a mass rally in. the near term abortions we'll bring you the latest from the polish. welcome to the program. strong earthquake has struck in the june and see causing extensive damage in greece and turkey. at least 12 people dead and more than $600.00 injured the trans struck off the gene coast with the epicenter just north of the greek island of sandals the quake of course several buildings to collapse in the turkish resort city of izmir rescue efforts are ongoing. i believe this woman was almost buried alive i don't know how rescue workers are racing to free her from the rubble of a collapsed building one of many that came crashing down in this turkish resort

city on friday. i thought the ground had shattered you can think in that moment all you can do is try to get out everything was collapsing around us but luckily our building stayed intact but we were really panicked and managed to get out at the last minute. the earth shook for at least 25 seconds according to some witnesses after the quake struck deep in the ground beneath a tree in saying. it was followed by 67 aftershocks with tremors felt as far away as athens and bogey area. i was in my shop talking with someone it felt like we were on

a road everything started shaking while * i was watching our building shaking i saw this building collapse and. a small scale tsunami flooded the streets in some districts sending debris inland and causing further damage. the greek island of some us also has suffered casualties damage and flooding with the foreign leaders of both nations pledging to help one another. seismologists have warned that potentially powerful aftershocks should be expected for several weeks to come. straight to turkey venditti correspondent dorian jones joins us from istanbul welcome dorian let's start with is me then what's the situation than now. city's still kind to come to grips with this devastating earthquake is one most

powerful tool struck turkey in recent years and the effects were amplified by its long duration which violently struck struck many of the buildings all across the city sending millions of people into the streets in panic and on top of that there's many tsunami that inundated coastal parts of the city added to the problems and fear. is near the city's mayor. said that 17 buildings have completely collapsed and rescue efforts are now going on to try and recover any survivors in them what is the latest from the rescue during. the speaker a rescue workers are now trying to pick carefully frew the rubble of the collapsed building buildings this is an extremely painstakingly and dangerous job you have to move very slowly at preventing the risk of further collapses on top of that the city's been hit by dozens and dozens of aftershocks which only adds to the danger

this is going to be a long painstaking job expected to last many hours possibly even days but there have been some. rays of hope with some survivors already being recovered from the rubble i see. the search continues through the night. oh absolutely in fact intensifying as we speak rescue workers from across the country have been sent to help with those efforts the turkish army have also been deployed to to those rescue workers. this effort now is in many ways a race against time as well because the longer it goes on the less chance you have of finding people alive i mean efforts are being continued to be redoubled and that will carry on through the night and in the coming days ahead now this is a region that is prone to quakes. no absolutely the whole of turkey is prone to powerful devastating quakes in fact in

1909 just outside stamboul the provincial city of his mit was hit by a devastating quake which claimed over 17000 lives again the sight of clapped buildings apartment blocks strewn city and again we're seeing again fall in collapsed building so turkey does have this experience of having to live under the shadow of of deadly quakes but it also has allowed turkey to develop a very large pool of expertise in rescue operations and turkey is now drawing on that expertise as we speak and all this while the world is in the grip of a pandemic how has that complicated matters. well that certainly is another factor given the fact now that you have hundreds of thousands of people on the streets finding some kinds of refuge and being congregated together in large numbers turkey is in the grip of a covert upsurge and this will only add to the concerns of that epidemic but for now at these people are just trying to find some safe place to spend the night

thank you for that story in jones in. not to france where police have arrested a 2nd suspect in connection with thursday's knife attack in east investigators believe a man was in contact with the assailant who killed 3 people at the city's not to don basilica the 3rd islamist attack in france in 2 months the country's interior minister says france is being targeted for its staunch defense of free expression and secularism and warned that more such attacks on french soil are likely. nice in mourning. for some the shock and pain of thursday's attack is difficult to bear. well there what that's because he makes me really sad because i'm from nice work 50 meters down the road could have been my mother my aunt we're dealing with crazy

people and want to impose their awful rules on us you know very well it isn't leisure. that. we need to come together to say this isn't possible we want peace but we can't continue like this this is just not acceptable. about. the 3 victims among them church worker vanstone look here are the latest in an ever growing list of people murdered in islam is to tax on french soil. responded by increasing police numbers while the foreign minister sent a message to french citizens worldwide. the threat is also very serious or brought messages of hate online can quickly turn into real violence and we've decided to take all the necessary measures to ensure

the security of our interests and our ex-pats. we've given instructions to our ambassadors to reinforce security measures with the security. of french prosecutors believe the suspect is a chuen asean national who arrived in the e.u. in september via the italian island of lampedusa his family said he never showed signs of extremism police are warning citizens to be extra vigilant these are desperate times for a country in lockdown due to the pandemic for some it's their faith whatever it may be that's getting them through. well hear me from v.w. arabic has been looking into this welcome to the studio a dream. is france's muslim population facing a backlash because of these attacks well basically after these attacks and the states the action you can see the approximately more than 5000000 french muslim

