a detained opposition leader and musician. i'm joining with your sports news japan's asian games delegation sends home four boss cable plays in disgrace i'll tell you why later this news hour. from a series of coordinated attacks on police targets in russia's chechnya region at least five attackers were killed and several police officers injured the chechen information minister says the attackers were between a levon and sixteen years old code out to rory challenge has been gathering more information as the moscow eleven to sixteen reward also learned. well you know these kinds of attacks are actually pretty rare events in chechnya these days of course the history of chechnya is one of insurrection and warfare but for the last decade or so things have been moderately stable certainly

a lot more stable than they used to be and security as returns to the republic now this is basically. because the chechen leadership has clamped down on things and rules it with a pretty hard iron fist but this series of attacks a rarity does not seem to have been particularly sophisticated or particularly effective three different incidents there was a stabbing incidence there was an attempted suicide bombing and there was a hit and run with a car. no police officers were killed as far as we understand the civilians were killed either the suicide attacker didn't manage to blow himself up and the stabbings and the. hit and run didn't pass with any fatalities either the

security service is saying that they have neutralized as they put it it's of the all the attackers apart from the this suicide bomber the leadership of church near is basically saying that this was something that was kind of imported that this ideology that inspired these people to do this had come from i still come from overseas and they invested investigative committee in russia has launched. an investigation as is the procedure in these things to try and work out what happens and and who was behind it so rory has has eisel specifically claimed responsibility . they have been through their media channels they have said that they were behind this now how credible is that it's difficult to say i still often claims responsibility for things that they have not necessarily had

a logistical hand in the planning of it or in the execution of it yet quite often they will put out videos from the attackers and the attackers say that they were doing this in the name of ice or so when i saw it says that it is responsible for something that can actually be a fair be a fairly loose thing that it was. an ideology that these attackers aspire to and something done more remotely the. hands on plotting planning and execution of an attack so when they say this was an isolated acca doesn't necessarily mean that they were you know the the the masterminds logistical masterminds behind it it could be that they had just talked to these guys on line and these guys as the said yes will do this and will do it in the name of ice it will have to wait and see what the specifics of this particular attack were a series of attacks were but yes at the moment isolate claiming it's the leadership

of chechnya is saying that this was an isolated act as well all right or a challenge life for us in moscow thank you. but as leyland's of oak and up to president nicolas maduro drastic monetary reforms three of the country's main opposition parties have already called for protests more than two million venezuelans have fled to neighboring countries to escape the worsening financial crisis the brazilian state of programa is asking the supreme court to close their borders to all of them as whalen's in ecuador have also tighten rules for new arrivals leaving thousands stranded at border checkpoints colombia as well has protested because many of his leyland's arriving there are now stranded within its borders and. i will talk more about that migration situation in a moment where you are in bogota but first tell us more about the push back now that nicolas maduro is getting against these changes he wants to make.

yeah there are a number of economic measures the two main ones are of course this massive devaluation of the venezuelan currency the volume and market height at the same time the minimum wage in the country by three thousand percent there is a lot of criticism as these measures start to take place today on monday and of the next well as a government and said this was going to be a national holiday for this to happen more smoothly but critics are coming out are talking about the fact that they fear that this will not help pain the i put inflation in the country and the opposition is now calling for a general strike on tuesday and rallies in the capital. business the biggest biggest business there getting station in the country is also saying that this was in swell plans and that way will create chaos in coming days

and that they expect this and this is just to increase prices again and to continue with more of the same of what we've seen prices going up and people being good and they bought more and more to buy basic items when it is that they find i'm not sure where you are and bogota there have been several hundred thousand that it's leyland allowed in but. and there was a time that colombia was not that lenient and other countries clearly are trying to close their borders what is the situation with other countries and south america being open to receiving and insolence. well the situation is that we've seen an increase over all these countries have seen an increase in the influx of migrants in the last two or three weeks and so they're taking measures to try and control the situation the problem in. this case is that there is a lack of coordination between these countries and venezuela so ecuador has decided

