active despite to be as many a conflict. then they said he hadn't even at $4300.00 buildings that lots of it lies in ruins. when storm daniels went through, diana, on monday it's 2000 as best a nation nearly 15000000 cubic meters of water. that's the equivalent of 12000 and then pick sized swimming pools. it's estimation that of course of a city stretches and out either partially or completely destroyed. the death toll is in the several thousands chiles drops and begins coverage. thousands of people are still missing and fed dead, buried onto the modern rubble, all swept out to sea search and rescue efforts continue. the chances of finding people trapped and alive are increasingly slim. so that's why we are working as hard as we can and these few hours that we will have safety margins to be able to locate people to life. and we're trying to squeeze on dogs as much as possible to
8:03 pm
work on those buildings that have been posted, destroyed, and which have not been completely submitted by the water of the carried many people out to see their bodies lie on beaches having been washed to show an issue of okay, this is the 1st time we see a disaster is because this in libya, we're facing difficulties in the sea. we are waiting for the sea to come down to be able to see the bodies and try to achieve them survive as we count the terrifying moment their loved ones were taken away. well, the rest of my life before was stable. i had my house and my family, but now there is nothing. there is no life anymore. there is mounting fear of disease is the human body is decomposed, does she the we must be absolutely cautious. and at the same time act with those the responsibility in addressing the sources of pollution from the date bodies under the debris to animate as carcasses. in addition to any chemical materials
8:04 pm
washed away by the floods. libyans from the west of the country have driven across the front lines determined to help those in need and this politically divided 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 must've 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. survive this struggle to comprehend this catastrophe. clearing the modern debris from what remains of their homes and waiting for help. charles stafford,
8:05 pm
which is 0. well, how does 0 is telling us not is in data he has on the ongoing release and recovery operations that said i couldn't cause i know what you had let did. with every passing day, the number of search and rescue teams is rising and then making their way into debt . and we spoke to city officials who said the 1st 3 days were the most difficult. 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 turkish team. the old joint forces to remove the debris and local authorities say the skate 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 the 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. well yeah, i spoke to dr. margret harris. she is the spoke someone for the world health
8:06 pm
organization. she says that the body is washing up don't part is an immediate public health risk is this, the most important thing to understand is that the bodies themselves start cause the epidemic. so the people who died would healthy and they were killed by a catastrophe. so it's not carrying any diseases that are likely to cause and that the demick. now bodies can the contents, so the guy can get into the water. but the water is polluted by many, many things. so it's polluted by storage by all the damage and destruction. so the real problem here is that the was a coffee drunkenness as a threat to the court, to coordinate and made it very clear. the big issue is to get clean, safe drinking water. because indeed, if people don't get that clean and safe drinking water, they will develop many different gastro interest intestinal diseases, carried by well showing by food because they don't have access to clean and safe
8:07 pm
water and food. so cause and even though it started to stress it for people to see this is her risk. but remember each one of those bodies with somebody follow the mother child. there's a family that doesn't necessarily know what happened to them, their social and legal requirements. so pushing and rushing to just dispose of people as if they are now a threat. it causes great harm and the loan to the all the search continues for survivors in morocco, often as quick that hit one week ago, kills nearly 3000 people. aid is gradually arriving in the large areas, but it still remains a huge challenge. stephanie decor traveled out of sale to see the situation then now and has this report. we bumped into a spanish rescue team on the road. so we decided to follow them. and we spend
8:08 pm
a lot of time in the car because these mountain villages are so remote, been 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 a 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 we took care of it. 2229 when nice. 09. just the 4 of you. how is it been?
8:09 pm
what did you seeing since you've been working here? the situation with the people are still scared. me see full treatment. that has a nightmare needs of this population. they need not all in the just medicines, but also they need to the psychologist moment. my goals are to walter and medicines for fever, especially for children and support for mental health. what are the main challenges? do you remember a 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 if we feel like yes you girls are amazing honestly. because show you where i
8:10 pm
come by the way that we're the, these women tell us they need running water and what zip codes, blankets, food, 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, the c o in morocco's atlas mountains, or how lara is in work on with the latest is behind me. trucks as big as excavate has i'll, 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 honest, but the decision of the government on a very ton 3 basis before they move all the affective communities to was temporary
8:11 pm
shelters in buildings waiting for the recall instruction. a plan to be 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 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,
8:12 pm
to the affected zone in the desolate box of all the of the happy center of the as quake. thousands of also work is of 3 major. u. s. companies have down the tools and gone on strike. and so 1st time that all 3 companies, that's general motors, ford and salon to so that they've been hit with simultaneous workouts. the strikes started off to also make is i'm the union failed to renew the terms of the contract to pay the full assessed a deadline. work is on demanding higher wages and reduce our they've had a decade of record profits when they're profitable. it's all there is they want to keep it all. and the sad reality is, you know, they said a quarter of a trillion dollars. the victory have in the last 21000000000 and profits in the 1st 6 months of this year. the price of the cars that went up 30 percent of the last couple years. ceo went up 40 percent. nobody cried a river. nobody put fear out. but by god, the workers ask for their 1st year,
8:13 pm
