home for the 5 columbus radius have been evacuated. as far if i struggle to been far under control, air quality in the area is described as toxic. we're trying to look to the engine, but the flames are quite high. so it takes quite an effort to look the people rescue is also spreading out because we've got calls for people who have injuries from the explosion from an extended area, one or 2 streets away. from here, the reports of falling debris and injuries from debris impacts on people's heads. well let's get more and i from tony chang. he joins as from bank coke via skype. tony was more to be know about this situation. have they managed to bring it under control this or they still haven't, and it's being raging now to more than 12 as they continue to fly helicopters in from, from the nearby international airport, which is draw far

a ton of liquid on it. they have now got back into the area for, for a few hours around mid day local time. they lost control. they were very concerned about a reserve of about $20000.00 leases and chemicals which to me highly flammable. as much of the chemicals in the factory appear to be, they were real concerned amongst the firefighters that that could explode, and the to ross, to the place at post them back out. they have now go back in again, but that it's still not under control. and there's still a huge plume of smoke rising from this area, which is just a few kilometers away from the international level. they say they hope to have it on the control soon. but i think one of the problems has been they don't know exactly what they're dealing with. we've seen video footage of them inside this fire other in the day in areas they thought they had on the control. and suddenly the flames returned again to push them back. so it's clearly

a serious challenge and they haven't yet defeated a very serious incident. indeed, it's very early days. of course, tony. but is there any indication that the far faces know who they're dealing with or what potentially caused this explosion? you going to be one of the big questions? i think that the problem is, is you can see that going in again from what we can see from video post on social media. they don't appear to be particularly well equipped for these kinds of chemical fires. in addition to which we don't know much about this factor, the mean, the chemical faction, other than that it was producing packing materials. but this is a highly industrialized area. it's on the edge of bangkok, it's close to the port where there's a lot of industry. we've also seen fractures in this area with very bad records, the storing pollutants illegally very bad regulations, i think will be real concerned about that. also, the fact that this had such

a big impact on the residential area. but this video, again pushed on social media of people sitting on watching television when suddenly that whole room in clothes, one resident said the ground shook like an earthquake after the explosion went off . i think the fact that such explosive chemicals were being stored clearly unsafely close to a large residential area and thousands of people to be moved out of this area. now i don't know when they're going to get back in again because it was, was huge plains of toxic smoke and things were going to be a lot of questions when eventually the find those get back to control. ok. tony chang, they're reporting ly phone, bangkok, tone a friend. i thank you. and searches under way to find the flight recorders from a philippines military transport plane that crashed, killing 47 soldiers on boards and other 3 people were killed on the grounds. when the c 130 over shot the runway while trying to land on joel island in the province

this morning in law and, you know, based on the initial investigation, they said that, you know, it seems that, you know, the, the plane actually landed well within the protocols that were required. they also said it's unlikely that it's going to be pilot error, but they said they are determined to find out what's actually transpired. now because of this situation, they said they used to have 4130, the philippine military. they are grounding that one that remains in the philippines as being used and to remain under repair. in, in portugal, we were also told that, you know, they're doing the very best they can to inform those families. and some of those bodies have been identified that they're going to give them the best possible honors befitting those who have died in the line of duty. lindsey moore has on this new site including hope for the chancellor and sheila is work begins to rewrite the constitution on the rain may have east for the search, for any survivors of japan's not slight continued sports. walter

getting view heights, his effort to weigh limpid gold medals. ah, if you private us, there is defending the decision to fight rebels and in those and t gray region, he's didn't answer questions and parliament. and this guy to guy and force is, is a danger. so the rest of the country on sunday t guys regional government said it was ready for receive far. but with key conditions. no, they include the full withdraw the foreign troops for the un to investigate what it says. war crimes committed in t grey. here's 5 prime minister, are the modes describe the situation with to grow and forces. with the good to go to his plan, they prepared an army that they didn't stop there. they started encroaching on the

