northernmost count, please. ah, 3 times long. but still very much alive, d, that when you travel you'll go to the special hospital in germany. it recognizes where exactly it was fun. i learned a lot our culture history, all their d. w. travel extremely worth a visit with you're watching d w. news asia coming up today, a devastating bridge collapse in india during peak holiday season. with over a 100 dead. many people are asking how this could happen to a newly refurbished bridge. and in south korea, authorities will launch an investigation into this weekend tragedy. goers crushed

to death in souls major night life district plus disaster in the philippines following yet another tropical storm. we'll take a look at the death toll and damage. ah, i melissa chan, thanks for joining us. search operations continue in the indian state of gujarat where a bridge collapse killed at least a 132 people. the suspension bridge was 1st built in the 19th century but had recently undergone a refurbishment opening just days earlier. boats have been scouring the area to locate any additional victims. eye witnesses say many of those who fell into the river were children. crowds had packed the foot bridge, celebrating the holidays of the devali and direct googe erotic year. he w. south asia bureau chief america cima. has more about the many questions being

asked, how this disaster could happen and who is responsible? how could a bridge which had gone 2 months of renovations, be opened and collapsed within just days of reopening? now they are obviously lot of theories to that. people are also asking themselves, why were so many people allowed on a bridge about 500 people are meant to have been on the bridge when it collapsed. now, a special tribunal has been set up to investigate these questions as well as a technical committee. and of course, they'll take some time to come up with their conclusions. but the, our initial reports that a cable snapped and perhaps the she'll rate of the number of people on the bridge. and they'll also be disturbing reports coming out reports which say that the company which actually renovated the bridge did not have a fitness certificate from the local municipal cooperation. and then the question arises, why didn't the authorities allow people on the bridge? they're also reports that the maintenance company,

which was looking after the bridge, opened the bridge ahead of share dune, and they use this holiday season to make a bit of money that even issued tickets to people to go on to the bridge. now there's an all of a disturbing reports and the need to be investigated. there's been obviously a, the swift reaction from prime minister in ramadi. it is his state, good art is his day and he's actually there on a visit. he's a made speeches about giving a bra, his sympathies, and condolences to the next of kin. he says he shares the been that the people of more be, are feeling. he's also announced compensation for the next of kin for those who died as well as the chief ministers also are offered compensation. and they have been of course reactions from politicians, from across the political spectrum. all of them are sharing the pain that the people are in more be are feeling. and also of course, asking questions how this could happen. so there's also bit of a political lynn game which has started exploits,

say we had the policies we had the fame, but is this a question not being implemented properly? so we just have to wait and see what the investigation brings out. in south korea, police have set up a 561 member task force to investigate what caused a deadly crowd search this weekend. that killed more than a 150 people. young people were out celebrating halloween hitting the streets of the popular night life district of 81. when things took a frightening and deadly turn, emergency workers and ambulances struggle to get through the crowds to help people contributing to the chaos. president young, secure, has declared one week of national morning ordering flags across the country to fly at half staff. joining us as journalist frank smith in so frank, can you give us a bit more on the latest? well according to the most recent information we have

a 14054 people have lost their lives. 30 people remain in serious condition of those that. busy passed away. 98 were mostly young women, 56 were men. 4 of them were teenagers. a one middle school student died and 26. foreigners die. i didn't in this crush on saturday night and in the alley, just behind me were thousands of people and estimated 100000 people gathered for what was supposed to be a much more festive occasion. this was the 1st instance a weekend when young people could take off their mask. southbridge mask wearing mandate for outdoor activities, had been lifted, and they look forward to celebrating this event instead of turned into tragedy. melissa, this going to be a lot of or i imagine there already is a lot of anger over this. can you give us

a sense of how people are we acting there? yes, there is a lot of anger and i've seen that here in the street at, at this site. the prime minister came to this location just about an hour and a half ago. and, and when he came here, he was shouted at by, by a man who, who pu haps her had been, you know, hit by this, by this tragedy in some way. and also there has been some vitriol odom owed on social media with the some videos circulating that show. what happened? this is somewhat reminiscent for so grants of the 2014 se will disaster when a ship went down off the korean peninsula. taking $300.00 people with it, including $270.00 youngsters out on a field trip. so certainly people are remembering that and remembering kind of a valid that the government need that, that public safety would be looked after. that wasn't the case here. numerous eye

