11:05 am
what are some of these in depth? not these been speaking the residence and recounted their experiences about the moment, the flood struck of the whole is doing that, that extra head that's and that's what we've heard. painful stories of those who lived to win survived the floods. hot, cringing accounts from the residents of the area. libyans and foreign nationals are likely, i mean, of the high. yeah. that, that you should. i had diane is small about a product that i am no joined by 2 weeks. a witness who survived the disaster to read is from egypt and sees more than 70 addictions from bonnie swipe for killed in the store. but we'll see how that i thought i'd, we've done that and was a misdemeanor. you'd actually had to pull the petty tennis which you experienced on that night when not popular early the night before the flight hate. it was raining heavily. we felt strange staying at home while others needed help in the areas closer to the sea. so we went down with a police and rescued families. i'm sure what about the water was reaching them up
11:06 am
to the next. i feel like i'm less than way a couple of the the situation was quite dangerous, but still we went to the streets. the power transformers started to explode. so we stayed people away from the danger. then we heard a loud sound when we reached the mosque. at that point, we suddenly saw an incredibly high wave coming our way from the body. we were shocked. we realize that many of those living on lower ground would be submerged. we ran to higher ground. by the time we reached the top, we heard loud bands like into this quake. it literally felt like doomsday. a good she daniels is a deputy director general of the international organization for migration. she says the volume is attending them. one of the biggest needs of support for mental health as we've been on the, on the ground trying to get a good assessment of what the situation is. we have provided medical supplies for
11:07 am
about 5000 people. i'm for the next month. are people on the ground? everybody that they spoke to talked about, the need for support for their mental health, for the trauma that they've gone through. so we as i o m, have brother in our mental health psycho social support team. they're working with the ministry of health to get people the support that they need. but having such thoughts so much more, it needs to be done. the impact of the devastation changes by the hour. there is a suspense coming in, but much, much more as needed. the most recent numbers i got from the teams are around 46000 have been displaced by the flood. many of them are being sheltered in homes. those homes weren't destroyed in during that, but also in neighboring towns. and actually, they're not as bother have been a hospitable place right now for those who have been displaced. so many are on the
11:08 am
move to neighboring villages. schools, reopening and central morocco 10 days off to the devastating of quake in the hardest hit areas in the angeles mountains, less than being held in tens of thousands of people remain and make shift comes to you and says the us quite the spice. more than 300000 people godaddy i spoke to. i'm just here as high as your mazda barbara. who is that to make shift schools in the us? me. this is one of the areas that were devastated by the, as quite a this was crucial for them to stock school. so going to give us sense of life back to normal, would expecting more and more students to arrive next hour for the simple reason that they would be transported from the villages all the way to this area that has been converted into a make shift, scroll down likely to stay here for at least 2 to 3 months before the government
11:09 am
decides on whether they would be valid k to 2 schools in the major urban centers, such as the city of bad. i catch all of the areas, but this is quite a significant moment. they've just started school few days before the earthquake. when the quick happened, everything was everything changed, a live that has completely changed. some of the students unfortunately won't be able to make it sounded because they died in the escalate. some of them lost that is others lost everything. good one and good to see anybody speak english here. give me an idea. uh can you give us got started? how do you feel about consolidate them and they didn't have a look at sort of how long please to a to show you. she says that she's stressed. that's why this is more efficient as
11:10 am
what this is strange. we've never been so something like this. oh jesus, do that in a totally different environment for us. i'm still get all the savings. okay. she has. oh, i'm cisco something else. what happened like an of the shock smidgen fuzzy, mega courageous and is a thank you. i really appreciated. thank you. well, this is it savvy, so totally different life. all these people, they do understand that life is never going to be the same again. however, it has to continue last spring more not top story, the prisoner swap between the us and the wrong 5 us prisoners held in the wrong, are expected to touch down and considered in a few hours. let's go live to him. ron kahn. he's at the airport here in del, how so iran, 1st of all, we know the process has been set up, but take us through what happens next. the, well,
11:11 am
this has been a very carefully choreographed procedure. it began with $6000000000.00 that was actually seized in south korea. and the sanctions little that by the americans. that money was then as part of the deal transferred to switzerland, switzerland. uh, it was then transferred to contact once uh the countries at confirm receipt of that the prison, the exchange, and then began. now 5 american prisoners have been taken to the airport to fly in a suit from tyrone into cats. it should take about 2 hours. that's going to happen in the coming hours at the same time a ronnie in prison is in america will be released now this 5 prisoners that as well . 2 of those will remain in the united states to will be sent back to tyrone. and one will go to a 3rd country where he resides with his family on the american side, once the income, they'll be met by representatives of the us embassy. here. i'm the state department, and then they'll be flying to america. that was previous present exchanges. i
