i would like to say this country of ours is at the service of the two holy sites and i am here as a humble custodian of this holy place. mecca is the most important city to us. more than anywhere else. both mecca and medina. we will make sure there will be a thorough investigation and announce a full result to the public, god willing. >>ays's omar asali has more from saudi arabia on friday's crane collapse. >> hundreds of people were inside the grand mosque. tons of construction machinery came crushing down. as the crane toppled over, it broke through the roof of the building. underneath hundreds, hundreds of people were inside. some of them were praying. they stood no chance of escape. >> from the other side, these grainy images gave an idea of the stormy weather outside. you can just see how far the

the officials in this state, the families involved in this painful incident. >> there is construction all around the grand mosque. am cranes surround the complex, part after multi-billion dmrar project. the shear number of people converging on mecca each year creates security and logistical changes. in the past, that's resulted in deadly stampedes. safety measures have since been upgraded. this incident may have happened during the high winds and rains, but it could still force a safety and review of construction work at this plan's holy site. the saudi authorities are taking this tragic incident very seriously, but at the same time, they say hage is going as planned. omar al jazeera. >> the german company which provided the crane says it is helping with the investigation. tom bass has spent the last 38 years as a crane operator and accident investigator. he joins me now from charleston in south carolina.

thank you very much for speaking to us. what are your initial thoughts on what happened here, what might have caused this type of crane in this particular environment to collapse? >> with the small amount of information that i have and the video that i have seen, as i understand, there was high winds and rain and the boom went over backwards. it indicates to me that the boom was blown over backwards by high winds because the boom was at a high angle. this happens quite frequently in different parts of the world. so that would be my first opinion. high winds. >> and that's what we have heard from saudi authorities as well, that heavy winds and rain is thought to be the cause. wod there have been any sign or indication that this particular crane was vulnerable to those strong winds when other

cranes in the area surrounding that complex were able to withstand them? >> well, many things come in to play. were the other cranes tied down? were there booms at a low angle? these are the things that i do not know. and this was a crane with a lot of boom in it, and when there is high winds, it collects a lot of wind, and can push it over back yar wards. i don't know if the other cranes were weather veining, tied off or where a high wind would not blow the boom over backwards even though they were smaller length of boom. >> is this something that could have been prevented, do you think? >> absolutely. one of the things that could have been done is when the boom went over backwards, they could have tied off to a heavy load. >> way, the boom would not

have -- there would not have been high enough winds to blow the crane boom over backwards if they would have tied it off or if they could have moved the crane out from that area, and lowered the boom to the ground. >> when you think about the massive humanity that dessends on saudi arabia, it's really a very unique place. millions of people now about to carry out their fill grimmage. what sort of risks are there from having such intense construction work in the area? >> well, they should have lowered the booms and taken the safety side of where none of these things could happen. booms do collapse. i don't know if they were working at the time of it or what. but they could have been

prepared for the people coming in to worship where there wouldn't have been any problems with the cranes. this is easily done. >> well, thank you very much. it was really interesting to get your analysis on this. tom bass from charleston in south carolina. now, egypt's president has accepted the resignation of his entire cabinet. it comes days after the prime minister said that there would be no cabinet shake-up despite corruption charges facing the formering a greg culture minister who was arrested after allegations he and others received over a million dollars in bribes. the professor in modern and c contemporary history at qatar university suggests the cabinet was forced to resign by sisi. >> it seems the last three days there was a meeting three days ago that the cabinet and teams, there was a lot of reports about the responsibility of other, i

would say, maybe ministers or maybe the, you know, the -- some, i would say, top management within some ministries related to for agriculture. so, the minister was the core of this corruption study. there are others who are linked to that. it seems it was a hazy, you know, legacy to handle sisi. the solution was to just get rid of the government and think of, you know, a new option. of course, you have to look at the election is coming soon. does the parliament and sisi, last year about you need the parliament and ministers to be held accountable. if he wants a better environment within egyptian political atmosphere, so people can vote for the next parliament. the united kingdom's main opposition labor party has elected a new leader in what is seen as a significant move toward the left wing.

relatively low turn out in the last generally. they are a very political generation that were turned off by the way in which politics was being conducted, and not attracted or interested in it. >> in england which seems entrenched in right-wing politics, this is as far to the left. he is a pass fist against nuclear weapons. he wants a peace conference on syria rather than the government's proposed bombing campaign. he's equivocal on the european union and a staunch opponent of the controversial transatlantic trade talks known as ttip. and he demands big corporations in london stop avoiding tax. he wants the redistribution of wealth to the poor. his growing band of supporters, this victory was like an o assess of hope in a desert of bland politics. >> leading the labor party for the first time in 30 years.

>> for the architects of the tony blair's supposedly modern labor party, it was a total disaster. >> i think it's almost inconceivable that jeremiah corbin could lead the party to victory in the 2020 general election, but a lot of people clearly take a different view, and a huge number of people sfroertd him today. he has a massive mandate as leader of the party. so, he has the right to try to prove people like me wrong. >> reporter: jeremy jeremy corbin supporters know he faces w warfare. many inside his own party and from a corporate media here which, by and large, despises everything that he stands for. his vision is of a popular movement here taking on entrenched corporate interests in the from the bottom up. >> either means a road back to relevance for the labor party or potentially, the beginning of a funeral procession. corbin, himself, fresh from victory was on the road immediately with the dmooundzing the u.k. take in more refugees and show the world a compassionate face.

the westminster machine is not used to anything like this. the question is whether the public, so disillusioned with politics see corbin as the man fight their corner. lawrence lee, al jazeera. lon london. >> there is more to come for you this hour including japan's deadly floods finally, recede but many have blevent with no where to go. the u.s. police officers learn military tactics in training is part of the urban shield program but critics think it's a step too far. >> i don't think there is much of a gray area. i don't think this person should ever have a badge or a gun again. >> in sport, we hear from a former tennis star after his mistaken arrest in new york. ♪
