that is, if we want love to last. two australian national will soon learn if they'll get a chance to stop their planned execution executions in indiana. in yemen, days after retreating from a presidential palace, houthi reblts making gains despite the onslaught of saudi-led air strikes. "rolling stone "magazine hopes to restore its republicta after a scathing report. i'm errol barnett. a big welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. this is "cnn newsroom." this moment we're waiting to
11:01 pm
learn the fate two of australian national attempting to stop their planned executions in indonesia. we can show you live picture from inside the courthouse where the decision will soon be read. you see three chairs with microphones. we expect the lawyers and jurors to make the decision. the two sentenced to death by firing squad unless indonesia's state administrative court approves their appeal. this is what we're waiting for. the men were part of a group known as the bali 9 for attempting to smuggle heroin from indonesia to australia in 2005. we have more from bangkok on the appeals. there's been such a legaldam that has unfolded that it's going to end either in their executions or something much less serious. it seems new everything hangs in this decision, this verdict. what can you tell us about what's happening today?
11:02 pm
>> reporter: it really has, hasn't it? it's taken so long and legal wrangli wrangling, and it's not over yet. the wait right now has got everyone on tender hooks, not least the families to hear what the courts have decided. because it has been going on for so long and it is legally complicated, what this appeal is is to ask the courts to grant them appeal to the right of clemency. it is complicated. if the court says, yes, you can go ahead, that means there is more time. the last-ditch has proven successful, and they appeal against president widodo's denial of clemency and can say daughter that he didn't really look at all the facts when he decided to say no, you are going to face an execution squad.
11:03 pm
and at that point, death by firing squad. if it doesn't, as you say we are expecting a date set in the near future for their execution. we are still waiting both, by the way, verdicts will be read separately. we were expecting andrew chan's verdict to be read over half an hour ago. that court remain largely empty. it hasn't started yet. and then we're expecting the verdict for myuran sukumaran of the bali 9. >> the best case scenario is that their appeals are granted. that opens another legal avenue for them to pursue. what if it's denied, they are being held at what's known as execution island. how close would they be to dpaeth today's legal action isn't -- to death today if legal action isn't successful? >> reporter: it's strange, it?
11:04 pm
the execution -- we will be given a date by the attorney general. the two men will be given 72-hour notice. we know that. it will take place on what is known as execution island just off the coast of java. however, there are some potential delays because these two men won't be executed alone. there are almost a dozen others, foreign nationals and indonesian awaiting execution. all, by the way, related to drug-related crimes which president widodo has beenform that those people will face execution, restarting the unofficial moratorium on execution executions in indiana. what that submarines that the external waiting for all of these people's legal claims and ramifications to be cleared
11:05 pm
before they can go ahead. now two others, a french national and a ghanain are awaiting their legal cases to be heard. a philippinea has been denied any more legal appeals. her appeal has been denied. but she has been transferred. there are still some -- there's still time for the two lives hanging in the been teamwork lives that the ahn government has spent so much time explaining, have worked very hard to reform during their time in prison. errol? >> speaking to us from bangkok, thailand, as we watch live pictures out of jakarta, indonesia. you've just watched what appe appeared to be three judges, i presume, coming to the table there to announce whether or not the appeal on behalf of andrew chan is being granted.