11:12 am
anything to go by. they'll be an intense security debriefing, but they'll go through a medical evaluation as well. but present, right? you see who's in new york at the moment for the you in general assembly has said that the prisoners are in good health, that they've been treated very well. so there's been a lot of moving parts to make this happen. the negotiations have been going on for about a year. a lot of times that was fed that it wasn't going to go through the republicans . i'm actually accused of the vitamin ministration of paying a rental. so to get these prisoners paid, however, the button administration i said, this is how you do it. we didn't pay that money, which is a ronnie in money originally. it would never have happened can. so it talking about the money and wrong, tell us a little bit about the process of dispersing the funds in the role, but the author is playing in that well, this is very, very interesting because the negotiations between the iranians, any americans was very tough that would mediated by the categories,
11:13 am
the iranians and the americans over the past you never met face to face. this was the very pits of me. oh, but shuffled diplomacy, the country's going literally at some points from room to room with the also with their advice and then going back to the other side. and that's how this deal has happened. now the money was a key part of this. it's actually iranian money, it was seasonal korea as a sorry, south korea, as i say, however, once the money is in the cash we bank account, it has to be used by the iranians. be monetary and 8, however, present, right? you see, a said it will be used for the benefits of the iranian people and they'll be up to the iranians. how they spend that. however, the american site, if there's any inkling, the, the money is being spent on site, for example, the weapons, then they'll austin countries. this still sending any more money to around. so that's really the bad buttons of the deal. it is a very controversial data within the us itself. however, the button is ministration sticking to their guns. like this was the anyway, we were going to get all people out and this is a good deal. all right,
11:14 am
we'll leave it the thanks so much. mon. com. the lead is renewal for the 78th section of the united nations general assembly that begins on tuesday, many questioning whether the assembly has the political will pallets put assigned to a political tensions, and address the needs of the world's most valuable regions. i'll diplomatic, add it to james bay's reports from the un headquarters every year. this is the time of year when world leaders come to new york and speaking the un general assembly. last year, ukraine's presence lensky address the gathering by video link. but this time is expected to attend in person. with president putin facing the rest warrant from the international criminal court is not coming and will be represented by his foreign minister. so gay laughter off the u. n. c's,
11:15 am
no chance of meaningful discussions on ending the war, but they will work towards the renewal of the deal, which allowed ukraine's grain to be exported by ship on the black sea. russia pulled out of that agreement in july, i will be receiving presidents, savanski. i will be receiving present that of a one i'll be receiving the minutes that love at all. and obviously this question will be the on the table of all of the discussions. and so i'm not going to say where that i am optimistic or pessimistic. the only thing you can be sure to zip i remain determines the other key areas of discussion this week is the sustainable development goals. being out of the scene by the secretary general's deputy and the government of un headquarters, they've built a special pavilion to highlight the series of targets, the u. n. a great in 2015 to help all of humanity with the slogan, no one left behind. but those 17 goals, which are marked by these doors, are
11:16 am
a very long way from being met. the u. n. blames the global pandemic inflation all around the world. i'm conflict and of course that brings us back to the war and ukraine. the deputy secretary general told me the most powerful countries of the world. the g 20, which met last week in delhi, are the ones who still need to do more with regard to funding and reformed with the global system. they absolutely need to step up. they should have done so yes. today we are 7 years late to stepping up to the commitments made an address. what we see is some movements towards saying we will do that, but i think there are many frustrations, trust deficits around will that happen? will it not happen? so you and really hope still be a quantum leap in the fortunes of the sustainable development goals over the next few days. but some diplomats via the war and ukraine might end up overshadowing these efforts. james, base elders 0 at the united nations. ahead of that you and me things thousands of climate active as of right in new york,
11:17 am
calling on world latest to end the use of fossil fuel. the wrangler is the rank to the us president joe, binding the urging and stuff, improving new oil and gas projects. the roaming will be a main focus of view in general assembly. for the 1st time, the gathering will feature our climate ambition summit, and the sidelines is the number one oil and gas producer in the world right now. america alone is responsible for one 3rd of oil and gas expansion in the world. so we're asking president biden to turn the tide against fossil fuels and phase off the phone. right now, the impacts upon materials on the caribbean and other parts of the global south are absolutely devastated. and i'm here to bring attention to the impacts of all fast fuel induction here in the global north. as having the argument is like the one i come from. still i had an al jazeera hotter with us in downtown to have it with somebody. and and there was
