6:03 pm
. we are talking about an unspeakable tragedy. i thought to day a 1st and foremost with the relatives of the victims, a duty is to treat the wounded and from there to identify the bodies. from there, one thing i can guarantee we will find out the causes of this tragedy and do everything in our power to make sure it never happens again. people have been chewing up in lisa, central square for blood donations. as after the accident, rescuers worked on a mangled mass of categories. the impact of depletion destroyed several carriages. others were burnt in a fire following the crush her, but i'm a girl, obama will summer. we heard a big bag 10 nightmare seconds. we returning over in the wagon until we fell on our sides and until the commotion stopped, there was panic cables, fire the fire was immediate. as we returning over, we were being burned. fire was right and left. those made it out a still trying to understand what happened. google scurried on
6:04 pm
a little more people naturally was scared, was very scared that they were looking around searching. so they didn't know where they were was on our logo. a station master has been arrested as investigators try to establish how to trains came to be on the same track. michelson, sharif al jazeera will as get more on this, now were joined by christian walner from london, his a specialist and transport, and the author of a series of books on the railway history. very good to have you with us on al jazeera when we look at the pictures of this crash, it looks as though these a 2 trains on 2 different track. so from what we know so far, what do you make of this? how can something like this happen? well, my view of it from looking at it, of course, this is the pure speculation, was that they must have me on the same track. this is a double track line. so this is to be no reason why they should be on the same
6:05 pm
truck, but unless there was a derailment just beforehand that they must have been on the same track, which is while they're inexplicably inexplicable. given this is the main line between the greeks. 2 big cities is overseas quite heavily used and what has the question, you know what the state to the track was, what the state the sigma is? what the state to the electrification is. all these are questions will investigate mr. mama, what do you know about the state increases railway system? well, i, it said a pool, a state. if you remember, 5 years ago there was a big crisis. financial crisis in greece and the european union imposed all sorts of cuts on various state are den prizes of which the railways were one that was even talk at some point of the closing down old passages services rather strangely . the greek services have been taken over by the attended railways,
6:06 pm
which are also stay toned, but relatively efficient and experienced. but what doesn't seem to have happened is that it hasn't been any investment in the sit in the railways, and that seems to be a shortage of staff as well. and that's always crucial in terms of safety or very worrying the e u agency for ran way says that europe has one of the world's best safety standards when it comes to rail. but progress has been very, an, even across the united states. the significant variation in safety levels. well, i think you have to look at this historically. it doesn't, you don't have to look back bullet 20 or 25 years when this sort of accident was taking place regularly on most ways across the world. and now it harms technology so much more emphasis on safety. this is a rev event that he's liable this program talking about it if something happens
6:07 pm
pretty rarely. but as a european agency stresses, there are great garages in safety standard across europe. and certainly some of the . 2 networks in eastern europe, a much less safe than those in western europe. and as you mentioned, this is not something, i mean, you said this is something that we saw a lot more of 20 years ago. but in the last 20 years, we know of the financial problems that greece has gone through and that you mentioned. so this could be a result of the cost cutting the party, but i'll stare it. he measures the country has been through absolutely in 2 different ways. one, as i mentioned that the staff that they've imposed cutbacks on stock ways which basically endanger safety, but also because the cutbacks are made to that. so i haven't looked properly at the same ways. maybe they would even kind of cut some vital parts of the spectrum
6:08 pm
regime. that sort of thing. could this could have been caused by berkeley? well, we don't know that's, i mean, and that's maybe why it was on the, on the same track. it might be wales were very unclear about that. i don't understand either why station mouse appears to be arrested. the station master generally are not in charge of the signaling or anything like that. so again, maybe the signaling a broken down in this area and it was sponsibility of the station master to see through the trains of all those questions and investigator. yeah, absolutely. station master arrest, a transport minister has resigned. we thank you very much for your time on this question. while my, your time and your expertise, we do appreciate it. thank you. moving on to other news now, and the israeli army says it's detained to palestinians and accuses of killing an israeli american. on monday,
