Fast moving changes. He will injoe us live from havana. Plus, paying to plane, from pbs to hbo, sesame street moves to a new neighborhood, with kermit and the gang learning the abcs, of pay tv. We begin this hour, where there has been a dramatic rise in the death toll from two fiery warehouse explosions officials now report at least 50 people were killed and a dozens of others are missing. We are getting our first aerial look at the immediate aftermath, this video was reported by a drone. The huge blast came at a crucial asian sea port used by several person countries the facility contained hazardous chemicals and shock waves from the explosion officials estimate the number of people injured now stands at more than 700. At this hour, the Chinese Government is trying to assess environmental dangers to the region, and on that count, the fears are growing. Adrian brown reports. Here in the port city, one of chinas most important hubs with the population of more than 15 million people, there are still many more questions than answers today. We still dont know for sure, mr. The air of the people of the city are breathing in is safe or not. The government insists that it is. It says there are no traces of cyanide in the air, even though we node the company where these chemicals had been stored had in the past been soaring cyanide in its warehouse. Now behind me. You can see evidence of the destruction. We have some twokilometers awayi from the epicenter of those blasts and yet you can see the devastation is complete. Some 6,000 people have been evacuated from their homes. They have spent the night in temporary accommodation, in tents and also in rah local school. We know this morning that some 50 people are now confirmed dead. There are 71 people seriously injured 17 of the dead we know are fireman. Theres been a lot of comment on social media, about why the fireman were so young, and whether they were adequately trained to deal with a chemical disaster, on this scale. Sadly, chemical accidents like this are not uncommon, during the past five months there has been one serious chemical incident every month. So that, of course, is focused attention once more on chinas safety, its industrial safety. There is a pattern, because as Rapid Economic Development has happened you are seeing factories being built closer and closer to residential areas. 15 years ago, the area where i am standing now would have been just patty fields now it is a Major Industrial zone, very close to residential areas. What is doing to happen, well, people as i say, are demanding answers. We still dont know how this disaster happened, and we still dont know why, dangerous chemicals were stored so close to a residential area. But chinas government is watching closely. Because they worry about this, because they know that the stress, anxiety, can very quickly lead to the one thing it fears most, which is anger, on a mass scale. Rick, more than 50 killed 700 injured in this huge explosion in northeast china, can something on that scale happen here in the United States. Absolutely. If it is in the right city, and many big city have several plants overlapping in crowded areas in industrial areas. So we estimate based on reports by the chemical industry, two epa, that about 110 million americans live in what is call add vulnerability zone. Are they any less vulnerable than they were a few years ago after that explosion, the chemical incident in west texas, 15 people were killed, where safeguards put in place after that. Nothing really significant has been done. The president did issue an executive order, president obama issues it two years ago august 1st. Directing federal agencies to require facilities to upgrade and when you are talking about arson, or a deliberate attack, it can cause pure havoc around these, right. As long as they are used thats correct. Some sort of malfunction, or human error, or even a sabotage or terrorism. Can easily leverage an event. The wrights is generally safer than china . Well, one would hope so, given the population density, perhapses. But it is certainly no comfort to communities from houston to l. A. , to new jersey, philadelphia, miami, where these facilities are in the city orb next to it, endanger like i said, about 460 put 160 each put 1 million americans at risk, so this is a global problem. It is a global economy, and until we modernize, a greener and safer technology, yes, we will be ever presence rick, thank you for joining us. Happy to help, thank you. Now, to the fall out from the toxic spill from a gold mine in colorado, the Navajo Nation has said it will sue the epa after millions of gallons of contaminants leaked into waterways today the head of the epa many et with the Navajo Nation. Allen is on the banks of the river in farmington new mexico with the later, allen. Describing the actions of the federal government, and the navajo tribe, as cooperative. And their partners working through these various challenges. Partners that understand that sometime in the future they are likely top opponents in court. Thats the future. The immediate concerns the ever the tribe and the epa, water, the quality and available. Continues her visit to the region eight days after the contaminanted the san juan rivers. She tours part of the navajo reservation, with tribal president , and other leaders. And says the tribe and agency are partners have a good working relationship, despite navajo threats to sue over the spill. The epa is not unfamiliar with litigation, but frankly, none of that was in the discussion. And we lope to continue to pilled a relationship, with the new president we expend a lot of time, they are full partners right now in terms of being able to samp. People living nearby not to use the water for crops. Animals or drinking. It is their livelihood, their money, their way of life. And the live stock, we have to go in hot water 20 miles away for them to get water. We found eagle horse chief and her granddaughter at a roadside stand, not far from the formation, that gives the town its name. Promises from the e. P. A. Rings hollow here. Confident of the federal government. Thats right. You want me to use my