since legislation i think quite can really try and expedite excel or a catalyst change on the ground through the actions of buying companies the political pressure also needs to come in other fora needs to come through environmental diplomacy it needs to come through packages of incentives that are actually commensurate with the scale of the challenge i think one of the problems for example with this recent stats between macron and boston are that we've all been witness to. the g 7 apparently one of the most powerful gatherings of global players of world leaders they tabled this the most gender isom and came at the end of a $20000000.00 package now that's problematic on 2 levels one it's an almost offensively small amount of money when you think about the challenge so it's bound to stoke the fires of xenophobia resentment of foreign players interfering in brazil's sufferance and secondly it's targeted at the symptoms of the problem so

putting out fires if you qualify you posted put it out that far more importantly when you think about ways to avoid those fires being led to the skating into the forest in the 1st place and all of the systems and the understanding the technology needed to do that is all in place we just need resources to be able to implement it better and to ensure that the rules that brazil already have has really ready were world class environmental legislation that is in full and if it wasn't forced and if founders were properly supported especially farmers who have no choice of which is not the main source of the problem but they need support as well in order to ensure that that practices can continue insisting the way to be garnered joining us from stockholm to i thank you so much for your time thank you very much for having me on the emergency in the amazon of course stretches beyond brazil nearly one and a half 1000000 hectares of tropical rainforest in both. livia have been destroyed

as well the difference though is bolivian president evo morales actually wants international aid to fight the fires and one of the things he's trying to save is the large diverse number of animals trapped in the flames in america as alysia newman has more from some ignacio in eastern bolivia. a team of believe in veterinarians traveled to the us to reserve a forest fires have been raging for weeks but their mission is to try to rescue wild animals which may have been injured. this was the scene the previous night the fire destroyed everything in its path. but if you animals were saved like this 2 day old wild pig whose mother died in the fire. this of the of that nature is extraordinary the way to loused these creatures to adapt in the face of danger and stress and find refuge in or mud dillo with pern ties

a hawk recovering from smoke inhalation along with the boa constrictor they're all receiving treatment at this shelter today the rescue whose hope to find more survivors with writing in a direction a the huge black mushroom a small which indicate sometimes where there's a fire and fully can tell because of the large number of butterflies than are flying ling this area has already burnt to the ground and there's no sign of life doc to swat is pokes around to serpent whole if it's deep enough he says the snakes may have survived wearing up or if you have if you can see this is apocalyptic there's nothing left these are part of the world's longs now its nature that's disappearing next it will be us this no sign of firefighters here as you could see the wind here is absolutely fierce and it's fanning the flames again in this direction the plan is to bring as supertanker helicopter here in the next couple of

days to leave water for the animals that have survived but that helicopter is also needed to put out the fires to save human life with you at the fire remains out of control a thick layer of smoke and ash spills the air making the sun look rid of the it's too dangerous to stay and the the to marion's are upset that they couldn't save a single animal i mean you know me and i feel impotent because people are and seen how the imus one is burning how i ne was of burning alive a no one he's doing anything while much of the world focuses on the fires raging in the brazilian amazon the devastation here in neighboring bolivia is receiving far less attention even though assistance is desperately needed not just to put out the fires but to regenerate this fragile and diverse eco system so that what has survived will still be able to live here. we're looking at

aviation now and in this part of the world we often talk about the big 3 dubai's emirates airline qatar airways based here in doha and he had from abu dhabi now back in 2005 if he had had some big ambitions to expand and began buying stakes in a bunch of airlines that were bleeding cash it decided to fund air berlin alitalia and india's jet airways by selling bonds worth one point $2000000000.00 now something like this just wouldn't have been possible without the help of an international investment bank and that bank just happened to be open sachs but is the airlines filed for bankruptcy or collapse the bonds became worthless and investors who bought the bonds thought he had would step in and repay the debt well now a group of bond owners have hired private detectives to find out how the deal was put together and to recover as much money as possible so let's talk about as the questions that have been raised about goldman's decision to step in when another international bank decided not to help raise money we're going to london now to

talk to robert sally who is the managing director of the capital a london based broker nice to have you with us robert i think the 1st thing we should deal with is raising the money in the 1st place there is perhaps a misconception that all the gulf airlines are cashed up and that they are all subsidized by their governments but i guess this sort of showed that they had to raise capital like anyone else at a low being state owned and receiving support has been lost making for many years and in the last years when they wanted to build out their platform within europe they had an ambition that if they bought into some of the european airlines they might be able to start building an alliance of partner airlines that feeds into the . network of any add international flights and it increases their international use lies ation right so on average their planes have been running at nearly sort of

