Rolonda has reopened the border crossings with the democratic republic of congo after closures early in the day because of the bone a crisis a one Year Old Girl has become the 3rd patient confirmed to have the virus in the congolese city of goma thats close to the row on the border. And crowds of protesters in sudan joining what organizers are calling a nationwide 1000000 man march that demanding justice for the killing of at least 6 protesters on monday. Now the iranian president Hassan Rouhani has called the u. S. Decision to impose sanctions on the foreign minister childish especially since terror on recently proposed unconditional talks the u. S. Is accusing the foreign minister promoting what it calls the reckless agenda of irans Supreme Leader as the latest from tehran. Irans president taking center stage at an event in azerbaijan province but his speech was yet again dominated by foreign politics attacking the United States decision to impose sanctions on irans top diplomat foreign minister Mohammad Javad zarif on. The shows that they got frustrated and now if they say we want to negotiate well the path for that is with the Foreign Ministry and the Foreign Ministers the head of that ministry that they were afraid of the ministers interviews this shows that the white house is shaken and it is afraid of the logic of an intelligent deployment. Zarif is the latest victim of the u. S. Maximum Pressure Campaign on iran its freezing his assets in the u. S. And these approvals to visit United Nations headquarters in new york will no longer be guaranteed. In a tweet he said the u. S. Reason for designating me is that i am irans primary spokesperson around the world it has no effect on me or my family as i have no property or interests outside of iran thank you for considering me such a huge threat to your agenda the western educated diplomats is one of the architects of the 2015 Nuclear Agreement with world powers but now hes fighting to keep the deal alive following the United States withdrawal from it last year ago u. S. National security adviser john bolton says the foreign minister is no honest broker we consider job and zarif the foreign minister an illegitimate spokesman for ron are and iran itself is a government you consider illegitimate do not well exactly it is a state sponsor of terrorism it is the worlds central banker of terrorism biggest finance or biggest arm or the sentients come at a time of heightened tensions between tehran and washington be it in the waterways of the gulf or in proxy conflicts in the middle east. The United States says it doesnt recognize the reefs authority in leading the gauche ations many here see that as ironic given zarif is known to be very close to irans Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei and if anyone has the authority to engage with the west it would be him but washington says it also doesnt want to engage with anyone from irans government the foreign minister is now the latest on a long list separating officials under u. S. Sanctions and with each new designation any real hope of resolving the conflict between tehran and washington gets bleaker there are such a pari also sarah to her on. The front runner in the race to be the democratic partys nominee to challenge President Trump has had a tough night former Vice President joe biden faced a touch from now another president ial hopefuls during a 2nd night of debates john hendren reports now from detroit. The front runner spot was joe bidens to lose any plan to win or go down fighting in debate one comolli harris attacked biden got a boost in the polls. On the way in to debate 2 he asked her to go easy minutes later on question one he has sailed her plan for publicly funded health care the senators had several plans for you cant be president trying with double talk on this plan we are now paying 3 bill a trillion dollars a year for health care in america over the next 10 years its probably going to be 6 trillion dollars we must then inside detroits fox theater came an avalanche of counterattacks on immigration it looks like one of us has learned the lessons of the past and one of us hasnt on criminal justice because you stood up and use that tough on crime phony rhetoric we got a lot of people liked it but destroyed communities like mine and on Climate ChangeWashington State governor jay inslee called bidens plan in adequate his disagreement with his response with me it did. When he said. Theres no work in the south this is our last chance in the next presidency we had to move our houses on fire were going to put it out. As well it had a target on his back it was hit again and again by his critics on a day each time he struck back over the next few days the polls would determine whether those repeated attacks left a lasting mark to win against president democrats will have to win in states like michigan which trump won in 2016 Detroiter Mario moral hazard vice come here often work hard to make sure they connect with the voters make sure there is some type of connection with issues. Just black issues black folks like everybody else want to talk about those issues that are going to be successful in the future student loan. In his Closing Remarks biden bungled his own fund raising