a long time come in since the detention of the president of transition on monday it was clear that any veil or resemblance of a civil lead government of transition was gone. that the real strong amount of molly is as see me going to. so this comes as no surprise it in the run up to this, and now it's made made by the constitutional court. well as see me going to has been meeting leaders, religious leaders, union leaders, the opposition really trying to rallying to his cause. meaning that there was no real surprise when this constitutional court announcement was made with surprising though, is that according to the charter of transition, that was written out by the military and well himself and members of the civil society. and with the help and the support of the international community, it was agreed that no members of the religion that will take that position of president of the transition,

it was stipulated that was really strongly put by the chief me the mediator negotiator for echo was the west african body. good luck, jonathan. who had said that only a civilian could lead this transition back to elected government. that's not happening. and that's certainly not on the part. now that and see me going is the president of transition. he's reassured the population. he's made statements through his twitter or twitter account saying that there will be a roadmap to the elections. and the presidential elections will be held on in february 20 2022. but there still remains a looming threat of sanctions with the extraordinary summit of the west african heads of state that will take place in ghana. on sunday, germany has acknowledged a committed genocide when it controlled was now namibia and early 19 hundreds. its ruled out reparations, though agreeing instead to more than a $1000000000.00 and development. 8 support for the victims,

descendants under chappelle reports, as their land and cattle were being taken from them. the hurdle people took a stand against their german colonizers at the start of the 20th century. what came next, still haunts their descendants, more than a century later. between 19041008, the germans tried to exterminate the nama, and had people executing thousands and driving other tribes. people into the desert, survivors were used a slave labor and concentration camps, around a $100000.00 people were killed. and this genocide, germany has finally accepted responsibility, it sighs and how it to deny. we will now officially call these events what they were from today's perspective, a genocide in doing so, we also acknowledging our historical responsibility in the light of germany's historical and moral responsibility. we will ask namibia and the descendants of the

victims forgiveness berlin's agreed to provide $1300000000.00 in the next 3 decades in the form of development projects. some had to call it a betrayal of their ancestors because the deal did not include a direct payment of compensation. these have nothing to do with reparation. they call it no, not reparation, but he got reconciliation. so this is a kind of, and you know, out of, of, of development, age and development, age goes to this government. and this government of namibia, as we know, is a corrupt government. in this money will never reach the norma. and there are people that especially the dissidence of these 2 nations, that's why we say no to this reconciliation, we want to reparation. we want to talk directly to the german government, half of the nama people,

and 80 percent of the head were killed. much of maybe as arable land is still owned by descendants of german settlers, some could stand to benefit from the announcement as money will be allocated for land purchases and vocational training. now maybe as government says, the move is a step in the right direction. to heal, we have to learn to live with the scars, but for descendants of those who are either killed or marched into the color, hurry desert, to starve to death. it's a wound that may never heal and are chappelle al jazeera. in the democratic republic of congo, tens of thousands of people are seeking shelter from a fierce 2nd. volcanic eruption africa's most active volcano near the gong goes roared back to life on saturday, killing dublin's destroying homes. authorities have now oldest the evacuation of parts of the nearby city of goma. that order is despised nearly 400000 people. malcolm webb is as

a camp in neighboring wonder where some who flood goma are staying. there was panic when the evacuation order came. his baby, ca temere, was badly burned when a cooking part was not over. he needs medical attention, but there isn't any available. he had this reception center. in rwanda, people fled over the border from the city of gamer to come here from the b believe he spent the night sleeping under this head. they say it's cold. several of the people that are going to hear their homes and everything they own was destroyed in the initial reaction. nearly a week ago when lava came gushing out the side of the volcano, they were waiting in the city of goma for help that the government and promised, but it didn't come and they wanted to evacuate that. so now they hear. many of them say they're hungry and they need help. but to get to another, let me come. we had people screaming,

you're going to die and wondered what was going on. that's when we salmone near a gun, go up to the heart level, came down. all residents are left with nothing and the level district everything and it's pass some help as the right. you and, and the red cross have brought these parcels of food and blanket which is prepared to distribute the people keep arriving to the registering at this desk. the whole line new arrivals waiting, everyone sitting on the floor around here as arrived within the last few hours. one of the worst things is the uncertainty people here really one a need to be in their home. but they have no idea if or when it will be safe to go back to them. the mexican state, mitchell car, is out the sense of a tough war between a powerful drug cartel and self described defense groups. the states, like all the parts of the country, will vote in local elections next month and it's been a violent run up in his 2nd report from midcom. john holman,

