Few hours, he has been freed. Pennsylvanias Supreme Court today quashed his sexual Assault Conviction on the grounds that evidence given by five witnesses during his retrial should never have been admitted. Cosby, now 83, was one of the most high profile convictions of the early metoo movement. He was found guilty of drugging and molesting the Ex Basketball Player Andrea Constand in 200a. The Supreme Court was told that cosby� s lawyers had secured a deal with the former District Attorney in philadelphia that he would not be tried a second time because there was not enough evidence to present. Lets talk to vinoo varghese. Hes a former prosecutor and White Collar federal criminal Defence Attorney and joins us now from New York. Cani can i get your initial thoughts on the news we have been hearing the last couple of hours . I the news we have been hearing the last couple of hours . Last couple of hours . I have been coverin last couple of hours . I have been covering this last couple of hours . I have been covering this case last couple of hours . I have been covering this case is last couple of hours . I have been covering this case is a last couple of hours . I have been i covering this case is a commentator and i had predicted at the time there would be a good reason for reversal in this case. Interesting thing is the grounds on which they reversed, they to the point of having the deal that was already in place with the prior da for the basis of overturning and filling out the conviction. The other issue which i think was even a more major issue with the propriety of allowing all these other women to testify against cosby when he was being charged with one Sexual Assault. So the fairness of that will live for another day. In this in some sense was a negative decision for Harvey Weinstein because he has a very similar issue in his case, so talking to understanding that case, that issue was not decided by the biz of any Supreme Court. But getting to this decision, what it shows is it if the correct decision. There was a Deal Put in place that basically freed cosby to testify in a civil suit and that was used against him in his criminal case. Obviously something that may not be obvious to you guys but for us as criminal practitioners was patently unfair. We criminal practitioners was patently unfair. ~. ,. ,. , criminal practitioners was patently unfair. ,. ,. ,. ,. , unfair. We are going to hear later in the Programme unfair. We are going to hear later in the Programme from unfair. We are going to hear later in the Programme from mr unfair. We are going to hear later| in the Programme from Mr Coffee positive former Defence Lawyer who represented him in the second trial and he argued vociferously at the time that the five witnesses, the evidence that they gave should not have been admitted because they were not eyewitnesses to the allegation that was being made in the case. So it was a classic he said, she said case, but they did not have anything to add so vividly relating to the offence that he was being tried for. Thats correct. And he was correct. Thats correct. And he was correct. That lawyer is one of the most well known criminal lawyers in this country. And he raised those points and he raised them correctly. The best of any Supreme Court punted or decided not to take up that issue on this appeal. So which is why a common move by courts, they will rule on the most narrow issue and if they dont have to make a decision on one issue, they will not decide on one issue, they will not decide on another issue. So that issue is still going to be litigated not only embers of any but across the us after the propriety of prosecutors taking a more aggressive approach with these cases particularly because of cosby and because of Harvey Weinstein in trying to admit what they call prior bad Act Evidence that show a pattern or common scheme forcible what was weird about this was that this stuff was going back 30 years. And youre talking about people with a lot of issues with memory, different reasons for coming forward, and in The End even a guy like Bill Cosby did not get a fair trial in america. Interesting what you say about the timing of this prosecution. Where do you think this leaves some of these high pro product high profile prosecutions in the meat to movement .

Because the pits of any Supreme Court did not decide on movement . Because the pits of any| Supreme Court did not decide on the issue of whether it was proper or not to bring in all what is called uncharged crimes or other bad evidence, it is still going to be up to the different District Attorneys offices on where they go and how aggressive they are going to be. Last year, the Harvey Weinstein case, they were extremely aggressive in New York with bringing testimony from other victims who were not. Whose acts he was not charged for. That case is pending on appeal so it will be entering to see how the new York Courts will rule upon that. But in terms of other things, of the can till prosecutors are told by a High Court that they cannot do this, they are going to keep doing it and thats what prosecutors do because they want to win. And sometimes particularly in sex crimes cases, the rules of evidence get tossed out the rules of evidence get tossed out the window. The rules of evidence get tossed out the window the window. Very interesting applications the window. Very interesting applications than the window. Very interesting applications than for the window. Very interesting applications than for other i the window.

