been no new signs of life. emergency crews have struggled to contain a fire, smouldering deep within the wreckage. despite the yards rescue as aren't giving up . spurred on by knocking sounds reverberating from deep down in the rubble, our top priority now continues to be search and rescue. we continue to have hope. we're continuing to search. we're looking for people alive in the rebel. that is our priority and our teams have not stopped, but after so long without good news, many realize they weren't see their loved ones. again. a prayer vigil has been held for the dead with worship is praying for those still missing. public rodriguez says his mother and grandmother would likely asleep in their apartment when the 12 story blog came crushing down at times, it completes the station and then you know there's periods of disbelief where you

get a little calm just saying, well, the fit in up and it's impossible if it's a real nightmare building don't call out. they don't fall for the building to be at a point where it just collapses on itself without anybody knowing anything about or is very, that's the part that angers just how a high rise apartment block could collapse without warning is what miami authorities and now asking themselves but they may indeed have been a warning, a report from 3 years ago revealed major structural damage to the building federal investigators and now looking into the causes of the tragedy. and the mayor has announced an audit of old buildings over 40 years old. relative, continue the anguished wait for their loved ones to return. as their hopes dwindle . the demand for answers will only grow stronger. to the u. k. now, britain's help minister has resigned over

a breach of corona virus restrictions that he himself had implemented and infallibly enforced mad. hancock admitted breaking the rules after photos and a video emerge of him kissing and embracing and aid in his office. hancock had made regular appearances on television, telling people they must stick to the regulations. he thought he could ride out the controversy. hold on as britons top health official. but i've been to see the prime minister to resign as secretary for health and social care. it was just such a bad look, those images of his alleged affair. no matter for the moment. he's a married father of 3, but he's been telling the entire country to mask up social distance. steer clear for the sake of saving lives for britons massively overburdened hospitals and for its health infrastructure. the social justice in rules of that for everyone. and

that incredibly important and that that is serious. then he was caught locking lips in the office on cctv shared to a tabloid. so was was about candidates economy that and then to go on, break them for me and adultery as well. and i said this price waiting for the storm to die down was no longer an option. hancock conceded on saturday. i understand the enormous sacrifices that everybody in this country has made that you have made. and those of us who make these rules have gone to stick by them, and that's why i got to resign. hancock's replacement such a job, it is no, not for his health care background, but for his student as the case finance minister under boris johnson. until he resigned in february of 2020. during hancock's tenure, britain endured one of the world's highest official death tolls from the pandemic,

but also saw a strong vaccination roll out. that last may now be overshadowed simply by a feeling of betrayal. on friday, prime minister boys johnson refused to fire hancock, saying the matter was closed. we spoke earlier to d, w as troll or chelsea pill in london. and astro. why the minister ultimately reside resignation have come. there are many, particularly the opposition party main opposition party. you say the prime minister should have active but it's clear for the last couple of days that the health ministers role has just become untenable. not is, not only has this been personally extremely humiliating for the married father, 3 to be been captured in the sensational images in the sun newspaper, the leak cctv footage, which really is gripping the nation here. this is about so much more than that. this is about the fact that the man who,

who made the rules and as you said in your opening, that the man who preached the rules for months and months over and over again, telling the public care how to live their lives. then seemed to break the very same rules at the time that these images was taken, that was against coven guidance here in the u. k. to, to have an intimate being close to people outside of your own household. so it is indisputable here that this was a breach of not guidance, not just called so much upset amongst the public who made so many sacrifices, like so many around the world to say in line with the guidance. and the question was, can the man who had done not then go on to be trusted by the public this pandemic is far from over. he will have time to continue to make public count messages. the question is, will he be listened to? and yeah, the point to make is that this is just the latest in series of sandals to best set, the health minister nick text messages,

a legend from the prime minister accusing the health minister of making missteps is not being suitable for the roles. so a lot of questions about his conduct during this pandemic about this scandal will continue to follow him. the w's shoulder chilson pill reporting from london there. let's take a look down some other stories making headlines around the world. frances voting in a 2nd round of regional elections with politicians wondering how to get more people to the polls. the 1st round saw a thrashing for president manuel nicole's party and disappointment for the far right turn out among young people especially was a record glow. a search in cases of the delta krona virus very and in bangladesh as led to a rush to flee the capital darker ships at a river terminal have been packed with people returning to rural areas. before a new lockdown takes effect tomorrow, friday saw the country 2nd highest dental since the beginning of the pandemic.