6:09 pm
they were held after israeli forces rated the arc about java refugee camp and the occupied west bank a short while ago palestinian medic. so there were multiple injuries during the confrontation of violence has been escalating across the occupied territories in recent days. meanwhile, israel's finance minister has tweeted, saying the palestinian village of hor, water at the center of the latest tensions should be destroyed. we'll get more on that from emerald con in west jerusalem in a moment. but 1st let's go to neither abraham. she's joining us live from jericho. neither this is at least the 2nd incident that i've heard of in this refugee camp in the past month. what can you tell us? yes, the refugee camp is just a few kilometers away from here. we've been standing here for the past 2 hours and there was a checkpoint that was preventing palestinian cars from exiting jericho as part of the blockade that has been imposed on jericho since mondays is the attack that
6:10 pm
shooting that killed and is wally american. just a minutes ago, actually the soldiers have allowed palestinian to come out and you can see the amount of cars that feel like they're free. now they can leave after many told us that there were sat there for hours and hours, some even left their cars or were trying to walk by foot. so this was after and is really raid that was carried out by under cover unit to the app. but job it, refugee count, they say that they are a cell that was responsible for shooting and killing. and his radio american man on monday was arrested. according to paramedics. they tell us that the person who was injured during an exchange of fire between the israeli forces and the palestinian, the ever armed men. he was shocked in the abdomen and as paramedics were trying to conduct cpr on him, the is ready forces, told the paramedics to stop and to give them the man. now according to these really defends minister on twitter,
6:11 pm
he says that they were arrested to palestinians in relation to the attack on monday, according to palestinians, at least 6 palestinian wid. 5 arrested by the israeli forces. 4 of them are brothers. and as you mention, it's been a tense situation here in jericho that is usually known as a relatively calm city. but we've been seeing over the past month, new groups claiming responsibility for shooting attacks and the latest of which has killed one israeli american. and neither do we know if any of this was addressed at that meeting between palestinian palestinian and israeli leaders back to placing jordan along with american egyptian representatives to com. tensions the words palestinians are using to describe the meeting that happened in jordan on sunday. is this an illusion? they say that they don't have any hope that these meetings are going to be leading
6:12 pm
to a di escalation. on the contrary. money are saying that they're scared that what's happening in these security meetings is just one way of ensuring security for the occupiers out rather than ending these rating military occupation, which it's activities on the ground to have been only on the rise deterioration for palestinians. we're talking about $66.00 palestinians were killed by israeli forces since the beginning of the year, and we're already in the 1st day of march. so that could give you an idea about the level of tension here at the level of escalation and palestinians. we're hoping that after israel rated nablus and killed 11 palestinians, most of them are on arm civilians. we're just going about their daily lives there were hoping that the palestinians would not attend the security meeting as a way to show that they're standing by their people that they are protesting. the israeli continuous raids on palestinian cities. but they would tell you that they
6:13 pm
feel that the p a is only interested in its existence and continuing, it's a rule over or let's say some aspects they're not ruling fully their westbank funny ways. palestinians would tell you that they don't think that israel is interested in ending its occupation. we're seeing the manifestations of that occupation here in jericho and in elsewhere in the occupied westbank. never thank you very much for that. mid abraham with the latest live for us in jericho and the occupied west bank . let's bring in m ron car. now his life horizon, wester russo them and adding to these tensions and ran israeli lawmakers according to the palestinian village of ho. would settlers attacked following the shooting dead of 2 settlers to be deleted and burned to the ground? that's absolutely right. the 1st of those comments actually came from is if go further, we'll get to that just in a 2nd. but it was the justice minister, a smart trade, who was asked in interview with the mark of his this daily, ah,
