2:04 pm
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 them. 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 and deputy from what remains of their homes and waiting for how best to save that elder 0 to the party. and i was a 0 is mother trina is also in tripoli. malik, is there a cooperation as far as you can tell between the rival governments of olivia between the east and the west of the well, for libyans, it's not the cooperation isn't. this isn't happening as fast as it should be. i mean, look, just simple things about announcing the number of the dead is becoming,
2:05 pm
is being used as the, as political tools for both governments. so, here in western libya, they've established the emergency committee there, you know, every day around 8 or 9 pm local time, they announced the updates of what's of the situation and does not. and then, yesterday, in a presser, we saw the emergency committee appointed by eastern authorities. they said, where are you going to be doing a presser, a press conference every day at around 5 pm, local time. so a little bit sooner to talk about the, the, the, the numbers and what's and the latest developments. so, you know, the people of libya are coming together of the government. it's, it's, it's, it's people, ours are saying that, you know, they're using this catastrophe to try to build up their political, political influence towards, to,
2:06 pm
towards the international community. malik the main thing that the most effective communities care about. and we've been asking versions of this question for the last few days. is there now, you know, fade coming in there's lots of a going, uh, you know, speaking to people in the city. it's not flooring in as, as fast as it should be. and that could be for a lot of reasons, logistical reasons. i mean, the roads coming into 1000, our many of the rows were destroyed or blocked off completely. so it's very difficult, especially for, for, you know, volunteers and, and, and regular citizens who are trying to bring in a to reach the city. but the hope is with the international teams are coming in the un trying to, you know, or, or in some international management of the rest of the efforts could help the
2:07 pm
libyans bring in more a to the people. but as for right now, it doesn't look like it's enough. m. i like train the reporting from tripoli. thank you very much. my like no trucks have rolled through the city of during the spring . pesticides authorities are trying to sterilize the streets in the hope of preventing the spread of diseases. 8 agencies have warned about them growing risk that could compound the humidity or in crisis. alpha 0 is mohammed out by cali is in during the with more on the ground. how did that? i'm no. oh no, it's about coming by the model of the of the file, but we are in, during the, for what is left of it after floods, which had no mercy on its resident aspect of the why the thousands lost their lives . thousands more are still missing. the countless number of decomposing bodies are still under the rubble. the picture here speaks louder than words and, but the words of survivors are impactful. hope the college is one of them. mean he told us how he survived. there's. thank god for your safety called him. i said i
2:08 pm
must have had a lot of a sudden i said in the less you can you tell us what happened on that day? bobo says, yeah. and then we were all taken by surprise. we never expected such a catastrophe. i lost my young daughter, may god accept her and his mercy. we are helpless and god almighty is our wrong. what's the, how do you? what do i mean? uh, how about several of the, one of the most difficult moments for people here and during the is whenever a body of a loved one found this corpse was just recovered. after being washed up on the shore of the total of 10 bodies have been recovered. this morning alone mean now this ambulance will collect, the bodies are bob and we will try lucky and this is one of the buildings which was submerged according to neighbors. it was home to a family of 10. none of them have been accounted for diverse have been searching under the water hoping to find any of the victims mass that's already in there. but
2:09 pm
that's i mean the catastrophe. and during started in this valley, which now looks peaceful of the how after last week, storm the floods begin in this area is drawing whatever came in its way. and i know there's been widespread destruction. what were once homes, 2 hundreds of families are now in their own graves. search and rescue operations are still under way, but the chances of finding any survivors are very slim problem. instead, rescuers are finding more bodies than survivors. it's a tragedy by all measures. during that is now a disaster stricken city. i'm in the body. i just hear that i'm not starting to leave yet. caroline holds to is the global head of operations of the international federation of the red cross and red crescent. one particular challenge she highlighted unexploded land mines. i'm guessing the age of clothes from the apples to dinner itself provides an additional level of challenge. we know that roadways have been greatly impacted by this. we know that one of the main roads into done
2:10 pm
was partially washed away, which reduces the traffic flow and creates buckle next along that road. but really, the priority is to get those h chromeboys in not only to commence the search and rescue, but to look after the survivors and really provide that key support. so those that i'm now like without anything but also a context such as olivia which has faced conflicts over recent years. we know that that will be security issues on the ground, such as unexploded land mines. when a flip, this size comes through and disturbs the uh, to the extent that this one has those long lines that may, once upon a time, have been not clearly and we understood the location of them. now all of that will be the stuff and it adds an extra level of security risks to all of those, both the population and data. but also those coming in from the outside. the
2:11 pm
