infrastructure. now his main challenger opposition liter nelson shaneesa a his hoping that the frustrations about corruption, high inflation unemployment will encourage people to choose him instead. now alj a 0 is her room, a task that has been following all of these developments. she's outside a pulling station in the capital. her, all right, and her tells a little bit about what the turn out is like where you are. we know the polls have just opened as well, where i am in the capitol holiday. this particular putting station, the numbers, a pretty decent, they many 10 surround you, the different polling station when people go and vote, so you won't see the long, long lines because it's so many times people can go online. i pad, what they do is they come here 1st, they check the name is on the vote as role to get told which particular to the go in votes inside and they go and join the q and the go in and vote this part of all

of the major issues. they're anti abortion, anti immigration, and anti jo by. they're expected to focus on inflation crime and what republicans call openness. most people associate the word well can i ask what kind of kindness or liberalism or anti racism, but with the republican primary electorate? it's a very powerful issue. the republican primary voters are much more likely than the rest of the american electorate to say that they care about these things that they think there is a culture war being waged by the last against them. perhaps the strangest cultural warrior, florida governor, randa santa's, we struggled to show he can break out of his existence, number 2, position and beat donald trump. they're the candidates so far ahead and polls, but he doesn't plan to show up. but the floridian has been unwilling to take on trump directly for you. i hope that we will be focused on the future of the country

rather than uh, some of the other static that's out there right now. that has created an opening for former new jersey governor chris christy, who staked out the empty trump position and portrays the sanders's trump liked. if he thinks he's got to get off the stage to defend donald trump on wednesday night. but he should do donald trump a favor and do our party a favor from back to tallahassee, endorse donald trump, the get the hell out of the race. tim scott has been pitching his rags to riches live store. he's an example for all americans to follow. former vice president mike pence is stuck to a traditional republican economic pitch. vic ramos swami, former in bassett, or nikki haley, former arkansas governor asia hutchinson in north dakota governor doug burg. we'll also be looking for a breakout moment to make a memorable mark on voters blooming over all. this is the elephant, not in the room. donald trump and his numerous legal workers. do you want your candidate running from jail? do you want your candidate campaigning and,

and rally is and critical battleground states, or do you want him flying back and forth to different trials? any contender who takes that decision will be gambling on whether they are enough republican voters who agree to make up for trumps diehard base of support. john henry and l g 0, milwaukee lake people including 6 children dangling from a cable car, 300 meters above the ground. in northern pac hassan had been rescued. some of them were children and they have been airlifted to safety, while others were rescued in ground operations. the day long ordeal began when 6 children with 2 adults got into the cable car for a trip to school. and we were a people inside the cable class when we reached the middle of the cable snap and it dangled. we were scared and upset the whole day was spent in fear. when the army came, we felt that we had the chance to survive well 12 years after one of the world's

worst nuclear disasters, japan says it will begin release, increase it radioactive water from the focus, shame of plant into the ocean. but china, south korea, and pacific island nations as well as japanese fishermen oppose the move. but the us nuclear watchdog says the release of more than 1000000 metric tons of trees of water will have very little impact on people as well as the environment. well, how to cope montgomery is live for us and focus chiva and talk to us a little bit how to go about how the locals are reacting to this waste water release. yes, so anger is building here and sufficient. locals are declined. the japanese government's decision to begin releasing treated radioactive waste water from the focus from my diet to nuclear plants into the pacific ocean from this thursday. again, this will, these could begin as early as this thursday. now the japanese government said that

this will be a safe, but the question my freshman are worried about the potential reputational damage that will could face quite similarly to how they experience back in 2011 after the civil disaster. now in 2010 a year before japan, so it's worse ever a nuclear disaster. location. lot of the coastal fishing industry aren't about $69000000.00 us dollars. but after the disaster, you have to suspend all operations. fish. we're also not sense the marketplace that's a lot to test for radiation. now, by 2020 by 2020 focus you mazda fishermen were earning up to $26000000.00 us dollars. but just as the industry was on the road to recovery, japan has announced this class, which again, are focused on my freshman sierra, could have a negative impact on their livelihood. and are there going to be any sort of safety measures that will be implemented along with this release?

on tuesday evening, a tab go took a ton of this free data, radioactive waste, water and diluted it was actually a 1200 tons of sea water. and now this is to ensure that the water they will be releasing from as early as thursday needs the safety regulations. but in addition to this session cooperate is with in focus. you might have said that they will begin testing session every single day that could be sold or sent out to imports. and this is to ensure that consumers are satisfied and are re assured that fish and focus you might is say, alright, hanukkah montgomery, thanks for that. live for us there and so because she might, we appreciate it. i the mean time china is so i'm in japan as ambassador over the folk assuming water release and has widened restrictions on sea food imports from japan and that is hurting businesses as alger 0 is katrina you reports from beijing, sushi chef because they yuki 10 yoga used to purchase this fish from southern japan

. these days he's forced to bite from southern china. authorities here have been sea food from 10 japanese regents and old japanese imports are experiencing long delays at custom to move has hurt business. i know also that on one hand, it's no longer possible to import ingredients from japan and on the other hands on . some customers are very that the discharge of contaminated water will affect food safety. the aging is protesting against japan's plan to release more than a 1000000 tons of treated radioactive water from its damage for cushion the nuclear plant into the pacific ocean view. and nuclear watchdog has approved the plan. but chinese officials say the long term risks are unknown to about that depends what you're about. china, it does depend to heat, legitimate concerns of international community and his own city. but i do hope these plans for discharging the nuclear contaminated water into sea. chinese take

media have highlighted demonstrations against the plan in japan, south korea, and the pacific islands. this area in downtown virginia is known as little tokyo and it's full of restaurants that serve sushi and other japanese cuisine. we visited many of them and they all told us that business has been badly affected by china's restrictions on japanese say food. it's res, tensions of tokyo. so china remains the largest importer of japanese, the food, a new one. so i was looking on going to the safety of japanese sea food products have been scientific. we verified the governments request that the chinese side remove its restrictions. the key cushion mobile order release plan has divided the scientific community summer, calling for more research. several countries including china and the united states, also released nuclear waste border it to the see. we can continue to treat our ocean as badly as we are today. by using it as a dumping ground for everything that we don't want in our backyard and expect the

ocean to be able to protect lives for generations to come. because he says he's taking things day by day. his restaurants survive depend, demik is helpful to survive. the storm of the cushion of water release plan to katrina you out to 0. but finally, some children in the indonesia take risky journeys to get to class. one student told al jazeera about her 6 kilometer walk to school every day. now notice i yeah, we are doing that and we also do bundle in that. oh said so we added bagley's class about the estimate, say a bad ones. i'm really not bad. the said the last and then to back then said add them say add to the month month. i mean but um, but the so for that matter with that then it has been gummy
