the legends, walden opens up on his remarkable gem from the child's rescue g to leading south to the basketball world. i felt that it was important that i get back. i felt that it was part of what i had for the generation school on out just in the a tony cheney in single pool where both has a going to the poles choose. and you, president, 1st time more than the i don't want elizabeth for ottoman. this is ours is here, live from dough ha. also coming up a good bomb suspended from the african union with medias effect a day off of a military coup that housed a president on the phone goes to full members of the far right. todd boys who have
6:01 am
a sentence to prison. so they have all of the us capitol, a viable option, the 2020 presidential election and platforms. this has arrived in long ago. we get for a visit the vatican hot. so health improve relations with china, the largest and single pool, a. choosing the next president, close to $3000000.00 things that are expected to cost the ballots. 3 candidates are in the running to replace incumbent, telling me i called the role as mainly ceremonial and supposed to be non political as an action is the 1st to be contested in more than a decade. that's check in with our correspondent, tiny chang. he's joining us live from single pool. is the 1st election in which candidates from old mississippi's permitted to run the tiny
6:02 am
indeed, and that was a very big decision. i think it here in singapore constitutional had changed. that happened in 2016. that was off to the last presidential election, where there was only one candidates. it was according to the constitution of that stage. it had to be somebody from the malay community. of course, a single part is government has worked very hard since the foundation of the city state to make sure that there is equal where it presents this representation for all of the ethnic minorities that make the 2nd pull. would that in turn, had created a situation where you only had one candidate who was eligible to stand like thing. the subtext here is that the government is trying to create an intellectual process, which is a little bit more inclusive where people can go to the polls and actually choose the candid and that's made a very significant difference. the probably run the mr. thomas is from the p a p. uh it ruling policy. although this is a very, a political role. he resigned only
6:03 am
a couple of months ago and it previously held the prime minister, the road, 50 prime minister. so he's seen very much, is a lie to the ruling policy. people say go to fastening chinese out on the ballot this time. i think it's a question with us that'll sway vote is too much. we were at the polling station before they opened at 8 am and they were a couple of older lady is talking about the necessity of the candidates. so it is an issue here, but i think there are more important thing. yeah. a play in particular, some issues of the ruling policy is had over the last 12 months, but also the general state and singapore and people. i know this is a credibly expensive place to live and vote is, are now starting to feel to squeeze. absolutely, tony, as you mentioned, the former deputy prime minister from the beginning people's action parties had lunch on we'll get out. some is the frontrunner. but the potty has been hit by a number of scandals in recent months. hasn't had that in itself is quite rare. and
6:04 am
single pool, could that work against him? is it very hard to say there's very little polling here so it's hard to know, but i think there's a feeling here that well elections are very predictable. and the ruling part has been in power since 1959. this may signal a slight change. mister tollman is very much the front runner. i mean, he's very much the beloved politician here in singapore. there was a very serious question about the fact that he might replace felicia alone, the prime minister when he said that instead his resign from the party, he's going to this a political role. he is very well known here. a book has been some political scandals that have hit the p a p in the last 12 months. we've had some concessions from the shan long. there's a party it does need to police itself, but to that might be a problem. but also in the last couple of years, we've seen the cost of living crisis really crunched a lot of singapore into
6:05 am
a finding things like rents, the daily cost of living very hard and the feeling that i think perhaps a slight distance between themselves. and they're really fuzzy. now, the size of the president could do very little about that is not so relevant. they may just consider today's balance a challenge to register or protest. and that doesn't necessarily mean that mister tomlin will lose, but i was talking to somebody yesterday who said that if the other candidates don't lose the deposit, it's one in some ways that will be considered by many singaporeans to be enough of the process. all right, tony, thank you very much for that. tony chang. joining us live from sing for to have the news now the african union has suspended good ball and from what activities. following wednesdays crew off the season, powell, the military cancel, the election results in which president ali bung is declared. the winner. the opposition says they won the election and according on the military to finish counting the votes. look at his honk reports. the general's in gabon gather to pray

6:22 am
