the virus has been indiscriminate in selecting its victims. it's devastating effects of plague, every corner of the globe, transcending class creed and color. but in britain, a disproportionately high percentage of the fallen have been black or brown skins. the big picture traces the economic disparities and institutional racism that is seen united kingdom fail it citizens britain's true colors part to on al jazeera. ah ah. hello, i'm mary. i'm no mozy. welcome to the muse, our life from london coming off for the next 60 minutes. is spiraling death toll in turkey and syria. more than $26000.00 now confirmed to have died. those survivors

all still to pull from the rubble. search and rescue efforts, though, have ended in rubble controlled, northwest syria, and areas starved of aiden international assistance. also coming up the salad, pounding the pavement for full day in paris, one of many demonstrations targeting pension reform in france. and i'm finally homeless. now i have the latest on the final, all the fif, a club wall cub worry on the good have just won their 5th title, beating saudi arabia hill, hill. i 53 will be live in robert with all the action. ah to it's been 6 days since to devastating earthquakes took place, hopes of rescuing survivors in the rubble are beginning to fade. and on

a visit to the epi centre of one of the quakes. the o n. a chief martin griffith said it was worst event to hit the region for a 100 years. douglas present regime typo on said steps would now be taken to rebuild broken cities within weeks. he is denied accusations that building codes were not properly enforce. the disaster continues to raise questions about construction standards in the country. meanwhile, tens of thousands of people now find themselves about any shelter they've been sleeping out in the freezing winter. cold. state media has been reporting that 48 people have been arrested in the country for looting to german 8 organizations have suspended their operations, citing care see concerns in total more than 26000 people are now known to have died more than 22000 of those were into kia, more than 4 and a half 1000 in syria, though that figure is expected to rise. what happened here on monday,

rather than the epicenter of the earth, quote, was the worst event in a 100 years. in this region, we have a clear plan to morrow the next day to give an appeal for a 3 month operation to help the people of georgia with your mo, turn systems. and we will do some similar one for the people to serial. or we have a team of correspondence following the story. i said vague isn't as down bull. sammy's a done is in or doug iep. stephanie decker is at the syrian border. sam castillo glue is in the capital ankara, or so. soda is in cam on matt. ashley at the center of the 2nd quite. but we begin now with bernard smith, who's been reporting from one of the worst affected cities and takia. not seen you see behind me people huddling round fires, the heavy lifting heavy equipment, digging out rubble. that is not just where i'm standing, that scene is repeated all over the city to my left in front of me,

all the way down with all over the city, the destruction of antique is almost totally of an extraordinary, extraordinary sight. really, to seem very difficult to comprehend the scale of the destruction. hey, there are still people living outside. and there are still people that needs to be helped into some sort of temporary shelter tented shelter. imagine, 2 minutes of that quake left a 1000000 people homeless in this part of se, turkey, according to the government is an astonishing number, as well as some 80000 in hospital and more and hospital more going into hospital all the time. there are yes, occasionally very small glimmers of hope. earlier today here in this area, a 2 year old baby, a few hours it was called a lie from the rubble on a couple of hours before that. a man and woman will pull the life from the rubble. these are very, very, very, very lucky in increasingly rare. you can, we can certainly say that i'm seeing less and less rescue operations at the moment

. there are less of certainly today and compare compared with yesterday. they're certainly winding down. but there are people outside these buildings. people outside the flood and buildings with love, warm still inside, hoping that they'll be found because they haven't got anything else really. apart from that hope miraculously, nearly a week after the earthquake had ice, people are still being pulled from the rubble of collapse, buildings a search and rescue change work in a race against time or so. cider is at the epicenter town of carmano. marsh is the 6 day and the time is definitely running out. however, i'm just a little i go. we have been able to confirm that at 5 years old syrian girl has been taken out of the rubble and she was alive and just an hour later, another girl also has been pulled out of auto for the de robles and she also was arrived alive. so these are the, the, the real moments of joy at to day here,

full to families. and people around the city has seen so much dad, that definitely it needs such good news. and of course it's given also support go full to the families that are still waiting. however, the disaster is still on full. been here right over there. i'm not far from where we are. you can see that the rescue teams how off with a, a white blanket over there out of respect for the families, because now they are pulling an order that body. unfortunately, in the last couple of hours, there has been several people been taken out right after each other from the same location and probably it is a family and these are their family members. so these are the stories that are going on here just a little ago. i have talked to a woman, she says that they have varied already 111 brands and relatives

