4:05 pm
suddenly an incredible current of happiness snakes through the camp. children are eager to latch on to any sweet moment they can find with treasure quality. we came here for the children. when a child loves to the mother and father law among every one, love what i ecologist say, it's important for healing. we want to take them away from the psychology of earthquakes. you argued a song and a clap helps heal the wounds on the inside. despite any cart on the outside edge and a movie takes you far away. ha. then took out the movie was very good. i love movies. i saw 2 movies. we saw ice age 5, and the other one was when the hero makes friends with the tiger. what about over the minimum was near to appreciate the relief comedy provides her 3 kids so me know the earthquake trapped her and her family in a room. but

4:07 pm
earthquake seems a world away. ah oh, the cold fry ringing out here adding to the cold to rally people as the soul there in that recall, entertain as a one segment of people answering the call for help. but there's a lot of help to be done here, and the focus now is shifting on how to resettle people, how to rebuild communities. one city in particular to raise the boat and join us from now live. really exemplifies just how complicated, how big that is. and talk a place with a very rich cultural heritage and theresa a very diverse community. it's no small child. when we talk about reconstruction and life like where you are. right. well, that's correct. i mean, if this city and takia is a place, it's ations tied to historical sites,
4:08 pm
a place where the greek roman discontinue, of course, autobahn empires have left their mark in this city has been flattened when you come inside here, you see the damage. it's difficult to find one billet, one building that has been damaged. so the task of rebuilding entire areas such as this one is a norm as that's what the government is trying to do. they've not totally going to rebuild all this ation side that you can see here, but they're also hoping to move the residential areas closer to the mountains that would be to save people lives. if another earthquake takes place, the area close to the mountains, this to post the ground is supposed to be stronger, more resistant. among other things, they're hiring engineers, architects. we've been seeing several architects going around the city right now. so the task is enormous. and a huge, huge challenge, but this place, as we see right now,
4:09 pm
an inhabitable thousands and thousands of people have already left this area, including the syrian refugees that were around $400000.00 syrian refugees in the high province. and many of them are still living in 10 cities right around this area, but many others say they were forced to flee. oh, these people have been waiting for days to be allowed inside this temporary refugee camp in a dana in southern tokyo home. they were syrian and had been living in this country for 7 years, but the earthquakes last month left them homeless. so marilyn beckley says he and his family have no way to go. that non, hadn't been not the 2nd grade destroyed our house. we left the house with children without any of our belongings. so we come to this camp. we're syrian stayed, i believe there's enough space in the camp, but we've been living on the street for 14 days now. how does our turkish authorities did not reply to our questions on why these families were not allowed inside? since the civil war started in syria,
4:10 pm
tortilla adopted an open door policy towards syrians fling the conflict. there now more than 4000000 syrians in the country. many i living in camps where they have shelter, food, health care, and an education. but over time, many turn study to resend the support given to syrian refugees by the turkey state . there's widespread need for food, shelter on basic services all around the areas affected by the earthquake in hockey, and that has increase the anti refugee sentiment in the country. there are many who would like to see the refugees leave. hundreds of people are living in this 10 city in the center of it hasn't had ever had a has site. alice acted all blue is one and she's angry. she says she's living in a tent with 5 other families among them. a premature baby is deborah june. child the like. also, dorians have tense, but we, turks have nothing. we are living outside in terrible conditions. well, syrians halftime, aren't we, human beings,
4:11 pm
to the turkish ministry of defense as more than 40000 syrians have returned to their country in the past weeks. many others here are also finding it difficult to survive in a disaster area, and they're considering other options. clarify that boosting hebrew he rallies assyrian, honestly. he says he fears the lead up to 2 kias presidential elections in may. could increase hostile sentiment towards syrians in the country. some like special like from that. right. like side flight parties, considering as like actually more lawyer and other parties which is like very difficult for syrians. and if you try and like to do like loose or via around between civilians, the nothing about policies or like politics like here. they're just like trying to lean out of millions of serious have come to to, can you to escape the war in their nation. now they've lost everything they had once again and have to survive in a country that is not their own. everyone has been affected by the earthquake in
4:12 pm
