complete 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 collapse. they don't fall. so for the building to be at a point where it just collapses on itself, without anybody knowing anything about it is very, that's the part that angers just how 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 all 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.

i'm joined now by the w correspondence stuff, and simon's in washington, who is of course, following the story very closely for us on as we hear, the top priority continues to be search and rescue. 4 days after the collapse and with a fire burning and the debris, is there really still hope to find people alive? yes, and i think it has to be. there's other in other incidents in haiti, bangladesh, pakistan size and countries where as collapses like this happened, there were people found for whatever reason, days after more days, 5678 days after the building collapse. now every circumstances of course, different, different and very, very unique. so we got to be really, really careful. but always days old families have $450.00 plus people. hello 66 to be exact. still on account for all those families, hold out hope and they should hope is what, what drives the fire fighters?

the rescue workers. the specialists who now arrived from mexico and israel to help miami day, the fire fighters who are working on the scene from the county. so all those people are motivated by hope to keep this up a search and rescue mission. there wasn't much rescue as of late and there's still a lot of search now. of course, with increasing time, it doesn't look very promising increasingly promising that the hopes of so many families and loved ones will be answered positively. we now know that there were warnings about major structural damage in the building already 3 years ago, but do we know why nothing was done? i found it now we don't know. and a little bit of the caution with the major this consulting firm engineering consulting firm, who inspect that this building in 2018 filed the report it was given to the

homeowners association. the people who manage and the building. and we don't know what they have done ever since. however, there was a statement from the homeowners association legal council that all the building passed all inspections up to date. now, this company, nevertheless, found in 2018 cracks in the, in the concrete. now what does that do? a crack in the concrete can be a big one, a very significant one or small one. it doesn't matter when even a lot of small ones that has an impact, apparently saying as experts say that on the robot on the steel frame of this building of any building, the cement is just around the steel frame. so this can ross, this has a negative impact, but we don't know what was done. this will be investigated. the big parts of this building now will be transferred into a warehouse and the army corps of engineers. those are the experts for cases like

this. they will come in and assist local authorities also by investigating like an airplane when they put the airplane back together, investigating what happened and why this building came down. right. and this is sort of building right next to it is being voluntary. it was terribly evacuated at this time, that was jeff and simons from washington. thank you very much to written now where the health minister has resigned over a breach of corona, lars, restrictions that he himself had implemented and emphatically enforced mad. hancock admitted breaking the rules after photos and a video emerged of him kissing and embracing an aide in his office and cog, 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

look for 40 years now. gallon us lisa river has been searching the area in her home region with a metal detector. she often comes with her husband to look for remnants from what is known as the great patriotic war. here in russia, there was a soviet air field nearby. these forests and fields were the sight of fierce battles. around a 1000000 soviet soldiers died, protecting moscow from nazi forces between 1941 and 42. many of them went missing in action. kelly, let's just revise, digs in her free time. the work can be dangerous. it's lucky. galena is a trained bomb diffuser for the russian emergency services. sometimes she finds shrapnel and old mines, but there are also human remains under the roots, what they didn't then a boon in the round is filled with war. the earth hides all these interesting secrets and traces of the past remains of people and traces of vehicles who just

the problem maybe issues with regard lena re, unions like this several generations later are emotional muttered. then look, a little them pitcher we weep on each other's shoulders. you can't really find the words to say the communication is happening on some sort of an emotional level. and of course people just keep telling me, thank you. thank you. see what i see. but sometimes people say, why do you dig? why disturbed the dead? but i think there's somewhere in the ether, faceless, i don't know how to explain that, but their souls are restless. every year, catalina sets off on her search. again. there are people like her across russia. people here say the war isn't really over until the last soldiers body has been buried. galena has made that her life's work. the in pakistan around 1500000 african refugees have

been living there for decades. aren't sure how this happened because they weren't registered until now. that will change students and many fear deportation. hardin con, runs a small grocery store in this refugee camp in pakistan. every day he checks his income and expenses. what he was about the same age is this child when his family flat afghan has done some 40 years ago today it's a distant memory what a young that we had out there was a war going on. so when the situation became was we flag on our school? the youngest on took a just thought and we've been able to live here like that. but the harvey, by doing so fled up kind of stone after the soviet invasion in 1979. he has lived

in the camp ever since. it's one of 20 in this province alone. more than a 1000000 afghans live in pakistan. they're largely on their own. oh no. yeah. you would be lying. if i said we got financial support, let go. the truth is, we don't get any aid from the pakistani government to milan. now, for the 1st time, pakistan is registering the afghan refugees residing in the country. registered refugees are issued a biometric identity card. many children born here have never been registered to its hope. the days will give in to national agencies a clearer picture of the needs in the refugee community.

one thing is clear. he will only return home. says peace. the incense africa. you can universe infections are increasing rapidly as our concerns about the 3rd way. in some regions, hospitals are capacity. the vaccination campaign is fluid and people aren't hearing to come. luna, regulations the message shouldn't be new to anyone. one and a half years into a global pandemic. what's your hands maintain social distance mosque, but the disaster management officers in cape town have observed that more and more people and not sticking to the rule of lead to the really to consider the loved ones. even though they may be resistant to comply with total, but they must think of the family members and they love going to go because how

they feel they can divide is the day to come pick the people i don't and potentially losing love to. i'm not wearing mom in public as a criminal offense in south africa, yet many people don't. but mostly this mosque and everything is for the rich people . you know what i mean? because they have so a lot of money. they don't want to die. bullet eating us, it is tiring. it is tara, especially for those who goes to school, like kids now they're months called 2 days a week. like, it's all, it's frustrating man. it's frustrating for a lot of close to me. died because of 400 on the 2nd wave. so why did he done this test wave so far? the province of how ting around south africa, economic have you had this book has been hit particularly hard making up for more than 60 percent. you infection? scientists expect strict locked down rules soon,

but will the 3rd way fits the entire country harder than the 2nd? no, we don't expect to in the, the areas at listing the coastal provinces of south africa to be worse than the 2nd wave. why that is because the 2nd wave was very severe in the coastal regions of south africa. and we also know from the science that we have done that people that got infected with bits of variance had released a very high level antibodies. so we expect to see a kind of population immunity around the course of medicaid. they could be in cape town, the data management team, encouraging the elderly to sign up what we call the community restrictions, relaxing in europe. and people can travel again to paris. the french capital is trying to, we're to respect a special offers. easier said,
