withheld the recent bill is memo for weeks lawmakers have not been given redacted declassified version of the complaint with spud democrats to launch an impeachment inquiry against trump the complaint is at least sparklies related to a call between trump and ukrainian president. in which trump urged him to investigate democratic politician rival joe by. let's go straight now to. washington bureau bob the u.s. director of national intelligence is testifying on the complaint of the with the what has he said so far. well i'm just going to read out a couple of statements that he made in the past few minutes he said he is not partisan and he is not political he stressed that he said that he has served under 8 presidents that he's taken the oath of the constitution at 11 times he said that

he wanted to clear up that he had upheld his responsibility to follow the law every step of the way in the matter that is before us and he also wanted to state his support for the whistleblower and the rights and the laws now he is at the moment being essentially grilled by the house intelligence committee chairman adam schiff who said that it was the most graphic evidence yet that the president of the united states has betrayed his oath of office then we heard from devon newness now he's a ranking member of the house intelligence committee a republican he accused the democrats of launching an information warfare operation against president trump so like i said at the moment. is taking place at the moment and we're keeping an eye on it here in washington now the whistle bill is complain says the white house trying to knock down drag because of telephone calls to ukraine how damning are these revelations bob dylan. well as you can

imagine they're pretty damning and of course you know if we're referring as well we have to refer back to the complaint when we're talking about these revelations because you know it's very clear that in those phone calls or in the complaint it caused a lot of concern i just wanna read just one or 2 little things from this complaint that said in the course of my fishel juvies i've received information from multiple u.s. government officials that the president of the united states is it is using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 us election so essentially what happened was that we had this you know complaint which was filed on oldest 12th and then on august 16th actually the acting director of national intelligence mcguire joseph mcquarrie talk office and you know then it was the questions are being asked why did it take so long why was. why did it take so long for all of this to come to light of course

it's just left to more questions until we get to the we hear from joseph mcguire today we're not really going to have a full picture of is really what is really taking place if august soliciting foreign interference interference in the 2020 elections sounds like a very serious charge and the testimony is still going on in the u.s. as we speak but what are ordinary american thing about these developments justice and investigation have to undermine support for trial. you're absolutely right it's ongoing everyone here in the united states in particular in washington is glued to the television those old 3 main news networks are are basically broadcasting this live to the nation now interestingly here in the united states support for impeachment has never been very strong and that's in many respects why the democrats have hesitated so strong in beginning this inquiry this in pietschmann to inquiry many polls even taken during the you know the russia

investigation. showed that even democrats were against going through with their continuing with an impeachment inquiry of any sort towards president trump and the latest poll which was actually taken just this week it shows. a question which was put to people with regards to ukraine if you know there were revelations which were pretty damning against president trump how would they feel about it pietschmann inquiry it actually showed slight majority of americans were in favor of that so like i said we have the full picture here it's going to be very difficult to know really what the sentiment here is in the united states with regards to an impeachment inquiry right as the testimony that continues in washington. is keeping track of it thank you very much for now of course we'll be in touch with you throughout the day. to the not to france and a former french president jacques chirac has died he was 86 chirac dummy's french

a strong up for thousands of refugees stranded in the water on country german diplomats have described conditions in them as inhuman investigating those reports is almost impossible but a d.w.t. managed to meet some camp survivors by travelling tunisia which is south of libya a warning our report contains pitches that some of you might find distressing. these images were recorded by refugees in different camps in libya they show appalling conditions human rights activists say the images are credible we came into direct contact with 2 refugees by a messaging services they've been interred in a libyan migrant camp for 2 years they talk to us by a voice message we change their voices for their own protection. we've been tortured with scared we're suffering and dying from various diseases. we were kidnapped we became victims of violence we're starving people have died lives are

disgusting so we appeal for our voiceless voice to be heard. we are innocent refugees living in a land of hell. are. in need we speak to refugees who went through this hell. one of them is 18 years old we call her she was kidnapped while fleeing from somalia and taken to a hidden building in the libyan desert many other star on the journey across the sahara i mean us kidnappers demanded $8000.00 for her release they tortured amina to increase the pressure her parents spent force to listen to it on the phone. the whole of the rituals of what they changed me up hung me up and tortured me with electric shocks. they tortured men with electric shocks to their genitals and

women of with shocks to their breasts until they cried and screamed loudly. they did it so they would get the money faster to learn how to stand as a consul for. the torture a systematic many other refugees describe similar methods. about 1600 refugees live in this camp south of the sahara they were all rescued from libya. this man from sudan doesn't want to reveal his true identity either and asks that we call him again he says when he was in prison he was told the good. people came and bought us like slaves. and they said we let you work and you get money for so. that in the end you didn't get any money. they said you're a slave you're a black man they even woke us up in the middle of the night to torture us to go

would look. horrific stories we're hearing from refugees inside this. area they've seen and experienced things that could even have imagined before now here they are the 1st time that life is not easy here to all the hope for the greatness that. many hope to reach. we managed to meet someone who profits from the refugees suffering he calls himself of the lousiest occupation migrants model for $500.00 he brings migrants across the sahara to libya but if they can't pay the driver sell them to torture chambers of their lives he's understands why they do that. or not is it the women they say i spent money on you know what am i supposed to do i want my money back and i want profit on top of that that was when i started torturing people. we often hear refugees say that they're not put off by stories like this the smugglers other only hope and

