he had the strength to walk but others like the 1st man to be freed were too weak to stand. boreholes with their lifelines vital supplies including food water and medicine were lowered to the miners a psychologist also provided support responders made headway on sunday after major blockages suddenly fell to the bottom of the shaft the rescue operation happen faster than expected after freeing all the trapped miners we were able to locate we will now focus on searching for the other missing miners the explosion happened in an air ventilator shaft on january 10th on sunday rescuers were able to reach a man trapped alone 630 meters underground the others one of whom died were found at 540 meters 10 more people remain unaccounted

for life detectors are being sent down to locate them managers at the mine have been detained for failing to report the blast for more than 24 hours it's a dangerous line of work in china nearly $600.00 mining related deaths were reported last year alone. correspondent robin chrisma joins me from beijing now with more fabien what do we know about the condition of the miners who have been rescued. well the 1st miner who was rescued is in a very weak condition and i'm quoting the officials here he said there was no communication with him no extra food so actually it's a miracle that he survived and among the other 10 rescue workers they were in the group and 9 of them supposed to be in a relatively stable and good health condition because they were also sent additional even requested on their last day underground sausage meat section to

a really careful because the rescue team established a communication with them but one of those 10 miners he is supposed to suffer in injury but i don't know how severe this injury is. something we understand there are still 10 manas who are unaccounted for do we know what hope there is for these miners who are still on the ground. well yes hope but a little hope they are believed to be in the so-called 6 central section of the mine but the rescue team does not it's not sure if they are really there and they are also not sure until what time they can reach this section of the mine so i mean time is running out they are trapped there since the 10s of general and yes i would say the chance of survival are getting. from being one of the chinese authorities saying moving on from the rescue operation one of the attorneys or 30 saying about the cause of the accident and indeed the response to it from the mining company.

well i mean they're criticizing the mining company because they have not reported the incident for almost 30 hours it's a big scandal but that's actually happening quite often because usually those companies they will try to solve those things by their own and the big problem is that we don't really know how this happened because our reporting here is quite controlled by the state they usually hand out orders on how to report it and whether to report it and this explosion the reason why. this whole tragedy happened is unexplained for so we don't really know why i think in beijing thank you so much . over the same portugal are going to the polls to elect a new president today despite a deepening coronavirus crisis in the country incumbent celebre below d'souza is regarded as the clear front runner election organizers for their part of increase the number of polling stations and allowed for early voting to avoid of

a crowding at the ballot box portugal is battling the worst coronavirus in fiction right in the world the 7 day incidents right is 700 and $85.00 that's more than double that of the u.k. and the u.s. and 7 times that of germany's. my correspondent philip schultz joins us now from lisbon yan philip why are the numbers so high now in portugal what went wrong. it's apparently mainly due to a new variant of the corona virus coming from the united kingdom at least in the beginning portuguese government was quite slow in reacting to the new challenge even though we know by know that it's more contagious and probably even more deadly than older forms of the virus so this is the main reason why. infection numbers so high you're at the moment. given what we know that it's more

deadly and more infectious and the infection right is running out of control given that situation why have the authorities detained in person voting necessary rather than miley. that's a question that a lot of work to spend so at the moment i'll start by showing that 2 clerks of all portuguese would have preferred a different form of election or a postponement of the elections about to be fair there was a chance of early voting and voting and there were any volunteers going from door to door to make sure that the most vulnerable groups can cast their ballot but this applies to probably only 200250000 portuguese and now a lot of legal experts that stress that the constitution doesn't really allow big art changes or even a postponement of the procedure of the election so the government was in a very difficult situation here what is the government been doing to get this

situation under control. like concerning the elections there are a lot of extra measures in place of course the usual measure of social distancing everybody has. a pen and doesn't share the pain with anybody else and of course a lot of us any ties us everywhere regarding the situation in the old country. it's basically stricter and stricter lockdown measureless by the day it started in the general area with a lockdown. at 1st school remained open and this was actually criticized by the government changed its mind and also closed schools at the very last minute on friday so we have really. no complete lockdown here in portugal at the moment except of course for the possibility to go to the polling stations today.
