aid and supplies zero as way today is live for us now from the village of follow up much of which was destroyed in the earthquake one thousand people are believed to be still missing that way and. as we said it's been a week now what's the latest on the search for survivors. adrian the scene behind me in the community of velo or what's left of it is quite remarkable really the entire village and the neighboring one patrol boat simply sank to the ground with the earthquake struck if you have a look behind me the road we're standing on just completely vanishes and drop some three four five meters down there and when it dropped it took absolutely everything was it houses shops mosques and of course many many people disappeared into that mud and the liquefaction process as it's known with the earthquake struck just over a week ago the ground beneath the surface simply turned to mud quite incredible

scenes there is still a search operation going on we've just come back from the middle of that vast area there are at least three excavate is operating in one quite small area in there but it's extremely slow going tough going it's muddy a lot of water around the excavate is having to dig very very deep trying to search for the remains of the victims they are pulling up entire cars pieces of building other types of machinery so very difficult for them to find any of the bodies in there they are pulling some out but it is again a very slow process the other issue the people who used to live in there say is that the water level continues to rise day by day they say they used to be able to clamber through that rubble quite easily a few days ago getting to where their homes used to be to retrieve any possessions now they're finding it very difficult in some cases impossible because the water level keeps rising so it's an incredibly difficult difficult process it's so vast i'm not sure where they even begin to search for some of the victims adrian for the

save save them when from what you're saying that the toll is only set to rise. i think there's no doubt about that the discussions have begun about when this search operation in these two communities by the role and patrol boat may be stopped it hasn't stopped yet has a say but those discussions are underway the indonesian vice president use of cholera was in the disaster areas on friday this is one of the places he came to he met with community leaders religious leaders from here and they discussed that when they might bring an end to the search operation they said at that time the government and the local leaders that the community here the residents understand that that decision may have to be taken very soon but the people we've spoken to over the past few hours understand that it is a very difficult process and then ultimately some time in the future the search has to come to an end but they don't want that to be now there are still as i say many

people missing they were spoken to people who hour after hour of standing right beside those excuse faces waiting for the next body to be brought up in the hope that it may be their relative who is missing that they can have one last chance to say goodbye the reality is and this is the discussion that is under way that this may be turned into a mass grave the government is saying that the people who used to live hey will be relocated to other areas but again the people we've spoken to don't want that they know they can't live here for a very long time because as you can see the clean up operation is very far from starting so they say they were born here this is their land they were raised here and they eventually want to be able to return here to start their lives again or in many thanks indeed as it is where they live and borrow apollo says he. we're going to weather update next here on out to syria then campaigning ends in brazil ahead of sunday's presidential election there are thirteen contenders for us it's a two man race. but how greek police fail to prevent the killing of

a braca at the hands of a hit man from a far right party. hello again well we are seeing some rain showers here across the southern parts of the caspian clouds moving through back who and over here towards tehran of the next day rain is going to be on the increase we do have a front that settling down so twenty four degrees for tehran as we go towards sunday we do think that temp is going to be coming down to probably about twenty degrees for you and out here towards quite city well finally down below the forty degree mark we expect to see your high temperature on sunday maybe coming up to about thirty nine degrees there while not looking too bad across much of the gulf region as well as the arabian peninsula but we are watching this area of low pressure in the arabian sea very carefully this is making its way towards the

northwest and it is increasing in intensity by the time we get towards next week this could be our next cycle oh now very rare across this region to see one so we could be watching this very carefully for the potential of a landfall anywhere in oman yemen maybe up here towards parts of pakistan as well and then very quickly want to take you down here towards the southern parts of africa not looking too bad for much of the area temperatures are into the mid to high twenty's for many locations but over the next few days into sunday we do expect to see maybe a little cloudy activity coming into parts of your history as well as durban but for cape town it is going to be a nice spring day for you with a temperature of about twenty five degrees. he lived in brazil's largest for valor. one day the police came for. like thousands of others he disappeared. witness follows

democracy will be heading to the polls on sunday it's one of the most divisive elections in brazil since the end of the military dictatorship more than three decades ago in america and its use in human reports now from sao paulo. this son of lebanese immigrants to brazil could not be more different than the left wing legend whose place he is running for president of latin america's largest country less than a month ago former south america fed nanda had dad was really seen. as a running mate a soft spoken academic by the side of the popular and charismatic former president but with a new lead now barred from running as he serves a twelve year sentence for corruption and dad has been forced to step into his shoes if he can. we have received a mission from president lula a mission to look into the eyes of the people and remind them of the time when together we built a very different country. dad was listened to cation minister

