1:03 pm

1:07 pm
. that's obviously not the, the main concern at the moment, but down the line that will be running into the hundreds and hundreds of millions of euro. if not more than not, i think it almost certainly it will be more than that. but if the human cost at the moment that we're still struggling to try and get a real fix on just how high that may be, be keeping an eye on all the updates that come out of this particular part of western journey throughout the day. any new information, i'll bring it to you. peach oliver reporting, but we're also scenes of devastation in belgium. overnight is rivers. bang se 22 fatalities have already been reported with thousands evacuated from their homes, neighboring france to st. 40 rescue workers and a helicopter to help in the recovery effort. an extreme weather is also using the netherlands authorities have told thousands to evacuate their homes at risk of flooding. revisit gone above the level seen in the last major floods in the ninety's. part of a key made way to has been closed. the power cuts also being reported

1:14 pm
one of them went out at the police headquarters way. they are unloading some of the stolen goods that they've managed to recover. how many places were you able to go to tonight and how much stuff were you able to recover? because they have a cover lot of stuff and then we go 7 places. and then i think 2 more will go for the one who's giving you the information as to who the and where these related stuff is. they're committed to giving us the information on this computer of alex because now they're speaking about want to see opinion and they see this is wrong. i'm here with the main police station in alexandra. the suspect has been full care and is being held in one of the so a short time ago, there was no electricity in this area and the police are working with the light from a cell phone. it gives you
1:15 pm
a kind of idea of the circumstances and the challenges that face the police in south africa as they try to deal with the current state and violence policy a r t. alexandra will officially have urged the public not to take the lower into their own hands, even if their own businesses are under attack. well, the locals are still arming themselves and building road blocks to keep new designs and shopping centers being rooted and then don't write down that moment you purchase this complex one for the favorite. and this is the only place that now we're getting food from the we just stood out there to protect our families over the last company. they hectic. it's cause a lot of fear in the community. in general, obviously, everyone is actually scared to leave the homes. and look in this area as well, which is not safe at home. the families of passengers on
1:16 pm
a plane disappeared from radars inside barrier have breathed a huge sigh of relief. that after all 18 on board survived the crash landing. he goes down off, gave more details to don quarter. well, basically the plane in question is an, an 28. it's ukranian manufactured jet quite hold, but still fit for service. it is a small to so it's no match to be boeing to add buses that travel as are used to flying on. so it to cost in siberia and 20 minutes 29 minutes into the flight. the air traffic control as they received and signal from its emergency beacon, this is essentially the same thing as sending and as so s please out them. so rescue as border the helicopter and began the search in the area where they were expecting to find the plane. so they supported it as it was lying their belly up, all rec, completely a complete mess as you can see yourself. but standing outside they could also see
1:17 pm
the passengers, apparently for 18 people in board survived. the only person to get an injury was the pilot reported me. it's a fractured bone, a broken leg, maybe. but the doctors are saying they're examining him. and just to make sure what exactly is wrong with the pilot. well, it's not every day we hear about airplanes crash landing, but this isn't the 1st time something like that's happened and rushes, no, not at all, and also with a positive outcome as well. a couple of years ago in 2019 a very similar story happened to a big air bus 3 to one with more than 200 people on board, just outside moscow as the plane to cough. and as it was ascending, climbing up, it hit a colony of sea ghost. so several birds got sucked into the plains engines, so one gave out immediately, another one was barely working. so the plane began to lose out to you. so the crew, the captain, made the decision to make an emergency landing in
1:18 pm
a corn field. they did successfully. everybody survived all more than $200.00 people survived, no major injuries and he's how a flight attendant was giving directions to the passengers as they were evacuating from the area on the other student that each student that's going to leave it. well, that's not good. but if you're looking at the prospect, so the captain, a little of the playing them you soup of, he was later given awarded with a golden star over a hero of the russian federation. so even though this plane as much small and hopefully the pilots in the crew that saved 18 lives, hopefully their feet will be awarded somehow as well. same vaccine, different place of manufacture. that's the critical and bizarre problem for tours,
