a list of countries violating children's rights in conflict. alger 0 is in the democratic republic of congo, where a conservationist warren, of the consequences of oil exploration in one of the world's largest rain forest. the hello, a catastrophic implosion is being blamed for the deaths of 5 people aboard a deep sea submersible last seen as a dive to the wreck of the titanic. the west coast guards as an underwater robot discovered a debris fields near the wreck of at the bottom of the atlantic. as gabriel is on the reports from boston, contact with the sub was lost on sunday, sparking and forensic searches those on board run out of oxygen 5 days into the search for the titan submersible. the news everyone had been dreading was finally confirmed this morning and the r o v are remote operated vehicle from the

vessel horizon, our tech discovered the tao cone of the titan submersible, approximately 1600 feet from the bowels of that tie. turner on the sea floor. the r o b subsequently found additional debris in consultation with experts from within the unified command. the debris is consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber. the debris was only a few 100 meters from the wreckage of the titanic. a tragic in for the families of the 5 man on board ocean gate, the owner of the titan released the statement confirming the news, saying in part, these men were true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure and a deep passion for exploring and protecting the world's oceans,
12:03 pm
our hearts are with these 5 souls and every member of their families during this tragic time, with the mystery of what happened to the titan, now resolved, the questions move on to other things. like how exactly was this allowed to happen? who's responsible and should safety standards for risky, deep sea expeditions, such as this be changed since the time when missing on sunday? many concerns have been raised about the vessels, construction and maintenance parts of the submarine. i'd say in the testing in the bahamas just seemed a bit shortly. but what really did it for me was and they finally refused to get any problems certification. and it seemed that they had no intention of getting any certification for going down to those depths. once, let alone several times. questions also likely to be raised about the norm is
12:04 pm
cost of the international operation and whether tax payers will end up putting the bill for the search efforts. for bodies that may now never be recovered. gabriel was on to out as the boston, the james cameron directed to hollywood blockbuster, titanic to has completed $33.00 dives down to the shipwreck. he says, this trip should never have been made. ocean gate should have been doing what it was due. i think that's pretty clear. i wish i had been more vocal about that, but i think i was unaware that they weren't certified because i wasn't really studying it. i wasn't really interested. stockton rush asked me if i wanted to go out there and dyed the season. you know, i wasn't interested search search search for days of search. they're searching everywhere there. they were running around their hair on fire. the sub was right where it was, it was literally on the sea floor below its last known position,
12:05 pm
which is the 1st place you look in. a search is the last known position. you know, go running around all over the landscape with planes and trains and automobiles searching. right. it was right where it was, when it implode, it and i knew that's where they were going to find it. they were on the scent. they were at 3500 feet. they lost coms, and tracking the last one being the critical one. because the, the transponder that used to track a saw it during the stance on the bottom is a fully a ton of a system. it's in its own pressure housing, and it has its own battery power. so for them to lose calls and tracking at the same time. so it's gone. police in britain have arrested and a gyptian who's accused of smuggling thousands of people across the mediterranean. his arrest comes after a migrant both sank off the coast of greece, killing at least $78.00 people. hundreds of others including many from pockets. dawn are also fewer drones, flags above pocket stones,
12:06 pm
parliament's house had been flown at half staff to honor them. focused on the police of arrest, the $29.00 people, including suspected ring leaders of a people smuggling ring. john saragossa was more from la casa in greece. of some of the testimony we've heard the witness testimony from people we've been talking to today. confirms that tragically, there were many miners in the hold of the ship. one of the people we spoke to talked about a 100 young people, mostly teenagers, and mostly from syria boys and girls. somebody else we spoke to talked about even younger children, 3 or 4 or 5 years old. and apparently there was 6 syrian mothers accompanying some of those children. others were traveling with cousins, uncles, and fathers. as you know, only men survived this rec,
12:07 pm
presumably because the women and children were, as has now been confirmed to us below decks. some people say that they were at the bottom of the ship and the whole. others told us that they were on the 2nd level immediately below the top deck. they may have been divided into 2 groups. but the question of whether the coast guard played a role in the sinking of this trula still remains somewhat blurry. because one of the people we spoke to believes that there was no tow rope attached to the troll before it capsized that it did so because its engine had failed. and the like a forward motion caused the ship to sway from side to side, much more violently than it had been. but that it had been doing so throughout the 5 day voyage, simply because it was overloaded, it seems that the engine failure was the final blow. and that that side to side
12:08 pm
motion simply became too great. and the weight weight of people shifted inside the ship. once the, that motion had become too great to another witness. how is that? who survives this rec? tells us that there had been a tow rope attached to the great coast guard, offered it in order to help these people reach shore and then cut herself uh before reaching the show. because the coast guard was apparently afraid that the tone was causing the ship just way side to side so violently. but after that roof was cut off its way even more. so we have conflicting testimonies in this, and this is going to be, i think, the central topic of the supreme court investigation into the great cause good thailand has extradited for if it's nationals to face people, traffic in charges and malaysia. police say they're linked to the discovery of tons
12:09 pm
of mass graves on the border between the 2 countries. dozens of graves and more than a 100 bodies believes to be those of broken gun in legal immigrants were found in 2015 in a jungle in that area. for more on this, we can bring in florence the way. she's joining us from color them pull up more. are we learning about the story for ins as well for time nationals were charged in the court in congress, in northern malaysia, on friday, they were charged under the anti trafficking in persons and anti smuggling of migrants at they were charged with smuggling to me on non nationals and found guilty can be sentenced to a maximum of 15 years in prison in order to pay a fine. now this is in relation to mass graves and human smuggling times that were discovered at the time, elation for the in 2015. this is a very densely forested area and is known as a major stuff of point 4 people smugglers who are moving people from the north, mostly from young law, mostly will hang on for seeking to escape persecution in young law and also from

