buried under the rubble and that search for survivors had to be cooled off because of the heavy rain. and it is i as you were saying and they're express a subsidiary of a major airline so it's a low cost carrier what do we know about their safety record. one of the guys here there we know that they their safety record they don't have any issues with their safety record and as you said you know just 90 minutes since the flight skidded on the runway a little north of thought that there was very heavy rain as i was saying it all day and catalog and so it's thought that. the plane was skidded off the runway but the mood was most likely because of the weather conditions so on and limited visibility well we're will be bringing you more on that as we get

a elizabeth her on that in their car spun out thank you so much for the latest ed. now moving on and lebanon's president has raised the possibility of external interference and tuesday's poor blast in beirut michel aoun addressed the nation just a short time ago vowing an investigation into whether the blast was caused by negligence an accident or even a rocket or bomb but the government is facing widespread anger amid accusations of mismanagement and corruption $157.00 people have been confirmed dead and then it's math reports from beirut. armies of volunteers are on the streets of beirut. sweeping clearing digging. they're filling the gap left by the state. which is conspicuous by its absence. we had an i.t. company here times were tough before tuesday's explosion now she says she can't see any future here. i am in. those those 1st.

i see i'm 30. and both come pick me up from 25 years. i work here i out 5 this is the 1st time i. i see something like that. lebanon's president michelle own says an investigation into the explosion will look at whether it was caused by negligence or external interference through a rocket or bomb or other act whatever it was in beirut they want to know why 2700 tons of ammonium nitrate was stored in an urban area. when the ammonium nitrate ignited the shock wave instantly crossed the city leaving beirut looking like a place but after just 5 seconds of support from the years of conflict. frustration

and anger boiled over on thursday night and there were some small protests near lebanon's parliament. but most people here have been focused on cleaning up for now the government says reconstruction costs will run to at least $15000000000.00 this is a country that was already on its knees because of a deep economic crisis and a currency that has lost 80 percent of its value in less than a year we don't have a government to look after and pino are doing believe either we donate food oaklawn own blood even our apartment. we're trying to see people if they need help within our street that's the least we can do the government is in capital and capable of helping us so we the people are coming here to do to help our comrades and levanon and we're coming from the north all of us were like 78 people were coming from 90 kilometers north north of beirut and we're here just to stand by the people the

blast has left at least 300000 people homeless many will rely on relatives or friends to take them in more than 150 people have been killed and there are many missing foreign search teams are leading the delicate task of trying to find survivors under the rubble. more than 5000 people have been injured. 19 people have been arrested in the investigation into the warehouse explosion including the beirut port manager but for many in this city the finger of blame is pointed at the very top of government. bernard smith al-jazeera beirut. now let's take a listen to just one president michel aoun had to say. this accident is a wake up call as i said it could be an act of negligence we have another possibility it could be a rocket attack or a bomb attack i personally requested from the french president if they were in possession of any aerial footage to kindly provide us with it in order to identify

any aerial attack or missile attack. well let's not get more from santa ana who's in beirut as we've been saying so much anger over the last few days directed at the government lots of people who feel abandoned betrayed how much confidence do they have in this investigation. little face in the government they believe that the very fact that the committee that was appointed to investigate the disaster is made up of heads of security agencies as well as politicians like the minister minister of defense and interior shows you that they're just not serious these are the people who should be questioned by the judiciary and the lebanese people do not face in the judiciary which they believe is a politicized just look behind me that's what is left of beirut ports people have many many questions how did this highly explosive material enter the country who was stored it in a warehouse for 6 years who is responsible so people have

a little face while the authorities are trying to try to convince the public that they're taking this investigation seriously and that they're promising it's going to be transparent we heard the president say that they're not leaving out any possibility this could be an accident this could be a result of negligence has even the suggesting that this could be a rocket or some sort of bomb attack it's not clear if the authorities have any information that indicates that this was a bomb attack what people want is an international investigation they want independent international observers involved in trying to figure out what caused this blast but the message from those in. in power and the last message coming from the head of hezbollah hezbollah is a lebanese armed group which along with its allies controls government and parliament is that international intervention in this investigation is not on the table. i would like to emphasize that hezbollah categorically

