Ich bin Nick Miles, und in den ersten Stunden der Freitag, 15. September,

sind diese unsere Hauptsituationen.

Präsident Biden, der Sonntag, wurde kriminell verabschiedet,

mit Lachen, als ein Feuerarm zu kaufen.

Die Libyan Red Cross sagt, dass mindestens 11.000 Menschen

im Fluss in der Stadt der Dörner sind.

Und...

Sie nehmen ein Wort aus dir und haben eine Geschichte.

Und du willst mehr bezahlen, aber in den meisten Verhandlungen sind sie einfach verabschiedet.

Die Syrian Refugees schauen für verabschiedete und verabschiedete Menschen, und werden verabschiedet.

Auch in diesem Podcast.

Ein Mann in Brasil ist der erste, der auf einen Kuh in Januar betrachtet,

als die key

die Bullsharks, die schwimmig zu Leben auf einem australischen Golfkurs adaptiert sind.

Der US-Präsident Joe Biden, der Sonntag,

wurde auf federale Gun-Charges entdeckt.

Er ist der erste, der immer vorliegende

auf den 18. Oktober entdeckt wurde.

Er hat eine Form entdeckt, die jeder aus dem Bureau von Alkohol, Tobacco und Feuerarms entdeckt hat.

Und auf dieser Form hat er festgestellt, dass er nicht ein User von Narkotikern oder Drugs war.

Und die Prostikation erledigte, dass er nicht die Wahrheit erzählte.

Also waren es zwei Charges in Bezug auf die Purchtung.

Und dann ein weiteres, das zu ihm verabschiedet wurde,

um die 23. Oktober im Jahr zu werden.

Was haben Herr Biden die Lawyer gesagt, in Bezug auf diese Chargen?

Die Lawyer von Hunter Biden, in Bezug auf diese Chargen,

sagten, warte mal, die Facts dieser Falle haben nicht in den letzten fünf Jahren geändert.

Sie sagten, dass es eine politische Aktivität von Leuten, die supportieren,

was sie sagen, Magda, die Amerika ist größer.

Wieder, sie sagten, dass es politischer Druck von Donald Trump-Supporten gibt.

Es ist nur wert, zu notieren, wenn seine Lawyer zu den Facts der letzten fünf Jahren waren.

Sie hatten Negotiations mit Prostikationen in Delaware schon.

In dem November 2024 Präsidential-Elektion,

zu welchem Grund du denkst, dass die Republikan-Präsidentinnen

das zu den Biden-Branden in General verabschiedet werden kann?

Es gibt Hunter Biden-Supporten, die, glaub ich,

eine Konspiranz von Donald Trump-Supporten,

die das kriminelle Justice-System benutzen.

Und das sind die gleichen Chargen, die die Opposition natürlich vorgestellt hat.

Aber die Wahrheit ist, das ist ein unvergessliches Problem.

Das ist nicht mit Hunter Biden's Vater, Joe Biden.

Das ist exklusiv zu tun mit der Possession der Fahre, und von Hunter Biden.

Das wird nicht stoppen, Donald Trump-Supporten,

in particulär using it for political capital.

Sean Dilley in Washington.

The World Health Organization is warning that survivors of flooding in Libya

remain in danger from contaminated floodwater and a lack of medical supplies.

The organization has announced it is sending trauma,

surgical and emergency equipment to the country.

There are growing calls from inside Libya for an inquiry into the disaster.

Najwa Wahiba is a spokesperson for Libya's Presidential Council.

It's rarely to happen such a strong storm in the Mediterranean,

but at the same time, the huge number of victims reflects that there might be human mistakes,

there might be negligence.

Also there were complaints from the towns of the Green Mountain and Durna

that there might be delay in delivery of aid.

So that's why we asked officially the Attorney General to launch an investigation,

and those who are responsible must hold accountable.

Well, the Libyan Red Crescent says the number of people who've died

in the city of Durna has now risen to 11,000,

and that figure is expected to grow as the recovery effort continues

and more bodies are retrieved from the mud.

Sebastian Arscher has the latest.

In a race against time to prevent an outbreak of disease.

