this week the, this is the, the news live from the libya, struggles with the optimal of catastrophic floods is now for more than 11000 people . died off to torrential brain, the 2 demons near the city of darren, after the sou nami, like so many bodies remain in the ruins, raising phase of disease spreading. also coming out from the program, picking up the pieces off the last weeks, devastating us like in morocco,

those whose homes were destroyed in the plate and now struggling to make due and make shift shelters wherever they can easily appeals to the use to help to deal with a record number of migrants on the island of lovely executive, a 7000 people has landed in braces, days overwhelming. the local service, the menu is mckinnon. welcome to the program. libby is red. crescent says that more than $11000.00 people have died and floods in the libyan city of there and about death toll has yet to be verified in libby and officials say that it is still likely to rise large parts of the coastal fish. he was swept away off to, to run for rain, caused to dams to bust. now there are concerns about this of disease with many

bodies lying among the ruins. people search for bodies along the beach and the hard hit the city of dirt or not. after torrential rains, burst dams on sunday, unleashing a torrent of water down the river. bed that by 6, the port city in eastern libya, washing away multi story buildings and sleeping families inside nicholas minnesota . we heard a large bang as anyone who is awake and for sure must have heard of the deadline was it was unbelievable. you. everybody could hear it. when we went outside, there was no more in the city. it had been raised to the ground and was gonna let you know i'm on. so there's hodges, my black. hundreds of bodies covered in bags and blankets. line during those mud cake streets, a waiting mass burials as traumatized in grieving residents. search for missing loved ones. the city had no evacuation plans many say they didn't know they were in

danger until they heard the explosive sound of the dam rupturing. leticia and then we're still pulling bodies from houses and from under the rubble got up to this moment and i'm not savvy. and we weren't stop digging to show them and talk to the years of civil war, intense political and territorial divisions, and poorly maintained infrastructure. less the country vulnerable to storm. daniel, according to the world and media were logical organizations is yes so, so that's, that's the conclusion is that the state would have been a normally operating maybe unless it got service i think would have the suit, the warnings and then and also the emergency maintenance mentors with this would have been able to carry out the bike racing of the, of the people and their because have a lot of the avoid the most of the human human capital. so of course we cannot fully avoid the pick on know mccloskies but the but we have also many much that

those ppos will cease by having proper services in place. libby and authorities are vowing to look into whether human error played a part in the catastrophe, volunteers, and 8 groups. both local and international are on the ground supporting victims. european countries including france, germany, and finland are providing medical teams as well as generators diverse and search and rescue helicopters. training me now from athens is i a little while she's a widely published expert and commentator on security with a special focus on libya. thank so much for joining us here on dw, we just heard as the, the u. n saying many of these tests could have been avoided if warning systems had was, could i ask you to explain to us why that was such a catastrophic failure?

here, as i think 1st and foremost on, they're not like many cities of lydia lack investment in infrastructure. and this is the problem that it's been going on for decades as far as emergency notification is concerned right now in europe. and especially since dakota virus government, and invested in software of the given emergency alerts to people's phones directly . here in greece, it's very, very common to get an alerts on your mobile phone from the government in pending natural disaster. of course it is kind of as bad, so it's characteristic of of your, uh, your team country response. pick me up to remember that in with yeah. such systems are not in place. now. there was worried warnings by public authorities. but without such a system, such as a defeat assistant to reach people on mass on their mobile phones, i think a lot of people did not receive these 4 legs. so of course, there is

a failure on the whole, a government, towards the people. now, as far as into structures concerned, the reason why the spot storm daniel was especially disposed then of course, because a too dense broke up, which should have been a flight for it into basically it's been on the the voice of the city didn't as problems are defect decades and it is characteristics i think of the capital to collect in general that these 2 regions. and this is a problem that dates back to the contest, the machine. okay. we know that libya has to rival political, also receives all day, now cool pricing to provide dissolves to release on the 1st 24 hours or $23.00 flights. i have been uh, going to a different international donors. and this, of course, international flights are done to request by the government,

