1:01 am
a team getting people out of harm's way. the us supreme court rules to allow police in texas to arrest migrants who cross the border from mexico illegally. the . we begin this news hour with new warnings about the availability of food and gaza and suggestions that is really restrictions on aids could amount to a work crime as follows, a report by the international hunger monitor earlier this week saying dozens would soon be dying of hunger at simon's scale rates without a cease fire, the un human rights to the volk or turk says, israel's restrictions could amount to use of starvation as a method of war, which is a war crime, is calling on the international community to insist israel allow unimpeded entry of 8 into gaza to over the risk of famine. meanwhile,

1:03 am
emboldened by the mic bill family, it has been completely destroyed. but it's really hard to judge a don't know me. so i'll try to do that. and you know, i mean, yeah, and that's, i mean, i know you ma'am. it's a business my brother's house. unfortunately, women, children and the neighbors were struck here. i've heard that when they were peaceful, people that have sleeping often having the last meal for full fostering. suddenly we were taken away by what happened and the despite all those, we say praise be to god to cause them due to the lack of resources. well, you know, there remains a number of killed people under the rubble and when we are unable to bring out to. a the relentless bombardment on cause a city by is really wor jetson has now targeted this family home is killing most of its residential lot trapping. others under the revolution and the city of jersey a my do you have to was, i think is really military. also target a demo site. it's refugee camp, killing at least 5 palestinians, a vehicle outside the headquarters of warner, off of you,
1:04 am
an agency for palestine. refugees was hits, children are among the dads, and another is really years to it is really attack. excuse me, i'm going to say that refugee come killed 15 members of the same family. other members of the and have us family are still under the rubble. author is really selling on their home. the injured had been transported to the overburdened an oc sallow hospital. at least 23 palestinians responsible for helping distribute a had been killed by targeted is really bombardments, in northern gaza. were playing struck their position near the can wait round about . that's where a to the north is distributed. there have been several attacks at the same location on palestinian seeking aids. last month is really forces open fire on a crowd, killing a 118 people who are seeking food. there are been more bloss and gunfire around and she felt hospital in gaza city,
1:05 am
at least 50 palestinians have been killed and many more detains displaced, palestinians. patients and medical staff are main trapped as that raid goes on. the hospital had only recently resumed partial operations. after suffering large scale destruction during and is really raised in november, thought about as to has more from what i found in southern browser the as well. the military troops are still station inside the hospital in the gates on old, an old, the roads that are leading to the medical compound. as these very minute, 3 tanks are flashing with palestinian fighters on the vicinity of the area of the hospital. as bombardment also continues to unfolding and tell you area the is value, a media has been stating that the is where the troops are having close contact of fighting with how much flight is under the same time. they continue to carry out the village of patients inside the hospital and the intense front cover by is by the flight to jet spots,
1:06 am
a situation on the ground. that sounds really critical us patients had been forced by the is very forces to get out from the hospital to go to our receipt posted roads without any help. and some of the patients have been throwing and out of the hospital. some people managed to transfer them to actually our up hospital to continue receiving medical treatment. but with the ongoing bombardment, the death to is to still continue with continuing to climb. been mount um its a the a very unprecedented military campaign that if it did not stop, would it be coming days. the situation were, gets much more dahlia as long as the dust will, will definitely increase as we are showing in our next trip thoughts as well as was unrelenting. yet more palestinians buried who was, who carried them short to suit and facing simon before the whole. you month and now the come on we are in from a lot of people have to hold. look you having to who of what it means black than
1:07 am
this. this is a face more than 1000000 palestinians are seeking show. think i was a self forced here, often onto the devastation in areas for the north east. very all me to drop off would be say, the messiah was, have continued destroyed, is densely populated area, the monthly, the month. there is no safe area. well, they're saying this is a safe area, but there are no safe areas. they're hitting from every direction and they don't care about people. they displaced us from here to there, but we don't know where to go. is we'll say is mission is to eliminate the most scientists. it's food and re people who are being killed. we are unarmed innocent civilians. we never carry donald. this is the majority of the palestinian population in gaza. know when this trip is being spent. this is amber. se ross in central garza and i got the name is emily. at midnight we woke up to the
1:08 am
sound of a bloss rushed the area here and found this house completely destroyed. hoford's residents were killed in some still under the rubble, the death building gauze. and that was more than 31000 with the people sheltering key roughly, i think typically coordinates the dust to were wise. if the is very offensive grounds continues direct about as boone, how does the rough, rough southern guns were earlier? my colleague molly inside spoke to dr. nick maynard, who is a consultant surgeon who volunteered for an emergency medical mission in gaza. and he described the situation with patients on his most recent trip there. and i've been going to garza for nearly 15 years, and i thought i would be use, but i'd be prepared for what's all i was going to see when i went into garza on boxing day. but what i saw, i like the hospital was the single was a series of cases i've ever seen in my career was adult to i'm
