Japan remembers the worlds 1st atomic bombs 75 years ago and at this time there are extra precautions. Welcome to the program lebanons appealing for International Help after it was left devastated by a huge explosion a humanitarian crisis is developing 2 days after the blast shredded the heart of its capital city beirut it destroyed the citys poor and more than half of the countrys Food Supplies come through there its top medical equipment was among the items lost in the explosion now a number of countries have already sent help including food fuel mobile hospitals and medics among them france hes president and also arrived in beirut earlier. That really does see the today the priority is aid to support the people without conditions but france has been warning for many months and years that the conditions here demand reform and Energy Public markets to fight against corruption and of reforms are not made in lebanon will continue to suffer and information that officials knew volatile material was stored in the port for years is fueling more resentment against an already unpopular government some ports officials are under house arrest well said assad is in beirut with an update on relief efforts. We saw families theyve been waiting since monday night for use about their loved ones dozens of people remain missing many of them employees at beirut port the site of those massive explosions they were telling us its not enough that these the authorities were that diligent enough to keep highly explosive material at the ports but the search operation is just so slow but we managed to talk to red cross workers in the Lebanese Army and theyre telling us that the destruction its just very very difficult because lebanon does not have the equipment and now rescue teams from abroad are coming to help in the search operation but there is little hope that they are going to find more people alive over 100 people dead and thousands injured many of them still in Critical Condition one woman said i dont know if ill ever see my husband again he was a daily wage earner barely earning 2. 00 a day and now she has nobody left to help her feed her 3 children so there is anger at a government that has not stepped in at a time of crisis and this anger like you mentioned is not new levanon as in the midst of an antiestablishment protest movement which has tried for months to unseat the Political Class that has been ruling this country for decades france is offering unconditional support to help those in need to help this country cope with this disaster but at the same time france have to. Power it wields influence in lebanon at the french president s visit just less than 2 weeks since his foreign minister was here and his foreign minister told the lebanese politicians youre not going to get billions of dollars in an aid to be able to kick start the economy unless you carry out reforms unless you fix corruption in the state institutions including a beirut ports at the International Community long talked about the need for reforms at bayview courts where theres a lot of tax evasion and and the corruption is is endemic so across said is that reiterated conditions laid by the International Community no bailouts without reforms being carried out.

We started going by that and everybody was quoting us to see if they where already hes at home and. We didnt get the connection with the bin and nobody told us anything about him only. Started searching the hospital and if someone you send they saw him or they think hes a man theres something going corning and we can now and nobody can give us anything about what they did in big when we called them that my father is where he is and was please we are 7 were at the. Job we think they are proud to be and we call and then we have made and then. The day morning we got there and removed and. They told us that my they are digging live my that its i dont know why only is happening i think its much bigger than me or any specific he i think its something with the government or some Political Party we dont do you know but i do think in that mind that im. Innocent they do not deserve this they did none of this mess that that that you and all of the families all of the look is gone and some people are going to have a house now and people out on the streets we dont deserve this we have to stand and i think it should be we deserve better than this. In other news vote counting is underway in sri lankas parliamentary election which was delayed twice because of covert 19 these 3 lankan peoples front party led by the rajapaksa brothers who serve as president and Prime Minister are expected to win a majority this was south asias 1st major vote during the pandemic which had been forced to delay for over 4 months rudd. Is a former m. P. And state minister he says the constitutional changes were done badly and created a mess. I dont think there were 70. 00 that. B. P. Thats a party of. Would remember dorothy i think the only question is would they get a 2 thirds majority which would enable them to change the constitution because im quite interested i think theyre going to be tool for the electorate that have voted that the results have come out but thus far so i bought some of the Southern Gold districts. In the town as one would expect in the urban area as b. P. Has won but with only just under 60 percent whereas in the more ruinated they go to with 72. 00 and i suspect thats a pattern to see throughout that rule of 3 lanka will vote overwhelmingly for their side of the probably giving it a 2 thirds majority if you want to come to the ruling that correct but of course our system is such that you vote by districts so it is still uncertain with them to the majority i think everyone has agreed that the 19th amendment was a total mess. Because someone who voted for it but i do have the distinction of having proposed 20 amendments to it which was shouted down because you know people not to be in the principles i think its essential that you now have a die ask. The Supreme Court actually said you couldnt have a diet that didnt directly elect the president must be the leader of the country and you wouldnt be thats on the run is a common saying whos been smashed in this election deservedly tried to smuggle in provisions to make him the equivalent of the of the president which led to chaos and i think 5 this from 2000. 