7:06 pm
a but it got it is. and then we try and position just literally hanging from one gabriel. the conditions are crammed. jordan's getting are more for fear that they may upset the the cable, the goddard said, so you had a ring experience, but the look of determination to get save as many lives as possible. just before i let you go, i wanna make sure we're straight on the numbers. you told us just a moment ago that another student had be rescued. are we now? are we in agreement that that means 3 students have now been rescued? yes, absolutely. 3 students, dagwoods dudley, for 3 students. all right, come, i'll hide a reporting from some of that. thank you very much. 18 burned bodies have been found in northern greece, where wild fires have been burning for several days. the victims were found by firefighters in an area also used by migrants to cross into europe from neighboring tor key. hol, brennan has more. the hills above alexandria, police are

a furnace of heat and smoke and flame. 5 fighters stand toe to toe with the blaze. baffling to push back the inferno. but despite the crews extraordinary bravery, the finest being found by gale full squints. and there is little that can be done to stop the payment. it will just be around the house up the way if i started has completely burned down. there is nothing left. now the father is moving downwards towards the rest of the village. for example, if we could have another fire only fire, that's what we could see. the wind was so strong and no one could do anything. no one can remember. it's here that 5 find is found a teen boned bodies on choose day, a shop and shopping increase in the death toll from these wildfires. this region is close to the border with took yet the far east say the victims may have been migrants trying to reach your in the blue lights of ambulances snakes the way
7:08 pm
through the city and convoy the glow of the advancing wall. 5 grew brighter and closer to the suburbs, but the cities, 2 hospitals, the time for hesitation was passed from one to 100 patients. many of them elderly and frail, had to be evacuated to safety. every available vehicle was pressed into action, even removal, events and laundry trucks. they would take into the cities port, where a passenger ferry has been hastily converted into a floating hospital. passenger lounge now repurposed as a clinic patients placed on mattresses on the floor, nurses tending intravenous trips and oxygen, lots one yet. i really haven't ever experienced this before and not be working for 27 years. it's like, well conditions stretches, scattered everywhere patients here patients that a terrible twilight is enveloped the whole area smoke to attend the mid day. some
7:09 pm
black, the glow of the flames brings no walls, only destruction and death. po brendan, i'll just here to be president of south africa says that he agrees with china about the expansion of the bricks. group of countries. several run a post, a greeted chinese president shooting, paying for the brick summit in johannesburg, leaders from brazil in india, or also discussing expansion of the alliance. let's take a closer look at the breaks the leaders of brazil, russia, india, and china. originally made up the grouping, which held its 1st summit in russia in 2009, and then south africa joined the following year. in 2010. the block is pushing to be a new global voice representing a quarter of the world's economy. a 5th of all trade and nearly half the global population, it wants to counter what it considers a unilateral approach in geo politics, but stresses that it is not empty west. and these are challenging times, however, china and south africa's economies of slowed russia has invaded ukraine. and india
7:10 pm
seems to balance relations with both moscow and washington. but more than 20 countries of applied to join the brakes, including argentina, saudi arabia, annual. so let's talk about all of this with the media miller, who is covering this summit in johannesburg for us this, this expansion issue for me to is really strategic. you could argue on the one hand, it will make them stronger as the aggregate more members, you could also say, well dilute their voice as they bring on board more members, can you pull back the curtain a little bit for us on what that debate is going to be like internally well, we know one country, one member india isn't necessarily as keen on expansion. and that's, you know, compared to countries like china and russia. there's a lot of emphasis on this specific meeting because it comes just off to of that invasion of ukraine by russia. that's ongoing rule. and so now you've a situation where there's a lot of focus on global politics on influence and,
7:11 pm
and just russia, a country facing huge international sanctions. so russia would want to try and broaden its influence outside of the ways to look for allies. it's based on a vote at the united nations wade was condemned. a full that invasion of ukraine. it's phone support. some would argue from countries like south africa because of africa and said that it's neutral on that issue, but also continues to have this deep winning relationship with russia. with regard to that expansion, they are at least $23.00 countries of applied globally. but the interest goes beyond those countries, but amongst them, a countries like saudi arabia, which russia and china supporting. and this comes down to issues around the availability and access to resources like energy, especially at this time with that's potentially could cattails in some areas. but
