honest it wasn't because you want to upset people it was just easier i think one takes it as a personal affront that we never told her but it wasn't about her at all it was just easier at the time we were young. like. a government. office and i remember when i read some in a very liberal record i'm not surprised i married was i'm surprised i'm married. if that wasn't my intention ever. in another unexpected twist she and i having to leave the country. is very much involved in southwest africa as you know. my husband being foreign really struggled to get a visa for him to stay in this country but i mean really really struggled took us literally ten months. of constant fighting i ventured to be got a visa which allows him to be in the country basically do nothing you can't work you can't open a bank account blah blah blah blah here's

3:45 pm
some things never change. it's exactly the same. in ways that i remembered when i lift up people just walking the streets getting drunk we saw the very long way to go. and not anyone i've been close to it we should be. there is so much more study should be done that needs to be improved do you feel a need to be part of that process i'd like to be a part that person. even if it's a tiny small bit i mean i think everyone can be part of the process but what do you think the overall. first on and. probably a sort of it's a. very it feels like a whole another world.
3:46 pm
how we can apply this how even if i say that this is where everything happens on a sunday on see myself in someone's that heat from happy where i am now because i see we have a calling. how have you changed since you were severed. from the lives of the children of a part of a twenty one years story reflecting a history of dramatic social and political change. south africa part. zero. hello again to welcome back well across labonte things are looking fairly quiet over the next few days most of the weather has been pushing out here towards the east what we are going to be left with is the temperatures beginning to rise
3:47 pm
particularly over the southern sections and the central sections of iraq's articulate your forecast map as we go towards thursday twenty eight degrees is the forecast high here on third. but by the time we get to friday we do expect to start to start reaching that thirty degree mark here up towards tehran and back who we're still dealing with temperatures into the teens so a little bit cooler for you there well here across the gulf the winds are going to be easing but the temperatures are going to be rising so by the time we get to doha it is going to be on thursday a thirty degree day they have over here towards the dobie a twenty eight degree day for you but as we go towards friday thirty one degrees in doha but clouds in the forecast period and making their way towards twenty seven here across much of mozambique we are going to watch our next cycle and that is kind of making a landfall on thursday night bringing a very heavy rain across much of the area we do expect seeing flooding going all across much of that area but down here towards durban finally for you the rain is going to be easing a lot of floodwaters are going to be coming down down towards cape town though it
3:48 pm
is going to be a nice day if you are twenty one and up here towards part about again more clouds with a temperature of twenty six. americans are struggling to pay their bread the problem isn't just limited to the cities. of all the governor of the idiot central bank has cost the country grows. we bring you the stories that are shaping the economic world we live in. counting the cost on al-jazeera. a country on edge church services in sri lanka suspended as police try to deal with ongoing security threats.
3:49 pm
it's a problem you're watching all just there online small headquarters here in doha coming up in the next thirty minutes russian president vladimir putin the north korean leader. kim jong un say progress was made at their first ever face to face meeting . also three senior members of sudan's military council resigned but protesters say they want all their demands met. and floods and mudslides killed dozens of people in the south africa's cause zulu natal province. welcome to the program security services in sri lanka remain on high alert following sunday's multiple bomb attacks catholic church services in colombo have been suspended but may resume on sunday subject to an all clear now the central bank was locked down following a warning about an imminent explosion multiple suicide bombings on easter sunday killed three hundred fifty nine people and wounded hundreds more meanwhile new
3:50 pm
videos emerge reportedly showing a suicide bomber at a restaurant in the center of a grand hotel in the capital colombo on sunday and he was carrying a similar backpack to suspected bombers identified in other locations police say eight out of nine suicide bombers have been identified. our correspondent joins me now from sri lanka's capital flows over lots of moving parts to this story. for the past four days so just bring us up to speed on how things have been holding all. right i'll let you know what the what the situation on the ground is like now just in the last couple of hours this morning we're seeing a very visible increase in security presence and we've seeing it here on the streets of colombo about half an hour ago we were i.d. checked by air force personnel it shows that it's not just the armed forces and the
3:51 pm