here. now source ease of detain. some individuals linked to the construction of buildings as i beg, joins me live now from s temple. what, what can you tell us about these arrests? overhearing the round 12 people have been detained, a rack the construction of these buildings. not 2 of those. here in istanbul, no one of those individuals magnet josh quin. he is responsible for the construction of a 12 story building and patio chad to run $250.00 apartments. and that building came down during the earthquake. now he was detained turnbull airport, who is getting ready to leave from one to negro. has some cash on him, which was confiscated by authorities now in his indictment for just beneath to the media. here he says that he's buildings follow the regulations that he doesn't know why the building came down. the has other buildings that are still standing and that he had followed those regulations,

but the public prosecutor has also put out detention orders and 29. other individuals surrounding the construction of buildings that questions are being asked of. the government are being asked of the government here around those building regulations and the standards of construction. now back in 2018, there was an amnesty around those building regulations. in some cases, people just paid a fine and experts had warned about those standards in the event of a earthquake. now those questions continue to remain in the government. deny that building regulations were ignored, but this question will continue to remain as the weeks and months go on and turkish present worship type. i. juwan has pledge to build quickly. he wants to start taking steps in that direction within weeks, but there are so many challenges facing the country now come to these reports of, of losing anal has been an arrest made for that to nearly 50 people arrested for leasing. absolutely. now press the old ones

spoken to cities in her ration order for now what she had pledged was to start rebuilding and cerebral to complete the building, or at least in a year's time to rebuild as much as they can. but there are so many issues as you say, across these 10 cities, the fil, a state of emergency around 50 people have been arrested. that president are the one want people not to take advantage of the situation. he actually said that if people wanted things from businesses that businesses would have opened the doors and allow people to take what they want. but what the government won't tolerate is people looting or creating insecurity under is that situation still evident across those 10 cities. but for the older one has close to clamped down on any one breaking the law. but as you said, 50 or on 50 people arrested for looted. alright, thank you very much. as i beg from istanbul, soley ozell is professor of international relations and political science at

a sample cadet has university, joins me live now via zoom. first of all, can i get your thoughts on these 12 people who've been arrested or detained over collapse buildings? what happens now, is there going to be a farrah free and independent investigation? well, that would be our expectation and i wish whether or not it will happen remains to be seen because we have had a similar situation back in 1999. when the western part of turkey was hit by a 7.4, earthquake hungary to scale, and particularly one contractor was picked up as the main culprit. and i think he was sent as to a 14 or 15 years old in jail, and then he got out in 5,

or he was the bogeyman as far as i'm concerned. first of all, obviously these contractors, i mean 1st of all, they're innocent until proven guilty. but they may have not followed the regulations to lecture. and that would be their responsibility, but they are not the only ones who would be responsible if such is the case because their doors to improve those plans. they are dos was supposed to inspect those plans. goals are there are people who give them the permits. so the bureaucracy and the end, the year, and a chain of bureaucratic procedures and people who are responsible to actually put their signatures on certain papers are also caught conspirators, if you will. should this be proven to be correct that they have not followed to the, to the letter. and so with all those people now be held to account, you have the contractors who are who run the businesses that are involved in

employing people in construction. they have the building codes and they have to follow those rules, but the has to be an inspection process and due diligence to ensure that that is happening and that, and that is in that is the responsibility local authorities, as it is the responsibility of local authorities and the local officials do you anticipate that they will be held to account in this investigation? the magnitude of this particular calamity suggest that there would be enormous pressure to hold them accountable as well. but if the, if the, if the court, i mean, i suppose everybody will hit the contractors and they would be easy targets. whether or not it will again, be it that the local authorities will still be proceed, remains to be seen. some municipalities, of course, may actually expose these people because in certain municipalities, the governor,