7:12 pm
also resources from the developing nations, especially with the nafrica today has seen uh, the continuation of a business for him. great to discussions around that investment trade infrastructure development. and so the economics side of this breaks for them is, is really taking center stage and of course will be linked to expansion because it will be about what these put, these countries these potential members have to offer. and how the bricks block can expand trade investments. why you mentioned that the existing ricks membership accounts for about a quarter of the world's gdp, amongst these bricks countries, the existing ones. their trade only goes to about 6 percent. and so there's a lot of room to pay more than the kind of economic cooperation between these countries. so this expansion will likely to in issues like economic and political deepening, economic and political ties. so i wonder,
7:13 pm
familiar with so many world leaders gathered where you are in johannesburg. what influence do they hope to have specifically in africa? we were seeing increasing this content amongst many african countries around how they're treated by the west. again, i go back to that statement by briggs that say this is an ad to with, but perhaps an alternative and way they can do things on their own terms. but they use that discontented montebello amongst developing nations and african nations, and we go back just a short time to be a covert. 19 pandemic way of developing nations didn't have access to things like vaccines as easily as wisdom nations did. and i think this is about changing, re aligning sort of deal politics, creating an alternative and a platform with a as a grades of waste to the benefit of an african nation. so this will be very attractive to nations across this continent with a once a platform where they can say they're say, oh,
7:14 pm
way their voice can be heard. and perhaps is great to ties economic ties with their national interest, us of in a better way. and perhaps when they feel that they're dictated to a list, so i'm not dictated to in the manner that they all by wish to nations. at the same time, a country like south africa, wanting to balance their interest in bricks with these long standing relationships with the waste, with the european union, and do nights and states that the media miller reporting from johannesburg. thank you very much. the head of rushes, wagner mercenary group, has appeared in molly's capital, bama co if get any progression posted a video online, saying the presence of his group on the continent will make africa more free. this is his 1st public address since he led a failed rebellion against russian military leaders in june for goshen also said that he is recruiting fighters because hack has more from the car and set a goal. we're hearing that too large and to enough aircraft landed just an hours
7:15 pm
flight from where we stand in the car, in the capital of multi in bama co with it, caring men and ammunition, and pre gordon who did his 1st address 1st video since the russia ukraine, crisis mutiny. we saw him once on a picture shaking hands with a central african republic administered during the russia africa summit. but it's very interesting to see him just now. in molly, a country that has denied the fact that they were the presence of russian mercenaries from the wagner's state. but the united nations and western diplomat say that the very active they're helping the 1000000 forces to fight off arm groups linked to al qaeda in iceland. that's exactly what progression said in his address . he's here to fight against outside an ice. so he said, and other actors not mentioning who exact piece, pointing to it, who is a free advocate from. that's another question that he didn't answer,
7:16 pm
but the timing of all of this is quite interesting, is still a head on alpha 0. thailand's former leader is back at home and promptly sentenced to serve 8 years in jail. on the same day, clement approved a new prime minister. 2 of terms allies indicted in georgia have handed themselves over to a store. it's the brought to you by visit castle. while the monsoon rains are backing off through buck this gun, that's where we begin this weather reports. 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 right across
7:17 pm
the country. so from the northwest in him, actual per dash right through to the northeast and are not troll pradesh. keep in mind dark of the blue and the yellow that some more intense rain falling again as it was not to brains intensify on wednesday. monthly range of also prompted severe flight advisories in the southern philippines needed now island. and after china, i gotta show you this what, whether hanging around such one providence getting strength 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's sides 21st day. so far this summer with temperature is above $35.00 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 $33.00 for this part of southeast asia, it's fairly quiet with, but we've got a bit of rain running across the board. you island on wednesday? that's it. that's off. we'll see you again soon. take care i of the quote to you by
7:18 pm
