the, the business, the w news live from the land, thousands of still missing and libby a days off to catastrophic flooding organ. 5000 people have died in dona and government officials say the actual number may be full time. so i, a lot to the city has been destroyed of to, to run full brains, caused to them to but will say coming up, the code is

shaken by off to schultz days. officer, a major, quite killed. thousands trim is interrupt rescue as they search for survivors. in remote mountain percentages, following best, thomas and rushes far east, lot of it posted next, sent an invitation from kim to jump on to visit north korea. the i'm a new campus mckinnon. good to have you with us. well, sar sees in eastern libya say that they say as many as 20000 people could be dead. following massive flooding in the mediterranean coastal city of darnell, the death toll currently stands out more than 5000 people, south life images taking the full and off to the dissolves to show the scale of the devastation in dire need of to, to dams, bus during torrential, rain, many roads have been washed away,

making it difficult to aid work has to reach affected areas as a child pulled from the modern rubble. all that's left in this pos of done. a lot of her father survived the floods, but his helpless as his doors. his body is recovered. thousands of people have been killed and yet thousands more still missing. as teams search the wreckage for bodies. this is a disaster. my sister for children or grandchildren, a total of 11 people, the disaster in every sense of the word. my nephew, my people, my family, the facing the depths of the loved ones. tens of thousands of people in diana and surrounding areas have also been

left without homes, food, clean water or medicine. and anger is mounting. use of mismanagement, had left the cities infrastructure crumbling. the warrant due authorities for weeks know years that the dam had corrected it and needed maintenance. we said that nobody to listen to us. and now the whole of durn is flooded. more than a decade of conflict and no central government has left much of libya's infrastructure and neglected. the un recognized administration based in tripoli does not have jurisdiction over the flood huge areas. the east is ruled by a rival administration headed by military leda holly for hosta, for legend, attempted to in 2014. why add to tell you how to cut off by what the some aid and for and rescue teams have arrived. but with the country divided and roads washed away, international health is struggling to reach those in need. nothing is working here

. no national authorities, nothing. have a look and do something about it. we're experiencing a great injustice to many survivors in done. i have been left to dig through the mud and debris themselves, looking for their loved ones. the search for bodies has also moved out to see when many of the 1000 still missing were washed away. environmental, ne libby, a response team that the norwegian refugee council, i asked him what he's hearing from his stuff in the area is devastated by the southern good morning. i mean, it is the state of shock that people are going through the, for these have not being fully retrieved. i mean, there are still a dead bodies lying on the street and on children then, you know, and, and parents have to walk around the city with, with fuzzies,

everywhere to the scene of destruction. and then lots of people could not retrieve any of that, belong things. so they have nothing on them. they spent a full night last night on the street is some many open some you know, if, if lucky enough could, could find a dry spot to and the roads to up and cause the, uh, also, you know, the, the main lifeline for the city. so yeah, close, i mean, i think we're expecting the roads to start to gradually open, hopefully by that needs a log repair and the infrastructure has been heavily damaged. the needs of massive insight done. uh there is no enough food. there's no fresh drinking water and local um you know, local valencia is all doing after things they can around the clock to, to help this population. yes. you talked about the number of bodies lying

around with, with so many big bodies being recovered. now can you talk to us about the dangers of, of disease and how that's being managed? that is what we are rolling of a as if now, i mean in this come up, continue as the bodies have, have to have been there for a full day. now but rescue workers say they don't have enough for the backs to, to take people and to evacuate these dead bodies and buried them properly. this could, could spell. a disaster is a different level and different time for these people. i mean, apple and unwarrantable and diseases are really risk as of now, um, are you health? has it lack of medication hospitals or was o not functioning in an and had to be evacuated to hospitals around around the town. and the saw also over section

overwhelmed. so medication and medical equipment and also the search and rescue equipment. our top priority for the, for, for us to and the age workers at the moment, libya has 2 rival governments. we all hearing that they are now starting to work together to help flood victims. but to what extent is this actually aging relief efforts, or are you seeing progress being made? i mean, is it for us for rent or see which, which has been in libya for 6 years now we, we don't have issues. we do a crate across the country, including and then cause the very close to town and we're how we're ready to um, to mobilize on teams to go to job on the s kayla fall response. i think the main problem here is the lack of results is we have seen encouraging signs from, from all across the board. everyone wants everyone's in everyone's interest to,

