8:03 pm
days off or who had finished a shift, have come back on duty. but getting help was a struggle for those in rural areas. the quite cause and multiple landslides that closed off roads, bulldozers were brought in to open them again. indonesia straddles the so called pacific ring of fire, a seismically active zone that creates a large number of earthquakes. authorities on java fear the number of dead from this one will rise as rescue and recovery cruise reach more isolated areas. and for more on this developing story, we're now joined by the w's. tar is e man who is in jakarta, taurus give us an update. what's the latest information you have about the earthquake yada or craig? that was a hit hard the west and far of jeff island has put, had a tens of thousands of people displaced and you know, because their houses were collapse earlier. the earthquake and hundreds of them are
8:04 pm
now looking for medical attention. i like the tonight, our records a single field safe dad and the hospitals are still busy with people coming in from surrounding areas. and even though i'm bowlens and medical personnel were sent from nearby state is through the api sander, orient yonder, who have the people to get the medical needs. and also we also get the latest information on the castle. these that spike help this by top really high compared to what happened earlier. luke, 1st 24 hours in until now it saw situation. ah, all hands on deck situation for all government officials for the people to fall in tears. the police had the military. there are trying to get all the remaining so i and try to reach out to more areas surrounded in the epicenter area. that's probably too early to tell. this only happened a couple of hours ago, but what can you tell us about the extent of the damage? yeah, when we talk about the physical damage, it's obvious that most building our collapse and most all houses,
8:05 pm
public facilities like hospitals and schools are room. and people are displaced, that's why a lot of shelters now are taking place in most location like in the fields or any place that does not affect that matter or quick mostly, and still have access to at least clean waters because the out just was cut out they just leaned on gas and electrical power generated from generator. and when we talk about the mental or physiological aspect of the damage, a lot of people are still traumatized by the earthquake, most women and children. i still don't want to go back to their houses because it's not safe, even though some of them are still habitable. and they choose to stay at the shelter and now still waiting for the situation to you know, get back to normal, near the worst effected area. is rule and quite remote there on java. what does that mean for rescue effort?
8:06 pm
yeah, the area is actually not like ah, it's like more sobers and rural areas in most of the, in asia it has a population mostly on leave farmers. and that's why in nor on over days, it can be all accessible by most transports out of the end of a plane. but at the moment since most of the road was cut out due to the landslide and was rich, rescuers now has to lean on the available tools such as motor bikes and are small cars to reach out to the more deeper area of their i be center so that they can result more people and at the mormon. the show there's also was food to gather all the supplies they could get from nearby cities in europe. and we might get more obvious the moral since the help will be coming in from more areas and some odd. rescuers will be sent from the jakarta because the earthquake was failed if and
8:07 pm
i'll build the capitals to go get caught up and damaged was a fear there. and i just as i'll saw, impacting the access towards the affected area by the our quick fidel is tyrese mon reporting from jakarta. thank you so much for that update. ukraine's president has called for nato and its allies to recognise russia as a terrorist state. in a video address to a meeting of the aligns in madrid, volunteers zalinski compared russia shelling of nuclear energy facilities to the use of weapons of mass destruction. ukrainian leader also called for more aid to bolster his country's air defenses and stricter sanctions against russia. polanski the address comes a day after multiple explosions rocked the occupied nuclear power plant in supper regia, the am a do receive. a group that monitor is the use of land mines and war says rush us deployment of the devices in ukraine threatens to undo 25 years of progress on the
8:08 pm
issue. the annual report from land. my monitor says 277 civilians have been killed or injured by mines and explosive remnants in ukraine in the 1st 9 months of this year. can there be a more terrifying job at the moment than that of a ukrainian mind clearing technician working with technology that's barely moved forward for decades? people on the or the other. but if the boy did it through, i walked very slowly and carefully. but looking in front of me, one meter to the left, or the other one meter in front, one meter to the right. so guy you, i look for something visual and then i check with the metal detector for mines that could have been planted before it retreated from house on the russian military, put down hundreds, maybe thousands of mines, explosives that kill and maim directly and indirectly just outside her son,
