including communication with foreign sides on a so-called 0 hour to trigger measures aimed at undermining our stability and for more on this will say to her that they have need to joining us here in doha did we learn anything new from that press conference about the situation in jordan and the developments over the past 24 hours when we did learn that the. police according to the authorities there was certainly a coup that was happening that according to the deputy prime minister whereas nipped in the bud then what triggered really that wave of arrests on saturday was the fact that the intercepted calls between bassem awadallah who is a former minister of finance and also a far former top aide in the royal court talking about 0 hour at that point according to the deputy prime minister did chief of staff would have spoken to king abdullah and king abdullah gave the green light for doe's arrest to happen we also

learned that it's not only to talk to people who had been arrested best and a member of the royal family sharif hasn't been sad but also between 14 to 16 other people what we don't know is what's happened to prince hamza he said he was under house arrest the chief of staff had issued a statement earlier today that he was not under house arrest and the deputy prime minister said that they were efforts to sort of the situation in that i'm a couple way and i'm quoting him here not to blemish the royal family but he said that also in the end this security and stability of jordan was the priority what we don't know is what was that plot about was it to overthrow decaying or not or whether they were members of the security forces involved. in this alleged plot or

not it would be very difficult to carry a coup without the backing at least some part of the military or other security. services and what we also don't know is whether what will happen next and what charges will be levied against those people who had been arrested and where the prince hamza himself will be put in front of the justice or not so certainly some answers but also many questions remaining what we did hear is that also apparently the close circle around pretty much was in contact with foreign parties were there these foreign parties are just individuals whether they were talking about a foreign state to a foreign government we don't have that answer they're pretty far deputy foreign minister saying that it was too early to reveal or what the investigation has shown

so far but it will happen at a future time with a transparent 2 way he did talk about jordanian opposition abroad one of the reporters attending that press conference said what is this up but jordanian opposition abroad we've never heard of that before he didn't want to answer that so basically the main line being there was a blood that we have foiled it was it was nipped in the bud but the government had to act sooner rather than later ok her death thank you so much for that wrap up thank you heavy rains have triggered flash floods and landslides in indonesia's east florists region at least 41 have been killed and thousands more are now displaced dozens of homes are greeted by mud and debris in the mentally village and several homes were swept away by the floodwaters just a washington has this update from jakarta. it is a very difficult situation for these aid workers for search and rescue workers as well within the east flora's district trying to access the small island which has

been hardest hit by this flash flooding and landslides we understand that at least 7 villages on the small island of are impacted so far confirmation that at least 41 people have died but authorities say that the numbers of fluid in the situation is constantly changing as they are trying to get updates on the ground power constant issues with communications lines it is difficult for them to bring us up to date with the latest information we also understand authorities are having difficulty trying to bring in the heavy machinery that they require to try and access some of these remote villages because of the remoteness of the location but also the scale and the extent of this flash flooding we know at least 5 bridges have collapsed and a number of major roads are blocked that is hampering access as authorities say they are trying to bring food other essential including coded tests and masks to these affected areas we have also heard from weather the weather bureau here in it

in asia which has warned of further extreme weather which could hamper the situation hundreds of demonstrators have been holding on to government process and thailand's capital there is a mounting the resignation of the government's in the immediate release of pro-democracy protesters on saturday polies declared a planned rally at the bank. would be illegal tony chang has more from bankroll. yes. there is. the numbers that we were seeing 6 months ago on the same street. ringback tens of thousands of people is a difference in the crowd coming to hear the faces a much older 6 months ago we were getting a very young crowd. meaning. to be coming out yes coming out of the really these are protest leaders have been hit hard with all sorts of legal challenges by that you know. things.

