life fire fighters, they're saying that there's very little they can do with these extremely heavy wind while the world focusing a lot on the tourist. the local, real desperation here about how much they've lost 35 square kilometer as of last greenforest and woodland has been burned, really does resemble and don't want to get in landscape the wrong song. suppose 5 american citizens from prison to house arrest as part of a deal with the us the i'm about to send a business or to save a life from doha. most of the coming up west african leaders activity to stand by military force, which could be sent to crew, hit new jacks, but they say that we're also going to try more diplomacy the

most evacuation everetts continue in hawaii for those stranded following devastating walls. far as present by can choose the way for federal late motion is set to launch is 1st moon mission, since 1976 is headed for the lose subs. told the we're going to begin with breaking news. 5 us citizens have been moved from an a rainy and prism to house arrest as part of a deal between the us and the wrong. may include iran's longest having american prisoner shall make no mistake. he was charged in 2015 for having quote, relations with a hostile state, its initial part of an agreement involving the eventual release of billions of dollars of a rent in funds frozen in south korea. my kind of monitoring developments for us in

washington dc. my once the us be saying this, well, they welcome the steel as a national security council spokesperson saying that these people should not have been imprisoned in the 1st place. also pointing out that this is the beginning of what is likely to be a lengthy process before these prisoners secure the final release. now the swap involves a number of radians being held in prison in america and as well. and this is a complicating fact to some $8000000000.00 in radian funds that were confiscated and were being held in south korea. now, part of this delay is going to be figuring out the logistics of getting those funds back to iran. iran making clear that this deal will not go ahead until the money is back in its compass. now this bill is multi national, that involves a mon kata switzerland, all of whom have been involved in the negotiations and getting this money back from

south korea to iran. it appears that we'll go back through kata and then gets transferred from this. so a very complicated process. but nonetheless, both the state department and the national security council welcoming the fact that the process is now moving forward with the removal of these prisoners from prison to house arrest. mike, thank you very much, mike. kinda talking to us from washington d. c. we're going to go to dosage of bodies. he's joining us for that is from the i reading capital tough on the door. so i understand, of course that is the weekend there. but has there been any sort of reaction from iran about this? you know, we have not heard from any officials so far, but we have been hearing from local media and state tv that has been broadcasting this news. and at quoting, the western media reports that have come out to over the past few hours. but we have been hearing from the rain important minister over the past few weeks. and most recently we heard from near up to la, here on, on tuesday,

you reiterated that iran has been swapping messages of with the united states through amman and cuts are regarding this prisoner swap. and that it was going to be based on humanitarian grounds and no preconditions would be set to. but it appears now that there are some very difficult conditions that are on has set to be the release of $6000000000.00 of pros and funds in south korea. and of course, this is money that iran is owed, and the south koreans have been holding onto it since 2002 a as a result of us sanctions for the oil and gas that they've been purchasing from her on a. this is a very significant development, 1st of all, because it provides an opportunity for both iran and the united states to seize this chance to break this cycle of escalation that if we've been seeing over the past few years and we heard from the reports regarding these negotiations that they'd be ongoing for 2 years. so this is an opportunity for both countries to show

that they have the political will to move past their differences and to force a more common ground at least to de escalate the pensions that has been ongoing in this region over the past few years or so thank you very much, dosage about in from airlines capital to run as well. there were any immediate reportings that runs admission to the un has also mentioned the present a deal saying the prisoners will be released. well, joining us live from washington dc. as bob a slave, and she's a distinguished follow at the stimson center on the finder of the iran initiative. very good to have you with us on alda 0. is this an indication that there might be some, if not, following all relations between the us and around them, at least some efforts to try to find some common ground for communication? yeah, i think it's a, it's a very hopeful sign and, and thank you for having me on to talk about this, this good news. we have had a number of rather worries, some reports about the us sending marines to the persian gulf and so on. so it's,

