11:01 am
this past week and everything we see raises the question just how difficult it's going to be. to access these places, clear it and then rebuild those korea's liter inspects bombers and a warship with the russians, defense minister on his visit to the far east in the way so that because of paying their respects to principal, to lazy as soon as the additional events at the time of the complicated political history for nearly a week after devastating floods hit eastern libya, bodies or washing up on its shores and others are still under the rubble. authorities are overwhelmed by the extent of the destruction. international agencies have promised help, but much of it has yet to arrive in the hardest hit port city of during the thousands of died and operations to recover the bodies continue for so sort or
11:02 am
begins our coverage. with this report from tripoli, thousands of people are still missing and fears that buried under the mont and rubble or swept out to sea search and risk air force continues, but the chances of finding people's draft and a live party. increasingly, the community is totally up to date out of us, i don't like this and destruction, but is understanding the streets, washing back up on the show and body is on the collapse buildings and duties. and just to i was one of my colleagues content over 200 bodies on the beach and then on the 4th or carried many people out to see their bodies lie on beaches, haven't been washed ashore. but these need to be the mentor and body and labels, but the big grades need to be met. so that, that is the core of who is buddy,
11:03 am
is that all the efforts make it possible for loved one blake, totally covered by the and have the close of a private button. they have to prevent people from going missing whenever there is mounting fear or disease as the heat and bodies decompose or what like that before my wish. now i want my brother and his family back. my home is damaged. the most precious thing for us. i want my brother and his family. i want to find them and bury them. they under the rubble people wins in the walls, the others under the rubble. they can bring machines and pull them out. i can take them to the buildings to see rushing bodies. there are families be that i know and i know we, they are, they are starting to smell libyans here from the west of the country, have that even echo scroll the lines determined to help those in need in this particular divided nation. but just getting the age, what is the the most remains
11:04 am
a huge challenge. the copy one hasn't been, it's not easy for a man to go through this. any god knows what we're going through. we're back to square one. no one helps you. even the government didn't help us. we are left on our own in the streets. the government doesn't even have the resources to help. thankfully we, libyans are as one, those from tripoli is the route to, and the south all came to help for an age continues to arrive by a year. but they're not these more international assistance and fast survivors struggle to comprehend this catastrophe. creating the mob devry from what the remains of their homes and waiting for how they're supposed to have that, which is 0. today, probably the oversoul is with us from triple a restore. it was really struck by what one of the survivors said just now in your report quotes, no one helps you. even the government didn't help us. we're left on our own in the
11:05 am
streets. the government doesn't have the resources to help this. the aid reaching during a well being to national aid keeps coming in the city. but this a k a all the destruction is so massive. so there are being several countries across the world from europe to is your neighboring countries, such as soon as yet egypt and also the gulf nations. they have sent the, the aid and the people in the city of them. now seeing that they actually seen the age coming into city bus to afford, they haven't received enough just to be in the morning that into more attractive ships. kevin, a just arrived in ben gods and it was carrying 360 rest search and rescue personnel . and 122 rescue vehicles and also 3 field hospitals. so far that has been coming there. however, there is a problem with the organization of that, how to distribute that. as i said, the destruction of the security is scale. the destruction is so immense was just in
11:06 am
the city of them now for now. in addition to the powers of that people there at least $3.30 people that are displaced and it's not only the city of there or not. but yeah, the match and suicide and some of the other places that are poses more that are still waiting for the aid and such as the caleb destruction is beyond the libyans capacitance. that's why it's full for despite the mass aid keep arriving, it's definitely very much insufficient to handle this crisis. tell me about something that you reported yesterday. you mentioned that local authorities in, during our were considering evacuating the city altogether. is that still being contemplated? and they are still working on that plan just so we have talked to them and whether that plan is still at the table to say yes, probably they are going to do that. but they're working on the details because it's
11:07 am
going to be a very tough task. to do that, can see that in huge numbers that it is not an easy task. so the reason behind it is that the bodies after several days, now the bodies are become pausing at, pausing. sewage health risk down. this is rapidly rapidly the title of the 10 and the officials they're, that's 1st, they're saying that this could lead to an environmental cries of disaster that could cost many more lives. and then from there, the, this guys can get bigger because of the water board and diseases. that's why steve, they're working on that either completely or at least partially particular to work sheets, place as part of the city to be if that created. but libyans say that they cannot do that themselves, they need to coordinate with the international community. and that's why it's becoming more and more complex. complicated. however, there is an urgent need for me to have a christian. this is what this townhouse or so sort are in tripling. thank you.
