to catch up see what happened although i see this guy is crumbling i mean he's going seventy eighty clicks he's just hitting people one by one going down. and it was so nice. i got to you on the next person i seen the lady with her leg and. to see this really bad. that you're like joins us live from toronto so the toll appears to be rising in the evening went on to tell us more about what you've been finding out. well lauren a lot of the injuries in this terrible incident were very serious indeed only one of the two hospitals that took in victims the wounded has reported on the actual nature of the injuries and they've got at least five people in critical condition two in a serious condition the other hospital may have similar numbers we don't know about the rest of the sixteen people hurt we do know that

a couple of people died at hospital they were taken by medical technicians who were trying to save them as they went this happened just after lunch time on a beautiful spring day a lot of extra people may have been out on the streets very busy shopping area with a major public transport right next to it where buses subways and trains come together and as the witnesses were saying pete the van just mounted the sidewalk the pavement and just seemed to plow along smashing over bus stops and fire hydrants and striking people left and right it went several city blocks before it was finally stopped and that's where the police managed to capture the man he's seen in one video holding out what some said may have been a firearm but it doesn't appear to be if you look closely it appears to be a cellphone the police had their guns drawn they didn't shoot and he threw it down on the on the sidewalk and surrendered he's also heard to be saying things that some people have interpreted as kill me or shoot me in the head but again we don't know who this man is what his motive may have been and what the nature of the

attack was canadian officials are being very very cautious they're urging people not to jump to conclusions and saying we need several days of investigations before we can really start to figure out how this is going to proceed what happened here why and what's going to be done if necessary to stop it from happening in future and done in a spirit in the past in recent past they have been various attacks in different cities where there has been driven deliberately at crowds and i'm not saying this is the case necessarily here but it seemed like a very open pavement in some cities around the world they've now got to stop this kind of thing happening how likely is that to change do you think. depends of course on the nature of the attack what they find out the other similarity with attacks in europe and elsewhere has been that this was a rented van a hired van with the logo of the hire company on the side and there's been talk here about perhaps should it be necessary inquiring more about the background or

having a registry for van hires but again this is the kind of talk you hear when something horrific first happens the follow through takes years it involves political leadership security authorities we've heard from canada's national security minister who just coincidentally is one of the co-hosts of a group of seven foreign and security ministers summit being held in toronto right now this minister of canada's national security said that he's not raising canada's national security alert level for now and again he was very cautious wait for the police wait for more information let's not jump to conclusions that was his message to the public that he lacked thank you very much indeed. tens of thousands. in the resignation of prime minister. he now has to it was stepping down after almost two weeks of mass anti-government protests opponents had

achieve that end. it does seem very difficult you've got to remember that donald trump when he was a candidate spoke out against the iran nuclear deal said that as soon as he was president he was going to scrap it he signed two renewals as he has to do under u.s. law but when he signed the last one he said this was absolutely the last time he was going to do it since then he's appointed john bolton this is national security advisor someone who's on record as talking about regime change in tehran he's also said that he wants the point might pompeo as is u.s. secretary of state that vote process is going on not far from here on capitol hill at the moment and he has said that he is also against the iran nuclear deal so it would seem unlikely that president mccall would be able to turn donald trump on this except and this is a big caveat except that donald trump also said on the campaign trail and when he

came into the white house one of the first things he did was pull the united states out of the transpacific partnership i know the white house the administration donald trump is looking at possibly getting into the t.t.p. perhaps under p.p.p. perhaps under a different name because he fears that china's economic strength is too big and they need to have something to watch because of bork against that no we know that he is dead set against it he believes that iran shouldn't be carrying a ballistic missile test not part of the deal he said iran is also spreading problems in other parts of the region not part of the deal and he also has some key allies in the middle east on his side when he says they want to scrap the deal but he might be convinced very small chance of that though but it's not just mccall who'll be here talking about the iran nuclear deal and go america will be in tone very soon and you can put money on it that she will absolutely be talking about the

iran nuclear deal seeing iran is in compliance and this is the best way to deal with the iran nuclear issue and official thank you very much indeed. so had. well stocked shelves despite have to sanctions were taken to a shopping center in north korea where no shortages. sound like a copyright north and south sudan has artists struggling to protect their way. however we've got some cold air in wetter weather moving through the bite that's just rolling across the foss out of australia i'm going to see temperatures falling away quite noticeably adelaide in melbourne over the next couple of days twenty five celsius in adelaide on tuesday the winds coming in from the west or southwest the direction melbourne around twenty four degrees and two with that the sydney as