phone number he meant to say tax joe to 30330 instead he said go to joe 30330 and help me in this fight the repeated attacks that apparently rattled the leading candidate john hendren 08 detroit. White house correspondent kimberly halakhah joins us live now from washington d. C. Kimberly said joe biden that facing attacks from all sides last night but was there a clear winner of the debate. And many people feel that the winner may have been donald trump because what these candidates were doing was assailing one another and not the man that they hope to replace in the white house and certainly this is the problem with the race when the advantage of the incumbent donald trump house is hes already campaigning we still dont know who know who the Democratic National rather the democratic president ial nominee will be so this is something that is a challenge for the candidates we certainly saw the front runner joe biden having some trouble and really highlighting the generational gap if you will not just in take it easy on me kid or go easy on me kid to come to harris the problem so about explaining how to fundraise through text messaging it really showed that contrast between him his advanced age and some of the younger candidates on the stage so a lot of obstacles for these candidates to overcome Young CompanyPresident Trump is attending one of the one of his big rallies in cincinnati tonight how has he been responding to the debates. Yeah the president was clearly watching he tweeted a series of tweets right after the debate so frankly what looks like will be the ultimate sort of argument that he expects to make on the campaign trail once that nominee is finally named we should point out not till next july officially but he sort of cast it as do you want to keep America Great do you want to keep the prosperity or do you want to let it go so we got a sense of what the president will be saying even tonight as he goes to cincinnati one other thing well be watching as he holds that rally there though is whether or not hell be able to kind of tame his supporters if you will last rally in North Carolina there was a very distinct chat from the crowd and send her back this was targeted when he was talking about omar the democratic congresswoman who was foreign born has been certainly critical of donald trump but he has in return a dump truck did nothing to discourage that chads chanting he said afterwards that he didnt like it but he didnt do anything to stop it so the question will be will we hear those chants again at the rally in cincinnati for donald trump and will he stop at this time can really.

On drugs just lacey and im in zambia to meet the team of all this on the fly and on most of the oldest flying on hospital is an airplane has been converted into a fully functioning surgical and training hospital which travels to developing countries worldwide. The oldest team has been working here in zambia one of the least developed countries in the world since 2010. 00. 0000. 00 i guess i let my mother grandmother let me be. Cutting back i think i salute you lets go lets get. The plane has a fully equipped operating room alongside laser treatment and yes. A multimedia class for an interactive training facility. Richard has been brought in to have corrective surgery on a screen. This relatively simple operation will have a huge impact on richs ability to perform well at school and therefore his prospects in the rest of his life it also gives a local doctor. The opportunity to work alongside his mentor Laurie Benjamin one of the u. K. s leading our surgeons so you see over there a microscope doctor and bony doing research it together with the dr benjamin its its amazingly well equipped the proper modern you know for a long period the really expected when you come into the plane incredible. I want to show you another interactive feature ill be on your route here is this monitor over here so we have 18 cameras onboard we have the opportunity but after that everything thats happening in the Main Operating theater to the front classroom and is that i can hear is a certain voice yes so said the surgeon doing the surgery as when the microphone here so during surgery hes explaining the procedure step by step to the front from classroom and also gives the ability of the participants in the training doctors to ask questions and opens up a fair after another 48 people in the course exactly mazie. Doctor in bali which is just have your gratian how did it will. They went. We were trying to correct this winter. Here in terms of for your training had you done many years swift surgeries or you involved with all this actually most of the screens that we did during training was observatories is watching what somebody was doing i see ok so these are really come with this. To date the following our Hospital Team has Trained Medical staff and form surgeries and 78 different countries. One of the most important procedures that they teach is cataract surgery. Cataracts occur when areas of the lens become opaque due to a change in the structure of proteins within it this prevents the normal transition of light through the lens making vision blurred or misty over time and without treatment the cataracts may quote barges