Monsoon rains in the paltry to landslides and flooding killing at least 43 people and in sports peter has action and reaction from simona halep is incredible day at wimbledon. A messy international is calling on moscow to ease what it says is the harsh treatment of civilians in georgia its the latest organization to accuse the russian backed administrations and South Ossetia and abkhazia of stopping Free Movement and illegally detaining people for crossing the boundaries Andrew Symonds visited the georgian side of one of many communities split in 2 hes 85 hes frail and David Furnish vili feels like a prisoner in his own russia sees his small patch of land as an International Border georgia calls it the line of occupation on a map its a dotted line on the ground it calls his heart break. Divots daughter and grandson live on the other side. Be a widow can cope with poverty but not the separation. I think they do only here. On the other side its so important to be busier periods. To look after them but if i cross a line ill be detained. We visit divots and he told us he feels trapped and like his daughter helpless. Sometimes he comes here as far as the fence and cries because she cant cross and see her sick mother. Its hard to imagine but daf it frequently risks detention by finding a spot to cross the line at night in order to get his pension from georgia. The people here of paul they had an uncomplicated way of life yet the atmosphere now is one of repression more than 30 security bases built near the line only a few crossing points and theyre strictly controlled. Much of the messages by protesters are daily anti russian demonstrations in the capital is aimed at raising awareness that 20 percent of georgia is in their words occupy. Georgia is renowned for its stunning landscape its traditions its fine cuisine and the bonhomie of its people but at the heart of it all is what happened here 11 years ago and its legacy razor wire and human rights abuses. The European UnionMonitoring Mission patrols the georgian side russia hasnt observed all parts of a peace deal and its been engaged in whats called border eyes ation with fences Amnesty International issued a report this month saying hundreds of people face arbitrary detention each year trying to cross the line it says theres been widespread loss of land loss of access to water and livelihoods most of the land vanished d. D. Used to farm is the wrong side of the water he asks us if i die here who will find me Andrew Simmons whole village in georgia well Michael Carpenters managing director for the pen biden the center for diplomacy and Global Engagement is joining us now live via skype from washington thank you very much indeed for your time so. Give us i know overview if you will what do you think russias intentions are towards georgia. Well russia has proceeded with this policy of workers sation which essentially means moving the occupation lie in both south that saudia and up. Into georgian territory and this at the same time as its government tries to normalize official diplomatic relations between tbilisi and moscow out so theres a bit of a 2 step a parallel process going on here in reality then with jurors are being cut off from their livelihoods as you just reported on in the setup piece but at the same time the government is trying to normalize relations and pretend as if things are moving in the right direction unfortunately Georgian Society doesnt see it that way and so over the past 2 weeks weve had unprecedented street protests in tbilisi against Russian Occupation and precisely against this notion that somehow normalization and proceed as if russian were not occupying the country when clearly it is and it is not misstating peoples lives especially in those Border Regions near south city and a possible for those of us on the outside who would be very easy to draw a power levels between this situation and of course the situation between russia and ukraine but im guessing that theyre not the same what would be the difference do you think. So the principal difference is that in a policy and south to study it there is not a hot war into eastern regions of ukraine you see artillery fire each and every day there are casualties each and every day on both sides and so the war continues on and i wasnt south of the study of the war has stopped however Russian Occupying troops that remain we have expelled the north in athens both regions and now of there is this uneasy truce of course there was a cease fire that was adopted in 2008 and the conditions of that ceasefire that russia read to whether russia would pull back its troops to the status quo ante before the war they never did that they remain in the 2 regions and are occupying both and as i said earlier they are keep pushing the occupation line deeper and deeper into georgia which of course not only causes trouble for peoples livelihoods and for humanitarian reasons but it also is a symbol of this continuing occupation that grates on jordan nerves as you mentioned earlier of course weve seen in recent weeks an increasing number of protests is there going to be a Tipping Point do you think in which those protests mind starts to become more active that we might actually see some some sort of retaliate if you like or action being taken against russian forces. No i dont think so i think the government understands that militarily the situation is relatively stable and they want to keep it that way what is amazing about these protests is that tens of thousands of people of come out in the street and these have been largely peaceful protests almost entirely peaceful theyve been run by a Younger Generation of georgians that is dissatisfied with things at home with the government with the application of the rule