some breaking news coming out of russia's chechnya province where they've been several explosions in two different locations targeting security personnel for the very latest on this we can join rory chalons who is live for us in moscow what more do we know about this incident. well it seems that chechnya has been hit by a series of coordinated attacks today. the information is still slightly tenuous these attacks appear not to have been particularly sophisticated nor particularly effective but there could have been as many as three separate incidents in one two men walked into a police station and sort of attacking the policeman there with knives in another there was an attempted suicide bombing attack in which the bomb didn't kill anyone

not even the attacker and then in a perhaps the third unconfirmed one there was an attempt by someone in a car to run over a policeman which there was then followed with a shoot out now. this is all being sort of reported on russian news wires except for but the the exact details are still coming in not confirmed yet the russian investigative committee says that it has launched a criminal case into attacks in chechnya the leader of the chechen republic ramzan kadyrov a man whose whose reputation and position with the kremlin essentially hinges on his. position as someone who brought stability and security to the war torn republic after decades of war insurrection he says that the police managed to basically quell all of these attacks put them down.

injured people yes we don't know if there are any confirmed fatalities there were rumors of a target earlier on ramzan kadyrov the leader of chechnya says that he believes the people who are behind these attacks were being influenced or controled in some way by eisel or leave it there for known of course we'll wait to get more updates from you later today thanks rory. let's head to the americas novellas wayland's trying to cross into neighboring countries are being blocked at the border the u.n. says that more than two point three million venezuelans have fled the country but there's been a rise in hostility towards those wanting to escape an economic crisis brazil is sending troops to its border after local set fire to migrant can sell a hundred m.p.'s he is our correspondent joins me now from the colombian capital south american leaders are not very happy with venezuela or with president nicolas

maduro and while they're sympathetic with probably to the needs of the general public why is it that right now they want to close their borders and they can't accept any more venezuelans on that on their territory. well the issue is is that they feel that this is the biggest challenge in the region that never before has latin america seen such a huge influx of refugees economic migrants trying to move from one country to the there in such a short amount of time and they feel that there hasn't been enough regional interaction between the countries to deal with this issue and even less with venezuela itself the problem here is that the government of president nicolas maduro has not recognized their economic issues except for saying that they are the

victims of an economic war waged by the u.s. they don't recognize the amounts of people that have left the country in the last three to four years so every time that we are seeing. an increase in the amount of people leaving then the governments here tend to try to resist that inflicts they feel that they have already many challenges at home they already have to deal with their own big poor population and that's what we're seeing again in this case where for example ecuador and through trying to spare their limits to. try to stop to be a rival of venezuelans also colombia has done the same back in february. what are the concerns really full where you are in bogota for the for the government in colombia. but colombia now is very worried that they will see again a large number of the next well i'm being stranded at their borders both their

border with business well which is very large and very porous and also. now with ecuador since ecuador requires that now then it's with us to show their passports if they want to cross into their country and very small amount of them actually do have passports this is because it's very difficult for them to get one it's very expensive it's very difficult right now to find a paper on which passports are printed and it can cost up to a year work for many of these people to try and get one and many have already left so much so that we are hearing now reports on the border. there are dozens of minutes whereas this time it's across without their passport and at least last night quite glory and let's let it go. here is that it's really needed a larger regional platform for countries to work together to deal with this issue

that platform does not exist in many countries starting with colombia now saying that they will withdraw from. it which is an interim government so i get the station here that was pretty much created by venezuela and that's my tune and dialogue will have a definite sundra and get more updates said a progressive thank you. so to a sensational with the spread of diseases because we knew who were reform urgency workers in the southern indian state of carolus one of the half million people are being forced from their homes after the ones flooding in a century the eight hundred fifty thousand people are living in ted three hundred homeless has the latest from the state. the weather in kara was much better on monday than it had been in previous days a couple of downpours but nothing like the consistent rain that there has been and that has meant that the water has receded it's no longer above people's heads in

their homes or even at neck level it's now largely a sort of waist level lower where homes have been flooded and that means that most of the evacuations and rescues have now been completed there were only a few on monday relative to over the weekend but as the rescue operation comes to an end the relief effort is in full swing across five thousand different camps and carola there are now three courses plus a million people those are staggering numbers and they are called camps but really they are just converted community halls and schools that open their doors and let people in and the conditions in those places well they have enough food and water and enough medicines their pre-schooler places lots and lots of people crammed into hot sweaty humid rooms and some people there have now been there for five days with no end in sight and that is as you can imagine making people very depressed very sad and there is always the risk of diseases breaking out in those sorts of senses as well no sign of that on any large scale as yet but the concern is there concern

too that minor injuries that people picked up during the floods you can imagine the stuff that was going through the floodwaters those become infected and that becomes a problem to the relief effort though in full swing delhi is sending down lots and lots of a fifty million tons of food. two million liters of drinking water should have arrived in kerala on monday we should get that confirmed shortly for this relief effort in full swing. a report from india has revealed the widespread sexual mental and physical abuse of disadvantaged children and adults living in care comes in the state of bihar now researchers from the target institute of social sciences found fifteen state funded homes needed immediate action because of appalling abuse claims the report was commissioned by the government last year and released to the public on friday it one of the worst examples medical reports confirm the rape of thirty four inmates in was a for poor shelter this was revealed earlier this year and the managers of the shelter were arrested but the full report says violence was prevalent in almost all
