sued in world news more than seven decades ago a country was split into a good deal to me and now i'm going to be my baby all it took was a pan a mop and a collapsing empire when the british had to draw a line they pulled in six seven two had never been to india before al-jazeera examines the violence of india and pakistan and asks what the future holds for these neighbors borders of blood at this time. this is. carrie this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes.

and his vision grows a world economic forum ahead of donald trump's keynote address and all of us will bring it to you live plus. turkey steps up its military campaign in northern syria signaling it may extend it as far east as a rock our reporter is on the ground. south korea's president orders an investigation after dozens were killed in a hospital fire. and a devastating water shortage in haiti leaves thousands with no safe water to drink yet more fallout for that powerful two thousand and ten earthquake. and i'm far as well have all the day's sport news including defending champion roger federer reached a record seventh australian open final when he found crean opponent was forced to retire. any man. but now donald trump will become the first u.s.

president since bill clinton to deliver the keynote speech of the annual world economic forum in davos these are live pictures so he's expected to use this address to promote his america first agenda there are some indications though that he might maybe adjust his position a senior administration official says the president will call for free but fair trade and may consider rejoining some trade agreements so we have an eye an ear to this for when the president again to speak in the meantime let's go to our diplomatic editor james spader's who joins us live from davos so james give us kind of a look ahead of it what we expect donald trump to perhaps touch on. well a very short distance away from that congress hall where the president is jus to speak the white house a short time ago put out some excerpts some of the lines that we're expecting to hear from the speech one of them for example this quote the world is witnessing a strong and prosperous america there's never been

a better time to hard to build to invest and to grow in the u.s. so it's pretty clear that the donald trump we're going to hear is the salesman in chief for the united states he said i believe is going to say we think if he sticks to the script and that's something you can never say for definite with donald j. trump but i believe in america's president the united states will always put america first just like the leaders of other countries should put their countries first but america first does not mean america alone we expect this to be a speech that focuses very much on trade on encouraging trade with the u.s. on trying to build u.s. business talking up the american economy and the global economy we know that he's going to call out other countries that are not responsible for what he says should be fair and reciprocal trade but we don't think in this speech he is going to name names it'll be interesting because we don't get the yet know what he'll say for

example about the nafta deal with mexico and canada or that he's been very critical of in the past snow specifics in what the white house is given us so far just the general directions of the speech suggesting it might be a general speech it's always very interesting when you get president trump these sort of gatherings what sort of speech are going to get are you going to get something that sticks very firmly to the teleprompter is he going to be reading the words very much from the teleprompter words that have been crafted not only by the president bob by his speech writing team and we know that his chief. we could was a gary coleman has been very involved in the preparation for this speech or will he to use a word that they use a lot here in davos will he perhaps go off pieced for a bit in a very donald trump way the toad i think will be watching very closely indeed if there's one thing that's predictable about donald trump it is how how unpredictable

he is jane see you know at one minute he's talking one way about trade saying that nafta needs to be ripped up and it's horrible and then sometimes if he's all openings that perhaps he still wants and and maybe that's his way of negotiating so perhaps people that are there in the room will be looking for some sort of clues for where he wants to go but sometimes it's difficult to read the tea leaves with him. absolutely and even it's not just nafta which he's talking about renegotiating remember early on in his presidency last year he quitted the trans-pacific partnership deal the deal with twelve countries in asia and in the americas the other countries are not pursuing their deal if they're supposed to sign it in march in chile without the u.s. and yet he's still talking perhaps if they were to change their position a bit he would come back to that so this is a president who i think it's clear also on climate change when he says no pulls out

of something it's not necessarily no forever this is a president who can change his mind certainly the audience here at davos will be looking for concrete information coming from the president i was speaking a little earlier four to one veteran of this gathering is becoming very many times who said what people look for these are very important people who have lots of busy things to do in the world the reason they come to davos is to get concrete information it was suggested to me for example the french president mark roll when he spoke here manual micro he said that france would shut all its coal powered power stations by twenty twenty one that's the sort of concrete detail they like and this individual said to me that they won't want to just hear what he described as mar a lago happy to walk. ok on that note and james if he could to stand by for just a minute we have there's an inker fessor cutter university's center for gulf

