2:02 am
hodges saying that john was shot dead outside a sick temple on june. the 18th. over the past number of weeks, canadian security agencies have been actively pursuing credible allegations of a potential link between agents of the government of india and the killing of a canadian citizen har dave sing, major canada as a rule of law country, the protection of our citizens and defense of our sovereignty are fundament, our top priorities have therefore been one that our law enforcement and security agencies ensure the continued safety of all canadians and to the all steps be taken to hold perpetrators of this murder to account. oh, correspond the shepherd, tennessee is in ontario, canada for us shell. what exactly is the canadian government alleging here
2:03 am
the it's, that's the interesting part that we heard should i say that the security agency is the canadian security agencies, are investigating potential links between indian agents and i'm on the assassination. and in fact, we were told that what should i said to the end remote energy transfer was he wanted full cooperation and help in quite guessing to the bottom of this. and then we have a foreign minister also say, if this is proven true, it's a serious violation of canadian sovereignty sir. on the one out is that suggestion that there's an active investigation on the way, but it hasn't been proven that there's a link to the indian government. and yet at the same time it was enough innovation . well they. ready so i was excited governor's consent to actually begin expelling the canadian, or could, i can develop the, you know, someone who's described as the head of it, of indian intelligence and kind of this on the one i'm active investigation on the other end, intelligence,
2:04 am
credible enough that already they've expelled an engine. diplomats i think it's raising all the questions as to what exactly this evidence is about. they haven't released that yet at, but you know, it isn't the recognition of the way how it's credible with the proven. yeah, i think we have more questions right now than on citizen. so what impact is this likely to have on canadian indian relations, which are very strange already. the price and insights actually before $3.00 days at about about what, what he said to moody of g 20. before that be the headline from bodies interaction with true dia on the sidelines of a g 20. that was made by that true. amazing. was that it was mostly who was complaining to treat their about as they often have the political space given to seek separatists in kind of their kind of the is who is the largest population of seats outside of the punjab. it's a very important political demographic for justin. true to, to court canadians always say the government says, look, this is just put it,
2:05 am
it was protective, political speech, freedom of speech. we're not going to get to get involved. but then the government is as express their anger for some time now about about especially separate as groups are and that rhetoric and that, that parades in their, in canada and other things. um, but yeah, i mean, already relation to the terms, probably because of this. we know that a trade mission has now been cancelled. that was due to go in october. the trade deal. 6 rows have been had a big change over trade deal. i've been on the way, but those have been suspended. they were suspended before today. so yeah, it's safe to say that things are pretty bad and other getting less. okay, thank you for that. she upper town. see that for us in ontario, canada? well, let's get reaction from the canadian community in toronto ball parade, saying is the spokes bus and then legal counsel off the wells seek organization of canada. he joins us now live from that. what has been the reaction in your community to what we've heard today from prime minister? true to the agents of the indian government will most likely behind the shooting of
2:06 am
holiday ps initial. and it's an incredibly validating we is. canadian 6 have for years said that india is interfering here in katie and stick affairs. we have identified strong peers that mr. nature was the target of an assassination plot. and to have the prime minister get up and say that today that's a, that's confirming those uh those concerns. and it's like i said, very validate. the indian government says, mr. harvey, i'm saying that john was a terrorist. who was he to be st community in canada. so heard the thing to do with the president of one of the largest echo dollars in canada. he was also a very strong advocate, a vocal advocate for call this done, which is a solving state. and we are here in canada enjoyed freedom of expression. but india had repeatedly insisted the candidate silence mister needs are as well as those 6 who are campaigning for, call us them. and india simply doesn't understand,
2:07 am
