this is death every day a but does his work make you my hero or talk witness the d minor on i just gotta ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, al jazeera. with down to the pit. ah,

ah. oh, i'm mary. i'm ozzy, welcome to the news. our life from london, our top story view, i says, a russian fighter jet has collided with an american military drone over the black sea, causing it to crash. this incident demonstrates a lack of competence in addition to being unsafe and unprofessional. oh, focused on the police clash with supportive m. ron kon. outside. the former prime minister held him in the whole head of his expected arrest. milan, he says, so i can, friday is killed a $119.00 people are hitting the country for a 2nd time in a month. this greeks continue to blame that government for last month trying crash . we take you inside the nerve center for the sweet rail network. and i'm far as small have all the days. ford is fif. confirm the next world capital

feature. i record 100 for matches the 2026 tournaments will take place across 3 countries. the usa, canada, and mexico. last nearly a 6 weeks. ah . hello and welcome to the news out. now the united states is condemn what it called a reckless maneuver by a russian jet that brought down one of it surveillance drones. the state department is summoned, the russian ambassador. the pentagon says that the russian fighter jets collided with the american drone as it was flying over the black sea south of ukraine. it says the unmanned craft was over international waters and pose no threat. russia denies causing crash. it's defense ministry says the drone was detected near the crimea peninsula flying in the direction of the russian border and crashed as

a result of sharp maneuvering. while only the pentagon gave a briefing on what took place, we are continuing to assess exactly what happened. but i think, based on the actions of the russian pilots, it's clear that it was unsafe unprofessional. and i think the actions speak for themselves what we, what we saw, again were fighter aircraft dumping fuel in front of this you a v. and then getting so close to the aircraft that it actually damaged the propeller. on the empty 9 we, we assess that, like we cause some damage to the russian aircraft, as well as go live now to my county. he's falling developments there in washington . what else did the pentagon say about this collision? but once again, those words reckless and unprofessional, will used the pentagon saying that the drones had been flying regular flights over

the black sea in this particular area from the white house to those words were echoed dangerous. and reckless. this from the national security lie is on the whitehouse, john kirby, who says the president was brief. shortly after the incident took place. he said once again that this was constituted, an action that was totally unprofessional. the state department meanwhile says that the russian ambassador has been summoned to speak to the us administration, the sign of the highest displeasure, by the bye and administration. with this event, the russians though adamant that they were not responsible for the crash of the drone, asserting that it fell out of control. how serious is this for us? russian relations and ivy, i'm pastor, has been summoned. obviously, americans very upset about this. they've been very vocal in that displeasure, but what does the analysis in terms of how it could affect the situation between 2 countries or any situation like this,

given the ongoing conflict in the ukraine and given the fact that it happened in such a sensitive area of great concern, not only to the us, but possibly also to the russians, what the u. s. is still looking at is a with it can recover the drone. and also whether this was the act of a government with the pilots were operating under instruction or whether this was some kind of funeral lateral act. should the collision indeed have taken place to the russians, contending that it didn't. but of course, it's a great deal of concern among the administration. officials here given the tenuous situation in ukraine the by didn't administration as often said about the possibilities of some mistake occurring of some lack of communication which could result in an escalation of an already tense situation. right, thanks very much. my counter and washington d. c. u leah chaper valo varez,

russia based journalist joined us now from moscow. and so the incident is being described by officials in washington as being reckless on the part of rushing military. now tell us about the reaction that right actually in moscow we don't hear much from the russian ministry of defense. so we do know that the road and their telegram channel, the b and key 9 reap address. lee would be transponders turned off, and it's violates is the boundaries of the area of the so called temporary as paste regimes published i g, c rushes, special militia operation in ukraine. they said that in order to identify the triangle trick several, find a chance of the end fence balls is what edge and who scramble there. and as a result of shot maneuvering around 9, said she, most of time, according to the defense ministry, the m q 9 unmanned aerial vehicle went into an uncontrolled flight with