6:14 pm
why he liked a tweet calling for her laura to be deleted. and he says, because i agree with it, i think it should be are there was then a follow up question and he was asked, will you what you've said in the past the israeli shouldn't take this into their own hands. he said, no, i think the state of israel should destroy a laura say he doubled down on his comments. now that's interesting because he's the, the, the finance minister, but he's also a minister in the defense ministry. i'm in charge of civil administration for that . what i mean is the military occupation of the occupied westbank to have ac, a very senior minister who's in charge of some affairs within the occupied westbank for israel calling for a destruction of a palestinian city that's incredibly inflammatory. it's the rhetoric is been tampered up to a point where many an adolescent people just out in the street talking about this a thing while we've never heard anything like this before. now the other guy i mentioned earlier is have got fogle, he's
6:15 pm
a member of the connecticut. he actually said that earlier in the week is roles is rolled, a closed burnt laura. that's what i want to see. the only way to achieve deterrence after a murder like yesterday's, we need a burning villages. when the i d f doesn't act now. he's under investigation now from the attorney general. ah, and the police, which means a given that a justice minister smarter also said something similar that he may will be under investigation as well. we don't know that yet. we don't know how that will play out whether they may just ignore what he said. but this all comes as israelis continue to protest and for the 1st time in tel aviv, we saw aid anti judicial reform and he did this will change protests being broken up by rightly thanks spoke to a friend of mine who was out that protest. he said, i've never seen anything like this on the streets of tel aviv. we're used to seeing this in the occupied where spike and occupied is jerusalem. but this is,
6:16 pm
is writing right police against peaceful israelis breaking our demonstration up. so there's a lot of tension in the air and it seems to be spilling over. and ron, thank you. that is in mon calling with the latest in west jerusalem. we have plenty more head on the news hour, including a look at life and 5 russian annex mario pal afterwards. devastating mom's long siege class will have the latest on the earthquakes and took care when president edwin has made an important announcement. adams for action from the n b a is the milwaukee box. when again, that's coming up with pisa. ah, to nigeria, now with the electoral commission, has declared governing party candidate bullock maneuver as president elect. the opposition is called the election election fraudulent the only early morning
6:17 pm
announcement came off to opposition protests against the electoral process, calling it a sham. awkward address reports from a boucher timothy bola image of the a. p c. haven't satisfied the requirements of the moral this year by declared the winner on this returned elect. oh, jubilant supporters of the governing party celebrate victory in her 3rd election. their candidate, 70 or old boiler material now has the task of trying to calm. i divided country. i so i did so my fellow contestants delagarza the mom, the guy that is
6:18 pm
and we are fortunate is declaration was boycotted by the main opposition. political party representatives who accused the electoral commission of concluding to rick the vote. the opposition, how strongly criticized the electoral commission for failing to electronically applaud election results right from polling units. this essay was a deliberate attempt to rick the vote election officials. however, i've told them to take their case to court, but it's something the opposition isn't entirely happy with judicially said to be the last hope of the common man. it is saw in all doubt matters. bought in political matters. sorry to see the judiciary snow the last hope of the common man i hope and pray that the judiciary we leave off to the responsibility of being the last hope off the commer. this election has deeply divided nigeria is we have no doubt counter it. i'd like to do. all we need to do is to gary,
6:19 pm
every good of you that i grieved. don does fight. don't put this. you have any did to brother go to court is back on monday our, our ali done is not our monday morning. actually we will have to walk to night a fractured country in addition to dealing with its numerous economic security and social crisis. for now, the streets of the capital and many other parts of nigeria are come. the next few days will determine whether they stay that way. how much edris al jazeera, a butcher? well, let's get more on this. we're joined by bolen les o'conny. she is in nigeria and tv host and documentary filmmaker. and she is joining us live from lagos. very good to have you with us on al jazeera. you have been saying that the selection wasn't free or fair. tell us what you're basing that on. so you know, when we're talking about what a free and fair election is, or a free and fair election, pretty much means that people have the right an access to vote. they're able to