leading eventually to blind. This is one of the major problems that over stills with and zambia essentially the problem is that you know one lens which sits just behind your people goes from being totally transparent to a bit cloudy and therefore impacting your vision is a nice way to demonstrate this so if at the moment of normal vision and then with the cataract. The vision degrades to vioxx so you can imagine the impact with this surgery when it returns to know. That you have another unique tool called a Training Program and runs called a high simulator and i wanted to use it to get doctored up to how my heart and i started out after all i just try explaining to you what the leader does ok land track id love to go yeah heres my patient gets heres your luckly not real these days are i seeing a major you know youre going to grasp trying goals and put it in the center you go too low you hit the lens and get the culture and you dont hire you that means that or it ok ok. If the countries that leaves it you know now that they dont have a chance to try this before i gave before going to a real i use that exact outsize just go ahead. Don you know im not closing you know and pull it out withdrawal and were going to see your score ok. Ok very nice 15 im how do you know my sense im really that. So is there a particular school that you have to get at least on rotation on monday hundreds of ok before i leave i meet a group of women who have all had cataract surgery. So she was totally blind she couldnt see anything she could get was like manchurians rosen is in miami and then did she have surgery on the plane yesterday were you the lady who was dancing just now yes because because youre happy. Meters are some are not i dont know you that was how can i say that i have. My. Life. A key element of the old this program is to work with local medical start using local facilities this ensures that even when the plane is gone the much needed specialist i treatment can still be provided in zambia this training is done they could to a Central Hospital where dr m. Boney works our children and i problems Vision Impairment is not a big problem in zambia we have about 50000 children we did you get into the country since obvious came to keep it they provide what we needed to the ship they want to be the good people i seem to think. This is the only guy hospital children that hospital in zambia yes is glad that we have. 3 young sisters have travelled over 16 hours by box with their mother to receive treatment from the will be steamed. All 3 suffer from varying degrees of cataract blindness which has caused them to fall behind at school as i can see. 2 of the sisters are now recovering from the surgery. So were just in the main hospital now just to go out going to one of the wards to meet lucy whos the 3rd child of the family who is having cataract operation this afternoon so from this way. I want to share any motion me lucy helen what lucy whats your favorite subject in school what you like to learn about this one issue is just really interesting also. So. How is your english lizzie one. That. Says you. Have a fantastic. So the issue lucy has that she has cataracts in both eyes and appears as though she has normal visual ability but in fact its significantly impaired so much so that its had a real impact on being able to go to school and her lifestyle at home so with the intervention this afternoon with the right medical treatment which may be able to make a real positive impact on that. I dont see. They dont want to have this surgery is another opportunity for doctors benjamin and bony to Work Together you are this kid. So theyre all set to go in theater shes now sort of sleep under general anaesthetic the surgeons are scrubbed and set to go so its can see how they came up. During the operation the cataract is removed through a tiny incision in the on and a synthetic lens is inserted and ill just use the pickup laser 15 degree being prepared 2. 75. You see on the screen that the. New synthetic lens has returned the transparency to the people. And therefore should provide a good outcome for the c. O u. U u k. K yeah i dont need. To see that feeling that shit thats. Yeah. I. Know. You have a good ear overall by the situation but well see what the assistant show is now trying to figure out for. Certain burning what are you looking for with this examination. Just to see if thats the cornea. And the eye not collapsing from the point at which youre in certain could the new lungs. Oh. Dear. You know. So far it looks like a moron. And it is going to the smaller sized objects no. Beam proof from presurgery test is dramatic it really is amazing. She was able to see just the set figures thats all she could recognize it before the operation ok and now she improved to be able to see this something credible we know we know it is by. Im doing my best i think. Its just my 1st such as not to say. I. Saw it come to the end of my time in zambia and whats been wonderful to witness is this very special relationship between us and its local partners and the success of this project has been plain to see in the stories of lucy and her sister and the hundreds of thousands of people worldwide have had their site saved and their lives changed
