that slowly getting worse, we're on the ask in pakistan, board and to rights activists are on trial in bangladesh after accusing police of extra traditional killings. the, the number of people killed by tsunami, like flooding and eastern libya, has no past 6000 heavy rain full on sunday caused to dams to burst in the city of dirt. and a wall of water then descended on coastal towns, washing many people out to sea or burying them in debris and land slides. aid from libya. as 2 rifle governments has been sent to distribution centers. international search and rescue teams are also now on the ground. for live in the 2nd e, and we'll show we have the one of the main reasons for the increased number of death is the collapse of during the valley time, which swept all the residential buildings nearby in the area of it's a totally destroy. it is estimated at 900000 square meters,
12:02 pm
5 bridges of all to collapse to which isolates the cities east languages. also some of the area that was heavily damaged is estimated to be around 3000000 square meters. let's look at satellite images to see just how much was lost in the flooding. this was during the on september 2nd, a city of about 8 p 18000 people. there are 4 bridges across the wadi, darn, or river. if you look screen the center of your screen settings. so is that main bridge along the waterfront that circled there. and now the city looks like this. the river, which is driving most of the year, overflowed and destroyed an entire section of the city, both the bridges and the buildings, and sailed. as you can see, is now covered all of during a. well, malik train of joins us from tripoli. malik, what's happening to the best of your knowledge and doing that right now. well, we've passed that crucial 72 hour period of for,
12:03 pm
for rescue teams to pull out survivors. so it's becoming serial i recovery operation. i mean, the death toll is rising by the hour more than $6000.00. and so far, i spoke to him about the official and he said more than 2500 people were buried just yesterday. so you know, it's the devastation that title waves that, that hit that cut through the city of deadman. the is devastated the city. i mean thousands more than 10000 people are believed to be missing. a swept into the sea or buried under the rubble of so, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's a going to be a difficult operation to recover all these bodies smell like standby, i want to give some context and then come back to you. libya plunged into violence back in 2011 after it's long time leader and warm are a good off you was toppled. and since then it's have to rival administrations in
12:04 pm
the west. there is the you and recognize government led by prime minister abdul hamid they buy in tripoli. it controls these areas there in blue. a summer home on the prime minister in the east leads a rival administration known as the house of representatives which is backed by the libyan warlord, especially for headstart, the areas in red or under their control. the rival size of failed to unified to unify for years. elections were scheduled for december 2021, but they never happened because of differences on candidates among other sticking points. while it let's go back to you. how can the east and west cooperate if at all, to bring relief to the most effective communities and during the of the well, i've 1st, i want to talk about the people. i mean, the libyans, you know, have been divided for years under and understand the political spectrum in particular, but they're coming together now, like we haven't seen. i mean,
12:05 pm
this is reminiscent of the revolution of in 2011. what's happening now? i mean, people are mobilizing of thousands of people are going to, the people are donating whatever they can to, to, to, to, to eastern libya as far as the governments are concerned. we just saw, we just heard a little while ago of a ministerial delegation from tripoli arriving in eastern libya. that includes the minister of local government and the head of the emergency committee. other assess the 3rd there in the end, based on now heading towards it doesn't know they're going to assess the damage of the government here has located more than $515000000.00 to rebuild the city. oh, how that's going to happen? i think it is to both governments are going to need to cooperate, to come up with a mechanism so that these funds of rebuild goes directly to the people and, and, and can they can begin to rebuild their lives. well,
12:06 pm
that's really interesting and it highlights the political challenge here because if we're really talking about half a $1000000000.00 in a, these 2 size world war and now you're talking them about them administering potentially this kind of money that's, that's a challenge. while the train and reporting from tripoli of the so in morocco, there had been more aftershocks after last week's devastating earthquake rescue teams. journalists scrambling to safety on wednesday when they felt these tremors here in o who's providence. aid is starting to reach communities a need in need, but the logistics are still making it very difficult. villages of the epicenter of the quake or an extremely remote hard to reach areas or correspondence definitely deca travel to the village of tow. 15, highly atlas mountains. the survivors there are still waiting for critical late