to support these people. and to provide some relief. however, their resources are still very, very low, and it is very um, you know, little age coming in and, you know, into libya let alone into into ton of the areas in fact. so i think now it's time for the international committee to just throw its weight behind, you know, behind looking for them to is behind know oakland g o's. and joe's the working around the clock and provide the essential funding that could save essentially save lives and save children who are now st without. without the home buyer. i'm from the norwegian refugee council. thank you so much for talking to us. thanks for your time. thanks i to tomorrow. okay. now where rescue efforts are still continuing off the last friday's us quake the sofa known to have killed many 3000 people. and i'll have to show shook

a village near the epi center on wednesday evening. as an emergency responders dug through rubble, more soldiers and 8 workers, making their way to remote rural areas or entire villages have been wiped out. as far as he's all working to reopen, damaged, and blocked roads, but hopes of finding survive is on now dwindling. 19 year old in mind and your father, abraham walked together through the village, has been devastated by the disaster. the mine is a student in the city affairs. she returned home up to the earthquakes truck to find out that 10 of her relatives were killed by the quake. among them was a month, 6 year old brother, who was about to go to school. good to me, to my brother was a very kind boy. all the neighbors knew him. they cried over him when he died

because whenever anyone often for something or to do them a favor, never refuse across the region. in remote villages, like mine's rescue workers continued their search for survivors. they have stepped up their efforts as the chances of finding someone to live a fading fast on the good of the people under the rubble. and we're going to the we haven't managed to find everyone gets a while ago and the telephone rang that we didn't find the person cells and some volunteers from america and around the world have answer deplete for how one of their tasks is loading too many tiring aid onto trucks that will deliver it to earthquake victims just to what i most of the there's a great solidarity was many people helping one another. it's incredible. i'm moved when i see people in every streets, even the poorest individuals giving

a kind of oil, a packet of sugar with a genuine desire to assist as a country with the be called any remarkable generosity. please don't hesitate to continue offering help from all around the world. despite her grief, in mind has also joined the efforts in her village, helping to organize food and water deliveries. she says that's about all she can do to keep them going after the terrible loss. to know how many times i played and run was my friends here, my friend, he but also died. everything is gone. it's a feeling shared by many americans whose lives have been shattered by the disaster that's cross straight to the w corresponding, i mean s e 2 is in myra cache. i'm in a given the off the shots. can you give us a sense of the situation that today to well, in mark cash,

the situation is still extremely in tens. a lot of people have gathered here, including aid workers. international aid workers are still arriving to come health and the coordination. so just really it's still in full force here. a lot of people are trying to get a into these mountain villages that are worth effective. now the city itself was also effective, but that has more or less than stabilize the some of the buildings are still have to have collapsed and there's rubble skills here. but really the death and destruction is up and those mountain villages. and we've seen a supermarket of an almost empty because of the desire by locals here to buy groceries and send them along with aid workers. and so there's really a sense of solidarity here, but also a sense of panic that it's becoming too late to find the missing people under the rubble. so given how difficult it is to get to those remote areas, i mean,

what can you tell us about the states of the age deliveries that mean is stuffed guessing through as it is getting through. but slowly, it's hard to, it's overstate how difficult it is to reach these mountain villages, sometimes of settlements or just a few families along a winding mountain road that has had rocks come over it. now there is one village in e, in colorado. uh that did see uh over the last day or so. um a finally coming in a lot of people, there were joy overjoyed to find the have contact with the world again. so aid was able to reach this village which was completely destroyed. but somebody, one of the teams that was up there, told us that there are 8 more villages along the road after that that is still block. so some of these places, after since friday have still not been contacted by aid workers. and just to remind you, these are mountain this regions are also is known for its beautiful weather by tourists