more than 300000 people in morocco have been effected by the earthquake a week ago, that's according to the united nations. nearly 3000 people were killed in clean up operations are still underway, villages and towns and the high atlas mountains are among the hardest hit. how about hill bar reports from oregon, south america, where the 8 f is ramping up? this is the assets, the husband used by the gym diamond over the last few days. he's been the focus point of the emergency response operations that has been going non stop since the often math of the earthquake, this headed cop 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 details about what is going to happen. uh, good morning. good to see it. good to talk to you. can you give us a sense of what is happening? our mission is the tools supporting the generators and um, the,
2:12 pm
the color gym. the on the stand, a coffee or 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 world of stages. i read all the to the village, which is the very room and we would be on board with you. thank you very much. it is not the most out of this is the operation center top dynamo. the general is over here with these all the generators we saw 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're because 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 this mix shift comes with all the installations put into place, you have to brace yourself for what could be a prolonged cold weather in the upcoming days. the medical teams over here ready to fly over the area. and this is you can see behind to be more highly comp to us,
2:13 pm
which are going to be part of the active, which continues all the way below. you can see the tone of with gun way with reporting live over the last few days. dotted with tense makes shift comes all the way and the ravine which slip in times its way through the mountains is why you have the most affected areas uh, in the office balances. so let's go to stephanie decker now near inmate and tyler in the atlas mountain stuff you've been traveling through villages in the atlas, and you found yourself on the receiving end of those 8 helicopters at hash and was telling us about bring us into your travels, tell us what you've been see as well . uh villages in the middle of nowhere, completely destroyed. uh, in the last couple of days. pretty much every village we've been to,
2:14 pm
people have told us that they have managed, retrieve all the bodies. they've marriage managed to bury them. the real challenge now is really asking what's going to happen next? i mean, we've heard from the government and from the king saying that reconstruction is going to start clearing is going to start. i want to show you how difficult that's going to be. we are deep in the mountains here by the can zoom and that is the village of dues you see in front of you. and if you, if i do zooms, you see villagers going through what remains of their homes by hand. and there are no bulldozers here. yes, there is a village next door that we will pond to in just a moment. there have been volunteers, animals, and broken fire fighters who have been here, but pretty much everything is being done by hand. the roads here they are windy, some areas only have space for one car to pause. so we're now coming to the village of installer. we came here on our 1st day. you can see how the mountain gave way
2:15 pm
under the 1st quick. i descended upon the village and nothing remains livable, nothing remained standing. and what you have now is exactly this. people trying to pick up what they can by hand. i cannot stress enough how difficult it is to get to these areas. we've been driving 4 or 5 hours into the mountain and to reach some of these villages. and it's become overwhelmingly clear just what kind of a logistics go to college. it's going to be um to rebuild this. in fact, interestingly, we heard today from morocco's director of jew physics institute, who was talking about the fact the danger of land slides in these areas. the fact that a lot of the, the, the rock on the mountains here have been, have been disturbed. so with any off the shock and they do happen that you can have line slides, which is a real dangerous saying that even many of these villagers and the villagers will
2:16 pm
have to be moved to other places. it is a joy norm as task. now we traveled to another area yesterday more accessible towards the. a i a that also has ma, some damage, has a feeling of how people are coping a week after this earthquake. 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 much more stablish than the other, very remote villages. we've been to, but destruction here. so on a very large scale,
2:17 pm
how much of the town has been damaged? this is as low as it might be. you have done 50 percent completely destroyed seats minarette in 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 us with 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 to 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
2:18 pm
. i'm on a how are you coping? we ask, this is god's will. he says, we have to accept it. thank god, we survived public persona. 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. is it the pleasure of me? like i must have got this. i cannot express this. for me. it's a catastrophe. stephanie decker, all g 0 will a but he, morocco's atlas mountains. still a head on alpha 0, same as the his depictions of larger than life, people and objects. we look back at the life of colombian painter, fernando. but tara died at the age of $91.00. the
2:19 pm
it's time for the west to we think the best option for the ukraine. washer war, and what, what those options look like. what is us strategy when it comes to iran for almost 200 years, americans have generally been stuck with 2 political choices, but cannot ever change because it comes to us politics, the bottom line. beauty and richness of nature need to be harmonized with stable and sustainable goals. united with the diversity of cultures that quick jakarta, indonesia is ready to hold the 2023 ations. together. we will prove that patient matters at the center of the world where the news never ends. understanding what's behind the headlines is
2:20 pm
more important than ever. it takes listening to the people behind the news and to the journalists, reporting their stories except intimacy that makes every international story local at heart. i'm only give you that host of the take a daily news podcast powered by the local reporting of elders here. find us where ever you get your pod cast the the, [000:00:00;00] the, the watching else, a 0, a reminder of our headlines. this, our rescue teams in libya as port city of durn us or waiting much needed foreign assistance. bodies are still washing ashore with others buried under the rubble.
