a single day chased out of their country under gunfire. their leaders killed militia instead of laid siege to elgin enough for 2 months. they say now all the control, the capital of west are for exhaustion relief and perhaps gifts. i don't know where my children are. she says i had to leave them behind the blame the rapids support forces which denies their involvement and alternate. i know it's not he thought we left behind. the situation is very, very bad. this. i lost 22 people from my family and 15 of them were children. the sudanese government didn't help us. they see what is happening and just watch as birds. my whole family is back there. one group began their journey was thousands. only hundreds arrived. far too many of them, unaccompanied children picked up by strangers along the way. something has changed

at this border crossing. everyone we seen so far is arriving on foot. there are 4 more observable, more men and boys in the crowd. now, what tribe, they're a part of whether they are civilians or fighters. none of that seems to matter. here. now there was only human stuff or many had to stop before crossing over too tired to injure, to keep going, no one to help them. and as night falls, as the sounds of gunfire come closer, they are still in harm's way. or coming time in quite a sort of me is the un humanitarian coordinate to force it on. she says people in the for urgently need assistance. we have 8600000 people in dial 4 and the needs are considerable. the reports coming out from there is that there is kelly. people are in a dire need of health medicines and food in wsp has been able to take food into,

into cartoon. but tough for is an area we have not been able to access and there is significant fighting. we need to be able to bring in stuff we need to be able to get agreements so that we can move along the routes, our trucks that are presently in parts of the country can make their way to dial 4 . and on those trucks we can put urgent medical health supplies. this is impacting our ability to scale up if we can get timely issuance diseases. if we can get the clearances that allow our trucks and our teams to move, then we have the make the ways and means of speaking to the various uh, uh, forward to use uh to the communities in a way that will allow us to move these items along the roads and access stuff for to you and then to aid agencies according to urgent accent, to prevent more debts of the sinking of

a migrant. both talk greece on wednesday. 78. people have been concerned that like hundreds more still missing, including many children. the greek government is under pressure to explain. it's rolled in the sinking products on devise reports and emotional reunion at the greek port of call him out of 18 year old mohammed was pulled from the mediterranean on wednesday. now he's been found by his brother who travelled here from the netherlands. mohammed has been in libya for almost 2 years before he made the dangerous journey. so we'll see. i know is a theme of 18. the 18 i the in the, uh, honestly uh, muhammad was among, up to 750 people believe, to be packed onto this fishing boat. when it capsized, only 104 people were rescued. most were from syria, egypt and pockets done. it's an agonizing wait for their families back home,

the russian, the smartphone. well, we want us to hear his voice. make sure he's okay. if i'm sorry, if he's wants to force him, let them, let them come back among us here. because we're in hell since the day this happened . i think we have another thing coming as soon as my brother, according to the boat, you said 50 people to see me out. and they were putting 750 people. he said he sandra plus central. we've taken water. i told him to get off. don't go. and he said the mafia doesn't let us get off. they have guns, they have nice. there were forcing people in. some survivors and officials have claimed the boat capsized after the coast guard attached a rope to it. the government denies, that's what caused the sinking and says the passengers refused to help the tragedy into sports protest across greece. critics succeeds the government being completed by not creating safe and legal ways for people to seek asylum. the

un human rights chief is calling for action. the high commissioner reiterated. he's cold to states to open up more regular migration channels. and hans responsibility sharing ensure arrangements for the sites and timely disembarkation of old people rescued at sea. the number of migrants crossing the mediterranean has doubled compared to a year ago. the survivors of this shipwreck are being assessed by immigration authorities. and if they're not entitled to protection, risk being deported, alexandra buyers, alda 0 us secretary of state anthony berlin can is it traveling to china and the loan today? diplomatic visit? who was the highest ranking whitehouse official to visit? joining us since present to the fight and took office earlier than the trip was postponed after suspect to the chinese, it's finally been entered u. s. s. base. earlier this year on an official report from washington dc. they

won't be putting the balloons out for secretary of state and to be blinking when he touches down in patient relations between the us and china, out at the lowest point in years. this trip was due to take place in february, cancelled after a chinese spied balloon flew over the us and was eventually short done. intense competition requires sustained diplomacy to ensure the competition does not fear the confrontation or conflict is and again, that is what the world expects. adults, the united states and china. this trip is aimed at stabilizing relations between the world's 2 biggest economies and strategic drivers. in recent weeks, the us as clean the chinese jet, performed aggressive maneuvers need a spike playing in international airspace. and that coming after chinese worship allegedly not only avoid the collision with the us destroyer in the taiwan street. the trip is looking to set up systems to avoid similar incidents,

to keep any reaction to just the water works until they blinking goes with a shopping list. he wants to hear about china is peace plan for ukraine. and to arch them not to give military support to russia, he will also talk truth taiwan, human rights on what china regards as us efforts to hold back and say we conducted industry. you know, there are, there limits to us influence and, and lever. and certainly when it comes to it's, it's rivals and competitors like like china. that indeed, you know, even if the us is hoping for a certain outcome, amazing is going to be entailed by its own interests. which of course, are often times at odds with those of the united states to buy met because the g at the g 20 in indonesia last year, their 1st face to face spite and one the white toys since then. china has said to us must stop interfering in china is internal affairs and still palming. it's silver into security and development. interest in the name of competition,