1:09 am
a polling technical situations. we found ourselves in a great lock. a result is. but most of all the most deporting injuries predominate on children and women. and i spent most the 2 weeks operating on severe explosive interest to the chest and abdomen. and the majority of the patients all place on women and also some severely injured children as well. can you expand on that? what was the hall this policy? if in your experience, when you look back, i think seeing some of the appallingly injured children in particular, i spent some time in the emergency room with alex all spell as well and sole, some very small children was terrible buttons, multiple traumatic amputations and no real room to deal with these tragic cases, the result is we're very limited on some days we had no multi, no strong painkillers give these patients. and i remember things as one small child
1:10 am
who had terrible burns to her face. so bad that you could see the buttons of her face and she clearly had no chance of survival and was going to die. but we had no pain relief to give her. so no, certainly, well, she certainly going to die, but she couldn't die peacefully. she died in agony. uh there was no way peaceful for her to go. she was ended up lying on the floor of the mozy department. and this was one case, but we still multiple cases like that and they were deeply deep. be tragic. i believe it also started seeing some non nutrition cases back then. yeah. so this was back in sort of around the new. yeah. and we, the pediatricians, that i like the hospital was saying 2 or 3 cases of crush vehicle, which is the most severe form of protein malnutrition. you see it and it so it comes up, images of the famines we sometimes saw an africa years ago where,
1:11 am
where these pop village children with, with severe malnutrition and that they were repairing that, likes the hospital back over the new. yeah. and on the search results, we saw patients who a malnourished and there was so many problems with infections in the hospitals that the verge, every patient who ends up having an injury and having surgery gets a bad infection of calls. when you've got severe infections, it accelerates the process of malnutrition. so we ended up seeing some patients severely mile, not raising the calls we've heard in the last few days about the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the mind made from into a cold that's now existing and goals and the mount nutrition problems that getting out of it was, and you have this terrible cycle of, of, of set success inspection malnutrition and they exacerbate each other. so this is a, a profoundly severe health care problem. and i think the numbers of patients we're going to see from these access tests due to now latricia and we'll do all of the
1:12 am
fig is currently being quoted for deaths from the trauma of about 30000. i think we, we great the fact that if it goes, it's going to be what an excess of a 100000 in direct talks between israel and thomas are underway here in delphi. and they're discussing the latest proposal from us for present or a captive exchange. and an end to the war category, mediator se they remain hopeful. mohammed fall reports the term used by the spokesman of the foreign ministry here was that they are cautiously optimistic about the results of the talks. but he said that it is very good that the talk stop taking place in doha, that to me is cut off. can monitor these talks better, can facilitate them better. and he talked about the technical team from, from both sides working on the details. these are indicted talks, we have to notify and the is highly is don't tell these readers here. they don't have many prerogatives for decision making and so on. so that's why the chief of
1:13 am
the most sides, they can but they, it has already left with for consultations with is that i need to ship. and basically the categories are saying that this is going to take time. i don't think we're out at the moment now. what do we can say that you are close to where to where the we are. as i said, we are cautiously optimistic because adults have it as you want them. that is a good thing. and we hope that that, that continues, and they help to build upon that and becoming a days, but it's still too early to, to announce any, any successes. so we remain, as i said with them and hopefully the for the ministry spokes man or so made it clear the top to convince you sort of the actions during the last couple of days, particularly the, the attack on the chief a hospital. he said that those attacks have to step on the international committee has to do something to prevent these ladies from continuing to commit to those violations against medical facilities and a 1000 or so ago civilians. he said,
1:14 am
the cup of has already sent $86.00 cargo planes with the humanitarian a to cause entities goes to contribute logistically and financially to any assets to bring more $8.00 to cost. how much fun. i'm just gonna go or wherever they are. i spoke to him how much the most of the she's a political analyst on professor of media studies up until the institute for graduate studies. and she explains why both sides are having difficulty. finding common grounds. i think the issue is what this is real, want out of this negotiation versus what her mass wants out of this negotiation. as we've been discussing from us once a permanent cease fire, they want an end to the violence in gaza. and israel wants some assurance that it's going to be allowed to to continue that. so the question is, and has been for many weeks, how do we reconcile those to diverging positions?
