it is 4 weeks know years that the dumb had corrected it and needed maintenance. we said that nobody listened to us, and now the whole of, during the slide it to the situation in the nearby tentative sousa is similarly grim, more than a decade of conflict, and no central government have left much of libby's infrastructure, neglected with the sole mountain road that links it to the town of shaw hot collapse and the floods in the course even to know what the issue is and build those. those are about the general electricity company must intervene. we're being without electricity some saturday, we don't. but the water company has to get involved, they have to come to fix the drain pipe. so, but walk up some aid and folder in risk. you teams have arrived in libya, but with the country divided and the roads washed away. international help is struggling to reach those in need and nothing is working here. no national authorities, nothing. have a look and do something about it. we're experiencing a great injustice and don't know,

many survivors have been left to dig through the mud and debbie themselves looking for their loved ones. the search for bodies as also moved up to see what many of those and still missing were washed away. i'm a buyer, i'm is with the norwegian refugee console who's been trying to get a team to for the durn. i asked in earlier about the challenges the aid workers are facing a good morning. i mean it is proving very, very difficult. it's not actually possible to get a or gets out of done all. there's just one or 2 rooms. i'll just set a imagine before this. so you know that i used to have sort of the roads out of it. and now it's showing me. yeah. you know, there's only 102 available cities. i mean you can see images as long, long shot for catching traffic. so thing, terry hall is that, but the sign get to where around the streets just uh set up the scene of the

children booking him on that. but the, that book is that cannot be picked up cuz there's no enough body bags in the, in the city rescue teams are on the full day, a brief of search and rescue operations. it's. it's now you know, any, any, any bomb any by the pounds. the lightest goes to the and the lady sadly help is finding a way gradually people says, i can just find all the codes that are at the, you know, a time of the numbers of levitas. it says add to the stating situation and you know, you need to wait at the well behind these people. desperate, desperate indeed, with such a high death tell, tell us about the dangers of disease outbreaks. this is the i hope disability. i mean, without, obviously being social is to say, shall about this. i mean, there is

a genuine in the test disease rose pretty easily in such circumstances. several factors that are fast, obviously that it is also itself has destroyed almost full functioning. i want to networks. there's no fresh water available in, in the city it's uh, there's not was the power outages selection and all of that. i know. so the fact that these shelters were lucky enough to stay standing actually on down her stay. a huge number of people say, imagine, you know, dozens of people in and, and a small house or small shops that mean that would definitely come to you to a foster spread basket the spread of disease and form war to form disease. and we have this from, from other scenarios, from other situations, you know, in the, we have, you know, a colorado rates on certain zones, you know,

a settings where there's not enough functioning preparations. and yeah, yeah, that is definitely upset with the probably the biggest stress that we are facing now. can you give us a sense of the scale of the recovery efforts? this is going to be a very, very long journey for libyans to full, for the use have shown enough resilience. i have to say to overcome appliances, conflict and displacement. this is going to fit them back years. it's gonna take months program to probably, you know, come to tens with this shock. it's a really, i mean, the children who will now be displaced without home, without your school, without friends, without a parent. and you know everything with these traumas it's,

it's got a big fact, very talk memories for these children as well. this is, some people have been just slaves before they are, they dislikes the game in the living. it displacement is such a harsh reality and flimsy tense. and facing the way around them is the speaking of whether we, we are around, you know, a winter now with or is it around it for there? and it's going to be a very close, long wait for these people. that's why i just want to say that so on is as you know, international rich countries, how the supports for libya and you know, they have to offer that to gain truly devastating. what's happened there? i'm a buyer, i'm from the norwegian refugee cancel. thank you for being on details here today. thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. fire has go

to hundreds of shops and a market in bangladesh as capital duyka, no casualties were reported from the blaze which broke out in the early hours of the morning before shots opened. fires are not uncommon. intensity populated duyka, which has grown rapidly in recent years to taiwan, says china has flown 68 war plains and sent it 10 navy vessels into areas around the self governing island. officials said some of the vessels and their craft detected within a 24 hour period. we're heading for chinese military exercises in the western pacific. china regards the self governed island as part of its territory. we are north green media has reported that russian president vladimir putin has accepted an invitation to visit the internationally isolated nation. the invitation was extended by north korean leader came at joan on after he held extensive talks with president putin in russia's far east. no date has been announced for the visit.

at the island of the attorney, an island of line producer is under a state of emergency. after a record number of migrants arrived within 24 hours with large, he's already transferred. many of the more than 6000 arrivals to sicily, the reception center online producer is designed to hold only 400 people. more than a 100 boats packed to his loan and 6 and a half 1000 people in just over 24 hours. it's more than double the small items, permanent population numbers this attacks and the coast guards capacity to into set smuggled as wrestles and pushing and tell you in 5 minutes to georgia. maloney is pledge to end irregular immigration to the test with such a politically charged issue. the human aspect to cross submitted to radian migration can be easily overshadowed. many has spent thousands of years for the

perilous journey across the water. the thoughts when these human beings many of whom are still in the teens, arriving near that, they find themselves reduced to a missed to, to stick. they become numbers to be shuffled around by bureaucrats. they become the light, is probably going to be squabbled either by politicians while those who are on the ground, those carrying for these we're young travelers do the best i can to ease the situation we try to get so come forward with i to give that maybe kelly. ringback you got a there, we try to give that information and choose the closer and then they go towards the. busy land producer is the southern most parts of it today and the long standing flash point in the discussion of the migration. and while the lease agencies do the utmost infrastructure on such

