still some snow, they're cold enough. and also we're in toronto, added chicago, high temperatures. they're across the eastern seaboard, but cooling down by saturday, ah, join the debate. we know that the surgeon was empowered by them through the government and stained by the government. today they are the government africans count. security is also global. help security on it or online at your voice. there is no right to defense. there is no right to protest. we can't just keep relying on aid. there has to be some work toward a sustainable economy at the end of the day. it is ordinary objects that are paying the price. this tree anal dedira. ah. ready ah,

hello nick loud. this is in use or live from dough coming up in the next 60 minutes . schools and universities damaged in turkey and syria, how millions of students are being affected by last week's earthquakes. and i'm sammy's, a damn live from a donna in the southwestern part of turkey, where officials as they pick up the pieces of the rubble zone. trying to find creative ways to keep schools open. and students learning tucker's authorities cracked down on building contract as his anger grows over. why so many apartment blocks collapsed. i'm natasha going aim in or zene in her ty, province, not a single person died here, not a single building collapsed yet. people here are angry and scared. coming up, i'll tell you why. i,

we report from one of the worst areas in syria where aid is finally arriving. but many say the u. s. response has been to sla the us for coming up to mass united american owners that said a soft deadline of 22 g m t for bit us to submit proposals to buy that club. ah m. c. as we begin in southern turkey, when nearly 4000000 children in quake affected areas of facing major disruption to the education, schools and universities remain closed. many have been damaged while others have been turned into shelters. the u. n. is appealing for $1000000000.02 pay for aid that's needed immediately in turkey. it's also trying to establish temporary learning centers. it says sit also once $400000000.00 for those in affected areas in syria. the earthquake struck in the middle of winter. hundreds of thousands of people do not have shelter. food, water heaters or medical health. in turkey,

about 47000 buildings have been destroyed or damaged, including schools and hospitals. thousands of building contracts as a now under investigation. we have a team of correspondence covering the disaster across impacted regents in the southeast of turkey as well as northwestern syria. its cross straight away to a donna where we have some, is it a semi yes snake. as people go through the rubble of what's left off to the terrible us, you can probably see behind me the continuing examples that stand as reminders for everyone else. even those who haven't lost the home of just how deep and how destructive an event occurred here on february the 6th, at the same time. other needs are obviously becoming more pressing. critical infrastructure,

especially schools now getting attention and authorities trying to figure out now creative ways to try and keep the schools open and keep students learning. let me tell you the very latest decisions which the government has taken just before we came to where will they announce but families. they announced that earthquakes and the government will decide what exactly is going to happen with schooling in terms of face to face schooling as they call it here by march. the 1st, however, nationally, if you're at a school, midterm holidays have been extended. what they're saying is that in the meantime, families who are in the earthquake zones, if they want to, if they can, they can go to other areas, enroll their kids in other schools, universities, they're going to continue. the government has announced their education, but they're moving to online. why not? because infrastructure has been damaged, but also some of the schooling infrastructure is needed to try and house people who

have been displaced from the home. so you can see how much of a vicious circle this country is locked in and the infrastructure is locked in. where on the one hand you need the schools for housing, but you need the schools also for schooling. that juggling a lot that's going on hand talking about people who have been dis and put into schooling as that into schools as the housing we have joining us him. how much? well, how many nice to have you with us now? you were in that building just behind us. right? yes. i'm living the ground place. and when the earthquake hit you've now been moved over that to a school. right? yes. after remote suddenly in the schools. obviously the authorities are worried that your building is not very safe to live in. yes, because of the backside of our building. it's look as see very dangerous. and we had to leave our apartment buildings. and you are also

a student. you're studying your master's degree right? yes. and the my, my master degree right now i'm in my dissociation stage. ready so we break up right now as you cation stage. you're on holiday? yes, i, yes, we are rating the starting to education right now. so schooling and earthquake and housing are all connected. you can't live in your home because of the earthquake. you're living in a school, but also your studies are being impacted because schools have been also impacted by the earthquake. yes, it is very complicated. we can't do antic, it just. i'm very shocked. and every day i'm telling myself it. it must be a joke. it must be

