Just hours after they stormed a city in democratic republic of congo and surrounded a prison dozens of armed fighters left peacefully. In sports arena williams into round 3 of the u. S. Open williams moving a step closer to a record equalling 24th grand slam title. Starting in lebanon where him of life detected beneath the rubble of a collapsed building of spot hope and fear for what may be survivor it is exactly almost a month ago that a massive explosion devastated beirut caused by that almost 3000. 00 tons of Ammonium Nitrate which caught fire and blew up after being improperly stored for years. What we have seen so far is unfortunately no trace of any big team of body we have been conducting 2 scans in 2 different room holding the scanner on the porch we just need a 4 inch fence and commit the horse so we did that so far we dont see nothing and but we are going to conduct again im sure another scan thing hes done we work in phase the call the nation is by the chief together with me to tele. 11 is going to tell me we have a very good team everybodys working hand in hand so lets check in with santa photo who is near the search site in beirut couple of hours ago designer i was speaking to you said that the latest scan had revealed i think it was 7 breaths per minute was what they were detecting is there been any update on that. Well as you can imagine this is a very difficult and painstaking operation this is an old building the old building collapsed and these structures what we understand are just not stable and thats why rescuers have to tread carefully they dont want to risk their lives and if indeed there is a survivor underneath that rubble they dont want to risk anything what weve seen over the past hour since the early hours of the morning is you know these these rescue teams digging through that rubble trying to reach the ground floor yes you mentioned the 7 per minute that is what the sensor test revealed or detected approximately a few hours ago yesterday what triggered this whole search operation was a dog a dog a search dog with a with a team from chile they he detected the smell and the machinery that the chilean team how tech did 18 breaths per minute underneath underneath the rubble and now many people here will tell you the chances of finding someone alive is slim but at the same time theyre not giving up hope and theyre saying that they will not stop they will keep on ticking no matter how long it takes so i hope you can still hear me i know its getting noisy behind you there but what sort of impact to Something Like this had. Just moving out the way things are moving. As you go up on the hill so just to go get them out ok bye but because theyre going to use their sensory equipment and they dont want any single signal to interfere because theyre going to try to see whether or not they can detect someone breathing so as you can imagine its a very chaotic situation on the ground theyre asking us to move on. Because of the fear of interference and the state but they have been thinking the problem for 24 hours now using using their bare hands so yes theyre not giving up hope but i think the survivor like their life at this point. Ok saying im going to leave you there for now i can see its getting pretty busy and its a little difficult to hear from you but thank you for that great to be right there on the scene as those rescuers continue to try to search for as weve said a sign of life that was detected by sniffer dogs yesterday 18 brits per minute were detected it was down to 7 a little bit earlier today so perhaps hope fading but while there is hope they will continue to search lets just go back though as we say its been a month and think about the number of people affected by this blast official figures say 191 people died 6 still missing 300000 lost their homes some remain in structures which have been deemed unsafe because simply theyve got nowhere else to go and at least 6 and a half 1000 people were injured many of them permanently disabled were going to talk to Joseph Abboud about this he is the director of the fund as institute for Public Policy and International Affairs at the American University of beirut great to have you with us one month after the blast which im sure you remember vividly it feels like it should have been one of those life changing moments im sure it was for the people of beirut but what about the system and the politics that people believe led to this point is anything change there. Look at what we can be a bit cynical or. Unfortunate that the stuff the trauma the blast her school is going to such as the things that you were just describing is not matter much but i know what is happening on the political level decides its Political Class and the political life as a whole is living on another planet or and on and on and on the war but theres a kind of disconnection that is growing between whats happening on the political scene and the reality that they need to be a reality of stephanys and also a disconnect the growing disconnect between the people and the government wanted to close all of the shades and fuse i mean were all in one thing. Exactly bill know what what are the casualties physical and human. Lot of things have been destroyed not only material but i think the soul of the city has been. We still dont. Have any clue about why are you. And the truth about what happened on this on this very day off was forced so. Silly to interrupt or what i went when i hear all of that from you i wonder if any of it actually surprised you in the end as i say this should be the type of event which literally shakes everything up its the type of thing which a government and no one can hide from and yet it seems that theyre still able to does that even surprise you. You know look as a political analyst and someone who i was a loop for