Doing what many young women do. Shes out and about enjoying her day poc off. But with personal safety a big concern she says having fun is limited to day times.

Dozens still missing after a land side engulfed an Industrial Park in shenzen, china. Rescue workers are struggling to free those who are trapped. Victoria gatenby reports. Nearly 1500 rescue workers have been on the scene throughout the night, trying to find survivors, a task hampered by the unstable ground. The landslide swept away everything in its pass. Including two dormitories for local workers. And area of 20,000 square meters is covered with soil. The landslide triggered an explosion at a nearby gas pipeline. Media suggested that the landslide occurred after construction acknowledge authorities had some warning because they had time to evacuate hundreds of people before the landslide engulfed the area. Translator more than 900 residents were evacuated. 7 people rescued from the landslide have been sent to hospitals. They do not have life threatening injuries. People are spending the night in local shelters. Chinese president xi jinping has ordered local authorities to do everything they can. Why a mountain of earth was stored so close to an industrial area. The immediate concern is to search for at least some of the victims who might still be alive. Adrian brown joins us live from beijing. What can you tell us about the search for the victims of the landslide . Well, randall, the figure for those missing continues to rise, more than 90 people according to local government officials who spoke to the media just a short time ago. The search operation continues. The police are using sniffer dogs to try to trace to find to search signs of life. They believe that those who are missing are in damaged buildings that are now submerged by mutt. So more than 100 mechanical diggers have been brought in to try get to those to clear that mud away and to hopefully reach the people. At times like this there is never a shortage of help, the police, the army, they all come together at times like this to help. Now, in terms of what caused this landslide, let me try and set the scene for you. We understand that just below this Industrial Park there was a disused quarry and that was being used by a number of construction firms to dump waste. Now over the years, the size of that mountain simply grew. Even the local people had expressed their concern about just how big this mountain was getting. Then on sun morning, somehow, all that mud came tumbling down onto the industrial complex. Yet the authorities seemed to know what was going to happen, what was likely because they managed to evacuate more than 900 workers. This was a sunday morning, remember. It was also a gas explosion just after the landslide. And the threat of more gas explosions remains. You can see on some of the pictures on state tv. Jets of mud shooting up into the air today. So it is still a very hazardous operation for rescue workers and of course this operation is going to continue you know probably for days. Adrian we also notice behind you and also in the scene from sheshenzen latest start of very serious fog alert. I mean smog alert. Yeah. Thats right randall. Weve had two red alerts in the last two weeks, the latest was on sunday, sat morning, that was the air quality index in fact on southern night rose to 391. Anything over 100 is considered dangerous, is considered serious. Today chinas government on the front of the Newspaper Daily said it was likely to meet its air Quality Improvement target for 2015 or 2016. What is surprising when you live here is how little anger there is amongst ordinary people. There is almost a fatalistic feeling that these days will be around for quite a bit longer and people are living with it despite hazard to their health. Adrian do try to find some clean air somewhere. Adrian brown for us. Whether we come back. Miss puerto rico suspended from the miss America Pageant for allegedly making antimuslim remarks.

