12:00 am
ah ah safe going home and then international anti corruption excellence award vote now for your hero. ah. ready this is al jazeera
12:01 am
ah, hello, i'm mary. i'm the mozy. welcome to the news, our ally from london coming up. some protests, others flee. as russia begins calling up reserves to fight it more in ukraine. in while the countries foreign minister rejects worse and accusations over ukraine walking out of the security council after his speech. ah, iran wounds and attending protests is now illegal as the death told wise is off the demonstrations of the death of 22 year old master. i'm uni, despite the approach of winter rocketing energy prices prompts many households in the netherlands to get that gas household in sports will hear from roger federer and raphael, no doubt as they prepared to team up for one last time. and 20 people are injured
12:02 am
in a stampede after cricket bands rush to buy tickets to watch india po strayer, ah, welcome to then use our or russia has started to calling out reserve is to fight in the war and you crying. russia. meteor saying, 10000 people have volunteered to fight since president let. emma putin announced a mobilization of 300000 reservists on wednesday. but the order also triggered an exodus from the country with airline tickets out of the country, setting out and hundreds of people have been detained over a weight of anti war protesters have also been taking place on its smith now reports a, there's not much time to say good bye here in soccer. russia's far east. most of these men had only 24 hours. notice that they were being passed it into russia's
12:03 am
army, the sum of the 300000 reservists being called up to fight in ukraine. i know not everyone is going willingly. i and daggers stand. russia said the most tip reservists confront a woman at the military commission. what's it for this war? this man shouts, i lepeu to protect his own palaces, not hide behind our men and children. oh, there is still a few who summoned the courage to protest against president vladimir putin, the announcement of a partial mobilization of civilians. this was in st. petersburg, william adams, my boyfriend received today a notification from military commissary at. so he can come out here. but i came because i don't want our young men to be taken away. when we came to protect our friends, our fathers and our relatives who they want to take to the war,
12:04 am
the brutal war against ukraine. one monitoring group says at least 1300 people have been detained in 38 cities. but i'm in the middleton, his public. most russians get the news from state levy and more than 70 percent of them definitely, or mostly support or puting calls, a special military operation. ukraine. that's according to a poll by an independent russian organisation before the draft was announced, which ah, european commission says more than half a 1000000 russians have left the country since the invasion began in february. this was the border with georgia on wednesday. finland has also seen a spike in arrivals, the only remaining direct flights to european cities at a stump bull in belgrade. their sold out of or is horrible, so a so key to be afraid to help war. and there are things, those men who are eligible for military service will not be allowed to leave russia
12:05 am
. they will have to stay and fight. and they don't know when they'll see their families again. bernard smith, al jazeera will maxim edwards, as a journalist and editor at the open source investigative website, alan kat. he joins us live now. so russia meteor is in saying that 10000 people have volunteered to fight. since that announcement, tell us more about the, the mobilization of these 300000 reserve is how is that going to work and where might they end up coming from? sure. well, i mean, i think it's, it say, response of course to ukraine's and startling successes in the market region for basically the entirety of the special military operation is the kremlin calls it. the kremlin has been doing everything you can to avoid the full mobilization focusing instead on using volunteers as they call them from across the regions often with financial incentives and increasingly scraping the barrel. we've also seen some evidence that conscripts my that's, that's,
12:06 am
that as i convicts from prisons might actually be some of the next groups to be conscripted. but the partial mobilization is the criminal cause that is as you, for mystic as it's term special military operation for the war. because the actual law itself is very vague about the limits of who won't be conscripted. and a really important thing to remember is it actually locks in contract service mon, currently serving in ukraine to that current deployment. so they can't tear up their contracts, they can ask the more money they come voluntarily leave. and it also severely increases the penalty for desertion. or surrendering to the ukrainian armed forces . many of the people who will be signing up will be people that they initially, from russia poorest regions. disproportionate number of ethnic minorities was seeing quite a significant number of videos emerging from russian. far east. where as your,
12:07 am
