Are nearing danger. Well also hear from those who survived the explosion sharing their stories of shattered lives in a shot its. Also in the news fire erupts on board a super tanker off the coast of sri lanka its carrying 2000000 barrels of oil. And a standoff in the eastern democratic republic of congo where an armed group is surrounded a prison calling for the release of their members. So were starting in lebanon a month since that massive explosion at the port in beirut and incredibly rescue teams that may have found signs of life but the collapsed building they digging there right now scanning equipment picked up indications of briefing. And were going to hear more about that in a moment this disaster of course oldest forth caused by that large stockpile of badly stored Ammonium Nitrate which ignited at the ports around 200 People Killed 6000 injured and hundreds of thousands left without a home where rescue workers we have heard from then they say their initial attempts havent been successful in establishing contact with any potential survivor but they keep looking what we have seen so far is unfortunately no trace of any big team of body we have been conducting 2 scans in 2 different room holding the scanner on the board we just need the 4 inch pens and commit the horse so we did that so far we dont see nothing and but we are going to conduct again im sure another scan thingies done we work in phase across the nation is clay to cheat him together we need to tele. Live and hes going to tell me we have a very good team everybodys working hand in hand. So lets go to senator whos in beirut shes at the site of this well i mean its an extraordinary situation isnt it you know that a month later there is the potential for a survivor. Well yes the search and rescue operation began 24 hours ago it started with the search dogs really who alerted a team from chile who were really visiting this neighborhood checking the structures of the buildings whether any of them were lapsing and the search dog alerted them to the possibility of a sign of life and then they use the machine the machines that they have sensors. And they determined what they called a sign of life 18 that breaths per minute so that raised a lot of hope and they started to dig dig through the rubble of this collapsed building into amazing neighborhood one of the neighborhoods really badly damaged during that 4th explosion late last night they have to call off the operations because they asked lebanese authorities to provide them with a crane and the lebanese authorities couldnt do that and people stepped in and they brought the crane in order for their rescue operations to resume now within the past hour what has happened they carried out another sensor test and according to the people on the ground they now detected 7 breaths per minute so its a much weaker signal they also managed to insert a camera inside the building but havent reached the ground floor yet but so far what they have been telling us is that they havent found anyone or anything yet so hopes are fading. And were just going to have to wait in the coming hours to see whether or not there is a person alive underneath that rubble but what we also understand from yesterday is that they believe theres also a corpse underneath that rubble ok it looks a little busy and sort of chaotic behind you so i know just talk us through the scene because i can see the work going on in the background but then also life goes on it seems like theres a lot of buildings Still Standing there as well. Yes people of the area gathered around here if you just listen to their stories many of them really angry furious they say its been a why wasnt this a building searched why wasnt the rubble on the street cleared by the authorities why didnt anyone do anything about that now in this collapsed building what we understand is that there are a number of apartments which were abound but there was a pub as well as a chocolate store we managed to speak to the owner of the pub we want to know if there is somebody in there who is this person who has the identity of this person and maybe it could be a Migrant Worker an illegal Migrant Worker because so many illegal Migrant Workers are not registered with the in the interior and this owner of the pub told us that i ready spoke to the authorities nobody was inside maybe it could have been a pedestrian so its very hard for us to independently confirm you know who was there at the time of the blast that you talked to officials even the beirut governor was it was really in a state of shock he was not able to answer questions to journalists just a few days ago the Lebanese Army said that there were 7 people over main missing 3 lebanese 3 syrians and one egyptian ok zain lets pause just for a 2nd ok because i want to just take a moment to reflect on what actually happened a month ago and the people affected these are the numbers as we have them official figures saying 191 people dead and as dana said 6 still missing that number there doesnt account for the undocumented people remembering lebanon hosts an estimated one in a huff 1000000 refugees in addition at least 6 and a half 1000 people were injured many of them permanently disabled and theyre the people saying that you have been talking to not just in the last 2440 had hours but in the last month ever since this happened. Yes its been a difficult month for the people of this city so many people lost their homes just walk in these disaster stricken neighborhoods and people are still in their homes without doors