6th floor of the factory. i lost communication with him after 5 pm. i wanted to switched off. oh, god helped me. i got a really good example. we came here because my niece was not answering her phone for a while and now the phone is not ringing. the toll worries. well, some people were rescued from the roof. several others were injured when they jumped from the 2nd and 3rd floor to escape. the situation is very critical. the roads, 2 sides of the building, our vehicles can access the other 2 sites. there's also no way for the vehicles to move on and it's very risky to go higher and now we can go higher due to the immense factory, 5, a common and bangladesh where many of the businesses operate illegally and without safety measure, big waste and brand, which employ tens of thousands of low paid workers there had come under heavy

pressure to improve condition authority did impose tougher safety rules. after more than 1100 people died in a garment factory collapse, and decor and 2013 just months earlier, a 112 workers had lost their lives when they were trapped in a burning factory on the outskirts of the city. an investigation's been launched into how this latest fire started. grieving family members demanding answers and justice elect. here brian al jazeera french president mannion. my call is hosting leaders from hale nations in a virtual summit to make planned for security in the region after france withdraws . most of its troops, the g 5 countries. molly char, booking at foster care, and martina struggling to control armed fighting, has forced nearly 2000000 people from their homes. speak to nicholas. hark, correspondent, in synagogues, capital the ca, nick, france, of course, amount,

a major draw, donovan operations in the last month. what is the objective of this virtual meeting today? well for you, the main objective of this virtual meeting is try to reassure both the countries involved in the fight against arm groups in the region, the g 5 to help you know that the soldiers for chad and jerry, molly burkina, faso and mauritania are involved in joint operations with the french, but also to reassure international partners, while it's main menu about co is holding currently a press conference to explain this draw down, it was clear that the french troops are not leaving the continent. in fact, fully as you know, they've been on the continent for over a 100 years and currently still have bases in for most of the french former colonies. so while still be a drop down of troops inside the bar, con operation frowns, it will still continue to support other operations such as the to cooper operation,

which is led by european special forces that will continue to fight our groups in the region. in this press conference menu co spelled out what the threat or who the threat was. he says to groups, isolate affiliate the stomach state in the greater sahara and kite, affiliate july, last not least, well, mostly mean, and we've seen in the last few months, really, these 2 groups, expanding attacks not only in the region, but also in coastal areas, been in an ivory coast have seen attacks along those borders. so for the french end for the g 5 countries, it's important for them to reassure the population that soldiers and boots on the ground will still be there to maintain the security of that area. but of course, boots on the ground, the load will not bring peace to the region with some government from the region, including the government, out of co, wanting to negotiate with our group and do reminders the context was behind this

growing instability in the what 2000000 people display 7000 people killed in the last year alone in a, in a region that the size of europe, where you have the biggest, the most expensive, and also the deadliest un operation. 14000 troops on the ground in multi 5000 french troops across the hell. as well as this g 5, coalition group. all trying to fight these 2 arm groups and make no mistake at the isolate affiliate has it's in it's in its media, has explain its intention. they want to re base an africa. they see it as a fertile ground, to relaunch its operations. here after after losses, but they suffered in the middle east, they see it here because they see that we, governments and security forces means that they can step in and ensure and control

some areas in the absence of the state. there's also the factor of the historical narrative that previous the, to the colonial times they were, it's law make countries in the region. so they're pointing on these, they're using, there was existing grievances, the absence of the state, the historical narrative. and also this sentiment that, that you're having across many former french colonies is anti french sentiments of their writing and all these 3 issues to try to play themself on the ground. but emmanuel mccaul and the g 5 se, they'll continue their fight against these are groups. thank you for that next. last class for us there in the car synagogue. egypt tends to don, have urged the un security council to act against the controversial mega damn that the fuel is building on the nile river. they say the ground, the fuel renaissance dam limit their access to fresh water. but if he says the un

shouldn't be involved in this dispute. diplomatic editor james space report from the united nations outside un headquarters, e c o, p, and protest has gathered. they didn't want this meeting to take place to demonstrate that point. unlike egypt and sudan, ethiopia didn't send its foreign ministers to this meeting. instead, it was represented by its water and irrigation minister. of the con, union is seized of the matter. and is emily facilitating our negotiation? that is why it is regrettable that she steadily countries of the to bring the matter to the security company. it was sudan and egypt that had demanded this meeting, saying the fact that a peer is, again filling the damn amounts to a threat to international peace and security. does not an overstatement to affirm that for egypt the girl is an existential threat. this is

a situation that egypt cannot and will not tolerate. later i pressed the foreign minister on what action his country was prepared to take. so all their circumstances where you would consider military action. the matter of egypt, the protection of the rights of a citizen is inherent and is a matter that necessarily any responsible government would apply itself to clearly growing tension between 3 countries. 2 of them with a population of more than 100000000 people and another with a population of more than 40000000 is very concerning. but the security council is unlikely to take any direct action. diplomats tell me they hope this meeting will force the 3 countries back into african union, lead mediation james base. ouch is era at the united nations and algebra here. as catherine saw, he has reaction from ethiopia,