. but the mountains are not the same. there's a rain predicted tomorrow. temperatures get down to 10 degrees celsius for 50 degrees fahrenheit at night. so it is a dire situation for people who just don't have shelter and food, or even running water, and some of the, the government, the american government, and so far, and you've requested assistance from full country. spain could talk the united arab emirates. i'm the u. k. is it's under pressure to reach out to other countries to help. i mean how the americans feel about that so far. the foreign governments like germany, a france that have offered aid but have this aid has not been requested by the american government. have been pretty tight lipped. they've said that them, it's up to morocco a to decide whether they take that aid or not in the american government has as well not really responded to the accusations that it has been too slow and accepting for an aide. and the american governments explanation for this is that

because of the particular situation, the disaster situation here where they have lots of a, they just can't get it to the villages. they were worried about creating a problem that so that's the justification they're using. we're saying that we're only inviting a few countries to help us. we're coordinating and from the government, we're not gonna let you into the, coordinating this so they can handle this, that the locals know best. and that it's not the amount of aid that they need. where others, it's what it is, is the coordination, and they don't want to add a problem to a problem is what they said. but of course, a lot of aid workers here on the ground who have experience and other 8 areas and other disaster areas have said that they're used to the un coming in and i'm seeing a lot bigger, a reaction to a disaster like this man, thanks so much let's, i mean a safer pulsing from narrow cash. the media is holding peace. keeping drills with us forces this tensions roy's with

neighboring azerbaijan, over the dispute sitting a go on a car, a back on slave for 8 months now. as a by john has blocks a humanitarian passage called the election car. it will, that's the only road that links the going on car, back with a media of 2000 russian peacekeepers. a failed to keep that cory door open. russian president, vladimir, susan, said they're all quote, no problems with armenia, but when dw theory refreshed, so travel to the region, he found that all menia is turning away from russia and is now looking towards the west. bushed and po, mainly russian influence can be found on every corner here over a year, as long as they are meaning and capital z as in our russian restaurants. and you can of the he has it awesome language and no one who actually has historically been conceited. at close political l i and friend off our medias about the vets is

changing on the streets of yet of i'm you only hate good things about the old and every russians. thousands of them live here now. many came after the war and ukraine started. young russian men fled to the country before they could be sent to war. they didn't need a visa to enter on media. might put a new label to what to do, cuz we welcomed with people with open arms who fled perkins regime and who fled the war and ukraine. no, we could now distinguish very clearly between the people in russia and the russian rulers. russian rollers are evil. they are evil in a way that hums us and constantly puts us under pressure here. a thought epithet. and then as does it to understand with the change of hearts comes from diabetes depending on takes us to nicole in a kind of a region that both on media and neighboring as a by john,

have been fighting over for decades. 3 years ago. this struggle escalated into more of a time yet. yvonne was hoping for minute tree aid from russia, but nothing came of it as it by john gain control. the only union government has since recognized as advice on sovereignty or even a going to come a boss. but the ceasefire has been fragile for 9 months as a by john has blocked access to the region from the army union side virus i quoted lushin covered all now gar, no car box starts ride behind me. we can't go any further as that is the road is closed. all of us there is also when an absolute state of emergency begins that is, according to eye witnesses. the also gave us this footage from the capital of nicole and kind of a long lines outside stores, setting russians, bread,

empty shelves, and pharmacies, and grocery stores. we are told that only ambulances are allowed through people, a cuts off from the outside world. a back on the of a side this age convoy has been waiting to pass since july, armenians say russian troops stationed in the region. but they only watch and allow the blockade to continue. as advised on officials say that is a lie, they say it is possible to ends from boxy one best side. according to them, there is no blockade on this picture. so the ink cartridge, you really like to have an impact to effect chip that approach because we are living in the area of the fake news and this information unfortunately. and we also unfortunately see edits of elements olds in a stage activities. and how does the russian respond to the accusation? it's abandoned on me, and the president putin claims is the country's own fault. what's,

what's your scope of, what are we supposed to say about education? if armenia accepts and they go into colorado, back as part of as a by john, because it's not our fault is that imagine that mature limit for david stefan. yeah . and putins words, sound cynical, he's convinced moscow is deliberately weakening on media, which is war against ukraine has any strengthened his belief that at that point it showed the lights are cisco. once we understood what russia really wants and ukraine, we knew we had to commit to ukraine because they are fighting for all of us today. oh, great. if key calls then and you've so union with a manager to correct. that's one person is hoping for tomorrow. at the point, jessica is if it's not based upon the on believes his country must seek new allies in order to completely detach itself from russia and uri rossetto the file that report joins us now from re getting latvia. because dw is banned from reporting in