12 german peacekeepers who were injured in a suicide attack and molly on friday have arrived back home. the germans were among 13 un soldiers heard when their base was targeted by a car bomb, north of the city of gal. the attack has triggered questions about germany's role in the un mission. in molly ambulances were at the ready in cologne. as the military transport came in to land on board, the 1st of the german soldiers injured in the attack, it was the worse to day tongue german soldiers taking part in the un peacekeeping mission. it's likely to have political consequences, not least for the 3 main candidates vying to leave germany after september. the election, social democrat, all are shots, things and need a decision to withdraw. troops from the west african country would be a mistake, thus commonly can't be that the moment you realize an operation is dangerous. you

just say we had no idea it would be this bad. we should be clear about this from the very beginning. this is an extremely dangerous operation, even if it isn't on a large scale and who could fill it with him, it was with germany carries out several military operations in molly, including training. but how actively should german forces be involved in the fight against islamist terrorists? conservative candidate army, unless it says that should depend on the precise context. vendors in an un mandate says germany to contribute to training, then that's fine. it doesn't always have to involve combat. in other places it could be that one decides straight away from combat will be involved and competence . the use of arms drove in combat situation is a contentious issue. the conservatives are in favor. the social democrats on decided the green have opposed it, but now say it might be necessary at time. the thing was monday, even to office,

was hired very closely at the question of whether to deploy drones, not from a position. it depends on the situation. for example, if soldiers on the ground otherwise with being entrapped off in the fight, the german soldiers injured in marley and now all in hospital in cobblins. the defense ministry says they are all in a stable condition. transitioning this fort now and in the year 2020 the lawyer through to the quarter finals, but they needed extra time to get there after scare against austria. a hard fought 90 minutes ended goal this before italy scored twice the extra time through federico kinsey. and the tail persona saucer lady managed one for austria, but they couldn't find a 2nd and fell in to one defeat. in the earlier match, denmark became the 1st team to make it through to the quarter finals after beating wales in the round of 16. striker caspar goldberg scored in both halves to set up

the victory before the danes added to more late in the game. the fuel afford neil when they will now face benevolence or the czech republic in the last 8. for more on euro 2020 action, i'm joined now by max merrill from d w. sports match. italy had looked in supreme form until that last game. what exactly happened? well yeah, off to denmark, cruise to victory, italy made it really difficult for themselves. and i think maybe part of that is because in the last group came, they made a changes they'd already qualified for the next round, maybe rest some legs. but that can upset the rhythm, especially in a tournament like this. germany had that happened to them when they were knocked out by italy having rested, plays in the previous game in the previous tournaments. 2012 rather. and, you know, it's a big chances but couldn't convert an austrian school. the 1st go which was disallowed . but then they showed patients and com showed they can play so called tournament football. and the 2 goals coming from 2 substitutes also shows they have that quality in depth in the squad. so, you know, they also conceded the 1st golden,

very late on, so they had a little bit fallible and they have to be better next round because they're going to face either belgium or portugal. that will be test. speaking of belgium, let's look ahead to the game today. we've got store study belgium against the rating champions, portugal heidi like belgium's chances. well, you have to argue that they probably have one of the best scores in the tournament and they have looked good so far. 3 consecutive wins, the striker ramelle khaki was in great form kevin bryan, who didn't start in the 1st 2 games due to a face injury is now back and expected to start. and he's really the key man for them. but i don't think they're as good as they were in 2018 when they became 3rd at the world cup, especially defensively, little bit aging. but let's hear from the defensive lives in young baton going. if you see, if you see a portugal should on the street, it's 99 percent. is ronaldo shirts. so he's he's the biggest player in the 3 of portugal. it's not belgium against the and all those belgium against portugal, and they have a lot of a lot of good players,

a lot of of quality players and we do as well. so we will be ready. portugal would like to think that they're more than just about we're not all but face. so when most people think about the portuguese team, they think rinaldo, yes, they do. and i mean on paper, they're not a one man team anymore. they, they boss, improve their squad since 2016 when they want it. so they were kind of my favorites going into the tournament. but so far i haven't looked cohesive, they've dropped through enough and under she had such a great season in the premier league playing for manchester, united a little bit more. steady in the last match. i wonder what the coach will be up to in this game. so hard to predict, just like netherlands check republic as well, coming up today that is max merrill d w. sports. thank you so much. i'll be watching tonight along with you. you're watching d. w. news coming up next. our doc films series looks at the troubled history of atomic energy. i'll have more headlines for you as always at the top of the hour

