Theres a still are still i dont know where he is i havent heard from him since 6 pm monday i want to know if hes alive or dead. Rescue experts from abroad have started to arrive to help a country that wasnt prepared to cope with a disaster like this all of us are. Hoping to each other with. The fund says theres still a lot of destruction we need to move the stock to building to find. Somebody. The blasts were felt kilometers away killing dozens and wounding thousands buildings homes shops all destroyed 300000 people displaced billions of dollars in damage investigations are focusing on possible negligence in storing tons of highly explosive material at the port officials have promised assistance and compensation to those affected by the explosions but driving around the city the state is noticeably absent in destroyed neighborhoods like this one it is the people who are helping each other they are cleaning the streets clearing the debris and distributing food and water to those in need public anger against the Political Class many believe is responsible for lebanons near economic collapse is not new decades of corruption in the glare triggered an antiestablishment Movement Last october weve been fortunate growing used to this day not being present for its citizens we dont have properly just city we dont have a proper garbage infrastructure we dont have proper water infrastructures and unfortunately the people have gotten used to it but its its a time for change its weve been asking for. For quite some time and i think this last catastrophe is going to make change for the country much better the priority now is to help the victims many are still in hospital in Critical Condition calls for accountability and justice are growing louder for now people are focused to rely on themselves i need money to rule. Myself. Can i leave everything. I can. To be. So this is why im here i want to. At least leave. The street.

Beirut. A crowd of protesters in beirut vented their anger at the government the french president as he visited demonstrations. In one of the citys worst hit areas back and told them he wasnt there to condone the government and that french aid wont fall into corrupt turns says hell push for reform by lebanese leaders. Its amazing how its my duty to help you as a people to bring you medicine to make sure you are fed and to help you reconstruct i can guarantee you it will be transparent and i will guarantee you will not go into corrupt hands off more in the. First of whats happening where you are. Laura what i see all around me are armies of young people mainly like those in those visibility jackets that theyve been thousands of them walking up and down these streets with shovels and brushes cleaning up why they doing it because what we dont see what im seeing down here police or any sort of representation of the government any sort of government emergency Civil Services cleaning up we saw a little bit further down this road. It seemed from a foreign thank you a team from the emergency foreign see how the search for bodies in the rubble they have been digging up and ali is showing you now the building of the Lebanon Electricity Company on the iconic buildings really in these parts of beirut every single window blown out so a lot of searching going on a lot of cleaning up going on all being dumb seemingly from what weve seen mainly by ball and sees. Every seen macron france the french president from that promising help but also calling for political reforms what are the challenges there. Well the challenge is for micron or any foreign political Leader Organization who wants to help lebanon is the only people theyre able to talk to at the moment are the Political Leadership that has been responsible for the decay of lebanon over the last 30 years alternately really people will argue led to this catastrophic explosion there were popular protests in october that lasted up until around christmas he said ouch cross sects cross sectarian cross religions it was Civil Society getting together to protest what the problem was there was no war no organizational person came out of those protests and the same is it happening again today that been spontaneous protests a makeover syria but theres nobody through this passion for change can be channeled and that is the problem that is the problem of leaders who can they turn to to help chance for transform lebanon because from the Political Class is in charge at the moment seems to have been little desire to give up the 30 years of power in patronage those different sects and groups enjoyed or. Meeting lebanons leaders right now we are expecting a press conference from him in the coming hour we will of course cross live to it to bring us bring our audience exactly what he says thanks very much the moment about. The number of americans filing for Unemployment Benefits dropped to 1200000. 00 last week as the u. S. Labor market struggles to overcome the effects of the coronavirus pandemic its the lowest weekly total since the outbreak began in march but the Labor Department says more than a 1000000 workers have claimed for jobless checks each week since june lets cross to our White House Correspondent kimberly how cant ghibli 1st of all just tell us about these latest unemployment figures. Well there are a glimmer of hope but at the same time its not good news you have more Americans Still out of work and what were seeing is not only of these across most sectors of the us economy but in many cases as coronavirus continues to ravage the United States that many of these job cuts that Many Americans thought were temporary are turning out to be permanent so it is discouraging even as business analysts may be saying that this is a hopeful sign that the number from last week to this week is down still millions of americans are out of work and also not offering much hope for many of those americans is the fact that those paychecks they used to get the 600. 