2:21 pm
thousands have been killed and thousands more. are missing. the un estimates that more than 300000 people have been effected in morocco acetate, devastating earthquake. a week ago. people in the high atlas mountains are among the hardest kits. nearly 3000 have died. north korean leader kim jong has visited russia's war plains, a naval fleet in the far east and port city, a flat of all stock. he was joined by the russian defense minister sort. i shall go visit his race concerns that north korea may provide russia with weapons for its war. and ukraine. far as louie is following the visit from south korea as capital, so a north korean leader kim joins visit to russia roles into its 5th day. on saturday, he was met by defense minister sir day showing at a natural space where he was showing you k capable bonus. and hypersonic missiles, they can't fly from most go to japan, and then back it carries 12 missiles. this was followed by to her of
2:22 pm
a naval base where he inspected russia's pacific fleet. it may be no co incidence, but kim's itinerary has consisted mostly of visits to defense and military facilities. the north korean vida has spoken frequently of his intention to modernize his country's cletus at cost ships and submarines. while some analysts are skeptical russia what punch with highly sensitive technology. other say the voiding ukraine has given north career the upper hand in negotiations. there are concerns, particularly here in south korea, at a more powerful young young could accelerate an honest race and further the stabilize the median. the kremlin says no defense agreement has been signed doing kim's visit. but the white house believes a weapons dealers in the works. and has won the 2 countries not to violate un sanctions or view has been before the visit. and after the visit, that talks about the provision of weapons by north korea to russia to kill
2:23 pm
ukrainians, have been advancing and continue to advance. in north korea, tim's visit has received widespread coverage. julia and the guest all respected, come raid king drum and visits you re gathering aviation conte respected. come read king drum and express the respectful rushes, fos developing aviation technology that allows it to outpace potential threats from other countries. perhaps an intention to communicate with the domestic audience that north korea is a powerful nation with important allies and rushes. one welcome of kim has left no doubt that these countries intend to build strong good ties. florence li alger 0. so from one that says, go to daniel hawkins was standing by for us in moscow. daniel, is it safe to assume as the us has done, that this trip paved the way for some kind of military co operation between russia and north korea?
2:24 pm
it will certainly an increase in cooperation in that event 6th and has been pretty much admitted by top of visuals. but really, this visit has been about sending of a routine message to the west, a very strong message, and to grab the west detention which has done these very happily images of a cumulative. but the thing military facilities, the navy, the arrow driving, is designed to show that russia and north korea are waiting. that relation is that early in the ministry sphere, but across multiple inspect uh, its fee is mentioned above that i'm approved. so let me so let me have what the, what's the type of sion through these warnings by the west and its allies for north korea and russia not to engage in law. i'm still not to break into the national sanctions. and really, um, it's important for russia as part of this deal to have it allied on the caught up in the asia pacific region, which abuse is a very cheap use for future carrier of competition with the united states. as your us, of course, use north korea as part of the circles access, so we will,
2:25 pm
for russian. old korea is a part and alexis of resistance against us haggard money and don't want it is what it seems to be us expand as soon as of in terms of what all is big of. of course, yes, there was much speculation involved in this, but this, whatever agreement was reached upon close doors is going to be very much routed in secrecy as is this whole visit. because of course, both country will be keen to avoid the consequences of anything leaking. anything going public, north korea wanting to avoid extra sanctions? russia, which is cooling states to observe international law will want to avoid compromising that position. unless i've said will any munitions from both korea, which are old but live will be a game changer. and ukraine is unlikely to be so. so for russia, perhaps the possibility and the threat of such a deal in the eyes of the west is much more important as leverage and a bargaining chip for any possible future negotiations on all the geopolitical uh, global issues. daniel hawkins, thanks for that reporting from moscow. in south africa,
2:26 pm
