2:07 am
to provide that, you know, we have been active throughout the, across all those years of conflict. we have warehouses with stock, so immediately we supported the lead going, but trust for them to use in the dead, in the region, in the east to provide life saving assistance to head. and then it 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 settings. 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 need to scale up of course, the stress funds, the international movement of the red cross and red crescent is doing so together with the, the, again, the crescent on the spot. but also together with the other national societies of

2:09 am
destruction across huge areas through a long group being which zigzags across the atlas. now it is, we've been flying with the rocking on the which has been leading the rescue operation because it has sophisticated equipment. it has been delivering most of the aid of pricing into the affected areas using all the infrastructure that it has. and it has stepped up, it's all pricing over the last few days. and each time we stopped in an area or we've been hovering over a bit, it's devastation was beyond. was us be going to see if this, with a few minutes of to the how the carpets are sold into the sky was thought to get a glimpse of the scale to the devastation. entire villages wiped out desperate
2:10 am
villages waving to the craft, asking for help and the pilot capital in moving. but to look through the deeper the strong winds could compromise the entire rescue operation. so the crew is looking for the right spot to add the office supplies, a hot breaking the boxes. this box is that you see as if like over the, at the center of the sacred area, the pilot has decided to be risky salon did this particular area. and he has given all the, those thoughts as dropping your mind to tell you in a supplies line to the effect, the local community, the me how to go up to is hopping around the area of the only chance for those drafts in desolate villages on the the x of the address mountains we landed in to
2:11 am
let them. yeah. who is the rescue teams continued the search. oh, what does the hours go by? chances of finding survivors fade away? the set of that'd be our teams are operating non stop. you're following all safety measures, you have significant dogs and cameras to detect people trapped on the durability. those who look pulled alive with starts a long journey of recovery. populate, how much was rescued from the village of oak on. she's been traumatized by what she went through. i think after what i saw and the people who lost their lives. i could not think about tomorrow, said we leaving remote area. we are excess. it's difficult a. the ones that are rushed to hospitals evaluate cash code is neither. we is concerned about someone who am i to keep on this patient has been tried for 3 days and he risk having kidney failure. we need locked us in the most likely he will

need diagnosis. and i just either i was given a red access to the armies operations center with plans. emergency responds to ami generals, showing the live footage from jones to ducting areas requiring immediate action. those with lots behind in the devastated bit. it's what we need time to boil the loss of their loved ones and build new lives actually bought a bunch of 0 funding, epi sent out to escalate a stephanie decker as an even tele, about 14 kilometers from the epi center of the or no home remains. livable here and the mountain basically came down as the earthquake happened, huge chunks of it falling off and flattening this entire community. and you can see the strength of the power of chunks of the mountain falling off is as we just pod
2:13 am
across the valley, you can see just how large parts of it came down. and that were told is one of the, of the tragedy that quotes are. you see this gentleman here talking to someone, the story on the phone. people have lost everything here. and there is help that is arrived in the form of various volunteers. also official rescue search and rescue teams, but the real issue you have now is that we're being told they don't expect any survivors to be found is pretty much a recovery operation. dogs are still being used here. we just spoke to a group of spanish volunteers and they said that they came here with hope to find survivors. they've only found body so far. they say the dog, i don't finding anyone alive now, one of the massive challenges of when it comes to help to getting help here is the roads the network. and you can see here
2:14 am
a clock that stopped the earthquake just past 11 pm on friday night. but again, the access to get here is so difficult, it is remote mountainous areas. here you see people still trying to gather what they cod from their broken homes. um, getting here were so difficult, even bringing heavy machinery is pretty much impossible because the roads are so narrow that wind up the road. so while you're here, what one of the, i think heart warming things when you see a tragedy like this is how people come together. so many volunteers, we're just going to show you here is still very much an active recovery operation where people are using their hands using pick axes. just to go through the rubble to try and find bodies to hand them over to their loved ones. to be able to bury them, it's stephanie decker, a, i'll g 0 on the outskirts of my cache in the atlas mountains. the speaker of the us house of representatives has our colleagues to open

2:16 am
the car see lacks the votes, even from some of his republican colleagues to launch this impeachment inquiry into biden. after an exhaustive investigation led by house republicans has yielded no direct evidence proving the corruption allegations against abiding those allegations that relate to biden's time as vice president and accused him of financially benefiting from his son hunter, biden's foreign business dealings. democrats say these efforts are an overwhelming failure in investigating president biden and an effort to distract the public from former president trump upcoming criminal trials by the end and trouble likely faced off again and next year's presidential elections. the white house as the launching of impeachment inquiry now is extreme politics at its worst. meanwhile, how speaker mccarthy was likely pressured into this move by far, right? republicans whose writing to alst him from his speakership and to withhold their support in an upcoming vote to avoid a government shut down at the end of the month. i did jo, castro, alta 0,

