7:02 pm
was i'm least 2 dams holding huge amounts of water burst, sending a wave towards the city. satellite imagery shows them before the floods. the 1st them was 12 kilometers upstream. the 2nd damn was on the city's outskirts. when the dam was crumbled, almost like a reversed tsunami. the, what's it cut through done is neighborhoods destroying bridges, roads and hines, sweeping residents out to sea as the waves struck the low line coastal town. during that had a population of around a $100000.00. the human cost of the disaster is still being counted. the total is huge and so it might teach to thousands really, but we don't have a different number right now. maybe later today or the maximum by the in the morning tomorrow we do, we do have different numbers reviewed. i did ship libya, has 2 governments. the leader of the eastern administration into brook says the

7:04 pm
death tool is only going to rise in the next couple of days. many are saying that the libyan authorities, whether it's the payload government in the east or the internationally recognized government here in the west, are not capable of handling such a disaster. so there's been an appeal for international assistance, and we're starting to see that poor and we saw a coming in from egypt of the chief of staff with the military arrives and been gauzy. just a little while ago they brought in aid and also a military helicopters to try to help authorities weeds of the most impacted areas like the city of doesn't that we saw also shipments from turkey arriving. i thought the u a. e will soon arrive in eastern libya. but what i can tell you is that we're seeing libyans come together to try to reach the people in suit and
7:05 pm
specifically in the city of deadman the. and the hope is that the politicians can set aside the differences. and cooperate and focus on getting help to those in need . now, trina, ultra 0 tripoli because we just had a, it is beginning to arrive to help flood victims in libya and took you said 3 cargo planes around 170 rescue personnel from its disaster management tools. always. he well bold, they've landed in ben guns. the results of that has moved from a stumble to the turkish military plains that were carrying a landed in then guys and which is quite rare because because turkey is like 4 of the 3 poorly based government. not then guys, the base government led by funding for half that. so that is an exception for now. and according to the disaster and emergency management to, to,
7:06 pm
to of take you 168 out surface and on the water. a search and rescue personnel landed in then ghazi, and in that 3 planes there were blankets. jen, retailers, hygiene kids rein, quotes, the rescue of vehicles and also and also voice and the dental tour. do you see that these was the 1st respond to the international call by the libyan government? and they say that in the coming days they are going to provide even more as the scale of the station is quarantine. that's what took you. lydia is quite an important come for it taking place in north of africa. so keep in good relations with libya for check. yes. several reasons. so to, to itself has gone to several natural disaster this year. i'm on the other hand, geopolitically. so turkey wants to keep a, an offer,
7:07 pm
have you submitted to them yet, and to do that. it needs to have good relations with to the pony because tricky. using a competition. putting it was gross and the grease in east mediterranean. and also several churches companies, particularly the construction companies, have huge investments in, in, in libya. he looks like a is the vice president of the international committee of the red cross. he says there was an urgent need to scale up 8 operations and eastern libya. according to our colleagues and of course, the bottom tiers of the lead, genuine crescent working on the ground. the situation is extremely dire. a hundreds and hundreds of people may have died, a thousands more affected people are missing. so what we have immediately done is to provide that, you know, we have been cuba, so up to the, across all those years of conflict, we have warehouses with stocks. so immediately we supported the lead in, but trust for them to use in the data,
7:08 pm
not region in the east to provide like saving systems to head and then event creates people stranded in the emergency. now is to save lives and provides 1st aid . and then we're also seeking to assess the overall situation because what we need to be need to do. so it's a new shelter, water, food and assistance for all the victims of these. so 30 both setting. we had stocks before that because we had a response to the special needs team for the communities who had been affected by the conflict. and it presents, there is a needs to scale up. of course, the stress funds, the international movement of the red cross and red crescent, is doing so together with the region the crescent on the spot, but also together with the other national societies of the red cross and red crescent. the
7:09 pm
international aid has also begun to reach morocco as the desktop. on fridays, a quick rise is the number of dead has recently reached out. 3000 rescue teams all searching for those fed trapped into the rubble, but relief efforts have yet to reach some remote villages because hack is my from where i got the south of battery cash. obviously we're getting very close to 96. i was know, nick, since the quake struck some aid has reached areas, some hasn't was the situation like where you are a well 1st look at how surprising it is for many people here that it's taking so long for 80 to arrive to this area and i'll explain to you why look right behind me so that massive mountain? well, 19 kilometers across it is the, at the center of the earthquake were almost and thanks for. and there are many
7:10 pm
villages deep in this mountain that had been cut off. and that security services have not been able to reach, we've seen it to not kelly copped has dropped food deep down there and in normal circumstances. so it would just take a couple of hours drive to get there. now its almost been 4 days and they still haven't managed to get there. meanwhile, here in with gun, we're seeing people taking matters into their own hands and making building. this makes shift 10 hours ago. it was just a few tents and now it's expanding. and as the days and the hours go by, this is turning into a humanitarian crisis, where there's many, many people who are homeless in displaced that need help food, shelter, and blankets. because at night the temperatures here dropped to 0 degrees celsius. we met an old man who had spent 4 days and sleeping rough outside. he came