10 percent lower capacity than some of their international rivals and that of course has a major impact on their profitability. as a result you know they've gone on this international expansion bought into air berlin and alitalia to historically loss making airlines and they've not only bought a large equity stake which gives them a significant management role they've also supported those airlines with raising debt and that's where we get this new vehicle in the netherlands that has helped alitalia and air berlin lend hindsight of course is a wonderful thing robert but did they just make some really bad decisions they were with maybe i mean maybe the idea was a bad but the airlines they went after when the right ones i think they had potential a bad advice but in a market like the airline industry you ole you can't always decide which companies

you're going to buy so i think they might have had a slightly limited choice of who was available to go after and air berlin and i was out. in some way right for investment they were lost making they potentially were looking for a new ownership or a rescue and that seemed to be the knight in shining shining armor that would come and rescue them from their losses 3rd to talk about the losses what's gone wrong the loans have gone sour and people are looking for their money. yes or over the years i mean lennon i'll tell you have just wrapped up losses year after year. seems to be some sort of zombie airline that never stops flying although year after year the losses rack up. i think a lot of people held out hope that the alliance or that you had would bring in a new change and support from my money and up investor well in fact that really

sort of hasn't transpired as the bankruptcies of both of the airlines has proven. the financing vehicle then or to put the icing on the cake added further hope to investors and you know when they created these e.a. partner vehicles you would be forgiven for thinking at yad was standing shoulder to shoulder with the airlines and backing them till about the involvement of goldman sachs then obviously very well the deal wouldn't have happened without them i think you're right goldman sachs is involvement is actually crucial in this matter if they hadn't put their name on to the paperwork that wouldn't have really gotten this deal across but on. the smaller brokers and no and a.d.'s don't really have i think the reputation to bring about such a large financing and to bring about the support of investors to put down something like 1200000000 for this sort of deal it's it's really critical that goldman

was on board on this and you know the relationship between goldman. is is a good one so you probably thought well with these 2 partners involved. the bond is relatively secure. so these investors are now going after their money and in some cases as we said hiring private detectives to figure out what on earth happened with this deal and do you think they stand much hope or i don't think you can just sort of categorize all of the investors as. trying to go after and especially not goldman i think i think the issue is that a lot of the investors are domestic people they trusted the name of it and they thought when they're buying into this. they're supporting perhaps one of the national champions. and they're going to be looked after as well and there were

documents out there from fitch that implied. it was supporting this bond ok robin sally great to talk to you thank you for your time today thank you now the tit for tat tariffs between the u.s. in china have gone into effect in the ongoing trade war and there is little doubt both countries are hurting many american farmers are suffering because of his views in fact farm bankruptcies are up and the trumpet ministration has given $24000000000.00 in financial aid but there are always exceptions garlic growers are actually profiting from the standoff with china rob reynolds spoke to one farmer in gilroy california the heart of the country's garment growing region. the garlic king of california can christopher is the 3rd generation to run his family's garlic ranch in the town of gilroy christopher ranch is the united states largest producer and processor of the pungent bulbs so essential to so many of the world's

cuisine it's employs a 1000 workers earn $15.00 an hour good wages for agricultural and food processing work christopher took us to his cavernous warehouse just before harvest time but we are currently standing in what will soon be the largest concentration of garlic on the north american continent so when we start loading this room which is starting this week we're going to about $50000000.00 pounds in the space alone that's 22000000 kilos and any way you crush slice dice or sauté it that's a lot more like for decades cheap chinese garlic imports undercut domestic producers now garlic growers are smelling the sweet scented punitive tariffs effective june 15th the government tear up is now in effect at 25 percent and that's impacting all invalid garlock now we have an opportunity to expand acreage grow more garlic than ever before invest in new employees new infrastructure for

gerlach growers here in california the tariffs have been great news but other farmers across the country complain they are the real victims of the china trade war the vast horn soybean and hawg farms of the u.s. heartland have watched prices plummet as china's stop buying in retaliation for the trump administration's terrorists to limit the economic and political damage president donald trump promises a $16000000000.00 handout to affected farmers but even the garlic kenya admits a prolonging trade battle boom good for the economy we understand that this trade we're a could stand to hurt a lot of americans if it drags on for too long economists' and central bank. girls are watching with alarm is global trade flows slow manufacturing shrinks and confidence sags over trump's trade war and the longer it goes on the economic outlook for workers consumers and yes even garlic farmers will start to stink.