but that's not legally possible. but to go to the extent of having a targeted chewing on for the soil. this falls into the bizarre, i mean this is a terrorist attack by india and i'm, i'm surprised that they would go this far back in july we saw hundreds of people protest missed and it shows death in toronto and elsewhere around the world. do you think these latest developments could escalate tensions between indians and seats? to be honest, what i am concerned about is india using this moment in time to create tensions to once again use. it's a typical here to canada to create a moments of violence, create conflict, and that's not beyond what they've already been doing. so 6 in those muslims, we all live here peacefully. but what india has very active we try to do is create conflict and create the myth of sic extremism in canada,
2:08 am
just because they do not want to accept a 6 talking about color. so mr. editor was the, the prominent 6 figure i believed to die in recent months doesn't raise questions in your community about who was behind these of the killings. very clear in the community who was behind these gillex. the indians have themselves gloated about the fact that color studies dropping like flies. so they've had no qualms about taking credit for it. but it was simply a guess non 6 wouldn't believe that the world, so call, largest democracy, could engage into sort of the sort of terrorism. but now kind of coming out of this, i think is an opportunity for others, including the u. k and others to them and what's happening up there so, so we, we have seen canada or the canadian government expel. and indian diplomat as we believe, continues its investigation into what's happened. what are you hoping is going to happen next? and so there's a number of steps that we're looking for. first of all,
2:09 am
those involved in the killing of a leasing agent need to be brought to justice. but there's a list of 6 in canada that are facing current. the rest from india, their lives are at risk and they need to be true to provide a protection. another very important stuff that we need to see happening is that any intelligent sharing that's happening between canada and india has to be suspended. canada entered into an intelligence sharing agreement with india in 2018 . and india is not going to respect the rule of law is going to engage an extra digital killings. then there should be no intelligence thing that's happening. we also believe, but other diplomats who are posted from india have to be reviewed. we have the knowledge and intelligence that there are other members of indians, intelligence who are operating here in canada, under the guise of diplomats. so all of that needs to end. okay. i appreciate your time, pop it, seeing space pass and legal counsel of the will seek organization of canada. and
2:10 am
just to reiterate, we have an this, this is, these are an alleged information here we are, we don't have any proof that this is indeed india behind this kenning or iran. and the us have carried out a prison as well as part of a cast thought media deal. 5 american citizens held in entire on for several years on now on their way back to the us. all 5 of radians are also free off to the us. agreed to drop federal charges against them. the deal has also seen the us on free $6000000000.00 and a ranking oil revenue and wrong calling his latest from to up to 2 years of intense negotiations. a 2 hour flight from tyrone to dough has brought an end to a no deal for 5 imprisoned americans. the 2nd year, those negotiations will cast, re mediators shuffling between hotels and dough at no point,
2:11 am
and that the american and iranian policies meet face to face. the free to prisoners included us around and you'll actually see about give us an image chucky as well as environmental is more of the above. they've been accused of spying and held for several years into their own. they were released as part of the prison. this won't deal to included 5 iranians also released from the us custody. the deal with kathy orchestrated and began with $6000000000.00 of funds of frozen iranian oil money initially seized in south korea, being sent to switzerland and then to go. the ronnie and foreign ministry confirm that transaction would be the charge of the one c alt in the framework of our active foreign policy. we have unlocked our frozen assets in south korea today. god willing, these funds will be in the hands of our government and people, and this government will spend it accordingly to the needs of the people. it was a short walk from that plane through the terminal building, but it's don't quite over for them. yes, they've been met by
2:12 am
a sorry delegation. the business have been met to now by the us embassy and levels of the state department. they'll want to get them to the united states as quickly as possible, where they'll be given a medical evaluation and a security. the very thing, the form, a category ambassador to the un that this was a good deal for a whole. it was the plus 2, the 2 boxes of the uh, go, this is cuts out and that live just as the ending of the box. uh, you know, for the past 22 years would be those headphones come through over shows, move it back and forth between the washington dc. and the sites outcome is good for both kansas, especially the people who are uh, you know, having to we vision and the time it is and is also good for i would need one because the more we sold for problem or problem solve the problem. and as
2:13 am
