began rescuing residents. but with daylight it became clear that many couldn't be saved. with dozens of bodies recovered from the gutted building up to 200 people, i believe, to be living in the dilapidated 5 story structure. officials say shak setup inside had made it hard to, to escape the flames. really, so what do we need to say highlights all of us? it's a little bit more specific details insight. so therefore the trends of one being said, the site that much higher the volume is concerned, making it out to the smoke filled building was hauled and dangerous. that was, it was so difficult for us to get out the other to the cory doors with bad spots. i managed to get out with my kids. we managed to escape, but we didn't have

a lot of smoke. at least we goats out, which is very sad, is the others who died inside. firefight is a working the way through the building floor by floor. with the desk told, expected to rise further. efforts to identify victims would likely be difficult with some bodies left but beyond recognition, the calls that the fly is not yet clear, but an investigation into the tragedy is already underway. we cannot go straight to johannesburg. to dw is diane hall county, diane officials. i've given the press conference, so just a short while ago. what more do we know now? well, they've indicated that they are still about 60161 people who were treated as a result of this plays some or still being hospitalized or, or of course,

we already know that 70 people passed away as a result of this fire. and there is an ongoing investigation into the coals up in the police expect are expected to send in sniff adults over the evening once the scene has been created as safe. when i leave the scene, they were concerned about the structural integrity of the building. and that it wouldn't be safe to see people or animals into the building as yet until the building has been declared safe. there's also some residual heat in the building. and for that reason, they're waiting for an approval to send those sniffer dogs in. one likely, if there are any more bodies in the building to determine whether the dis told has stayed the same or has gone up. and of course, you know, with the, uh, any indications as to, with the fire actually began. yeah, uh give us a bit of background of the situation that led to the fire,

the circumstances. so well at this point it's not 100 percent clear as to the the start of the fire. but what we've heard from emergency services is that they at the moment they believe that it started on one of the lower floors. this is a 5 story building and the lower floors had significant amount of damage as compared to the other fluids. you know what the 1st flu they they described as completely destroyed. and they also notice that there was a number of illegal partitions instructions which in the building. this is because the building is the high tech building. it was in, it's a building that's owned by the municipality, but it has been taken over by illegal land. and it seems like the legal landlords had had control of this bully for quite some time because of the municipality of feedback in 2019. they conducted a raid specifically for this reason. however,

it's not clear why between now and 2019 they haven't been have it hasn't been anything done for the municipality to re gain control of that building. illegal buildings or hijacked buildings is a big problem that exists in the, in downtown dentist. but in some instances, the owners of the building have left the country. in some instances, they've just let go of the buildings because there's not enough income due to the state of the area. and in other instances, they are pushed out by syndicates who didn't take over the buildings and then partitioned them, you legally and start printing out the spaces for various re until the box it up is diane hawker, that reporting from johannesburg. thank you very much, dan. as well as and regionally the is calling for return to constitutional rule and the ball and the day after the military seas power that you appear in union has condemned the cool uncalled for restraint from both sides. the

a cup on is not the only west african nation on the agenda into later as you mentioned, the ministers will also discuss the situation in news. yeah. which also so minutes record just last month. what can we expect them as well? the crew in new jersey is of course, from the european perspective, a totally different metro because the country used to be a very important partner for the you will be in union, especially when it came to corporation on security. and all of that is now being put on ice the your p. and so i still hoping for a political solution to the, to the situation there. and they invited to the president of the eco us a, the can only community of west african states to toledo, to discuss the situation. they also invited the representative of the toppled government in each year. and according to use of 40 uh they wants to uh, to have this multiple of having african solutions for african problems at the means

that they want to support a qu, us, and solving the crisis. there will be a hearing that's the topic of potential military innovation intervention. what's that really race, do you, inc, the meeting? the so hoping for a political solution. and that is why we can expect that you will be in union to follow the example of a co us and also to implement sanctions against a member of the military junta in this year did up your process book, see if i sent a phenomena this. thank you very much and have some it's been over a month since the military is, is pilot in these. following the cooling is as the board has been closed, and west african countries impose sanctions on the country pots. often usually i have experience foot shortages, and some of these brands have blamed the sanctions for making the situation worse. all reports um okay, um i will buy car reports from the library. that's

a town on the niger river where food is in short supply a. 7 down with a co, bus least and wants to wait to us and to levy the furious for them. it's clear who is responsible for the dire situation sang since imposed. but it to us in front, a close ally of the over the phone government the with very happy that the minute truth taken. notice that over the last few years we've suffered so much because of regional insecure. so you had, there are no jobs. we've only lived on agriculture and outcasts. oh, wow. but then the terrorist took over the animals and killed on men and sons having the home. and the government has done absolutely nothing about it. you know, the, but i mean, i do think the me at the local market, customers can still find staples, that price, but fewer and fewer people can afford to buy them with,