6:20 pm
vote on saturday. what we saw was a lot of people were disenfranchised from ins. the body that was conducting the elections, the work is organized. they were not with the logistics of actually conducting new actions. so this meant that for some holing unit, i know it didn't arrive until afternoon. a lot of people came out to vote. so imagine in some pulling units you have over a 1000 people and i know it was not able to allow all those people to vote. so that's, and it's just one example. when you say it was not a free and fair election, okay, were disenfranchised. so the national law electoral commission, or i nick, has your you, according as they have been monitored by international observers from the commonwealth and the commonwealth have listed some deficiencies including what you are saying off on of election officials of materials showing up late among many other issues, but they
6:21 pm
a saying the international observers that these do not amount to an election being not free, not fair, and that the whole process has not been mod at all. what do you say to that? i say, 1st of all, we're not gonna judge and base whether or not an election is free or fair because the international observers set. so the international observers, they have their own reasons for saying that because they don't want to undermine the niger and election. we, the nigerian people with all the evidence that was out there, the violence that disenfranchisement the fact that i nick did not show up on time. the fact that i next still up to now has not uploaded the results at least 50 percent of the results. one to the portal, the fact that we saw places where people actually change the results, canceled it out. and these results are not tallying with the results that people collected and took pictures of because a lot of nigeria keep pictures of the final results. so the international community, they're more than welcome hughes to make the decision that they have by saying was
6:22 pm
re unfair. but we, the nigerian citizens, a lot of us do not agree that it was free and bare. and there's evidence to prove that the violence, the fact that people were chased away from their pulling units. we have videos of people, thoughts coming to steal ballots with police escort. oh. and nothing has nobody has been arrested. how can we call that a free and fair election? it's not possible. they have also been a lot of videos circulating on social media and nigeria. that fact check as including at the bbc's disinformation team have said, ah, not from this election ash or are from years ago. do you think that there is or do you acknowledge or believe the b, b, c and others fact checking reports that there was a lot of misinformation on social media surrounding surround in the selection? i am a huge. i absolutely hate fake news. i work in the media and i know how dangerous speaking uses a lot of the things that i saw. i made sure i fact check them. not only that,
6:23 pm
i know and how people who were at poli unit and the actually showed video where they came and they got at the ballot boxes. it was when the military changed that they were able to go ahead and vote, but there were other pulling units, like, for example, in the more states where they can, i, nick never showed up. i know it didn't show up, but yes, the uploaded results. how does i like explain that to us? so do those people? were they ever able to vote? that's what we're seeing or a thing that there was no communication, but i knew all these questions we had. i next that one. press release, that one. press release that we understand that there were issues, but you know, we're going to have to go ahead and continue to correlate the results. and after that, anybody that has any issues, you can take it up with. a lot of people were disenfranchised from voting. the numbers are not telling, and we're asking for ionic to respond to the issues that were, that we've raised well on the international community. yes, another movie as much as we appreciate their support. we're not going to use what
6:24 pm
they see to verify whether or not our election was free and fair. but on the other county. we thank you for your time. joining us live from lake austin. thank if ah, i'm not talking as president reggie 5 at the want has indicated presidential and parliamentary elections will go ahead on may 14th as previously announced, there was speculation. the vote could be postponed often last month. devastating earthquakes that killed more than 45000 people there. let's go to a correspondent, rob mcbride. he's joining us live from no to baggy. that's one of the worst affected areas into a care. so rob, tell us what the situation there is for the survivors and the how people react in bed to news that the election will go ahead. i'm as planned, it is a this, that something that's even on the radar given this situation.