visit castle. it's one of the biggest clubs in south america. but it's great. this rival is just a few blocks away. a mutual dislike between funds from a class device sustained over generations. most smoking junior support his opponents of these clip colors in ethics, few to rich business put the funds who make football when i was just the or the the we're watching alpha 0. our top story is this. our army commandos have rescued at
7:19 pm
least 2 children from a cable car stuck 300 meters above ground. they and 4 other children along with 2 adults have been dangling for hours house to one of the cables, snapped. fire fighters have found the bodies of 18, suspected migrants in an area hit by a major wildfire authority save the bodies were discovered near shack in the northeast. in alexandria, police regions. the president of south africa says he shows similar views with china and the expansion of the bricks. group of countries, several remich posts that greeted chinese president choosing, paying for the brick summits and johannes, to the us now where 2 of the 19 people accused of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election results in georgia have surrendered. they include donald trump's former lawyer, john eastman, and bail bondsman, scott hall. the former us president says he will surrender to authorities on thursday. a judge in atlanta has set his bail at $200000.00. now under the
7:20 pm
agreement, trump can remain out of jail pending his trial if he adheres to certain requirements . for more on this, let's go down. and fisher, who is a at the courthouse in atlanta. allen, start by telling us about john eastman who is a, he's not donald trump, but he is still a central figure in this trial. the constitutional lawyer spend a lot of the oval office in the run up to january of the 61 of the people, the told donald trump that mike paints, it'd be a sort of t when it came to congress of farming. the election results to actually over time that i'm one of the key terms of that, of course, was here in georgia. he's been released on $100000.00 on the after going through the process in the last couple of hours. also a score full who works is a billboards been himself at this time, right. he was involved in coffee county here in georgia and a breach of the election. deacon machines there. he has been released on bill of
7:21 pm
$10000.00 to have the 19 already being processed. but of course, the big face that everyone is waiting for it is donald trump, the noise onto the social on monday night that you would actually be here. comes thursday also in the last couple of hours, the 2 of the core queues. jeffery clark, who was the department of justice official working under donald trump. david chief or who was the republican party chair here in georgia. how asked the court to move this case to federal court and they both argued that they were acting on the direction of the president of the united states. jeffrey clark saying he was a federal officer. both of them was either a decision on that by 5 o'clock today. they also asked any court to postpone us ability of the best ones for you should not have at the moment. but it's clear that by asking that they have no intention of hunting themselves in at the moment, or at least until the court decides whether or not this case can go to federal
7:22 pm
court rather than being had that state level. okay alan, let's talk about the former president. now you could argue that this is really the 1st time that the political campaign and the court proceedings really intersect for donald trump for the next steps for him. well, let's put it in mind is a huge moment. the former president of the united states had to post cash bill. he was treated just like anyone else. so with discussions between his attorneys and the prosecutors on monday was agreed that his bill would be $200000.00. that will speed up the process of fulton county jail when he shows up to be fingerprinted and to be processed through the normally he would go before a judge and an appeal would be decided. this dispute is that process, so i wouldn't actually have to post $200000.00. it's normally about 10 percent of that, so that's $20000.00. and it's not sure that the money will come from his own personal
7:23 pm
check book. he's got a number of political action committees that have been doing his legal expenses during this, so it's like place the money will come from that. well, nic and sound the core on truth sources. during the last few hours, donald bumped his joke, joke about taking his branded plane and leading the country. it had the head of the heating. courts don't tend to take a few more terribly well, particularly when it's talking about skipping out on bill conditions. but of course, donald trump should be here on thursday, missing the republican debate as we expected, hoping to stop all the oxygen i of the post coverage of that. so if any was hoping to get a pump from that, donald trump is going to steal all away. yeah, up staging the people who will actually be on stage. allen's fisher reporting from atlanta, thank you very much. i state united nations mission in afghanistan has documented 800 cases of serious human rights violations. since the taliban take over 2 years ago. if your abuse has included torture, disappearances,
7:24 pm