the americans are playing diving. the idea that the blinking visit will lead to a summit between the 2 presidents, either either the white house or in beijing, but it will lead to other top level meetings. and that suggests that the tension between the 2 superpowers is easy. but not yet going away. alice, for sure, i'll just see that at the white house. ross, find gold is a political risk analyst focused on agents. he joins us via skype from that type a welcome to the program. so. so what was extent, do you think this is a genuine attempt from both sides for some kind of full invitations? the interesting thing about that question is i have from the bodies administration, i'm sure they would say that they're acting with a genuine desire to produce change. and that's very common for the bite in gene i was common for the obama administration where many of the foreign policy officials in the body administration. i previously work there. they're a big believer in engagement and discussions, whether that's with china or iran,

for example. unfortunately, things don't always work out so well simply because you're having a discussion and the criticism they're going to get from members of congress. and others is simply that the, the timing is still not right for this kind of visit. but again, the actors, the, or the mindset for the body of ms. tracy and seems to be as long as we're talking and it doesn't matter whether that's the secretary of state or the secretary of commerce rather us not really officials at various levels. what about the sticking points there? that tensions in the south? china seeing issues eva taiwan. so that's the day, right. as your report indicates, the number of issues that are on the agenda are numerous. they cover a wide range of areas. whether that's an area of a direct competition or even confrontation, such as in this, i'm trying to see over taiwan,

different views on human rights to trace. but also other issues um where uh the us in china are pursuing different policy goals. and ukraine comes to by north korea and iran, and more recently, china is activities in the middle east show. yeah. you bought blinking. i'll be there for y 2 days at most. uh we, we deduct that fine whole spend meeting with us embassy staff having meals amount of time. that is actually in meetings and then bar a long list of issues to discuss. but ultimately means that any particular issue, frankly, won't get a lot of discussion time. a long list indeed, i mean from china is point if you presume they may want to raise issues over us, paris, on chinese goods and sanctions on high ranking officials. for example, a good a my raise that of course the blinking, i'll say, well, i'm a sanctions department. go meet our commerce secretary or our treasury secretary to

talk about that. there. there is a very difficult issue that's been in the news recently, which is as the host of the pac sun, that waiter this year will be us to allow the chief executive of hong kong to it to attend the meeting. because he is under sanctions from united states, but where is blinking might be working to raise a long list of issues. from the chinese side, you're going to spend a substantial amount of time talking about timelines and us weapons sales to taiwan or their government to government new direction between the united states and taiwan. that china doesn't work. sure. so although the us might bring up this long list there, i think a, as is usually the case, china is going to bring up the taiwan and spend a lot of time on that bestbuy and go with a bit this thanks very much indeed for joining us now at least 25 people have been killed in an attack on a school in uganda. it happened in, in conway, a few kilometers when the board with democratic republic of congo,

police have blamed fighters from the online that democratic forces. ukraine's president's has ruled out negotiations with russia during a meeting with african leaders on a mission to broke a piece that i guess and meant to present with them as a lensky and keith. he told them, piece dog. so any possible if most go withdrawals? it's forces from ukraine, entire tree, from k u for history. now, of the 7 nation african piece initiative led by south africa's presidents, serial rem, oppose and send the goals. president mackey so arrived in ukraine by train from neighboring poland, a journey now customary to visiting dignitaries, less old and right was what happened next. as the delegation was being showed mass graves in the city of butcher west of keys a short distance away in the capitol itself. an el rey deluxe, sounded followed by loud explosions of air defenses as the ukrainian f. o says 12 russian cruise missiles was shocked at the sky. this was damage caused by folding

debris, notes of keys. it's believe to be the 1st time i miss all the time because targeted the capital ended surrounds why world leaders have been visiting. it is also the 1st time that any peace initiative has been brought before the leaders of those countries pulling talks with presidents that lensky the delegation hits the russians to be president. that'd be me a booty. we're here to listen to listen both to prison zalinski and tomorrow would've been listening to prison put, to reduce so with deep respect for the people of ukraine, which we have expressed to president lensky. but also in recognition of the proposals that they have put forward as a piece for me to be i frequently just called for confidence building measures like prisoner swaps, and the free movement of grains and fertilizer exports. as

a prelude to more concrete steps, such as the escalation on both sides and respect, the soap in buddhist but presidency, lensky sounded less enthusiastic, demanding nothing less than a complete russian withdrawal. but i see you. the names are the long, the name russia is the only source of war. and the only reason why the consequences of this was causing damage to the whole world, to different nations on different continents. nobody can feel their board is all protected. well, the safety of the people isn't, should, so long as russia is attempting to make their regression. and the abduction of all people, something that is normal. surely, the withdrawal of russian forces from ukraine is the only thing that can stop this war weakness. it's a position from which the landscape has never wavered. for that reason, the fact that a complete russian withdrawal from ukraine isn't explicitly part of this initiative, leaves open the question of just how much support they can play. and they've

actually gone from ukraine when these african leaders put the plan to president putin in st. petersburg on saturday. jo, nicole elders 0 keith delegation will need to president putin in the coming hours, speaking as a form in st. petersburg area. he's one of a wide escalation and confirm the time to deployment of the testicle at nuclear weapons and then it routes high opposite cuz we're going to need to if waste and supplies of age 165 digits are located at a basis outside ukraine and used in hostilities we will have to look at how we can fit and where we can hit those weapons that all use in hosted. it is against us. you agree? this is a serious danger of nato getting further drawn into this on conflict in terms of the what's the head on alex's hair, an investigation into the minneapolis police force. part of the killing of george floyd reveals years of racism bonded and discrimination on the for the pains proposal for mandatory military training. the opens own lives and sparks new
