7:04 pm
flood. libyans from the west of the country have driven across the front lines determined to help those in need. and this politically defined a nation. but just getting the age where it's needed most remains a huge challenge. and the security forces and the army of doing the best to restore the roads leading into the city. the catastrophe is massive and as a result, access to many areas is not possible for an aide continues to arrive by ad, but done and needs more international assistance and fast. we need the support of international community. we need the support of the agencies in order to be able to manage this crisis in a proper way and to help the libyans overcome this unfortunate incidence. survived this struggle to comprehend this catastrophe. clearing the modern debris from what remains of their homes and waiting for help child stuff, which is 0. well, let's talk corresponding lot of train that he's in the capital of tripoli,

7:07 pm
does not alone. so i think that's why we're seeing the focus, i mean just because of, of, of, of the, of the situation and i don't know, but there are other cities. yes. not as bad, but they also need help. and there's really, i mean, there's a shortage of food. we've talked to people, you know, residents of the cities across the region and then the but yeah, the and, and, but y'all didn't mothers and, you know, the hospitals are also overwhelmed. they were flooded us. so the entire region needs needs support at the moment and we have seen that some of that 8 arriving lot of training there with the latest force from libya and capital tripoli. thank you right. well, out of there is to me, i'll snotty is in diana. he has went out on the ongoing release and recovery operations that selected in colorado, which it had let did. with every passing day, the number of search and rescue teams is rising and then making their way into debt enough. we spoke to city officials who said the 1st 3 days were the most difficult,
7:08 pm
with searching rescue operations were carried out by local teams only now crews from all over the world, helping them. yeah. on thursday, for example, the crew arrived from jordan followed by another from egypt, and it said something is yeah, before them, there was a text in the old joint forces to remove the debris and local authorities say the scale of the catastrophe cannot be matched by all those teams and they are calling for more crews with sufficient and proper equipment, official reports because 10000 missing people as a friday. but that's a middle initial estimation. since many dead bodies are still washing up on the shows every day. i spoke to the overhead camera on the you and your monetary and coordinator in nivia. she reiterated those facts of loss of one disease, a spreading of the world health organization and the international committee of the red cross issue. to a statement about that today, the most important issue is the contaminated water. the water is contaminated from
7:09 pm
a number of sources and the people are not drinking tap water and that they have a potable water that they can drink to avoid and prevent as best for for speaker said water born disease as we really want to prevent a secondary health crisis, let me ask you about some of the less on via stay engines too. and the last hour i spoke, so the head of the libyan delegation of the i see all see he was telling me about unexploded ordnance from the wall now being dislodged and lost staring the flag olsa. how well a threat is that in data, according to mass, this is the un mine action center, which works with a live mac, bolivian mind action center. this is a very real concern, and they are now planning to come and try and do some tracking and d mining in the area when it's possible. but certainly there needs to be
7:10 pm
a focus on this because of course it presents a very serious hazard. i have not only to the people who are still in the area but to those who need to be there rebuilding and then of course the, the a community and the 1st responders. the search continues for survivors in morocco, often at craig and hit one week ago. kills nearly 3000 people. aid is gradually arriving now in remote areas, but it remains a huge challenge. stephanie deca had traveled to industrial to see what the situation was like that. and now it has this report. as we bumped into a spanish rescue team on the road, so we decided to follow them. and we spend a lot of time in the car because these mountain villages is so remote. we've been
7:11 pm
driving for about an hour now. we stopped on the side of the road for a while now with the rescue that we are all the way. it's not really clear why the so lot of people have come out to watch the helicopter on these or uh, nurses. hi. you work here? yes. yeah, well goodness is here, the nurses, how many are you for to, for all of the midwife. and this is for just this village which is 2229 when nice. 09. just the 4 of you. how is it been? what have you seen since you've been working here? the situation with the people are still scare me because people
7:12 pm
have a nightmare needs of this population. they need not look the just me distance, but also they need the psychologist moment to take all those are to walter and medicines for fever, especially for children and support for mental health. what are the main challenges? do you remember moment that was the most that you remember the most we need to be strong to. so yes, to help them. we need to. you have to yes, we have to be strong even though sure. if we feel like, yes, you girls are amazing. honestly, just show you where i is, the state of calamity combative, i kind of in that where the, these women tell us they need running more time with the zip codes, blankets, food,