the ruling party, has changed. for instance, in hot day before the currents in may or there was a mayor from a different, from a different party. and he has been actually for 5 and a half, he is now active in appealing to the government to the up or to the appropriate ministry to help the city because he knew that really the city could not stand. and my try was he ignored. ah, well that's what that's his question as well. he said that he had for 5 and a half years. he has petition the ministry and the ministry didn't even bother to give him an answer. so does that mean that president ado on, in his government will struggle to i suppose, shield himself or deflect all the responsibility on all the other entities for those sure, critical. ready the government obviously will hold them responsible as well because our building codes or are tender. codes have changed over

a 150 times in the past 20 years. and there had been, as your reporter has said, there had been quite a number of amnesty. and of course all that made cheating, actually a very valuable thing because then you make a lot of money. you don't follow the code and then you actually pay a little penalty perhaps. and then you get away. ready with it and live right now, you get away with murder literally. well, thank you very much for joining us, sharing your perspective on this. certainly very much there in istanbul. well, the devastation has been overwhelming on both sides of the border in northern syria, thousands of families there now grieving and mourning the deaths of their relatives as well. al jazeera stephanie decker has been spending some time on the taki syria border. we came to the border to cover the resumption of aid into northern syria.

but what we saw was body bag after body bag being carried towards the border in the bag behind. clearly a small child. these are syrians who are killed in the earthquake into gear. he makes space for more, their families sending them back home to be buried. the smell of death hangs thick in the air here. within just a few hours more than 50 bodies, at least. no relative wanted to speak to us on camera. but this is a grandmother and her 2 grandchildren. a father came to bring his own children, look at them, he told us clearly in a days the youngest is 5, the other is 12. he said, it looks like they are sleeping. the bodies of 4 children are in that vehicle and they're about to be put into the truck to be taken across the border. they came

here to flee war and had to restart their lives all over again. many syrians decided to resettle here in hattie province, which is one of the areas that's been hardest hit. the man holding the paperwork, drives them across the border into syria. he also didn't want to talk on camera. he works 20 hour days. he tells us most syrians who fled the war will tell you that they dream of one day finally, being able to return back home. but not like this. stephanie decker al jazeera on the turkish syrian border. ethan, he is ally from london morsel to bring you on the program. we're going to be hearing from a midwife who is refusing to carry out female genital mutilation. instead on, she'll talk about why the outlook practice is proving so hard to stamp out. on his fault european charm, his real madrid, a going for the 5th of woke up title. be live in robots for the action.

ah. now in the eastern democratic republic of congo has been fighting between the congolese army and m. 23 fighters near the town of suck a 20 kilometers west of the regional capital goma. it comes a day off to m $23.00 fight is advanced. closer to soc a, wanting thousands of people to flee their homes, east african leaders of called for an immediate cease fire. our web is in suck a with the latest now. the army says it's now fighting with m. 23. about 20 kilometers m. $23.00 widely understood to be backed by neighboring one. the congress army said it's fighting rwandan soldiers. he up in the hell of everyone denies backing the group now on thursday when him 23 vices of taxes very close to saw k, which is just here. thousands of people as he mentioned sled along this road. and

many of those fleeting that we spoke to said that commonly soldiers had initially fled as well that before reinforcements were brought in and the attack was repelled are going to stand aside. so we can take a look at where we are. but the barrier put across the road, a bronze of a tree and the soldiers money checking every vehicle that passes. and every soldier that passes to make sure that there are no soldiers here, leaving the front line. who on authorized to say, what happened on the day when this attack began? now if we take a look to the left of here, then the 10 has been put up outside a police station on the hear, a military court is missing. and 7 of the soldiers hit the military, prosecutors, they fled country to their orders when attacked by m 23 the other day. and now being tried in the cool. meanwhile, further up in these hills,

mine for colton. it's a mineral that used in making jet planes is in high demand, and 23 fighters have controlled these mines in the past and the frontline advance in recent months they've got closer to these these, these valuable mines, whoever controls and done to make millions of dollars as well as always are following close seen israeli sat or his shot that a 27 year old palestinian man and the occupied west bank. according to loca officials. this happened during confrontations between israeli settlers and palestinians, west of the town of south it. a group of some 50 to 60 settlers reportedly attacked farmers and local residents in the area well demonstrations against israel's foreign coalition of entered their 6th week. tens of thousands gathered in tel aviv

