play an important role protecting human client. ah, ah, ah . this is al jazeera. ah. hello, i'm sammy. hey dan, this is the news our live from coming off in the next 60 minutes. america's top diplomat flies to jordan after a visit to egypt at the rallies, support for the thees firing, gaza a verdict with far reaching consequences. a colt in the netherlands holds royal god

shall legally responsible for climate change. the un security council discusses the political future of barrier or presidential election is set to consolidate the president power. it's completely crockett's that someone like me should have been in edge the same as it's quite as the 1st thompson was in that choice to the last election was very bad decisions. and that chaotic respond a former top advisors, the u. k. 5 mystic uses a government failing to handle cove it on how much not have all the sport, including the latest from tokyo olympics as a growing pressure to cancel. the event now includes an official partner of the game for that later and the new south. ah,

we begin this news out with the mark his latest diplomatic efforts to samantha seize 5 between israel of hamas in garza, us secretary of state anthony blinkin is in jordan to bolster regional support for the front job truth. it ended 11 days of conflict with earlier. he met in egypt with the president of the c. c, as well as others. lincoln said the 2 countries working together to let israelis and palestinians live in safety and secure 30. meanwhile, in garza, the leader of the masses criticized america's reconstruction plans sang dames at increasing the divide between palestinian factions. lincoln pledged millions of dollars of a to gaza, but insisted hamas should not benefit from it. and then occupied east jerusalem. 6 small palestinian families in ceylon or on the threat of losing their homes and israeli court was expected to review and appeal against their full expulsions. but the hearing has been postponed following more protests. remember

a similar case in check. john off nearby sparked the recent escalation between palestinians and israel protests and now happening there too. well, in a moment we'll talk to you the said live for us in gaza. diplomatic as a james base has been following secretary blinking tool from west jerusalem. but 1st, here's what i've the how made reporting from occupied east jerusalem on the court proceedings. the court has a journal, as a lawyer said, well, the court has decided not to take any decision at stake. here was an appeal made by several families who had received a ruling forcing them to leave their home. they had been living in this 967 in the neighborhood where the defense lawyer tried to do is basically off the court to get the attorney general of israel's involved. in this case, that would be a very similar pattern that what happened with the staff ra issued the reasoning

behind that is that the, the defense lawyer says of that same attorney general had ruled against palestinian family borrowing gland in shift. so he, they want to know, put him on the spot and see if he would do the same thing when it comes to illegal jewish settlement in occupied east jerusalem has talked now to diplomatic ad james bay's in west jerusalem. on $63.00, ben can visit to jordan, and egypt and james jordan, of course, has influence. and some of those issues proved very sensitive lately in east jerusalem. once lincoln's message, then about that too, john? well obviously, jordan is a very important player and right now on the other side of the jordan river, it should be about now. the greek lincoln is with king abdullah discussing the situation. clearly discussing the si se fall in garza trying to make sure that sees

fall holds but for jordan, particularly. also, this is a situation in the west bank and in jerusalem. because remember that jordan has a role hash mike monarchy as the custodian over the religious sites. in jerusalem, so that's a particular concern for jordan. for jordan, i mean they have, i think over the years of the trumpet ministration, those 4 years become privately very concerned about the situation. they didn't light the cushion plan. jared cushion of donald trump's son in law's plan for the region. they run nerved by the fact that he was moving away from the traditional status quo. i think they will be encouraged by the fact that century blinking it operates a more traditional type of diplomacy. as does the biden administration as a whole bought secretary, blinking for now is only focusing on the seas fall and keeping the calm. he's not

going further. and i'm sure jordan would like him to go further to restart negotiations towards a 2 state solution. and james, early of the secular state, went to egypt, of course, was not a sign of initially cool relations improving. yeah, i mean it's the opposite to jordan with regard to the trump peers because president trump presidency got on very well. but since the beginning of the biden administration, since integration, july 20th, we really have very frosty relations between the 2 countries. and president biden didn't even ring president cc until less than a week ago. just for, for the see, for the chip shins will be hoping that that was the moment of change that they can leverage that moment and get a much better relationship with the u. s. with regard to the issues of israelis and palestinians, but also wider issues. having said that, i am sure, and we haven't been given a full detailed read out of what happened in that meeting,