7:13 pm
toilets. so the thinking a lot about how to reveal if you want to know how and what, what to do. stephanie decor, i'll g 0 a seal in morocco's atlas mountains. how costs lot of hassle all barra is in right . gone with the latest behind me. trucks as big as excavators. now i'll pricing it was weighing on the flattening the entire area that has been devastated by the quake here in the town of a way. again, the mix shift 10 that you can see behind me is just going to be off by the decision of the government on a very ton 3 basis before they move all the affective communities to was 1030 shelters in buildings waiting for the recall instruction. a plan to be
7:14 pm
completed, but when you look of the operation, you see the recovery operation starting now they are discussing the need to pitch up, tends for schools to review any time now it's looking just i'm not at all days before this thought in the very effected areas, they say that the decision has to be made on the very highest level suppose to disclose to stop as soon as possible is going to be mixed with the schools. then you have different departments, different government institutions, admitted through the minutes of into a as a police setting up nobody units. nobody i've been to know by bakery units which is making something like 10000 a piece of bread on a daily basis. you know that bread is a, is a very populous type of food, enough in this part of the world. and that bread is channel to all the affected areas, sometimes add lift to, to the affected zone. in the death of that box of all the, of the epi center of the as quake. ukraine says that it has really taken control of
7:15 pm
a village and just outside of a what's in the east. the village of audrey is guy lives just to the south of the bloodiest battle and rushes, one ukraine. ukraine began. it's counter offensive in june this year. and one of his goals has been re taking key areas and the don't yet region. out of there as his name is robert reports now from cheese. the ukraine's military has reported the successful re taking of a village south of the moods known as un rifka. now buckling with of course, fell earlier this year easily one of the bloody one who as president reviving is delivering remarks of the white house on the negotiations between the older workers union and comic is as an unprecedented strike is underway. that system and our use are good for both the union workers and non union workers to and your overall economy. unions, res, workers, wages, i said, incomes increase, home ownership, increase retirement savings,
7:16 pm
increase access to critical benefits like sickly and child care and reduce center quality. all of which strengthen our economy for all workers has because unions, unions, re, standards across the workplace, has an entire industries pushing up wages and strengthening benefits for everyone. that's why strong units are critical of a growing economy. growing from the middle out, bottom up, not the top down. that's especially true as we transition to a clean energy future which are in the process of doing. i believe that transition should be fair and a win win, frustrated me for auto workers and auto companies. but i also believe because the contract agreement must lead to vibrant, made america future that promotes good strong middle class jobs that workers can raise a family for the identity remains of the hard tomorrow academy. and we're the big 3 companies continue to lead innovation, excellence, color and leadership. last night, after negotiations broke down the identity right now, so target is track and
7:17 pm
a few big 3 auto plants. let's be clear. no one wants to strike, say it again. no one wants a strike, but i respect workers right to use are options under the collective bargaining system and understand the workers frustration, over generations, auto workers, sacrifice so much to keep the industry alive and strong, especially to the economic right is the santa pandemic. workers deserve a fair share of the benefits they help create for an enterprise. i do appreciate that the parties of my work, the round the clock i, when i 1st call them at the very 1st day there you go, she ation and i said, please stay at the table as long as you can to try us or work this out and they've been around the clock and the companies have made some significant offers. but i believe that you go further to insure record corporate profits, mean record contracts for the you are going to say that again, record corporate profits, which they have should be shared by a record contracts for the u a w. and just as we're building an economy in the
7:18 pm
future, we need labor agreements for the future. it's my hope that the parties can return to the conversation table to forward to a win win agreement. to continue our active engagement, i'm responding to point dispatching to members of my team to detroit acting labor secretary, julie shoe and white house senior adviser cheeseburger and both of them been involved. not enough to offer their full support for the parties and reaching the contract. the bottom line is at auto workers held creat america's middle class. they deserve a contract that sustains them in the middle class. thank you very much. that's all i'm gonna say. while even the same as you, as president drove by and delivering lots of the white house on those negotiations between the auto workers union and comic is, he says no one wants to strike, but he respects the rights of workers to do so. he's also said he helps the company is once her father with the office. well that speak to our correspondence. how does your caster there's also been listening in that from washington dc. i think this is
