5:09 am
departure of migrating. a major part of georgia maloney's message is that this is a european border as well as an italian one requiring a european solution. but despite a sort of underlines 10 point plan much remains on on. so as to exactly what that solution is going to be. whether it will work on whether it will be sufficient for those who voted in georgia, maloney as prime minister back at the reception center that we also do from booking is also about the visit. and the politicians. distinction between refugees and economic migrants move into the international protection because there is no peace in our country here because we don't have an a toner to from that point because of the seat to reach each other, leaving our families behind. why should we do this? if we have really for the some peace in our country on monday, georgia maloney plans to increase the maximum detention period for those equals illegal migrants to 18 months the european maximum. but the motivation, the desperation to reach the schools remains on resources. i'll just, you know, if it has 5 pilots,

5:12 am
an ox provocations. the dominican republic is closed its border with hazy because haitian farm is a building and canal from a shed river. on sunday, the country's defense industry ministers visited the board of the town of the bone on home and talked to both of them in the dominican republic, defense minister visiting the buddha. for the 1st time since he's country, or did it close to neighboring hate say that decision was made pressure. fission from is to stop thinking a come out on the most that cru river, which the to country ship. we took the opportunity to ask him about the status, the dominican republic simone's and their level dominican no, i body is project to is no commitment was on the rely with the real looking know pull the most and i don't know quite a lot of names. oh no, i sort of get, but none of those projects start bucks the costs of the river going on. this one does, and that's why it violates the treating good. but the haitian site is suffering
5:13 am
from drought and have a right to. we were a great, the farmlands. they continue to dig despite the build up to the dominican troops on the other side, the buddha, the dominican government, wants to show off what it's doing. but at the moment that's really all this is a show. they can't actually do anything to stop the canal, which is on the haitian side the the, it seems kind of haitian government, even if it wanted to use a political crisis in violence of listed to but incapacitated. even most of the cap to pull to print is in the hands of gains. so how else to dominican defense minister does it expect that same haitian government, the result of the crisis saw them. ok, well here and like down, we know that the hate the government because of the actions of the gangs has a trans tied but the construction of the canal a fixed the interest of the dominican republic to fix all pharmacists. and it violates the treaty of 1929. so it's up to the government to search for a solution. it's in the hands. meanwhile,
5:14 am
the close border is affecting not just patients who depend on food from the welfare, dominican republic, but also traitors and exports is on this side. the dominican industry and commerce minister also the buddha to reassure trade, has promised to buy any perishables through the account. so i asked him how long he's gonna me to do that. so let me do it. the important to know depend that it also limit of time doesn't depend on us. it depends on how you know, we hope that the talks advance and we continue to re position our product internally. meanwhile, in hate to support for the canal is only growing, perhaps because of dominican, no position. it's becoming a punch, realty condemned the flags of flustering bus loads of people arriving to help some performing duty rituals in support of the work. cuz others, like zip fi, mccully, bringing food, know what we've come to support the canal being built because we have sions, we must corporate them on ourselves to give food, to those who look at the canal,
5:15 am
the dominican republic, and says that haitian businessman and politicians are behind the project, but whoever it started, the canal has become very much a popular enterprise. be it was the could cause economic ruin. if the 2 countries continue this stand, john home, and i would just say to the hubble, the still ahead on the out is there a to our reg rebels, a northern monte say they have sees control of treatment or she basis often attack on a town near the border with more tamia and it's not on the same bus robbie and ukraine, sue me, region on the border with russia. we're isolated communities say civilian targets are coming under attack on a near daily basis. it's just too hot and humid. yep. in september, in most of japan, every now and again,
5:16 am
you add the rain to that last the latest right. and come again sir, what hot and humid took you shouldn't be at $33.00 degrees. kyoto has been even higher than that, or we need to maintain this standard. so it's been a huge way throughout the whole of the summer. now in september it carries on trying assumptions to come back a bit. the rain here, maybe a little bit late in the season, is much lighter in the science, but it's showing itself was potentially heavier. as you can see in the middle of china, these are just suggest this going to be some funding from this late seasonal rain moving your way and further south. we'd expect the shelves to be going into indonesia. and as the sun goes south and they all doing that, they haven't reached java yet, but they also like to be fairly frequent in the northern half of symbolic roll dump, a single pull across the hall, the bone. yeah, it looks potentially quite which here you've seen this a normally already we shouldn't be seeing rain in goods or not, or roger style is times you have them on the students all should be going away. but