11:06 pm
we are going to continue to listen and watch in to these live picture as they came in to us. and as soon as we get developments and news from this announcement, we will cross back to you to get the latest information. we'll continue to listen in as those judges give their decision. we'll bring it to our viewers as soon as we have a final verdict for you. an important note, though, drug-related crimes are the reason for most executions carried out in indonesia. there are now 130 prisoners, roughly speaking on, death row in the country. that's according to the human rights website death penalty worldwide. 71 are for drug-related crimes. 41 are believed to be foreigners from more than a dozen countries. indonesia already executed six prisoners for drug trafficking this year. that included five foreigners. again, we're going to continue to watch lives picture out of the country. for the moment, we want to get you information out of yemen. houthi fighters are battling for control of aden. pro-government forces are trying
11:07 pm
to get them out. the houthis have taken over strategic sites. we're speaking of the port in aden and the state media. saudi-led air strikes don't seem to be slowing them down. people who live in the capital city, sanaa, say they are facing some of the fiercest fighting so far. and that erupted on sunday. you're seeing and hearing some of the footage from that. saudi arabia's given the red cross the go ahead to send help to yemeni citizens, many living in the dark because of a power outage. the aid organization will fly in a plane packed with supplies and workers. a red cross spokeswoman gave us some insight into the dire situation there. >> reporter: what we do have now is positive of development of having received permission from the coalition to send the plane with medical supplies. we've not received supplies, we're working on it. we hopi it will arrive on tuesday. however, we have not yet the permission to put our boat to sail with our surgical team and
11:08 pm
medical equipment from jibuti, and we are still waiting for this to happen. the situation is first today, then it was yesterday. if i only talk about that and the intense fighting has continued, also with the air strikes, the hospitals are still finding it difficult to cope with a number going their way. also the -- we know of dead bodies lying in the streets. there is no secure way for the yemen volunteers to go and retrieve those bodies. the reason why there's a call for humanitarian aid at least 24 hours, just yesterday, is to allow people to breathe, to go out from their thousands replenish their food stocks, water. they are running out of food and water. dwroim is a country where 90% of the food is important. a country that's running dry also. the fighting is not helping the situation. >> a very serious situation there. meantime, saudi arabia has lost its first servicemen amid
11:09 pm
clashes with houthi rebels. the guards' family say they are grieving but proud. our senior international correspondent nic robertson visited their home. >> reporter: these keesz fisses condolence for the father of the first saudi serviceman to be killed since air strike in yemen began in late march. >> translator: my wife and i and all our family accept this and are proud, proud he's a martyr. he died serving his country. >> reporter: his son, an 11-year veteran in the saudi border guards. he had been ordered into battle from a desk job, reinforcement rushed to bolster defenses. >> translator: he was proud to be in the battle and among the first. that was his wish to go there. he was proud of that. >> reporter: his family say this picture was taken the day he died in what officials say was a houthi attack from across the border. and this the day he left for the
11:10 pm
front, his 7-year-old son at his side. the same day starting school. since his father's death, government officials and border commanders lavishing affection on the young boy. >> translator: we thank the royal family for their attention. the governor, too. they have helped alleviate our pain. >> reporter: and that's not the only support the family are getting. border guard officials tell us that corporal al maliki's family will continue to receive support and there will be a significant death benefit payment. his family tells us that he's been raised in rank. so that salary is going to be even higher. and the air force even named a bombing raid over yemen after maliki. all this seems lost his son who joins us and sits silently at his grandfather's side.
11:11 pm
nothing, though, denting the older mall key's patriotism. >> i want our troops to go into yemen with god's permission they will across the border and may they be victorious whether by land, sea, or air. >> reporter: generations here, each coping with grief in their own way. nic robertson, cnn, saudi arabia. >> the fighting in yemen has also claimed the life of a u.s. citizen. it's believed jamalal liba in this -- libani is the first american killed. the husband and father from california was returning from a mosque in aden last tuesday when shrapnel hit him in the back. he had gone to yemen in february hoping to bring his pregnant wife and 2-year-old daughter back to the states. >> they remember his name, they cry. he was pretty worried. he was pretty worried for the past three weeks. really upsetting.
11:12 pm
and it's really sad. i even talked to other family -- like families here, they have some american relatives back in yemen. and they don't know what to do. >> some yemenese do know what to do. they are leaving their war-torn country. the video shows a french patrol vessel evacuating daing dozens people out of aden. as al shabaab threatens another bloodbath in kenya, the public has publicly identified what they say was behind last week's school massacre. muhammad ma hud is a kenyan with past involved with attacks on other muslims and separated. we have more on that and another suspect with ties to a government official. >> reporter: we're learning new details of the alleged mastermind of the garissa attack. mohamed mohamud was in charge of al shabaab's cross border operations, according to internal documents of the
11:13 pm
interior ministry here in kenya. he's been involved allegedly in several recent terror attacks and had deep links with this country. we also learning that one of the alleged gunmen was the son of a kenyan official, that he graduated from nairobi law school. on east sunday, kenyans -- easter sunday, kenyans gathered to mourn the loss of the family members. most went to the morgue grief-stricken, trying to identify the dead. there's also growing anger here in kenya from citizens who say that the kenyan government didn't deploy nearly quickly enough. and that the gunmen were able to kill with impunity for many hours before they ended the siege. david mckenzie, cnn, nairobi, kenya. the kenyan government says it will compensate the garissa victims and their families. the country's deputy president visited with survivors sunday at a hospital in nairobi. he told them kenya would pay their medical expenses.
