7:02 pm
arrival in our house. i had the great pleasure of speaking to 7 americans who are now free, free from their imprisonment or detention in iran, oliver on, out of prison, and now in doha, on route back to the united states. to be reunited with our loved ones. 5 of the 7 of course, had been unjustly detained in prisons and around some for years to others have been prevented from leaving a ross. i spoke to them after they landed in doha. i can tell you that it was for them for me, an emotional conversation. we have a team of correspondents covering this story. kimberly healthcare is at the white house and the diplomatic it is a james buys, is that the united nations? but 1st, let's hear from him, ron khan,
7:03 pm
who was on the tom back of the moments the plane lands as when the plane arrives. uh from there about the international airport in iran. it was never a 3 deal breakthrough by contact anyways, it arrives and landed 10 miles and taxied onto the termite weather. us and boston category delegation were waiting on the top of that time. they will boom hugs and greetings from uh all sides. uh, they seem to be visible sense of relief and then that was a very short walk to the terminal. uh now there is another plane and the will fly them to the united states that they'll get a medical about. ready patients and a security breach on it that she's speaking to. um uh so we'll have the us embassy off the mountain. so anyhow, she said, i'm relieved. father be even more relieved when they're on us soil. so that's now the game plan is to get them on to us. so let's bring it now. whitehouse correspondent, kimberly how it gets to where the reaction in the united states
7:04 pm
a many people have hales the steel is a success. but how controversial has it been over there? i understand that the number of political leaders are claiming button has effectively paid rent, some money to the writing and through the steel. yeah, the feeling is that the by the administration has emboldened a ron. that this could lead to further americans being detained and that this will only help the ronnie, an economy at a time when it is continuing in the eyes of the united states and the other western nations to enrich uranium to near weapons grade. and this is something that is of concern to the united states, and this is something with the white house is defending saying that when it comes to arise nuclear program, this is really a separate issue. what is of concern to the united states was getting home the americans that had been a held the inner ronnie and prisons,
7:05 pm
that was the top priority. and so that is what it underscored was what it was trying to achieve. there was a window of opportunity in which to do that, and that's what it did. and so the alternative would have been seeing these americans potentially spending the rest of their lives in prison. and so what the white house is saying is that they make no apologies for what they've done. they have brought these americans, uh, at least, are in the process of bringing them home and anything with regard to the criticism of this leading teddy further destabilizing in the region they simply are dismissing is being contrary to what they're stated. goals are, and that is to make sure that these americans are brought home and we should also point out that there is one american that is not the right home. and that is bob levinson, who has been in detention by the american who was working in the region, had disappeared back in 2007 is presume to be dead as of 2020. and that is not
7:06 pm
going to be coming home. the white house was saying, but they are putting fresh sanctions on not only the former ronnie present, mostly the deed is odd, but also members of the iranian intelligence ministry. and given the fact that they save it, there still answers that they're waiting for us to his whereabouts of what happened to him. so they say that they are being very firm with the a roddy, is that their concern is not only about bob levinson, but also about the fear that there and concern that there when it comes to ron, that it remains to be a human rights abuse or but they're a continue to level stations with regard to that as recently as last friday over most of many and the anniversary of her death. so they say that they continue to be very hard on the run with respect to sections and they see no in no way of living up on that even as they strike this deal to bring americans home. okay, thank you so much for that. it is white house correspondent,
7:07 pm
kimberly how could they for us, it's allowed diplomatic. it a just, it is a james buys is a live at the united nations for us. and jim's, what's been the reaction from leaders, they had that a gathering for the a general assembly this week was have a world leaders from all over the world together here in new york. the 1st full day is tuesday, but lead is already gathering already speaking about the sustainable development goals. and katie, this, i think, is gonna be one of the themes of the week here on because we have present bite and here we have present. gracie no suggestion, they go to tool, but many asking questions now whether this deal on specifically on prisoners this be very caffeine negotiated with the mediation of capital over the last 18 months or so can lead to more can lead to more particularly with regard to the rom, nuclear programs, kimberly was saying 60 percent enrichment now by iran, it was the us, the pulled out of the of the deal, the trump administration,
7:08 pm
that's iran, stuck with it for a base and then started enriching. and now it's pretty much new weapons grade. it remains a very big issue, and so i think they'll be lots of discussions here of whether, whether this could move the needle on that issue as well. uh, wanting to see you un official. i spoke to in the last couple of days when we knew that there was a prisoner release, likely said that this person felt that wasn't too clear whether this is a separate thing or whether this could change the mood and change the calculations on that nuclear deal i'm get a cost back to the around nuclear deal known as the jcp away, which obviously existed until president trump to adopt as we had from kimberly hook it to just before we spoke to you there, there was nothing the best, the greatest reaction for many in the united states in regards to the steel what of potential sticking points for them, the around and us working on of the potential issues before they get to that
7:09 pm
nuclear deal? do you think of well 1st there is the history. there is the real mistrust of a wrong in the united states and the real mistrust. and in some cases, hatred of the united states in iran. but they managed to get pasta that when they did the role nuclear deal last time, there are other risk issues as kimberly mentioned, my side of meanings dash of that young lady who, who died almost a year ago. and the protests followed that we believe there were about $500.00 people killed and a 1000 arrested off to that. that's a big issue. and then of course, remember the warren ukraine, that is also an issue because it wrong has proved itself pretty much on the russian side that and writing and drones around the noise it. but a rainy and drones, the us and european powers say all being used by russia, and it's bob, bob and of team and other cities. so it is a really complex issue that stretches beyond the run into all sorts of all the
