wind and solar is it that's going to solve the problem of flow to bring the moon in documentaries. a month after the beirut explosion and rescue crews dig and listen for hints of life under a collapsed building. well again i'm come all santa maria here in doha with the world news from al jazeera. time and again we have seen the position additional critics of the russian regime attacked nato pressures russia to cooperate with an international investigation into the alleged poisoning of the kremlin critic alexina valmy also fire burns for a 2nd day on board

a super tanker carrying 2000000 barrels of oil off the coast of sri lanka. hours after they stormed the city in democratic republic of congo and surrounded a prison dozens of armed fighters thanks for. starting in lebanon where in about an hour's time there will be a moment of silence marking the exact moment a huge blast tore through part of beirut a month ago a sad day for so many but still there is this one small glimmer of hope for the past day teams have been digging through the rubble of a collapsed building after they're scanning a clip and picked up indications of breathing. what we have seen so far is unfortunately no trace of any big team of body we have been conducting to scans into the front room holding the scanner on the poor we just need

a 4 'd inch fence and commit the horse so we did that so far we can see nothing. but we are going to conduct again i'm sure another scan thing he's done we work in phase the call the nation is quite cheap him together with the military. 11 is going to tell me we have a very good team everybody's working hand in hand. checking in with a note in our correspondent near the search site in beirut a little bit of activity going on what's happening is on. well a short while ago rescue teams conducted yet another sensor test to try to see whether or not they're able to detect a sign of life underneath that rubble it's been more than 24 hours since that search operation began in the past hour there is little optimism really the

chances of finding someone alive fading but people here the rescue team say they will continue they will continue digging even if the chances of finding a survivor are are slim now yesterday what they detected was 18 breaths per minute this morning what they detected was 7 breaths per minute a short while ago what we are understanding from rescue volunteers here is that they were not able to detect anything now they don't know is it because there was interference in the signal or not as they are now using dogs in as part of this search operation so as you can imagine many people here are just waiting for any news to know exactly if somebody is under alive underneath that rubble or whether or not you know there are 2 people who are dead because that was what was initially

believed that there was one dead body and one possible survivor quite extraordinary stuff is an insane and happening one month. to the day since the blast happened speaking to a guest in the last program we were discussing about the fact that this was obviously a life changing event for the people of beirut but in some senses and i guess i'm talking the political sense here things haven't necessarily changed. no not much has changed yes it changed the lives of many people in beirut the state has largely been absent in the rescue efforts the relief efforts the rebuilding efforts there is a new prime minister because the previous government resigned under pressure from the street but the new prime minister many people believe he's just a product of the old system the political class that has been governing this country for decades people are furious they are saying why hasn't this collapsed building been searched it's been a month some people here have told us that they did speak in this policy officials

to tell them that there was a bad smell of in this area and nobody did anything about that what they believe is that the next government is not going to be any different from the previous government in fact they blame the explosions on the negligence on the corruption decades of corruption and mismanagement by the ruling ruling elites really who disregard human life i mean since this search operation began and it gave the lebanese people some hope there hasn't been an official who visited this site no statement from from the officials so you can just that match and the anger and the frustration. that people are going through it is especially after such a massive explosion that the story many many areas of this capital i mean this street was one of the worst hit neighborhoods as a result of that of that blast thank you for those updates and a hood is in beirut as we say a month since the beirut lost and a search still going on behind me on to other news now you calling on russia to

cooperate with an international investigation into what happened to the kremlin critical lexan of only doctors in germany when of on these being treated so he was poisoned with the soviet era agent but russia's government says it has no evidence of any crime still nato chief stoltenberg says it was an appalling assassination attempt by moscow. time and again we have seen the position you do and critics of the russian regime attacked and the last 30 and some have even been killed so this is not just an attack on an individual but one from a mental democratic rights and it is a serious breach national law which demands and international response we wish mr not only a full and speedy recovery move with an example story one of each got one who is in moscow with reaction. head of the upper house of the russian

parliament committee for international affairs says that it is too early to involve the organization for prohibiting of chemical weapons since he said 1st experts have to establish that the chemical weapon was used on the violin the this goes in the line of what we heard before from a much higher up in in moscow and that is that most call the did not receive any evidence that the charcoal was the thing that poisoned the and they themselves are sold here the russian doctors didn't find any proxies in his body another one said that it is not a place of young stoltenberg or nato to be asking these questions to russia and that they should take care of their internal affairs and this doesn't even deserve an answer from from moscow but one thing is sure that though there is no love lost between nato and russia this statement alone will further strain the relations

