korea raising quite a precarious position it doesn't have the kind of infrastructure that south korea and japan has to deal with these extreme weather events but interestingly the north koreans have taken a pummel proactive approach they've been suffering from these storms with formal reporting almost in real time on state run television which is quite unusual for north korea we've also seen kim jong un the leader being outgoing seeing the places that have been impacted i think want to go much to show that he is a leader who cares about his people he knows that the kinds of things they're going through because of course they face all of these problems which are exacerbated by these storms such as the covert the isolation for because of covert 19 and also the ongoing sanctions so. we do know that he north koreans are very concerned about this bracing for a time when you know that from their reporting that their main city in the east of one sun is once again underwater it has been flooded so more damage to come this

12:16 pm
deaths and nearly 300 growing of refugees have been rescued from a beach in indonesia after drifting at sea for 6 months they were bound for malaysia but were pushed back as orders tightened because of the pandemic. now the new stage of julian assange legal battle to avoid being sent to the u.s. is resuming in london these are live pictures from london where his. orders have gathered outside the central criminal courts for the extradition hearing that's expected to last 3 to 4 weeks the wiki leaks founder faces 18 charges in the u.s. for publishing secret government documents that reveal the evidence of war crimes and human rights abuses in iraq and afghanistan he could be jailed 475 years say found guilty in the u.s. let's go live to laurin sydney in london who's outside the court for a set of us on just supporters we can see on the live pictures no instant case resuming today have the arguments changed at all.
12:17 pm
whether one sentence no it's simply the resumption of the case that had to be suspended in may because of the kind of it's a break at that point it was being held in a high security jail in the touch pools right on the edge of london where in the sun she has been held for really a very long time where is health mental and physical health deteriorates and traumatically is now being moved as you say to the most that the biggest criminal court right in the middle of london what we believe is sound she's transferred in a prison down this morning but the arguments are essentially the same certainly from his supporters they say it's a show trial be raises enormous questions about both the rule of law the relationship between the u.k. and the united states and also about the future of journalism as well very high profile journalists like. the filmmaker have been giving speeches here saying if
12:18 pm
a son should be successfully extradited then it really becomes impossible in the future for investigative journalists to try to uncover unpleasant truths of the sort that wiki leaks did and people for example since is a cover story making a comparison for example supposing somebody came up with a whole trove of secret chinese documents that team. sile things like torture of the weakness and publish them the chinese might say we want that china's extradited but of course the u.k. would never allow that because they would say it's a very important public interest to the human rights issue whereas. in the song she was nominated for the nobel peace prize they say to the public a huge service by publishing evidence of war crimes and the like in iraq is not being criminalized for us so they say these are hugely important issues and that
12:19 pm
the case should be summarily dismissed but of course the u.s. continues to insist that he's guilty of spying and should be extradited. and songes defense says it has one new reason to get the case dismissed going to. yes they have evidence that they say the cia has been secretly monitoring illegally conversations between a son and his legal team and they say that in itself to be enough for the case to be dismissed i think it probably won't happen but even if it does run the full 3 or 4 weeks that it's left to. assad loses then the case will still go to appeal and so it's not going to end any time soon. thank you very much for that norrin storen stream live there in london with the latest on that hearing visiting to decide if wiki leaks founder julian assange should be extradited to the united states
12:20 pm
a number of his supporters have gathered outside the court there in london as the hearing resumes will keep following the story for you of course on al-jazeera and bring bring you the very latest now an inquiry into the 27000 bombing in the british city of manchester will begin in the coming hours after months of delays because of the corona virus pandemic $22.00 people were killed when an attacker detonated his explosives at a concert by singer ariana grande a inquiry will examine possible security failings in the lead up to the attack family members of victims and survivors were also make statements last month the bomber's brother was jailed for life for his role in planning the attack paul brennan has more from outside the court in manchester. have been a number of inquiries into the circumstances of that manchester bomb attack this particular inquiry follows on from is essentially an inquest and on that basis it concentrates more on to the circumstances of the deaths of those 22 victims for that reason we have
12:21 pm
a lot of relatives who are attending both here at the magistrate's court which is the venue for the inquiry and come from central a couple 100 metres away where there's a video link to the court but the main questions that the inquiry is going to answer will overlap with some of those. inquiries it will look at the emergency response going to see services response night it will also look at whether the security services could have done more and security services have come in for criticism as to whether or not they should have acted upon the intelligence they already had on the bomb someone i dated he had returned from libya for example just 4 days before the bomb attack he was flagged as a space object of interest but the diary entry for actually reassessing that status and deciding whether to act on it wasn't direst until after the bomb had gone off after he'd blown up his device killed himself and those other 22 people. the. transparency of this hearing is in question as i say it's an inquest essentially
12:22 pm
look into the circumstances of the deaths but because an inquest has to be held in open court that would mean that the m i 5 and security services couldn't give evidence so the inquiry chairman says john saunders has changed it into a new independent public inquiry meaning that security services can give evidence in closed session with the relatives not there and so the relatives who are hoping for answers are a little worried that not all the answers they want will be forthcoming. a story changes underway in montenegro after pro se b.n. pro russian parties take a victory in parliament elections last week but supporters of the current nato friendly government are worried about the change in power as and russia have reports. after 30 years of being ruled by a single party once and he grins are at a crossroads for the 1st time since a multi-party system was introduced in 1900 the democratic party of socialists will be forming the next government and many are worried that lots of us
12:23 pm

12:24 pm
other except for the montenegran flag. d.p.'s is pro western and pro nato and saddled with corruption charges and accusations of becoming increasingly authoritarian the pro serb pro russian parties that ran under the banner of the future months negro are likely to change course away from the west and towards moscow and belgrade bureau in the premier's 3 of the djukanovic accuse serbia's president aleksander few chip shot in the serbian orthodox church of interfering in the election and in an attempt to revive greater serbian nationalism. the real fallout from the election is yet to be seen at the minorities that depend on montenegro stability and ethnic harmony want to make sure they'll be protected by any change in power and from any repeat of the past and or should i desire. maybe his rival sides have met in morocco 2 weeks after they announce a cease fire delegations from japanese un recognized government in the east and