7:11 pm
here to get some of the blankets that has been distributed, not by the government, not by authorities, but by volunteers, moroccans that have come here to this remote area to give out donations. so of course the make you know, well a, it is required. you give us a sense really of how people feel, but there was pub select a lack of understanding about the difficulties that the gulf but a be a forward. he's have been trying to get that age to those areas because of the logistics that full frustrations, increase the yeah and, and remember there are existing frustration here. i mean, in normal circumstances, electricity is sparse. access to water is difficult, where in the remote areas of the high atlas, despite being a place that's where tourists come to track. well,
7:12 pm
the people here have not seen the presence of the moroccan authority as much as they wish. and in times of crisis, the moroccans and the moroccans authority wants to show their presence. and maybe that explains why they were so reluctant to have international organizations to come here. they want to show the moroccan people that moroccans themselves and the authorities here will take care of them. and that's what we've been hearing for a lot of people here. they want to see the, the, the service is to come here and, and help the people here. there's so many things that they need from the drugs blankets. we saw. we met an old man in here who has an injury. since so many people who, who suffer injuries have been taken out of the rubble, but haven't seen a doctor or a nurse for the last 4 or 5 days in these injuries that are getting infected. i saw
7:13 pm
an old man who has an eye infection who's lying down inside one of these tents. they need more support from. no volunteers are giving out blankets but actual services and that's what people are calling for. they said, sorry, but for the update they cut that for as a way again in america, which now the us government is taking google to cause have anti trust allegations. prosecutors will argue that the companies on site practices to become the most popular adult with in such a gym by follow calling. baker explains to think about how you search the web. you pull out your phone and type a questions. chances are you are already using google. there are other search engines, but 90 percent of the world uses google's to find the information they want. and search is what makes google and it's parent company, alphabet one of the most profitable firms on the planet. here's how it works. you want to find that coffee shop. advertisers,
7:14 pm
like the nearby ones have already put in bits for the keywords you're going to look for. if they bid high enough, where the keywords are specific enough, their business will pop up 1st. you might go buy a coffee, but when you click the add the coffee shop page, google a fee, that's google ads. but as you browse the web using google, it's cookies and bots, follow you building a profile that will target other companies, advertising on other websites to you. you can turn the trackers off, but you probably want and it's all extremely profitable. google made more than 160000000000 dollars last year from the ads in search. but why does google often come up 1st when you purchase a new mobile device? according to the us, it's because the company paid apple motor rollers, samsung, and others billions of dollars to be the default search option. google acknowledges the deals, but doesn't specify the terms. the us says that's on fair. so it's using
7:15 pm
a law from the turn of the 19th century to stop the sherman. i think he says, you cannot have the competitive agreements and you cannot monopolize, or attempt to monopolize this or to the last time the us government took on a tech company. this big was in the 19 ninety's, the target was microsoft, and bill gates had to testify that his company wasn't forcing out competing internet browsers, microsoft losses. it was broken up, then it appealed and pay the penalty. more than a generation later, microsoft is now google's toughest search competitor, thanks to new, a powered search options in being. i think the reason why now is just that we have a more progressive regime that's willing to go after some of these cases. and obviously this will start in 2020, so it isn't the, you know, the by the administration allowing just going after it. but i, there's just been a larger push to go after a lot of these tech companies now because they've gotten so large. google says it makes a powerful and fair product that helps businesses grow. and if users wanna choose
7:16 pm
a different search tool, they can. but this is just one of several cases the us is making against the giants of silicon valley. well, still a head, hey, all the 0 why the house of representatives is being directed to a but a full impeachment inquiry into precedent. j. find the route to you by visit capital. a lot of that was not in south asia, in the monsoon rains, haven't been as intense as expected, but we are still seeing some very heavy falls affecting eastern parts of india over the next few days. and the rain continues to pull into bangladesh as well as me and my lot stria across the west and get still some showers coming in, putting heavier rain into the likes of carola and some fund to re bus,
7:17 pm
affecting sher lanka over the next 3 days. but i'm not clear a picture up towards the north west and large areas of pockets done. you daddy liking to see that rain as we goes thursday into friday and it was a move to east asia. relentless rain is a story for the likes of china, particularly across east scenarios, but also down in the south where we have seen widespread flooding and more than a 100 lands 5, we are expecting most problems from the heavy rain. it pulls across the korean peninsula and into southern parts of japan as we go thursday. and so friday, lots of clear conditions, however, still lingering across know the areas beijing at 2090 degrees celsius. so coming in at 28, but it continues to be a very hot story across japan. tokyo see 34 degrees celsius there on thursday, with plenty of sunshine and that to weather update. the quote to you by visit stories of hope and inspiration.