1:15 am
is it possible to say who's, who's negotiating from a sort of a stronger position, a position of strength? why would say that israel's negotiating from position a strength based on, based on the fact that they are supported by the united states? i mean, the united states holds all the leverage. they are the one entity that could and all this tomorrow, with a, with a phone call, but which has been unwilling to do so. so if they have support from the united states and there isn't any sort of consequence for what, for what they're doing and gaza, then they're free to either negotiate a deal that works for them, right? that meets their conditions or continue, continue fighting. much as being said about these divisions between 5, unless any yahoo that are there enough to make a difference to, to what's happening on the grounds and gaza. well, i think we have to keep a close eye on it. i don't want to belittle some of the differences that we've seen emerge in recent weeks and, and how the us so sort of, uh, ramped up some bits of rhetoric on israel against is real critical of israel. but
1:16 am
i'm much more interested in what the united states is doing than what the united states is saying. they are issuing these sort of verbal slaps on the risk from time to time to time. we've seen that from biden, from lincoln, and from others in the us administration. but until the us actually shows that it's willing to change course, until they're actually willing to demonstrate that they're going to implement this kind of red line policy that they're going to, for instance, stops applying israel for weapons. then i think it's just more of the same. okay, and in speaking of the weapons sales we, we now hear from canada, but it's saying that it will hold future arms sales to israel. there was a non binding vote that was held in the house of commons. how so significant of the development is this? i think it's important. i think what we have to remember is that while this isn't, is really genocide, plausible genocide on gaza and on the policy and people. it is one that is,
1:17 am
has been supported by western governments like canada. and increasingly, western governments are becoming uncomfortable, having their reputations smeared by what is probably going to be ruled the genocide here in the next few years at the, at the, at the highest court in the world. and so you're seeing countries now like canada trying to distance themselves, they want to be able to say, well, look, we, we took a stand at a, at a particular point in time. and so from that standpoint, i think it's significant. it also signals to israel that their time could be running out. they don't have an unlimited supply of time to carry out this for the, the u. s. supreme court has given a controversial texas migration law, the green light. it allows state law enforcement authorities to arrest anyone
1:18 am
suspected of crossing the us mexico border illegally. previously, that power was only held by federal officers. presidential biden's government had requested the last to be frozen while a challenge to it worked its way through the lower courts. mexico says that it rejects the law and that it won't accept people who are deported by texas. so this decision comes as the us southern border is facing unprecedented numbers of people attempting to cross back in 2013 customs and border protection, record an average of 39000 and counselors every month until 2021. when the numbers started to skyrocket in december of last year, nearly $302.00 thousands encounters were reported. and that's an all time record in terms of who's making the crossing. there is significantly fewer mexican nationals . they've gone from over 60 percent of encounters to less than 30 percent. and the biggest increase has been invent as well in nationals from nearly 0 to more than 10
1:19 am
percent. all of this is putting pressure on american immigration systems. and the number of pending emigration cases has drum dramatically from about 344000 cases in 2013 to 2100000 last year. but we can now speak to andrew rodman, he's a director of the mexico institute at the wilson center, joining us from washington, d. c. thanks for your time with us on al jazeera cert. so what is your initial reaction to the small my, my pleasure during, thanks for the invitation. you know, i, i think that as you mentioned in, in your intro, this is a longstanding and incredibly complicated issue. you have people migrating literally from around the world and, and trying to get into the united states. so i think what happened today, of course, is the court decision allows the process to continue. it allows for implementation of the law. well, while the court challenge continue,
1:20 am
