12:02 pm
under the mud and rubble or swept out to sea search to investigate. forced continues, but the chances of finding people's draft and a live party, please just call me because it's totally be up to date out of us. so don't do like this and dispatch them, but it's on depending on the streets, washing back up on shore. and bunny is on the deluxe buildings and duties. and just to i was one of my colleagues. content over $200.00 buddies owns it'd be cheaper than the wolf. water carried many people out to see their bodies lie on beaches. hasn't been washed ashore. but these need to be the mentor and body and labels, but the bikes grades need to be met. so that, that is the core of who is funny, is that all the efforts make it possible for loved one blake,
12:03 pm
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, the compass or what like that. before in my wish. now i want to 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 told them mounts. 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 even echo scrolled lines determined to help those in need in this particular divided nation. but just getting the age, what is the the most domains a huge challenge. the copy one hasn't been. it's not easy for
12:04 pm
a man to go through this any god knows what we gain through web, 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 miserables to. and the south all came to help for an age, continues to arrive by a, but they're not news more international assistance and fast survivors struggle to comprehend this catastrophe. creating the mob debbie from what remains of their homes and waiting for how they're supposed to have that which is 0 to they probably are. so i think it's important to emphasize a point that you made in that report, which is the aide is starting to scale up and during the and yet survivors like the one in that report say that they're not getting help. why is that to
12:05 pm
some of the particular the for the 1st couple of days the that was almost no a, the response was quite leave and the people that you're talking to, they're saying that this theme do you, we calls that are the sheets are coming in the form a however, so far that they haven't received enough of that. and one of the reason for that is because the scale of the dis, fortunately so huge and also the whole e plus structure is just gone collapsed. it is making the, for us, be a force to either force a deliberate, extremely difficult just in the city or there enough that up to $40000.00 people that are displaced. i mean, smoke only. they're not in an a be in of magic in suicide that are causes other more stuff that are displaced in a dire need of urgent aid. so the internationally, atheist is, has now come in just in the morning that had the 2 took a sheets carrying a 360 rescue personnel. one, i'm going to 22, a rescue re coast to the same hospitals and the neighboring companies,
12:06 pm
such as tramecia, egypt, the gulf nations. they have sent to the age limit. as i said, competing the scale of the destruction. that is definitely not sufficient. and then every minutes matter, because on one hand, steve, of that, but these are be taken out from the model, is it from the model of the problems? and the other hand towels and columns of people are still waiting for that is you reported yesterday that local authorities and during a may decide to evacuate the city, is that still on the cards? indeed steve left the table that plan because you know, we are on the brink of another disaster off the fly, them to that, to them as being collapse. now the main concern in the city of the particularly is that just because did that, but he started to decompose and it is posing a great how to risk. now for the city, the export of the officials that you have told the said that the a unit on suspicion off
12:07 pm
a subscriber for an academic from the woodson bone diseases. that's why now they're working on that plan completely or partially to recreate the city. however, this is going to get very much complicated task. and libyans are seeing that they cannot handle these by themselves. they need income, national could because they, they need international agencies and also the experts to be involved. but as i said, as having the access to the city of them is not extremely difficult because of the roles being broken, collapse the infrastructure gun. so it's just taking much more time. however, now they see that this is an urgent matter, because if this disease spread off the epidemic, she's the city again, the fear is that it could cost many more lives in the service for suicide are reporting on this from tripoli. thank you very much, russel, more than 300000 people in morocco, a bit affected by the earthquake a week ago. that's according to the united nations. nearly 3000 people were killed
12:08 pm
in clean up operations are still underway, marrakech and the high atlas mountains, or among the hardest hits. well, l 0 is hush him, he'll bar joins us now from where a gun, south of merrick cash. hush, i understand you're at the the hillock port and i believe that that helicopter, behind you is going to be picking off momentarily. it's carrying a tell us what we need to know. indeed, so this is the assets that has been used by the gym dominey over the last few days . he's been the focus point of the emergency response operation that has been going nonstop since the optimize of the earthquake base headed comp to is going to take us. we're going to fly with this crew all the way to some areas. and this is a pilot which is going to give us some, a few details about what is going to happen. a good one and go to see it good to talk to you. can you give us a sense of what is happening?
