more scarce rescue teams have had a hard time looking for survivors buildings are smashed together finding spaces where people may still be trapped is a race against time we didn't seem to go our experience is that people can still be found alive up to 80 hours after an explosion or an earthquake so we still have hope. it will also cost us at this point. 16 port workers have been detained others are under house arrest as public anger grows. protests broke out overnight following months of demonstrations against corruption and cronyism many see the explosions as the result of official incompetence the ammonium nitrate was stored improperly for more than 6 years it appears to have come to beirut in 2013 on a cargo ship that was seized in the port the ship's russian captain says lebanese officials were not ignorant about what they were dealing with. when you get to pick

or move there. the authorities knew it was dangerous cargo. they should have paid the owner to take it away instead they seized the ship. or. despite everything volunteers are helping build a makeshift hospital for the most desperate cases reconstructing the rest of what's been lost will be a massive undertaking. exactly while lebanon faces an uncertain future in the wake of these devastating blast today he's in a hospice spoke to the lebanese ambassador to germany my stuff id bad weather and about how the country can move forward after the destruction and be. ambassador your capital has been hit by a massive explosion how has the lebanese community here in germany reacted it's a real catastrophe and of course all those 11 years community here i would community but also the german people as the german government everybody should so

that it was lebanon now the 1st necessity you know it's humanitarian assistance it's why we ask is this humanitarian assistance for us and as you know our medicine stocks next to support of beirut was totally destroyed it's why our message now how we can help this people in lebanon how we can help to bring some medicines yemen foreign minister heikal mas has warned of foreign agents potentially exploiting the current situation in lebanon he's warning of the destabilization of your country what's your reaction to that look this is stage. we are awaiting the investigation we have a committee under under the control of our president the prime minister and i'm sure who will get the 1st element in next a few hours or days and next a few days and now it's a humanitarian catastrophe and lebanon will will come any kind. of assistant very

difficult moment you know we have also and very difficult to economic and financial crisis live on will come more than one 4th of 5000000 syrian refugees since 2011 it's a heavy burden for us it's not the 1st surprises the unknown with us now and of course and on the confidence who will be most welcome but it will be under control of our political leaders and about do you think the political leaders in lebanon will accept help from israel. look do nor we are still in war was israel we have a woodlands in the south if that and the ban on interest sure a little short of village and. our farms under so could patient it's not possible at all we ask israel to leave our land this is what we ask for from israel and to

respect international resolutions international. law this is the most important for us and or to stop violation they leave early violations of our modern time space or our land area and of a world airspace this is what we ask from israel not to come not just to show us another face what we asked to leave our land and to stop by a relation of our area. i have to ask again but what about the office that come from the israeli civil population definitely it is not the time to go now in this debate i told you we still in war is again this is not a word. i would have no debate at all and as a last question what's your message to the lebanese community around the world in these difficult times. is a unique country livin on is there a message of course existant we are

a team coming. it is even because of lebanon is a message of peace of titian 2 guys are sure that lebanon we stand up again and would continue to stand up was the support of our friends before what about this than i would and so out of you john and of course with the support of international community and especially with the judgment thank you so much ambassador thank you very the lebanese ambassadors for germany their lectures our attention to bellaver as their country is getting ready to hold its most hotly contested presidential election in years and there are clear signs the government is seeking to hush up the media rights groups say several reporters have been arrested including freelance journalist alexander berkoff who reports for d.w.i. he's been sentenced to 10 days in prison and that means he won't be able to cover the election president alexander lukashenko is facing a wave of dissent over his dismissal of the covert 910 demick and his human rights

record. and use a director general of peter limburg expressed concern irritation about the arrest of alexander berkoff in a letter to the embassy of the roost your in germany you wrote. on behalf of i protest emphatically and in the strongest possible terms against this obvious arbitrary measure by the state it blatantly disregards the internationally acknowledged freedom of the press and continues at the same time i call on your government to investigate this matter immediately. when i know about some of the other stories making news around the world. the u.s. has imposed sanctions on hong kong leader kerry lamb and other leading politicians in the territory the move is in response to china's recent introduction of a tough new security law in the city lamb and the other leaders ruth will have any assets they own in the us blocked. a landslide triggered by torrential rains has

a steady climb in infections the number of new cases nationwide and stop a 1000 for the 2nd consecutive day. summertime and the leavings easy. the threat of the coronavirus is waning for many in the country. i don't think about it at all not at all. mind don't have to remember to wear your mask. but when you leave public areas it's easy to forget from child. discipline is folding to the wayside. people are letting their guard down because the threat doesn't seem so serious anymore according to the psychologists. people are at a point where they think of testing the limits something maybe i can take my mask off here when it's actually necessary you just met another person sees that and
