catastrophe. nearly 3 weeks after torrential rains, called flooding and north way must finally and rhineland, the latin aid, the clean up as well on the way survivors say this is not because of government help, but solely thanks to the volunteers. just showing this is an indescribably strong feeling that people from all nationalities came and helped that every hand helped even when it maybe was not exactly the right help at that moment. what matters as they help and otherwise we would never have managed to do this. church leaders hope tolerance towards refugees and migrants will increase. i'm not ok, but here are people who experience pe because of their religion or that color. and i think that's a good sign in. but knowing that this doesn't matter at the moment, having experienced hardship themselves, the syrian refugees feel they can offer the right help. some i've been working for 2 straight weeks, leaving their families and jobs behind is get and will you on throughout. there are

1000000 syrians in germany, and we are one with the german population in good and bad time. they plan to stay after other volunteer have long gone, hoping to rebuild these historic towns and making friends for life steadfast and algebra era, but noisy and germany ah, lisa hill, robin, dev hall, reminder of all top stories and his health ministry says the current of ours pandemic there is still raging, and it's far from over. on tuesday cases rose by more than 42000 that say 40 percent increase on the previous day. almost half of all of those new infections are in the state of carola. bobby metal has more from the capital deli the numbers have been under control. if you see the picture, pan india, the positivity rate is chill under 5 percent. that is a benchmark set by the was,

has organisation saying that about 5 percent is when you're supposed to be really worried. but there are some worrying trends. you know carol law is one stage where unlike the other states in india, where you saw a steep rise in a peak of cases during the 2nd wave, carla has had a plot to that plateau has to continued, which is why more than half the cases that india recorded overnight have been coming from kara last, and the buckets on the government says it's given 1000000 vaccine days in a single day. for the 1st time. it follows the ban on the unvaccinated people and government offices and public places. the delta variance has been blamed for a surgeon cases. the taliban is warning of more tax again, top afghan government officials. the group is famous sponsibility for tuesdays car bomb attack. the home of the defense minister and saw fighters in turkey have brought around 160 blades under control since last week, but at least 16 remain

a threat. and 6 provinces, 8 people have died, and 16000 people are evacuated to stay with us. is that something was going to change? anything really changed? this is the demick violin that needs to be addressed at its core. we are in a race against the barrier. know what to say. so we are all saying we're looking at the world as it is right now, not the world. we like it to be. the devil is always going to be in the details. the bottom line, when i was just there on the high semi okay. it has been 12 months since an explosion of a root port change. eliza, thousands of people in lebanon. 6 o 8 p. m. august. for 2020. there's been a large explosion in lebanon's capital bay roof. within

seconds. so much is destroyed. babies port is in the heart of the capital along a busy highway and close to densely populated neighborhood without warning. what is the largest non nuclear blast in history kills more than 200 people, injures thousands and leaves hundreds of thousands homeless. today on the street bay roof search for answers, we are joined by say, you know what, the correspondent that you her just that plus to guess he will forever be connected to the bay report last moray, antonio, welcome to the student. thanks for joining us. ray. were you introduced yourself? can tell everybody your connection to the bay route, blast pace,

and i'm my name is cody, i'm the mother of and yes, you 15 years old young man was angelic smile. who lost his life because of explosion. i was all, i'm also a survivor of explosion and my daughter was also badly injured and she turned them in some surgeries and also i lost my house. total destruction. right. thank you so much for being on the stream today. we really appreciate your sharing such painful memories and such intimate parts of your life. antonio, antonio, you introduce yourself to stream audience and, and your connection to the bay route explosion. hi, friend me. yes, i'm a 10 year movie. i'm the founder and executive director of the collection worldwide . and we're fighting and supporting more than a 1000,

a victims from the baby to explosion in that quest for justice. thanks for being on shows about antonia morales saying that you made a film which is basically half an hour asking questions while i was making the film so important that there is an investigation happening in beirut. yes, but got investigation has not provided any answers throughout the year. we have been speaking with journalists to survivors to the families of the victims and they want answers. they want some sense of closure, they can, their loved ones will never come back to them. but at least they deserve to know who was responsible for this. one of the biggest crimes in lebanon's history, if not in the world's history and authorities, and the judge, the judge has not even began formal questioning. in fact, have been investigative journalists to have been, i'm covering,