citizens they have to justify themselves now and they are in the heart of the heated debate debate again it's like this often i spoke with some of them yesterday basically a survey and some of them they they told me in the muslim community that they have a big fear of now it's not only that the situation it would be triggered more and the flood of violence would be directed more from the islamists but also they might be a violence from the side rightwing basically some most also have been attacked in france because because of these of these islamist attacks and the question now that some of them that are asking is it really islam what is it really like a social phenomenon can we say that the slum is motivating that had to cause them or is it a social issue that the government and french president in one knuckle should really look deeply into it and start solving the problems of the young muslims that the in strength and in france and the i've basically french citizens ok so this is

the main question just so we've actually got a sort of that short term problem and the longer term problem that there's the short term problem of this string of attacks that were essentially that we suspect were motivated because of the depictions of the prophet and also the long term. idea of integrating. muslims into french society let's let's start with the the attacks because of the things like that the shall have to it can you have on the one side a french a constitution a french society that says we can criticize anything this is a secular country we can criticize anything doesn't matter who you are or what religion you are and we have a religion. the adherence to a religion who say no you cannot you can do all of that but you cannot show pictures of the prophet muhammad come to one society contain these to accommodate these 2 viewpoints it needs a lot of forth from both sides for example from the state it should be and

acknowledgement that for example muslim or french muslim citizens the are french citizens and also french muslim issues are french issues islam is a part of the society basically and to know there is no o'clock and for this on the other side also when you take a look at the some some of them not all are the want to like put everyone in one basket but for some french muslim citizens they also they should understand that secularism doesn't mean that they they're going to lose their faith and the among the dead not muslim anymore this debate is really deep and it's very complicated and also many many a tent for dialogue between both sides it's been for 2 decades now in france and till now there is no solution for that that's why there are many questions today is it really enough all the efforts that have been beit between the muslim community and also the french government is it's really about religion and about secularism

and about that rules and regulations and the constitution and france or is it more than this is is there like political benefits behind it there are so many questions and i think they should be addressed in this in this period of time because that is sensitive. so that we thank you very interesting idea matter he did have an r.v. . the german president from delta steinmeyer has condemned the attack in nice saying that france and europe must stand up to acts of brutality in an exclusive interview with d w the president asked about the need for to the president spoke about the need for tolerance the pandemic the u.s. politics were also on the agenda. many issues have been on the plates of german president steinmeyer of late following the recent suspected terror attack in nice france where 3 people were killed steinmeier says his thoughts are with the victims' families but he also wants the united stance from europe after such

a brutal attack and of course our thoughts are above all with the relatives who have our sympathy but i believe what we must do know in europe not just in france is to stand up to this act of. the islamist motives behind this in funding and you know our democratic societies above all we should not base the response of the state on a cause determined by hate. and some. parts of acceptance and mutual respect are a part of our society and so standing up to such acts of brutal violence and islam is motives is one thing but the other is to try to maintain the openness of our society that's the other challenge in the halls for. the coronavirus pandemic another issue at the top of the president's agenda germany has just approved

a new partial lockdown to try to curb a record spike of calls in $1000.00 cases discontent with measures has also been on the rise with thousands protesting on the streets germany's president acknowledges that the restrictions are especially hard but he says the critics abrasive attitude worries him he could take built schaffel and criticism is getting harsher and more aggressive especially when it comes from people who are spreading conspiracy theories. but the number of people who consider the restrictions to be correct are demanding stricter measures is currently growing faster than the number of projects . they could take in this respect it's not so much the number. does that worry me the abrasiveness of the argument. on the upcoming elections in the us steinmeyer says the decision on who the next president will be lies with the american people what he would like to see is a return to

a more fruitful cooperation between the u.s. and germany as this. election in the us so november 3rd will have a global impact and side that off the words regardless of who wins the united states will again develop the ability to have a shared idea about the future of their country and they can minds. and that is one thing and what is important for us as europeans is also true understanding that european project with european integration and cooperation is invested in the transatlantic relationship this is not in the case recently but i hope that a new understanding for europe will grow again. it may take weeks or even months to see whether steinmeyer swish will be fulfilled for the u.s.