language . No, they are not going to. Until testing shows con tom nation, has eased. The epa has said they expect test results very soon from the lower stretch, and the upper stretches of the san juan and down into lake powell, we dont know what soon means we didnt give a time line for that, but they will get that information, that testing information, and then give that to local authorities who can make decisions about exactly how to deal with water in this area. David. Allen f shoff legislator, thank you very much. As allen mentioned the toxic fleury is now flowing through waterways and headed to lake powell on the utah arizona boarder, lake powell is one of the nations largest reservoirs. Science and Technology Correspondent is at lake powell tonight, put this spill in perspective as we think about the other rinks to the water supply in the west. And for the National Park service, are preparing for what they say will be a very small and diluted quantity of these. That came out of this spill. They are setting up traps and water test tag silties all around this lake but when you talk to veterans it is surprising the way they react. It is hot the first time this kind of thing has happened. Sometimes there have been bigger spills that have come down. We are pleased we have a good base line of what is the contaminant now. The one beyond the damn that you can see here. They supply all of the water that basically a big huge chunks of the western United States. Need without them, las vegas would not exist, los angeles would havent the water that it needs. So the people here are really used to having to put on an incredible fight. They are just under assault in a way by climate change, the lake here is 100 feet lower than it normally is, theres no sign that it will come pack. The let ramp launches dont even reach the water, so water is a huge problem. So this pill almost insult to injury. And the injury is just keep. Cooing and coming. Given that crucial role that they play in terms of the west, and the water supply out there, are officials reconsidering anything preventive measure they can do given their depends on lake powell and lake immediate. You would assume there would be a Crisis Management system going on here, just with the muscles alone, which can clog up the water work which is provides power to huge swaths all of that, you would think that they would have people able to decontaminate the boats. We did the math on the 28 people available to do those inspections, to do that kind of contamination, they would have to decontaminate ten boat as day, seven day as week, all year long to come anywhere close they are screeched too thin, so instead it is about education. At lake powell in arizona, jake, thank you. Former cuban president says the United States owes cuba millions of dollars in damages caused by the half century trade embargo. He is speaking out as cub boo prepares for a visit. Tomorrows flag raising ceremony will be relatively brief, but it reaches the end of a long diplomatic freeze. More were effected by or divided by thenings thes, our own an tore owe morrow knows the story well. He is back there tonight, antonio, how does it feel to be there. It is good to be here, david, and according to the u. S. Census bureau, there are more than 2 million cuban americans in the United States. That is almost the population of havana, almost a fit of the population of the whole island, a National Poll in the u. S. Showed that most cuban american as slight majority what happens so u. S. Cuba relations is deeply personal for most, as is returning to the place where we were important. It was for me. Here in the old section along the bay, and we are heading to the house where i lived as a baby, and i havent been there in almost 20 years. Coffering the ceremonyny gave me the rare chance to return. And i still know one persons that livers in the house, she works with my family and never left. She homicide been taking care of this house. The government decided to subdivide it into apartments. And there are 11 parts here. She is telling me that these days they maintain the house, the government is involved they want to keep it up because it is a historic house, and they want to make sure because it is in the tourist area, that it shows off havana, in a positive liability. The daughter offered to give me a tour. For decades the house decayed the salt from the sea air taking its toll. It is breaking down, falling apart. And this was a stain classed window and i guess some of the molding is still left, as you can see most of it hassle facilitien apart. Ironically, even though it is stained it is still beautiful. Maybe it height be able to be cleaned some day. We ran into another tenant. Turns out he lives in my room, when i was a child. He is going to show us. A room i hadnt seen since i was two. So i guess this is where i slept as a child. Only then did he learn who i was. The i pray a lot for your family. He said, whispering come back. Before leaving we shared family photos. He was most excited to see a picture of my mom in miami. 55 years apart, despite living little more than 200 miles away. David, i am very lucky in that i have been able to come pack three times now, as a journalist, i have never been to the room where i had lived as a toddler, it was quite a moment for me. I do hope some day to bring my family here to see the place i come from. Antonio, was it tough going back and seeing the room that you lived in . I am only imagine the emotions that would flood through somebody. It was emotional, but i have been back a couple of times. The first time back in 1998, was a much harder and more difficult it was more difficult time for me. It was very emotional, it is emotional to be here again. Theres been some controversy over cuban disdonts what can we expect to see . We dont know. They are not inviting to the flag raising ceremony, so we dont know what will happen with that. There has been very harsh credit similar of the state department for not inviting them. Marco rubio in particular has. Very vocal. Say it is a new low for the administration, and saying it is pathetic, the way they are treating the prodemocracy