like disturbing the way to serious charge of losing much stuff. which can carry. years. that the different prerogatives. they've been fighting with each other that i. think will show the general public. is very lucid very little still. don't lose if they didn't quite the same way to come out and show that. there have been more protests and me and maher despite weeks of increased use of violence by the military in mandalay one group gathered at dawn on motorbikes calling for a return to democracy more than 550 people have been killed since the military seized power on february the 1st in yangon demonstrators carried painted eggs with anti military slogans a symbol of defiance and opposition to the co one group marched through

period about 15000 people have been killed so that to give you an idea of of the scale of what we are dealing with so i think the indian state would have to go back to the drawing board to see what could be done better because we are talking about you. picked up a task i would broadly this crisis as a challenge of governance on the need for both the center in delhi and the local government. to really get back to the drawing board and come up with a different strategy that will be a mix up plus you ation and also firmness and that is card. still ahead on al-jazeera. i'm mad at the system so if we can get this done and come to you know come to a good courage and the see if we can't fix a system george for it's uncle speaks to al jazeera about his feelings of loss and hope for justice in the u.s. climate on my cause from cooperation to tackle global warming as climate talks kick

off in a new way in. the . rain is leaving japan behind it the air is quiet and still which usually means poor quality for places like beijing but much of northern china recently there's been a bit of a change and things are better but i think they might deteriorate once again the sun should replace that cold breeze in the north coming from the north of japan so you've got 19 degrees in turkey the light breeze is fine over most extreme pleasure if not all and again most of northern chiles or the band of rain developing in the southwest that actually extends from in montana where right heavy rain seems be the thing at the moment and surprising that zaps ways goes away down towards northern borneo that's the active one we have a in the timor sea

a potential tropical cyclamen i think will just be a tropical low that's taking much of the energy away from big showers in indonesia well as a reminder what's happening in myanmar beyond that we don't think much about showers are a few entrepreneurship there's a westerly disturbance or northern pakistan and india that'll have the usual effect in somewhere like delhi where the wind will pick up in the breeze and thunderstorms so temporarily across the ring treasonous truth further south in the north and indian play otherwise it's a picture of well have a guess is pretty monsoon is getting warmer and it's getting more humid. when freedom of the press is under threat demonstrators and journalists are dealing with internet outages police intimidation and charges of said dishes on the state line becomes the default in media namely images that he did not attempt in these days and just how day and create

a new science makes it hard for people to know what's real and what's not step outside the mainstream to shift the focus covering the way the news discovered the listening posts on a. the. pentagon the top stories on al jazeera jordan's former crown prince has been accused of involvement in a plot to destabilize the country with foreign assistance the deputy prime minister said more than 14 people have been detained the former crown prince comes us says he's under house arrest. heavy rains have triggered flash floods and landslides in indonesia as east florists region at least 41 people have been killed and thousands

said let's choose a new captain but everyone's looking for a life but the political scene is so weak i'm limited that there's no large group of voters who perceives any of the candidates as a good option. the last presidential term was rocked by political instability with 3 presidents unseated during that period congress dissolved a congressional coupe and violent protests and the interim leader was finally sworn in last november. after 5 years of political upheaval the impact of the pandemic has pushed deeper into political and economic ails and many believe the elections will not guarantee political stability. with 18 candidates and 20 political parties competing the next congress will likely be fragmented. for. the elections will be useless. nothing is solved the only vaccines i'm frustrated not knowing when this crisis will stop there are no jobs it's sad so many people we love are dying and we

have no support it's very sad. with a vote so divided there will be a ballot and that could be that the next president could be a lame duck from day one innocent just antecedent to. the head of the roman catholic church has led the easter mass of the vatican in a scaled back service to 2 coronavirus restrictions pope francis offered his blessings to the world earlier here urged his followers not to lose hope during the pandemic easter mass is usually held in st peter's basilica in front of tens of thousands of pilgrims in indonesia christians held their easter sunday services amid heavy security after last week's suicide bombing at a cathedral which 19 people indonesia has been on ad since the 2 attackers blew themselves up on so the west the island's armed police were seen in jakarta as main cathedral church goers went through security checks. millions of

