10:31 am
as quite strong late on friday evening. a time when many were enjoying themselves relax, single out socializing. at the end of the week, 10 to tragedy, a desperate search for survivors under the rubble began was rescue missions have tried to reach remote mountainous areas in need of help and medical aid and todd towns and villages have been flattened. many people left homeless and others severely injured, the many dead being wound across the country. the magazine, 6.8 of quick shuck markers high up plus mountains at 11 minutes past 11 on a friday night. there was severe damage to buildings, especially old ones, traditionally constructed 70 kilometers away. the historic city of myra cache also is widespread destruction when we talking to our guest shortly on how the country is coping and what challenges my head. but 1st, let's hear from our correspondent jonah ho, who's in mara, cash,
10:32 am
or as the desktop continues to rise, and with a casualty, numbers, injury numbers, as well as rising foss. this in those remote rural mountain communities. 70 kilometers south west of here in mount a cache where the epi center of the, so a quick was west, felt communities hard to reach at the very best of times, often described as marginalized in this country. the train line doesn't go any further south than modification itself. wind the mountain roads, along which rescue as have struggled to pass with boulders strewn across them. as a result of ruffles, more and more, we are now hearing reports that places this happens. risk receive formal health are receiving formal health places like more light raheem as me is me. and how do i done all of whom i have encountered enormous damage? it's very clear from the pictures to see these, these brick and play bill dwellings instructions that was simply no match for
10:33 am
friday nights. like rescue is now digging through the rubble still in a race against time. bodies lie in the open air covered by blankets. in some cases, a mass graves, a beam, douglas funerals, a health and a cost like and supplies running out. the interior ministry here says it is mobilizing all results is at its disposal. the military is in charge of the operation and he's rushing clean water, food, tents, and blankets to these areas. meanwhile, low cost in amount of cash flow also seems of destruction in the old historic center of this city lives up and the economic play as well as humanitarian losses, suffered lots of people sleeping out in the open in times square as he has some of them having lost their homes, others simply terrified of the possibility of strong off to show many would have packed up this morning in the intense september heath and moved on perhaps to what
10:34 am
remains of their homes. so i'm simply unable to and i'll show you why inside these warrens of o, ancient alleyways in the medina area here show not built to the highest, perhaps specifications to withstand situation. that's why cuz this magnitude, these are extremely old buildings. and those i said, seems like this with the a, the old city of modification, a glimpse of the site and of just the amount of terry notions. but to see it can all make losses in the city as well. joe, to help in market for inside story the well, that spring in guests now and in america. so we have to have to have that she's a witness and community volunteer in the affected areas. in 1st is some of the penis co founder and as to him, chief of morocco, world news,
10:35 am
and then the south hampton. we have my, how much my, the cust, johnny associate professor of the structural engineering at the university of south hampton. and i will welcome to all of you. thank you for being here on inside story . i want to start by getting a bit more of a picture of events on friday, evenings to her. so the in the are a cash. well you, when the quite struck just off to 11 pm at night, what happens? uh, actually i was sleeping with my baby boy in my bed. when that happened. uh, it was the like, you know, the whole apartment was checking the bed was checking, and it was very shocking because i was taping. i didn't really know what was happening, but i just had the, you know, there is thing to work my baby and to, to run away. and then when i, i was like in just in my building in the stairs, i heard all my number's, my neighbors screaming me and the kids. so that's what,
10:36 am
that's restricted me when i saw kids crying and trying to find the parents. this is when i really like, i relied like something big happens. and then my big, my baby was sleeping actually. but when we went outside and so like, we heard people screaming and you know, like a big time is everywhere. he woke up and he talked to to, you know, to get scared. so i just told him like, don't worry, there was a big party going to on the, in the see, we are just having fun all together. it's okay. don't like, you know, i really tried to, to, to show anything to my baby because i don't, i didn't want him to buy me can. so we had this, this was my 1st for us like the that might because it, so to last. so it gives them to people and morocco on to use to us quakes they, they may not have known. well that was certainly not what to do. yeah, exactly. like we're not used to that. so we didn't know like if it was
10:37 am
a bomb or if it was a natural disaster. and then then people just took the car or, you know, whatever, they could just escape the places where, you know, we have buildings on the street, then we, we street and went to the parks or to the parking square. people started to just, uh, you know, relies what's, what's happening. and, yeah. menu menu to us. we just slipped outside. nobody for the enter to, to the, to how to mohammed this was the biggest as quite to hit morocco in a 120 years. can you describe the geology of it to us? yes, and i think it isn't most of the earthquakes the that they accept their own live or historically he's at the boundary of the tech tony place. so some morocco is located at the location where it's the regime plate with the template that they
10:38 am