the southern eastern part of the country, their stories of loss of pain and of revival. what the priority to right now for the government is clearing the rubble beginner rebuilding process, but also demolishing many of the buildings that have not that not collapsed but that have been permanently damaged. on sunday we were able to go to a city that's not far away from where we are. we're building collapsed in the handle of the city. again, search and rescue operations again, people afraid because of the after shock than earthquakes, that have happened since february 6. so of course there's lots of challenges ahead people here, one to know they'll be able to own a home once again. and of course they're waiting that the government will be able to deliver soon. thanks so much. theresa bo? well that's teresa was explaining, of course, that's great. can be very divisive events, but they can also bring people together. i took a walk with my dog for us. he's
4:13 pm
a famous turkish, and so un goodwill ambassador. we had a stroll through a 10 city and camp where his or 8 organisation is coming together with others. find help people in need. mark, why was it important for you to be here today? i know you have an aide organization but to come all the way to the half of the one with yeah, it's important because it shoots disasters it for like 10 different cities. so more than 10 new people are just getting jude, i mean, from here so. so so it's a huge, you region, it's almost 10 percent to 12 percent of turkey. and the most important thing for me, of course my family. i think you lost some family members as well. right. right. yeah, i lost my aunts and her husband and one of my cousin israel condolences for
4:14 pm
that very hostile story. yeah. right, right, right. yes, it person the story. was he story for the turkey and for the region? i can say you started this organization 7 years ago. at that time there wasn't enough weight. that was yeah, we're right. what kind of needs are you trying to verify? no has more education is so low. so clearly or popular man, mother a picture. yeah. i think to time, yes. yes. let look, look, look, look. you make that for the michelle? michelle. uh huh. yeah. did issue if you decide the gift your organization, it's been around for 70 years at that time there wasn't enough quite the one the big fire is going on. give me
4:15 pm
a feel applies to try and pay for for it was more education needs and, and we were just asking to vary with teachers and the students. so we work to 2 minutes to policy. i'm education minutes, help support us at the beginning. i know you were with the un today, your un goodwill ambassador was tell us a little bit about what specifically you're working with them on here. we saw yesterday out filming with them. what kind of needs are you taking care of with the un i i'm working with the. busy d, p. m. yeah. and the pieces when they see that as well. so, so we're working for you, tell them people more about sustainable development goals. but besides it's a cavity we've working more like, oh, so global warming, we telling people more. but in this camp in this place, in how tight every train try to build a container, sustainable container systems, what the sustainable means, sustainable pacific systems,
4:16 pm
even i'm and so the system can be a bill system. so it's not a wire monopoly friendly venue. provide it in this camp here as well. i understand your organization has contributed to the infrastructure for drainage and hygiene. right? right, right, right. for the working for the infrastructure, which is temple as well as we call the ministry of education, i think in attend behind the vast so. right. right. they also hear like a government sides, municipalities, side angels. you're all one. yeah. yeah. the actually government side and also the min spelled decide for me stumble for my tie. so we all together working for the kids and, but you know, our system is play and learns like more play. i learn. yes, that's beautiful here. thank you so much. thank you. placing for this is all that camp is just one of many across the country and her officials put out some figures . they said they've put up 370000 tents,
4:17 pm
more than 11000 containers across the country to try and take him. the numbers of people who lost their homes. of course there was criticism about the government's efforts that they were slow to respond and start with the aids and relief operation and rescue operation. the cruise is about enforcement of earth, white codes or hats. nowhere was that more prominent than in government mirage. that, of course is the center of the 2nd earthquake that struck one month ago. we can go live now. the hash, him alabama, hash him take a through the conditions. people are dealing with their sam, it's been raining over the last few hours here and got a man mollusk clearing some of the thick dust. there has been filling the air over the last few days, particularly when the authorities thought to clear the robbery is going to definitely put some more strains on the people living in the makeshift attempts
4:18 pm
