12:04 pm
it happened in the evening while we were sitting on the rocks. we heard some noise of people talking so we told each other to be quiet and listen to the noise. we weren't sure if it was for real so we stopped and listened and it turned out to be true i was shocked. it was a miracle i didn't know i didn't answer it took me some time to answer when he came out of the water he asked me how are you i'm ok replied. the team and their coach had ventured into the case in the show gripe province after football practice ignoring warnings about dangerous monsoon floods. and massive search of it was launched when they failed to return despite no one knowing that the boys were even a life. nine days later they were found safe divers carried out an unprecedented rescue operation over three days racing against rising waters and

12:06 pm
the public demonstrators have actually kept up protests in front of the white house for three nights in a row now last night trump told us network c.b.s. that he did agree with u.s. intelligence claims that russia had meddled in the twenty sixteen vote and said that numerous times before and i would say that that is true but you haven't confirmed putin specifically do you hold him personally responsible well i would because he's in georgia of the country just like i consider myself to be responsible for things that happened in this country so certainly as the leader of a country you would have to hold him responsible yes. so trant very clearly facing a firestorm in washington but what do ordinary americans think. claire richardson traveled to trunk country in tennessee for where she found out but most people aren't too concerned. donald trump is getting an easy right here in tennessee the
12:07 pm
uproar over his summit with vladimir putin hasn't reached this range cowhorse classic the writers getting ready to compete think the talks were nothing to worry about they're happy to see trump talking to putin and think you probably did a good job or at least tried his best i think that no matter who is in office somebody can always do a better job and they're always going to be criticized for whatever they do. i do feel that president term does have our best interest at heart. i think that is mr personality it's going to be a little better i am impressed with the fact that he like most presidents of the past or human make mistakes and he's willing to admit it and come back and attempt in his fashion to fix some. skepticism in trump heartland also runs deep of how the media is portraying this summit with putin and why politicians are bickering over it. republican state senator paul bailey says there's simply not enough information
12:08 pm
to judge tom's performance there's just a lot of speculation out there from others especially those politicians that want to criticize the meeting but in reality we do not know exactly what took place behind closed doors and i'm assuming that it was a good meeting and i'm assuming that our president basically was very pro-american and he certainly let president putin know that. but some republicans have condemned trump for what democrats say was disgraceful or even treasonous appearing to believe in adversaries denial of election interference over information from his own intelligence service says the republican leadership has been frustrated by the putin trump summit because they think it's given democrats more fodder to rally their base around they would prefer voters to be thinking about things like the tax reform plan passed last year as well as the strong state of the u.s. economy as november's mid-term elections come up their hope. that the scandal surrounding this summit will blow over quickly but trump supporters here never
12:09 pm
thought it was a problem to begin with they don't think putin is taking him for a ride. let's not look at some of the other stories making news around the world britain's press association news agency is reporting that british police believe they have identified the suspects responsible for an attack on a former russian double agent and his daughter in march. and his daughter fell ill in solsbury after being exposed to. a military grade nerve agent the suspects the police have identified are believed to be russian nationals. to accuse a state of emergency has come to an end the country has been under emergency rule since a failed coup attempt to years ago it's allowed president and on to rule by decree and crackdown on the opposition the government has already proposed a stringent terrorism bill to replace the measure. hungary's withdrawing from united nations agreement to manage world wide migration foreign minister. said the

12:11 pm
because they're the result of something shameful rape carried out by fighters during the bosnian war of one thousand nine hundred two to one thousand nine hundred five so the children grew up marginalized but now in their mid twenty's some of them are fighting for their rights we have this exclusive report from the bosnian capital sorry a. twenty four year old usage was conceived when a croat soldier raped her mother during the war in bosnia growing up after the conflict without a father surname was enough to mark as an outcast. children born of war aren't recognized as victims of war in bosnia and that often leads to discrimination. and i just your program is. the most common problem these kids face during their upbringing is with documents that's because their documents have names missing on them so these kids have problems when they want to start