so it may turn out that it is founded unconstitutional as have several other state level efforts to to control migration in the past. and it really runs into a really a historic challenge in the united states of disputes between federal and state authority. what are the implications though off texas police are resting on documented migrants. you know, there are, there are several implications. one and, and some law enforcement officials, given someone who, who are supportive of the need to control migration are concerned that it diverts their attention and their resources from, from violent crime from, from really more serious crime. and so that's one concern. another concern is that this sort of a lot of the sort of enforcement can lead to racial profiling, and that can undermine communities, confidence, and trust. and law enforcement really have some serious implications that go well
1:21 am
beyond just simply apprehending people who ventured to us without authorization and mexico has said that it rejects this law. it won't accept people who are deported by texas. what impact do you think it's going to have on us mexico relations as well as you know it? i, it will, they will have an impact. it will be a, you know, i, i think the mexican government understands well that this happened at the state level . and then the federal government has challenged the law, but it has to go through the legal process. i think where you're going to see, you could see friction is if you start having large numbers of persons who taxes is trying to expel in mexico, won't it won't accept. and you start blocking legitimate crossing of the border of, of goods and people that's obviously going to have an impact on mexico in, on the relationship. but it's really important to remember that mexico is now our number one trading partner. so there are commercial in blue,
1:22 am
great commercial implications to impeding a flow of goods. not to mention that as, as this whole conversation shows that without cooperation between the us and mexico resolving the migrate, the crisis at the moment, it's going to be almost impossible. so, so creating friction and the relationship is, is not likely to lead to the kind of solutions that i think everybody on both sides of the partner is looking for. i mean, how big an issue is this, the issue of immigration and migration, particularly in this election year, and it is a huge issue. it has become an issue and it's over the past b minus the conversation though the terminology is shifted from the migration to border security and that's become a campaign issue. and i think that will continue really until november. it, it's a point that many republicans are, are using they, they see it as, as something to criticize president binding about. it's become one of the most
1:23 am
stanley and issues in, in paul legs. so i think there's no, it will continue to be a political issue, but, but again, i think it's important. remember, it is also and as ship 1st and foremost be seen as a humanitarian issue. okay, thank you so much, andrew rodman, thanks for your time with us. speaking to us, my pleasure. thank you. now, the leader of one of haiti's games has rallied his supporters to re gain control of a neighborhood in the capital as a child, alexander not across report to prince. after his escape from prison during a recent wave of violence between warring gains and remaining security forces are struggling to repel the increasing unrest. international efforts are underway to form a transitional presidential council to paved the way for prime minister arial on res resignation. the

1:27 am
people are worried about their safety and their children. this evacuation ends at the resettlement center in have keep some points that we sometimes they can spin, the not hit their trains and we help them get tickets, although we say good bye and that's it, wasn't it? so for spit liner, it's time to say good bye to a hometown was the sense. so we lived in the town center in the 5th floor apartment, but it was a bump. so they moved to a relative's house, but you could see for yourself how the place was under a thought close to 2. she into children don't know when or if they will be able to attend. rob mcbride, l g 0. how to key if you grade. so nigeria is top general says the military has apprehended the people a suspected of decapitating at least 17 soldiers. they were trying to make peace between 2 communities and the southern oil producing delta region. following the incidents, houses belonging to the rama community were set on fire, but nigeria is chief of defense, stuff, denies the armies, involvements,

1:29 am
the a web site. so megan has made land full, has lost some bits with in strings, but has been a lot of rain with it. as a result, the mining activity in northern territory has been closed down to some degree because the amount of rain falling is dangerous and that rain comes over down towards the alice springs. you can link the system out was a fairly active code problem has come up through victoria as well. throughout late to add some piles of new south wales attempted to drop day by day and by night. but out of spring shows, well for 3 days, heavy right with flooding like is resolved with that obviously the time she will drop to some degree as the re keeps folding. this is the picture facilitate. the yellow center produces the heaviest, right?
