comes to international standards there can be no further on the trains current judicial system which it would be generous to describe it as a kangaroo court but also we've seeing. credible reports of torture. we've heard from the families of the men that one of them was shot during his arrest and those bullets were only removed 23 days later when they came to visit him. in prison he was in a wheelchair his toenails had all been removed he couldn't walk and he said he used electro shock patterns on him and beaten him severely and forced him to sign a confession so these trials are frankly the least credible trolls i can think of this really is is par for the course in bahrain we saw 3 executions a couple of years ago in 2017 of a very similar pattern and we're seeing these executions now

a lot of that has been linked to in fact the reign embassy in the united states linked the executions explicitly to donald trump resuming executions in america and i think it's very important to link the timing of these executions to the recess in the u.k. a you and us parliamentary bodies because bahrain does not want scrutiny of excess occasions so it's good to talk about it on the media for policemen have been killed in a suicide attack in the afghan province of cousinly 12 others were wounded in the explosion in the band district taliban has claimed responsibility. still to come on out to sea around the state funeral engine is here as the nation's 1st democratically elected president is laid to rest and here in the ivory coast where farmers are moving from cuckoo to

skies but we do expect to see some showers here across much of the southeast coast and that will be from fuzhou go down towards hong kong attempt if you are 31 degrees they're getting a little bit better for joe more sun temperatures rising to 36 but we do expect to see hong kong with attempted there of 32 degrees and then very quickly across parts of the philippines it is going to be very heavy rain over the next few days and that is going to be expanding as we go towards monday but down here towards jakarta plenty of sun in your forecast with a temperature of 32 degrees and palu and about 30 for you. it could be the biggest lie in history. as powerful nations lay claim to territories under the ocean $21.00 geologists are secretly plotting new borders.

activists say is proof that officers colluded with the attackers sarah clarke is life there for as sara we've had to recast fired just how are things looking at the movements. well the last half an hour there's also been another confrontation between the police and the protesters in a village that's not far from here called now why pin village we believe it's reports reported that sponge grenades have been used on those protesters trying to disperse the crowd the anti-government protesters who are here in your long and as i mentioned name wiping village which is about a 15 minute walk from where we are now so there's been a standoff the last where we are gas has been fired on a number of occasions and the protesters at this stage appear to have dispersed in various directions but the protest hasn't finished yet we just simply have them

dispersing or spreading themselves out around this area at the young police station that was the main target for this rally simply because it was it accused of these people the anti-government protesters have accused the place of failing to help them last week when a mob of a criminal gangs that often referred to as triads in hong kong they attacked those protesters quite violently 46 people were injured some in a critical condition so this is almost a revenge or certainly a protest targeting the place accusing them of failing to help but as i said the situation has been intensifying of the last couple of hours 2 different locations being pepper sprayed tear gas and as i mentioned sponge grenades fired at those protests is trying to disperse the crowd and end this ongoing rally there we are showing live pictures which are showing some large numbers of protesters on the streets but these protests of different aren't very we have seen massive protests against the extradition battle over the past few weeks but this one really is

something quite separate isn't. it is and this has basically become it was another level i should say of violence associated with these protests from last weekend when we saw this wall of people wearing white t. shirts wielding big steel rods and battens botley attacking indiscriminately passengers on the where we are now long so we've studied that the level of violence has escalated and now it's become very much a confrontation between the police and the protesters as well as whole rallies mass rallies began as a opposition to the extradition or proposed extradition law which according to terry lamb actually says it's did but it's not withdrawn completely these fears it could come back on the table to the government but in another form but now it's a it's a broader message these people are fighting on a number of fronts accusations the police are using unfair and violent actions on

these protesters particular in their peaceful rallies but there's a wide variety of different types of blockades protests demonstrations that are continuing and spreading every weekend here in hong kong ok sara karkare facts very much for bringing us up state sarah clarke reports now live from hong kong. the world leaders are in tunis here for the funeral of its 1st democratically elected president. the 92 year old died on thursday for what the government said was a severe health crisis where he'll be laid to rest at a hillside cemetery where other leaders are buried french president. german chancellor angela merkel and cutters are mere to mean been heard from the are just some off the leaders attending were all just seriously the cheater joins us now live from the capital david that funeral is so underway what were those.

