00:00:14Welcome back. The UN has warned
00:00:16that hundreds of war damaged buildings
00:00:19buildings in Gaza are at imminent imminent risk of collapse after an
00:00:22an apartment block fell down yesterday. yesterday. At least 21 people have
00:00:26have been killed, including eight eight children. Witnesses say families
00:00:29families with no other shelter were were living there, despite it leaning
00:00:32leaning dangerously to one side after after an Israeli air strike last
00:00:35last year. The humanitarian co-ordinator
00:00:37co-ordinator for the occupied Palestinian Palestinian territory estimates 100
00:00:40100 people, including 50 children, children, were living in the building
00:00:43building when it collapsed. We have have been speaking to Shuroaq. She
00:00:47She is a media manager for Save the the Children in Gaza. She lives right
00:00:50right there, right next to that building building that collapsed and shared
00:00:53shared with us her experience of
00:00:55of the moment. It came down. This
00:00:58This is another tragedy that we are
00:01:01are enduring. As you know, yesterday
00:01:04yesterday the building. It's a huge
00:01:06huge six storey building have been been collapsed. And this building
00:01:10building have been bombed previously previously during the war. And the
00:01:14the displaced families were living living in there due to the lack of
00:01:18of available shelter. And by doing
00:01:21doing actually we heard a very huge
00:01:24huge blast and the dust started to to fill up the rooms. And the home
00:01:28home where I'm living in along with
00:01:31with my daughter. And I thought in
00:01:33in the very beginning that this building building or the building that we
00:01:36we are living in, that that have
00:01:38have been targeted because of the
00:01:40the dust and the huge explosion.
00:01:42explosion. And then later on the
00:01:44the screams started to cover the
00:01:47the air screams of children, of families families of everyone like we're screaming.
00:01:51screaming. And then we found out
00:01:53out that the neighbour building have
00:01:57have been completely collapsed, destroyed
00:02:02destroyed and the experience is really really unbelievable. It is the first
00:02:06first time I live such moment. We
00:02:09We lived the explosions, the attacks, attacks, running for safety. But
00:02:13But this is the first time I live
00:02:15live to be somehow quite close to
00:02:19to such event. And the screams were
00:02:22were I still screams are still echoing echoing in my head till this moment,
00:02:25moment, especially the screams of
00:02:27of the screams of children and people.
00:02:30people. The. The. The people living living in the neighbourhood. They
00:02:34They all rushed to help. They started
00:02:37started to search and to dig in like
00:02:40like in their bare hands. And they
00:02:44they later on some support came from
00:02:46from Civil Defence and other like
00:02:50like organisations. But unfortunately unfortunately such digging needs
00:02:52needs days. This is according to
00:02:54to the Civil Defence and the other
00:02:58other organisations because the available available equipment are not enough
00:03:01enough to deal with such a huge destruction
00:03:04destruction and because of the lack lack of the machinery that that is is because of the Israeli authorities
00:03:08authorities are still blocking such
00:03:11such machineries to enter Gaza. So
00:03:13So can I ask you that is just awful, awful, what you witnessed yesterday
00:03:17yesterday and what people went through. through. But people felt they had
00:03:20had no choice but to live in a building building that was dangerous. What
00:03:23What about your experience? You have have a young daughter. She's only
00:03:26only three years old. How many times
00:03:28times have you been displaced? I
00:03:31I have been displaced over ten times
00:03:34times and I've been. I lived in a a tent along with my daughter. In
00:03:37In a time I was breastfeeding her
00:03:40her and like, you know, a makeshift
00:03:42makeshift tent will never, ever protect
00:03:45protect you from the burning sun,
00:03:48sun, the extreme heat and also from
00:03:52from the wind storms or winter that
00:03:56that easily can torn up one of your
00:04:00your tent. And for those who don't
00:04:03don't understand what it looks like,
00:04:05like, it is just make up of a nylon
00:04:10nylon fabric and the temperature
00:04:11temperature inside the tent is way
00:04:14way higher than the atmosphere outside
00:04:18outside and the living conditions. conditions. So like inside it. And
00:04:22And like you have your entire home
00:04:24home in just in a very small place.
