:03:42. > :03:46.TRANSLATION: The fact is we are overwhelmed with a feeling of
:03:47. > :03:50.depression. It is like being beaten and being stopped from crying. You
:03:51. > :03:52.want to watch your daughter but there is nothing you can do. It is
:03:53. > :03:59.really heartbreaking. Well, Martin Patience -
:04:00. > :04:02.says the video will bring mixed feelings for the families
:04:03. > :04:08.of these girls. I think also renewed sense of hope
:04:09. > :04:13.for these families. It has been two years since their daughters were
:04:14. > :04:15.abducted. Initially, they got no information and they criticise the
:04:16. > :04:20.previous administration for not taking enough action in order to
:04:21. > :04:25.rescue their daughters. There was a period of goodwill for the current
:04:26. > :04:27.government. It was felt among some of the families that they were at
:04:28. > :04:33.least putting pressure on book or ramp. And we have seen the military
:04:34. > :04:37.make real gains against the militants in the north-east of
:04:38. > :04:41.Nigeria. But the fact remains that in a two year period, only one girl
:04:42. > :04:47.has managed to escape and more than 200 are still missing. I think there
:04:48. > :04:51.is still desperation, but as we heard from that man there, yes,
:04:52. > :04:56.Wilder is a great deal of sadness, he stated that he had a renewed
:04:57. > :05:14.sense of hope that perhaps one day his daughter may come home.

:06:59. > :07:03.Thank you for being with us. I understand you are out and about.
:07:04. > :07:11.How are you able to help the people affected by the floods? We are out
:07:12. > :07:22.in boats and waders and we're doing everything we can to try to rescue
:07:23. > :07:28.folks who are trapped in bridges, in canals. I have seen 30 boats and
:07:29. > :07:36.individuals are just reaching out and doing all they can to help our
:07:37. > :07:41.fellow citizens. What is the need to you are? Right now, the need is to
:07:42. > :07:47.get people to safety. Our shelters are overwhelmed. Food, cots,
:07:48. > :07:53.blankets, medical supplies, things of that nature. And then probably a
:07:54. > :07:57.week from now, it will be folks who do not have flood insurance, helping
:07:58. > :08:00.them to repair their lives, to rebuild their houses and replace
:08:01. > :08:05.their clothes. We will start recovery efforts in the next week.
:08:06. > :08:11.We will have things on Facebook, e-mails and Twitter are going out.
:08:12. > :08:18.We're looking at pictures of the flooded areas. How are you getting
:08:19. > :08:23.about? Right now, we're driving my pick-up truck as far as we can and
:08:24. > :08:29.then we have a small flat boat that we are getting around in to go to
:08:30. > :08:34.areas. We are on the Hammond highway and there is a massive rescue,
:08:35. > :08:40.getting people across the canal into the other side so they can get to
:08:41. > :08:44.safety. And have you been personally affected by the floods? No. My
:08:45. > :08:51.church is dry and my house is dry. I live on a hill. And the church
:08:52. > :08:54.members, my friends and family, they have been impacted. It doesn't
:08:55. > :09:00.matter who they are, we're just trying to help everybody we right
:09:01. > :09:07.now. We spoke a few weeks ago about baton rouge, and the shooting of
:09:08. > :09:11.Alton Stirling. This is the last thing that baton rouge needs. That's
:09:12. > :09:17.correct. It is the last thing we were need right now. The people are
:09:18. > :09:23.coming together to help each other. We have to do what we can to move
:09:24. > :09:28.above and beyond. And we are seeing the most extraordinary rescue is
:09:29. > :09:34.happening, residents helping each other. Is there a sense of
:09:35. > :09:39.solidarity. Yes, it is pulling us together, and we are doing
:09:40. > :09:43.everything we can to try to make sure that we can get as many people
:09:44. > :09:49.as we can to safety. Have you ever seen flooding like this? Not here in
:09:50. > :09:54.baton rouge but I was in New Orleans with hurricane Katrina. With
:09:55. > :09:59.hurricane Katrina, yes, but no flooding like this here. It is
:10:00. > :10:19.unprecedented for baton rouge. Thank you very much for your time.

:10:47. > :10:50.did the violence. Two petrol stations and an number of other

:10:57. > :11:09.suffered head injuries after a brick was thrown through the window of his
:11:10. > :11:16.squad car. We have a variety of estimates. But the crowd grew
:11:17. > :11:20.rapidly. It was amazing how many people actually showed up in such a
:11:21. > :11:24.short period of time. The violence was sparked after police shot dead a

:11:30. > :11:34.stolen handgun, loaded with more than 20 rounds. The officer did not

:11:43. > :11:45.the gun that officer was staring at. And I want to make sure that we do
:11:46. > :11:52.not lose any police officers in this community either. Police responded
:11:53. > :11:57.to the armrest with force. Flooding the streets to try to restore order.

:23:11. > :23:12.Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Callum But they couldn't find
:23:13. > :23:24.an equaliser and Jurgan Klopp's We have to improve. Of course,
:23:25. > :23:28.everybody knows it. Even in a game where we were not brilliant, we
:23:29. > :23:33.scored his goals, so we can be always a threat if we want, if we
:23:34. > :23:39.stay in the game, if we use our quality and skills, we can. Of
:23:40. > :23:45.course, all the time you need to defend better, especially like a
:23:46. > :23:48.team -- against a team like Arsenal. Everybody was morning around, nobody
:23:49. > :23:54.felt good at this moment. And then one minute later, the whole
:23:55. > :23:57.atmosphere changed. We had a good first half and we were lucky to be
:23:58. > :24:03.at 1-1 at half-time. After the second half, I felt like we made a
:24:04. > :24:10.massive mistake on the second goal and after that, you could see that
:24:11. > :24:15.we were shocked. After that, we showed great spirit to come back and