refutes and rejects that we have materials seaport not a single bullet weapon ammunition or a bomb nothing at all belongs to hezbollah even the materials the ammonium nitrate that does not belong to hezbollah and. i believe that there is a consensus amongst all lebanese that a complete comprehensive transparent and fair investigation must take place and those responsible will be firmly justly and swiftly penalized. it's now been 3 days pretty much since the blast and just looking at the devastation around you how are search and rescue operations going now. international rescue workers have joined the operation because lebanese rescue teams really do not have the necessary equipment to be able to dig through this this is the devastation

today they pulled out 4 bodies from underneath the rubble and as time passes really hopes that to find survivors become less and less likely families gather outside the port waiting for news for their loved ones this really has been has been a devastating a few days for the family members and those who are trying to clean up the debris on the ground try to find a place to stay to sleep they're also worried about their future because their livelihoods have been destroyed taxi drivers have lost their vehicles people have lost their shops and there is a this is a cash strapped there's a cash strapped government a state close to bankruptcy they're unable to help the people international assistance have started to arrive but they're going to be providing the immediate needs food or water but what happens next reconstruction is in the billions of dollars something this country doesn't have and the message from the international community is billions of dollars that you need you're not getting it unless you

fight corruption and you carry out necessary reforms in the state. on the streets of beirut for us with all the latest thank you very much sanjay. well still ahead here on al-jazeera the u.s. is accused of political manipulation after donald trump balance business with the chinese are an absolute tech talk and a way chapped. and rishis battles a huge oil spill off the ship runs aground greenpeace warns of devastating consequences. for. hallow the mighty river hand in south korea and seoul is actually lapping the streets of the capital and there's more rain to come because the seasonal rains have reached this far north so for central some parts of northern china

being rolled out by the treasury department this is part of an executive order that was signed by the u.s. president last month so even though he is out of town the treasury in implementing this now it is being rolled out what this means is that carrie last the chief executive along with the others who have been named in these latest sanctions by the united states against chinese officials is that their assets here in the united states will essentially be frozen now the treasury secretary steve miller chin in announcing this released a statement saying that this is being done because the united states stands with the people of hong kong that will use all tools and authority to target those who he believes and the united states believes are undermining hong kong's autonomy and kimberly relations between beijing and washington haven't exactly been rosy and this is just the latest in a long list of actions what's the administration's strategy in. well the

administration strategy clearly in advance of the u.s. election is to blame china for the economy that's been devastated as a result of kopechne to be fair the us president has targeted china since the beginning with regard to the trade relationship but things had started to improve ben copeman $1000.00 hit millions of americans are out of work so it is clear that as a reelection strategy blaming china for those job losses a big part of it so we've seen a whole host of actions as recently as yesterday we saw even more the administration putting in place executive orders a broad sweeping restrictions on to social media networks we chat as well as tick tock and also an executive order mandating that the u.s. government now buy drugs from american companies why this has an impact on china is that previously so much of that had come from china and the u.s. secretary of state saying in his statement today that it is clear that hong kong will never enjoy the high degree of autonomy that beijing promised as

a result the administration taking hinted of action committee how can that for us at the white house thank you very much candy. well as kimberly alluded to there is also a tension between the u.s. and china over the ban of some popular chinese social media abse beijing as appears in washington abusing national security as an excuse to suppress foreign firms on thursday president donald trump issued an executive order to block talk and we chat in 45 days a trainee reports from beijing. some. job news videos have 1400000 followers on video sharing. the chinese version of talks. the 25 year old uses the app every day and isn't surprised it's become so popular in the us all to the washer we're very proud of anything that originated in china is not just a video sharing platform it's an example of chinese in january. she's alarmed by

