2:08 pm
happened over the past few weeks and this bacteria the salmonella bacteria contamination in the milky says a full investigation has been launched within his company and that the families who are affected will be compensated but there's no doubt there's been a lot of pressure on like to listen on the c.e.o. to come up with a real response and the french government say that they will even consider penalties against like to this and attash at first it was thought this contaminated milk only affected france but it's become much bigger than that hasn't it. it has and you know this actually started way back in december you know weeks weeks ago we had like to listen ready recalling some boxes of this contaminated milk most of it of course a baby milk and at the time it was thought that perhaps this was quite small it was something only affecting french households but now we discover that this is far wider than that more than eighty countries affected around the world so it's much
2:09 pm
much bigger and that is why so many people feel that perhaps lacked a list didn't do enough to be more transparent about just how widespread this problem was and what we've seen now is that they've having to recall about twelve million boxes of the product around the world and this is of course incredibly boring for all those families they give their children this baby milk because they don't know whether or not it might be contaminated it's also a huge blow for the company because it is a company with operations all over the world it employs tens of thousands of people and this is not been at all good for its image and sasha thank you very much for that natasha about the life for a c. in paris there. tunisia nine thousands of people on the streets of the capital tunis to mock seven years since the revolution that sparked the arab spring many of the big issues which brought people to the streets back then are still causing problems today the government's promised more assistance for poor families suffering from tax increases and price hikes after days of recent protests live to

2:13 pm
presumably have now gone to the ocean bed now what we do know is that china says that you know as far as it's concerned this vessel sank in in waters belonging to japan's economic zone so presumably japan will now be carrying out checks investigations in the days to come to see just how much of their waters have been contaminated but certainly the pictures we're seeing on state t.v. tonight point to you know quite a serious disaster fully because the the plume of spoke is more than a thousand meters high we don't know how big the oil slick is of the moment because this condensate oil is odorless it's colorless and also very hard to detect adrian brown in beijing thank you for that update. efforts are underway to recover a plane which skidded off the runway at an airport in turkey.

2:19 pm
a false alarm those not on twitter had to wait much longer before a correction was sent out thirty eight terrifying minutes how could this happen in the first place the explanation itself is baffling it was a procedure that occurs at the change of shift when they go through to make sure that the system is working and employing pushed along but that's right officials say one person pushed one wrong button the government says it will investigate but for the people who live through this panic that's little comfort i just hire anyone into this author place. that was it people were just running on history they were all desperately so yeah that was not fun at all the guy had one job right and he messed up so all that's crazy a false alarm in the face of an actual threat making the people of hawaii realize they might not be ready for the real thing patty call hane al-jazeera washington.

pope francis has been leading mass at the vatican to mark the world day of migrants and refugees he has knowledge that today's rising numbers of immigrants and refugees often generate fear in the countries where people are seeking asylum according to the un refugee agency more than sixty five million people have been forcibly displaced twenty two point five million people are refugees more than a quarter of them from syria and then they are the ten million people who are stateless not considered citizens of any country that includes more than six hundred fifty thousand ranger refugees forced out of myanmar in late august one of the most dangerous places for migrants and refugees is the mediterranean more than fourteen thousand people have died in those waters since twenty fourteen while trying to reach europe daniel garvin is the director of advocacy and media for the middle east at the norwegian refugee council he hopes the pope's message will have
2:21 pm
an impact. well i think the address by the pope is important for two main reasons the first is that we've seen all too few world leaders willing to stand up for refugees in fact have seen quite the opposite over the course of the last two years we've seen a hardening of the refugee rhetoric which the pope references in his address so i think that it's important that he is. standing up for that record number of people who are have been forced to flee their homes i think secondly and probably more importantly is this this rhetoric and this which is driven by this fear is leading to policies and practices which are affecting millions of people negatively so those more borders are being picked up. refugees in some cases being sent back to unsafe countries and life for those refugees who have made it's other countries become increasingly difficult harsh so. just by the pope is is important