8:09 pm
this child's family newly liberated by the ukraine army, was heading west. there was, oh, the driver of a car in front of us hit a land mine and that car was thrown on us the explosion. i don't know what happened, but my husband was thrown toward other mind. luckily he didn't blow up. he's in a difficult medical condition now. my daughter, an older son were not hurt, but the middle one had to be of assistance. tate, it, he's better now. i thought it was cry, eastern ukraine has become one of the most mind contaminated regions in the world and with energy and power, being targeted by russia. minesweepers are often followed by engineers, rebuilding the power grid. most of this is with you. yesterday i colleagues found a neutralized and anti personnel mind that had a trend under the mine. there was a grenade and it was a booby trap that was placed on purpose at the entrance of the field where we work
8:10 pm
and growth moves. one official estimates ukraine has lost 25 to 30 minesweepers since the war began. and there are at least 200000 square kilometers, not checked, and not do mind that doesn't include regions now occupied by russia. when the war ends, landmines will remain under foot for years and to expand on that, i now want to welcome richard mccormick. he is a member of the international campaign to ban landmines, as well as a member of the land line monitor editorial committee. mr. cormac, if the war stop today, how long would it take to clear ukraine of the land mines that are in place right now? i'm thank you. thank you for invitation to be on the program. that's a very difficult question to answer. i think so from experience, the reason is that nobody really knows the full extent of contamination with land mines, but from experience that shows really that it, that it would be
8:11 pm
a master code or decades. land mines are of course, always dangerous. but what is so particularly dangerous about the land lines? russia is planting in ukraine. well, i think the, the, the problem in ukraine is, is to do with the scale of the consolidation. you video. very perfect. demonstrate that the fact that it is massive but unknown, makes it very complex challenge. it is actually not just landlines, but it's also huge amounts of unexpended on the exposure to ordinance. there are people on the move that is being mines placed in areas that are both rural and possibly in in areas where there are certain corporation. there is a massive risk to civilians that the lamb my customers monitor has confirmed. the 7
8:12 pm
different types of mine, the suspects of the late by russian forces. each of those may pose a threat for, for decades. and it has been shown historically released 3 quarters of the casualties that are juice mines. civilian, i think in the end issues are quote, sadly, around half of the casualties in the ukraine of land mines have been have been in children. so it's a persistent problem that will go along. and the fact that the research from weapons are still use is frankly shocking. what is the biggest challenge for mine? clarity is that the shared number of minds? what would you say is, is the hardest part of their job in ukraine? i think the hardest part of the job is, is, is the, this, the identification of them are find areas on the see the not to be found easily. there are vast areas in ukraine that currently have are, are,
8:13 pm
seems to be contaminated with some form of contamination. you ranging estimate, i think, has risen 20 fold from the the state and the estimate of contamination. previous to me back in 2018. so it's massive and complex to this as i've spoken about just just now. and indeed your and your report highlighted with, with, with, in the trust potentially being used and allied to the fact that some of this is now in urban environments. and some of this in areas where there's being times people delay the that the mind just in a retreat or this is a big problem for identification and also for presentation. what do you, what do you stop? what 1st rhetoric mccormick a member of the land, my monitor editorial committee, thank you so much for your time today. thank you. thank you. and here's
8:14 pm
a quick look at some other stories making news around the world today. on cra says at least 2 people have been killed and 10 others injured upper rocket fired from syria, a turkish order, town officials land kurdish militants for the attack on the school. and houses and car communes and followed airstrikes by turkey, unsuspected, militant targets in syria and iraq. a man suspected of killing 5 people and injuring 25 more. at a gay nightclub in the u. s. state of colorado on saturday is facing murder and hate crime. charge of the 22 year old is said to have opened fire in the club in colorado springs before being subdued by club gold. nasa's are to miss a ryan capsule has flown over the moon. the spacecraft fired its engines at a height of 130 kilometers above the surface. the maneuver is necessary to allow the capsule to enter the moon's orbit later this week. the artemus mission hopes to
8:15 pm