in killings of former african government officials and security forces. despite a taliban amnesty for workers in the previous government. yes. can foreign ministry denies allowing any extra traditional killings sent them on a hand reports when the told on re took power in afghanistan in 2021. it promised amnesty. those who worked with the previous government, it said would have nothing to fear. it's been on with them, but i'm only home with an i'm on. i want to give you shirts to all our compatriots who are in the opposition side as interpreters, over involved in military actions are helped in civilian sectors. we have granted them all amnesty and we don't want to take revenge on anyone. but now united nations investigators are accusing tell about officials of hundreds of human rights violations. many of those targeted or soldiers or police officers who worked under the previous administration. the u. n. has gathered evidence of what it says are
7:25 pm
extra traditional killings, arbitrary arrests and torture. many people who fall within this category of very fearful they don't want to leave home. and we also have cases where relatives be all individuals know, 9 way into the narrative. just have gone and individuals to themselves to be held inc, me, carter detention. let's tell about leaders, deny ordering, any reprisals, they say any violations or acts of individuals. i mean, human rights situation has been improving. 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 minister of foreign affairs. the un says, tell beneficial, have
7:26 pm
a responsibility to investigate crimes and enforce the amnesty even if they themselves didn't order any reprisals tell about leaders of already rolled back on one of their main earlier commitments. girls education promises of tolerance, now appear to be giving way to mounting concerns that things may not be that different to the last time the tell about it was empower vinson monahan, how to sierra the african union has suspended an easier from all activities and is urging all countries to refrain from giving any legitimacy to its qu, leaders, it's nearly a month since the military deposed democratically elected president mohammed. but soon you is also warning against any interference in african security affairs by any outside or is including mercenaries in private ministry companies. addresses following the developments from a bush in neighboring nigeria, as it has several implications. first of all, major officially ease isolated diplomatically, and it can only cause, i mean,
7:27 pm
countries who have signed the pay you talked to about to sort of respect any other sanctions imposed by the african union. that means more trouble for it. and is your already the sanctioning post by the kind of community your west african states that include closing of motors, stopping important exports into the concrete cutting of financial that it cannot make supplies to the country? is biting very, very hard at the moment. but again, country spike a judy, a motor tenure in particular, who have been warning against ad are taking unrestrained measures like meat it makes envision in that country if they're forced by a you to take action to close of their borders. that will cost strict new just access to external support, external supplies, like food and medicines, already we understand, we know that uh, but as soon as possible. and molly, i really have a question is yes, but if this uh all you pay,
7:28 pm
your resolution is enforced, then that wouldn't be more trouble. but again, if you look at the a resolutions, they're talking about the review of all sanctions, but either the review of the african stand by force, west african stand by force. that paper was wanted to go to this year. if they endorse, they already stated that they are against any minute reaction. but if they induce this done by force, it could be more trouble for you just so basically we have why we all have started . it's a stalemate and thailand, the head of the port type part, the set at how is it, how we've seen it will become the nation's new prime minister. earlier on tuesday, former leader attacks and shouldn't watts returned home and he was immediately sentenced to serve 8 years in prison. houses here is tony chang has this report from bangkok, the techs interested in what images on to tale solely for the 1st time. in 15 years, the 1st order of business to lay a flooring offering and to kneel,

ingratitude, before an image of the king. then waves and smiles blank by his children. he drank in the name of a quick handshake with friends and supporters. to minutes of freedom. this whole thing was the way it's set about his them back inside the terminal to me, the police, but as supporters are still out here and in fine boys, they come out in the thousands to welcome him home to all this time. besides, i guess i am very happy, i have always wanted to see him coming home. goes may be the country would be better, made out loud. 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 weight it outside the supreme court. texan was driven inside 3 guilty verdicts in his absence. ag is to be so. and then as most pulses talented
7:30 pm
outside, he was driven into plum prim, central prism discounts and sentence. but how long will the spend? and so many think a deal has already been done for an early release. 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 coalition . those issues include the formation of a new government and finding 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 we send a property. developing tycoon confirmed thailand's new prime minister with techs and should walk from his jail, so may still be pulling the strings. tony chung hilda 0. think of
