10:01 pm
the case of europe, children accusing the grownups of not doing enough to stop climate change. and a storm named alia, sweeping across greece, flooding rose, cutting power, and damaging homes. it's the 2nd major storm this month. the i'm bring, gone to our view is watching on cbs in the united states and to all the people around the world. welcome the us soldier, a private travis king who dashed into north korea from south korea back in july, is now on his way home. north korea expelled key after 2 months of detention for illegally intruding on his territory. he was transferred to the united states personnel a neighboring china and is expected back at a texas military facility sometime early on thursday. or here's what we heard from the us state department about how travis key was brought back into us custody. we
10:02 pm
appreciate the professionalism of our diplomats, who worked with their counterparts of the department of defense and coordinated with the governments of sweden and the people's republic of china. and we think sweden and the people's republic of china for their assistance and facilitating that transfer. he is now on his way to the united states and we expect him drive in the coming hours are correspond to the washington janelle demario and has more on the details shared by the us administration regarding travis king's release. well, we know that the release happened over night were told that travis king is in good health and in good spirits. we don't know exactly why north korea has decided to do it at this particular moment. but as we heard there in the sound bites, we heard the us government thanking the government of sweden and china for helping to secure a travis king's release. we don't know exactly who did what,
10:03 pm
but we know that sweden would have played a key role in negotiating, considering that sweden usually negotiates on behalf of the united states with north korea. because north korea and, but you west have no diplomatic relations. there is no us embassy, empty, own young. we also know that it was sweet and who told the u. s. that taught travis king was about to be deported and we're told that an intense period of diplomacy followed. and that brings us to today, where he's on his way to that military facility in texas. as you said, do we know what's expected to happen to him once he arrives back on the us territory of the well is that part really is unclear. now if we look back onto parts of his story, we know that he was stationed with his unit in south korea and then detained for 2 months over assault charges. he was been released on july time
10:04 pm
a week later he was meant to go back to the us to face disciplinary proceedings, but he managed to evade his guards. and instead of forwarding the plan to the us, he decided to join a tour of the dom militarized. soon between north and south korea and that's when he crossed over into north korea. now the military of course declared him absent without leave, which means that you could face further punishment, like all the forfeiture of his pay, like this honorable discharge. he could even face more time in military jail and whether he's going to be punished separately for this action for actually going into north korea is also unclear. but us officials have said that, that before any further decisions are taken on travis king. the priority is providing him with medical aid and psychological aid, and we're uniting him with his family. all else will follow later. and, you know, considering the, the, the changes between the us and the north korea. it's surprising, isn't it,
10:05 pm
that the north korea was willing to give up a us soldier to begin with and that the, this situation was resolved so quickly. indeed there was some amount of surprise there were many who were expecting travis king uh, to be held a bit longer. that he could have been used as a bargaining chip, especially as relations between you, between the us and north korea, deteriorate over north korea. accelerating nuclear program over the u. s. has expanded joint military exercises with south korea. but there's also this reading about, travis king, was not a high value asset. and at some point, perhaps the north koreans decided that he wasn't worth the trouble and expense of keeping. he needed food. accommodation guards and translators as a for the us as part. so they've been, they've taken pains to point out that they don't see his release as a breakthrough in us and north korea and relations at all. they see this as
10:06 pm
a one off occurrence, and they say no concessions were made. 2 or 3 are in securing travis king's release right now with the ladies there in washington. we appreciate your reporting. thank . when l to rack and a wedding that turned into a deadly inferno, at least a 100 people were killed in more than a 150 injured in a blaze that with this is a may, had been ignited by fireworks char debris. now blocks the hall where hundreds of guests had gathered for a wedding. the ceiling collapse onto the guests. turning celebration to carnage. more than a 100 people are dead. including the bride and the groom that i witnessed. it said the fire broke out as the wedding couples were on the dance floor. how did this happen?