7:19 pm
the 1st time or the big 3 are facing the striking ones. but it's what it was, a full scale woke out, right. can you give us a sense of the impact that's obviously fairly significant of turbines getting involved? absolutely, because the potential over this cascading into a major economic crisis is one that exists. but your rightness, tasha, this is only less than a 10th of the total membership of the united auto workers union that are currently striking in their staging. these walk out at 3 separate factories in the midwest, but of course the union president is threatening to expand this thing and there is no telling how long this could go on. and the stakes are very big for president biden. you're seeing him come out here to address this head on the president himself doesn't have any legal authority to intervene and impact the strike in any way. but he certainly has been leaning on both sides to come to the negotiating
7:20 pm
table and get this resolved. and, and the strike he was unsuccessful last night in the last hours prior to the strike happening in talking down both sides. those sides are not negotiating today at the moment. but of course the president is saying that helps that come back to the table. as soon as possible, you know, americans have very dismal view of president biden's policies when it comes to the economy. despite the fact that the us economy is doing quite well by many measures, nearly 60 percent of americans in the latest polls say that biden's policies have made the economy worse. and of course, in his own context of the upcoming presidential election next year. and by the knows that the economy is a very, could be seen as a very weak point. he's seen as a strong pro union president. so you would think this is something that he could have an influence on. and namely, to the fact that the strikes are occurring in michigan,
7:21 pm
which is where all 3 of these major automakers are headquarters sat is particularly meaningful. and that this is a swing state that bite and cannot afford to lose in the next election if he wants to remain in the white house. hi, the i see that by that it has now his sentiment, he's sending his acting labor secretary julie sir, and advise of jane spelling to, to toys, to try to deal with some of this. i remember back in 2019 industrial action against and it was then, it was just against general motors has pushed michigan into a recession. and that was just a 6 week strike were saying, we don't know how long this one cuz it was just how bad could it get yeah, and people are forecast. a economists are forecasting that is this also lens into a 6 week strike. we're talking about billions of dollars in las revenue for each of the 3 auto manufacturers. and then there's a greater picture of the u. s. is still recovering from inflation and fewer new autos being put into the market means those prices will go up and that could
7:22 pm
certainly lead to inflation rising again in the us. and americans are watching those numbers very carefully when they're thinking about the upcoming presidential election. i'm sure they are and i did just as last name before we move on. i know comic goes on saying that they need to save cash for the green. a transition, right. we not surely has ruled a neighbor implications to absolutely, and that's also why you heard president bite in touch about this transformation into a clean energy future. because really he is committed to both of these things. labor rights as well as transitioning to a clean economy which may put an odds into with those 2 impulses when it comes to this labor negotiation in the auto worker sector. but yeah, the timing, according to the executives of these auto companies, is that they're trying to save money. they're trying to use this money to, from these record profits to invest in this transformation. and many would say that
7:23 pm
they're doing a pretty good job. the us is they're, they're selling a lot of luxury cars and it is a boost to their business. but to stop the momentum. now, according to these executives will be dangerous for their companies and they're threatening, or they're warning rather than of the strikes a continue, they'll have to close factories and that would only be bad news for all parties involved. how does our castro that across that for us from washington dc science, heidi williams, who is the official as j, as a whole, talks with validators. and we had a national delegation, accompanied by in the morning mediation, left to him and a capital on thursday. saw the officials say they want to resume efforts to reach a permanent and comprehensive si. fi district is the 1st official visit by the who it is to saudi arabia, since the women broke out. well that who has caused what the u. n. says is the wild west to monetary in crisis. in 2015, a coalition led by saudi arabia and united arab emirates. went to war against the who sees a 6165 x 5 last october, but is still from out mostly holding in
7:24 pm
a full this yeah, yeah, man's worry sides. confused with a large scale prisoner exchange, at least $860.00 detainees from both sides were afraid. and it's estimation of the 375000 people have now died and this conflict, millions more needs to mount a terry and assistance on a bill. corey is a former us deputy chief of mission in yemen. he says he's on sauce and about the prospect for this visit. the comprehensive these lasting piece is not likely to result from this visit any way. in fact, if anything, there may be signals here that there is a kind of resignation on the part of all the key players, regional and international, that perhaps the divisions in yemen are, are here to say, uh that each side has given up on their maximum of