a dream. i can't do it. i can't do descent. and think now because you're on your dissertation, does that hopefully mean the impact to someone like hugh is a little less than to your colleagues who haven't reached the dissertation stage yet? actually i couldn't answer that sir. titian. good. i mean you have colleagues, they are studying as well. correct? yes. and what happens to them if they are at the beginning of their studies with this break up our studies, we are waiting for right now or to passing this out there and just waiting. i don't know. i just, we are waiting for a getting school start. then just i want to a college this. i want to collapse this building suddenly. you want it

gone? yes it does. i why on to? because i want to get into what get my apartment on live in school right now on, on a boot you'll sleeping on a wooden bench. you told me yes. on a bez wood bench. i'm slipping over. ready on a boot bench it's actually it. ready the environment is really hot and comfortable, but it's not life or death. it's is broken psychology. you have food, you have heating. yes, we have food, we have eaten, we are not taken proper. it's not a problem. life in how tight and marsh so the authorities are looking after you. yes. yes. but still you want to go home. yes, i want to go my home. because as you know, it's not comfortable as your bedroom. it's not, it's not my home. i actually, when i get my home, when i filled it colt,

it seems like it seems like it's not my home after death. because correct all correct ground. it's not seems like my home. and the more can you study? can you focus on your studies when you are not at home? you are displaced right now. i can't, i can't. that's like can't because i 1st of all, i must i must be prepared psychologically. ready it i, i must get, get healed outside. come logically. yes. after that i can say continue to continue my study very quickly. tell us where you were when the earthquake hit, cuz you are not sleeping yet. i, i didn't sleep. or when or 2 o'clock curt creek get hit. i was

lying on my bets. i was trying to, i was struggling to fall. it fell into sleep. and then my chats, i started growling. she was just disturbing me. den air i. i heard some noise, a crack cracking noise, and then at 1st time i didn't want to wake up my family. if i told it can be a low power of both quick. you didn't think he was going to be a major hurt quite yes, identity, it must hit very hard then it, when i. ready reached the door. my family already i woke up and tried to reach door. then, then i get up a get out the building of the building. yes, it's suddenly solar energy alternating system dropped. it fell from the building.

yes. from yes. from the top, it's all almost 4045 meters from 4 to 5 meters. it can be, do i? and the people took his hat, you and 2 could cut into his. well, you clearly gone through a lot. you're clearly dealing with a lot. we wish you all the best guess michelle soon. i hope that you and your family managed to recover from this terrible tragedy. thanks for talking to us mohammed leslie's. thank you. but as you can see, the impact goes beyond and it's very in connected now between housing, earthquake and schools. as i said, beg report, some of those schools are becoming housing amid the destruction in this city. this school is remarkably still standing. now there's no lessons going on here. that's because the government has suspended education until the 1st of march. now across the 10 provinces,

there's around 4000000 students and 200000 teachers, a primary and secondary level. now the government says education will resume after the 1st of march, but that depends on the districts and school by school basis, because some of the buildings are damaged and they have to be inspected before students can be returned. now this building now is being used for emergent emergency relief efforts to help those that are left behind. hopefully there's no one left to go to school. a lot of people have died, only a few people are left to there's an easier to at least the schools have being used for a good purpose. now, education has been suspended and it will badly affect us. but i am sure the state will do what's necessary for our education. hadn't got food, water, blankets and clothes, but not only to the people that are left behind, but also the rescue workers, the relief workers, and the police who have been working tirelessly throughout this crisis asked rescue efforts begin to wind down. the government will be looking at how they can get

vital humanitarian aid to those people left behind. and because the destruction is so vast and because so many buildings have been damaged, they're using schools like this one that are still standing. no education is taking place inside, but they're using it as a humanitarian hub. and that's what the government will be doing in terms of looking at buildings are still standing that they can use to get vital humanitarian aid to those people that are left behind. that don't have homes are completely dependent upon the state and aid organizations to get bite a st. vague. i'll just either carmen rush, southern dorothea for roy roberts shore is the chief of education at unicef, kia office. he says schools can be both a source of education and a source of support for families in the most impacted areas. there's around about 4000000 children that are at the moment or not in school. and she naturally schooling a stock,