The political divisions that have plagued Libya for years

are likely to complicate the process.

Many Libyans have blamed politicians,

whether in the UN-backed administration in Tripoli

or the breakaway authority in Benghazi,

for failing to maintain infrastructure,

especially the two dams that burst just outside Durna.

The head of the World Meteorological Organization

has said many casualties could have been avoided

if it had even just been a properly working weather service.

Sebastian Arscher.

Well, our correspondent Anna Foster

has just arrived in Benghazi,

that's about 150 km to the west of Durna,

and spoke to us just before we recorded this podcast.

I think one thing that's really striking is that

in the days after a catastrophe on the scale of this one,

you'd normally expect to see huge amounts of aid really pouring in.

I remember seeing it very quickly after the earthquake in Turkey

and Syria just over six months ago.

But the airport in Benghazi here today,

while there has been some activity,

some international teams arriving,

it is really not the hive that you would expect

and that this country needs.

There are many injuries,

there are many, many thousands more who are displaced.

And this country with its infrastructure

that is so ravaged by more than a decade now of conflict,

a country which doesn't have a single functioning government,

which has warring factions in east and west,

is in no position to try and deal really with the

the scale of the disaster that now faces it.

Ana Foster.

On January the 1st, 2023,

Luis Inacio Lula de Silva

was inaugurated as the 39th President of Brazil.

Seven days later,

this was the scene at the Presidential Palace in Brasilia.

Thousands of supporters of Jair Boltonaro,

the former President and losing candidate

in last year's election,

broke through police lines

and stormed the Presidential Palace

and other key government buildings,

ransacking them as they went.

Now, the first person to be convicted

in connection with the riots in Brasilia

has been jailed for 17 years.

Our correspondent Katie Watson is in Sao Paulo

and told me more.

So, the first one to be convicted is

Ayesia Lucio Costa Pereira, he's 51.

He was filmed in the Senate on January the 8th

with a T-Shirt calling for a military coup.

He also recorded a video praising people

who had broken into the Senate.

So, he is the first of a batch of four people actually,

first off to be tried

and he's been sentenced for 17 years,

you've said, for criminal association,

staging a coup, violent attack on the rule of law,

qualified damage, destruction of public assets,

because I think every single Brazilian

for many years to come

will remember the ransacked offices,

the damaged artwork

and the total chaos that we saw take place

on January the 8th.

Coming back to the present day,

this is the first conviction and sentencing,

sending a very strong message, 17 years.

There are many more cases to follow though.

That's right.

So, three more people are currently in the dock.

This is kind of the first batch, if you like.

The Supreme Court is looking at.

But there's more than a thousand people

who've been accused of crimes in connection with the riots

and expected that those people will be tried

before the end of the year.

I mean, it's worth pointing out

that Aísa Lucio Costa Pereira,

he denied Rondoing,

he said that he believed the protest would be peaceful.

But it was a claim that was absolutely rejected by the court.

In fact, one judge argued,

it was impossible for someone with a healthy conscience

to believe that after openly inciting a coup,

they were there just for a trip to the park

because he said pretty cynically.

But I mean, that's the thing.

I think that's what a lot of people will be arguing

that they didn't mean to do this,

this was not, this was all meant to be peaceful.

But there's a lot of evidence showing

that the kind of the build up to January the 8th

and this inciting a coup

in trying to justify that the elections were unfair

and they were rigged.

And this is what we're probably gonna see play out

in the coming months.

Katie Watson.

It was described as simply an equipment failure.

But the consequences were a total collapse

of electricity generation in Nigeria

with widespread blackouts.

It's not the first big problem

with electricity supplies in a country

that's a major exporter of oil and gas.

Last year, the grid collapsed four times.

I asked our reporter Nkechi Ogbona in Lagos

what had happened and how widespread it had been.

As far as we know, the national grid collapsed

at about 5 a.m.

We do not know what the cause of that national collapse was.

But a lot of distribution companies

had sent out messages to consumers stating

that there was power outage

and they would restore power once the national grid was rectified.

And how long did that take?

It took a couple of hours.

In some parts modern midday

and in some parts power has just been restored this afternoon.