6:25 pm
yeah, that's right. so this is one of the camps in this town of no dar that say has been heavily damaged in fact, so much so that the mer here has promised to completely or demolish the town. i have to rebuild from scratch. it's evening here. people have been settling in for another night, given the proximity to the syrian border, this quite a large assyrian population and has been announced today by the at wednesday, by the head of their turn to key is military that are now around 42000 syrian refugees have actually now crossed back into syria. this remains an ongoing issue here. the question of buildings and building safety continues to dominate, as you would might expect. here the mayor of the ist and bullock from emma marlowe herself. spoken, saying that there is a need to strengthen buildings into key s larger city. there have of course, been extreme fears of effort at similar quake happened in istanbul. what the impact would be announcing that building will be strengthened from as early as next month
6:26 pm
. and to announcing that around a $110000.00 buildings have already applied for checks to make sure that they are strong enough. just finally moving on to that question of the election, their president heard and seeming to stop any more speculation about this election, will it go ahead announcing that yes, it will happen on may. the 14th there was speculation with comments that he made, that he wanted a full year of rebuilding and did that that may be taken as a possibility that he might delay things. well, that doesn't seem to be the case by his statements made or wednesday. those mixed reactions here about that are taking place, sir, but there are lots of critics here of the government action that has taken place after these earthquakes. other people saying that they voted from to one and believe his or of his statements that there will be rebuilding and would vote for him again. and yet other people telling us, you know what, it is still too early to talk about politics. we are effectively a community still in morning. we don't want anything to do
6:27 pm
a with elections at the moment. robin bride joining us live from nevada. thank you for your time from now civil society group and syria is calling for an investigation into the united nations over the emergency response asset. al ashy is one of the activists calling for accountability. he says that you ends reaction to the quakes on slow and inadequate. the u. n. has failed. williams, the u. n. has left syrians to die alone for at least 72 hours and the most critical 72 hours post post europe quake un dark, was not activated answer rog was not activated. those are 2 mechanisms available for the u. m. to respond to, i could ask your fee of the scale of an earthquake to allow to mobilize international rescue teams to respond to
6:28 pm
a good aster feed area and have not been used by the well. so although martin griffith are offered his apologies, unfortunately his apologies are not going to bring people who died under the rubble still ahead on the new. so i'm john henry in in illinois, one of 32 states. we're starting today endemic era supplemental federal benefits to stop pan. find out how was trailer dominated india on day one of the 3rd tests that's on the way with with well the wind is unsurprisingly, so blowing plenty clad across patagonia with rain and start to boot. but if you come north of that and it's the sun is being dollar once more,
6:29 pm
and the breeze not particularly strong, is going to stop temperatures going up to significantly above average in a good part of argentina and chilly once again. this is the recurrent theme in the north, wasn't here, thunderstorms li, attractive up and the other parts around the river plate. this line here is rather more sees no, not so big. thunderstorms is still there for the concentration of the keys for the north in brazil, or in french gonna. so emma back across to ecuador, this is a rush shout, none particularly heavy, but the risk of flesh funding landslides is still, they're generally caught in central america. kelly sherry stuff in costa rica. it's been very hot in mexico recently and it remains that way for the most part, which is a bit of an odd thing really because coming down from the west coast of the uses, no winter storm, which will not tempt his back considerably. in the mean time, you've got that feet of moisture producing shares in the southern states and snow blizzards. indeed in places like utah and arizona. and although that's still there
6:30 pm
and you tongue arizona jr, exist at least california sees the sunshine though it's still cold. ah, every 3 days, a woman is came in, the murder of women and unprecedented levels of domestic violence have shopped easily to the call. the violence is more violent, violent men are young. why does it keep happening? and what can be done to stop it? this is not surprising. i want my daughter an older daughter, payton. that's not the country i want with me. i missed it. here for me is very simple. the question of power on al jazeera women, ron micro businesses are key to center goals development and to improved food security. access to finance helps them succeed since 2014, nearly a $180.00 micro enterprises,
6:31 pm
collectives and small businesses across synagogue received concession to refinancing. these loans were made possible by an initiative administered by the q right good. will fund the q 8 fund partners in development. lou ah, watching the news al, with me it is with quantum and dog ha, reminder of our top stories. the sour israeli army has rated the ac about java, refugee camp and occupied west bank can detained 2 palestinians with accuses of killing and israeli american. on monday, palestinian medic say they were multiple injuries during the raid. missouri as governing party candidates bola to new has been declared the winner of saturday's