1:19 pm
heading to france at the moment, is because the country is only lessing in those that have been vaccinated with the astrazeneca job that was made in the european union. and not those who had the identical job that was made in india, a policy that has left would be travelers confused. i think the rest, your sense of being clearly defined vaccine is absolutely identical despite the fact it was manufactured in india. the confusion is that we'll choose to travel, evidently, travel a lot with my work, and the problem is, despite the certificate on the telephone application suggests the vaccine itself a certain type. obviously the numbers suggest differently when he cannot find any clear information on whether or not we can travel. if i sign up a port or an add port. so this day i do not know whether i'll be allowed to leave the u. k. or when i get my destination get checked, will i be allowed to continue my job? i'll he regulated have explained that the indian made version called cover shield
1:20 pm
is not on its leash because astrazeneca hasn't given enough data on the manufacturing process there. however, even those who have had any reprieve, short do face difficulties once in france, and that's because they still need to so called health path to go to public places . now these include restaurants and shopping tensile, as well as long distance buses and trains to get the pass. you need to be in late to do have a negative p c r t s or can prove you have recovered, recovered from cozy recently. however, the system is about street protests and the hill again says it adds extra complications that could make it fit to france, just too costly. the sums seems to be some confusion around what the cell phone and also the certificate size in terms of the actual name that explain cold in the case versus the batch number. don't match the name and the bus number doesn't match what people are saying. so they saying cover shields accepted bucks of error is this
1:21 pm
batch numbers match co shield, and that's what it said on the certificate. this confusion and complication bear. i don't think the other thing is as well, you know, that could be some significant costs, not so much. the disappointment with my family. i'm not going thompson. many non refundable tickets, et cetera, et cetera. for the sake of a breakdown in communication, it frankly ludicrous. the f b, i failed to protect dozens of child with gymnast by not responding earlier to allegations of abuse perpetrated by their teams. doctor, that's the charge of the u. s. department of justice, which says the bureau to more than a year just to launch a probe the f. b i has since acknowledged his handling as inexcusable. the medic was eventually sentenced to hundreds of years in prison for molesting children for tranquil as the story. it's an immensely ugly story and a story that's already quite old. on the one hand,
1:22 pm
he stands accused is one of the most prolific child molesters in sporting history. some women of team usa gymnastics, say they were forced to endure psychological and physical abuse in the name of olympic glory from young women lining up to face their former doctor in this high profile case that is rocking the world in gymnastics, a judge in michigan had slapped a very long sentence on the former sports doctor. the fact that larry nasser will never walk out of prison alive, thanks to the length of his sentence, may reassure more than 200 of his victims. that justice has been served. indeed, that how many girls and women, if the more he molested during his doctor's career under the guise of giving medical treatment, but the older the story gets the more ugly details about others involved in this disgraceful scandal emerge. the man who once was larry nasser, his boss, is now facing criminal sexual charges himself. former michigan state gymnastics
1:23 pm
coach, cathy clay just learned. she's headed to jail for line to police and the ness. our investigation, who knew that in july 2021, i'll be reporting on another bombshell. a u. s. department of justice probe has found for more than the year after receiving the 1st complaint. the f. b. i pretty much did nothing to deal with the sex abuse claims against dr. nasser just by the extraordinarily serious nature of the allegations and the possibility that nasa conduct could be continuing senior officials in the indianapolis field of his fail to respond to the national allegations with the seriousness and urgency that they deserved and required the action and inactions of the f b i employees described in the report, are inexcusable and discredit to this organization. what's most shocking is the price paid by the victims during the overlooked 14 months. the sex offender retired
1:24 pm
as physician of the u. s. gymnastic steam, but continued in the same role at the michigan state university, a high school and a dramatic club delays and legal action against master lead to the abuse of 70 young female says the d o. j. according to lawyers, that number could be as high as 120. this is a devastating indictment of the f. b. i am the department of justice. the multiple federal agents covered up in the san abuse and child molestation. no one seems to give a damn about these little girls. here's another disturbing reminder of what these victims could have been going through. when i was 13, just the kid laying on a table, i'm su. and you for your own glove hand, all over my rear. i looked into the most private area of my body. i did not know that at the same time, larry was penetrating me. usa gee,