i don't want to use the word truth, but at least presenting a connection, maybe not conclusions, but connections, enough information enough evidence enough fact that warrant a proper investigation. but this is lebanon. this is a country where, which has a very dark and turbulent pass political assassinations, bombings. yet none of them have been investigated. none of the, none of them we saw arrest, none of them. there was no, not even a trial. and yet you have this blast, which affected everybody in the lebanese capital, and many people in lebanon, say, if there is no conclusion to this, if the, if justice is not served, and if there is no accountability, then you can say that lebanon will never, ever be a state i see you not in the right. can you give us a sense of what the past 12 months have been like for you and your family? how much support if you've been given, have you been able to say ok this, this, what happened to my family?

what happened to hundreds of other people and i was, is it possible we were injured? this should be investigated. we need accountability. can you tell me concrete things that are happen that you can share with us right now? thank you. thank you. actually what alina has just mentioned, i was mentioning it was the last 12 months. i was always saying that this blast goes unpunished then, then it would be a new home. then there would be no hope that you would ever have a state and the meaning in the, in the meaning of states. and it's been for the for the last year, i mean we had the 1st judge and then when he called for investigation, some high level officials they just changed him for,

for no valid reason for no really logical reason. and then he was replaced by judge guitar. another judge, judge baton is doing his best. he's an honest person. but i mean, his didn't know he wasn't able to have the proper interest. negation of the persons who were involved or of the high official, high level officials were involved. i suspect they are covered by immunities. and as the deputies are not accepting to initiate immunities and they continuous to try to, to find, i don't know you ways to trick. i'm in the, to take the notes so that they don't not. i mean,

the same unit just for these high level officials to come forth for investigation and we are certain of the investigation step. what will happen later? what will happen when it anyway, when we ever pass beyond this investigation step and suppose we did, if you are optimistic and we did, when we reach, i mean, conviction will ever achieve accountability. will justice ever be served? and i want to ration of course you're not alone and asking that question, will justice ever be stuff? this is ellie ellie is a survivor from the bay roof glass. this is what he told us earlier. i am the father of his line

at work. afraid my father died and the next year or when the chance to do and being to justice antonia if the legal assistant 11 and even able to handle an investigation of this important. what is going wrong? yes, thank you about question. i mean, we can look at decades of un reports that have stated that the justice system is

corrupt. floored in her political interference. in fact, even pick i back, the civil war 975-219-9991. honestly nor was issued, which means that was only one individual that was prosecuted from that 15 year civil war. moving forward, the system has little changed or improved. where do we stand now? one year on we had to alex and saying this bit about this. if you will, was got 30 people individuals, low level individuals, many from the court has been arrested and detained. 35 individuals charged, but no persecutions moving forward. and do we think that will take place? it's extremely unlikely. it strengthens up on history. when that allegations against the state will state individuals that there will be placement in the justice system and the justice will not be served. so at this stage,

we have various who have interesting that we saw a statement from president iron last week talking about lifting the immunities. we heard that moray talking about that because they want to interview for menaces on catch a prime minister. but at this point, munity is not been left, and that must be so again, to see investigation. as dana was trying to investigate some of the key questions that we want to know about the group last, she piece together, what journalists were finding, what she was finding an in her report is a compliance lawyer have a listen. have a look. assurace sophie dean is a lawyer who specializes in export compliance. he has analyzed scores of documents and explains why he believes the shipment was not legal from the start. these laws,

as all of the nitrate ammonium, they need a lot of administer of process before thinking of importing them. there's a process by law that should be done before entering them. and what's included in this process is the responsibility of the army, the lebanese army. it's included in this process, so when they entered, they did not get the approval of the army. they just, you know, a just took a decision and unloaded the product inside lebanon. dana, this is really messed up right, highly combustible material. i stashed away warehouse number 12. i believe there were fireworks in the port. i mean it's just a disaster waiting to happen. what else did you find out that was pretty critical for us to know. well, 1st of all, they do not know. we know that there was a fire,