to denounce the prime minister benjamin netanyahu proposals to reform the judiciary . he wants to limit the powers of the supreme court to give more authority to the government critic say the move threatens democratic checks and balances. netanyahu is dismissed the protest as a refusal by leftist opponents to accept the results of last november's election. alert more now on what's been happening inside turkey and syria. search and rescue operations have been concluded in series. rebel held area, but survivors are also struggling to stay alive because they're not getting aid in more than a decade. the old civil war is making relief efforts. difficult as an hunter reports, the search for the living has ended in northwest syria. it's now about removing the bodies trapped under the hundreds of buildings that collapse following the earthquakes that pitter kia and syria on monday. those who responded to the human

tragedy. say the world failed. the people in the opposition controlled enclave. the civil defense, also known as white helmets, said people died because repeated requests for rescue support. teams and heavy machinery never came. i mean, i have been deeply affected by the voices we heard from under the rubble. they were crying for help. in one instance, we worked for 4 hours before were able to reach a man, but it was too late. he died. destruction and devastation are not only in the opposition held areas in the north, but in heavily populated government held cities like a level hummer and latter kia as well. the united nations estimates more than 5000000 people are now homeless. when we evacuated people from all the buildings that dangerous shelters have begun receiving people and it's a new wave of displacement. already, there are nearly 7000000 syrians have been displaced in their own country due to

the war that began more than a decade ago. many are in the north, were 4000000, depended on aid before the earthquake destroyed more lives on friday, the syrian government said it will allow a to reach areas outside its control in what appeared to be a confession linked to a deal that involved waving some sanctions for quake relief, but so far it hasn't happened. the states opponents have long feared the consequences of so called cross line deliveries with the opposition in northwest syria. is afraid of receiving cross line aid for many reasons. but primarily they're afraid of their regime. holding that lifeline against them, using it in the future to coerce them into providing political concessions. 8th has started to come in from the bed, but how a border with turkey, the only crossing authorized by the un for 8 deliveries. the opposition says the international community should ignore objections from damascus and use more

crossings to ensure the constant flow of relief supplies. already the world food program says it's running out of stocks and the opposition and clave. we're more than 90 percent of people relied on aid before the latest disaster. santa hood or else rosita, were la, i mean, as a spokesperson at the u. n. i commissioner for refugees regional director for the middle east and north africa. she says that years of conflicts and syria have now made it very difficult to get help. the survivors, most of the agent has been going to north west 30 in the past few years. and even yesterday, does not go through the regime areas or what you call the regime various areas controlled by the student government. it goes actually from turkey and the united nations relief agencies like unity i had been authorized to send this humanitarian underneath. items like food tans blankets, all kind of really had been authorized to do so by the security council. so that's

what's happening. there is a mechanism in place that allows you to send this release into another country from turkey without actually that brutal officer in government. now it's unfortunately, the people here are stuck in a lot of politics, and that's why we call on people to put politics aside on everybody, the government, the opposition, the international community. politics needs to be set aside. we need to focus on the needs of these people on these people themselves. what, what kind of 8 do they need? how can we get them to them as soon as possible with as much as possible, and as many people as possible? because many of these people live, either in far away remote area or hard to reach areas either by the store. the snow storm that had hit the region or by the earthquake that had damage some boats or by the politics. you know, syria is there so many different areas under the authority or the control of

different people. and so many different crestline. we want all these barriers to be taken away and we want to be able to reach everybody that needs help. so many of them, and that's why the international community must step forward with a concerted effort to remove all these barriers and with support people and the support not just today, not just next week, but the next few months. the damage is so huge that people who need months to recover or stephen are opposite for me as i'm pastor at large level criminal justice, he is a signatory to an open letter to united nations. arguing that that cross border a to syria is legal and that the u. s. interpretation of international law is too narrow. he joins me from by land via zoom. have you got a response from the united nations to this? well, so far as far as the united nations is concerned, are going to use this, this one crossing that's allowed by the security council resolution that frankly