a loss of attitude and collided with the water surface of the black sea. that was, of course, of course, according to the russian defense ministry. so basically what we know at this point comes courtesy of the u. s. ministry and european usaa or other european command. so the information is pretty scarce here, even though everyone understands that is, is a very serious issue. as you mentioned before, it gets it and they say from u. s. military perspective, they say that several times before the collision took place, the se 20 seven's dump fuel on and flew in front of the m q 9 in let us environmentally on sound profession for fir, unprofessional manner. so it seems a little bit of yes. so there's a, there's a bit of provocation there, but i mean, yes, they're saying that this demonstrates a lack of competence in that it was very unsafe. exactly. they say that that happened was one of the russian. i cross trying to the end q 9 propeller,

causing us forces to shoot down the trend and international horses. and according to them, several times before the collision, b, as in $27.00 dropped few as he said, and flew in front of the 9 in a reckless environment landscape and a professional manner. that's right, but the us term, the less you performed routine operations in international airspace and the russian mindset and unsafe maneuvers next to it. so the instant was reported to the u. s. president joe biden. so we and just have to mention that as well. and so of course, the investigation has to be launched and i'm sure it will be launched, and i just looks on these days at cost. so the and q 9, replace a launch, convert trone. it's that more advanced version of the previous time and q one credit to with increased payload. it has internal weapons bays as well as external mounting points for weapons. and as for the russian, as you 27 or so 27,

as we call it here, it's a multi rolled twin engine superman. you will find a judge designed by the, the hoary design bureau soviet times. and it's one of the most reduced miniature aircraft here. in russia, so we just have to wait and see what's going on, how it's going to play out. the whole situation here. you lit ship of oliver. thank you. or in all the developments russian president pushes, as he believes, stay actors will bind last year's explosion on old streamed gas pipelines. he dismissed as nonsense. recent reports that are pro ukraine group sabotage, the pipelines which carry rush and gas to europe, to so to the dish to who's interested theoretically the united states is interested in stopping the supply of russian energy carries to the european energy market and supplying volumes of its own including liquefied natural gas, even if it is much more 25 to 30 percent more than russian. and in other

developments hooton's going to be meeting as syrian cantavon shall i said on wednesday for face to face talks. as i was arrived in moscow for an official visit, bringing a large diplomatic delegation with them, russian government says they'll talk about political trade in humanitarian issues as well as the conflict in syria. russia has been as as largest military backer, but his believe to pull some of his forces out since the invasion of ukraine or government in keith is again accusing russia of targeting civilians. reporting that one person was killed in a missile strike on the east and says he of clamor tours. a say 3 people will also wounded and 6 residential buildings damaged in the attack. calmer choice g, as just under an hour away from the frontline city of bartlet, which has been almost completely destroyed by russian shelling. as on my sued reports now from crematory asc. the missile attack can attacked this area that is in the center o for chroma tourist. and as we can see, the shelling a had

awe in pakistan, caches of iraq did between supporters of the former prime minister, enron con, and the police, as officers try to arrest him, police of fire, tear gas and water canada. hundreds of protest is gathered outside. conn's home in law. he asked if prime minister is facing several charges, including corruption and to manon has more now, ah police in the horse around at the residence of former prime minister emron. com . they promised to arrest him by the end of the day. speaking to supporters construct a defiant tone, murder up the saudis, and get under your lot. i don't, i'm fighting your fight, which i have struggled all my life and will continue to fight. but if they put me behind bars or kill me, but then you have to prove that without me this nation will struggle for freedom. enjoy. okay. there were confrontations between cons, orders, and the police car was ousted from power last year, but he remains

a popular figure. please wanted to attain him for failing to comply with order to appear in court to face dozens of charges. speaking exclusively to al jazeera, he denied any wrong doing. this is absolutely a fabricated girl. a allegation, it's naughty, we're no, there's nothing. it's not even contested by us. it's just a judge and an allegation made by the police by this government. now the 80 cases against a list just to let you know, in the last few months, every other day, there's a fresh case. so if there's a case of murder, there's a case of sedition. there's a case of blasphemy. there is a case of terrorism. so every other day there's a case, but some legal experts say calling refusal to appear in court is a serious matter. then the lawyers appeared on monday and under the like, the law the lawyer of implants on he just said that iran cannot because it can come to the court due to some security reasons. then on that it will high court give

