ah. hello, almond. waterman. this is al 0 and live from doha. also coming up is ready for this is raid a refugee cabin, the occupied west bank as tensions escalate across the region. us politicians bow to advance build that gives the president authority to bad apps, including chinese, aren't tech talk, and dozens of school girls in the fed, alma taken to hospital after a mysterious poisoning. ah, great transport minister cost us cut him on this has resigned over the head on collision of 2 trains. at least 40 people died when a freight train and a passenger train collided on tuesday night. the government has declared 3 days of national morning. the crash happened on

a line connecting athens to the northern city of fissile the nicki just outside the city of lars. the emergency teams still working there or michael's room sheriff reports the worst train crash grease has ever seen. a passenger train colliding head on with a freight train. many of the 350 passengers were students returning to pass selina key after long weekend celebrating creek or to da slant many were killed in the initial impact shortly before midnight. others burnt in a fire so hot it melted metal. those who made it out was still trying to understand what happened. but after hope oliver lazily got louis, i jumped on him that we fell down. a woman with her child was with us. the train caught fire next to us and this guy found a whole, so we all managed to get out with that the only give

a little bit of old train had been 90 degrees and had fallen over the cliff. off of it was hanging india and the whole thing was on fire. there were 5 wounded where i was greek prime minister kitty across mitzy dark is, was at the scene or even as the search for survivors continued the barbary level of the room. universally, we are talking about an unspeakable tragedy. a thought to day at 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. dozens of people stood in line to donate blood at the hospital in the central town of larissa and angry families are demanding on says the yellow live we want all those responsible to pay for this miss. this grief miss trans, derailing in 2023 is unseen. and on a double track, even from what we hear,

they went from a double to a single truck and crushed. a stationmaster has been arrested as investigators tried to establish how 2 trains came to be on the same track. uncles, some sharif under sierra let's bring in our correspond on john's robles, he's joining us live on the scene of the crash and just in the last hour or so. john, we've seen that the death toll has increased lib. lib, lib, lib. that's right. i spoke earlier to the head of one of the volunteer groups who have been here for hours pulling bodies or parts of bodies from the wreckage. and he told me that the last living survive the last survivor of this crash was yet pulled out. approximately 1516 hours ago. so i don't think there's a lot of hope at this point. in fact,

he wouldn't even tell me what state the remains of the fatalities are in it. he says it's a, it's not a good feed. what, what i can tell you is that there is a operation going on right now behind me to extract the body of one of the 2 train drivers that's just been discovered from the wreckage. the picture of the train, the passenger car that's tilting from the tracks towards the ground. that is the 3rd car of the train. you don't see anything in front of it. that's because the 1st 2 passenger cars were simply mangled. beyond recognition as, as rolling stock. and the 3rd car just was pushed over them by the force of the impact. the engine itself i think, is also completely shattered. so what we're looking at now, i think is no longer

a search and rescue operation. even the volunteers say, hope ties last but hope's a dimming. and what will the emergency teams they're focusing on now, john i think really they just had to do the unpleasant work of lifting all the debris that they can, the crane that you may or may not be able to see behind me in this light. he has been until now lifting pieces of the wreckage of those 1st 2 mangled passenger cars . oh, just pieces of metal. the force of the impact was so great that deborah landed where we're standing is 50 or 60 yards from the impact point. ah, that's what they're focusing on. now. i don't know whether they'll be able to retrieve even any more bodies in recognizable form. they have to clear the tracks.

it's, it's just gruesome work that has to be done. but i don't know that at this point there's any hope for families of the the passengers on that train. if you deduct the number of wounded survivors and healthy survivors, plus the 36 to 40 bodies that have been recovered from the passenger list, you're given the remainder of 42. which means that the death toll here could rise to 8082 at the end of this process. but i don't think that you will necessarily have 82 bodies. i think that the temperature of the fire in those 1st 2 cars having reached 12021500 degrees celsius, are probably cremated a lot of the people who were killed in those curse. john, thank you very much for that. john robin has joining us live from larissa.