they're prepared to pay any price even if it means risking their lives. and that report by the modern look joins me in the studio welcome now you've just got back from an asia sunday distressing stories we heard in your report what struck you most in your conversations with refugees there what impressed me most i think is the resilience strength of the refugees they went through unspeakable things horrible trauma and i met for example a woman from darfur in sudan she witnessed the execution of her loved ones and she decided to flee she traveled through the sahara desert she saw people falling down the cars because the cars that go really fast for the sahara desert she saw people dying of thirst she ended up in one of these torture chambers where she was tortured and raped for several months then finally she got out she managed to get

on a dinghy a rubber dinghy on the mediterranean on you know she said she saw it she thought it's she's already close to save europe but then this boat was the doorstep that by the libyan coast guards which is by the way financed and trained by the european union they brought her back to a detention center in libya and from there she was finally evacuated and then i met her and she was so strong she was really impressive. strong and i just thought she still has hope you know and she. is really a resilience in the face of a great adversity these cases that we saw in the report individual cases random cases or are these is this the feet of most of the refugees who are in that area well this torch and extortion for example a systematic also the u.n. confirms that the detention centers in libya they work on a business model which is based on smugglers traffickers. forced labor sometimes also many human rights groups they confirm that these slave markets these are not

an exception many african migrants are being sold as construction workers or a sex slaves too so it's a very widespread phenomenon and what the international community is just looking away from these abuses that we have seen actually know well a bit maybe a saw the united nations they are totally aware of the problem they also do these evacuations from libya to tunisia where they said several times that. one should dismantle these detention centers that no my again no refugee should be held in a prison. they are also present that's why these evacuations are possible but in some they're not so the refugees and migrants are all on their own and. the reason for that they say is that they don't get access by the government to these detention centers to talk to humanitarian work and he's working for doctors without borders he said well we had no problem in entering there we were there on our own

team of 5 trying to take care of 600 refugees in these deplorable conditions you know so are the people smugglers or the human traffickers the villains in this who are peace it depends i spoke to refugees who said you know there are my friends helping me to get out of my war torn country out of violence and also some made good experience as they say ok i paid them the money he brought me to the spot but also there are also these examples where the $1.00 we have in the report who clearly sympathizes with his drivers that he says at least his drivers are the one who are selling the refugees to the torture camps so they are these and that but also you have to mention that before 2015 it was perfectly legal to to transport migrants from music to libya it was always. part of the daily life there migrants from west africa always used to work and live. normal but then in 2015 the european

union put pressure on the chair to close the border of course in order to prevent migration to europe so you could say that the 1st order of europe to africa is now there marvin miller thank you very much for your report as well as your insights on the story thank you afghanistan as for praying for a presidential election this weekend amid tight security there has been upsurge of terrorist attacks ahead of the vote most of them claimed by the taliban the extremists have threatened more violence to derail the elections telling the 10000000 eligible voters to stay at home despite that 2 of the presidential candidates have made their picks to voters in a rare televised debate. those 2 contenders are the country's current chief executive. who's really entered the political mainstream. the lead candidate didn't show up for the debate the current president ashraf ghani

. the 2 addressed issues including election fraud and the taliban. afghan people risk their lives to go to vote this shows their determination that this should decide their future and the new circumstances will be allow for them and selections to once again decide best fate. but. the taliban have always committed terrorist attacks that results in the killing of innocent people but they are a reality in this country you are not your. heart your thought on troops are the reason for war in this country our country has been occupied. because nobody thinks about gives us a role in peace talks the americans and the taliban are negotiating the same groups that the americans designated terrorists. and they've been talking to them want to

protest in the car. soldiers and police are out in force and not just in the run up to the election but taliban and other islam is the insurgents are battling u.s. backed government forces thousands of civilians are killed each year. the taliban aim to disrupt this vote but some people remain defiant and without that we're going to vote in large numbers and we ask the government and security forces to keep us safe and to ensure the transparency of the election. issue threats every day. i believe most people will participate in the election to defend democracy. if security worries keep many from voting and turnout is low that could undermine the emerging democratic process. getting out of sport and there was actually at exchange friendship starting on friday but the build up has been dominated by allegations of

doping new technology means urine samples from a decade ago can now be retested and positive tests have meant unexpected medal upgrades for a number of athletes. a delayed tribute for christina oberkfell 11 years after the beijing olympics the former javelin thrower has been awarded a silver medal she received her new prize possession at a small ceremony made up mostly of friends and family. her pony and in 2008 russia's maria. was stripped of her silver medal off to retesting of old urine samples or bug fools bronze was given an upgrade that's not it may have it was a financial reward which would have been bigger back then cannot be recovered it now has symbolic value which is great. i'm so glad that this has happened after so many years and hopefully it's also

a small deterrent for athletes that are still cheating you know. as new methods are used to test old doping samples which are kept up to 10 years after competitions more athletes are belatedly receiving recognition for my hammer thrower betty hyla has swapped her 2012 olympics bronze medal for silver and put in a dean klein it has had results from international competitions upgraded more than 15 times for administrators the improved detection methods are an important tool in the fight against doping. when we hear this. if we want to improve sports particularly concerning equal opportunities justice and fair play in sporting competitions then there is no alternative to fine mesh control systems. previously the medal was just simply sent in the mail but the late ceremony for christina oberkfell at least goes some way to making up for her missing the real

thing. skateboarding will be making its debut as an olympic event until next summer sky brown is an 11 year old british skateboarding star hoping to make history she some track to become the youngest female to compete at the summer olympics in 50 is the sky is the limit for sky brown like most pre-teens brown is already an accomplished surfer a t.v. dancing champion and the youngest nike sponsored athlete in the world recently winning a bronze medal from the world skateboarding championships browne's gotten one step closer to her goal making great britain skateboarding team for tokyo 2020 born to a british father and a japanese mother the 11 year old splits her time between southern california and japan we weren't going to do. it was to us or pressure.
