summary meant to be action designed and is still not be offensive. and for 2 weeks straight and difficult for adversaries if that's not read in their own water or who are equally difficult for the handlers of. the meter pointer to track and monitor are there also want to see some marines off guard a considerable threat to anyone as he included such as. submarines the other not equipped with any kind of ability to send distress signals when they're in trouble and break the sort of stealth profile of essentially aa and there are mechanisms with more standard summaries of it that signals have been sent out and much shallower most of them so it is. an order of senators the. congress

shape the events physical challengers are walking see what i put your. we shouldn't create a very dense very mediocre and really makes it difficult to translate any song. so we're talking about 20 years ago kinetic and the key one are real. challenge conducting are being able to detect electrical if i put you through. that for it's also going to be so. the challenge you are piecing is likely to cost the submarine question mark once who is our grammar are very far more more than. probably wrong. are which is really a challenge for such a scheme trend which is why yes and the the indonesian navy said they have detected

some kind of magnetic profile of out in waters 600 to 700 meters deep i mean at that sort of level can people be rescued from a submarine if not can there least get oxygen into them very very important questions i mean. it's a very very challenging fortunately. illusional dorothy signed what we should riemann hypothesis or well in this the or only true part calamity like it's a marker for civil war to share our audience so it really rescues lawson's brought to bear situation so as we speak it is our very. the people he puts on duty by are the best local rescue it's

really one of its kind. and that's on but we try to cheer him on getting that people be on staten island once the skippable if there are this is such a rescue people actually make sure. it's a summary it is actually happens of what we're all you know hoping for the best but i have to ask at a depth of 700 meters will the submarine not collapse i mean its structure just fold in on itself. it's very. somber thought but these are obviously each of us i mean the harsh reality is yes sorry it's so small . it's not that certain we all. are caught the last 3 decades but still this isn't the it's not going to wear and tear so i think it is that it's a prospect that some of the army have no. damage and they're

all our concern hot oil spill. which is one of the signs of all. and that's the case and i think he must use normally where the submarine already flooded with water or some of the finest with dry. meaning survivors off the compressions that crap oxygen i distance running up and he saw all of us and hope that some people can come see it on saturday when this our capability this search and rescue people reaches on site. has some good news thanks so much graham on web. rockets have fallen near baghdad's international airport according to security forces in the iraqi capital at least 3 rockets hit the airport complex near a military base housing u.s. personnel there have been no reports of damage or casualties israeli forces have

security forces what they say has spurred their decision to come here this jewish group is that they have seen videos posted on social media of young palestinian men attacking jewish people filming it putting it on social media and since those videos have been posted we have seen sporadic. or more standardized now going over on the palestinian side of this protest people scattering once again and so this is where most of the. clashes between in the skirmishes between palestinians and the security forces have been going on in the sort of amphitheater area just down there with the smokers in front of the damascus gate as i say that's been going on to one level or another. for some days now the difference with this night is that they have been confronted here by jewish anti arab groups and the security forces have been trying to separate them with some mixed success with injuries they