7:10 pm
files here at the united nations. and i think many or asking whether what we seen today, obviously very important development particularly for those families, can be a bigger development. and changing the relationship between iran and the united states. iran already slightly better relations. now in recent years with some of its neighbors, for example, saudi arabia. okay, thank you so much. we'll be keeping a close eye on developments there at the united nations throughout this week. that's james buys diplomatic editor in new york. thank you. measured l n, sorry is spokesperson for casals foreign ministry and advisor to the prime minister . speaking to us from new york. he said it had taken a long time to bring the deal to fruition a 2 year affair meetings in the visit to both the and the b. c. took place on behalf of the company. officials. nothing with that would be the 5 minutes to under because we the minister of the state, the number cuz i sent
7:11 pm
a date. this deal. i think there was a genuine need from all a genuine need from all talking to each this the disagreements. and that was a lot of assets on all the policies to reach the agreement that had taken place, dates and the army. and then to also have that i in the into, has to be headed over to the i mean side and to return to their home countries as the as possible. so they disagree with zip code will start with the equipment of change. but the headboard is also included in it the, the human human. it's amy and financial channel and the into how that was affinity . who maintained in needs to be. i mean, people i thought has had a lot of success when it comes to mediation in the counseling the case. the part of it is not the prototype. i'd like to mediate between the 2nd party, but especially between 18 e and the not to say there's been
7:12 pm
a lot to pop up. i forgot that in the many stages of the talks between the 2 sides . because i had facilitated in director and don't have that before then had facilitate the exchange of the ideas on math that he's still fixed on this topic. especially i think the trust that has been built woke up out of the relationship. do you think you could like to ship with the united states as it was the thing they could imagine non nato allied by the united states. and it's simply and to look into that and ship with add the public effect on, on the. ready the topics has made cover to be a very. ready suitable media is that on the, on this and you have hopeful that it's with she'll be on either side of the. busy in the media, things with the suicide got hopeful that to the agreement will have a uh, you know, a pushing text in for editing a lot of the comprehensive. again, it's on the other 2 issues between the 2 types. the
7:13 pm
will to a rock. now we're at least 6 people have been killed in a drone attack on about a port in the north. let's go straight to a correspondence my mood of the heat in the rock a capital baghdad. what more do we know about this attack at this stage? a security assault is in the city of sleigh many yet say the attack was carried out by a drawing we, you know, for certain that it took, his drawings, have been roaming in the area for the past it see a days as this area in sleigh. many and the it around the province of sleigh many is home to both civilian and military, a groups and type a one and, and tied it to the kids and ministry and civilian groups and both to key and you're
7:14 pm
on have been conducting attacks a, a rates against opposition, locations a, an arrow in good sleigh many properties, but to yet it, it has not been confirmed whether or not this attack has been counted out by any of those 2 countries be. do you know, we know also that this airport at our, but airport it's originally agreed cultural, but that has been recently used by some ministry units and name the by the end to tourism of colorado. is that belongs to the chalet. many uh providence. in the city of tournaments, code to ship a region. so many consultants, and also officials in sleigh mania suggest that at least 6 people were killed above it is not confirmed yet the identity of those who were killed,
7:15 pm
but we know that it took it has made as a basis around the city of sleigh many uh, that has been a long chink drawings from that, that from that was admitted to bases, but it is not confirmed yet. who's behind that attack. okay, thank you so much for that update. that is a correspondence mode of double he'd in baghdad as well. so hit on l, just air in a race against time risk you would cause a struggling to identify bodies in the fonts are going to be in the city of doing way before the american government sitting up make shift classrooms in some areas worst affected by the us quick the the brought to you by visit capital. so the settings he's likely in, for example,
7:16 pm
thailand on me and ma, those warnings act as a result of that. and this blue, miscast, he would suggest is also fairly which area. so some possibility is certainly central. some philippines are infants and quite heavy dime pulls that right and hasn't done his file size is java, but it is edging into in an easier, increasingly which is seasonally correct. this is not quite size in the correct, this is late heavy rain for this part of china, which is stretched out across the yellow sea to the korean peninsula. ahead is that it's still remarkably warm. you might even describe it as halt. for example, in turkey, most of home shoes, often human about 6 degrees hops with vine, each should be and this continues for at least a couple more days. in india, this is incorrect for this time. the funding in um i did, i would suggest it still raining heavily and go drop it. is that a warnings act as a result of that because you would expect the rain to be disappearing the night when it hasn't yet gone this month. even reach southern practice time it might give
7:17 pm
some rain in karachi and if he does that will be equally, if not most uh, unusual. this is more usual rain, the further east in indiana, catching bangladesh. and increasingly, it's still falling down the west and gets the weather brought to you by visit cuts on the the you. what you'll just say a reminder of our top story is the salad, the major prison, this wolf is underway between the us and the wrong. it's part of a deal for could find casa, up to 2 years of in direct negotiations. the group of 5 american iranians have arrived, and from toronto a short while ago. they have been reports that at least 6 people have been killed
7:18 pm
in the drawer. an attack on off on a post to moving around the judges at the international court of justice, hearing arguments from russia and ukraine about claims by most go that it launched as invasion to prevent genocide. ukraine rule the case to the united nations highest court days off to russia. invited last year. keep accuses most go of abusing international more falsely alleging genocide, an eastern new crime. rochelle bones the case to be thrown out and objects to the quotes jurisdiction, preliminary injury. ukraine is not accusing russia of convention genocide. ukraine is also not accusing or russia or failing to prevent or punish each other.
