the, your guy to the media on out is the around the land of the free america has never been a real democracy. the black people never experience democracy may be excludes divisions and struggles in america's electoral system. aside for and against equal representation, and the democratic process is the country that's learning how to be a democracy, but it's not there yet. one person, one vote on al jazeera of the cold. and i'm told stories from asia and the pacific on now to see the at least 400 people announce that in me on mondays office by clinton. marcus went through parts of the country.

the hi, my name's write this down to their life and also coming up the battle for control of haiti's capital l g 0 meets one of the most powerful gang. lead is accused of killing civilians. tens times in the holes of power and ecuador with impeachment proceedings on the way against president gamblin. last of us officials, one of growing threats from china as the asian power aims to modernize its monitoring the will you begin with me on more with a scale of devastation left by cycling market is imagine at least 400 people are now known to have died following sunday school, rocky and state home to be persecuted by hanging minority was one of the worst hit areas. communication has been caught on roads have been locked,

slowing rescue efforts. let's go straight to tony chang has lawn for us in bangkok . tony, those casualty numbers still growing. what is the latest you can tell us? they are going into the although the official numbers from me and most government have still only 19 say talent as those increased from 2 yesterday. so those are still lagging severely behind the numbers that we're hearing from the ring. good communities, around cit, when we're kind state, they say that now more than 400 people have been a, have died in the disaster and have been buried. they don't expect those numbers to increase much more terrible is that is and devastating is that will be for those communities. i think it, it's actually that were real concern. so this psych current could be as devastating of no more so than cycling in august that hits in 2008 that left a 138000 people that in the n r and exposed all of the weaknesses of the

infrastructure at those very same weaknesses of the in scituate, particularly in the right hand good camps, which the full of make shift. the accommodation blogs barely built of just wouldn't polls and plastic sheeting, but thankfully, the most people seem to survive this and i think now the danger is past. the questions really going to be about rebuilding that very fragile lives. yeah, tell us a little more about that. i mean, what sort of destruction are we talking about? what's it gonna take to get the situation back up and going but think this is going to be the problem. i mean, much is it is terrible for those people that the 400 faith thomas's there are now more than a 100000 people who are going who is going to have to rebuild their lives. and these comes many of the images we've seen a show, whole area is flat. that makes shift accommodation,

which was temporary at the best of times. although it's been the the home since 2017. yeah. those are being flat and apparently a lot of food stores have been lost. you know, the, the structures of a holding them and the rains that followed and the flooding in some case of the washed away a lot of the rice that was being stored. those people did have employment, would have lost what they've been. a lot of it would have been in the fishing business and we've seen images of terrible devastation and the poets along the coast. the fishing boats just tossed up intending to tend to sticks live, stop lying dead in flood the ditches kind of thing. the other problem is here that any aid that is sent in the will not naturally come to those rank refugees. and this comes to the corner of the problem that these people are essentially stateless . and this was the complaint that they didn't have any official registration with the government. and any aid that does come in, whether it's from them,

us government, or from outside, will naturally get be directed by the government to those who can show the citizenship. and that doesn't apply to the rank is rank us. so i think, you know, it is going to be doubly bad for those people who have now lost a lot of that livelihoods and won't be eligible for the any of the 8 that comes in . okay, so anything that 1st live in bangkok, the judges era has spoken exclusively to one of the most powerful gang leaders in haiti . jimmy share a see it leads the federation of 9 groups on his accusing. politicians are fueling violence. he's been accused of human rights violations. spot insist that he's fighting to provide basic services for the people to raise a boat, met him in a tooth capital it's known as the g 9 and family and i life