to all of a sudden to require passports for venezuelans that were trying to recheck whether across through ask whether the same. now is now promising to do starting on august twenty fifth and this is creating the backlog that we are seeing on the border with that question here in colombia let me also add stright as brought upon new rules starting in february so what we're seeing is that there are tensions that are creating being created in these areas where the migrants and piling up for example as we've seen on saturday in brazil on the northern border between brazil and venezuela where a number of minutes what ends were pushed back by locals that were angry there and we've seen

a number of external fall the incidents that are happening in these countries are centered around the idea life for us in bogota thank you. so take a closer look at some of these monetary reforms and the reasons behind them inflation is projected to rise further up to one million percent this year that's according to the international monetary fund so just to give you an idea venezuelans are now paying about two million dollars for a cup of coffee so to solve the problem the government is introducing a new currency the software and ball of our which will remove the zeros from banknotes it's linked to a crypto currency announced in february that's pegged to the price of oil the government is also raising the minimum wage by three thousand percent and president wants in his wayland's to pay more for what is currently the world's cheapest gas so i decide as a political analyst based in washington she says the venezuelan government is trying to evade sanctions imposed by the united states and other countries. some people consider it is still illegal and too late and actually it's going to worse

the situation in menace where because if you can see there they race they mean among wage from three median to store one hundred eight the median value it is a massive massive they were off the currency ok they moderate g.m. also announce a couple of days ago they are going to release or luis their restorations on currency cointreau in venice where so they are trying to tie the economy there in a swollen economy or they were in a swollen currency deliberate or which is. sorely link to the oil. price of right now it's around seven seventy dollars a barrel more or less so that will be the price of the petrol but it is. the price so we don't know actually his main goal is to keep the sanctions

imposed by the by the u.s. in other quandaries that's why he's trying to use stick with a bad throw the keep the currency in order to keep the sanctions and try to sort of dive and bring to life the economy man. and uganda there have been street battles between police and protesters in the capital kampala the police of use live gunfire to disperse anti-government demonstrators there's been anger over the arrests and alleged torture of several opposition politicians including a musician turned politician or details now from nowhere in kampala in the police in the army with really break up those protests using live gunfire in tear gas you can see the remains of women those burning roadblocks just a short distance over here because it's a baby when i'm angry following incidents that began a week ago but we were in was campaigning through a candidate in a final action in northern uganda. the campaigns that have gone peacefully and that

kidnapped those passengers because they received some intelligence that among those passengers were top security officials the security forces have their own story they said that the taliban did not free those passengers but the and the security forces managed to free them. but the main question asked by many afghan here in afghanistan is is that even going to accept the offer of ceasefire for three months or for just a day by prison twenty. one has yet to answer this this question but according to our sources some members. of the leadership of taliban are leaning toward accepting . the offer is not for three months at these four or or seven days but some of the members in taliban leadership believe that the movement to keep the

taliban should keep fighting the government and force them to go for more concessions in the future afghanistan is experiencing a drought so severe that two million people may run out of food and the next six months or than eighty thousand people left their villages in search of water in cities at the u.n. fears that number may double charla belet support some horrible province in western afghanistan. at this mosque in rule herat province it may in h.b. only use this skin tells the toll of the harsh climate. and the encroaching three of the taliban now there is a new danger that's beyond the control agriculture the main livelihood is turning to dust. two thirds of afghanistan is facing a severe drought rain never arrived in the winter or the spring and now it's summer . we're suffering

lifetimes but for the second consecutive year kateri citizens and expatriates are unable to travel to saudi arabia for the pilgrimage to mecca that's because of the blockade imposed on doha by riyadh and three other countries it's led to accusations that saudi arabia is using hodge as a tool of pressure and its foreign politics of all has a story. for over fourteen hundred years this was called the land of hate jazz hundreds of thousands of muslims from faraway lands flocked to these holy sites in mecca and medina to perform hajj the annual pilgrimage one of the five pillars of these faith. in one nine hundred thirty two a bedouin clan by the name of. what was ruling in the desert region of nudged to the east and next to him leading to the creation of what is currently known as saudi arabia over the years the number of pilgrims grew to millions the saudi monarchy imposed a quota system limiting the number attending from each country in the name of