but i'm sure the secretary blend. lincoln brought out some other concerns that egypt pat was willing to liked the tension with regard to the nile tension between egypt and easier peer and so down for that matter. the tensions with regard to egypt involvement in its neighbor, libya and probably the most difficult subjects of all for president c. c. it's likely, i think the secretary blinking brought up the human rights record of egypt, which most human rights organizations say is quite appalling. all right, james is going to thank you for that. let's continue our discussion on the situation and head over now to your next phase is life for us in gaza, where the head of mass has been speaking. you know, what's the message? well 1st of all, tomorrow in his pressure today you try to affirm that not, not, not the sun bray gates, neither old, the policy in faction need any of the money for the reconstruction,

for the gaza strip. and this is basically the most important fact for the donors that this money would not go to mass or to the resistance faction. and it would be spent in the reconstruction. but again, he said that how much is not, and this is, this is a message, but how about set since the end of the war? that it's not going to be blackmailed by the reconstruction money. it's not going to allow that. the reconstruction process is going to be through the p a or the fall of teen authority. and that itself is going to further the division even more because already considering the tension that have happened between the 2 parties, mass and bus and the have slowing down the reconciliation because also. 5 the pointing of president had that for the election, this is all coast tension and that's why how much will not allow that the

reconstruction money is going to be through the policy authority hearing the got the strip, but at the same time said that it is going to it's going to ease each process that it's possible for this reconstruction money to enter the gaza strip and reconstruct it as fast as possible. so basically, how much does not mind if egypt is the one who's going to supervise the reconstruction process? here it the got the strip or even cuts or mediators, but it should not be the policy authority and sending a clear message that yes, we want because the strip could be reconstructed very quickly. considering the amount of destruction that has happened, an amount of displaced families, which is enormous after this war. and we, we're not going to, we're not going to put our hands on. that's money. if that is the basic problem for america. but we're not going to do it through the policy, sorry, t. all right,

so on the political discourse chat, it's a lot about construction. judging by the picture behind you, you know, the story on the ground is still one of continuing displacement for families as the infrastructure continues to crumble off of those risks israeli strikes. this is true. i mean, where i'm standing is another residential building in this war. as the people are of god to describe it is that the israeli air strikes started from where the last war ended. the last war in 2014 ended by the targeting of residential buildings and this floor try to buy the targeting of residential buildings. and that's why that's why the amount of destruction in because the strip is massive and, and this has caused i, as i said, like thousands and thousands of families. we're talking about a huge number of families over 70000 families are now displaced and, and because,

and even those buildings that have not been directly targeted have been partly targeted. are now having problems like bent buildings. and so one and they are called for their residents to be evacuated. so the amount of destruction is huge. the amount of people being displaced is even more huge. and the reconstruction has not yet started. there is no funding, there's no even process that has been even put on the ground to be implemented. which means that as, as long as this process has not yet implemented and not yet put on the ground and not yet implemented, these people are going to displace this destruction is going to be the title of the story of because this trip. all right, thanks. so much you said there islands, government has supported

a parliament re motion criticizing while it's being described as israel's the thank how an explanation of palestinian land. if past the government can impose sanctions against israel and expel the israeli ambassador of those on the draft is expected later 20 more had all the news out including will tell you why iran president possible honey is speaking out against the country supreme leader, president of ruth explains why is government divert the european slide to arrest the journalist? i didn't pull to statement when one of the favorites to the n b, a championship basketball action coming off i dont' court has ordered oil giant shall to cut his compet emissions by 45 percent.

by 2030 greenpeace. and friends of the earth brought the case is being hailed as a major victory for environmentalists shell, unsuccessfully argued the governments and not companies are responsible for meeting targets under the paris climate deal. the company says it will appeal the ruling. verdict could have major implications for similar cases around the world. so the varsity is live for us in the hague. so step talking about implications. what is this ruling me now that it's kind of shifted responsibility from governments to companies when it comes to carbon emissions, right? absolutely, there was an absolute outburst of joy here at the court and the hague, people hungering each other, some even in fears. even people here work at the court said it was a very special day. it seems like something has changed. the friends of the earth called the a monumental victory for all planets and for children. because indeed it is for the

