continuing for 159 people still unaccounted for a day after an apartment building collapsed in the u. s. at least 4 people dead, but that number is expected to rise. as rescuers searched through the rubble in miami in florida, it's unclear what caused the 40 year old building to come down, but officials say it was undergoing roof construction and other repairs. i want to be very clear about the numbers. are there very fluid? i will continue to update you as, as we have them. but we have confirmed for deaths. the search and rescue team worked throughout the night. and it was a very active scene from above and below. and we also brought heavy machinery onto the site to assist with the operation. well,

let's go to cut him hot out. who's close to that collapsed building in miami, that heavy machinery of may well have been brought onto the site. but if i understand it's certainly going by the pictures we've been seeing. the actual search for people underneath the rubble is really a painstaking operation with rescuers picking their way through it. just give us an idea of what's happening on the ground there. yes, indeed. i mean, they've been working through the night through the day and you mentioned having machinery. i don't think it was. it was around yesterday as they're starting to remove big, big piles of rubble. and you just, just a short while ago we had a big cloud of dust that was heading our way. and you might be able to see a little bit more of that dust over my shoulder as they continue to clear this rebel. we've also seen footage of 1st respond to the fire and rescue workers in the basement of that building. and you can see that there it's flooding. that's

something that we've heard about from residents yesterday as well. and so you have flooding from the bottom of the basement and then these heavy rains that we've had ever since yesterday. so they're battling water from, from above and from below. and it is a painstaking process, but it is very much the priority now, as officials feel, you know, with 150 or more than 150 people still unaccounted for. they are hopeful that they will be able to find survivors under the rubble. but so far there is no indication that they've had any luck with that. clearly the rescue process is the priority at the moment. but of course that are going to be questions about how something like this could happen. we mentioned before that the officials were saying that it was undergoing roof construction. what are you hearing on the ground about speculation, early speculation about how this could have happened rob, i mean, exactly. we still don't have any clear answers on, on what the exact cause of the collapse was and there have been reports from,

from residence and from, from others. we understand that the building itself was not structurally found that there were cracks in the walls and maintenance work that had been delayed over and over the residents had been complaining about the roof renovation that you mentioned were indeed ongoing. and that's part of the re certification. program for the building that is just over 40 years old now, and that's something that's required here to make sure the building gets up to up to code up to standards and there have the roof repairs were part of that they needed to address that. and then you have another, another building immediately adjacent to the chaplain towers that collapse. and you can see this bigger building behind me. residents have loc complained about heavy construction equipment at that building. and that, that construction and renovation work being done. it could be felt that over the

checkpoint power, they feel their apartments shaking from, from the construction. so we still don't know exactly what the cost is. official seem to think it is some sort of question of structural engineering. but we've also heard reports of this phenomenon called subsidence, which is when the building think deeper into the, into the ground. and apparently this building behind me in the ninety's, we're thinking at a rate of about 2 millimeters per day. and we think that trend has continued over the years. i mean, thanks very much, and you're cutting me close to that building in miami. thank you. united states is going to keep her on 650 of its troops in afghanistan after the rest of its forces are withdrawn. most of the more than 4 or 5 of us soldiers have been leaving. i've got a son and recent months. that's part of a pledge by president joe biden to withdraw tubes by september, the 11th, and an exclusive interview with all just see it as a summer. bon jovi id. tell him on the spokesman as to how shocking says if us

troops do remain. it will be in breach of previous agreements. this us troop station 650 of their stay behind. are the taliban going to attack us troops now? yes or no. if they stay here, then i think it is a kind kind of continuation off the patient and that they have y lated and a we have a fully right to jacked us secretary of state and the blank and acknowledge the tax and afghan forces. what increasing and the washington is assessing your plans for peace are realistic. we're looking very carefully at the situation on the ground in afghanistan. and we're also looking very hard at whether the taliban is at all serious about a peaceful resolution to the conflict. we can you to be engaged on the diplomacy, but actions that would try to take the,

the country by force or of course totally inconsistent with finding a peaceful resolution a judge in the us state. minnesota has rejected a request for a re trial for the former police officer convicted of murdering george floyd. it happened just hours before derick. shaun is due to be sentenced for a crime. prosecutors say shocked the nation. it was found guilty in april of murder and manslaughter, after kneeling on floyd's neck for 9 and a half minutes, he's facing up to 30 years in prison. well, let's take a closer look at the events that led to george floyd's death in minneapolis last year. at around 8 pm local time on may 25th, a shop worker called 911 and reported flight to the police saying he used a fake $20.00 bill to buy a packet of cigarettes. 2 officers arrived about 8 minutes later, and they arrested floyd video appeared to show a struggle between floyd and the police. one of the officers derick,