We dont have those pictures of the moment but we are expecting that he will come out and say something in if he does that, we will bring that to you. Over 200 people have died in canada in a heatwave that has no comparison with the temperatures on record. One of the coldest places on earth is currently one of the hottest. The heat is being trapped over Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest by a dome of High Pressure which acts like a saucepan lid. A new all time record of 49. 5 celsius, thatsjust over 121 fahrenheit, was set in the canadian Village Of Lytton in British Columbia on tuesday, where average temperatures are usually in the 20s. Portland in oregon further south, they recorded temperatures of 46 Degrees Celsius and more than 42 degrees in seattle. Tim muffet reports. In sweltering temperatures, help for the homeless in edmonton, alberta. Theres going to be a lot of people ending up in the hospital and being really, really sick from this, because they dont, some of them dont know how to look after themselves. Dozens of people have died in canada amidst this unprecedented heatwave. For the Third Day running, the country broke its Temperature Record yesterday. It reached 49. 5 celsius in British Columbia. Police in vancouver have responded to more than 130 sudden deaths since friday. Heat is thought to have been a contributing factor in most cases. We do get heatwaves from time to time every summer. The summers have been getting hotter. But, you know, its never this bad. Weve never experienced anything in the 405 in vancouver. Its the Western Parts of canada, as well as northWestern Parts of the united states, that are worst affected. At least a dozen deaths in oregon and Washington State are believed to be linked to the heatwave. A big dome of High Pressure has built across this part of north america, l trapping the air in place. That air has been sinking and warming, allowing temperatures to climb Day By day. This is not an uncommon situation in the summer, though. So, why have the temperatures been so high . Well, scientists suspect Climate Change has had a part to play. I for many, the sea is providing a temporary respite. Rivers more appealing than ever. But as well as people, many animals are struggling. So, pigs dont sweat, so we need to really make sure they have a lot of mud, its actually a natural sunscreen. Keeping cool is set to remain a considerable challenge over the next few days. Tim muffet, Bbc News.

So it certainly feels incredible to be a part of it because its notjust one location like you mentioned. Lytton hit 49. 6 but five of the locations have hit the 45 degrees threshold. This is so unprecedented, is having a lot of people shake their heads.

There is a Ripple Effect from this kind of heat present only affecting everybody who is under this Heat Dome on a personal physiological level, but you have to think about the ecology. The right now we are seeing extreme melt from our glaciers and the remaining snow from the past winter. We had many communities that are at threat of flooding for one. We also are seeing this have an effect on wildfire, immediate effect. Weve already seen some Pyro 0 A miss clouse as a result of human caused fires, and those are creating dry lightning and causing further fires. So those are creating dry lightning and causing furtherfires. So in those are creating dry lightning and causing further fires. So in 2017 and 2018 we had record breaking year as they did not get started in British Columbia until well into july.

And given that| you are there to provide advice to the canadian government, are they suddenly starting to think that the infrastructure they had built for the country needs to change . Because we are redefining normal now. I read stories this week that there are not many Air Conditioning units in places like lytton, so does the government have to now start thinking quite seriously about where they put money in how they change they put money in how they change the infrastructure in the country . I think absolutely. It is happening at the government federal level and also happening right down to the use of penalties. So i think that number from 40 of canadian households, of Bc Households with Air Conditioning to certificate lean more but also what does that mean for the Power Draw from Bc Hydro and we are hearing the same thing from alberta next door, that never has electrical demand being so high. So there is a huge Ripple Effect in terms of the infrastructure, the roads are buckling, peoples houses, its all across the board. The cities or having to offer cooling stations, misting stations, places giving libraries open with Air Conditioning people can get that overnight recovery at least for some hours during the day in order not to be feeling the effects of Heat Related Illnesses like Heat Exhaustion and eventually heat which is an Emergency Call to the ambulance and eventually sadly premature morbidity.

