5:02 pm
a given the fact that those helicopter and we're trying for several odd to lower by saying one of these pressure for jessica mondo's who initially dropped food and water to that uh, cable call, richard dangling on one side. and then i made several attempts, but because there is another cable, richard about 30 feet above the cable to call the helicopter, getting marked on low because there is a risk, it may hit that gabriel also right. never the golf course drive to move fluids or through the cable. got it, started the script with the pressure from the road to play a job daily dropped off. also not forget doing that. this is a narrow riley, a high rains in that place, which of course make it very difficult for the pilots to be able to stabilize that deadly dropped off of the buckets on the, especially the 4th in the martin,
5:03 pm
the m sherry page. and but the drum uh to uh, the door would be this rescue efforts some encouraging news, although it did not dog. there's an engineer who knows about this gable, guys. he said he's willing to warrant their door dam direct. you also try to be interesting to see whether this operation go down uh throughout the night. all right, did really be suspended 10 foot lights. so yeah, as you say, it's now dark. how is that impacting operations? do you know, as well as normally helicopter or ad croft do not fly android mountain. this area is that i shall be that godaddy golf tag. again, not the function, oregon, nor did allowed to operate. however, with nitrogen and equipment red light, they've doubt in place. they all put ation could possibly continue to out the night, although that looked like
5:04 pm
a difficult proposition at the moment because of the constraint of the area. and everybody, of course, really bring the read the whole i'll be going to in such a mountainous area, they can be sucked in rain. all of a sudden they can be a, i speed waiting. so all those factors of crowds have been working against old, especially the 4th is come on those who are trying to read your, those children, and that teacher. yeah. so 2 people have now been rescued. does it? does it follow from that that the other 4 can be rescued using the same technique, or is everything, you know, our plans being reassessed? i suppose on a minute by minute basis. right? there are several options of god, the helicopter being the only why, but option uh, but there is another option that, that read an engineer added wall in getting how he's going to get to that area
5:05 pm
where this capital got a dangling is going to be a difficult to talk so they're working out the options, but because of dog helicopter operation may be hampered. nope. gotcha. uh, the uh that go efforts. uh, video games are trying to model what, what is getting be done. this is a very difficult situation because the cable got a dang, they got pin made there. you'll get an order on direct go from the ground. you cannot reach them from the ground. so the only why, but option is to have somebody either get through the cable using some of the, the waving cable to go along and then some i'll be able to do, man is some sort of a rescue of a different good and challenging and dating operation to save the lives of those children by the buckets on these pressure forces come out. thank you for all that information. all those explanations. so as we speak,
5:06 pm
there are 4 more children and 2 adults who remain trapped in that cable cable car in the caper puts to quite a northern pakistan. thank you. come off and we're getting some more breaking news . this time from greece, firefighters have found the bodies of 18, suspected migrants in an area hit by a major wildfire authority, say the bodies were discovered near shack in the northeast, in alexandra russell, this region there have not been reports of missing people in the area. so local authorities are investigating if the victims were migrants who enter the country from neighboring turkey a. let's go straight to athens and speak to alpha 0 as john. so rob list, john, what more can you tell us? a welcome under 5 services saying that there are no reports of missing persons from the villages and the towns around the forest in the evidence region. the reason between greece and turkey, where this fire is still raising. and the cry brigades deduction from that,
5:07 pm
is that these may be documented, migrants across the street address for the ends of greece. and because out in this part of which is very, uh, national park and therefore not very frequences. how things are they, the attention of police who have the reputation of taking people that could be turning them around and sending them back to turkey. and this is something, obviously the refugee is a trying to avoid. so that time in many cases to make so i went to greece, detective dispatch security. so obviously with tragic results here. local media, i make a mention of possible a possible 8 for the bodies, bringing the test to to 26. but that has yet to be confirmed. this is a 5 and for a test on monday, early afternoon, we're told that it has now joined up with a different fire that had been raging a like some group. and so. ready since friday,
5:08 pm
and which had almost been frozen to control when high winds back up on monday that combined 5 from now we're told 5 we will gladly fund is a 110 so long as he's long all ready over the weekend. there were dozens of vehicles, hundreds of 5 sizes occupied in the area. it's not clear what for the results is the greek fire service has been able to bring to pass. because these are very hard drive. and when do days in greece since sunday and already on monday there was 63 reports of you fires with back and one of those periods where the thousands of fire votes every day. it's around to now for sources the full size that was immediately then they can spread very rapidly. and these conditions are there was an interview on this very from the government spokesman and said that never before has greece had this many days during the summer period with a level 5, which is a top level for alert. uh, it's been, we've had 10 days to teach ways,
5:09 pm