found no shortages and luxury items like chocolates and bottles of alcohol that were clearly smuggled in in defiance of the sanctions the official line is that foreign imports have been replaced by increase domestic production. bill you believe i don't know why others around us are starving us dear reporter when we return please tell them we are indomitable no matter what thank sions are upon us. the only medical facility we were taken to was a gleaming new hospital most of the equipment here was imported clearly a problem in the future when spare parts become needed we were shown the eyeglasses which is subsidized for north korean citizens you know what is amazing yes what's the name of the north korean browned zero hour. yeah yet not yet not ok but a recent un report says the humanitarian situation particularly in rural areas outside

the capital is poor before traveling to north korea i spoke to the un's top humanitarian official in new york. their. nutrition problem also malnourished children especially there are to many women having really hard time tough and dying in childbirth it's the u.n. security council that voted in the international sanctions and the netherlands is the council member that administers them. in all resolutions there's a view very clear passage where it says the these sanctions are not meant to have adverse negative effects on the people of deeper. that's the official line privately even western diplomats will tell you there's a stigma to denature humanitarian aid to north korea for example an important program by the n.-g. o. the global fund to fight malaria and tuberculosis was caught earlier this year

remains of my family shouldn't be in the lying with a dictator. during franco's thirty six year dictatorship hundreds of thousands of spaniards died or just disappeared franco himself ordered the building of the basilica as a symbol of peace and reconciliation but many see it as a monument to a fascist or a silent place it embodies spain so-called pact of forgetting and amnesty pardoning the political crimes of the past that helped spain's transition to democracy in one nine hundred seventy seven the benedictine monks who live here against the dead for them the religious status comes before its political significance but the silence is now being shattered. for the officials entering there's a grim task ahead searching through the remains of thirty four thousand people to identify then bringing up the bodies of franco's victims has happened in other

copyright laws in the country with little control over the sale of their works it's likely others will make more money from their songs or literary projects than the artists themselves given morgan reports from juba. it takes days sometimes weeks for one of south sudan's most popular musicians emanuel can be to write record and produce his songs yet despite his the education he benefits very little from the finished product. in south sudan with the glee. copyright law does not exist so we musicians we spend time money and energy to produce but. there's no any law that protects all right like in other countries in the neighborhood the neighboring countries like sudan uganda so like good musicians produce music at least to earn something out of their work. but

it's also not. emanuel is one of more than fifty artist in south sudan all facing the same problem musicians writers and poets are all suffering because there are no laws in place to protect their work now many prefer to have their work produced in other countries where there is copyright legislation. and we in south sudan and south london are to have a coprime this system here. i wanted to try to publish in uganda i would publish them you're going to definitely yeah but he would i would still maintain that i didn't you know salsa news poet who's publishing a new government there are no distribution companies in south sudan it's not seen as a worthwhile investment but that doesn't mean artists works are not being sold distributing the work of art without their permission isn't difficult you bring a stick or drive to meet a fellow here in the markets and choose the music you want he'll copy it and you'll pay and it'll cost less than a dollar then you can reproduce songs using the music and the lyrics and the

artists don't even know that their music is being sold on government has taken little interest in the arts and literature sector especially after a civil war broke out in twenty thirty tens of thousands of people have been killed and a third of the country's twelve million population displaced but the government says it is now working on a bill and forming a council to protect the intellectual property of artists by the approval of the cabinet so that it. will become. and then add this to him time would confirm that we have a body that we can give him we can give this policy these these. laws so that we we talked about protection. for emmanuel and other artists this provides some hope that in the future it is they who will benefit financially from their words and music not an unknown third party. people more going on to their own jubal.

put in one of the top stories here on ars era toronto police have confirmed that nine people have been killed and another sixteen injured after a van run into pedestrians police say the driver of the vehicle has been taken into custody and is being questioned the incident happened on one of toronto's main streets which police say could remain shot for days while they continue their investigation they'll be using c.c.t.v. cameras in the area and repeating for witnesses to come forward it's obvious that you know someone over there then i see them go ahead i thought he had a heart attack or something so i was trying to chase it down in a way i must try to catch up see what happened although see this guy is credible and he's going seventy eighty klicks he's just hitting people one by one going down . and it was a nightmare i see that i was young enough for us and i seen a lady with her leg and there is

a. really bad out there. so i guess yeah in the newly appointed prime minister romania has resigned after days of mass and to government protests people poured into the streets of the capital yerevan to celebrate. said on his website that he was stepping down to maintain civic peace it may not mean he is president for a decade until last month when his term expired critics say is appointment to prime minister was an attempt to fool rules and stay in power. one of the top political leaders of the who fees in yemen has been killed in a saudi led air strike so there are some odd headed the hooty administration since august to do sixteen he was considered an effective second in command of the rebel group if you say he was killed by saudi led air strikes last thursday in her data a port city also under who she control. the foreign ministers of russia and china say they will block any attempts by the united states to sabotage the iran nuclear