studies juan cole is here in the studio with me on set to talk about to talk about donald trump and the speech we're going to ascertain we'll come right back to you in just a moment standing by live in dallas present all thank you very much for joining us so is james was laying out there there are various world gray mess with many countries some of which donald trump wants to be part that he doesn't but. even when he pulls out of these things there are approximately ten eleven current world agreements that everybody else is moving forward with while the us is not can can it be america first as he says if you're not actually participating in these things no of course not trumps the discourse on economics is very confused and self-contradictory on the one hand he's actually a globalist in many ways and fortunately professor pause as you can see right here donald trump has just taken the microphone. for many many years to discuss how we can advance prosperity security and peace i'm here today to represent the

interests of the american people and to affirm america's friendship and partnership in building a better world. like all nations represented at this great for america hopes for a future in which everyone can prosper and every child can grow up free from violence poverty and fear. over the past year we have made extraordinary strides in the u.s. we're lifting up forgotten communities creating exciting new opportunities and helping every american find their path to the american dream the dream of a great a safe home and a better life for their children. after years of stagnation the united states is once again experiencing strong economic growth the stock market is smashing

one record after another and has added more than seven trillion dollars in new wealth since my election consumer confidence business confidence and manufacturing confidence are the highest they have been in many decades since byelection we've created two point four million jobs and that number is going up very very substantially small business optimism is at an all time high new unemployment claims are near the lowest we've seen in almost half a century african-american unemployment has reached the lowest rate ever recorded in the united states and so has unemployment among hispanic americans the world is witnessing the resurgence of a strong and prosperous america. i'm here to deliver

a simple message there has never been a better time to hire to build to invest and to grow in the united states america is open for business and we are competitive once again the american economy is by far the largest in the world and we've just and acted the most significant tax cuts and reforms in american history we've massively cut taxes for the middle class and small businesses to let working families keep more of their hard earned money we lowered our corporate tax rate from thirty five percent all the way down to twenty one percent as a result millions of workers have received tax cut bonuses from their employers in amounts as large as three thousand dollars the tax cut bill is expected to raise

the average americans household income by more than four thousand dollars the world's largest company apple announced it plans to bring two hundred and forty five billion dollars in overseas profits home to america their total investment into the united states economy will be more than three hundred and fifty billion dollars over the next five years now is the perfect time to bring your business your jobs and your investments to the united states this is especially true because we have undertaken the most extensive regulatory reduction ever conceived regulation is stealth taxation. the u.s. like many other countries unelected bureaucrats i mean we have believe me we have them all over the place and they've impose crushing an anti-business and anti

worker regulations on our citizens with no vote no legislative debate and no real accountability in america those days are over i pledged to eliminate two unnecessary regulations for everyone new regulation we have succeeded beyond our highest expectations instead of two for one we have cut twenty two burdensome regulations for every one new rule we offering our businesses and workers so they can thrive and flourish as never before we are creating an environment that attracts capital invites investment and rewards production america is the place to do business so come to america where you can innovate create and build i

believe in america as president of the united states i will always put america first just like the leaders of other countries should put their country first also but america first does not mean america alone when the united states grows so does the world american prosperity has created countless jobs all around the globe and the drive for excellence creativity and innovation in the u.s. has led to important discoveries that help people everywhere live more prosperous and far healthier lives. as the united states pursues domestic reforms to unleash jobs and growth we are also working to reform the international trading system so that it promotes broadly shared prosperity and rewards to those

who play by the rules we cannot have free and open trade if some countries exploit the system at the expense of others we support free trade but it needs to be fair and it needs to be reciprocal because in the end unfair trade undermines a saw the united states will no longer turn a blind eye to one fair economic practices including massive intellectual property theft industrial subsidies and pervasive state led economic planning these and other predatory behaviors are distorting the global markets and harming businesses and workers not just in the u.s. but around the globe just like we expect the leaders of other countries to protect

their interests as president of the united states i will always protect the interests of our country our companies and our workers we will enforce our trade laws and restore integrity to our trading system only by insisting on fair and reciprocal trade can we create a system that works not just for the u.s. but for all nations as i have said the united states is prepared to negotiate mutually beneficial bilateral trade agreements with all countries. this will include the countries in d.p.p. which are very important we have agreements with several of them already we would consider negotiating with the rest either individually or perhaps as a group if it is in the interests of all my

administration is also taking swift action in other ways to restore american confidence and independence we are lifting self-imposed restrictions on energy production to provide affordable power to our citizens and businesses and to promote energy security for our friends all around the world no country should be held hostage to a single provider of energy america is roaring back and now is the time to invest in the future of america we have dramatically cut taxes to make america competitive we are eliminating burdensome regulations at a record pace we are reforming the bureaucracy to make it lean responsive and accountable and we are ensuring our laws are enforced fairly we have the best colleges and universities in the world and we have the best workers