it's extremely good news and as your other correspondence of pointed out, the disagreement has been under negotiation for several years now. so there been a couple of moments frankly, when many of us thought that we were close. and then some new wrinkle has appeared here or there. so it's really welcome that all of these americans are out of prison now. and that they, they will hopefully be, be sent home in terms of money the, this money will go to the bank and cut her, which has been very active in terms of the mediation. and the money can only be used for humanitarian goods, food medicine, medical devices. iran will not physically touch any of this money. it will simply get various goods that will be paid for from this account and cut are so it's an extremely complicated and delicate kind of negotiation. and that's one of the

reasons why it took so long to, to arrange a bunch of money will be transferred to cut, sorry, will not be transferred to iran. that's a very interesting part of this deal isn't one would imagine that that would not be something that the run would really like to have happen. one would imagine, like most countries, it would rather have the cash in its own banks to, to do with what it will. what does that tell us about the way that iran is approaching this deal? if it is willing to put that money into the hands of an entirely separate country, which will essentially dictate what it uses it for as well. it suggests that a wrong want to disagreement and wanted to de escalate attention somehow with the united states and that it, it sees this as part of a strategy of trying to recover economically from the reposition of sanctions from cove. it from every thing that iran has gone through over the last few years. but let's not get too excited. i mean, let's understand this is still this law,

make republicans, they run, it is still severely repressing its own people. it still has a foreign policy that is primarily oriented toward russia and china. and so it is a very, it is an important step. and certainly for the families, the relatives of those who are being treated as wonderful news. but if it doesn't fundamentally change the nature of the runs relationship with the united states, where the international community and of course iran has a habit of taking more hostages. uh once its freed a bunch of them. it did this in 2016 franklin. uh so we have to wait and see um, but uh for now i think we should give credit to the, by the administration for its persistence. we should give credit to cut our into online interest, switzerland, which were all very active in terms of, of the messages that were being passed. uh and uh, and hope that this is the beginning of the other, deescalate recycle between iran in the united states. i'm just seeing

a line here that we were mentioning before, the quotes from airlines mission to the u. n. but apparently they're also sitting under the deal. the 5 iranians jailed in the us are going to be freed as well, which again, is something one would imagine that iran has been very keen on. do you think that this is a pos way to having further arabians who have been jailed in the us? if indeed, there are any, i don't know if that are moving and being freedom being allowed to, to go back home as well. again, it's not clear that these people will go back to her on a lot of them. you know, they, my understanding is that the offense is for which they, they were jailed. involved sanctions abuse is of one sort or another perhaps helping you wrong get access to some section materials. but they may be for all we know, residents of the united states, and they may not want to go back in previous, such a swaps. and frankly, the iranians in the united states did not go back. so, you know, that's,

that's not the issue. the issue is that they get free from prison, that they are no longer in custody for sanctions related offenses. it is a politically quite a risky thing for the, by the ministration to do because we've seen situations in the past when certainly the republicans in the us and us politics have been very against any deals of any sort with around the moment. imagine that this is putting the body to ministration in something of a difficult position. and i disagree. i think this is a really tough one to criticize and frankly, ident, on, on twitter and social media. and so, and i haven't seen that much push back a little bit perhaps from the usual suspects, but, but not that much, because how can you be you test freeing american citizens who have been unjustly detained in, in a foreign country? you know, it seems awfully churlish, frankly, to take that point of view, and especially when the so called ransom being paid is

a brought certain money which it won't even be able to directly access. so i think it's going to be difficult in a we've seen other prisoner releases brittany griner for example. and you know, and wants to make any sort of reward to regime like that. but this is not a reward. i don't see it in those terms. i see it is getting americans who are unjustly detained, fried, and that's supposed to be the responsibility of any good american administration. i mean, the trump administration also got someone freed from iran, so we should be glad for this. we really appreciate you being with us and i'll just, you know, thank you very much indeed for your time. bother slave and thank you. thank you. the last topic of last april was, is this done by 4, so should be activated to restore democracy in these? yeah, it's 2 weeks since the military is on site seized power there. the echo was amazing