there was a fire, the warehouse 12 videos that extend emerged to show you this tells you part of the story, but what caused the fire? no answer. was it an accident because repair work was being done at warehouse 12 just a few hours before the explosion? was it intentional? were some people trying to hide the truth, trying to hide a possible test or trying to hide some evidence? because what is, what is really concerning is that the ammonium nitrate was there for how many or 67 years and suddenly so much attention on the ammonium nitrate the past few months before the blast with the state security issuing a report. the judge ordering repair work was somebody worried that they're going to uncover something. so was there an intentional fire to try to hide evidence or was there a rock is attacked like some officials alleged, but that theory has since been discounted because of soil samples and water samples taken by french forensic investigators. so we don't know what caused this, this fire that triggered the ammonium nitrate that caused this,

this blast. but what we do know now is the top officials from the president, the caretaker prime minister, back of the army chief back him. years ago, they all knew about the presence of ammonium nitrate, and they all knew about the dangers and what we have since found out. it's not only that they know about the dangers they miscommunicated and miss characterize the dangerous when they were communicating with the judiciary. so it seems that they were trying to hide something which poses the question. so was this shipment really intended for bay route and not modem big as officials claimed back in 2013. so was it intended to be rude? and then there's a lot of connections. you have syria and national, who have been sanctioned by the u. s. government were trying to procure ammonium nitrate back in 2013 when that ship arrived and in, in lebanon. they have been since linked to the company that bought this ammonium nitrate. so you have all, please connection all these documents and yet the investigators and the authorities are doing nothing. then you ask yourself, how did this happen?

well, it's the way the port is managed. it allows for the security vacuum, the state is not in control 11 on the status so weak that the different political parties they hold sway overstate institutions. so it allows for the vac security vacuums. and imagine there's not even a scanner at they will port. so could you just imagine, did i miss? no, no, no. really. i have so many questions for you guess, and i'm going to ask you to be quite brief in your response to your reaction to them. this is news reactive. i'm going to get this one to you, moray, for the sadness that many families fail by not having an officer who is responsible for the disaster. the president of lebanon should take that on his shoulders, otherwise they will never be justice, mariah we thought about that, comment we as challenges of victims. actually we are victims ourselves because we are living without life and what,

what to how mother can can survive without, without my showing. how can i survived norman? actually what we really want is complete justice. we want to everybody who were enforced to be convicted. we want justice to be achieved and compute manner. so we want to know who the choice of who rubbish nitrate accepted, taught to store these nitrate centers, adventure larry on, in the main or near the highway. who knew about them? but did nothing intentionally or unintentionally. when you about them and didn't even care torn the people living in the area or order to people. so what we're really looking for is a compute justice for justice to the actual cause to be complete thoughts here, one's on each of them. one is a video comment, i'm going to get these 2 on tony up at the very briefly in rom wants to know. thank

you in ron, why justice is not being served right now. and more questions from our video comment go ahead. only very incriminating. what explosion, this is why we see the security community and to prevent judge before questioning ethical security informations as senior security officers. after what do you have yet to know how the one you might have to support the way they would get? what purposes and what led to the ultimate explosion? 2 east justice for the, by the judge, why it is so important by public and international community. lisa reasonable things to be asking a whole year later. antonia, yes, i mean we, i'm an international lawyer and for the 20 years we've been advising representing

individuals from some previous to complex across the world. and quite frankly, i've been shocked by the situation in lebanon, and i don't think we're going to receive justice that because that is what history has shown us and look at the situation that we have. we have one judge to. ringback investigate the dream, the complex case was supported maybe by any 2 or 420 judges. that is not sufficient resources and then put into this. that's why we are calling for a united nation investigation and independent speak the truth and to have accountability, which is what we're re until the families are fighting for. and that is how we believe that the only way that it could take place. and i just want to say that you an investigation does not mean international criminal court. it doesn't mean establishment special tribunal is the deployment of independence in the un investigators, which is quite usually happens in i've been investigating myself. say that the,

the new prime minister designate right now the g mccarty and, and he filled in quite a lot of heat from families and survivors. he is speaking aria and i thought we wanted the people to feel that after a year of having no government and no states that a government has been formed and that there is now a state. today we can't blame the families of the victims and those who are affected by the explosion. because for the past year, there has been no state. our role was for us to stand aside them on august 4th, so much going on in lebanon. we soon as you and i, and the stream of spoken before about an economic, i says, a covey prices. groceries can afford the groceries. the army, i believe, is now eating via donations because they don't have enough food. that the level of chloe sees in lebanon is so deep.