in the world energy is abundant and affordable there has never been a better time to do business in america we're also making historic investments in the american military because we cannot have prosperity without security to make the world safer from rogue regimes terrorism and revision is spouse we are risking our friends and allies to invest in their own defenses and to meet their financial obligations. our common security requires everyone to contribute their fair share my administration is proud to have led historic efforts at the united nations security council and all around the world to unite all civilized nations in our campaign of maximum pressure to denuclearize the korean peninsula

we continue to call on partners to confront iran's support for terrorists and block iran's path to a nuclear weapons who are also working with allies and partners to destroy jihadist terrorist organizations such as isis and very successfully so. the united states is leading a very broad coalition to deny terrorists control of their territory and populations to cut off their funding and to discredit their wicked ideology i am pleased to report that the coalition to defeat isis has retaken almost one hundred percent of the territory once held by these killers in iraq and syria there is still more fighting and work to be done and to consolidate our gains we are committed to ensuring that afghanistan never again becomes a safe haven for terrorists who want to commit mass murder to our civilian

populations i want to thank those nations represented here today that have joined in these crucial efforts you're not just securing your own citizens but saving lives and restoring hope for millions and millions of people. when it comes to terrorism we will do whatever is necessary to protect our nation we will defend our citizens and our borders we are also securing our immigration system is a matter of both national and economic security america is a cutting edge economy but our immigration system is stuck in the past we must replace our current system of extended family chain migration with a merit based system of admissions that selects new arrivals based on their ability

to contribute to our economy to support themselves financially and to strengthen our country in rebuilding america we are also fully committed to developing our workforce we are lifting people from dependence to independence because we know the single best anti-poverty program is a very simple and very beautiful paycheck to be successful that is not enough to invest in our economy we must invest in our people when people are forgotten the world becomes fractured only by hearing and responding to the voices of the forgotten can we create a bright future that is truly shared by all the nation's greatness is more than the sum of its production a nation's greatness is the sum of its citizens the values

pride the love devotion and character of the people who call that nation home. from my first international g. seven summit to the g. twenty to the un general assembly to apec to the world trade organization and today at the world economic forum my administration has not only been present but has driven our message that we are all stronger when free sovereign nations cooperate would shared goals and they cooperate would shared dreams. represented in this room are some of the remarkable citizens from all over the world you are national leaders business titans industry giants and many of the brightest minds in many fields each of you has the power to change hearts transform lives and shape your country's destinies with this power comes an

obligation however a duty of loyalty to the people workers' customers who have made you who you are so together let us resolve to use their power our resources and our voices now just for ourselves but for our people to lift their burdens to raise their hopes and to empower their dreams to protect their families their communities their histories and their futures that's what we're doing in america and the results are totally mistaken it's why new businesses and investment are flooding in it's why our unemployment rate is the lowest it's been in so many decades it's why america's future has never been brighter today i am voting all of you to become part of this incredible future we are building together thank you to our hosts

thank you to the leaders and innovators in the audience but most importantly thank you to all of the hard working men and women who do their duty each and every day making this a better world for everyone together let us send our love and our gratitude to make them because they really make our countries run they make our countries great thank you and god bless you all thank you very much. i. cool. and there you have u.s. president donald trump the first u.s. president since bill clinton two thousand the year two thousand and eight is to address the world economic forum in davos seem to largely stick to script as far as we can tell i guess you could almost call him salesman in chief really trying to

say that the u.s. is open for business our james peyser diplomatic editor james spaces live there in davos listening as well james what were some of the big takeaways to you from what donald trump had to say. well we had sort of been told in advance what to expect on this speech and it was very much talking up what he's achieved in the last year economically in the u.s. talking about reducing bureaucracy talking about the unelected bureaucrats the number that they had in the u.s. how he was now making the bureaucracy reducing it and making america leaner talking about trade and talking about countries that do not play by the rules he said some countries exploit the system and the u.s. will no longer turn a blind eye to that i thought it was interesting that there was mention of the trans-pacific partnership that was one of the things that president trump said was

very bad at the beginning of his presidency year ago one of his first moves was to move to pull out of that twelve nation deal that was being negotiated between countries in asia and on the american continent now he says well we could do deals even perhaps individual deals between those two countries pap's even a deal with them all but of course the other eleven have already moved on or close to having a deal which they expect to sign in march in chile there was some discussion not only about economics there was some discussion about other global issues brief mention of north korea a brief mention of the fight against eisel the first real time we've heard the president talking and talking about how the job is not yet finished i think explaining the strategy we had a week or so ago from the secretary of state rex tillerson explained that u.s. troops are now would be staying in syria president trump touching on that i think