as your correspondent found into those quite a lot of distress around an unexpected reactions to unexpectedly furious reactions to, to that eventually it will start to trickle down to the middle classes in society. russian society, these people for him, the people that we are seeing now trying to leave the country, seeing reports that flights to places like arizona and stumble was sold out just minutes off to christians announcement. that's right. i mean the slides and costing over $5000.00 pounds, which is a lot for even a middle to us, russian family. i mean, many people, it was quite a popular way in the 2002010 in russia to, to sign up to this way in the cafeteria. which is essentially taking on academic degree and doing a couple of courses, you know. so you could then qualify as a, you know, a reserve officer officer in the russian army reserves. but now these people would really have thought that the day would come when they would actually be called on to fight a war. and their leading in a white color lives in large russian cities,
12:08 am
those people, many of them who have not been able to the, for the flight. so now you know, hot tailing it out of russia driving to some of the few borders with other countries where they can travel without a visa cast on a primary destination there. and so over time, perhaps not straight away. what effect is, is likely to have on public sentiment in terms of perhaps fatigue, even opposition to the one you cry. well, you know, i mean, the rush is a very optimized society. and the kremlin has some methodically abbreviated and smashed a loss of domestic political opposition, least formal domestic political position. so i think we could see quite a lot more of the tax on recruiting stations protests that your correspondence said that you know, over a 1000 people have been arrested. the fact that people have been very, very chilled by the these don't clamp down on freedom of speech in russia had to
12:09 am
tightening the screws since the war started the fact that people are still willing to go out and processed. knowing that, you know, now that they're going to face even even greater repression even longer. prison sentence says it's really quite, quite incredible. i think the biggest domestic political opposition to the war in russia, which could pres present any immediate threat to the kremlin is maybe the kind of more tub, something patriotic nationalists. you see them in the telegraph channels and they, they really are not liking the way the war is going. and, you know, they increasingly saying that the kremlin has managed that. so that's another consequence. but i think as with many things in russia, expecting crowds of 100000 people in the streets, i think given the correct down that that probably is not around the corner axis. edwards from bellingham, thank you. thank you. enjoy your crane has been sad appraising the release of
12:10 am
215 prisoners of war by russia in exchange for 55 russians. but in military intelligence, as many of them had suffered torture to key a broker the deal which includes the transfer of one high profile oligarch with close ties of light in the prison. gabriel alexander reports now from cave. it's the most significant prisoner swaps and sore began. 215 ukrainian soldiers released by russia in a deal brokers by turkey. this is definitely a victory for our state for our entire society, a most in portland for 215 families who be able to see the loved ones who safety. oh mister president, dear fellow ukrainians, i am eternally grateful to you for bringing us back. thank you very much. emotions are overwhelming little blue in a separate deal facilitated by saudi arabia. 10 foreigners fighting alongside ukrainian forces have also been released on most of the ukrainian soldiers released
12:11 am
were part of this so called as arb regiment that held out for weeks defending the as of stall steel plant and murray. you pull despite being surrounded and shelled by russian forces, they finally surrendered in may. as part of the agreement, 5 of the unit commanders will remain in turkey until the end of the war. the soldiers that fought and as a star are considered national heroes. here in ukraine, you can see signs of it all overfeed. and while many were released in his prisoner swab, it's believed hundreds more are still being held as prisoners of war, or the russians to hold up it's into the bargain. ukraine has freed 55 russian soldiers as well as victor were taken out in iso nations general assembly and new york ground munious prime minister. a cold passion for is addressing the general assembly. though i wish i was here with the more positive message given all
12:12 am
the challenges and tribulations the world has been true in the past few years. but my statement will focus on the latest as that by johnny unprovoked aggression against the sober and pay 3 of the republic of armenia and its overall impact on the stability in the south caucasus. on september 13 azerbaijan launched on unprovoked and unjustified military aggression against armenia, using heavy artillery, multiple rocket launchers, and combat you avi's. d. as or by johnny armed forced shell, $36.00, the residential areas, and communities including powerful glories, jr, mac voc pennies. galvan gala, masada deep. we dean the solar, entire,