university. now i know is publicly defying social stigmas and challenging bureaucratic barriers she co-founded the forgotten children of war bosnia's first ngo linking children of rape so they can lobby together for recognition. twenty five years after the war our goal is to let these children come out and let both the bosnian state and society know that we exist so that we get legally recognized by the government. in geo for war children is itself in its infancy across bosnia fifteen members have joined so far but founders are searching for more. olen movie was conceived want to serve a soldier raped his mother in one thousand nine hundred ninety three these children born of ethnic cleansing are now working together to break lingering ethnic barriers. but it was. long before i met
12:13 pm
anya i knew there were more of us. there was only a matter of time until we finally met at a table and shared our stories and experiences. it's not known how many children of war there are in bosnia today some estimate that twenty thousand women were raped during the conflict and that around four thousand of them had children as a result. many rape survivors kept the assaults and their children's paternity a secret women like alina. posted after my child was born i hate her because i was afraid. i thought someone would take her away or attack or kill her. alina who asked to speak anonymously was twenty three when an enemy soldier raped her she didn't tell her daughter but she learned the truth from her mother's police
12:14 pm
report that she discovered by chance. i know i know since she find out how she was conceived my daughter has been driven by raich rage against society of rage because she is an outcast they swept to sunder the rug as if none of us had ever happened they denied it when we showed ourselves they only talked about us when they needed something like our votes when there are elections. by asserting themselves publicly invisible children can become a symbol of progress for the country a bridge towards ethnic reconciliation and societal progress but if ignored these young men and women can become another symbol of a society stuck in a cycle of post-war divisions and zero ethnic politics. but for now voices like are the only ones breaking the silence about bosnia's invisible

children. if the state doesn't want to talk about it somebody needs to that's why i feel responsible if i've started something i need to see it through to the end it's the only way to finally achieve peace after all that's happened. in nicaragua the organization of american states has condemned human rights abuses committed by police and civilians against anti-government protesters now the demonstrators originally took to the streets in april to oppose government welfare cuts but a heavy handed response from security forces has prompted a wider challenge to the government. after a hard fought battle to regain this neighborhood paramilitary forces loyal to nicaraguan president daniel ortega show they are firmly in control it's the first time that pro-government forces have taken over more nimble a key opposition area in the country's third biggest city. demonstrations here

12:21 pm
escalate and hope that donald trump the u.s. president will not escalate himself further and that china will not react and swamp talk to think that's probably a good idea but it is another step in the school ation and who knows where it will and there are already much higher sums and all sorts of products in discussion being waved around but under the w t o rules it is allowed for the e.u. to do this e.u. at least argues that it sees the industry in serious danger and jobs at stake i'm a cost of our or a close humor of steel how does this entire situation trickle down to me. well it will trickle down whether it will trickle down to you or me that's a question but. economists say that the companies involved will have to pay higher steel prices the car industry warns about the c european association. complaining that the e.u.
12:22 pm
is neglecting that steel demand is already picking up because of the economy and this would add to the pressure whether it will trickle down to us as a as a measure of whether companies will then pass on their costs to the consumers there is doubt that they will in order not to stop sales but you can't be sure of that. or you part that the five for stock exchange for us thank you so much. now dame for a sales forecast for the third quarter fueled by fears that the all my marketplace is news ing momentum that's also lowered its revenue guidance what a year at the company no expecting to make two hundred million dollars less than previously forecast and use columns as anybody faces overwhelming competition from other retailers. beefing up their or their presence last month e.p.a. slashed three hundred jobs in silicon valley. ryanair is set to cancel sixty six hundred flights next week to two cabin crew strikes in

12:24 pm
the financial crisis struck the two brothers refused to give up the trade that their forefathers began in the eighteen hundreds. making bells is labor intensive and time consuming and then output plunged by sixty percent in the wake of the financial crisis alongside a fall in church donations but the brothers refused to shut down instead they focused on exporting their bespoke chimes. there's a moral satisfaction that comes with continuing something your grandfather did your great grandfather your great great grandfather it's quite significant you know right. now more than half the gallon of production is ringing out in countries like australia africa and the us. christofferson thomas sons will continue the business much to the relief of their fathers who feared it would end with them. there was no way i was going to let all my fathers and uncles efforts in building all of this be

payments and smartphone shopping. china is the biggest online market in the world. of all chinese consumers make at least one smartphone purchase a month the huge delivery demand could soon eclipse the number of available human couriers. hundred million packages a day are delivered in china in future it'll be a billion there won't be enough humans to make the deliveries we need more robots to fill the gap. the little yellow horse is equipped with g.p.s. sensors and cameras and travels up to five kilometers it can't however climb stairs . its weakness is that it can't deliver directly to the door like a human but it's still quite practical the robot delivers relatively quickly. similar robots exist in the u.s. and germany so the last stretch of road to the consumer could likely be covered mostly by robots in future. and their minds are on the top stories we're following
