which was very difficult ambulance to police everywhere. eventually police went on top of they called to tell people to move out the way and to evacuate. no one really understood why or what was going on. but clearly it's something terrible with unraveling. and i, i left the theme to go in the same way. and even in the subway, they would just so many people. it was clear that something terrible was happening in the wi fi, fi and brigade coming to the scene at the time as get more now from the listen kim, who is in. so for us, is there any update on casualties and those who are being treated for that injuries? as you mentioned, the number that is now 220 people and the

a 100 others have been injured in the wake of this tragic accident in it till late on night saturday, into sunday local time. and yet the number of death has been writing ref daily. each time the fire officials update the situation drop to night and the officials feared that though death toll can arise even higher as some among the injured my nuts. thereby, unfortunately, an ito where this happened is a famous entertainment district in sole with lots of bars and clubs. as the previous guests has mentioned, there were lots of people and the, there were a lot more people because it is the 1st hot louis. and since the country has emerged from the pandemic and the out, what happened was that there was a stampede in one small alley, and it got bigger and they, and number of people, stocky to full, and got trampled and crushed with some losing their cautiousness and rescue workers

and bill as they started to arrive at the scene shortly after and that they performed cpr on dozens of people in a be to resuscitate that them. and some fire fighters were on standby, indeed in the district, just in case an incident could happen. but they were no match to deal with this kind of major insta. so more had to be mobilized or crystal, and nearby sol as well. and various government agencies scramble to deal with the extent and hundreds of rescue workers and vehicles or more delays ada. just mention and the countries president has been also holding a series of emergency meetings to check the situation and also instructing his government to make sure all the injured can receive the treatment properly. now to place that sort of investigation center to find out what exactly has transpired to

night, and many people in the country are also staying up late tonight with assess. so big shock wondering how this could have happened on this the hollow in night. all right, thank you very much. all the latest room. so listen, came joining us that ah, russia says it suspending its participation in the un brokered grain export deal with ukraine after attacks on its ships in crimea. just 3 months ago. russia agree to allow exports from ukraine to resume, to stammer, global hunger crisis. a deal help bring down global food prices. on friday, the united nations urge the parties to renew the $120.00 day agreement, which was due to expire on november. 19th. will the united nations as a more than $450.00 ships have left ukrainian port since august 1st. they've

carried some, at 9300000 tons of food to countries across africa, asia, and europe. russia as it can provide 500000 tons of grain to poor countries over the next 4 months. but russia blame the decision to suspend the deal on a drone attack on its black sea fleet ships in the crimean portion of estoppel. early on saturday, it accused ukraine of carrying out the attack, which it said was repelled by russia's navy without providing evidence the crime and also claimed the crimea attack was carried out under the guidance of british specialists. your order of debility regime carried out a terrorist attack on ships of the black sea fleet and civilian ships that were on the outer and in a wrote states of sebastopol base. 9 unmanned aerial vehicles and 7 economists, maritime drums were involved in the attack. where your cranes for ministered, demitra calais, buzz, responded to russia, pulling out of the deal with

a tweet. he says, we've warned of what we, what we've warned of russia's plans to ruin the black seed green initiative. now moscow uses a false pretext to block the grain corridor, which ensures food security for millions of people. i call on all states to demand russia to stop it's hunger games, and we commit to its obligations hi for set joins. it's like now from keith. obviously, at the reaction there from the find minister, referring to russia's withdrawal from this deal as being a false contact. but is there any more information that was kind of an attack on its shapes? i will load motion officially coming from the ukranian government, a credit journalist put out this pretty extraordinary video, showing craft, apparently skimming across the black sea towards a russian naval vessels homing in on them. you don't see any explosions, but russia says only one. minesweeper was lightly damaged. there are on verified

reports that more damage than that was done potentially to the new flagship of russia's black sea fleet as well. and so this is something that russia says has prompted its decision to withdraw from this crucial grain deal. or however, it is worth noting that russia has been increasingly reluctant. it seems to continue with the deal over some time. it's been indicating its willingness to withdraw from it in various ways. it was talking about a potential view and investigation into its use of iranian aerial drones in its attacks on ukraine, saying that that might prompted to withdraw. it is know that russia has not been comfortable with the other half of the deal, which it said was to allow further exports from russia, especially of its fertilizers. and so this coming on this day, the saturday seems to have provided the reason that it might otherwise have been looking for. but this is something that russia is obviously protesting very