One way to stop i. S. I. L. Is to attack their finances. Still ahead, in the week ahead, what we found out might surprise you. It is sunday night and time for our regular look at the week ahead. This week World Leaders are renewing their commitment to cut off funding to i. S. I. L. The United Nations Security Council has adopted a resolution to require countries to report steps they are taking, ton stop making ransom payments and trading with i. S. I. L. But it says some countries are not implementing the rules. The task of completely cutting off i. S. I. L. s cash flow will not not be easy. It taxes residents of its territories in iraq and syria, it sells ancient relics and receives contributions from wealthy donors. But oil is the groups largest Single Source of ingenious. I. S. I. L. Makes up to 50 million per month selling crude to areas it has conquered in iraq and syria. Al jazeeras Patricia Sabga takes a look at i. S. I. L. s finances. U. S. Air strikes, targeting i. S. I. L. s oil fields, border foot holes for its black market oil trade. A strategy aimed at a pillar of i. S. I. L. Economy and which analysts say is starting to bite. In the last few weeks weve seen the price of oil in raqqa doubling. Weve seen new agricultural taxes imposed a couple of days ago in darasur. Economists estimate i. S. I. L. Brings in 80 million u. S. Per month. Taxes tolls and protection money from civilians in areas it claims as a state. A very large number for a terrorist organization but a pretty small number for a state. One that has to pay and arm fighters while providing basic Services Like electricity and education. Oil revenues have been squeezed, the population it controls has been squeezed even harder. In iraq, the slaict ha islame has now been charging people a fixed price for leaving the caliphate. An exit tax resulting from a Coalition Strategy designed to degrade the group from the bottom up. The elite leadership lives like kings. The regional leaders live like baron and the local commanders live a whole lot better and are paid a lot better than the average citizen. In the long run that feudal structure could bring down i. S. I. L, but financially pull elg the civilians it controls. Patricia sabga, al jazeera. Joining us by skype from london is shawan zalaal. And from stanford, california brian fishman. Counterterrorism Research Fellow at new American Foundation and the author of studies on terrorism and al qaeda. Mr. Fishman do you have any idea how much money i. S. I. L. Has and how does it get its funds . I think your reporting shows sort of the stateoftheart in terms of the amount of money that i. S. I. L. Is bringing in. I think whats important to understand is that it is getting revenue from a variety of different ways. Both from the bottom up in terms of taxation, and what we might refer to as extortion from the population but also from the top down, through these sort of large scale state run enterprises, much of that is the oil industry but you also have cement, you also have agriculture, in some cases it seems like theyre running electricity grids and getting money from those vectors as well. This notion of sort of a multifaceted revenue stream is really important. Because it suggests that when we cut off one revenue stream they may be able to get revenue in other ways. And thats why its so important to have a really comprehensive multifaceted effort to cut down on their ability to raise money. Well, that question to mr. Did helal then about the United Nations to try ofreeze assets of i. S. I. L. Do you think the u. N. Resolution has a chance of being effective . What is your opinion of that strategy . Well, the i mean theres already a lot of measures there, since 9 11, the finance of terrorism has been really under very close scrutiny from all the banks institutions and the Financial Institutions around the world. The new measures i think is just rehashing the old ones. I think its already very difficult for terrorist groups to raise finances or move money about and so on. But they already worked out as we saw in paris, they used prepaid credit cards and so on. Most of their financing is in cash. And as your guest alluded to are in most of the trades and cash are within syria and iraq. These groups have proven to be very versatile. When one stream of funding is blocked or hindered they find other ways to make money. As we alluded to the electricity grids and various other things. Only today i was talking about a group about how even if you bomb their lets say the well heads in their oil facilities, what are you going to end up with . Because thee guys they make money after the trucking, they take charges after trucking coming back and forwards. The neighboring country you will have fume coming in, they still make money. Let me ask you about some specific methodologies, the zakat, the remittances, pretty sophisticated means of tapping into finances with or with without oil reasons correct . They do. Within the i. S. I. S. Territory you have tax collectors, people who know, informers who know the businesses, bigger businesses, individual businesses, they have access to their books. They have worked out sophisticated ways to cream off money or you can say take extortion or you can say taxation whatever you want to call it. But these guys are not going to just disappear. If you try to block them from high finance true end, i dont think that will work. I think the only way you can affect i. S. I. S. Finances is take away territory from them. What they control, they