a lot of people without power. and we are responding with a big operation. we have more than 20 feet in units deployed. to incident management teams in both georgia and florida and were coring emergency relief supplies, things like up food, water cleaning kits and in been supplies. it's been tough. um certainly disaster relief agencies like ours are stretched even before this hurricane. we had tour nato's floods and wildfires. i think one of the things that we're trying to do is build resilience so that the poor us them of us do have some of those necessary preparedness tools to get through these advance and, and, and can be a little more self resilient. the other thing is salvation. army is community based . so our disaster teams are mobile feeding units are placed in local community so they can respond very, very quickly to these types of events. we can't do what we do without the generosity of our donors. and so the best way to help after a disaster give to a non profit of your choice so that they can provide that safety net for people who
6:23 am
have nowhere else to turn the head of the roman catholic church point fonts. so this has just arrived in the for dominant, they both as nation of mongolia. the country is home to only about $1500.00 catholics. the vatican says the visit will draw attention to people on the peripheral rays of society. the post all sort of hopes this trip for the help improve the church has relations with china. pulling columns as a form of praise to the historian of the catholic church. he says the trip will help put funds is reaching out to my goal is to powerful name is russia and china. i hope francis is very much a man who is concerned about the peripheries of the church. and he is not so concerned about well established catholic areas, like for instance,
6:24 am
a milan and easily openness initially, or a big hispanic catholic population in los angeles in the united states. he's concerned about the people who live on the ages if you like. so he really is trying to give voice to people on the periphery. he also has a great interest in asia. he is really concerned why catholics a very much in a minority of christians, a very much in a minority issue with the exception of the philippines. and he's very much concerned. the guy also have a voice. mongolia sits geographically right between china and russia. he's concerned in china about the appointment of bishops and keeping a relationship going with the communist government to china in russia. he's concerned about keeping relationships going with the russian orthodox church. the orthodox church has been very supportive on the russian government and the war and
6:25 am
ukraine box. he still wants to keep doors with the russian orthodox. i think those 2 things, i think also another thing that's important to you is that ongoing is largely or just the country. and again, john, a po francis has been a person who has been very much reaching out to the other great types of the world . and so i was interested to see that what is a mongolia is, is quite a bit some units in coordination. well, the pipe po francis has not yet met the deadline. lama again, perhaps because of sensitivities to try and animal protection charges have condemned iceland natural, its decision to resume wading on friday. the government confirmed it will not be extending a temporary bed or the minister of food and agriculture has said she hopes to end the practice by next year. meanwhile,
6:26 am
they will be stripped to conditions and monitoring iceland, along with japan and no way the 3 countries that allow commercial waiting. well, patrick for mazda is a senior director with the international fund for animal welfare, says iceland is taking steps to end the historic activity. ministers funds as far as daughter has taken steps and publicly declared herself very clearly as very, very susceptible as to whether whalen should continue at all. the decision to allow wailing to resume for the month, month of september is an unfortunate one. it's regrettable but required on dry splendid law and regulation. her hands were really tied. um. she's going about an orderly process. today's decision ironic though it may seem or counterintuitive though it may seem is a step toward the end of iceland, a wailing, not a step toward its full time resumption. the ministers next big decision will be in december as to whether to extend another 5 year quote for. ready going in the
6:27 am
country, we are optimistic, so a to make the right decision at that time tourism eclipse. fisheries as the main source of extra rental income for iceland in 2018 eco tourism in the ticket. where leads the way in iceland and wales people, the communities and economic prosperity do much better when these animals are seen and not heard. we are watching is the way forward for iceland. their businesses have responded to that. the public internationally goes to iceland in order to watch whales, not to watch the big harpoon, but the washington with cameras. they're paying money to do it. it's clearly the way for the last thing that this species can tolerate is being killed for products that nobody needs. and regrettably, that's what christian boss and the loan wheeler involved intends to do over the coming months beginning as soon as tomorrow to the was long. this funding film festival has opened and then as a button this just red carpet and it will be isn't as busy as usual,
6:28 am
many hollywood stalls and directors the staying way and support of actors and vices who are on strike. sonya guy, ego has more there was no shortage of blitz, but it was a distinctly european steel the see it on the red carpet would still make cuz actors and even a police file, right, deputy prime minister. one thing was lacking a big hollywood presence. despite highly anticipation still releases the ongoing strike by american actors and writers, binding them from promoting films of a shadow, the event. it may have brought the us sent attainment industry to a standstill. but in venice that will support. i've been there already with the writers and the actors and like verified is a fight for also makers and it's against create and profit that the opening