1:30 am
and you'll notice the thumbs moving things up slightly in the southeast waste time pathogen. enjoying about 30 degrees in the sunshine, in new zealand, fairly clark, looking picture also as a radius, edging in very, very slowly towards south island. we've seen some recent funding in east java that might be repeated. that is where the heaviest ranges forecast some more and some possible in the i'm just returning to northern sumatra and knocked in the time. she's back in a good profit of southern thailand as well. in japan, winter continues, maybe surprisingly, the latest news as it breaks, types of on any social media platform could face court challenges over the issue of freedom of speech. but before that, this would have to pass the senate with detailed coverage. people have come from places where this whole nice, nice, the full health services a close that comes off from food from around the world. now migrants rights
1:31 am
advocates are taking the federal government to court, saying it has failed in its duty to care for migrants including children. now let me tell you almost suffice valley decor result, the 1st of its kind in west africa. we were surrounded by a wild life from the moment she entered a coupon outside, right. able to practice what the now be used, only elected very close here. like coming here, sits on within large stairs, faced with a look in my private now. thanks. royal. i can also offer somebody valley equal, resorted in gun the the
1:32 am
top stories on the i'll just, there were news, our new warnings about the availability of food in joshua and suggestions that is really restrictions on age could amount to a work crime. you and it's human rights treat volker tourist says israel's restrictions for the amounts or the use of starvation as a method for us. these 23, palestinian is responsible for helping distribute aid have been killed by targets. is really bombardments in northern gaza, or plain struck their position near the weight round about that's where the 8th to the north is distributed. katara says it's cautiously optimistic about the possibility of ceasefire in gaza. it's been mediating the latest round of talks in doha, involving the head of israel's intelligence agency, the most sides. the us sector of state is saying that the entire population of gaza is in dire need of humanitarian aid. antennae blinking says food deliveries must be
1:33 am
a priority. his comments come off to the un human rights chief blamed israel for blocking a trucks from entering the strip in parting to the most respected measure of these things. a 100 percent of the population in gaza is at severe levels of acute food insecurity. that's the 1st time an entire population has been so classified. and we also see again, according to, in this case, the united nations, a 100 percent. the totality of the population is in need of humanitarian assistance . compare that to a sedan about 80 percent of the population. there is indeed even amount changes have data stands about 70 percent. so again, solving underscores both the, the urgency, the imperative of making this, the priority
1:34 am
a palestinian man has been shot and killed in his car by his release settlers in the occupied westbank that happened in a village close to knob. this b u. n. has described the recent escalation of settler violence and the occupied westbank is alarming and urgent. the us house of representatives is reviewing a bill that questions the countries relationship with south africa. the bill accuse of south africa, of building ties with countries and actors that undermine america's national security, south africa's international relations and cooperation minister and the lady. pandora is in washington dc to discuss the tense ties and she spoke to alta zeros. mike, hannah, there's almost an implication of that. so when america holds a particular position, south africa must follow. and it's very interesting, but other countries that share the perspectives that south africa hold. i'm not
1:35 am
being uh, you know, a dealt with in the way that we also, i don't know whether it's because we're africans or some other reason. it might be also the fact of the stones we've taken with response to the current, a war of israel, which is being visited upon the people of palestine most cautiously and painfully. and the facts that we've approached the international court of justice may be causing some discomfort and the disquiet. we are an important partner for the united states of america as they are uh for us. and so i do hope that we will be able to repair the relationship and continue on the established basis that was built up over many years. so he believes south africa's decision to take israel to the international court of justice is
1:36 am
a primary reason for the tenseness of the relationship. also me, this is mentioned in a number of resolutions. you may be aware that was a laptop type of petition letter by over 200 legislate toes across the party lines of bipartisan atlanta, which alleged disquiet at the fact that to south africa doesn't support a israel and supports a palace time. and then the going beyond that to, even as the book does claim that the african national congress has some formal partnership with a months, this is entirely improved. also related to the number line stones we've taken with respect to russia and ukraine with south africa, continues to talk to both countries to the lead. as opposed to attempt to persuade
1:37 am
that they should agree to arrive at a point where they sit around calling table and begin to discuss what's negotiated . a sacrament may look like with full respect for or uh, the provisions of the united nations child to south africa has strong relationships with russia. with trying to coordinate the speed of an vantage to the united states in terms of foraging links with these countries all on the line, fundamental philosophy and foreign policy is we only seek peace. we only seek negotiation. we are monday to buy the freedom shot of south africa to always pursue international peace and friendship. and that is all we've come back to the all selves of course, uh, having be a people who suffered under the impression of a pod,
