Im laila harrak. Out on strike or auto workers in the u. S. Still dont have a deal with automakers in the first strike against all of the big three. The death toll from floods in libya will likely keep rising as the search goes on. Well talk to a storm Health Official about how Recovery Efforts are going. Increased Police Presence as protests break out across iran to mark the anniversary of the death of mahsa amini in police custody. No breakthrough, but reasonably productive discussions, at least with ford. Thats how the United Auto Workers are describing labor talks on day two of the unions strike against three top u. S. Automakers. Striking Union Workers picketed outside the Ford Assembly plant in wayne, michigan. Ford has responded to the walkout by temporarily laying off some 600 nonstriking workers at that plant, saying the strike is causing a lack of parts. Gm is threatening to lay off 2,000 more. The union and ford, General Motors, and stellantis are far apart on wages and benefits. The union is essentially demanding double the wage increases the automakers are offering along with other enhancements. Hundreds of striking uaw members out on picket lines saturday said they are prepared to wait to get an agreement that suits them. Cnns gabe cohen reports. Reporter saturday we saw the first small signs of any progress in these negotiations between the union and really any of the three big automakers. This after ford met with union officials. A source with the union telling cnn, we had reasonably productive conversations with ford today. Reasonably productive, certainly no deal, but a big step in the right direction after days of hostile back and forth between the sides. Ford saying in a statement that they are committed to reaching an agreement with uaw that rewards our workers and allows ford to invest in the future. But were also starting to see the Ripple Effect from the strike with ford and General Motors announcing that the companies will lay off an additional at least 2,600 workers at two other facilities in the days ahead because those factories cant operate as long as these three are on strike. But still, so many of the workers we have spoken with who are out here on the Picket Line Making 500 a week in strike pay tell me theyre ready to stay here for as long as it takes. Their 20 proposal is ridiculous. Six years, and i have not had a raise in almost two years now. I tap out at 19. 28. Ive been taking 19. 28 for two years, trying to raise a family, with inflation. Its hard. It makes me hopeful that theyre getting the message that were on strike, and were ready for this. Weve been preparing. You know, bring a good offer to the table. Why did you want your daughter to be here today . I brought her out to get her involved, just so she knows whats going on with dad at work. Reporter sean fame, head of the auto workers union, said more of these factories could go on strike in the coming days depending on how negotiations play out. Harley shikin is a professor at university of california at berkeley, an expert on labor and the global economy, joining me from switzerland. So good to have you with us. What are the ways the United Auto Workers historic strike could impact the u. S. Economy . It could impact in many ways. And it is truly a historic strike. First, the Auto Industry is about 3 of the gdp of the entire economy. That doesnt sound like much, but it affects so many other industries. And in the key states such as michigan, its about 7 of the economy. If the strike lasts a long time, we could see some serious economic slowdowns in key sectors. Would you go as far as to say that it could push the country into a recession . Probably not. It would be more minimal on a national level. But the last time there was a strike, uaw strike against General Motors, in 2019, it pushed the state of michigan into a recession for a quarter. And thats not incidental from where we sit right now. Michigan is a critical battleground state. So michigan in a recession could be damaging to president biden. From a consumer point of view, will cars now get more expensive . Not necessarily. One of the things thats been remarkable about the Auto Industry is the strong Productivity Increases over the years. Whats going to make the industry competitive is productivity, quality, and innovation. The wages that are likely to be agreed to will fit into that, not raise prices on cars. Professor, i want to pick up on innovation, a key word youve used. Is this just about workers wanting a salary boost . What role does the move what do technologies play in all of this . Were in a transition point on technology. The move to electric vehicles is the biggest change the industry is seeing since the introduction of the moving Assembly Line over 100 years ago. There are estimates, including from top Auto Industry executives, that for a given number of vehicles it will require 30 to 40 fewer workers. This is terrifying to workers in the detroitbased companies, and it should be. They want to be beneficiaries of the change to electrificelectri not victims. Thats why this set of negotiations is historic, not simply for the fact that all three companies are on strike at once and theyre partial strikes to