12:13 am
tory or fire menia. this was not a border of clash. it was a direct, undeniable attack against the sober in t and t tauriel integrity or foreign mania which was condemned and addressed during the latest un security council meetings. and beyond. d, as or by johnny attack, deliberately targeted c williams population and the white co civilian infrastructures. j moke is one of the main hill tories and the resort place he so far mania, and now as a result of as or by johnny aggression. all the hotels resort and health center, so of jermel are close. all the residents of this tall town are displaced over a number of doors temporarily displaced from give out of conic wild shore. and soon
12:14 am
in the region, salvas mania is more than 7600 persons, mostly women and elderly pep people among them. 1437 children and 99 persons weight. these abilities around to 192 houses, 3 hotels, 2 schools, one medical facility, partially or completely destroyed. 7 electrical infrastructures, 5 water infrastructures, 3 gas pipelines, one breach were damaged, 2 ambulances for pro private cars, where shield the ketchup to water. reserved war was targeted and
12:15 am
chilled. jordan our lists and ambulance re calls where targeted and chilled, as well as a result of the aggression, the number of victims and missing persons. at the moment exceeded 207. among them, 3 civilians were killed, and 2 civilians are missing. 293 service men and 8 civilians where one date at least 20 service men were captured. there are evidences of cases of torture, mutilation, of captured or already dead service men. numerous instances of extra judicial killings and ill treatment of armenian prisoners of war as well as humiliating treatment of their bodies. the dead bodies of armenian
12:16 am
female military personnel were mutilated and then proudly with your recorded, with particular particular cruelty by d, as or by journey service. men, the videos featuring such gross some war crimes and crimes against humanity are being shared and praised. on the other by johnny social media, but by in individual users, no doubt committing such and speak about atrocities is a dire as the result of decades long police of implanting anti armenian hatred and animosity in the as or by john the society by the political leadership in the vague of these offensive, the official narrative and auto sources of information suggests that as or by john
12:17 am
intends to occupy mortar to resolve armenia, which needs to be prevented. i want to stress that the risk of new aggression by as that a by john remains where the high especially taking into account that every day as there by john vale lays the ceasefire. and the number of casualties and doors injured could change any moment. another factor for further escalation can be an appropriate reaction to this situation by the regional security organizations which raised to where the heart questions among armenian society. ladies and gentlemen, this 5, the above mentioned facts as or by john is trying to pause it's of as a country seeking peace in our region. peace retirement hearing forum
12:18 am
aside. what as that by johnny saying you can even be impressed by its devotion to beast, efforts, and for staging this impression as that by john is using the subjects of peace treaty with us at armenia, ward that daily meditation and the regional communication opening agenda. why we have no tangible progress in this direction. the reason is ready as simple as our by john is using all dos topics for territorial claims against armenia. for example, one of the most important subjects of peace treaty is bilateral, a recognition of territorial integrity between armenia and azerbaijan. we have already declared that we are ready to do so, but as thereby john has a, danny,
12:19 am
shall fall on day contrary, azerbaijan has been public it publicly voicing that the entire south and east of armenia and even the capital city of yet, yvonne isn't as added by johnny land, on the other hand as that by john is keeping on their occupation tangible territory . so var mania. and as i said, the risk of new aggression by, as there by john remains where the high in these regards, i'm posing gun official and public worship toward the azerbaijani president. could you show the map of armenia that you recognize or are ready to reg overnight as the republican armenia? why i'm asking this, because it can come out that from the point of view of official azerbaijan,
12:20 am
only half of our media and even less. is there a public or 5 minion? if i sat by jones will drink organized territorial integrity of armina? not your ethically, but concretely, i mean, the integrity of our internationally recognized territory of 29000 a time that it's square kilometers. it would mean that we can sign piece 3 t by mutually recognizing each other data tauriel integrity. otherwise, we would have a phantom peace treaty. and after that, either by joan will use border daily mutation process for new territorial claims and occupation. as you may know, by letter of commission of borders, the limitation and border security was formed in may. and 2 meetings of the commission have taken place before before the formation of their commission.
