11:17 am
a high degree of global instability and we need to remind the international community that this is not only related to taiwan that we will not tolerate the serious situation in a more. only seventeen countries have diplomatic ties with taiwan most of them are impoverished nations of the pacific region or latin america such as haiti honduras and nicaragua taiwan's only diplomatic ally left in africa is swaziland both taiwan and beijing have engaged in years of diplomatic tug of war in developing countries china has offers economic support from the world's second largest economy to smaller the nations as a bargaining chip taiwan is not recognized as an independent country by much of the world nor the united nations brown has more from beijing. well this is another important symbolic diplomatic victory for china as it seeks to pick off one by one those countries that still have diplomatic relations with taiwan since zion when

11:19 am
this was going to happen back in june it a try to persuade el salvador not to do this but of course in the end it simply lost out in the inevitable bidding war with china there is now just one country in africa that has ties with taiwan that is swaziland and i think china would very much like swaziland to come into its orbit before early september because that's when president xi jinping will be hosting an africa china summit here in beijing. australia's prime minister malcolm turnbull has survived a leadership challenge by his home affairs minister peter dutton turnbull won the vote forty eight to thirty five resigned as a minister shortly afterwards turnbull's leadership had been under pressure but he was forced to make changes to his energy policy this week after members of his own party threatened to vote against it that today the liberal party room has confirmed my leadership and julies deputy leadership of the liberal party

11:22 am
their investigation of sex abuse by members of the marist brothers order and head of the pope's visit to ireland this weekend bishop accountability dot org has added a new database of names of irish priests and church employees accused of child abuse if the vatican was approaching this issue with integrity a pope would have come here and not just kissed the ground when he landed but got moneys nice and acknowledge the truth of what's happened in this country in the vatican's role in us fifteen years ago and people need to the top of this is nice and far. any acknowledgment of the abuse issue to be a mere afterthought i think is reprehensible. but this isn't the first time the pope has acknowledged sex abuse and asked for forgiveness and to us. before god and his people i express my sorrow if it seems in a grave crimes of clerical sexual abuse committed against you and i haven't really asked for forgiveness. the vatican says the pope's new letter is another wake up

11:25 am
conflict is much higher than. the who these are taking advantage of the severe poverty families are living in children are being brainwashed to fight and some forcefully sent to training camps who for years are going to schools in orphanages to recruit children we know of one thousand eight hundred cases but i think the figure is much higher. the u.n. report also found that nearly two thirds of child soldiers in yemen are fighting for the healthy in june human rights watch called on all parties in the conflict to ensure that no children were taking part in the fighting in her data and to investigate and punish officers who allowed children in their units. and i will never forget one of the young children. we describe a young writer. in the areas that yet yet despite the testimonies and witness accounts prove the rebels have denied the accusations. we completely deny reports that we use child

11:27 am
criminals tried to destabilize the situation but they failed thanks to the accurate and orchestrated efforts of law enforcement and security agencies their plan was foretold the situation in the territory of our republic is under control there are no reasons to worry there have been no losses among police personnel. and every challenge has more from moscow. well there are two notable things about this series of attacks the first is that it took place at all despite its warts on history these days attacks like this are a pretty rare event in chechnya the second was notable thing is the youth of these attackers or thirty's in chechnya say that the youngest was eleven years old and the oldest of them was almost seventeen teenagers kids basically now the attacks three of them happens over the course of a short span of time one of them was an attempted stabbing on police
11:28 am
officers the second was an attempted suicide bombing which fails the attacker didn't kill himself nor anyone else and the third was a kind of hit and run in a car no police officers died in these attacks no civilians died in these attacks in the aftermath all but one of the attackers was killed by the security services so you could say that this was not particularly sophisticated in its execution and not particularly successful either the leader of chechnya rams and the dear of her said that they were. basically young people that had had their minds perverted by eisel and indeed in the art of march of this attack or these this series of attacks i still through its media channels has claims responsibility and come to visit has been freed from prison after receiving
