swiss goal scorers have inflamed ethnic tensions in the balkans with the celebrations of the world cup. as in both ways president has escaped an explosion at a campaign rally by the ruling zanu p.f. poncy ahead of next month's election the blast happened as emerson and gaga and other politicians were walking off the stage at the stadium in the city of by the way or he wasn't hurt but one of his valise presidents and another minister were there are reports of at least two deaths the elections will be the first since robert mugabe was forced out of power last year well let's get more on this from horowitz also a correspondent in neighboring south africa can you give us any more details as to exactly what happened they say explosion. well in the past few minutes president

and other went on state radio and he sort of addressed the nation and he called this a cowardly incident a cowardly act and he said it won't stop his party the rulings on a party from preparing for the elections at the end of july what we know on the ground is that at the hospital several people had been injured he was there visiting some of the injured people which include the wife of one of the vice presidents mira chewing us she was hurt in the leg some v.i.p.'s have also been injured we're told one soldier has been injured and civil party supporters plus or minus twenty people at one of the hospitals the situation where right now it is calm and there are reports that flights are they are being allowed to take off from the airport there in. there i'm confirmed reports that the president has actually left and is on his way to the capital harare but other grounds the situation seems to be calm people waiting for the main news bulletin at eight pm local time when probably more updates will emerge on exactly what happened and maybe who could have been responsible i'm not for my next question her obviously very early days on an

investigation but where do you think people are now looking to think who is responsible for this attack. well firstly pull away a is an opposition stronghold is the second biggest city in zimbabwe and the people there generally don't vote for the ruling party zanu p.f. and a lot of people don't like president so they stand speculation it could be some opposition group that may not be happy with the fact that he was in the area and then of course i understand that when robert mugabe the former president was removed from power by the army there are some people who are still alive to support him who are still in zanu p.f. what happy that when the governor is the president it could be maybe one of them or some of them could be involved in this we do know that security has been quite high and around the president he's hired a lot of new security people he was allegedly poisoned a few months ago so he is on high alert but right now a lot of speculation nothing is confirmed of the grand people waiting for official an official source to tell the country what exactly happened and recovery elections

coming up next month. later thing the way they were going to be held the way the campaigns are going to be going as regards to security well it's anyone's guess i think what we're likely going to see certainly at the president's rallies is increased security normally there is security when he does travel he does attain these rallies people who are allowed to get close to the normally v.i.p.'s senior party officials journal says while r.t. close to him so it remains to be seen who was able to get that close to throw this device that exploded that said people who do go through alleys are searched patted down to measure they aren't carrying anything so a lot of questions will be asked how did this person get through what device did he or she use what was the intended target for example and then of course in the future how are they going to make sure that the future right is coming up before these elections we more secure not just for the president before for other people also attending his rallies good to get your portales thank you him

security operation for such a large rally was adequate some of the officers have been saying that is an attempt on the life of the prime minister and the definitely. supporting the rally was a great demonstration that there is a solid support for the reformist by the prime minister but at the same time the the great attack have revealed that the reforms are still fragile prime minister abbey says he is determined to bring change to ethiopia but this attack highlights the lengths some will go to to try and stop him victoria. to accuse presidential candidates have held their final rallies ahead of landmark elections on sunday president. urged people to get out and vote he attacked his opposition for lacking vision and boasted of his achievements while in office such

presence of ukrainian and afghan militias. who should decide the future of the country. the syrian army is massing troops in the area the opposition says thousands of shia militias also moving in dar was the focal point of the syrian uprising in two thousand and eleven but in recent years the rebels have been retreating they now control one neighborhood in the city and a few areas on the border with jordan this is a show of force by the free syrian army in daraa for years the f.s.a. was trained by the u.s. europe and gulf countries but that support has diminished over the last two years and assad forces are largely outgunned and outnumbered the dow

offensive poses challenges for all the parties the rebels cannot afford another setback after being evicted from a just cause including aleppo homes and on the asker's of damascus but of the syrian army's push continues the u.s. may and. that may trigger a wider. question. palestinians have been protesting in the west bank against sanctions imposed on gaza by the palestinian authority but the turnout was lower than a previous demonstration as a man coming from ramallah. it's likely that the organizers are going to be very disappointed in the size of this crowd it's about a couple of hundred people but these people all make you give voice very clear you heard only really devoured and that's lifting the sanctions by the way and giving some relief to the people of gaza now in recent weeks. already being criticized for