the more our the you become more stable, there was a visible sense of relief is afraid, prisoners bowed at the flight out of terror on a monday for cattle. this has been a successful outcome to a very difficult negotiation process. but this is far from over for the iranians and americans who remain at all over several issues, including iran, new to energy program, and issues such as that will require both sides to sit down and talk face to face. iran, which is 0, doesn't much at all on sorry, as spokesman for capital is foreign ministry, an advisor to the prime minister. he says the 2 year negotiations for the prisoner exchange often face challenges at many points. there was no light at the end of the telling of it comes to the said mediation. however, in the past 2 years, and in the past months we flew a lot of the visits to both dc that on and direct and negotiations and direct negotiations that will help in various places around the world. and with our 5 megs
2:14 am
the in the southern it of, uh for mine and they say send it on we work along uh, finding a solution to this. and i think uh, one of the main difficulty that you are able to get through was making the technical side of this deal at the, at the right time. so all the things can happen at the same time and make sure that everything happens without the glitch. both sides during the negotiations went through a lot of difficulty to get the find the language that was the approved over the financial humanitarian channel. no. so, but the exchange uh and the way to get place and that there was a lot of, uh, very clear guidelines on what should be done and what it was done and did this is what we have seen here today. and therefore, we will not that worried that a last minute thing might happen and uh, you know, sabotage the whole deal. however, uh we do understand of course that it was not an easy task in that to, in both sides. there are lots of questions about it. i do believe that the,
2:15 am
the agreement that communities is quite a robust, it has the taking a lot of time and effort. a lot of the, you know, discussions over this to make sure that we have an agreement that can stand, that can withstand these uh, criticisms. and deb, this is what we have seeing right now. a demonstration has been held in libya is east and the city of done one week off. the devastating floods kills thousands of people purchased as a cooling on the public prosecutor to speed up the investigation into how to dams about the city collapsed in the heavy rains. they blame officials and not maintaining them properly. many in the crowd also called for the national unity alter years of division. the 1st of all, we pray that all the monitors will rest in peace. and i hope this is the end of all
2:16 am
catastrophes. we just ask that if there will be any rebuilding efforts that no libyan company be involved. this is because everyone in go now from the head of the municipality to all the officials are corrupt. during rush. either be left as it is or a foreign company should be involved. meanwhile, rescue workers in done are still struggling to identify decomposing bodies. these 10000 people are still missing in the city. now growing concerns about the spread of disease malik training reports. now, some tripoli, it's been over a week since thousands of people were killed when 2 dams burst and sent a wall of water in mud, crashing through the eastern city of deadman. the search for bodies goes on. thousands of people are missing and feared that
2:17 am
many bodies are so decomposed that identifying them is proving difficult and disturbing for search and rescue teams. the t then so the, the much some that are the libyan when i put on the bodies, i swear i cried. i can handle it, but it is god's well. so you have to hold up and put out the body. there was a body that was cut into 2 pots, tried before us. there was nothing to do but to point out the bodies. what can you do with so many people on accounted for, and so many presumed dead. the threat of disease increases by the day some survivors have returned to what remains of their homes and are overcome with grief. is if we found dead bodies of neighbors, friends, and loved ones,
2:18 am
i cannot explain of this, libya has been a deeply divided country for years. so nation center is like this one in tripoli haven't set up across the country. volunteers are crossing front lines, ignoring byways, and political and russ that have existed for years in order to help those in need in the east. many survivors wants to know how this disaster happened and who might be responsible for the system that i have a small family of 6 from mike spend the families that are more than 48 people, missed the gold, would punish the people who were supposed to take care of for down, the un says that more than 40000 people have been forced to free their homes in the 7 mode or side or carefully occupied. it was like a dream that we can't comprehend. we just can't comprehend to yet help from abroad continues to arrive. what so far,
2:19 am