directions to the police to the id that to be warranty. brandon 18th of march in this court, because it's a non billable warrant. and a judge has to be framed while charging a frame that you should be in the court. elections are set to take place later this year. cons rallies have been banned in recent days and to support to say, this is just another attempt to prevent him campaigning to help his party. vince monahan, al jazeera and out there is come on. hider has been reporting on this story. he has more information from islam about when it appears that it will take place sometime within the next few hours. the doors are the reports that we are getting a standoff still can get you the relation lobbying here. guy sharing the end to ron han residence that i'm on fog,

where hundreds of supporters have gathered and pushing the release back. the government also instructed the military force to also beef up the police id, apprehend generic that iran con, it's likely to be arrested sometime tonight. if you're ready and now it's an emergency committee of a leader. neither of the party who indicates that it will be making a decision. but in the meantime, people have come out and other good rally and other provinces being pro many are being made. and according to the latest information that we're getting prisoner runs, have been brought to the mind fog around. cons resident, did it anticipation that many of the borders will be arrested as the police will vent an attempt to arrest him? i should say pockets tony, political commentator and senior fellow, a department of war studies at king's college here in london. she joins me now.

thank you. i sure for your time, why does there appear to be a delay in the, in the arrest of enron, con, of course, we know that been threats to arrest him in the past. the interior ministry was very determined in saying that he would be arrested tonight. but it hasn't happened. well, it's because he's fighting back. i mean, he feels for his life. his party members also fear for his life. the believe that he will me, the story is that he feels that when he's taken, when he's arrested by the police anywhere between his house and detention, he may get killed. so there is fear for his life. and that's why they're pushing back. it's also a very good political fight back because even if they manage to arrest him, this is something which will go down in the memory of his support of his party and

indeed focused on and of course that he has his hard core supporters that prepared to do whatever it takes to prevent its arrest from taking place. what about the rest of the country as they see these scenes unfolding outside his home? does it in some way? fuel supports and long con and perhaps strength and that kind of perception that he is being unjustly and unfairly persecuted. well, you know, what was it about of 10 years ago there was a, a full own opinion full by galaxy. and it showed that in the cons, popularity was at 61 percent, the nearest was nevaeh. sri has a poland at about 36 percent. so already in ron khan is popular because of his pushback, not just to the political government and power but, but to the do the army, to the powerful army. and this is actually

a battle between bron khan and the army. not just between him and, and the political government. so this is likely to make this fight back is likely to make him more popular. how is this likely to it's very difficult to predict what is going to happen next, but it's not easy to have the army as your enemy and pakistan certainly not. but it's all for the 1st time that army has had an enemy was just not relenting. you know, in the past, you've seen political leaders who've been harassed by the army like the ball sharif . he has been arrested. he was arrested for jail, exalt for about 10 years in saudi arabia, that he returned to politics. ben, as he put doe, has been exiled. this one is actually doing his fighting in the streets of pockets on him and in some respects that makes him of it will popular than others. so the

army itself is no longer, i mean there is a division within the army itself. they off segments of the army would continue to support iran con, and that is where he's also drawing his strength from. i mean, let's not forget that. and the other thing is that there is this pushback, which is in some ways unprecedented. he is continuing to, you know, call name, sees, sees continuing to accuse the, the army, the other leader will try to do that. but then when silent was nevaeh sharif when he was exiled, he went into exile in london and he started criticizing the army chief, then general boswell and his eyes. i g till says i meet with then and started talking about giving respect to vote of the right people right to vote. but then he kind of made his compromise and when silent, this one continues to talk. in fact,

