more injured search and rescue teams are still clearing rubble in the hope of finding more survivors with scores of people remaining missing explosion shock wave wreaked havoc across the city destroying buildings businesses and homes in its wake united nations has warned of a humanitarian crisis some 300000 people in need of aid and shelter to correspond i think is done i've spoke to one family who've been left without a roof over their head. this bus station used to be one of the routes main public transport hubs it was far from an anonymous depo know thousands of people used it to travel all around the country before the coronavirus.

amid all havoc you can still pinpoint the telltale signs of people's panic of their rush to leave the area as they were caught up in the blast there are documents left behind on car seats there are luggage bags all over the place and in cars with everything still inside hence the heavy army presence we had to get through a number of military checkpoints on the way here they are warning of marauders and looters but as people ran hundreds of thousands found out they may have no longer a place to call home the son who lives a few 100 metres from the pool it felt something was wrong before the main lost says this never again. is that. you hear that. their work or the story goes forward only if. there was a good month. for me because these dams are covered.

there. you flew as you say. to that. you have no gas now in oregon. nothing nothing at all it's all for the. coming because this isn't going to cause this is you guys son and his wife with no means to mend their apartment by themselves are telling me they are ready to leave the ruins of no help comes and they are among the lucky ones the actually have someplace else to strive for a better life lebanon already home to syrian and palestinian refugee camps now may need a camp for its own people with over 300000 displaced by the blast because donna from beirut in lebanon. for some locals the day was meant to be a big event for a very different reason here's the moment a wedding photo shoot was suddenly turned to cayle spot a blast. and

that the world health organization is warning the beirut's health care system has been badly compromised and are already being put under severe pressure by the covert $1000.00 pandemic on top of that the destructive explosion and choose they put 3 hospitals out of action medics are working round the clock to save the lives of those seriously injured in the tragedy here is one heroic nurses story. when the explosion went off the ground shook beneath the blast held me into another room i opened my eyes and found myself covered with rubble i found my colleagues

and friends line here on the ground covered in blood. in. the neonatal intensive care units were covered in rubble as well i started pulling me going south of the units i was terrified because i thought the babies might be crushed under the rubble but thank god they were ok then i took them for this corridor and down 4 flights of stairs. i carried the babies and i was determined to take them to another hospital the only way less than 2 kilograms they had nothing on them except died people on the street give me the t. shirts and clothes so i could read him you simply didn't hear the cons to buy he on

t.v. . i was holding the 3 babies and i didn't know if i was going to be able to rescue them nor the times counting the heads on my chest to make sure they were still there. meanwhile the leaders a lebanese political or military group hezbollah has made his 1st public appearance since explosion in beirut hassan nostra la called the incident an exceptional event in lebanon's modern history and rejected any claims of hezbollah's involvement. but this move that by obama was an accident or was something launched deliberately no one no local and arab media outlets as well as people in social media have started talking for knowing anything directly about what happened he only wanted to highlight one end of this was the fault of hezbollah and pass the message to be root and all in a release people we respect public opinion and i can declare that we had nothing to

do with this and our struggle was not at all eluding and this is interesting the more that levanon is once again full of all kind of conspiracy theorists out fortunately and you see all kinds of claims and need your etc which i don't share at all because. there are there is no reasoning at all why there should be and in all meant so it is very interesting that. speech rejecting of the even silencing kinds of rumors and conspiracies this is a good sign. no matter who wins the next us presidential election the hurrican national counter-intelligence security center apparently knows already which external actor is to blame if trump wins thank the russians if biden the chinese or the iranians both the latest statement by the

center's director says that there are many foreign actors that quote have a preference over the election results the same and warns us voters that china views trump as unpredictable and doesn't want him to win as for russia according to the press releases deploying various tools against joe biden and iran could undermine the whole of american democracy going underground talk to american philosopher and political activist cornell west about the upcoming real election and also the movement is a pretty. i've got to say angela davis on this show endorsed endorsed joe biden in november no i'm chomsky has endorsed joe biden do you think that joe biden will save us from another nuclear conflagration as we commemorate the dead of hiroshima where you know my dear brother wanted the ginger use it did mon go because. we're all of course now we've got it down to military units round we're russia and china to get $3030.00