and promises to return to the days when the workers' party implemented social programs interested millions of brazilians from poverty that memory has helped transfer some of lula's popularity to had. especially on the industrial outskirts of sao paolo with the workers' party was born. to the p.t.s.d. part of the working class that gave us dignity before d.p.p. we had no access to credit cards we always took buses never an airplane. dice doesn't know much about had that only whom he represents. have dad's biggest strength is also his biggest weakness he needs the support of these workers who are part of a lot of hard core support base but that means he can't this in some self from a former president who are millions of other brazilians identify with this country's worst ever

a corruption scandal. that themself is under investigation for taking illegal campaign contributions in two thousand and twelve a charge he denies and although he's regarded as a moderate within his left wing party it's a hard sell. i think a dog is no fool and would not be a toy in the hands of his mentor but right now he needs to stick to lula's image to make it to the second round. but as his followers chant is had dad and had dad is lula the unlikely candidate has little time to convince the undecided that he wouldn't be the puppet of an imprisoned former president you see in human sao paolo final campaign rallies in bosnia and herzegovina being held ahead of sunday's presidential elections concern has been raised about the divisive rhetoric used by political parties in the one up to the vote the balkan nation suffers from high unemployment it has a complex political structure where three presidents one sub one chromosome one

matching material from eleven security cameras to precisely time coded police dispatch recordings they corroborated what prosecution witnesses said they were saying from the very beginning that the police was present on the scene and did not intervene indeed we found that we found out that they arrived at this thing about five minutes before the murder took place the defense tried to have the analysis thrown out but the courts deemed it admissible we can see. groups of people attacking somebody who is obviously was at the time of the of the stabbing or at least two policemen. being at the scene around five to ten meters away every meal so the killer passes right through them right in front of the two police officers who stood here evidently hadn't realized what happened because of the stabbing they tried to arrest the victim rather than the killer it's only because told them he'd

been stabbed showed them his wounds and pointed to his killer but the killer was the rest of the tall golden dawn's leader and members of parliament were indicted on charges of running a criminal organization under the guise of a political party and faeces family lawyers say the precise time coding now proves the organized nature of the crime were there with what the video confirms is a symbol tiniest arrival of the golden dawn members because we see eight motorcycles with two riders on each and three cars with passengers arriving as a convoy all of them turn down the street where faces his friends are except for the killers car which circles the block and then returns to kill face us the video proves the arrival of dawn was coordinated they had a plan which suggests a party conspiracy you can set this up in twenty minutes police won't comment on the new analysis because the trial is ongoing but there is now powerful evidence that this killing was carefully orchestrated and politically motivated and that police were unprepared for violence of this kind jumps out opal us al-jazeera

sophia there's something the venom can now be sent to all of our three finances is not limited to being drawn. to. sometimes it's very painful. sometimes it can eat crap. you can't deal with a threat to human life unless you know it's that and that means detection is one of the most important parts of any health professionals work but here in east africa many of the most sophisticated diagnostic tools from genetic testing to nuclear imaging simply too expensive i'm dr john in tanzania where scientists are busy

turning local pasts into a crack team of disease detectives. africa's giant couch rats have an exceptional sense of smell and a dose on nature which nigger's e bay and his colleagues at the charge of popo harnessing to save lives. look at these rats the huge that even have names so here's this this is more you got a huge rat called mojo in his songs ok and this is a specially trained rat trying to do was thinking on his mind's detecting run a mile. every morning the rats are taken to nearby training fields to practice sniffing out the explosive agent t.n.t. in deactivated land mines. walls have left many african countries littered with millions of land mines and unexploded bombs. clearing them is notoriously dangerous slow and expensive. but a perch here a rats what ten times faster than humans alone ought to like to set off the mines

and will work for peanuts or in this case bananas. in training the rats scratch the ground where they think they smell a mine since two thousand and eight the rats trained here have cleared over nine hundred football fields worth of heavily mined land in neighboring mozambique that is just the goofy ice for when i benefit from q. which is making a significant impact in the natural fifth of the word to show you the office. as they've done so well at sniffing out mines the rats exceptional noses and now being put to work on one of africa's deadliest diseases so you just want an avalanche you know trying these rats to smell is really in the history hypocrite doing this merely to detect some day it is so it's a something new every week sputum samples from seventeen to be sent to sterilize for safety then stream to the papers lab which is the first in the world to use rats to diagnose disease so these are real actual tuberculosis skeets and samples

from local hospitals yeah this source what i'm sometimes called elected from suspected to be patients and all the samples have already been tested in hospital but outdated methods mean many tb cases unless those that have been confirmed are left in to test the routes accuracy but only one technician in the room knows which is which for all of the bars. and all the positives that he to hand this to pay i don't know the pollution and the rot doesn't know it and how to just say that's what we call double blind tests no doubt it is created to sniff . the technicians one to see whether the rat scratch or even the confirmed cases and if they suspect any other it's. love. it was you. so it indicated it was no one put it the click followed by four