12:21 am
last, dea, azerbaijan occupied more than 40 square kilometer territories of our dominion. and then one of the excuses of visor by john about the reasons they have done this was that armina, according to den, refuses to form border limitation commission. of course, we didn't refuse to do that, but only insisted that similar tenuously, a mechanism of border security, should be established. in the end, according to our international partners to request who argued that the border commission walk itself will be a reliable factor for border security. we agreed to start the war and now that was that the limitation and security commission has been formed and these
12:22 am
walking as there. but john initiated a new phase of aggression and some of some of the dos, international partners. i've silent but what, what is now the explanation for aggression or was there a budget? you know, if someone is excess of aggressiveness, there is a reason always will be there. as it is said in a movie, it is always possible to find the reason. for example, why they killed prince hamlet who killed how, when and why it doesn't matter. the reality is that as a by john is trying and will continue to use the limitation process for territorial claims against armina. another such
12:23 am
a topic is the opening cove regional transport coleman. he cation links either by john is trying to represent armenia as a distractive site. in this discussion. the reality is that armine is ready to open its roads for us there by john, in the framework of our national legislation. moreover, recently did the raft decision of government was published that supposes to open 3 chip points in the border with other by john for implementation of the articles. 9 of the tie led to the statement from november 9, 2020. according to that trout citizens and gorgeous as our by john would be eligible to use the existing garage or via mania to commute for a main or by john. today. now he giovanni autonomous republic,
12:24 am
the armenian government, hot political will door unilaterally except that decision. but as it by johnny officials, tell us that they don't want to have those rules. what do they want? they want a new road to be constructed. it is also acceptable for armenia, but according to the 9th article of the trilateral statement from november 9, 2020, a new rule can be constructed with the course and of the sites. armenia is ready to construct such a root which would operate according to the legislation and with the insolvent control of the republic or vitamin. yeah. so what is the point of, as that by johnny claims either by john is hinting that armenia has to provide an
12:25 am
extra territorial corridor. and according to them, the 9th article of the tri little statement from november 9, 92020 is supposed to do that. the trilateral statement is a public document and in the night article that is nothing about corridor extended to reality, it's cetera. so what is the purpose over that budget? to create a new new crisis as a pretext for a new aggression against armina and for a new territorial claim. we have shared packages of proposals with as our by john on the topic of opening communications. and if i said it by john accepts that dos rules must operate according to nation, a legislations we can decide on these very quickly by the way, did trilateral statements from november 9, 20 to 20, and january 11,
12:26 am
2020. 1 implied that not only armenia should provide roles was there by john, but as anybody else would provide roads to armenia tool and we haven't received anything so far as for de corridor awarding, it is very important to note that in the trilateral statement from november 9 only one corridor is mation and it is the luncheon corridor for novel. no, kara, ladies and gentlemen, one of the crucial factors of regional stability in that is the comprehensive settlement of now gordon, or carbonic conflict. would the rights in the security over the armenians living in car, up now, gordon, or car about will be addressed and guaranteed latest aggression is happening
12:27 am
while the humanitarian consequences over the 2020 war in gordon, oak harbor have not made addressed yet. the post war, the, i believe vacation of now gordon, of car above the psycho social issues of the displaced population that it population of armenian prisoners of war and the preservation of cultural and religious hated. these are the main on the agenda of our government. nevertheless, the armenians in now gordon or car above are in need of the support of international community. we call to support the secure, an unhindered access or view in humanitarian agency in 2 n. just cease to now gordon or kyra in order to assess the humanitarian human rights situation and ensure protection of culture,
12:28 am
cultural heritage on the ground. we think that the office of the un high commissioner for refugees and the independent fact finding mission of unesco should have access to the now gordon or kyra above conflict. some, unfortunately, as our by john has been blogging bought missions by making artificial political preconditions essentially blocking the access of an independent fact finding mission in gordon or kyra. it is also reprehensible that azerbaijan stars the repatriation of armenian prison there. so war instead of alia, subjecting them to artificial trials, in gross violation of intonation, aluminum siding on the low it's own commitments, and contrary to the goals of the international community. mr.
12:29 am
president, ladies and gentlemen, sustainable regional of peace and stability is our objective. last fear through democratic snap elections. our people strongly supported the peace agenda of the government and confirm the commitment of armenia to pursue the democratic pat. it is very important to stab that the target of azerbaijan, the at bats, isn't only the independence sovereignty. antonia tauriel, integrity of armenia, but democracy off armenia tool. this pied to the expectation of some of some forces armina as faith, democratic after devastating war of 2020,
12:30 am
using the tool of free fair and democratic elections as a way out from internal political crises, international community unanimously. they can get eyes and praised this fact, the armenian democracy is trapped, struggling in an atmosphere when either by john is using force every they to impose its plas unilaterally to bring to the end, the armenians stay towards independence and democracy. but i am here to announce that we are determined to defend our democracy, independence. so in the end to tauriel integrity by all means, i want to underscore that diploma peak solutions are an absolute priority for us. and the full engagement and support of international community