. has ended in a bush were african leaders of condemns the detention of jazz presidents, mohammad but assume they've also said traveled to india will be restricted. and anyone who prevents return to civilian government will have their assets frozen, the committee of the chief of defense stuff, to activate the equity done by force with all its elements immediately order the deployment, one of the aqua stand by force to restore constitutional order in the republic of news yet underscore its continued commitment. the distribution of constitutional order through peaceful means all the dangerous has more from the bush and after 3 fail diplomatic missions, it causes back to why it started more than a week ago. the threat to force and mixed with diplomacy. this followed the refusal

of the military leadership image of the public to negotiate a peaceful and to the political crisis in the country. now, as done by force has been activated by the leaders of the region and look at course, after the summit, you know, who does what this means is that troops from the region could now be ordered to introduce you to the public, to the store caused confusion order and that's according to the president of the commission of the economic community of west africa state is immediate. it's not clear how many number um, any number of course, would be send that who would be funding the the troops or the contingent loss that we deployed to and is here to accompany me while the leadership image at the military leadership media as a point to the print one member cabinet, which is constituted by diplomas as a defiance to the order, so they can have a community of west african states to negotiate or to restore president mom at present the power. now people are watching closely when and how they can on the

community of west africa stays with deployed based troops to news. yeah. the last time it did that successfully was in the going to be in 2017. when yeah, i mean, most of the election, i refuse to handle the power to have been elected president item a battle. it also send this force to the give me be so i've got attempted to restore political stability in the country. how many degrees? i'll just need a boot. yeah. nigeria. example bend. everybody has more from news as capital. naomi . the media, sorry junk has just names and you government directed by that means a minus 35 by 21 members including 15 civil members and 6 direct answer to a cost image. and it shows also that the ministers and stuff doesn't care about it going situations and we'll continue to ignore

a international schools. story is safe, dallas, the president, president and his house iris says that she is living in the very top position without electricity, medicine, or food. the leaders have also accused french forces for faster service in all this. he just you know, as president joe biden is declared wildfires in hawaii as a major disaster, that designation means more funds can be handed out for the recovery effort. at least 36 people have been killed on the island of bali burton victims have been err lifted off the island for treatment. victoria gave him the reports. oh my god, look at the harbor. from yeah, the scalar, the devastation to the town is behind. it is evidence fast moving world sized read through this popular tourist area on hawaii. now we all and with devastating

results. thousands fools to escape any way they could. the dogs, u. s. coast guard rescued. 14 people who jumped into the ocean to escape the incentive. just to fly over ki, head and continue see to see the the burning flames. and that's the 1st and the impact on law high and low, high in the town was just so shocking and devastating. it look as if it's just the whole town was devastated. high wind has knocked down to electricity supplies, cellphone services, and grounded flights on west my way there is no power of general harris team is going to be doing assessments in the area. but right now the roads are still, some of the roads are still close, so it's hard to get to the hotels to find out what their situations are. you brush wise, it sprung up on all the hawaiian islands meteorologist, say hurricane dora,

blowing across the pacific ocean is partly to blame for the strong winds, fanning the flames. they haven't been able to determine what ignited the flyers. so there's, there's 3 conditions that we got from the national weather service, and they call it a red legs alert. so that's the dry conditions, right, so you've got dry steel trees, plants, you got low humidity and high winds. president biden is sending help to the us state. hawaiians say the full extent of the damage may not be known for months. victoria gates and b l g 0 is still ahead and i'll just say that india is probably going to send that. i'm that i'm already waiting was a no confidence voting for them, but he is forced to speak about the ethnic violence in monona for the

tell oh there it continues to be a story of extremes across your weather wise at the moment. we've read warnings out of northern areas scanned and using more heavy rain. that's not helping in no way. we've also got to read warnings out for extreme. he's a coffee i'd be, are in peninsula that's the spain and portugal experience is it's the heat wave of the summit and we'll see that heat. so came around on friday. so 200 degrees celsius in madrid. by such a day it does start to ease temperature is coming down to process at $27.00 degrees this so it's off of about 10 degrees and instead we'll see that heat start to rise its way up north germany. thing temperature is push upper limit 29 degrees celsius . that will continue is 3 to monday, but it's rather a cloudy story here, but the sky is remain dry. that's not the case for the east of this. we've got some pretty nasty weather working its way to bellows up into west and pots of russia. but the weather does start to ease on friday across the balkans. instead,