though the main takeaway from this for me was the tone it's rare that i say this but we had a pretty conventional u.s. president's speech here at davos it was not really a typical donald trump speech it was a typical. speech by u.s. president a speech that he wouldn't have written alone a speech that would have had a great deal of work for once he stuck to script. that i would agree it seems that seems that just about any u.s. president could have given that particular speech james and the president is still on the on the podium there are answering questions let's bring back juan cole our visiting professor carter university's center for health studies let's before we talk let's listen to just a tiny tiny clip of what president trump said just a few minutes ago america is the place to do business so come to america where you can innovate create and build i believe in america

as president of the united states i will always put america first just like the leaders of other countries should put their country first also and he also spoke about trade as well let's listen to that. we support free trade but it needs to be fair and it needs to be reciprocal because in the end unfair trade undermines. the united states will no longer turn a blind eye to unfair economic practices including massive intellectual property theft industrial subsidies and pervasive state led economic planning. and now let's bring an apple fessor on call thank you very much so i guess first since mr overall impression of what he acted say then we can take at

a little bit you know well as was said this is a fairly typical american president's speech he stayed on script but there were trumpy and highlights to it the big deal he made out of what he called chain migration his bashing without naming it of china for for state planning i mean it's a state economy right so how would you not have state planning and. then manipulation of statistics so he gave everybody four thousand dollars back in taxes but that's by average you know if you're in a room with a billionaire you're worth half a billion dollars or you go back out of the room you're not anymore and that's the kind of. magic trick that he just played with people in addition a lot of the catches got a note that will let's pause for a moment and listen listen to what the president saying we'll pick this up on the other side when you look at all of the different charts and polls and you see as an

example african-american unemployment at the historic low of this never it's never had a period of time like this same with hispanic women at a seventeen year low it's it's very heartwarming to see but there's a tremendous spirit in the united states i would say it's a spirit like i have never witnessed before i've been here for a while i have never witnessed the spirit that our country has right now so i just want to thank you all and all of those that are pouring billions of dollars into our country or ten dollars into our country we thank you very much thank you mr president i will i will ask you maybe a personal question about before doing so or sounds very interesting or condone it i didn't know about this one i would like to acknowledge the strong we have resonance for your company members yes who tremendously contributed to sit

discussions good i would like to do that that's for now stephen. well there are gary robert. even my general and my various other generals you know we're making our military protection a little bit better for us too so thank you very much does everybody understand. thank you all for being all wired. may be there also no question would be. what experience from your past her fifteen most useful in preparing you for support of the us. well being a businessman has been a great experience for me i've loved it i've always loved business i've always been good at building things and i've always been very successful at making money i'd buys things that would fail that would be failures and i turn them around and try and get them for the right price and then i turn around make them successful and

i've been good at it and that takes a certain ability and you know historically i guess there's never really been a businessman or business person elected president so he's been a general or a politician throughout history it's always been a general you had to be a general but mostly it was politicians you never have a business plan and then in all fairness i was saying to klaus last night i had the opposing party to me one some of whom you backed some of the people in the room instead of being up almost fifty percent to the stock market is up since my election almost fifty percent rather than that i believe the stock market from that level the initial level would have been down close to fifty percent that's where we were heading i really believe that because they were going to put on massive new regulations you couldn't breathe it was choking our country to death and i was able to see that as a business because of the other thing is i've always seem to get for whatever

reason a disproportionate amount of press or media and. flood my whole life. somebody will explain someday why but i've always gotten along. and as a businessman i was always treated really well by the press you know the numbers speak and things happen but i've really had a very good press and it was until i became a politician that i realized how nasty how mean how vicious and how fake the press can be as the cameras start going off in the back. but but overall i mean the bottom line somebody said well they couldn't have been that bad because here we are the president and i think we're doing a really great job with my team i have a team of just tremendous people and i think we're doing a very special job and i really believe it was time that it was time to do that because. answering some questions there on the stage they were economic forum and