but many more days than that of level 5 prior life. so greece is always breaking you records. ready uh, there's a lot of discussion about whether this is the effects of climate change. a lot of people assuming in that light, certainly this is the harvest july on records here in greece. and there is a lot of the law i'm about when the country has the resources necessary to deal with all the fires, the other fires also in the mediterranean region that may not be resources, despair to come to greece as a so um, even today we're a new car broke out on the outskirts of athens on mount funding, so there was somebody repulsive houses running on the outskirts of the city. so as you can imagine, there is um, a state of grace law across the country. now. all right, jump start off with less reporting from athens. thank you very much. the head of
5:10 pm
the port type part, the set. that's how we seen the will become plans. new prime minister, earlier on tuesday for her appointment is a text and shinall wad returned home and was immediately sentenced to serve 8 years in prison. tony cheng reports from bangkok, tex interested in what emerges on to tale soil for the 1st time. in 15 years. the 1st order of business today of floral offering and to neil ingratitude before an image of the king. and then waves and smiles flanked by his children. he drank in the name of a quick handshake with friends and supporters to minutes of freedom. the whole thing was the way that's a concern about his them back inside the terminal. to me, the police it is to pull to is a still out here and, and find boys that come out in the thousands to welcome him home. and all this time,
5:11 pm
besides i yes, i am very happy. i have only wanted to see him coming home like yours. maybe the country would be better. now do you come here today and we are very happy. why? because he comes back to todd involuntarily. even if he has to go to prison die, and that was exactly where the former prime minister was head of his crowd to support his way to the outside. the supreme court texan was driven inside 3 guilty verdicts in his absence is to be so then as most pulses chanted outside, he was driven into plum prim, central prison discount a sentence. but how long will you spend? and so many think a deal has already been done for an early release. that testing might have made some sort of agreement in order for him to be coming back. and in order for him to, to sort of bring some of the issues away from the parliament and from the court. which of those issues include the formation of a new government and finding
5:12 pm
a new prime minister the debate that was taking place in parliament across town of the several months of stalemate, texans political allies. prototype, say they formed a ruling coalition with votes coming into the normally it was clear the ministry bank sent it to my approve top. so that's how it's how we send a property. developing tycoon confirmed thailand's new prime minister, the techs and should walk from his jail, so they still be pulling the strings. tony chung hilda 0, think of. i do want to go back now to what is our top story this hour, and that is the cable car that is dangling off with a single cable in northern pakistan in the province of kiper, but to inquire for children. 2 adults still in that cable car need urgent rescuing . 2 children have so far been rescued an offer as a rescue effort is under way. well, joining us by phone is nadeem. i met a retired sherman of the india may. that's pakistan's national disaster management
5:13 pm
authority. you're joining us from islam. a bad sir. have you ever been faced in your time heading the india may with anything quite like this? no, i don't think in the history of a disaster management such as even trinity has ever happened to me if the issue has been employed to take out people from the child left. this is the 1st time it's happening. what are the unique challenges involved in an operation like this? as a foster, you'll need to understand the to the mountain, this area and within budget on bit of the valley, which is called a lady valley and uh in mountain valleys. the biggest problem is the change and rent better trim of getting very popular stables, making sure that the man who has been sold the plane blows to the chest, lift to combat. he can lift the boy and then take him back to the helicopter bath.
5:14 pm
is that your challenge because the when, when not to allow you to sign up, they stable that one place. so it's very typical we have been doing such operations . you know, when people are stuck in mountain, the people that step is that it's not easy. but this is a difficult thing, and 2nd thing is the behavior of the people who are left to be that you at all, you know, yes, click them. they had an authentic, some of them are not going through retros. so even that's like this, the mistake by the guy was been blamed dropped to pick up the children or by the diet. what the fuck in the field left again. does that mean? what does also but the what so far that has been done by the i think off the pilot . i think it then take them out to uh and they have, i been gone for the 3rd one and i just pray that the, the boat, they fly with nitrogen ball goes that they should be able to get the of this
5:15 pm
operation already like that. now. so that's what i'm going to ask. the son has said it is dark and minutes past 7 o'clock and type of to cool. i 7 pm. yeah. um, are they going to be a continue? you mentioned night vision goggles. does that allow them to continue this operation at the same scale and of the same rates? to my understanding is that the both the special services global personnel and the army addition bindix, they are determined to try their best to pick out all the people in the one boat. but the problem is that everything is not in depth until it's the the, the, when the visibility to the final will be there. but the visibility with the people who are stuck in but the do you have left is not there. we're good on your or so to just in the most say i take everybody out in one go, do you mean the 6 remaining people in the cable car to air, lift them all at the same time?