now to other news in the israeli army says it's detained to palestinians that accused of killing an israeli american. on monday, they were held off as early forces rated the act, but jap, a refugee camp in the occupied west bank a short while ago palestinian medic. so there were multiple injuries during the confrontation, violence has been escalating across the occupied territories and be some days me, the abraham is foreign developments in the occupied west back city of jericho. there was a checkpoint, that was preventing palestinian cars from exiting. derek was part of the blockade that has been imposed on jericho since mondays is the attack that shooting that killed and is really american just a minute 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 for hours and hours, some even left their cars are,

were trying to walk by foot. so this was after and is really read that was carried out by under cover unit to the app. but just a few decals, they say that they sell, 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 armed men. he was shot in the abdomen and as paramedics were trying to conduct cpr on him. the israeli forces told the paramedics to stop and to give them the man . now according to these really defends minister on twitter, he says that they were arrested to palestinians in relation to the attack on monday, according to palestinians, at least 6 palestinian wid arrested by the israeli forces to the us. now, with the house foreign affairs committee has voted to give president joe biden, the power to ban chinese own social media app. take talk. the white house has

already asked federal agencies to remove the app from their systems because of security concerns. that european parliament is banning tick tock from star phones. and on monday, canada also banded on a government issued mobile phones. for more on this were joined by patty co haynes his life for us and capitol hill, the committee boating along party lines. would you say patty, with the republican supporting the band, some democrats opposing it? exactly. with the 24 to 16 vote, the republicans voting a voting for this band. democrats voting against it. and let's be clear what this bill, in fact does. it doesn't, in fact, band tick tock in the united states. it doesn't even say the president has to band tick tock. it says if the u. s. government can basically find that the company is giving user data to officials within the chinese government. then he can take steps up to a total ban. that's something the company insists it doesn't do, but yes,

this shows that this is a very political issue. republicans pushing forward. they say a one representative said is like having us chinese spy balloon in your telephone, democrats and a civil liberties group. say this is a slippery slope and that it violates the 1st amendment protections guaranteed in the constitution. so a very much a party issue. but again, it did pass $24.00 to $60.00 and the measure, but it would still need to be approved at the full house, the senate before it can go to president biden. is that likely to happen? especially given the a concerns that you've mentioned? probably not again, this is just one committee. the full house is run by republicans, but they had this one list of majorities. they couldn't really afford to lose. just a handful of republicans. democrats seemed likely to be united in their opposition, and then it would move to the senate if it did pass the house, the senate controlled by democrats, so it's unlikely they would even take it up and it's not clear the president joe biden would, in fact sign it, so what this does, in reality, since it's unlikely,

the bill's going to become law, is it sends a message that this is a congress that has said that they are going to really focus on tackling china's influence ad. this is just one of the 1st bills to show that they are in fact going do harry, through those promises patty calhane with the latest live on capitol hill. thanks patty. now school girls from 10 institutes and the iranian capital that on had been admitted to hospital after a mysterious poisoning the president has asked the interior ministry to investigate . doth jabari reports from fed on i'm on the latest attack on girls in school. this one came on wednesday at an elementary school in a to her on neighbourhood young girls receiving medical care after the latest suspected use of poison gas in the classroom. i can't breathe. she says less than 24 hours earlier in a suburb,

where students at the nor yas darnesha conservatory fell ill. they became ill again in december. got some notable and one of her all miller hospital handles law. we have not identified the cause of the incident so far. the issues being followed by the relevant bodies and hopefully we will find details soon and share it with the public. we should refrain from creating fear. the head of the education committee in parliament has confirmed that nitrogen gas was detected in the poison used at some of the schools. a committee made up of different authorities has been formed to investigate. and the president has also asked the interior ministry to get involved. as confusion, lack of clarity on these increasing attacks continue. parents are becoming angrier and more fearful for the future of their daughters in her own. dorsal jabari, al jazeera toronto, still head on the bulletin is all right, great. that we're both really good, luxurious present, electricals,

back in the lab. so he says he's cautiously confident it will happen again. this time, the new numbers his team are coming up with back by up season process thing because of it is a cyclical process. now that's our hope. we've seen it happen before and you know, it won't keep going down up, but there is an unknown fact to hear it. but i'll let my escape. the only thing is that it's going down and then you factor in global warming and you don't know if it'll go up again or not. that's the uncertainty here every time the numbers, dip for the researches and for the curious friendly animal that they're watching over. john holeman al jazeera son ignacio lagoon, mexico and he is continues here on al jazeera after inside story. ah,