capital i december 1 we know previous talk mediated by the african union, our build. but if you government has been, has had the position that this is an african problem, this is in africa. i'm not an african. and it has the solutions have to come from africa. so really asking the downstream country to be commit to the process, to, to, to commit, to talk a lead by the african union. the 2 countries, if you to done and you did how also how to position that if you appeal shoot, stop. this 2nd ongoing feeling of the dumb and teal a binding agreement is reached. so we spoke to back to the movie about that, and it doesn't seem that if you're going to have that position at all, because the basset has said that it's not a new unilateral decision. the only responsibility that you'll be hawes is to inform the other countries of what's going on. and it did indeed inform those 2

countries of the feeling of the down, which he says is going to continue to be. and this is a project that to many, many europeans are passionate about. more than 65000000 of them are not committed to the not connected to the grid. and we talked, we talked to some of them in the last few days. and they really a saying the eagerly waiting for the completion of the dumb and the benefits that are going to come out of it. lebanon's interior minister has rejected a request by the lead investigator in the bay router or explosion. probe to question a top security official. it comes almost a year after more than $200.00, were killed when explosive material that's needed and cause the devastating blast in a harder reports and a lot. it's been nearly a year since they close and they will course, and there's still been no accountability. 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate was stored in a warehouse along side label material. and that was believed to have triggered the black, who was responsible for unsafely, soaring this material. well,

the judge leading the case has come up with a list of suspects who he wants to question. they may face criminal charges, criminal negligence, but so far he has not been able to question them. as these are politicians, members of the security establishment, including the caretaker prime minister, has a number of m. p. 's who were former ministers at the time when the ammonium nitrate was sort of support, as well as 2 of 11 on top security agencies that has of these 2 security agencies. but the judge is facing political backlash and it's not the 1st time politicians have been trying to send. and the weight of the judiciary of the previous judge was removed from his toes following a court order. he was accused of overstepping his, his authorities. now, in a country like lebanon, where there has been a culture of impunity, a few really believe the truth will ever be known, and that justice will be served more than 200 people were killed. thousands were

injured. hundreds of thousands were made homeless and still the investigation has been slow. it's still not known. what caused the fire that believe to have triggered the blast. and it's still not known about the origins of the shipment. who brought that shipment in the country. and there's also questions on whether or not 2750 pounds were in fact inside the warehouse when the explosion happened. so more many questions on answered the judge trying to initiate the process of prosecuting suspect. but politicians sounding in the way the bustle against accountability has so far been stronger than the battle for justice. now be continuing tension between iran and the u. s. is being felt in iraq with attacks encounter attacks iranian backed on whoops, have intensified operations against us military and diplomatic facilities. august air has gained access to one military base in the province in west and the rock

from them. moved up to 100 iraqi forces in anal asset base are on high alert. on wednesday, a missile attack injury to people, the base houses iraqi army units along site coalition forces, including us personnel. we traveled with iraqi army to about that the district about 14 kilometers away. this is were missiles that have targeted the bays during the past few months were fired from we found a missile launcher that had excluded leaving several houses, damages, including mosque, hums. amazon was among a number of civilians injured in the last august. bishop object to shall be otherwise shall buck on it. i was looking from the window when the explosion started shrapner the head. why is this happening in our area? we are not part of the conflict. iraq's the joint operations command, which protect the base is investigating how you, how you started them. but the terrorists have been using various ways theresa base

. this time missiles were hidden under flour sacks, where now collecting evidence identified to perpetrators security sources say the missile launcher was blown off by the ammunition it was carrying the detonation brought on by scorching summer temperatures. but local, still a different story. i guess hurdle her. why do me sales came from the base direction one of the messiah took the other to the garden near by after the u. s. a strike on the city of iraq border. 2 weeks ago. iranian back to groups declared open war against the u. s. forces still in iraq. washington says iraq, the government wants the u. s. to provide military training for its troops and help in the fight against isolate iran. but this continuing conflict between iran and the u. s. goes further in direct talks aimed at solving the 2015 nuclear deal

abandoned by the previous u. s. administration under donald trump. again under threat, and that malt helping iraq danial asset base has been under most well drawn and rocket attacks. since the killing of iranian commander, some slay many in the u. s. a. to strike in january last year. a bomb either hondas and iraqi commander of the popular mobilization forces was also killed. violence between us forces and iranian affiliated with groups is likely to continue. as long as the nuclear issue remains unresolved without through a utah number province, western iraq, still ahead on the news. our lightning fast reactions held this faithful pitcher avoided julia century with coming up. so i

use the use with me.