and on that fragrant note that is our show for this week we'd love to hear from you though you can tweet me directly on that come on you can use the hashtag a j c t c or you can email us directly comes in the constant al jazeera dot net is the address and there's more few online and on to 0 duck home slash c t c that takes straight to our page which has individual reports links and entire episodes for you to catch up on. but that is it for this edition of counting the cost i'm kemal santamaria from the whole team thanks for joining us the news on al-jazeera is next . big stores generate thousands of headlines it seems that much the media is still struggling with how to deal with it with different angles from different perspectives and you hold to separate the spin from the facts. the misinformation from the journalism how careful must future your words but some

tough stuff has to be said some critics have to be late the listening post on al-jazeera. in this life the most incredible stories are often true. and cheering go on experiences. makes the unfamiliar for me or. in this life diversity makes a difference understanding the importance of being part of something much greater than also in this life what i want to use is freedom of expression. the right to mortgage. sean and a lot into the darkness. because you dislike the desire to understand that. makes us human. and the human

condition is universe of. al-jazeera where every. this is al-jazeera. you're watching the news hour life from headquarters in doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes. it would. be eternally remembered and. after his death at 95 it isn't bob weigh on the world reflect

on the mixed legacy of robert mugabe who fought to liberate his country then let it to ruin. our memory is really the differences of governance. human rights situation in the country caused the collapse of systems. also ahead warnings that the bahamas final death toll could be staggering after its islands were devastated by hurricane dorian. a huge setback for india's space exploration hopes losing contact with its moon lander as it was about to touch down. and a bill blocking and no deal breaks it will become law within days after being approved by the u.k. parliament upper house. hello for many he will be remembered as the hero who led zimbabwe to freedom but

others regard him as a corrupt dictator who brought about economic disaster robert mugabe's death at the age of 95 has seen tributes pouring in from across the world but also harsh criticism of one of africa's most divisive leaders until he was overthrown 2 years ago he was the only leader many zimbabweans had ever known how much begins our coverage from harare. president relationship with robert mugabe was not always easy but on friday he praised the man he replaced as a principled comrade would made huge sacrifices for his country is we await. the remains. but didn't. we pray that we would load ground mrs wood in used. to eternal rest we. morning

our leader and you use very godly died in singapore receiving treatment for several years he was 95 years old mugabe leaves a complicated legacy to some he was a hero an african legend that his education policy is the reason why zimbabwe has one of the highest literacy rates in africa because gridley and he knew that would make a good. education it emitted possible for the kids of zimbabwe to get their free choice of learning but others point to a history of disputed elections and trends corruption allegations of human rights abuses and political and economic turmoil to destroy a dominant nothing that truman was there really really great did nothing for a nation for it wanted to do is brand as as in disaster and everything opposition leaders say some of the god is black empowerment policies such as land reform and indigenisation cripple the economy and government services the fact that it has led

to pass on in foreign lands is something that points to the problems that we have in our country we can't save our leaders in africa being treated in foreign lands we must be able to fix our politics fix our government institutions fix our governance systems so that we have big ideas not just big men big institutions not just big you know personalities mugabe remains a polarizing figure but government officials say who'd be treated with respect and dignity due to zimbabwe's founding father robert mugabe will be given a state funeral his body will lie in state for a few days then he will be buried at the national hero symmetry in the capital when many people who fought in a white minority rule are there 800000 al-jazeera. so let's look more closely at key events that have given robert mugabe such a dubious record on human rights and the economy 3 years after became independent in 1980 mugabe's forces crushed those of

a former revolutionary ally rights groups estimate 20000 people were killed in 200-2001 his supporters violently took control of zimbabwe's 4 and a half 1000 white owned farms much of that land was handed over to loyalists that accelerated a rapid economic dip decline hyperinflation peaked at a scarcely believe a bulls 79600000000 percent a month in november 2008 he went on to win elections in 20082013 that critics at home and abroad said were clearly rigged the us through its state department has offered condolences but gave a scathing criticism of forgot his rule in a statement spokeswoman morgan or tiger said robert mugabe helped liberate zimbabwe but as human rights abuses and gross economic mismanagement impoverished millions and betrayed his people's hopes for their nation we continue to support the

