global bird migration flight rich or sick right where we are the place it discovered a treasure trove it is one of the most special low clouds in the planet. ecosystems elaborate on al-jazeera. protesters wreck a u.n. compound in eastern democratic republic of congo accusing you of annihilation of failing to protect them. hello welcome to al-jazeera live from i'm martin that is also coming up the strongest earthquake to hit out a near in decades topples buildings and kills at least 6 people. security forces in georgia block demonstrators trying to stop politicians from entering polman. and we

look at why climate change matters more than the economy to many british voters. but 1st hundreds of people are marching towards an effort in the s. and democratic republic of congo where un peacekeepers abased is growing anger against the u.n. in the city of beni after persistent attacks from armed rebels despite the presence of the world's largest contingent of peacekeepers on monday people stormed the u.n. compound 4 people were killed the un has denied that it's peacekeepers fired at civilians ok we can speak now to oma abood who's head of the united nations ingrown nord in beni and he's joining us live from there thanks for talking to us 1st of all are you aware of what sounds like hundreds of people who are making their way to the money base which is close to the airport in beni. of course

we are a good morning everyone 1st of course we are aware of the demonstrators who are making their way and we are at the same time making every effort to continue the dialogue with these demonstrators and their leaders as well as with the national authorities local and in government and in contrast to ensure. and return to peace and security in the region but it doesn't seem to be working so far does it because people in beni appear to be furious at correspondent telling us that people have been setting fire to cars people their young men on the streets with machetes they are claiming that the u.n. actually fired at them there were several casualties yesterday and said that the un soldiers actually fired live rounds at miss at the case. we did not fire rounds at demonstrators. we have.

our troops and our police officers who are trained in red control who provided protection to our compound while it was being attacked for hours at a time we did not fire at demonstrators we have used our police officers who have the capacity and the means to control the. demonstrators and this is what happened last night that. is going to give me what did they use them what does the u.n. police use and if not live rounds when they are trying to exercising tactics in crowd control what sort of i mean if they use. our police officers have to gas they also have the shields they have the batons and they have the tactics to. address. the demonstrations including when they're very violent it is important to

note that these the sions were very violent despite that we. made sure that we exercise the utmost restraint both in terms of our. reaction to the large crowd that was very very violent and that kept coming towards our base for hours at the same time as i mentioned we continued our dialogue with the population with their civil sector visitors and with the national and provincial government with the national provisional government or on board with us the governor was here in attendance to come the protesters and it was important to mention is that we're very confident but we are actually increasing all communication with an eye a great deal of work is being done in terms of fighting there aren't a group 88 democratic forces we are increasing our

patrols we're increasing our activities ok let me sorry let me let me interrupt you there because of course you go into the heart of the matter it seems that the people have benioff your yes at the increasing number of attacks being carried out by militia groups like the a.t.f. and they are claiming that the united nations is failing to protect them that goes to the heart of the matter. of course any massacre is one massacre too many and this region has seen years of massacres we are working very hard on ourselves as the force intervention brigade and as we go to address and to. patrol the area and to combat these rural route at the same turn we are working very closely with our partners we have to remember that we are in congo in a support role we are here to support the congolese government and the congress

forces in stabilizing the region in fighting on groups and in ensuring peace and security but that where it meant it as mistake. of trying to do absolutely as i understand it part of your mandate also is to neutralize armed groups reduce the threat has the state authority and civilian security and that is what the people of benny are accusing you of having singularly failed. we are actually working around the clock with our troops deployed here and it is a very difficult task as you know this armed group 11 cutting forces a.t.f. uses a symmetric warfare tactics it's a guerrilla warfare in a very very dense forest we are patrolling the night we are in has in our operations offensive operations but also operations in support of the national

military the f. 30 c. and this is actually leading to a lot of the solves the problem is that the results that people do not see which are the massacres that we have prevented or the nurse that we have responded to and that led to their failure these incidents are not being recorded they're not even recognized they're not really being noticed however a great deal of work is being done and large a large number of the population in many areas are being protected the only problem is that we are operating in a very very difficult environment and now having the protesters blocking our compounds broadening our movements preventing us from going out and doing our work this will only aggravate the situation we will have now with more and more attacks the a.d.f. will have more and more freedom of movement and this group is a group that operates in small numbers and they go during the night and they can be built with machetes we don't even get and nurtured because they use such horrible

