the the, you want to get all the news coming to live from berlin. thousands remain missing in libya, days after massive flooding. the libyan government administer says he fears the death toll maybe double with more than 5000 bodies already recovered. much of the city of dana is destroyed after torrential rains, cause to dance, to burst. also coming up on the show. kim's wrong and hold on to the president vladimir, posted in russia's far east, kim sledges, north chris bull support to russia. think that he'll always support moscow and it's put to fight against the western imperialism.

the empire. richardson, thank you so much for joining us. in libya, the death toll from catastrophic flooding has risen to over 5000 people. and the officials say that number is expected to climb even further as bodies that were swept out to sea wash back ashore. storm daniel hit libya after barreling across the mediterranean. it caused floods which swept away entire neighborhoods in eastern coastal areas. the destruction is worse and there are no where to dance collapse, wiping out a quarter of the city. thousands of people are still missing and among the survivors, tens of thousands are now left homeless, in their opinion says it's sending a to live down, but relief efforts are being complicated by the fact that libby is internationally recognized. government and tripoli does not control the devastated eastern regions

as the casualties in there. now, mount locals are overwhelmed with the task of identifying and bearing the dead. on the mountain, we are mass burying bodies yesterday at the neighboring hospital on the she had area and it was about a 1000 dead people including women, children come in and elderly and see if there know was devastated when to downs collapse during the storm. it's an unprecedented disaster and help has been slow to arrive back in uh, we call on all the young libby, and anyone who has a degree or any medical affiliation to please come and help us despite warnings that the storm was coming. presidents were not evacuated. so, but there is none, and then we heard that the dam had burst, and water had flooded the area which had people were asleep. and no one was ready.

crumbling infrastructure and political divisions which rival factions controlling different parts of the country have made libya particularly vulnerable and official from the eastern administration who visited the city said as much as 25 percent of their in a had disappeared. meanwhile, libya's internationally recognized government based in trip. we don't play the need for international aid, even though doesn't control the affected region. we had to postpone all demands for assistance in wisconsin, with the exception of crucial cases. we sort of, we said we don't need food. water medicine or even manpower and that's why we need this specialist visit. we need help retrieving bodies from the see how to do it and do besides, we spoke to some countries who will help us with the equipment search under the

rubble of the month. several countries, including germany, have offered aid, but then to divided country. there's so many obstacles in the way of getting help to those in need. we were there in our report of the debate by the libyan prime minister saying that he had postponed accepting international assistance. i asked, honest, i'll go much a live your analyst. what he made of that statement to it does struck me in many ways because it's, it's endemic of the systematic failures of governance that we've seen for a decade to rival governments that are perfectly happy to rule. over the rubble was that says it was land the reset, and i think it goes down to the core of what, what we've seen the image is coming. i have done the people today waking up, you know, tired faces model all over the place is 3 days without food, water is on the station without the supply lines because of the supply lines that

will keep. that's the, the 40000 that we know now displaced from the city, almost all of the population that will keep them getting, they need everything. of course, they need international search and rescue teams. they need technical experts that are going to help them try to recover and identify some of those that are missing by 40000 people need every bit of help that they can get. and so was the officials that we know particularly those that were responsible for the collapse of but there i'm going to be national. i mean, lots of those officials may have failed out. now, if they may be courageous citizens that are in your program, that having because they're the ones that driving the ambulances, the other ones that making the bread, that the ones that are trying to tie themselves, looking under the rubble that they need all the help they can get and so when it comes to what the, what the, what the level governments can do that presided over this crisis right decade. it's the man made negligence as the man made incompetence, inability to war. and there were in citizens when they had the time, the hours and days before the storm is the libya they had the time to be able to go in. one, evacuate, try and identify

