A massive explosion in the heart of the lebanese capital the blast sent shock waves across beirut shattering windows destroying buildings. And injuring hundreds the streets were filled with panic and confusion as people try to make sense of what happened most of the so you are all my car was down there it rolled over i think my injuries are because of the loss the loss cut me up my car was like this im about the. I dont know what happened i was fishing i heard there was a fire so i began to hit home then i heard something explode and then this happened i got injured this is all i know. Rescue work began quickly and emergency vehicles converged on the side of the blast from far and wide putting out fires and getting the injured to safety lebanons internal security chief confirms the blast originated in the 4th district in a section housing highly explosive materials but he said any further speculation would preempt an investigation lebanons Prime Minister has addressed the nation promising that the victims would get justice for what had been doing as he said it would not pos without accountability those responsible for these catastrophes will pay the price this is a promise to the martyrs and the injured this is some National Commitment and. While the causes some are already blaming the government lebanon is an accident waiting to happen in so many ways so many places whether its. Public Services Like just all kinds of Government Industries are not regulated well we dont have like inspectors that so many buildings could collapse so you know again all the problems that lebanon face because they dont really have a strong government that is able to ensure the safety of its citizens and thats been why people have been protesting thats why the currency has been balling so you know there are so many possible accidents going on so its very hard to speculate i mean ellen says continue to arrive at this explosion there have been dozens of casualties. Many victims are still trapped in the rubble and rescue work looks set to continue long into the night the destruction of central beirut appear to come out of nowhere and theres the shock of what happened subsides the demands for answers will continue to grow louder so now for their favorites.

The material is stored it was in the have your number 12 which is one of the biggest and they store all flammable and that order material that is highly sensitive to explosions and otherwise and those who are stuck there by quote a touring because theyre not allowed to enter lebanon and they were basically trying to get them into lebanon using excuses off using them for fertilizers so that he ports so far saying and it seems that something terribly when drunk there and they were not stored properly there was a lot of flammables and that region and then there was a massive fire followed by intense 6 production which basically destroyed 2 to 30 kilometer radius of homes and houses around i was one of those who who is missing or the glass and an entire entrance to a house because of the blast basically its negligence you have got the Customs Department that responsible for it and then youve got the ministry of defense because they have that i thought to supervise anything off an explosive nature such as dynamite and others and include including the ammonium by traits that exploded this evening. As there is for reports of beirut by the way is 80 percent of all imports into lebanon so it is the main vein its the main ought to be for this economy for food for medicine for everything right next to it is the massive the biggest storage and if you see the footage youll notice the big dominant White Building thats the strategic game reserve for lebanon which got completely destroyed and that means wheat it means 3 months off wheat and i dont deport there are a can use 2 or 3 of the biggest managers and 11 on board so produce the flour for the bread so the damage is massive on every scale. Well mentally fit is a former Lebanese Health minister hes been helping to treat the injured in speeches in an area i was shooting at my home i told my family shouted the kids theres an earthquake and immediately in my covered lives everything collapsed.

Injuries how good was the meeting the last 30 percent injuries acceleration injuries syllis injuries what with the club in medical care you know the huns i was near the port when the blast happened and she told us what she experienced i was in tears away from the Electricity Establishment and lebanon which is parallel to the port Lebanese Court i started hearing bombs and people were like they stopped and they got in the middle of the street and we thought it said its a clash between the government and the professor neither the establishment than we kind of natural but we heard kind of plain and i was asking people whats going on i want to know if i continue to go back. I saw the. Fire i spoke of the smoke and then we heard d the voice and i i dont remember what happened when i went out of my car and i wait for the entrance of one of the building but then i realized that the building was destroyed.

From my work and i just tell me what happened to know if i say that oh and i go i cant go back home but they said mother things because you know the news to that it was an attack happy it is made but then they said i dont go back so i realized that it was an explosion and i cant run away i cant believe im still alive i cant really. Be as former president of auto rebase as the Supremes Court has ordered his detention its part of an investigation into alleged witness tampering and fraud believe is a mentor of current president even duty whos right wing party is known for its loyalty to the former leader and to his repeatedly declared his innocence and questioned the courts independence. The defender betty joins us live from the capital bogota so how significant is this development. Lauren this is definitely one of the biggest news this year besides the. In columbia something that truly shocked not only the political system but also the nation as a whole. Few people would ever have believed that the. Former president to david would have faced the tension or did any investigations against him and there are more than 200. 00 ongoing right now would have. Reached this point never before a president or a former president of the country was ordered to be detained well thats the case now where do you base somebody that till today was considered absolutely touchable in this country he remains the most powerful police titian in the country one of the most influential and also one of the most divisive for half a colombian sees practically a savior for the successes during his 2 administrations against marxist get ready yet for his critics though these successes of come at a very high cost when you look at the human rights in the country they consider him a close to right wing paramilitary groups responsible for some of the worst massacres in the in the country and extrajudicial killings by the tauzin that happened doing is in many straits and so its a very very divisive issue here and one that has shocked the nation does he have any Legal Recourse against something from the Supreme Court. Well and this is just a truly the beginning of the trial which actually started now 9 months ago we were expecting this 1st decision that the judges formally charging him with fraud and these bribery charges in this siding if he was going to be. Sent to home detention or not 9 months ago it took a very long time to get to this point it will probably take many more months for days that to move forward because of the political pressure because of what it means symbolically and in this country and because of what it means for a number of. Investigation and ongoing trials of people who are close to or who are also allegedly have ties with paramilitary groups so hell probably stay in this farm close to me that you know as this trial continue were going to have to see the consequences also on his party on president ducat that has just come out on television saying once again that he will forever believe the innocence of a president to be a man he says is than so much for this country and so there is. Expectation to see whats going to happen with this trial if he is then finally found guilty he will be able to appeal so this will probably create many more months of people across the political system in colombia anderson from beijing thank you very much.