5:16 pm
no it's, it's not possible because it's one by the plane will allow only one person to replace jo equity next to the traveler. then he can take one percent of that. he can lift one percent of his eyes so it won't be possible for them to take up all 6 in one goal. so how do you think they're going to approach this now, given that it's night time? yeah, that's a huge challenge and i was like you skeptical that they will be able to pick out all 6 because uh no i uh i my social that would be that both the special operations and the evolution guys that summer did that there was big old all the people, you know, in the one boat, but it looks very, very challenging to me because of this dobbs mess and the windy conditions that we have in the valleys and i'd be mounted up please. and can you explain that a little bit to our viewers? what is that kind of decision?
5:17 pm
what goes into that kind of decision making? because naturally our viewers will be looking at this thinking. well, you know, we hope that the 4 children, 2 adults were in there, can be rescued right now as the 1st 2 children were. but now that it is night time that carries dangers and you've referred to that for the pilots. and for all the people who are in involved in the rescue operation, and those are very real dangerous. you're not there. pick it up to the edge. they will. uh, i think they will hit the envelopes. they may cross the envelope, but i think they would not compromise on the safety of the b. that's good also. but people in there uh, you know, stuck in the chip, but there will be a time then they will have to call it off and a lot of them will stream it beyond the permissible envelope. i think that would be cool. all right, sir. you are the former chairman of the indian made pakistan's national disaster
5:18 pm
management authority. nadeem i met thank you very much for joining us on the program. this our are still ahead on elsa 0. ukrainian drones target the outskirts of the russian capital. briefly, shutting airports for a 4th month and overwhelmed with nowhere to go. migrant stuck in libya are forced to camp on the streets of tripoli. the the while the monsoon rains are backing off through buck this gun. that's where we begin this weather report. so plenty of dry conditions, up and down the country, bit of a stiff window for a southern bucket, strong garage, you're looking to see wind gusts about 50 kilometers per hour, but the monsoon rains are intensifying across northern india really rate across the country. so from the northwest in him, actual per dash right through to the northeast and are natural protest. keep in
5:19 pm
mind dark of the blue and the yellow. that's a more intense rain falling again as it was not to rains, intensify on wednesday. monthly range of also prompted severe flight advisories in the southern philippines, mid now island. and after trying, i gotta show you this. what weather hanging around. such one, providence getting straight with solid bands of rain here. and then with this patch of what weather off the east trying to see that is just being driven into the korean peninsula. so there is likely to be some flooding here. well this the other day, tokyo sites 21st day. so far this summer with temperature is above 35 degrees, that's good enough for a new record. but with some what weather in the forecast on wednesday of the temperature is down to 33. for this part of southeast asia, it's fairly quiet, but we've got a bit of rain running across for new island on wednesday. that's it. that's off. we'll see you again soon. take care. i the

least 4 children from the cable cars stuck 300 meters above ground. they and 4 other children along with 2 adults have been dangling for hours after one of the cables snapped. firefighters have found the bodies of 18, suspected migrants in an area hit by a major winds. fire authority, say the bodies were discovered near shack in the northeast. in alex, on trump of this region, the head of what type part, the strength of tennessee will become thailand's new prime minister. earlier on tuesday, former prime minister techs and shinall was returned home and was immediately sentenced to serve 8 years in prison. the president of south africa says that he shares views with china on the expansion of the bricks. group of countries. several rema pose a greeted chinese by the shooting. paying for the brick summits in johannesburg. leaders from brazil in india are also discussing expansion of the alliance. it already accounts for 40 percent of the world's population and a quarter of the global g. d. p for me to millers in johannesburg. to explain all
5:22 pm
of this for us. let's talk about these plans then of these expansive expansion plans to meet at who would the bricks likely bring in well, i think that's likely to be a vital topic of discussion in the coming days in terms of the criteria around who they would that much to the group, at least 14 nations, have expressed interest and it ranges from cuba to saudi arabia, iran, the united dyre of emeralds, also many african nations, from combos to good born to the republic of congo. and i think what is the key here is also the emphasis on developing nations. no, critics have said that the bridge school thing is one that is potentially loosely tied together, may be no sort of from uh, identity around who the members are at the moment and potentially who would they would that much. but we know what country like russia would be looking for great to
5:23 pm
connections and alliances and ultimately bricks looking at a sort of a rewards all of geo politics. what these countries may have in common is perhaps wanting to move away from wisdom dominate to blocks. we they have less of a say and also what would be attractive to countries wanting to join. griggs is that it could potentially provide development finance as well as increase trade and investment. so these are some of the attractive points for these potential members is not to be clear, consensus from the existing members of breaks around who will be admitted. and if in fact they want to expand, we know that india is having some difficulty around the some countries that, that are concerned around their power. well, they're standing with the group within the group being diluted. but a country like saudi arabia has been backed by russia and china. the country comes with a full mass of oil reserves. so does a country like you go on?