russia. high that you're right now, i mean, these relations with russia seemed to be sour and then now holding joint military exercises with the us. can you explain to us why on media is seemingly turning its back on russia? what most recognizes with readings are medians. as americans are excellent, nothing the use it has been held for us and to no one picked them up to pension. prevent box is easy to get. everything is different because of basic data. for the 1st time, our media to use to, to participate in all of the military exercises named with russia. we've seen the framework of the joint military outlines of the so called collective treat organization led by ross and what's more years on has even the threats and to withdraw from face me with the red lines with russia. there's means the dentist and military drills with americans now and fabric reassigned to russia a signal at turning away from oscar. why? because russia is basically no liberal, texting power for media, but these are all that interested in close cooperation with us that by johnny's who,

in turn, corporate very close, give it to turkey, is our meetings fee executives that 3 against one russian and about john to work against our media, that's why they're all based on looking for a new powerful, false player that came across quite strongly in your report. these armenian says that russia could ton from a protecting pilot into an aggressive so how just decide all of those his as well. i don't think the plans to attack on me, but least at least look now i will not yet. uh, but the political relations between the 2 countries are really not is the best on. yeah, at the moment this, despite the fact that both leaders armenian prime minister, bush and young and the russian president, booting the claim executive officer bawked last week for examples of one number of remarkable steps taken by the armenians. so that greatly and got to moscow remedies, depression young's wife travel to craig and then to deliver your money. terry and h to the grant is for the 1st time. secondly, armenia has announced that the 2 bill rectify 0 statute,

according to each voting could be arrested there. as a reaction to this is our meaning of buffalo was someone's to the front of ministry law school where she was protested. now the last of this is of course not process of war against our media, but most guys obviously no longer interested in a strong our media. ok, and you reported a new a piece, but in a go on a car back is blocked off. we now know that there is a car door to as a by sean and rushes sent aid through that. right. is that helping people in the own place? what's the situation the right to? but so far, only one truck has to leave at 15 tons of 8. of course it helps people in the box, even though it's nothing compared to how much they really need. they're seemingly bucks. the problem is not as a quantity on the a bunch of the road from where the truck came. it came from isolated by john, and that is exactly what is our medium leaving the garden, a part of box here. the thing is, is the cost of the trucks with 8, coming through with this open today from us or by john will. costs will be arriving

there by john johnny police who take their man and put them in prison and visited by john. because most of men living in the corner corner box fault against visited by john in the last awards and code seal ridiculous beef, rabbits treated as criminals. i spoke about this with the refugees from the box and get it on wednesday. head has been used over this, i wrote being opened to they became really sat also as a bunch on that objects of the sphere as and found it. and promised amnesty. this doesn't convince their media. utilities here in rochester reporting from greek i think so. i'm out here now, north korean media is reporting that the russian president, vladimir, who said, has accepted an invitation to visit the internationally isolated nation. the invitation was extended by north korean leader, kim jong. and also he held extensive talks with president person in russia's fall east. on wednesday, a date has been announced for the visit yet. best on this in russia,

the 2 leaders agreed to further strength and strategic ties. the u. s. and south korea see it, the north could supply alms to russia, which is used up much of its munitions stokes. and it's war against you, craig hellam, raising his loss to friendship. i would like to make it because this is a future strengthening of co operation and friendship between all countries between the russian federation and the democratic people's republic of korea is 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 in 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 into 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 try and the country's most important role could launch center on the less believe that north korea wants russian advice on how to improve its own rockets and reconnaissance satellites for russian officials down play the fact that the summit could be a cause for concern for other countries. but that will do little to comm weston fee

is about this flourishing friendship. the that is all we have time for our european affairs magazine focused on here is up next. i mind you keeps mckinnon. thanks for your company. i'll facing the

issue. lee ann from south direct navy is i'm the boarded lines has all but disappeared until now. which people seem to hear it runs is reinstating its board is what will that mean virginians focus on us on

d. w into the conflict. so i worry about the will of a west to continue to what needs to go. strong was so my guess is ways to make those for my deputy supreme commander in europe. i mentioned sure there's a lingering field, but somehow we can go back to some sort of states of credit to russia. that is not going to happen to have a conflict in 60 minutes on dw, the how many platforms can you handle single chain usually without having the feeling that it's just too much you might see me.

how much can we do simultaneously? multitasking these, the modern because if we do too much, we paid it all wrong. we messed things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage, humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube, v w documentary, the very one welcome to focus on europe this week with me live show. it's come paying season in poland and the ruling national conservative party could lose its majority . so part of its strategy to attract, voters has been to spread fear about refugees. the ones they have targeting of

those trying to across the border from bella roost into poland and the.