12:07 pm
driving very try to get to the village has been completely destroyed. so these villages have set up come at the foot of their destroyed village. nobody has any intention of leaving here. um it's so remote that aid is getting here in terms of being delivered. so basically what they're doing is walking to villages that are more accessible or using donkeys and bringing it here. what was the hospitality whiskey of them even in times of tragedy? we are offering out the key and not
12:08 pm
not. so we're being taken into the village. this is a community that depended on agriculture, telling us everything. everything has gone. this village, buried age people, there are a village of 70 and the destruction is it's a month or they are very synchronized. i know this is where i lived was my patents and my mother was in that room. that's where she died along with my wife and i live i to think that this is one of countless villages in the middle of nowhere, hard to get to. how are they going to rebuild it? we just pumped into this gentleman tells us this is a, this is his home up there. okay. the, the, to so it's,
12:09 pm
i'm heard here and i'm heard here. obviously we need to rebuild all of this. but that's the only possible it's help comes from uh, it's hard to remove all of this. stephanie decker all g 01015 in the atlas mountains of morocco. us. we're down doing. nobody else is here as austin. hill bar who is in, we're a gun that's south of merrick cash. how should i'm taking a look at the, the scene behind you? what look like? tens. i'm assuming for people who have lost their homes. tell us about the community and we're gone. where you are, let's start their serial. the, the that comes that you can see behind me is part of what happened via and also the quick people living that homes last, the homes. and those who are still concerned about the potential for more of the shots. in fact, 3 hours ago, almost 4 hours ago, there was a 4.6 magnitude optis short according to the us geological survey. we felt it.
12:10 pm
and we saw some people leaving the areas and concerned about it, as we don't know to what extent a will have an impact on the rescue operation. because, you know, sometimes 4.5 uh, magnitude 4.5 off to show could, could lead to some land slides. it could lead to rocks. calling from the mountains blocking rose and happening the rescue operation behind me. there is an f build used by the gen dawn marie, and i haven't seen activity to over the last few hours, but most likely it with the resume in the upcoming hours. so this is part of our we audit say that everyone is dealing with the off the math of the, of the as quick, and people yet concerned about their livelihood and about the future. yeah, you said there's an air field behind you and i saw from your earlier reporting that
12:11 pm
you were witness to what is essentially an air bridge for the most isolated communities. tell us about that. is everybody now getting help or they're still pockets of population in the atlas mountains that haven't been reached or can't be reached. they, there are many areas what it's extremely difficult to send trucks. this explains why the force and the june dormitory are the ones because they have how they come to us. the ones who are leading the assets we've seen when we well with them. but typically the data that areas where the only way is to add drop blankets, food and supplies. and this is not easy because we have to continue the average. and the same time you have to ensure that you have the insured. and the one that i have seen like yesterday i was talking to a senior rescue operations of for so official in the mid to basically my rightcast
12:12 pm
. and he says that they have evacuated something like 70 wounded people, a woman, uh, a pregnant women who delivered a baby on her way back to the minutes it base is an extremely, extremely delicate operation underway. huh. but basically by the difficult to rain by the weather conditions and by the fact that they are yet to further expand that presence in the very desolate areas hush them, they'll have our reporting from. we're gone south america. thank you very much. i'm sorry. and officials a blamed israel for 2 airstrikes, the target the western region. the 1st strike hit near the port city of talk to us killing at least 2 soldiers. the syrian army says another attack on how much caused some material losses. dozens of people have been killed and is really strikes in the past year. italy is transferring hundreds of migrants away from land, produced an island because it says it cannot cope with the increasing number of

12:19 pm
investigate exposure and question the youth and the business of our around the go on out just there the the, the watching else is here. our headlines this our, the mayor of libya's eastern coastal city of durn us is the number of people killed after this week's flooding could reach tens of thousands rescue teams and searching the streets, damage buildings and the c to buddies and morocco agencies are struggling to reach people stranded in the high atlas mountains, food and supplies are starting to reach communities, but it does remain a logistical challenge and ethically is transferring hundreds of migrants away from
