5:06 pm
time will prove whether the taliban will deliver on their promises. one gentlemen, i was talking to work as a civil servant under the taliban government now, because a lot of the old guard having to be off the ministries because the taliban fighters, they simply don't have that kind of experience saying that he had been paid a salary in 6 months and he said that things have never been so desperate. so yes, on the one hand, many people remain, you know, very questionable and skeptical and scared of the taliban. but the other side of it is that people will tell you that it's the economy. that is something that is making them want to leave this country. developing story out of hazy for you now where at least 16 christian missionaries in the u. s. and one from canada, glo with the family members have been kidnapped and run their way to the airport in the capitol port a prince. when they were taken by armed men in the area of gambia, eighty's and your years of economic and political people, of course, and situation any worse. and in july, after the assassination of the president's an update from my canada following this
5:07 pm
one from washington d. c. what more do you know, mike? welcome all the situation in haiti. serious indeed indeed, since you mentioned that assassination of the president ivan and marci back in july, there's been a 300 percent increase in the number of kidnappings. more than 281 people have been kidnapped in the past 3 months. so the assassination clearly linked to the up swelling of criminal activity within that country. now this follows on friday the you in voted to extend its mission in haiti for 9 months. and just a few days ago, there were us officials in haiti discussing how to support and bolster the national police force, which clearly has been struggling immensely now. and this particular incident details scarce at the moment, it is believed to be one of the biggest gangs that's been operating in haiti and recent months, accounting, say some observers,
5:08 pm
for more than 80 percent of the number of kidnappings that have been carried out. it's the same gamma, reportedly that kidnapped a number of priests back in april. so this is an ongoing situation at the state department is not saying very much about it here in the u. s. it says, obviously it's following events very closely. are the question of whether there's going to be some form of us security involvement in releasing these missionaries that's open at the moment. it's known within haiti that the whole concept of foreign presence within that country is deeply divides the population, the presence of the un. any possibility of newest stepping up with security activities within that country may provide a further spark of division within a country that is already deeply divided, but the criminal activity clearly continuing to mount these missionaries, 16 of them, 16 americans plus a canadian at his reported. it's also believed there are number of children who are among that mission regroup. well, this is just the latest in
5:09 pm
a series of events that shows exactly how troubled and how criminal ridden haiti is at present. my cannon without uptake from washington d. c. thanks mike. in sri lanka, hundreds of fishermen are protesting against what they say is poaching from neighboring india is that the livelihoods are being threatened and demonstrated by sailing dozens of boats flying black flags to the northernmost point of the island nation. they want the government to enforce a 2017 law that would prevent indian fishermen from encroaching into sri lankan waters. least 19 people have been killed off the heavy rains caused landslides and flooding in india's careless state. these are the worst floods since 2018 when more than 500 people were killed, teens from the national disaster response false are working to save those to endanger. more in this report from the hunting streets turned into rivers entire hillsides appearing to melt under heavy rain,

5:12 pm
an excusable credit for the transfer public. but there was a really, i think, personal tweet from a french historian been said, how can you recognize the responsibility of the head of police without mentioning the words precinct, police, government, colonialism, racism. so i think the french government, they always take a half step, but they never really fully go through an apology, which i do believe that a lot of us are that times implicitly that they would appreciate stella had thrown out of their attributes, continuing to put in for david m. s, the british empire killed while meeting his constituents and my syrian refugees and turkey facing a rising tide and a phobia with hello,

5:16 pm
china has tested a new hypersonic. miss sile that can carry nuclear weapons and be difficult for us defenses to detect this is coming from an investigation by the financial times which says the test action took place. in august, the u. s. russia and at least 5 other countries say they are working on similar technology. hypersonic missiles can travel 5 times faster than the speed of sound. and even though that slower than ballistic missiles, they can be more difficult to track. they fly on a low trajectory instead of going in a, in high arc. and therefore more accurate can reach their targets faster. couple things i want to show you about those. this is, 1st of all from the center for strategic and international studies in washington, d. c. this is their missile defense project, a bit of information on the dung fang at 17 o. hypersonic missiles, china's showed these off before we know what they look like. we put them out on the display like this quite proudly these pictures coming from october of 2019 but also
5:17 pm
with keeping an eye on things like this. this was a washington post investigation which found china building a 100 new missile silos in the west. and that this is for those big intercontinental ballistic missiles, looks like a flat plane of area of air. but those dots representing all these new silos from which these intercontinental ballistic missiles, can be launched, a china with a seriously large arsenal. baron, andy mach talked to us about this, he's a fellow at the center for china and globalization. and he actually thinks china's hypersonic missile tests could have positive implications for the reach of the public release of information on this hypersonic wide. this is very important from a number of perspectives. first of all, it apparently caught us intelligence by surprise. so i think that's an interesting point to note here. but i think 2nd, perhaps most importantly is the geopolitical locations in this. because as we all
5:18 pm
know, ratcheting up of tensions in the asia pacific region, that this is become very dangerous and stabilizing. and i think in a testing a missile like this can improve the stability of the region by reducing the possibility of how to asia. because i think there is a very old danger that the us miscalculate. and again, if the intelligible indeed missed that this to be to a very dangerous situation where the u. s. could stumble into a conflict that would be disastrous. and i think now that this is become widely known, that it enhances stability in the region by reducing the likelihood of miscalculation conflict. morning have continued to visit the site where a british m p was stamped to death on friday day. the name was meeting members on
5:19 pm
the public in lee on see when he was attacked. police have now extended the detention of a man arrested at the same. last time we spoke to rooper huck who was a london based in p for the labor party. she recently traveled here to cut her with david amos as part of a delegation of british and peace. this is death means further changes to m. p. security is inevitable. i would like to think that this is a very isolated incidents. but you know, that's been seen in my, in the arm. and i mean, i think one of the see, i'm gonna get to make this happen. i measure a friend fully jericho, again, similarly shopping in 2015 my advertisement. anyone can come through, did they get? this is the point rooms. so we have the name and address of every coming. and i
5:20 pm
mean, we're supposed to call them at least they actually ever go after after break march? 2020. i mean, i think police, they have the take all can be quite often and very low. yeah. so the group of people, i think we need some sort of compromise security and bullet proof. but at the same time, if we just go over the weekend. but individuals been held and an agent town of comm spoke for 5 people killed by an attack or using a bone arrow 3 other people were injured in that incident on wednesday, a suspect has appeared in court and the governments announced an independent

5:22 pm
against the entire political system. they wanted to move away from the sectarian system not to have been governing lebanon for decades through one that was more civic in its nature about 2 years on and actually lebanon seems a lot more sector factory. and then it has for a number of years. and we saw that point over those protests on or the fighting, rather on thursday where there was a protest by the movement. supporters as well as husband supports the she r block against the judge, who's responsible for the investigation and the deadly they would loss of before it's over. roughly about a year ago, they were upset some anger that the judge has called a phone or some their ministers and not to minister from other sex. and as they marched through the streets, 7 of their supporters were killed. who then transpired, that's actually the lebanese army, probably the only states institution which is somewhat intact in what is all