1:25 pm
was systematically burying reports of sexual assault against member coaches in a file cabinet instead of reporting them. why did you make me hate the one thing i loved so much? why did you take my dreams away from me? you lied to me and manipulated me to think that when you treated me, you were closing your eyes because you had been working hard when you are really touching me an innocent child to pledge yourself and who knows how long the of be i would have kept turning a blind eye on this disgrace if it wasn't for a detailed investigative report by the local outlet, the indianapolis star, plus that coincided with local police finally responding to dozens of complaints from gymnast. but again, real action was more than a year late. moreover, the d o j found that later the special agent in charge of the f b i. indianapolis, field office, w. j abbott wide city inspector general's office numerous times about the handling
1:26 pm
of the case. and a bid to allegedly cover up the investigative mistakes and missteps. agent abbot was never brought to account just like the rest of his team and was allowed to retire with full benefits in 2018. the department of justice now needs to decide if it is going to be yet another institution that fail survivors. or if you are going to enforce some measure of accountability for these crimes, and in that same tweet, the senator is echoing the number one question on everybody's mind. how many, at least would have been spared, unimaginable pain if the f b, i had done his job. hey, it's not only those on capitol hill waiting for answers, but the entire nation too, will be f. b, i speak out and live up to the expectations. the pentagon has admitted that some of the colombian suspected of taking part in the assassination
1:27 pm
of haiti's president, previously received us military training. several had also been informants for the u. s. drug enforcement agency. a review of our training databases indicates that a small number of the columbia and individuals detained as part of the investigation had participated in past us mail, treat training and education programs while serving as active members of the columbus military forces. what the president was murdered in his home on july, the 7th around 20 suspects have been detained. the pentagon insists on trainees are committed to human rights and the rule of law. but the head of the institute for justice and democracy in haiti told us that washington plays a central role in the countries blood checking them will not do, even if the us didn't, wasn't involved in the assassination itself. the u. s. was deeply involved in creating the conditions that allow this assassination to happen, notably as support for, for the ph d party. and so what they are asking is that the us stop propping up
1:28 pm
a dictatorship and hating that. the us stop talking about sending soldiers, they don't want us soldiers, people who are associated with the da haben, involved in crime, and as to there's also been a history of the agents themselves being involved in drug trafficking and other crime in haiti. you know, most human rights groups a long time ago decided that that actually instituted controls was unrealistic and have been calling for for just d, just stopping this kind of training. but they continue some of these programs. and i think you are continuing to see people who are trained, they're using those skills to commit human rights violations. europe is ditching fossil fuels, at least that's the intention underneath radical plans. the block says it will stop the sale of petrol powered cars and go carbon neutral all within the next decade.
1:29 pm
the overarching goal was and of course, is to make europe the very 1st climate neutral continent in the world. and to build a new growth strategy to get there. however, going green will come at a cost a new tax on goods coming into the you will be used to back local firms to make the switch to clean around the g environmental activist. george bart does think that this is the wrong time for such a move to a carbon budget for a good talk to 1.5 degrees, which is all the government claims the rule that budget runs out in 2020 step by 2027. that should be, if we want to stay when provide, if there should be no more carbon emissions. now obviously reaching that because we've delayed action is mainly the lobbying from the industry and the revolving go between the corporation. now looks like an impossible cross
1:30 pm
that is absolutely what we should be aiming for. instead of aiming for their carbon, it's close to 2027 as possible. and bear in mind, you know, for even one to 5 degree the campus just last week, just in, in germany, you know, a 100 people died because it's like to climate change with thing, you know, from mary chrome fire, the fire cetera. the, he's already a crime against humanity. fortunately, this is more more of a when we need to real transformative action watching a lot international that brings you up today to for this i, we're back again though with more stories in about 30 minutes. me.
