8:01 pm
ah, i'm fairly welcome to the show. hopes are dwindling, then any more survivors will be found in the rubble of collapse. apartment complex and florida reports are emerging about an engineer warning of major structural damage to the building 3 years ago. so far, officials have confirmed for deaths, but nearly 160 people are still missing. a makeshift memorial has sprung up in the sub at the side to the scores of people engulfed in the rubble of the collapse department block. search and rescue teams are working around the clock, probing the way agonizingly slowly through the shifting mountain of debris. fire, burning deep beneath the rubble is complicating if i far as deeply
8:02 pm
seated deeply rooted onto the structure. so you've seen it in and out, and unfortunately we keep having flare up so that and it's, it's not accessible. so those, those are the difficulties. that's another challenge that we're encountering. and, and, you know, we're constantly going in aggressively trying to get as close as we can to, to extinguish that bar open a fortune we haven't been able to get that extend was 100 per 2nd, but rescues and the people of surf side refuse to give up hope full speed ahead on search and rescue and you asked why do we have hope? we have hope because that's what our search and rescue team tells us. that they have hope through and as long as they can do that. and as long as they have encouraging signs, like the knocking sound that they've heard, then we will continue volunteers at the south side, community center giving what help they can to survivors. as the 10th wait for news of loved ones continues,
8:03 pm
people are starting to demand answers. the new york times is reporting that an engineering assessment in 2016 detailed structural failures in the building. the building managers were still shaping plans for a repair project that was set to get underway. quote soon, but those trapped under the rubble. it was not soon enough. well, joining us now on the phone as audra, as is in many, he's the director of the florida international university school of construction. we can't see him right now, but he is actually sending next to this collapse building in miami. dr. me, i'm going to start with what is perhaps the most obvious question. how could something like this happen? this is the one of those, you know, the accident that happens. the do not know exactly what the cause or causes. but this is a day number 3. so more information is becoming available, but it's gonna take probably months, maybe yes,
8:04 pm
to put the pieces together. and so i, so i didn't find the main cause or cause at this point, you know, you have lots of information becoming available by all probably what the investigators onset end up taking all those into accounts. but you said it right now it's, it's pretty much what to say that exactly what the cause of cause. we heard in the report just now that engineers raised concerns about major structural damages on the building years ago. does that mean in your opinion, that the collapse could have been prevented? that's one piece of information that has become available. i have not read that report. very detailed, but i have been part of it. so that particular reports, the part of the diagram was related to the swimming pool, but i do not know exactly where the swimming pool is located with respect to the
8:05 pm
buildings. again, that's just a one piece of information. there are some other pieces of information that the study was conducted. few years ago, the gong, the cycling has been reports of the many heavy construction materials stored on the roof of the building. that has been report that has been happening. engineers have reported that the cracking in the basement and so on. so these are all different factors that you have to take a look at it. of course they can contribute, but you cannot at this point say any one of them were the main reason for, for this class. i was the actor odd as ina, meaning the director of the florida international university school of construction . speaking to us earlier to britain now where the health minister has resigned over an affair with a colleague,
8:06 pm
mike hancock admitted breaking his own cobra 19 rules by kissing and embracing an aide in his office of scandal and arranged fellow government ministers. millions of britons who endured months of lockdown at the height of the pandemic were also angered. hancock has made regular appearances on television, telling people the month, stick to the rule. all charlotte tells them phil is in london following this breaking story for us. charlotte just yesterday, prime minister wars johnson refused to fire hancock, saying the matter was quote, closed. so why did he end up resigning? well, alternately, there has been an enormous amount of clash from the biggest problem. the british public in response to this story is not the issue, particularly whether that is of course, a scandal that has gripped the nation. but it's the fact that the man who made the
8:07 pm