rest of a t o p and started to destabilize the entire nation in all sorts of ways. this is quite dangerous, and at the end of the day, it would endanger the existence of the nation. it's considered as a threat. what life had catherine saw, he joins us from just catherine, a very different version of events that the prime minister's been a painting of what's been happening in t right. what he essentially been telling the fuel p and parliament. yes, he was answering questions by from members of parliament and one m p. race concerned about the humanitarian situation in guy. he res. fears about the possibility he said over to grand forces, taking the fight beyond to gran bullet, as he also offs about the future relationship between the federal government and the last leadership. now the prime minister did not specifically address the

questions, but he did because length and with more detail about why the military went into the guy in the 1st place. he said that the grand leadership had an expansion nice agenda and was using money cipher from the federal government to recruit and train young men militias, essentially not just from the gray, but from other parts of the country to destabilize the entire country places the government could not let that happen and the situation, but even west, when to grand forces, he says i tap this military base in north and t grey. he said that the government tried to send mediators ahead of this thought of the conflict in ali, november. they sent out their leaders, leaders, but those efforts towards what futile because the leadership would not hear, none of it. so he said that he's government has done the best it could, and there was a lot of accusations his levels against the ground forces saying that they are the

ones who are committing atrocities against the people of guy saying that this is not being well documented. this is not being well reported. we also know that that t last leadership that to grant forces while have accused the government and they were trans, horses of committing human rights abuses and war crimes into grades. so he said that it is, in fact the other way around. so it's going to be interesting to see how he's going to respond. he did not do that in parliament, but how he's going to respond to conditions that have been given by the to grand leadership. a ceasefire, including that, the government must recognize the t p left that the grand leadership as a legitimately elected regional government of the guy. very difficult to see how the government to accept that because it has already labeled about leadership and it says a terrorist organization. and what exactly is parliament's role here?

i mean, address the prime minister assets going to his strategy with the tpl. i've come with me whether he chooses to share it with parliament or not. but i came civil is he to parliament especially given that a large chunk of the country was a table to votes. and these recent elections, i'm a physician is probably minister of the med facing within the, the field parliament. well an idea was the parliamentarians should hold the prime minister in his administration to account they are their representative the people. but it's important to note that this is an outgoing parliament. we are still waiting for official results from the reason she concluded, parliamentary elections, prime minister for the party party, very much on the lead. we don't expect that to change, but a lot of people have accused this current parliament of being weak. they are all

lies of the prime minister. they belong to the ruling coalition. they ask some questions and say they do not hold the prime minister and he's administration enough to account and even from the questions to do, they asked more economic development. it is a good thing, but a lot of people expect to hear more questions. what tough questions on what's going on? and i honestly spoken to also say they don't expect any major changes in the common parliament because most of them will be from the fire to party, the major opposition party boy quoted as the selection. so analysts really saying that what we expect going forward is more position from outside parliament. ok, catherine. sorry. there live for from some of our catherine. thank you. after numerous delays, politicians in israel are expected to vote on a controversial temporary law. it prevents palestinians in the west bank from

settling permanently with their spaces for mistrial or occupied east jerusalem. another flow is created in 2003 during the 2nd intifada and requires annual renewal . hurry for such reports manage archery lives, a divided life dominated by the architecture and bureaucracy of occupation when he was born just outside jerusalem's eastern limits. so his id papers are those of the palestinian from the west bank, but he lives in occupied east jerusalem with his daughter and wife, both of whom have jerusalem. i d's mohammad has to apply for a special military permit every 12 months, just to live in his own home. and it because of likely to at any moment them i tell you that we have to leave you a note welcome. his wife cannot, he could only wish for the chance of permanent secure status and more we would have

more freedom. he could work easily, movies in the travel and live daily life more easily. and when you don't have anything and you're afraid over time, get across. ok, party, seriously. thousands of families have been put in this position by a temporary law that has to be renewed every 12 months. the question for them is whether the political shift inside israel could ease that burden on them. israel's new right wing prime minister natalie bennett, leads a government that contains left wing and palestinian israeli parties who is set against voting to extend the law. this is a trap for him because it, it's not a law which is on the books. it's emergency action that was taken in 2003 at the height of the 2nd intifada, when there was real proof that people who had use the family unification actually were engaged in terrorist activities against israel. that's not the case to the now the new position leader benjamin netanyahu is also threatening to vote against it.

