people on board slid off the runway while landing in the state of cairo. welcome to the program we start in lebanon where the united nations is warning of a humanitarian catastrophe after the massive explosions that ripped through the capital beirut on tuesday u.n. agencies say they're struggling as they try to support hundreds of thousands of people in need of help residents have started a big cleanup effort but they're concerned that most of the burden has landed on bare shoulders. and now deeply familiar sound echoing through beirut shattered glass being cleaned up by deeply frustrated civilians. this was what i've beirut hospitals with much of the infrastructure destroyed doctors and nurses have no choice but to join the cleanup. was i work in the operating theater

there's nothing left everything is destroyed everything. it's a similar site down the road it said george hospital here britain was on shift when the blast hit. you know what we had 3 patients over here we even had to ventilate 2 patients on the floor my colleague and i did everything we could to save them luckily we succeeded. the world has been warmed by the sight of the people of beirut and joining together to clean up their city but the ones doing the sweeping are also angry. they say preexisting corruption and incompetence by the government has caused the relief effort to fall short. of her. left. government. there.

were. as local and international rescue teams continue to search the rubble for me seeing the people who pay their rage towards the government saying it's time to oust the political elite. let's get more now from my colleague. this is a country and a city that can't catch a break and now and now this what is going through people's minds here what is their what are their lives like you know i spoke to somebody in lebanon just yesterday who said before this blast they couldn't possibly think that the situation in lebanon could get any worse and then this comes and so far it seems that it happened as an accident so the level of incompetence that people now feel towards their government is really unprecedented this is a country that has or had already been suffering from an unprecedented economic crisis right the value of the lebanese pound has lost had lost more than 80 percent since october you already had organizations before the blast who said if this

current trend continues if the economic crisis continues to worsen at the pace that it is you will have 60 percent of the population under the poverty line by the end of 2020 and now you have this explosion coming at a strategic asset for the country right it's a port through which it imports its food supplies its medical supplies and the medical system is also really i mean right before the explosion the big beirut hospital at the center of the covert 19 response had had to lay off 200 of its staff nurses doctors and you know you have 2 hospitals that were completely blown out because of the explosion so it's really a very very dire situation and it's an incredible downward spiral i mean one wonders how does this city recover. this is the question that it is on everybody's minds today i think i've spoken to some activists on the ground who are saying whatever the path of recovery the current people in power it cannot be the ones in

power today for. well we saw president micron's french president micron's visit who said that he's here to do a new political pact with the political leaders somebody told me this is giving them a legitimacy that we just don't want we're seeing today calls for mass protests in the main square in beirut martyr square people are handing symbolic nooses for the politician saying resign or hang it's hard to see what the road of recovery is going to look like exactly but it's very clear that lebanon needs help from the international community the international community needs to step in there needs to be a serious conversation about reform with the people in power to make sure that this it also goes to the people that needed the most to see my that's going to happen it's very difficult because lebanon has historically been a country where regional powers really play out their rivalries right you have iran trying to counter saudi arabia through hezbollah you have you know the west involved with all kinds of things and. these interests i think have to be put aside

there needs to be this needs to be a turning point because if lebanon in the current situation that it's in right now continues to be a playground for regional powers it's hard to see how this will play in the interests of the people that are now really they've lost everything they need a very very dire situation on precedent and lebanon's bloody history you know a civil war a month long war with israel in 2006 but people are saying this is really this is really next level an explosion that ripped apart a city but also seems to ripped open a lot of old for him thanks very much. bellers is getting ready to hold its most hotly contested presidential election in years and there are signs that the government is seeking to hush up the media rights groups say several reporters have been arrested including freelance journalist alexander book of who reports for g.w. he's been sentenced as 2 sentenced to 10 days in prison meaning he'll be unable to cover the election president alexander lukashenko was facing

understanding and corporative which also has to do with the great amount of helping hands that have been put in place here some soldiers of the german army for example also volunteers from the german red cross they help the passengers give them advice information and guide them through this testing procedure so let's get into that procedure what exactly are travelers facing when they come into germany. when you sit on the plane. traveling to germany you will be given a passenger locator card that you have to fill out it contains information about your own health but also what kind of potential contact you had in the country you are traveling from this card will be collected and it's the base of the data that the health authorities have in order to know who must be tested who must be

getting into quarantine when you arrive in germany you don't have to go to the center here at the airport you can also go home 1st and then have yourself tested at your general practitioners practice also in some of the other testing centers that are put in place in germany. so you're at the frankfurt airport airports are of course just they're just one way to come into a country what about people coming over land by train how does that work. but more centers are being installed in germany not only at the airports also at central way way stations at the ports of course and also on the german autobahns at some of the you know large rest stops or service areas there centers are being installed or they will be installed and this is where you can get tested. all right carbo's and is with us from frankfurt airport thanks very much. now to some of