1:38 am
tate. we reject oppression wherever we find it and seek to reduce home for people who are striving for freedom and us. it is, i think, natural that sub africa would support the just quotes of the people of palestine as well as of course support the people of israel in having their own state. but we can never agree that it is correct to kill thousands of innocent civilians in palestine. and for us to then attempt to pretend that this i'm just course behind this murderous on to the republican shared house for an affairs committee, has been holding hearings over the american exit from of going to spawn. in august 2021. hundreds of off guns died after the fall of the us by government and the advance of the television. and among those testifying is general mark millie,
1:39 am
who was chairman of the joint chiefs of staff at the time. and the hearings comes the race for the white house intensifies patio hay and has more from washington dc on why the withdrawal could matter. in november's elections are pretty much reserved from pretty angry republican representatives and pretty angry democratic representatives. the generals for their part are pretty much kept there. cool. and in fact, they came out and said, look, we've nothing new to say. so we didn't, they already testified before we took off or uniform and retired. so what we're seeing here is the republicans, they are trying to really put this at the feet of president joe biden said the withdrawal happened on his watch. well, the democrats are countering, well, it happened because the former president, donald trump's, the republican, he made a deal with the tell about in the so called doha agreement. that would set a date for us troops leading in exchange for a bit of a cease fire. no more a tax on us service members,
1:40 am
but they were conditions. and so what we're hearing from the generals is this wasn't their fault in the sense that their recommendation was to leave $2500.00 troops plus contractors plus nato allies in the country until the conditions of the agreement could be met. so here's what they had to say about that. it was my view that absent those conditions, i was not in favor unilateral withdrawal of us forces because of my assessment of associated costs and risks. the fundamental tension facing the president in fact, to present was that no one could satisfactorily explain when or even if those conditions would ever be met. it's a really unusual and usually these kinds of hearings happen on like an anniversary date or some way to connect it and that's when they get more media play. so why now? well, we're behind the scenes. republican age are telling reporters that they're trying to deliver in their words a body blow to president joe biden. they know that this is
1:41 am
a weakness for him. is he runs for re election. in fact, if you look at the polls whose numbers really started to dive below 40 during this whole tragic evacuation and they never recovered. and so i think republican say they're still just trying to get to the truth. they've got some family members in the gallery of the service members who died during their withdrawal and after suicide bombing. so they said to try to get answers to them. they're not getting any new information here. uh so likely this is about politics because this is a week this for president joe biden. let's not forget he was elected mainly because he was able to tell the american people, he knew how government work. he could get things done. and the minute this started happening and people started to doubt whether he actually could do that could live up to those promises. and like i said, he hasn't recovered so most likely try to score some political points. it doesn't look like we're going to get any new information today. the conflict, and so dawn has forced more than 8000000 people from their homes. the un says it's
1:42 am
the world's largest displacements crisis. hundreds of thousands of people who 1st fled south dawn are now trying to get back. malcolm lab reports from a transit camp in the border town offering. i was thinking so many people who had friends killed narrowly escaped getting cold and the violence themselves. people here reporting widespread sexual violence and other kinds of rights abuse these many others. the key in recent weeks, seeing here because they say the conditions is simply becoming livable. where they were coming from in costume or other open areas in c dom because they've been cut off from food and other essential supplies. now, one of the people who been fleeing to here originate from south to dawn and they left because of conflicts here, flooding or seeking economic opportunities and the ones well see a neighbor to the north. but since i sit on erupt into civil war,
1:43 am
they've had to sleep. how many of them are continuing that jenny's from here back to the towns and villages of origin, we spoke to some of them. let's take a look at the story. the way or the she says every mothers should keep her blanket with a have a not put it in the big trucks with the package. people here have a long journey ahead. they're trying to get to safety and south suit on. today the pizza said she was in a factory in suzanne's capital, cost to into fighting erupt, tips between the army and the power ministry rapid support forces cleaning a year ago. many people died. some were killed by the bombs from plains, even my best friend died. she told us a friend left behind the young child. she says, when food and water supplies run out, she left with the children have to leave mother behind because she has a disability. he doesn't know if she'll see her again. she's have to walk long