So it's like a gradual restoration across the country.

Now this was quite an extreme event even for Nigeria.

But on a regular basis,

there are random power cuts in various parts of the country

on a daily basis, aren't there?

Exactly.

Now sometimes they could run for 12 hours or more

depending on the supply.

Sometimes it's ascribed to the low water

in the dams that are generating from the hydroelectricity plants.

Other times is the gas tollbinds as well

have probably low supply

and so transmission could also be an issue.

Unkechi, how do people adapt

to dealing with these power outages

that are so unpredictable?

How do small businesses cope?

How do people cope with their everyday lives?

Well a lot of small businesses in the country

rely on fuel and diesel generators

for manufacturing for production.

Alternative sources of energy would have been ideal

in terms of solar, but those are very expensive

and are not affordable to small business owners

and home owners as well.

That was Unkechi Ogbona in Lagos.

Now thousands of Syrians have been detained

or have gone missing since the start of the uprising

in Syria in 2011 and the war that followed.

Their families have no idea where they are

or whether they're dead or alive.

In desperation, they are paying thousands of dollars

for information which almost always turns out to be false.

Lena Sinjab reports from Turkey

where she meets Syrian refugees

searching for news of their missing relatives.

I'm visiting a woman named Malak,

a Syrian mother of three sons.

Two of them are missing in Syria.

Her tiny apartment is in the suburbs of Istanbul.

She scrolls through her phone showing me photos

of the two brothers who she hasn't seen

since they were arrested by the Syrian authorities

eleven years ago.

This is her elder son before he was arrested.

He's just very young and with brown hair

and little mustache.

This is the younger son Mahad

just before he's arrested.

He's too young to face all of this.

He's too young.

The United Nations estimates that a hundred thousand Syrians

have been imprisoned and have disappeared

since the beginning of Syria's uprising in 2011.

It became a civil war as President Assad's brutal regime

cracked down on unarmed protesters,

killing and arresting thousands of them.

Malak's older son

was detained after deserting the army in 2012

and she's heard nothing since.

Malak and her youngest son left Syria in 2017

to start a new life in Turkey,

home now to more than three million Syrian refugees.

She, like many, has paid middlemen

to try to find out about her missing sons.

They take one word from you and create a story.

So they make you more interested

and you want to pay more so that you get information.

But in most cases they are just lying

and extracting your money for nothing.

There is an assumption that paying bribes

is the only way to get anything done in Syria.

My name is Riyad Ablar, co-founder

in the Association of the Chinese Emission in Sidneyer Prison.

Sidneyer Prison is one of the most notorious in Syria

and Riyad, who's actually Turkish,

was detained there for criticizing the government

while a student.

His family heard nothing about him for 15 years.

When he was eventually released,

he and a fellow prisoner set up this organization

in the southern Turkish city of Gaziantap

to help former detainees

and the Syrian relatives of the missing.

Riyad is concerned that desperate families

are paying large sums for information

and receive nothing genuine in return.

Most of them told us $5,000, $10,000.

Even my family, they sold their houses

to pay the middlemen.

The amount can be even higher.

I got tortured in the most cruel and brutal way.

We even experienced sexual torture.

We were taken to places I did not imagine we had in Syria.

Mohammad Abdesalam is traumatized by the torture

he experienced in prison in Syria.

He was arrested after taking part

in a peaceful protest in Idlib against the government.

In 2014, his family was given a death certificate

saying he died of a heart attack,

but his father refused to believe it.

My father, God bless his soul, paid huge sums of money,

more than $40,000 or $50,000 to try and get me out.

He got in touch with the broker.

I was released with the help of this guy.

For Mohammad's family, paying did actually work.

So Israel is an NGO,

right to deter people from doing this.

Yes, he says.

Most of them is from the intelligence self.

And the others, maybe they are working together.

So they are either representative

of the security apparatus themselves

or somebody with connection to them.

Of course.

Let me say, they working as a web.

The United Nations has recently voted

for the creation of an independent institution

to tackle the issue of the missing in Syria.

We asked the Syrian government

whether they would be cooperating with this

and for their response to the fact that

100,000 people are missing.