a way in which to give the lives of this is it that not maybe not the city structures, but i live a 2nd shots and they have and that criminal negligence means that the white people to be the custodians of today's coordination. efforts that should be the red crescent, the expedited libya is operating with this courageous stuff. the active as the volunteer is the bright people that stood in the city. they need all the help they can get. yeah, and frankly, the local authorities, the why, the ministration in the west, they can step aside. they've done enough. well, well, let me jump in there. um, as you say, it's the ordinary citizens being left to pick up the pieces. do you think that there are they're going to be political consequences for how this response has been unfolding? i certainly think that needs to be a place most, i'm figuratively and literally off of events. and i think, you know, we've seen this in the region before. we saw the pool last and payment. i completely man made tragedy. that didn't need to happen. this is the very same case . criminal negligence, the guys back to the good that the resume has it maintained that, that, that damage of the 1980s, the l. n. a that has also been involved that will be much money that has been

involved in getting the public infrastructure and use them to be a destroying the roads, the strong buildings using it for scrap metal, then they would sell for pennies on the dollar unexplored kentucky for billions of dollars a year. that is the quality in the fiber of those individuals. the advertising. i'm here to help you and keep you safe when they spent the last 1010 years stealing from the public money, the public infrastructure and waging war against the runs, as well as the corner in the fiber of libyan on the electorate. but it's a committee, and if we have the elections are only several weeks ago, elections were blocked and then what could about elected council have done the experts i've done so. but i knew that there is to be an inquiry, the public investigation about what happened and then then the events that led to this. but there needs to be a drastic change. libby's of ones that elections for 10 years that had been blocked by you and process. the is which is not designed to allow for elections is designed to the, to create an appointed governments that will block collections. how do we know that?

because we did have states of them in the last decade, each of them i promised collections and they never delivered. so there's criminal culpability. on the local level, there was international complicity of the national level. and libyans are the ones, the blameless victims of this. they're picking up the pieces and they have to build it tomorrow, and they need to do that without the kind of criminal accomplices that have been the custodians of the last 10 years. well, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on the date of the news that is with the analyst and commodity. we really appreciate your time to thank you. so as we just heard, the political situation in libya is complicating rescue and 8 operations. we can take a look back now at the decades of political turmoil that have what the country being and the state it is in today. most of the video that in the, the notorious more market copy. so the rule of libya with chris must be lying his iron fist. but after holding his rivals in check for 42 years protests against his rule, 12 years ago escalated to

a nato supported rebellion value was killed by a militia group and libya turned chaotic. a host of militias found space to operate and despite western and back to elections meant to unite the country. rival governments split the western and eastern parts in 2014, each supported by outside governments and loaded with arms and ammunition. this is about how it looks now. the tripoli based government and the west has the backing of the united nations. the one in the east is where the flooding occurred and is headed up by military leader, probably about half car with back into the lakes of russia and jordan. prior to the flooding war and the lack of one central government has left a disjointed country watching its infrastructure and economy crumble. one that as

the un has noted, was the only country without a climate strategy to prepare for or head off events like this one. so i can change gears now and take a look at some other stories making world news headlines at this hour. rescue efforts continue in morocco. 5 days after the earthquake, he'll give at least $3000.00 people. their international crews have sent emergency responders into the mountains where bodies remain buried under dust and rubble and locals are organizing 8 campaigns to help those affected you chief or so the funder lion has underscore, her commitment of ambitious climate plan known as the greenville she pledge to strike a fair balance between the needs of the environment and business from the lion was speaking in her final state of the european union address for her term ends next year. and ukraine has staged what's thought to be its biggest attack on the home of rushes, black sea fleets, keith says it struck a submarine, a landing vessel and port infrastructure in the city of sto full and crimea,

which russia annexed in 2014. russia says ukrainian missiles hit 2 ships. 24 people were reported wounded. the north korea's leader kim jong on has pledged his full support for russia. at talks with president vladimir putin. hooton's says kim will be given a tour of russia's pacific fleet bass and everybody was stuck as part of a tour of defense facilities and rushes far east. north korean leader has held the summit as the start of a new era in bilateral relations. your helen raising his gloves to friendship. i should because i would like to mega ties. this is a future strengthening of cooperation and friendship between our countries, between the russian federation and the democratic people's republic of korea. the meeting between north korean leader kim jong on an russian president vladimir putin, wasn't able to meet 2 of appreciation to go to court together with

