al jazeera where ever you. fear of diseases the death toll rises the authorities say scores of people may still lie buried and unaccounted for. it'll be here in doha you're watching al-jazeera also ahead this hour as an end in sight to iraq's months of political uncertainty there's finally a pick for prime minister. hoping to convince her passing she's got plans writes the u.k. prime minister to resign may prepares for a crucial conference speech. easy prey for political promises how poverty in brazil

is impacting potential voters before sunday's election. indonesia is asking for body bags as teams find more dead and try to prevent the spread of disease on the island of so we see more than four days after the earthquake and tsunami aid supplies are starting to trickle out around the island but scores of uncounted people are likely to still be buried underneath collapsed buildings will be live with wayne hay appollo airport in a moment but first see his latest report. there is an exodus taking place from central sulawesi thousands are leaving their quake and tsunami ravaged communities boarding military planes from palu all with traumatic memories oh. it was so crazy i wasn't conscious for a long time because the ceiling fell on me. the airport was severely damaged in the

quake and inoperable for a time but the military has taken over allowing the indonesian air force to come and go aboard one plane was the president who made his second visit to the disaster areas this time his first stop was just outside the cracks terminal building where hospital ward has been set up with the sick and injured wait to be a lifted just tell us what the priority is and it's in the recovery and of course to us that is if i wake up at that they have they shown an. action. among the patients. who gave birth three days before the quake she and her family lost their home and walked for four days to get help now they have no choice but to leave. everybody was running from the houses when the quake happened my home is completely destroyed and we had to sleep on the street. for now the remains of the airport offer some comfort that one chapter of their

ordeal is drawing to a close for those who choose to stay help is gradually arriving at least to the airport as well as getting people out of here the military planes have been bringing in a number but getting it from the airport to the communities the people that need it most seems to be a slow process. much sits at the airport awaiting distribution but for an increasing number of people the wait for a place on a flight to safety is over as they leave they perhaps contemplate an even longer wait before they'll be able to return home. well the indonesian military has taken over control of part of city airport when he is there for us the way in which your reading of how will organize this is so far. well i can tell you the city airport has turned into a command center really the military very much in control here and it is turned

into a very busy place indeed just seconds before you cross to us actually many people came running from behind us because we have a fairly sizable aftershock it's also been set up as a bit of a a hospital ward as well where injured people are being brought to sit here to lie here and wait for their opportunity to board one of the many military planes that are coming here to take them to nearby cities it seems to be on the face of it that the aid is finally starting to arrive here that we're seeing more planes coming the aid is being offloaded but it doesn't seem to be a lot especially now that we're into late on wednesday local time the disaster happened on friday so we're well into this search and rescue and recovery operation and yet there are still many places where we're being told by the government it's still haven't received any assistance whatsoever including in the town that we've talked a lot about very close to the epicenter of the quake to the north of and insignias

well which is immediately to the cell many areas in those two districts have not seen any assistance whatsoever so there is still clearly a lot to be done here is the key question here when going forward how they collate the information because there does seem to be something of a disconnect between the aid operation as your witnessing it where you are and also getting the aid operation into those areas where we still don't know if they've got clear lines of communication. that's right we're told that they have been able to communicate with most of the affected areas but barely is. the government is saying that they are as i say able to get access to those areas some have not received any aid whatsoever but you're right we talk about international assistance for example the government confirming a few days ago that it had accepted offers from eighteen countries to send assistance to help in this search and rescue operation to send aid and things like

that we've been here since very early on wednesday morning at the airport we haven't seen a single foreign plane land at this airport only as a say many indonesian air force planes so despite the fact that that has been promised has been accepted by the indonesian government it hasn't been coming here to the airport at all on wednesday so we're not really sure where where that is going certainly a lot of local government people coming here this is been a crowd particularly over the last few hours of government officials locally and from the national government in jakarta coming here not sure exactly what they're doing practically on the ground one of those people of course is the president who at the moment is making his second visit to the affected areas is there an absence or is there a sense where you are that there's an absence of the kind of kits the kind of teams that we usually see around this time before into day five after a tsunami and earthquake we're not seeing the international teams of rescue people working with sniffer dogs we're not seeing those big branded aircraft flying in

we're not seeing helicopters doing drops of food and water to those people who got nothing left. exactly right again we have not seen a single foreign plane lands at this airport the main entry into at the moment throughout the course of wednesday and that's over the course of many many hours just the indonesian air force coming here in the last hour or so we finally saw the first foreign search and rescue group arrive on a civilian commercial plane from the city of my which is to the south of where we are so they are now on the ground saying that they're going to go into city to search in one of the collapsed hotels there for any people that may still be alive in that rubble so where all this international assistance is we simply don't know we can only assume that it is still coming heavy equipment is