We have had no reply.

And you can hear more on this story on assignment

here on the BBC World Service.

Still to come on the Global News Podcast.

NASA says it's going to try to find out if UFOs exist.

And in doing so.

Shift the conversation from sensationalism to science

to make sure that information is shared

transparently around the world.

Italy's Interior Ministry says nearly 7,000 migrants

who've crossed from North Africa

have arrived on the island of Lampedusa

in the last two days.

That is more than the island's resident population.

When the local mayor has called a state of emergency

calling for assistance.

With more details,

here's our Europe regional editor Danny Eberhardt.

NASA ist an Emission

to find signs of unidentified life.

The Space Agency commissioned a study last June

into UFOs or UAPs.

Unidentified anomalous phenomena,

as it now prefers to call them.

And has been giving a briefing

into more than 800 unexplained events

that have been collected over 27 years.

Some of the world's leading data and AI scientists

worked on this study.

Here's NASA's Chief Bill Nelson outlining its aims.

Examine, how NASA can use our expertise

and instruments to study UAP

from a scientific perspective.

Second, shift the conversation about UAP

from sensationalism to science.

And whatever we find or whatever we recommend

to make sure that information is shared

transparently around the world.

Our North America correspondent Nomiya Iqbal

was at the NASA briefing in Washington.

When we went into the conference,

of course, people get quite excited about

anything to do with UFOs.

They think that is NASA going to reveal something huge?

Are we going to find out that there's life on another planet

or anything like that?

But of course, it's nothing of the sort.

And they said that this is about them

being more transparent about what they know

and what they don't know.

And they say they just don't have enough data

to understand what's out there.

And Nomiya, you mentioned the need for transparency

in the minds of NASA.

And that, I imagine to a certain extent,

is to do with what happened earlier on in the year as well

because there was an awful lot of comment

in a congressional hearing about a lack of transparency.

That's right. Back in June,

there were former military officers who gave

really stunning evidence or stunning testimony,

I should say, about UFOs, about alien lives,

accusing the US government in a nutshell

of covering something up.

Now, our team did put that to Mr. Nelson

and he sort of questioned the credibility

of specifically one of the witnesses

and saying, look, all I want is facts, just give me evidence.

But there's no denial that there is a huge

spiking interest in UAPs, as they call them.

And they want to work closely with the government.

They want to work closely with the military

to try and understand UAPs more.

It's extraordinary, isn't it?

Because I can't remember it being this high profile

for a very, very long time.

Is that purely, do you think,

because of a number of sightings going on?

I think it's a lot to do with that.

There's also the congressional hearing

that you mentioned as well.

If you remember back to earlier in the year,

the alleged Chinese spy balloons as well,

I just think there's always been that fascination,

hasn't there?

And I said to Mr. Nelson, you have rebranded this UAP.

You're not using the term UFO.

They want to broaden the definition of it.

But it's also to destigmatise it.

And I said to him, people use the term UFOs.

I have to be honest, even when I'm saying UAPs,

I get confused.

Is it UAP, UPA?

Because you want to say UFOs.

And that's how the American public are.

That's how people are globally.

And he laughed, Mr. Nelson.

He said people will always have

that sort of fantasy, Indiana Jones.

I also mentioned the ex father's

probably done a lot of damage as well,

which he laughed at.

But NASA, it's a really ambitious objective of theirs

to try and take all that sensationalism

and turn it into something scientific.

That was Namir Iqbal.

The French supermarket, Carrefour,

has put warning labels on products

that are guilty of so-called shrinkflation.

This is when an item has become smaller in size,

but the cost has gone up.

The supermarket says the labels are to help shoppers.

But that the move is also intended to pressure suppliers

like Unilever and Nestle to rethink their pricing.

From Paris, here's Hugh Schofield.

In these times of very high inflation,

a very interesting phenomenon here in France,

the giant supermarket chain, Carrefour,

one of the biggest in the country,

is sticking it to the food industry in a very public way.

We're in the soft drinks section.

And next to a quite well-known brand of soft drink,

there is a sign that says shrinkflation.

This product has seen its quantity go down,

while the tariff you pay for what it contains has gone up.