international and living official say is just not enough. latrina. oh, to 0, tripoli. so head on the island, is there a reinforce on the american government assessing up, make sure classrooms and some areas west effected by the quick, the hit any of this month the the brought to you by visit custom had low they were cold front and swept because eastern parts of north america, bringing some very heavy rain with the weather cooler conditions as well to the eastern seaboard of the us and up into east in canada. and this is where we're going to see the west of the weather over the next few days, that deep area of low pressure. we use some very heavy rain to eastern parts of canada behind it much kyra conditions sunshine's places like new york city,
2:20 am
washington dc. though a bit of a cooler field. at the start of the week, we'll see some showers that could develop into storms across pots, southern parts of the us, much quieter across more northern areas. but we've got a cold front that's going to sweep into the north west pacific. that's going to bring some range west and parts of canada. tons of the wintry condition as well. edging in here, we may see the 1st snow of the season fall across the rockies as we go into the mid week. it was we had for the south to the caribbean and central america. we think some sundry bus effect the bahamas over the next few days with the weather as well for cuba. but it's for the south of this for costa rica as well as panama, where we are going to the west of the wet weather. and as we had for the east of this is a story of a he of heat and continues to be. so for trinidad and tobago as low as i go to you by visit cuts on the
2:21 am
the me in the us citizen are risking their lives to secretly film the ongoing persecution. fair people, 101 east reveals there never before seen footage on all just the the the holding back he watching out. is there a mind a thought top stories us our canada has expelled a senior indian diplomatic believe to be linked to the matter of
2:22 am
a c fleet in which is columbia? in june, the foreign minister says be expelled zips, not because ahead of india's intelligence agency in canada. iran in the us have carried out a prison as well as part of a comp time media to deal 5 american citizens held entire on for several years. and now on their way back to the us, all 5 radians are also free off the us agreed to drop the federal charges against the demonstration has been held in libya as eastern the city of dun and one week on devastating floods killed thousands of people are just as a cooling on the public prosecutor to speed up the investigation into how 2 jobs above the city collapsed in the heavy rains. officials blamed for not maintaining the schools reopening in the central neural co 10 days off to the devastating of quake in the hottest hit areas in the atlas mountain students, all being educated intents. b one says that the great displaced more than 300000
2:23 am
people. stephanie deca has visited one of the make shift classrooms and asked me, this is an effort to return the lives of so many children affected by this earthquake to some form of normal c, u, the government to set up. these make shift classrooms if you will, in these tense today, should be the official 1st day of school. some students arrived this morning but causes couldn't get under way, particularly because of a lack of transportation for some of the children around 50 arrived here. they went around $3000.00 to come. and that's what we understand pretty much of work in progress because challenges still remain with transportation. it was, as we've been reporting over the last week, the roads are so incredibly difficult and the villages are still hard to get to. but this is really for the villages surrounding this era. we met one young boy outside 9 years old. all asking him if he wanted to return to school. he said yes,
2:24 am
very much. his house was destroyed, his village was destroyed, and his school so. so this very much an effort to try and get things back to normal, but certainly in this country still very much reading from that are great. stephanie decker, all g 0 as me to alric rebels in northern monte say they have, sees control of 2 military bases in the town of larry near the border with mauritania. finance has escalated since un peacekeeping. troops began, withdrawing from the north. polite was demanded by molly's genta, truly to say that considering mobilizing was office and have cooled off independence day celebrations next week. and the to receives a specialist in defense on security issues on a consulting principle of jane's, which provides open source intelligence analysis. he says the situation in molly is deteriorating. the marion military as a apparently experience several setbacks. and these issues against
2:25 am
these on the militant groups which were signatories to the elders of course, of 2015. and 2 of the things that molly is facing was the g, heidi groups, the fact that he moved to is in circled in the state of locates and kind of deal with supplies. they definitely feels that the not even really theories in the back foot as it has not been seen since 2013. and it's very hard to say where the situation is going to go. but it's dissing the cause for concern. and there's of high probability that the seas will get just i think the french was to was the 1st categories because the french where very effective the targeting on the do you 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 new within groups in the rules. and so the departure of