looks at how the government seems to have left people defend for themselves. a hillside bunker in the town of po, cut to pick south with mexico, thick walls and the trench across the ridge. it's made for action last night, but it's not filled with the army or police. this is a century point operated by the town, so called self defense group. yes, i go, i want him and he's shooting and you know, i take position, i shoot and then the next person comes up to shoot is just one of their ports of occasions. currently they're fighting the lease, go new generation cartel and they're on high alert. i've actually never seen at checkpoints lighted by the army. so you would like to she came up that hall going down. there you go, checking all the cars. the group of actually told us as well that they've got people waiting in the hills around this knife is as well looking down. and you can

see all of the tires with the as well to go full it self defense groups became synonymous. we've met to 8 years ago when people rose up against rapacious gangs after authorities couldn't or wouldn't defend them. but this is the problem. a lot of people say that over the years of fight and criminals, many of them have gone rotten to come on. this here has given us the tool. i asked him about the accusations. i expected him to deny them. he surprised me. female? yes, we move drugs, of course everyone's free. if i want to buy a kilos, coke, put it inside the battery of a truck and send it to the us. my business crime the cartels. they rob you the kidnap you extort. you kill you. that's different. if someone to pick a says the self defense groups extort them, that's not true. that doesn't exist. he sees no contradiction between

a legitimate self defense group and a drug trafficking ring or an operating both using illegal guns. media. you all know, butler personally, i buy them in the united states. i've got friends and acquaintances there who buy them. so you crossover with guns other people, but obviously with them hidden. some have got their deals with customs as well, like the money that i am river running from the u. s. is one of the prime drive is a violent to mexico, but neither local, no federal authorities have dismantle defense force. their authority, shake it best in a region long left to its own devices. many of to po, cut the picks towns, people support or least put up with the fighters. they faced extortion and terror before the now at least the town is peaceful. nobody does support the group, will enormous local power able to search and detain when they suspect that this

young man is a highly school cartel. soldier going off when they find a small amount of drugs on him. he's arrested. they told us to be sent to a rehab center before then this, the souvenir and testament to their authority. to me, it also notes uncomfortably like the photo is posted by cartels across the country . and that's the paradox in the region where the government is just a bit player. and the forces of law and order include drug trafficking, powerful vigilantes, john home, and i'll just data to poke out to peck. and he can watch the premier john holmes news special. the full report living in mexico to kill them. that's at 1930 gmc, this sunday may attract still ahead on al jazeera. indigenous tribes are under attack from illegal miners in brazil despite a supreme court order to protect quite kicking the habit and you study reveals

their most lucas than ever. ah, ah, it's too late for the journey with sponsored by kettle airways. hello. once again, the authorities in southern china working on the flood defense is here because of the, the my you front which is bringing some more, very heavy seasonal raise here. that the weather system that has been producing those heavy down pulls around $97.00 rivers at warning level. at present, that line of crowded rain rose all the way out to the east, which patted it will continue to just get pushed out into the open waters. here just pulsing that heavy rain out of southern parts of china, north of that fine and rice and pleasant sunshine is the central china. up towards the north of the country, wanted to shout was into the current peninsula, wanted to shout to into northern areas of japan as we go through saturday and on

anything the people living here where we were getting to join me, john, home and with a full report on out. oh, the me you're watching out. is there a mind of our top stories? this our, the colonel who led a ministry to in money this week while serving as vice president has now been declared into him president by the constitutional court. see me going to out that the president and the prime minister all what parts of molly's lost or germany has acknowledged it, committed genocide in namibia. in the early 20th century,

german settler forces kill tens of thousands of indigenous herrera and nom up people, often uprising against colonial. in tens of thousands of people speaking shelter in the democratic republic of congo authority ordered the evacuation of areas near the city. of okay, may run to any moment. the government says nearly 400000 people have been displaced in just a few days. now the remains of $215.00 children have been found at the site of a former school for indigenous children in western canada. the discovery in the province of british columbia has been described as heartbreaking by prime minister justin trudeau. some of the children was young as 3, at least a 150000 indigenous children attended the so called residential schools between the 1840s in 1990 s. many were forcibly taken from their parents and communities. and there,