12:09 pm
okay, good morning. my name is seth inside of school. i know you'll find that today. the, our mission is the tool supporting the generators and me because the gym, the on this helicopter, a super puma of the way of doing that. i'm ready. we will take off from we're again and do it last night over the staging area to the village, which is the very room. how do we we the on board with you. thank you very much. it is fucking mazata. this is the operation center top didn't time any general is over here that these all the generators we thought going to be taken over to the affected area. so we have the biggest challenge, which is going to be over the upcoming days is the weather. and this explains why we, because when we were driving to this field, the basically the biggest challenge was basically the need to deliver more and more a, to the affected areas. because with the mix shift comes with o. uh the installation is put into place. you have to brace yourself for what could
12:10 pm
be a prolonged cold weather in the upcoming days. the medical teams over here, but i did supply over the area. and this is you can see behind me more had a cop to us, which are going to be part of the acid which continues all the way below. you can see the town of web gun way. we would 14 live over the last few days. dotted with tense makes shift comes all the way and ravine which serpentine is its way through the mountains as well. you have the most affected areas uh, in the office balances. this is what we're gonna fly and we're hoping to be able to reach one of those desolate villages. but no one has been before. that's one of the biggest challenges facing the operation now, which is the need to go to those places. this explains why the medical team is over here. the, the bracing themselves for the potential of multiple trapped under the rubber or in just people was have to be thrown in. this had a cup to all the way to where to get it from here. going to the phone either to the
12:11 pm
city of monica or to the mix, if clinic hospitals that you saw with us yesterday. awesome. quick question. before i let you go, and before you get on that helicopter, is this the main launching pad for 8 operations going into those villages in the atlas mountains? or are there multiple um, 8 hubs as it were. the biggest is the one. what was your 1st time from the city of bought a cash serial. they say the full with a price and send to bailey used by the gym, done money. why is it crucial? it is crucial for the simple reason that we're not really far from the very at the center of the as quick as soon as they had a cup to takes off flies over this area. then we have this center and we would further move to the, the move to the affected. so the generate to is helping out those into the how the
12:12 pm
cop to we are expecting the medical team to the, to be on board with us in a time. now and then we're going to now serial and they also always say that they are expecting students to start school on monday in the very effected zones. this pitching of tons, now setting up temporary schools that they are discussing, the need to move many of the students into urban centers when it comes to the civilian strapped into those areas, particularly the victims of the quakes. that's the debate, the need to move them as soon as possible to attempt to reach out to us because they do understand as soon as it gets cold and ready, it's going to be an extremely delicate operation. look, if they're able to start school 8 to 9 days after that earthquake given the scale of the devastation we've seen, that will have been a pretty remarkable accomplishment on the part of the authorities. how can i help bar will be very keen to see what you find out when you get on that helicopter. thank you very much. and our correspondence stephanie decker has been traveling
12:13 pm
around the affected areas. she since this report from labor here, we've come to a different location today. this is the town of like team. it is easier to get to. there's more infrastructure around here, very much. also as 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 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?
12:14 pm
this is as low as it may be. you have done 50 percent, completely destroyed the seats minarette in crowds. 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. yeah, we'll go this way and find his friend, his home and fine next time onto your phone. he tells him, don't make me worry. we've been traveling through the mountains, is post week 2 villages, more remote, less remote. and everything we see raises the question just how difficult it is 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,
12:15 pm
we survived public us on it. this man tells us we have enough said 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. is it the pleasure of me? 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, the north korean leader kim jong and has inspected rushes, warplanes, a naval fleet and the for eastern port city of level stock. he was joined by defense minister, so i gotta show a boot during the last leg of his trip. while in russia came, has also visited space and military facilities and met president vladimir putin, his trip as raised concerns that north korea may provide russia with weapons for
12:16 pm
its for, and ukraine was yours, florence louise, following kim's trip from south korea's capital, we'll hear from her in just a moment, 1st though she was daniel hawkins and moscow with more on that visit. but it's clear that messaging is a very key part of this visit on the way that teams are attending. murray and the images have been visiting the space. sports ministry facilities has been very carefully drip 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 must go on putting young a closer than ever in them more than history. and though there's been no memorandums or agreement signed a food in hot. i see lots of areas for cooperation 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 to have 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
12:17 pm
korea on site as well with this large standing army and space. and visions is really important for us where 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 all me cooperation. 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 closely related to what he said. his country needs for his defense purposes. and we've seen him visit a fight to jet factory or followed by a total of an air force base and military experts say north korea is air force is in need of an upgrade, but pains, and mostly from the 1980s that would struggle to keep up with a more modern treat, we also saw him touring, rushes, naval base on salt today. and north korean leader kim jong has said that he wants
12:18 pm
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 spaceport earlier this week. and we know north korea is in need of satellite technology, which would help it will dismiss all guidance system. it would also help expire on neighboring countries. now, some analysts, however, skeptical 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, 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 at 3, were able to upgrade its weapon system and able to boost its developing nuclear weapons program. it could accelerate and arms raised in the region, it could further de stabilize the beach. and then if we look at media coverage that came to visit has received in north korea media,
12:19 pm
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. still ahead on alpha 0 seeking a new economic world order delegates representing 80 percent of the world's population beats in cuba. plus, i'm hot and with us in the way so that because of paying the respect to principal to lazy as soon as additional events at the band with the complicated political history, the competent beyond well taken without hesitation for them died for
12:20 pm
power that finds out while we live here, we make the rule, not them, they find an enemy, and then they try and scare the people with that. and the people in power, investigate, expose this and questions. they use them to be the power around now to sierra on counting the cost, the african union joined for g $20.00. but will this bring real change to the developing world? what's to come? a cost of morocco strong as earthquake and a century less, inflation hit a new record in egypt. we explore how egyptians are counting the cost on. i'll just dear the the,
12:21 pm
[000:00:00;00] the watching else is 0. reminder of all headlines this. our rescue teams in libya is port city of turn a are waiting much needed for an assistance. bodies are still washing a shore with others buried under the rubble. thousands have been killed and thousands more. are missing. the un estimates that more than 300000 people have been affected in morocco asked of a devastating earthquake a week ago. their cache and the high atlas mountains are among the hardest hits. nearly 3000 people have done. the north korean leader kim jonathan has visited russia's pacific naval suites in the far eastern 4th of july of all stock ashes defense minister. so guy is showing the company name on the last leg of his multi
