A powerful island struck the island on tuesday. Tens of thousands of people have lost their homes and all of their belongings. The death toll stands at 144 people, and is expected to rise. Reporter this woman was born in this house. But all of it was destroyed in an instant. I dont know where to begin, how to begin. Im only looking at our house i have no mind set yet after this moment. Reporter more than 100 people were killed when the earthquake struck the region. The town was the epicenter of the 7. 2 magnitude quake. Rescue operations are underway. The local government says it is not optimistic. The chance of finding survivors is becoming slim. It damaged infrastructure such as sorts, hospitals, and public schools. It provides thousands of jobs to the people here including those living in outlying islands. Even heritage sites were not spared. Church was one of the very first built in the country. Its a major focal point for the catholics and also for southeast asia. The worlds famous children of the choir say the destruction of their church does not mean their culture has been obliterated too. Translator the church is just a symbol, the unity of the people here to be able to rise and recover. That is the real church. Reporter the Philippine Government says it is unable to assess the cost of the tragedy at the moment, but these children keep singing, hoping their voices will inspire others to rise above the ruins. And al jazeeras rob mcbribe is at the epty center of the earthquake. The president visited the area, rob, has aid reached the people there . Reporter that visit was a very important part i suppose of the recovery process. He came here and visited some of the damaged churches, and also met the people, very important to be meeting people in this part of the philippines. As you can probably hear just behind me, there is a band practice going on. There are signs of life returning to normal. It has to be paid for an awful lot of people this is a second anxious night. Many l be turning to their homes, others have been saying [ technical difficulties ] can indeed return home. This church is one of the most visible signs of the damage they have had here. And the evening mass was held outside. Many of these churches are just so unsafe for people to go inside. Yes, and this is going to have a devastating effect on the economy of the region, rob . Reporter it is, i mean this part particularly is really the commercial heartland of the central part of the philippines. Its a big shipment hub, tourism, and also commerce and business, and also we heard that shopping malls, a number of those have been closed because of structural damage, and they are waiting to see just what kind of repairs have to be done before they are safe again. Even the shopping malls that are open, and indeed office workers, people have been staying away from these large buildings, just concerned about being caught in one of these large structures and having another after shock. Rob, thank you very much. Now we are getting reports that a plane has crashed in southern laos. It crashed into the river just a few hours ago. At least 39 people have been confirmed dead.

Almost a Million People have lost their homes. Now to world us in. Talks between iran and world powers have now entered their second day in geneva. All sides have been hoping to break the dead lock over Irans Nuclear activities. Iran is under tight economic sanctions and p5plus1 has a number of conditions before those sanctions can be lifted. James what is the latest . Reporter they are still sitting around the table. You have on one side the p5plus1, on the other side you have the iranians, and they are going through all of the proposals put forward by iran. Were not getting much information about those technical discussions around the table behind that closed door, but we are getting one incite, and thats from the Iranian Foreign minister. He has posted on his Facebook Page his what he describes as his report of the situation, and he says that the iranian plan was welcomed by the p5plus1. He said they dealt with it positively, and he says he will soon be returning after there is a press conference here in tehran, and we expect to hear from the iranians and the european union. He will be returning to tehran, and he is saying there is likely to be more talks in the next couple of weeks. Do they want iran to stop enriching uranium completely . Reporter there are all sorts of technical issues. The enrichment slowly the International Community have eased their position. It looks like they are now going to allow some enrichment on iranian soil. The iranians, of course, want their sanctions eached as soon as possible. I think the general view of diplomats is they have been given a window to try to do diplomacy and get those sanctions ease, but it is not wane doe that will last forever. I dont think well get a deal in geneva but we might be getting the beginning of a deal. Okay. James thank you very much. And well go back to you as soon as theres any news coming out of those talks. Thank you very much, james bays. [ inaudible ] in syria has continued across the country over the eids period. At least 21 people have been killed in a bus explosion. Thousands of people have left the area in the last two days, and the groups posted this video, showing a Suicide Attack 50 kilometers north of damascus. Reporter now what im hearing from [ inaudible ] that a land mine struck a bus carrying people. Of course it took place in [ inaudible ] what is interesting is that it is surrounded by a number of syrian army bases in that area. That particular attack took place close to an air defense unit. Thats why syrian activists are accusing the government for being behind the attack, saying they put some land mines in the area. Now moving on to the video we showed about alqaeda, now they do say that a suicide fighter from their ranks detonated a charge against a building where that belongs to the syrian army. Theres no news on casualties, but from the videos that we have seen, the attack is massive. Still ahead on this news hour, more than a dozen People Killed as a powerful typhoon rips through japan. Plus it will be very bad for export. We will suffer a lot. Well tell you how possible u. S. Default could throw the Global Economy into disarray. And well tell you who is going to brazil and who will have to work