that killed 1000 protesters rally and hard tents dare not accusing authorities of neglect, mismanaged the i'm looking for at least of those of you joining us on p b. s. and the united states and all of our viewers around the world. welcome to great to help you with us along a way to present or a swap between iran and the united states is underway. 5 dual american arabian citizens have been freed, arrived in dough after leaving tara, and are now on routes to the us. they are being exchanged for 5 arabians held in the us. 2 of them have reportedly landed in tara, according to rain in state tv. run is getting access to $6000000000.00 an oil rev

new that was frozen by south korea. around foreign ministry confirmed the money would be transferred to a bank account in could tar, or the agreement allows it to be used only for humanitarian purpose. the us secretary of state and to me, blink. and had this to say about the prisoner's change, irrespective of what was happening or not happening, for example, and pursuing the effort to return to the nuclear agreement. we've been focused on working independently to bring these americans home, so it doesn't speak to anything else. and the relationship we continue to be determined to take the whatever step is necessary to deal with actions by iran in a whole host of areas. but i've been telling blue is a senior fellow at the foundation for the defense of democracies. i asked him about the significance of today's events and how long they were and the make pleasure to be with you in many would say was as long as some of the hospitals themselves have been around. one of the hostages, hear back from ozzy,

was i believe hostage for 8 years. so it's exceptionally significant. it's always good news when you have a hostages in the americans in any unjustly, unless they get paid for that as a renewal nationals return home to their loved ones. but it's going to have significant rubber cushions for the larger ford and security problems that continue to persist with the public. let's not forget, it was an active international hostage taking that divorce the wrong america. 1979 submitted the prize status of the public. and in the past 4 decades, you've seen the runs proxies and partners also emulate these monica public. and in a world where and now runs great power patrons, russia and china are engaging in a detention or a potential hostage taking of western citizens. this issue is likely to escalate. so we're on a slippery slope here, one might say indeed. so let's look at how this agreement was reached and one of the mediators in particular,

what do you make of guitar as role and all of this? well, you know, it's always interesting. there is always been an auditioning phase for who can play mediator between toronto and washington. and while there was a diplomatic track set up in oman and online in the past was instrumental and both nuclear diplomacy as well as hospital diplomacy. in this case, the risk guitar was accepting by coming in here was becoming the banking hub for tat ronda for the 6000000000 that was moved from south korea, converted in switzerland and then brought into banks and guitar. so it could be cut tar, trying to, you know, gain a little bit more prominence of the diplomatic spotlight. but there are going to be outside is concerned there as well, because that has been a somewhat more permissive jurisdiction for tara finance in the region. and now looking at the broader relationship between the us and iran, could all of the single, a change of mood between the 2 countries now, especially regarding talks to revive the nuclear deal. you know, there was

a lot of people who are seeing this is somewhat connected. i'm inclined to see it is connected in this sense. i think the theory of the case by the, by the, in this ration has to have hoss the diplomacy. they get nuclear diplomacy. it's really a proof of concept that america can deliver the sanctions relief of someone who would be against freeing up 6000000 for the world's foremost state sponsored terrorism to continue to use. i think that would be a bad proof of concept. nonetheless, i think i want you to keep their eyes on any potential meetings between you ron's present of re see who is in new york this week as well as with any other heads of state. it's reported that he made me japan's foreign minister, the running something eager to get the frozen funds out of japan as well. there continue to be other detained american nationals, as defined by us law, still held hostage to run, as well as a plethora for nationals. so we may see more of this in the future has been, i'm going to level thank you so much for your time. thank you. as the head of the united nations has warned that the international community is falling behind and

its commitment to come back, hunger and poverty. speaking of the un general assembly, antonia gutierrez said nations were at risk of failing to meet the so called sustainable development goals. there and emissions set of agreements, the end of eliminating poverty and improving global health by 2030 gutierrez warrants that countries were on track to meet just 15 percent of those always smoked. they were not much, no declaration to accelerate. the sustainable development goals has been adopted. but will this be a real push? that's what i asked, the ws chief political editor, mikaela christmas. she's in new york as well. this hold on to it just has to, because today it doesn't seem to be any alternative. this re commitments to old goals that were to find in 2015 for the 1st time is something that many see is long overdue progress to get this all into place. by 2030 to alleviate hung up to

provide a safe energy and supplies to everybody. and to also provide basic education at these goals of already been sold by the pen demik also by the ukraine who, but also by much more structural problems, which is the debt sides. and many developing countries simply don't seem to be able to shake off or at least struck to, to make them more viable and more resilient, which seems to be the bus was and has been for a couple of years and type thing. what is very much threatening them and that is climate change that leads to get more hunger, a particular lights of potential grain supply problems. and they think from ukraine . so it's a complex issue. there's a re commitments, but the acceleration would have to stop. now. the un general assembly is always of a big meeting of world leaders. what is germany lobbying for during this week in new york? well, it's

