9:02 am
spot on and there's a little one of the rescuers had a child crying so we stopped all of the machinery to listen in we were saying to keep quiet and the baby was reacting and kept silent we started asking where are you the baby started responding to you we started working there but there was risk of further collapse we were afraid as the baby was asking for help. a really dramatic development correspondent my basic goals for is high that an incredible
9:03 am
development just as hope for fighting take us through it. all in this is nothing short of a new year miracle really at least that's what we're hearing around here right now i'm right outside the hospital where the medics are fighting for the life of the eleventh month eleven month old vanya yes imagine spending more than thirty hours under the rubble in his crib when it's minus twenty celsius outside really the rescuers are telling us that it is just because the baby was wrapped in very warm blankets this is essentially what saved defined as life and also i talked to the parents of binayak who told me their story. steve of new film it's just like. the bullshit discussion for each other in iraq is just one. no really is the source of much of. this is
9:04 am
a marker. but perhaps the most incredible thing about this whole rescue this myth this miracle is that it was called the making of dad's hands because he was at work when the disaster when the tragedy unraveled he came back to where he used to live and he really wanted to show because he had an idea as to where the baby might be and he wanted to show rescuers that sport but because of the whole place was cordoned off and because of the very grave risk of the demolition of the building he wasn't allowed to vote for a very long time eventually he told me he had to sneak into to tell the world rescuers that that approximate area where his son could be and he got a number of one of the rescuers and would you know that very rescue a did manage to extract his son from under the rubble give
9:05 am
a call to the dad and tell them about this miracle right now this is one of the families and their stories one of the stories that struck this industrial city in russia's urals we talked to other survivors who two other residents of this building who were affected by the tragedy have a lesson. she doubt will notice it is a day before iraq had called out all over the next day he says and if part of the block had fallen down i was sleeping when i heard only boom we were at home but we're supposed to have gone there to my mom was supposed to be at home that day but it's a last moments ago today all. my daughter called me at seven fifteen in the morning and told me that our entrance had been destroyed. when i went down i saw it was in ruins my wife was rescued by firefighters with a ladder. well as of now
9:06 am
the total of eight bodies have been at it well as of now the total of eight bodies have been recovered from under the rubble and rescuers have had to really hold to their operations because they're saying that the building might collapse and this is why we journalists and everybody were moved away to safer distance and this miraculous rescue of an eleven eleven month old babies really just a miracle. and two very relieved parents that are counting their blessings this new year's day ok dawn of magnitogorsk thanks for that. of the rescue operations had been temporarily halted earlier in the day over fears that additional sections of the building might collapse but they then later resumed around thirty six people are still reportedly missing here's what witnesses have said about the disaster.
9:07 am
on top of the headline stories now a british police confirmed a couple of hours ago that they're treating a stabbing attack at a major rail hub in manchester in northern england as a terrorist incident three people were injured including a police officer on new year's eve. we are treating this as a terrorist investigation which is being led by counter-terrorism officers with support from greater manchester police the suspect was heard shouting allahu akbar
9:08 am
while police arrested him officers used a taser and pepper spray to subdue the man who's now in custody the three wounded people suffered serious but not life threatening injuries the police officer who was stabbed in the shoulder has now been released from hospital. donald trump used his new year's speech to list what he views as the achievements of his administration he took the opportunity to praise the deals that he struck but neglected to mention most of the agreements that he broke. there is never been an administration and i'm very proud of this that's done more than the trumpet ministration in the first two years of office we made a deal with mexico we made a deal with canada we made that deal with south korea and then you look at north korea we're doing really well we moved our embassy to jerusalem in israel. or one of the broken accords that wasn't mentioned was the decision by the united states and israel to leave the un's culture and heritage organization after years
9:09 am
of bitter wrangling washington announced its intention to leave us go in october accusing the agency of anti israel bias well now that moves come into force. on the twelfth of october two thousand and seventeen the department of state notified us co-directed general it mean a bulk of the us decision to withdraw from their goodness nation and to seek to establish a permanent observer mission to unesco this decision was not taken lightly and reflects his concerns with the mountaineer be in the need for fundamental reform and they're going to zation and containing anti israel liason. now at this point that we can review that in twenty seventeen there was outcry from the united states and israel when unesco designated a hebron the city in the west bank designated as a world historical site now there is a contested area in the center of that city to muslims it's the ibrahimi mosque to jews it's the cave of patriarchs and at that point we saw some loud outcry from the
9:10 am
united states and from israel now it's important to note that this isn't the first time that we've heard accusations of a pro palestinian bias from the usa and from israel and twenty eleven when the nasco body officially recognized a state of palestine at that point the usa and israel both stopped paying dues to unesco they were then stripped of their voting rights in two thousand and thirteen after having not paid their dues so at this point we see the united states carrying out a policy that its long carried out which is when it doesn't like certain international accords and agreements or international bodies it simply withdraw let's review the united states we withdraw from the optional protocol in dispute resolution to the vienna convention on diplomatic relations the united states is officially withdrawing from the un human rights council we will not cooperate with the i.c.c. we will provide no assistance to the i.c.c. baseless politicize claims are brought against us hypocritical bodies and