but we'll start again next week for the rest of the country. but in those areas, there will be a gradual reopening of schools. as in when the schools are in a situation where they can accommodate them. bearing in mind that the national ministry of education, as part of its response, provided access to families using a school buildings, dormitories teacher training centers as temporary accommodation units and oversee. we now need to get children back into school. there's also the issue of the many, many schools that have being either destroyed or cedric since severely damaged. and that requires some alternative means to be put in place preschool shelters. mobile classrooms are doubling up her shifts as schools run to shifts a day in some areas that accommodate the learning needs. i think it's important not to underestimate the lifetime impacts of not being in school, particularly coming back or t as a disruption from co it. but also schools play

a really important support for children. it's an opportunity for them to socialize, to discuss and engage in what they've been reading that been experiencing. i'm one of things unicef will be doing will be working with the ministry to make sure that psycho social support is also delivered in the school in the school environment. obviously, with a lot of buildings around the country looking like that. lot of people are asking questions about what building codes really followed and it's especially curious for people because as you can see exactly in that kind of spot and situation, well, one building looks like it's been sliced like a slice of cake, but next to it, other buildings are still standing. why is the question which bernard smith has been looking at with civil engineers? in the 1st 10 to 15 seconds of the earthquake, the dozens of apartment buildings here collapsed. those inside had no chance. they

were built before 1999. but here, every one survived. they were built after the 1999. that was when an earlier quake into a kia prompted a strengthening of building regulations. eunice catch mars a local architect, says 90 percent of the buildings that collapsed in carmel marsh, who were built before the new standards, were introduced hooliganism, eyes on the hertz, to seal this destruction. but i am angry to this could easily have been avoided. i've lost family members. everyone's affected by this is been proved once again that what matters is science. mathematics will never fail. even with such a massive earthquake, only 2 percent of the new buildings collapsed. eunice is low rise, office is the style of building. he says he wanted to see built here, it's more integrated into the earth. he says so more able to withstand shaking and swaying. 3 years ago eunice and his colleagues held

a meeting with officials to warn of the dangers of an earthquake. the chamber of architects urged the local council to evacuate all this area, demolish and rebuild again to new standards, but it would have meant up routing, thousands and thousands of people and hundreds of businesses there was never done. then the, with tens of thousands of amnesty is given by the government to people who build new structures that failed to meet the latest standards. instead of fine was paid, which just in 2018 and the ministry of environment more than $4000000000.00. so the okay, reaction occurs with facing immense pain here. jamil as does she met, she says he's a building auditor. so many variables can affect the strength of a construction. he says, right down to how a trainee builder mixes the concrete banana you can most and take you to bottom it . there's no one reason why a building collapses. it could have been the type of soil of fault in the construction plan of the engineering. the workmanship or something external. we have many buildings badly damaged by other falling buildings. there need to be

technical inspections and only then can we take the steps necessary for a safe future. although turkey as president, reggie piper one says he wants the 1st new homes to be ready within a year. the architects in this town woman to be built to survive the next quite bernard smith, al jazeera camera. all right. we've been talking obviously a lot about the damage cities that damage buildings. there are some areas though here which have not been damaged. let's go visit natasha renee now she joins us live from edison. natasha for days. you've been doing brilliant coverage for us, taking us through a waste land and another quite wasteland. but today you're in a place that doesn't have the sort of scenes that i've got behind me right now. does anyone have an answer as to why? well, what a contrast it is here, and there is an finally after days of being div into the earthquake zone here in

had tie province were seeing typical signs of normal life in a city resigned is population 43000. it's in a province at tie. province, as i said, which was devastated by the earthquake, 14000 people died in the province. yet here, not a single person died, not a single building collapsed, yet people tell us they are angry and scared. there are damage buildings here, and they say that many people are too afraid to go inside. the government had advised people not to go inside damage buildings until an inspector comes through and deems them structurally sound. a lot of people are living in tents and cars, and they say that this impression that ers on has fared quite well during the earthquake has meant that they haven't received aid and they say they do need aid. they need tense and some people need food. there are