In other words, you are paying the same or more,

and you're getting less.

Now, quite clearly Carrefour is doing this

in order to show that it is on the side of the consumers.

So how do they feel?

I think it's a great initiative.

It's important to inform the consumers about what is happening,

so they can make informed choices.

It's great that Carrefour are doing this.

Life is very expensive now.

So if I see the price of something going up,

while the quantity goes down, I'm not going to buy it.

I think that Carrefour has been aware of the issue for months.

If not before, I mean the orange juice,

they've been sold in a 900mm package for maybe three, four years.

Now, the food industry is not taking this accusation lying down.

It's pointed out that the number of products singled out by Carrefour

for this shrinkflation treatment is actually tiny,

which is perfectly true.

Rather more pointedly, a consumer affairs group

has accused the supermarket of hypocrisy,

that 99 cent bag of potatoes in the cut price section

still costs 99 cents,

but there are now rather fewer potatoes inside it.

Hughes Cofield reporting.

Now, have a listen to this.

Don't sit here and lecture us.

Don't sit here and lecture us, Mr McAdams.

We shut him down.

I'm not talking.

I'm not talking.

It's the other guy who's talking.

I haven't been able to say a word.

Well, that is the kind of fiery debate

that takes place almost every evening on Indian television.

But now the presenters themselves have come under fire.

Members of the main Opposition Alliance in India

have decided to boycott television presenters,

who they say are legitimising hatefield rhetoric in the country.

The Alliance accused the presenters of favouring

the governing Hindu BJP nationalist party

and not giving enough media coverage

to the Opposition Congress Party Leader Rahul Gandhi.

One of the presenters being boycotted

is Arnab Goswami.

Here's his response.

And I want to say to them today,

as they bring out this ridiculous boycott threat,

bring it on.

The people of this country are with us, with me.

We have the nation on our side

because the nation is with republic

and republic does not compromise.

Our South Asia editor, Ambrasan Etarajan,

tell me more about why the Opposition Alliance

has taken the decision.

So, what we heard in the first clip about

gets talking over each other and the presenter yelling.

It's only tip of the iceberg.

If you watch some of these television channel debates

in India in the evening,

people really get angry day in and day out.

The civility that has gone.

Now, this has become a real issue for Opposition

because what happened in the last nine years

after the Hindu nationalist BJP came to power.

See, the job of a journalist to hold people in power accountable,

but then the television debates were only questioning

the opposition parties.

And whatever Rahul Gandhi,

the leader of the congress party was doing,

they twist the speech.

And most importantly,

it's all about hateful rhetoric against minorities,

against Muslims and Christians.

Now, the Opposition Alliance says,

they have earmarked these 14 presenters.

On their shows, we are not going to go

because they are not impartial.

They are favoring a particular political party.

They are threatening the social fabric of the country.

And that is what the Opposition Alliance has decided.

How's the governing BJP and all these media organizations?

How have they reacted to this?

The Digital Broadcasters Association say,

you know, this is a threat to the freedom of press,

quite unprecedented because you are boycotting

a certain number of television presenters,

which means you're not able to put forward the other views.

So, it sends out a very strong message

in terms of freedom of expression.

And the BJP, the governing party,

they have strongly condemned.

But on the other side,

for example, if BBC calls the BJP spokesperson,

they would not talk to us,

because they view BBC as anti-national

and putting views against the interests of India.

There are two different arguments here.

This for the television presenters,

now to come out with what kind of answers

they are going to give to this.

Amber Sun Etirajan.

Now, one of Australia's richest men

has apologized after saying that unemployment

should rise to remind arrogant workers of their place.

Tim Garner had claimed the COVID pandemic

had changed employees' attitudes to work for the worse.

He now says he deeply regrets the remarks,

but as Phil Mercer reports from Sydney,

that hasn't stopped the backlash.

And federal MPs have slammed millionaire property developer Tim Garner

after he accused workers of being arrogant.

Australia's TV news headlines

have been dominated by a tycoon,

whose remarks have been condemned as shocking and offensive.

On Tuesday, Tim Garner said that the pandemic

had made workers lazy.