method of killing opposition abood thank you very much indeed for talking to us here at al-jazeera. now aftershocks of jolted albania following a powerful earthquake that killed at least 6 people the 6.4 magnitude quake struck north of the capital tehran a 70 deca has more. the earth shook while most people were fast asleep not going to go home believe me i felt it in my bedroom went to my kid's room and a door slammed on me her both my arms this is more or. the early hours of tuesday turned into a search for survivors some fatalities are being reported hospitals have been treating hundreds of injuries the $6.00 magnitude quake with its epicenter 34 kilometers northwest of the capital tirana caused a few buildings to collapse it's a 2nd earthquake to strike albania in the last few months the last one in september

measured $5.00 and damaged hundreds of homes stephanie decker al-jazeera. well i've been speaking to mete his a journalist in albania and he says the emergency crews were more prepared compared to when there was a recent earthquake which was in september. the demigods quite extensive across central bay now a major emergency crews are still digging with their hands with heavy equipment in the village of mana close to the epicenter where 2 building collapsed also in the portal town of portal city of doors there is another collapsed building and they're still looking for survivors there now wasn't that long ago and we'll say that albania had another earthquake small in this one it was in september and it that suggests therefore that there is a level of preparedness amongst the authorities would you agree exactly i mean the

reaction of the emergency crews that we saw in the capital today but also in the coastal town of tourists was much harder much more preparedness compared to the earthquake in september so this may help in a sense aides to the rescue considering that this earthquake is more significant than the one is to temper and what sort of happened what happens to communities when there is a an earthquake like this and obviously this one is more powerful than the last one in september but what what the communities do do they gather together do they need the advice and stay out of buildings where do they go well the 1st response hispanic and then everybody came out of the buildings their cup it took her on where i sit and people stayed outside spending the night. let's say the early morning or late nights because the quake he gets 5 o'clock in inbar so they could escape the aftershocks and but also come together and relieve a little bit the stress there is been response by the authorities there's been

calls 'd to stay outside the schools have been closed and the results of messages of so there to solidarity been sent out by late people but also by the heads of state. now police in the georgian capital tbilisi have folse protesters to move away from the entrances to palm and people have been trying to block politicians from getting inside and building the building and holding a parliamentary session they have been demonstrating for weeks now demanding an overhaul of the electoral system which they say favors the ruling georgian dream party they're also calling for an early election get the very latest let's go live to robin for he's in tbilisi outside the georgian parliament and say the protest is and have been cleared away by the security forces. they were cleared away this morning in the early hours before told around 5 or 6 am

. they didn't put up too much resistance although 3 people were injured and number of people over a dozen people taken into custody right now there's a crowd over to my right in front of the parliament still there with their placards the same bodes a collection of civil society groups and different opposition parties and they plan to keep up their protest to keep reminding the governing party that they reneged on their promise of electoral reform i should add that m.p.'s have been able to enter the building governing party and these they have held a session this morning and the speaker of parliament said that it was time to get on with business and that things should not be allowed to disturb our work that people are expecting us to get on with our jobs but there is also concern constellation amongst these who are in those who resigns from government after that

there the rain has been fairly widespread across much of indonesia the last a few days the last few weeks but it has really been pushing very far south as seen one to 2 scattered showers across into the west of java but a name more than that radius had off into wednesday but a break across the more persistent rain across into borneo but still very widespread through some archer and across into the may and then by thursday some a story has still a very really wet couple of days ahead and we might just see a shower into jakarta and by then as well on thursday well widespread rain across borneo and scattering of showers across much of the philippines might just see want to shout out over the next couple of days in brisbane we could pick up a thunderstorm but again it is a mostly dry picture as we go through wednesday and thursday temperatures not a bad they've come down to the mid twenty's that is still very warm out into western australia 36 celsius in perth on wednesday and by thursday coming down a couple of degrees and a bit of cloud in the mix maybe a shower to the east of there but really nothing more than that but as i say we

could just see a scout a thunderstorm in brisbane maybe on thursday and then across into new zealand a good couple of days ahead sunny warm couple of days 25 in christchurch on wednesday 22 in oakland and actually warming up in christchurch as we head to thursday. the brazilian journalist investigating a politically struction land grab all the farmers helped get elected and he's reprieve them that's empowering everyday people to profit from the destruction of the rain forest people are almost willing to give their life away and guarantee the occupation knowledge of the land is journalism the last hope in the fight for sleep the amazon says not only a land conflict but a conflict of narrative brazil the age of boston are all whose truth is it anyway on al-jazeera.