donald trump's executive order to bad tick tocks use there unless the app is sold to an american company. i'm not sure how the company would develop if the owner changes i believe every company has this also if you replace that saw something the coral will be lost. the u.s. government says it's cracking down on chinese apps which it says spread propaganda and pose a security risk to americans beijing says the move is a pretext for suppressing chinese tech companies move on you when it's over the relevant u.s. approach has no factual basis at all it's clearly malicious smearing on a political many people the point of it all is to maintain the ovaries high tech industry. doesn't tick tocks parent company is in talks to sell the app to microsoft washington has given it 45 days to confirm the sale tick-tock deny sharing data with the communist party and is threatening legal action against the

us government it isn't the only chinese in the firing line messenger app we chat which has 1100000000 users brook. lied is also facing a ban the banning of wheat at is likely to cause problems for chinese users and businesses dealing with china from the us here the platform is more than just social media it's used to buy products invest in shares book travel and even check a person's covert 19 health status washington is expanding its so-called clean network initiative which aims to root out major chinese tech products from the u.s. system analysts say the move is part of donald trump's tough on china campaign ahead of the u.s. election in november for the master chinese people especially those who have very fond memories of the u.s. this came as a surprise and many people are pissed off because it just seems that chinese people are chinese companies are in a way i don't think is

a good sign because we have seen the anti china sentiment going on around the world the chinese government is urging the u.s. to back the move or face retaliation trumps executive order deep in the digital divide between china and the u.s. adding to diplomatic tensions and a growing list of disagreements over geopolitics and trade katrina. unemployment is still above 10 percent in the united states the government has just released its figures for july showing that it dropped from 11 point one percent injuring to 10.2 percent but that still means that millions of people are without jobs because of the coronavirus pandemic and a stalemate in congress is holding up benefits republicans and democrats are still at odds over a new emergency package after federal payments to keep people afloat expires john hendren reports from chicago. for more than 30000000 unemployed americans warm

man does has more from the sri lankan capital. we're waiting to hear sort of details of how the rajapaksa want to take this forward north to the 20th of august is when the new parliament has been convened by a gasket signed by the president they will come together but we also heard that as early as next week we will have the prime minister my him that rajapaksa and his cabinet to be sworn in awaiting confirmation but talk of limiting the cabinet to 26 so obviously the rajapakse is not wasting any time in terms of carrying on with the work program that they had targeted for them serves they did ask for a mandate a strong sort of a support of 2 thirds which now with all of their own votes and their allies they have in parliament to pass through any changes now the key thing that they had said was that the amended constitution does not allow them to carry forward their

program but now there is that confidence with this result of the election in fact president gore tabi rajapaksa responding to the results as they came through yesterday said he's confident that he can build a strong parliament to take forward he's a vis stars of prosperity that he's kind of mandate and program that he put forward for his presidential bid and that this government is taking forward well pi can start his sort of animal to is the executive director of the think tank the center for policy alternatives he says the opposition has weakened divided and there are big challenges ahead. i think what both are sparks is sort of the jury was reaching out that he would require a strong stable government in comparison to the government that are before him the sort of governance which the prime minister and the president to it's part is very weak and vacillating and knocked on the right it so strong stable government also

the assertion of the identity of the majority community so it's also a strong signal of the biggest scar with a strong sense of you know centralized leadership authoritarianism barracks and emphasis on law and order and on decision out of the key if we can to continue them every day to speak and i think things will start there is there after because in addition to without a key challenge i think all president and the government is going to be the nominee in terms of dealing with the consequence of this article 'd with bank inquiries you know we see that her house should something right eunice started his full 1000000000 a year from now until 202020 we have our foreign exchange ermine's very bad because of course by the virus be by going to be able to do with ease the apparently industry and hospitality. so that residents