00 a week paychecks that expired on friday theres been no replacement 2 program put in place by congress or of signed into law by this white house that is equally discouraging in the fact that these debates are going out on capitol hill the 2 sides very far apart the democrats looking for the 3 trillion dollar relief package to help americans including money for state and local governments republican saying they really want this laser focused on things like. Stopping evictions that make sure that people that cant pay their rent will get kicked out of their homes and also seeing that there are paychecks that are given to people on a weekly basis so there is a lot of disagreement doesnt look like it will be resolved in that is leaving Many Americans feeling rather gloomy to be just seeing reports in the past trump saying the vaccine may be possible to november the 3rd one hearing that anywhere else. Know were not and wow november 3rd is of course election day in the United States so that timing is curious this is something that the u. S. President has been talking about many would argue that these may be words hilberg grat he has been very vocal as he gave a radio interview here in the United States he talked about the priority that hes identified to put in place a vaccine by the end of the year a somewhat ambitious target but still he says that he is ready to deliver and as soon as its approved hes rushing hes pushing everybody but again these are somewhat controversial in terms of the timeline also controversial some of the commerce the president s made in recent days with regard to children and the fact that he has kind of brushed off any suggestion that children could be negatively impacted by covert 19 when in fact we know that some children do get very very sick this is all part of the u. S. President trying to put a positive spin on the job losses the economy and also trying to push to reopen schools something that many parents are against ok kimberly for the moment thanks very much for the update from washington millions of people in the u. S. Who lost their job join the pandemic how worried about becoming homeless rental moratoriums are expiring which means many face of fiction and youve got the reports from miami. Even as unemployment rates remain at historic highs the coronavirus pandemic shows no signs of slowing with so many out of work in the midst of a Health Crisis the specter of massive victims is now real temporary moratoriums meant to prevent renters losing their homes have been lifted in 30 states and millions of facing a harsh reality the landlord here has started an addiction process against us when my mom lost her own child and her father. 19 pandemic and completely scared and frightened because i dont want to come home which i doubt why my family be split in half illiterate home by shelter over the last few months is job losses of grown so too have the lines that food banks that massive loss of income and increasing desperation not only affects renters but landlords to somebody who own one property in their service. To pay their bills and they have duplex and they make. The other without parental. Care not pay their bills this is absolutely to be journalists and provide additional federal leave to people whod been a lot of in washington negotiations between the Democratic Party and the republicans continue over a new Relief Program some Unemployment Benefits officially ended last month with no new plans in place that combined with an end to protection from addiction could have a devastating effect housing experts say without action the u. S. Could witness a tsunami of addictions that may affect tens of millions of people without homes many are forced to live with relatives or in shelters increasing their risk of contracting covert 19 the court system is overwhelmed hearing addiction cases as a safety net designed to protect the most vulnerable seems to be straining according to the Data Companies to distance 40 percent of americans and now at risk of a vixen for some its already happened is heartbreaking. Having. Lost Everything Else no money no not at kings i dont sleep well.

That is how will want to cite us. Former colombian president alvaro uribe has tested positive for covert 19 and a Supreme Court order to his house arrest hes been detained over allegations of witness tampering and fraud which he denies. Reports from. The 2nd day of startling news for former president alberto just as he prepares to begin home detention i mean the witness tampering investigation he announced he tested positive for covert 19 but for many colombians hes undeserving of any sympathy. Like Jacqueline Christie you who considers him responsible for the death of his brother jaime a decade ago. Who lost their son the same way they are 2 of thousands of men that were abducted and murdered by soldiers during his administration then declared rebel combatants to boost war statistics and justify us a scandal known as false positives the evidence is that not these the courts decision gave us great joy we know its not about the false positives yet but we think its a great step forward we thought it was out of reach i think it will open the way to the continuation of other investigations into all the other things we know hes implicated in. Been a towering figure in colombian politics for the last 2 decades and has been investigated for ties to drug traffickers paramilitary groups and illegal spying. Dozens of his government appointed close allies and even family members have been found guilty of a number of crimes feel himself has always managed to avoid prosecution. Millions of colombians support him and believe he is the victim of a conspiracy of the left in response to the Supreme Court decision his party is calling for a Constitutional Assembly to change the countrys Justice System. As you see. The courts decision is totally arbitrary and a slap in the face to the immense majority of colombians who believe reba is honest and demonstrates that colombias Justice System is politicized and not impartial but political analyst arlene ticknor says the fact that the court went on to detain would even despite incredible pressure against it is unusual do you do you a case is unprecedented in terms of the level of the politician involved and so i believe that if indeed convicted this will set a tremendous precedent in terms of future of assignations of high level politicians in colombia. Doris say theyre not interested in retribution theyre just hope that after more than a decade the decision to put their house arrest could become a turning point in the search for justice and truth at least in the room and just.