a couple of factors to consider when asking the question, why did ers on fair so well when other areas so close? did not resign is about a 119 kilometers away from the epicenter of the earthquake. 40 kilometers away from a fall lines. for starters, that fought line did not shift during the earthquake according to experts, and then according to experts, there's a mountain that mountain between earth on and the fault line creates a kind of barrier. and you have the issue that ers on is at a higher point above sea level. the ground here is bedrock. buildings are on a more stable foundation, according to experts. which means in contrast to a place like on taca, where we spend a lot of time in that has been leveled in at lower sea level where they've been constructed, sand silt, clay. they're more vulnerable to the swaying that occurs with buildings during an

earthquake. and then you have the issue of building code compliance. this mayer and previous mayers have strictly enforced compliance with building codes and tried to ensure that car contractors use proper construction materials. there has now been national outrage over what groups representing architects and engineers have said for years was a disaster in the making. namely that the well known use of shoddy construction materials they say lacks regulation of building codes and government policies. creating the types of things that we're seeing exacerbating in their opinion. the disaster we've seen in 2018 the government. it was an election year offered a zoning amnesty to people pay a fine, and you could avoid complying with building codes. now president ur to one is saying that 90 percent of the 48000 buildings that have collab during this

earthquake were built before 1999. that is before the laws were revamped with regard to earthquake engineering readiness. also, the ministry of justice has, is conducting as we speak, an investigation and at about a dozen people has been arrested. but there are still a lot of people who say here and is on don't overlook us. yes, we have not had the devastation that our neighbors have had, but we are still very scared. bear in mind, they're feeling the more than 4700 aftershocks, that there have been since february 6th, because there's an has not been damaged as badly as its neighbors. it's become a kind of haven evacuated from other parts of the province are now here. we're told there isn't enough accommodation for them. they've been housed in schools. some are still staying and cars and others are trying to find a place with relative adding to the reason people here are saying don't overlook

ours on. we also need some relief with thank you so much. sure. that was natasha lame, live for us from artisan. of course this is a situation that we are talking about on a massive scale the earthquake zone. well, the size of a country, in some cases, a lot of money is needed. a lot of health as nathan. that's why the u. n. has launched an appeal for $1000000000.00 us dollars. let's go over the summer casa, all blue. she is in ankara with the a 5 headquarters that the national agency that's dealing with earthquake relief and a sign of foreign money coming in yet soon. m. well sammy, if money is coming from international aid organizations and international institutions, as far as we know for since yesterday the u. n. pledged 1000000000 dollars as

a funding to help 5200000 people who have been there who are living in the earthquake. it's a areas of course, are there are some other fundings coming from friendly in countries, along with your asian countries. nato is trying to help her with a accommodation, along with some her to kiss a friend, the a friend at countries as well. but besides that, there is also domestic money, donations voices. 2 days they go to kia, did to care, held a campaign donation campaign that was broadcasted simultaneously on every national, an atv station also, and northern cyprus and azerbaijan. t. v stations contributed that us and billions of turkish deer as were collected people and regular citizens, bankers, businessman, earth, every one tried to contribute on this. as all this money will be distribute to the

earthquake at area and will, will distribute to the people of these areas through a fat ah, national disaster management agency. the money is coming in, but of course are in it all. this money in needs to be distributed well and a turkish president in order to clear any question mark or in the minds of his people said after a cabinet meeting this week, that all this money collected will definitely be used for the earthquake victims, earthquake survivors. but of course, there is a huge works army in the field. our correspondence have been reporting here, almost earth from every city. and it just after a search and rescue for arrest, a rescue and search operation is complete. there are more complicated air processes that, that need to be conducted and rebuilding these areas rehabilitating this area and rehabilitating the people of this area is the greatest issue. some of the people

who were affected by door earthquake were brought to dormitories. not only in the surrounding cities, but also in cities like ankara is stumble and other places. and these people, as we talk to their responsibilities of this place as these people are still suffering. the children who are being hospitalized in the hospitals. they are screaming. everybody's still going that throw mine it is we're going to be difficult besides the money issue, psychological support issue in that area and for the people were ham, want to other cities is a very big step. and this is a long journey for the turkish authorities in order to hear those ones of those people. sammy mm hm. thank you so much center, cassandra reporting from anchor. and of course, we have to remember that there's a lot of damage and destruction across the border in syria to we can now go over to august test noon had to she is from san relief and development. good to have you with us for. so can i ask your general question about the state of schooling in

