and i couldn't be prouder doors here and do everything we can get you through this election and, and so the on loves the a final salutes warner's pay tribute to vietnam's long time communist party leader, [000:00:00;00] the hello the parents olympics opening ceremony begins in just 3 and a half hours, while france races to repair its high speed train network. the government says it could take days to return to normal after critical railway infrastructure was sabotaged at several important sites. you can see the maintenance teams in the life picture their feet working to fix the affected areas and the main rail operator, the s and c. s, says 800000 travelers could be effected. so here's what happens. how about 4 am on friday?

the network systems detected problems in the north and the east of the country. as well as the south west of paris. there were attempts to damage infrastructure, south east of the capital, but railway staff intervenes, copper cables were cuts that are used for signaling and fires. restarted. bernard smith has more it's impossible to fully secure thousands of kilometers a french railway lines. a weakness exposed by these attacks on crucial signaling equipment. this is cause the northern france when the full locations targeted with fires was set and cables caught some time on thursday night. it's a friday morning, april the high speed rail network to a halt across most of the country, multiple different civil there. today, all the information we have clearly shows that it was deliberate. the simultaneous nature vans were found from which people had fled, particularly in the southeast as incendiary agents were found on the side.

everything now points to the fact that these were awesome attacks, particularly the timing, which is more than a suspicious calls. the travel plans of more than 800000 royal passengers up in sabotaged lines, connecting powers to cities in the north east west. i'm the united kingdom had been effected. old travelers had been advised to postpone that journeys. what's the declared value? yeah, yeah. we definitely, we have prepared ourselves. there are a lot of people in coal for lengthy canes, but honestly, we've thought that was multi to being on the lines effected by the me be games and normal breakdowns. we didn't think we would have to mobilize, but obviously we're going to repair already underway. but the rail network is expected to be severely disrupted, at least until the end of the weekend. hey, the crippling of the railways is being said as a clear attempt to overshadow, installed to be able to change. there is unprecedented security. would you rather talk to the trains, pound of ability, unexplored students?

and i'll just and will speak to bernard once again. so bernadette opening ceremony is just 3 and a half hours away. what are we expecting now? to read 8700000 olympic tickets sold by so fast. 16000000 visitors expected in power became age upfront. this hour is it steak not home present to manual matter? on a sudden it begins without opening ceremony. first time one's ever been held outside of a stadium opening along 6 kilometers of the river, set up fleets and organize on bodies going along the river. it's been a mustard security headache apart from anything else. drange check buildings checked old areas across the balance of the same seal. there is a hope and they've done everything. they come out to keep everything safe, 100 dignitary some across the road will lead as expected, along with about 300000 spectators as well as i'm hoping as well to the rain holds on to an macro himself is called for an olympic truce. bernard,

but there doesn't really seem to be any sign of that. does. there is one debit games taking place across the very tub in global backdrop, not least because of where the voice mails know in gaza on the wall and you credit back on calls. it is a live truth to do that with the shooting thing, the chinese leader. and he was in earlier this year in the u. n. c u n. as also put out a, an appeal passed the resolution pulling for truth. but the reason, the reason why i'm really the war and gaus continues is relatable that continues on the war and ukraine continues. um is actually optimizations of double standards, basically from the coming from the global south because of russia and batteries not allowed to have operates represented here at the olympics because of the war and ukraine. but his route is a, it is rarely operates at the palestinian olympic committee. it's that they should be found like russian batteries because of that war. and gosh, so thank you, bernard. thanks for that update from paris of

a 40 year old russian man is under investigation in connection with an electorate attempt to disrupt the paras olympics, and he was taken into custody on wednesday. you'll get supple, volleyball has more from moscow. it's not clear what exactly he had been a rest set, but i'll just say well before the day's opening ceremony in paris and just so to analyze his profile on this case, actually say that it seems to be, well, he seems to be a very in agents and we've also heard from kremlin the quotes, customs which are best corporate saying the criminal does not have that information about the detention of dance russian national in congress. all they actually nurse they, they, they've seen those media reports about his arrest. so basically you understand that uh, did you change mind? uh, his name is curio. reeves. nov is a full table, russian national. he was born in the city of paris. he enjoyed some sort of glamorous lifestyle and works as

