is what made the tragedy worse, making it easier for them to pass the virus to one another. with more than 20 children to feed their aunt is finding it hard to cope. >> translator: thank god for the president who helps us fix our leaking roof but we still need help. we have the youngest orphan here while people are talking how he is the youngest survivor he is still here with no aid. in fact the children are many here. >> reporter: she says he is desperately needs regular meals to be provided and wants to send as many children as she can to school. for now they are getting by on the extecheded support of the family circle. train services are again being delayed by striking french

his popularity rating is sky high bolstered by the crisis in ukraine. but with a growing sense of isolation, old fears have come to the surface, and different relationships are being worked on. >> russia is a european-minded country, and felt part of the western community in general terms. now we feel alienated, we feel subject to a new kind of crusade, and that definitely backs up what has been called a pivot to asia. >> reporter: no one knows how long the sanctions will last or what the ultimately effect will be. women's rights groups in india want a ban on instant divorces by muslim men. they can divorce their wives simply by saying one word three
