7:05 pm
bring people back and just the, the list goes on it's, it's, it's, it's quite a bright enough for right now, but it's far from close to being over. sadly. and then never mind all the rebuilding suspend, you know, as you would imagine, just a constant stream of information and bits and pieces throughout the last couple of days. and today i heard a lot of, you know, just the need for food, the need for food and gas for generators. the power is out the waters out. and people again can't, can access, has limited access. so. and then of course, um, you know, the, the stages for there's, there's been a huge effort to help all the visitors. i think it was in the last 2 days over 25000 tourist visitors helped to get off of the island. so, you know, it was, was one of the issues, the initial stages, hundreds of cruise support. those have gathered near a french by some nation that will serve voicing and the west african block. a co
7:06 pm
was leaders agreed to activate the stand by military full, soft, uh, holding an emergency summit and a boucher on thursday. defense checks will meet and gone to next week to discuss the plan. the african union has extended its support to a co bossed instantly. she is military takeover as well can we have is monitoring developments for us and send a goals capital the con no can. what's the latest on the grounds and these you blue is just a short while ago that hundreds of protests has gathered outside, a french ministry bases near the apple, the near the cafeteria. i made an upfront, that evacuated soldiers from one of its military bases. that was outside of the city. if you understand there was still some french soldiers in this space near the apple weather. now hundreds of people outside cheering and shouting, as he mentioned, cooling full fronds and the co us to stand back and to leave. and to, to leave them
7:07 pm
a lot know from said it had evacuated all of its citizens from nisha 8 days ago. but we understand this still a handful of soldiers left in the space near the apple knots. who these protest as it demanding should now leave. and this obviously happens at the same time that it was placed its full size on stand by. what's the latest with them as well, the african union is just said that it would support ecos is a decision to any decisions that they make it well. so expressed concern about what it's called as the deteriorating conditions of president the ousted president. how many but assume eco us. a heads of state to the meeting on says they said that they would proceed to put together a stand by force. the minute you choose to do to meet next week. i still don't know how many troops would come from which country. most of the leaders would still have to clear this through. they read governments to,
7:08 pm
to get permission to be able to deploy minutes resources in 2017, when they to us, deployed a force to gumby or it took about a month to put it together. and that was a relatively simple deployment into the account beer, which is an enclave of senegal. whereas the deployments and these yeah, it would potentially be a lot more ambitious and a lot more complicated list to accomplish. just spend rushes, one is foreign ministry has commented on this possible deployment, saying that a regional deployment would have a stabilizing effect across the whole, the stabilizing effect across the whole region. okay, thank you so much malcolm. that is milk, and with, for us in the car the ukraine's president below them is the landscape says he's firing a regional military enlistment offices up to a nationwide inspection of the already. so i think 112 criminal cases,
7:09 pm
including bribery and illegal border crossings, those who want to keep the army rank so is cases should go and find russian troops on the front lines. is the name of c homelessness, wayne, gloomy. if we dismissing all regional military comments on the system should be run by people who know exactly what more is and why cynicism and bribery at a time of war is high treason instead. so just been through the front line or who cons to be in the trades just because they've lost their health loss of their lives, but have retained the dignity and have no cynicism. they can be entrusted with this recruitment system. well just here a step voss and has more on this from the ne, ukrainian city of hockey's we, i've actually been investigating this case in the last couple of weeks and we found out that to landscape definitely has a huge problem here. we spoke to a special investigator and he told us about a real system in the whole line of these military recruitment agencies,
7:10 pm
including medical doctor, us, dreyfus, people all involved in these schemes. and basically what happens is, of course, your brain needs a lot of sole just now a lot of people are dying on the front line to counter offensive. it's not going as planned, but what happens is a lot of my don't want to slide. so they bribing these officials, they paying according to this investigator up to $3000.00 to get a ticket, the white tickets sold to say, which is sort of a medical certificate, showing that they're unfit to fight. we also spoke to one of the people who don't want to go to the front line and he said, it's not only about rivalry, but there's also a lot of other things wrong with these recruitment officials they're using for us for using all kinds of verbal abuse. so there's a whole system and polanski is not only battling this on the front line against russia, but also internally baffling. this corruption a nationwide. and they told me the poland says it is sending $10000.00 troops to
7:11 pm