qataris were welcome but because land sea and air routes were closed qatar is found it difficult to travel the absence of any consular representation in saudi arabia also raised safety concerns and it's not just qatar is have had problems according to the french lamond newspaper saudi authorities threatened to reduce had visa quotas to some west african countries with sizable majority muslim populations unless their governments cut ties with qatar. and during the last few weeks the kingdom became the joke of social media platforms when it's granted three hundred visas to its new ally the lebanese christian maronites leaders. photoshop pictures of zara and his wife in had uniforms were circulated in the middle east media under his leadership and in coordination with the israeli army just as felons party militias were behind the one nine hundred eighty two sobre and shatila massacre in

entirely because its growth is very low its economy grew by one point four percent last year this year it is projected to grow by just under two percent these are not strong enough rates of growth to reassure markets that greece will both finance its economy invest in its private sector but also have enough money left over to repay creditors private sector lenders from now on who will give it money at four four and a half to five percent therefore greece is still in the position where it has to provide confidence that it will in fact firstly follow the strict spending limits that it's been following up until now that it won't start doing irresponsible things with its spending in government and secondly that it will also pursue pro growth policies possibly offering tax incentives to small and medium sized enterprises possibly

spurring public investment in infrastructure using european phones and doing was it can to fight international capital back into greece. the leader of the catholic church pope francis has written a letter to the catholic community condemning sexual abuse by the clergy and asking for forgiveness from victims the vatican issued the three page letter ahead of his visit to ireland and that's where an international research group is expected to put information in the names of priests and other members of the church in the allegations against them the organization wants the pope to disclose the names of all irish clergy who have been disciplined for molesting children kamel government is the director of amnesty international and a victim of sexual abuse within the church he says the apology is not enough for victims and their families and i think the statement today is welcome it goes further and use a stronger language than we've ever we've ever seen before but i think we have to put this in some context i mean the problem is that the bar has been set so low by

the catholic church which for decades dismissed the idea idea that abuse was even happening accuse those of us who spoke out about the systemic nature of the cover up of slander of being anti-catholic accuse the media of media of an anti catholic bias and denied all of this for years so the acknowledgement of the fact that all of this has happened the acknowledgement finally that there was a cover up and part of the church is welcome but unfortunately have no point in the pope's very lengthy two page letter does the acknowledge the vatican's responsibility for that cover up he talks about a culture of clericalism about systems that allowed all of this to happen but it doesn't simply and honestly and truthfully finally acknowledged that those were systems that were put in place and underpinned by canon law or by church law that these were policies willfully and deliberately implemented by the catholic church at the global level by the vatican by his successors and he begs for forgiveness but he doesn't say for wash so i'm sorry to say that was the language is stronger

it doesn't go anything like far enough. a report from n.d.s. has available widespread sexual mental and physical abuse of disadvantaged children and adults living in care homes in the state of bihar researchers from the tata institute of social sciences found fifteen state funded homes needed immediate action because of appalling at these claims the report was commissioned by the bahar government last year and released to the public on friday and one of the worst examples medical reports confirm the rape of thirty four inmates most of far per shelter this was revealed earlier this year and the managers at the shelter were arrested but the full report says violence was prevalent in almost all of the one hundred ten and to two sions that were audit it. has a task force examining poverty and homelessness at the tata institute of social sciences he says social audits should be mandatory it was a student shooter process documents started when assigned as the social order so

this made us the process easy we got access to all the institutions and the materials you which we applied while doing the social audit is to talk to the residents separately and privacy and other management stops with them some pretty so we got time to interact one to one with the dissidents in privacy also. we took them in confidence we didn't promise them that we were going to improve the things of the do this or we'll do that we just inform them you just showed them the if you have a story to tell just tell us and we write it down and we'll make sure that these are this damning report and this from least to the head of the department my recommendation would be to make the social of that mandatory and this exercise should should be carried out in every astute because i'm sure things are going to come up like this in other states also because situations and institutions are not . so again the social order in this process the stakeholders you know the residents