Still to come, the former us defense secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, has died at the age of 88. Well look back at his life. The education secretary, gavin williamson, has told mps its his priority to keep children in school and said he expects school bubbles to be abolished as part of step four of Englands Road Map for Lifting Covid restrictions. He said ministers are looking at the outcome of a daily Contact Testing Trial as an alternative to whole groups having to isolate. We are very clear that we want a sort of action to be taken, and that is why we very much want to see the lifting of more restrictions and the bubbles within schools as part of the next step. But as the honourable lady and yourself, mr speaker, will appreciate, this is a decision that has to be made across government as part of the next stage of our road map. But, of course, well be informing schools and keeping them up to date as to that progress in plenty of time before the start of the next term. We are still waiting to hear who won the democratic primary in the race for New York mayor. And it matters because whoever does win that race will surely become the mayor because New York is a democratic stronghold. But yesterday, the Citys Board of elections released a tally of votes that exceeded the number of votes actually cast. When that was pointed out by watching journalists and candidates, the published results were swiftly removed and replaced with a Statement. The board said it had failed to remove Sample Ballot images used to test its Voting Software and that the Programme had counted both Test And Election night results, producing approximately 135,000 additional records.

Well, its not going to go fast because you have to go back now and start the whole thing up with mexico and with the three countries. Its not going to go that quickly. Just look at the map of texas and thatis just look at the map of texas and that is where the governor has declared a state of emergency. Some of them they have had to revise because some counties were not told that they were actually part of this Emergency Procedure so some have gone out and some have gone and but the point is he is running for governor in 2022.

He is said who will build a wall and who will pay for it but it will be mexico so this is a political situation that should be bipartisan.

A republican who served under Gerald Ford and George W Bush he was involved in both decisions to invade afghanistan and later iraq. A Statement from his family said he died surrounded by his Loved Ones in taos, New Mexico and they praised his six decades of public service. Sarah campbell reports. Music. Donald rumsfeld served four president s over five decades. Charismatic and outspoken, he was a key architect of Americas Response to 9 11, the invasion of afghanistan and the war against iraq. A Navy Pilot in the 1950s, rumsfeld later became an illinois congressman. Richard nixon and Henry Kissinger admired his ruthlessness and gave him a job in cabinet. A strong Defence Posture gives weight to our values and our views in international negotiations. In 1975, Gerald Ford made him defense secretary, the youngest ever. Ronald reagan sent him to the middle east, where he met saddam hussein, the leader he would one Day Help to overthrow. Im submitting the name of Donald Rumsfeld to be secretary of defense. Nearly 20 years later, George W Bush reappointed him defense secretary. Within months, america came under attack. Rumsfeld was in his Pentagon Office on september 11, 2001 when an airliner hit the building. He helped move the injured and then planned a way to strike back. Rumsfeld believed the Iraq War would be over in months and the invasion would be vindicated. But the fierce insurrection that followed claimed thousands of lives. When no Weapons Of Mass Destruction were found, rumsfeld struggled to explain why. There are knowns knowns. There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. I that is to say there are things i that we now know we dont know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we dont know. He was prepared to push boundaries, including with the treatment of suspected terrorists, but when the photographs of the brutalisation of iraqi prisoners appeared, there was a backlash. The events occurred on my watch. I am accountable for them, i and i take full responsibility. But the scandal damaged him, and with his Iraq Strategy increasingly questioned, he resigned in 2006. Donald rumsfeld reshaped the us military and worked to apply its power overseas. He was a man never short of critics, but steadfast in his belief that he acted in americas best interests. Donald rumsfeld who has died at the age of 88. Ron, i have here a document you have forwarded to me called rumsfelds rules. Rules and reflections that came from my time with Gerald Ford and my service as white House Chief of staff. It is quite a document. Lots of advice for staffers in the White House.