if you see that one of his last features that you've made to says people, his members, he said these referred to this one man, was taking all the decisions that we know with this one man is the one who cannot be named, which means the army chief, he's not referring to the prime minister. all right, thank you very much. i said, i shall said, joining us from the king's college here in london. thanks for analysis. now the death toll from tropical cycling friday in malawi, mozambique, and madagascar has risen to 220 after ripping through southern africa for a 2nd time. in a month, 190 of the dead were in malawi, which is declared a state of emergency after devastating floods and land slides. this is now one of the longest lasting tropical cyclades ever recorded. the storm started 37 days ago in the western pacific in his travel more than 8000 kilometers,

gathering strength over the indian ocean. it may landfall in madagascar as a tropical cycling. from there it moved on to batter mozambique for several days. it regained strength in the mozambie channel, then hit the country again, catching the southern part of a neighbouring malawi. so the government in malawi is now saying almost 60000 people have been affected of which about 19000 were displaced from their homes. but really the full extent of the loss of life is still unknown because search and rescue operations continuing, grief stricken families are desperately trying to identify loved ones in order to bury them. with a voice or for or for child. chloe. believe me, believe me, been off to open the door. then we have discovered that we have along the mud alone, ohio. the monroe over there is

a month. it was acquired by the whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, go and out there is family to mila has more news now from mil always capital longley. more than 12 districts in milan, we have been affected by tropical cyclone freddie, including the main city of blan tire with thousands of people have been affected. the government has said, at least a 190 people, have been killed due to the storm due to mud flights. flooding as well as very strong wind. 60000 people have been affected, at least 20000 of them had been displaced. the government has said that it fitting up camps to accommodate these people to ensure that they have some way to go. now

in neighboring was a big picture isn't as clear because telecommunications have been brought down as well as electricity and internet services. so it's been difficult getting a peer, a picture from mozambique where tropical cyclone freddy has now hit for a 2nd time in a month. this is one of the longest lasting tropical storms on record and had just become very concerning for people in the region. just given the extent of the damage, which in a country like mozambique has been difficult to determine. they have been measures put in place, including age agencies, trying to reach some of the worst affected areas and cleaners and be the region where at least 900000 people in was a big have been affected. but governments in both countries saying they're closely watching. what's going on and trying to put in place emergency services to assist as many people as possible. precious to was a journalist based in the law as join me now from blan tire. nearly 200 people had

been killed. the majority of the day from the cycling are in malawi, how would you describe the situation there now and how people coping? all right, as of now the decisions very pathetic as most of the people have been distressed because of the month like that happening at mount. so you, so people are now coming at different primary schools in the south talk on thing that is to make sure that the health shield on their lives as of now, i can say that almost all people that are in the primary schools and those that are in the teachers need to know how the music is to make sure that the they are leaving their coff doubly so i would say that the situation is very pathetic as we have the layer i've just talked in some few minutes ago. and we are not very sure

how long the last we spoke. is it going to continue all the last? so we are just waiting for people in the government to help those people that are in the comes to make sure that maybe they have been assisted in the and it is like lord, hold and others. also, this is also contributing by bringing their food to the people that are the industries and also they're not going to say it is a desperate situation. there isn't a government has declared a state of emergency so that really struggling to deal with this and to meet the needs of the people. and as you say, the important thing now is to help the thousands of people have been displaced by these floods and mud slides is any help getting to them. yeah, people are contributing to make sure that those people there are in the towns up in the state because some people are bringing in their blankets to make sure that those people that are in the gums,

being assisted. so i would say that people are helping those people that are very disparate in those camps. what is the plan now? because the weather is still looking very unpredictable and unstable. you have people that are stuck in the camps, then you have people that are trying to find loved ones. we still don't know how many people might have died because the search and rescue operations is still going on. what provisions are in place now? what contingency plans by the government to make sure that people have a safe place and safe shelter until this weather passes or as of now, i've seen ministers going to those guns in making sure that they're assisting them maybe. and also do range. i mean is, is that helping those people that are in the so i'll say that the government is widely assisting those people. because i've also seen some people from the minister

of here that are taking care of those people that are being injured, that taking them from the label. those people that are in the still in the house is to make sure that the take them to the hospital so that they get assistance as they wait for as long as you say, we still that have an accurate picture of the situation because of course, the communication has been down as well, but thank you very much. thank you. precious am to for joining us that from bland tire and malawi. thank you so much, lawyer. still want to bring you on this news. our president joe biden signed an executive order to type not background check some firearms off the lawmakers block . most efforts for gun control the u. s. weather service warns of heavy rains in california would lead to more catastrophic flooding them. and later in sport, find out who has been brave enough to pick a fight with one of the most dangerous men in the world.