1:44 am
parts of the journey to reach here. the board, a town of rang. she's trying to connect with other relatives in south saddam's capital g, about 800 kilometers from here to many of the people. he said everything is happening so we can still check point west so it isn't taking them money or they may have all sides. it's makes it even more difficult to find missing family members. some of those don't keys and cars and trucks. these thoughts of south state on no well connected to the rest of the country by right next to that say the search you have to so many of the possessions to be able to afford the 1st part of the journey from here you ends migration organization is operating phone just to carry people up the river nile to the city of mount account and buy road and api on more than
1:45 am
a 100000 people have taken this route in the last. yeah. and hundreds more, keep coming every day. this has been one of the city of displacement that i've seen from my lifetime of how much that's what i mean. i've been, if it's easy enough for in the country, but to disagree. so i'm seeing now what have we done is coming back to the countries. we have received this coming in. and we have had that type, nothing was confusing, so coming in. so it comes so complex, the latest and most of the i don't life in cost 2. she's one of the millions of south to denise. he's gone that the decades to escape conflicts here. we'll seeking jobs. it will take nearly 3 days for the barge to reach mount account. it's going to be a tough journey and temperatures over 40 degrees. name is up to mistake. i'm happy to be making this trip, not only for myself, but for everyone here. i hope will all reach home safely to have to start so that
1:46 am
when she gets back to cuba, she says she hopes to find work and send her children back to school. there are a few jobs or public services. wouldn't be easy for any of these people to rebuild that lives, as well as the south se denise has been saying is also a growing number of sued. and these people saying from seed on to here, it doesn't have any private size or communities to go back to that say so is the option of going to a long term refugee settlement is about a day's drive from here. and that's one of the reasons many people are choosing to stay here in the transit come, the numbers are going up very seasons due to starts in the coming weeks. and humanitarian agencies are concerned that the limited sanitation is because we have going to become very strange. indeed. the former brazilian president are both in arrow, has been charged with criminal association on falsifying his own coat with 19 vaccination data. it's the 1st indictments for the embattled politician was facing several
1:47 am
criminal investigations. he's accused of putting false information into the public health database to make it appear as if he had received the corona virus vaccine, along with several people in his circle. and during the pandemic, both scenario was openly skeptical of vaccines and floated health restrictions. monica and cab has more from rio de janeiro. this is just one of many ongoing investigation sees also be investigated for spreading false information on this questioning whether discussing doubts, he's also being investigated for going to sneak in the news that you received from saudi arabia and that should have been declared customs or put in the selection process instead they were,
1:48 am
they tried to sell. so in the most serious is one is being investigated for masterminding e. uh, rights in the last year 2023 riots that were similar to the story of the capital, the west bibles and other foreigners who believe what he said the election that he lost stone. so he's facing a whole series of legal the urgency and presidents have you emulate as marking a 100 days since taking office. the right wing self proclaimed on our co capital is to power on december the 10th. promising to turn the country's fortunes around. but his time and office has been marked by frequent street protests against his costs cutting agenda. let's take a closer look at what malays done with his $100.00 days and power. so his 1st act was to the value of the local currency to pay. so by 54 percent,
1:49 am
he also removed government price controls, and that slowed both economic growth as well as public consumption. he caught a cabinet in house, leaving 9 governments ministries. he sliced public sector jobs by 50000 suspended, new public works contracts and cancel government fuel and transport subsidies. his government has frozen a to some 40000 soup kitchens pending and audits of their operations, with food prices increasing by nearly 50 percent since he came to office active as our warning of a hunger crisis. there is a boat has more from war and a series in the country right now is highly polarized in argentina. right now, when you talk to those who voted for heavy every day, they say that the president didn't know a lie to them. when he took coffee, as he told the population that the situation was going to be come incredibly hard before starting to get better. and that's exactly what happened to me like
1:50 am
continues to have around a 50 percent approval rating, especially among those who voted for him. and that's what they say. and that's why they continue to express their support for argentina's precedent. however, the situation is completely different on the street from the center of when a site is worth, the protest and the clashes between the police and protesters have become a norm. they're happening almost every week in violent caches between people trying to block roads to express their concerns about what is happening in argentina and the police that is trying to prevent them from blocking those roles. so students taking off 50, they evaluated the currency, we do subsidies on transport and electricity, the prices of see what has gone up. so the situation has become increasingly difficult for most people in this country. the government says it's boasting in a way that it has the support of the international monetary slumped fund. but for the 1st time in years, argentina has a budget surplus that in february, they have managed to reduce inflation from 25 percent to around 12 percent. so the