strongly against this attack are worth it is while the, the britain says it had nothing to do with either this attack or the, or the sabotage. as in nordstrom one and 2 pipelines under the baltic, at one other line to bring you a couple of other reactions, the united states is accusing russia weapon, ising food, or having accusative weapon. ising energy before and ukraine's president brought him, his vincent blood in his lensky has also been speaking. saying that a, that russia, that a few people within the kremlin, were dictating what would happen on the food to talk for the food of, on people's tables in bangladesh. and in egypt saying that it was going to affect food prices and availability around the world. this decision, i'm not sure if you've heard much about is high, but they're changing the kremlin that tell the county air attack was account under guidance of british especially said it, you know, obviously at moscow trying to strike a balance between and not wanting to appear weak but also claiming that it's under

attack at same time. yes, i mean it says that sir, british specialists based near nikolai of, in the south of ukraine were involved in the preparation. and the guidance of this operation is also claiming that britain was behind the explosions, the undersea explosions that we saw last month in the baltic sea, where we saw natural gas bubbling up to the surface from the nord stream, one and 2 pipelines, britain or the m o d, the ministry of defense, athena kingdom has called these false claims on an epic scale and is utterly rejecting this or with also saying that elsewhere the war continues both in terms of, of artillery going both ways as up to fight for the important city of course on in the south continues also more prisoner exchanges have been continuing as well. 52 ukrainian prisoners of war are coming westward and 50 going eastward. so the,

the war continues. but no doubt that on this day that, that the most significant development is this decision by russia to pull out of the great deal. all right, thanks very much, hazel said bring his overt lasers reaction from keith. also mike hannah standing by 1st in washington d. c. because this. busy was a deal that was broken by the international community. united nations was involved as well. mike, any reaction from them will as yet no formal reaction from the united nations. but what we do know is that the russian ambassador says the u. n. has been formally informed of the fact that russia is walking away from the steel. the ambassador is also called for an urgent security council meeting on monday to discuss the whole matter. well, it's not clear whether this will happen. there are a number of meeting scheduled on monday already. it will be up to the current chair of the security council or gabon to decide whether or not to let this meeting go

ahead. otherwise, it will be governor, which is taking over the security council from the 1st of next month. but it's important to note that the secretary general was already rating raising red flags in the past 24 hours. antonio terrace has said that all parties must abide by the steel which was due to expire on november the 19th. but he also said importantly, that western nations in particular, must reach, meet their part of the deal, which involves allowing russia to export its fertilizer and grain products. so the secretary general, already seeing some problems looming or russia quoting are the fact that it is not allowed to freely export its fertilizer and grain as one of the reasons why it's walking away from this agreement. but it's a very significant agreement, a very complex one, which was reached back in july. and now it seems that russia walking away from it means that the amount of grain that has been coming out of ukraine will no longer

happen at that was an amount of some 9000000 tons in the months since the agreement was reached in july. so a massive potential impact on world grain supplies our thank you very much. from washington d. c. my cana. just a quick update on our top story from south korea authorities. they're reporting that the data has now risen to 146 people. a 146 people have been killed under it and 50 and jet in that crowd crushed during halloween facilities at sadie. the expectation is that the death toll is likely to rise, given how many people are being injured, helping treat, if that injuries better. some of them are thought to be quite seriously wound it. a suspected suicide a time because rocks, somali as capital mark and issue police and state media say at least 10 people were killed when 2 car bombs exploded. a busy intersection. now government offices, the 1st law center, plumas smoke over the city. several minutes later, there was

a 2nd explosion, as ambulances arrived on the same gunfire could also be heard in the area where there are these reports that osha barbers claim responsibility for the attack. don aaliyah is a senior advisor among dish. she may or she has more on why the city was targeted. the location was really at the heart of the sure symbolic place the museum station was the cause of the clean, balmy. really, you know, a busy time i haven't used intersection. but again, you know, is using all this tactics to scare and make money in the capital. some of the areas are soft targets, just because it's used by the public. it is, they are located in areas that are, you know, part of the city central. so it's really hard to sometimes prevent these attacks,

but nevertheless, i think we have seen a reduction in the fact the last attack was that the hotel kayak hotel for nearly 48 hours. it just tells you that shut up is being listed out, but they are really a for us to be reckoned with them and it will take time for us to be eliminated from the capital. but the work is ongoing. now we'll see a lot of tax. i am sure just because of the ongoing government and community uprising that we are seeing across the country. it was al jazeera ally from london . marcella had on the program. and tropical storm kills at east $45.00 people in the philippines out to ranch, al, right, causes flooding and land slides. all set. i'm gonna have in south africa with larry nation