until then you can find much more news and analysis on our website. that's d, w dot com. and of course, you can follow us in all the social platforms, twitter, as well. i, mike local from me and the entire news team here in berlin. really appreciate your watching. we'll see right around the corner. the news, the news i was interested in the global economy. our portfolio g w business beyond. here's a closer look at the project. our mission. analyze the flight for market dominance . with

w business beyond on youtube. ah . right now, i'd like to bring you a different kind of story in its own way. it's just as dramatic as anything, a writer of the dream that has to do with a new power source. there's power source because the atom more than 70 years ago, the deadly power of the atomic bomb was re branded as the piece of nuclear energy model. we were the for fun of technology, glamorous. they were like inside a secret inside this magical world. and it was visible to government, it was clear to france that elevation was nuclear, nuclear fitness. everybody in the electric, the business has suddenly deciding, wow, we need nuclear power to back from the beginning. the peaceful actually was don't, but safety concern. and basically,

re clear that accidents serious by rising cost is economically so complex. so difficult, so tricky is kind of pulled under by zone dead weight. and back for that period of time, left school economy about for new in favor of greenpeace. to be honest with you today, nuclear power fighting to divide, it gets there is no nuclear renee sounds that's a very town fabricate. to find that i'd love haters and we'd know the changed our world. this is silly or green, who was in the aftermath of world war 2,

everyone was talking about the awesome and terrifying capabilities of nuclear fission. what really changed the climate was the speech given by president eisenhower in december, 953 at the united nations. which he called adams for peace timing bombs today. i'm more than 25 times as powerful as the weapons with what the atomic aides don't. it began with a lot of gloom and doom. and then he circles around and ends with this beautiful, happy tale of how atomic energy is going to bring blessings and health and prosperity to the world. this greatest of destructive forces can be developed into a great boon for the benefit of all mankind. the president's speech was immediately transmitted to 70 or overseas post by the u. s. i a press service before the communists could distort and misinterpret americans. proposals. adams for peace,

quickly became internationalized the propaganda around adams for peace included traveling exhibits where people could go and see little nucular artifacts, nice exhibits, would attract throngs of people around the world. the exhibit in west berlin was visited by a quarter of a 1000000 people, including thousands from the probably of the aah in india. prime minister, narrow came to view of the exhibit and share the experience with thousands of his countrymen, of all the countries that were targeted for adams for peace propaganda. none was more important to the american government than japan. on the 1st day of november, 1955 united states, adams, but the excavation opened in the united states and exhibits to japan. it promoted the work of cap and the scientists

and atomic energy work. adams for peas, helped sort of send this message that have a good guys. it's sort of help whitewash the bad odor created by hiroshi, nagasaki. the general public was being encouraged to look on the bright side, so to speak, by demonstrating the or was this enthusiasm, burgeoning all over the world? was it propaganda or was a policy? the answer is it was both. it was at the same time and effort to influence public perceptions to change the way people talked about nuclear energy. and the other hand, it was a serious genuine initiative to spread what they saw as the benefits of atomic power throughout the world. the potential of civil nuclear power suddenly was seen as a global beacon of progress. every country involve water to take part in the development of this. this new gleaming future of atomic energy tank off by nuclear power was

one of the technologies that distinguish you as a high tech country rather than an average wind some to ship if you were a young scientist or engineer graduating college in the 1950s in the united states of america, you were in a pretty sweet place. the scientists had stepped forward as the new wizards, the warlocks, the magicians were going to bring all of these wonderful things to the future. they were like inside the magical world. you know that the scientist, the study, this were really fascinating people and they were part of this very, very elite group of special people. the british set up the 1st civil nuclear plant had called her whole in the u. k. a prep for such a very important event, the queen came to perform the ceremony of the big switch on a definite lead. and the 2nd industrial revolution has been taken by the british

government was triumphant as being the 1st nation to launch a nuclear power program breton saw itself as the pioneer of nuclear power. we were the 1st where the nuclear power station and our technology lead the world, but others weren't far behind. france will begin producing nuclear energy taken place as one of the great atomic nations alongside the united states. the u. s. s. r and english. today. we're going to going to tell you when the goal came to power after world war 2 separate, main concern went to restore frances former glory as a world power on don't to south 945 to go find an official order to create the atomic energy commission to meet but frances, react as were not only for producing electricity. the 1st nuclear power site in france was presented as a prototype for electricity generation. and that was what all the fanfare was about