10:07 pm
well, actually they were like, i mean, what can i say? they were about to do a slow dance with us, so they only the fireworks circumstances of the heat. the ceiling which caused fire launched on how long did it take to seconds? not the entire whole was in fire in seconds. survivors were rushed to hospitals to be treated for burns and smoke inhalation. as rescue workers sift through the rubble authorities are investigating the tragedy. jody, a, the investigation is ongoing. the reason for the fire was that fireworks was said off inside the whole fireworks. we used in the not unusual way fireworks and not to meet it outside the whole little on using them inside that laid to the building of the ceiling which fill on the people inside the whole can and then concerns
10:08 pm
mount as illegal highly flammable building. materials may have fuel the rapid spread of the fire in the wedding hall. meanwhile, family members have assembled once more, delayed their loved ones to rest. just a day after they had come together to rejoice at the wedding. so say i leave them all. there is a journalist in the ranking capital bank did. she joins me now. lean. it's good to have you with this. i mean the images they are, they are horrifying and it looks like that the, the wedding hall, the entire structure that was completely burned out. i mean, did the fire crews do they have any chance of even containing the blaze? i mean, they has very, very little chance of doing anything. this fire started and then you saw on the image is how fast it's spread. witnesses say it took seconds for the whole ceiling to catch fire,
10:09 pm
and when the rescue workers arrived to the venue they couldn't get in because there was a warm door that was closed and the emergency exit was supposed to be also smoke. so they had to break into the venue to try to rescue the people that were clean for their lives and trying to escape the same. and we understand a 150 people were reportedly injured any were on their condition tonight. we many are in severe conditions. they have sustained the injuries from the fire from the flames. people are also being given oxygen because they're having breathing difficulties because they were suffocating from all the the smoke that was in the venue. and then there are also people being treated for injuries to say, suffer trying to get out when there will be crowds and people who are crushed together. so there are many, many people now searching for their loved ones because ultimately many voters haven't been able to be identified given the damage that they suffered from the
10:10 pm
same to the investigation. but we, as we understand it, and centering around these fireworks that were allegedly set off inside the venue, which is shocking. i mean, what have you heard in just people's reaction to that. i mean, there's a lot of anger all over iraq that this kind of and this can happen all over again because this is not the 1st time we see that you 6 lives in the rock. we have seen the cells we have seen in the north and just a couple of years ago, there was a deadly fire in the hospital in the south of the act. so people are demanding that new measures would be put in place that there would be security checks, all of these kinds of the news from tomorrow or just have said that they will carry out safety information on any building that is crowded into the schools and
10:11 pm
hospitals and and more general is lena milers with the latest tonight from baghdad, just the age tragic, tragic story there. thank you. well, here's a round up now and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world either by john have the rest of the former head of government. they're going to cover about the region as he was trying to enter armenia, reuben or don. yet is a billionaire who made most of his fortune in russia. he was taken to the capital advisor by john bach, who is arrest comes as almost a quarter of newborn and power bucks ethnic armenian population. fleas the region. the united states as admitting is real into a select group of countries whose citizens can enter the country without obtaining a visa in advance. starting november 30th is released, we'll be able to travel to the us for up to 90 days, simply by registering with the electronic system for travel authorization. german
10:12 pm
police have rated dozens of homes, a link to an extreme. mr. races group that promote did not see audiology. germany's interior minister blamed or banned rather the group known as the art good mind shop or the race community. it was one of several of right wing groups banned in recent months to hey, russian saw use of space craft has landed in cosmic style. and after returning from the international space station on board were to russian cosmonaut and a us astronaut. frank rubio. rubio said a new us record by spending more than a year in space. that was after a technical effect delayed his return. and we're back here on earth. 6 young people from portugal are taking the entire european union to court. now, there between the ages of $11.24, and they're accusing you countries of doing too little to stop global warming in action that they argue is a violation of their human rights. 6 young people and their lawyers against the 2
10:13 pm
countries. they say simply on doing enough to stop global warming, these activists have come describe bulk to all use of the climate policies of oil, the e u. member states, as well as britain, switzerland, norway tacky, and russia. a so inadequate the violating that human rights. today's case is about the young. this is about the price that they are paying for the failure of states to tackle the claimant's emergency. it says about the home that they will suffer during their life times unless these step up to their responsibilities. a group range and aid from $11.00 to $24.00 were moved to bring that case by the huge wildfires. and then they took portugal back in 2017. more than a 100 people died with scientists and climate change have made the flies was. now
10:14 pm
the activists are hoping the european quote of human rights can false governments to drastic may accelerate the efforts to combat global warming. you, when has warned current targets put the world on costs, but catastrophic climate breakdown. sped what i expect from government all the time while i'm at the shop 1st on the thing that is real is a, this is a main problem because it's so infringing on our human right? it's mostly like 2 months. i declare a full that can happen. they'll need to persuade the quotes the judges of the case with lawyers for the defending governments. arguing the 6 young activists have improved a direct link between the homes. they say they've suffered and that climate policies a global its impacts. could this case, have i put the question to marco's, already on the, you, in special reference your on toxics in human rights. so thank you for having me. well, the, the case going to have a significant impact because it can allow the european court of human rights toward
10:15 pm
typically what are the 1st principles on the human rights responsibilities of states in regard to climate change. the court could also order states to do more, to confront the global crime of prices. there are minors that here as plaintiffs, and that struck me was always looking at this. shouldn't their parents actually be the ones that play that's taking the you to court or does it make a difference? it, it makes no difference to the, the, the court in the human rights regime is open to victims of being able to seize the mechanisms of protection in order to vindicate protection for their right. the arguments posed by the miners in the climate change will have a significant impacts on their lives. i see aggravates during their lifetimes, is,
10:16 pm
is a, is a strong one. it is, it is well established by scientific evidence, but over the coming years there will be increasing droughts. sheet waves and children are in the fence line. so for bearing the brunt of, of those impact. is there any precedent into this case where you have young people taking countries, taking grown ups to court for failing to take action to protect the next generation . as there are cases where miners have utilized human rights arguments and, and commissions in order to see protection against the threats of climate change up. what i would also surface of the case bills on decades of interaction between human rights and the environment. it is well established that environmental degradation can infringe on
10:17 pm
a number of internationally protected human rights. and it is similarly well established that states have an obligation to address before cbl risks posed by environmental degradation. what's unprecedented here is the application of these principles to climate change, and would it be a success for these young plaintive, if the court were to say, it is a human right to expect countries and adults to take the action to protect future generations? well, that is certainly a possibility we, we have seen the national courts in european countries like the netherlands and in germany, ordering governments telling governments that they're not doing enough that they should defend their emission reductions. and that is because addressing the global climate crisis will require deep and rapid reduction in the emissions of greenhouse
