1:04 pm
government, which calls it, says these la camera, it accuses world powers of callous behavior for freezing assets and stopping aid from millions of afghans. and we do not have our teams do not have a specific euclid to take people under the from under the rubble of these has to live mostly on the efforts of the defacto authorities. at least $15000000.00 will be required immediately. international and regional head will be crucial, as it will likely take months and years to recover from the devastation of loans, who feel abandoned and let down by the international community. say, all they can do is pray for both the dead and those who survive. come, i've been driving over there and the la t. v has more from the eastern province of parts. yeah. earlier today we saw world food program trucks passing by. we know that the international rescue committee has started deploying more mobile medical units. but the assistance is still slow to
1:05 pm
come. we're currently at the pack the army corps. and here on the tarmac is where helicopters will land and transport, the injured 2 ambulances that will then take them to the regional hospital here. but once they get to the regional hospital here, it's another issue in the hospital doesn't have proper emergency equipment and it may not be able to treat head injuries. and so in that case, they will have to go by land to the city of kabul, which is another 4 or 5 hours away. so again, it shows sort of in this disaster setting, the kinds of shortcomings with which government is currently operating, extremely urgent. you know, we were talking to a pilot earlier who was piloting one of the aircraft. and he was saying that when he land unpacked the call, you know, hundreds of people just warm towards the helicopter, trying to get there thinking injured on board. trying to get attention trying to get out and get to a better hospital as much as much as possible. and he was saying that as many as
1:06 pm
the people who come and seek help to, to get out into the city, the city of guys is there just as many still trapped under the rubble. and obviously the assistance was hindered yesterday by the implement weather and then that also impact, you know, the condition of the people that are being treated. a lot of people may have died just by being stuck under the rubble. other, you know, are facing serious medical conditions because of how long it's taking them to get to a proper hospital, whether that be these or if they have to be transported. so they need helicopters for sure that that's one major issue with helicopters. come and go once every hour or so, but they can only take so many people with them at a time. so the more they are there are because the roads are so difficult to get to . and because yesterday, you know, there was rain and hail that there would be flooding and land size and things like that. they really need air support. at the moment. germany is stepping up its gas emergency plans saying that it's facing a supply crisis and its economy minister says it can't rule out gas rationing
1:07 pm
because of dwindling deliveries from russia. the european union says it will temporarily revert to using coal to deal with the reduce flows. the u has insisted, the change wont derail its longer term climate goals, and the measure will be phased out as soon as possible. let's go straight to dominant cane, who joins a sly from berlin and dominic, what does this mean exactly? when germany says it's stepping up, it's gas, emergency plan. the way to perceive this situation right now is that what the government has announced today than this latest step. and it's in its emergency planning as it were, is to say that it's now at an alert level in german. it's called an alarm level, which might make you think that this is a particularly worrying moment. in fact is actually more of an alert situation and give you a sense of perspective e on which is one of the bigger energy suppliers here has put out
1:08 pm
a statement in which they say that the decision taken today does not change the fundamental status quo. and so far as gas supply is concerned for the time being, and it's that element of uncertainty going forward, which informs the decision that the minister has taken it to day, in effect. what he is saying is right now, we have enough gas to be able to supply, not just to residential uses, but also much more importantly to industry reality as we are now in the summer, in, in the northern hemisphere here in europe. and so not so many people will be using gas to heat their homes, where the temperature is a relatively warm clement, the high it might be said, but industry is a main user of gas. and it is those people, those in industry who will be listening to what is being said, sense making the decisions that need to be made on the basis of that and reversing to using coal. whether in the short run, a long term. i mean, solely,
1:09 pm
that's going to have an impact on the e climate goals. not on the euclid. it goes constructing on germany for a 2nd. this is, this is a government with very many green ministers in it from the green party who are implacably, or were implacably opposed to the idea of further investment into the sorts of fossil fuels that a reversion to coal woods would, would suggest, would be necessary. and yet this is the bitter pill as it were, that they're having to take because of the situation that has been created by the war in ukraine. there's no question about it. there are even people here right now saying, well, why are we closing down the few remaining nuclear reactors that there are? well, that issue the nuclear issue is a fundamental issue for the green party. they do not want to be associated with that. and as a consequence, their preferences, okay, we'll plow into coal,
1:10 pm
but do it only in an emergency and for a short, a time as possible. remembering that both here in the micro level, in germany and at the macro level, in the e. u, the decision has been get out of russian fossil fuels as quickly as possible. if that means using colon liquid natural gas for a while, we'll do it. but the goal is to get away from it as quickly as possible. okay, thank you for that. dominic cane there for us in berlin. now the u. k. foreign sector, he says the global grain crisis is urgent and needs to be solved within the next month. less trust is in turkey to discuss ways to free up ukraine's black. see ports allow grain to be shipped out. she says the u. k is willing to offer its expertise to resolve the crisis. peyton is weapon ising hunger. he's using feed security as a callous to of war. he's blocked ukrainian ports and is stopping 20000000 tons of grain being exported across the globe,