7:25 pm
goals, when the war started, the solid isn't the right. these had certain uh, ideas about removing the who is he is from salma and returning a government under solid control. i think everybody understands that this is uh, not at all in the cards. uh for the foreseeable future. uh and uh, perhaps a, some kind of a compromise uh, exists in the new leadership council on the dr. shut leaving. you may be able to have foothold in the sense of how the mild and therefore the division will continue in the south between an eastern part of control or influenced by the solid ease and the western part, controlled and influenced by the united arab emirates. i think the good story is that, especially if they agree on releasing the pressures on so on,
7:26 pm
i airport removing the limitations on travel as all the airports and see boards that would alleviate human suffering a great deal. but you don't necessarily jump from this to a comprehensive piece. security forces in indiana, minnesota to cash man, searching for a soldier who's been missing since a gun fight with set protest on wednesday. he was part of a joint operation between the army and the state police, against the rebels, to army offices and a police official with calvin the fighting. for now the day 77 nations as guessing its summit on the way and has on the block is expected to focus on the role of science and technology. and during its to day me thing, there's something that comes just days before the un general assembly in new york city. well, let's take a closer look at the g $77.00 block, which brings together developing countries in the bid to increase the influence on the world stage. it was wound in geneva and 1964. the 77 founding members felt that
7:27 pm
was something he, when would be great. so if they worked together since then, the block has going to more than a $113.00 nations from across the global south. china is not a member, but it works closely with the group, as the official statements are often made in the name of the j $77.00 plus china. with the so many member states, the g 77 has many internal differences on policy. but it has helps developing countries walk effectively on some major global issues and tutoring, for instance, climate change. aus is here as lost in america, edison you see in human as following that summit and havana the g 77 summit is now well underway with at least 50 heads of state foreign ministers and 5 level ministers from some 134 countries. it is the largest inter governmental organization within the framework of the united nations whose secretary general i'm telling you will have. this is also here, the voice of the,
7:28 pm
the $77.00 plus china will always be central at the united nations. as i calls on your groups, we have long been champions of multilateralism to step up to use our, our insights, the host president to begin vs candid from cuba. i began by saying that this would be an all spirit conference or recognition that cuba is facing. nissan on with the crisis at this moment. not surprisingly, he also began by lashing out at the developing countries when he said, have maintained the world's global south in poverty and injustice for centuries. but the, one of the main themes of this conference is actually about the technology, how to help the countries from the global south improve and develop better technology transfers and also innovation are the main themes and some of the countries that are taking part in this summit know a lot about that such as india and china. interestingly, china is not actually
7:29 pm
a formal member of the group, but it has the largest delegation, some 50 members, and it's being headed by a member of the central committee, who is in charge of all things on the issue of corruption. it that may be a message to some of the people who are here, you see and human allergens here, off of that at least 6 people have died. and the ones who don't often days of torrential rains triggered flash flooding, thousands of homes and white nile or north pole to find the states have been destroyed. hundreds of people displaced millions already suffering from the fighting between the army and permanent traffic support forces. a groups have also been wanting the rainy season and he was in the situation that you knew you would think he was, as we need shelter as if the situations bod, even before the heavy rainfall it was already bought. we want the government to help people here. they have no income to pay for reconstruction materials or do i
7:30 pm
bought him the left of the thank god we're safe for me. but the damage has already been done in the we lost houses and belongings in the flood, but thank god, anyway, the other, the other says out of there and these are the headlines agencies, nivia a warning of a living epidemic from work to borne, diseases rescue, walk is struggling to retrieve decomposed bodies. well than $5000.00 people i'm believe towards died and sundays floods, but that death toll is also expected to rise. we have been working all day on the buildings that has been completely destroyed by the bursting of the the scale of destruction. and the city is devastating with a huge number of buildings, damage and victims missing. and that's why we are working as hard as we can and these few hours that to and have safety motions to be able to locate the piece of my life.