11:18 am
a housing keep watching. yeah. the last 2 days to see the flooding in spain, in from yesterday in england is this batch of plat, a couple of friends is coming from. the atlantic now is dropping the temperature and that contrasts is produced. big thunderstorms and flooding in the streets in particular, extra had about a months worth of rain in 24 hours. so there is both a company before thunderstorms and softening. maybe no minute and then it, i think it an accumulation of radiance of norway seems likely on monday night. so fresh flood potential there as well. there for the size of the tails off a bit. i think we've got a warning ad for noise initially for a few hours yet because there's still some potential in those thunder storms that
11:19 am
basically this front loses in participate, goes further east. watch proc 29 degrees go down to 23. so it drops temperature and there are still some stones to be had in maybe poland and the baltic states with any tails off, as it gets to the bulk and tempt you don't drop much are the, i'm the son patrick to. this is a little time. no doubt about it, but the rest of you to just cool down a little bit. it's still pretty healthy now g area, the breeze is coming up from the south. and then this breeze, it comes down through more changes. bringing decimal is adults don't potential otherwise. as the bar is in west africa is particularly with in sierra leone. the, the
11:20 am
question question is war with lawanda, imminent rigorous debate, or dying because of black lives? don't really matter. and the police will join me, mark them on hill upfront without a 0. the the, i'll come back here watching, i'll just see what time to recap on headlines now. iran and the us saw juice conduct a major prison. the swapped lights are on monday, under the deals $6000000000.00 of frozen uranium funds to be transferred to banks and of washington says that money's only for humanitarian use. more than

10000 people are still missing a week off the 2 dams collapsed following heavy rain in east and libya rescue workers, se retrieving bodies and find find that the schools reopening in central america has 10 days off to the devastating us quite in the hottest hit areas and the atlas mountain students will be taking the lessons and tense farm is in ukraine's northern. assume a region se then working under a constant sort of attack russian tanks tillery and across across the board. i have hit, i will cultural lines hundreds of times. so in most of all, the has more from the village of kinetic for harvesting season. in wartime, ukraine of navigating open fields near the russian border means risking land mines an unexploded box. always keeping one eye on the sky for drones, missiles and russian artillery. it could just be one of the most dangerous jobs in
11:22 am
the world. would the people's lives are a priority. we only work when we know it's safe and there was no for us to learn. we take every precaution here. some of us feel the mind of the field. we cannot get to because the road to mind, much of the farms in to me region are no go areas because of russian munitions left behind, or ukrainian land mines, place there as a deterrent. when a russian shell hit her farm, tatiana lost 27 head of cattle. she describes unrelenting russian attacks and says to me, needs more help me in this bar trick versions, fly drones every day and watch what is happening here. these spots us an open fire . they are shooting that civilians, there's no military here and they know this, but they still open fire. damage from artillery and showing is fairly common in
11:23 am
places like this in the see me region. and that's because we're only a few kilometers away from the border. russian positions are set to be just beyond those power lines behind me. but this is not a normal front line. there are no tanks or trenches or troop movements. none the less communities here say they come under attack on in your daily basis. just as we arrive to drone dropped grenades damaging a nearby cell tower, further isolating people here as a russian attack also damaged the local school and leveled the only hospital in this village. many have left. those still here show signs of stress and depression. so it's no fair is fair. what else is that to say? i'm considering leaving? i have 2 children and it's terrifying to live. hey, i feel terrible. i feel that i don't want to do anything. i can't get used to it. should we do the mining work to make farm land viable again?
11:24 am

11:27 am
only way to address the problems, ensuring that the solution for one nation does not mean creating a problem for another nation is to technical external dimension and stop the illegal departures of migrating. a major part of georgia maloney's message is that this is a european border as well as an autonomy in one requiring a european solution. but despite a civil underlines 10 point plan much remains unanswered as to exactly what that solution is going to be, whether it will work on whether it will be sufficient for those who voted in georgia, maloney as prime minister back at the reception center. we also do from booking this also about the visit and the politicians distinction between refugees and economic migrants move in the international protection because there is no peace in our country here because we don't have an a toner to from the point because the seat to reach a tele leaving our families behind. why should we do this if we have really for the some piece in our country. on monday,