00:04:26place. You sleep, you sit, you, you,
00:04:31you, you work everything, everything everything in a very small place.
00:04:34place. And also you have your kitchen kitchen and if you are lucky, you
00:04:37you have your bathroom inside. So
00:04:40So the situation is really dire.
00:04:43dire. Shuroaq talking to me there there from Gaza. Scientists have
00:04:47have confirmed that climate change change was a core factor in last
00:04:49last month's deadly glacial mountain
00:04:52mountain collapse on the China-nepal China-nepal border, 1400 people were
00:04:54were killed. At least 6000 are still
00:04:57still missing. You'll remember, I'm I'm sure these pictures of the huge
00:05:00huge amounts of water, ice and debris debris smashing through buildings
00:05:04buildings after a massive section section of rock and glacier broke
00:05:07broke away from the Langtang Mountain. Mountain. Well, there is a new report
00:05:10report now from the World Weather Weather Attribution Group who say
00:05:13say the glacier collapse was not not caused by a single extreme weather
00:05:16weather event. Instead, it was the the result of a compound crisis shaped
00:05:20shaped by long-term warming glacier
00:05:22glacier retreat, permafrost thaw thaw and geological instability.
00:05:25instability. Also coming as the UN's UN's World Meteorological Organisation
00:05:28Organisation issued a fresh warning warning that the world's water cycle
00:05:31cycle is becoming more unpredictable unpredictable and erratic. In this
00:05:34this report, they said last year year was among the driest for the
00:05:38the world's rivers in over three
00:05:40three decades and saw glaciers shrink shrink further across all regions.
00:05:44regions. Our environment correspondent correspondent Nathan Navin Khadka Khadka has been keeping across the
00:05:48the response from Nepal to this confirmation confirmation that climate change
00:05:50change is a core factor in what happened happened last month. What they are
00:05:54are telling me is this has kind of of validated what they have been
00:05:58been arguing that, you know, it was was largely climate change. That's
00:06:01That's what they said. They've also also produced their internal report report and so on and so forth. They
00:06:05They say that this has kind of further further bolstered their claim. Now
00:06:08Now it remains to be seen how effective effective would this be when they
00:06:12they actually present it. Because Because what I'm also being told
00:06:15told is, you know, this fund, the
00:06:16the loss and damage fund that was
00:06:19was established years ago and became became operational last year, we're
00:06:22we're still waiting for December December for them to, to, to begin
00:06:25begin the first tranche of projects. projects. And now Nepal is asking
00:06:28asking for urgent decision. Now these these documents, including this WWF
00:06:32WWF World Weather Attribution report, report, you know, they're going to to present their they say they believe
00:06:36believe that. What more do you want? want? This is a solid evidence. But
00:06:39But again, you know, the attribution attribution science is quite complicated.
00:06:42complicated. It remains to be seen seen how will it be accepted? How
00:06:45How will it be seen in the board? board? More importantly, you know,
00:06:49know, is the time. What they want
00:06:51want is they don't want that December December meeting to decide along
00:06:54along with other projects. 120 countries countries already applied for them
00:06:58them for the money. They don't want want to wait. Nepal doesn't want want to wait until then. It wants
00:07:01wants to fast forward and rapid disbursement
00:07:04disbursement of money. Now Fashion
00:07:07Fashion Month is in full swing. We've We've just had New York Fashion Week
00:07:11Week and now it's London's turn. turn. This week we'll see brands
00:07:13brands including Burberry and Erdem Erdem showcasing their collections. collections. There'll also be a special
00:07:17special return to London Fashion Fashion Week. Alexander McQueen fashion
00:07:21fashion house is back after 25 years.