followed by food and number so by indicators but it was the most polluted from two percent so he said suspect so we don't yet know that it could be positive if you put the wrong things it is now ten percent over just finished yeah wow how long would that have taken microscopist. detroit says a single technician twenty five something that day by day here it's twenty five some pills a day and this rat did ten and ten sound person a minute that's ten fold fifty fold on you can do the math that's very much for. the rats cartney screen at around eight hundred samples a week and news of their work is sporadic so i'm going to introduce you to janet janet is a former t.v. patient. here and want. to conquer some us attorney. civil liberties you know when looking for.

lesson in fall and see can we have a magic pill not full. of virginia and day. also you need. to fall. back to me at one point and then. every week the rats fly got dozens of samples missed by hospitals which are then retested using a purpose up to date methods so you might really prepared this smears from this put them someplace else where it indicated by that's the focus is suspect so he's going to stay in this smears so that sort of counter staining acid creation process make sure that the only the bacterium itself picks up the color and everything else in the background will fade in deep cover so that when you look at it under a microscope it's fair we all were. so here is the microscope here zero zero zero. so you know we turn the lights off so we're in the dark because this is

a fluorescent dye and so the bacteria actually glow in the dark so you can have a look here this is a look. right. this is there's a lot that i wouldn't even have to count that took me a split second to see that is at least two hundred three hundred bacterium and that feels like so that's that's really nice to see the rats have got it right you know our rats i think astrid she she she actually got a suspect case there that is actually positive and that would have been missed with the ordinary diagnostic tools that we had in the community so that's brilliant more than two thousand six hundred patients were missed where the tb clinics but by their rights and confirmed here. since two thousand and eight the rats have improved tb detection rates by thirty percent and with forty five new clinics to join the program next year these extraordinary rodents are set to save thousands more lives. coming in pushing. for someone anything getting tough

on people. living with traumas can make everyday life to these involuntary muscle movements a fact simply to stop writing or even drive a car i think i'd love to have the medications can and the fact that if they don't work an invasive risk of brain surgery is often the next step i'm dr elizabeth here in ohio yes i did find out about a new procedure they use it's not a static and the incision it's surgery without. the most of my life fifty eight year old sonny has suffered with essential tremor and you're not going to sort out the causes involuntary muscle movements. so it's things like create abnormal activity deep in the brain causes shaking which is

especially noticeable in the habits and something that can be extremely disabling i'm not very fond of if i could try and i think that was the last one i was able to do i can't do them. sunny how long have you had essential travel at. least since i was very what is it worth did send both my hands. it's in my head especially if i do any and to mouth motions i only drink out of a straw and not. going to someone's house to eat unless i know the last little well that i just i don't do it i just don't do it brushing my teeth it's a nightmare i've damaged my gums again and tell you how many times. i haue scars all over my hands cooking can you show me what your writing is like. ok. that's hard work for you isn't it for the tramp through the table yeah

can be very strong. so i can just make that out where the aim is sunny has the feel when your body is doing something that you can control. is this very painful. sometimes it can make me cry. because there's so many things i'd really like to do and i know i can do but i'm not. because millions . invasive surgery and radio surgery can be used to target effective cells that cause tremors from within the brain but these procedures carry significant risks surgeons and scientists at ohio state university's works in a medical center are now trying a completely noninvasive technique focused on just how does a new technology. uses the power of all the songs to go through the skull and meet at a central point within the brain and we ever hear from all these beams combines

together it is powerful enough to all of a small and the size vision of the brain is a bit like when you use a magnifying glass to concentrate light rays to burn something will start fire yeah absolutely so what are the advantages of this procedure over the current procedures for such a main advantage or forest or just already is it being given on a razor to show without opening the skull patients are overweight and you can look at their specific tremor while they are drawing objects or writing an immediate feedback that you get is a key part of this procedure that allows us to be accurate while the patient is still on the table so excited that i do indeed is. sunny is just the seventh person to undergo this new procedure at the what's new

medical so. just call it a clinical trial. ok so the sun is pretty much all set to sort of go into the machine the can't go in the film in that box will turn seven and this is kind of the control sunset this is the point it's question obeyed manipulating the controls to to get the facts he wants. to be deconstruction of the sun is. known on the unions. as you go through the state you can see the sins on the stone a lot of don't shine and you shouldn't have a throne and once you're in for this oh and your seed bring show you. this is the part of the brain you've identified to be are there and you can see ultrasound rays the coming in from the different elements can merge into the smaller of the brain.