we'll see more in the rain more in the way of rain start to come through for western parts of europe and into more central areas like germany on, on for a few days of summer. i'm sorry to say the rain is coming back in for person and the island divine and that to weather update of the every thing is being analyzed. it's being, it's being measured. and it's not just by saying that all my sites, i mean they smell things out of the state at the moment. we are in a state of universe with such a good start and did something that was where we would rather take the risk of democracy to the risks of dictatorship, digital dissidence on out to 0, the

you're watching or does it out a reminder of a top story is this, our 5 us citizens have be moved from an, a rainy and presence a home. so rest. it's an initial part of a deal involving the eventual release of billions of dollars of, of any of the funds frozen in south. west african block echo was as activated to stand by military force officer and emergency summit to discuss the crew in new jack. black leaders emphasize with diplomacy is the preferred way to restore the civilian and get you as president, jo biden's declared wildfires in hawaii as a major disaster that allows more funds to age recovery. at least 36 people have been killed in the island of bali. russia is launching is 1st luna,

emission in nearly 50 years. emission was originally a joint project with the european space agency, but the agency broke times with moscow them after it began its ministry operation and ukraine. last february. since then, russia has strengthened it space cooperation with china. so far, only if you're not did states russia and china have money to land, a spacecraft to successfully on the moon all through government sponsor programs. moscow's last, luna emission was in august 1976. russia was part of the soviet union. not there's more competition in the i sent an online space probe to the moon last month to carry out the chemical analysis of the lunar so full united out of amethyst, which opened did space agency 8 years ago. applies to send a probe as early as november and to us companies, astro, baltic, and intuitive machines are also scheduled to attempt to moon landings later this year. off on us, we're going to go to daniel hawkins who's joining us live most. so what does this mean for russia then to both a russian without

a doubt, this is the big come back to major space missions off the quite a long break. everyone is well aware of the tremendous. so the legacy in terms of space launch has the names of got into the chicago come on flow and people leave the house, whole famous names, of course, middle it's in russia and beyond. but also, the soviet union collapsed that i sent my last probe to the moon. back in 1976, the russian space industry really went into a period of decline. they had to put up a new of the former, their new space agency, eros costs most of the stuff with the various difficulties with political schools and on the funding. and rough as latest space landing will planted trolanda emissions and don't do like the 6 and 2011 ended up failing. so for rush. so this is very much proof that despite the long period of tubman and some of the country in the 1990 to, despite the sanctions which of william back to the rush of space development from

20 full table and was an especially since last year. which of isolated it from western technology west than the equipment at western scientific knowledge. this is proof to most of the rustic can conduct major space mission, significant space mix submissions with equipment that is effectively made in rush hour process own brand, to compete on his actual level and to build on that soviet legacy, all but technology of science of knowledge will into the future and propel russia once again into competition now, not only with the us, but with china, india and other countries with best buy use programs as well. and with the space programs that we've been cutting and i'll just say to for, for years we've always seen and as a staging posts, people have always told us that this is part of a development process heading towards uh, further parts of the program. what does this mean for rushes space, exploration plans as well. this

goes not just for russia, but be owned as well for the entire country spiceworks from expiration. because the $25.00 landor, of course is going to spend the whole year on the moon. that's in contrast to india's mood land, which is going to be the roughly the same time. that's going to spend just 2 weeks that this line that has an array of equipment around 9 different, a scientific sense which you're going to cover. what you're going to conduct the really thought analysis of the south side, the south pole of the moon would be difficult terrain, which has really been under explore unrestored. one of the least exploded areas of the closest select still body and why that's important for scientists find this site. but on that side of the moon, there was a lot of frozen water in the craters in the shadows and not could contain elements vital to life. that could contain potentially fuel that could of good thing, oxygen and remove the 3 elements of all the sustaining life which could teach salt investment only about the oranges of life followed. what about the potential for

