as a monstrous of, as quite entire villages of people in himes wiped out thousands a date and the death toll is expected to rise. today, morocco is in morning for me. it's because natural disaster in living memory now the race is on to find anyone who might still be alive. risky crews are really using what if they can heavy equipment even they'd be a hands to dig through rumble in room like mountain villages. many people are having to sleep out in the open as they try to come to grips with everything that they've lost on jared rate in building. and this is the day the was sitting comfortably at home when suddenly we felt a tremor like say, 5 seconds. it's happening within seconds,

everything fell down. some people ran out of the houses. others didn't make hits. my mother is this my mother in my hand, this book hanging low, low. now i've got nothing. now i'm unemployed. there's nothing to eat. everything is destroyed. also on the day, it's 50 years since the crew that brought dick tied to oh gosh to penetrate to a pallet and she laid his brutal regime killed thousands today too late is divided on how exactly to commemorate its past that survive is about time. warn against being complacent about the dangers of all for a terry and isn't i people we need to save democracy, aggressive democracy is the system that at least allows us to have a minimum of freedom with, with doing it's not an option to say let's just forget about it because it happened so long ago in are welcome to the day,

the last time an earthquake hate morocco as hot as this was of a 100 years ago. the quag struck thousands of vermont villages live on friday, flattening them, and killing thousands. right now on the rock and rescue is supported by foreign teams. are doing all they can to find survive is in the rubble. the match of the affected region is hard to reach. the sky, lavette task is huge, and time is running out. the catastrophe has wiped out families and livelihoods amongst the rubble of the villages. survivors mon, for their loved ones. the quakes lessened entire villages in the high atlas mountains, burying families on to the homes. abdul rahman survived, but he lost his wife and 3 sons. as a no, no me that we buried them yesterday. go for you. i felt so

sorry for them. okay, the only way and so can smith. when we found that they were all huddled together, the 3 boys because of that, they all died and the earthquake. the weed that homes destroyed people and left to sleep outside the age is trickling in. but many of the villages are remote and difficult to reach. some survivors say this still waiting for help and have you thought any, when the earthquake struck them, all communications were cut off ears. it was the villagers who got the victims out of the houses thinking of just spending the night in the cold water leak as you do, never mind, we have no 10, wasn't one of those, no blankets. we had nothing on the she has a button and, and said what you the fact that the support from some foreign countries like casa in spain has arrived. but the moroccan government has sofa ignored offers of help

from other nations. for in teams have joined moroccan rescue is working to locate people still trapped under the rubble some left to say victims of us, quick and tacky. earlier this year is always a race against time, but i will never write to anybody often to give you still pulling people out after 7 days. so we will stay as long as we need it until we think that the quake has also blocked some roads. and rescue is a still trying to reach some of the how does to terry is is the window to find survivors slowly close the gentlest. most cybill. sammy has visited several villages in the past few days that were completely destroyed by

the quite the joints us from our cash. welcome. most of the 1st days the most critical in, in natural disasters, it's being 3 days now since the quite so. what hopes are the and now we're finding more survivors and um, very little um, most of the villages uh close to my cache, the less remote ones they've been mostly dealt with and they've all been recovered . and the ones that continue to improve. i challenge other remote villages that have been cut off due to the damage from the as quick which has blocked access to these villages. today, the military honeycup is throwing aide uh, from headquarters uh to the residents of these villages. because there has been no access yet, that has been parts. and how is the region on federal though that was done through

region uh, almost 100 kilometers sides of my cache that i have been an excessive boat, but um, slowly there is some help arriving. it's obviously a race against time and it's, it's remains to be seen how many can be recovered after the critical stuff. we can do 2 hours of task week with that, with the arrival of some expert teams and rescue missions from the full countries. um, there is some hope at that that could be the case, but that's the challenge of just access into these areas continues to be the main ones you've talked about. the i that's coming in morocco has accepted aid from some countries there span cost operation and the u. a easy, but it hasn't accepted help from others. could you tell us why a well, the american official line was after expressing gratitude to the global uh supports