between these 2. and they also says greece and turkey have started talks to avoid a conflict over energy resources in the eastern mediterranean that is despite a denial from greece which says it will only start talks once turkish ships leave the disputed areas these 2 countries locked for weeks in a tense standoff over offshore energy resources they disagree over their maritime boundaries well turkey's foreign minister may have a soul use accusing greece of lying over the nato initiative to defuse the standoff have a listen. you're going to get it the nato secretary general asked for greece's views and greece gave the go ahead and after he got the go ahead the nato secretary general made an announcement we were not surprised but unfortunately grace refuted the nato secretary general but it is not the nato secretary general who is lying it is greece itself which is lying. one crew member has died in an engine room explosion on board an oil tanker that's on fire off the coast of sri lanka $22.00

other crew members were rescued from the new diamond the panama registered tanker which has been on fire for 2 days now the sri lankan navy and indian coast guard ships are trying to help put up the fire and elfin and as has more now from colombia. the vessel itself is on man and all the crew have been evacuated the surviving crew there is no power because of the fire so it is drifting basically in international waters it seemed that it was moving slightly towards the sri lankan course something that the sri lankan authorities are very conscious of this is off the eastern coast of sri lanka now obviously more than $2000000.00 barrels of crude oil. massive environmental disaster waiting to happen we just heard at the official press conference by the navy the marine environment protection agency about what is being done so far now obviously the sea they're

keeping close tabs a working with the indian course to bring the flame under control to cool the surrounding sort of parts of the ship to prevent the spread of those flames into the cargo area but obviously there is no guarantee that this can happen now the navy very confident that the indicators are that they might be able to contain it within that sort of bridge area and the engine room area but obviously the coming hours are crucial this president on trump is denied making disparaging remarks about u.s. war veterans during the 1st world war some 10 or ceremony magazine says the president described fallen u.s. soldiers as loses. named bush senior defense department official reportedly confirmed those comments and the trunk refused to visit a veteran's cemetery in france because it was raining. it would. make it.

look. like. they really. can be how could so white house correspondent i don't know if you can actually say that can be but that sort of picture of donald trump standing on the tom lights at night no lights very much impromptu kind of shows just how much he wants to push back on this one. yeah absolutely that rebuttal was 7 minutes long and he was furious at the release of this article but just to look historically at donald trump's comments well the president says that no one has done more for the military that he has and he denies calling any service member a loser we do know that in the past he has called the decorated and revered war hero john mccain who died in the last couple of years was a vietnam veteran

a prisoner of war well respected u.s. senator he tweeted that dot that in fact john mccain was a loser at one point in the also is rumored to have said that he didn't want to attend a loser's funeral when in fact john mccain died now we also know that he donald trump broke with precedent on the issue of having the staff or the flag lowered to half staff when john mccain died that he did it for just 2 days and usually the press in the united states is that you would keep that lowered and till burial so donald trump says he did not make these comments but historically we have seen donald trump make comments disparaging military members in the past we should also point out when it comes to military service perhaps the president isn't fully comprehend the sacrifice that many will make on behalf of their country given the fact that the president himself has received. multiple deferments when he was of

the age that he could serve in the military ultimately it was for a medical condition yet when asked about that medical condition many years later he was kind of big on which foot his bone spurs were in in other words he was given this deferment for medical purposes but kind of had a fog gander standing of the elements that he says prevented him from serving his country whether he said it or not kimberly and he's always going to deny it i think we know that much the fact that veterans are being involved. 2 months out from an election this is crucial isn't it because that veteran vote is important. absolutely and we seeing candidates making plays for the military vote with every campaign cycle this is no exception the big difference between 2016 and now is that donald trump according to polls conducted by the military has lost support as its commander in chief the head of the u.s. military 2016 the u.s.

president lead his rival hillary clinton by 20 percentage points now in 2020 we see him trailing his rival joe biden by 6 percentage points this is a problem for a president trying to win reelection particularly in battleground states like north carolina where a lot of veterans and bases are located that's what we saw the president heading there this past week to dedicate wilmington north carolina as a heritage city there's a battleship there he needs that battleground state so this story is a real problem for a president trying to win reelection with the help of veterans and service members can be how could i want house correspondent thank you for that and. plenty more news still ahead including this. here is sitting here at home and you. are nearing danger. we'll hear from the survivors of last month's explosion in beirut sharing their stories of shattered lives in