. what he did when he will. now the public can see what has made france a player and the industrial utilization of the ad. in reality, and from the very beginning, the market reactors were designed to optimize the production of weapons grade. plutonium pulled whole wasn't a power reactor, its purpose was to produce weapons, grade plutonium material. the electricity was a useful by products. and in fact, that dial was not connected to react to a toll. ah, governments were not the only ones spinning opposed to this message. private nuclear companies were getting in to the general electric was really instrumental and then they did a lot of work. they had a comic book, they had film strips, and it was all done with bright colors with exciting little characters. let's start by meeting a leading authority on the subject. doctor adam the public news

galvanized by the new atomic power station springing up. the reactor actually became tourist attractions in and of themselves. at my school, there was a lookout point where tourists could go and view models of the reactor and see the whole site. but i felt the thrill quite so much inside the i felt proud of franko when i look back, i think, yeah, i would say, i think that we found we were the full fund of technology. it wasn't known the tribe or what country as a home was raising their head out and saying, we can make it 50 is gone, vice insane. even had a lot of hair and one of my jobs was to test materials for bolts defects and used to climb inside the reactor,

building main structure inside the ducks and everything and test all of the wells looking rather like a super version of a plastic macintosh is unusual designed for workers that britain's atomic blood. once you're inside m, as in between 5 and all that remains to pump in compressed as to where i can breathe easily. these things start like a mitchell in man with special clothing, with an umbilical code supplying a, actually my body sorting and breathing and sized throat microphones and name climb through every part of react when the boilers, cetera. we will not talk to because people from coal plants used to come to us and said, my is in a clean, is it a wonderful clean environment you live in? i could psyche to an old coal thought pass station with doing exactly what tony and i used to come out black ah, across the atlantic american utility companies were able to invest in atomic energy . ah, it seems like there was no risk in building

a nuclear power plant because the price was low and the vendors, westinghouse, and general electric guarantees that price and then comes the gold rush, where everybody in the electric utility business is suddenly deciding while we need nuclear power to not everyone shared that enthusiasm. i bought a g o o d g there was a plan to build a reactor to digger bay. california. protests 1st started from local people who were just concerned about the view. but then people began to do a certain amount of homework, and they began to get concerned by radioactivity released from the plant in normal operation. there was also more particularly the possibility of an accident involving a nuclear plant, which might release a lot more radioactivity. the public didn't in fact really know that there or had

already been a number of significant industrial accidents in nuclear installations in canada, in switzerland, in the us. and in the u. k. there was a very big fire with scale. i've never told, i discovered when i went to japan, i was talking to the japanese ministry said to me, how did, how are you getting on with it? it was a constant. and i said to my officials, what we didn't want to bother you minister. but eager bay actually persuaded the local our tricity company to abandon the plant. and this was the 1st time that a nuclear proposal of this kind had actually failed because of opposition by the public. and it was going to be the 1st of many, i remember when i 1st read constraints. as a minister, i was told that they had a policy of 2002002000 nuclear power station by the year 2000. but the local

opposition was so strong that they couldn't build them. and there were some nuclear scientists and engineers who help this opposition. we had to marvellous general electric engineers who quit and became whistleblowers. i testified on the quality assurance program that the quality assurance on a toaster is greater than that for the instruments that control a nuclear power plant. on the other hand, there was inadvertent support the very pro nuclear director of the oak ridge, national lab, alvin weinberg always harboured concerns. he thought that there shouldn't be one nuclear plant here in one nuclear plant there that it would be better. we had 6 in one nuclear reservation so that you could use what he called the small number of very competent scientists and engineers to manage it.

just as the opposition was growing, stronger, global events suddenly made nuclear power. look a lot more appealing in 1900. 73. the big middle east producers cut off oil shipments. 2 major consuming countries on the embargo was lifted. the price of foreign oil had jumped from $3.00 to $12.00 a barrel, 4 times higher than before. this nation in 1980 can have all the energy we need. now, don't write an auditorium on this, you're really going to attach it from there. because it scares the nope, you're out. i think the bach, i think of the possibility that what i'm going to blow up my house and san clemente is just miles from the southern california edison company. the nuclear power plant . it's safe. it produces good power. it's clean up and the united states, which 1st found the secret of the am, is buying where it ought to be. and the develop a nuclear power. nixon proposed

a huge expansion of nuclear power in the name of getting america out from under the boot of opec. but even with nixon support, there was one pressing problems, the cost of every reactor and the nuclear power plant surrounding it. those costs were doubling every 2 years doubled and then it doubled again. i can tell you, let me see because when the price of oil quadrupled, it was quite a shock. look at their costs. 68 percent of our electricity came from oil. 30 digital horror we had, i think the money crisis began. it became clear to france that it salvation was nuclear. it didn't nuclear new wisely or power, or electricity. lily pcp luisel the only area where you could easily replace oil electricity because in 19.