2:26 am
the french, which was met with the degree of incredulity by some of the support groups already started the switch we're seeing now. and this was only aggravated by the departure of the you and you should do remember that the you and never had amended to enforce these. and then you don't have an offensive mandate. there was there to act as a stipulation force. so the ability to carry out operation against all the groups with limited, but the presence alone help to keep things in check. i would say 9200 mole migraines have arrived on the italian island. if la medusa italian prime minister, georgia maloney has pushed through new measures designed to help the 10 live goods speed up the rapacious ration building. if more detention centers has also been improved. hi force. it has moved from land producer around $200.00 people arriving in this latest round of different locations, bringing the total for the day to around $500.00. then i'm just starting to take
2:27 am
back up again on line producer to around $1500.00 still of course much lower than what we saw a several 1000 just a few days ago. meanwhile, 700 kilometers away in rome, italy and prime minister has been needing a cabinet ministers meeting and what she said that she had successfully brought on board. essentially the european commission president to us live on the line with whom she came to you. it's allow me to do is uh on sunday, in terms of viewing this as a european problem requiring a european solution. although some analysis really questioning just how specific that solution that they talked about on sunday really was the main purpose of his cabinet meeting though is to push through tough in measures, especially when it comes to people who arrived in italy and don't qualify for assign them so you can stay as they are currently held in circle repatriation centers. she is given the defense ministry, the task of building more of those centers. and she wants to extend the maximum amount of time that people are allowed to stay and then to 18 months. so that is
2:28 am
being seen as something of a tyrant potentially by georgia, maloney and allies that also potentially buys the time government some time to try to enact more bilateral agreements with various countries for repass creating people because one of the main problems is an insufficient member of those or non working such agreements so that when people do reach the end of that attention, that's simply given the instruction to leave and become undocumented people within easily i spoke to a representative for the international organization of migration. he said that this kind of measure had been used before and it fails. he called it useless and cruel. he'll say, pointed to the fact that the last time the numbers across the to leave with this high in 2015, 2016, only 8 percent were coming through love to do that. now it's 70 percent. so lump it is, it does remain the real acute center of this current situation or versus anti trust regulation has set how's a series of rules designed to stop all the official intelligence technology from
2:29 am
being monopolized by a few companies. the proposals come 2 months before the u. k. host of wells. first a i safety summit. the bunker has moved from london us. so as you go about protecting consume is the use of artificial intelligence on the same time, no stifling the developments if this were rapidly accelerated industry. that's one of the big questions being asked by persons antique monopoly agency, the market business, all sorts see they all think, be concerned about the power of a being in the hands of, of the home full, a very powerful tech companies, which is why they've come up with a list of proposals that include accountability, so always making sure that there is a human hand at the top of the food chain to put the brakes on. should things go wrong or indeed take legal responsibility if i, i, for instance, goes rogue. and then that's the question of flexibility. so a low income stream is to be able to freely choose between different a or
2:30 am
a all i platforms as they want. this isn't cost simply the tip of the iceberg when it comes to all of the associated risk link to our official intelligence concerns about a all i taking over people's jobs leading to mass unemployment. it's about a being used by and seed us government's autocratic regimes on the deed, rogue states. for instance, a like having the freedom to choose between life and death on the battlefield. co pays the many of these challenging issues surrounding the tank will be honest, is that the world's 1st a i summit. so that's taking place in the u. k. in november. well, leaders have been invited from the united states europe and further afield. the british appointments to reach you soon that team to have the chinese on board. we don't have cost with china has in recent years, had a very different relationship to it's use of all as efficient intelligence using for instance, facial recognition as an extension of state power. the genie is very well out.