a response. assaults came here actually with his own a fresh badges to etc rates. the c g goals that include some $300000000.00 in money for the world bank, which can then provide that and leverage that as loans for sustainability. and the jim tassel also spoke before that very summit. and let's just take a listen to actually the very concrete structural issues that he addressed. in total, germany provided 5000000 euro to address the most tragic global repercussions of russia's war against through green sunder, or that national development budgets alone won't be sufficient. that is why we are working to reform the international finance architecture, especially towards back our goal is to improve its ability to provide poverty and to find this global public goods of the. and that's

where clearly the form of finance minister of germany is speaking, who has a very acute understanding of international finance of structures on like pretty much every nation, of course, the stress of what germany was doing. when also has mentioned that development, 8 over in this upcoming budget has been reduced by some 10 percent. and it seems to be a re deployment of result associated but clearly a drive to change the global financial dynamics to help countries out of poverty. so today, tomorrow, the sustainable development summit, what else can we expect from this week of world leaders meeting in new york? well, there's going to be many biological meetings. so to me is a lensky will become the a superstar of this annual meeting. he is expected to your in class and he's also due to hold by last for meetings also with german tons of sophie,

always hassan when he's come across him and he's due to speak as well in the general assembly as well as in the security council and that will certainly russel some russian feathers with the expecting that. and so watch out for that appearance and also what tone he will strike because ukraine too, is becoming increasingly aware that there is another buckle going on. and that's of the hearts and minds of the global cells who is feeling the negative effects of this rule and simply wants it to end. so there is quite a comp that is a lot more favorable to start tools and not earlier, rather than later, despite the fact that even putting to the doesn't want any kind of piece tools. and neither does he create at this moment in time. and you'll be there covering it all for us though, is the w 2 political editor, mikaela cruz, now new york, thank or poverty and hunger are big contributors to child mortality in combining both or among the you ones top priorities at the

general assembly this year india has seen a drop in rates of infant and shop mortality in the past few years. apart from the national government, grassroot workers have an instrumental in improving child health the available use . when you're a child, you met one such health worker and deli, 45 year old community health look like traditional books is visiting a new mother in her neighborhood today. the mother's so rich have just given birth to her 2nd daughter. for 6 months make sure that you just especially the baby know of the food a 100 are gonna disable these visits. of course, of course the risk of pushing a head cold with differential medical guidance, nutritional needs. $402.00 boys, and they never got every month when i was pregnant. she would visit regularly, tell me when to go see the doctor. she would also provide basic medicines and advise me on the right diet. but she also make sure that my kids get their vaccinations on time push not as one of the thousands of possible goods or after

that for she has active is in the country employed by the government of k to to be health gave needs of their communities women like color have played a key role over the box can with us and bringing down the child mortality. read in the country, the government data to dis, deflect the neonatal incense, and under 5 would that if these things have seen a significant dr. sunday boil a public health specialist also thinks that'd be also woke up program. please unimportant, truly. we have seen a 30 percent dropping infant mortality from 2015 to 2023. the government is india has many schemes which has focused on improving the child and america letterhead, and which has led to cause has been a decline in the child, as well as america mortality in india. educating people about the various governments schemes is one of the many responsibilities of fish not involving

another. i shall go from the same area together. both of them have ensured that every child in the neighborhood is healthy. like 3 edward my the here was born under read would, would push thousands, movies, health, weekly republic. i say, well i gotcha where there's like aust ridge places where the doctor's com. we work in the area where we let people know us. early up, people would not take correct medical advice, and after that we have educated them on the right steps to follow, to raise a child and get them important much nations on time for the fish, not as committed to her book and knows that what she does is crucial, as she believes, only strong and healthy children would be able to build a better future for themselves and the country. so let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world today. heavy rains of flooded parts of central and western india,

the water level and the near motto river has risen as emerging. the low line areas in the western state of control got thousands of people have been evacuated from the region. well, gary says it has diffused an explosive drone found on its territory. it washed ashore and the black sea resort town of toulon off which is across the sea from crimea. this is the 1st discovery of a drowned mounted explosive in the needle member states german defense minister boris. to story it says berlin has to provide a new 400000000 euro military, a package to ukraine. it does not include torres, miss though he has been pushing berlin to supply with them himself. would have a range of up to 500 kilometers berlin various you cream, could use them to attack targets in russia. china has summit into germany, some bassett, or in beijing, after foreign minister and the bad luck called presidency aging thing. a dictator. bad luck made the remarks in

a live interview with fox news in the us last week when asked about russia's war on ukraine. she said, if put and where to win this for what sign would that be for other dictators in the world like she like the chinese president? so therefore, ukraine has to win this war. china is born ministry condemned to babylon, comments from the to a family of china. the pros and family rejects the remark by the german side, which is preposterous. it's a series of from to chinese political dignity and a blatant political provocation which made strong complaints to germany for diplomatic channels. i'm sure it'll be a quick political port correspondent simon young, told me how berlin has been reacting to china as protest. what i learned a bad bulk is now in new york. so the united nations general assembly meeting and she was aust, whether she was aware of the chinese criticisms of her comments and how she might react. but she simply said, yes,