how an off is an investigation going to take place that will bring people to a power when justice the families say that is is, is that i don't want to ask, is that possible? but is that what people in lebanon are really asking? well, this is what people are asking. of course, they want to know the truth, but i remember the morning after that last what i said that, you know, lebanon lost so much when already there were so little the economy had began to collapse, unemployment businesses were closing, and then you have the current, a virus pandemic, and everybody thought lebanon reached rock bottom after that blast. and then now it's just total freefall. the currency has crashed, the food insecurity. children are still traumatized today. unicef release their findings and they said a lot of children are still traumatized from this blast. the, there's no state there has never been a state level. there has been political parties,

former warlords during the civil war, who are now running the country who are responsible for running the economy into the ground. the international community, this time around is not going to bail them out there, telling them you need to reform. you need to carry out structural reforms in order to for us to, to give you international assistance. but they don't want to do that because they're clinging onto power. and you know, the political class banding together, closing ranks in the face of judge baton who the family seemed to trust. but he's up against a political and security establishment. and it's highly unlikely he's going to win this battle, the battles for justice, because it seems the battle against accountability is winning for the time being. i'm going to bring in a voice marie, this is such, such is aware of the one the anniversary because he was involved in the blog. he's a survivor. this is what he told us earlier. i really love to talk to you about your son one year later after we hear from such i was really head.

i had many operations in my arm and my foot. i had my and a zillion switch and i have a permanent damage in my i looked at them for the 1st anniversary of the blast. we need to stop romanticize and good. this is what it is. the coffins are still open. the one that are still healing and people have not fixed their homes yet due to the crisis. do they think that they can't afford this many reasons? so we cannot dance and do more years on open coffins. we need to bury our that 1st and then go and do memorial i on just thinking about your now on this or for anniversary that you're having to mock. what is it like since

last all this on the 4th of last of last year, every day is force of august joyce. the family is like, it's every day, the 4th of august life i stop there and that day and at 6 o 7 pm. we do not want any memorials. we just want for now justice to be served for. we actually have justice. we don't want anything else. i lost my son. he was, he was full of dreams and full of life. he had big dreams. she wanted, wanted to talk to do many things in life. he wanted to be an architect to

be a router. and pretty big jean. they just took him away. the why i mean for what and full and why? just because someone in a story cheated and do their job intentionally or unintentionally because they decided to store bombs to besides, then should area for 6 years, 6 years official script taking this posts. and no one did anything to take these bumps, which so i'm just looking through it like thunder food. thank. thank you. it's how awful to be on international tv to talk about this pain. i really appreciate you doing that. i'm looking at a picture of your, your son here. he's such

a handsome young man. and whenever you see that small, you can't help it small, right back at him. it's like an electric smile here. something on youtube struck me . and so let's go to the youtube comments here because it feels really appropriate to share this thought with you. as you, as a watching, you share your stories, antonia, and then. and also moray to 10 says just this is no, everything justice doesn't heal wounds. justice doesn't build back a house, pay of damages take responsibility. it doesn't pay injured people, medical bills. i will pass that broken have. but i'm going to add, but it will give you some sense of peace. let me show you something here. this is a good time to watch this. you will see coming up and i'll just hear a english as the next 2 or 3 days. the full report by root search for answers. you'll find that at our era dot com get audience on you cheap. thanks. so much for

a double agent will always assume the worst truth or lied fact, or fiction muscle, the documents or 40 people of either of those under ups out there will tell the story of a man of many secrets. i shut my one death to the super spy on al jazeera. in the midst of war, a generation grew up in exile. more than 13000000 syrians, that half the pre war population remained displaced inside and outside the country . and as the conflict enters its 2nd decade, with no political supplement in sight, there could be further displacement. home for many has been informal camps like this in neighboring countries and lebanon's because the valley life has been one of poverty and uncertainty. theory the economy is collapsing and international aid organizations are warning. it is pushing millions deeper into poverty. many our job

listen hungry. the united nation says 60 percent or 12400000. serious, don't have regular access to enough food, despite the battlefield, being largely quiet for a year, agencies say the daily suffering of syrians is worse than it has been at nearly any point throughout the conflict. and the hardship has not stopped at syria's border. ah india recalls a sudden rise of more than $40000.00 cro virus cases. they've been focused on has and a to the 1000000 people in a day to curb a search infection. ah, the whole robin you're watching out there were like my headquarters here in the