22002900 was such a mess you can see exactly why this has been doing so well. The u. N. And International Agencies are calling on the world to step in if india doesnt address the deteriorating human rights situation in indian administered kashmir its been a year since new delhi strip the disputed Region Special status asama binge of it has more. Communities on the pakistani side of the disputed region are protesting the Indian Governments communications blockade has separated them from family in indian administered kashmir new delhi revoked its autonomy last year effectively an extinct part of the territory and. We want to convey the message to the International Community that we will continue to stand in solidarity against the violence the rape and the arrests of kashmiris until our land is free of occupation. On the other side of the line of control in the hindu minority in jammu and kashmir have been celebrating the anniversary. Of the 5th is the day when the wall of hatred namely article 370 the dividing kashmir from india was brought down and now residents of kashmir are probably calling themselves indian citizens earlier also there were indian citizens somewhere the sentiment of separatism was being fanned the slogans of self totally freedom thats over in the years since india made that decision it has imposed a lockdown cut off all modes of communication and its forces everest at several political leaders and young men. Amnesty International Says the entire population of kashmir has been deprived of its right to freedom of expression and opinion through protected communication restrictions its calling on the Indian Government to immediately release all political leaders journalists and activists from administrative detention restore 4 g. Mobile internet the congested prisons and launch a prompt and independent investigation into the attacks on journalists Indian Officials say a curfew thats been imposed is essential to maintain security in the region. And human rights activists see it as a violation of Indias International obligations more than 800000 indian soldiers are stationed in the picturesque valley nestled in the himalayas. There have been offers to mediate by the un secretarygeneral and the us president but the government of their in their more d. Has rejected 3rd Party Mediation on kashmir by cosign insists the kashmir conflict needs to be resolved under International Supervision according to Un Security Council resolutions. I think modi made a strategic blunder the United Nations discussed the issue thrice during the last year for the 1st time since 965. 00 it also published a report on human rights abuses in occupied kashmir pakistanis observed a one minute silence the military released a song and local officials in pakistan administered kashmir and build a replica of stream appears red square. But unless the 2 countries engage in meaningful discussion families will continue to live on either side of the disputed border. With their own a leader from indias governing party the b j p has been shot dead in indian administered kashmir. With a candidate who was killed by a gunman in the village of district another leader from the party was injured in the attorney in same area on wednesday. Still had him allowed to serve. I dont see where. I feel worried about stuff on. The run to his millions of facing eviction in the us up to corona virus safeguards come to an end. And find out why a canadian town star has been sent to prison in me above for holding 8 wounded just 3 stay with us here just over. There the rain is relentless across Northern Areas of northeast asia see plenty of cloud again in the last year as all of this is tied to the seasonal rains and the not really moving at all of the next few days the flood waters of course very slow to recede this is in northern south korea and you can just see how deep the floodwaters are people being rescued of course once the floodwaters actually begin to recede this is the mass that is left behind now there is more rain in the fall calls and yet again it is likely to be very heavy you can see these areas yellow and doppler this is actually 3 will central and southern areas of south korea because we have had flooding here as well of the last a week or 2 and theres rain still across the small central northern as the china to the south of there its nice and fine but that system really is quite vigorous continuing through saturday and eventually pushing some of this rain into Northern Areas over japan 34 in tokyo and a mostly case guys 26 in seoul with some fairly persistent rain and by the end of this period could be seeing as much as 400. 00 millimeters in the central areas of south korea and heavy rain as well across much of south asia plenty of cloud showing you where the heavy rains have been of the last few hours the really heavy downpours through friday moving actually offshore but look at this it is the town of pakistan to see the heavy amounts of rain and again of the next couple days it could pick up about 140000000 he says. Where there is water there is life but finding it on australias arid deserts is a skill few still possess they took us to a small wet spot in the in the desert and this was this is a very important place theyve been telling us about for the last 5 days who clean air. And organise against all odds an aging population is passing on its knowledge the rainmakers of the outback on a jersey and on. My. Way you know on.

Twitter has temporarily restricted president Donald Trumps Campaign Team from tweeting it was in response to a video of a fox news and tea with trump where he made false claims about cave at 19. Links to the tweet now arrive at this page twitter says the post violated its rules on covert 19 misinformation and the owner must remove it before they can tweet again the campaign appears to have complied i was earlier facebook removed the same video from President Trumps main page it was the 1st time the facebook removed one of trumps videos like color has more from washington d. C. Well President Trump stated in that interview phone interview with Fox Television that children are almost immune from. 19 or virtually immune he said as well at a different stage now this is clearly and patently false the centers for Disease Research research the c. D. C. Says that quarter of a 1000000 children have contracted to corona virus and at least 6 have actually died of acute inflammatory situation stemming directly from coburg so this is clearly incorrect but what has got to be looked at as well as the context that President Trump has used this phrase virtually immune he has done it before in public on a number of occasions and the context is his absolute insistence that schools must open in the u. S. In their entirety he does not want Virtual Education he wants all the classes to open at the beginning of the new school year because he argues the economy cannot provide and this children are back in school freeing their parents to go to work so this is the context of these repeated false swords being made by President Trump with regard to children and covert 19.
