security forces were using water cannon and t. a gas on protest is trying to break through barricades new the parliament building. at least 54 people have been injured. there is still tension. these are the latest pictures demonstrates as the demanding accountability from the government over that blast life now to correspondent xena xena. so we've got those pictures of quite ugly scenes outside the parliament building. do we know what's going on there right now the things that we have seen and the past protestors want to storm part in building their angry. they want the m p 's to meet and lift the immunity of the number of m p 's, who were former ministers at the time. the ammonium nitrate to entered living on the ammonium nitrate believes to be responsible for that massive blast. the lead judge in the case a few weeks ago and named a number of suspects. high ranking officials as well as high ranking security

chiefs he wants to interrogate them. he believes that they were responsible, one way or another for storing that material inside warehouse 12 for not safely this story about the material inside warehouse club. but he faced the fierce political backlash from the political establishment. so people are demanding justice has been a year since that last they want the accountability, so they're venting their anger at parliament. but this is not just about justice and accountability. there's also people who came today demanding a new leadership. there's been calls for new leadership since october, 2019. but those in power who many blame really for not just blowing up the city, but reading the economy into the ground there, clinging on to power. so skirmishes outside parliament, which we also understand is that families of the victims are also heading to the homes of the suspects because they believe this is the only way they can pressure the political class to cooperate with the judiciary. and as far as those seems

outside the parliament, if we combine what's going on right now with what you've been reporting on, say, and over the last hour, that somber, respectful roll cole, of the dead, combined with the damage that still hasn't been addressed in beirut. port area, i think it was somebody from the greek orthodox church to day, alongside the pope who was saying nobody is above the law. it feels as if the lebanese politicians, however, think or feel, or believe they may not be above the law, but they can carry on being politicians outside the law. there is no states and there is no rule of law. in fact, human rights groups don't believe that it's a domestic investigation. we'll find the answer is a domestic investigation will bring about accountability and justice. they've been demanding an international investigation. we've been speaking to the families of the victims over the past year. there is no closure. people tell us,

we can't understand what's happened. why did our son have to die? why did my, my 3 year old have to die in this, in this explosion? they blamed the political class for mismanagement, for corruption, for negligence, for not taking action. at the ammonium nitrate, you know, it was stored in an unsafe manner, and it's not just that people don't think that this is just an accident. they believe that there are some criminality involved who own the ammonium nitrate than many believe that this ship was not intended for mozambique. and the fact that was intended for 11 people want the answers they want closure. this was one of the most traumatic experiences for the lebanese people. and these people have had a turbulent pass civil war, military invasions, political assassinations, and bombings. and in the past, really this country has a culture of them. can see there's never been investigations, never been arrest, never been trials. they believe this time around. it has to be different because if it doesn't change, and if there is no answers and there's no accountability, then many feel that there will never be

a state. and they've lost hope in any future in this country. they know, thank you very much. how did they report in life from beirut? well, one man who survived the exclusion spoke to alex's era, about how is less scars on the city and his life? as many liam up today as it can get and tina, my name is lima. i'm from the current teen neighborhood. i've been living here in this area for the past 30 years here. we are a lot of challenges in this neighborhood in the past, like wars and so many other things, but august, 4th was worse. it was a day of destruction with sadness in ruthlessness. an adverb bit, assassin admit, still, believe me, i always sit here and drink my coffee before heading out to work. and i have a shop out there on a day minute. so i came out here on the day of the blast and saw smoke coming out of the port and i thought there was a fire. how do you separate the how they are not sure how to fit on.

then i came back into the room on as i was going to sign, the blush happened now a stone to decide what a huge rock slammed into the ceiling here. and broke its way down to the 1st floor that i went through. the pi flores had my family been here, they would have been casualties. and yes, i was injured right here. what are my eyes? my arm by the my entire body is enough gettable day. august 4th is so i forget about. i'm an honor. we're now suffering financially, you know, which become of the economy. everything is way more expensive or new jobs are used to work during the day, but now i'm going to show the stock certainly. so i don't have an income about. and then shall likewise help for a better future, but i,

i can see it being better than before. every once in a while, something huge shakes the core of this country. we don't have a promising future. and you can see a special program by saying holder and the team in beirut on that disaster, beirut search for answers here on our tracy or a weapon. stay at 2330 as gmc. you can also watch the program be our website. out of here dot com, or indeed you can search for it on your youtube platform as well. at least 3 people that offer train crash in the west and check republic dozens. we're also injured when a german express train hit a cheque regional service, the drivers of both trains died. 10 people are in hospital with serious or life threatening injuries. wildfires are stretching, emergency crews, and turkey and southern europe. in turkey, at least 14 fires across 6 provinces, opposing the threat firefighters abroad, another 160, under control. since last week,

of turkey, and it hasn't been much easy for turkey to bring it under control. thousands of people on the outskirts of athens have been forced to leave their homes as a wildfire moves close. is there more than 500 firefighters trying to contain the place in an industrial area in a suburb of the great capital temperatures of more than 40 degrees celsius and dry winds. found the flames of more than 100 separate fires in basra, but has more from athens. its been 24 hours since this fire started and the ground is still smoldering. if you look at the tree lined behind me, we can still see the smoke rising from what is left of the burning embers. we've seen aerial drops of water in these areas in the ground crews are going in to put out what remains of, of the flames. that have been ongoing here for 24 hours now. it has to be said, the fire is far less intense than it was earlier this morning and last night. but

what the worry is for a fire rescue teams now is that the intense heat, the climbing temperatures that continue to go up, the wind is picking up as well. these things might rekindle the flames and restart the fires that they've already been fighting since yesterday. well, weather also driving huge fries in italy, tourists and residents, been evacuated from the coastal cities, a container, and pesca firefighters. say they're facing hundreds of blazys and populated areas in the past few days, but they are starting to get some of them on the control. adam reiney has more for us now from gra, vena in puleo, in southern italy, authorities in the last few hours they were able to finally, totally put out this fire and poorly in the south of the country. and they say it's a sign of the progress they're making and other regions, sicily and calabria, both nearby, both of those regions still have a few sporadic fires that are blazing, but they're not really putting anyone at risk right now as they were 48 hours ago. with a bit of measured confidence authorities here in italy say they think that they're

out of the worst days of this crisis. i'm like turkey and greece. they didn't have these massive individual fires, but instead, more small ones spread out through half the length of the country. we've traveled from the center of the country pest got on the coast down here to pull you to get a sense of what these fires look like. and what we saw are fires that were discrete in size, and sometimes in certain small areas, but didn't spread across the whole countryside that perhaps allowed firefighters to get control of the situation faster than they have done in neighboring greece and turkey. still to come on this program, india records a southern rise of more than $40000.00 corona virus cases. we look at how people without insurance are faring. i'm and richard kennedy carolyn, fix, west facebook, back for the 1st time. 2000 and i a
