7:02 pm
a crash happened on the line connecting athens to the northern city of tesla nikki, just outside the city of larissa, emergency teams are still working there. or mickelson sheriff reports the worst trained crash grease has ever seen. it happened after a head on collision between a freight train and one carrying passengers shortly before midnight on to stay on the line connecting athens and northern pass selling a key. many of the 350 people on board, the passenger train, a sector of been students, greek prime minister, kitty acost mitzo talkies was at the scene even as the search for survivors continued poorly. we are talking about an unspeakable tragedy. i thought today 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 to everything in our power to make sure it never happens again. dozens of people stood
7:03 pm
in line to denay blood at the hospital in the central town of nasa. as after the accident rescue workers worked on through a mangled mass of carriages. the impact of the collision destroyed several cabbages . others were burned in a fire following the crash. but i'm a girl, obama will summer. we heard a big bag 10 nightmare seconds. we were turning 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 who made it out. a still trying to understand what happened. google scurried on her drama. people naturally was scared, was very scared that they were looking around searching. so they didn't know where they were was on all ago. a station master has been arrested as investigators try to establish how to trends came to be on the same track. uncle, some sharif,
7:04 pm
under sierra, a correspondent john throttle us is joining us live from the scene of the crash and a john or emergency team still searching for survivors. hello, elizabeth. yes, they are. if i step aside, as you can see behind me, some heavy cranes are lifting sections of passenger car away. it's not clear if those sections just broke apart during the collision or if they're being sown apart in order to avoid the need to move entire sections of car just in case there are living passengers wounded passengers still inside. and we saw earlier that the crews proteins him generator lights. so we expect that this work will be carrying on through the night. but it seems very unlikely now, because they haven't, that will see any more survivors because they haven't been any more wounded living people. drone pulled out of this wreckage for for some hours or so. if
7:05 pm
the passenger list that the mayor of larissa a gave us earlier, 348 people is correct and you subtract from that the healthy living people that were passed away overnight and the wounded who are being seen to in hospitals in the north here and the 40 confirmed dead, 36 of whom have been, i to sorry say 36 of whom have not been identified. that would leave you with a potential 42 people still in the wreckage. unlikely at this point to be alive, giving you a possible death toll of more than 80 at the end of this process. but we're not there yet. there is still some hope. and of course, a death tone like that. i mean, even a death tone of 36 is highly unusual from a railway accident and you at what about in greece, is how unusual is such an incident in greece.
7:06 pm
there hasn't been a train wreck with this level of fatality, certainly in living memory, but i don't think ah, this century i've never heard of such a thing. there was a terrible boat accident in which a passenger fairy drowned more than 80 people 23 years ago. that was the last, ah, equally horrific accident that had the entire country in disbelief. and there's a similar feeling now to, to that incident then why, how could this have happened? why aren't safety procedures working? there are still so many questions to be answered about why a passenger train and a freight train ended up in a collision course on a track when there were 2 tracks available in this section of the line. but this is a broader issue. elizabeth ver,
7:07 pm
hellenic train operator that runs the trains schedule and books, passengers and, and actually does the, ah, the offer, the offer, the operations side of things rests on infrastructure that is owned by the greek state. and it's the greek state's responsibility to keep that her infrastructure modernized, well, they've spent the last 20 years electrifying much of this line, building double track sections here and there. but there isn't a double track section all the way from athens to the northern city of the seller, nikki, which is the main line across the country. and that is a real problem because there's now high demand for space on that track for freight coming from the port of paris, bound for thee a balkan hinterland and is now increasing demand for passengers space. because under e u. pressure grease has privatized its railways,
7:08 pm
and it's now licensing operators not just have to train their other operators as well, who are buying space on this truck to run both phrase and passenger services. and it seems to be unable to provide adequate infrastructure with adequate safety facilities for all of those privatized operators to run. john, thank you very much for that. john's roblis with all the latest joining us live from near larissa. let's move on to the news now that israeli army says it's detained, to palestinians that accuse us of killing and israeli american. on monday, they were held off israeli forces re to the about job a refugee camp and the occupied was bank a short one ago palestinian medics. they were multiple injuries during the confrontation. violence has been escalating across the occupied territories in recent days. let's bring it on, call us on to me that abraham, she's joining us live from be about job a refugee camp in the occupied with bank. and this is at least the 2nd incident in

7:19 pm
2 bigger cities is oversee quite heavily used and what have to question what the state of the track was, what the state of the signal is, what the state of the electrification is. all these questions for the investigators . first of all, what do you know about the station races, railway system? while it said a poor state, if you remember 5 years ago there was the big crisis. busy financial crisis in greece and the european union imposed all sorts of cop from various state or den prizes of which the railways were one that was even talk at some point to bursey closing down old passages services rather strangely. the greek services have been taken over by italian railways, which also stay tone, but relatively efficient and experienced. but what doesn't seem to have happened is that has been any investment in the, in the railways. and that seems to be
7:20 pm
a sort of stop as well. and that's always crucial in terms of safety or very worrying the agency for railway says that europe has one of the world's best safety standards when it comes to rail. but progress has been very, i'm even across the u. member states, the significant variation and 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 railways, across the world. and now would it hans technology much more emphasis on safety? this is a rare event, but as the european agency stresses, there are a great varieties and safety standards across europe. and certainly some of the. 3 networks in eastern europe, a much less safe than those in western europe. and moscow has promised to rebuild
7:21 pm
money. oh poll, mom foster, the russian army destroyed large parts of the city in one of the bloodiest battles of the war and ukraine. it's in a region that was and next by russia and september, the sullivan, java has more for moscow. this was once a busy wiping city, with cultural buildings like this famous drama theatre, now damaged and peppered with bullets and bomb fragments. russian forces won the battle from audio after more than 18 days of intense fighting. and now they want the people of the city to move on from the sky for to rehabilitation. by 2025, the city should be rebuilt according to moscow's more your pl reconstruction master plan. it wants the population here to go to half a 1000000 people in the next decade, by rehabilitating a 1000000 square meters of social buildings. the russian state plans to find a complete replacement of the city facilities, including a railroad station, a port tram lines, and the airport well,
7:22 pm
rational different definitely. it's right to take this territory into organized new life. there was russian authorities also hold that ukraine. political vision would collapse, told probably before the miscalculation as it was in the future remake of a plan. but one can imagine that if you have this long, prolonged, or long time conflict that people could lift safely, there just was not possible to imagine. according to a new law passed by russia state, duma, people in annex regions of ukraine will have the same benefits as russian citizens . the legislation aims to provide free medical care, pensions, and benefits. piece by piece. people are trying to rebuild their lives. what we, what we are going to redevelop, we want to live free as our grandfathers, grandmothers and relatives used to live in our free territory, where no one was shooters. tell us what to do and force us to speak another language. a few 100 apartments and homes have been rebuilt in the city, but only a 5th of the population is left slowly basic services such as water and electricity
