neighboring iraq almost four thousand people have been injured the epicenter was in iraq it was thirty kilometers southwest of the town of hadera it caused widespread damage in both countries shelob ellis reports. hospital homes with the wounded in western iran i found i fell from a balcony it was so fast as it should be as more pieces of glass fell on my hand and it got injured and new arrivals from remote towns swelled the hospital to capacity but i thought of those that are there some up during the earthquake my hand hit the glass on the glass broke going into my face and hands. the flow is stating as more people are found in the rubble the death toll rises to. the earthquake was centered on iraq iran border near the iraqi town of a larger striking at nine eighteen local time. it was very strange

suddenly the glasses dropped off the table the fan was shaking we were so afraid we had to run out of the house because our house was old. the u.s. geological survey immediately issued an orange alert the governor saying deaths and damage should be expected then came the first reports of fatalities on the iran side of the border in the town of custer shooting people use their phones in a makeshift assessment of the cost of this quake early reports suggested eight villages had been damaged and electricity cut as night wore on it grew by daybreak any estimation seventy thousand people were displaced. iran is one of the most seismically active countries in the world several major fault lines cross the country and in two thousand and three a six point six magnitude earthquake flattened the historic city of bam twenty six thousand people died. while earthquakes may be frequent here the

people are not immune from panic in iraq shops and moves evacuated across kurdish territory in iran people were too scared to reenter the harms as aftershocks pipit both sides of the border they slipped on the street shallot ballasts al jazeera. all right we can go live now to the iraqi capital baghdad our correspondent there is imran khan and ran to the epicenter was actually in iraq but most of the damage seems to be in iran. and the iranians have now moved in their emergency response teams very quickly i have to say setting up field hospitals moving into heavy machinery to try and get to people that may still be trapped in the rubble now iran as you heard in that report that is one of them i saw is it the active regions in the world to the iranians and what they need to get done but that still doesn't mean that this is going to be over anytime soon some seventy thousand people have been displaced what we're also hearing is that the local doctor glass

part has been shut down for safety reasons alison area gets very cold so that's going to have an impact on people's heating also going to have an impact on the ability to cook food so a lot of misery still to come within that area itself but the iranians are bringing in as much as they can the head of the iranian revolutionary guard corps is in kind of right now he's directing operations so we're still going to see that death toll rise as the day goes on is likely to be quite high given that this was all those sparsely. populated areas within the villages and cells because it was across such a wide region and because of these houses not being that much quite proof because they're in remote areas rather than areas like i say i think the death toll will rise throughout the day and meanwhile any rock which is where obviously the earthquakes epicenter. is the nearest big town to the epicenter what's the

story there. well the iraqis aren't used to quakes of this magnitude hitting them here in baghdad where i was there was a lot of panic and confusion nine eighteen p.m. when the earthquake began buildings were swaying i was in my hotel room and the building was swaying left to right doors were opening. people thought and fact i thought it was an explosion brought a few seconds to realize it was an earthquake because came to a standstill and people were panicking now this is something that the promise i would rather body has realized that did happen to his citizens he's tried to reassure them saying that he's in touch with all of the relevant authorities that it's unlikely that they'll be any more aftershocks here however they do seem to be taking place on the iranian side so it's likely that we will see people panicking and any kind of movement that takes place on the ground and that's a symptom of the fact that iraq simply isn't used to and especially baghdad simply

isn't used to quakes taking place all right now imran khan live in baghdad thanking . donald trump is provoking ungar in the philippines where. leaders. for justice at the s.c.m. summit in manila say the u.s. president's aggressive rhetoric and posturing is a regional tensions. but away from the protests he's been meeting leaders to talk about north korea and trade he's met the filipino president rodriguez attach a saying the police killing of thousands of suspected illegal drug users was not. we've had a great relationship this is been very successful we have many meetings today with many other leaders. and conference has been handled beautifully by the president in the philippines and your representatives let's go live now to our correspondent at

the summit rough ride. i suppose this is a much anticipated meeting wasn't it between two of the world's most controversial leaders donald trump a drudgery detesting. it certainly was as you said there long anticipated given the two characters involved and as we heard as far as donald trump is concerned they have a great rapport a great relationship that seems to have been confirmed from the philippines side in the last hour or so we've had a briefing from the philippine government spokesman which is said that the relationship traditionally between the united states and the philippines has always been good but said that it did take a downturn with what he called a sour point during the president under president obama something which now under president from peace says has been fixed as far as what they talked about the talks went on for about forty minutes was said to be friendly call deal they talked about trade. thanks trunk for help that he had given with the u.s.