7:19 pm
so on the contrary, ukraine safe. no genocide has occurred. that long should been not to reject the keys. because according to the costs you are as brothers, as there was no genocide, they cannot be at violation of the engine site pretty much to rec, rebels and northern mom, the site they have sees control of 2 military bases in the town to flurry near the border with more time, a silence has escalated since you in peacekeeping troops became, withdrawing from the north to the ploughed, was demanded by molly's june to coolie at his side, considering mobilizing reservists and of called off independence day celebrations. and next week to reg, ripples in the north of monte won't autonomy for the visit regent. by cool as a was concerned, the pullout by you in peace keepers will allow molly's military to seize areas
7:20 pm
given up in a safe spot agreed in 20. 15 on the tracy is a specialist in defense and security issues and the consulting principal at janes which provides open source intelligence and analysis. he says the situation of molly is deteriorating. the marion military as a apparently experience several setbacks and these issues against these on millions of groups which were signatories to the old years a course of 2015. and 2 of the things that molly's facing was the, the highest groups, the fact that he moved to is and circled in the, in the state of locates and kind of deal with supplies. so you definitely feel that the not even really theories in the back food does it has not been seen since 2013 . and it's very hard to say where the situation was going to go. but it's dissing c cost for instances. and there's of high probability that the seas will get this. i
7:21 pm
think the french was to was the 1st categories because the french where very effective the targeting on the, the, how these groups. and we're seeing as an important guaranteed or auth, uh, the respect of the orders, the court, by the uh, to our newest improve seemed to know. and so the departure of the french, which was met with a degree of incredulity by some of the support groups already started these, which were seen now. and this was only aggravated by the departure of the you and you should do remember that the you and never had a mandate to enforce these. and then you don't have an offensive mandate. there was there to act as a deposition force so that their ability to carry out operation against all the groups with limited, but the presence alone help to keep things in check. i would say the
7:22 pm
or what's the libya now we're risky. work is a struggling to identify decomposing bodies in the city of done to. the city was devastated a week ago off to 2 times collapse. following heavy ryan's thousands of people were killed and $10000.00 a still missing the growing concerns about the spirit of disease, child strength, it has more over a week since thousands of people were killed when to dams 1st and sent a wall of water and mowed crushing through the eastern libyan city of thermal, the search for bodies goes on. many people are still missing and fed dead. many bodies a so decompose that, identifying them is proving difficult and disturbing. the search and rescue teams the to then so the, the muscles are the libyan. when i put on the bodies, i swear i cry. i can handle it,
7:23 pm
but it is god's. so you have to hold up and put out the body and there was a body that was cut into 2 parts straight before us. there was nothing to do but to point out the bodies, what can you do with so many people on accounted full. and so many presumed dead, the freight of disease increases by today. health workers have been sun and sizing the streets. looks going to be the lack of medical stuff created a crisis. 3 or 4 organizations are focusing on treating patients and the injured. so this created a problem in the infection control. the lack of infection control creates the possibility of disease transmission. and there will be types of bacteria that could be hard to treat some survivors as a return to what remains of their homes and are overcome with grief. again, as if we found dead bodies of neighbors, friends, and loved ones, i cannot explain of
7:24 pm
volunteers from across libya have crossed the front lines, ignoring violence and political unrest that have existed for years and is deeply divided country. many civil life is want to know how this dissolves to happen and who might be responsible for the system that i have a small family of 6 from my extended family that i'm more than 48 people. mister gold would punish the people who were supposed to take care of it. down the u. n says that more than 40000 people have been forced to flee that homes. and that set them all the right side of care for that could have it was just like a dream we called comprehend, says this man, we just comp comprehended yet help from a broad continues to arrive. so fall, say international libyan officials is just not enough. charles profit, which is 0. the united nations chief antonio gutierrez, has demanded