a lot of times this country and witnessed the the procrastination of Political Class and the rock atlas of the political system it shouldnt surprise me if a lot of people were saying what happened on those who are so tremendous the magnitude of what happened was so and you would jump why it. Is up to the guard wouldnt change maybe it one could disparage that strictly but thinks changing in this country unfortunately i think that we should start thinking about these lines and this would be redy tragic and very gets a sort of thing for the future of this country what do you make of the role that france has tried to play in the last month or so emmanuel mccrone the president injecting himself directly into the situation in beirut whats that achieved it. Maybe it may be i mean putting aside the grand politics of that if you succeed or not within this very gloomy dumbell that we have been living in for a month now maybe this was a little smaller or even likened this many of Michael Stark to try to inject some energy. And energy and life into it does society does such buying or act up any huge amount of aid is is slightly internationally than our but at the same time i mean does mission or this initiative. Mean to limit to it may be the government before quickly but everybody is today very doxil that this government succeed the thinking go on previous you see the huge challenges that the country is facing the French Initiative is by itself short lived because its indexed on a function of the Regional Development that are coming out and even though the present but growing sense knows. After january and february things in the region dont march what its trying to do in love and our business should we be it better. Although it is eerie scan it to see today ok joseph thank you so much for your time just about one months to the day after the blast in lebanon my pleasure thank you on to other news nato calling on russia to cooperate with an International Investigation into what happened to kremlin critic alexina valmy doctors in germany where hes been treated say he was poisoned with a soviet era nerve agent but russias government says it has no evidence of any crime however nato chief u. N. Stoltenberg has called it an appalling assassination attempt by moscow. Time and again we have seen Opposition Leaders and critics of the russian regime attacked and their lives threatened some have even been killed so this is not just an attack on an individual but on from a mental democratic rights and it is a serious breach of International Law which demands an International Response we wish mr noble now a full and speedy recovery weve got alexandra stay on a vertical prayer with us from moscow now oleksandr a very is more of the tough talk like we heard from the german chancellor Angela Merkel in the wake but i suspect the type of talk which isnt going to have much impact on moscow at all. No indeed come on we dont have a lot of reactions on this so far but the ones that we did hear are actually saying go what you just said so for instance. Head of the upper house of the Russian Parliament committee for International Affairs says that it is too early to involved in organising a sion. Of chemical weapons since he said 1st experts have to establish that the chemical weapon was used on the vine need this goes in the line of what we heard before from a much higher up in in moscow and that is that moscow the not receive any evidence that the charcoal was the thing that poisoned the nonviolently and they themselves are sold here the russian doctors didnt find any toxins in his body and other one said that it is not a place of young stoltenberg or nato to be asking these questions to russia and that they should take care of their internal affairs and this doesnt even deserve an answer from from moscow but one thing is sure though there is no love lost between nato and russia this statements alone will further strain the relations between these 2 facts on threats than of which go too far with that update from moscow thank you for that nato also says greece and turkey have started talks aimed at avoiding a conflict over Energy Resources in the Eastern Mediterranean this is despite a denial from greece which says the talks will only happen once turkish ships leave the disputed areas the nato discussions are separate from a german led mediation effort the 2 nations disagree over where their maritime boundaries lie. Still at sea a crew member has died in an engine room explosion aboard an oil tanker thats on fire off the coast of sri lanka 22 other crew members were rescued from the new diamond panama red just a tank which has been on fire for 2 days the Sri Lankan Navy and indian coast guard ships are trying to put out that fire. Has more now from colombo. The vessel itself is on man and all the crew have been evacuated the surviving crew there is no power because of the fire so it is drifting basically in International Waters it seemed that it was moving slightly towards the sri lankan corps something that the sri lankan authorities are very conscious of this is off the eastern coast of sri lanka now obviously more than 2000000 barrels of crude oil. Massive environmental disaster waiting to happen we just heard at the official press conference by the navy the Marine Environment Protection Agency about what is being done so far now obviously the sea theyre keeping close tabs or working with the indian course to bring the flame under control to cool the surrounding sort of parts of the ship to prevent the spread of those flames into the cargo area but obviously there is no guarantee that this can happen now the navy very confident that the indicators are that they might be able to contain it within that sort of bridge area and the engine room area but obviously the coming hours are crucial. Heres