that she was aware of those criticisms. the similar question was put to john. so they felt as spokesman here in berlin at the end, he said he didn't want to comment on whether these remarks would in any way affect the relationship between the 2 countries. so i think this has now gone beyond words . in fact, because as you mentioned, a tweet to your floor, the gym and a basset to engaging with someone didn't had to listen to those chinese criticisms in detail on sunday. and it's not the official position of the german government to call the chinese president a dictator. is it no indeed uh, germany wants to have good relations with china, which is after all its largest trading partner. and just earlier this year the german government brought out what it called. it's new china strategy, which i think lays the emphasis on finding ways to sort of both the bilateral

relationship and 8 to talks about that trade and the importance of the relationship. it had some remarks about them wanting to promote gym and values like human rights and democracy, but it also coals china a partner competitor and systemic rival. so it's not quite the same kind of wood. and that strategy paper, i think you could say was more diplomatic. the foreign minister has been in the last few days. so with all that in mind, how big a diplomatic crisis is this as well, i wouldn't use the word crisis. i think the chinese have some of the gym and, and past so that i registered that protest. and frankly, i would expect they'd probably leave it at that is what pointing out that. so the us president joe biden did something very similar earlier this year in june. on

a campaign event, he described a president seed him paying as a dictate to the criticisms and protests from the chinese side. very similar wording, in fact to what we've heard it today. and well, you know, the relationship between the us and china hasn't been completely blown out that continues to develop and both sides continue to make that point. so i expect that's what probably will happen here as well. so i mean you many thanks or a week after sled skilled thousands of people in the libyan city of there now hundreds are now rallying against local authorities. protesters accused officials in libya as eastern base government of failing to maintain the 2 dams at collapse and the storm prompting that disaster were calling for accountability. catastrophe is also left tens of thousands homeless and in need of clean water and basic supplies. dangerous conditions are hampering recovery efforts,

leaving some local people searching for their loved ones on their own, you know, to near to calling out for her nephew as she routes through the rubble. sabrin lost her brother and his family when their buildings to come to the fierce flood waters . could we apply with who? sure were you and they used to come out here. then they would visit me recently and i would visit them. now there's nothing left to me how the floods took everything, their toys with their books, their father, to their mother, called her relatives, or some of the thousands of people still unaccounted for in the city. if there are no, after for rufus storm, caused them to break flooding the city, demolishing buildings, and sweeping entire neighborhoods out to sea. june footage shows the devastating aftermath efforts to remove the rumble and find bodies are being hampered by dangerous conditions on the ground. many are still waiting for their loved ones,

remains so they can lead them to rest your brother machine. if only we could lift this home. and then if i could remove it with my own hands on the hook, the if we could at least recover one body on the head, just one. so we can say we held a proper burial. meanwhile, the threat of another crisis looms local teams are out in force to sanitize streets and hospitals to prevent contagion. we concerned about 2 things, the spread of infection by insects that can cost malaria, as well as colorado of the diseases. if we do not deal with it from the start. so far the situation is stable and under control thing for now, but the end is warning at disease outbreak and the flooded east could spark a 2nd devastating crisis for the population. know right. l derby is

a journalist in human rights activists based and assemble members of her family survived the flats in libya and i asked whether aid is getting through to them a yes, the age are coming through and most of the medical aid that's covered most of the food a cover, they only have some problems with the, uh, the, the, the, the normal usage rotate, the one that they use for cleaning and squared washing themselves and stuff like that. but um, this is not a big problem because that emotions long time has a very weak net go to network. so usually the citizen often use to buying water and so we can get in tax and then using it. so i think this is the only concern. now i'm in the government assigned to work very hard uh,

on the age age hmos. and that sort of society outside to work that a hot key, the key more to the places where people are staying now. there's churches and say it's clean water is very important precisely because the un is issued a warning about the risk of disease outbreaks. what are you hearing about that? it's actually they are of the national, the nation and disease control center is i'm not saying that everything is under control. that's our source. and they are saying that everything is okay in boxes. it's only the smell of the, the composition of the bodies and they're trying their best to collect as many as, as they can just to avoid anything that might happen. but in general, those uh, the official resources are saying that there is nothing going to be happening.

uh, if they isolate the affected area and if they continue collecting the body and especially the bodies are dying from a natural disaster, not from a disease or something that, that, that's when it's very dangerous. if, if something happens as journalist in human rights activists, nora, l. jeremy, it's now take a look at some more world news. almost 200 microns have arrived on line produce, uh, adding to the thousands that reached the island last week comes as italy's right. when government adopts tougher migration measures, extending the timeline grants can be detained and ensuring more people who have no legal right to stay or repeat, treat it germany has launched it's autumn vaccination campaign targeting higher risk groups. 60 year old health minister coll lauterbach has received an updated cobit 19 booster shots. germany's public health agency recommends annual jobs only