without glass because they just cannot afford to move anywhere else yes theyre receiving help from local n. G. O. S international n. G. O. S but the needs are so great the authorities really have done nothing people tell us that they cant rebuild their lives many people have lost their jobs as well injuries many suffered life changing injuries some of them no longer able to work they were the breadwinner in the family you talk about on migraine undocumented migrants yes this country hosts 9 almost 900000 registered Syrian Refugees but there are hundreds of thousands of syrians who work here 30 percent of the casualties were syrians and among them theyre among the accounted for as well and of course there is the trauma many people in this city are suffering from trauma. Its been a month since the explosion at beirut port and many like north are still struggling to cope this is my 1st time coming to modify and after the explosion at the time of the explosion i was feeling really bad that i couldnt go down and help people but i was just very afraid of leaving my home even though the blast rips through neighborhoods like. Killing nearly 200 people and wounding thousands but some injuries cant be seen as a matter of concern for us now what we call the cars we dont see. These explosions. The blast was lebanons latest calamity. Many businesses already reeling from a deep economic crisis were impacted United Nations estimates 70000 people have been put out of work thats 12000 households lebanon was also on the verge of a humanitarian crisis with more than 50 percent of its people in poverty. Dean is thankful that he and his family survived the explosion their home is just a kilometer from the port they struggle to carry on like so many others they rely on aid agencies for handouts and. My car was destroyed or used to be a dark i was able to feed my family and buy milk and diapers for my daughter going to the focus came to assist our situation 3 days after the blast. Damages are in the billions of Dollars Money the nearly bankrupt state doesnt have decades of corruption has been blamed not just for the economys collapse but the port blast many lebanese blame the political elite for this explosion so far mainly ports and custom employees have been arrested as part of the investigations but senior officials havent been questioned even though they were aware almost 3000 tons of Ammonium Nitrate were stored. Unsafe conditions in a warehouse i expected the president. The president the battery to be today in prison to put themselves in custody and visit investigation happens independently from their presence lebanese authorities have rejected calls for an International Investigation into one of the Worlds Largest nonnuclear explosions in history ill see you angry. When. Youre sitting here at home. And using danger. I mean look you go through the. Everything to see on Stephen Hendry i dont even know i mean nor is not alone in her despair and misery its been crisis after crisis in what is now a broken country. Singer i want to ask you as well about the issue of accountability we know what caused the blast but we well where are we with who then who is responsible. A lot of Unanswered Questions after the explosion the authorities promised a swift investigation they even said it would take 5 days before the results will be made public its been a month be investigative judge has issued a number of arrest warrants mainly ports and customs employees low ranking officials really who many believe answer to people higher up now everyone in levin on knows how much corruption is corruption really is and make up a report there have been numerous investigations over the years so who was responsible for keeping thousands of tons of Ammonium Nitrate in warehouse 12 what caused the initial fire that could have been responsible for really causing this massive blast and warehouse 12 many many Unanswered Questions just late last night the investigative judge questioned the caretaker. The Prime Minister has found it was believed to have known about the presence of Ammonium Nitrate and also yesterday the Lebanese Army saying that they found 4. 00 tons of Ammonium Nitrate in another container close to the entrance of the port a month after this disaster so really a lot of questions still no answers come out and thats why people here are just so angry theyre asking for answers and theyre asking for justice they dont think that those in power who have been governing this country for decades will be held to account for what really has been a calamity for this country xenophobia reporting live from beirut on the news out thank you zain or of course she was there when it all happened she lives and works in beirut and her recollections of the day are in this video at aljazeera dot com its part of a series called between us which features aljazeera correspondents youll find this video and more in the a j go to menu from the main page at aljazeera dot com. And so the search still goes on in beirut these are the live pictures and saying it was telling us yesterday the scanning equipment detected maybe a sign of life there 18 breaths per minute was what was detected now it is down apparently to 7 breaths a minute so hope fading but as long as there is hope the people will keep digging and keep searching and we will keep you crossed that as soon as we hear anything further. And we will return to lebanon later in the news on. A barrett resident takes us through his home or whats left of it one month after the blast. Out why i want justice i want.

