a second controlled explosion of a suspicious vehicle on wednesday authorities are now trying to establish how the attackers were funded and if there were any international links what also i can say is that this group. of some of these suicide bombers most of will. come from maybe the middle of the middle east so the financially played independent place to go to these great stable financially. this is called islamic state has said it was behind the bombings a claim officials are investigating the government must now explain why warnings about possible attacks were not acted upon on tuesday sri lanka's president admitted there was an intelligence failure. but iraq there is a debate about why the security forces of this country did not act upon

intelligence supplied by a friendly nation. i must point out that the information received by state intelligence units was not communicated to me by the officials responsible how i'd been informed of those details it might have been possible to take immediate action if you just pop amid the mounting questions the president has vowed to restructure the intelligence and security forces a decade after the civil war ended there are fears that the bombings could reignite underlying sectarian conflict. join me now from columbus journalist a jamila a national again do we know what is the latest on the investigation earlier today the government gives gives some more details about that and more or less. yes the government has shed more light about the attackers they have said that nine suicide bombers have being caught have been i really think you can even know that

there were ninety five bombers and eight of them have been identified and one of those eight was a female bomber would be permitted herself in denmark according to the cross kathy could. take me some defense also should fertilizing there are more bombers out there and i ask the public to be vigilant she said that she needed more security forces needed more time to catch the papers over sixty has been arrested but the hunt has gone to get more it's getting so also said that the bombers are from very very financially educated backgrounds so this was a concern for the g. lankan government and they are now investigating as to how does group it from here when they formed here and with that they have links to more radical groups in the country or even to some foreign parties the so-called islamic state says it was feeling the attacks it's even released a video how seriously is the government taking this claim. definitely the

government even looking to be in because i think you and i founded explosion that happened by mr brown it would come i think he said they were probing to see whether there was any funding and coffee at our big. gun plumbing the fact that you planning to. go on a what the if means that the days they're being witty on that these people corrected and whether they were going. to be. cool and the family could see it but so far nothing concrete about the mark from the cuban government. to sort of the government has also said that. perhaps that. i'm drunk and extremely worried that them almost everything going on because the forces have launched a massive manhunt and manhunt there have been finding more like your view on the

exact count so there has been more controlled explosion politically. more so if you don't have anything worth the people are not going to go up that road and then kill peter and panic. concrete. thank you very much for bringing us up to date. thank you. north korea's leader kim jong un is driving east and russia ahead of a summit with president putin in the summit in the city of talk will be defined between the two leaders mean topics include economic cooperation and north korea's nuclear program kim is concerned about u.s. led sanctions against his country over its banned nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs russia has called for the sanctions to be eased. because one is covering this story for us and joins me now and we posed to skins reception.

well kim was received at the russian border with bread and salt which is a russian tradition for welcoming guests and he was also welcomed by an honor guard in vladivostok the city itself has taken some pains to prepare for kim's special limousine they even dug out the driveway to the train station according to some media reports so that his limousine would fit through the gate there and there are also additional security precautions in place the summit is expected to take place on the island which is an island and a peninsula just off of all stocks and authorities have said that maritime traffic will actually be closed down in the area for the time of the summit this meeting has symbolic significance for russia of course which is trying to get an important more important role in the denuclearization process of the korean peninsula and to

really show the world its importance on the world stage so if you do small why this meeting is taking place now and what sort of expected expectations odd bit of this summit. well russia has actually invited kim to come to the country several times and the timing of this meeting now is interesting and it is significant it comes at a time when talks between the u.s. and north korea have actually stalled there was a summit in february between trump and kim and north korean officials actually walked out last week north korean officials have been railing were railing against u.s. secretary of state. and saying that he should be taken off the talks so this is really kim kind of showing the world and showing the u.s. as well that he has other diplomatic options now when it comes to expectations it's

hard to know whether we can expect a breakthrough here this is the first meeting and the two leaders between the two leaders and they'll probably just be sizing each other up for now it does a little bit of both the relations between the two countries how much influence does russia actually have on. well in some ways russia could be a good intermediary in this conflict where is the u.s. is seen in north korea as kind of enemy number one russia has historic ties the soviet union was north korea's first back her main backer its first ally but when it comes to economic leverage china of course has much more leverage because their north korea's main trading partner kim has come to russia as well looking for more trade opportunities so there could be some leeway there some way to get russia to get more leverage through the economic cooperation that they could the two

countries could build but it is significant to know that putin will be going to china for an economic forum just after his meeting with kim and presumably north korea will also be on the agenda there. right emily. thank you very much for that. now to some other stories making news around the blood in me an marquees fifty people working in a mine are believed to have died in a mudslide in the north of the country the magic brantley came from a collapsed reservoir used to contain materials discarded during the mining process reports say three bodies of so far recovered and more than fifty remain missing. is of africa at least fifty people have died in flooding and landslides caused by heavy rains southern and eastern parts of the country have been particularly hard hit since the start of the still weekend in some of the areas rescue workers have begun to dig through collapsed and other buildings. levy has begun the.