you know, what we really want. now that the military has taken control, is that they go to the shopkeepers and get them to lower prices. they need to have pity on us. i'm not going eco, was say they're going to do this or sash. if the generals really loving each year, as they always say, then they should at least lower the price is going with the facility. pretty quick, right now. do you want a, why don't we price the gods that the high prices will come down? so then we can go back to our old prices then our customers will be happy when they, they came in ease and people and a good salary like n g o worker type. who am i do struggling to make ends meet every week you sense of back of rise to the capital in the m a. to see, to extend that family was for wives and 9 children is lucky to be getting any

advice its own smooth equal so right, so as we import here in these year just isn't getting to is any more, you know, without faster see there's only local rice for new year, which isn't enough for everyone to do the look color. don't on demand is making the price shoes up. even with local rice. every week the price goes up by $25.00 francs about cost. i think the best thing for us to look at wise is clone just to kind of way to away from the market on the 1st of the night. although the price for his crop has gone up by some evenings that kylie says he's not the one making a profit which ever government is impala. tied out, the high cost of rice is not directly related to the current situation. so put more to the availability of fertilizer, as well as the diesel to run the pump, the irrigation

r plantation important to wherever you look the streets of the once bustling town are empty tray to stop the, to every small harbor where no goods are coming in the situation is getting worse every day. that's coming up now, some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the former us president donald trump has pleaded not guilty in the georgia election fraud case. this means he has waved his rights to appear in court. next week, trump and 18 others have been shots with trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the south eastern states. north korea has launched to ballistic missiles and what it calls that, quote, simulated nuclear strike themselves, traveling more than 360 kilometers before landing in the sea of the eastern coast. going on, ballistic missiles are banned by the un security council,

which has imposed sanctions on the machine. in south korea and the united states are conducting joint military bills. the annual exercises are designed to enhance their responses to the north nuclear and miss all france forces, practicing beach landings and river crossings with troops and tax pylons full of assignment. as so, talk sent you in awhile to us. the request of the royal pub talk soon was admitted to the hospital shortly after returning to thailand last week of 2 years in self imposed exile. he must still serve 8 years in prison for corruption of use of the tropical storm. he dies, threatening to bring floods and storm surge to the us, states of south and north carolina area. its tor into florida is a hurricane causing large scale destruction. authorities have become clean up and recovery walk in the hottest hit areas in the wake of the storm. the u. s.

government has declared the public health emergency in florida of the aftermath of a category 3 hurricane that slammed into the coast with the speed of a fast moving train. authorities had to issue mandatory evacuation orders for low lying areas before floods. turn, florida is coastal roads into rivers and left hundreds of thousands without power over my door. and i see a river outside the water is going down there saying that the high tide is going to come back up. but i don't see your getting any worse. so i'm here back on my home trying to make the best on it, but worst situation with the road swamped this florida couple found an alternative way to leave their flooded homes. kayaks with the get the truck out and they're about to go under water. so checking out the neighborhood, the uniform report,

search crews were deployed to help president stranded in the vast light, the populated area, despite the extensive property damage. florida is governor said the clean up process was off to a good start. yeah, you know, so far all signs have been positive. there is of course, a lot of debris to clean up, but we will get working with that with the local communities to make sure that the roads are cleared and people can go back to their lives, downgraded to tropical storm after passing through florida, the dalia sweeping through georgia and south carolina. brian daily is a generalist in tallahassee, florida, and uh, i asked him about the situation that or so tallahassee thankfully was largely spared some of the worst impacts of hurricane dahlia. unfortunately,

our areas to our east to our south east were the areas where the storm came ashore and caused some of the more widespread damage that you'll see. debris on the roads down power lines. um, just the sort of uh, what you typically would see after a hurricane stay at water on the roads. um tallahassee. we are about 75 miles away from that area. taylor county. oh, it's about a rural county in florida is big bend area was really what so the bronze of the damage. uh but you know, this storm i heard it mentioned um caused widespread power outages. again, the, the road to recovery for this area that really did take the bronze after land fall is going to be a long one. now, how does the clean up going? as the queen seemed yesterday to be off to a fast start,

i myself went down to taylor county, to the governor, held a press conference there and we spoke to some local people i observed on the way. and the crews were already out of getting, you know, it's a very heavily wooded area of many, many trees which causes inherently causes problems after storms. but there were crews all over the roads. most roads were passable, however, drivers were having to maneuver around large, treat down trees, etc. i myself stopped at an area where a, a, a gas station part of the structure had been toppled over as you drive through. you see, again, widespread damage. uh, you know, just about everywhere you look, recover around the furniture for interrupting you that right. and then i just like

to briefly talk about this situation further north of stone has moved or is about to move into the carolinas. uh any, and for ya, from there about the damage i've seen reports of flooding and threatening flooding. as i delia has moved north through the southeast to be honest with you of focus here, at least for me has been mostly on florida. and i can say one encouraging saying that we're hearing from state officials at our state director of emergency management this morning, said that there have been, no dest reported to the medical examiner's commission directly related to the storm . i think that is something that people are feeling relatively lucky for, and i think it signals that people cheated. their local officials mandates to evacuate ahead of the storm. that's lucky indeed, the vine daily there. thank you very much. i some sports news for you at the us
