and meeting the people in the faces and hearing from the songwriter and musician who composed the songs from north africa on which is hera. ah, me. this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm adrian. so again, this is but he's a lie from dough hobb coming up in the next 60 minutes and environmental disaster that's getting worse. new problems with a strict and container ship off the coast of shore lanka. more political turmoil, and molly, as west african leaders, threatened sanctions after a military coup. take a 1st hand look inside the volcano that's forced thousands to flee in the

democratic republic of congo. this being called a deaf championship. the push to stop brazil hosting a top football tournament because of corona virus fears. and i'm trying to how much not have the rest of the sport, including a bad night for the bron james and the lakers. the n b a champions are now on the brink of payoff elimination. ah, an environmental disaster off the coast offs for lanka is getting worse. a large container ship that a court fall is now sinking. but part of it has become stuck on the sea, but several 100 tons of oil are in its fuel tanks. it's already cause the countries was ever maritime environmental disaster. the ship was transporting a cargo of chemicals and plastic. let's go live now to a beach near colombo,

algiers. michelle fernandez is death for us, but i have been plans to to this vessel out to deep water before it sank. what's the latest? so basically what we were heading earlier in the day was that attempts were being made to tune the ship away into slightly deeper water, minimizing the potential damage in the event of that ship sinking and discharging that huge amount of potentially fuel and chemicals on board in fact, they did look at the salvages assisted by the like a navy. we did board the vessel earlier in the day to try and, you know, hook it up so that tug boats could start moving it. but the latest we're hearing is that those attempts have been put on hold. because one part of the vessel, the bottom of the ship has hit the sea bed. that's what we're hearing. so because

of that, it's way too dangerous to try and force that vessel any further. obviously, because of potential structural damage. now what we're hearing is the seabed. if you just look over my shoulder in the far distance, it's obviously not too close. it's approximately 800 kilometers or so of the beach is the ship that we're talking about. and the distance, essentially from the surface to the sea bed is approximately 20 meters. and we're hearing that one part of the vessel has have the sea bed. and that has posed another sort of plethora of headaches for all of the authorities. they can't move it. they know it thinking so it's almost inevitable. so what they need to do is get ready. all right, so it's things what's that could have been for the environment as we were saying a few minutes ago. this is already the was environmental disaster intro lanka.

that's right, we're already seeing the impact of millions and millions of plastic meyer micro pellets, essentially. which of littered this beach as well as a huge and a lengthy stretch of beach. literally almost stretching a 2 kilometers or so mixed with debris. bunch of debris. so what we're seeing is authorities preparing for things to get even worse. now the marine and vitamin protection agency, or meta has told us that they have dispatched certain chemicals which i used in the events of oil the they have sent those chemicals to one of the biggest naval camps, essentially to keep them on stand by. so the, in the event that the spill does happen, that there will place to deploy those chemicals and that material. there are also things like booms which are pretty much inflatable cubes. in the simplest of

description that can be used to surround or encircle the ship, to try and minimize the spread of with a fuel with the chemicals within the sludge. so these are also being moved into place. one of the people involved in these operations. i spoke to a little while ago, he did say that these are phenomenal sort of undertakings. i've been trying to pull something like 200 meters of inflated boom on very choppy seas is not easy. then obviously need to be inflated before that taken to the sea in order to deploy them around that ship. so there are lots of, sort of logistical issues. there's also further down many kilometers down here. the fishing community of the gumbo. i was there earlier yesterday and there is essentially a lagoon there which has a key ecosystem of mangrove. that's where the bronze phone,

where you have breeding grounds authorities also concentrating on trying to make sure that they prevent any c page or leakage into that area. but overall it's, it's a huge and a mom is momma task for the authorities. and everybody's just watching to see how bad things get. and to be quite frank edgen. i mean, there's a limit as to what people can do. also is eris mcnelson and as reporting live from colombo. now, many facts and date and radian navy ship has reported have sunk in the gulf of among, after a fire broke out on board. the crew is believed to be safe. it's unclear what caused the blaze. the head of the un relief and works agency is urged israel to stop the expulsion of h, palestinian families and the neighborhood of shakes shadow that's an occupied east jerusalem for the last. i mean, he says that forced evictions of palestinian refugees is illegal on the

international law. it is very difficult to explain how the lives of this 8 family risk being turned upside down was the 2nd time was in the, in the free generation of being produced in refugees high. so one home in which is 20 settler. i've already taken over half of the house. so the house is actually divided into a policy and family on a family settler. it is written on what continues to call on the israeli authorities to out the displacement and to protect the rights and dignity. but it's in reference to that into westbank, including here in santa, where we are today, this eviction. violet's international law, an obligation as an occupying power for only one. this protest in refugees are

facing a 2nd displacement in living memory. at the head of the un agency for police in refugees and as mandated by the un general assembly to protect assist. but just in refugees, i have mid it out purity to help prevent and now the cycle of trauma and loss. the families never ever lost their refugee status. they are recognized as palestine refugees the time when the houses were built in exchange for their russian cards, which meant flour and oil, and whatever other support was providing that was the exchange. they have never lost a refugee status. they are registered with registered palestine, refugees, they have right to receive support from any other policies of her life now to harry forces, who's in west jerusalem,

he can tell us more. no punches pulled there from city. maurine, what's been the reaction to his comments? i will know specific reactions so far that we've seen, but it's more about the sort of matching international pressure that that has been in recent weeks on this issue. israel's foreign ministry, very recently the beginning of may was talking about this as a private land dispute. a civil matter between one group, a jewish group that was essentially suing for the repossession of property. that it said it owned in east jerusalem, which israel sees as a unified part of its capital city after it, unilaterally annexed it in $967.00. well, that's not the story. as far as the international community is concerned, as far as international law is concerned, and certainly not as the palestinians. i concerned this is occupied territory, beholden to international law. and israel has obligations to people who live there