they have been asking for more containers shelters, because they do understand that they would have to spend quite some time in those shelters before the government starts. the reconstruction, we says, will be completed by one year from now. now in the meantime, while we've been seeing is basically, each time you have trucks moving along with excavators along the devastated areas. to start to clear the rubble people with seized the opportunity despite the risks to recover whatever they can from the rubble. and they say it's very important for them because it's not just about personal belongings. it's also about been membrane their past. ah, this is the moment, little a year has been waiting for excavators clear the rubble. she only has a few hours to salvage whatever she can. she has spent most of her life here, and now she has to confront the harsh reality. yoga, i'm here with my family to collect anything that would help me connect with the
4:19 pm
path so that the memories of the place and the people i met lives on. this was once my house, the authority is keep safe deposit boxes recovered from the rubble. you police stations, owners have to provide detailed lists of their belongings, which should match the least find if people are desperate to retrieve whatever they can from the debris, identity, cars, furniture, jewelry and money. and sometimes all they want is only the medicine the left behind, as they rush to survive the devastation. the reason they're taking risks is the fear. this could be their last chance to recover whatever they can before is forever gone. right after the earthquakes it 11 provinces in southern turkey, security forces launched a crack down on robbers and rounded up looters. the also managed to
4:20 pm
retrieve cash and gold bars from destroyed banks and jewelry shops. highly should i, kogler is recovering his brother's belongings. he was rescued along with his family, but 7 other families didn't make it. i that hosted all of us and say, what can you do? you feel completely helpless in the face of calamity. i find a few items who are mostly portrait of my brother and his children. he has at least a few memories now to keep him. it's all about keeping memories alive and remembering those who couldn't make it mostly buried in unmarked grace sammy, this is crucial for those people. they just you go through those places and you see buildings that have been flattened by the earthquakes before people. there are still closed, they're looking for, you're waiting to get anything they can recover from the rubble because they do
4:21 pm
understand that it will be able to piece it together, reconnect with their past memories. remember those who couldn't make it and move on . they know this is going to be the most delicate moment in their lives, but they're hoping to be able to move on. they're waiting for the government to deliver all the promises he made, particularly when it comes to building this time. houses that are going to be stronger, safer, and better to ensure that if any earthquake hits in the future, it will not lead to the same death taught it did about a month ago. all right, thanks so much. i am archer, man, the bottom of our reporting to us from government marsh, the api center of the 2nd earthquake that struck one month ago. and there have been many since then. earthquakes and after sharks. that's a question i posed to jello. chung girl is a geologist with a stumble,
4:22 pm
technical university, and i, i asked him why we're seeing so many earthquakes and aftershocks. this was a very large earthquake. and if i may show you our model, does everybody see this, though you're not going to create a hole in the earth. so this run moved, and that's a 2nd earthquake. here you see the offset these. these are both very large earthquakes. and as you can see, the motion here would create a motion there also ok. and therefore the aftershocks both along the main folds and along these, what i would call auxiliary or continuation faults, are very normal. the whole system is trying to settle into a new state of stress now and there were other earthquakes and central anatolia, as in case he needed cetera. that would be more. and the reason for that is the
4:23 pm
dana tonia. as you can see in this model, anatolia consists of blocks bounded by faults. and this one earthquake, the largest quake, and the immediately following. so in point 6, have disrupted this state of stress along the boundaries of these blocks. look what happens. so if i hit it, all these blocks move here, they move more near the earthquake here they move less. does that enable us to say which areas might be hit next and how long this system will need in order to settle down? as you said, i mean remember after 1999 for a few years, there were large earthquakes, both in the aegean and in greece. and here all kind of body of the california
4:24 pm
institute of technology can take. as pointed out that this was a result of the stress change caused by the big earthquakes in girl jake or adap asada and does jet in turkey. now this is the same thing. this big earthquake has caused a change in the state of stress. now which areas are vulnerable? naturally, areas closer to the larger squeaks abominable along the eastern natalia fault, and along the betsy vault, which is this one. okay, that's the one that goes down to what day? the ancient antioch, and further down to syria and the stress change modeling done by our german colleagues in the university of munich. her professor, aren't you free? came to turkey and showed it to us on television that south of the main shock
4:25 pm