The final rainfall Stats Forjune will be confirmed over the next day or two as more data comes in, but it has been a month of big contrasts across the south of england. Parts of sussex, hampshire, kent have seen more than twice the amount of rain that wed normally expect, but that is in sharp contrast to what has been a dryjune for much of the uk. Particularly so, though, for parts of scotland, Northern England and wales. There are a number of places that have seen around about a quarter of the amount of rain wed normally expect to see. Wednesday had big contrasts in weather as well. Cloud across eastern england bringing some patches of Light Rain and drizzle. Further west, wales and south West England having some lovely sunshine, but in the afternoon, we did see a few isolated showers build in across these areas, and weve also seen these patches of Rain Running into parts of East Anglia and parts of kent as well. Now, the rain is going to be clearing overnight tonight, so most areas will have a dry night with clear spells initially. Always rather cloudy across eastern coastal counties of england. Some cloud reforming across parts of wales as well, but its a relatively mild night. Temperatures quite widely around 10 13 degrees, a Bit Cooler than that for parts of Northern England and scotland. Now, for thursday, generally, i think theres going to be slightly greater chances of seeing breaks in the cloud and more in the way of sunshine to be spread around. The exception to that story, again, around some of these eastern areas of england where the cloud will be thick enough for an odd patch of rain. And again, well probably start to see a few Afternoon Showers build across wales and parts of southern england as well, but for most of the uk, were looking at drier weather with sunshine. 21 degrees in glasgow and 20 in belfast. Should feel warm enough with Light Winds and that fine sunshine around as well. Now, friday, broadly speaking, is a day of sunshine and showers. The sunniest weather coming through during the afternoon, but thats also when the Temperatures Rise and we start to see those showers and thunderstorms develop. Most of them will be across england and wales, but there will be big gaps between the showers. Therell be a lot of you that escape with a dry day, top temperatures around 23 celsius. This weekend, it looks unsettled, this area of low pressure pushing Weather Fronts across england and wales with further fronts following the second half of the weekend as well. Its not going to be raining all weekend, but it is a weekend that will see rain at times, some bright spells between, and temperatures just coming down a degree or two. Thats your latest weather. This is Bbc News with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. The former comedian Bill Cosby is been released from jail after pennyslvanias Supreme Court overturns his conviction for Sexual Assault. There are new plans for a Programme'>Booster Programme of Covid Vaccines across the uk the elderly will get priority for a third jab. Plus, theres a Hiring Crisis on both sides of the atlantic , but its not down to a shortage of available jobs. Well look at whats going on. Lets return to our top story, Bill Cosby� s convction for Sexual Assault has today been overturned. A little earlier i spoke to Thomas Mesereau formerly Bill Cosby� s Defence Attorney during his second trial when he was convicted, he also represented michaeljackson in his 2005 trial on charges of child molestation. He discussed the complaints to the judge during the trial. We argued extensively to the court that it was unfair, and we also argued that the prior District Attorney had entered into a Binding Agreement with Mr Cosby and his attorneys not to prosecute him and that the court should uphold that agreement and that he should not be prosecuted at all. Unfortunately, both arguments were denied. I realised very early in the trial that this was not going to be a fair trial, that the judge was extremely biased against Mr Cosby. So i brought on my Trial Team three lawyers, three lawyers skilled at Making Objections and supporting those objections with legal authorities, and on a daily basis, we made a record for appeal, fortunately, the strategy worked. The prosecution at the time said they brought these five people forward to show a pattern of behaviour. How did you rebut . Well, first of all, it showed no pattern at all. If you look into the specific facts of these accusations, they were all over the board. They were not indicative of a pattern at all. Some of them were 30 years ago when you cannot go back and look for evidence. He cant get forensic evidence you cant get witnesses. You cant get anything needed to defend yourself. In my opinion, it was all brought into court to prejudice the jury against Mr Cosby. Fortunately, the pennsylvania Supreme Court as a court with integrity, intelligence, courage and they did whats right. They vindicated our system. He should have never been prosecuted. Can you take us back to that agreement with the former da of philadelphia . On what basis was the deal made . The former da of this county, Montgomery County, concluded that he did not have enough evidence to prosecute Mr Cosby. He made an agreement that was binding not to prosecute him. In return, he asked Mr Cosby to defend a civil case, which Mr Cosby did not have to defend and didnt have to speak out in. Mr cosby in his attorneys relied on disagreement. They did participate in the civil case. That was resolved, and then the next District Attorney decided to scuttle the prior District Attorneys agreement and prosecute him. It was a travesty of justice. It was not becoming a prosecutor you know, prosecutors have a lot of power and influence, and they are held to a very high ethical standard, and this prosecution was below that ethical standard, and im glad the pennsylvania Supreme Court agreed with me and im glad theyve indicated Mr Cosby. Agreed with me and im glad theyve vindicated Mr Cosby. Mr cosby said he would never show any remorse, he would rather serve ten years, which was the maximum sentence he could be given. What did he say to you when he lost at trial . He was very disappointed. But he knew that was a set up to begin with. He knew what to being a black celebrity in america can mean when it comes to the justice system. He saw himself as, you know, a long line of historicalfigures who have been unjustly prosecuted because of race and celebrity. He decided he was going to grin and bear it and never compromise his values, and he never dead. Compromise his values, and he never did. What would you say, then, to those people, and we have had Prosecution Layers on the Bbc Tonight who are reticent to call him an innocent man, some would even call him morally guilty. What would you say to those people . He is an absolutely innocent man. He proclaimed his innocence from day one. He should have never had been prosecuted. He is innocent until proven guilty, and he has never been proven guilty of anything. Hes never been convicted of anything, he is a free man. He has the rights of every other american citizen and he had a right to Due Process which was denied him until he got before the pennsylvania Supreme Court which did the right thing. Its a great day for Mr Cosby and its a great day for the justice system. Bellicosity� s Defence Layer for the trial of 2018. The Roll Out of the Programme'>Vaccine Programme in the uk has been an Un Rivalled success. At Prime Ministers Questions Today Borisjohnson