well i think everybody's now thinking about the legacy of the presidency he is the man who essentially put democracy on a safe and straight track he came out of retirement in 20112014 was elected president he is the man has tried to unite the secular elements of the brutal structure with the religious elements and that has succeeded it's so one spring uprising that hasn't torn itself apart and there's already been a stable transition of power in the constitution that he himself helped write that speaker of the parliament has taken over as the interim president and then bringing forward the presidential elections to september the 15th so already the people here in tunisia a proud of what their young democracy is doing proud that there's been no instability

no uprising in any sort of way and they want to see this funeral take place an atmosphere of dignity and pride that they all feel in their young democracy david says as you mentioned has said see has left quite a strong constitutional legacy but she does see it does still have challenges ahead does it not. it most certainly does the one that always raises its ugly head is of course the economy democracy might be safe for the moment but nothing can be saved if the economy isn't set right 15 percent unemployment that's still rising that see one percent amongst graduates if you look across the whole of the region of g.s. here there's a huge difference in the economic chasms between various parts of this country now this is all causing social unrest the prices are still rising year both food and fuel because of the austerity measures forced on the country by the i.m.f.

now this is a tinderbox if you like if you look around the arab world those sort of pressures creatures a lot more violence now can she need to survive we think so that people here believe so they believe in this democracy that believe that they can withstand all of these pressures and create a government by the end of this year as a parliamentary in a presidential run which can tackle these problems so still optimism ahead of persons here if only just ok david cheated david chase there live for us in china thanks very much indeed all. a months foreign minister has held talks in tehran with iran stopped at the mass about intensifying gulf crisis months playing the role of mediator in the streets over the painted british and if green in tankers well last week musket urged her on to release the u.k.

on thursday those are the headlines the news continues and al-jazeera after inside story. as climate change to blame for the heat wave in europe temperatures have hit records and many countries their scientists say heat waves like this will be the new normal in the future so if that's right isn't enough being done to prevent them this is inside story.

hello and welcome to the program i'm richelle carey a heat wave has baked western europe this week with cities and france and the netherlands seeing record breaking temperatures and germany a new high forced the shutdown of a nuclear reactor after the water became too hot and the temperatures in the u.k. soaring past previous levels it's met office is warning heat waves like this could become normal and 2 decades well that's our guess but 1st this report from today. enjoying the heat in paris the water fountains by the eiffel tower a popular place for those trying to stay cool. as a red alert was issued for northern france in the capital reached an all time national record of $41.00 celsius well french media reports suggest 5 deaths might to be linked to the current heat wave. of one state belgium germany and the netherlands all recorded the highest ever temperatures and they did it again on

thursday topping 40 degrees celsius. while some of the belgian capital brussels are making the most of it it's led to a so-called code red being issued for the 1st time we are observing the weather since 1933 so nearly 200 years and we never experienced this kind of temperatures over in britain as temperatures soared activists in london staged a small protest outside base building housing media outlets demanding they concentrate less old images of fun in the sun and more in explaining the extreme weather. we can't talk about a horse they already call with headlines like scorcher without looking into why is it the highest and what does that mean for she manatee what's that mean in the next 102030 years. there were to eat for food for particularly for people in developing countries who this is affecting right now but al-jazeera had no

difficulty finding people who are concerned about what's driving the increasingly common heat waves people start realizing that things are changing and quite quickly in the climate and so is is the moment to just to change something. before it's too late this is something that makes our planet less. comfortable to live on say we have to think about how to stop it so that also our children can still survive on this planet most people here in britain welcome a bit of sunshine but for when the humidity and on a day like this the priority for lots of people is actually staying in the shade more broadly more and more starting to draw the line between europe 6 streams summers and the climate crisis the u.k. government's advisory committee on climate change has warned the country is not prepared for the extremes that global warming is expected to bring here the current heat wave which prompted health warnings and brought trains to a standstill in some parts. and in southern europe this was greece on wednesday

a series of wildfires are a reminder of conditions that many are calling the new normal. and while those conditions have their upsides they bring their own dangers the dean bob al-jazeera london. let's take a closer look at those soaring temperatures across western europe germany netherlands and belgium broke all time temperature records over the past 2 days a new national record was set in germany when the thermometer reached 41.5 degrees celsius in the netherlands it hit 40.7 temperatures in belgium reached 40.6 degrees that is the highest in 7 decades paris experienced its hottest day ever at 42.6 degrees red alert was issued in northern france and 13 cities in italy and the u.k. saw its 2nd hottest day ever on thursday as temperatures soar to 38 point one degrees extreme heat disrupted travel across europe with trains running slowly to avoid buckling rails.