its border with bellows. tensions between also and mintz, which is russia's l i has been rising recently. poland says to battle russian helicopters briefly, incidents is space last week. the government is also concerned about the border area since hundreds of wagner missing res. arrived in belarus as part of it till the end of the mutiny in russia in june. some of injected has more from poland border with belarus. this is being ratcheting up for the last few days ever since poland announced that it is going to be sending not just 2000, but 10000 foods to supplement. supposed to got on its board to a fence board of it better is already have a for defense motion risk because it does only just fee is legally migration. but it also is afraid that there might be some wide new mercenary who might try and we can it is also to make sure that those
7:12 pm
a legit border incursions which various denies pulling says happen. do not happen again, and is there is a, an appropriate response from the, for this side as well. so as we are hearing from the polish government about how it is building up, we've heard from the benediction side for the 1st time today, the president alexander electron go telling his prime minister to establish contact with the polls. saying that they're ready for talks in negotiations. to diffuse tensions only if the phones are ready to do so themselves. so it is interesting that all of this is happening as the border between ukraine and russia becomes a grinding place for both armies. no view events taken at it, movement taking place there. this seems to be the board of a pull and says that it is a fighting for nato's war and making sure that nato is border is protected against russia, and it's outlined us presidential biden has also the congress for
7:13 pm
a multi $1000000000.00 package to support you crimes will if it's, but it's proven controversial. let's go to mike hannah, who is in washington dc now and mike, what's the reaction thing to biden's proposal? but once again, it splits along party lines. republicans launch lee are opposed to giving more aid to ukraine. democrats and suspect it's necessary, but it's not a completely clear divide. there are some republicans who continue to sole support ukraine. the situation is though, has shifted from last december, which was the last time they find in the us congress for money, for ukraine at that particular time, and pause congress and are completely bipartisan basis very quickly. it's different now that has been resistance among republicans, particularly in the house to providing ukraine the small money. and what's compounding the situation is that the binding administration has put this $13000000000.00 for ukraine into a wide,
7:14 pm
a supplemental package of some $40000000.00, which also has other aspects of funding a government spending and coming months at border security. disaster relief. now adding a lot of these factors in to the ukranian aid gives essentially the republicans more to oppose within the, on the bus bill itself. so it's going to be very difficult for the bite of the administration to get this through congress. like i will, given all of that, it's just how likely is it to go through and when might that happen as well? congress on your returns in mid september, that will be a vote for this off to that particular time. a lot can happen in the intervening period. so if me from the senate point of view, the senate majority leader insisting that there's enough bipartisan support within the senate to pass that act. but that's not as clear within the house with the house, because the republican has made very clear that he's going to oppose this bill and
7:15 pm
is going to get many of his followers to do so. for the democrats in the house. the key issue now is to create a bi partisan blog, which will turn that backs on what the speaker is saying, come to get up with the democrats, and thereby get the majority in the house to pass this on the bus bill. but it's going to be a very difficult period with a lot of trading is going to be going on in coming weeks between members of the house and members of the senate in a bit to full net called block i bipartisan called block. second, pause the package as a whole, including that's $13000000000.00 for you. great. okay, thanks for that, mike. that is mike hannah for us in washington dc who bosnia and herzegovina state prosecutor has filed an indictment against the leader of the country, semi autonomous region. it's the president of the red x refusal to implement decisions by the e you appointed hi representative. his government also says that will refuse to follow the constitutional court rulings that ex alleged violations of both man and

7:25 pm
the legal legionella bacteria just gave us more evidence to the the many come pages . they say that they spread, the stock kind botches is completely unsuitable as a how is asylum seekers? in fact, the was already the subject some investigation. when it was housing asylum seekers in the netherlands, previously 20 asylum seekers refused to get on the barge 4 days ago. and one would imagine the mall will refuse to get back onto it. after this happens, what happens to those 500 people that were meant to be moving on to the barge and, and what is the future of the budge from here? a while the immigration minister, robert general, because apparently chairing me things a to try and to try and handle it this crisis that been caused by him to go after just a couple of days ago. he described the apologize perfectly decent accommodation. the home office is handling where these 39 asylum seekers will be housed while this