general in syria? hello again, how are you? i'm fortunate. i couldn't hear the question. can we repeat it? i'm very sorry. yeah, i was asking you, can you tell us what kids are facing and when it comes to the challenge of schooling there in syria, if it's hard to find a way to resume schooling here in to kia, i imagine it's much, much harder in syria. right. is that the assess that's for sure. i actually like before the earthquake disaster schooling have been the situation of schooling have been bad and see actually many kids like i'm talking about millions. i'm not talking about thousands, even in syria kids who are not even able to go to school or not reaching education . the education system actuation is serious. since before the earthquake happened, disaster is actually millions of kids who are not being able to get education or

get their m a reach schools and see the out. we're talking about 12 years of bomb being 12 years of disasters in syria. many kids have lost the ability to reach school or getting the education, or even get to school, like the infrastructure in syria, have been damaged or leaves and talking about schools, i'm talking about hospitals. and now in the earth, the quick the situation have been, have become, must, more did asked is actually for kids. so we are talking about an impossible, i guess. evan burger challenge for orphans a good chance to now have to go for 0. so someone has to find a way to try and cater for their needs as well as for their educational needs. exactly, actually before this earth quick, according to studies, there was 1000000 kids in syria who are orphaned actually. and now unfortunately, we don't have yet like solid numbers that i can say out loud,

but the numbers that i have reached me so far we are stating that there is over 10000 kids at least, who have either lost their mother other or both of their parents, kids are in a miserable situation in syria. they have seen a lot. i think they have seen it all in syria. these thought they saw bombings, they so chemical weapons, they. so barrels. i don't know what this kids do to see all of this. and now they are facing, they faced this disaster. if the quick kids, you know, they talk about the things that they must not talk about when a kid talks about war. when it gets talks about out with chemical weapons. when kids tells you what they have seen, i don't think this is normal. and kids now like i've here i've, i've heard stories from kids. i've heard stories from what is happening on the ground and syria. kids are in a disaster situation. i think they need like a specialist psychologist cycle. ok,

is it psycho psychologist who can help this kids at least you know, bleach to ela when they can have their normal or no, i don't. i don't even think that they can reach this normality, or at least to like there is a decent level of flight for those kids. i'm speechless. what it's come. tickets unfortunately, because that situation is miserable for those kids. they have seen a lot when i can now tell you that i sent the news older and 6 years old can too much, no doubt. one of the things i'm noticing here, test name on this side of the border is that authorities are quickly trying to sort out housing. you've got to get families into some kind of, well settled might be a big word too. but some kind of settled condition in order to start thinking about how to send kids to school and why they can go to school in a situation where syria, where millions of people have been, well,

they've lost their homes can. how can you start thinking about taking care of their educational needs? can that be done before you've sorted out the housing? like this is a very from a for like let me so we have like a host this earth to quick and after the quick so pose the earth which yeah, we were in a space for us like a santa day. we were trying to, to find for those get like it education and we were trying to, to, to educate the kids and, and let them go to school. and now there are many needs. actually now the needs are, are various and, and they are critic local not now actually in this moment in this moment for now we are talking only both critical life saving aids and needs. we are talking about people who have lost, like people who have lost their homes, who have lost and be loved ones, their families. there are until this moment in northwest studio we have over 5000

there. we have over 1200 the injuries we have. people still under herbal traps, we are talking in an area who have not reached into international aid or aid. we were like only see it in civil society is like us and the syrian civil difference who was working on getting people are up through the variables. i think in the international community or international organization must think about how to make those people 1st of all, survive this situation. and you know, when, when, when, when international organizations, since a sense of life such as cleaning supplies. i think i get, i'm speechless here. you know what we are talking about. critical lights, like saving aids, those kids when we, when, when i, when i talk, especially about kids, they have a lot of needs needs. they need

a place that is thinking home and to feel safe and warm like one thick come need. now at a place that they can feel safe. and it said now at food is any of the water is a need for them. those keep those kids need a lot and a lot of psychological support. i can talk about our selves. we are trying to do our best. this is not a no. we are providing kids with 1st. they take those supports. they are trying to do activities and entertainment for them, but this is not enough. good. kids are devastated. the situation is, is, is, is very bad. is surgeons devastate? think it's hard, it's hard breaking actually didn't thank you so much. test name, head toe for sharing that with us, even though it is a very heartbreaking situation that is important for us in the world to understand what is happening best. so thank you very much for joining us or as a, as i thank you. thank you. we're gathering from this live and from the reporting around. it's a very interconnected situation,