11:14 pm
he also said the government would cover costs for the victims' funerals to give them a "decent sendoff." meantime, churches across kenya were on high alert on easter sunday in the wake of this attack. the massacre in garissa isn't the first time that christians there have been targeted, as well. the town is close to the border with somalia and has been a target of al shabaab's efforts to divide its people. we have more. >> reporter: a security check at a church service in garissa, northern kenya. even young girls are checked for explosives or hidden weapons. bishop joseph's church has been attacked before. >> some people try to get out. and they realized that there were grenades. one was thrown from that side. and the other one from in front. >> reporter: and now another attack on garissa university where 147 people were killed after christians were reportedly
11:15 pm
separated from muslims. garissa is a town where you have mosques on one side of the road and churches on the other. it's a town that soits one of the longest religious fault lines in the world, separating a predominantly christian sub-saharan africa from a muslim northern africa. the governor of garissa county says al shabaab's attacks are aimed at creating division and hatred. >> for instance, to see a division between the non-muslims and muslims of this town. but again, that is something we need to fight. >> reporter: sitting and talking may not seem much like fighting back against al shabaab, but local religious leaders hope dialogue means understanding. >> we have been living with the christians for all the centuries. we're continuing living with them. we'll be planning together, will be co-exist. anyone who does anything to
11:16 pm
divide us is wasting his time. >> our doors are always open. ♪ >> reporter: so when people come to church or mosque in garissa, they're putting their lives in danger for something greater. peace. cnn, garissa, kenya. for those of you watching "cnn international," you can tune in to "amanpour" at 18:00 london. they will talk about how the country will cope with the ongoing threat of terrorism. a new threat in afghanistan. coming up, meet a group of isis fighters who say they're looking to recruit members from their rivals, the taliban. plus, israel's prime minister continues to push back against the pending iran nuclear deal while the u.s. president insists it's the best way to keep iran from developing nuclear weapons. and coming up later, we're get something answers about what happened at "rolling stone" magazine with its controversial rape on campus story.
11:17 pm

11:21 pm
welcome back, everyone. thanks for staying with me. israel's prime minister is blasting the tentative agreement on iran's nuclear program. the framework agreed to last week by iran and six other countries calls for an end to economic sanctions on iran. in exchange, they rabb will scale back enrichment and allow for inspections. on "stoouchate of the union," h insisted this will not stop them from developing nuclear weapons. >> i think the alternatives are not either this bad deal war, i think there's a third alternative. that is standing firm, ratcheting up pressure until you get a better deal. of course we have a mutual respectful rirngs and i always respect the presidency of the united states and this president of the united states. but as the prime minister of the one and only jewish state, when i see a country, a terrorist regime committed to our destruction, and not only to our destruction, having the path, a
11:22 pm
clear path to the bomb, it's my obligation to speak out as i'm doing now, as i'll do in any form. >> of course on the other end of the spectrum, you have u.s. president of the united stat statstates -- u.s. president unemployment saying he understands the concerns about a nuclear armed iran but believes negotiations is the best approach. he defended the deal in an interview with the new york time. here's a clip. >> what i would say to the israeli speak, however, that there is no formula, there's no option to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon that will be more effective than the diplomatic initiative and framework that we put forward. that's demonstrable. >> it's important to note it's taken a long time to get here. here's a timeline on diplomatic efforts on iran's nuclear program. between 2006 and 2010, the u.n. security council concerned iran was developing a nuclear weapon passed six resolutions targeting
11:23 pm
the nuclear program. november 24th, 2013, fast forward a few years. the five u.n. security council members, germany, and iran, agreed to an interim deal essentially freezing iran's nuclear program, easing sanctions. this so a long-term agreement could be negotiated. a year later from that with some progress but no agreement, talks were extended another seven months with a deadline set for the end of march. that's what we just passed. april 2nd, the u.s. and other world powers reached an agreement over the basis for a deal with iran. but there's still a lot of work to be done. the united nations says nearly 100 civilians were evacuated from a refugee camp in syria on sunday. thousands of palestinians remain trapped. [ gunfire ] >> isis and other rebel groups have almost complete control of yarmouk. an official with the palestine liberation organization says there are reports of kidnappings, beheading, and even mass killings in the camp. of course the refugees there are
11:24 pm
pleading for help. >> translator: as you see, brother, houses are ruined and destroyed. we are afraid to sleep in the upper floors. we as palestinian refugees are asking the plo to find a solution for the situation here. we are tire of hunger and thirst. we do haven't food or medicine here. we have nothing at all in this camp. we are really tired of this. so please try to find a solution. >> palestinian president abbas says the plo is trying to solve the problem with the least amount of loss. meantime, the afghan government is facing a growing threat of isis militants in its country. cnn found one group of fighters in kabul who are already working to sets up a terror network across afghanistan. senior international correspondent nick paton walsh has more. >> reporter: look closely at these men itching for a fight in the valley south of kabul. you can just make out a new seismic tremor in the war here.