there was widespread abuse. kathy mcgloid as the member of parliament for the area where the school was located. there is nothing more painful in life than losing a child. my heartbreak today, thinking of all the loving parents who never saw their children return home and who were never granted the dignity of knowing what happened. and joining us from winnepeg is lawyer daniel morrison. she's a member of the and she not a indigenous peoples, an advocate from the treaty, 3 territory of canada. this takes in north western and tara and the east in manitoba. many thanks for speaking to an algebra. what was your reaction when you heard about these $200.00 plus children that have been found buried at the school? i felt devastating heartbreak and my heart goes out to become the people at this time as they mourn the loss of those $215.00 children that were

found. and what i witnessed in the last 24 hours is a collective pain and trauma felt by our communities across the nation. currently, their fire is being lit pipe there being little ceremonies being held, to honor all of those last lives of those precious children for people who are not very familiar with the history of what happened. tell us a bit more about these residential schools and why there was set up so the residential schools were opened with the full purpose of removing the indian from the child. it was to assimilate indigenous people in canada. and essentially in the words, want to be superintendent that the time to get rid of the indian problem. and so the schools opened, they were run by churches, they were funded by the canadian government. and eventually it became

a lot that all indian children had to attend school. and so the royal canadian mounted police actually had a heavy hand and forcibly removing children from their families and placing them into president schools in which place there was neglect. there was rampant disease abuse. there was some testing done with electrical chairs and as we know, of course today and we are talking about, there were many deaths when the t or c report came out from the truth and reconciliation commission. there were 4100 recorded death of children and that was just the recorded ones. and it was estimated that there were hundreds and thousands of more desk on top of that. and we're now seeing the evidence of that. and the truth being uncovered, just one school,

there were 130 more than 130 residential schools located across canada. and there were also day schools in which similar trauma as an abuse also occurred. and i believe your father was a residential school survivor as where his parents, what is he told you about his experience at this his school and how did it impact his life? to be quite honest. my dad never really spoke about his experience in residential school. i think because it was so traumatic a lot of survivors that i've spoken with directly. i did a lot of work throughout 2012 and meeting with them. they were so much shame associated with what they had been through, but they didn't want family members to know. but what my father shared with me was that he was hungry all the time and he would seek out of his room in the middle the night. and go to a root feller,

she parsnips and raw vegetables in the middle the night. and because of that he, he always made sure that we finished our food at the table and i never understood why he would make me sit there and cry about having to finish my food. i even if i didn't make it, it was because he was starved. there was malnutrition of children, and they were nutritional experiments that occurred and that were flayed by a doctor at the residential school that he attended in kenner, ontario. and there were many children who are subjected to these nutritional experiments. the last residential school closed the stores in 1996, which really isn't that long ago. was it taken so long for the schools to shocked? and has anyone been held responsible for what happened so

there's the indian residential school settlement agreement with the largest class action in the history of canada was signed in the early 2, thousands. and there were compensation that was available for survivors of residential schools. a select number of residential schools that the federal government funded but what it did not acknowledge was the history of genocide when the truth and reconciliation commission release. the report that use the qualifier cultural genocide. and that was very pointed. i think it absorbs the canadian government of any culpability and blame on an international level when they were coming up with the definition of genocide at the united nations. there were several colonial countries that voted against the inclusion of cultural genocide. but we know now that it wasn't simply just genocide,

it was straight up genocide for stop money. thanks for sharing your story with us. daniel morrison a winnipeg lawyer and a member of the and she not a indigenous people. republicans in the us senate have derailed an inquiry into the attack on capitol hill by donald trump. supporters. back in january, democrats and some moderate senators from trump's republican party wanted to set up a commission looking in the events leading up to the riots. 54 senators voted in favor that's short of the 60 needed to advance the legislation. the united states is marking the $100.00 anniversary of the toll. so race massacre considered one of the worst incidents of racial violence in american history. 3 survivors have taken part in a memorial march. they calling for reparations and to be paid back to the black