is now loaded. so south of her tie, one would expect another earthquake along the east that natalie and fault. i would expect another as great grand bingo, eleazar, et cetera. other will be affected because the $7.00 fault, that is the fault that goes to $7.00, goes west into argona area, turns south and becomes a part of the other killick, your basin system. therefore, there will be an earthquake, there is the solution to try and rebuild in the earthquake hit areas or is the solution to try and move people away as far as possible from fault lines and rebuild in repopulate similar to that. it's not viable you can't do that. there are a lot of cultural remix, et cetera. you couldn't build on any kind of ground, provided you build
4:26 pm
a properly. so you have to rebuild the city, but do it properly. i still, i was pointing out there a lot of versus an article activity and it's costing a lot not only and took care, but of course in syria to let's take you through some of that damage. $5100000000.00 worth of damage has been done and that amounts well to around 10 percent of serious g d p. and of course, as the question of the people made homeless, it took me about more than 5000000 people in syria. a lot of suffering there, among them humble georgia, one of many people who suffered, he lost his mother, his wife and his 2 sons. only he and his 4 year old daughter survives ah,
4:27 pm
ah ah, i oh. when i'm teen there. so hung had too much being kinetic. i had you on such a pain on my side. no, i didn't sweat. she was off from anyone. might have been her that had not the sort of federal sentence and the and not all of them the most. not limited with those take much. shouldn't they touch have probably heard will come she will. emmy saburd read will
4:28 pm
goodman ah ah the latin i am she didn't know how to if i let my gym be cut off. i didn't the above. oh no, no, i get off here. i'm home. heck, auction, but the woman who has and if he's a fan and colonel chick methods, i'm about to ship the message about how much on this if in any media and mission of an upper, i love to hate them at the telephone. if she left them, i know what i was writing brought over and you know, funding in some as
4:29 pm
a home phone gave me and it wouldn't fill him for him. now, more money i haven't the whole not submit those to the problem. we'll have a terrible story there of suffering and there are so many of them across this region. and as you can see, just by looking at the scene behind me, this is been an event that has brought life at every level crushing to the ground. people dealing with an awesome office struggling to make sense of special coverage
4:30 pm
continues once again. 1500 gmc ah, in a day off from a major fire broke. i did a refugee camp and cox's bizarre mangle dash the ruins are still smoldering. thousands of people already forced from their homes and me and law have lost their only shelter. hunger charge reports from the count. as you can see behind me is 1011 in ballard color cox's bizarre. now this is just outside of the can. you can still see the fire, it's still on here. it's surprising. there's no fire brigade here to does this fire was seriously poses a threat to the nearby hot and the other shops here. most of these areas where shops a lot of the rowing, i called the bizarre way to do that groceries and all that total devastation as you
4:31 pm
can see watch and actually nobody died. there was some minor ranger is talking to the rowing our messages that told me that list several people who had minor injuries but nothing serious. but nearly 12000 people. what displays over 2000 homes were totally burned to ashes. many suspect it could be one of the cylinders how the fire started, because lot of this explored or ignorance fire, and then it spreads. how about the room or within the cam? talking to many of the running off that said it was a video abby dense, we cannot verify that independently though. but the work and rehabilitation work has started on a lot of volunteers. there. they're taking food and water to those are affected. now we spoke to the commissioner off refugee relief and rehabilitation. he said, the government as well as the agencies are doing best to accommodate those who are without shelter, temporary accommodation. many of them are living with their family members. can
4:32 pm
i just run with my children? everything is destroyed. we looked at freaking we had putting you on a bit to do everything. just been to ashes. now we don't have anything. yeah. that was enough food. no shelter, nothing with them. but the children, the woman here are very traumatized. this is not the 1st. 5 incident that happened in this cam. 7 was running as that as it is very frustrated. this offer from anxiety because there is no hope for repatriation. there's no jobs, and now they had the latest news. the russians will be cut back from this month. according to u. n. at least 9 police officers have been killed in a suicide bomb attack in southwestern pakistan. it happened in cash discharge of the province of baluchistan. several others have been injured. no group was claimed responsibility for the attack. 2 3 universities in
4:33 pm
afghanistan have reopened after the winter break, but taliban authorities still bar woman from attending foreign ministers and whites groups of condemned the restrictions which the united nations has called gender based apartheid victoria gate and reports ah, another set back for the women of afghanistan. that is another, it's the start of a new university term, but only men are allowed to attend. many here at cobble university urging the authorities to we consider angela. daz, i'm, i'm hopeful that the eldest and the officials of these la mc emirates of afghanistan will allow our sisters to continue their studies. because it's, there is la mic right. it came or another mass, another we don't have female students. one part of our society is prospering, while the other ones left behind is a female students are allowed, our society will improve 100 percent. the taliban government band women from higher education 3 months ago after accusing female students of ignoring