pointed out that the uk had now overtaken israel, in the percentage of people who have received a firstjab. But already attention is turning to an autumn Programme'>Booster Programme for those at highest risk. More than 30 Million of the most vulnerable should get a third dose. And that will include all adults aged 50 and over, and anyone younger who qualifies for a Flu Jab. Before we came on air i spoke to our medical editor fergus walsh. Top of the last, People Age 70 and over. Those who are immunocompromised, or clinically vulnerable. Top of the list. They will be in stage one, followed by all of those over 50 and anyone under 50, adults who are currently offered a Flu Vaccine. Its about 32 Million people, similarly nearly half of uk population. Million people, similarly nearly half of uk population. Right. But we know that It Half of uk population. Right. But we know that it is half of uk population. Right. But we know that it is absolutely know that it is absolutely necessary . Know that it is absolutely necessa . , ~ know that it is absolutely necessa . ,. ~. , necessary . Know, we dont. We know that getting necessary . Know, we dont. We know that getting two necessary . Know, we dont. We know that getting two doses necessary . Know, we dont. We know that getting two doses of necessary . Know, we dont. We know that getting two doses of vaccine that getting two doses of vaccine gives pretty strong, very strong protection from Severe Covid that last at least six months. The Direction Of Travel here, listening to ministers and talking to this committee, the jcb to ministers and talking to this committee, thejcb eye, they seem to be moving ever closer to saying, yes, we are definitely going to have a booster campaign, but you have got to plan it now. It might well be that in september, it, immunity, hasnt waned, there isnt any variance causing trouble, but that they dont plan for it now, they will be in trouble come september. So the idea is that you would probably get the Flu Jab in one arm and a third dose in the other. Lets and a third dose in the other. Lets exlore and a third dose in the other. Lets exolore that and a third dose in the other. Lets exolore that a and a third dose in the other. Lets explore that a bit and a third dose in the other. Lets explore that a bit further. And a third dose in the other. Lets explore that a bit further. Focusing on the Delta Variant at the moment, but there is something known as Delta Plus that they are looking at. Are they suggesting then that there could be further evolution into the Autumn And Winter that they would need to prepare for . Need to prepare for . There are definitely going need to prepare for . There are definitely going to need to prepare for . There are definitely going to be need to prepare for . There are definitely going to be new need to prepare for . There are definitely going to be new variants. They will keep coming along. The question is whether it will continue to evolve in a way that causes problems for the current vaccination Programme, and these vaccines, these jabs that people will be given will be the current vaccines. They wont likely be variant vaccines and are more likely to be the current doses. Now, the government here has ordered over 500 Million doses of eight different vaccines, only four of which are currently approved. It might well be that people are offered a different third davis to their first two doses, but we are waiting for their Trials. Their first two doses, but we are waiting for their Trials. Annex and match. I waiting for their Trials. Annex and match i mix waiting for their Trials. Annex and match. I mix and waiting for their Trials. Annex and match. I mix and match. Waiting for their Trials. Annex and match. I mix and match. We waiting for their Trials. Annex and match. I mix and match. We had| match. I mix and match. We had results that match. I mix and match. We had results that yesterday match. I mix and match. We had results that yesterday that results that yesterday that suggested that they gave a pretty good immune response and that might be favourable. Then there is, of course, an ethical dimension here, fewer than one in 100 people in low income countries has had access to even one dose, and you can see that, you know, we are nearly up to nine in ten adults in the uk, so there will be a question of whether it is morally correct to be doing this booster campaign, but the government will point out it is going to be donating 100 Million doses of vaccine from a 30 Million by The End of the year, and put money into the development of the oxford astrazeneca vaccine, which is the number one used vaccine in low and middle income countries. It is already doing a lot. That middle income countries. It is already doing a lot. Middle income countries. It is already doing a lot. At the outset, ou already doing a lot. At the outset, you mentioned already doing a lot. At the outset, you mentioned that already doing a lot. At the outset, you mentioned that this already doing a lot. At the outset, you mentioned that this year, already doing a lot. At the outset, you mentioned that this year, the | you mentioned that this year, the Flu Vaccine would be critical. Is that because a lot of people have been wearing masks close mac and could be have a situation where people go into their surgeries, maybe have their Flu Jab and one arm and a booster in another . And a booster in another . Thats exactly how and a booster in another . Thats exactly how it and a booster in another . Thats exactly how it would and a booster in another . Thats exactly how it would be and a booster in another . Thats exactly how it would be done. I i exactly how it would be done. I think the Flu Jab this year could actually be more important than a third booster dose. I mean, its really vital that people get their Flu Jab. If you get one like i do every year, its vital that you get it, because we did not have almost any flu at all last winter because people were not mixing. Other nasty viruses knocking around i could see a resurgence i think gps and hospitals can be very busy there without other respiratory illnesses, and i think that flu well be a very important flu campaign, it is a very unpredictable virus, but we could have a bad sleuth flu season, and in a bad flu season, you could have potentially thousands of deaths as a result of flu. Irate potentially thousands of deaths as a result of Flu Result of flu. We also have this Ruestion Result of flu. We also have this Question Hanging result of flu. We also have this Question Hanging over result of flu. We also have this Question Hanging over us result of flu. We also have this | Question Hanging over us about adolescence and by that they both get vaccinated. Is there going to be the supply to meet the demand . There should be. I mean, the supply to meet the demand . There should be. I mean, thats the supply to meet the demand . Tues should be. I mean, thats that bit of the jigsaw. Well 12 to 17 year olds be offered a vaccine for two that dilemma there for the same body, thejoint committee, Fred Van is adolescence dont really need the Covid Vaccine for their health because they are thankfully very, very unlikely to be seriously l as a result of covid, but it is causing Havocin Result of covid, but it is causing havoc in schools. So it could really help bear down on school outbreaks. We will quickly come out of that interview because i want to take you straight to pennsylvania to Elkins Park in Montgomery County.