been not sufficient. it was blocked immediately after the earthquake. it's cleared up, but the only thing that passed through it or our trucks that were containing articles that were there before in the airplane. i mean, there's this effort to strangle and receive this area and use that tiny crossing to essentially starve and red miserable. the 4000000 people that live there. what's crazy about all of this, from a point of view of international law, it's across the border age, strictly, humanitarian particularly to people after a natural disaster, but to meet you man, a care. and he is allowed under international law by the international court of justice. we allow the russians to manipulate the system and say, oh, it can't happen without a syrian a rule or an approval is not required. there besieging or committing the war. crime of siege of civilian har, not for any military advantage,

simply intimidate the population and, and there's nothing to prevent from coming across other words. in fact, other border crossings are open, they're much clear, and n g o are making small shipments across them. and that out of continued to be the region to be player you're, you're currently referring to the life saving a that is coming through the talking syria border to reach over 4000000 syrians. and that is covered by the united nations security council resolution that has to be periodically renewed, but there are other border crossings. right? so, i mean, i suppose there must be negotiations going on behind the scenes for the turkish president because he is refused to open the all the crossings. so for those to be officially opened up between turkey and syria and then also for more a to be going through damascus to the northwest. well, understand,

i mean that the turks are permitting those border crossings to be used by n g o s. but the small amounts that they haven't made available. and when it comes to humanitarian aid, things the, the medicine, the food, the items for shelter that are so needed. that's where it's been coming up right for you and hasn't been sending anything of any back for the mandatory crisis. they had, you know, things like laundry detergent of it were being held for several weeks and that finally come through. so there's really been no international response to this profound suffering this 4000000 population. and in fact, the press now is, is for sanctions to be listed so they can come through damascus. we're frankly, as we've seen in the past, it's going to be stolen and it's not going to reach these people as a leak away. the un position is wrong. we never should have accepted it. that's where all the international experts say but, but secondly, you and they used to be sending,

using that wide open crossing that they are right now. yes. and humanitarian assistance are not using it, and there are other crossings, and it can be used as well. but people are dying, people are suffering, people are struggling even to bury members of their family and nothing has been provided for them. and in fact that, you know, frankly the government, damascus is using this to increase the suffering of its own population. what about western sanctions? the airport president by he indicated that the sanctions would not apply to any earthquake assistance. and frankly, the sanctions that exist always had a wide open humanitarian assistance, food medicine, shelter. those kinds of things have been able to get through the shelter, through the sanctions where the sanctions were trying to get to those people that are under causing the war that are causing the suffering. the millions that have been displaced, the 10s of thousands of the grand tortured to death. those people want to be

allowed to continue to do that kind of thing and to maintain power, to rebuild serial on the, on the property of people with its been stolen from their tortured to death. and so it's appropriate that they'd be sanctioned, but humanitarian isn't rock prevented by the caesar act sanctions or any other sanctions. and to the extent that it is, there is a specific, licensed united states president biden issued 2 days ago that says anything related to the earthquake isn't affected by any excellent sanctions. that there has been a wholehearted call for at this to not be politicized because of course, many syrians, minions, a series of suffering and terrible conditions before this quite took place. and this has brought a new emergency to them with very little aid heavy equipment. he'll feel getting through the board is and so hopefully hopefully the set might change. but for now, thank you very much for joining us. go to re record well as watchful spring you on

the program drank as president is no stranger to protest in his reaction to demonstrations as he heads north on the campaign. and in school will have the latest from the english premier league where the leaders have taken another stumble . ah hello, the weather is lossy set fair across a good part of europe, lots of try and quiet weather. i'm pleased to say even quiet down across central parts of the mediterranean now after a lively blustery storms, which caused problems just round some house of italy cross into multiple damaging winds and flooding rays as a barrier of high pressure. that's to settle zone further north, we do have bands of clouded gray slate and snow, just pushing in just around the top of our high. so the basin when she weather is

coming back into norway, snow there around finland, pushing into western parts of russia. but for many, it's fine and try tab, which is getting up to round stubble, figures i, which was west, most parts fine and dry london and paris retreat. 10 celsius sir for many or higher down to war, to se, about 10 or 11 there in athens. but it does stay cold into care, and that's going to be the case as we go through the next couple of days. well, down close to freezing when she, whether they're just pushing across the western side of russia dry, whether they're across much, if you move, when's falling light really, really quite pleasant in the sunshine, some showers, they're still lurking across the north of libya into a trinity or northern parts of algeria will grassy see some wet weather for western sahara. ah, debating the issues of the day, the 5 largest polluters that the world are in india,