put astronauts back on the moon by 2025. china's capital beijing has closed several school districts after a surge in cove at 19 cases and is urging residence in its hardest hit areas to stay home over the weekend. beijing reported to corona virus deaths. the 1st in the country since may with millions now under lockdown. again, officials hope their new efforts to curb transmission will be better received now. then in the recent past, with another covered surge comes another lockdown and more mass testing. china is once again responding to the threat of the virus with its demanding approach. the worst effect of cities, including the capital b ging, a closing schools and limiting non essential businesses, urging residence to stay indoors or prove their virus free. if they want to leave their homes running tonight truly, you can't go anywhere. everything's closed. customers can't come either. what can
8:16 pm
you do? oh, right now. i don't know how it will go. the policy is changing every day, but i feel it's still pretty good. daniel, who worked on for her previous sweeping measures, part of china 0 coverage policy prompted a rare public backlash. even though the approach limited the number of infections this time officials are also hoping not to test the people's patience. the government has asked local authorities not to impose widespread locked downs, but to be more targeted in their approach to avoid frustrating the public. and earlier we asked our corresponding fabi and crunch more in beijing. how frustrated people are with china, 0 coven policy? yeah, i would say the reactions can be classified into 2 a reactions. one is a few, i mean people are afraid of getting locked down either at home or in centralized current team facilities. and then of course, there's the anger,
8:17 pm
the frustration because our everyday life is getting disrupted, especially the school closes, his yeah, cost a lot of anger among chinese parents. and the economic damage is also you'd shop own us a frustrated migrant workers, a hit. and then of course, there's a lot of outcry on social media when people see another example of you know, excessive implementation of cobra routes. for example, several days ago i'm a newborn baby has died in a guaranteed facility because it could not be a transported to a hospital fast enough. so i would say yes, definitely the ngo's rising and increasing by the day after the closure of the cop 27 climate talks in egypt. elation over a landmark compensation deal has been tempered by disappointment, over progress on cutting emissions and fossil fuels. take a look at what the summer did and didn't achieve. there was no agreement on phasing out fossil fuels any time soon. delegates did, however, reaffirm a commitment to the goal of keeping global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius above pre
8:18 pm
industrial levels. and there was a loss and damage deal that will compensate vulnerable nations suffering from climate change and the compensation deal reach had come. 27 has been met with praise across the board. but what about cutting emissions? let's bring and montague, latino, to shed some more light on those. he is a meteorologist at the likeness institute of marine sciences in keel. welcome, mr. latifah. most climate experts are disappointed with the outcome of cop 27. what's your assessment? well, i'm frustrated as well because so we aren't making any progress in cutting carbon dioxide emissions and they have even risen in 2022 again. and this is the, the, the opposite of cleaner protection. and you also criticize big events like on the
8:19 pm
one we saw in charm l shake over the past 2 weeks. why? well because they, they are not effective. it, these conferences are almost 200 countries are gathering and they can't agree on anything. i mean, if there are so many parties or the outcome will always be the lowest common denominator, and therefore we aren't making any progress at these conferences. and so i think after more than a quarter century of climate diplomacy, we should think about other formats. so what should be done instead to advance global climate policy until the right direction in a more efficient manner? well, i can think of our 2 ways. first of all, are there are only there is only a small number of countries or relatively small number of countries who account for
8:20 pm
most of the gum dioxide emissions. so the g 20, for instance, they account for about 80 percent of the global c o. 2 emissions, okay, so if they would agree to do something, this would do really a big step forward. however, this would be difficult at the same time, i think it must give us some countries that just proceed. i mean, you can't just wait for everyone and i call it alliance of the willing. and i mean europe, or should be part of that, especially germany, of course, but also the usa, canada, maybe also australia. now, after the government has changed and they should just go ahead and cut emissions in hope that warm walk countries will basically follow this example and also cut emissions. we don't have much time left unfortunately,
8:21 pm