There you go, thus pictures coming in from Montgomery County Montgomery County. A further 4 bodies have been found in the ruins of the collapsed building in miami, which brings the total number of dead to 16. But nearly a week after the building fell, more than 150 people are still missing. Rescue teams say this is still a Search And Rescue operation as they continue to claw by hand through the rubble for any survivors. We can speak to Surfsides Vice Mayor Tina Paul who has been highly visible around that site through the week. Vice mayor, i watched an interview Last Night with the Fire Captain which was hard to watch, actually, he was almost in tears. The futility of it all, emotionally draining for his team, physically exhausting. You must be full of admiration for them. I certainly am. The fire department, the miami county, everybody has stepped in, we have that team from mexico and the israeli Search And Rescue team. There is another team that will be joining an. The Rescue Effort is amazing. Last night, we where getting special id tags, and when i left the building, there were several firefighters laying on the ground to rest, and i looked over at them with a sigh, and one of them looked up at me and i waved to him and he waved back. Ive spoken with some of the rescue workers. I was leaving the Press Area and i had seen a Fire Worker walking away by himself and he just left so, the look in his eyes, he was so tired. So i went over to him and i shook his hand and i said thank you. I cannot thank everyone enough between my town staff, my fellow commissioners, the mayor, we have 30 for municipalities, other municipalities have stepped in and offered services. While the police departments. Its a collaborative effort, and it is admirable. Everyone is working so hard and we have all been, we have not really slept much since this happened. This is our town. Slept much since this happened. This is our town is our town. What they want is that miracle. Is our town. What they want is that miracle we is our town. What they want is that miracle. We all is our town. What they want is that miracle. We all pray is our town. What they want is that miracle. We all pray for is our town. What they want is that miracle. We all pray for that is our town. What they want is that miracle. We all pray for that near l miracle. We all pray for that near call. Why do you think it is proving so hard to find the victims . Weill. So hard to find the victims . Well, there is a lot so hard to find the victims . Well, there is a lot of so hard to find the victims . Well, there is a lot of factors so hard to find the victims . Well, there is a lot of factors because l there is a lot of factors because there is a lot of factors because the building is very collapsed, and its delicates because if we want to find the survivors, they cannot bring into much equipment or move things too much. The weather has not cooperated with us. We have had severe rain. Last night and i was leaving the area, there was a lightning strike warning, so the work had to stop because we also have to consider the safety of the workers, we also have a structure thatis workers, we also have a structure that is still standing that is considered somewhat unsafe, so its delicates. Its not known whether the wreckage is supporting the structure that is still remaining. The vulnerabilities are incredible, and there are so many vascular and we cannotjeopardise their lives. They are rescue dogs, two sets of docs, ones that are searching for life and ones that are searching for the dead. So we are just so hopeful. We are not giving up. We want everybody found, no matter what condition, we need to find everybody, everybody has to be accounted for. Everybody, everybody has to be accounted for. President biden is cominu accounted for. President biden is coming tomorrow, accounted for. President biden is coming tomorrow, which accounted for. President biden is coming tomorrow, which i accounted for.