to deal in early defeat, to the government will appear on the job. if they don't want to give citizenship 215000 palestinians, they have to abstain. we never had right wing national parties voting against this law. the campaign is against the law such comments reinforced of you, that it's about demography not security. you'll hear that the law is necessary for security and to maintain israel as a jewish democratic state. so that should be suspicious to everyone. you know, when you are hearing these 2 justifications, you have to call into question, is it essential only for security reason mom, even if the law is prevented from lapsing containers, hope it may be amended perhaps exempting at least elderly couples. but that would still leave mohammed living a restricted life. no israeli health cover? no driving license, no real peace of mind. even at home,

harris was it i'll just 0 occupied east jerusalem. let's take a closer look at the details of the law. inhabitants of the outside where frank and the gaza strip are ineligible for automatic israeli citizenship even if they are married to it is really citizen, a critic for the loss and discrimination, and disproportionately affects palestinian israelis. they're far more likely to have spaces from the west bank and the gaza strip than other israeli citizens was in favor of the law. said kate fis, real. as a majority, jewish states will get more on the snow from akiva elder. he's a political analyst and author, insurances, by skype, from tel aviv it israel, thank you for joining us on the user. i guess my 1st question is, why know, given the recent tensions within israel itself, after the attacks on garza and the inter camino violence that we saw within israel?

why is this bill being brought before parliament's at this time has to be renewed. all completely dropped the government. this government is not likely to be dropping together. certainly they believe in miss rock, we're seeing this procedure. and now because we all, because one time in the government doesn't know because they believe wives love, which means he's leverage to live in ramallah was in love with a woman living just they lived together to

raise the family an issue few months ago, marriage mission was they were, am i am, can government a story. all right. you know, he's coming by because he's also really knows government by john. we know then the most, i mean he's about to break it when they want to embarrass the government against all that they really don't gender equation to be

human right. also is ready to miss the call was severe. think this will actually pass the can asset them because it sounds like the government's fragile though it may be, is divided on this law. you've got the hard nationalist right, and arrows part these all together in this one government. given the tricky situation, the government itself isn't. is there a chance this could possibly can acid also mentioned we have for the 1st time in our lives, in collision just because that comes from beverage. and she is why she believes during to be already she will give to those people because even if

the law is not bad, request means occasional family ring will do some work and they will get all the flow they can get together. ok. i'll have to leave it there and for shall be great to get your thoughts. thank you so much. that's a kiva l dar political analysts. they're joining us from tele v. thank you. now 11 days after an apartment building and florida partially collapse, what was left of the structure has now been demolished. the fancy just joined what remains of the south side surf site apartments. the miami for both for were just the region. braces for

tropical storm alpha, which is expected to reach the florida coast on tuesday. authority say the family will help search and rescue efforts. 24 people have been confirmed dad's and 121 are still missing. cut him had. he has more from miami beach in florida. they spent the greater part of sunday drilling holes into the bottom of the building where they would then put these explosive charges and brought the building down with a process known as energetic leveling. but right now we do have crews on seen on the side of the of the demolition, just to make sure that everything is fine, that all the, all the explosions that were supposed to go off and did in fact go off. and they are due to resumed their search and rescue operation as soon as possible. we have to remember that last year, during the 4th of july, miami was in the grips of the cove at pandemic. we were basically the epicenter for the us at the time. and there were no real firework display to speak of the mood

was subdued as well. so you had a lot of people prior to this collapse, obviously who had been eagerly looking forward to just let loose. and that's exactly what they were doing about an hour away from where i am in fort fort lauderdale. but that was obviously not the case today. people here are concerned and they're upset. they're sad. there's a lot to be sad about. and there has been a review across the county of miami dade, for all buildings that are older than 40 years old, to make sure that there are no issues there with the structure of the building and anything else that might lead to some kind of a problem. similar to what we saw in surfside the last week and what just finished the coming down the number of people missing or, and accounted for astra landslide and japan has risen to more than ac breski cruise in atomic are taking advantage of a break in the rain 2 days after the disaster, japanese prime minister says the focus is still on finding people who live 1500