but you're saying the world's heading to 3 degrees on global warming instead of the 1.5 that people committed to and the parents agreement should we focus on adaptation instead of mitigation at this point? no, i don't think so. of, of course, or that there must be some degree of adaptation because the warming, the global warming boot will continue. but there are also limits to adaptation. and there is also limits to financing. and therefore, i think that there is no alternative to cutting significantly lower c o 2 emissions. and i'm sure a lot of your peers would agree with you on that one. many thanks much of let if oh, the world cup in katara is underway and day to begin with england beating around 62 . but the losing side grabbed the headlines early on with
8:22 pm
a protest against their government. a silence that spoke louder than words as iran refused to sing the national anthem head of kickoff in the match there, held firm for 35 minutes, but then 19 year old jude bellingham headed him for his 1st england go. and the floodgates opened. makalya sucka doubled the lead, mixed with a superb strike. 2 minutes before the break and in injury time run him. sterling added another to make it 3 mill and half time, 2nd drab, to full for england and the 2nd half. but iran got off the mark shortly. after the 65th minutes thought, hopes of a comeback with dentist, as marcus rash good added a 5th and jack 3, lucius 6. a later on go from the penalty sport did little to dump him england's mood or improves us of the iranian scene. joining me now from door is
8:23 pm
d w as or it's corresponding danya, barcelona dana date 2 of the competition bought off field matters continue to make the bigger headlines. the iranian team took a brave stance in solitary, a with protesters back home. you have been speaking to urena and fans, or how did they react? so the reaction here in doha has been a little bit mixed. now, a lot of iranian fans, they did not want to talk to us, and they did not want to talk to journalists at all because they were afraid of what might happen in iran, which is totally understandable. now we did talk to a female iranian fan, and actually she was so happy to be here. it was her 1st world cup. she never been to the world cup before, and she actually said she was going to go to the stadium for the 1st time with her brother, because that's not allowed in iran. now, before the game, we did see a lot of pros, protests, also during the game
8:24 pm
t shirts with women life freedom along with sigh. now the biggest thing was one, the iranian men's national team. they didn't sing the national anthem, so they just stood there with their mouths close. and that was a massive show of solidarity with the protest. and until now they've really been criticized because they hadn't done enough for indians. and staying on the field on short notice viva introduced new sanctions for players wearing and armed and, and supportive inclusion and diversity. 7 european teams were planning on wearing and pulled out. can you tell us more about them? yeah, so these are bands for people who don't know as part of another lens lead campaign against discrimination. now fever had really been trying to dance around this issue and avoid it because as we know, homosexuality is illegal and guitar, but the captain in the federation said that they were going to where the, the arm band anyway. and they were going to take any fines that came with that. now it started to circulate that there could be playing sanctioned sanctions or yellow
8:25 pm
cards. and that is what caused the federation to make a u turn shortly before kick off actually today. and they said, okay, we're not going to wear them anymore because as a player, if you're playing on a yellow card, that really changes the way you play the way you approach the game. you also risk getting a red card, easier in that game or future suspensions that now this decision has really sent the internet a blaze. but here in doha, we talked to a lot of fans and they told us they wish that people would just let the players play talking about the van 31000000 expected to attend the world cub. what's their experience like and can tar, hey? well, it's also a little bit mix, i mean, from a foot buying standpoint, there are a lot of fancier. people are super happy. we're seeing a lot of mixing of different cultures. people singing dancing. that is still the power football. it does bring people together. that's the positive side. now, on
8:26 pm
a negative side, we know katara is a very small country, and there are a lot of people here. now the alcohol thing is still a big issue. and one of the only places you can get alcohol is in the fan zones. now, there are so many people here. what has happened is they've started to actually close the fan zones and not let people into them. so now they can't see the games on the big screen. they can't drink alcohol and that has them a disappointed now, hopefully this is just a pre tournament or beginning of the tournament thing and they get everything sorted out quickly. daniel barcelona, thank you so much. and in the day, 2nd game, the netherlands managed to beat african champion senegal through 2 late goals in a tightly contested affairs. both teams had chances, but it wasn't until the 84th minute that coding got po managed to break. the deadlock is headed goal was soon followed by another from baby class and
