that's kind of when the roof came down on me, i thought i had been shot by a gun. my body was in pain in burning. i tried to get up, but i couldn't look if he is in the eastern province of packed here. where outside the patio regional hospital and just standing there, we've seen world food program trucks passing by. we know that the international rescue committee has started some efforts in terms of mobile health care and terms of trying to bring cash to the community. there's another young start up out of the united states called the i c lap, which is also hoping to begin distribution today or tomorrow. so there definitely are efforts, but it doesn't seem to be enough as of yet because one major issue yesterday was the inclement weather. which created road blocks which made it very difficult for the agencies to reach the area. and today here being at the patio regional hospital, we've seen that even though this is a regional hospital where patients from 3 for different provinces. it's still lack,
11:03 am
very important resources for instance, they don't have a helicopter. so when patients come from pack the car here, if they're in bad condition, they have to send them to cobble because they don't have proper emergency services or head injury treatment. they have to send them to cobble by road, and we spoke to a doctor who said, that is of course, very dangerous because you're sending someone in critical condition for 5 hours into another city just to get them basic, you know, emergency services. so just as a whole, you know, the medical system here has always suffered and this is a, another very clear example of, by all of the 8 and everything that had come in the past. you know, even a regional hospital is suffering and faith in difficulties trying to treat all of the patient. now the ousted lead of me in my unsung suit. she has been moved from house arrest to solitary confinement in a prison compound. the 77 year old nobel laureates had been under house arrest since last year, accompanied by several domestic staff,
11:04 am
and had dog under the previous john to regime. so she spent long spells on the house arrest in her family, mansion and young gone. lastly, in mars, largest city, gemini island dog is following the visit from the philippine capital manila. so 1st of all, do we know why she's been moved into solitary confinement league giving any details on that? well, it's hard to say because there's been very limited information about on sounds suit . she journalists are bars from attending her trials. her only contact to the outside world really are the pre child briefings with her lawyers, the same lawyers who are also not allowed to speak to the press. now she has been arrested since last year placed on house arrest. and according to that statement, released by the hunter spokesperson, she has been moved to solitary confinement inside a military compound. but it remains to be seen whether she will stay there or she will eventually be reunited with members of her local stuff. now. so she is

a public trial for criminal negligence. they're accused of failing to take proper care of madonna when he was recovering from surgery. he died 2 years ago at the age of 60, after an operation to treat a blood clot in his brain. in south africa, the final report looking into the so called state capture scandal has criticized president. so run the poser for not doing enough to stop years of corruption. the 3 year judicial commission investigated a string of allegations against his freed this. i said, jacob sooner will the report found zoom stopped investigations into the group, tell brothers roger sion, our tool gupta were arrested in dubai. this month accused of using their connections with zoom to win, state contracts, miss appropriate state assets and influence cabinet appointments. it was revealed, zoom are also stopped. authorities from investigating the head of state security off of fraser for running of broke parallel intelligence organization. fraser was
11:26 am
in the news for reporting a burglary in 2020 the game farm owned by ram. a poster involving undisclosed sums of foreign currency round poses said the report could be used against future corruption in south africa. the report is far more than a record of widespread corruption, fraud and abuse. it is also an instrument through which their country can work to ensure that such events such a state capture never had ever happen again. in our country. for me, the miller has more from johannesburg. many critics would say that given the president's proposal has positioned himself as a, as some one fighting corruption. he really hasn't done enough to fight corruption,
11:27 am
really or profit in the african national congress. specifically. he testified at these under commission this inquiry traditional inquiry into state capture. and this might have backed by a bike fide for the president because we've also heard from those on the commission that it finds. the president's testimony was somewhat circumspect and that jacob zu mother from a former president abused power and the drama posts are often lit conducive. so certainly the president to report hasn't come out of the inquiry or the report really looking very good because the party as a whole, the african national congress is also compromised in that the, there's under commission been very critical of the a and c, perhaps supporting and enabling the former president, jacob lou, my income's of corrupt activities, and especially the relationship with the group to brothers that you mentioned to me . of course, i certainly would have to do a lot of work going forward in terms of repairing your reputation. a given that he
11:28 am
was the president of the n. c, at the time under jacob's duma, and clearly hadn't done enough to clean up a government. north korea's military leaders have met to discuss increasing the abilities of the armies frontline units raising alarm from neighboring countries. according to state media, the meeting with kim jogan and top military officials also focused on the potential for battlefield nuclear weapons. and the rock concerns young gang may be ready for nuclear tests. from brian is more from sol. we are told they were discussing key military organizational matters and also the operational duties of frontline unit. now they didn't elaborate on any of this, but it thought that this could be linked to, hence that north korea gave a couple of months ago about deploying a tactical nuclear warheads to frontline artillery units. now these are they a small kinds of warheads that we know north korea has been trying to develop that
11:29 am
has been speculation that it is preparing for another underground nuclear test. they are also the kind of a smaller warheads that are carried by short range missiles and rockets that north korea has been actively testing. especially since the beginning of this year with 18 rounds of tests of such weapons. so far more important perhaps than what was said was how they said it and why. now interestingly, with news of this meeting, they released a series of pictures, one of them showing intriguingly a map of the east coast of the korean peninsula with the details blurred out for security reasons. but the very fact that they would show this in such a secretive state is interesting. it is unusual. and also the fact that they referred specifically to frontline units. these are the kinds of units directed at specifically at south korea. so this does seem to be a deliberately aimed to deliberately time to pressure tactic aimed at the
11:30 am
administration at south korea, which is conservative. it has promised a much tough line with north korea, amid speculation that we are in for a much tougher, more confrontational period into korean relations. ah, and let's take you through some of the headlines here now 0. now, the thought about government is appealing for international aid. after i've gone this time was hit by the deadliest earthquake in 20 years. at least 1500 people have been killed in the pack and host provinces. the fees in the eastern province of bacteria. where outside the hotel regional hospital and just standing there, we've seen world food.