11:25 pm
the masks, the webbing, even the breathless clumsiness of altitude, afghanistan has seen before. not this. the flag of the islamic state, isis. these men are afghans and wanted to show our cameraman their allegiance to isis, an act that could get them killed by isis rivals, the taliban. the big guns here. "we established contact," he says, "with isis through a friend in helmand. he called soying isis had come to afghanistan. let's join them. we joined and pledged allegiance." our cameraman wasn't allowed to film the sat phones they use to talk to iraq and syria. they say they're religious students who watch back catalog propaganda and at night go into villages to recruit. "we don't recruit ordinary people," he says. "we only recruit people with a military background in the government or the taliban.
11:26 pm
at the moment we have no leader, but talks are going on to choose one for us in afghanistan." isis is only just beginning here, but the timing is good. they're fighting hard or thinking about talking peace, and the young and angry have only known war might save the neolism appealing. even washington has heard that isis may slow the u.s. troop withdrawal. >> it is critical that we understand the terrible threat that the allied forces pose. from the west, they're already sending advanced guards to southern, western afghanistan to test our vulnerabilities. >> reporter: yet, whatever their strength in the swirling chaos of post america afghanistan, even these homemade flags portray a purpose in brutality ripe for blooming. nick paton walsh, kabul. another big story we're following for you coming up.

11:30 pm
a warm welcome back to our viewers here in the u.s. and all around the world. i'm errol barnett. let's update you on our top story right now. drug traffickers andrew chan and myuran sukumaran are waiting to
11:31 pm
see if their appeal is approved. a decision could be announced at any moment. we are listening in. the men were part of a group known as the bali 9, convicted for attempting to smuggle heroin from indonesia now n 2005. british -- indonesia in 2005. british police preparing for acts of terrorism. officials aren't releasing many details but say a 14-year-old boy was arrested thursday after police examined a number of electronic devices. a 16-year-old girl was arrested friday. both are out on bail. "rolling stone" has retracted its widely discredited article that detailed an alleged gang rape at the university of virginia. this after an independent review by the columbia school of journalism. they found the writer and staff at the magazine repeatedly neglected to take steps that verified the allegations that came from the single unnamed source before publishing the story. shortly after that review was posted on line, the writer of the article, sabrina irdily,
11:32 pm
apologized for what happened. she said in part reporting on rape has unique challenges, but the journalist still has the responsibility to get it right. also, the president of the university of virginia released a statement late sunday reading in part, "rolling stone's" story did nothing to combat sexual violence and damaged serious efforts to address the issue. irresponsible journalism unjustly damaged the reputations of many innocent individuals and the university of virginia." now the source surrounds an article from late last year which a university of virginia student referred to only as jackie said she was sexually assaulted by several members of a fraternity. jackie's account and "rolling stone"'s reporting quickly unraveled after media outlets began asking key questions. cnn has more. >> reporter: the "rolling stone" story shocked both the campus at uva and the nation. seven men accused of attacking a
11:33 pm
young woman over several hours. an alleged gang rape during a fraternity party. along with the outrage, there was suspicion. details began to emerge about the night the woman, named jackie, says she was raped. >> i think that that was pretty clear in the "rolling stone" piece. it was almost too perfect of a story. >> reporter: jackie's friends, alex stock and ryan duffin, say they were with her the night of the alleged attack in september, 2012. what they remember is very different from what jackie told "rolling stone." the article says that she was beaten, hits in the face. that she was bare foot. that she was bloodied, and that her face was obviously beaten. is that true? >> no. i didn't notice any sort of physical injuries. i didn't notice a lack of shoes. i didn't really notice anything. >> reporter: there were other sdrech cease. about where she met her rapist, where they went on their date, and in the most strange twist, jackie had asked her friends to text with her date, and the pictures and text messages he
11:34 pm
purportedly sent later appeared to be fake. >> there's a good chance whoever was texting was jackie. there's a definite possibility. >> reporter: as the story began to fall apart, "rolling stone" admitted they never contacted the men jackie had accused. they also admitted that alex and ryan were never interviewed by the writer of the story even though they were quoted in the article. "rolling stone" said it had taken jackie's word and failed to fact check much of her story. that's left towering questions about what's real and what's not. last month, charlottesville police said their investigation found no evidence that jackie was raped in the way that the story portrays. they were clear not to accuse jackie of lying, leaving open the possibility that something bad might have happened to her. perhaps somewhere else. >> her lips were quivering -- >> reporter: her friends tell us they believe it's possible they'll never know exactly what happened to jackie. >> i still think it's difficult to believe that she would have been acting. >> reporter: cnn, new york.