military in fighting islam is the insurgency in the previous few months down in southern mindanao island as for whether they got onto the subject of human rights or not that does seem to be some confusion to say the least the white house spokesperson has said that the subject of human rights was brought up this is a very controversial issue with critics accusing the trumpet ministration of abandoning the traditional role of a u.s. president when traveling anywhere in the world i've always wanting to bring human rights from the philippines point of view they have denied that they have said that while yes the drugs issue was brought up there has been this killing of thousands of people in this war on drugs in the philippines under do turtle donald trump simply listened nodded quite a lot didn't say very much and seemed to be sympathetic to the filipino cause the

drugs menace that's been tackled here and. no circumstances did he raise the subject of human rights so some dispute that mounting and what about the other main issue for donald trump at least and that is of course north korea and its nuclear program. that has been something he has been promoting throughout this trip this is the end of this trip to asia he has promised that he will tell us more when he gets back to washington on wednesday just to the upshot of this and also if we can expect to see anything new when it comes to north korea it is interesting to point out that this visit comes just as we get up to the sixty day point without a missile test from north korea which has led to a lot of speculation about whether the north koreans are being more conciliatory whether they might be edging towards the kind of kind of conditions where we might be able to see some dialogue that remains to be seen but we have also during this

week a reminder of just what's at stake on display some of the military options that the north americans have spoken about in particular exercises by three of its aircraft carriers in the seas between japan and the korean peninsula the kind of military hardware a showing of military hardware that we haven't had for ten years martin all right rob thank you rob mcbride live at the ass end summit in manila. now south korea's military is reporting that north korean troops shot and injured a fellow soldier as he attempted to defect to the south it happened near the border village of panmunjom and he's been taken to hospital that's obviously something we'll bring you more detail on as soon as we get it. now saudi arabia's mission to the u.n. has announced that the saudi led coalition will begin reopening airports and seaports in yemen saudi arabia had place

more greenhouse gas emissions and cars planes trains and ships combined but scientists in the netherlands claim to be close to bringing laboratory grain meat to market. pouch. in defeat this is what making a beef burger might look like taking sales from a piece of go and letting them multiply into cultured meat this university professor says he can grow ten thousand kilograms of meat from just one piece of muscle and he says we better get used to it that in effect means that we can reduce the number of cars worldwide from one and a half billion to maybe ten thousand. and then we won't have the methane emissions we won't have all the resources that go into a car because of how is a terribly inefficient animal so this process is going to be more efficient. so that it produces less resources and it's not as polluted and

you can let the cow live as the world's population increases the demand on food supplies will also grow dramatically meat production takes up eight percent of the world's water huge amount of land and contributes almost a fifth of the world's greenhouse gas emissions average european it's about eighty who knows if we need a year that's about four hundred of these very what is in a few years from now or a burger grown in a lab will say six seconds to see and be the exact same price as the ones here which one when the consumer killed this woman is one of the world's leading food scientist she believes that what we might find palatable today might be normal for the next generation i mean there are many things people have to learn to eat. that their grandmothers didn't eat certain food to vegetables but also certain types of fish that people didn't know about her or snails for example that many people did

not eat apart from the french. i think it's a it's a fallacy to think that that fruit habits are in more vile in time in fact we eat quite different things from our grandparents parents' generation that at a burger restaurant the manager has mixed emotions he worries about the damage too much meat planets but he's also suspicious of the idea of eating meat so there are the fish don't like eating plastic or something even though you say that they do have the exact same taste but well for now it's a one step before i cannot think of meeting that. science means that the cells of just one cow. could pre-fight enough meat for the whole of europe the first lab burgers are expected to be on the market within three years but even if science could solve the massive issues caused by our meat industry the question remains will we eat it appeared on al-jazeera the netherlands.