12:20 pm
land produce island because it says it cannot cope with the increasing number of asylum seekers. more than a $118000.00 migrants have arrived financially by boat this year. it tends to end the sporadic violence in a palestinian refugee camp and living on a failed. at least 6 people have been killed and renewed fighting between factions and i know ho, a refugee camp. it happened as high ranking officials from the war in groups mats and the roots. st. ahold, her reports. so there's no where safe and i know halloween, an overcrowded ghetto, where arrival, palace and infections are at war. the shooting and shelling through its narrow streets have turned lebanon's largest refuge account for palestinians into a battle ground. the fact that the movement of palestinian presidents must move a bus has long been in charge of security here. the killing of a senior commander in july by armed groups sparked the recent violence, and the movement is calling it an attempted cool. leo. this is
12:21 pm
a warrant against the top as representatives and i know holloway, i think it's a crew against a political and military force that has support inside the capital. it is similar to what happened in gaza in 2007 for the survival. the powers to the movement, thomas is not involved in the fighting. and i know heavily, but it is being accused of backing the arm to groups known as the muslim use an accusation. it denies how my says it's such a senior leader to be able to try to reach a settlement to end the classes. a high ranking official from the palestinian authority is also here both called for a cease fire. but multiple truce agreements have broken down in recent weeks, as many attempts have been made to end divisions and the split between the palestinian territories of gaza and the west bank and achieve national reconciliation. but the gap between him us and the palestinian authority is wide and political unity remains out of reach. the regional context is important
12:22 pm
because it's believe to be behind the events. and i know heavily there is a major issue with the dividing policy has nowadays approach more toward instead whether you know the police, cnn should to pursue some kind of a, a piece path toward the 2 state solution or some kind of i've age means i'm on peaceful negotiations, which is typically the position taken by the mold man. there's a fear the conflict could spread to other camps and pose a threat to the whole country if it is not contained. in the words of a fact, the official, this battle is not over san jose, i was just the to, i know how do we southern lebanon and we can update you on that story. we've been following from bangladesh to prominent human rights activists have been sentenced to 2 years in prison for allegedly publishing false information. they faced up to 10 and they've been sentenced to 2 years in prison. the case goes back
12:23 pm
a decade ago when they released the report, the accusing security forces of killing protest as in the 2013 alger 0 is 10, po trogie is covering this for as he joins us from docket, tunnel here to just seconds ago, and our viewers won't be able to see this now, but just set of seconds ago, we could see this large scrum, a lot of activity behind you outside what i assume is the court room in dock. uh, what's happening? yes, we have doesn't the passage way a bad cyber tribal uh code and mr. dealer, i'm on and mister allen was taken out just a few seconds ago. you just missed that though, but they've taken into custody by the police and there were other people, human rights, organization, media, many people where he a heavy security presence. now do you have just mentioned in your statement 2 years, verdict for each one of them and a $100.00 fine. now both the but i choose can appeal this and the high code after
12:24 pm
they get the full body. somebody from the tribal know code and they will a bill for days. now, the prosecution site, they're not happy with the verdict. they wanted a state for a sentence and i pressed that defense to lie. i. we spoke to said he's not happy with the verdict because the evidence that president, i'd was really not up to the standard. they said the use documents taken from the company that all back shoes as an evidence from things that has not been substantiated. and that in the law, documents that's actually belongs to the human rights organization to be presented . so not had a roadside not very happy with that, not the more important part it sends out a very chilling message to the human rights organization. civil society journalist as a whole, but that could be easily be prosecuted under this information. communication act is now known as cyber security act, and many could possibly potentially phase this kind of sentence size. if the find them guilty of some sort of distortion and damaging image of the government. so
12:25 pm