a future mind mission to the moon? a potential future colonization of the boat, and that's something that russian scientists have spoken all for you that's been for decades in the realms of fantasy and science fiction. should this mission prove successful and bring back the samples which prove the existence of those results? is that good ton of events around significantly improve that in the future? many, many years into the future, but tilting no new rochelle but russia in conjunction with us of other scientific powers like china, like india could conduct a ton to mount on the moon and potential bases on the moon as well as i say, father decides fiction for now, but this could be a small step. so what was that achievement? daniel? thank you very much. indeed, daniel hawkins talking to some of them. this was the government of india. and finally, sometimes remedy has survived a no confidence vote in parliament. esparsa and his allies hold the majority of states. the opposition brought the motion to accusing motors of failing to end months of ethnic violence in the northeastern state of mana, 4,

dozens of opposition. politicians walked out of june. the prime minister of speech moody has promised to restore peace of mind and port and says the entire country stands behind the state. the people of the country have sworn in men's. it's for us in our government again and again. i am here to thank every citizen and so my direct to, to, to the people of the country to 10 days before general elections in ecuador, a presidential candidate, fernando ven, of evincing into was assassinated. president gave him a law. so it has declared 3 days of national morning, but the country is under a wave of violence. somebody essentials reports. the presidential candidates and the young seemed to gun down to acting up political rally just 10 days before general elections. maybe as i'm indicated,

as soon as he got out it took him around 30 seconds to get to the door and shooting started for me. i think it was more than 30 shots. we tried to find where fernando was, and at that point we realized he had been taken to the hospital. he was shot several times. and in the had the sensor was rounded by his body guards and political allies. authority say at least 9 people were injured. the president has announced 3 days of national mourning and declared a state of exception. i thought, appear to be the more main to from this moment the armed forces have been mobilized country wide to ensure the safety of citizens, peace, and the free and democratic elections of august. the 20 police detained one of the suspects in the attack. he died apparently as a result of his injuries. the attorney general says another 6 people have been arrested to a drug trafficking, gang known as logos, has claimed responsibility. we have incentives, party members,

say he had received death threats. yeah. that'd be, i mean, the someone who knows that he received death threats many times, not just once. he said, i'm not afraid. i'm not afraid. members of the movement told him he needed to r a flak jacket, but he said nothing will happen. the, the 59 year old lead the build. it was a little movement, a former journalist, he exposed political corruption of the highest level, including former precedent assigned quarterly i was convicted and isn't hiding. opinion polls suggested the since you would have made it to the front of the election, but i think it probably won't come out. everything seems to indicate it was a plot. it appears to have been planned, and today we have picked the consequences. weird is the security in this country. if a man has fought for more than 20 years, was the best candidate to win. is this the way you listen is a one in ecuador is enough for them? i think i love it. it's eunice. it whether it is experiencing some of its worst violence in recent history, cost by organized crime and drug trafficking. it spilled over into the electoral

process 3 weeks ago, a congressional and the mayoral candidate were also killed. welcome painting. despite the security, the national electoral council says the vote will go ahead as planned on august the 20th monday and ascentis i just see to more than full size and people have in order to leave their homes in norway is strong winds and heavy rain botto scandinavia the rivers have broken their banks of this filing to the highest level in decades. most of the evacuations were in the navy of 40 kilometers northwest of the capitol also power lines of done the hydro electric damage collapsed also its fun. gates failed to open tropical storm economy and has made landfall in south korea more than $10000.00 people, mostly in southern coastal areas, are being ordered to leave their homes full cost as $1.00 of the strong to bring

winds in more than a 100 kilometers an hour. the president's place authorities to be on high a low dr. funding killed, $47.00 people last month. the storms also affecting japan chronicle. montgomery as in tokyo with more overnight, tyson canyon has continued bringing strong winds and heavy rain across the southern japan. in the southern island of chu, shoes, several people have been reported with injuries from falling objects or these powerful powerful wins around 12000 households have been experiencing blackouts since last evening and south. since i've been told to evacuate certain re areas at risk of flooding, typhoid is making its way across south korea, and it's forecast is plastered in major urban areas. some southern parts of the country have already begun to see flooding and have seen rain fall up around $600.00 millimeters as well. and if the typing continues to move as predicted, it could mark the 1st time since we're.