sentenced to jail by a hong kong court. as they arrived to hear their sentences some spoke out in favor of civil disobedience to the crowds that are gathered to support them. and i didn't recruit was from prison. i was a stronger and more mob. then look back at. the sentencing is the latest stage in years long protests which began back in twenty fourteen with the so-called umbrella movement for democracy the street protests back then was sparked by beijing's decision to allow only candidates from a pre-approved list to take part in the election of the territories chief executive the move led to demands for completely free elections and some of those who were sentenced today founded the occupy movement a mass sit in to block the city's financial district the movement joined with other

student led protests and the demonstrations snowballed into what later became known as the umbrella movement some one point two million people are said to have taken to the streets and although the protests started out peacefully there were clashes with the police. that civil unrest might not hand with the organ. being put in jail as they were taken away for their prison terms they urged people to take to the streets this sunday. and for more let me drill in joshua one he's an activist and secretary-general of the pro-democracy think tank demo says still welcome joshua first of four what is your reaction to the prison sentences. has been generated by beijing government was hong kong also one country two system almost by china act be eroded to be one country one and offices. so what does this verdict mean for the people in hong kong who still believe in the ideals of the

umbrella movement calling for more autonomy and some amount of freedom from that for the ten. what hong kong people asked for is just free election and democracy which needs to be oskin for the right to freely elected leader all. day today we recognize a retired professor of law make her and leader of the movement have been joe and lock up not open prison we just hope to encourage more of the people not only in hong kong but also around the world to keep their eyes in this global city how we not keep silence to confront great beijing suppression. so i expect in more protests to take this is weekend. i believe thousands of hong kong citizen will come to the streets to show their support to again suppression on political prisoners but there are people there who think that beijing may have played

a role in a case influenced the dish of process which led to this fizzing sentences for the pro-democracy movement media's how likely is that. i believe beijing has strongly interfere interference has strong interference on hong kong's system especially we recognize how the government should do use charge that late on human rights principle and strongly criticized by united nations the right coming to you as we know that the charges faced by their leaders are public nuisance with just a law that in a former colonial era and also thought late on i c.c.p. out so how come on government which is to use discussion of charge to pocket the leaders it i believe is because of the instruction and pressure from beijing. to joshua wang in hong kong thank you very much for talking to. you.

the united nations security council has adopted a heavily watered down resolution on sexual violence in conflict zones that measure was originally put forward by germany as a centerpiece of its security council presidency the russian and chinese objections led to extensive rewrites before the u.s. threatened to veto the resolution entirely now critics say the end result is not to justice to the victims of sexual violence in war zones. women in syria are hinge a muslim women women in all wars throughout the ages allegations of rape as a weapon of war spring up wherever there is armed conflict rape is a war crime under the geneva convention but enforcing its prosecution has long remained unattainable german foreign minister who has brought this issue front and center during germany's term as chair of the un security council. also coauthored an opinion piece in the washington post with actor angelina jolie urging the perpetrators of sexual violence be brought to justice while presiding over the

council germany introduced a resolution which would make it easier to prosecute rapists and help victims among its supporters not. the activist and nobel prize laureate who survived years of i asked captivity and rape in her speech she criticized the u.n. for taking little action after use e.d.s. came forward to describe their ordeals also so now so i think we were hoping that our testimonies would pave the way for bringing us to justice. however thousands of ideas elements are free thousands are detained without trial judge's own nephew we come here today to ask that those perpetrators of genocide be brought to justice. amol clooney the international human rights lawyer who represents nadia and other war crimes survivors give a strong call to action against i.a.s. comparing passing the resolution to the trials of the perpetrators of the holocaust following world war two. excellent sees ladies and gentlemen this is the your

nuremberg moment your chance to stand on the right side of history. and to the thousands of women and girls who must watch i think members shave off their beds and go back to their normal lives while they the victims never can the council approves of the resolution but only after the text was watered down in order to get u.s. support washington insisted language referring to reproductive health be removed before it approves the text advocates have warned it will be extremely hard to enforce the diluted version. fun of the beating of the concert for us assessment. german foreign minister heiko mass called the adoption of this resolution a milestone moment but the text certainly was very watered down and that was at the request of the u.s. mission which took issue with the text mention of survivors access to reproductive