this is really interesting and this is what like i'd like to drill down on for of yours. we're talking about human rights activists who publish this report about the security forces. and they alleged that there were extrajudicial killings in the and we're pressing a protest. how is that going to potentially land them in jail? i mean, on what grounds it was, the government said that they had use tempered images in this as 2013 during a crack down on the religious party by the security forces. the number of debts bigger, the human rights organization or the car presented was 61 very close to with the us human rights. what said was 58, the government site is no more than 11 people were killed. they also side of some newspapers that zip up somewhere in the 20s. nothing close to $61.00. but though the guy said they have valid documents to prove that,
12:26 pm
but they're not going to make it public because of the uh, secured and type. is it concern of the family member of those who died, but the government didn't by that reasoning. and that's the image of the bad tempered way that they use photoshop. and those days, lot of videos reading starts relation in the social media. even some in the tv is a bile and track down very, very distorted. i'm invited an image of rep president even i'll just say that we showed some video images that were very disturbing. and hundreds of people were injured. many, i believe hunger and died during those 2014 flashes across the country. verified by international and local human rights are going to eviction. yeah. and they're being upset with this big eye because they think it damages that countries images. sorry . go ahead and, you know, and it was just gonna say there's repeating for context at the n g o that these human rights activists work for has been shutter. that's one thing. and the other is that the us has since sanctioned the law enforcement group. that was accused in
12:27 pm
that report. all right, time get child reporting from doctor. thank you very much. i a judge in the us election interference case and the state of georgia will decide on thursday if former president donald trump and 18 other defendants will be tried. at the same time, they faced more than 40 charges on attempts to reverse the 2020 election results. in the state of georgia, my kind of reports from atlanta its a busy week for fulton county, superior judge customer, kathy, while hearing an ongoing mode of trial. he's also dealing with procedural issues in the wide ranging election record tearing case. he's received a brief from the prosecution, arguing why old 19 defendants should be tried together and will hit the argument on the matter in court on thursday. a judge mcafee has already ruled that the trial of 2 of the defendants should begin on october. the 23rd, trump aligned lawyers,
12:28 pm
kenneth chest broke, and sidney paul had been granted a speedy trial. under georgia, no demands for a speedy trial must be met within 2 months of entering a plea. all the charges are dropped. it's now up to the judge to decide whether the trial on the 23rd of october will involve old 19 defendants. or just the 2 who boss full, a speedy trial that could lead to all the defendants being separated into groups. donald trump's lawyers have already given notice that the former president wishes to be tried alone. the judge would also hear prosecution requests that the identities of jury is in the case to be kept secret. this comes in the wake of online attacks on members of the special grand jury which met last year and who identified in accordance with the georgia tradition. this resulted in an unprecedented decision to withhold the identities of those who are part of
12:29 pm
a subsequent grand jury that actually recommended the indictment of the 19 defendants. a protection. the prosecution once supported to those selected to hear the trial itself. mike, hannah, i'll just sierra atlanta, nearly 300000 members of all the work or unions in the us and canada, or threatening to go on strike from midnight on thursday. the united auto workers union says wage increase offers from the 2 biggest car companies in the us are not enough. both sides are still locked in negotiations. we do not yet have offers on the table that reflect the sacrifice and contributions are members of made to these companies to when we're likely going to have to take action. and just as we've approach star negotiations differently than we have in the past, we are preparing to strike these companies in a way they've never seen before. and
12:30 pm
a trial of brazil's so called january 8th insurrection is got underway in the capital. on wednesday, 11 justices of the supreme court have begun hearing testimony. former presidents, they are both scenarios. supporters stormed government offices earlier this year, a calling from military over throw after his election defeats nearly 1500 people were arrested on the day of the riots. many have since been released. the headlines on alice's 0, the number of people killed by tsunami, like flooding and eastern libya, has crossed the 6000 rescue teams and searching the streets. damaged buildings and the sea for bodies. local officials are willing out any chance of finding survivors or my time. i had a to, i'm 34 or how we've confirmed around 5300 death sofa. and that number is likely to realize much more to, to the likeness of the rest.