rules, who repeatedly since the pandemic began, has been on television preaching the rule, has now been found to her, broken, those very same rules at the time. that those images all the kids, which so many people now have, have seen 2 dots, took place. the rules one that you once meant have intimate contacts with somebody outside your household. so it seems pretty clear here that the fact that the women in question and aids of the health minister wasn't in his household, it was a breach of guidance. and it simply seemed, made his role as health minister, untenable questions indeed were being off about how he could in future all the british public to make the sacrifices. indeed, this pandemic isn't over when he himself wasn't able to stick to the rules. and indeed this wasn't the issue that blighted the health minister in recent
8:08 pm
weeks and months. he has been attacked by a former top government adviser. a who said that he made multiple mistakes during the course of the pandemic that been leaks text messages, apparently from the prime minister himself questioning the health ministers ability to do the role to this really wants the, the final straw and what's in a very difficult few months for him, after a meeting with the prime minister, he did post a message to britain's on twitter. we'll get back to you in a 2nd, but let's quickly listen to what he had to say. i understand the enormous sacrifices that everybody in this country has made but you have made and those of us who make these rules have got to stick by them. and that's why i've got to resign very apologetic. matt hancock there. charlotte, he was of course, at the forefront of the you case, corona virus response. what does it mean for the country to lose its health
8:09 pm
secretary? i mean, a new surge of infections. well, that's exactly the point. cases have been going up again, as i said, the pandemic is far from over in the you'd have to just look at the day or the last few days that the latest data, for example, is 18270 people tested positive across the u. k, in a day that's been a 50 percent increase in cases over the last week alone. and that's due to the spread of the delta barrier, which we know is, is more transmissible. so this is a very difficult time for the u. k. to, to news, to figure out who was so prominent in the fight against coven 19 he will of course, have to be replaced very quickly. but the fact is that this scandal had reached a level the public was so insulted. i think it's better to say by the action of the health minister here that he's simply could not continue in the role charlotte
8:10 pm

8:17 pm
ah there's little left of the moria refugee camp, unless both more than 12000 people lived here for a while in and around the camp until that burned down in september of 2020 sometime displayed me denied that the legislature for years. and maria, he doesn't like looking back on a time that was difficult for him, but it was, was filmed the raging blades with a cell phone. he was able to get to safety and time the he's returned to
8:18 pm
moria to see if you can find traces of his life here. but at 1st all he picks up our medical records from former camp occupants. his shot dog should know. now no control of your need. yes. before he fled, ploy was also tortured in his home country. cameroon. he says he didn't get any medical help in moria, and then there was the violence. you weren't even safe in your own tent. they came to flesh my food after 5 and you see i have some scratches in my body. the man who fought with him for with him, we didn't know so until i get my phone. so then he finds the spot
8:19 pm
where he used to bed down. this is mike, cough i remember this is my golf. i. i got it forms panels. so yvonne gallo spanners is probably the best known football coach on less boss and pause savior. go, thanks to spine, he's no longer living in one of the camps. but as a member of the elite co soccer team, a local island squad just missed promotion to greece, a 2nd leak this year. that success is thanks to the new team members. 3 young refugees from africa and spinal cord. not everyone approves of his efforts to help refugees on the island walk. some greek parents have already taken their children off a spinal so youth teams. it was a problem, but i decide okay,
8:20 pm
doesn't matter. i'm doing. i'm also a physical educator, so i have to teach people not only for sports, but also for me have your work for values for all these things. spinal c major, soccer, talent, and poor. that would make a professional career possible. but until he's made it in the big league and all the training sessions with son often if he can do the fire at moria spinal in his protege have been inseparable. when the coach saw smoke rising over the island, he went to look for paul. immediately. i went back with my guy, took on all the ill, his things, and also a bicycle in mike. and i said to him again because police was around,
8:21 pm
i said to him, go and they have so then they were waiting for you to kill him. and after some hours, again, we did after training today, all doesn't need to get a ride back to a refugee camp from one of his teammates. now he lives with other players in this former hotel. never again will we have to cope with insect and hours of waiting for food. instead, he's got a full meal plan and a proper bed because it made it into a support program for gifted athletes. boy says he has sponsors and got to think. sure this is my bible. like it, i see my name, younger bull on it. this is my email. this is my with the i go, the bible. the bible is the only thing he has left after a month, long odyssey to escape political violence and his homeland,