7:18 pm
7:19 pm
governments and triplets as they have a 10 times the missing 2 times best of the east. so the old ways of destruction through the city of international aid has begun to reach. the roku is the death toll. from fridays of like rises, the the has now reached the 3000 train coming. the adult career leda has arrived in russia right of a meeting between him and the president vladimir putin. the us suspects, appeal young is ready to supply weapons to both skates. they will in ukraine. kim jong good was received by russian officials and casual any of the deal with both creat would violate un sanctions. russia has supported in the past still with us the insurance, the jesus 4 years ago we already met here with the north korean leader. today's visit of this level is a good message for the most active development of flight ties and direct contacts with colleagues from the democratic people's republic of korea. flawlessly,
7:20 pm
as building dream developments for us from sol in south korea, the north korean state media hasn't reveal details about what the meeting between kim and 210 will be about now. come, then spokesman has had kim's visit will be a full fledged visit. and he said the 2 will be talking about bilateral relations, but looking at photos, published by north korean media, it's just kim is accompanied by high ranking military officials, as well as the officials from the industry. now this gives us clues that defense cooperation and also in alms deal will likely be major topics accompanying came. includes jo, true and real, and he's the director of munitions. this is the department responsible for producing conventional artillery, the sort of weapons that russia would need to support its war on ukraine as also the naval commander of north korea. this comes in at 12 of the 2 countries discussing possible joint to minute treat drills. now and alms deal would be
7:21 pm
against you and security council resolutions. and there's also the concern that north korea could be getting technology that would help it advance it's nuclear weapons program in return for selling arms to russia. and that's why we've had us officials, we knew the warnings to north korea. and we've also recently hud, south korean president, you into your china to pay a stronger role in cub being the nuclear threat from north korea, florence louis alger 0. so will it be nice conditions or diplomatic editor james base? i spoke the us and russian of bassett as about the reported deal for north korea to sell weapons to russia. if russia buys weapons, who knows career, that's the total violation of of the security council risk. absolutely, absolutely. it's a violation of un security council resolutions. this is of great concern to united states and many other countries around the world. and so we'll have to see what
7:22 pm
comes out of this. but we are watching this upcoming meeting very, very closely. but it is of great concern to us. and as i said to others, if there is some kind of a relationship between the 2, where dpr k is providing weapons and other types of equipment to russia so that it can use it during its uh, you know, uh, further, uh, attempted conquests of ukraine is russia going to sink weapons from north korea and isn't that a violation of security? go to the us because when i give you some drugs, you know all the story, cuz conjunctions jody be guided. he'll get his train across the board of a cushion. it's a 1200 kilometer is by relative lucky volts. don't quit peace. it is a 10 to economic for him. the time trip takes about about 20 hours,
7:23 pm
but the russian president says that he'll go to bush me cross metro calls to the dr . pop me sued, sparking speculation. this is why the meeting will take place that the whole cause the most good will, can jo visit to rush if we find a lot of speculations about some sort of items deal that could take place. this is something that's been strongly the noise of one must go above him. young. they've said there's no a truth in this, so it'd be true. pest golf. presidential spokesman, remain very coins saying that russia wants good family, close neighborhood, abrasions with north korea. a given, the russian defense minister, 2nd short group visited from young back in july, he attended a weapons exhibition of an if you parade. we've also seen top button with cream entry officials joined. that can join on this visit. so at least some sort of metric cooperation could be on the table, potentially many to drill something that's like a sugar hadn't ruled out in an audio press conference anywhere from the deal was of course, could potentially vonage un sanctions against north korea,
7:24 pm
which russia has supported in the past, so that's something was back in mind all the way north. north korea will be interested in getting russian technology, whether that space technology, food production, when it's air and assistance, they will be hoping to get something out of these folks out of this visit. and russel, of course, will be hoping to add north korea to its list of allies in the region to give more power more um, to, to, to push back as much as to use it against us. influence growing us expansion in the east pacific and in east asia. so those things would certainly be up for discussion in any potential meeting. but i was able saw because reaction from the you crazy of capital key. the officials and key of are no doubt watching closely the outcome of these meetings. one of the ways in which ukraine's western allies have been supporting it apart from direct military aid. they've been putting pressure on countries to try to stop rushes ability to buy more weapons,
