The fact that he does so in the middle of a village is no coincidence. Mr malone go believes its sabotage he suspects the vendor is the one known as traffickers in the deal congo. This is because a lot of people saw. It go through the world got through that does that its very different i speak up i think. We go back to the stasi. Methods but then again i would love to get to.

So russia and ukraine of carried out a major Prisoner Exchange thats been hailed as a 1st step in perhaps easing tensions that led to moscows an extension of crimea and a 5 year long conflict in Eastern Ukraine 35 prisoners have been released by each side it includes the 24 ukrainian sailors who were captured near crimea among those released by ukraine is a witness in the downing of malaysian Airlines Flight m h 17 a move that angered the netherlands we lost many of its citizens in the tragedy ukraines new president says he hopes to end the conflict that has killed more than 13000 people. 2 connection telephone connection between 2 president s and we have if your. Staff. Have said to our journalist so you prayed for me and establishment in 2 hour long team that week we have to begin we have to begin all the steps i hope will have the nearest meeting in normandy permanently and the big about it and will be all the steps during the. The future i during the nearest future we have to do all the steps to finish these horrible war theres been International Reaction the german chancellor Angela Merkel welcomed the change she said this exchange of prisoners between russia and ukraine is a sign of hope its worth continuing the hard work to implement the minsk a court and the French Foreign minister. Said this is a gesture that reflects the willingness of russia and ukraine to resume dialogue that allows people to see an end to a 5 year conflict which continues to kill dozens of people every month lets start with said danson in moscow with more details on the prisoner swap. This is the 1st major positive move between russia and ukraine since the conflict started in 2014 Prisoners Exchange including a person who was sentenced to jail for 20 years all accents also ukrainian filmmaker who has also been on a Hunger Strike 445 days a manage to get home today meeting his family after 45 years in prison here in the north of russia his release is seen as a major concession by russia by Vladimir Putin and it shows that was and is willing to negotiate with president s alinsky off ukraine but he wanted something in return and the person who went back from ukraine to moscow is vladimir the same a key witness in the n. H. S. And seen as a downer of a malaysian airliner in 2014 will kill that killed 298 people russia insisted of having this person was actually a Ukrainian National and was captured by Ukrainian Security forces a few months ago to be brought to moscow where he arrived today especially dutch prosecutors were very angry about this because they have opened his amateur for teen case and they wanted to question him but as the dutch authorities have announced they managed to talk to him before he was moved to moscow so in the last couple of days the whole exchange of these prisoners of 7 to people was or its hanging on this one person and alinsky had made this confession because for him the 24 sale of ukrainian sailors who were imprisoned here in russia were captured last year in the courage trade was an important victory he promised to bring them back home during his election and campaign and he managed to fulfill his promise so now the way is open for negotiations theres a possible meeting of the socalled Normandy Group which consists of germany france ukraine and russia maybe even just a month or a. When the negotiations about whats happening in Eastern Ukraine and a possible solution for that area could be discussed but what this whole exchange shows and also the delays that have happened is that the. Bargaining position of russia and of president putin is very strong and that they hope that of course the concessions will come from the ukrainian side as the Foreign Ministry in moscow has put it they say. Has shown to be a sensible person who is willing to compromise with us now from moscow because who is from the Russian Academy of sciences its good to have you with us so everyone seems to be very positive about this the ukrainian president was weve heard from the germans and the french as well they think it is a good 1st step do you share that enthusiasm. Yes this is a very good step and i would like to say that this is a step towards the direction of building it thrusts a soul or way to trust between the 2 countries between the russian for the ration and republic of ukraine because so far so far there were no its raw stand. People were very much hostile to each other and now after these swap of the prisoners. 35. 00 to 35. 00 between russia and ukraine there is a hope for that these thrust will finally developer and there will be more forceful negotiations even arms of these socalled are not among far much signal the case though that the russians got a better deal here in the ukrainians actually had to give up more what i mean is one of the 24 sailors who got released by russia they had to be released anyway theyve gone through the whole process already and also russia got back the suspects for m. H. 17 which is a really big win. I dont think that russia will gain more than ukraine actually because that was the receiver the reciprocal agreements actually in the north of the these 2 sides especially i think are on the level of far too proud to serve rather than zelinsky of ukraine and rather than putting off Russian Federation agreed to exchange to to a swap of the. Reason this action and these numbers normally and ultimately dont have such a sacred meaning because the main thing here i guess is that finally the 2 countries made a step toward towards each other and made these small this is the main thing here is president zelinsky the difference now a new face in russia some sorry in ukraine i should say someone whos willing to negotiate and maybe even compromise. You know i think that there probably is a little. Whether he was even elected as a president or made some promises to the people who were supporting him and this was the promise to release the 20 8 busy sailors from russian t. V. And are also huge he promised that to get their relations between ukraine and russia bats i actually saw i think that. Time will show actually what the kind of president he will be but what could be sat with the bush is that he would be better president for ukraine than the former president mr poroshenko that in his sudden cause im glad you could join us on the news hour thank you for your time. We move to other news and the effort to save lives continues in the bahamas in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian the u. S. Coast guard is evacuating people to the capital now many are coming from the hardest hit imans of grand bahama and most are without the basics food water shelter in fact the United Nations says more than 70000 people are now in need of bicycle systems but relief efforts have been hampered by infrastructure damage pias runways down communications and at least 43 people confirmed dead and the government is saying that the final death toll actually could be quite staggering those evacuating leaving behind well that sort of thing widespread destruction all over the islands. Off that are going to be really do is are in rio is they got a really good he would you see in the movies like those and the dharm says the clips you watch on you do it was just unreal. With us now from freeport in the bahamas i mean well tell us about what youve been seeing. A local all yes were in freeport grand bahama this is an area of the country that was worst hit by the storm where we are right now is actually the Hotel District of freeport were on our way to a shelter where we hear that many of the displaced have been taken behind me you can see some of these boarded up businesses empty streets this would be a part of town that would normally be bustling with tourists but really there isnt a single tourist in sight in fact those tourists that have remained here on the island are desperately looking for a way to get out what weve been seeing over the last few days hopping from island to island just yesterday we were on the island of abaco in the community of marsh harbor this was the worst hit area by hurricane dory and i want to just remind our viewers this was a category 5 storm that took 36 hours to make it across the Northern Region of the bahamas with wind gusts upwards of 350 Kilometers Per Hour it wasnt just those heavy winds that caused so much destruction here kemal it was this storm surge even several kilometers inland you can still. See where we are holmes businesses entire communities entire neighborhoods were sitting in at least 3 meters of water when we were flying into freeport just yesterday afternoon you could see from above the destruction just the scale of the devastation here on the island of grand bahama trees snapped in half power lines littering the highways entire neighborhoods flattened as if as if a nuclear bomb had gone off it really is a nightmarish scene on this island and as you mentioned already come on not only is there a concern over shortages of food water and medicine but there is just this general this general collective call for help from the International Community we know that that several International Tourist agencies cruise liners have been donating food but there is a sense of urgency here that there isnt enough food there isnt enough water and that this crisis can still get can still get far worse well 45 people confirmed dead and then this would is used staggering that the final death toll could be staggering i mean that could be anything if there need sort of indication of how bad this could get. That thats right and that one of the reasons i think that were still hearing these conservative estimates on the death tolls is because there are still parts of the bahamas that search and rescue teams have not arrived in yet when we were leaving the island of abaco yesterday there were hundreds of people crowding the runway desperately looking for a way out desperately trying to get there themselves on flights that are only now starting to arrive in some of these i