harder to get though finals. U. S. Politicians have less than 24 hours to raise the Borrowing Limit or risk defaulting on its debt. They have been wrangling for two weeks over bought deal. Economists are warning the consequences will be felt globally and the United States Credit Rating could be down rated. Kimberly deadline 15 or so hours away, is this likely to be resolved any time soon . Reporter there are certainly hopes that it will be, and there is an effort in the u. S. Senate to work out a deal, but that has to pass the house of representatives. And thats where the problem has been all along. There are many in the House Administration who believe this is just fear mongering, and there isnt the dire concerns and Bleak Outlook that have been predicted. So there does seem to be a challenge, and i can tell you the fact that there are only 15 hours left, certainly does make it less likely that this can be worked out in time, given the legislative maneuvers that are possible. Its not impossible if this deal can be worked out, and is fast tracked, it could still make it to the president s desk in time to be signed into law. But that is contingent on the fact that they can get along. And if no deal is worked out, kimberly, how will that effects ordinary americans . Well, already there is a tremendous amount of anxiety and uncertainty. And this is the equivalent of if we hit the treasury deadline ceiling, this is the equivalent of an ordinary consumer maxing out their credit cards, but there still is a bit of cash reserve on hand, roughly 30 billion, so october 17th can come and go, and there may be the possibility some bills can be paid but about a week later is when the treasury has to make hard choices about which bills will be paid. So you could see Social Security payments, the Monthly Payments that go out to the elderly, those would not be sent out, Rising Interest Rates for consumers who are thinking about buying a car or house, they suddenly may not be able to do that, and then we know there could be tremendous Ripple Effect in the Financial Markets in the u. S. As well as around the world, so the concern is this could trigger recession, not just in the u. S. But also a global recession, so all of these factors combined are causing an awful lot of uncertainty. Thank you, kimberly. As kimberly mentioned there is fear that failure to reach a deal could effect the World Economy as a whole. From southern china, marga martinez reports. Reporter work here continues despite fears that the business is about to suffer a huge loss. Like thousands of other factories here, the products are exported all over the world. Should the United States default on its debt this would throw the world in chaos. Translator it will be very bad for export. We will suffer a lot. Reporter the worlds two largest economies are deeply interconnected. China is the largest foreign holder of u. S. Debt, and the u. S. Is chinas second largest export market. Much of the dollars were invested back into u. S. Treasury bonds. The Chinese Government has expressed his certain over the u. S. Possibly defaulting on its debt. They have called the u. S. A hypocritical nation with a dysfunctional government, saying this is the time to deamericanize the world. The default is more like technical reason rather than fundamental reason. So i dont know what will happen. Reporter but one thing is certain, whatever does happen will effect not just china, but the entire World Economy. If the u. S. Does not break its dead lock, it will help prove chinas point that u. S. Power in Global Affairs is declining. A powerful typhoon has hit the coast of japan. Reporter typhoon packed winds of up to 180 kilometers per hour. It tore up the east coast. The island here bore the brunt of the typhoons fury, a staggering 800 millimeters of rain fell here within 24 hours. Thats more than twice what the island usually gets for the entire month of october. Most of the dead were buried in the deluge. Typhoons normally dont take this kind of a toll as it has on this occasion. The tie phone as they are calling it a once in a decade typhoon, and looking at the damage on this one island in particular, does seem to be devastating. Reporter storm warnings caused people to get out of the capitol. And many were stranded where flights were grounded. The previous typhoon was powerful, but the storm sped through within around 24 hours, avoiding prolonged bad weather. Now it is concentrated on finding the many people who are still missing, and cleaning up what the typhoon left behind. All right. Lets get an update on the weather in japan and else now. Thanks very much. Would you believe we have the 26th typhoon of the season just waiting in the wings to push up towards japan. Thats this area of cloud we have out in the open waters. It is going to make its way further northwards towards japan. Well close in to japan and you can see we saw a staggering 246 millimeters of rain in only 24 hours for tokyo. 823 in that same period of time. It did move through very quickly, brighter skies coming in behind, and thats good news. We have got some heavy showers coming to the western side of japan, but essentially it is a drying up process, things are in the process of quieting down. Making our way into vietnam, we have seen very heavy rain here as well of course. Laos is seeing heavy downpours as is the case in thailand. Good parts of china staying very well over the next couple of days. Foreign forces prepare to leave afghanistan, and the International Community has promised to continue giving aid money. More than 60 billion has already been donated, but little has reached the people who need it most. Jane ferguson reports. Reporter a life lived here is one of the toughest in afghanistan. In kabuls camp some of the pourest people in the country, struggle to survive. Most have lead the fighting in the south. A camp elder says finding help from the government is impossible. Translator it has been five years that i have been struggling to help these people. I have not stopped. For gods sake come here and see the situation of the people. A wealthy person wouldnt even let a dog live in theses. Reporter as Foreign Forces move out, continuing aid has been promised by though International Community. But over 60 billion has already been poured into the country, much of it wasted, and very little of it having gone to people like this. This doctor is an economist who leaves aid money has been wasted. And as instability increases as the forces leave [ technical difficulties ] the pouring of millions of dollars on [ inaudible ] if the Afghanistan Government will not become a responsible partner, we have to bring the mechanisms that would ensure accountability. Reporter to most, accountability doesnt exist. Translator food and other things do not come to us. Reporter this place has become famous for children freezing to death in winter. 