and this picture behind me ask you all to, to zoom in little bit. i think this background behinds me kind of sums it up. you have a building there, which is quite clearly severely damaged by the earthquake, but that doesn't then bear the buildings to on the well on your screen, right? those buildings had to be evacuated as well. even the ones where the damage were told was moderate, for fear of what's gonna happen to that building is obviously, you know, a threat to the others. where do all those families then go? where did the people goes from that severely damaged, building from the others in the neighborhood? they've been moved into a school further to my right. you can see. and then the authorities now have to figure out how to try and get the schools up and running, some of which are now being used to host displaced families. so they're extending holidays or thinking about distance learning, the thinking about enrolling kids from one school into another place and so on. you

can see nick how this process of recovery is not straightforward. it's very interconnected and it's very complicated. nick. sammy, thanks very much indeed for that. her sammy's at and, and our team on the enormous challenges facing millions of people in turkey and syria. ah, let's move on to other news done. world leaders a bt in germany to discuss global security policies. the main topic at the munich security conference. russia's invasion of ukraine. the conflict has led to the change in policies across europe, including commitments, to increase weapon deliveries to keep the 1st time russia and iran had not been invited to the summit. i'm to go cranes, president of rudiments. zalinski delivered

a video message to lead is gathered at the conference. we have to liberate ukraine and europe, because when the russian weapon should end us, it is already pointed at our neighbors. may your of be this subject of compromise? no, we have to liberate from roger's aggressive potential potential every international institution and ever is fear of the world economy. because because only only then there will be a chance for freedom to pass through our border further to the east or less cause. now to our diplomatic habits, james base who's been monitor events immune exec james, tell us more about what's been going on. well, president zalinski is the one who's opened the munich security conference, which goes on for the next few days. and it's worth reminding you, nick, you heard president lensky? they're speaking by video lane. cool. i was standing in this very position a year ago. and president savanski was here in munich,

attending the music security conference, and that was just days before the russian invasion. in fact, i remember watching the president lensky lead through the door behind me get his limousine. and some of the people i spoke to afterwards was saying they're wondering whether they would ever see president zalinski outside his country ever again. what course he has gone outside his country and he's still more importantly in office, in creve. and so i think that's why this address exactly one year on was very important, pretty similar language as we've seen from presidents lensky in his recent speeches . for example, when he spoke recently in london, in paris and brussels messages to the international community, to do more making the point that what is lacking here is speed. he keeps asking for things. it started with non lethal assistance that the west was giving. it moved to heavy a weapons then to artillery and now tanks. and now he's calling for fighter jets

for everything he asked for that, that there's been a long period of delay discussion. and eventually the west gives him what he wants . but he would like to see the delivery of weapons, speed it up, much, much more. ukraine will stay the top issue, i think, during this years munich, security conference. but it's not just was discussed here in terms of a sort of talk fast. it's also active diplomacy that sometimes takes place. on these occasions, the u. s. delegation represented by vice president kamala harris bought the u. s. secretary of state and the blinking is going to be here to as is the top foreign policy, official of china. wine ye, the state counsellor wang ye, given all attention over to one or more recently over the chinese balloon shot down over at north american air space. there is the possibility of discussions between those 2, which of course is something to watch very closely. or james, thanks, matt. james pays their immunity stuff. the agriculture industry has been talent by

supply chain problems, labor shortages and disruptions caused by russia's worn ukraine. it has resulted in high food prices and bless profits. now farmers and scientists are exploring ways on how to quickly adapt to change from reynolds reports from tudor in california, tens of thousands of farm and non farming families alike. visit the ag expo every year to check out the latest farm technology trade information and line up to chow down on huge gut busting steak sandwiches. farmers are accustomed to changes in weather and markets and prepare for them as best they can says. 3rd generation almond farmer, aubrey bettencourt awesome. a popular farm pod, castor and head of the almond alliance trade organization, that the end of the day at the farmer's ultimate goal is to provide a safe and healthy and reliable product to the consumer. that's what their goal and,

