it's a pretty area i mean. if there are thousands of refugees that we just threw in one small town on the way back from time to settle it's not just one sound so i see the lot more a lot. and yeah it especially difficult for say three livelihoods deciding factors like fish and then there is a lot of cases here for example we've destroyed it means that it's going to take them a lot longer to get back on their feet. mr. seaton for a lot of fodder and makers are so fearful that farm. that's another a. lot. of us from the loss of one family members of course. and for these survivors that you're describing trying to come to terms with what's just happened how they coping with the aftermath. well i think it's really

i think generally speaking the divisions people who. are very good at coping with truth about these and thirty generally speaking are very good at managing them as well. and is paying off for full market social affairs minister just to provide some counseling services for them. which will definitely be. needed. i mean i think yeah there's a there's a shared sense of trauma here and it's the second tsunami to occur in a several months. i think people were slightly slightly worried when they saw their words coming here that obviously reflected what they'd seen in social media or. in fact a little bit more frightening for them but at the same time it was a good thing because they knew what to do and i think a lot of people got away and ran safety certain numbers even though. there's

a lot of. people who were quite well prepared right and that dealt with that but it is in terms of the psychological side of things you will see i mean it's very hard to stay afloat into quite a lot of people today who are quite devastated ok. yeah i think they'll take a long time to hear their point well i guess so thank you very much for the latest update pleasure. a court in pakistan has sentenced former prime minister nawaz sharif to seven years in jail for corruption he was found guilty on one of two charges involving his family's business dealings sheriff denies any wrongdoing and says the charges are politically motivated the three time prime minister was removed from office by the supreme court last year in july he was sentenced to ten years in prison over the purchase of luxury apartments in london he was released pending an appeal.