1st time that a corporation is being held responsible for climate change. and not only governments are responsible, so shall, is now ordered by the judge to cut down emissions. and that's how we 1st actually say 45 percent by 2030, which is a nearly half. and that's only complying with the power agreements. so now there is a court ruling offering a company to abide by the powers, the dream and of course, as the friends of the earth, and also all the other organizations have filed this case. and clearly, one this case say that could mean that this could have huge implications for not only oral companies worldwide bite, but any company was involved in any way of global warming. all right, thanks so much that off and the former chief advises the u. k. prime minister told the parliamentary committee, the government failed the public and it's current

a virus response. dominant coming says he and other officials acted too late. last week he accused bars, johnson government of incompetence and lying to the public about it heard immunity strategy. cummings was ousted from downing street in november and the dream is of a rift with the prime minister. there's no doubt at all that many senior people performed for, for disastrously below the standards which the country has a right to expect. i think that the secretary of state for health is certainly one of those people i said repeatedly to the prime minister that he should be fired. so to the cabinet secretary, so did many other senior people are u. k prime minister boss johnson has responded to dominant cummings accusations in parliament. the handling of this pandemic has been one of the most difficult things these countries have to do for a very long time. and none of the decisions have been easy to get into

a lockdown is a chromatic thing for a country. to deal with dependent on this scale has been appallingly difficult. and we've, at every stage, i tried to minimize loss of life to save lives. and we've followed the best scientific advice that we, that we can john hall is live for us in london. so john, how damaging is cummings testimony to the prime minister? we don't know yet. we'll have to see how much of it beds in with the public. how long it occupies the airwaves, how much the public wants to hear at this moment, scrutiny of what happened at the beginning of last year, just as they are coming out of the pandemic on a wave of optimism and the vaccine program. 7 hours of testimony now from dominant cummings, extraordinary revelation upon revelation for the man who was bar is johnson's right hand, his chief adviser until an acrimonious bust up last november. when he was fired.

some will say he's bent on a campaign of revenge. they will certainly be questions about the veracity of everything that he said. he simply says, tens of thousands of people died who didn't need to die. he believes the public should know just how bad they let down. they have been by this government in order to avoid anything like this happening again. so in the last 7 hours, this extraordinary sweep from dominic cummings in time all the way from the beginning of 2020. the government's alleged policy of heard immunity that was heading for such disaster before they were finally persuaded to change course and blocked down at the last minute without any of the systems in place to be able to deal with a lockdown the reality of events dawning on downing street, he said, like action from an action movie and the finger of blame cost far and wide. some key figures mentioned in particular health secretary,

mat hancock, the man at the helm of the health response during the pandemic. dominant coming said he should have been fired on 15 to 20 different occasions for all sorts of things. notably, lying. he said on multiple occasions, including to the public about the preparedness of the health service, standing in the way of a proper test and trade system failing to properly put to protect the elderly and care home residents who died in the thousands. and then in the last hour or so, he's fine turned on his former boss, the prime minister, boris jones, who looking particularly at the events of last autumn, going into the 2nd lockdown when he was presented with incontrovertible evidence by his medical and scientific advises that a 2 weeks circuit breaker would have broken the back of the 2nd wave. he said, no, he wasn't persuaded. he wasn't prepared to do that. coming said he put economic concerns above the health of people. he was angry that the 1st lockdown had happened. he felt bounced into that that it had been

a failure. do i blame him for everything? said cummings. yes i do. he's unfit for the job. and incidentally, finally, cummings, also a confirmed that he had heard these incendiary comments made allegedly, by bars. johnson island, the 31st of october about the possibility of a 3rd lockdown that he refused to see. he said, let the bodies pile up in their 1000 coming, said he did hear the prime minister say those words in his private study. and that's significant because johnson has denied saying anything like that in parliament dominant cummings. now the 1st on the record witness to officially contradicts him. a see how this story on wine. thanks for that, joan. how iran's president is urging its supreme leader to allow more candidates in next month presidential election for greater competition. has honey says he has written a letter to i live at home and i who has the final sale and state masses for honey

criticized a decision by the election watchdog to reject several nations. the counselors approve 7 out of $9600.00 candidates. the element, husky, jake, i wish the conditions were different and the guardian council would have allowed more kansas to be added. the nature of the election is competition. if you take this from the election, it becomes a body without life and falls down. this is the essence, there must be a tight race for reelection to happen to a high turn out an important election guaranteed to legitimacy of the establishment . and this is a fundamental thing. we've forgotten this asset base is live for us into ron. so i said, any indication of how this supreme lead, it might be willing to respond to this plea from the president? well, we don't know if or when he will respond the last time the supreme neither did intervene was back in 2005 in the favor of to reform its candidates were then allowed to stand. but then last the election. now there is considerable anger and frustration

here that can't be ignored, but not just from the moderates and reformers, but also from the conservatives and the general public. now they have been some very public criticisms of the guardian cans of this vetting body today. the grandson of the 1st supreme need of iran has done how many have come out and he has strongly criticized the disqualifications he called upon the approved candidates to stand. and i have said that any actions that we can, the republican political system here until revolutionary. he also went on to say that this is not the system that his grandfather founded. now that is very significant. we've also had a member of the guardian council. again, the vetting body does come out and said that the decision is indefensible. and he accused the security services of intervening, so that if considerable again, frustration. however, this seems to be political elements in this country, the intent on making sure that there is no competition against a brian, right? you see that he becomes iran's next president, but what is happening is that people are asking questions of a brain, right?