12 years of war and foreign aid has brought little help to them. Many now turn to prayer for help instead. Jane ferguson, al jazeera, kabul, afghanistan. Bow shack is the unrepresentative in afghanistan. He joins us live in kabul. So what has happened to all of the aid money . Why are we still seeing so many people in such desperate conditions . Well, i think first of all good evening. And i think what we are seeing is the consequences of 30 years of long war, hostilities, and impact from from all sides. What we are also seeing and i think we could see it just a few minutes behind me, the number of cranes in kabul and the number of other programs that have happened, and not the least a city that is booming from 1 million about ten years ago where i was Walking Around in ruins, and today in a situation of a Huge Industry of about 5 million estimated population. So certainly not all of it has been wasted. The Afghan Government recently drafted a policy to help resettle some of the displaced people inside the country to other areas. Do you think this is a good solution . I certainly think the whole irk you of returning refugees and displaced persons is one of the biggest challenges, and one of the challenges that maybe has not gotten the attention it should. Indeed this new policy on displacement is definitely the way forward to try to deal with it, but it needs very significant attention from everybody. If afghans are worried that the security situation will deteriorate sharply next year as the u. S. Completes its withdrawal. Are you expecting more people to leave afghanistan in different areas of the country once the foreign troops pull out . All right this year and already over so many years we have seen very displacement inside and outside of the country. We are also seeing continued displacement happening and from our side on the humanitarian front, we are trying to find a solution that allows people to come back, and at least to deal with certain parts of the displacement situation. But the displacement will take place in the continuing situation there is probably little doubt. However the message is that we need to get to a stable situation, and that all actors should really move towards a situation of peace. What precisely do you see as the long term sustainable solution to afghanistans displacement and refugee problem . Livelihood opportunities, obviously is the main issue. Its an issue of getting people returning and ability to find services and find livelihood opportunities. On the one side people are seeking to come to cities. They are deciding and i listen to the interview just before they are often living in dramatic and tragic situation in the city because they believe livelihood is here. Everybody is trying to focus on agriculture, on the rural areas, much more than the urban areas, because agriculture is the only big sector that really can provide livelihood. However, people displaced in afghanistan as many other places in the world are deciding to move to urban areas, because this is closer to schools, to education, and what they believe are better livelihood opportunities. Okay. Thank you so much for take the time to talk to us. Thanks for your time, sir. Thank you very much.

Thats the overall message in this years global index on hunger. Every year the index maps nutrition in the developing world. Since 1990 when records began, governments in the middle east and africa have all made significant strides in feeding their people. Some individual countries, though, havent. The top three performers in this years index are. So what makes a country good attack attack at tackling hunger. The top performer this year. Thank you for being on al jazeera. So for countries like india and swasyland who havent made great progress in feeding their people it is solely due to a lack of political will . Thank you for having me. We developed this index to show what countries do, what actions they are taken in terms of addressing hunger and nutrition. And political will is a really important prerequisite. Unless we measure what governments are doing and failing to do, and recognize what they do well, we cannot keep governments to account. So what were seeing in countries like india is that commitment levels can be higher, theres no doubt about that, of course the odd and the situation is very serious, particularly in terms of child stunting rate. But political commitment has to be part of the solution. It cannot be the only solution, but its a necessary part of the solution. What prevents some governments from making efforts to address hunger in their countries . One very important reason is accountability. People may know what their government are up to, so we developed the hunger and new tradition index to show what governments are doing, because we feel its really important for communities that suffer from hunger, and for Civil Society groups to be able to have the information at that fingertips to engage in a construction dialogue with their governments. So where you can get greater accountability, and generate greater commitment to do something. If theres no accountability, and no incentive for governments to act further on hunger and new tradition. Tell us about some of these Success Stories . Africa there has been some very serious progress. And had very serious issues in the past. Why have they been able to make progress and not some of the other countries in africa. Some of the factors are toplevel political leadership. So in molia the president is taking measures and take themselves responsibility for these issues of hunger and new tradition. They show vision and commitment. They put in place really important measures in terms of putting in place programs that are programs that are trying to tackle the key challenges, and we have toplevel political commitments so there is bound to be less impacts.