just to be clear some of this is still some of the rhetoric that you heard on the campaign trail that is actually not accurate when he says that the cameras go off in the back he said that many of his rallies that's that's not actually how the press covers donald trump he also professor juan cole is joining me here seem to said that he was surprised by all the attention he's gotten but based on a reality show he seems to seek the attention now one thing that he's been driving home one of his points for being here was to talk about the u.s. economy which has been indeed very strong he's not and correct about that but the course correction began a few years ago could you kind of put that in some perspective for us while we were in a recovery that began after the crash of two thousand and eight two thousand and nine the troubling thing is that the u.s. politicians did rule politicians haven't really changed the rules for the investment world in a way that would prevent another such crash so yes we have had a recovery it's been

a weak recovery there's been weak job recovery especially for industrial working class for service. and a lot of the attention has been on the growth of the stock market but only fifty so we do talk a lot about the stock market but is that necessarily a reflection of how the average person is doing though well only fifty percent of the american public has any kind of relationship to the stock market and a lot of that is through pensions and so forth so half the country has not benefited whatsoever from the stock market going up and then if the stock market is going up just from exuberance from. too much money chasing too few goods that's actually a form of inflation and if there's not an increase in productivity it could be bad and of course there could be a crash if evaluations get way ahead of the actual. real

value of the stock he said that you don't think that there's been enough done to prevent a crash likely happen for president trying to spend a significant portion of his speech talking about getting rid of regulations and the people in the room is that what they want to hear yeah sure well the people at davos a lot of them are in the finance world finance has gone from ten percent of the u.s. economy in one nine hundred seventy to twenty percent today which is in my view very dangerous because it's not like they're doing twice as much for us or anything and what they want is less regulation but less regulation leads to embezzlement and you know you bear stearns failed because illegal things were done and we had a former fed chair who said it was difficult for him to believe that bankers would steal from their own bank so regulation is important and a lot of the regulation that trump has gotten rid of is environmental so our water's going to be dirtier people are going to be sick and there's going to be

more pollution our air is going to be dirtier as they have a point though about this leaner always have to mean it. that that work can't get done is there and he may have a point about a bloated bureaucracy if you still have the right goals can you get it done with fewer people with less so there may be unnecessary regulation there may be regulation whose time has passed but environmental regulations are very important for people's public and and financial regulations about investment and. exposure on loans and mortgages we've we saw in two thousand and eight what what the bush arrows deregulation lead to so there could be a crash over these kinds of deregulation so when you talk about davos switzerland and all of the the wealthy people in the world that are and that room why should the average person care about what has been happening in that room and by what they what they have been talking about well they're actually no he's doing well but

they're extremely influential on public policy and one thing that trump agrees with this crowd you know he's he's a double edged sword because he's an economic nationalist and that's not where their heads are out there globalists they want low tariffs they want easy investment reason repatriation of money less less rules about moving things around trump wants to make people stay in the united states wants to keep corporations there but one thing he does have in common with is this kind of neo liberal doctrine that is better to have the market take care of things well if you have an education system that's. taking care of poor people ordinary middle class people and you privatized it what you're really doing is moving the cost of it over onto them and so then we have this massive crisis of middle class youth coming out of college with one hundred fifty thousand dollars in debt well that's that's that

kind of policy marketwise in education for instance which ought to be a public good that kind of thing trump supports and so to the people in davos professor call thank you very much for your insight on this may appreciate it thank you. now president trump is for praising a plan that could give citizenship to undocumented immigrants brought to the u.s. as children but that's only if democrats agree to funding a mexico border wall it would mean one point eight million so-called dreamers would be protected from deportation to the country of their birth the white house says the proposal could attract enough votes to pass through the senate now president trump has dismissed reports that he ordered the firing of special counsel robert muller in june as fake news he's the man leading the investigation into the trump campaign's links with russia the new york times is reporting that the president backed down when a senior white house attorney threatened to resign if mauler was sacked according to the report trump said miller could not be impartial patty kahane

joins us now from washington d.c. to talk more about daca and the proposal that we just laid out so patty tell us more about that. well i can tell you that this is all coming because even republicans in the senate in the house were frustrated with president donald trump he said basically to these bipartisan senators bring me a compromise i will sign it i'll take the heat well his conservative base didn't like the compromise so he rejected the deal and that led to criticism one democrat saying that negotiating with the president was like trying to put a nail through jell-o. that's quite the picture so now the white house has released this one page a line of what they're willing to see i can tell you the democrats will hate this proposal. leader in the house the democrat put out a statement saying this is all part of. the trump administration's attempt to make america white again they hate the idea of a wall they will not give twenty five billion dollars their base does not want to