Ifeel that, ill have to ask him specifically. I feel that our goals are very much aligned. Im an environmentalist maritime house tried to be a leader in the Environment And Infrastructure is really what is key, because this is an infrastructure issue, but its behind that, it has to do with agencies and how the agencies handle things because there has got to be a lot of reform. Im also a Condo Dweller among the condo board, i am the president , and it is true, some of times the information reaches the board, but it doesnt reach the residents, some are change needs to be made. If you are having an assessment, as these residents have had, they have a right to see the report so they know what they are paying for, and. The report so they know what they are paying for, and.

The problem here was. The problem here paying for, and. The problem here was. The problem here was paying for, and. The problem here was. The problem here was the i was. The problem here was the astronomical cost for the repairs. Apparently, the residents were discussing this around the pool last weekend whether some of them were going to take the loans out. I mean, will the investigation focused on why it took so long for those repairs to be costed and whether the cost of that repair have been inflated two cost of that repair have been inflated Tw Cost of that repair have been inflated tw~ ~ inflated two well, i think the the investigation inflated two well, i think the the investigation goes inflated two well, i think the the investigation goes on inflated two well, i think the l the investigation goes on beyond inflated two well, i think the the investigation goes on beyond The End the the building, because the deterioration of the building would cause that must destruction, and i believe there are more elements. I have been receiving information from various groups and forwarding the relevant information to our Investigation Team so that they can analyse that. They are analysing that Title Pay balls because it was a Full Moon that night, it was a strawberry Full Moon, and there was also a construction going that had massive construction that occurred next to that building, so there are many things to consider than just a poor maintenance of the building, but that is a key issue the other condos in general as that you know, we need to have my review of the condo buildings, the state and the cities need to step in and have more regulation because currently, the way it is regulated is not enough. Like i said, i am a Condo Dweller. To all the Condo Dweller know the history of your building. If you have been there a long time, then you know that the level of the Air Maintenance their building is receiving, and that is something that needs to be on top of. I am confident that the level of maintenance my building has received. Clearly this building was neglected, inasmuch as the residents try to get something done, somehow it fell through the cracks. You see, in a building, you would reports the problems to Management Committee would necessarily go to the city, but if you bring into the citys attention, we do have to address that. We do our best to do that. Vice mayor, thank you very much for Coming On the Programme. I know its a busy time. Please do get our thoughts and best wishes to everybody on the site.

Europe and the united states adopted very different approaches to the pandemic when it came to supporting the Labour Market but as their economies re open they appear to be experiencing very similar Problems Worker shortages, a growing number of unfilled vacancies, and Wage Pressures in some key sectors. In the us , there are Ten Million people unemployed and Nine Million open positions. So whats going on . . There has been some interesting reseach produced toDay By the Employment Website indeed, . Which suggests that only 10 ofJob Seekers are actively looking for work.