date, but also because it is defining the future for electrification and workers in the United States and who will benefit and who will lose. Final thought. Globally, what are you seeing in terms of the disruption caused by this shift to electric vehicles . I think this is a disruption that can absolutely be managed, but it has to be managed. And one of the benefits that may come out of the strike and the negotiations in detroit is a way to ensure that auto workers feel they will be recipient of the gains here. That will result in innovation on the shop floor, in a better product, and a smoother transition that benefits the entire economy and all of us. U. S. Berkeley professor harley shakin, sir, thank you for joining us, thank you for this conversation. To libya where more than 11,000 people in the city of derna have been killed by nod waters that ravaged the region last week according to a u. N. Report which warns the death toll will likely rise as Emergency Crews continue to search for the missing. Farm workers have pulled dozens of bodies from the sea along the derna coast, but Rescue Missions say most of the victims who were swept away are still in the water. Soon the task of retrieving the bodies could become impossible without additional resources. Larry, this is a massive tragedy that is still unfolding. Reporter thats right, laila. We just dont know how many people actually died in this catastrophic flooding as all the Emergency Rescue teams, the aid agencies, the two governments still say that the number of people that we know have died could likely be much higher. A lot of the people that were killed in this flooding, probably those bodies are still in the water. As youve been saying, the task of retrieving the bodies will become almost impossible. The bodies are quickly decomposing. Even the death toll is still unknown at this point. Part of the problem here is libyas fractured government. There is the internationally recognized government in the capital, tripoli, and the eastern parliamentbacked one which covers this region of derna. That is making coordination impossible. Theres lots of Different Countries that sent in teams to bring aid to try and help in the search and rescue, to try and help in retrieving bodies for those killed. This is just making it almost impossible to get the full extent of how many people were killed, how many wounds. The u. N. Says at least 10,100 are missing in derna alone. The number could be much higher. Libyans are coming together to try to help, such as donating blood. Also decrying the divided nation they live in. Translator we feel sorry for those who lost their lives, and we ask god almighty that he take pity on the others. Unfortunately, we hate to admit that this catastrophe has highlighted the fact that we do not have a state capable of dealing with a crisis of this scale. Reporter thats absolutely right, it highlighted the differences in the administration of the country, but also the Early Warning systems that didnt quite work effectively. The crumbling infrastructure. All of that has led to this tragedy, which continues to be a tragedy in the response, laila. When so many people need so much help and so little of it is coming so far. Larry maduro reporting, thank you so much. Doctor, thank you so manufacture for your time, thank you for joining us at this difficult moment for the people of libya. The u. N. Now reports that at least 11,300 people were killed in these terrible floods, another at least 10,100 remain missing. How are libyas rival governments impacting Recovery Efforts of this scale . I think the good news of the libyan people have actually come together, and a lot of people from east, south, and west have actually driven all the way to derna carrying personal belongings and things to support the people of derna. But i agree totally the Political Division doesnt help. Not just from the rescue effort, but even from the maintenance. Dams, we had two dams in derna. This unified government, maybe those dams would have been renovated and looked after to prevent this calamity. It is a calamity. And the images that weve been seeing have been truly shocking. Words really fail us. What are the chances now of finding survivors weeks since this terrible event . I think the chance would be very, very minimal. Unless if you are still alive under rubble on the ground, its unlikely we will find any significant number of alive people in derna today. How long do you think, doctor, it will take to find all missing persons . Probably never. I think we may never be able to recover all the missing people. For obvious reasons, because the bodies were actually washed off to the sea. And as you can expect, it would be extremely difficult to see any more bodies surfacing to the seaside for presumably for De Decomposed bodies. Some will float, some will sink and be taken away or eaten away by the fish. Eyewitnesses have described the city smells of decomposing bodies. Are there plans to evacuate survivors . Could this humanitarian crisis be further compounded by a Massive Health crisis . Evacuees and survivors in the affected area, it should be done because the problem could happen again. However, there are areas which is in the higher