community in 1921 white residence destroyed large parts of tools. the greenwood suburbs, which is at the time, was the nation's most prosperous, black owned business district, hundreds were killed. illegal miners have attacks police in northern brazil and recent months. thousands of prospectors have exploited what is supposed to be protected. indigenous lamps. supreme court has ordered the government to stop this, but as monica yanna ki reports, the mine is believed that being encouraged by the president reducing digital tribes have been fighting legal minors for decades until recently, with the help of government institutions created to protect them. and the amazon rain but not anymore was supposed to natalie you after present in both in our was elected, everything changed. he dismantled the institutions that protected us. wildcat miners are feeling so empowered that they are now attacking our homes and even the

federal police you what the 14000 people feel they're on the wrong. this week, the house of a little qu activist, was burned to the ground in the legal miners, then tried to burn the helicopter. the police would come to the gate. the miners said they had a right to make a living with continue their illegal activity. once the police were gone, was l. wildcat miners are giving alcohol cell phones and the young members of our tribes to gain their they've already contaminated, our rivers are fish and our bodies with mercury. now they're dividing us and weighting conflict. it's not just about gold mining, it's also right drug and arms trafficking. thousands of illegal gold miners are also believed to have a tax. again, no money people on the line. because the 19 pandemic is one reason behind the

rights of the legal mining and the amazon almost 15000000 brazilians are currently unemployed. the brazilian reality has lost its value, and gold prices are to record high. but there's more to the deforestation rate, which this year is expected to beat last year's records and his sod much. the main reason for the increase in for station is the government or anti environment policy . what better example the brazil's environment is being investigated by the federal police and then the legal export pro can restrict minors, loggers and farmers also trying to get new laws approved and congress making it easier for them to exploit the amazon rain forest. and then we did this land, monica, not all, just 0 rear diginero. the number of smokers around the world has reached an all time high. a study in the lancet medical journal found that 1100000000 people

smoked in 2019 population growth in young people, picking up the habits have outstripped efforts to reduce the overall number. also, in 2019 smoking killed almost 8000000 people. 10 countries make up 2 thirds of the wealth, smoking population, including china, india, indonesia, united states, russia, and turkey. and one in 3 tobacco smoke is all about 341000000. in china. dr. oscar elaine is the chief of programs and services for the national association of county and city health officials space in washington dc. he says countries don't invest enough money to help reduce tobacco consumption. smoke in the traditional cigarette has kind of fallen out of favor, but we've seen the rise and other tobacco products that we estimate has really taken a turn with why folks have really been using more of these tobacco products and a,

and then alarm and fashion, whether they be electronic cigarettes, of course e cigars heated tobacco products. 4 there's so many different aspects of folks know, go to right now for smoking, which unfortunately we're seeing this unremarkable right. we really don't want to go into that direction. we're still seeing a reduction in some cases, but an increase in the adolescent in the team population. but i think another instance point that it's very important to realize just in the us alone, 2019 found about $8200000000.00 by tobacco company to market their products. $8200000000.00, which is roughly about $22500000.00 each day, roughly a $1000000.00 per hour. so imagine the friends of the impact of that marketing campaign on a community, as you mentioned, where not much money is spent to counter these effects. so there are several

mitigated factors that we're seeing actually in high income population. really we have to meet these populations. and these demographics, where they're most highly influence. and what has been shown from the study is really that if you're able to get them before they mid twenties, they're less likely to take up smoking the 1st time. the world health organization has criticize the increasingly bitter debate over the origins of the corona virus. any of the suite j bought and gave us intelligence agencies 3 months to report back saying they still haven't reached a consensus at issue is the theory that the virus leaks from a chinese lab. the scenario found to be unlikely by a joint w h o n a investigation. this whole process is being poisoned by politics. and if you expect scientists to do their work, if you expect scientist to collaborate and actually get the answers that you want, actually seek in a non blame environment to find this,

the origin of the wires. so we may all learn how to prevent this happening in future. we would ask that this be done in a deeper letter sized environment where science and health is the objective of this and not blame and politics because quite frankly, over the last number of days we've seen more and more and more discourse in the media with it terribly little actual news or evidence or new material. and this is, this is quite disturbing, quite frankly. ah, this is officer, these headlines. the colonel who led a mother she carried molly this week while serving as vice president has now been declared interim president by the constitutional court. a see me going out of the president and the prime minister for all parts of the previous qu,