a chef in paris and the number of french results. it was a calling to re blog as well and uh, back in may who was supposed to go to paris with a transfer and to a key that he got. so drunk that it symbol it was not allowed to go to play and it was blacklisted. that done grass no drug to go guerria by call way. he can go drunk again and started telling random people that he was going to the parents on the sick transmission. so and lays her closing on. that's her. rest of the kids were as know of the power as plus the cases office said that they had phones, evidence indicating that he had been a member of the russian special services and uh, uh, grabs no was charged with espionage of the french government has promised an unprecedented security operation deploying as many as 45000 personnel, and they include 15000 french military members, 250 british officers,

fish. they specially trained dogs and a 1750 police from countries like spain, germany, south korea and cats are. so the opening ceremony along the 6 kilometers stress of a son river will showcase 10 and a half 1000 athletes representing $206.00 national olympic committees. more than $320000.00 fans are expected to watch from the river banks, but access to central paris will be restricted. sally, it leaves me as an advisor to companies on governments, on security, on public protection. she says it's possible the attacks were carried out by foreign actors as it looks like a military coordinated attack backed by a powerful mathematics that about data. so i've certain few key points to bring the high speed route to a halt. it's used mechanical us and attacks to ensure that the damage handled

the repaired quickly and moist probably with the pass. and that's been seen before . local criminals have been employed to do this service deniability for a hostile stage act. since 2023, the french government and the french military and intelligence services have been all, identify a very deliberate what they call hybrid will say, which means a number of disruptive types attacks against the international olympics committee and against the french government. so the people would be deterred from going to the olympics. and we've also seen the examples of the artificial intelligence enabled, frightening talks, videos and, and messages. and this is just a continuation of the warning to people that they can be disrupted. it's, it's, however it's, it's filed because the, the roadway is the very tough targets. and what you've seen isn't actually kyle's each row wise,

going into what they call degraded alterations. they're going on to slower lines. and it means services are still running over yet. many will be canceled. the at least 18 palestinians have been killed in israel's unrelenting assaults on southern gaza. these are the army has been carrying out attacks and con eunice ha says it's fighters of target. it is really military vehicles using explosives like rocket propelled grenades, thousands of displaced people have been forced to flee, find you and ask for the so called safe stone of out of milwaukee. but the palestine red crescent society says that there is no space. pensive for that he has this update from dated by law in central garza, the situation is escalating every single minutes, but it's not only bob the airstrikes we're talking about people that have been trapped for 6 days now. drop without any food,

without any walk through without any medicine, without anything, no one could reach them. they could not appease any one and they could not communicate with anyone. even if someone of these policies in the are trapped in the school or in the house. um are insured, no one could reach them. some of the people were trapped in their houses and some are trapped in new and schools. and this is because it's really forces. it's not give them time to evacuate when they threw the least flats on the, on the 1st day of this ground. and they didn't know the people who manage to evacuate our lives here. these concert on the streets, they did not have time to take any of their belongings. they did not have time to even find another shelter because the is there any forces started selling as soon as they threw these leaflets? but the situation is, escalating in a fun, eunice from all sides of all aspects is not only airstrikes that people are suffering from. it's the heat, it's the diseases,

it's the suicide. it's the garbage stuff is everywhere. and people know, are suffocating from the fact that there is no housing, kids or no shampoos or soaps. and we have been seeing children and, and people with the ras on their skin. and there has been no medicine so polished indians are desperate from all aspects of life. it's not only the air strikes, it's not only being trapped, it's not only being displaced more than one time. every palestinian has his own struggle right now in the gaza strip, and it's not only air strikes in units, but there's also ongoing airstrikes in brooklyn, where a policy new charge was killed. there has been also ongoing airstrikes in a, the, another in parts of the city and the god, the city. so we're talking about our talks in this print and several types of