1:51 am
government is saying that in a way this plan is working, but against him against me, they are. those were on the street. thousands of them will say that malays economic plan comes a very expense still ahead on al jazeera. of course, we take a look at the latest global report on the climate on what records have been broken . the the news
1:52 am
the full time is running out for humanity to address the claimant crisis. and that's
1:53 am
the message from the world media or logical organization, which confirm 2023 as the hottest year. it's the scribe, the earth's climate as off the charts and warrant, but next year is likely to be harder. here's alta 0 is meteorologist a richmond fox. since the 1980s each decade has been warmer than the previous one, with the past 9 years being the warmest since records began. now 2023 has officially been confirmed as the hottest on the record by a huge margin as the average annual global temperature approach. 1.5 degrees celsius above pre industrial levels. and i symbolic because it means the world is edging ever closer to the limits set in the powers agreement. the shift from the cooling, natalie, india, to the woman el nino 5 the middle of last year, feel the hate and 2024 is expected to be even hotter. and of course,
1:54 am
that affects our oceans. sea surface temperatures were exceptionally high for much of 2023, and in particular, in the north atlantic. august saw a new record for some time which is beating the previous high setting 2016. in addition, maybe a 3rd of the global ocean was gripped by marine, his wife every day last year. well, the 90 percent of bessie's experience he y conditions at some point in 2023 class. he has suffered the logic smells on record since 1950. and the global sea level reached a 30 year record high until it takes the ice was by far the lowest on record. we've lost the size of france and germany combined. the number of people across the world who are acutely food insecure, has more than doubled from a 149000000 before the type of 19 pandemic to 333000000. how the report
1:55 am
size, although weather and climate x rays may not be the root cause, they are aggravating factors and continued to force people from their homes. australia is the great barrier reef is suffering from another mass coral bleaching event. scientists are concerned that since coral is vital to marine ecosystems, sarah clark reports from townsville. these are some of the 1st images from the aerial assessment of coal bleaching in the great barrier reef. bleaching occurs when will my ocean temperatures and pollution force cold to expel the algae that live in mid to sheets. yeah, i'll give the color range of color. scientists have declared 2020 for a mess. bleaching event. we call a mess carl bleaching when we see the majority of carls on many of the race that we survey across large areas of the marine park are bleaching. and that's the situation where and at the moment carl bleaching is just
1:56 am
a stress reaction from karl. so you could compare it, for example, to heat stroke in a human until now call in the southern section of the 2002, let me just stretch a brief head loudly escapes the most severe consequences of bleaching the heat. stress caused by an extreme marine hate wise. i have an extended period of time, means some structures, hundreds of years old, have been severely damaged. it's disturbing to say the least it's, it's sad it's, it's infuriating really because we know the cause. marine biologist, jody rama has witness 5 mess beachy events on the great barrier reef. in the past 8 years, she says ocean temperatures are increasing at a rate never seen before. and that's an oven assigned to the biggest coal system in the world. we're seeing this back to back year upon year. the reef means many years to recover from these heat waves and it's just not getting it. what's
1:57 am
happening here on the great fire reef? it's also happening on rapes around the world of the last 12 months. warming sea surface temperatures have caused bleaching events in the northern hemisphere and the only near conditions in the pacific have amplified the situation. so to say widespread bleaching in both northern and southern hemisphere puts the will on the costs of a global bleaching event. so we certainly saying a year on the increase in temperatures and, and in many wise for us that's meant that we've, we've actually starting to recognize that every, uh, there's going to be some explanation of, of thermal stress for space these lot, carl's, you, this guy's world heritage committee will decide if the great fairies should be listed as in danger when it made some new delhi in july. sarah clock out to 0. townsville, a letter from me a morning is of cherry johnston in a moment. thanks for watching. the

1:59 am
very painful. here. the story on told to how does era in 5 months of continue responding, israel has destroyed nearly all of causes higher education system. 12 of 19 universities completely destroy 95 professors and ph. d holders, 231 teachers and administrators for palestinians describe witnessing apparel and systematic more on education designed to wipe out because of schools and universe. how it is an attempt to annihilate the policy and influence on the academic work. obvious attempts, administrators and students say to silence peaceful protest at a century old institution with a history of fighting for freak all the campuses and activism go head to here and rumble like it's no different. this is exactly what kind of the israel, at this time israel's motives are clear, read campuses suppress students, fresh hopes for