you see, and the political forces behind he's big to become president. and what they're asking is, is the objective just to make him president or is it to give him a democratic mandate to ensure that he is best place to become iran next supreme leader. and now those public questions are very rare, but people are asking them and the supreme leader back in march, called for people to come out and vote for team. sure, hi vote to turn act. but looking at the polls and some of those polls, it looks like they will be a low turn act and further to further cement that low voter turnout is making sure that they won't be any significant competition to brian racy. or i said vague from their ron the un security council is discussing the ongoing humanitarian situation in syria. that's as serious that actions are being held, but only in government controlled areas. this little chance of president bush auto losing, despite the decade of war and an economy and free full set of holders and neighboring

evidence, where thousands of syrians live as refugees in the because president charlotte said 21 year rule is about to be extended for another 7 years, he's run for a 4th term in an election where the outcome is not in doubt. the long time leader stood against 2 largely unknown figures who aren't considered serious rivals and whose candidacy required the regime's approval. the exiled opposition was allowed to take part in our civil constitution and legal as security obstacles that not only deny the syrians inside syria by dispensing in these elections. and by that i mean the displace periods in oregon, serial or even the series who are in the area is controlled by the regina. because even this unit in areas controlled by the region, you have the freedom neither to vote nor to run for office. and many of the millions of people who live outside government controls mainly in the north are

refusing to give us a legitimacy. they call him a criminal for killing and the resting tens of thousands of syrians during the 10 year war. the elections won't help bring about a lasting solution, millions of syrians refugees, and they are losing hope of returning home. some are afraid of retribution as long as i said remains in power. others say they won't return because the living conditions are so bad in syria. i certainly believe he won the war, but there is discontent because of a collapsing economy. the serial leader hasn't been able to start with instruction . he needs money, but the international community is refusing to engage with him. russia will attempt to convey this is game over to normalized series relations, but its neighbors and international community. and to say that the section in his to your insecurity council resolution 2250 for the opposition united states and

many other western nations disagree. they said the elections aren't free and fair and there is no safe environment to allow all syrians to participate. resolution 2254 mandates that the you and facilitate the political process that would culminate holding a free and fair elections in accordance with the new constitution administered under un supervision. i said has so far, refused to meaningfully take part in that process. agreeing to political transition means losing his grip on power. he wasn't ready to do that. when his regime was close to collapse. years ago, his message has been and remains that the world must accept that reality. then there was either because eastern lebanon, along with sugar, is a syrian refugee and human rights activists. he's the director for detainee affairs, and the syrian emergency task force almost spent 3 years in a syrian prison when the arabs spring uprisings began to join us. now,

via skype from stock hold good to have you with us. so this is the, what the regime is saying. the fact that so many the fact they say that so many syrians have turned out for this election. it, it shows how united the people are behind the regime. you agree? if you don't though, tweak kelly a family war inside there. yeah. you don't vote and you are inside it, sir. yeah, we did. kenya, which watch are you? lot of people going to have the option. all right, so people you feel don't really have an option. how do you think many people are looking at this? after all this turmoil, the years of revolution, the struggle to have a bigger degree of freedom and democracy. does it mark the end of the revolution? for many people it does not as long as there's people that working

to, to bring down this regime. there is no one for this revolution as long as i'm a life and other people who survived that regime a live. this relation is not over those people who have thought and worked hard to bring best sod regime for and still work you bring in that regime today. criminal court, that was people who are actually doing the legal prosecutions against the ones who tortured them, killed their families. that was, there is no way back for the people who went out to the street asking for the region to call this president who allowed the death for more than half 1000000. sure. and people, even for those who today says based support, there was she just let them ask themselves question no matter if he was good or bad . let's avoid thinking about that. yes. say, doesn't president who allowed the killing of 500000 people to, to happen if they're to be in power?