activists because human rights continues to be a significant issue here, and does dents have continued to be relations. Antonio reporting, thank you very much, and tomorrow night everybody antonio will be anchoring in havana with a wrap of the days evented as the flag is raised over the embassy, our special report, the u. S. And cuba, a new era, airs at 9 00 eastern time right here on al jazeera america. Up next, sexslavery within isil we will explore what the horrifying crimes say about the groups beliefs. Plus, damage control, the Clinton Campaign six page memo to donors and supporters. I in iraq, isil is claiming responsibility for a truck bomb today that ripped through a crowded market. The Early Morning blast killed at least 67 people. It said it intentionally gathered the shia gathering place, and has vowed more attacks. More than 150 people were wounded. The ice says isil likely used mustard gas on an attack on kurdish forces. The wall street your honor narcotic reports that the gas possibly came from syria or iraq. Intelligence has previously accused of isil of using chlorine gas. The New York Times is now detailing the brutal practice of sexual slavery, the actions are organized and include the systemic rape of nonmuslim women and girls, the times article that says the koran. The story goes on to say the practices used a as recruiting tool to attract deeply conservative muslim men. More than 20 womenned were interviews for this report. The executive director in new york, thank you for joining us. We know that isil is using Sexual Violence as a tactic, how are they getting away with it. Absolutely using rape on sexual slavery, its not the first time, we know it has happened in bosnia, rwanda, and other places and isis is absolutely enganging in practices are contrary to anything that is islam stands for. And the minorities we must stand with and by. Is there anything that comes close to the interpretation that isil is using. We have to remember that islam was created in a premodern era where slavery was a universal system. This isnt the only faith that has these type of mentions but our prophet came to free slaves. And went as far to say that we are not to call anyone my slave, we are all the slaves of god. And we have seen story after story of encouraging senior members of arab tries to mary, to show that no one is above anybodien else. To look at isis and even say anything they are doing is anywhere close to his lack, and to look at the 1. 7 billion muslims in the world not enganging in these practices and to remember that slavery is prohibited in every Muslim Country except under the leadership of isis. To use this as arecruiting tool, to get conservative muslim men, you would think they would be educated enough to know this doesnt have anything to do with islam, and yes, sir it is clearly serving a purpose. It has nothing to do with islam. If you are conservative, you are not enganging in Sexual Activity and want to, this is a way to do it. Lets look at Human Trafficking bro themes in many countries we hear these stories of young sex slaves including in places of United States america. We should separate that from islam. These are sick people. They have alienation from community, we have to get to the root of the problem, and it has nothing to do with islam. As far as the beheadings, i seems like they are coming one new ways to demonstrate their brutality. 12 apostates being blown up over a bomb in the ground, what do you make of that. Isis is exactly what they want, they want to intimidate the world community, they want to show power. They are sophisticatorred on social media, and we are giving them the platform, and they are using it to show the power they have to recruit people. Where they feel like they might be a minority. Again, isis is an on hour rent group, and they are a cancer in the middle east but across the world. Thank you for having me. We will have much more, up next, puerto ricos urgent plea for help, the u. S. Territories already confront add major debt crieses and now it is facing a devastating drought. And sesame street new lesson in math, with the changing landscape, elmo and the gang, are cycling over to hbo. Inside story takes you beyond the headlines, beyond the quick cuts, beyond the sound bites. Were giving you a deeper dive into the stories that are making our world what it is. Ray suarez hosts inside story. Only on al jazeera america. Debt, severe drought andg forced water outages and is looking to washington for help. Monster storm, climate signtists say a possible el nino is forming in the pacific, and could bring and may ham to california. Under pressure over her private emails and losing drowned, presumed front runner is urging them not to panic. Plus, sesame street, the beloved Childrens Program is relocated to hbo. The move from free to pay tv could have big implications the ever the show, and for the broad cast industry. This is not been a good summer for puerto rico. The u. S. Territory is having problems paying the interest on 72 billion in debt. And now, the ilan is running out of water. A severe drought is hitting puerto rico hard, and in a letter the department of defense, officials are practically begging washington for help. Jonathon bets reports. With water cut off to his house, antonio must go find pit p and then haul it back home. For them to flush toilets, or do the laundry, buckets must be fetched from the back of their suv. It is a lot of work, he says. Puerto rico is so dry, the. Has simply cut off the tap watt tore 400,000 homes. For every day it does run, they must get by for two days without it. It is almost getting close to the most extreme drought event that puerto rico has ever experienced. 65 of the island is facing an extreme drought. From the air you can see the full effects. Less than two inches of rain fell last month rivers are now barely streams. And san juans main water source, is down 25 feet. At local water office, angry customers arrive with bills and questions. His bill is seven times higher than normal. Even though the water runs only one every three days. I just used the bathroom thats it. Many dont blame Mother Nature as much as th