ah, i good to see. we've got another mile push of air coming for the islands of ireland and britain. it's going to take a bit of time though to make its way to london, but hang tight by thursday. you'll be in double digits, and for the south of france, northern eastern, in southern spain, in this. so we've had temperatures in the thirty's, in some cases, setting records. but those winds are now shifting around. so that means a drop in temperatures for places like valencia by 10 degrees to just 22 on wednesday. birth of rain to come for a turkey, a actually rate along that border with syria and our earthquake zone. certainly running the risk of seen some flooding here on wednesday. also for the g and coast here as well. we've got some downpours in the forecast. also torrential rain for that western side of the balkan snow over the higher ground is were drying down

that cooler air from the north. but again, that mile push of air will come. so zurich, big change in here, temperatures in the days to come in as far we've had high temperatures, is around senegal and bali bubble of heat here at temperatures about $4546.00 degrees and to southern africa we go, we can still trace out remnants leftovers of storm friday, once again back in the moves and b channel and looks like a whites and windy day for south africa, south coast on wednesday. okay. my time's up. i'll see you in a bit. ah blah blah blah will say you're just the lads. the ballade never leave a bottle. know him if my son that the national food, i did them your eyes, she was the visit on maybe now you will not few.

ah, a fraud takes on the big issues. this is not one of you talking about a systemic issue here. black labs don't really matter in the police world unflinching questions. this war with lawanda, imminent rigorous debate. people who are dying because of lack of medical treatment, challenging conventional wisdom. the fact that people are starting to get angry about this is in itself a sign of progress. join me more. come on, who for upright? what al jazeera. ah ah,

welcome back. look at the main stories now. the u. s. is condemned. what it called a reckless maneuver by russian jet that brought down one of its surveillance drugs . and to can says the fight, jack collided with the head with the propeller of the drone, as it was flying over the black sea south of ukraine. russia is denied. it's jack came into contact with the driver saying it crashed you took shot maneuvering. several people have been wounded in clashes between pakistani police and supported the former prime minister in long con, protest to rob it outside his house in la hor, off to pocket sounds. interior minister said con would be arrested by the end of the day. and the death toll from metropolis liked, and friday, and malawi, mozambique, and madagascar has risen to 220. after ripping through southern africa for 2nd time in a month, a $190.00 of the dead that were in malawi, which has declared a state of emergency about us president joe biden is issued an

executive order tightening background checks on firearms. he's chosen to do this as an event in monterey park, california where 11 people was shot dead by a lone gunman during a lunar new year celebration in january. it's one of a 110 mass shootings that have happened in the us so far in 2023. that's an attack where at least 4 people were killed or injured. more than 8300 people have been killed over all by gone violence. this year in the us, more than half of those have been by suicide. biden's order will direct the attorney general to clamp down on vendors who fail to carry out proper checks. and to clarify who qualifies as a dealer. to day, i'm announcing others your keyboard. no accelerating, intensify this work to save more lives more quickly. first was executive order helps keep firearms out of dangerous hands. as i continue to call on congress to require

a background checks for all firearms sale me time. my lunch, my attorney general day, every lawful action possible possible. the move was as close as we can to universal background checks without new legislation. so let's get one out from john hendrick, who's in monterey park in california. tell us more about this announcement from biden and how significant this a tightening of the background checks is going to be. that's right. the president seeks to enhance background checks by cracking down on or by requiring the department of justice to crack down on those people who are selling guns, but not performing the background checks either because they're doing it. i mistakenly thinking they don't need to do the checks or vice cough laws who are not carrying out those checks. it also asks the government to do