need. so this is right in the boundary. so as like the right, that's what happens is the boundaries this play take. the place is constantly moving and then pushing point biggest each other. so what else will get guys is essentially when material between these 2 bran brandy are displayed. pushing gave each other. it's time to take any, any, any, any more force so that he breaks that fracture is essentially like truck, an explosion. is that pricing really then energy cost of the, the, the increase essentially gravel shaking. so i would know this. yes, it didn't happen. and so then the after, after a few few years, it happened then, and that's essentially what it's called last week. and if you have noticed some of the people who would say before the actually the feel of the shape gravel city, they had had some horrible noise coming coming through. and that's essentially the sound that because the sound arrives earlier before the actual the debate due to
10:39 am
the ground checking out. and that's essentially what caused the as good as interesting and some of the, well we who, when the quick hit i just got back from, from about to see my mother and the i was playing with my vision and i'm going to both her and i went to the, for the my sister told me they never been what's going to be the name of the speed they going to be sign it or you like, what do your site then the the, some of you guys' sole source of swinging that's of size the fall space then later your items, we have gone to escalate to as a strong box and they needed to be my 1st reaction was in june for everybody to but also the house. we went to the government and i got my phone like what made your brothers, what are you most think? first channel name and then if the house is in the end,
10:40 am
it's only for me just the for the best. everybody in the house and for the funeral. so any of the shops of the i then i in the office told me the same. the bus on the 1st of the functional 1st when we turn into the finish the turn. so let's wait an interest. i always just sent to my surprise, the good comments i'm saying the same in the case modification and that it, in the meantime, i mean, i realize the sweetie, emerald, we were facing a nationwide the 1st going as far as the, you know, and, and that's where this happened in many places and we're the ones that are localized
10:41 am
. that's the investigation. there's going we. so i think there's, which is located 570 when maybe some, some people say if we, if we look a little bit more now at the epicenter, because that was in the high atlas mountain south of mara cash. and that's where a lot of the rescue efforts and now being centered. so how, what do we know of the situation in the villages the outside of assessing? some of them very removes, like the situation is like the problem for people who want to help is that the roads are close by of threes. because of course, for the security they need to, uh, to may be if i create the new people, the people that when the newly find, so they and the roads are also like very n, steve. uh so there, there are like many drop off points near the villages. uh,
10:42 am
like the citizens can just come there and distribute them deep, deep uh, you know, the water for the meal or whatever they have to share it. so yeah, this is the only way that we can help from outside of the village is because there was um, around the villages are not safe and they are like closed for our security by door to reach you. do you know if they will start to use have reached every one who needs help? you know, know like, uh, we can see on social media as many people from the villages. there was a village. the name is adair, still i think and they're asking people to it's, it's um, may be almost 3 hours from or i guess, and they're asking like people please come, come help us because nobody came now and we are like, we have no food. we have nothing, we just need help, but there are like places where it's very, very hard to reach. and there is like almost no network. and i think that's also
10:43 am
with the er creek. the roads are also damaged by, you know, by the mountains. so they're in place of like, i think that nobody, nobody reached this place. so for now, some of these areas that are very remote and have been long renewed by the government on say these villages, the roads to them would not have been good in the 1st place. i'm a one does what sort of services exist? the if nothing is coming in from outside, what is the health situates health service situation the like, what is the food situation like in these places? they were the ones to run the media and the tv is so yesterday in a model house, and that would be more of a diverse resources to work. i mean, there is to review in, in my experience for children to broad thing with the terms and conditions that are we doing. what are the good, he says, i found that the patients,
10:44 am
the, on the best way is located in the area. we choose not. so i'm with this, how babies and from the structure and deal with this process from the going to the front of the house for, for vacation. and no, and i just noticed or its being unable because uh. busy i would have to be just as far on the, using the small cuz we're not allowed to bring the ship, but are very different just because no incentives the turner is, is facing despite all the sources. the result of the house on the board is, is, is how the boxes are. these are the most areas because as far as the garage uh, truck side of the heavier no. the senior was sold in moses are uh,
10:45 am
you know, because of the rugs the same page because the, the boss on best way. so uh no, that's why i was so unsure said the despise the deformed. so the front of the doors house because the hours of the there's going, there are many people are us to uh, reach them and uh, this, uh, the best way to get it done. so the 1st thing needs to be done uh uh, from the bank of the lease, uh, typically needs to locate the damage and the human laws. and the, and the how that if we look at these buildings in these villages that people have managed to reach. we can see the houses of just fold it in on themselves. can you give us an idea of how they were constructed and, and how that contributed to the devastation in this as quick?