side of the mountain in derna where the families or the residents of that part of derna will be reluctant to evacuate. Particularly if the routes to derna have been restored, which have not been restored till now. The six dams between either east and west of derna are badly damaged, so even transportation between both sides of the city are very difficult. However, we hear that there were some temporary solutions now to link both sides of the city, but that will not sustain with the next attack, damage the main road that was made to link both east and west derna. So it will not be surprising to see a lot of people leaving derna on their own accord. And if the situation gets any worse, the Health Situation or the environment becomes worse, its highly likely that the government would take a decision to evacuate the remaining people in derna. Doctor, what are the Biggest Challenges in the days and hours ahead . Well, the biggest challenge really is trying to identify the dead bodies. Especially there have been some mass graves without apparently without taking dna samples. That would be a major challenge, number one. The other challenge would be trying to support the idps. Nearly 40,000 idps, internally displaced people, in libya in and around derna who will need to have their life back. That is the second challenge. The third challenge would be trying to think of how what would happen if we have another storm coming to dern aa. And of course the issue of recovery of the city and renovating or rebuilding the city will be another major challenge ahead and many years from now. Doctor, our thoughts are with people of libya. Thank you so much for joining us, dr. El oakley, thank you. Thank you, laila.

As far as we know, kim jongun is still in russia where hes toured the latest in russian weaponry and its pacific fleet. According to north korean state media, kim held discusses on saturday with russias Defense Minister. Those talks were said to be focused on further cooperation between their two militaries on issues of National Security and defense. No arms deals have been announced during kims visit, but ukraine and its allies are closely watching for any potential signs of north korea aiding moscows war effort. The Russian Military claims it intercepted five Ukrainian Drone attacks early sunday over no casualties or damage were reported, but aiort operations around mosw were disrupted. Meanwhile, russias Defense MinisterReportedlis Disputing thatainian forces have retaken The Village Of Andreev near bakhmut. Its been the scene of fierce fighting along the front lines. For the civilians who once lived in the town, theres nothing to return to but ukraine says the territory is strategically important and retaking it has been a key objective of the ongoing counteroffensive. Clare sebastian is closely following these developments. What is the strategy behind these Drone Attacks which have become a feature of this war . Reporter a feature of this core offensive. That is crucial to understanding this, now that we see them happening with such regularity. The counteroffensive not just on the front lines, as you showed just there, but what some are calling ukraines deep battle. These attacks far behind enemy lines. Just this morning, case in point, five drones, russia says, were intercepted, some over crimea, which has become an increasing focus certainly in the last week or so, just in the last week ukraine claims to have damaged several ships in the port of sebastopol, claims to have knocked out a sophisticated air defense in the east of the peninsula as well. Moscow, you have to sort of question whats the Military Utility here . Yes, i think there are attempts to crack the propaganda facade, to remind the russian people that this is a war. There may be an attempt to keep russias air defenses trained on the capital and away from ukraine itself. But look, as we see the debate around Weapons Supplies ahead of president zelenskyys expected visit to the u. S. This week, this is a part of this war that ukraine does not, we understand, rely on western supplies for. They are producing a lot of their own drones. The head of the Drone Program saying to cnn just recently that theyve increased production 100 times since the start of this year. So this is a way for ukraine to show that it has its own agency in this war. A war that russia is fighting in part to try to essentially delete ukraine as a sovereign nation. I think its worth viewing these overnight attacks which are happening increasingly frequently in that context. Clare sebastian reporting in london, thank you so much. The exact number of ukrainian troops killed in the war is not clear, but its likely staggering. But each one was special to those who loved them. The family who reluctantly saw them off to fight a war they would not survive. Cnns melissa bell has the story. Reporter theres been no shortage of grief in ukraine. Today in st. Michaels cathedral, its the turn of yvegens mother to say goodbye to her 42yearold son, killed on a front line he volunteered for. How many have died neither side will say. For ukraine, the number is believed to be many tens of thousands. Today, though, for yvgens wife karina, her own grief is all there is