a small island is simply unable to cope. but a valuable number serge, we are more or less with the number you had in 2016, which was an exception for a rival and insurance. what seems to be a big difference? now? we do have a government more. we can get a more, i'm di, migration gemini, has now suspended a voluntary deal to take in my goods landing. and it today in france announced tough a new meshes, aimed stopping migrants coming over the italian border. these approaches could well be emulated by other northern countries. many of the new arrivals hate. this is the start of a new and back to life for them in europe, pushing brussels with under a year of until the parliamentary elections. it could mean the thought of yet another political stand off of the migration. i don't use christine ones was

following the story from brussels for us. and i asked earlier, why so many people have arrived in this 24 hour period? probably the italian authorities have said that they'd been some rough c conditions in the past few days, which created a possible nick in tennessee a. this is where we're seeing most of the migration flows coming from and in the recent days, windows where the conditions improved. it appears the smugglers who had been holding people back, essentially, since people out resulting in, in the numbers that we are seeing overwhelming. this very small island. pablo which has one reception center for migrants which can house little more than 400 people. hence the situation on the ground that is absolutely at k or 6. that little island overwhelmed with people at the moment. now it leads premier george, i'm alone. he has taken a hard line on a regular migration. now france and germany have renamed on

a promise to take in migrants arriving on natalia and shores. so white this change of mind. so i'm just going to give you a little bit of backstory about. what's that arrangement to us about under what's called the european voluntary solidarity mechanism? it's a complicated way to say i. e u. member states would volunteer to take some asylum seekers from the 1st arrival countries. keep them for one year and then return them to the country that they 1st arrived. and the idea behind this arrangement was to relieve the pressure off of for the countries when they are overwhelmed with arrivals. for that one year period. germany now says that if he is refusing to take migrants back because under a regulation which is a dublin little asylum, a application must happen in the country that you 1st arrived in. so germany saying that officer, this initial period, if he is refusing to take people back, hence it is no longer going to be positive pacing in that mechanism. this really is

the latest back and forth that we're seeing stand off, if you will, between northern countries who they, who themselves sale, overwhelmed germany says it is overwhelmed with the number of 1st time assign them applications that it can cope with the numbers of people that people who are meant to be applying for assign them in the 1st country they arrive and this would be it's a legal grease or a 1st arrival country should be going back. but if he is refusing to take people, so but christine maloney isn't the only theater to argue that turned to the rose place and an excessive burden of border nations. is this essentially proof that the european voluntary solidarity plan is dead in the water? this, it suddenly looks that way if, if their accusations between the member states off the other not holding out on its end of the bulk. and so it is position in refusing to take people back is to say, we'll overwhelmed. and we would like for other countries to assist with the load. they of course have been other issues in between that,

but this is randy if the saying and then of the board of countries saying we're simply overwhelmed. we need most on to dias. he but of course, the rules, all the rules on migration, all of that and the sign of application must happen in the 1st arrival country. so with this kind of a stand with, it almost looks that way because you need other member states to voluntarily take people into their territory. house them until such time is that expires and send them back. but if nobody's willing to take them back and nobody wants to take people in, it's not to you how this agreements can be going on any further. thanks, christine dw, corresponding christine ones are in brussels. now to morocco, where rescue efforts are still continuing after last fridays, or it's quite that so far known to us killed nearly 3000 people and after shock, shock, a village near the epi center on wednesday evening as emergency responders, dogs through trouble,

more soldiers and aid workers are making their way to remote rural areas where entire villages of the lifetime to the parties are working to reopen, damaged, and blocked roads. but hopes of finding survivors are fading. a 19 year old in mind and your father abraham, walk together through the village has been devastated by the disaster. the mind is a student in the city affairs, to return home to the earthquake struck, 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 to me where my brother was a very kind boy. all the neighbors knew him. they cried over him when he died. because whenever anyone austin, for something or to do them a favor,

never refused across the region, any remote village is like him ons rescue workers continue their search for survivors. they have stepped up their efforts as the chances of finding someone to live feeding fast on the good of the people under the rebel. and we can start looking at what we have in mind is 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 loaded into many towering 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 moved when i see people in every street, 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 and a remarkable generosity. please don't hesitate to continue offering help from all around the world. despite her grief to mine 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 up to 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 . our correspondent i'm in is if in morocco gave us this update on developments in the worst affected regions to well in mar, attached the situation is still extremely in tents. 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 aid into these mountain villages that are worse effected. now the city itself was also affected, but that has more or less been stabilized. the some of the buildings are still have to collapse and there's robust goes here. but really the death and destruction is up in 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. it's hard to, it's overstate how difficult it is to reach these mountain villages. sometimes a settlement. so just a few families along a winding mountain road that has had rocks come over it. now there is one village

in me 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 mountainous 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 in some i mean is it for reporting there? let's take a look and i would some more world news stories. please say at least 56 people have

died in a fire in our apartment block in vietnam's capital highway. dozens of others were injured in the plays which started in the parking area of the building police of detained the buildings owner. accusing him of violating fire safety regulations, police and argentina have seized over $290.00 books after reading a publishing house and border situs authorities arrested the owner who was printing the anti semitic publications out of home displaying nancy symbols violates anti discrimination to those in argentina, which is home to latin, america's largest jewish population and 2 of got us done now where the taliban imposed severe restrictions across. i've gone society after it seized power at 2 years ago. those rules include a strict bond on music that night. many musicians to flee the country, but now a musical exchange project is affording some of them the chance to play alongside
