1:10 am
being told. two icebreakers they're up against harsh weather conditions another supply ship with more than three hundred crew aboard is the last to be freed after being trapped for almost a fortnight several other vessels have been rescued over the last week. as latest details. two icebreakers are about haul flight three the journey towing this refrigerated vessel to the most they've got about another thirty kilometers to go then of cools to come back and to try and retrieve that supply vessel now we know that when they get their refrigerator vessel to the a pool so they've got other smaller icebreaker wasn't waiting to take a view that says i'll be able to focus on the return journey i will need to be to get the supply ship free. over three hundred crew aboard and that's one of the original three ships the food and the rescue on december thirtieth so the crew aboard that ship has now been stuck in the ice at thirteen days so obviously
1:11 am
everyone very eager to get them free of the situation we need the emergency services have now dispatched a helicopter that picked up a hydrologist off one of the ice breakers the marker of hill now at the moment the up with that helicopter looking at the ice they hate leaving able to analyze. to help these two ice breakers find the most effective route back to the supply ship and to getting it free what we've heard from officials is that it's very hard to pinpoint accurate estimate as to how long it will be until the rescue mission is completed is the thing that has been a very drawn up race as they come up against these adverse weather conditions the ice break is really hot it's incredibly low temperature that's about not minus nineteen at the moment a gale force winds in this incredibly because they've been having to deal with now it's taken since yesterday to get the refrigerator vessel tell us about the weights
1:12 am
the water in the thinner ice as they possibly another day maybe the end of today the actually get that free but then of course they've got to make that rich return journey to get to the supply vessel and that supply vessel is going to be the most difficult to retrieve it's an incredibly large ship and actually costing around. fifty thousand dollars a day every day but it's not what a lot of questions being all about what these vessels were doing in the area that. they called his name for being a very dangerous very narrow area very. always very big now we know that the weather conditions that this has made was that at the moment is the area. picking up the tab for this rescue operation. they say causing a huge amount of money and we know that once the operation is over looking for companies. to see whether they've taken it and sending them into this area.

1:14 am
to ignore sweep under the rug is that the the tenor in the vitriol. really has been going on in this country i think for the last couple of years. the far right has become unhinged we have the first african-american president in our history the white supremacists the racists there's been a tick across the board in extremism from the right and with our economic problems as well we are in a period in america right now throw in the guns as well we're in a period right now where it is very volatile and very dangerous it's not surprising at all that there would be violent action directed against political figures that this in this climate despite the efforts of more sane people try to call for a more civil discourse a more civil dialogue to try to tamp down the tone it's really not not happening i

1:16 am
a lone nuts as this guy has been called are people who are you know a mental distress and who have access to weapons but clearly more could be done to educate people about these issues that have been a lot of studies about how the coarseness on t.v. encourages you know the sort of bullying that takes place in our schools and the violence in our communities people tend to see and monkey see monkey do usually what happens is people take out the violence on themselves with suicides and suicide and killings in their own families from despair and because we are living in an economic recession slash depression people are pretty desperate and if there's a gun around they might use it. the u.s. army is training many gangs to secure afghanistan's most dangerous areas for a few dollars a month washington hopes to keep the fight his own side against the tide of art as jason found out he is not so easily bought. as the southern gateway to