we've got $4800.00 military units in the whole world including the united states are there more senior legacy is one in which we have to take very seriously the real issue into poverty and all that militarism at home and abroad i can never endorsed an architect of the largest mass incarceration system in the modern world will target poor people disproportionate black brown poor people i had a choice between a deal liberal disaster that you know asked yes i would go to the older will disaster that's about me americans are sick impact is a spiteful impact it's a most unpleasant empire we've got another wonderful human being on the inside we've got some movement on the inside we've got a magnificent courageous and visionary citizen on the inside but we are losing. we are losing we're resisting but we're still losing the greed the hatred wall

street pentagon is they are in control of the empire and. what is different about these uprisings since what's in los angeles united 65 and before and after the beautiful thing is that you have. coming together and making the connection between not just police power and police murder but the tweet police least murder wall street car wall street crimes and pentagon power and pentagon crimes once you make those connections and connect to the most cheap make them out the mix made another big make the family look rabbi abraham dos were. able to make . greatest intellectual alone with no chance and been making for most of his intellectual life will once every day people begin to make those connections then we're on to something those can actually be made more now than they were before.

facebook has become the latest social media platform to crack down on q.r. non conspiracy content after deleting group with some 200000 members for violating the platform's guidelines believers of the fringe of foreign conspiracy theory have been voicing their support for president donald trump head of november's election result a stunnel quarter explains the movement has only grown despite being snubbed by the political and media elites. in the world of q. and a not labeled by the u.s. government as one of the most dangerous conspiracy theories of all time humanity is at war and president trump is here to save it he went on which essentially believes the entirety of the democratic party are conspiring and running an underground pedophile sex trafficking ring pacifically would cue in on is a free nation in which many baseless conspiracy theories are discussed on the internet the synergy of interest in q one comes as the u.s. skews a predilection a few years ago it was a fringe theory and tomorrow the headlines will be massive protests a few is

a bunch of people there on the inside to the good guys and they know the real story what's going on and it's all about in the deep state it's not in the spirit of fact donald trump was picked by military leaders to run for president as a way to kind of bring down the deep state it's still on the f.b.i.'s list of domestic terror threats but as of late it's been entering into the mainstream even made an appearance on america's most watched television network q. can do some crazy stuff with the pizza stuff and the way for stuff but they've also uncovered a lot of great stuff when it comes to epstein and it comes with a deep state 2020 has been a year like no other and when big events happen people look for explanations so it should come as little surprise that politicians are looking to capitalize on that sentiment around 70 former and current congressional candidates have already given

their public approval would you consider yourself a follower of you and on what does that mean. well i think what we need to recognize and actually most people do know a lot about it is that there is a deep state that exists it's not clear whether these people really believe in q.a. non or they're just trying to win some political points but whatever the case queuing on has some seriously high profile supporters and the media is raising the alarm over it but for many q. a non's rise in popularity is the result of that media went on is this just in a mall the mace you know all of the greatest conspiracy theories thrown into one big elite i've only been actively posting it say for the past couple of months but the response is insane constantly focusing airtime on attacking the president could very well have pushed trump supporters to more radical ideas and a ministration defined by ignorance of the world so that's partly him playing to their base and playing to their audience you know the credulous boomer rube demo

that backs on all trolled combine that with the violence many people are facing in the us and you have yourself a very alley and dating situation if you have a group of people who say that there are insidious forces working against them to keep the word of trump from being disseminated and their band yes that fuel that that shows them your right when you are being overwhelmed right now by everything that is so not just left wing but radically left wing the only response that people can have the only rational response that many many people can add to that is a pendulum swing to the rate which might be which might lead to a some case an over exuberant. to robust embrace of war law and order and rules and regulations in policing and that may be

fine for some people. but. point must be made that you were going to be encouraging people and recruiting more americans or more voters to take on positions that a few years ago they might not positions that many many people today would be considering the right way or even ultra right or fringe right whatever that means. next thing with us international this morning more news coming your way after this short break.
