was leaving behind not only damage from the winds but from that powerful storm surge that made its way several kilometers inland leaving much of this island including the airport and much of the infrastructure under several meters of water from all well tell us about people who hopefully are getting some relief we mentioned that the infrastructure has been damaged a lot but something is getting through to those. absolutely as we mentioned here in freeport the waters have started to recede so the main airport has been rehabilitated flights are finally starting to come in the same is true for the island of albuquerque treasure key is sort of the main staging area for flights that are coming in beginning to evacuate people when we left yesterday there were hundreds of people on the on the tarmac waiting for their chance many of them desperate had been spent one or even 2 nights sleeping on the tarmac at the airport because there weren't enough flights when we left abaco search and rescue

teams were starting to arrive to some of them many of them bringing aid that is a main concern right now which is the shortages of food water and medicine but that is starting to arrive when the biggest concern are for the places in in abaco and grand bahama that haven't been reached yet because of the damage to infrastructure because of the damage and roads are debris blocking roadways there are places where search and rescue teams have not arrived and we have heard from people that there are that there are people missing at that there are there are dead bodies that have yet to be recovered so. even though these search and rescue operations even though these delivery operations for disaster relief are starting to arrive the challenges remain for getting people out and for recovering recovering the bodies which is why there is an expectation that the final death toll i believe the term is staggering that's to be expected. more up close and freeport in the bahamas thank you so weather warnings are now in place for oregon dorian makes its way up the u.s.

europe were to deliver the promised sanctions relief dorsetshire bari has more from . another step back from the 2015 nuclear deal but a step forward for iran's nuclear program the latest phase of iran reducing its commitments further to the agreement with 6 world powers is its most serious and technical one yet. more we started lifting limitations on our research and development imposed by the deal it will include development of more rapid and advanced centrifuges we have the capacity to enrich uranium beyond 20 percent but we don't have any plans to do so for the time being this is where the more advanced centrifuges have already been installed as a friday than a tense nuclear facility is now capable of enriching uranium at a much faster speed since the united states withdrew from nuclear pact in 2018 and imposed a series of harsh sanctions iran has been reducing its commitments to the deal

president has and rouhani announced this latest phase on wednesday but said all these changes were reversible when and if the european countries who signed up to the deal up held their end of the agreement that would include protecting iran's oil exports from u.s. sanctions. what you are saying is that they can go back to that but they really don't want to and one parent trying to do is to get some more leverage and these are the. 3 models of the u.s. assume that this negotiation and the stark support to create with my current models a way to honor partners lead to somewhere the acting chief of the united nations nuclear watchdog well head to teheran on sunday for talks with the reigning foreign minister mohammad javad zarif iran has given britain france and germany and the other 60 days to see if they can do anything to salvage this deal and the head of iran's atomic energy organization has told al-jazeera that after the next phase

iran will have officially abandon all of its technical commitments under the nuclear agreement or such a party al-jazeera teheran so you ready i'm enrichment we should probably have a look at what these different grades actually mean when you're writing a mind it has less than one percent of what you would need to use in a nuclear reactor but that gets well it increases as it becomes concentrated so if you enrich up to 5 percent then it can be used in nuclear power plants if you go up to 20 percent it's usable for research reactors or for medical purposes and actually that is just a small technical step away from 90 percent which is the uranium grade needed to produce a nuclear bomb meanwhile the united states says a satellite photo proves iran has lied about the oil tanker released in gibraltar last month the us is the adrian darya one is anchored off the coast of syria despite iranian assurances that wouldn't head there remember back in july british marines stormed the supertanker suspected of shipping oil worth 130000000 dollars

to syria in breach of the e.u. sanctions more on that one hour from washington the shepparton say. for weeks there have been reports about how john bolton has been sidelined in various foreign policy negotiations and discussions in the administration he wasn't included in the talks with the taliban for example in the deliberations about those talks and just on friday there were several reports about how his relationship with the secretary of state has completely broken delhomme that there's a report that the white house chief of staff has been trying to sideline john bolton for meetings about foreign policy meanwhile this week we had donald trump suggested maybe he could talk to the iranian president on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly and then on friday where the u.s. defense secretary talked about the possibility of talks with iran while he was visiting visiting london which perhaps explains some of the wording in this tweet that says we can talk but iran is not getting any sanctions relief until it stops

moaning and spreading terror he's clearly not a happy man in hong kong police have fired tear gas to disperse protesters gathering for a 2nd night in the monkey district of color and police pushed back demonstrators from a police station they were demanding an impish independent investigation over alleged excessive use of force officers stopped another protest from targeting the airports here is a palm with more in hong kong. this time the police and security were prepared last time they came well into the chaos well after protesters had paralyzed the airports and the transportation linking to police complete train change their strategy this time they were here at the airport hours before protesters were due they were here in large numbers and they also instigated stop and searches at young people that they suspected of being protesters and that's basically because the protesters to change their tactics they called on those who were willing to take part in the

movement to come to the airports and try to blend in as toppers to tell them not to wear their customary black shirts masks and helmets and even maybe takes a luggage and print out fake boarding passes so that they could be seen as legitimate travelers so in response what the police has been doing is searching anyone that the suspected of not being at the airport with a valid reason to be at the airport and they've also set up checkpoints at various tunnels and highways and train stations that would take people to the airports and conducted searches there anyone they suspect of being a protester they turned away. earlier a stand off develops between protesters and police at the transit station manager ian brown was there as it happened. well this is normally a very busy shopping mall it's very close to hong kong international airport which of course has been in the crosshairs of protesters once again on saturday the

charges against the former president dropped because when the money was given to him it was given to him as a person and not as a president today the judge listened to this lead to the witnesses from the defense aside and said that all financial dealings every single money he gave away was documented and that they have documents to prove that and receipts to prove that the president did not and spend the money that he received. a witness testified that africa international university which the president admitted giving money to had indeed received money in the sum of 4000000 euros and that that was documented in university records our 2nd witness who was an office manager of the president also confirmed that the president gave him money which he had been distributed to other people. now the charges that are not being mentioned in this trial are the charges against him for inciting to kill protesters demonstrations began nationwide in december now the transitional government which has been formed has said that they are going to try to set up an independent judicial system to hold the

president into account for crimes committed in the water and region of darfur but also in the southern regions and south kordofan but people in the streets have been protesting and they're saying that the whole trial is a sham and an attempt to divert their attention from the real crimes that has been committed not just by the former president but by his government as well they're saying that throughout the 30 years they have been so many crimes committed so many lives lost and they want to make sure that not just the president but those who were his allies and were telling the government are also held to account and they're saying that if that justice is not delivered then they will consider that the revolution that they started is not yet complete. the government of chad is hoping the appointment of a new regional sultan will help and deadly conflict in the east of the country 40 people have been killed since the start of august in clashes between cattle herders and farmers what's making it worse is the large amount of weapons flowing in from libya central african republic and sudan there's been a state of emergency declared in the sea and to best the regions and laura bird