attacks on all over across the goals district. we're taking your life to the united nations dots, the security council holding an open meeting about the worst thing to monetary and situation in gaza. that discussion was called by russia. china and algeria on your screen is right there is antonio de mayo from warner. while that's the united nations relief and works agency for palestine refugees, and she's speaking, let's listen in increasing the monetary supplies and commercial businesses off to protect the mandate of the including within the framework of the transition. i'm most could you provide services until a political solution that have there is no credible alternative to on her in gaza and across the region. we need political and financial support. no more than ever to continue our vital task of survey. what are the wells fargo use using the world?

and we hope this council will speak out loud noise against the task legislative or otherwise on the ages. a 3rd and finally. so that's a peaceful solution. so there's a 7 day long. that's a long war and god as versus the we j g, a peaceful solution. the bell city is and it's raised together by our share of humanity. he'll learn to live site and nice size and peace and security solution must also as well last branded as to the place of palestine. refugees, fancy, was dependent you're able to do that. it was probably gmail z o briefing has just been on it as well. okay. so we just caught the tail end of that, but what was going on there was, uh that was the deputy commissioner general if owner was antonio de mayo, a speaking to the security council christmas and new me is joining us now from the united nations. of course, and as we're saying, i mean this discussion was called by a russia, china,

and algeria they're meant to be talking about the dire humanitarian situation and gaza. the just seems to be getting worse. just tell us what you've heard so far. absolutely. we heard an update about the difficulties facing the people of guys that particularly in the area of con eunice, where attacks have continued and people have been trapped unable to evacuate areas where they were ordered to flee from in recent days and hearing from the deputy commissioner of unreal about the struggles to provide aid and an area that she described as complete lawlessness. i think it's worth pointing out that this meeting was called, as is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in the united states. he was appeared before congress this week. today he is scheduled to talk to donald trump, the former president at his state in florida. and i spoke to some council members

on the way into the meeting, including the chinese and bassett are one of the countries that called for this meeting about why now why today given the humanitarian situation, he said it was very important to keep the focus on the plate of the people in gaza in what they are facing and also to keep the pressure he said on the israelis and the united states, it's a israel's strongest, a most powerful ally in the counsel to focus on getting a ceasefire and more aide in to gaza. we know also that the funding for on right is very low, not what they say they need and access to the people is very difficult. so this is the international community coming together to try to improve that situation. yeah, and uh, kristen, i'll just, i'll stick with you for one more question. and so just

a moment ago, the, the owner of deputy commissioner also said that she's asking for us that says choose persisting rather in securing a ceasefire in gaza. and she asked for the protection of the owner was mandates as well as a peaceful solution to the decades long conflicts on the point she makes about protecting owner was mandates. health invited is the international community on that, particularly when we seem countries pull funding from our are absolutely in the united states, in particular, the biggest donor to the palestinian situation at the united nations taking its funding from on run and looking for other sources in other places to put it has been a big problem for the united nations. given that on right is the organization with the most reach and the most capacity to help people in gaza. so that

remains a problem. also, a problem that the secretary general spoke about just yesterday is the fact that aid workers continue to be attacked in gaza in the beginning of the week. 3 days in a row, a convoys were shot at came under fire despite, as we just heard from the deputy commissioner, alerting the israeli authorities of their movements and their whereabouts. one of these cars had 5 children and it, it was a unicef vehicle that was supposed to be reuniting children with family. it came under fire and was unable to do that. this as the united nations will point out time. it again is a violation of international law. so regarding on rose power in the region certainly is addressing the humanitarian situation on the ground is