2:21 am
story is, perhaps the one i've had most used by these really media gathered here outside the courtroom over that. now, inside that supreme court, unprecedented panel of 15 judges, that's the whole panel all gathered together for the 1st time. and what that considering essence is whether these really fall right, coalition government, to be able to put itself beyond the scrutiny of the countries highest judges. the specific issue in question today is about reasonableness and whether the court can rule that the government has acted unreasonably. but that's just the tip of an iceberg when it comes to the government official reform program because of the proposals that it has in the pipeline includes accessing great depending to control over exactly who can become a judge. an override mechanism which would allow it to reinstate laws that have been thrown out upon a cold and even to restrict the areas of jurisdiction that the court can actually make rulings on. now those kind of rulings actually have implications,
2:22 am
pre owned israel's folders into the occupied palestinian territories because it's the supreme court here, which is so often been the last line of defense for palestinians seeking to limit supplement building or to fight against the seizure of the private plans now on the eve of this hearing, tens of thousands of his ready citizens, again demonstrated outside the court building and support of the judges against the government plants. the decision from the judges will come in a matter of weeks, hol, brennan, ultra 0. the supreme court of israel a train carrying came junglin, has arrived in russia, have a meeting with president vladimir putin. the us suspects the north korean leader is ready to supply weapons to must go for the war and ukraine. any arms deal between the 2 nations would violate un sanctions since, and one of them has this report. north korea's leader receives a warm welcome as this train crosses into russian territory. it's kim jones,
2:23 am
1st trip abroad in more than 4 years. high ranking russian officials who met him said there was much to gain for both countries. it was us to insure is 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. to kim is visiting at the invitation of present vladimir putin, each of something the other needs of north korea struggling economy could use a boost from russia. among kim's entourage is joe to wrong director of the munitions industry. rushes ammunition supplies are running low as the war and ukraine drags on. it could benefit from access to north korea, stockpiles of soviet era. munitions, algae are asked, rushes investors. the united nations in arms deal was in the works and as, but he refused to answer the us as any weapon sales would violate
2:24 am
un sanctions of north korea. i will remind both countries that any a transfer of arms from north korea to russia would be in violation of multiple united nations security council resolutions. and we of course, have aggressively enforced our sanctions against entities that fund russians war effort. and we will continue to enforce those sanctions and will not hesitate to impose new sanctions appropriate. but russia and north korea are already under extensive sanctions to add more international pressure, could bring them closer together. vladimir putin is already in russia as far east for an economic for him to come to a meeting with tim as expected in the coming days spent and monahan how to 0. in the united states, 5 former police officers in the city of memphis have been tied to the beginning of african american terry nichols during a traffic stop in january police. but he confident shows officers kicking nichols as he and with a button spraying him with pepper spray and sorry,
2:25 am
a stun gun at it. because legs died from his injuries, the offices are already on trial, every charges a 2nd degree murder separately. they've also being charged with violating nicholas's civil rights. the us government is taking google to quarter of anti trust allegations. prosecutors will argue that the company use unfair practices to become the most popular and dominant search engine by fall, the legal action has been seen as the most significant challenge to a technology company for decades. calling bacon as well 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, like the nearby ones have already put in bits for the keywords. you're going to
2:26 am
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 pays google 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 motorola, 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 unfair. so it's using a law from the turn of the 19th century to stop in the sherman. i simply says,
2:27 am
you cannot have the competitive agreements and you cannot monopolize or attempt to monopolize this. or since 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 and microsoft losses. it was broken up, then it appealed and paid a 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 ministration allowing just going after it. but 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 a different search tool,
2:28 am
they can. but this is just one of several cases the us is making against the giants of silicon valley. the whole party calhane hesitates is from washington dc. experts will tell you if you want to see how much money is really at stake in a case like this. look and see how well the witnesses are prep that shows you how much money this the company has spent on billable lawyer hours to make sure they're ready. well, the 1st witness that google economy is very well prepared. so it's going to be a very interesting trial that's going to have huge impacts for pretty much everyone, the government, the u. s. government says if google is broken up, which could happen if the government wins, then another search company could come along and perhaps have better privacy policy policies. it could also impact the economy. after all alphabet, the parent company of google is one of the wealthiest country companies in the entire world. they don't have a huge impact on stock prices. the other way it could impact is google is really
2:29 am
the dominant player when it comes to online advertising. they pretty much set the rates, so if they are broken up, if there's more competition, the government says businesses could pay less for those ad. so very cons to can control trial. not just because of that, but because there's only a handful of companies that really control or online universe. if google wins the government, much less likely to go to them. if the government, when those companies have to be much more concerned that they could be next, the draw is expected to take about 10 weeks, but the decision will be handed down probably for months, had to go home. l g 0, washington tech john and apple is released as late as the items and apple watches it tries to reverse the slumping sales. from now on the i phone, the 15 range will also be charged differently. it will have a us be seen cable in order to comply with new european guidelines, which come into effect next year. sales have been dropping since last year. as high as apple's stock price of the law says james webb, telescope has discovered
2:30 am
a planet that may have visions of force on its surface. the planet is a 120 light is a 120 many light years away. and then the constellation, it's 9 times the size of a analysis of its atmosphere suggests its hydrogen rich. the speculation that it also has molecules typically produced by life on a message says the funding do not necessarily mean the planet could support 5. the designs are, these are the top stories on the in eastern libya, the death toll of the devastating floods has risen to over 5000 more than 10000 people are still missing. after 2 times collapse and the positive done, several countries sending help take it has sent 3 cargo planes around a 170 rescue personnel from disaster management authority. we're on board.