of law but also most importantly they are dissatisfied with the continuing occupation of iraq and that is what is galvanizing these protests its unclear where this will go but there is legally a lot of pent up dissatisfaction with indoor society and georgia has one of the most mobilized civic consciousness and Civil Societies in the whole region and so my guess is this will likely continue for some time and even if it peters out itll come back to some point in the near future because this dissatisfaction is very optimal if i understand it correctly a significant proportion of georgias economy is done to russia to russian to resume which is that the moment i find it if im right is being restricted because president putin has a restricted flights into georgia from russia its a difficult situation for the georgians isnt it on the one hand they dont want to have this link with russia at the same time they are dependent on to a significant degree on the income from russia how does that factor. Well since the 2008 war of this particular government the one thats been a towers 2012 has set its political future on the normalization of ties with russia bringing in over a 1000000 russian tourists here expanding business and trade ties allowing russians to buy real estate in georgia and on the one hand this is work because it has stabilized the relationship there havent been as many frictions is that were prior to 2012 but on the other hand we see this growing russian influence in georgia and now with these protests when president putin decided to cut off all russian tourist poorest flow into georgia it is had thats repercussions on the economy and its convinced georgians that wait a 2nd were very vulnerable still to russian influence is this what we want Going Forward were going we need to diversify our common mean look for other markets other sources of tourism or destinations for products and shouldnt we be looking at russia with a little bit more suspicion and skepticism and not rushing into this normalization perhaps keeping things quiet on the ground militarily but having a wary eye towards the northern neighbor and so thats where i think things are moving right now just let me ask you finally 7 very briefly if you dont mind because time is against us where do you think the west stands in all of this because georgia has made overtures towards being part of nato and so on the west hasnt exactly played a big role in this as this incident these incidents have been going on. Well as far as georgias sessions an 8 so there are a lot of west European Countries that are still very skeptical france and germany principle about the uk and so for the moment there is not political consensus within nato to accept georgia into its ranks here in the United States however there is a strong bipartisan consensus supporting georgia and in fact when i was at the pentagon we launch a major defense Territorial DefenseTraining Program for georgias troops and that is ongoing down the trumpet ministration one of the few examples of programs started in the Obama Administration that were carried over through the trumpet minutes into the trump ministry so there is support in the United States were going to but i think in terms of priorities its all a little bit now in the latter ukraine has taken up a higher place of course venezuela syria north korea other events around the world have a look have displaced north a little bit from the leading position that had say maybe 10 years ago good to get your view on this Michael Carpenter thank you very much indeed my pleasure Tropical Storm barry has made landfall in the u. S. State of louisiana despite weakening from the Hurrican Barry is still forecast to dump heavy rains that could last for days the storm made landfall near Intracoastal City louisiana to the west of new orleans causing major Power Outages officials of one of disastrous flooding across a wide stretch of the gulf coast we are not in any way out of the woods and we will continue to reiterate this today tonight and into tomorrow the expected rain as you know could lead to flooding throughout the city of new orleans likely today through sunday to gray has the latest from new orleans. Im in the middle of canal street in new orleans normally on a saturday it would not look like this theyre known for their food for their music and for their party and the party here has been washed out at this point look people are taking this very seriously theyre watching the storm the issue is its just moving so slowly and thats really a double edged sword because it keeps everyone on edge but then as it makes it and it doesnt move out and that rain just continues to fall over and over and soaking into whats already a saturated area here so flooding is definitely going to be an issue you know new orleans below sea level its a bowl and once that water gets in the bowl getting it out is very difficult in some of the low lying parishes there are mandatory evacuations in place and really theyve been continuing today there are some other places where theyve added evacuations during the day as the storms move to enlighten a bit in new all and proper there is no Evacuation Order in place what theyre telling people is to shelter in place and thats an order that takes effect for the 2nd night in a row at 8 oclock this evening so while there are a few people out on the streets not what you would normally see but a few people out it should clear out dramatically once we get to that time in a few hours here theyre also telling people make sure you have plenty of food water all your medicines all the fuel youll need for 3 days or maybe more because thats how long it could be thats how long these rains could last then and thats how long this could be an issue.