jump into the street. they made their money on coal. they made their money on field convincing those folks know we need to go. green is very, very difficult, giving all of voice we chose to live because we wanted to escape warren violence. when you humanize this narrative, you allow people to really understand the reality. in breakdown misconceptions, the stream on al jazeera, when the news breaks, when people need to be heard and the story told incredible that more people angel o kills this is new z, ukrainian custom with exclusive interviews and endeavor through poor durham, lost more than $2000000000.00 of that might, could have addressed night, judas, go and buy. the professor in widespread al jazeera, has teens on the ground to learn to bring you more award winning documentaries and lied, loves router to free. ah

ah, welcome back to look at the main story this hour, a turkish present regime typo tuan says that work will begin with in weeks to we build cities destroyed in the earthquakes. meanwhile, tens of thousands of people have been left homeless and without shelter. and then state media is also reporting that 48 people have been arrested for looting and to german 8 organizations have suspended their operations sizing, security concerns. let's say 6 of the rescue operation and some people are still being pulled ally from the rubble. but the number of people known to have died has surpassed 29000. i was 0,

sammy's. a don has been speaking to survivors in our dia, one of the worst hit towns in the earthquake. it's a really cold night out here, as you can see, and some of the displaced the having to do well whatever they can to stay warm burning. basically whatever they can get their hands on. i'm over there. you can see your rubble building. well, that's the reason why at least some of them are out here right now. that was their home. now, the having defends themselves to a certain extent, help is reaching them. we've just seen some meals delivered and so on, but it's a cold night. going to ask me if i can warm up here is an abilene, my son has talked to him and he has a chalk. so walk shall not silly. assure sooner child i was asking her to really cold night. how is she living out here?

yeah, mccloud evolve, evolve. yeah, that's funny. and that kinda funny little will some of the buffy talk? she could. okay. julie to kim is totally about a lot in is audrianna about shadow. mimic at letter that was that was my 1st choice. i was asking her about her relatives, she's got relatives still in that robin building. we hope of course, we hope for miracles and we hope they'll be able to pull them out. but this is a very difficult situation. and when you hear statements by united nations, officials talking about an overwhelming devastation. well, this is one overwhelming devastation looks like. and this is one overwhelming devastation on a cold night. feels like level 7, several powerful aftershock since mondays are quite tremors,

also being recorded and neighboring countries. experts, a calling from a quality control to reduce risk in the quite prone region. sam, co c o. glue has more in this now from ankara much we continue seismic feta. vital input to measure earthquakes. it is monitored process and assess and we have time here at the turkish disaster management agency. turkey has had some 5 major seismic fall plants risking 71 percent of its population and 6 to 6 percent of its landscape, the largest. so those triggered to stronger earthquakes on monday, causing death and destruction in the east. and while we're speaking were shaken twice by tremors above 4.0 magnitude. this is part of life here. now. harlem after so simpler no longer the off, off 2 shocks are, were 3 points quite before martin to deceive him up as 16 will continue for much

longer north we are re evaluating the magnitude not dimensions of the affected area . earthquake in line with the information from our field to you to go to this amazon. what we see is a much bigger disaster premium to supply to the alt, yet for the other. this means the damage tractors can still collapse, while other risks like snow for a white earthquake hit airs. this lie, map shows all earthquakes that whole occurred since monday is devastating tremors. just in 15 hours on saturday, turkey has experienced 330 earthquakes, and the country has been jolted. 2305th, the 6th time since what the turkish president called the disaster of the sentry, shows you margaret, is your what mother you're a girl ought not, no need to be stern or exaggerated. why say this is the biggest tre calling you on that? so on point for magnitude was approaching was area, you know,

i'm paid attention world as scientists say you can't resist nature but build earthquake resistance said is a joint responsibility of the state people and the local administration's seen em casala al jazeera and clara all the nuclear walks dealt chief raphael cross, he has been visiting moscow. he's been holding talks of the head of russia, state nuclear farm, rasa tom. they discussed the situation at ukraine's apparition nuclear power plant and they've agreed to continue working together to create a safety's own, their repeated shelling of the plant, which is now controlled by russia as raise concerns about the potential for nuclear accident. live in more protests in france against proposals to raise their time in age. thousands of people turned out in paris and many more across the country. after 3 days. if nationwide strikes french media reporting a 10 out of hundreds of thousands present, an annual microns pension for pans would raise the retirement age from $62.00 to