but certainly government. also there has been shown there has been cooperation, of course, not as kindly as wished a part of it is of course, the lack of cooperation. uh, and really is a lot of expertise on with your to see such an unprecedented flight. so there is a cooperation. it should, it should happen much swifter, much more tiny. but it's good, it's getting yours. okay. libby or of course, is an oil rich country. $11.00 does well, one of that money is go on. why is that know being used now to deal with the situation up there is probably the most important question in dealing with this disaster. this disaster is both a natural disaster and the mind made. disaster storm. daniel, it's a natural disaster. this right. the cost questions that we saw afterwards is a man made disaster. the dams weren't maintained properly. it was a catastrophe waiting to happen. and this of course coast out corruption,

corruption is a human security, but it is, it is responsible for all these not just for the dance and infrastructure, but i think is responsible for the sub standard living the living space throughout the entire day. the lives of libby is one of those club countries in the world. there is no formal audits, the meaningful audits of government spending, the government public funds go to the governments are not public collected. what happens when a government is not comfortable to the people, but you get a self serve, it's not public servants. and this is a problem, but what do you has gone through for a decade spigot? definitely. she was a tardy and it was characterized by christ. and uh, this, uh, this tradition uh, continues today, cuz construction control. uh, uh, corruption is huge. uh me see here is uh kickbacks between businesses, lots of the meeting standards of building all of that the urban planning. so

literally, so corruption here plays a huge role. maybe x, but i above what i'd like to like to thank you so much for joining us here on the w today. thanks for your analysis. it's now morocco's strongest earthquake has killed nearly 3000 people and left many homeless. and now the government has announced an aid program to help people cope with the damage, including providing temporary shelter. but right now on the ground, people all struggling to put the lives back together of to that quake report to mean a cease said this report from the town of items needs the dust, settling on. the town of armies means now begins daily life of making do with close to nothing. aid is flowing into this town, but it can't change the fact that hundreds of people here are homeless, sleeping,

intense provided by the government in volunteers, in mountain towns that have been heavily affected by the earthquake. what we've seen is that the people who lived there did not evacuate the towns. they stayed there in the 10th or some other temporary dwellings. this house behind me right here which completely came down. the owner of that house has moved just across the lot into this tent right here, where he's determined to stay until he finds a better solution. janelle city spent 15 years building his house and he'd only moved in 3 years ago. to came down in a matter of seconds, but his family was able to escape on hurt in the house. but i didn't try to look for things in the rumble, because i don't have the strength of it that i can only look at it from a distance. that's it myself. this intersection has become a new neighborhood for dozens of other families. and janelle situation no more,

his house is still standing, but it's run through with cracks if too dangerous to live in. now he lives in this bright yellow government tend, along with his son and his wife, the other hand side of the device. and here's the table we need to go into years that people gave us some sugar and tea and everything else that we made and dates, and bread and water too. and if we do need anything else, we bring it down from our old house. we go back into that house even though it's heavily damaged, just to get what we need. and as you can see, we're cooking here. so we're settling down here until we see what god does about it . and that's all we can do. i can do that. i seem to be. 2 at 5 pm to call to afternoon premier rings out, but not from the top of the mosque which was damaged or is quick. today, the mom calls from the street the. the new mosque is a gap between the tents. omar joins to pray as he has done for most of his life and

will continue to do. he says, as long as he is physically able, oh, let's take a look now. some of the other stories making news around the world, and us officials say that ukraine's president loved them is lensky is expected to visit washington dc. next week, the trip comes as congress considers president biden's request for an additional 20 full $1000000000.00 in military and humanitarian aid for keys. so when's the last visit to the u. s. and december 2022 can be back to the white f and thousands of also because of going on strike in the us of the countries. 3 biggest vehicle manufacturers for general motors and still on to as have refused to increase pay to levels demanded by the united ortho workers union. and that's the spice and 92 percent increase in the call and make his profits over the past decade. officials on the italian islands lump producer, appealing, for your opinion,