with the election still the focal point and the coronavirus pandemic in full swing europe may not be a priority. for take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world at least 6 people have died and dozens more are missing after heavy rains triggered a landslide in el salvador the president has deployed the military to assist the search and rescue operation. belgium is to further tighten its lockdown rules for monday as it struggles with the use highest corona virus infection rate non-essential shops will close and they'll be strict limits on search and contacts authorities are warning the health system is on the verge of collapse. new zealand has voted to give terminally ill adults who are experiencing unbearable suffering the choice to and their own lives in the 2 thirds of voters in a referendum back to assisted dying for people with less than 6 months to live provided to doctors approved. tanzania's president john mark

a 3rd term but then his chosen successor died and he changed his mind. several dozen people have been killed in protests against the president since august and the opposition parties are calling for a boycott and acts of civil disobedience they say other than what the president is violating the constitution by seeking a 3rd term and they say this election is nothing more than a farce. by asia has been at the forefront of these protests with his friends he's preparing to take to the streets hoping there is still a way to prevent the elections from taking place. and raids and call on the people outside protest peacefully because we are in a contrary where we have the right. an underground meeting since

the un to what tara protests in august gathering in public has been forbidden they must hide now they say to organize before authorities stop their plants by he has been fighting for human rights and democracy for as long as he can remember he says . we do not want the selection of the person that has already had 2 terms of office because only payments to the sunni must now girl and a new person most common. most activists like i have been arrested in the run up to the auctions but he wants to continue. see. if you're scared you have over the last believe by this believe we know when we leave in the morning we are lucky if we return home in the evening. shortly after his interview we contrary to his friends tell us he's been arrested.

the number of have nots is growing rapidly in ivory coast almost half of the population tries to cope below the poverty line yet here in the suburbs of abidjan there is still support for the current president people simply refer to as. i like the fact that with him there i speak i don't want another war i only want peace. as one person thanks to the people can drive on these tariffs. and most people simply want the election to be over without violence under a cohen an observed the situation from a neutral perspective he says yet he too is concerned to meet me in his office or at home and fear is the problem for development he says he's. going to press on i don't know how many people will agree to talk to you more and more there is

a kind of mark on some every and that takes its toll. that intellectuals journalists people who are free like me are speaking out less and less because they are afraid. but unfortunately a democracy can't be built on fear. in democracy. i've longed for a new start in reconciliation but with the volatility there is now the country might go back to the very beginning of its unresolved problems. this is the w.'s life from berlin still to come we had to cairo to catch up with the start of women's football who's taking a shot at coaching them at. first to poland where abortion rights activists have converged in the capital warsaw after a week of mass demonstrations as you can see from these images there was a heavy police presence is processed as defiant coronavirus restrictions to take to

the streets they're angry about last week's court decision which bans abortions in cases where the fetus has congenital defects leaving poland with a near total ban on terminations women in the country can now only legally terminate a pregnancy in case of rape or incest or if their lives are endangered. let's join correspondent caught in the polish capital warsaw welcome livia 8 days of protests now what do demonstrators hope to achieve. well they don't really have a very key demand so for 8 days now we see them using very strong language to basically tell the ruling party law and justice to leaf however the protests face part has published some demands earlier this week they were pretty broad though so one of them is for example to implement human rights again in poland another is to dismiss the government and another is to have independent courts again. so now that

the court has has actually passed this ruling just does that issue and then or is there more to come. so the prime minister much more obvious key said today that he would like to implement a madman's to the abortion law as soon as possible basically the court's ruling is not legal guiding yet it will be binding at the moment it will be published and when it's published it's not necessary to change the law or to introducing you all but by changing the law or by implementing an amendment that can be more specific ation on when abortion is legal or illegal. right so that this is your house and house and it's not going to go away soon i'm now this this protest has happened despite government appeals for people to stay at home because of the coronavirus pandemic what a protest to saying about that. so the poet purchases mostly say that

the government has provoked them to go to the streets so it's not their fault it's the government's fault to create chaos that's what they say like this and times like these and you can see that people are not comfortable in the streets everyone is wearing masks but obviously there's a lot of people and contact is to stocks to be avoided. i do see is generally a contentious issue there in poland or something a problem to this latest change. i'm sorry what what prompted this court action about abortion. rights so basically this is how it's and to present for all the summer the government coalition had a lot of struggle and it is seen as a political decision the court as we said before is not really considered independent anymore and it's seen as as basically

a present for the idea lodges in the government the very far right idea largest right a living of course us in warsaw thank you so much for the whole woman in egypt is blazing a trail in men's football i fires ahead is making her mark as a coach at the club gives her a city more widely known as the home of the pyramids perhaps to be famous for its groundbreaking for altie. is a modern icon in a city known for the ancient and egyptian men's football beast goldie i we don't the lead pyramid but one thing makes them stand out there trailblazing coach. l.a. awful oh well 1st it was hard because boys aren't used to having a girl coach them up the little omar thornton. it's often said that leaders must command rather than demand respect haida c.v. should be enough to ensure that she's

a former national team captain and the 1st egyptian coach male or female to attain the premier skills coaching certification from the english premier league. they think that because a woman is training them they don't have to take it seriously but then they realize that they will learn something and develop their skills. successful in this great football experiment which surely encourage more women to give it a shot. as if you're up to date so i will well news of the top of the hour i walk you through the day's events in the day in just a month. the