of the institution should take part in this order they should be certifying but that the service has been rendered to them in the institutions unacceptable or not but their freedom their dignity have been restored are not something while it are not they should be the major focus point who should actually do the process of social order along with elizabeth members and. south africa has opened a traditional ann curry into a let's corruption at the highest levels of government the hearing will investigate claims of fraud in the public sector that is during former president is time in office for minimal or has a subject for us. up to the start of the commission of inquiry into state capture of the chairperson of the commission chief deputy chief justice raymond's on the indicated that they it hasn't been as much cooperation from state departments as the commissioner would have liked at this age there are ministers that we have had to deal with and that ministerial level of those that we have dealt with have been

very supportive of them very corporate too but sometimes there are challenges with regard to what. we have had delays. in. the dealings of the commission with the national treasury. over the past few months. so much so that. i've had. the minister interview this with many could raise questions possibly around how effective the inquiry could be and if prosecutions could come out of the recommendations that would be given to president. later stage but that could take more than two years at this stage the legal team for the commission of inquiry is so far outlined some of the areas of allegations it be looking into which include the possible involvement of state owned enterprises in these allegations if former

president jacob zuma had any influence in this regard and his relationship with the gupta family who's alleged to have used their political connections to benefit politically and financially from state owned enterprises which range from the national electricity provider to public transport and even the use of their political connections for their citizenship here in south africa social and economic inequalities have a significant impact on survival rates of children suffering from cancer that's a headline of a recently published report according to the researchers white children have a significant survival advantage over black and hispanic children for some forms of cancer survival rates can be increased government being social and economic barriers to proper health care and that can be done by providing access to expanded health insurance and make people more aware about different ailments that's bitter the late author of a support or back account she joins us now from new york via skype we appreciate

your time so much on we talk about social and economic factors what kinds of factors what does that mean. yes so we quantified socioeconomic status in our paper was based on a composite measure that it took into account income education occupation for our study we use that as the neighborhood level measure so take into account that yes yes if you're where you live or your neighborhood that's what we had available to us but it's really this all encompassing measure of kind of your social place based again on full financial and other resources available to a family and talk about how that intersects with race. yes especially somewhere in the u.s. we know that race is so highly correlated with s.t.'s and minority groups aren't just proportionately just proportionately more likely to be a lower s.t.'s then not hispanic whites in this country and so because the two are so highly correlated that's why we hypothesize that there could be factors related

to s.c.s. that are contributing to these known racial and ethnic disparities in health outcomes and in our case childhood cancer survival and how disheartening has it that your child survival from something like this might in any way be impacted by or social economic status. yeah i mean it's obviously devastating and i think that's why we're hoping to bring awareness to the fact that social or potentially not medical factors are really are leading to differences in health outcomes and so we're hoping that by drawing attention to these potential factors that may be contributing to these survival differences we can therefore come up with interventions that can actually intervene upon these things in a fusible way and help all families and all children regardless of what their socioeconomic status is are those types of interventions and are they all are they

all financial relate or are they all economic related or could it be more than that it could absolutely be more than that and i think that's kind of the next step of this line of research right is now that we've documented these are the differences then these are kind of. the different cancers for which s. yes playing a role i think the next step is to actually drill deeper and identify specific interventions and specific issues that these low income families are facing that are contributing to these differences because it might not all just do differences than in the actual finances or are monetary differences it could be other things like access to care the quality of care or the interaction with your provider that keeps you coming back and receiving the care you need these are things that i'm only speculating about but could all be contributing to this issue rebecca can joining us from new york thank you very much thank you. but you are going to strike me as having trouble finding that a ported parents of hundreds of children who remain in government care the children had been taken from their parents after they across the border the spring

a judge ordered the family separations to end that reuniting them has been a problem i did a castro has a story. since being deported to guatemala two months ago or donna's lopez's lifeline has been her telephone each ring brings hope she'll hear the voice of her seventeen year old son jordan calling from two thousand kilometers away i always ask if he's ok he says yes but as his mother i know that's not true because he tells me mom my experience has been very difficult i never thought he'd be so far from me and he's heard mother and son had left quite a mullet together in may at the us border they used a raft to cross into the country then they turned themselves into u.s. border patrol. i thought i would find hope but instead i found this very cruel law the trump administration's zero tolerance policy resulted in the separation of