shaun pressed his knee against floyd's neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. flight said multiple times, he could not breathe. he was taken to hospital, but he was pronounced dead about an hour later. slides, death spark process across the united states and lead to a global i would cry about racism and police brutality. john hansen has more from outside the court in minneapolis. this is a city that, of course, went up in flames after this incident happened in may of 2020 and security. here has been an issue, but you can see that they've taken down the security that we were accustomed to during the trial here where there were fences all around the national guard was here. there doesn't seem to be that kind of concern right now. but the entire city is watching this trial as, as much of the united states, derek children faces a maximum of 40 years in prison. among the things the judge will consider is

whether that offended feels a sense of remorse, whether he's taken responsibility for his actions, and in the trial, he did not do so at all. today. there is the opportunity for victim impact statement. and for derek, showed himself to speak to the judge, but he's in a difficult position because he still faces federal charges as do the other 3 officers involved for violating the civil rights of george floyd. and that means if he incriminate himself here in this statement that that could be used against him in the federal trial. ultimately, all 3 charges, although he was convicted of 2nd degree, murder, 3rd degree, murder and manslaughter. those, the sentences will be served at the same time under minnesota guidelines, which really only the top charge, 2nd degree murder that really matters here. so when the judge hands down that sentence, it might sound a little complicated, but really it is likely that just that 2nd degree, murder sentence is the one that counts and that's the one people are estimating

between 20 and 30 years. but of course, his attorneys are asking for time, served and probation us vice president, common harris is in texas on her 1st visit to the border with mexico since taking office hours is meeting border patrol staff and local leaders. she's eating efforts to address the root causes of migration, and she's been under pressure to visit the border. the u. s. is experienced a rise in a rival of migrants, mostly central america. to say they encountered a $180000.00 people last month. rob reynolds has more from el paso, texas. she's operating on a number of different levels. some are public relations, some are, are political. she spent some time at the border patrol station that you can see behind me here in el paso. while she was there, she spoke to a border patrol agents, staff, higher officials. she also reportedly, according to a staff talk through several young girls from central america. they showed

her some drawings, they made some artwork, and they talked to the vice president about what they wanted to do when they grew up. harris is now making an unscheduled trip to the border itself to the the rio grande, the, the el paso del north de international bridge. one of the busiest crossing points between the united states and mexico, where thousands of people pass back and forth each day. there is a significant political subtext to the choice of el paso, for the harris border visited with here in el paso, in in 2017 that the trump administration 1st begin enforcing its very controversial, highly criticized family separation policy, literally ripping children away from their parents. harris is trying to showcase

the contrast between those harsh 12 era policies and what the biden white house likes to say is it's more humane. approach french presidency. manual macro has warned against an east west divide within the european union and follow the summit in brussels. we're eastern european meters rejected. a franco german proposal to hold talks with the russian president, poland, and baltic countries had voice concern about what they called moscow's aggressions . instead of summit would send the wrong message. we are right now in a negative spiral, and we need to brace for further down term. so we agreed to push back. when russia targets the european union on what we stands for when it violates human rights. to constrain russia when it attempts to undermine our interests. and we will engage russia when it isn't our interest to do so to achieve our goals. for example, if we talk about climate change, or if we talk about public health,

natasha butler has more from paris. while the some, it's actually wrapped up now and it's clear at the end of it, there were some, there was some resolution when it came to russia. that all still divisions in terms of opinion. because going into the summit, the german chancellor and the french president both made it very clear that they believed that there is space to open dialogue with russia on issues of common interest. and they will actually calling for an e rush, some 8 and 5, perhaps by the events of last week in which the u. s. president joe biden met vladimir putin in geneva. however, that really went down bodily with the leader who said that until russia did more and it's human rights record to respect, respected ukraine sovereignty, then there was no faith for the use to be reaching out, rolling out the red carpet for moscow. so what we heard at the end was the head to

the commission, saying that leaders had agreed that perhaps it isn't the right time for something like an e rush summit that that's too soon. nevertheless, the door is not being closed on dialogue in the future on certain issues of common interest, including the wrong nuclear deal, for example, or climate change. still ahead and i'll just 0000000 still going to put food on the table in india as inflation source and rising food and fuel prices. uncontrolled thing over concrete, critics say new pathways had one of the world's ancient tourist attractions are step 2 on ah ah, mary's unsurprisingly halt throughout the raving peninsula of the levant and iran, but it's hotter than it should be. i have to say the edge effects,

