been all over every hospital in beirut and now we're waiting for the names to come out and nothing has come out we do not know if he is dead or alive and we do not know where whom a lot of. questions to as to how thousands of tons of highly explosive fare to lies are ammonium nitrate ignited sending shock waves across the capital. the blast was had hundreds of kilometers away in cyprus. political leaders called for unity while visiting what remains of the port even for a people accustomed to horror the aftermath is unprecedented was applied get after this catastrophe and we have to stay strong we have to stay calm but this is too much for a nation to fight of not eilish our. a

massive cleanup is slowly underway but officials say the rebuild could take years. 300000 people have been left homeless the prime minister has declared a 2 week stay to the magic and called on the international community to provide humanitarian assistance. and earlier correspondence of us and i.d.d. in beirut told me from beirut how they roost rather overwhelmed hospitals are dealing with the thousands of people injured in the blast since yesterday some of these casualties there were moved out so to us because our site beirut some of them reach 50 kilometers away from beirut to the east to become about 80 hospitals and because you east of lebanon some other thought other injuries are injured people move to samarra mountain area countryside around 30 to 40 kilometer away from

beirut so special that out in beirut as i said before there's 2 main hospitals that are in complete damage one of them it's totally out of service it close to its members 2 nurses were lost lost their lives yesterday in the explosion it's his injuries get that sort of debate the minister also mentioned a community the hospital to each its capacity right now there's an added bridge. to different countries countries from 40 countries western countries they count off to bridge for. me to treat hospitals for medical ates everything start teaching to writing to lebanon to be airport strong by the way the ports if you plot in beirut it's all of service completely completely off the surface it needs us to be able. you're correspondent reporting

from the router earlier well let's try and find out more now about the substance that is believed to be behind these devastating blasts were not done by professor clifford jones from chester university on the line professor very warm welcome what can you tell us about the substance ammonium nitrate that is believed to have caused these explosions yes well among them nitrate like t.n.t. is one of those differences we still require very crude you know air order to react and there's no question in the structure to which itself oxidizers the other parts of the structure and that represents. the ultimate in fuel treatment 3 mixing which is or a factor which limits the rate of combustion on burning is such a thing or the petrol bomb what could have triggered this massive explosion.

well. tell him i don't i don't know whether or not there were temperature probe thermocouples in the stockpile previously but very often a stockpile of such material will show only very very very weak signs of cheating. before exploding and had there been temperature sensors in the stockpile which for carefully the readings which were carefully noted. it might be possible to detect that the stockpile was approaching the critical stage where very mild heating would be followed by explosion much more vigorous heating and that professor stand this is not the 1st time that the substances cause major disasters by any means one of the most notable was texas city in

the 940 s. but most were recently waco texas as recently as 2013 there was an explosion due to ammonium nitrate that's the story of how the nitrate got to the port in beirut was then offloaded and kept in a warehouse is 2030 does that compute is this something that is commonplace. i don't see why no off i've been reading today comments where it was suggested that the sex and the fact that it was confined to mike you've been a factor i'm not quite sure whether whether i quite understand why that should be so when there's a gacy of explosion then confinement does can exacerbate an explosion but here we're talking about a solid material and so i can't think that there was anything. to cause concern in the procedures we've heard of. in conclusion professor should production

and storage of such highly dangerous chemicals be more tightly controlled well the next if it's a fairly obviously is yes i suggested myself a very simple expedient of checking the temperature that such temperature measurements when interpreted by someone. well versed in the emission theory that's in the prius way. of making some stockpiling safer for ethical for jones from chester university an expert in fuels and combustion so thank you for sharing your insights with that much either thank you. next we turn our attention to india that country has bolstered security in kashmir as it marks one year since scrapping the disputed region's semi autonomous status while the government stripped jungleland cuz near in his only muslim majority state of its special rights last august the renderer modi's government at the move was necessary to bury

and integrate the region and boost its economy but the imposition of direct room cost anger and security restrictions choked the economy and kashmiris there's lockdowns communication blackouts and mass detentions while parallel to that controversial anniversary indian prime minister modi led a ceremony to inaugurate the building of a hindu temple that has been the focus of a bitter decades long dispute between hindus and muslims. oh no this is it stands for an historic triumph for india's hindu nationalist government after a decades long dispute prime minister narendra modi led the groundbreaking ceremony for the new hindu temple at the flashpoint holy site of. the mahdi this temple will become the modern symbol of our culture i'm using the word modern deliberately it will be the symbol of our perennial faith our nationalism this temple will also be symbolic of the united strength of millions.

security was tight in a u.t.i. leading up to the ceremony the city has long been a religious fault line at the center of intensive tarion violence in 1902 a hindu nationalist mob raised the bobbery missouri mosque in najaf the incident triggered religious riots that left over 2000 people dead most of the muslims. hindus believe ram one of their major deedes was born at the site and claimed the mosque was built on a temple there. this case has been going on for 71 years but now finally the divine moment has arrived and everyone is very happy to be able to witness this temple for lord ram where extatic. modi's b j p had long been rallying for the construction of a temple on the site after a lengthy legal battle india's supreme court awarded the disputed a lot to hindus in november of last year the verdict caused disappointment among

india's muslim community but many have since come to terms with the decision. to import the muslim community has accepted the verdict and we want to help with the construction of the temple i mean. you know the as muslims will be able to build a new mosque on a nearby plot but prominent muslim leaders feared the new temple could have bold new hindu nationalists to target other mosques in the region. a far right extremist here in germany has admitted that he was the one who killed a pro refugee politician back in june so funny he is on trial for allegedly murdering c.d.u. politician valter as he stood outside his home in the town he stopped well and had been a powerful voice for refugees and have received death threats for backing chancellor merkel's plans to take in the migrants a back in 26 to. stefan talking to his lawyers as hearings began.