no. all right, you say there's no way back for people. is there a way forward though, given that made to power in the world? russia we know backs by shuttle. i said in america, well, the new biden administration doesn't seem to be making a big priority of changing the status quo in syria. we always have more hope than what the reality shows us. so as syrians, if we don't see how we will be working, if i see hope for this young revolution, the chain that from regina, i won't be talking to you right now. right? that's mind. but we're trying to bring awareness, have more people to care that international community has not done what they were supposed to be doing. we provided so much evidence again this year regime and very little happened. still. there's so many people who are time, sir. yeah. who are going through the process of learning, experiencing democracy indicating themselves outside of their yeah, me as

a georgetown student time learning for tomorrow to be able to be part of rebuilding syria. the more i learned, the more effective i will be again, december regime and then it will be hopefully a shorter way to bring that regime down. what is your personal message to the serial president? now it's, it's weird just to think about the way he should be thinking about the nightmares he would, he would be seeing every day, just letting your country that way down, killing so many people knowing that just if you go to your balcony from your castle, we actually can see branch to keep being are there is people being tortured every day. and then you go to tv and you lie and you see there is no prison public or present. that's there. yeah. you go on, you lie,

you lie forever. how can you just even those to fight with their resume today? if you a father and you send your son to fight with, there were gene against the opposition. if your son would die, there was you would give you a box of oranges and a clock which on your wall, doesn't this president feel ashamed? at least for the ones to support him? that's just shame. and that's just difficult, tender stand. how a human being can commit per pallet the for so long time, and still have the willingness to run for presidency. all right, and good. getting your thoughts on that. thanks so much. i'm out of sugar. thank you. now be a russian president, alexander lucas shanker says he was protecting his country's people by devoting a european fly to have a battle russian s base. lucas shank had denied that if find the jet for the city

ah, come back here watching out there a time to recap on headline. the us secretary of state has met with the gyptian president in kyra to bowie, to support for the seas far between israel and hamas. he's now in jordan for an audience with king abdullah, the 2nd doctor called his ordered oil giant shell to kathy's compet emissions by 45 percent by 2030 being hailed as a major victory for environmentalists. the verdict could have major implications of similar cases around the world. the former chief adviser to the u. k. prime minister has told the parliamentary committee, the government failed the public and its current virus response. dominic coming says he and other officials acted too late. return to our top story, the fragile truth between israel and hum as

a leader of her master's political faction. and garza has been addressing the media . he says a much larger conflict could break out in the future if issues between israel and the palestinians are not resolved. if the whole world doesn't move to stop and put a limit to the practices of the occupation and alex, a mosque shake gera, and the holy city in general, it will be a reason to ignite a big religious war in the region and bring in a state of worry and widespread chaos in the middle east and the whole world form a south african president, jacob zoom or is pleaded not guilty to corruption charges. in the case zoom, a face is 18 charges of corruption, racketeering fraud and money laundering. so part of a $2000000000.00 deal in $999.00. soon the served as the deputy president bank, then zoom is rejecting the charges saying he's a victim of a witch hunt by arrival faction of the brooding african national congress. to meet the miller reports from johannesburg, former president,

jacob's whom i pleaded not guilty to those charges. it's the 1st official, please by the president. he has on many occasions prior to that said that he's done nothing wrong, but this is a which is politically motivated. it's been going on for almost 2 decades, and this really is attached to these factional battles with if the a n c is also said, just following the adjournment of today's court proceedings. that as far back as the time as he was deputy president, these charges were made, they were late to dropped and reinstated, he said, there's always been a plot to get rid of him and he's willing to clear his name. at the same time, critics have said that he's doing anything he can to avoid prosecution. and in today's court proceedings, we saw some of that when the former president's legal team put forward an application, a special plea to remove the lead prosecutor in this case, saying that he would not be objective. he would not be impartial,

is not independent. and that he is political interference. some would argue that this is again, another ploy to try and derail the legal process. the former president, on the other hand, is saying that this really is about the vacation of, of his presidency and him as a person. and it really talks to this ongoing fight against corruption in south africa, that current president's literature per se, is trying to spearhead, but many would say it's not going as planned. molly's new ruler says the inter and prime minister and president have resigned following their detention by the military. the inter and vice president colonel a see me going to lead a coo last year. it ousted the transitional leaders and ordered their arrests. quota says, elections will take place as planned. next year, the un security council will hold an emergency meeting to discuss the crisis later

on wednesday. in south sedans, health ministries, returning 72000 doses of covey, 900 vaccines because that due to expire, it isn't the only country in africa facing the same problem. several governments decided either to return or destroy tens of thousands of those is mainly because they've been to slows. roll them out. the democratic republic of congo hasn't use most of the astrazeneca supply receives under. the un led kovak scheme that's set to expire next month. so but being sent to other countries like ghana and by the gasket, some health official say vaccine hesitancy is played a big role in the slow take up. allow destroyed maybe 20000 vaccine doses this week because not enough people wanted to get the job. barre shoop is a verola just and chairs,