whats coming up. I want i want justice i want these officers charged with murder a daughters appeal after she accuses police of suffocating her father 7 officers suspended now from tuesday. We will also hear from some of the women fighting to advance female rights in the philippines. And sports news coming out later as well the man behind the football leagues web site goes on trial and he will have that story. To us with donald trump has denied making disparaging remarks about u. S. War veterans during a 1st world war and tenor ceremony the atlantic magazine says the president described fallen u. S. Soldiers as quote loses an unnamed Senior Defense Department Official reportedly confirmed those comments and that trump refused to visit a fit of Veterans Cemetery in france because it was raining. Because it. Looked like military getting religion. It is a good place to a. Magazine that. Is really. Ok can we help it is our White House Correspondent to talk 3 more of us that clip actually kimberly i mean that kind of says a lot the fact that at night at joint base andrews he comes off the plane is in the dark theres no lights and he still wants to talk he wants to get this message across and thats coming out on all sorts of different channels. Yeah theres no question the u. S. President took this one a bit personally he was furious with this article in fact he kind of provided that impromptu rebuttal almost immediately after the article was public and about a 7 minute diatribe pushing back denies that he has ever disparaged military Service Members that hes ever insult of the dead or disabled soldiers and really sees this as an attempt in his words to influence the 2020 u. S. Election the white house has been working overtime to push back on this and the reason for this and the reason the president may be take this personally is the fact that he feels that he has done a lot for the u. S. Military that he has been behind military Service Members from before he took office the argument coming from the Communications Director alyssa farah is that these are patently false allegations that the president has increased military spending that he has given soldiers a much needed pay rise and even bolstered support for veterans so its not surprising that we see the president pushing back on this given the fact that he has made much of his platform on the campaign trail and in office in support of u. S. Service members or maybe can believe call me cynical maybe he wants their votes in november. Oh yes absolutely and heres why the president is really upset he really have the vote in 2016 the latest polls show he doesnt just look at these numbers in 2016 according to most polls the president was ahead of Hillary Clinton his rival back then by about 20 Percentage Points in terms of support in the military right now polls show hes trailing joe biden by about 6 percent this is serious because of course the president is the commander in chief he is the leader of the u. S. Military and they do not respect him at least more than half seem to have a disc approving view of their commander in chief so this is why we see donald trump this week working really hard for that military vote we saw him just a couple of days ago North Carolina where a historic battleship is located where a lot of veterans are located in a swing state he really needs declaring it a historic city so on the heels of that effort having this atlantic article come out alleging the president disparaged soldiers is a big problem for this white house trying to win reelection in 2020 can really how could i White House Correspondent thank you now for naam group has returned to its base this is in democratic republic of congo after a standoff outside a prison some 305 has with the socalled cooperate for the development of the congo and to the ton of money on friday that initially given the army a deadline they wanted fellow members to be released who had been held inside the prison have since left off the negotiations although its unclear what was discussed malcolm webb watching this one from nairobi this moved quickly it was only a few hours ago malcolm we were talking about this standoff and now kind of all of. Thats right hundreds of fighters piled into the town they were demanding the release of prisoners and also demanding the terms of a provisional deal that theyve made weve some factions of the army to be upheld they want to be demobilized they want to be integrated into the army for fighters to be given food rations this is something that they say theyve been promised and that the army and the government had failed to deliver the army find been trying to defeat this militia who could echo since the beginning of the they failed to do so so the militias said you know if you can give us positions in the army food rations and so on we will come out the bush now he said this has been failed to army and failed to deliver been then it is seems that the reason for this is that there isnt backing for this kind of agreement from the capital kinshasa there in just 2 days ago the uns chief in congo said that they would not support this kind of demobilisation because they dont although they have done this kind of thing many times in the path they now dont want to be in a position along with the International Community by theyre seen to be rewarding people for taking up arms and for killing civilians and many civilians have been killed by these groups in that area in the last year or 2 many people have fled their homes many people have been displaced because of this escalating violence now we just heard a short while ago that an agreement was made with the militia. In the town of promise that their fighters in the jail will be released and the militia have said that they will be back in 2 days if the government doesnt begin to implement