welcome back. you're watching our time to recap, i'll headlines now. i've got fans. interior ministry says at least 280 people have been killed in the magnitude 5.9 earthquake in the country. se buildings been destroyed and hundreds of people injured. it happened in the early hours of wednesday morning. the quake was felt as far away as neighboring pakistan and iran . let's go live now to cobble were joined by john list alley law, the finale. how did the casualty figures look? now? the casualty figures keep rising. we're still hearing at least 280 injured 100 or 280 killed, hundreds more injured. and there are 8 agencies going in for relief efforts. they are doing their assessments and you know, because given the nature of one, this incident happened. you know, so early in the morning in these houses are probably not built for, or quick resistance and in houses where, you know, families can be 7 people,

10 people, even 20 people at a time. the casualty rate seems like it will be continuing to climb or you mentioned the agencies going in have they actually made it to the scene of the api center. so i was speaking to the international rescue committee. they have a deployed local medical organizations, local medical teams to try and respond to their they are on their way. they are also sending cash assistance programs that are on their way from cobble. but the biggest issue right now is how to get to these locations because they're further away from the provincial capitals and the road conditions can be difficult. there has been raining that has been flooding over the last few days in some problems as there's even been snow. so really the issue is how long it's going to take for them to get there, to give their information and to get the proper assistance back. but they have been deploying local health groups, they have been deploying cash assistance programs. they've been in contact with the

government. they've been in contact with other agencies. so they're, they're rallying support. but it's just a matter of getting there at the right. and we've seen before, when there are challenges in reaching places in afghanistan because we've got the k through roads that bank can take time. it can take days, sometimes what happens to people in the meanwhile, i'll be getting help via helicopter or want helicopters have been deployed. the ministry of defense has sent helicopters. the un, i believe, have been sending a air air craft and they will be sending again, possibly tomorrow. but the issue is that right now, aircraft is limited and they, they've been sent out. they don't know how many more they can send out today. so the 1st line of defense, as you said, are aircraft and that's what they're hoping to rely on the most. but depending on how big, you know, the actual impact is, you know, it will take

a lot of effort. it will take a lot of different groups working together. and really, you know, the, the biggest issue remains getting there. and that's why the information is so limited at this point is because people are 8 groups journalists. everyone is still getting their trying to send information back and because it happens so early in the morning, you know, there are necessarily that many health facilities in this area that are capable of taking on such a load. so again, this is why we see the casualty rate increasing so much. alright, we'll leave it there. thanks so much for the update. now pucks down government says progress has been made and talks with the international monetary on to revive the countries bailout program. expecting a $6000000000.00 financial lifeline to be extended, pakistan has been on the brink of an economic crisis. foreign exchange reserves are drawing up and it's currencies hit the rank hold lows. a congressional panel in washington,

there was something different in the eyes of these families. as they once again had to contemplate the idea that our schools are no longer safe places that are supermarkets are no longer safe spaces. but they also were contemplating the idea that congress was so caught up in its own politics. so addicted to backing into our own corners that we wouldn't be able to do anything meaningful. a jury in california has found active bill cosby liable for sexually abusing and under age girl in 1975. the court ordered cosby to pay the victim half a $1000000.00 in damages. the 84 year old denied the charges. it just it's been torture. it has just to be ripped apart, you know, thrown under the bus back over. and this to me is such

a total of 30 days. the goal here, or the strategy by the ecuadorian government, is to contain these protests that have really begin begun to get out of hand. they've been growing for more than a week. now the government has taken a hard line against demands by demonstrators many who are protesting or indigenous activists or digits. people from different part of the country who are the who are saying that the fuel prices are absolutely way too high to completing over higher costs of food over inflation over worsening poverty, lead to the cobra, 1900 pandemic. now these demonstrations were primarily organized by canada, which is a group of different indigenous communities from all across a quote, but have since been joined by other activists including students, demonstrators. again, what prices of fuel to go down of food to go down and it remains unclear whether not the government is going to budge on any or all of these of these demands.