see twenty five billion dollars be spent on the wall and other means of securing both the southern and northern borders but the bigger issue is going to be he wants to basically get rid of the diversity lottery that has been in place now for a very long time it is meant to ensure diversity so it looks at countries that don't have a lot of immigration to the united states and it sets a limit and anyone in that country can apply for this lottery and if they wish it they come to america he wants to get rid of that and instead use those fifty thousand green card slots to give to families of illegal immigrants who are already in the country that is going to be a nonstarter for democrats but the other thing is conservatives here president donald trump has put himself in quite a box basically his entire campaign from the day he announced and he said that mexico is sending rapists into this country he has run on an anti immigrant campaign a big chunk of his base believed what he said that the reason that their wages

hadn't caught up or that they didn't have jobs because immigrants were taking that is in fact not the case but they believe that they believe that he was going to bring the jobs back get the immigrants out and the conservative base is already railing against this proposal one very prominent conservative web site has now labeled the president amnesty so you can see this is going to be a very tough fight. let's listen now to something that our president said about dakar earlier today i want to solve the darker problem i will consider that a great achievement to solve the dark a problem that's been out there for a long time these are good people these are people that should be able to stay in this country we're going to solve the docu doc a problem but we also want to solve a tremendous problem on the southern border which is crime we need

a wall we need the drugs to stop flowing in they are coming in like well they're coming in less now than they were so patty what happens if they cannot get a deal done. correct the president because of course i think the facts matter. studies have shown repeatedly that the vast majority of illegal drugs coming into america do not come through the southern border they come through american ports that said this is going to be a very controversial issue and they're operating under very tight timeline remember they shut down the government not so long ago i think it was just monday although it seems like it's been a long week that they reopen the government because of this immigration fight and out of that the democrats got a promise from the republican senator that if they couldn't come up with a deal by february eighth he would put a bill on this on the floor where they will hash it out basically making the sausage in front of the american public that's never pretty but he said he will do

that if he goes back on his promise it's possible democrats will try to not fund the government shut it down again although politically that was somewhat damaging they believe for them the last time they did that the bigger question is can they get anything done the president has created this deadline ok so these kids that were brought into the country without documentation as children they were basically protected they could work they had to sign up the president throughout their program and he said by march congress has to fix it so now they have this deadline they have these children that are working in this country going to school they will face deportation starting in march so there is an actual deadline and the question is can they figure something out before the important remember the last two presidents both republican and democrat tried for immigration and failed and the country is much more polarized now in large part because of donald trump's rhetoric on this issue. in washington patty thank you. given his first international interview since taking office more than

a year ago he was questioned by britain's i.t.v. about his retreating if that is last year and november trump share three inflammatory videos from the far right group britain first he was condemned by prime minister theresa may for doing so. morgan asked trying to say he was sorry for the post but he fell short of giving a categorical apology here's the exchange. just for the retreats of well if you're telling me they're going to go along here's what's fair if you're telling me there's a horrible people horrible racist people i would certainly apologize if you'd like me to do that i know nothing about them and we disavow people i don't want to be involved with people are you telling me about these because i know nothing about these people fire in a hospital in south korea has killed at least thirty seven people including patients and nurses in an intensive care unit firefighters in the southern city managed to rescue dozens of others trapped by the flames an investigation is now

underway kathy novak reports from seoul i the fire started in the emergency ward at about seven thirty in the morning it quickly spread to other parts of said john hospital and took firefighters more than an hour to bring under control and another two hours to extinguish. all or should we stop the fire from spreading from the first floor to the second floor during the initial phase and therefore also prevent a difference spreading to the rest of the building. despite the rescue effort patients and medical staff were killed most were suffocated by inhaling toxic fumes about one hundred patients were being treated in the hospital when the blaze broke out about ninety other people in an adjacent nursing unit were safely evacuated president in ordered an investigation into the cause of the fire. that the president moon expresses regret and sadness over the situation of the fire that

broke out a safe hospital which led to a high number of casualties not long after the fire in that fire in the southern city of jackson claimed twenty nine lives just last month at the time prime minister. promised there would never be a repeat now he says he's ashamed to have to say the same thing questions are once again being asked about fire safety in south korea so john hospital doesn't have water sprinklers because if it's a relatively small size the law doesn't require them kathy novak al-jazeera. and haiti around two million people who live in the capital port au prince are appealing for help just to get clean drinking water the devastating earthquake eight years ago wrecked sanitation systems and to prototype some toilets you sense then they're breaking down charlie bell us as a story. this is the only source of drinking water in the delmas neighborhood of port au prince a twenty leagues a bucket of water costs sixteen cents blench yard is one of few haitians who can