a study on how gun makers are marketing to minors. and it encourages red flag laws . those are the laws that temporarily remove guns from people who are deemed dangerous and gun storage rules. so the president's executive actions are really designed to do what he can on his own without enacting new legislation. but he also asked for new legislation from congress, something he's not likely to get under the current congress. now i'm outside the star dance lounge, which is where the shooting occurred here in this community in monterey park, california. and i've got a member of the community here who can talk to me. if you'd come and join me please, this is neu away. she is planning commissioner of alhambra county, but also you are a member of this community. you can tell us a little about what happening you were at the speech today. let me ask you 1st. what did you think of what the president had to say? well, i will say that, you know, this charge you to have been to our community really deeply affected our community

because it's not just a dance studio from our culture. it's actually a community for our seniors, for a lot of members of our community to come together. and you know, a lot of in our culture that a lot of our parents generation, they raised us and they made a lot of sacrifices for raising the family. and now the kids are gone and this is the community that they come together and spend their life with. so it's really deeply affected us. and then for also the asian communities are not very vocal and love very spoken. so a lot of us are grieving in silence. so for, for the president to actually make a trip out here and sees the struggle is and willing to take actions on this means a lot to us and we're deeply grateful for that. in the present i mentioned that this is entitling it community. as you were saying, just tell me a little bit about how shocking it must be in a place like this where you really don't expect that to happen. yeah,

we really don't expect this to happen. so it's really, really shocking, i think. and after the event happened, i woke up the morning and received so many text messages of phone calls from my community just to check on me. and i did that for other members of the community and our families and friends and it just, i think the reaction i was getting from our community is that we're all in shock. we. we just can't we, we don't even feel anything else other than the shock the we, we don't expect this to happen. we especially don't expect this to happen during our chinese new year celebration, which is the time that we, we come together to celebrate. well, i want to thank you for talking to us. this is knowing your wang, i planning commissioner and a member of the community here. and we talked a little earlier in one of the things nor you said with this was a good 1st step. many people in the community would like to see more done with their glad the president is doing something. all right, well,

thank you very much. monterey park california. thank you very much, john hendrick for reporting to us. or as you can see from myrtle bit over the climate there around john hendrick, california has been soaked by the latest in a series of atmospheric river storms with the national weather service producing further, catastrophic floods, emergency crews near the town of haro close to central california. coastline trying to repair breaks in a levy which led to the settlement being flooded. more than 8000 people had to be evacuated. dozens of rescues were also carried out. why did your casara joins me live now from the scene? what sit like their high d? marry him, there was a brief moment of sunshine this morning, but as you can see, the wind is really picking up now all around me because yet another storm system is coming right behind it. another week of rain is with anticipated to fall

a top pa her row, and that is very bad news for the people who called this farming community home. they're not here right now. they were all forced to evacuate after that. levy breached on friday, and now they're across the river that over fluid that over all of that went over its banks and they have been spending the morning just watching, wistfully wondering what has come become of their homes. we have been able to go around of it and there are homes that have been inundated by a flood waters. these waters have receded, but again, because more rain is anticipated, they will likely grow in level once again, 1700 people call this community home. many of them are immigrant farm workers, so it's sort of a double whammy for them and that not only are their homes damaged, possibly lost, but also the many fields in this area that calls itself the salad bowl of the world,

producing fruits and vegetables that gets shipped all around. well, those fields are now under water right at picking season, which means lost jobs for those farm workers, as well as more atmospheric rivers are predicted to bring more precipitation. here . what is the long term impact of this heidi? right, it is really that recovery from agriculture laws that will be the most difficult because the major impediment there is the uncertainty of when will this community even have a chance to recover? they just suffered around of flooding in january previous to that there had been more floods. and because of the impact of climate change, this varying from one extreme to another be a drought or more precipitation from atmosphere rivers. there is simply no break for this region to recover the soil,