was that it was gonna deal with the uh, all these requests almost case by case really. and what was interesting uh that was mentioned in the statements was that they fear that uh with out to this coordination and they could add these efforts could be counter productive. and i think what this is referring to is as great that happened in or same almost 20 years ago in the northern region region and act that killed 600 people by today. but it was miles by confusion, by planes landing and others having to wait because airports could not stay in or receive all of these uh arrivals. and maybe there, maybe that is one of the reasons why i'm more of a careful. and also there is, there is a sense that because of this is such a, a changing situation. they are,

they want to be careful. but obviously this is not a, i'm, i'm, i'm a controversial one. a lot of people have been surprised and some of the people we spoke to in the villages where um, supportive off uh, off uh the fact that morocco should accept all the help it can. because of how some of these efforts have just locked. whether it's the button next or just uh, overwhelming and pressure on the military and security forces or i, i want to say this, the reason i'm sorry i want to while we have time, which is very brief i, i just want to ask you finally about the people who have survived many of them is sleeping out in the open. what's being done to help them for now. um, most people are starting to spend their nights in uh,

in tens more camp sites uh away from their uh, villages, almost uh, almost every village in the highest mountain now has those little kind of sides. but they continue to be voluntary efforts. as some people are still sleeping industries, even in the streets of my cache on the last night, we met a lot of people who continued sleeping the streets, whether they are afraid of dr. sharp or just the ones who haven't yet found shows that today, morocco is prime minister as he's a nose. and a gave some official remarks where he said that the reconstruction ended with then and their rehabilitation program is on the government's prior to this. and that really shouldn't be the case because of the fidgets conditions in the hapless mountain where the temperature drops. yes, very, very significant, has nights, gentlest. most. i'll saw me speaking to us from our coast. thank you so much for your reporting there.

estonia and lafayette have signed a deal with germany to buy it's iris t a defense and we saw system. the joint purchase is worth 400000000 euros. it types of wasteful. the 2 baltic nations to join the european sky shield initiative . this is a common, a defense plan put forward by building gym and he wants to retain countries to join forces to increase protection against russian miss 1000 drawings. it says the kremlin is invasion of ukraine has revealed weaknesses in the defensive. good from key is to crime a task. russian met sales have devastated ukrainian cities destroying thousands of homes, the killing civilians, and forcing europeans to ask themselves whether their defences are strong enough to keep them safe. wherever you check in europe. because of the cold war,

we haven't invested enough money in this capability. gemini wants to lead the way in changing that. with the, with the european sky shield initiative, we're bringing together european states to join key increase protection against ballistic missiles, cruise missile syndrome. this is what germany's plan looks like. 6 irish t surface to air rocket systems with target short range marseilles, a dozen patriot systems would be used and to set to meet jim range attacks on to top it off the arrow 3 system would defend against attacks from outside the shop must be providing vast cover so far, 19 european countries i've signed up to about lessons planned. i'm very happy that our populace as tonia and luckily i have decided to procure the iris dsl him. this will without any doubt frank, some european ad defense,

one of jeremy's closest allies, friends. however, once to push ahead with its own initiative, i'm joined now by military analyst marina mirror and seems to be the department of wall studies at kings college in london. welcome back to the day many or we just heard. france wants to take a different approach to defending europe skies. how is it, how is fronts different to germany's europeans guy shield initiative a good evening? well, friends is a pro which is looking at the long term and the problems that friends has specifically is the use of us. and us in east riley made systems such as patry with an arrow 3 and so friends for see some issues when it comes to reliance on other actors. so forefront, it's important to rely more on the european made systems. this will the essentially,

