The leaders of Us Intelligence agencies have been updating senators on the threats facing the country. They spoke of military and nuclear challenges around the world, and warned of more election interference at home. But domestic politics also featured, with the head of the fbi contradicting the white house version of events over the departure of senior aide rob porter. Jane obrien has more on the days testimony. Part of the job of americas intelligence chiefs is to sound the alarm and dan coats rang it loud and clear. The United States is under attack. Under attack by entities that are using cyber to penetrate virtually every major action that takes place in the United States. And while iran, north korea and china were all named, russia was emphasised. We expect russia to continue using propaganda, social media, personas, sympathetic spokesmen and other means to influence to try to build on its wide range of operations and exacerbate social and political fissures in the United States. Us intelligence agencies all agree that moscow meddled with the president ial election and will try to mess with novembers mid terms. It is an assessment apparently at odds with the president s view. We cant confront this threat which is a serious one with a whole of government response when the leader of the government continues to deny that it exists. This was the first major appearance for the newly his predecessor, james comey, was fired after coming into conflict with President Trump over russia. Today, the fbi contradicted the white house over rob porter, a senior aide, who left after allegations of assaulting his two ex wives. The administration has been vague about what it knew and when, but mr wray gave a clear timeline of information gathered during Border Security clearance. The fbi submitted a partial report on the investigation in question in march and then we administratively closed the file in january and then earlier this month we received some Additional Information and passed that on as well. The white house had said the fbi checks were ongoing. It will adjourn until the close of session at 2 30pm. The rest of the hearing took place behind chased deersg but the public statements imply that americas domestic divisions are becoming a threat, even as its foreign enemies circle.

Multiple people are reported to have been wounded. The incident took place in west valley city, just outside salt lake city. Police are still securing the scene. The American Ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley, has called on the Security Council to put pressure on the burmese leader, aung san suu kyi, to acknowledge that horrific acts are taking place against Rohingya Muslims in myanmar.

The anc says hes agreed to stand down, but only after a transition period of three to six months which the party rejected. Mr zuma has come under mounting pressure to leave his post, following a series of corruption scandals. 0ur africa editor fergal keane reports from johannesburg. Not quite the night of the long knives, but still the party moving definitively to be rid of a defiant president. Late last night the convoy of the anc leader Cyril Ramaphosa coming to tell his executive that after a short meeting jacob zuma was refusing to resign voluntarily. With the media kept at bay, the party debated what to do next. Its half past midnight and theyre still talking in there, more than ten hours after they started. Theres a sense that the whole future of the anc, and indeed of this country, hinges on what happens now. This afternoon in johannesburg, after a meeting that eventually ran for 13 hours, the anc revealed that its patience was exhausted. In its wisdom, the nec decided as follows the anc decided as follows one, to recalljacob zuma. Recall, in other words they were ordering jacob zuma to resign. And if he doesnt its likely theyll force him out through a motion of no confidence in parliament. But its potentially risky. The president still has many supporters in the party. Do you worry that this is going to split the anc, divide the movement irreparably . I dont know whether the anc will split. But we are leaders, we belong to branches and we are appealing to our structures to understand that the National Executive committee has taken decisions. So, as the anc officials leave, theyve now thrown down a gauntlet to president jacob zuma. Theyve given him time, lots of time, they say, to respond to their demand that he step down. Its now up to him. Nobody could accuse the anc of rushing to remove jacob zuma. The leadership did nothing while corruption scandals multiplied during nine years of his rule. An indian immigrant family, the guptas, was allowed to purchase Vital National enterprises, employing the president s son in what became known as state ca pture. Now the opposition believes president zuma no longer cares about dividing his party or country. Now hes just defiant. You know, these are the last kicks of a dying horse. But it becomes dangerous. He doesnt care. Hes not even scared of impeachment. So, he is prepared to lose everything. Jacob zuma has lived and ruled in the shadow of greatness. However it comes about, he will leave office a humiliated figure.