11:35 pm
despite that scathing review, "rolling stone" publisher jan wenner said the staff who worked on the story will not be fired. i spoke with senior citizen's media correspondent about the sensitive nature in reporting these stories. >> there's something to be said about sensationalism. about looking for most extreme version of a story you can tell. unfortunately, date rape and acquaintance rape is all too common on campuses like uva. there are a lot of stories you can tell about that. instead, this writer wanted to find, frankly, a more horrific, more appalling, more shocking example. and so she ended up going with the story about jackie that then did not seem to hold up. there's also something to be said for the idea that the magazine was looking for something that they wanted to be true. that it wanted jackie's story to be true, it wanted to believe jackie. and by the way, that's an
11:36 pm
understandable impulse. when we hear about victims' stories, we want to believe them and want to sympathize with them. the hard, really hard part for journal exists having to be incredibly skeptical, even cynical when dealing with victims. and yet still being human, somehow still be human and warm and empathetic. that is the very fine line that journalists face when they're covering crime and trauma. and in this case, "rolling stone" did not get it right. >> brian, i had a great question about this. next hour, you'll hear more from us on the media fallout and what it means for the future of "rolling stone." please stay tuned for that. relief may be on the way for the u.s. state of california where a severe drought is threatening vital crops. the state supplies more than 1/3 of america's vegetables and nearly 2/3 of fruits and nuts. millions of crops continue to roll out on grocery shelves despite the historic drought which is now in its fourth year. however, a change in the weather
11:37 pm
pattern could bring much-needed rain to the golden state this week. so what kind of relief is in store store? meteorologist pedram javaheri now, they've had to limit how much water to use in california because it's so limited. what relief is on the way if i? >> for april standards, significant storm system. it will bring up a foot of snowfall across the higher mountains. up to an inch of rainfall across the central valley of california, the vegetable, of course, and fruit and nut supply. it is key. it's going to make a small impact, but certainly anything is better than the little to nothing they've seen in recent months. storm system parked right offshore. here it comes, and much-needed rainfall finally entering the picture. again, get up above 4,000, 4,500 feet. that becomes significant snow accumulations across the sierra which we know historic low snow pack, about 40% of the daughter out of the sierra snow melt, comes down to california residents. we've had little to no -- no
11:38 pm
snow pack to work with. six to 12 inches in the forecast. beginning tuesday, continuing into wednesday morning. take a look, this is the snow pack by percentage. average being at the 100% mark in 2005, 2006. decent year in the snow pack department. peeks in 2011. look at it go down hill the past four years, errol was talking about the historic drought. down to 5%. the lowest percentage for snow pack in the sierra in 60 years of record keeping. any moisture will take -- ventura and los angeles county, up to a half inch of rainfall over the next couple of days with the storm system. it is the high elevation snowfall that will be impressive. california's governor put it into perspective talking about a 25% reduction over the next nine months. going to be mandatory across the state. that would equate to about $500 billion gallons of water being reduced. we know 11 trillion gallons are what is needed across the state of california to replenish the drought. this only gives you 4% of what is needed. but mother nature, of course,
11:39 pm
helps a little, as well. that certainly is good news there. speaking of rainfall, take you to east asia. look at the perspective. scattered storms about the region up to a foot or more of rainfall has come down in recent days. over 250 or so millimeters in isolated spots. across northern china, i'll share video out of the inner mongolia region. strong storm system for the month of april, as well. look at the scenes. you know some 200 bus services halted across portions of china. some people riding their bikes. some people maybe a little wiser, walking their bike. >> yeah. >> northern china. >> not safe on the roads there. and stay around for this. i want to show you something amazing. photos coming to us of the coast of the u.s. state of florida. take a look. those are sharks. >> hello. >> thousands of them. and you wonder to yourself, how do you get this picture. they were captured by a photographer from indian river by air. a company that takes pictures from a powered parachute. >> wow. >> how about that for an awesome job? the photographer says he often
11:40 pm
sees sharks but never this many. would you want to parachute over a bunch of sharks? >> no. looks like a scene out of "sharknado." >> right. all right. thank you very much. the world's biggest physics experiment is back and stronger than ever. coming up, scientists restart the large hadron collider. women cashing in in a country where only 1/3 are plied. ranking from top to bottom. i'm gonna say mercedes is the innovator. bmw just because they're pricey. the final answer? wow! [cheers] chevy. this model has the wi-fi in it? yes. that's the dream to have wi-fi in the car. get cash back for 15% of the msrp on select 2015 models. that's over $4,000 on the chevy equinox. find new roads at your local chevy dealer.