8:22 pm
short my burial site in front of me was like a touch heart between i is too bad. so bad for me. and on top of what i did was helps him forget and so to soccer mfc cosmos, as the name of the refugee team, the young people come from the car to tape the refugee camp twice a week for practice. for the mostly unaccompanied miners. it's one of the few opportunities to get out of the camp. they say conditions and cut a tape are better than they were in moria, but they are still severely lacking. they can take years for an asylum claim to be processed in greece. the youngsters know that they can get a residence permit increase more quickly if they're successful with soccer ball has showed them the way since he has begun playing and
8:23 pm
a thirdly team and started working as an assistant coach for cosmos. he's become an example. paul really is unhappy that the africans and africans wait separately before practice. much of course, most does more than contribute to understanding among the refugees. i know i know i know the sport should also promote sympathy among greeks for the frequently traumatized foreigners. no, i know, i know we can give them here. we can change their behaviors so we can make them better, better be the best ones. so when they're in the society in the community, it will be very easy for them to speak with local people and for local people to check to see that they are the same with us. they're not different again,
8:24 pm
a new players introducing himself to spinal. today, he too is fled from cameras in here. i don't know if you played before you entered in mine. come on, but he's here. he's allowed to join in the end response says you have to turn someone away. nobody today barnison boiler. having the youngsters focus on conditioning, all of them are working as hard as they can because the president of the thirdly team illegal has said he be there. let's get the read these. a businessman was hoping to make good deals with possible tre destinations for talented players, so we get the best. but today he doesn't have anything with him. that would mean a speedy escape from life in a refuge account. maybe for a residential program. if we are kind of like a who's a registered player can play anywhere in greece anywhere. you know, if he's good enough to play someone, identify, select somebody 3 to go play anywhere you want. so that's,
8:25 pm
that's the process we try to help as much as we can. the reality is there's only a small number of players that through yet another shadow in the dreams of the cost . most players always made it for the moment. last post is only supposed to be a stop along the way. he's dreaming of playing for a professional club in a major european city, like in germany or france. poor like going to the early cross cafe and people like seeing him there. but he's also experienced racism agreement that you push maybe a good to a coffee shop. this huge is done in a way like that. you find out why they're going. i want to see they're leaving. ok. the refugee controversy unless versus continuing. the european union is planning a new center to take them in,
8:26 pm
but most of the locals are opposed to it. we were against the new candidate. so we don't want everyone coming in the was, i didn't want to look at it. you know, we don't have any factories will work. what am i supposed to do here? if the germans have too much money and they should take them in and they will be here post become used to the fact that not all greeks like to see him playing soccer. and at some moment he misses his family. i think that it was really painful when he visited a training camp with an american player. came on visit him. like i started crying, know i look at how they were like luckily for poor and the other soccer players. unless both they still have spawn us. he's
8:27 pm
tirelessly working on their behalf. even the european soccer association us has in the meantime began to support fc cosmos. in 2015 spinal won the greek championship with a youth team from the a g and islands. there was talk of making him the coach of the national youth team, but it didn't happen. maybe because he was known as the refugee coach. meanwhile, the 55 year old says he wouldn't trade his work with the youngsters from the camps with any other job. bed least 3 races for me and my wife and they brought it here. so as you can see, after 2 years and now we summit, we have the city here and we saw people growing. we saw people changing, we saw people laughing and when they are coming here, kids and in every age they are very
8:28 pm
angry. so and every day by day we are looking them smiling, working, talking with the others. and this is nice, this nice un, ah, a former player, it's still there for his voice, even after he sent them on to other clubs in greece, or they've moved on to other places in europe. they don't forget him. even if the coach couldn't make all their dreams come true, he's brought humanity back to the soccer pitch on the refugee island of let me ah,