it's the end of the world. on private insurance, live and says that also work is designed to share it and the company's success companies have made some significant offers. but i believe it should go further to ensure record corporate profits mean record contracts for the identity to say that again, record corporate profits, which they have should be shared by record contracts for the u a w. and just as we're building an economy in the future, we need labor agreements for the future. it's my hope that the parties can return to the coach station table to forge a win win agreement. to continue our active engagement, i am responding to plan dispatching to members of my team to detroit. well that speak to a correspondent, how does your casters he's following this for us in washington dc. heidi is, we've been saying this is the 1st time all of the big 3 are facing and striking ones, but it's not a full scale walk out, right. can you give us a sense of them? right. yeah, at least it's not full scale yet because certainly the uni is president is
8:14 pm
threatening to expand this. currently we are seeing here then a tense of the auto worker unions. a 150000 members actually walk off the job on this picket line and they're picking outside of 3 factories in the midwest. but this thing could be exponentially worse, of course, as a call for the full scale strike. they are demanding work or salary raises a 40 percent over the next 4 years, which they say is in line with how much the ceo was, have seen their salaries and bonuses go up with these record corporate profits that we just heard about. and it's no surprise that this is something that president biden pointed out in his addressing this to the nation today. because he is a, has been unapologetically pro union throughout his presidency and vice presidency. it's notable that in this case and these negotiations, the white house has no legal authority to really intervene or puts them on the
8:15 pm
scale. however, he is sending these to whitehouse representatives to assist in these negotiations and showing to the american public that he is taking this very seriously. and rightfully so, because he's certainly has a lot riding on this and his chances for re election given that americans see the u . s. economy as performing poorly right now despite the data indicating otherwise. and recent polls show that 60 percent of americans nearly 60 percent put the blame on joe biden. and his economic policies will hide in 2019 industrial action against general life as it was just dental lights has been pushed michigan into a recession. and that was a 6 week long strike. how long could this last and how bad could it gets? especially as we head into an election? yeah, absolutely. it depends. if this does go into the full scale, a $150000.00, you a workers all stopping work that would be catastrophic. the number of new vehicles,
8:16 pm
obviously in the market would go down, which means prices for them will go up. and the greatest fear here is that the progress that the us government and the federal reserve has taken on lowering record inflation. all of that may be wiped away. and again by them would likely take the blame of the eyes of voters. but that is still a distance of possibility. it's someone, sir, it's one that certainly people are worried about, but president biden and others are hoping that these negotiations will resume soon and that the strike remains limited in nature. though at this point it seems neither side is willing to take any concessions. oh, well, the comic is for that upon heidi. seemed to be saying they need to save cash for the green transition. and that would also have folder labor invitations. right? that's right. there is in cascading effects of this and bite into has another focus of his presidency, as he always says is to transition into this better greener economy. and the ceo's
8:17 pm
of the automakers say that's exactly why they're, they need these money to invest in this transition, which by many accounts is going pretty well. and they're worried that if this momentum stops, if they instead use that money to increase worker salaries as has been demanded. then the progress may be halted. and of course of theirs all the for an auto makers who are competing and with us automakers. just in recent years of managing to overcome that competition or at least mash, that competition. the automakers don't want progress backwards. how does your customer bear with the latest for us on that strike from washington dc? thank you. honey stella head here on al jazeera, him in 3 days, travel to reach out to meet the saudi officials, to discuss the prospect of this fund. and strengthening the voice of the global south countries representing ation percent of the world's population gather in cuba

8:20 pm
important diseases. rescue workers are starting to retrieve, decompose bodies, moving 5000 people over. they have to have dies and sundays floods that death towards still expected to rise waves. meanwhile, as arriving in america, the government is now looking into the novel task rebuilding a week on from the after break. the country has announced a reconstruction centers and he was, president, has put his wage behind auto workers who have down tools for the 1st time in decades. they're demanding high wages and investment benefits in the wake of record profits for the industry. a crane says it has we taken control of the village just outside, of course, in the east. the village of henri of con, lives, just to the south of the largest battle and russia's war and ukraine. ukraine began . it's counter offensive, and during this year, one of its goals has been re taking key areas and the don't yet screech and i was, are there his name is rob. you reports not from cheese. the ukraine's military has
8:21 pm
reported the successful re taking of a village south of the moods known as on the reef. now buckling with of course, fell earlier this year, easily one of the bloodiest, if not the bloodiest battle in the war with russia so far, the re taking of this village seen as an incremental but important move forward. an important step forward to eventually trying to re take the bus move. the military says that the active operation to retake this village last several days with significant losses on both russian personnel and russian equipment in the region to quote, a statement of from one of the brigades, the brigade that was doing the fighting on the ground. so we take this village in that they say the capture and holding up and the risk guys are way to a break through on the right flank, from bus mood and the key. and this is the interesting part, the key to the success of all further offensives really indicating the boat in which they're operating. they want to move forward as quickly as possible to try to
8:22 pm
re take basketball with that's always been the objective for the premium government for the ukranian military. and there's a team this a try to make as much progress as possible before winter weather returns. ukraine has been criticized by its allies for not having enough success, enough big wins in the counter offensive so far something the ukrainians have brushed aside to say they are doing what they need to be doing as quickly as they can. but this certainly seems to be an eagerness to try to report as much positive progress on the ukrainian side on the ground as much as possible. the defense minister, honda, molly, reported the re taking of one's risk of 24 hours earlier and a correction had to be issued certainly signaling that there was a desire to move forward and the reward is much positive progress as quickly as possible before the winter sets in and still made conditions returned to the front line in the fields of battle here in ukraine. zane besides the oldest directv's to him and associates. i. so there's a whole talks with saudi need is and re add