without is there and it's time for us to take a look at the top stories hundreds of people are marching towards an airfield in eastern democratic republic of congo where u.n. peacekeepers a base 4 people including a soldier were killed on monday in benning as protesters stormed the u.n. compound the people are angry at persistent attacks by armed rebels. a powerful earthquake has hit albania killing at least 6 people the $6.00 magnitude quake struck just north of the capital to run the several buildings collapse burying victims in the rubble police in the georgian capital tbilisi have forced protesters to move away from the entrances to parliament demonstrations had been trying to stop politicians from entering the building to hold

a session. now flooding and landslides in northwestern kenya are causing havoc for tens of thousands of people so far at least 52 people have been killed relief efforts that have been rather slow to get to people because the flooding has cut off roads and bridges scientists and blaming unusually high temperatures in the indian ocean. they're heavy rains seen in the entire east african region and unfortunately move rain is forecast we go live now to mohammed who is at a camp where many of those people who've lost their homes have now gathered and mohammed it's great to finally get to talk to you because we know that your trip to to get to west pocket which is the area most. significantly hit by this disaster is really it's really been tricky for you to get there tell us what you found now you've arrived. i'm afraid we

haven't got we haven't established comes completely with mohammed a day but we'll try to get back to him as soon as we can in the meantime the u.s. state department has announced that several senior u.s. officials have met the libyan warlord hulley for half the it says they discussed steps to find a political solution to the conflict have to his army launched an offensive in april to take tripoli from the internationally recognized government let's go live now to our correspondent who's there in the libyan capital mark would up to one head what more do we know then about this meeting between the state department and after. well. this meeting is according to many analysts. resulting in a very strong statement calling on the warlord who you have to to stop hostilities

and return to the peaceful negotiations to end the libyan crisis remember in back in april the state might prompt you call don't have to. retreat and to stop the military escalation in southern tripoli and since then this is the 1st american statement to. to address a stronger statement to have to stop the military hostilities and return to the peaceful negotiations but the question now is whether or not this meeting is going to contribute to end the conflict in southern tripoli unless the united states will address the countries involved in fueling the conflict in libya like russia the united arab emirates and egypt now as you know martin that this meeting is a follow up to the meeting between the u.s.

officials and the. ministry of foreign affairs at the end of the government of national accord in tripoli and also the interior minister for other in washington in 14th of this month but it seems that the united states is getting involved in indeed the current conflict in southern tripoli but the question now is whether or not these mediations are going to address the countries involved in fueling the conflict in libya mark. thank you very much indeed but again we're going to go back to west pocket district in the northeastern. kenya where our correspondent mohammed there is a mohammed i'm hoping you can hear me now because i was saying earlier that it's taken you quite some says stanch 11th to get to this area what have you discovered now you've managed to find these people who've survived these landslides and

flooding. well martin this is a very hard to reach area we are right now in your quarterly and which is in what's called one of the was hit areas and when the nucleon primary school where about 7 plows them people affected by the floods and landslides not have hit this area have sought shelter they have nothing these people have lost almost all their belongings apart from also losing some of their loved ones they say they have no blankets tents many of them have spent out the night in the cold the classrooms are not enough for the throngs of people who are here and who are being advised by the government to stay there because there is continued rainfall here they have been receiving very little help because of the destroyed bridges and parts of the road being swept away by the floods we as we walk come in here fly over sections of the

roll that have been destroyed with so moving machines trying to repair and workers trying to repair the roads and bridges but it is a painstaking process that is being slowed even further by the continued rainfall and the. law of love walters that we so still. flowing in many parts of this area so these people are asking the government for the how to help the can only be brought here by helicopters. and presumably they knew this yourself at the difficulty that it's taken a year to reach west and that's the same journey that the release applies is going to have to make in order to get to these they thought he sounded say they were in desperate need. i'm afraid here we have lost

communications again with mohammed i think we really got a sense of the plight of the more than 100000 people in that particular district of north eastern kenya now let's go to venice because there's been another round of severe flooding there as heavy rains have affected the area the city's flooded several times within the last month heavy rains of calls record high tides on sunday said mark's square was closed briefly as the tide level reached a peak of 130 centimeters let's go live to go she's our correspondent mark square that's the heart of this of course i knew what the situation now with the floodwaters. well we are at the peak of one of what they call the high water the high tides that floods the city center here and right in some marks square you get a sense of exactly how high it is now although it's certainly not as high as it has

