tuesday one one work one if you were group of workers i guess heard a muffled baby cry going from underneath the rubble that was ten month old vanya he spent more than surtsey hour was trapped and made concrete blocks and lift. but if. you. were one of the rescuers heard a child crying we stopped all the machinery to listen in we were saying to keep quiet and the baby was reacting and kept silent we started asking where are you
8:03 am
then there was a noise and we started working there but there was a risk of further collapse we were afraid if the child was crying for help. in fact the worker who saved the life of vine. he got the clue of where to find him from his dad the father was at work and when he learnt of the tragedy he rushed back to the place he used to call hole and amid the rubble he sported the couch whereas his wife had been sleeping and so he kind of positioned the location of the crib judging by where the couch was and spent more than a day really trying to get here because the whole place is cordoned off and he wasn't allowed to get inside but he eventually sneaked into and he pointed at the place where he believed his son was and he was correct although was all i could
8:04 am
have shown him immediately where my son probably was but we weren't allowed at the site i managed to get there and show the rescuers the place i got acquainted with one rescuer who later called me to say that they'd found my son. his wife and mother of the baby was asleep with the eldest son in a neighboring room until the blast quarter a sleeper they fell through concrete and they were among the first who managed to get out alive from this building even before the eventual complete collapse we talked to her to give a new form of support. the bullshit discussion but a really nice on an excuse you mentioned someone. who really is the first person from. this illusion for five years and.
8:05 am
the story of viner and his family is a dramatic one for sure and the whole city really takes it we talked to many people who haven't even been affected by the tragedy directly and the you all think they all talk about it as of a new year's miracle really but there are others who are being affected in directly there are those who believe that they're cool. be there relatives still trapped underneath there in the hold for a miracle of their own. you could have done of reporting there now in britain the prime minister to resign may has used her new year's speech to rally support for her embattled breaks it deal in the next few weeks these will have an important decision to make if part of it backs the deal britain can turn a corner and if we come together in two thousand and ninety i know we can make a success of what lies ahead and build a country that truly works for every one of us well twenty eighteen was