south africa's ministerial advisory committee on code 900 thank things we joined us live by skype from johannesburg. so was the vaccine distribution capabilities, something which was completely overlooked when the kovak scheme was you know, getting vaccinations to countries. yes, good evening. i think what we can kind of, excuse me was really basically a scheme too for a quarter we'll distribution of vaccines globally. so i think the concern was not really so much the administration of the distribution of vaccine. it is really the procurement of vaccine to countries which mostly middle and low income countries so that they could get hold of that scene. i think the actual administration distribution was really largely lit up to the the health department. so the various countries is then everything being done, are there any initiatives underway to help these countries develop a profit distribution network?

well, the african union has certainly kind of tried to and the african cdc to try and improve distribution and procurement of vaccines throughout the continent. and what role is vaccine hesitancy playing? yeah, that's a good question. and for she probably is playing a significant draw how, how significant africa we really don't know, but we city the patient. yes. africa is that wove some series that produced 50 percent of the population are hesitant. that doesn't mean that they're not that they anti vectors or that they refusing vaccination. they just need more information. nothing is really up to us, to kind of reassure them that the vaccines are both safe and effective. what does that mean? this is not just a problem for individual countries or even the continent, right. what does it mean for the global fight against coven?

19 some countries are not vaccinating for one reason or another. yeah, this is a global problem. it's not just confined to the african continent, and look, these vaccines are new. they've been debated very rapidly. so it's not difficult to see how all of the anti vaccines lobby can generate his c generate nervousness about the vaccines. and we as a scientific professional community need to kind of come with the, with the evidence with this on, typically evidence of why these vaccines are safe, but it is a global problem indeed. right, thank you for your analysis on that. thank you. now to latin america and columbia, as major unions are continuing with anti government protest is spied reaching a preliminary deal with president the van market on monday with demonstrations

against plans to raise taxes began in april. will those proposals have since been shells and unions of demanding social and economic reforms? sounds that path to join us live from, but also how all those demonstrates in shaping up now and sandra. yes, i mean, so far it has been a flow the here and the capital book with a few 100 protesters are gathering in downtown. there are expectations for larger gathering in the afternoon. but in particular, processes here are saying that the big day will be on friday when the protests will reach one month. but of course, all the eyes are what will happen at today to look at any signs or any indications that these demonstrations might be slowing down as negotiations start to move forward. a very slowly between the leaders of the protest and the colombian

government. as you were saying, your introduction, they have reached a preliminary deal, but this is only on security guarantees that the protesters are demanding for their safety during the demonstrations. considering that there have been unfortunate the dozens of debts, accusations of major abuses and violence on part of the police scenes since these demonstrations started. also, we have now seen groups of citizens coming out to protest against them. instructions against the rest in particular, in columbia, their city, kylie, this happened on tuesday, hundreds came out to call for an end to the rest. and in particular, to the roadblocks that have been affecting mostly the south and south west of the country creating shortages. so what we're seeing is that there are

obviously different calls for these protests to change in a way as the negotiations formerly should start between the government and the protesters. but there are 2 things to consider. there are large sections of columbia and youth say that they don't feel represented by the leaders of the protests. the unions and the university students who are saying that they will continue despite the negotiations with their demonstrations. and on the other hand, there has been a major pull that came out that shows that more than 90 percent of columbia do favor the protests. they agree with the protesters, demands as long as they remain peaceful. the other thing to consider here is that president duke his extremely weak. according to this late this poll, just 18 percent of colombians are supporting them and they might convince

protesters to continue with their demands in the coming days. so we're going to see what happens later here in bulletin and other cities and colombia where marches and demonstrations have been called. all right, thanks so much. shanna sandra, the 2nd side clones have india in the week, is damaged hundreds of thousands of homes type phone yards, made land full on india's east coast. on wednesday, bringing strong winds and heavy rain. at least 3 people have been killed. more than 2000000 people have been moved to emergency shelters. our india correspondent, elizabeth for random reports from new delhi. heavy rain and high tides, better the eastern states of edition and westbank gold, severe weather caused by psych loan, yas, i have never seen such a storm in my life. in the last 3040 years. my houses, i'm witnessing this for the 1st time. the water may cross the main door for the 1st