4:34 pm
a strict dress code and a requirement to be accompanied by a male relative to and from campus. this be widespread international condemnation of the band, but no sign of a change in that decision. there's an element of all of this coming from the taliban insistence to try and distinguish themselves from the previous regime in afghanistan, try and show to their constituents to this of autism fighters in particular that they are not like the previous government since it returned to power in 2021. the taliban has also banned girls under 18 from going to school prohibited women from working for 8 organizations and banned women from pox jims and public baths. rights groups who support african women say it's had a devastating impact on afghan society to say where these women are now in afghanistan. i just hope they're safe and if they're outside, they're discussing the wins and it's just not the way the world should be in this
4:35 pm
day. and you should never in the way to well to be and i don't understand. i don't understand the thinking behind it. i just don't. after the taliban took power in afghanistan, it promised women fundamental rights. 18 months on it, systematically excluding them from public life. victoria gate and b algae, 0. iran's supreme leader says the poisoning of school girls is an unforgivable crime, ayatollah ali hominy. as ost authorities to investigate the cases and severely punished perpetrators. on saturday, a 2nd wave of gas attacks was reported. more than 300 girls were taken to hospital hundreds more have been admitted since november. the attacks have led to more protests, mazili muslim, will him miss, i get. this is an important issue. if there are really hands involved and people groups are involved in this matter. this is a big, an unforgivable crime. and he's and responsible agencies, intelligence services, and law enforcement agencies must pursue them his own. and the perpetrators must be
4:36 pm
condemned to severe punishments. it is a serious, an unforgivable crime. there will be no amnesty for them. and he, while the 60000 somalis, mainly women and children, have fled to neighboring ethiopia to escape the recent violence in somali land. more than half of them arrived earlier this week. tensions between residents and the governing somali land authorities have been building for weeks killing more than a 100 people at sheltering and ethiopia drove affected areas. earlier i spoke to somali as president hassan ship ma howard. he says his administration is working to resolve the issue in similar land. my government, it stands for the unit of the country. it is a constitutional mandate, and it is the will of the majority of the somali people so, so my land has been there. yes. local progress, a lot of local progress they meet. we appreciate and we, we, we come brand or we are brand them that this is, this is good at that. what they did and i will congratulate them. but the so
4:37 pm
mileage federal government stands for the unit. we believe the unity is the honest ownership unit is political. we want this so my land to come back to somalia and united, but we don't want to this unity through violence. we have been avoiding to which war or trickery had problem insights from maryland even for a long time. because you took it, a violence is only makes a matter worse. now what's happening within so madeleine is a very, there are regions wanted the unity and this is what makes the, the violence or isn't that i had been in less anil. so we have been advocating for the last couple of weeks. how come we stop 1st? the violence and then i've been a speech for dialogue. so i'm now did, there is a progress there. there is a ceasefire in please. and the other is on the community. leaders are working better hard. we believe that the violence would be stopped and then dial up to
4:38 pm
start to, to move. we want a united shamaya, mitchell. my land in had bits of food man until a dial up on consensus building song. last annual is a region that claims that they want to unity. and that is the principle of the somali government. but we need lozano on the rest of so madeleine to come to the unit. through the abyss from reeves cutting edge ging therapies could become more accessible in the coming years, not with scientists and policymakers are going to be discussing of the human genome editing conference in london column. baker reports 5 years ago, humanity quietly crossed into a new era. a scientist walked on stage of the human genome editing conference in hong kong to reveal he'd modified the embryos of twin girls. before they were born, he changed to gene known to create resistance to infection by h i v. the scientists in the audience were shocked. and
4:39 pm