comrade bruton. we've just had an elaborate discussion about the middle tree and political situation on the korean peninsula and europe and have come to the conclusion that we need to further intensify strategic and tactical cooperation to ensure safety guarantee a long lasting peace, both in the region and the whole world the to lead is each becoming increasingly isolated on the global stage. but looking to show that they have each of those back . kim jones on the, on the line to ongoing support for russia, against what he called the thrust of german just forces against its silver into the united states as well on to that north korea could be preparing to supply russia with military equipment to boost its capabilities. and ukraine, the pen took a tour of rushes, the stuff me caused me to drive the country's most important role could launch

center on the less believe that north korea wants the russian advice on how to improve its own real kits and reconnaissance satellites. 40 different russian officials down play the fact that the stomach could be a cause for concern for other countries. but that will do little to come west and fee is about this flourishing friendship. that's bringing diary adults because she's a research fellow with verses proliferation of nuclear policy program and drawings us from london. welcome is what we're seeing here just to isolated leaders banding together or or should the west be concerned about this new cooperation? well, i think it so it's certainly a science fair desperation on the part of russia. that is holmes turned to korea to originally the state. uh,

probably i'd choose why it was a buttons this actually asked us to do you think it might be doing this is entirely surprising. turns to iran to supply it was what the issue and so is or sorry. so the, just so it is, it is concerning, certainly, and also, you know, there's a discharge. leaders are marketing. so as a prior state, what can north korea offer russia in terms of weapons as well? actually it has been historically a product export or whether it's to arrange countries um as expensive right now. these are things from smaller. 5 more bins to rockets as well, and it's also car rates on other countries. so depending on what

russia needs, a legal supply, the young don't actually know what the 3 megs is, will be if there will be one. so these are the 3 variables, fido good thing to know is that as i dropped off or it might be 2 or 3 minutes. 5 production, so each box tells me fashion capacities for russia as well. so even if it's not clear what the terms of a deal might look like, do we know what north korea is asking for? or we don't have any say that either. there are some suspend you nation summer for free on my lines. i think 1st and foremost works is very heavily sanctioned country is under extensive view one sections. virtually all 3, with some exceptions, arise permits waves with north korea so you can get shoes for

russia. food stops fuel fertilizer. i expect you to be interested in not the same time. there are certain terms and own there's no use military facilities, space capabilities that it hasn't been charged in advancing. so the us has said that he thinks that north korea might want to cooperate on style a technology with russia. and so we have the research and for me proliferation perspective, how concerning is this uh, new alliance to you? what do you make of that's or inquiry concerning russia can play is the one to an important so general form when it comes to sanctions vision. and as i said, the tree is a very home safe country, including when it comes to the importance of materials for its

heavier restrictions on that. and so it has to rely on other countries facility to transport out those guys into north korea, to facilitate the organizational financial corporate structure as necessary for germany. and russia is an advantage to call me and to share the landlord or korea. so it doesn't concern the russian course because you know, to watch him. so at the same time, anything that are 3 of the chairs from russia and gaining any kind of military technology or expertise from russia. there's no saying whether it might pass on to some some, some other customers. well, thank you so much for sharing your insights. that is daria adult supervisor research fellow with resist proof ration and new clear policy program. we really appreciate your time. now climate activists in russia

say they are assuming the government over its carbon emissions. one of those activists told you that these russian service that they had delivered their case to be, are appear in court of human rights after it was projected by russia supreme court . the kremlin has, in the past labeled a number of environmental n g o's, as for an agents or undesirable organizations, forcing them to close down their rational branches. but there are active as we're continuing the fight, an environmental activist, ego just lucian 6. and what are simple farmers, they were in sensor some 600 kilometers from moscow. his wife sonya carefully notes both its color and its smile. other activists carry out sport test on the samples. it shows fixes this level of chlorine ion and organic matter. this is the waste water from a nearby paper factory. just a few kilometers from the historical center of fans. not far away is a beach and local fish here. when we have to deal with them 1st interesting,