and sexual health care the u.s. seeing that as a tacit endorsement of caution and so u.n. diplomats scrambled to remove the mention of that entirely earning some rebuke from other missions namely the u.k. france belgium and south africa all of which say that survivors of sexual violence should have the option of considering terminations of pregnancy in the wake of rape that said overall this is symptomatic of a wider trump campaign to remove financing for these issues we've already seen the trumpet administration in recent months take away funding to n.g.o.s working with survivors of sexual violence to carry out abortions so overall this is certainly a setback for how effective the resolution will actually be. that was the w.'s head in the humphrey but it's widely accepted that the volatiles rate too much plastic this too much plastic in the oceans and the a mountains of food on land but what

can be done about it we've been to look at an innovative way of recycling plastic developed by a dutch research and design studio their project is being realized in a park in greece. plastic recycled into a new form with a new function. the seeding elements and the greek port city of saloniki are part of a project called print your city. plastic waste disposal i called this furniture from a three d. printer. the idea came from the dutch design studio the new rock panel sockets from greece as one of the projects founders bless the last is a mis understood material which is it's not the material that's the problem because and how we use it to the packaging for example yeah but i did my schematic might only be used for a few seconds but it never degrades i could not but you know if we use it in some other way later we can change things and improve our lives now. this is precisely what kano soccer's hopes to achieve with the project. we designed the

furniture to allow people to experience public spaces in a new way with different last years. rather than sitting right they can relax a bit more if the it i thought they were sitting in their own living room. this is the feeling we'd like to put across these and bring private living space into public spaces and the fundamental emotional core to. anyone who wishes to participate can suggest designs online or select pieces of furniture from the various templates the ones that are selected most often go into print try to save it i was so happy when i was walking through town one day and saw that a bench i had designed had been printed and then it's there for everyone to get thank you to the others that you know. as soon as a new design template goes online the amount of recycled plastic needed for the three d. printing process is calculated automatically. at the zero waste or research initiative

of the new raw people in festal uneek you can find out about recycling and deposit the plastic trash cleaned sorted shredded and melted down. personally i don't like to just throw things out at all but it was a side i think we ought to have a responsible attitude toward our planet. after all we use its resources year by year. it takes about seventy kilos of plastic and ten hours to make a park bench from a three d. printer. none of the colorful seats have already been placed around for saloniki center and more are planned for venture early the idea is to spread them all around the city. the combination of recycling and design is proving a hit with the locals and visitors alike. it's very

impressive to see that you can transform waste into something a static in this way you're picking up everyone can enjoy it and sit here with their friends it's a definite gain. nothing negative about it. and if the park benches ever fall apart they'll simply be recycled it's a good idea and a sustainable one. foot full of live signal reached the final of the german cup for the first time ever to dismantle hamburg three one use of open the scoring for leipzig just travel and it's into the match but dockery yeah tennis struck the right back to give hamburg fans hope that is didn't go in early the second half followed by a mean strike finish things off for leipsic. a live signal to the winner of tonight's other semifinal game draymond hosting by new nick the brave and a feeling good about their chances against abundantly guns lead is one big reason

brylin haven't lost a hole at home in the last thirty seven german cup matches. calling it excitement in premium would be an understatement this was the last training session before their double header against byron munich in the league and cup. a thousand fans showed up bremen are dreaming big. sleepy old enough stuff to live in braman and if i look around my neighborhood it's all decked out in green and white more than usual. and of course you can say that realism has crept in after we lost in munich one nil but i take the disappointment here and braman with pride as a compliment you get a compliment of just us then he got he from. the loss and byron came only after bremen defender mula spoke of it was sent off at the hour mark forcing the visitors to play a man down the game's lone goal came courtesy of

a deflection by that was the league match in munich the german cup matches in braman you have a civilian both teams have something to lose but especially by are because it's a semifinal we've had a very very good cup run this season and now we want to reach the final by all means. reach the final just like braman didn't two thousand and nine and bring the cup home braman are dreaming big again. and now for some tennis the boss alona open so his biggest upset so far as world number three alexander said i have family in the second round to chillin in the class heidi now heidi is what's called a lucky loser in a tournament tennis because he lost during qualifying but it's not been because another player dropped out he lost the first such a set ever but took the next two to ducks the biggest win office korea.