recover those crops. and the people who lived here for decades are mourning the loss. what was, you know, their normal way of life. i'm counting on this region to be a beautiful part of the country. that produces great food, they fear that that part of their history is no longer the case. all right, thank you very much. hi, dieter castro for siena from a barrow in california where we're following all the stories. of course this how the u. s. tech giant matter. is announced another huge round of redundancies, cutting 10000 jobs matter which owns facebook, instagram and whatsapp previously laid off 11000 employees in november, c, e o. mark zuckerberg says the companies facing a new economic reality off to profit slowed significantly last year. will the markets in the united states have stabilized a bit after a tobin a couple of days caused by the collapse of 2 major banks over the weekend, buying shares opened and closed higher in the new york stock exchange on the street . investors have been reassured by report,

but in recent weeks, we've seen a sharp evaluation. it is now trading at $100000.00 lire to the dollar. at the start of this year, it was trading at $50000.00 lire to the dollar before the economic crisis in late 2019. it was trading at $1500.00. so this is the 100000 bill. this bank note is the biggest bank note in circulation before the economic crisis. that was worth $67.00 a dollars. now it's worth a dollar. now this is causing a lot of suffering because the majority of the population earn in the local currency and lebanon is an import dependent country. it imports almost everything, it needs, so prices keep on, on rising. in fact, if you go to supermarkets, everything now is priced in dollars because the store owners are not able to keep up with the fluctuating exchange rates. what are the authorities doing?

the central bank has tried to stabilize the market a few times by pumping dollars into the market, but it's just not working. in fact, what is happening is it is, it is damaging the foreign currency reserves before the crisis is there were $30000000000.00 in the central bank. now, $10000000000.00. the solution is for the authorities to carry out much needed economic structural reforms. reforms that will hurt politicians who are in power. they've been reluctant to do that. but unless they do that, then, then the currency, which really is worthless. you can, you can barely buy anything with this. and now we'll just continue to devalue even further. now, judicial enquiries underway into greece is deadly israel disaster in which $57.00 people were killed last month. some of the responsibility for the crash could fall

on the italian state. railways, great, which operates greece, is passenger trains. but there is also anger at a government for fighting to install at today's safety technology. as john srp list reports from offense. throughout greece, there is fury with the government by its own admission, it failed to install safety systems. it could have told human operators, 2 trains were on a collision course. many of those killed were students. one of them, a colleague of santos, vanities. it's just unimaginable. that's on a country's my central rail route. you wouldn't have a backup system that tells you what direction to trends are traveling it, whether they're going to collide. greek real has largely relied on humans systems centered on this room inside the hellenic railways organization headquarters. this is the nerve center of the greek rail network. a central traffic coordinator sense of this disc, trained drivers,

give him their whereabouts through this vhf radio system. and he plots the progress on this paper chart. but this completely manually operated system is not all knowing a local station master can switch tracks without telling the coordinator. that is what happened on the night of february 28th, when, according to leaked testimony, a station master's switching mistake. since the northbound passenger train, 62 up a south bound track into an oncoming freight train. killing 57 people. a veteran head of rail security says that mistake wouldn't have happened in the days when 3 people sat in this room. and as other wash head brush, they used to be an experienced train driver and an experience training specialist who sat with a traffic coordinator. they were in contact with station masters and trained drivers across the country. if any mistakes happened, they were fixed within 2 or 3 minutes. he had an trained it away with that

institution in late 2020. what is it with your line hellenic train is the hellenic railways. organization subsidiary that runs greek passenger trains. it was sold to the italian state railways group in 2017, to cut costs. the italian management abolished route checking inspectors on trains over examiners. if the inspectors duties had been left intact, train $62.00 wouldn't have left the station on the wrong track. and if he had, he would have used the emergency brake. yeah. if the attending company doesn't want to enforce safety rules and that they can return the shares in hellenic train under the greeks dates go home. helena train didn't respond to our requests for comment. what's clear is that the greek state failed to install 21st century safety technology and but the italian train operator cut stuff with safety roles. 57 people died in the crash. real experts say was utterly avoidable. jumps out las al