People decided they didn't really want to work so much anymore

through COVID and that has had a massive issue on productivity.

And we need to see that change.

We need to see unemployment rise.

Unemployment has to jump 40, 50% in my view.

We need to see pain in the economy.

We need to remind people that they work for the employer,

not the other way around.

A 40-50% rise in Australia's unemployment rate

would see more than 200,000 people lose their jobs.

Tim Garner has apologized for his comments,

but the fury they've ignited in the Australian media and beyond

shows no sign of abating.

What an extremely obnoxious human being.

Is he an employer or a zookeeper?

It's crazy, huh?

Tim Garner has had some support in the business community.

It's not the first time he's lit the fuse on controversy.

He made headlines in 2017,

when he suggested young people couldn't afford to buy a home

because they were spending too much on avocado toast

and didn't work enough.

Das war Phil Mercer.

Now, have you heard about the sharks on a golf course?

It's not the start of a joke,

but the subject of an academic study no less

that has just been published in the journal Marine and Fishery Sciences.

For the last 20 years,

sharks have been living in a lake on a golf course

near Brisbane in Queensland, Australia,

and they've been able to survive surprisingly well

in water far less salty than they are used to.

Scott Wagstaff is the General Manager of Carbrook Golf Club.

He told Evan Davis how the sharks ended up there.

We've got a couple of big river systems next to our golf course

and what happens when it rains a lot

is these rivers flood and inundate the golf course.

And then in this case, we've got a really big lake

that was the result of sand mining.

It's 21 hectares in size.

And so the river comes over, dumps a few sharks in

and then it recedes and leaves them there

and they grew up in this big lake

and yeah, that's sort of how it all happened at the start.

And these are right next to the golf course.

Oh yeah, yeah, you have to play alongside the lake

on a number of holes back in the day when they were seen a lot.

You know, it was quite common for golfers to be just walking along,

mining their own business, playing their golf

and then see a shark fin cruising only a few meters away from them.

How dangerous are the bull sharks?

They are very dangerous when you're in the water.

Fortunately with us, the golfers stay on the land

and the sharks stay in the water and we haven't had a problem.

This is not salt water in the lake, but these are salt water sharks.

So this is why scientists have been quite interested

in the experience of this community.

It's not fresh water, it's brackish water.

So it's in the middle where we're about six kilometers from the ocean.

So the water has a high salinity

even though it's sort of in that middle part.

But the sharks seem to be fine.

They've got the fish in the lake obviously,

so they've got food and stuff.

Yeah, it just sort of became its own little ecosystem

for a very long time.

And lots of fish in there and the sharks were happy.

It was all you can eat pretty much.

And they just grew up in their little happy environment.

And so for the best part of 20 years,

they just swam around and ate fish and scared golfers.

And I understand that you did occasionally throw some meat in

just to give them a little treat.

I did, yes.

More for camera action.

I sort of had a little spot where I could put meat in the water

and a couple of sharks were very well trained

and they would come in and appear almost within five or 10 minutes.

So yeah, got to see them quite a lot.

And they'd come in and eat the meat very gently,

not aggressively and take the meat and off they'd go.

What's happened to the sharks?

They were in there for a very long time

and from what we understand,

they sort of probably got a little bit old

and we had a bit of trouble with fishermen coming in at night time

and trying to hook them up.

And we lost a couple that way

and just through various interactions with the lake,

they've just basically got to the end of their life.

We're not really sure if the rivers have brought in some new life

or the lake's empty,

but I wouldn't be going swimming in there just yet.

Have you managed to use this as a marketing ploy for your golf course?

Yeah, probably accidentally.

YouTube and social media has helped us

become a little bit better known than maybe we should be

and the club's changed its logo.

Now we've got a little bit of a shark sort of feel to our logo

and I reckon we've squeezed a few miles out of our sharks,

that's for sure.

He's the first child of a sitting US president to be criminally prosecuted. Also: The Red Crescent in Derna says eleven thousand people are now thought to have died in the catastrophic flooding that swept through the Libyan port, and the bull sharks that adapted swimmingly to life on an Australian golf course.