$64.00. andrew simmons has moved from the protest in paris. this is a 4th day of action, and right now there's a battle for hearts and minds. opinion polls consistent in around 70 percent of the country supporting this sort of action 4 days ago. the numbers were reduced according to police, that it's hope by the organizers is going to change here. for example, in paris, rail workers haven't been striking to allow the metro and other lines allow more people in. furthermore, right across the country, we're seeing people in provincial towns in bigger numbers now. so emanuel micron does seem to have a major problem. will it subside? it's unlikely people are hopping mad about the retirement age, for example, across europe. it's a higher age, but the people here say they will accept nothing else but 62 years of age to retire

protested in the south. this is to reach out to the time the community has its roots in the civil war of the 19 eighties and nineties, montana, tigers took up arms against the government. the community said it suffered unfair and unjust treatment by the sing. alea's majority. the tigers were crushed in 2009, which led to accusations of gross human rights violations by the military. vicar missing who is dealing with a major economic crisis is under pressure from the international community to address those wrongs. earlier in the day, the president attended the ceremony to dedicate atamo cultural center gifted by india mer farm. am i, let's get together and go on this journey to rebuild the school and country. then it will be everybody's country ahead of his visit. the president ordered the return of 40 do hit as of private land taken over during the war. some of it's still

occupied by the police, military and government institutions. roger sacon em thunder man's land was part of that return. his property was occupied by the army, which he says filled his patty fields and built on it. we asked him how the occupation affected families like he is very, very badly know they are. one is more land them are there and are any other houses or anything there in dog over the street from here they're going sladen blindly do tournaments family has on the property. still under military control. president ronald vicar missing her, open the culture center behind me. and he's promising to address the longstanding grievances of the thomas, including implementing the 13th amendment of the constitution, which would give them great autonomy. this drew immediate brutus from the buddhist clergy who have opposed the amendment from its passage. those watching the developments in the north are skeptical that autonomy is within reach. how is some

going door handle the protesters? how is he going to tell them what they are doing is wrong at a time. he's being challenged for other reasons. right. so it's going to be very difficult for him to, to do that. 36 years after being introduced. the constitutional amendment is still an issue for many here. tamara said their leaders must be willing to go beyond it to truly address their grievances with their fernandez or g 0. jeff? no, no. then she lanka, how residence of new zealand, larger city, oakland, bracing themselves in the arrival of site on gabrielle in a region that is only just recovering from severe floods. strong winds and heavy rain warnings are in place for the north and island. gabrielle has been downgraded from category category 3 to category 2, but it is still packing. winds of over a 150 kilometers an hour. oakland is still recovering from flooding 2 weeks ago. that killed 4 people and damaged hundreds of buildings. far as here now,

but the sport ah and he very much a maria maria madrid bit. saudi arabia, l. hillen and the 8 gold thriller to in a record extending 5th club, but woke up title and robert denise is a junior opened the scoring for the european champions in the 13th at minute. the brazilian went on to net another one in the 2nd half can embeds him. i also got on the score sheet and his return from an injury. say that equal val where they also score the brace for the spanish champions in their 53 victory. we can now go live to andy richardson, who is in robin for us, where the final a took place. andy, it was a high scoring game and i'll hit, i'll put up a great fight. but did reale ever look in danger of losing this one?

no really they always know that that extra gates a set up in see mentioned that some of the goals scores finishes junior, the money school, the winning goal and the champions league final in paris. last the last year against liverpool getting a couple of goals. they always look to just have a little bit extra and you look at the, the coach, they have color and she'll say he's just the manager that knows how to win big titles and big finals. no manager has one more champions. league fun of him. he has, this is the 3rd club will come cycle now to with rail madrid and one with ac milan and the bigger picture is, is out of complete european dominance. really in this tournament, when it was relaunched, the club will cut after its full run of the intercontinental cup, came on, and brazilian teams did win the 1st 3 additions. but since then, now it's 15, wins out of 16 competitions. the european teams and really the, the financial superiority that european clubs have at the moment is played out on