Full backing from the capital kinshasa just 2 days ago the uns chief in congo said that no such seal should go ahead these teams the un and the International Community have lost appetite for integrating armed groups into the army they dont want to be seen to be rewarding people for taking up arms and for massacring civilians many civilians have been killed in that area by this armed group of those over the last few months so this seems to have reached a head today right now as well a few Army Soldiers the government soldiers who were there trying to evacuate the civilian population have had any standoff or any conflict any battle that might happen in the hours ahead of course were going to keep following those developments just quickly mark any thoughts on why this is happening now or this i mean there has been violence going on in this area for you. Well ever since neighboring uganda and rwanda invaded congo in the mid 1990 s. The whole of the thing congress remained on stable in these fights between different militias often those militias actually acting as proxies for different interests whether thats uganda rwanda or from congo is capital kinshasa now ever since president felix he came to power in kinshasa one and a half years ago hes been widely seen to be favoring the interests of rwandan president in the east now on the other hand some researches say its connected to uganda and certainly its a descendant of rebel groups that in the early to thousands were backed by uganda in that area in a very bloody conflict in which thousands of civilians were massacred and its the threat of that sort of return to that brutal interethnic violence is being used as a lever right now to pursue various peoples interests whether thats the militia fighters who just want some sacks of food to eat their officers who want to be integrated into the army or the bigger interests of any foreign players that may be involved who are trying to protect their interests in eastern congo thank you for those updates malcolm where in nairobi.

Now a criminal has died in an engine room explosion aboard an oil tanker which is now on fire off the coast of sri lanka 22. 00 men the Filipino Crew members were rescued from the new diamond a panama registered tanker which is carrying 2000000. 00 barrels of oil from kuwait to india has been on fire now for 2 days the Sri Lankan Navy and the indian coast guard ships of water bombing it alone with their water and helicopters there as well at the same as of yet the fire hasnt spread to the tanks nor has there been any oil spill so were going to talk to commodore about this he served as an officer in the indian navy for 37 years currently director of the society for policy studies commodore thank you for your time tell us about your experience what would happen here if there is an explosion in an engine room in a ship of this nature whats process is what safety regulations what things kick in in that moment. Very large group you know youre. Talking about a bar. That has a very high fever. So this kind of for fire in the engine room. A lot lady but the high consequence. Now were going to fire. The engine will we understand that it. Was for some satisfaction. Not our fire when you are designing and building a ship but this guy there is a lot of attention to this kind of what it means while you fire wall that different compartments. I lost nabil do not know the extent to which the fire was beyond being general my sense that it had been in that particular area but even by we. Sorry to interrupt you even though we think of this huge tank filled with 2000000 barrels of oil there will be a safety precaution in place to keep the oil contained or was it firewalled is that the phrase you used. That becomes bachmann designed in such a way. Where because the guy that fought the fires expect it would not be such an easy to find a proposition that doesnt just say put it in the film but i dont think the media a lot of the is dont go the ship away from the court so that even if there is any extreme kind of negative expediency like the lives today there is not i am spirit thats what got damaged in this case to the island of sri lanka right and i understand we got at this point in time and indeed how easy or how difficult is it to tow an enormous supertanker part of which is on fire away from the coast of the country shot down to the very difficult very challenging given the size of the ship factors like the wind it up and the fact that damage so you need direction was off of certain capability and if the sea isnt up i dont think it is as well they just it was at sea but this is a challenge to seamanship for those who are patently engaged in the you and the salvage and of course the lives not go all the highest priority but the rescue and.

We mentioned us earlier brazil now reporting more than 4000000 coronavirus cases with nearly 125000 people dead in what is the worlds 2nd largest outbreak meanwhile as more now on the challenges brazil faces. Well run very briefly through the latest data from Brazils Health ministry as of thursday evening the number of confirmed cases of covert 1000 was 4041638 only the United States compared to the rest of the world has a higher number of confirmed cases than brazil i dont think anyone could have imagined brazil being at this point more than 4000000 confirmed cases has to represent somewhere close to 2 percent of the countrys population but it there could be signs that things are improving if you look at the daily contagion rate the daily death rate over the past few weeks it does show signs that the Health Crisis is starting to improve last week the daily death rate dropped below 900. 00 per day which is still very horrifying especially compared to the rest of the region but could be an indicator that brazil is finally starting to climb down from that plateau of contagion that is sort of characterized it as a nightmare scenario for latin america here in mexico there is concern over in alarming contagion rate among doctors nurses medical workers which is now the highest in the world and a lot like brazil mexico is leadership has been widely criticized for taking what many would characterize as a relaxed approach to the containment efforts against the copen 1000. 00 contagion.