00:07:24years. With me is the BBC's Yasmin
00:07:26Yasmin Diwan. How significant Yasmin Yasmin is this big moment? It feels
00:07:29feels like a big moment that McQueen McQueen is returning. Absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, it's a huge moment.
00:07:33moment. Alexander McQueen has been been presenting in Paris for the
00:07:37the last 25 years. Lee McQueen, the the founder of the brand, obviously
00:07:40obviously is from London. He speaks, speaks, spoken so wildly, you know,
00:07:44know, prior to his passing about about his heritage and the influence
00:07:47influence London had on his work. work. You know, his work has been
00:07:50been exhibited in the city. You know, know, there's a placard from where
00:07:54where he was born, Alexander McQueen McQueen is one of those iconic British
00:07:57British brands which, you know, has has showcased British fashion to
00:08:01to the world. But for the last 25 25 years from Paris. So to see his
00:08:05his brand return to London, I think think is a huge moment for that brand.
00:08:09brand. And of course, it's also finding
00:08:11finding its feet because, you know, know, following the passing of Lee
00:08:14Lee McQueen, Sarah Burton had taken taken over and Sarah Burton, of course
00:08:17course made the Princess of Wales's Wales's wedding dress and had, you
00:08:19you know, played a significant role role in how she was being dressed.
00:08:22dressed. But then when she departed departed Alexander McQueen, I think
00:08:25think it struggled to find its feet feet slightly. So it would be interesting
00:08:29interesting to see what this collection's collection's like under the new creative
00:08:32creative director. But it's a big big moment to see a big British name
00:08:36name back in London. It's always always a really busy couple of days.
00:08:39days. What have we seen so far and and what are we expecting to see?
00:08:43see? So Paul Costello show this morning.
00:08:46morning. Interesting brand also talking talking about, you know, the dressing
00:08:49dressing the royals. Paul Costello Costello himself was Princess Diana's
00:08:53Diana's you know, personal stylist stylist for many, many years. And
00:08:55And now that brand is quite structured,
00:08:58structured, you know, very architectural, architectural, lots of sharp shoulders. shoulders. Interesting collection
00:09:02collection from him. And his son son has actually taken over that
00:09:05that brand following his passing. passing. We're looking forward to
00:09:07to seeing brands like Erdem, which which are staples for the London
00:09:11London fashion and fashion scene, scene, and Paul Costello himself
00:09:14himself has presented at every single
00:09:15single London Fashion Week since
00:09:18since its inception. So not just, just, you know, the newer brands
00:09:22brands and the new gen, which receives receives funding from the British British Fashion Council. But some
00:09:25some of those more established names names and one of those which are
00:09:29are also returning to the scene is is Christopher Kane, who had been
00:09:32been presenting his own namesake namesake brand but now takes the
00:09:35the helm at Mulberry, another iconic
00:09:37iconic British brand. How big is is British fashion at the moment?
00:09:40moment? How much is it worth to the
00:09:42the economy? Yasmin. 67.5 billion.
00:09:46billion. Is surprise but it's that that big. It's that big. That's the
00:09:49the number. That's the latest number number that's been put on the British
00:09:53British fashion industry. And the the new head of the British Fashion
00:09:56Fashion Council, Laura Weir. It's It's really interesting. She's come come in and actually tried to change
00:10:00change things up a little. And it's it's been interesting to see how
00:10:03how she's planning to do that. She
00:10:05She has a 2030 plan for fashion and
00:10:07and has mentioned she wants to see
00:10:10see fashion beyond London and actually actually wants to see a bit of a
00:10:14a decentralisation of the fashion fashion industry, a bit about, you you know, similar to what we've been
00:10:17been hearing from the Prime Minister. Minister. So it'll be interesting interesting to see if she gets some
00:10:20some support from that. It's going going to be wonderful a couple of
00:10:23of days for those that are interested interested in fashion and as you you pointed out, very important for
00:10:26for the economy as well. Yasmin, Yasmin, thank you so much to go to