hate. against the protesters but this one seems to be a lot there is a palestinian authority police presence but it's not nearly as heavy handed as it has been in previous weeks. spain's coast guard has rescued nearly six hundred migrants trying to make the journey across the mediterranean from north africa spain's maritime rescue service says it picked up people from sixteen boats in the strait of gibraltar a busy shipping line with treacherous currents two men were also pulled from a canoe on whether this week as encourage migrants to try to make the journey. french president says he favors financial sanctions on european countries that refused to take migrants with proven asylum status marc wrong has held a working lunch with new spanish prime minister pederast sanchez in paris as the spanish latest first official visit abroad since taking office three weeks ago that meeting comes ahead of an emergency summit between sixteen and is on sunday to

address recent tensions over migration policy especially russia has more on the meeting from paris. well the main message from these two leaders in paris was that the european union simply has to have a coordinated strategy when it comes to migration it has to be united now the french president emanuel markhor praised the new socialist prime minister pedro sanchez from spain saying that he had showed a gesture of solidarity when he decided to open up their doors in spain to the aquarius migrants and refugees those who were rescued by that charity ship blocked by italy macross said it was indeed an important gesture but the migration cannot be solved in that way on a case to case basis what is needed is a much wider plan now both pedro sanchez and tomorrow mark or will be at a mini migration summit in brussels on sunday and this meeting in paris was really

an opportunity for these two leaders to get snow each other's the first time they met and also discuss some of the strategies which may be talked about at the summit on sunday and later in the week at the main summit there is no doubt they are on they same page or they believe new solutions must be found they also both pro e.u. young dynamic leaders who really want more e.u. integration and what that means for them is that there must be solutions found to the migration crisis because they see the divisions that it is causing and they worry that that could threaten the future of the european union the future of the bloc in fact a model mark or even said that we could see a wave of populism and nationalism unless something is done. thousands of protesters opposed to breakfasts half march through central london on the second anniversary of the u.k. to leave the european union and the mounting a second referendum on e.u. membership once the terms of the country's withdrawal become clear it comes

a senior figures in the british government say they remain willing to walk away from e.u. negotiations without a deal if a satisfactory agreement can be reached the baka was at the march in central london . it's two years since the u.k. surprise decision to leave the e.u. in that referendum back in two thousand and six same two years old the country appears more divided than ever over the future of britain's relationship with the european union but here in london capital that voted overwhelmingly in support of remaining in the e.u. vos crowds have gathered here on parliament square to make their voices heard it may be for many a little bit too late to contest the results of the referendum but it's not too late to cool it for a new vote on the final deal people here say there is most more information available to them now the back to the referendum in two thousand and sixteen so it should be now put to the people once more to decide what should happen post one

a little bit earlier on i spoke to some key figures from the remain campaign the countries from the big three divide in the fight those divisions have healed and the reason for that i think is that since the referendum we lost the referendum will suffice but since the reason why is governed as if all of these people kind of don't exist so what this is about is basically saying that we have to at least hold open the option when she does come up with a deal with the people who are to say yeah that's what we voted for we want a people's vote deal or no deal and i think that's right it can't be right that six hundred fifty politicians sitting in palm and who are amongst themselves as indeed our government and cabinet is divided on this question i think sixty five million people in our country should have a vote on the final deal. so no great surprise perhaps about the size of this demonstration here in london but what is surprising is that two yeas after the

referendum took place here to krishna gauche ations began between the e.u. and the u.k. there was still quite so much anger over such confusion about what the right to say that. a form of vatican diplomats has been sentenced to five years in prison for possessing and distributing child pornography one señor collar capella admitted to viewing the images in what he said was a ton of fragility sparked by a job chance to the vatican embassy in washington a tribunal convert to capella for two day trial the first of its kind to be held inside the vatican u.s. president gul chump that we need sanctions on north korea he now says pyongyang poses an extraordinary nuclear threat to claim last week it poses no threat at all but washington has now indefinitely suspended somewhere that you're training exercises with south korea some pledge to call off the drills during his month's