a near unanimous call was made to halt similar attempts, illnesses like sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis and huntington's disease are inherited. they start as variations in genes, the codes in human dna that tell bodies how to make cells out of millions of letters of code. just one can be out of place. and in some cases, only one parent needs to have a variant gene. to pass a serious and rare condition to their children. new tools are available to edit the human genome. the most efficient so far is crisper. it finds cuts and replaces parts of genes to deliver new genetic code to a target with great accuracy. our vision, our dream is that there would be basically a crisp or cure center where physicians would see a child there that child's dna would get red and professional geneticists would
4:40 pm
understand what causes the disease and then they would send out information to the crisper cures group and they would be like a rapid response team. they would just jump on it. today. genetic editing therapies modify immune cells to recognize cancer, correct loss of vision directly in the eye, and seem to have reversed sickle cell anemia by editing the cells in bone marrow. they want to really pay attention as, and these technologies are being developed as they're getting closer and closer to market. about how we are considering the population at hand that have access or don't have access to these technologies. a human embryo contains a few cells that become a whole person. in theory, these could be edited to prevent a rare or serious inherited disease from ever starting. but no studies have shown how an embryonic at it would effect a person throughout their life. and as an embryo develops into a fetus,
4:41 pm
and he changes would be replicated to including in the cells involved in reproduction that would allow human made changes to be passed down generation after generation. with unknown effects, the last time they met scientists and ethicists said it was too soon to try with new therapies coming online. it might also not be worth the risk colon baker al 0. well, john hall is joining us live now from that conference in london. janet, i can imagine the enthusiasm for like certain aspects of the genome editing process, but that are ethical questions as well under but well some of those great advancements in this at technology summed up there in collins report, but also course enormous costs involved. and as you say, the ethical considerations all being discussed here. this 3rd summit of scientists, of ethicists, of policy makers looking into human genome editing. one of them you saw in collins report, their fuel door or nov,
4:42 pm
is with the innovative genomics institute at the university of california. barclay, thanks so much for joining us. i should be here. i want to pick up on the point that you raised in collins report there, which was your vision, essentially for the future of human genomic editing using this chris per sort of cut and paste technology. you describe it as if you envisage a sort of supermarket checkout system where people turn up with their incredibly rare diseases and walk straight out with a cure, crisper cures on demand. that's right. look in this building as a remarkable human being. victoria grace, she was crisper cured to health. i never thought we would utter that sentence. and the question for all of us as a, as a community of scientists and physicians, how do we deliver the promise of crisper to a much larger group of people? and as of today, building on those remarkable advances, there are, in fact scientists and physicians across academia and industry building and delivering those cures. the bigger challenge is how do we as a society agree on what would be fair, like, who benefits?
4:43 pm
like if, if a patient gets a crispy cure for disease that affects $50000.00 people. what about a disease that affects $500.00? the beautiful thing about chris for us is invented by jennifer doubt. then my new shop on here. it's actually not that hard to build a 1st pass crisper medicine that the challenge becomes what's the next step, which hospital will tested formerly, who will manufacture? how will we put it into a person in a way where the health care system will support it? but remarkably, the initial technical challenges of building the supermarket have liked the insult . oh, we spoke. i spoke to victoria great a little earlier and it's very clear how she's been moved by this treatment. how her life is changed. she speaks about light at times of darkness. how no child should live without a parent. is there gonna be a big announcement? are you expecting anything big at this summit around that treatment that she's been having? oh my, we might have a landmark moment sooner rather than later where this treatment that she received along with about a 110 other people becomes the 1st ever approved crisper medicine or
4:44 pm
a physician in the u. s. or in, in europe will be literally able to write a prescription for somebody with sickle cell disease, which is what victoria great had accompany them. and thing that had, or it made a fallacy, me yet, but moving further ahead, what i'm excited to hear about is there is a crisper trial for heart disease. i am at high risk for heart disease. i would be the 1st one to sign up for that genetic medicine, as long as with tens of millions of other people. i'm very excited to see how they're doing because they're about to start a clinical trial in the u. s. once they start it, i imagine they will have a line of people out the door, a huge horizons ahead of us. hundreds of millions of people born of every year with some of the thousands of these single cell mutation type diseases. you're making tiny steps towards sickle cell disease. is it fair to say that potentially the next great horizon of this technology is scaling all these treatments up to make them mainstream, to make them widely available? we as a species prove that we can make cove,
