the, the, your, what you need to be new coming to live from birth, land, thousands, remain missing and living on days after massive flooding in libya and government ministers as he fears the death told me, double with more than $5000.00 bodies already recovered much of the city of day or night is destroyed after torrential rains caused to damage traversed. also coming up on the show, north korea's kim jong. fletcher is full support. moscow during talks with president vladimir putin in russia's r e n e u k 4. so the funder lions for us is our commitment when bishop,

i'm at target in for state of the union address to the parliament, the clear. richardson welcome and libya, the death toll from catastrophic flooding has risen to over 5000 people. and officials say that number is expect to decline even further as bodies that were swept out to sea wash baca shore storm. daniel hit libby after barreling across the mediterranean. it caused floods which swept away entire neighborhoods in eastern coastal areas. the destruction is worst and there are no where to dance collapsed, wiping out a quarter of the city. thousands of people are missing, and among the survivors, tens of thousands are now homeless. a therapy in union says it's sending aid to libya, but relief efforts are being complicated by the fact that libya's 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 burying the dead on the funds. we're mass burying bodies yesterday at the neighboring hospital on the she had area and it was about a 1010 people, including women, children, i'm in and elderly. all of the of the there now 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 that there is no, no generally heard that the dam had burst, and water had flooded the area which had people were asleep. and no one was ready

in saying it's all 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 now 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. 7, we had to postpone all demands for assistance in wisconsin with the exception of crucial cases. i think we sort of, we, we said we don't need food, water medicine or even man power. and that's what we need. his specialist is it, we need help retrieving bodies from the see how to do it. besides,

if we spoke to some countries who will help us with the equipment search under the rubble low or the last 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. for her, there in our report to live in prime minister up to a 100 debate by saying that he had postponed accepting international assistance. i asked olivia analyst and also commodity. what he made of that 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 walls that says it was less underneath it and i think it goes down to the core of what, what we've seen, the image is coming up that now people today, waking up in a tired faces, month, 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 $40000.00 that we know displaced from the city, almost off the population that will keep them going. 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 the day. i'm going to be national. i mean, lots of those officials may have fail down there. there may be courageous citizens that are in your program that haven't because they're the ones that are driving the ambulances. the other ones that making the bread, that the ones that are trying to tie themself out, looking under the rubble, but 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, trying to identify

a way in which to give the lives of the citizens at that. now maybe not the city structures but the lives a 2nd shots, and they haven't. criminal negligence means that they don't the white people to be the custodians of today's cool of the nation efforts. that should be the red crescent, the expedited libya is operating with as 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 that the other day or 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 a completely man made tragedy that didn't need to happen. this is the very same case. criminal negligence that goes back to the good that the machine has it maintained that, that, that damage of the 1980s,

the l. n. a that has also been involved that would be much money that has been involved in not seeing the public infrastructure in east and they'd be a destroying the ro. busy woods, the strong buildings using it for scrap metal and they would sell for pennies on the dollar and exposure to touchy for billions of dollars a year. that is the quality in the fiber of those individuals that today saying i'm here to help you and keep you safe when they spend the last 1010 years stealing from a lot of the public money, the public infrastructure and waging war against differences in the corner in the fiber of libya as an elected particularly. and if we had the elections or the several weeks ago elections were blocked and then that what could about elected council have done the experts i've done. so what i need is this to be an inquiry, the public investigation about what happened that night and the events that led to this. but there needs to be a drastic change. louisa once it 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 on the appointed governments that will block elections. how do we know

that? because we did have states of them in the last decade, each of them i promised that x rays and they never delivered. so there's criminal culpability. on the local level, there was international complexity 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 that tomorrow. and they need to do that without the kind of criminal accomplices that had 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, a nice of commodity. we really appreciate your time. this is where you take a look. now it's another world news headlines. rescue efforts continue in morocco. 5 days after an earthquake killed nearly 3000 people. international crews have sent emergency responders into the mountains, or bodies remain buried under dust. and russell locals are organizing 8 campaigns to help those affected firefighters and indonesia. meanwhile, are battling large scale pete fires on the island of sumatra. lack of water has hampered efforts to keep the planes under control. such fires occur regularly in

united states as well into that north korea could be preparing to supply russia with military equipment to boost its capabilities in ukraine the pen took a tour of rushes, the stuff in the customer dry and the country's most important rocha launch center . analysts believes that north korea wants russian advice on how to improve its own real kits and reconnaissance satellites. 40 different russian officials down play the fact that the summit could be a cause for concern for other countries. but that will do little to come, west and fee is about this flourishing friendship here to force the funder line has underscored our commitment to the ambitious climate plan known as the european green deal funded land. lot of the legislative package and our final state of the european union address before her term as european commission president and next

a fair outcome for future generations to live under healthy planet to upset john johnny saw, although was impacted with decent jobs. and the saw. 5 them promise to leave no one behind, but not everyone was happy with her message. the queen said after the speech, they doubt whether funded line is still committed to moving forward quickly with the green deal. for me, the big question now is going to be and we at a stage where there is just implementation of what has already been decided or is the commission also ready to propose something other than organizing conferences. all the groups and paula moons wanted to hear more from fund a lie in on inflation, the growing housing prices and rising prices in europe. there is a big silence in the speech and that to have to refer, which is the absence of, of measures of, of, of even a vision, but of measures of increased measures for those that are suffering in europe. from