we do this every year for once they have a bar to monitor the composition of the war so much whether it is suitable for drinking or not. so the people who drink kids will they even is a fish from it until then they understand the danger. if the whole situation that is resulting from this factory were excluded, that wouldn't we may need equal active. this have had to leave russia since the beginning of the war. several and jewels has been labeled for an agents or undesirable organizations and forced to close, including the w, w. s. m, green peace. these activists are on teams, but they are well aware of their weeks. they are running boston, we seem to have no way of doing is homeless and legal or tomorrow that could be labeled extremism or terrorism. or excuse me, you can enter a despite that last year and they to each of their own independent use

environmental organization. echo stopped. it's founder i like so you fit can used to be part of the drug of a mental environmental movement. but good kicked out for testing waters next to these paper factory run by a local politician. but that did not stop him. he continues to me a total local rivers and dumps of the cost as well to add insurance and the owners of this dump a high ranking officials in the pens the range. i was thinking it kind of on that that the codes that cost cutting on waste separation and proper waste disposal and about the woods and then making huge profits on this landfill by minimizing that costs that stand moving to the equipment and their actions have already had an effect, last year, 12 unauthorized dump sites were cleared in, depends their region, and the paper factory was find around $5000.00 and for students. so what's your

treatment facilities? yes. oh gosh them. if every single, every region had just one or 2 effective local environmental organizations solving local problems, outcomes train would be a different place or was it the guy they believe the future of their regents lies in their hands and protecting nature is worth fighting for despite the risks you want to totally as williams for works for data, be use russian service and produce that report. you're going to be now in the studio. hi, natalia, one of the activists in your report, i thought was really interesting said, what we are doing is harmless and illegal, but tomorrow it could be labeled extremism or terrorism is, is he right to be concerned there? unfortunately, he is because right now, any type of activism. well, mostly political activism, or unto war activism is dangerous in russia, but also ecological activists are facing craig down only in the recent years.

they've been 4 times more arrest ofa ecological exhibition in the past years. and the environmental group of from crisis group said that in, in 202370 people summit to x to this has been and have seen some kind of pressure, other charges for pressed against me, arrested, or even physically attacked while now you also mentioned that russia has labeled groups like the w, w, f, and green pieces for an agents or undesirable organizations. what kind of reasons or evidence is the crumbling, giving for closing down their rush, their rush operations? well, official official reason to labor when peace, undesirable was that it interfered in the internal affairs of the state or was engaged in until russian propaganda whether to for w w f. they said it's post which you just read through their economics. fewer i mean, you have to know that before this organizations has been extinguished for 30 years and even closely cooperating with russian authorities,

there were some projects together they received but, and then for funds, there were some, you know, procedure project like protection or, you know, lepers nicole cause of some stuff and so i believe they've become, you know, spies and the threat to the government. so this came out of left field for them in some sense. i'm wondering how important it is for the kremlin to protect the environment, doesn't recognize the urgency of curtailing climate change, considering extreme weather events that we're seeing that are affecting the entire world. well, this events are also affecting russia, and we're seeing a lot of in a wildfire is and slides and the old permafrost melting. so rush is no exception when it comes to climate change. and on paper it dies because russian also promises to come down the carbon emissions by 2030. but in reality, when it's promised you that on the same time in advance of basically many environmental organizations from the ground and prevents them to actively, actively doing their job. and there's also because rushes to be producer of,

you know, oil and gas and economic, political speaking is more, and it's better to ignore the climate change for that matter than to pay closer attention to it right now. and what about this case that's filed against the kremlin, at the european court for human rights to be that that's gonna actually result in any change in russia or russia is not a part of your work in the course of human rights anymore. and it was thrown in last september by this, after this actually managed to try the proceedings even before that. so that might be one of the last cases against rational that actually will have this binding effect. but whether russia will actually do something about it is that it's another, some other issues. but those active as to think of their actions matter because a government in russia kind of venture, we change, but crime, it's an emergency in climate change. we'll stay there. well, thank you so much for bringing us up to speed there. that is natalia samantha from the w as russian service. we appreciate you taking the time today. thank you. and before we go, let's change gears. check in on the mtv via may awards,