witnesses that i have spoken to personally have said that the crowd control here was disorganized. so certainly that there are going to be some tough questions to ask and, and tough questions of high officials. so the grease minister of interior safety said that this could not have been prevented. obviously that runs counter to what some of the eye witnesses said and other information that suggests that crowd control here in e t one have been difference on previous large scale celebrations, such as halloween and, and new year's. so definitely again, the investigation that this is going to take places is going to have to be a thorough one. melissa. i remember that fairy incident and that contributed i to eventually exit have been president packing. he and now i understand president, you has had a rocky start to his presidency. do you think people will be blaming hen sir?

certainly things are are going to get pretty political. there was another conservative here in, in an incident that took place at, at this site and he was calling out encouragement to so the green president use prime minister as he toured the site, showing that he should cheer up in this was amongst people that had come to share their. busy wishes here. so certainly the question is just how political this will get with humans approval rating dropping below 30 percent. recently, people here in south korea are trying to come to terms with this now. just behind me and alter, has been set up just near the the alley where this took place people and also placed chrysanthemums at city hall and, and given out now black ribbons to call for those that have lost their lives to, to rest in peace. melissa frank smith, thank you so much. in the philippines, tropical storm now,

gate slammed parts of the country, leaving behind a trail of disaster, including at least $98.00 people dead, and dozens missing. those numbers will go up. first, the latest. using long pieces of timber, these coats guards are searching for bodies and the sultan village of christiane. there's little chance people buried in the storm triggered mudslide would have survived. others were lucky enough to escape on time. but serious damage to infrastructure, such as bridges, means evacuation still like sufficient. 8 o loan. less i plead for hope that hopefully the bridges will be fixed soon. so that the relief assistance from those who wish to extend help can reach us on the old don't. the morals i mean now gave was one of the most destructive storms to lush to philippines. this year it struck on a weekend when millions in the country returned to their home towns to visit the

graves of their dead relatives. instead, they were left to grapple with floods and now there damaged homes. esther water receipts in some parts of the country residence begin to clean up. this is said, love us health. now, hardly recognizable re learn. lat that again and gum it. it wasn't expected that the water would reached out higher the new the up. we thought it would just be me deem him behalf island. i mean young and lord lang. but the devastation isn't over. in the north and philippines flooding worsened, even as the storm moved across to south china sea. tropical storms kill hundreds of people in the philippines nearly but scientists have more that climate

change or making them more powerful, meaning havoc like this is set to become a constant. floods in towns near manila bay in the philippines have been a problem for several decades. but the situation is being made worse by climate change and other human factors. residents in places like the town of hog, annoy, have urged the government to act to mitigate the floods. the street in hog neu, in the philippines is permanently flooded. the war to never fully receives, leaving locals to manage as best they can. but local motorbike taxi drivers have come up with a solution. they hope will make life here easier. they've raised the height of their vehicles. this way they can continue ferrying passengers back and

forth and earn money. ha, ha. baker services. lots do a factor that i mean with advice. again for us motorbike taxi drivers. vehicles are not made to hosp flood waters. so what we did was no up. we modified them in order to make a living, but up or you despite having year long flogs acura downtown montage on my behalf. i believe not everyone can afford to take the customized tricycles, but those who can welcome the innovation saying they also make it possible for them to go about their business. very important, phyllis, i mean i live very important to us especially to those who have to work and if the flood waters do not subside until the afternoon. fill out and we need these types of transportation like modified motor bikes to clean them up by some thighs if get all the causes of flooding in this town, like others in the area are too much construction,

close to the river and bad. a waste management meaning garbage is thrown into waterways. also to blame our high tides and storm surges linked to climate change, but with no sign of an end to those problems in the near future. residents here, i have to rely on their own creativity with some time to come. that's all for today. be sure to check out our website. that's d, w dot com, ford slash asia, and our social media at the w means. melissa chan have a good day. oh, it's time to get by taking a look at the dark, scary a soul in united,