another thing that has been sorely lacking on the ground here and the indonesian president joko widodo while he's been here in the last few hours has said that they have now all the heavy equipment that they think they may need on the ground in the area generally but they're not sure whether it can still get to some of the areas that really really need some of this heavy equipment to start digging through this rubble to get to anyone who may be alive after so many days or indeed to search for more bodies buried beneath the rubble ok when many thanks. well andrew thomas is in central part of the where the teams are digging through the rubble of many collapsed buildings. these digging machines are on top of what was one of the most densely populated parts of palu what happened here is what's known as liquefaction and without going into the science of it's in earthquakes the pressure on the ground grows to such an extent that the soil essentially turns into liquid and everything gets tossed up slide down you see that building up there well that was

at ground level where i am now it's a good school me despite me because perhaps above my head because likewise smashed up everything that was above ground it's gone below ground everything below has come on top hence all the mud and of course among those things above ground where people lots of people they've only managed to see a two hundred square meter part of this area and already they found nineteen bodies two bodies while we've been here alone this area is square kilometers in size so they fear that there are dozens if not hundreds of others buried beneath this mud there's no great sense of urgency here no one is expecting to find anybody a lawyer unfortunately you do though get that pungent smell of decomposing bodies but definitely there now this was one of the most devastated parts of palu but there are similar scenes being repeated right across the city at the same time the

recovery efforts all definitely getting underway we've seen people at the top of electricity poles repairing them water and food is getting through but not yet in the quantities people need a lot of people have left this city where the boy or by road through traffic jams that snake across the mountains and along the coast roads many many people getting out those who remain scared both of luce's to some extent but also the earthquakes the vast majority of people at night sleeping outside whether in tents or simply in the open air. iraq finally has a new plan on a new prime minister after months of political wrangling before minister. has been asked to form the next government the country's been in political deadlock since disputed elections in may motto is live for us in the iraqi capital baghdad mohammed what does this say about the state of politics in the country now. or if it is us divided us but the appointment of the former finance minister for

more oil minister and vice president in and out is a big task for the politics and politicians in this country and whether they are willing to move beyond these sectarian and ethnic based politics to a more. accommodating. politics i do not know what is considered an independent and he haas cutted days to form a government but we he will have to win the confidence of the blocks in parliament including the. lead blocks of prime minister about the current prime minister has supporters of more than said that on one hundred also all iranian backed groups including former prime minister nouri al maliki who bore five say they have the right to form the next government he will have to win the confidence of this otherwise in thirty days if he can't do

that and win confidence for his government the president will have to operate someone else to do the same is the time coming looking at the bigger picture for a second because the way that they appoint the president and the prime minister that goes back to the immediate aftermath of the two thousand and three invasion of iraq is the time now coming when they have to pick that because does that process or the adherence to that process slow everything down and see if there is the slightest wrangling within m.p.'s or within different groups of m.p.'s the whole thing just doesn't happen then they end up in deadlock. well greta if you ask about ms they will tell you it is the nature of politics and the current politicians more than the process that has caused the delays their deep sit that political divisions within the political actors but again this process that they have been using of selecting the president and then the prime minister was formulated at the time when

one man one vote could not take part place in the country there's been. and then all the other security challenges in their country now is when they're moving forward after the defeat of i sell to a place where it out is come talk about having one man one vote in the country but they want to see whether the point of these new prime minister who doesn't come from any of the major blocs in parliament and whether he is going to be embraced by these people will be something that shows the way forward and whether it out can now move forward to a place where they can have a better democratic climate thanks very much. a new set of questions for donald trump this time about his tax affairs new york state is to investigate tax fraud allegations after reports in the new york times now it says he helped his parents of void paying tax which helps in rich's own fortune by more than four hundred million u.s.