10:46 am
i mean, the, i mean what we have sitting in morocco, we have city really sitting on the screen. we have seen very similar damages into our key or another, whether it's something you know, can conceive. so remedial is, is the same as story. we see the open enrollment and all that. so these are just the, just the section what we call them non engineering building. so the main, we may say that we don't know very high and low one or max or 2 story building may, may october breaking, played so generally in escalate these awful anything besides the load and the centurylink would be some, some of the ground shaking. think they pulled down so that's a, that's the area and so forth. is on some more recent where they would look great, what's concrete, but they have not the game. david felt bad, nothing to me, that just every morning email can show it or, or then it'd be faded away from that actually a piece of them. but again, those buildings but not the recently design will be based on the size make
10:47 am
his own code so. so then just sort of stand the buildings. so those are the main problems. and unfortunately most of these buildings are relocated in the villages at all. and obviously it is very difficult to rescue them block as you want to explain the into school. so a, so it means that really everyone's more effort to actually identify and do something about these really just because this is this, i wouldn't know about aspects of it. we don't know where that happens. but we know that is that on a slick program, we have to do something before a disaster like this this, this happens to be prepared, essentially 40. so if we look at our cash says they own stacy, the medina, that was very badly damaged as well. just to walk us through what you've been seeing there on the streets. yeah. like this morning i've been there and the whole monday night is completely destroyed the 8 so very painful to see that because you know, it's the heart of the city is the, is the history. oh,
10:48 am
so the city and this is like, you know, up like you know more and more i guess it's a world right city and we know it because of it's medina. um very, very hard to do with the stacked. yes. submit. when you have, i saw, i saw you looking particularly upset by hearing that the medina has been so badly destroyed, should it's have been what trophy said to be able to withstand a seismic event like this given its historic significance. the problem with the median on his leg work as well says or been just weren't about speech, find emergencies of a world. they don't, they are kind of insurance. so cities, those were be the funding $21110.00 centuries ago. and the 1st part of this building are going to show you, i won't be no strong more than the because they don't because they're kind of top
10:49 am
of the we just bought a lot of the dollars over the past. so they get into the case house. you know, you know, last names uh, uh, usually for sure as far as many they sort of in these were there any markets for us or what those issues, unforeseen, not as part of the form of cancer, most is very upsetting as well as i mean. and as, as more of them was very, give me, i boss to early story isn't the problem. let's do this as soon as we can just from our system for me and for the for the heart of the it is very sad to see of the dimensions to choose margaret, which is august. i say that is our is going to assume one of the city of detroit. the interesting point is i just want to sort out some of them and ask him whether an ancient, a building such as we see in medina, can be restored appropriately and withstand
10:50 am
a seismic event. but yes, they tell me, i mean the it'd be up against the size of the face become essential. right, right. so if we these, these ation monument because they weren't having face the different methods to do it. so easy bikes do of, you have a science and technology to do these things. it's all to do with the cost and you know how the government is planning to do these things. but in order, in terms of the notice in the junior, i think that the science we are well even up to actually do these things are mentioned about cycling or installation or the other other method that we could potentially use to, to, to, to, to real feet on are you activity? they don't hesitate to read this on the s voice co pays for that. what is the thing to do or where to come from the government? so i mean, it depends on the country. so, so the government, whoever is responsible for it to, to, to, for the, for those the money where they need the nation. so they,
10:51 am
they normally pay for what are these, these, the base of somebody when we look at be the villages these very remote places. but especially haven't really sort of have much government assistance, should we expect the government to put top of money that is needed to build their homes appropriately to withstand another us quick in the discrete discussion. so just to join, what's the motion on exploring the agencies? i think uh the sign the, the actual, the, it won't be much more as far as a decision. so just because the question is on the. ready printer, so sign up on through us go used to be special. i think the issue is happening to the play store or the asian spirit is up to the door. them explain what's going on, where to go to the critical section of the the motors in getting better than some of those were a strong by just quite
10:52 am
a bit. and i just mean come into the garbage room to deploy all the civil resources, to be sure to really be on the areas of the things and take all the measures. so the new for us trust and this would be the best thing, best areas where we're going to spanish one be uh, assessment, cuz there's these terms alone. we with the $4.00 that you wouldn't have it. and which kind of thing. uh, queen intuitive because no we didn't. this has to be on the square. and one of the, a strong words on this sort of mission for all the gotten to a form the issue that happened in the interest. so how do you feel that the government is doing enough for a poster in myra cache? uh said that many people having to sleep outside as many people still all haven't
