1:11 am
in nearby with some sinking up to twenty feet on the ground well the disaster really spokesman says up to five thousand people might still be missing after the disaster and that significantly higher than the original estimate under thomas has more now from village. it is a big increase in the government's official estimate of how many remain missing but put this together by talking to community leaders and village leaders about how many people they think are still unaccounted for in two big areas of this city to talk about and here in ballarat right now could be some double counting going on or it could be that people escaped moved to other parts of the ways and didn't tell anybody where they go and so we should add those have got nevertheless the government to be saying five thousand people may remain missing well that would push this death if the number were confirmed to be dead not just missing to triple what we think it is at the moment the government has said that this area of the city will be turned into a forested park people will not return to live here will be
1:12 am
a memorial park essentially they said as well that they will significantly wind down the search for bodies because after about two weeks bodies of the components to the point where they can't be recognized anyway and they are frankly leaving them in the ground thankfully in their graves the government also revealed that they knew all the local government here and you back in twenty twelve that this part of the city was subject to vulnerable to liquefaction. voting will soon be over in bosnia and herzegovina with polls expected to close in the next hour it marks the end of a divisive election campaign country's rule through a complex power sharing system involving seen presidents in two regional parliaments split along ethnic lines it's the legacy of a peace deal following the balkans war in the one nine hundred ninety s. which killed more than one hundred thousand people tension remains between the bosniak and ethnic groups and unemployment is also very high so serious economic
1:13 am
issues as well david chato is live for us now in sarajevo david what's the campaigning been like. well first of all i want to give you some some of the latest news we just got some figures in showing that the voting level in republica which is the main serbian entity is at forty two percent and here in the federation of bosnia herzegovina is down at thirty five percent now this is significant because the point is that the man who's running for the serbian post in the exchanging tripartite presidency is a man called miller a dirty now he has been fighting a particularly strong campaign which is emphasizing the ethnic divides now he's going for the position as one of those three presidents and he actually is a supporter both of the right of and carrots the convicted war criminal and he says
1:14 am
that he is essential for independence if you like a session away from the very country that he's supposed to be standing as a president for so this seems to be and this is an important point from these figures that he's getting out the vote much more than they are here in the federation of bosnia-herzegovina and that is not good this is been a very divisive campaign has been marked by corruption marked by bribe being marked by intimidation and blackmail marked by the fact that at least in two cases people have been found carrying large lumps of already filled in ballot cards it's something the monitors here have been calling a chaotic situation but looking at those two figures it looks as though it's a dangerous possibility that the man who wants to see from from this country is doing much better getting his vote in than anyone else here yes and of course we have to wait and see how the results unfold but clearly. managing to
1:15 am
mount a very serious challenge what could that mean for the future of the country are there fears if he manages to maintain his lead. well the point about that is essentially that he could start attacking the very institutions that support the dates and a peace agreement in some way that he can strangle off and to disintegrate the institutions that make this at least a struggling state it might be but at least a state in some form and i think because he emphasized the divisions he emphasized the war criminal of the legacy of that war criminal and praised it this is not good for the future of these various no matter how many how many votes are cast it's very clear here that the political parties and their electoral machinery have hijacked this country and that all those votes will mean nothing and that all the people will lose especially if the former president of the republican serbska
1:16 am
actually gets in to the trapani tripartite presidency where they swap jobs every every eight months so that is not good news but we'll have to wait and see as you say for the final polling figures but it does appear he's mounting a very serious challenge and that will be a challenge for the the whole state here and the entity and the accords that were formed at the stop the fighting in one thousand nine hundred five thank you very much with all the latest from david. polls also in cameron's presidential election will be closing in less than an hour's time incumbent president paul barry is seeking a seventh term in office after thirty six years in power election is being overshadowed by separatist uprising in english speaking parts of the country earlier three armed men were killed by security forces in the northwest region algis areas have a war going has more now from the capital alan day. voting is underway in cameron's presidential elections here in the capital yangon day but the same cannot be said
