you mentioned a few moments ago. largely a result of gang violence and the report also says that low levels of education health care and high amounts of poverty as well as politicized and or corrupt police forces tend to correlate very strongly with high homicide rates the opposite is true for low homicide rates when police forces have a firm grip on the country are not politicized and the amount of social development education and health care is is growing there is another shocking statistic that came out of this report in addition to the ones that you mentioned in the graphic just a moment ago sammy 87000 women were killed in 2017 according to the report and the vast majority of those femen female homicides were committed by

believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal less dysfunctional less unpredictable the prime minister's office said she disagreed with the content of the memos but foreign secretary jeremy hunt was keen to defend the eyes and ears of the government in foreign capitals of course i made it clear that i don't share the ambassador's assessment of either the us administration or relations with the us administration but i do defend his right to make that frank assessment it's very important that our diplomats all over the world continue to be able to do so. that makes come just weeks after president donald trump and his family were fated with all the pomp and majesty of a state visit to the u.k. how easily all of that effort the unthinkable expense of it might now be squandered .

there are concerns in the corridors of whitehall about the possible fallout for u.k. u.s. relations ministers and civil servants here don't need a memo from washington to tell them the president from his rather better at making criticisms been receiving them to resume or has ordered an inquiry to try and find the source of the leak with suggestions that criminal charges should apply i think it's 3 me serious and it's serious because it fundamentally undermines the cultures that our invoice can have that the method is they sent back will be kept private now that puts at risk the ability of the british government to have the best possible advice of which to make policy decisions in relation to foreign affairs the ambassador may retain the prime minister's trust for now but she would be prime

a member of the board resigned on friday of last week presumably in protest at what these these decisions are going to in leeds to the point also to make here is that many of the job cuts the headline job cuts finance will not be taking place in germany they will instead be taking place in the cities were tortured back has representation amongst the large finance and financial institutions that's the headline to take from this many job cuts but not so far at least here in germany thousands of people have joined a peace march through forests in bowls in memory of the worst massacre in europe since world war 2 the 100 kilometer journey traces of being taken by bosnian muslims if the eastern town a stubborn and so when it was captured by bosnian serbs during the war in the 1990 s. 8000 men and boys were killed when the un protected enclave was attacked in july 9095 the massacre was branded genocide by international courts. from monday russians

tbilisi protesters were infuriated by georgia's parliament inviting russian politicians to visit demonstrators accuse their government of collaborating with the enemy russian troops continue to occupy 20 percent of territory its breakaway region and south ossetia. now we're hearing with our georgia and this place called the arch of modern math that found that friendship between georgia and russia. in reality colonialism communism and conflicts have all too often defined relations between the 2 countries though georgia has a special place in the hearts of many russians really was we love joe joe with so happy to be here. nearly one and a half 1000000 russians who are ists came to georgia last year that's around 20 percent of the total number of visits as georgia's national bank estimates that few

russian tourists could cost the economy as much as 300000000 dollars this year and it may be worse to come rajan tourists are coming for exactly this kind of experience. the beauty of the place. but to which in wine exports may be next on russia's banned list. russian officials talk of tightening controls on georgian food and beverages russia is a major market it's really difficult to quantify the impact of the tourism ban or the ban on flights and potentially the ban on wine the vegetables and fruits scrim a bit difficult to quantify in terms of g.d.p. impact but what i think we can quantify is the number of people who are going to be affected the number of people is going to be tremendously higher it's going to be a close to half the population. but right. that's

because more than half of george's population works in tourism and a group called. few russian rubles forced georgia to find new markets but until then the country could be in for a rough ride robyn 1st year walker. and that's it from here in london let's go back to doha. thanks for the now u.s. financier and registered sex offender jeffrey epstein has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges in the new york court scene is accused of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls at his homes in florida and new york from 2002 to 2005 u.s. prosecutors say they found photographs relating to the charges during a search of his mansion following his arrest on saturday the billionaire was once a friend of u.s. president donald trump and bill clinton previously avoided similar charges through a plea deal. u.s.

president donald trump will claim america is leading the world on environmental issues in a speech within a couple of hours but statistics from the environmental protection agency show that over the last 2 years pollution in the u.s. has increased under chapelle as more. well it really is there busy when the by the way you know we have gotten better since even better president trump statements about the environment have drawn criticism years before he began campaigning for the white house trump said he believed global warming was a hoax created by the chinese to hurt the u.s. economy in office he announced the u.s. withdrawal from the 2016 paris climate agreement an international effort to limit the rise of global average temperature by 2030 and he began revoking laws aimed at protecting the environment more recently he's also claimed you know we have the latest terror of the world in the united states and gotten better since i'm. we have to clear this water is crystal clear and i always say i want crystal clear

water data from the environmental protection agency shows that the number of bad air days jumped 20 percent and 2017 which was also the 1st year of trump's presidency a report by the state of global air which is backed by several u.s. universities ranks the u.s. as 8th best in the world in terms of particle pollution which is linked to tens of thousands of premature deaths each year under trump's presidency more than 80 environmental rules and regulations have been repealed withdrawn or weakened most aimed at reducing air pollution and emissions some environmental watchdogs say these changes will increase greenhouse gas emissions by the end of the century cost the u.s. economy hundreds of billions of dollars a year according to the pew research center a majority of americans now believe that climate change is affecting their local area and a 3rd say it's affecting them personally and are chapelle al-jazeera. safford is a researcher at the university of california davis policy institute for energy environment

