Commemorations have been held in lebanon marking the exact moment one month ago that a catastrophic explosion tore through the capital beirut people paused in a moment of remembrance at 6 o 8 pm thats the time almost 3000 tons of Ammonium Nitrate ignited in the citys ports sending a devastating blast wave across the city more than 200 people died and thousands were wounded lets go live now to beirut aljazeera is zenyatta is the senate will talk more about that ongoing rest. Behind you in just a few minutes but 1st talk us through what happened an hour ago during that commemoration. Lebanese that marked the one month since that explosion at beirut ports which really changed the lives of so many people in this city damaged and destroyed neighborhoods some 191 People Killed 7 people remain missing 6500 wounded many of them critically many of them life changing in the injuries 300000 people made homeless. And this is a cash strapped country already reeling from a dire economic crisis so many people unable to pick up the pieces of their lives without any help and the government is unable to do much because the state this nearly bankrupt so the people here are relying on the support of local and international n. G. O. S but its just not enough the demands there so that the demands are great and its not just that people want to manage just this accountability theyre saying its been a month what has happened with the with the investigation authorities initially promised a swift investigation 5 days its now a month and only yesterday they question the high ranking official the caretaker Prime Minister because he just like so 2 many other senior officials were aware of the presence of thousands of tons of Ammonium Nitrate safely stored in a warehouse of beirut ports so people are demanding answers and theyre demanding just this one month zeta rescue is source that theyve found signs of life the need the building thats behind you whats the latest on the operation. And i think. The latest what we understand from a member of the chilean team which is leading this rescue and search operation there is no more life they carried out these 8 sensor tests in the past few hours and they were not able. Detect breathing what happened was over 24 hours ago that chilean team was in this neighborhood they were assessing the damage to the buildings in order to know whether or not these structures were still sound and their dogs detected them to the possibility of a corpse in this collapsed building so certain rescue and Search Operations have continued since then they they detected 18 breaths per minute yesterday this morning it was 7 breaths per minute and now they are not able to detect anything so the chances of finding a survivor are quite slim what they said yesterday was they believe that there is a dead body as well as a possible survivor and we still do not know if indeed there is a dead body as well the so a lot of uncertainty but a lot of anger because that building was not searched by the authorities a building that collapsed there is a pub as well as a chocolate store on the ground floor and it was never searched and thats why people are furious theyre saying this is just another example of the states failure and incompetence. I was there as a 100 reporting live from beirut saying that many thanks to. Cyprus says that it will strip 7 people of citizenship for violating the terms of the scheme offering socalled golden passports in exchange for investment it follows now to syria investigation into a cache of leaks documents they revealed european passports have been sold to a number of convicted criminals fugitives and political figures considered to be a high risk for Money LaunderingDeborah Davis led that investigation and says the cypriot government is under pressure to act. Its not news theyre recycling something that they said in november of 2019 when another scandal because this scheme has been plagued by scandal for several years revealed the names of people who should not be given passports at the time the government said it was going to strip our sports from about 30 people and 26 names emerged then in may of this year in a form or applied to us the ministry of the interior said theyd already begun to strip the passports from 11 people so 26 had already shrunk to 11 now it seems to have shrunk to 7 and non of those names are among the names that we revealed in the cyprus papers we had about 30 people by the convicted wanted or under investigation for the crime as far as i can tell the secret government is not reacting to any of those revelations i think whats going on is that they are very. Pressurised by the criticism and the fundamental criticism is what they are not addressing the fundamental criticism is that these schemes attract dirty money they try to criminals who want to hide proceeds of crime and they try to people who want to hide themselves because theyre wanted in their home countries so green with the rules saying youre going to take the passports away from a handful of people they may think thats going to deflect the criticism but its not going to end it.

S. War veterans the atlantic magazine says that during a 1st war centenary ceremony the president described u. S. War dead as loses it says that an unnamed Senior DefenseDepartment Official reportedly confirmed the comments and the trump refused to visit a veteran ceremony in france because it was raining. Would be negative. Because it. Would be the military getting. It. Back and. Get. Laughed out of washington our White House Correspondent kimberly helka can tell us more so kimberly to nialls from the president and the big efforts again by the white house to refute another story. The u. S. President reiterating his feelings about the atlantic magazine as he met in the oval office with the leaders of cost of 0 as well as serbia in the last half hour the president once again disparaging the atlantico saying that this is a fake story its a disgrace theyre allowed to do it and then were furring to the soldiers that lost their lives in conflict he says theyre heroes so theres no question that the president is angry about this story he not only have a 7 minute rebuttal on the tarmac there in that clip that you just played in the dark of night but hes also had the White House Communications team refuting it on twitter and as well we have heard the from the president on twitter where he says the atlantic magazine is a dying magazine and they made up a fake story to gain relevance its very clear that the president is concerned about this and already his opponents are seizing on it in an ad an attack ad this is certainly going to be a problem for the president who continues to deny that he referred to Service Members as losers or even war hero who the now dead former senator john mccain how much damage could this do to the president s campaign for reelection. Lot of damage because he needs the military vote in order to win reelection he had a big time in 20162020 though it looks like theres some trouble for the president according to a recent poll asking about how the military viewed its commander in chief joe biden seemed to get a more favorable rating as a potential commander in chief as president by about 6 Percentage Points last time in 2016 donald trump was ahead of his rival Hillary Clinton by 20 Percentage Points so its a big problem for this president he needs it particularly in swing battleground states where a lot of veterans live like North Carolina having said that President Trump has just received a Huge Campaign endorsement from a major police Union Tell Us more about. Yeah the fraternal order of police is one of the oldest Police Associations in the United States and it has just canvassed its members some several 100000 in fact 33500000 i believe and what they are saying is that they support donald trump particularly in light of the fact that he has quote have their backs in the recent social justice unrest and rioting and protests that weve seen in the United States now of course there is widespread protesting too many of the viral videos weve seen in recent weeks and months with regard to White Police Officers and the accusations of Police Brutality and systemic racism against particularly communities of color africanamerican latino so the u. S. President has defended the police throughout saying look at these are isolated incidents a few bad apples but overwhelmingly the police are all decent and honorable human beings that want to serve their communities so this is really resonated appears with the police throughout the United States and as a result hes got this much sought after indorsement a White House Correspondent kimberly how could reporting live from washington many thanks indeed to kimberly.