the job is tournament. and you've mentioned that the europeans have dominated this competition. do you think in future asia or any other region can rival europe's best teams? well, i mean if that is both the question about for joining francine or the see for president wants to test out with his plans to expand the photo and say 630 james and 2025. the problem with that is that the european team state is a threats at the champions league of financial threats to their future as well as is perhaps money is more evenly distributed around the world. so whether or not that sort of an ever comes to fruition, we shall see. it was interesting talking, listening to robin b as to the how, how coaching to build up to this final talking about the ambitions. saudi arabia has an individual country to really sort of compete on a global stage and saying, obviously that it has the resources. it now seems to be the appetite to develop its

domestic game and see we have chris john, rinaldo with, without massive. but at the moment, when you look at the house payments starts, it's not sure they had a lot of flash from a saudi right. the national team involved. when you look at the forward the international fight as they have been not absolutely top sir. so in the long term perhaps, but at the moment the club will cut really reflects that the state of will football and that is one of europe in dominate. and you've covered so many for club woke up and how successful was it for the host? a moral co it's a big deal for me, or it's a testament to their existing infrastructure that they were able to take on this phone on a pretty short notice in fancy, you know, on the awarding them this competition at the end of december, for their emissions phone and here they posted this sort of now 3 times, but the very came to bring the forget cup of nations back in 2025. and this,

remember is a country that's fed by followings is a record for the world cup without success. it's getting ever more complicated to host the world cup as an individual nation. now that it's going to be expanded currently 40 a teams. the obvious solution perhaps in north africa, would be since a host with algeria. but politically, that is not possible at the moment. the other possibility is for them to go into a bid for 2030 with portugal in spain. but when you start crossing confederations and confidence that becomes complicated as well. and morocco is an individual nation. hosting 48 seems really difficult, but it's in a country with huge ambitions to carry on hosting big international tournaments. and it's a live from robert moral cook. thank you very much for land to an eagle leaders. arsenal. have dropped points for the 2nd week in a row after beating, after being held to a drop by a branford, the ad mertz last knows that new signing lender facade escort. his 1st goal for me

car set aside in the 66 minutes. but even tony equalizing with a head that to secure a 11, draw for the visit in branford. the gunners still leave the table by 6 points from champions. manchester city, who can cut arsenals, lead to 3 points if they win on sunday. yeah, you want to win as quick as possible we wanna do in today, but usually how difficult is for every single team to win consecutive mathewson. and that's when you look at the table. the amount of points that they have is is for a reason. so you need to be excellent and everything you're doing in their matches and then doing research on this issue as to when your favorite as well. and it's that are things taught them have fail to build up on their impressive victory over man city. they were humiliated for one at lester. it was a miserable day for manager antonia county who has returned to the dugout after gall bladder surgery. we took not in the sir, in this league, or you cannot turn off and you have to be cross. houston enola the

part of the game and we struggle a lot of the after the 1st go and we are disappointing for the in the early kickoff, expand as chelsea was taken on at west ham, my shout, he lakes opened the scoring at to put the blues one know up, but soon after it was cancelled out by emerson plan, larry chelsea were controversially denied and a penalty is they were held 2 of 112 and it looks quite humble to me, but again, look, so those at the, the no thomas could get down easily and save us, it's a good to good start from him. but again, it's not for me to say about very are it's payable while you to you all because a human beings does not the while the human beings a different cute human being in the, in the, in the room and every single decision,

every single action that you all get the same one again. so it's very hard to get consistency. it's super all weekend with the philadelphia eagles taken on the kansas city chiefs. her parties by fans. was he tons of avocados, crushed into guacamole on my pillow, huntsman, mexico's me to a gun states own to some of the most productive, all the cato orchards in the world. but meet your kind is also home to several criminal groups to pose a threat to the livelihood of avocado producers, truck drivers like his susco dead or say they're not strangers to criminals on the road, looking for an easy target. was done with gum. yeah, they would rub out trucks to steal the fruit, and sometimes they would steal the trucks to. that is the danger on this stretch of road. to curb the problem, state police now provide escorts for trucks carrying all the condos between the orchards and a shipping facility in the city of wood weapon. while the encroachment of criminal
