A missing Indonesian Submarine leading them to conclude all on board have perished. Developing story out of iraq 1st of all where doctors say at least 20 people have been killed after an explosion inside a baghdad hospital a fire burned through a ward where coated 19 patients were being treated its understood an accident caused an oxygen tank to explode right now the fire has been put out so wonderful things our correspondent in baghdad keeping an eye on this one early hours of sunday morning now simona tell us more on what more you know. Well the fire broke out late night on saturday. Hospital in south east that in its i. C. U. Ward you understand it at that time there were 120 patients at med it and that the war in addition to health staff as well as family members who are allowed to stay. Patients even overnight the death toll is still rising we understand a dozen have died as a result of this fire which we understand at this point was caused by the explosion of an a poorly stored oxygen cylinder in the i. C. U. Ward now the fire has already been put out the surviving patients have been transferred to to nearby hospitals but many of them of course have been severely injured and we understand the death toll may still rise and of course this comes at a time when iraq is battling a surge in covert 19 infections just last wednesday the country registered the highest number yet with over 8600 new coronavirus cases which was the highest since the onset of the pandemic and the total number of cases have now exceeded 1000000. 00 in iraq and of course this i. C. U. Ward that was a blaze tonight was one of those you wards that isnt admitting and treating coronavirus patients and of course its one of the many setbacks and challenges the country has faced in fighting the pandemic kind of what i wanted to ask someone who was about the sort of state of. Medical facilities and the infrastructure in iraq maybe not specifically this hotel. Hospital i know but tell me about the state of the infrastructure. Well iraqs Health Care Sector is extremely underfunded if you look at the Health Expenditure capita its among the lowest in the region and what it looks like on the ground in hospitals is that they lack a very basic supplies even like such a sutras for example and this particular hospital like many others doesnt for example have a centralized oxygen system where patients can. Basically put on masks and inhale oxygen as theyre needed so you have these oxygen cylinders that must be placed next to the patients which are of course also stored inside the hospitals and we understand that was the source of the explosion so of course this incident has reignited anger among the public about the poor state of the Health Care Sector especially during the pandemic there have theres already been outrage about the delays in iraq receiving the covert 19 vaccines that they have also been criticism of the Health Ministry in terms of how it has failed to equip its hospitals with protective gear with basic necessities really to fight the pandemic so this is just the latest example in how people feel the government has really failed to supply the Health Care Sector to really equip it to try to not just fight this pandemic but provide Health Care Services to iraq hes in general thank you for that update simone of 14 in baghdad on to other news and u. S. President joe biden has formally recognized the 915 mass killings of armenians and the crumbling Ottoman Empire as an act of genocide in a written statement the us president said this we remember the lives of all those who died in the ottoman era. Genocide and recommit ourselves to preventing such an atrocity from occurring again he added we do this not to cast blame but to ensure that what happened is never repeated. Turkey rejecting that statement though and of some of the Us Ambassador in ankara in protest foreign minister. Said words cannot change or rewrite history we have nothing to learn from anybody on our own past political opportunism is the greatest betrayal to peace and justice entirely rejects that statement based soley on populism well for i mean this is a watershed moment at home and among the extensive diaspora worldwide president bidens announcement coincided with the 106th anniversary of the mass killings the armenian Prime Minister nicole passion young says it is a powerful step towards justice lets hear from tion who is a former Foreign Affairs advisor to the armenian Prime Minister and founder and editor in chief of media he told us the recognition is important because it will now affects domestic and foreign u. S. Policy. This is historic this is historic for many reasons this is historic because it is the 1st time well. President Ronald Reagan back in the day in 1901 also once mentioned the word genocide but this is key because the white house and executive in the u. S. Are now formally recognizing it which will mean that there will be policy changes and those policy changes will be both domestic in the United States and in the Foreign Policy of washington its not just important to us its important because once you use the word it becomes a legal and politically binding process which means that there should be responsibility carried out because of that thats why turkey is more afraid of the word than anyone else so they are ready to hear anything that theyre ready to accept the deputations which are factually based by the autumn on archives but theyre afraid of the word genocide because that will mean theres a very clear ramifications for the turkish state and i think that thats part thats part of the reason why the socalled g u warrant which the turks were calling for a number of years for decades now has been basically one of the big stigma for them now by President Joe Biden statement it is finally becoming clear that the United States which has long recognized the Armenian Genocide which has armenian communities that ended up in this country because of that genocide is now formally talking about it and hes formally going to make it part of its policy and that remains to be seen. We also heard from talkies president ial spokesman a bit of him colleen who told us joe biden statement has no legal basis our president the president had gone made a call back in 2005 to form. A joint Commission Commission of historians turkish armenian russian british and other historians to look into what happened exactly in 115 before and after and we open our archives so all the facts in fact are available but again as i said driven by political. Agendas never a political agenda unfortunately some of these parliaments and governments have chosen to accept this armenian propaganda of the killing of armenians in 1915 historical facts are out there what is presented as a case for genocide has no historical basis has no legal basis in fact to call anything a genocide you need an International Court established particularly for that purpose this is the case with syrup anita and rwanda 2 recent cases of genocide in modern history in closer history you have to International Courts deciding on this and there is no such Court Decision so why use this term if it doesnt have any legal basis and it only has turn issue has negative political consequences we. Communicated all this points to the Us Administration but its clearly a day its clear that they make this statement without any historical grounds without any legal or political grounds other than the fact that they just. You know play into the hands of a group of lobbyists for this and unfortunately this of course casts a doubt and clout on us turkish relations but also it makes in our efforts to normalize relations with our many a much more difficult well theres a strong i mean population in los angeles and thats where rob reynolds is for us now rob tell us about reaction there today. Welcome all im standing on the grounds of the armenian Martyrs Memorial monuments and today on this marine member and stay of the for the armenian people many Many Americans and members of the Diaspora Community are here theyre laying flowers at the memorial many of the wearing dark colors to denote the somberness of the occasion but the people that we have spoken to here are us are in agreement with one of your guest said that this is a landmark watershed day this is a very important thing for the Armenian American Community something that they have pushed for over many successive president ial terms and they expressed gratitude to President Joe Biden for what he did and what he said in that statement you know it is really almost central to the identity of armenians in the diaspora and in their homeland in the republic of armenia in the caucasus that the the. Events of the 1915 and thereafter that took the lives of so many people at the hands of the Ottoman Empire. As one man told me a wound that never heals and keeps festering and it is somewhat of a step towards healing and recognition to have the United States. Use the word genocide in relation to the armenian experience and people say that they hope that this is a step towards turkey eventually coming around and deciding to change its view of history. In and to put it into accord with what most historians say actually happens elsewhere in the los angeles region which as you noted is that one of the centers of the. Diaspora in the United States the. There were a large crowd of people who marched waving flags to the army to the turkish consulate in hollywood they were shouting shame shame on turkey and waving the armenian flag that was a one. Response a response a somewhat of continued anger but here it is more of a question of solemnity of remembrance and of gratitude to the u. S. And to the u. S. President biden from all thank you rob reynolds reporting from the. Still ahead for you Southeast Asian leaders hold talks with me and miles military leader and have agreed on a 5 point plan calling for an end to the violence and code for new zealand stages the Worlds Largest concert since the country endemic again.