many are calling the us trial of the century emotional and damning witness accounts have marked the 1st week of the trial george floyd's family is following it closely and one of his uncles who lives in south dakota has traveled to the city to attend it in an exclusive interview. spoke to him. the 1st week of the trial saw some emotional testimony that was hard to listen to particularly for some of george floyd's family members who are here like selwyn jones his uncle who i had a chance to speak to and this is a little bit of what he had to say what is it like to be here in that courtroom. this is all a lot i've had tree. you say somebody that you've loved and cherished 4546 years and one day he's gone because they're just power and control

this is this is what. justice for florida. we got to have justice for forward we got to have justice for all is it hard to relive floyd's death through this trial this week i have been. sad it's just like somebody sticks to handing your chest and rip your heart out because you see a good dude human everybody has mistakes but you see a good dude if you seen the video before he was in a store that's us laugh and dance and a you don't say him and to know that he got killed murdered for $19.10 pennies you know so i'm not mad at any individual person now i'm mad at the system so if we can get this done and come to an you know come to a good conclusion to see if we can't fix the system because we have an opportunity

for the 1st time ever to fix a system because of the death of my nephew the drug use how to as a as his uncle. how does that make you feel when that comes in by the defense bringing up drug use a. is something that we live with you know there's people with does people with so many addictions in this world it is something that my man was fighting you know what i'm saying. you should not be issued a death sentence because you're how. simple there's been plenty of people in this world has been high before and they didn't get murdered in the mill the street like the dogs so you know they're trying to assassinate just can't turn. but it's a proven fact you know he had issues he had a you know he had demons but his demons did not. put him

in a situation to be killed because he wasn't fighting he wasn't arguing he wasn't doing any of the things that you would. coincide with been murdered do you feel confident that you'll get a guilty verdict now after one week not putting the cart before the cart i'm not putting the cart before the horse will say i come saying i'm waiting because. i've been living longer have now we're nothing surprises me so. i'm going out wait and hope that things come out the way it is supposed to jones is one of several of floyd's family members that are here they say they'll stay for as long as the trial takes which could be up to another 3 weeks. the u.s. envoy for climate john kerry says he hopes to work with china to tackle climate change carries and be for talks on what's happening in the middle east and north

africa the meeting comes ahead of the u.n. climate summit in scotland in november where leaders are expected to build on the 2015 paris a core. but what we want to do is be helpful not here to tell anybody what to do we're here to try to talk through a problem we all share and find a common way to address that recognizing that countries just can't shut down any more than we did in coded you can't shut down you've got to continue to try to provide a revenue base keep your people employed have stability so you've got to transition in a way that makes sense the un has warned that time is running out to slow climate change saying the upcoming summit in glasgow could be our last chance to take action the conference wants to mobilize support for countries that are most vulnerable to the effects of climate change governments are also expected to commit to stronger emission cuts in the 2015 pairs agreement nations agreed to limit global warming by

up to 2 degrees celsius above pre-industrial levels those efforts have largely stalled because of the coronavirus pandemic mission chaffee is the executive director of the arab youth climate movement in qatar he says youth groups keep governments in check and try to ensure they live up to their commitments under the paris climate agreements. i think that is a great way to have momentum having the whole of the gulf and middle east countries and the right way how. is looking after the coming cotton effects to have all the countries in the mena regions come up with that and hand made a commitment and it will be a crucial part and they want to see what are the commitment each country will be making in terms of emission and also like how john kerry was mentioning we just don't have to shut down but how to mobilize and get more support and more jobs created and to how the transition towards non radio mother resources can be

capitalized and bringing more green baize jobs in the middle east to be a dog an addition here closely work with the community and also with the government to see how their commitments are in line with the paris agreement the most of the time what we do is to build up a community based initiative that not only provide understanding of what is happening and also the same time working with the government with some of the initiatives that help them to build a capacity and also build a partnership that is very much necessary in terms of moving towards and keeping up their promises as their palates agreement signatory countries. the ilo again the headlines on al-jazeera jordan farmar conferences and accuse the fin valvo.
