2:03 pm
testified to the severity of the impact. all that's left of the front to passenger cars is a pile of mangled debris. the 3rd car, partly on top of them, cranes delicately picked the wreckage apart. piece by piece, just in case the survivors found. but hope is almost gone. then on the back of kelly, i don't think they are any others. we've looked everywhere. i don't think there's any one left inside. survivors are merging in the immediate aftermath of the disaster were trying to understand what happened. but after hope, oliver, my god boy, 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. a little bit of all train had been 90 degrees and had fallen over the cliff. half of it was hanging india and the whole thing was
2:04 pm
on fire. there were 5 wounded where i was. the immediate blame fell on the larissa station, master, arrested for manslaughter. he reportedly confessed that he tried unsuccessfully to switch the passenger train on to a different track as it left the station. not bothering to report that the switches had failed, and not suspecting the horror that would follow an estimated $82.00 passengers are missing. but only about half that number of bodies has been recovered, the rest may never be retrieved because the fire that engulfed the 1st 2 cause of the strain was so hot, more than a 1000 degrees celsius, were told. it may have cremated the victims exactly where they were killed. prime minister courier caused me to thank you, says a commission of experts will probe the causes of the accident and lack of safety culture in the greek railway network. chance or atlas has more now from outside a hospital near the scene of the accident. it was just earlier inside the hospital

2:09 pm
a bit reminiscent of the cold war era, isn't it? in the 1955 conference in vandorn, indonesia, when developing countries decided to create the non aligned move when, because they didn't want to take sides during the cold war. what is your sense of the position that some countries of the g 20 find themselves in today and, and do they really have a choice? this interesting unit of a comparison because are also india for a long time during the cold war was leaving the nun online movement to do it sounds like a minister more the wants to sound like he is the spokesperson of the so called global self throat is not necessarily the spokesperson, regardless of what is clearly trying to be one, which is which his statement is actually very accurate and we're almost lethal for was present not the blue moscow and washington by saying that it is the global south that is taking the grunt of the ramification of this cold war
2:10 pm
that is happening between moscow and washington, that most of the troubles that the south is facing from the environment to poverty, from fueled flu, inflation, and so on, so forth is all the result of the cynicism and hypocrisy that we are seeing developing between east and west as it were, and that the south should not be the victim of war, cynical calculus between moscow and washington. and hence he is. and others are like south africa, brazil and, and so on. are urging the member states to put aside their division on ukraine and focus on what could unite them on terms of multilateralism or cooperation on issues that concern everybody, but they kick in. they really put aside those differences when they so much, i think it would seem when it comes to this conflict in ukraine, and can they afford to sit on the fence on this one? this is the thing great. i mean, we've sort,
2:11 pm
we've seen so syria employed. we've seen yemen employed, we see palestine occupied for the last 50 plus years. and we don't see this kind of a pool or a zation. we've seen even rush ethic over creamy in 2014. but then prime minister, lovegrove and secretary carry, kept meeting they, and they out. we start talking about brought manse between the foreign ministers of the united states and russia. but this them are under different president biden, took a harsh position on russia's terrible occupation or of ukraine. but the question is, if this issue this conflict, this invasion is going to continue open ended, li will. all the issues that are of concern to humanity should be frozen for that i being or they need to move on them. i think they are showing a sad kind of a cynicism that is not become into the very interesting to your thoughts on this machine. i thank you very much for that. now to turkey a, where 6, spotty,