1:21 pm
a string of allegations against his predecessor, jacob zimmer report found zoom, has stopped investigations into the group to brothers rejection, a tool gupta were rested into by this month. the keys of using their connections with zima to win state contracts, misappropriated state assets, and influence cabinet appointments. it was revealed, zoom also stopped. authorities from investigating the head of state security, author frayza for running a rogue parallel intelligence organization. phrase, it was in the news for reporting a burglary in 2020, at a game farm owned by rama. plaza involving undisclosed sums of foreign currency or rama 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 the country can work to ensure that such events such
1:22 pm
a state capture nova hip over happen again in our country. as case if emitter miller, who is in to out his bag from italy, it's a pretty damning report. what's the reaction bed? well, the reaction has, hasn't been surprising really given that these under commission inquiry into corruption or state capture has been taking place of for more than 3 years. and up over that period, they've been at least 300 witnesses who have established that the african national congress, as well as his leadership, could be held accountable, full, widespread corruption in south africa. and that's certainly the case, given this last instalment from the chair person of the commissioner raymond xander . specifically, i'm laying out that the former president jacob zoom as well as the and see
1:23 pm
a central to this corruption. but also saying that president slam, of course, i had not done enough to stop it, that he was also the deputy president of the a and c and of the country during assume us time in office. and that he was also the head of the deployment committee within the a and c, and was well aware of people being deployed to high ranking positions that may have served the former president, jacob zoom. i andy's associates a in looked a family. so it's certainly the current president, sir, i'm a poor sir and hasn't a escaped any sort of criticism or blame for the corruption and he's likely to have to answer 2 more questions in the coming days. we know the report has said that some of his testimony was circumspect and that he may have protected the form of president and the a and see in terms of that widespread corruption. so for miss or what is likely to happen next them while the president
1:24 pm
does have 4 months to review the reports and then take it to parliament or with his recommendations. we do know that the report is indicated that they are several people who should be criminally charged, but there will be subject to further investigation parliament as indicated that it would start reviewing this report away from the president's recommendations. it will only come in a few months. so we are likely to see perhaps more statements come out from parliament in the national assembly. but it's also uncertain just how cohesive by parliament will be given that it's made up of a number of parties. and we have seen in the past that the african national congress has been reluctant to deal with members of its party who could be responsible for corruption. it does have a step beside rules saying that people should step aside if charge, but that's only if charged with the crime. thank you for that. for mr. miller, that for us into hannah's bag, be coffin of

1:34 pm
be in the shelter. they need jenkins water. they need to get services for longer than they need discovery support. of course, let's talk more specifically about medical help because we've been speaking to reporters in pataki who have said there is a local hospital there, but it's not equipped to handle any serious injuries. i mean, talk about the health challenges, the medical challenges. i mean, is it possible to send doctors, their health equipment there? what, what, what do you do actually, the medical teams that mobile medical teams is working in the, in the current provider, in the primary care services for me to do some admin for 2 people from 2 other radia to the hospital. so suppose the number of people and number of facilities for risk the people to yes,
1:35 pm

1:37 pm
following story from manila jamila. so firstly, tell us a bit more about the situation facing on some sushi. what exactly has happened? well, there's very limited information about her situation since her arrest last year in february 2021. what we knew then was that she has been staying under house arrest somewhere in me and mar, with several of her domestic staff. now, the junta spokesperson made an announcement to day wednesday that she has been moved in solitary confinement. and you know, since then basically her access to the outside world has largely been cut off. her only access on outside was her with their lawyers during free trial briefings with lawyers who are not allowed to speak to journalists and journalists who are not allowed to attend these hearings. so this is why something that was mentioned by tom andrews. the human rights,
1:38 pm
are you end at rapport your for human rights and myanmar? basically he said in his statement that any suggestion that there could be a possibility of a free and fair election and me and mar in 2023 is frankly preposterous. he said there can be no free and fair elections if you locked up your opponent. so now there is growing pressure, not just from the people of me and mar, but also from the international community to act for the honda to act, to lose in it's restrictive policies on members of the opposition and institutions on their gannons, asians that question its power within me and mar, a very damning reports, indeed from the un rough a ter, he's also been talking about the plight of children in me on my what else has yet to say about that? well, it's quite disturbing because based on his 8, they stay in me and mar in malaysia where he spent, you know, interviewing survivors. those who are managed to get out of min, martin,
1:39 pm
malaysia. he made a very graphic description of the situation of children where hundreds of died more than a 100, remain held hostage by the honda. and that they fear though that at least $33000.00 children me will have to die within the next year or so. because of the lack of basic medical needs, particularly immunizations in many, many areas across mindy. now he's also spoken to survivors defectors from the police and military members of the junta who basically talked about the very difficult conditions in the tension. there were discussions about starvation, sexual assault, harassment, and torture. and so he again go back to the critical role of i seen that, you know, it's previous non interference approach. it's traditional approach towards issues of its members and it's the messic issues may have to change. you know,
1:40 pm