6:32 pm
presidential election opposition parties called for the vote to be cancelled. quoting the process a sham and the greek transport minister has resigned following a train crash in the city of nevada. at least 36 people have died and dozens have been injured. the government has declared 3 days of national morning. well, let's get more of this. our correspondence, john. so up a loss is joining us live from the scene of the crash net deresa. what's happening there, john? well, as you can see, the heavy cranes have now arrived and their lifting pieces of car passenger tre, passenger cars, away from the scene of the wreckage. there is, however, still a ongoing search and rescue operation. hope has not been entirely abandoned of finding possibly more people who are injured and alive in this wreckage is
6:33 pm
unbelievable. as that may seem. although it does seem unlikely. a 194 people were transported alive and well away from this scene overnight. a further 72 are hospitalized 6 of them, critical. but it's been many hours since any one has been retrieved alive from this wreckage at the moment. those cranes are lifting, they're trying to lift the side of one of the cars as you can see. and as we mentioned, john, the government has announced 3 days of national morning. i mean, how people feeling there, especially given this was a train between 2 of grace's largest cities. well, i don't think that this has metastasized into political feeling, yet there is an arch forthcoming election in some time between april and july in this country where there are political consequences. as you mentioned,
6:34 pm
the transport minister has resigned. this is probably the worst transport disaster, the country has experience since more than 80 people drowned in a ferry accident in 2000. so it's something that, as we can see from the presence of the greek and international media here, is drawing a lot of attention. and i've spoken to people across the country already today who absolutely stunned by the news. it is incomprehensible to people how this train managed to collide head on with a freight train or in a to track situation where they should have been traveling on separate tracks. after so much money has been spent at least 2000000000 on modernizing the section of track between athens and facility, which is the country's main money making route. all of these questions remain to be answered. what we do know is that the layers of station master has been arrested.
6:35 pm
he has been deposed before the lyra, sir prosecutor, and he is going to be charged with manslaughter. but we don't know if the trail of evidence ends there. and john, just while we have you there, would you be able to ask your and camera operator to just show us a little bit more of what's behind you so we can have a look at yeah, so if my camera can just pan to the right, i'd like you to see how this train slammed into the oncoming freight train, just as the passenger train emerged from a tunnel which runs underneath a major motorway. ah, this must have obviously come as a huge shock to the train driver who probably didn't have time to put on the brakes coming out of the tunnel. he, it's unlikely he would have been able to see what was coming from the other side.
6:36 pm
and remember this happened overnight, so in pitch blackness, there must have been chaos in the in the passenger cars. we are told by the mayor of larissa that the temperature in the 2 forward passenger cars reached 151-202-1500 degrees celsius in that kind of fire. the metals of the passenger cars themselves were melted and twisted. we don't even know for sure whether all the remains of the victims can be pulled out in recognizable form as human bodies or whether many of these passengers were cremated where they were killed as an absolutely have as a tragedy. john, thank you very much. our for bringing us the latest from larissa there. thank you. not to the u. s. where the federal bureau of investigation has said that
6:37 pm
a leak from the bar tree in the chinese city of wu han, it's likely cause to close in 19 pandemic. the comments by the director of the f b, i follow a wall street journal report for more on this, let speak to kimberly, how could she's joining us live from washington dc. we've heard others in the us government say a new to this recently company. so how significant is it coming from the director of the f b i what makes this significant is the fact that christopher re the director of the f b, i is really the highest government official in the u. s. government to come out and publicly make this assertion that this is the result of a lab late. the origins of covered 19 and not what was previously sort of the accepted consensus that this was in said a result of transmission from a public market from animals to humans. and so this comes on the keels of the fact
6:38 pm
that this is also with low confidence, a conclusion from the department of energy. so what you see is a shift in the consensus. i'll be it still, this is only a small number of agencies in the u. s. government, but it is accumulating from previously one theory to now the sort of growing support towards another theory that this, in fact was perhaps even a deliberate act on the part of the chinese government. now this is something that the white house for it's part has been very, very careful to swat down, or at least say there is no consensus in the u. s. government. in fact, earlier this week, the national security coordinator, or rather advisors spokesperson john kirby was very careful to say that there is no consensus in the u. s. government. in fact, joe biden has passed a whole of government approach to find out exactly what those origins are. and
6:39 pm