12:31 am
is crucial in visiting god, i will black to mention that the international observation mission to the armenia as that by john board, that in k s would be an important factor for regional stability. undeniably in the, in the interests of regional stability and in accordance with norms and principles of international law, as or by johnny military forces must be withdrawn from the forwarded territory of republic or far mania. ladies and gentlemen, i want to stress again, we are determined to build peace in our region. but we need the full support of international community which will offend by the sober in and democratic country, and people subjected to aggression against the norms and principles
12:32 am
of international law. i believe in the potential of establishing long term stability, security, and peace. and armenia is committed to continuing diplomatic efforts to this end. i thank you for your attention. on behalf of the assembly, i wish to thank the prime minister of republic, reward me to spend listening to. i mean, his promise and a call passion. anne took him out, the recent up surgeon, violence in the south caucasus, in which hundreds of soldiers died after an incursion by as of, by john into i'm the armenia and this fighting came off to high level talks, took place in brussels, mediated by the european union of course, as a by john said they were on meaning provocations, which prompted this that claim has not been verified, but i witnesses described heavy shelling of military targets and civilian
12:33 am
infrastructure. and also in the town of germany, the civilian population had to be evacuated. so a great deal of concern about their slightest bit of tension in the region and following that was mike hannah joins us now from new york. and massa, by john's military action in armenia, is the fear is that it could, it could destroy any hope of that being a settlement. yes, the significance of the latest event of conflict a few weeks ago was that that was not within the disputed territory of a and i go in a car, but it was, in fact, within amina itself, we heard that from now minion and prime minister as that this attack took place within germany, a well known tourist area of armenia. this is the difference between the clashes that have happened before in particular, at that intense conflict back in 2020,
12:34 am
and the armenian prime minister, making this point very clearly saying that this in fact is an escalation. you have them as a, by johnny forces coming on to armenian soil at the same time, while harshly critical of these actions while calling for a un response to the attack or to the threat by us or by john as a prime minister also left open certain concessions on the part of armenia arguing, for example, that armenia was willing to open 3 checkpoints, at least to allow us a bi johnny access to its own enclave of a notch of on, within a media or on the close to the armenian border. so that is a hint of an olive branch being offered, but still the tone of what we heard that from the armenian prime minister, very strong indeed looking for some form of action to be taken against as a by john for its actions in
12:35 am
a recent weeks and also asking that access be given to united nations and health release organizations to knock on the car about saying that even since the fighting in 2020, in that disputed region, they are still massive issues that have to be addressed. and asking for bodies like the e u, u, and branches to press for some kind of access, some kind of independent fact finding missions to go into that disputed region. as it is a very difficult situation, there fighting cause flaring up between armenia and as a by john to former soviet republics, blaming each other for this up serge of violence just along the border. but for now, mike can a thank you very much. it was she go to iran now, and the president a brain raise. he says that mass protests over the death of a woman in police, custody and acts of chaos are unacceptable. intelligent ministry has won the attending protest is illegal, and demonstrators would face prosecution. well,
12:36 am
protests have been taking place across the country since last friday, when massa armine was detained by what's known as the morality police for the way she had been wearing a headscarf or had job. iranian tv says at least 17 people have died at during the unrest, but rights group say the truth figure is higher. internet access is now been restricted in some cities. and in response to, i mean he's death. the us, his and out sanctions against iran's morality police. it was looking for your more you, how affordable dear heart there have always been protests and we hear their demands . but there's a difference between roles and protest. nobody accepts right just, well yeah, do favor demonstration. the case policy or anything else in iran that we have freedom of speech, erica, we see on different levels. there are differences of opinion, that's not a problem at all, but when there is a raw, it is different than a protest. i mean, if i be a cody on the garden one because i'll v as an iranian american journalist based and
12:37 am
washington, she joins us live via skype. so iranian present in grammar, he see earlier, characterizing this unrest as riots as we were hearing in new york. there and then comes this warning from the intelligence ministry that those involved and demonstrations would be prosecuted. we likely to see more violence in the coming days and weeks. i think i am unfortunately that seems to be the recipe we are already seeing while as from security for the shooting of protesters, reports of death from protesters. and we have seen also this in the past in mainly in november, 2019 when protest were sparked by hiking fuel prices and spread to many cities across iran. we saw the state essentially bring down an iron fist. hundreds of witnesses were killed back then, 1000 arrested this time around. it also seems
12:38 am