9:11 am
institution unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court the council ceases to be . are they have its name we will commence a review of all international agreements that may still expose the united states to purport it binding jurisdiction dispute resolution in the international court of justice so the united states continues to withdraw from international bodies and international agreements in response to decisions it does not approve of kind of hoping that u.s. ambassador peter galbraith believes americans withdrawal from international agreements and organizations would eventually be reversed. so this this is entirely political step you know everyone has to be pointed out that we already have that is that so many of these institutions the united nations the international court of justice were ones that were the human rights were created by the united states the
9:12 am
united states to lead. and now we withdraw but also this constant from a very sized ministration or very extreme one one i have to point out that lost the election by three million votes and based on the midterm results is not likely to be around it after twenty twenty five and so very likely these decisions will then be reversed so my advice to the rest of the world is take a deep breath and america will be back. in france president mccrone used his new year's eve speech to have extremist elements in the country. meanings of all see we have perience great division and anger broke out to anger against injustices against the course of a sometimes in comprehensible globalization against an administrative system that's become too complex and lacking in empathy there was also anger against profound changes that call into question our society's identity and direction this anger has
9:13 am
shown me one thing no matter how excessive or overflowing it is we will not quit the. message didn't go down well with opposition leaders who called him an imposter and accused him of being out of touch with the french people with or it is in paris where prime to tackle more unrest on new year's eve with twelve thousand police officers on standby in the end very few protesters turned out and those who did were blocked from joining the celebrations in central paris french publisher and author of malvo predicts the demonstrations will soon resume. with all the blunders the government and the especially the m.p.'s are making i don't see any soothing of this to ation this movement it will of course continue into two thousand and nineteen the movement is so popular between seventeen and eighty percent of the french support them all approve of the movements that it is not excluded that especially in the provinces john d'armes or even policemen who have more in common
9:14 am
with the protestors and with the officials in paris could be caught become a sympathetic with their cause and refused to execute orders eminent mccraw embodies what the yellow vests rejects globalization and pro-business policies in a way he cannot really given without stopping did what he is he's lacking leeway he he sorts through to diffuse the crisis in the midst of december by announcing a ten billion euro package of measures which was which which was not so really convincing france was hit by anti-government protests for much of twenty eighteen starting from demonstrations against labor reforms the latest yellow vest protests over fuel taxes a paris correspondent charlotte do better recaps event. hake this infamous praise often attributed to mary on twitter has been used to demonstrate me a living it's nice the selfishness of france's elites which in turn led to the french revolution now the attribution may be misguided but the lesson isn't if you
9:15 am
can wall the crisis of the social classes or you mock them you do so at your own peril. the current french president should have seen it long ago as unrest has been bubbling throughout two thousand and eighteen. things started to turn nasty as the french government attempted to a victim and she put unity that they need to cool kate. it's a pretty testy case expose should be distributed among. the topics will be eco are just joking meanwhile the cold war dismissing
9:16 am
these should be built this period he must be evacuated will be evacuated because the man with the money is the republican leader must be respectful. mayhem first reached paris in spring obama calls reform plans or may first violence quickly spilled over and dozens were arrested. but the penny bill did drop for my colleagues spend the summer offering advice to all who will listen in raging. the country in the process is supposed to be giving these lutheran people who've lived through transformations in recent years i'm not exactly who are resistant to change. i know it's diplomatic he
9:17 am
doesn't know how to talk to people he cannot say about look all of people all of the nations it's just bad luck on both sides to the foreigners and to the people like french people comes down to. come find you a job by crossing the road. yeah you don't say that people people are really struggling to pieces of society when you don't have a problem how can even our job it think that everybody can do it just by working or crossing the street bed it's not real life it's just a very rich get out service just sort of it's not great to say things like that to french people and people aren't precarious situations i think it's quite ridiculous for a president to be so far from their realities and so by the time he told pensioners to stop claiming the french. had come get full of him because i think if you do things on the general shoulder pull you told me you can speak freely the only thing we do is have the right is to put the country would be different if everyone did
9:18 am
the same. staying stuck trying to people in france you don't see people stop complaining specially in france the people that complain all the time we love that it's causing. arrogance i think a little aggressive you know. there's no other word for me in the good old french spirit of things anger and resentment towards them and often described as the president of the rich really poor without i mean by seventeen they had had enough. if we see crazy on the streets of paris. she's. finally conceded. only the many close to the cold to late from the yellow best small still don't call me