let's introduce the panel now in london nathan thankee a coordinator of the global campaign to demand climate justice engine eva by skype tessa kelly a climate change coordinator at the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies and left proton matthews a lecturer in climate science at the university there welcome to all of you and i'm tom i want to start with you if if we have a hurricane or a tornado or earth flooding that is immediately seen as an emergency do you think that these heat waves and climate change are being treated as a proper emergency. i mean that's an excellent question here are the things like triple psych loans very visual did the destruction that they they cause is rightly seen as an emergency heat waves are a very different very different being because they're sort of a creeping threat you don't see the heat but you use that you fear it and worldwide

does anyone my concerns are they are in extreme heat we really have billions of people worldwide living in places that experience really extreme conditions far more curing what we've seen in europe in the last few days temperatures approaching 50 degrees celsius and they really challenge people's ability to you know sort of even to just survive and certainly in a really challenge people was options or the district them becomes doing things like earning a living and out of all the all the climate hazards that can respond to a warming climate change in a warm climate it's extreme heat is but that is perhaps the clip the clearest change as temperatures increase worldwide dangerously hot weather becomes more frequent and it becomes more intense so expect to say temperatures of the likes of 40 degrees that we saw in the u.k. are close to 40 degrees the high forty's and south of france and the $54.00 degrees that occurred in pakistan in 2017 occurring more frequently and events of the same

rarity to be even more severe as are higher temperatures and i think to date perhaps that has been slightly off the agenda or at least not as high on the agenda as it should be in terms of how we sort of prioritize climate hazards in a in a in a warmer climate nathan how predictable are decent ways. i mean i'm not a climate scientist but i think that you know layperson can say that they're quite predictable. the last 4 years have been the highest on record when we look at them it's a cumulative effect 2015 is the highest the hottest year that there ever has been followed closely 520-162-0172 extension 8 team we don't know what we are art for $21000.00 but we can we can say a high degree of certainty that it's going to be up there so the likelihood of these types of events heat with but also the other imparts from climate change. being seen more frequently is increasing exponentially it's not really

a matter of debate anymore and it. will talk about climate change broadly in just a moment the 1st pacifically when it comes to heat waves like this what does that mean for what's expected red cross and red crescent where the red cross and red crescent have volunteers that are working with communities that are working with the most vulnerable people affected by climate change and in particular heat waves and what we're seeing is that often the most vulnerable people were are afflicted algerie pregnant women children people with preexisting medical conditions we have to make sure that in times like heat waves but with which looking at them and making sure they're ok this is exactly what national reprocessed rechristened societies do on the ground tom how would you say if you had to critique how governments in the west right now are dealing with this how how would you grade them. so i mean certainly policy is not really an area that i research actively but

we can we can observe some very positive things have been done by western governments in the last few years since the last time europe at least was hit by really big heat waves that was 2003 and that really opened lot of people's eyes with 70000 people killed and in the wake of that a number of initiatives were set up by governments across europe these he health early warning plans that sort of kick into action when extreme heat is forecast and we've seen those those plans working well far so we haven't seen the large loss of life we witnessed in 2003 despite temperatures of passing those values and in the rest of europe now of course a bigger question i suppose is is how well we in the west generally are supporting you know sort of measures worldwide to to reduce the challenge posed by extreme heat because one thing i will say is that in europe it's possible with the behavioral changes and the sorts of things are done these he health of the patient plans to minimize the impact of really extreme heat elsewhere in the world it's not

quite as easy when temperatures approaching 50 degrees slowing down drinking water or any body's sort of so much and i say men who have so much latitude to increase our president i said just a moment we're going to have the challenge out there if i could step in for just a moment we are going to come back to what to broadening this broadening this out beyond europe in just a moment so if i can just get you to hold that point for a moment but in the meantime nathan climate change is not something that we debate here at al-jazeera is it is fact but the fact that it is still debated in some places particularly places like the u.s. how troubling how dangerous is that. it's really troubling we're the rest of the world is effectively being held hostage by a small number of very wealthy very white quite old men in the united states. who have funneled over over a period of decades billions of dollars into this information and into delaying the

kind of progress on the might have happened within the united states in terms of reducing its own mahsud of emissions share so i think that it's a you know frankly it's a disgrace. generally more surprised that there hasn't been in the united states an uprising. to really root the might because the don't serve any interests other than their own elite interests. so tom if you can hear their nathan said you know he's surprised there's not more of an uprising and there are you know protests and demonstrations about climate change in a lot of different places but why do you think that it's still doesn't really resonate with some people the sense of urgency about it well again i'm in my expertise in the physical system so you know i'll come and him or is sort of. objectives i suppose a violation to that question there's been a lot of research that shows that climate change is something this can be easy to

distance himself from because the immediate impacts are felt by others a long way away and in this case i think that's quite a person with respect to extreme heat. they didn't show for this for this discussion because the most challenging conditions worldwide are faced away from the west they are faced in places like southeast asia around the persian gulf and around east asia and when we see impacts like that somewhere else is perhaps easier going to the agency of the situation and perhaps that that propagates down to policy that does not an area that are or comment on so to say you do see this up close this is not something that is far away and distant for you and for the red cross tell us how much more this is a bigger piece of what you do now having to deal with the after effects of climate change and weather so it really is very. i am prophecy and now. 3000 weather in just a lot.