11:41 pm
what you're doing now, janice. blogging. your blog is just pictures of you in the mirror. it's called a fashion blog, todd. well, i've been helping people save money with progressive's discounts. flo, can you get janice a job?

chan. that's the 31-year-old who was appealing for his right to appeal against the denial of clemency. so the court has rejected the appeal for andrew chan. his verdict was read out first, right now as i speak. the judge is now reading out the verdict for myuran kukumaran, the 31 alongside chan, who appealinging the conviction and death by firing squad. the latest from the court room is that andrew chan's appeal has been rejected. sukumaran's verdict is being read out. we hope to get that in the next few moments. we've been awaiting tender hooks throughout the morning. courtroom was delayed at first. now the verdicts are being read out. it's been a long and lengthy process. at first we didn't know if they
11:45 pm
were going to get a chance for this appeal to take place. and let's remind everyone why they were appealing. they were convicted of drug smuggling in 2005. trying to carry more than eight kilograms of heroin --not themselves but being the ring leaders of those doing it, from indonesia to australia. they were caught, convicted, and have been in death row at bali for the past ten years. the australian gcht has been weighing in. world leaders have been weighing in, appealing to president joko widodo to grant them clemency. to forgive them. however, he stood firm. he said no. it went to the courts. we didn't think it would. and just now, andrew chan has been rejected for his appeal to go to court to appeal against the clemency. errol? >> so the appeal for andrew chan has been denied. we're waiting as we listen in to this judge reading the decision
11:46 pm
for myuran sukumaran. should we assume it will be the same decision? throughout this, have the two been deemed equally responsible up until now? would we expect the same outcome for the other guy? >> reporter: yeah, well, they've certainly presented their cases as equals in the same way. they presented exactly the same evidence. they have their lawyers presenting similar cases, saying that they are both remarkable examples of reform within prison. they've both turned themselves around. they have recognized and realized what they did was wrong. in fact, sukumaran gave an interview to a friend of his, ngo worker, who met with him several times during his time in the bali prison. he said then that, look, i thought that this would be a fast way to make a quick buck. if you like it make money fast.
11:47 pm
now i realize that drugs is not the real way to success. there are other ways, too. and i want fob forgiven for what i did. all along, they've both appealed that they have made chanchlth to their lives. they've understood and regret what they had done. of course, andrew chan has become a minister within prison. he's a religious man. holding services within the prison. and sukumaran had studied arts classes. these are the kinds of evidence they put forward along the way for every single appeal they've put forward. yes, i mean, it is quite possibly, of course. the court might look at either case separately and say, okay, we think you should be given a trite appeal and you shouldn't -- given a trite an appeal and you shouldn't. the fact that they were heard and both verdicts were given an okay by law, each man has to be dealt with separately. certainly their cases, the verdicts coming on the same day.
11:48 pm
so sadly, yes, we'd perhaps expect the same verdict. we never know. errol? >> and just this past hour, the judges in making their announcement have been meticulous to be specific about the procedures they're following and exactly why they are making the decision they have made. to bring viewers up to speed, judges in indonesia have denied the appeal for andrew chan. at this moment, they're announcing their decision on the appeal for myuran sukumaran. we will listen and bring you developments as soon as there is one. we're going to take a short break. stay with us.