7:25 pm
to buy dual purpose items, to restock ammunition that it's been using in ukraine. so these meetings certainly being closely watched just to give you a sense of the reality on the ground. western intelligence estimates say that russia fired between 10 and 11000000 rounds of shows into ukraine last year. and while many of them, no doubt were targeting military positions, trench positions, targeting soldiers. more often than not, those shells were targeting civilian areas. we must remember that one of the most intense battles to be carried out in this war so far was not for some military strategic target. it was for a civilian town of buff moods, where there was enormous displacement. there was enormous destruction and enormous loss of civilian life. one of the numbers that have been put out by ukraine's defense ministry in recent weeks is at its peak. russia was firing 60000 shells per day into a new frame. that number now is around $20000.00, but still,
7:26 pm
even at this lower number in a month, the rest of fires more shows into ukraine than all of europe produces in a year. so there is no doubt going to be a conversation between ukraine and its western allies. to spur forward to hurry along any provision of weapons that it can just 24 hours earlier. germany's foreign minister was in keith and pledged twice as many fighting vehicles in the next round of equipment being shipped into keys twice as many as was previously planned. of 16 pilots are being trained and are expected to join the fight as early as this winter in the top of the town at the moment. are us made out of camp long range ballistic missiles that would give you plan the ability to hit targets in crimea would give you crane the threat to be able to hit targets deep inside russian territory, though they've agreed not to do so. there was a sense of urgency at the moment of president for a lot of years. zalinski has talked about along the way. there is a concern over morales,
7:27 pm
this goes on much longer. and part of the urgency is because, even though there's been instrumental success on the premium side in terms of battlefield, a success is the counter offensive, simply has not going as well as plan. zane bus route of the old is 0. he's in the us, the speaker of the house of representatives, calling for the impeachment, inquiry into president j 5. and because he is accusing by using his role to help his son hunter, with his business dealings in a month, i am directing our house committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry into president jo bike this logical next step will give our committees the full power to gather all the facts and answers for the american public. is exactly what we want to know. we are committed to getting the answers for the american public. nothing more. nothing less. we will go wherever the evidence takes us. we'll have to do a counselor as always as long as not from washington dc with little of the story.
7:28 pm
tell us a little bit more about this potentially inquiry. yes. so the biggest question is, does mccarthy have the power to order one him alone without asking for the full house of representatives to vote? apparently he's carrying force as if he can. and this is because if he were to bring this to a vote, there is a lot of question of whether or not republicans who control a very thin margin in the house would even have the votes to be in agreement to launch an official impeachment inquiry. they have already been investigating now for over a year. the time that president biden spent as vice president and looking into accusations that he benefited from his son hunter bite is foreign business interactions. they subpoenaed many, many pages of bank records and interviewed many witnesses, but to this point, there has been no direct evidence linking, biding the president to financially benefiting from his son. however,
7:29 pm
mccarthy says are still more to look into and that's why he's launching this inquiry. democrats say this is nothing but politics. they says that these investigations thus far have been overwhelming failures and they accuse mcarthee of trying to distract from former president trump and his own 4 criminal indictments that the former president faces. uh, just briefly, uh heidi, heidi, i mean, why is because he really doing this right now, is it because he's trying to distract from trump slows as well as the focus of by is it very well could be he's also under intense pressure from the rights of conservative republicans who have threatened to oust him from his speakership if he didn't take this measure. also threatening to shut down the federal government come september 30th. when the government runs out of money and all these votes will be needed to keep the government open. and i should add, very importantly,
7:30 pm
that the white house has come out saying that launching this impeachment inquiry into bided is quote, extreme politics at its worst sort of. so this is the, i was proceed. hi, jake has for the for a say the washington d. c. thank you. the don't feel just bear with me so robert, and don't remind me of all the top stories. bolden, 5200 people have died at eastern libya following devastating floods from stone down . you'll have a 10000, a still missing to dams bus to the east side of the wave of destruction through the port city of dawson. the aide is also beginning to arrive to help victims and libya took you said 3 cargo planes around a 170 rescue personnel with disaster management tool for which he well both loved it. in vain, gauzy malick trained a hospital from tripoli. it's being described.