the terms of this deal that they want but its going to be very difficult if not impossible for the government to implement that deal without the support of the u. N. And the u. N. Has said its not going to support that kind of thing so it looks like its a bit of a deadlock there was horrendous violence here in the early 2000 when the militias of the of which this one is a descendent were fighting terrible interethnic violence sponsored by neighboring uganda rwanda was also involved thousands of civilians were killed. So for many People Living in the town of bunia is very frightening prospect indeed this kind of violence might return but its the threat of this kind of violence is being used as a lever to try and meet the demands of this militia and any foreign backers that it might now alright thanks malcolm webb with that update following developments in nairobi weve got also with us. Who is in goma a Civil Society coordinator and research some of the stuff i want to talk to you about india but just your reaction 1st of all to what happened today in the fact as i said to malcolm that it seemed to be resolved quite quickly when it looked like it could get out of control quite quickly. Well this is a long long history situation in congo where congo has been involved with war for 25 years now i think. This show does show up of force by these are militia its only a testament to the congo fairly a state but also to defend you have more news coming of a u. N. Peacekeeping mission that has been present in this country for as long as i dont know over 20 years now and a lot mentally doing nothing to protect the people so we can only. Expect if not the wests vic and his government is not going to abide by the demand of these guys because beyond me is there but if its doing nothing more no score u. N. Force they are nearby but also doing nothing for the kony to stay there for a sec because as i said theres another story i want to ask you about want to tell our viewers about as well protests outside rwandas Embassy India sea now Police Used Tear Gas to disperse around 250 people it all stems from around the culpability for a massacre of 1100 people in east india say back in 1908 demonstrators accuse the rwandan ambassador vincent of denying that it happened so felix is that what sparked this off because for something that happened whats that 22 years ago. To suddenly rear its head and become an issue again. Well its pretty sad that degeneres does and janet was deny old by over 100. 00 government has become sort of they are our diplomacy unfortunately our country does as being and also hits by genocide and other crimes against humanity but havent gets him are i mean seeing it some buses are denying must have been our extensively extensively documented by the way you want to drop of expand are through this are famous are you when im up in report 2010 bar in addition to event that has been a ruling by the International Criminal courts back in 2005 our case binding and uganda uganda was recognized guilty of crimes of Economic Crimes and 2nd quarters against humanity so seeing a diplomatic opposite of from one denying the must go on go it simply doesnt help to wonder near the congo and it simply does indeed ingenuous and on that we go and we know how how bad or otherwise were relations between rwanda and see anyway for Something Like this to well i think you it its not going to have to affect much. The relationship are on the political side because unfortunately if it comes to this government. And the head of state and they have always been our puppet ears or be outside they have i mean same with ted all the country. Vienna governors vicar option and so full so they have no choice if not bowling to whatever i wonder will say however are on of his social side.

Back to the u. S. With donald trump is creating more distrust and confusion around malian voting ahead of novembers election speaking at a rally in the swing state of pennsylvania the u. S. President said those who vote early by post should still go along to the polling stations on election day to check if their ballot has been counted Election Officials have warned this would cause chaos and even longer voting queues a day earlier trump suggested people attempt to vote twice which is illegal as a way to test the antifraud measures. Sign you maam. Ok you sign it and send it in and then you have to follow it. And if i lecture. Early voting that is not tabulated and counted you go vote and then if for some reason after that it shouldnt take that long it comes in theyre not going to be able to tabulate it because you will have voted but you have to make sure your vote counts because the only way theyre going to beat us is by doing that kind of stuff trying to be nice. His white house rival joe biden though says that people are frustrated then the only way they will get change is by voting were in a situation now where we cannot let up we can hope beilenson any form wrong the one concern i have and i understand it is that people are going to be so frustrated particularly in the communities that need help the most need to be treated.

Biden said it was the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville Virginia that prompted him to run for president finally now getting the point. Were going to be interesting your original sin. Of this country. 400 years old you see original sin slavery and all the vestiges of it and i can guarantee you everything is so much more yours but i guarantee one thing. Whole heck of a lot better but his was a centrist message of compassion and also to his Business Owners and police coping with days of arson and looting he offered condemnation of violence and a promise to pursue rioters so regardless how angry you are if you burn you should be held accountable as someone who dug into the house.