um, results the issue of europe depending on the united states for its security probation, and gave europe some sort of an economy when it comes to defending itself. and friends has also developed an air defense system together was easily which is mom. but it hasn't been tested, but that, that's the francis approach, is to use that instead of relying on the united states and israel. so you're saying frances approach is more long term that relies more on european know how uh, from your perspective as a military analyst, which plan makes the most sense to you, a weight based plans, they go into the same direction. essentially both agreed that europe needs a proper area defense, however, is there a political problems and there are some technical problems as well in terms of implementing this plan. and these are plan in these are initiatives and has answers

to that. for instance, even if you, we would go was a friends as approach refusing european made the air defenses. again, we're seeing that 92 countries have joins the initiative. this is boasting, of course, um, germany's defense industry. it's a great move. however, we don't know how those systems will be distributed and how user plan would integrate with nato strategic goals because need or has a radars. and essentially, what is important is it, integration of the active part of the european scribe defense of, of those systems that we just talked about was the nate or reader system was passive defenses. especially considering that not only are members spain and easily having joint of this initiative pool. and i want to glee hasn't joined this initiative despite being close to russia and who is going to control it. is it

going to be central to control which countries are going to purchase which systems and how the pay with it within each country will influence the decision making at near this lots of competing solutions to the same problem? let's talk about that for a moment. just how vulnerable easier to rush and miss solves, and drawings. well, at this time, that there is no foreseeable eminence rep from russian missiles. russia has been developing hypersonic missiles as a response to what formally has been known as a prompt global strike, a, which is a non nuclear long range stride capability. however, now russia is involved in the war in ukraine, and russia's military capabilities are over stretched. and russia on the stands well that it wouldn't farewell against nato for so rush,

it doesn't really seek to provoke nieto by striking it was non nuclear weapons. if it came to a big escalation, then fairly russia would resort to nuclear weapons because that would give it a certain advantage. however, even striking con to force targets was a natal. so there was surely going to be a response that's russia will not like. and that russia will not be able to respond to effectively to this being sad. um, i don't think that the strep is there for drones. it's a completely separate matter because footprint such air defenses are not very effective. and there are other solutions which europe doesn't have in his arsenal using laser weapons to apply drones. and israel has some of those. but this, this is a separate issue, needs to be considered as an addition to

a layered defense, as we're seeing in this initiative. thank you for your time, the rena mirror and from kings college in london. we really appreciate your analysis. thank you very much. i for to a is mocking 50 years since the military crew of 1973. that over through the government of salvador allende. that career led to a military dictatorship and on the augusta penetrated that last of the 17 years under that regime, thousands of opposition supported with persecuted, tortured and killed by the army. to land president gabrielle burridge gave an address outside on one need a presidential palace in santiago. the palace was bombed by choose an air force planes and the crew. and it's with salvador. again they died. and what i'll be talking to our correspondent in santiago in just a moment. but 1st this report about a person who witnessed these events 50 years ago 1st had

the, the moment, but changed too late for the presidential palace in san diego monita under attack. the video footage, an indispensable witness to the military coup in 1973, overflowing the governmental socialist president sided by the audience. on the day of the attack, he insisted on staying in the palace. by 3, she has been hoping and was his private secretary back then, but she would never see her boss again. this is where the president committed suicide and the she would have never surrendered. that we were all sure of. on the morning of that day, after some phone calls, she already knew that something was off. she tried to make her way to the presidential palace,

but was stopped by the military. narrow the address that they surrounded me. it was, it is one of them pulled my arm behind my back to nick and i said and said let me through. i am the president. secretary, you're saying that only made things worse. you said they needed to surround me and my cars had a tiny cough. it's heavy again, i knew that something tremendous was going on, but i didn't understand was municipal. and then one of i and these ministers showed up, and you to florida administer flores on more. and almost without looking at me, he said me to try to run movies if that's all different, but surely was plunged into sales. that's the military took over power under the orders of that colanda in chief general. i will still be not yet in 1974 . the new chad was declared president by the tune tough. during his a 17 years of rule, thousands of 2 lanes are posing that regime were arrested, told, shed tube, and disappear as bill bryan however managed to escape to cuba to get the width of