5:24 pm
so these are likely to be factors that would make these applicants very attractive to the break. scooping reporting from johannesburg, somebody to miller. thank you very much. i to the united nations mission and that's gonna stand, has documented 800 cases of serious human rights violations. since the tell a band take over 2 years ago. the abuses include torture disappearances, in killings of former ask in government officials and security forces despite a taliban em misty for workers and the previous government you have can foreign ministry denies allowing any extradition traditional killings? well, earlier i spoke with the us chief human rights officer, enough kind of stands you on a fraser. she says human rights abuses have been recorded across the country. the human rights in body include extrajudicial, kidding, incidents of all the tree arrest and detention incidents of georgia and you know, treatment as well as in foster care disappearances. when we've spoken to victims
5:25 pm
that relative and visit the community. we have also had that many people who fall within this category a very fearful they don't want to leave that home. and we also have cases where a relative speed of individuals know, 9 way into the narrative, just have gone and individuals to themselves, to be held incommunicado, detention. we have documented these cases across the country. and uh, we just also see that the fact that the, i'm going to do that the telephone themselves announced 2 years ago. the fact that it isn't being held is creating a lack of confidence in communities the why. so we need to see more action being taken by the differential authority to out how general the and the key
5:26 pm
role that it could play in contributing to men do society to the decades of conflict. and i also spoke to the telephones, ministry of foreign affairs, spokes person, abdul cohart bulky. he says, any harm done to form or government employees or isolated cases of personal revenge . every single government has individuals that are involved in corruption and other illegal activities. we will not go to the extent of denying such reports. what we are denying is that this report is not documented. it is not substantiated. it has not been to instances have not been shared with the ministry of foreign affairs, which is the point of contact for, you know, my and others that have not been corroborated with the relevant departments. there's 44000000 people living enough to understand this. not only a few 1000 and security personal, there was a nearly 400000 uh,
5:27 pm
security personnel. all of them are here. and the son, majority of them either working with the departments in the minister of foreign affairs. there's not a single former official or government worker who has been fired from his position, their work to shoulder, to shoulder with, with us within the government, off of understand none of the lives of fretting. i think these are cases where people would like to portray threats and there has been very credible reports released by international organizations that demonstrate that some of these cases and threats are not actually true. and these are made up stories to seek asylum abroad. the african union says it is suspending need here from all activities and it's urging all countries to refrain from giving any legitimacy to as cool leaders . it's nearly a month since the military to pose the democratically elected president mohammed by zoom. the you is also warning against any interference in african security affairs
5:28 pm
by any outside or is including mercenaries and private military companies. of hundreds of sit in these refugees are camping outside a u. n. building and the libyan capital, tripoli. they say that they're in desperate need of assistance that are accusing the un refugee agency of not taking adequate action to help them. some have been stuck in the country for years while others or recent arrivals from sedan store for region. link train that has more on this from tripoli. they want to be relocated to a safe area. i mean, especially these new arrivals. i mean, they fled by ones of, you know, extremely afraid. we spoke to a lady just a few minutes ago who uh, fled some down about 21 days ago. uh. she has 5 children. she was separated from her father from her father from her husband and brother. uh so she, you know, she's here if she's their phone will they need assistance and uh, you know, they,
5:29 pm
she told us that's, you registered where we're just about 400 meters away from the u. n. refugee agencies, the registration center. she said she registered, she received help once, but she said it's not enough. i mean, you know, you can see, these are women and children, dozens of families, your web fled and, and travel a, a long distance is to get here, but they don't feel safe. they're sleeping in the streets in front of this you in building and they say they're not receiving any help. some of them have told us that well wishers would been well wishers have provided them with water and food. but it's not enough. they want assistance and they want help as soon as possible with the instability in the region. i mean, we're seeing the fighting in sudan. we're seeing the military coups and niger as a way. so it is likely that a larger influx of migrants will continue moving north towards libya and they're
5:30 pm
dealing with their own problems. they're all political divisions and in security for themselves. so it's very difficult for looking at stories to help these foldable people. a russian says there's been a new wave of ukrainian drone a tax over night in cross new york just outside the capital. a drone was shot down, crashing into a high rise apartment block. it caused might of damage with no casualties, reported must go airports, halted flights for several hours. rush instead of jammed another to drones near brianne. it's going to southwest the . this is l 0. the major stories were following this. our army commanders have rescued at least 2 children from a cable car stuck 300 meters above ground. they and 4 other kids along with 2 adults have been dangling for hours after one of the cables snapped.