exports from ukraine to resume 3 months ago to stem global hunger crisis. and a suspected suicide attack as rock sumani as capital edition. police and state media say at least 10 people were killed when to call bombs exploded at a busy intersection near government offices. a getting reports this hour, that 8 people have been killed in an explosion at near a football field in the iraqi capital. baghdad, medical source is told al jazeera that 20 others were injured, but to the capitol. indeed, the whole country has been an estate of tension, instability and violence for many months now as a political stalemate, as a pretty much continued a year on since the election took place in that country. now east 45 people have died across the philippines after the country was hit by a tropical storm. now, guy made bland fall on the island of cut and dryness. torrential rains of triggered

landslides and flash rods submerging entire villages and halting travel on a below reports from manila. it was supposed to be a weekend of remembrance and relaxation filipinos traditionally walk to cemeteries this time of year to remember to see friends and families. but this cemetery, the largest in manila, was closed as to thread the probable storm. vulgar flower vendors were willing to risk it, but there was no business. heavy bela, yes, polemic. what i or federal high in point, i thought there was a pandemic, right? we really wanted to see how many people would have come here for the 1st time in 2 years. i see we're staying put because we have to guard the flowers bus terminals that would have been crowded with nearly empty. many of those who did decide to travel got stuck in ports with her and see travel also suspended to both tourism. the government has declared this long weekend the holiday tropical storm.

margie has hampered travel plans. the affected areas worse rescuer operations are employed through as entire villages are submerged by flood water. before the storm had even made landfall in the philippines, parts of the country were already experiencing heavy sound port for days. flash floods caught many in the province of but in the mail by surprise. rescue workers scramble to get those who needed help. but help did not come quickly enough for one village. crucial instantly became a site of fast casualty, and the after man was nothing short of catastrophic farm chief minister, a hood at an emergency meeting. on saturday president britton and marcus wondered how such a tragedy could have happened. well, what gosh, the flooding and, ah, margaret, indeed not why you weren't, they evacuated? no god, what happened and why so many debts?

government officials hope the death toll won't decrease significantly. but the storm size covered nearly the entire country. and as it continued to stream through the main island of bazaar through the sunday, it's difficult to say how much word devastation it will leave in its wake. barnaby though, al jazeera manila. now the head of iran's powerful revolutionary guard is one that saturday will be the final day of protest over the death and custody of massa. i me, me a saying felony issued the director of in the clear assign, yet that security forces will intensify. their cracked down on nationwide demonstrations and already been responding with island new nation, anti riot pallets and tear gas has been ongoing unrest in iran for 6 weeks. since 22 year old and many died in police custody in september, she was arrested for violating a strict dress code for head coverings. pro yes, no, hannah am. i'm talking now to the students who have always been pioneers and

fighting arrogant powers. what's happened now as a few number of students say, echoing the voice of the foreigners returned to the nation, don't turn the universities into the battlefield of the us against the nation. be careful because they want to deceive. you don't misuse the establishment. self restraint. i tell the few deceived women. don't be the cultural soldiers of the enemy. quit the evil actions today is the last day of the riots. don't come to the streets anymore. salami issued this warning during a funeral of people shot dead a shrine on wednesday 15 people were killed in the attack in the city of shiraz. i still claim to have carried out his attack during the funeral rally the crowd shouted at po, government slogans in a show of support for the authorities amid the ongoing unrest. dosa jabari has more from to ron. it's certainly raises some serious questions at this point. with the

main one being that as the ongoing protests that are now under 6 weeks, will they be coming to an end because of a further crack down by the security forces. as we heard from major general husayn salome, he said that this should be the end, whether or not his calls will be heard on the streets and in the universities is another story. we understand that as he was speaking and delivering that message in the city of shiraz, we saw a number of universities across the country and having demonstrations taking place where the students were chanting slogans against the government. what is not clear now is how much that will be tolerated after this point, based on what he said, it is clear that they want this to and as quickly as possible. what comes next is really a to anyone to guess at this stage. but i think it is very clear now that the tolerance that we've seen so far from the security forces, it will be ending in the coming days. the reports and the democratic republic of

congo that fighters from the m $23.00 rebel group, have seized the town of k one j in the east, effectively cutting north killers capital goma off from the upper half of the province. now some people told reuters that rebels entered the town without resistance after a short space of gunfire. countries on me as recently conducted strategic retreats from populated areas to move, fighting away from towns in order to protect civilians. tens of thousands of people in south africa, attended the official coronation of zulu king. mrs. italy caught villa tinney is the monarch of the nation's largest ethnic group. came to the throne in a traditional ceremony in august. i mean mila has more. from darvin pucca, mila missy's travel to durban, from johannesburg for what she says is a once in a lifetime opportunity. we never thought that one day as a nation, and yeah,