a similar pass as being taken by security forces. there's also internet deceptions that are on limiting of access to social media, which limits protesters from connecting to each other and also sending images and evidence outside. so i'm worried and also not surprised to see more violence company. i want to ask you about the role of social media and all of this . how important is that not just in coordinating public protests, but also is a way of exchanging views and expressing ideas that could lead to some kind of shed ideology or, or specific aims. the protest? well, it's very important. it's in the absence of free and independent media and with a lot of pressure and jordan this, we're also hearing reports of some journalists being arrested one, some be political, i mean, pressured, i, myself live in exile because of my journalism work can travel to around. so social
12:39 am
media has been a very important tool for connecting for getting information and also for discussion, a platform for national debate and discussion about these issues. and also campaigns with the high skies were seen campaigns asking for solar already encouraging other iranians to join. so it's been, they important also for documenting the violence that's happening. it's been a very important, incredibly important and iranian protests. there's also utilizing it very much and they're very savvy in dealing then using these platforms and these tech devices. what do you make of the way the government is framing these protests? they say that it's a disruption to law and order. obviously that being described as riots saying that they're not peaceful and members of the security forces have died as a result of the violence. well, they leave no avenue for,
12:40 am
for these angry young iranians who are literally risking their lives taking to the street. first of all, the death of massa mimi in police custody is just something that brings us ra anger . a lot of women see themselves in math. many men see their own sisters, their own daughters, and my son, me, me and asking why she was even detained, to begin with, and then essentially died in, in police custody. and then they don't see transparency from the straight. it's, i also want to point out that this is grievance after agreement piling off. it's not just the morality police or the mandatory job. it's a political believe it says economic women says there have been protests over and over again in the past years and the state hasn't really addressed them. address the demands and the grievances for these young people feel no other avenue. but by taking to the street and showing their anger and also demanding the right dignity
12:41 am
and being for women being treated like equal citizens. ok. thank you very much. to appreciate taking the time, my god, my test. afy. thank you. now a hurricane warning is in effect in bermuda, as category for some fiona barrels towards the island. people there have been covering storefront since talking off on food and mortar, because of the islands. isolation preparations have been taken seriously that us national har. concentra is predict up to 10 centimeters of rain and large and destructive ways in stone. surgery and i had left a trail of destruction across the caribbean, killing at least 6 people, and some merging large parts of puerto rico. about 2000000 people on the island of puerto rico without power. get more in this now from money, rapidly choices from san juan. tell us how people are clothing, but it's not just that the power outage. it's also a shortage of food and water. that's right, mariam. and it's now been 5 days since hurricane unit impacted the island of puerto
12:42 am
rico, and some 2 thirds of homes on the island are still without electricity. it's hard to get an exact figure on that number, but by some reports we've heard as high as 70 percent of residents here in puerto rico are still without electricity. and we're not just talking about people in the southern part of the island which was worst hit by the storm where we are right now in old sun one, a very touristy kind of part of, of the island you can see behind us as it doesn't really appear to have been a hurricane less than a week ago. here you can hear that generator is going off all around us with many of the homes here in this area, relying on power generators for electricity. we've been visiting homes in the outskirts of san juan throughout the course of the day with people telling us that they don't have power, that they've been without power since sunday, some of them since since monday. and the common theme that we keep hearing from folks here in puerto rico is how could a category one storm that didn't topple power lines that didn't cause widespread
12:43 am
infrastructure damage lead to an island wide of black out. now we have reached out to luma, that's the power company here in puerto rico for an interview, for a statement we have yet to hear back from them. but what we are hearing overwhelmingly from residence all across the island, is that is a combination of poor management by the power company and in the antiquated power grid that's led to the situation. and unfortunately, there is no promise that the power is going to be restored to everyone on the island anytime soon. you know, we're looking at images, sadly that we have seen before from puerto rico of large areas that have been so much by water. and so what does that mean for people? very, they effectively isolated in console. what are they doing for things like basic good food and clean water? where we are right now in northern per rico. as you can see, it doesn't really appears the hurricane has just come through. that's because the
12:44 am
largest damage that we've seen, the worst areas are in the southern part of the island. we over the course of the last few days, i've been visiting several communities in southern puerto rico and the community of salinas. there are still neighborhoods that have flood waters on the doorstep of homes. and what we've heard from people there is that the storm caught them off guard. a lot of people tell us that they've lost everything. many of their homes were still being rebuilt after the impact of hurricane maria in 2017, which devastated the island of puerto rico. some people telling us that for them it was worse than hurricane ria, because hurricane unit dumped so much rain saturated the ground water and just devastated people's homes in that part of the island. now president joe biden has, as of as of wednesday evening, formalize that declaration of, of disaster, which means that the u. s. federal government will be freeing up more resources to provide more assistance to the island of puerto rico. hopefully, that means that people that are still struggling to,
12:45 am