the monster might be felt near mom, where things are cooler for everybody else. with light is breezes temperatures in the high 40. well, we're maybe a month early for some. i mean 2 rounds, a case in point to the record for genes about 38. i think we've already beaten that a couple of days ago. we may, will do the same again. come sunday, the average is $32.00. so went above the average. i know there's not a huge spread here, but it's an indication because it's not just in iran. the same is true in iraq, $49.00 in baghdad, or 50 persistently 9 for a few days high than it should be. it's 42 and a he before to do, and doha, as well. now if it's analogous to the edge effects in the monsoon, when it does, it's fairly light women. so the clyde is over the cliffs in land, but it might turn sherry come tuesday. now the same edge effects are true in the whole of africa. there's the wind going up through what is actually fairly high cliffs along the coast of most of somalia. but it's not generating much in the way of class or a few channels bit further north and the see an opium highlands,

family on a fire made of wood and dried cow dung. her mother sony urns just over $3.00 a day when she gets work, the vegetable farms that surround their home. but she says they can't afford to buy gas for cooking, as they bought them with skill already a stand. but the day that it's really hard right now to take care of my family prices are going up lentils, $1.30 kilo who's going to eat that. we don't buy anything to eat and we only eat the vegetables which grow in the fields and don't buy anything else because of the rising prices. the price of essential items has been increasing in india during the past year. cooking oil by 30 percent fruits and vegetables by 12 percent and lentils by 10 percent. and that has had a big impact in the country with average income as the equivalent of about $5.00 a day. one reason for the higher price of food is the cost to transportation, so you don't want to have proofs or not for the poor because their prices are

skyrocketing and even vegetables. people buy hossa kilo instead of one saves a lot while expenses are high. meanwhile, the fuel prices are already broken, the backs of the poor the government has increased fuel prices up to 50 times this year, leading to protests earlier this month. on average and indian spends nearly a 5th of their daily wages on fuel. and the other places re put perplexing to increase from the price of the customer services. what's the point? 3 percent in may, that is above the 6 percent threshold set by the bank of india. economists say the rise of the price of food is more worrying than that of fuel. this can crank off prices going up is going to get much worse, in which case is going to have a devastating effect on the open for particular. and some of them,

archeologists and historians are divided about new concrete pathways for tourists. one of the world's most important monuments, some say they devastate the acropolis in greece. but as john surplus supports from athens, the working to restore what it originally looked like, the acropolis in athens receives thousands of visitors a day. they climb cobblestone puffs built in the 1950s to reach the open space at the top. and here they are now met with a broad pathway that takes them to the temple of athena, known as the puffing on this pathway of port concrete was laid down in the past few months. and it has outraged many seasons visitors who say its breadth and the material it's made of disrespect the site. but those we spoke to liked it, but i thought that well they do have, they was sort of it didn't feel like it wasn't in place, but it didn't fit in. you didn't really notice that as like an ice or anything like

that. the critics suspect the new perfectly aims to further commercialize the site by catering to a big increase in the number of tourists from cruise ships. my knowledge got us is in charge of restoration work at the acropolis. he says he's merely restoring the path to what it used to be in the medallion by nothing down and been during the great part of the night festival, 10000 athenians a day. we're able to enter through this gateway. that's what it was designed for. we simply never restored it to, to inertia when i took over the restoration, marcia, i realize this was something that couldn't go on. it wasn't the number of visitors who had access that concern to me. mainly under the day they deserve to see what was here. rather than some idea restored, 950 s in the concrete park where corresponds to the width of the original entrance to the acropolis for the past 20 years entering and departing visitors have been confined to narrow wooden walkway, which uses only one of 5 ancient doorways but in classical antiquity all fine for

use similar tenuously and the ultimate plan is to restore access through all of them. grooved stones left exposed, serve as clear evidence. this was the original wit. and the concrete is easily removed because it sits on plastic sheeting that protects the bedrock. perhaps, most importantly, the new pathways a part of the plan to enable people with disabilities to access the site. and the new elevator now makes this possible. use numbers from the m as ever. we've been talking about disabled access to the acropolis since the 2004 will mpeg. so now we can say that any disabled person in the world who wants to visit the acropolis can now do so. this broadening of access is still a work in progress. once the gateway is restored, a grand staircase will be 2. it was only half built before a war stopped work 25 centuries ago. only then says the man in charge of the

project will people understand the acropolis as it was designed by its original architect. jobs are open to us, al jazeera athens. ah, this is all just there are. these are the top stories, 159 people are still unaccounted for a day after the partial collapse of a 12 story apartment building in the u. s. state of florida. now these 4 people died in the collapse, but it's expected. the toll will rise. united states will keep her on 650 of its troops in afghanistan after the rest of its forces are withdrawn in an exclusive interview with all diseases. are some of the things i've read about in spokesman as to how shocking said, if us troops do remain it will be in breach of previous agreements.