children. and one of our youngest daughters be at these, also known as patty. they left everything behind. yeah, yeah. so now for a new life sausage would get a very pain if you had one to help me out because we had no news from my family. is this? well i had no idea how my husband was to the other. we knew that the president had died so, so there was something we would not talk about in this tati. and i would not able to talk about it there. so i'm wondering what the point at that is. i don't know if i'd be able to have that if the from one day to the next is special benign became an exile living 1st in cuba. then in venezuela watching from a far as the penal trip dictatorship ended in 1990. despite the arrests for human rights violations, and a trusted tease committed, securing his regime, protect remained untried until his death in 2006. in 2002 again, this form

a secretary returned to santiago for good, so traumatized by the past. she has made it her mission to keep on getting this memory alive and raise awareness about to lose history. so the past can not repeat itself. i can kind of and we need to save democracy, aggressive democracy is the system that at least allows us to have a minimum of freedom with what's due. and it's not an option to say, let's just forget about it because it happened so long ago, then that is what the chile and right is doing with a denial that they say it's not true that it's a lie. we cannot let that happen. that's my position, and i will defend it until the last day of my life. the dw correspondent opinion men of iris group eyes in santiago, benjamin 50 is on. it's very clear the wounds of the military crew still run very date for survivors. what does the crew and the brutality of the printer should raise the main to people living internally today?

are the ones that definitely still open. you can see also with the speeches of the family, members of those were full simply disappeared. many of them also appeared and talked today at this commemoration of the 50 years of the military coup in front of the presidential palace. the palace was bombarded exactly 50 years ago. many of them have been searching for years for the remains of their loved ones. only recently released just as minister and they presented a new national search plan to find these remains. but of course, you can see there that this feeling society is still divided when it comes to the coo and when it comes to the 17 years of military dictatorship that follow. dr. it in. there are people who still defend what was the future said. there was a recent poll saying that at least 39 percent of people still support. i was subpoenaed to the house and protest only in front of the presidential policy, and that democracy was broken before in 1973. so during a, the, the, the,

it's 3 years of saw the lawyer again committed suicide onto 1st 11th. but of course the society is still divided. we see especially on day 6 is the benjamin i want to talk a bit more about these divisions because of recent survey. so that 60 percent of 2 lands would not interested in the crew. why do you think that is? that's right, and that's why we just heard the report why it's so important to talk about these things and but also if you look at how a political parties are reacting to it because of course we can see how discussions are going in society. but if you take it further and see how political parties are reactive as a tentative, almost that's a coalition of center, vice and voice. when punches they decided to not attend the ceremony today to also not find the declaration by the government and one pod, your rock, we fall into even south of what happened on september 11th of 1973. the events,

not even talking about a military to what inevitable. it shows that many say you have to look forward to have to listen to the future and don't look back. but as you said, it was still open in many of the last, before ounces. these on says, you know, we know benjamin thousands were killed on dependent shade and so many of it so many victims are still missing what's being done to a timing for these victims and, and to try it and st. just as or does it happen? there's national search fund that i mentioned already been restored, available they just as minister who will now search for it. but we have to look further and we have to see how long it has taken for just is it only recently? also there was some soldiers who tortured and killed a victor. how did one of the most well known a sing is in chile, and that happened 50 years after the touch and off to the motor occurred. so there are many were still in the military. the military leaders were also absent a today's commemoration. we still have to talk, we still have to say, well,

these people are to give more information and they're still more information coming out. of exactly what's happened there. new documents that happened also supplied by the us government for the us embassy, and julie showing how the nixon government tried to overturn again even before it took over power. so the lot of answers that us to look and once we're open, but in, on days like this, you see the children's society is still divided on this. thank you for your reporting benjamin others group and santiago. thank you so much. i to well, that's out time, but please make sure to stay in todd's follow our team on x dw and using myself at jared underscore rate. if it's, if it's the latest headlines you'll looking forward as always to w dot com for now from the entire team on the day. thank you for spending part of your day with us. the