police but also the naval and air forces who are now involved patrolling the streets to keep. people in sri lanka say now of course this is after we've learned that sixteen people were arrested in a special operation overnight but just the day before police have also said that they believe that several people involved in sunday's bombings are still at large for the it's still a very tense situation here the road to the airport was temporary temporarily closed while police inspected a suspicious vehicle and then separately there was a bomb there was a minor explosion in the town of pagoda that's about forty kilometers east from here now and we're still waiting for confirmation on whether or not that was a controlled explosion carried out by bomb disposal experts that have been happening over the last couple of days but it really just shows how tense the situation still is here in sri lanka and in fact the archdiocese's in colombo has said that they will not be sunday mass celebrated in churches on sunday in colombo
3:52 pm
the cardinal will celebrate mass on sunday and he's hoping to get that televised on the local station so that catholics may celebrate mass at home themselves and you can see emergency legislation. has allowed some arrests. you suggested as we mentioned. t.v. footage being released in a limited fashion to try and garner more information about who the suicide bombers were. how they actually managed to execute. the bombs in the way that they did. that's right now police have said that managed to identify eight out of the nine attackers the suit the c.c.t.v. footage that was released yesterday shows two purported suicide bombers with backpacks walking out of the left entering a restaurant and then we see
3:53 pm
a white flash presumably the moment the explosion went off it's very similar to what was captured on a security camera in a church and never got there there was a footage of a purported suicide bomber also with a backpack entering a church so it shows that they had the same mode of operation they operated mostly alone except for the pair in shangri-la at shangri-la hotel now one thing police have uncovered in their operations and was quite surprising as well to intelligence services with the fact that many of these suicide bombers came from wealthy or middle class backgrounds they had been exposed to university education one even had a post-graduate degree they had traveled abroad to study abroad and they had not just been exposed to religious indoctrination so that's going to be a big step for police and security services in sri lanka heads while finding out how these people were radicalized and trying to clamp down on extremism in this country of course was the president taking the initiative in trying to you might
3:54 pm
say keep the lid on any sort of communal tensions by bringing into faith leaders together what's going on. that's right now and this meeting is going to take place later today it's between the preston and inter-religious advisory. and this is important because in the early hours after the attacks on sunday there were isolated events where muslim owned properties were targeted and then on wednesday hundred. refugees from pakistan their homes. some of them were subject to attacks there were these were very few in number but these attacks were enough to cause panic and confusion and fear in this community and that's why we're seeing them flee in the hundred but religious leaders have been very keen to stress that the muslim community should not be targeted in fact when we spoke to the archbishop of colombo yesterday he told us
3:55 pm
that muslims are their brothers and sisters and that the people who carried out these attacks were people who did not have any faith because they had targeted innocent people this is a message of unity and peace that religious leaders are very keen to send to the rest of. the league with the floor. with you throughout the day thank you. russian president vladimir putin the north korean leader kim jong il and have begun the first official summit in the city of lot of all strong. had a substantial discussion of the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. told the media he wants to talk about ways to strategically promote stability and jointly manage the regional situation the two are also expected to talk about bilateral trade. is live for us now in of lot of our stock and of course while the focus for the international community might have been denuclearization. respective relationships of as well with the u.s.

two months ago which were going on between control and donald trump of course both of these leaders really want to gain some very positive more than the publicity they're receiving for this i mean russia wants to perhaps be seen as having influence north korea really wants to show globally that it has friends beyond its own borders. exactly after this dramatic collapse and her noise kim jong il now can't show to the world i'm not isolated i can still travel around i can go meet another world leader and talk about the future of the korean peninsula this is important for him and also to put some pressure on the united states because of course it's not going to like what he's seeing all the smiles between putin and kim jong un today so it could basically put some pressure on the united states to lower demands that's what kim might be hoping for putin it's important because he has been left out of the loop basically for
3:58 pm
quite a long time he had invited kim jong un to come to russia one year ago but in the meantime came first meeting everyone else except him and now he is here and he can show that he can play a role and that he could be a mediator in the conflict for the moment so we'll leave it there thanks very much service and vladivostok. letter to africa know these protests leaders are increasing pressure on the country's army by calling for a large rally to demand a civilian government three senior members of sudan's ruling military council accused of a crackdown on protesters have offered to resign and this comes after a meeting between the militaries leaders of the coalition of protest organizers and political parties the council says it's reached a deal on most of the protesters demands both sides of also agree to set up a committee to iron out disagreements after talks broke down earlier this week but there's still no word on whether and how soon the military will hand over power to