4:45 pm
it vaccines to treat billions of people, the fundamental bits and pieces of crisper treatment are actually the same. yes, good old messenger r n a lipp at nanoparticles that your audience have now has not heard of. we can make millions of that stuff. well, absolutely, yes. the next horizon, the next big breakthrough for us as a community is to take that amazing technology and make it available, manufactured at such scale for the 10s of millions around the world who have a mutation that needs to be crisper. today, yoda or now we're going to leave it there. you are in your enthusiasm. absolutely. infectious. clearly big big steps being discussed here in london in what must be aps most exciting field of medical research. jonah, thank you very much, jona hall at that conference in london. 41 stranded ice fishermen have been rescued in russia's far east. they were trapped on a large ice flo, the broke off sahalina island. they were picked up by helicopter. the ice had drifted more than 2 kilometers away from the shore. and it says,
4:46 pm
your la 10 coast journalist, she's joining us live from law school. what do we know about what happened on the studio? well, early day, a rescue operation has been performed on the russian island of helene. if less not a village to save. what do you want? a fisherman who are carried away on the drifting ice flow to the sea of a hall? at the distance of nearly i wanted to ha, or 2 kilometers. the operation was successful and all the fishermen evacuated to the land and the local emergency service had to use me a helicopter during the rescue effort. local media also wrote about very difficult weather conditions and strongly and during the rest corporation. i was reading that back in 2020, there were 500 fishermen who had to be rescued from a similar situation. how dangerous can this being on? why does it happen? well, actually it can be really very dangerous. and such operations are really,
4:47 pm
really expensive for the local emergency services. unfortunately, they have been pretty frequently indeed just yesterday, the same incident, but much smaller one. have them still fishermen at marya village, same in sally and. and they were also rescued according to the local media. ringback local ab tv network residents on the island have even raised the issue of introducing vines for sahalina fishermen who go to the sea to face despite weather forecast. and despite alarms about post ice break and, and as a result of the find, the cells got home from the land. so apparently this happens because fishermen tend to go to fish despite the weather forecast and the lungs about the ice grace. and the ice break. as anna says, ella sanker bringing subsidies from moscow. anastasia, thank you. thank you. and drivers and operators of the philippines most popular mode of transport are on strike jeep needs,
4:48 pm
are called the king of the road. the government wants to modernize the small many buses, but the drivers say the cost is simply too high. bottom below reports from manila at said o motors workshop in manila g. these taking form, but it's a custom unit for private client. it's been years since one of the oldest and biggest manufacturers of the famous philippine public transport has assembled one for commuters. there's been no demand since the government rolled up plans to scrap cheap nice. the gps are wrong. it's been around for about probably 60 or 70 years, and they're trying to change the face of the metropolis by thinking it out and putting up the more learned your delivery. give me said i was garage is a museum of sorts of the philippine gibney from the brightly colored sixty's version. so the artsy eighty's model, even the original american willis from the 2nd world war. but transportation officials had said, a majority of jeep needs are no longer road worthy,
4:49 pm
and had been pushing for these many buses instead to replace them. on monday jeep me, drivers and operators began a week long strike to protest against to plant. they say they simply cannot afford to price mechanical mysa, but how much is $1.00? $47000.00 and then units of those mean the buses would cost more than $470000.00. or did we get that amount? just hours into the strike. however, the government changed his plan in a made in they will not base out additional didn't this anymore, but they will be subject to what if occasions, so they can conform the national standards. manufacturers say it's not going to be easy. we don't know where to get the euro for engines or the electric power train that is not concrete detail under program that's. that's a thought it will be
4:50 pm
a hard time for everyone who abida modernization program. and then there's the question of the cost lance, as predicted bureau estimates, it will be half the value of a new mini bus. that's route $23000.00. the amount many drivers in operators don't have but for now, the g, the remains king of the road, aren't below al jazeera manila still hadn't al jazeera in sport, contrasting emotions in the stands as liverpool, secure. a record of breaking went over manchester, united. ah, this was the wrong to keep children away from their parents and hurt them into a school against their will. there was no mother, no father figures. they put us in a big playroom and we certainly looked after ourselves. i don't remember the