11:08 am
the more than 300000 people in morocco have been affected by the earthquake a week ago. as, according to the united nations, nearly 3000 people were killed and clean up operations are still underway. marrakech and the high atlas mountains are among the hardest hits. our correspondence stephanie decker has been traveling around the affected areas. she filed this report from the atlas mountains. we've come to a different location today. this is the town of light. but here it is easier to get to there's more infrastructure around here, very much. also, a tourist pays for tours coming. we're trying to figure out what the situation is like here. we bumped into this gentleman david. uh yes. it is. okay. we're going to see a friend of his who is with him. david was here the night of the earthquake on
11:09 am
friday night, and he says he hasn't heard from his friend. he's not answering the phone. so this town is uh, much more stablish than the other very remote villages. we've been to, but destruction here. so on a very large scale how much of the town has been damaged? this is as low as it might be. you've all done 50 percent, completely destroyed seats, minarette and crux. and again, here just goes to show again, the challenge of um, bringing heavy equipment into these areas. removing all of this and rebuilding, that is the main challenge, really everywhere. here we go, the frame for his friend is home and fine. next time onto your phone. he tells him, don't make me worry. we've been traveling through the mountains this past week,
11:10 am
2 villages, more remote, less remote. and everything we see raises the question just how difficult it's going to be. to access these places, clear it and then rebuild that article. how are you coping? we ask this is god's will. he says we have to accept it. thank god, we survived public us on it. this man tells us we have enough age. the coming winter is the problem. as the whole village is sleeping outside, i ask him what it's like to see his village in the state. the pleasure of which they may like to print. i must have got this. i cannot express this. for me, it's a catastrophe. stephanie decker all g 0, while a but he morocco's atlas mountains, north korean leader kim,
11:11 am
jonathan has inspected russia's war planes and naval fleet and the far eastern port city of flat of both stock. you have joined by defense minister, so i gotta show who during the last leg of his trip while in russia came, has also visited space and military facilities. and of course, he met president vladimir putin, his trip, his race concerns that north korea may provide russia with weapons for its war and ukraine. officers arose flores. louie is following kids trip from south korea's capital. we'll hear from her in a few minutes 1st though. here's daniel hawkins and moscow with more on that visit or what it's clear that messaging is a very key part of this visit us on the way that teams are temporary and the images have been visiting the space. sports military facilities has been very carefully dripped by to the media, knowing that the west is watson and the west is worried in particular, at western allies in the region. japan and south korea. and the message is very clear that most of them putting young a closer than ever in them more than history. and though there's been no memorandums or agreement signed of food in hot. i see lots of areas for cooperation
11:12 am
with north korea, agriculture transport, logistics, that triangle with china. shipping. it's very clear, this is a total upgrade and relations, and it's very important for russia, tough partners in the asia pacific region, which is a key region of ju strategic competition between the us and russia. china, of course, is one major russian partner russian highlight in the region. but having north korea on site as well with this large standing on me and space and visions is really important for us. so it's important to have north korea and it's awesome. all the tools to push back against what it sees as western improvements in the region. the question is, of course, if this messaging, if this fostering can transfer into something real life on the ground, some sort of we, we'll upgrade in defense cooperation in the army corporation. and then other fee is as well. and we'll find that out, i guess in the coming weeks and months. kendra one's visit so far seems to be
11:13 am
closely related to what he said. his country needs for his defense purposes. and we've seen him visit a fights, a jet factory or followed by a total of an air force base and military experts say, no squeeze air force is in need of an upgrade, but things are mostly from the 1980s that would struggle to keep up with them all more than feet. we also saw him touring, rushes, naval base on salt today. and north korean leader kim jong has said that he wants to modernize the north koreans naval forces. he visited a ship that was built in the 1980s that's been more than nice to include upgraded weapons. and then of course, that was his visit to the spaceport earlier this week. and we know north korea is in need of satellite technology, which would help it, but it's miss all guidance system. it would also help it spite on neighboring countries. now, some analyst, however skeptical, is that north korea would get the sort of advanced technology from russia, and not to mention that this would be against you in science, but also, and let's say north korea appears to have the upper hand in negotiations here,
11:14 am
up to one and a half years of war with ukraine, russia is in bad need of weapons and ammunition. now the ramifications would be huge. if north korea would be a threat, was able to upgrade its weapon system and able to boost its developing nuclear weapons program. it could accelerate an honest race in the region. it could further the stabilize the region. and then if we look at media coverage that came to visit has received in north korea media, it seems to suggest that his visit is also for domestic audience. we know the country a sofa economically because of pandemic closures, because of recent floods that have affect the crops and farmland, the country is suffering from food shortages because of the weight of international sanctions. so this seems to be an intention to really portray him as a capable leader who as possible friends abroad or in south africa, now is state funeral is getting underway. some veteran politician members to, to be to leslie. that's in quite zulu. and that's how motors have gathered and learn the town. several dignitaries, including president, civil run, a poster,
11:15 am
and the zulu royal family, or expected to attend. this little prince who died in the hospital last week, played an integral role in the enter your party room with us to join us from the town to balloon. the ink was when the town where the funeral is taking place, how we've described. so it's a little bit where you are, what's happening around you and what you're expecting today. the old printer was the traditional prime minister. the very prominent speaking. yeah. so what we culture ceremony on display a lot of things. that is, what advocates do a funeral to celebrate. someone's life is taking someone along the line with the lady was a lie hit by so made king hit by the time king and the also make sure the right a as soon as the throne of the kingdom in the past 2 days before his family doing a lot of rituals and custom, but to do when the prominent zullie man dies,
11:16 am
it's amazing that he's sold talks on say me to be off to live. this is now the big funeral. you're getting high traffic is coming here. so might the parts of the state there is 6 celebration. how is principal do? is he going to be remembered as a politician lieutenant man of a complicated political history. it began just before 1994. when a pa tape ended, some people called a black on black file and see what the lead on the project is supportive. where having money back to me, but a, b a and c party. many people were killed because clinics able to raise the side with white apply to saw that. but let's try and delay the end of apply to try to get to in the lay off side delay independence off to that. so it was negotiations that took place even towards the government in 1994. he was homeless days, minutes and throughout the at the pilot when he was non full speaking out against
11:17 am
and the times when they, when they did something wrong, as it got all the politicians say, you will see more as an advisor to that type of how to run the country properly, and that's not many people did. so that's what i say, that going to me by him. how, but the reporting there from cause a little the town of balloon d. thank you very much. still ahead on al jazeera, we meet the somali soldiers on the front lines as the army launches another offensive against del shabani and famous for his depictions of people. and objects will be looking back at the life of columbia and fainter fernando montero and has died at the age of 91 the it's the weekend. here's our forecasts for europe in africa. great to have you along. got to tell you almost all the portugal is under a weather alert for intense rain over the next little bit. so here comes around one