been. even up to about 2 weeks ago where you had the peak of the flooding that the 2nd worst in recorded history there is still this continual of the main square here that's not stopping obviously tourists visitors people getting about their work it's all part however what you cannot see is the damage that is being done by this continual flooding of this area because what it does is this water is salty water from the lagoon which of venice is located that salty water is extremely damaging to these buildings which of course of important cultural heritage corrodes the buildings and results in millions of dollars of damages and in fact the mayor of venice louis was already said that the die. are made from this

latest round of flooding has mounted up to more than a $1000000000.00 already and that's what we know now full extent of the damage will be known in the months to come or even years to come and for as long as i can remember this is been a problem that has regularly affected venice but it does see as the extent and the depth of the flooding is getting worse and worse. well there are certainly fact play here which local residents have said have contributed and the number one complaint really has been the amount of cruise ships that have been coming towards the city which they say and other activist groups have said of course immense damage. causing damage to the floor of the lagoon thereby eroding the bad and causing more flooding to happen as well now while

cruise ships pay this extra tax. and some companies have made the ship smaller to avoid that it still hasn't dealt with a problem ace and the residents still say that they are very much part of the problem which causes this continual flooding and not the issue at stake here is the underwater barriers that were supposed to be completed in 2012 the so-called moses barrier now was originally planned back in the late eighty's but this is a project that even though was supposed to be completed in 2011 it's been a party that's been reminding corruption and bribes in which $35.00 people have already been arrested for bribes and all the corrupt practices that have engaged this the mayor said that this should be completed in 2022 residents say that she dredging of this and putting that in place is in fact causing even more damage and so they are against this project in general martine all right sonia thank you for

that. live from square in the center of this. now flooding and climate change is top of some voters' concerns in britain where the general election is less than 3 weeks away instead of breck's it in the economy they're worried about being flooded again jonah reports from. the flooding that hit doncaster in the north of england this november inundated homes and farmland affecting hundreds of people it should have been a once in a generation event no longer. for 2 years before let's go to paris as an insult and then 12 years later as to how the south has some of the listener on this environment. what sets these floods apart from the last time it happened in 2007 is that there's an election looming party leaders visited the area pledging billions for flood defenses boris johnson was criticised for his conservative government

slow response and the green party says labor's priorities are misplaced we have a. and the labor council are. worried about jobs and they're thinking about economic growth and they're thinking about expansion because jobs are thinking about. greenland because it brings jobs they need to completely change that way of thinking and think about green jobs jobs going to benefit the community insulating houses putting in green infrastructure that kind of thing. environmental activists talk about the planet elections because the next government will be in charge of climate policy behalf of the coming decade within which the un says the world must act if it's to avoid the worst effects of climate change there are signs of progress in may m.p.'s declared a climate and environment emergency in response to protests by the activist group

extinction rebellion and the swedish teenager gretta tom burke legislation now also commits. the u.k. government to achieve net 0 carbon emissions by 2050 it's great that we're with now got this no 0 target in law when there's a question of whether it could be met sooner but the real danger is is that we're not meeting the targets we've currently got so if a next year in 2020 we're not due to me that at this stage and what we really need to see now the policy is put in place to meet those targets and as you say 5 years of the next 10 years are going to be crucial so whoever wins this has got to be at the front of their edge and opinion polls suggest more than 50 percent of voters are likely to be influenced by environmental policies the issue of climate change ranks higher than the economy for a majority of voters what if it was the correct plan which a lot of people think yes i think they would yes that might influence your vote yes yes. and that's the other big difference between 20072019 climate

change matters al-jazeera doncaster. so people bemoaning the heavy rain in england but in some parts of the world they're celebrating like in southeastern australia where heavy rain is funny a arrived fire crews are so happy about it. do not be locals there are. 3 weeks of wildfires in new south wales have destroyed hundreds of homes and more rain is expected to drench the region. i. write these are the top stories here at al-jazeera hundreds of people are currently marching towards an airport in eastern democratic republic of congo where un peacekeepers abased 4 people including a soldier were killed on monday embed the as protests a saudi u.n. compound there's growing anger against the u.n.