Its got a lot of people wondering about why it is that people arent getting back into the work for us, there has been a lot of anecdotal discussions about this, but what is interesting about this particular survey is that its actually putting some number is into why these Job Seekers are not actually seeking any of those available jobs. Now, if you look at the numbers, we are seeing that 25 of these workers are still really worried about Contracting Co. Bed, and they are really waiting to see that the Vaccination Numbers are much higher than they are right now. 20 have said that they have a financial cushion, so they are able to stay out of the work for us. 20 and i think this is really important, say they still have childcare issues. That has been a very big problem in america, particularly one that has been falling disproportionately on when and that are in the work for us, dealing with remote School Learning or evenjust us, dealing with remote School Learning or even just general childcare, that without any of those options, it is hard to actually go into the workforce.

Hello there. The final Stats Forjune will be finalised over the next day or two, but its certainly been a month of contrasts really. Across the south of england, its been very wet, particularly across parts of sussex, hampshire, kent. Some areas have seen over twice the amount of rain wed would normally expect during june, but really thats in contrast to the weather elsewhere across the uk where its been a largely dry month, particularly so for parts of scotland, wales and Northern England. Some places having just a quarter of the amount of rainfall wed normally expect to see. Now on wednesday we had some big contrasts in weather. Western areas had some sunshine, wales and the South West, but there were a few showers that popped up through the afternoon, whereas across eastern england, a lot of cloud and thats been bringing outbreaks of Light Rain and drizzle. On into thursdays forecast, though, actually, for most of the uk, were looking at dry weather with probably a little bit more in the way of sunshine to be shared around, and in the sunshine, its going to feel warm, the winds will stay light. Now there could be one or two showers popping up again across wales and southern england and the cloud perhaps thick enough again to bring an odd spit of rain in towards eastern areas of england. In the sunshine, though, were looking at temperatures widely into the low 20s. 20 to 23 degrees, a Bit Cooler around those North Sea coasts. Now through Thursday Evening and overnight, it tends to turn a bit cloudier, maybe a few mist patches developing as well. Its going to be a relatively mild night, temperatures around 10 to 14 degrees, so a mild start to the day on friday and not a bad kind of day. The cloud will tend to thin and break up. Well see increasing amounts of sunshine coming through, particularly through the afternoon, but as Temperatures Rise, were likely to see some showers starting to develop, particularly across areas of england and wales. An isolated thunderstorm is possible, but there will be some big gaps between the showers, so most of you, i think, will probably stay dry with some sunshine around. Temperatures 20 to 23 degrees fairly widely. About 19 in aberdeen, so relatively warm here as well. Now, for the weekend, low pressure is going to be moving in off the atlantic with Weather Fronts pushing into england and wales. There will be further fronts then working in from the South West through the second half of the weekend as well. So, saturday its quite unsettled, really. Weve got some Rain Moving in across england and wales. It wont be raining all weekend there will be some gaps between these bands of rain. Scotland and northern ireland, maybe a few showers here, some sunny spells. Temperatures still into the low 20s, but generally coming down by a degree or two. The second half of the weekend, well, its another unsettled one with showers or longer spells of Rain Moving in from the South West. So the wettest weather is always likely to be again across england and wales. The areas that will have the least heavy showers, probably across the North And East of scotland, but, as you can see from this chart, no one is immune from seeing a downpour. Temperatures in between the showers in the brighter moments, still reaching the low 20s, a little bit on the Cool Side for the time of year, but again probably not feeling too bad with the sunshine popping out. Next week, the Jet Stream takes this path through the south of the uk. Notice there are these troughs working in as well. These troughs are capable of developing areas of low pressure that will be generally towards our South West, but exactly the track of those lows will determine just how wet next week ends up being. But its certainly going to be unsettled. Were looking at showers or some longer spells of rain. Notice the temperatures still generally into the high teens, low � 20s, so still a little bit below par for the time of year, but, again, in those brighter moments, it shouldnt feel too bad. Thats your latest weather. Bye for now. Im Laura Trevelyan in washington and this is bbc world news america.