10:53 am
received any assistance. but any formal assistance from the government will very much relying on each other to help each other. and there's a lot of anger that, you know, i, 3, i think that the government is doing their best to help everyone and the most the needed people. because nobody like we didn't expect that. so it came by surprise it so i think it's fix some days to organize it to, to try to help people as much as they can. so i really think they're doing the best i so i so some for distribution, some water distribution on the street, even the done by the police. so yeah, um i think the government is doing their best because it just came by surprise and nobody, it's never like to know really, really for that, especially merkle where we never really experience that kind of design for so many
10:54 am
of the 11, how much is being offered from outside some questions off spring goals, why morocco hasn't formerly requested assistance yet. the. busy one the i think has been so so far. busy the government things that's our top 0 does have a cheese around the. busy resources on google to go into work phase, the aftermath of the way that we have seen just a day that the can get the structure. the research on seems like the lights are all set. so they're on the cross draws and do the engineering just to have the yours. but despite the is the more of an expertise i've seen this box on, once it's reading it's reading mean the expertise on the big. busy so they saw, so i'll say something that's gone by surprise. the rundown as far as the most
10:55 am
expensive expansion was reading to do with the situation over mice. and i think it's, we've taken a few days for the dishes to realize the name, 4 o 4 in the season. so gotcha. born in the front of the country to be the mitchell with the spring and the have been off to shocks. uh, how dangerous all these and how long should people expect to be feeling them for? to the yeah. so what we saw that there was one of the think yes that with this morning it was, it was around for my for say and one of them as with what we saw it turn key, but the they, they can go a few days. reeves something a month after the event. so the reason we get off the sugar is deb and then as i said below the ground,
10:56 am
everything is in equipment. we once we get the fraction. so this of the system will always be area. so until everything gets set, so, so this to get more move, but during the moment we get more breakage including the big like what we saw here asking a big official. let me see here is this motor. and actually when begin this more and more as good, it's more to the shop when they come in. so that's actually good because it really is really so they do, they essentially have more time to be out of the big, big practice. so they can go for a few days, months, but, but as time goes that reproduce, that means that would come down. but we can say for sure when they have stuff. so i just want to get the last what to hear because this is a traumatic event. as you highlighted in the beginning, i want to get an idea from you and from the people around you, how you are coping with the psychological aspects of this. i know that some of my neighbors just left the country because they couldn't handle the i'm 50, for example. uh for me when i came back to my apartment yesterday. uh,
10:57 am
the only thing that i wanted to do is just to you know, to, to clean all the water because of my apartment and my flood. and i also called the timber to fix everything. i came to everything. maybe just to pretend nothing happened. i don't know this, this was my way to, you know, to handle the, to handle the things. and then i just went to the supermarket and i, i, you know, i put me as much as the thing i put in my car to, to go to, to distribute for, for the distribution today. and the to, to have to do so that the country is where they come together to deal with this. yes, and that's very beautiful to see. uh, there was a big solidarity between people. you know, now i feel like in the city there is no more distance between people. we feel we are a whole big family. uh the supermarkets are full of people. uh,
10:58 am
trying to get her basic needs to to just leave and drop her drop a fine, sorry. so yeah, even the, even though they ask for uh, is trying to help as much as they can from, from the outside. uh so yeah it's, it's very beautiful to see how we can do. we can just be fine with the instructor to how to 12 each other. okay, well we certainly wish you well as you walk through these difficult days ahead, so ha ha, summit venice and how much did cash on 8, thanks very much for joining us here on the on to 0. i'm thank you to for watching, you can see the program again any time by visiting our website. that sounds is there a dot com for further discussion to goes well, facebook page, that's facebook dot com forward slash ha inside story. it wasn't during the conversation on x a handle is at a, inside the story from a laura carl and the whole team here is $500.00.
10:59 am
the the
11:00 am
how do states console information? how does the narrative improve public opinion? how is this as intended? listen, we flaming the story, the listening post, i think the media, we don't cover the news, we cover the way the news is cover. the humanitarian aid slowly reaches some villages in our office call just hit by the click on friday, but many towns are still cut off the spelling of your taste.