a challenge to say the least and not reaching its full potential without support for on route. but nonetheless, we just heard that on right is continuing to move forward with just basic data day needs that people have trying to re establish schools for the coming school year, despite all of the destruction and debt that we are seeing on. right. maintaining that if children are given some hope and some education, that bitterness and anger and division in the occupied territories will only be harder to overcome going forward. all right, thank you so much chris, and thanks for that reporting from you and and how much leader in the occupied westbank has died and is really custody. and the palestinian prisoners clubs says most the far bought it died in and is really hospital. he'd been transferred there from raymond prison because of deteriorating health. the 63 year old was being held under administrative detention. many as having the studio,

i'm going to have to cut the way out of the full responsibility lies on those have arrested him and us medical history and health history. he's a sick prisoner who suffers for many health problems with blood platelets, and enzymes. it's considered an execution in mind of the sick prisoner with the risk without providing him with the necessary medical services and without providing him with food that suits his health conditions. the united kingdom will no longer try to stop the international criminal court issuing arrest warrants for is really leaders. the former conservative governments had been considering legal options and that was after the ice. stacy's decision to apply for arrest warrants for benjamin netanyahu. and the is really defense minister you underlines the icbc prosecutor kareem khan sort warrants for a legend were crimes committed in israel's war. on garza, the,

the former us president iraq obama and michelle obama have endorsed carmella harris in her bid to be the next president. the obama was called the presumptive democratic party nominee. while she was out campaigning to offer their support. i am proud of you. this is going to be historic. we called to say, michelle, and i couldn't be prouder doors here to do everything we can to get you through the selection of and then so they all go off. oh, my goodness, michelle practice mean so much to me. i am looking forward to doing this with the 2 of you or scotland to us as a politics professor with the clinton institute that university college dublin. he says was a political toxic for the obama as to only endorsed harris. now this was part of a, a roll out of for a campaign that has hit the ground running. uh, yeah. satisfied all the conspiracy theories. all the trumpets try to get through.

obama is don't lifetime law. the idea was, and it was prepared days before joe, by the next year we drew in preparation for that i would endorse the whole series of different product figures within doors, across the party, from the center to the progressives. here us with get the backing of a majority of delegates and so it's like lock up the nomination and that as it were, the icing on the cake would come in with the obama. so these political heavy weiss then giving their endorsement as well, which means that you have this choreograph video with these one works from both brought and michelle obama. and that's all i heard. i was responding. yes, you know, we're going to go forward for the future of the country and we're going to have some fun as well as the possibility of a chance to hear us what's going on with an hour to jo, binds announcement last sunday, because all the potential challengers cover down a nationwide california governor draft graduating from michigan toner, joshua bureau, pennsylvania. they always stuckey side. they endorse terrace. the party is moving

rochdale in greater manchester as well friday pads have just finished in the small skin rochdale. this is the most does the family usually attend? however, they have not been here today. we are told because they've been overwhelmed by the events of the past few days, but we've spoken to the members of the community here. they've all been incredibly just stopped by the video that we've all seen. but they say largely that they have reassured by the fact that there is now an independent investigation into what took place and they have appealed to come. we have seen protests here in rochdale on wednesday evening at the police station there protesting mantas the yesterday night . and thursday evening, but now people here are saying, let's wait and see what the investigation finds and that is very much what the family wants to. we are told by the local member of parliament who is actually visited them and spoken to them. we have caught up with him earlier today, and this is what he had to say about what the family tells them. they also want to

make sure that they have the time and space to be left alone to sort of pick themselves up and to, for the members that families to get the medical treatment they, they need. there's a wide message from them though, which is that they wanted to put that through me, which is that they don't have a political agenda and then not joining in any process and they want things to be kept calm. and i think that's really important. and that's part of my job as them and pay for this time is to make sure that this town is as united as possible and not divided we've, i've thought too much division. and the key for me is making sure that people them outside don't hijack this. this individual incident to for their own ends. wildfires have destroyed half of the town of jasper in western canada residents and about 20000 tourist had been evacuated. the resort town in the rockies gets as many as 2 and a half 1000000 visitors a year. the fire was spark by lightning and spread quickly because of strong winds . hundreds of international firefighters are due to arrive to help local teams.