i will weaknesses on the part of border patrols and found no evidence of involvement by malaysian enforcement officials, public sevens or no calls. now, the 4 men who have been charged in court in malaysia on friday, among 10 high nationals that the malaysian government sought to extradite as part of its probe into this matter. now the full men will appear in court again next month. nobody has yet been recorded. all right, thank you so much, florence for that update from cullum for as for testers, in lebanon's capital have gathered at the central bank, they're demanding the removal of restrictions on their cash withdrawals. so the bank impose the controls to manage the country's economic collapse, and that led to some customers holding a branches with guns trying to get access to their own money. demonstrators also or demanding the banks governor, be held accountable for the crisis. the united nations has added russia's military and allied armed groups to a so called list of shame over violations of the rights of children during the war

we would are hopeful that when he last year said that if they continue with this for addition and this pass, i warning them that they will be consumed to be listed. they continued on the same path. they can more children than last year. but yet, he did not list them. it is very disappointing to the palestinian people. the all the big news from the report is the fact that russia, for the 1st time, is on the blacklist because of its war in ukraine. the report says that russia was responsible for killing 477 children in 2022. this is the 1st time a permanent member of the security council has been on that black list. james, base out his era at the united nations. well, human rights watch and many palestinians are also criticizing that reports and rights groups say that last year. so the highest number of palestinian children being killed in conflict for 15 years. i was a 0, isn't that?

a chance to stuck off on fuel and supplies. were alone way still from the oil sites . but i want to know what people here think about the potential exploration meant up to 50 up at the door. we have not had anything from the government. our life depends on the river. i think these will cause big problems. we need an explanation . our will move on obviously as i passed and we will live in poverty. if this comes, it will help us to improve our lives. a divided opinion perhaps, but we were to find that sense of inadequate seats and indeed opposition to the blocks themselves would grow once we got deeper into the forest. for now, we set up come in, i said, co village as nice places in the, the clock houses here, a democratic republic of congo. the, i will say more about the reaction of communities. there are no peace tomorrow and start today. i've been essentially the 3 main pillars. the 1st is
12:26 pm
a lack of consultation. people just haven't been told about what's going on and greet pc facilitate to this expedition. they tell the story of how they went to one village a year ago, went in there and told them about the oil exploration. and the venice chief said, well this is the 1st i've heard of it. so we went back this time to see that. but this chief and he still hadn't had any consultation to him and his all to, to the whole thing is if um, the, then the defensive. and that could see the government says it has to happen to bring the pull out of poverty. but the people don't trust the government because they see what goes on in the east. this huge mineral wealth is being extracted out of the ground. none of that well gets down to the pool. and the 3rd thing is this vis, through connection to the line from the people they've lived for generations, their ancestors go back, you know, hundreds and hundreds of years. the far as provides food, provides medicine, it provides construction materials that really frightens about losing the land. the oceans and cells vague, go on and there's some good as being and now since july,
12:27 pm
the 3rd. and then when it'll be long from july, the 6th at expiration itself is still somewhere else, but it's still on track. all right, thank you so much. nick clark for that record from control. so as well, scientists and mexico are blaming the el nino climate phenomenon for the 3rd heat wave of the year. hospitals are busy treating patients with heat related problems. some of them failed and the electricity blackouts are increasing. a gentleman reports from the capital, mexico city, a heat wave is searing its way through mexico. one of the longest thing is officials say, they're already been this. and the countries know is being hit especially hard. my younger, i mean the grandiose tomorrow will also hit 42 or 43 degrees and it will continue as forecasted for 10 days to compare to the last 20 years. we haven't had such a long heat wave. this is why we're calling it a typical,
12:28 pm
it's even close the countries energy authority to issue warning. the mets cruise power grid is close to its capacity president under this menu, a little piece of adult. so this has nothing to worry about. and also just some of those pretty meadows, we'd be the 1st one to know what was happening if there were blackouts. but just imagine it's our responsibility that we don't lack electricity. so i said you are, there's no problem maintenance. okay. yep. as long as the local media have already recruited blackouts in a handful of states, these people are protesting the electric power and then neighborhood in the northern city of monterey. and it's not just people who are struggling with the heat. this is benita to draw flips in the sea. that's quite a suit activist for really pushing is getting moved now most of a lot of the quite as little as possible. so yeah. so my answer, i think that adapting a space for him would be the best as it would be more comfortable to bear the weather that's heating our city. and especially with the he way states continue for a few days more in the know for at least as this country struggles to get through
