11:07 am
that live just as the ending as the box. you know, for the past 2 years, wouldn't be observant, cut the offer shows movies back and forth between the washington dc. and the size outcome is good for both kansas especially that people who are you know, having to, we envision and they have time for this. and is also good for, i would be joining because the more we sold for problem or problem solve the problem. and as the more the, our, the jump, the drum was table and there was a visible sense of relief is a free prisoner's boat at the flight out of town, or on a monday to catch all 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 is new to the energy program. and issues such as that will require
11:08 am
both sides to sit down and talk face to face iran con, which is 0 the as well. that spring and now highly jo castro's waiting for those americans to return at washington, dallas at port. so take us through what happens one sidelines sammy, we are still waiting to see whether they have already reached american soil. the us government is keeping this flight from doha to washington under tight wraps, perhaps because of the delicate nature of this deal. and this being that final so important step when we eventually will see those 5 released us prisoners descending and touching us soil for the 1st time. now earl hours earlier, any wrong, there was already a home coming for the release. you want him prisoners who the us dropped federal charges against they were accused of violating sanctions against iran. 2 of them
11:09 am
arriving in t. ron to a hero's welcome. and of course there's that final piece which is the money that was released to iran. that was unfroze and $6000000000.00 worth and the us by the administration has been getting a lot of heat overs, particularly that part of this deal with republicans criticizing it and accusing biting of caving to the demands of hostage takers and having the us, hey, a ransom and also accusing the situation of allowing now we want to use that money for malign purposes. the white house has responded to that saying that this money will be closely monitored by us officials. and we'll be only available to ron for the purchase of food and medical supplies. but the final capstone of this deal, if you will, we're still waiting to see the images of those iranian american uh,
11:10 am
prisoners arriving on us soil, which could happen now at any moment. and once we have pictures of those americans back in the us as types who are united with assemblies, how is that going to feed into the control? as you mentioned, the criticism of this deal. yeah, we're seeing really the republican presidential candidates and particular pile on with their criticism against spite it. and for this, saying that this would endanger other americans abroad, that it would incentivize countries to take americans of hostages in order to use them as leverage. and also complaints that among those 5 iranians that had charges dropped in the us. 2 of them have said that they wish to remain in the us and that is causing concern among some republican candidates saying that they could be a national security risk. again,
11:11 am
has been emphasized that these 5 iranians that were facing charges were all for non violent crimes. re, uh, related to sanctions evasion, but certainly this is only the beginning of criticism as were less than 24 hours out from the announcement of the steel and biting. of course is facing a lot of heat as he approaches the next presidential elections, knowing that iran is really a political slash point for americans that promote strongly emotions on both sides . all right, we'll leave with that. thanks so much. hi. be jo castro, of the now hundreds of people have protested in libya's eastern city of data that demanding accountability of the devastating floods that killed thousands of people a week ago. protest and set fire to the
11:12 am
home of the cities. man. they want the public prosecutor to speed up an investigation into how to dams collapse off the heavy rain. residents, blame officials for not properly maintaining them. the 1st of all, we pray that all the montez will rest in peace. and i hope this is the end of all catastrophes. we just ask that if there will be any rebuilding efforts that no libyan company be ever involved. this is because everyone in go now from the head of the municipality to all the officials are corrupt. government issued either be left as it is or a food company should be involved. might look for ya, joins us now live from aaa. so my, well, this the off the 9th of a month, 9th of protests looked like that. and as well at the moment things are very tense. nobody knows, you know what's going to happen. we started hearing reports that some rescue teams

11:14 am
a budget of more than $2000000000.00 to rebuild the city. but, you know, as you heard in that protest, there's a interview. he said, you know, we don't want them that they're all corrupt, they're not going to rebuild. we want, we want international, they want a for it either want international management of this crisis and of the rebuilding process because people here just, there's a severe lack of trust with libyan officials and tell us what the state of recovery is looking like people getting enough help now we're still hearing stories about individuals having to go themselves to rubble with pick folks and shovels. the scale of the destruction is, is i think on imaginable. i mean, even just, just looking at it. i don't think the pictures are giving us the just the step of
11:15 am
the, or the scale of how bad this really is. we've been seeing pictures of, of people, you know, with little shovels because no, no rest your teams have arrived to them. the little shovels just taking in there, you know, in the ropes, in the, in the rubble trying to get to their family members that they, they believe are still meters in, in, in meters below the ground. so people are, are really angry that the, that the forty's haven't been able to ex, quick enough and there hasn't been enough equipment sent into the city. and so they want just this, you know, we've been taught, even though we've been talking to a lot of people, i mean, and so in the end, all of them say that the good fees downs authorities knew they had. they had a lot of problems. there were risk and fears, but yet nobody did anything. so to, to fix the downs and,
11:16 am
and they are the ones who are responsible for this disaster and the loss of thousands of lives will leave it there. thanks so much medic trying a mass funeral is being held in the democratic republic of congo for 57 people killed during a protest against the presence of un peacekeepers. relatives of the victims were able to view that remains 3 weeks after they were killed. and that i gotta be most happy reports a funeral if last for those killed during n t, you admission protest in august of to days of negotiating with the government of the democratic republic of congo. the loved ones of some of those killed and the purchase can vary that this is a picture of my young boy. i'm wondering why he was killed and why he deserves to be killed like this. god have mercy on me. god heffner's. charlotte, son was a monk hundreds preparing to take part in a band, riley and goma, organized by
