looking for signs of life. we may get into our places that are difficult to reach, and there are survivors stuck under the rubble and we still receive messages from them. thank god, that's more biased. one networks are working. you can almost the messages say that they are in a specific place and are asking for somebody to risk them. but the rub up prevents theme from reaching them their emergency. well, because they've been collaborating with libyan military and volunteers around the clock in the area is west effected by the flood. but finding survivors is getting less likely by the de libby as parliament to prove the crisis fund equivalent to 2000000000 euros to help citizens affected. and to rebuild shafted infrastructure the m p for done to emphasize the need for me do it. however, i might have seen if you can look at us before these are scattered everywhere and

the beach is, are now littered with these corpses. but you know, we're still an urgent need of another technical crew to help recover them and prepare suitable places for their proper barrio cleanup efforts along the coastline . underway and dive is a searching everywhere the bodies or does the c continues to return human remains to show which is still too soon to measure the scale of human loss or e mail. becky is a journalist and editor in chief of of leave your 24. she's just been to do are now we asked i want you saw everything getting the city is completely destroyed in this so many volunteers from oh well it be a are doing great job to, to, to help people in the talk to the people in governor, in working, but the few hours is like it divided into 4 main points. actually,

1st of all, we're trying to to, to, to looking for shift survives and the survived and help them in the 2nd, boyd is a gaping or feeding feeding to those who are without shelter. without shelters with a human duty and it's, and we are trying, as well as, as a starting point to, to, to set up like as a healthy shelter for, for, for the, for the, for the, for those people in, we are trying as well to, to get in contact with who is still alive and who is basically it could be still alive. this is, this is the situation had been done uh and this, this, this moving well, to be honest with you. uh, they need everything, everything from promoter, from electricity. uh, it could be silly,

but they need internet to not a connection to connect with other pests outside the city to, to connect with their families outside that to connect with best inside data. so uh you, you know that someone in chrome uh, he needs to be connected. he needs to be if you need to speak with everyone to just know if his friend is family by the mother and they're still alive, know they need medicine. they need tutors, which is like this is, this is for me, one of the most basic things that they need. right now. those who survive, they need to be charged as soon as possible in by see children to is. i'm not seeing it putting them inside the schools. for example. i like sold invest poplin by creating a healthy shouldn't filters for them as soon as possible. neural coast government has announced in a program to help people cope off the last weeks may to us quite it includes

providing shelter to those left homeless. the task is immense as an estimate, the 50000 buildings have been damaged. a report on the, on the so if is in the town of nice me is near the epi center of the 6.8 back and she would quake it struck at nice getting almost 3000 people, many in their sleep. so many survivors are now living in nor next to the raffle. look that full behind the dust settling on the town of armies means now begins daily life of making do with close to nothing. the data 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 tents for 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 said he 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. it was in the house, but i didn't try to look for things in the rubble because i don't have the strength of it that i can only look at it from a distance. that's it. most of this intersection is become a new neighborhood for dozens of other families in general. situation oh more. his house is still standing, but it's run through was cracks him too dangerous to live and now he lives in this bright yellow government tend, along with his son and his wife has had the device. and here's the table we need to go into years of people gave us some sugar and tea and everything else that we need 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 . then that's all we can do. i can do that. actually looking at 5 pm, the 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 at some of the other stories making use us. did you think you'd like to have him take talk with us 345000000? you're fine for failing to protect children's privacy and investigation. found that

the sign up process 14 h uses left their accounts public. by default, the chinese on social media platforms that the fine was excessive and that it had already fixed the privacy issues. u. s. media reporting that china is defense minister the junk full was under investigation assigning american officials. li hasn't been seen in public for weeks and has reported, they've missed several meetings. agent hasn't confirmed the reports. in july, china is foreign minister was replaced without explanation. off the he to disappeared. for several weeks. the head of thailand's election winning move forward party has resigned. he turned him down the road that made the reform is party to 1st place inmates elections, finding a wave of anger at the military and going list establishment. and he was blocked from forming a government by conservative lawmakers and like a suspended as an empty but not the german foreign minister on the bank bulk

has met with how you west counter pod, anthony blinking in washington. the to top diplomats focus much of the discussion on ukraine friend. they have upset the waves and thousands of bonds. the countries would continue to provide military economic and humanitarian aid to keep some republican members of congress of coal funding cuts for ukraine, insisting that europe should contribute more existing blinking st. germany for its efforts to help you when it comes to you find among individual nations of germany is the 2nd largest provider of support to ukraine in the world after the united states. that's the kind of leadership we've seen from germany. that's the kind of leadership that i'm so appreciative of coming from find mr. bare box, who's been on my closest colleagues throughout this past year and a half when it comes to dealing with your credit. so many other issues that's bringing in political correspondent has punch. who was following that press

conference with a hands a lot to talk about the both committed to saying that i do do i have they sent out the right message when it comes to you? probably because there's an election around the corner in the us, and we mentioned that the complaints that germany and others in your aunt stepping up to the plate is the width is carrying the burden of that bunny, which it is to a certain extent. yes, it's certainly the case, but the, the, the us is by far the biggest done on to your training, especially on the military side. obviously available to other aspects where you're trying to need support and is getting support. uh is support for its economy, for instance. and also support for humanitarian health, humanitarian issues, and about both of them, i think tries to bring across the message. that's the commitment to helping ukraine is a long term one, both from the united states and from germany and europe as a whole. and that you try and can expect and support even

well beyond this current conflict at some stage of this will is going to end and the interest will be to establish ukraine then as a strong country. i think i'm across the country and economically a self sufficient and strong country that as well linked to the west. here in europe, the end of germany, for instance, the discussions about you can becoming a member of the european union, which applied which is applied to many years ago. and so yes, i think that from these government representative from these 2 governments, a current governments, there's no question that support will continue. but obviously what the republican republicans would do, what a republican president would do is very much open to question. exactly. that's the question with this election coming up next year. so beyond that, i believe the book has been doing her homework while in the us, isn't this,

is it something fairly unusual for foreign minister for german, for them and especially did not go to washington to the capital and do the kind of political ron's. she spent a couple of days, so it's going to texas and speaking to the texas government, the government that who is a someone on the trump side of the republican party, a very conservative man. and she also spoke to republican senators in congress in washington. and in both cases the her report, she reported that her discussions with music, um republicans were um, open discussions that they listen to each other. and so she seems to get the impression that amongst these people that she talked to a, the need to support you, trying to continue pushing back. russia was understood. so from her side, i think she's trying to build up some contexts in republican circles in case that

might be a changing in the the ship in the united states. and at the same time, she's looking at the current discussions about the current support program. that's a diagnostician and straighten is trying to get approved by congress. but one of the other big topics that they discussed was germany's china strategy is the u. s. and germany as anthony blinking point, that on the same page when it comes to china. yes, indeed they are. i think germany has dusta presented a new china policy. something that has been in the making for quite a long time. it's something obviously, the algo buckets for administer is basically in charge of. and i think that both the, the emphasized that's what they're both trying to do with both countries trying to do is uh the, to the risk. in other words, not to be too closely tied to china, but not a cup ties. but china completely has punt on the political ties between the united states and germany to good friends is alaina. bab,

i'll put it today in that press conference. thank you very much for coming in and that's all from us. now here on the dw new site with us though, but a lot more news coming up for you by the let's see, chris live. you discover new adventures in 362 and explore fascinating. both heritage dw world heritage 360. now sometimes a cd is all you need to allow big ideas to grow.
