remote so the rescue operation has been slow to get off the mark. but this woman is begging to be airlifted out of the region are responding to the distress president djoko with dodo help distribute emergency food supplies he also authorized international aid agencies to enter the country to help struggling local authorities. we didn't expect it to be like this we hope and pray for the communities affected and ask them to be patient we know that there are still a lot of things to do urgently but with conditions as they are that's not possible right now. the aid agencies may have permission to enter the country but they still face huge difficulties the biggest problem right now i think it's access a lot of agencies like ourselves struggling to get to that location so most affected. gallery's one of. the most affected area desperately need to get into

that location with other agencies and try and understand what's happened gradually people are being rescued this woman was pulled alive from a collapsed restaurant her condition was described as critical but she is one of the lucky ones the piles of concrete slabs are sometimes into precarious state for rescue teams to operate they hear the cries of those trapped under the rubble but can do little to help almost fifty thousand people have been evacuated from the worst hit areas homes destroyed and fearful of aftershocks all they can do know is wait for aid from the into new soon authorities and from the international aid agencies to get through. it abuse bastion hot it is underground in palo and joins us now so people are still believed to be trapped in the rubble there can you bring us up to date on rescue operations. yeah there's too many places throughout the city where rescue or recovery operations are ongoing we were at one of those places

today where the whole neighborhood was destroyed by the earthquake and people there told us that just in that one place so low and they think that as many as five hundred people were still buried by the mud and by the debris and they're trying to get them out in that case they don't expect to find anyone alive there anymore they're recovering bodies. you know talking about whole neighborhoods being flattened so how will survive as coping. well everyone you ask has their own story on what happened during the earthquake as a place that i just told you about where you were today people told us that that was sort of like a huge landslide and and they told us how they saw their relatives being sucked into the ground or being being buried by high mountains of mud in a diff in another case we passed by a prison where the prison walls basically just collapse of fell over like you know

how hard and and the head of that is and he told us that when the earthquake happened that the ground inside of the prison opened up and hot water fountains shot up into the air and then the prisoners panicked and that's when walls came down and then they all just off to the left. everyone you ask you has their own story on what happened during the earthquake and a lot of people are understandably afraid and they feel uncertain about what's going to happen now and what is the situation as far as getting critical aid to these people. well the government is trying to or is not trying but is airlifting in aid from other parts of the country with the military doing that mainly but also commercial flights have resumed at airports today and they're also taking they're taking passengers but they're also taking a trip in obviously not as not as much as would fit into one of those military cargo plane so that they're lifting in like food and water and medication

but also other things like equipment to get. the communication system up and running again because after all down as well in that hampers the rescue operations obviously so they're trying to get that up and of course on their way back to making out people who desperately need to leave people who are injured people who are sick who can't be taken care of properly here and follow anymore for old people or pregnant women for example. with the latest from poland we thank you. as i look at some of the other stories making news around the world two people have been killed and dozens others injured as a powerful typhoon swept across the japanese mainland high winds and heavy rainfall battered regions that are still reeling from a series of extreme storms this latest typhoon has sent hundreds of thousands of homes without power. iran's revolutionary guard says it has launched missiles

what also seems to be the case is that they did have or do have a list of targets we heard the prosecutor's office referring to prominent members of society and people of different political persuasion than the far right. men who were detained but we're told the list also included journalists so clearly a pretty pretty concrete plan that they had melinda crane thank you. this year's nobel prize for medicine has been jointly awarded to two immunologist for their work on therapies to combat cancer announcing its decision a short while ago the currents the institute in stockholm said the prize would be shared by fans to go and james alison of the us now allison started a protein that functions as a brake on the mean system while hundreds discovery of a protein on immune cells led to effective treatments in the fight against cancer.