35 percent of the cash cost of producing those, the result, higher food prices and less profit for farmers. so the farmers sometimes can't pass the costs on to the consumer. they have to eat the costs of that rise in the fertilizer cost. the agriculture industry and it's scientific partners are usually quick to adapt to change whether it be new consumer demands. new technology or supply challenges already scientists in california are working on trapping nitrogen for fertilizer, from earth's atmosphere itself. rob reynolds al jazeera to larry california, and new zealand. at least 9 people. 9 to have died after cycling. real struck it's north island. police say more than 4000 people have lost contact since it hit 5 days ago. about 10000 people were forced to leave their homes into countries, was flooding disaster and decades among the dead or an infant. and a firefighter who was with a very heavy heart last night that we received the news that l needed. why fi,

that doesn't sport now and bid is interested in taking it matched united have less than 9 hours to submit their proposals. the glaze of family reportedly want nearly $6000000000.00 for the club, which is valued at around 3 and a half 1000000000 on the new york stock exchange. the tycoon malcolm blazer died 9 years ago, had taken a full control of united back in 2005, but shortly after that he handed the running of the club to his children chiu to his deteriorating health. so who could buy united? there is some of the candidates, sir jim radcliffe has publicly expressed interest. he's estimated to be worth more than $7000000000.00. he owns a chemical company in the us, a consortium of cattery investors. they're expected to make a bid with kat sports investments. officials assisting their preparations according to reports secure, so i of course own perry sanji man. there are also reports that private groups and

saudi arabia could make a bid. the country's public investment fund already owns 80 percent of you. coastal united we've been speaking to simon chadwick, he's a professor of sport and geo political economy, and he explains why taking over matched united provides more than just financial benefits to investors. united is now come to a pivotal moment. i think it's come to a pivotal moment for 2 reasons. the 1st one is it's very clear that the glazes and, and possibly u. s. private equity investors in general do not have the resources to be able to compete with the, the, the golf clubs and, and i'm thinking particularly here of manchester city, party signed your mile. but the 2nd thing is, is if united is going to grow it's revenues even further, it needs a new stadium. and so ask the glazes are going to take the club any further. they're going to have to make some very, very serious and significant investments in stadium infrastructure. but i also

think in terms of investment in the playing squad. and so i think at this moment in time, it looks like they want to cash out various tremendous soft power. no interested in the premier league in manchester, united specifically. but what's really crucial as well, i think is, is to, is to focus on manchester. i think as a city because as we seen through blue w ownership of manchester city, the investors from the gulf region have really use the club as a means through which to embed themselves through economic and political factors within the city. and so. busy of urban renewal, a lot of residential accommodation has been built by the government which has got for that position through the football club. so i think we will see the same thing potentially if we've, we've got saudi arabian, or catherine owners at manchester, united there will be a broader context possibly linked to local investment opportunities. and

a key detail of this, i think, is, is the, the british government post bracks. it has just recently announced that the river that runs from, from the atlantic pass liverpool all the way to solve it. pretty much a manchester united doorstep will become a freeport. so for those people who are familiar with, for example, that you belief reported you by, that's what the british government is essentially trying to create between liverpool, manchester. and so this potentially offer some interesting opportunities for, for golf investors because free ports bring with them economic and political advantage is simon chadwick, that well, most united were involved in a very exciting game on thursday. they drew against the spanish john barcelona, in europe, really or goals coming in the 2nd half and still in the 1st lake. it was her marcus alonza, opened the school bus loan then marcus was actually dead, continued his 22nd don't. was received in the level of the game run crossman to go

got one dismissal. and addison, 3 as you deal with dismiss for 300, the 6 on day 2 of the match and england. $79.00 for 2 at the claim that the lead of 19 out of a cummins is pretty impressive, isn't it? this is not really words to to express are impressive. it is but to be on the fair with them, it's is privilege for me and enjoying every moment of it. in tennis, kegof has failed and have been to reach the semi finals at the catherine the night before. seed was not taught by veronica could or with over the russian will now face weld number one. you guys wanted the last 4, but i'll be back in a couple of minutes if you haven't. ah ah, ah. ah