To report the nato secretary general. And stilton badly is given a Media Briefing and the use of chemical weapons shows a total disrespect for human lives and is an unacceptable breach of international not serious questions it must answer the russian government must fully cooperate with the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons and the impartial International Investigation those responsible for this attack must be held accountable and brought to justice and also call on our shop to provide complete disclosure of the novacek program to the opus e. W. Time and again we have seen Opposition Leaders and critics of the russian regime attacked and the lives threatened some have even been killed so this is not just an attack on an individual but on from a mental democratic rights and it is a serious breach of International Law which demands an International Response we wish mr noel now a full and speedy recovery our thoughts are with him and his family and allies will continue consultations and consider the implications of this incident and without them ready to take your questions and for the 1st question we will go to teri schultz from dutch avila. Teri schultz terri can we have your question please. Visitors to the plane line terry terry can we have your question please. Hi i cant hear anything we can work terry we can hear you can we have a question please hello im mr secretary general can you hear me yes i dont. Ok i cant hear you back but im going to go ahead and ask you might get off easier than usual on this my question is less time there was the allegation that russia that at least russian nationals used to nova chuck albeit on nato territory 7 Russian Diplomats were expelled from the nato mission yet it appears that if in fact russia is again responsible that is not a deterrent so what more can you do to make the perpetrators understand that this will not be allowed and why as im being asked on my twitter feed quite a lot why does nato believe that it would have a mandate to act in this case for an attack that was not on nato territory thank you. Because this is a violation of International Law on International Norms its the use of chemical of but its a use of a over unit of chemical nerve agent which is violating their broad bishan of any use over chemical weapons and that matters for nato its undermining the rules of the norms for how to build a peaceful and Stable Society societies on. It not theirs also because nato is based on some fundamental values democracy the rule of law individual liberty and when we see that it leads opposition politician in russia is attacked. Is tried to theres not as a nation a time against him of course it matters for everyone that believe seen the tool of law democracy individual liberty as we do in nato. And thats the reason why we so strongly condemn the attack. Because it is an attack on an individual but is also an attack on fundamental democratic rights natos matters we have percent close to 1000000000. 00 people 50 percent of the worlds. G. D. P. So it matters when nato so clearly condemn the attack and the use of chemical a chemical nerve agent we will continue to consult among allies. We call on our shelter to fully cooperate with an impartial International Investigation because it is extremely important those who are responsible are held accountable when they see these con the horrendous use of a preview did illegal. Weapons and now we move to and scott house from d. P. A. Until we read if your question. And scope we really feel question. We have your question its. A. Good news conferences in the age of a pandemic where everything happens over a video link and it clearly takes a little while for people to hear that they are indeed on air but we were listening to the end stoltenberg the secretary general of nato as nato now steps into. The issue of the poisoning of russian Opposition Leader alexei. Stoltenberg said this was not just an attack on an individual but on fundamental democratic rights and called for complete cooperation from russia and if its good for it our correspondent in moscow to take us through this one i mean its more tough words after we heard from the german chancellor a few days ago i mean how is this likely to go down with moscow. Well just heard from mr stoltenberg that he appealed to russia to fully cooperate with the International Impartial investigation its not there he also called for russia to investigate and d find the perpetrators and bring them to justice but just before this press conference spokesman a spokesperson of them in me to discover said that russia will investigate once it gets confirmation that indeed poison was found in the bio material of the violence in the valleys of body for which he appealed to germany actually to show the proof to send them the analysis that theyre showing this is this is not a joke if we go but also the thing is with russia that in previous cases when russia was facing sanctions and got sanctions in the previous cases that did not make russia. Call parades more than they intended to do so the sanctions actually dont work in this case is is what the past has shown that. It was the russia has been at odds with nato previously and actually the one reporter we did hear ask mr stoltenberg why would nato even believe it has a mandate to act against ultimate seems to be taking this beyond the remit of actually his organization and saying this is about International Law and about anyone who cares about International Law.