control huge territory, nearly five, 6 million population and thats their resource. They extort money from that resource. Whether it be human or assets on the ground. And they always work out how to take the money out of the system. Next question to you mr. Fishman. Im curious. Do you have any idea exactly who the brain child or brain trust is of i. S. I. L. s finances . Who organized this thing . It obviously takes someone who has some knowledge of, we understand that they also issue passes for people to sell arms that they have a very, very organized way of doing it. Whos behind that . Well, i think, you know, when you get right down to it a lot of people are behind it. One of the things that we have seen in i. S. I. L. And its predecessors, one of the things to understand now is i. S. I. L. Has been running these taxing rackets, since 2006. Theyve had a ten year head start doing this. When they were thought of simply as a terrorist organization in iraq. We know they were extorting businesses, doing had especially in mosul, who were pulling out money from construction companies, they have been doing this for a long time. One of the things weve seen throughout that is these fundraising mechanisms have been driven by the local provinces within what we now call the islamic state. So youre going to have you know sort of taxation officials running for those local provinces, raising money locally and then pushing some of the revenue all the way up to the National Level islamic state. And so whats really interesting here is that that taxation is going to be, you know, very, very federated. Out to i. S. I. L. Organizations. At the top level where you actually have i ver very complex Economic Organization he, outside of i. S. I. L. Controlled territory, those are the areas that you actually have centralization at the National Level. At that point is the place you might be able to have a real impact with some, if you can the proofs in the pudding with the new u. N. Resolution. It is easy to sign a piece of paper in new york but its harder to get iraq turkey syria and the various elements of those militaries to actually crack down. Mr. Fishman hold that thought for a point. I. S. I. L. Has looted millions of dollars from the governments its conquered in iraq. They took control of one million tons of grain from the government of nineveh province. I. S. I. L. Is also in control of 8,000 state owned properties in mosul from which it collects about 15 million a year in rent. I. S. I. L. Also saves money throughout the countries they control. The loot they take is sold on markets, a new car a motor bike or a set of tables and chairs a television will all go for about half price for those who pledge allegiance to i. S. I. L. So heres the question. There is this debate, is i. S. I. L. A state . Is it just an organization . My question to you and maybe well go back to you mr. Salal for this one. Does it really matter whether or not i. S. I. L. Is a state or an organization, if it can collect those kinds of funds . Well, the thing is, i. S. I. S. Is behaving like a state. And what theyre trying to do they are trying to live like a state. Their assets their territory is where they get their resources from. And for me if you let them stay there, they will, theres not going to be much movement, whether you have the various forces from the ground, whether you call it moderated kurd, nobody will be able to move them. The reality is on the ground where you have this group where the ideology, they proved they are actually able to run their territory pretty much like a state. Were talking about taxation, were talking about electricity grid, oil industry running. They control most of syrian oil for example. They have been trying the control, go for iraqi wells and you mention all these elements, the Banking System in iraq and various other, we forget about the military, they took tens of millions of equipment from the Iraqi Military they have been trading with this stuff. Mr. Telal, we are about to run out of time. Mr. Fishman, i. T. Came from the Iraqi Military but it really came from the americans which we handed it over when we pulled out of there. What do you do to stop i. S. I. L. In its tracks . I dont think i. S. I. L. Is going to be stopped in its tracks. The campaign against i. S. I. L. Is going to take a long time and we all have to get comfortable with that fact. The reality is i. S. I. L. In iraq and syria is on the defensive. Its losing territory especially in iraq. But thats going to be a long slow slog and were still going to be having this conversation years from now. Cracking down on i. S. I. L. Financing is going to be a lot of difference. Hundreds of millions of dollars, when you compare this to a group like al qaeda, this is an extraordinary amount of money. But i. S. I. L. Had a infrastructure like al qaeda never had to worry about. They have got to run soldiers acknowledge run hospitals and pay people to clean the street. Talking about how cheap a terrorist attack like the paris attack is, those are the things that al qaeda has to fund. I. S. I. L. Has to fund the socalled vagaries of every day life. In order to maintain the legitimacy of the areas they control, they have to provide a preliminary style of living. As our own leaders know, that is very much more easy to be said than done. They are having a difficult time to do it. Thank you gentlemen for joining us on al jazeera america. And before we go here is a look at other stories well be watching in the week ahead.