aspirations of the zimbabwean people for a better more prosperous future steven chan is from the school of oriental and african studies at the university of london he says no matter who pays tribute violence on mismanagement will define how mugabe is remembered. they're living through the legacy right now which is an economic collapse living through a legacy of fraudulent democracy basically the country is on its knees economically there's no productive time to bring it back on its feet and so the legacy of okabe is going to be a tragic one at last for quite some years to come i think you are too cheap from the robert mugabe years the 1st is a lack of operational planning for productivity the idea of going out of borrowing yet more money to rescue the country that seems to be the only idea in the head of the planners and the head of the minister of finance the other hunger the

republican base yes is the use of violence against them when citizens great violence as if the government has no response of the proper dialogue with its own citizens i think that a book truthful in it will be commanded for a period of time i think that after the burial after people have come to grips with the idea that nothing has changed in terms of the legacy bequeath to that they'll start asking questions of the current government the government which is representing the party of robert mugabe it's true mugabe was a great liberation gita nobody could take that away from him it was a completely true that his policies lead the country to bankruptcy 2 palestinian teenagers have been killed by israeli forces during protests along the border fence separating gaza and israel their deaths mark an uptick in violence since march last year. than eons have been gathering at the border to demand an end to israel's

blockade of the strip and a right to return to land seized after israel's creation in 1948 nearly $270.00 palestinians have been killed since the demonstrations began. thousands of people in northern syria have been protesting against russian airstrikes more than 500 have been killed in the province over the past 4 months russian backed syrian forces have been trying to recapture the country's last major rebel held territory . the devastation caused by hurricane dorian in the bahamas is being likened to a tsunami with entire neighborhoods flattened at least 30 people are known to have died across the caribbean nation but officials are warning that number could rise dramatically dorian was the most powerful hurricane to hit the bahamas and the focus now is bringing on aid bringing in aid let's get an update from

joining us from freeport that's on the island of grand bahama which is really one of the worst hit areas just tell us what you've been seeing. yes just to reiterate we are in freeport and grand bahama this is one of the worst hit areas by hurricane door and i want to give you a sense of where we are right now this is a residential area behind us is just a street filled with debris everything that you can imagine it's anything that could make up a home there's washing machines refrigerators furniture there's power lines in the streets there's there's no electricity no running water that that's one of the biggest concerns right now as the crisis continues to unfold the storm may be over but the devastation here remains there's the concerns over shortages of food shortages of water shortages of medicine search and rescue operations are still underway and for many of the survivors many of the people that that are here are desperately looking for a way out earlier today we were on the island of abaco which was also heavily hit

by this hurricane again category 5 hurricane wind gusts upwards of 350 miles an hour and it wasn't just those the strong winds it was this it was the surge from the ocean we're talking about this area where we are right now you see all this debris this was under at least 3 meters of waters of devastation really is really as widespread when we were flying in we got a sense of that devastation entire neighborhoods flattened as if a bomb had gone off i know it sounds cliche to say that but these their houses it's not just with the roofs blown off it's the nothing left but foundation so for the people that are here for survivors that are here not only are they concerned about the shortages they're really looking for a way out and planes and finally started to arrive to air airlift people out but it seems as though there aren't enough claims there are a lot of people that are just desperate to get out yeah and how challenging has the search and recovery operation been money well.

it is challenging especially for some of the more difficult to reach areas as i mentioned there are air strips that have been cleared off now but search and rescue operations continue we know that the official death toll is still. upwards of 30 at this point but that number is expected is expected to grow there are still a lot of people missing when we were leaving the island of abaco today we saw some of those search and rescue teams starting to arrive from the united states finally making their way into certain parts of the country that haven't been accessed yet one of those areas is marsh harbor marsh harbor is likely one is likely the most hard hit areas when we were there yesterday we saw people walking around the streets just completely days not knowing where to go there's only one health care facility left on in that entire community and only only yesterday were were helicopters starting to arrive to airlift people out so while there are while the

search and rescue operations continue those challenges remain remain very difficult and for for people what are their most immediate needs what do they need right away right to sue and just about everybody that we've spoken to says that what they want to do right now is get out they want to be able to go to nassau because there's no electricity as you mentioned there's no running water and there's concerns over shortages of food medicine and water we've heard even before but before we were able to arrive in the bahamas the united nations had put out that statement saying that these are shortages that could worsen the crisis without immediate intervention from the international community there's there's concern that because this is an island nation there very soon could be running out of out of food we know that some of the cruise ships for example this is this a country that relies very heavily on tourism so that you cannot.