and the color me joins us now by skype from davis california good to have you with us so the numbers don't seem to support what is talking about and how his administration is leading the world. what are his claims based on then. and the number certainly don't seem to support what he's going to talk about in an hour and my understanding is that president champ is doing this speech as environmental issues especially global warming are beginning to take precedence in voter mind leaving at the u.s. 2020 presidential election we saw on the 1st democratic primary presidential debates climate change be a big issue and now voters are starting to critique president chant for the environmental rollbacks in the movement in paris the core of that was mentioned at the top of the story and my understanding is that the president expects to and the size the clean air and clean water the united states has but we really have that

despite president not because of him strong legislation was next in the us in the 70s the 1980 s. to protect the water and air that legislation continues on the books today at the president is actually rolled back and or is met rolled back protections in companies by those. u.s. president talks about things like claim fuel beautiful clean coal the picture that emerges though is one of rising pollution. that coal as an industry as a whole of the u.s. hasn't really seen that resurgence that's right i mean clean call is really an oxymoron we can talk about the difference between call and clean or call there are ways that you can capture some of the emissions from burning coal but really what we need to be doing is transitioning to a coal. green economy which was the plan that president obama had started and had started the united states and now we're seeing trant return to clean call and make

clean coal or cleaner coal the emphasis is ministrations energy strategy that's really far reaching the potential that we could if we were transitioning to a non coal energy sources what so what does this leave do you think the trumpet ministrations policy on the climate going forward we've already had of course the withdrawal from the paris climate of cold weather expect that to go for the. so one thing that not a lot of people know is that even the president heads and house his intention to remove the united states from the paris climate accord that can't actually take the act until after the u.s. 20202020 presidential elections and that provisions of the dream and prevent that from happening so really a lot depends on the outcome of the u.s. 2020 alexion to present china wins reelection and we do expect to see him continue to move towards pulling the united states out of that hard if however he doesn't

win reelection in the next president could decide to reinstate the united states back into that accord ok thanks so much for your analysis that. thank you. not the most northern us states which is sweltering and then i'm president did hint way alarming signs of global warming are appearing all over the world including in alaska and as and the gallacher reports that's helping to melt glass is the fastest rate for centuries. in a state known as the last frontier there's no easy way to reach a glacier on foot or the climate research of brian brettschneider though it's become an increasingly important part of his work below as the stunning sight of the portage glacier a vast structure of ice and rockets being here for tens of thousands of years in recent decades this another glaciers in the region a melting at an alarming rate we're used to thinking about things changing over time spans that are longer than human lifetimes but when you come back here year

after year and you notice with your own eyes not with any kind of fancy equipment but you notice how much it's changing it's really dramatic and it really causes you to think about you know where we're at and where we're going and what we can do about it all kind of a limit to show the rate of change a transformation researchers say is driven by rising global temperature is one startling example of just how far and how fast this glacier is going to perhaps this building it was constructed in 1986 for one reason alone and that was to give tourists a direct view of the face of the glacier but if you look out here now all you see is water and to get to the glacier it's a half hour long boat trip. the tom again cruise ship has been taking tory's out to the glacier for decades and deck can david mazak join the crew in 19971 tells us back then the portage glacier was very different. giant fires of oyster shot up

like bunkers and they went up over 130 feet into the air. on the side to the glacier you had huge monoliths of ice like big walls of ice and they would. down. like. many of the tourists that take the cruiser away glaciers are disappearing for those who have traveled far to see one of alaska's most iconic sites there's a sense that this might be their last chance it can treat me. with kind of the best we can tear children. wasting away like this and they will have anything to really. take yeah you showed us a picture a while ago i think it was 914 and the lake was just like right here and now look up it is it looks like it's like 100 times bigger so. some. researchers say the effects of global climate change can be reversed giving glaciers the chance to slowly recover but time is running out. and the gallacher now joins

us live from anchorage alaska so as you've been explaining in your report those places can recover but does it look like we're heading in that direction does not currently because what this needs is radical policy change but if there is a light at the end of the tunnel it's that climatologists say if those policy changes to reduce carbon emissions do take place glaciers like the ones here in alaska will incrementally recover over the decades and over the next few 100 years but look this state is going through an unprecedented heat wave at the moment heat records are being broken all across the region you can see the mountains behind me shrouded in smoke from wildfires so this is a state that's truly living on the frontier of climate change and this is not something as is traditional in decades or hundreds of years this is

a year by year change that people a seeing with their own eyes andy this comes in a day we're going to hear from dawn from talking about how is this news tracing is leading the world out of people square that people their way you are square that with what they see going on around the. i mean i think most people here aren't aware that the president will be making his speech about the environment today but they live it on a daily basis this is a very outdoors state you're very aware of the outdoors when you are here and i think people even some officials are quite calling to talk about manmade global climate change but at the back of many people's minds is well what can we do about this we're seeing this happening on a daily basis and then for the fires for instance the hotshot crews that are brought in from all over the country have very thinly stretched i know fire officials are thinking well if alaskan summers keep getting hotter and longer we're not going to have the resources to deal with things like this and we're not talking about something like deforestation where you can replant trees we're talking about

glaciers that are tens of thousands if not millions of years old rapidly disappearing and there's not much without radical poll.