course with bricks it in two hours time then she'll deliver her closing speech to the concert. at a party conference her former foreign secretary boris johnson has already laid down a challenge urging the government to chuck the bricks and plan paul brennan as the story. of a queue outside a whole number one began forming more than two hours early some have doubts about boris johnson's political future others see him as a potential prime minister. there's no doubt he can draw a crowd like no other in the current conservative party and it was his defiant rejection of the prime minister's checkers plan for brics it which most excited his loyal audience think what we could do if we had proper free trade deals and that is why it is so sad and so desperately wrong that we are preparing to agree terms with brussels that would make it much more difficult if not impossible to do such deals. and that's why it was such a mistake of us two is such

a mistake of us to lead the to leave on the the checkers terms locked in the truck to beam the illness johnson is the rock star of this thing this friendship bends attracting the audience is very steady that is appearance here i don't mind just how divisive occurred to me just how deep the struggle for practice within this party choose days flagship policy statements on immigration and visa reform a total eclipse by bosses appearance and his totec status among bricks its supporters continuously undermines the prime minister with a crucial e.u. summit just a couple of weeks away yes he's obviously and there is some undermining of the pm but i think barry says absolutely pushing for what we need and i think at the moment the conservative party team needs somebody with a little bit more tests now that's a really pushing forward some of the key issues and i think boris is actually the

person today that he raises some very good points he's heart's in the right place he's trying to challenge what's being done there always are doing it some of us agree with him so it was down to very very most people actually think that what has become the of the annual boa show the iran issue a day he makes a funny speech and then goes again we trailed along with it by the world's media actually is a bit of a distraction one of boris johnson's aides predicted he would hit this conference like a ninja but this was more smash and grab and stealth attack paul brennan al-jazeera burning and. the level of poverty in parts of brazil has left some potential voters in the elections on sunday easy prey for politicians looking to buy votes extreme poverty and unemployment rates are rising and not being able to read and rights is a biggest you to the see in human reports not in the states of i'll go wash. sixty

five year old mother. can't read or write or even sign her name but what she does know is how to work. i started working in tobacco fields when i was nine my father had died and my mother couldn't make ends meet. the story is repeated in the nearby sugar fields generation after generation men work under the merciless sun of northeastern state. i started when i was stand i'm forty four now i couldn't find any better job my father did decide we never went to school but my son does. i hope he will be able to get a better job because this is no way to live. in northeastern brazil is heavily populated which makes it a magnet for politicians seeking election help in this slum there's no sewerage running water or other basic services sixty percent of the people here are not

living in poverty their needs are so great and their pockets so empty that they are easy prey during election time for politicians they can come here and buy their votes for as little as ten dollars. wilton via that is a catholic deacon who works in the slum appropriately named after the virgin of the poor seventy percent of residents are illiterate. of course if i'm a politician and i give culture an education to people i'm impairing them and if i'm impairing them they may not vote for me so that's why it's in their interest to keep things as they are because then they can just keep coming back here at election time with empty promises that people grasp onto in the northeast as in the rest of brazil blacks and mixed race are the most disenfranchised. it's a vicious circle of inequality aggravated by a severe recession and government will step. that's left thirteen million

brazilians unemployed and even more living in extreme poverty with this economist says a chronic structural problem is to blame them. medium and long term development goals for our country investing infrastructure held education and job creation that requires political coordination that always eludes us no matter who is in government. and even if the next government can start the recovery process those living here at the bottom of the social ladder will be the last to benefit. to see a new an al-jazeera brazil an italian man who will come refugees has been placed under house arrest for aiding illegal immigration the many. small town of fifteen hundred people has taken in five hundred refugees prosecutors accuse him of arranging marriages to migrants to stay in italy a ship's captain who rescues refugees in the mediterranean has had his trial and multiple sperm and close pizza russia ship it's called the m.v.

richest man in the world worth one hundred sixty five billion dollars breaking that down he makes about two hundred seventy five million dollars each and every day and amazon is hugely profitable in the second quarter of this year it had a profit of two point five billion dollars so we can afford the raises i was low unemployment it might have to pay more to get enough workers to move their merchandise still the raise is being praised by amazon's toughest critics what mr bezos today has done is not only enormously important for amazon's hundreds of thousands of employees it could well be and i think it will be a shot heard around the world not. every economist things paying workers more will actually help decrease income inequality on the one hand yes workers in amazon will benefit from this this increase in basic pay but in the longer term amazon is

exactly the type of company which we don't match and would invest in automation i would be much more difficult for other companies traditional retailers to match this kind of offer america can often seem like two different countries divided between the haves and have nots economists will be watching to see if amazon's move does anything to heal the divide petticoating al-jazeera washington. we should all be here and these are the headlines from al-jazeera indonesia is appealing for body bags as more than the island of so the way sea aid supplies are starting to trickle out more than four days after the quake and tsunami mishal death toll now stands at more than fourteen hundred soldiers have been placed at petrol stations and supermarkets to stop any looting. shia politician he has been appointed prime minister in iraq he was chosen by the newly elected president of