The latest headlines israels Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has confirmed that police are recommending he be charged with corruption offences. Mr netanyahu denies any wrongdoing. American intelligence chiefs insist russias election meddling isnt over. And the head of the fbi contradicts the white house. Guyana in south america is one of the smallest countries in the world with a population of less than 800,000, and yet it has the highest suicide rate among women, some five times higher than the uk, according to the world health 0rganization. Tiffany sweeney reports from the capital, georgetown, on the scale of the problem and the latest initiatives to tackle it. From the lush greenery of its countryside, to its vibrant capital georgetown, its a place of beauty and colour. But below the surface, theres a darker under current. Underlying all of this is a cultural acceptance that suicide is part of guyana. Its notjust one thing that makes someone think that, you know what, im going to end my life. Every day my parents would have money and many of those things are contributed to it. And it was seeing her parents find it difficult to feed her family that led to lisas depression and trying to take her own life, at the age 01 14. Yeah, ifelt as though, you know, they were struggling a lot and i wanted to do more and to help them. I felt like if i was out of the equation, then things would be much better. Good morning. But lisa is here today because one teacher encouraged her to talk. She won miss guyana and used her platform to set up pora, prevention of teenage suicide. I would take back everything back. Lisa shares her story of how she became a singer and a model, its her way of inspiring young people. After the discussion, five School Children wanted to talk. About things that happen. Im always in school. I never, never like to let people know my feelings, i always smile. They all shared similar stories, of family members dying, absent parents and bullying at school. Some were so overwhelming, it was clear they needed support. Support that this school gives through its teachers, but here theyre still waiting for a counsellor, something the government has pledged. If youre so young and vulnerable at that age and no ones telling you that you can be something or you can make something of your life, i believe in you, then you feel worthless, and thats essentially what these kids are feeling. So whats the best theme . Mine one is, say it. Beverley cyrus is the head teacher at this school, she believes tackling issues at home are just as important as education. Some of them are living, like, in different homes at different periods of time. So most of them are not in a stable home. So you find various behaviours are coming out because what mum would encourage, grandmum wouldnt. She, like lisa, believes by nurturing the children to focus positively on the skills they do have, it will help to improve their Mental Health. The government is opening several specialist centres this year to address the fact the suicide rate among women is the highest in the world and for men the second highest. Suriname is two hours from the capital and is the region most affected. The hospital here says one of their main issues is the negative way in which suicide is commonly discussed. You hear it sitting in a car. Its discussed, its laughed at. Its like an everyday conversation. She called for other governmental bodies to play their part. As ive said, we cant stand alone, were a house, so we need all the pillars to ensure our people stand. The authorities are trying to find a way out, but it will take a cultural shift to change the conversation surrounding Mental Health to one that will change the tide in a positive direction.

Afterfour decades, bryan and linc said theyve always dont like a married couple but the law has never allowed them that privilege until now. Our family and friends have been very good and essentially accepted has all the way through but to have it legal and to know that society also acknowledges the relationship is special. They became a couple a week after they first met in 1974, when homosexuality was still illegal across australia. It took more than two decades for it to be decriminalising in every state, but the hardest battle for bryan and linc was persuading people that gay people could be in a long, lasting and loving relationship. I will love you forever, more especially if you keep providing that magic and healing food that has nourished me over the years. When life is so fragile, what else can you do but to offer love . Their wedding was planned injust a month. Once the new same sex marriage law was introduced they saw no reason to wait. By the Legal Authority invested into me by the commonwealth of australia, i can declare that after 44 years you are finally husband and husband, congratulations i think its good, the fact the countrys recognised this happens and its normal, apart from the marriage thing i think its a recognition and accepting, thats the biggest thing to me.

Churches can under the new law refuse to host a wedding. Last month, around 400 same sex couples have married under the new law. Both in their 70s, linc and bryan are among the oldest, so far at least. 55 years together, you might do this too . 55 years, yeah, maybe. Ill think about it. Who knows take your time, no rush.