emergency workers and soldiers are there for the salami. has this update and took you. i visited the occasion yesterday that you would be surprised by the use the station that has been caused by that under like 150 houses where totally destroyed, i think, got smashed into a very thin they years of metal. and they were thrown literally on the beach that's about took it from the starting point of that slide is the height of the mob was over 3 meters in some location. and i spoke to some one of the local isn't there. although they were very much struck by the accident, they were also angry because they didn't receive warning for evacuation before the before the results that happened. and now there is also confusion about the number

of the people dropped under the under the other till yesterday we had and that number was 20. and today the mayor of 50 announced that they had been trying to contact 215 people who thought that if they had, they were able to get the hold off 155. so they are still trying to contact or know the weight about stuff about the peoples of the city itself is the resort city. so some people would have houses, there are sick and out so they would go there on the invitation. and that is not that happened on the saturday morning. so very difficult to say exactly the number of the missing now or the people under the variable former south african president, jacob zimmer, has compared south african judges to apartheid era, rulers should defined a deadline to surrender to police. he was sentenced to 15 months in prison for failing to appear at

a corruption inquiry. earlier the 79 year old join supporters outside his home and show solidarity. soon as appealing against the sense and effect of that. i was lum busted with a punitive jail sentence. without trial is something which should in induce a sense of shock to all those who cherish freedom and the rule of law. south africa is fast. slight in bag too. but the type room for me to miller has more from showing tone in south africa. former south african president, jacob's duma remains defiant. he used the press conference on sunday to criticize the processes that brought him to the position that he's been now following

a ruling by the constitutional court that found him guilty of contempt of court and sentenced him to 15 months in prison. the former president is gone as far as saying that, so that's which is at risk of sliding back to the days of a party saying that he was sentenced without trial. and that the commission of inquiry where he was meant to have testified. but boy courted is biased against him . now the former president was supposed to hand himself over to police by sunday following that judgment. and if not, could possibly face arrest in the days to come. but he is going to the high court to try and stop that arrest before returning to the constitutional court, where he will plead for either lisa sentence or for the judgement that found him guilty to be rescinded. it's a difficult position for both the form of president and the court. is they all

questions around whether or not the high court, where the former president will seek some sorts of interest to stop his arrest if the court has jurisdiction in that. the constitutional court that issued the judgement is the highest court in the land and can't be appealed. we're expect to have more clarity on what happens next. once the former president appears in court, or at least his legal representatives do that on tuesday. as to whether or not police will arrest him in the days to come, if that application is not successful. tropical storm elsa is making its way towards florida does made landfall in eastern cuba. it brought strong winds of nearly 95 kilometers and our heavy rainfall forecast is wanting a flash, flooding and mud flights. the storm has already battered several caribbean islands, killing at least 3 people. still ahead on al jazeera, the move out clinic,

hiring its own vaccine, freezer and why fi delivering health care to remote communities in some way, i will tell you what i suggest phase or saturday, the 3 decades of amazon and ceo and in sports. but for the japanese player making more baseball history ah hello there, we're seeing lots of heat, but also lots of unsettled weather across europe over the next few days, particularly in the east and in the west. we've got a weather system working its way across the north west, and that's bringing some really wet and windy weather to the british shells and northern areas of france. is it going to to say that will work its way all the way across to denmark? so we've seen some heavy showers and storms, switzerland like to see some thunder re downpours and we've got fund the storms

expected in the north of cities. but most sensually things are looking fine and dry of the temperatures are picking up in poland in austria. and if we look at the 3 day for vienna, we're going to be well above average. by the time we get into thursday with plenty of sunshine on the way. and the heat is continuing to build in scandinavia. we've had a heat wave warning across finland as well as estonia, latvia and lithuania and western areas of russia. that heat does continue to build . it's down in the south, around the black sea that we are seeing another swirling weather system, dumping rain on ukraine. and if we take a look closely at the east mediterranean, we think some of the weather weather approaching northern areas of turkey. but we have got a wind warning over grease and cypress, where we've had those forest fires continue the can.
