that you can see why here, where we are right now, right next to this 10 city where we are right now when it has launched an investigation of around 600 people who are being investigated for what they call a corrupt building practices. when you come all the way through here, it's very common to seen grand new buildings that are badly damaged, so completely destroyed. they were supposed to be able to handle or to tolerate a nurse. well, that didn't happen. and the government has the pain around 180 people because of the practices among them. construction directors of construction company, property owners, among many others, including the mayor of this city whose from the president's party was also retained . and when you talk to people here many, they tell us that they celebrate that this investigations are being carried out. they celebrate that they want to know what happened, why they lost their homes, why they had saved money to buy
2:21 am
a building that was supposed to protect them from when earthquake. and that did not happen. and what they would like to know right now is, as i said before, when they'll be able to have a plan when they'll be able to know and when they'll be able to have a normal life. once again, or several 1000000 people are thought to have left the affected areas, presenting the turkish government with the huge challenges of a shifting population. mcbride has more on that from the city of less than a 2 hour drive west along the coast from the earthquake stone. the big port of merton was the 1st stop for many people fleeing the disaster in southern turkey. a nice thing is very different from other cities because it's the closest safe city to the disaster. ravia in the 1st space, it was quite frightening. he saw people all around the city with nowhere to go with their bags and with their p g m. i was on who last director is an academic and community organizer who has been helping the influx of newcomers with aid packages,