particularly refugees. and so this is the narrative that is now being pushed very strongly and israelis coming under some pressure. and of course, the amount of protest and tension that there was around this issue before. and of course, during and after the, the war that we've seen fought with hamas in gaza, adds to it all. israel's attorney general has now inserted himself into this issue . the idea of a supreme court hearing which was to have decided whether an appeal would be heard . well, that was postponed on the 10th of may. and the attorney general has until june the 8th to give some kind of opinion on the matter. so there is now a political element to this, even as far as israel is concerned, and we wait to see exactly how israel will proceed, whether this pressure will be brought to bear and make a change. it is ready policy al jazeera hurry for spare live in west jerusalem. harriet,

many thanks. date will united nations and red cross officials are in the gaza strip . to assess the extent the humanitarian crisis that the you and representative of on hello is assessing damage to key in structure including housing, education, health and waste management. it's after an 11 day conflict, left thousands of people displaced fully and continuous israeli bombardment. the i c r c director general. robert nandini is missing people who lost their homes in israeli asterix. let's go live now to gaza. i was 0. assume the outside is that for us? yesterday we had the use representatives the palestinian territories. today it's the, the un and that the red cross, one of these officials going to be doing that. we're used to have lots of preventatives from the united nations red cross and others to actually come to the cause and pay some visit that you may carry and condition

since the buyer. after all, these, the representatives are here because the conditions are the human conditions are still deteriorating in because the strip there isn't a difference that has been done or a significant difference that has been done according to population of because the strip that came up with selim crossings is still there still the prevention of fuel to enter the gaza strip for electricity plans to be working properly, which means that the residents are still getting free to for hours of electric. until now they're afraid that this shortage of power would affect the health sector, especially not just the population. and also it has affected the treating of sewage . and now municipality of god, stuff are discharging. there was in the sea of god's done, which is also causing

a high rank or high lesson pollution to the residence this place, people are still the way they are. there hasn't been done anything in their condition so far. and that's why we are witnessing a lot of the visit now, especially in these difficult times where there would be assessing correct, assessing the humanitarian condition on the procedures or what to be done even outside the life in gaza. you know, thanks. israel's defense menace says, going to the united states to ask for more military aid that he gave swamps, a $1000000000.00 to restock israel's, an offense austell. the 11th a conflict with hamas, or thousands of rockets launched and intercepted of a palestinian and israeli skies. dancers also meeting us secretary of defense,

lloyd austin, to discuss garza and iran. meanwhile, negotiations are continuing between political parties and israel to form a new government to end the 2 year political stalemate, opposition leader lockheed has until the end of wedding the state to declare that he can form a coalition. he's in talks with the far right leader, natalie bennett. if they agree on a government, it will mark the end of benjamin netanyahu is 12 year rule. dalia shined. lynn is a public opinion analyst and political strategies. she joins us now by from tell a be good to have with a set dalia, if a p thank you for adding this declares that he can form a coalition. and we were expecting some sort of announcement by now, but it hasn't come. what sort of government will it be? how stable will it be? it will be a very broad government. it will be a complex coalition of many colors. i mean by that idea, logical party from very different sides of the political match, as you point out necessarily, bennett is the leader of a party, which is an ultra,

and i would call it an ultra nationalist party, but it was among the 1st when modern times to advance annexation of the parts of the west bank long before benjamin nathan. yahoo! there are 2 other parties of the ideological white wing. there is a interest party which is your look that will be the biggest party. couple of others that in a counselor center us and then of course 2 parties from the zionists left that will be labor and marriage. and this whole government would depend on the votes, either from inside the coalition or outside of the united arab list, which represents the movement in israel. these parties disagree on many things. it's not a coincidence that they haven't managed to announce the formation of the government by 11 o'clock today, which is what la pete was hoping. it's because there are serious sticking points, if it looks likely as of last night that they would be able to form this government every minute brings new twist and these negotiations and obstacles we may not see the formation of a government today and possibly not by midnight. in which case,

there's a lot of uncertainty ahead, right? but if he somehow does managed to put it off and announces that he can form a government, what will it means a prime minister netanyahu? he's what 71 now, how likely is it that he will leave the political stage if he's no longer prime minister? very unlikely, very unlikely. and it isn't. yeah. who is not a person who likes to leave the political stage. there are only a few times very few times that he's done that in the past. and that was in the 10 yahoo of a different era by all accountants in yahoo is planning on staying around and making life very difficult for this tenuous coalition. if it should come to pass from the opposition, he would be head of the opposition in that case and he has done nothing else, but think of is to undermine the government ahead of its creation. he will continue doing so if this government is established, it's interesting because his legal trouble get a little more significant. i mean, he's already on trial. of course, his trial is ongoing,

even as we speak something that has been a little bit pushed behind the headlines as the country waits to find out about the new government. but he will certainly lose influence over the kind of government, including the appointments that will be made in the judiciary, including the attorney general, the prosecutor police chief. these are the kinds of figures who would have an influence on his ongoing trial, and he would no longer have any position of power to, to influence that choice. so he is in a weaker position, but he can remain a member of connecticut and the head of the opposition. just finally, i suppose, even if this, this coalition is somehow formed, we shouldn't hold our breath. for breakthrough in the israel palestine conflict, it's very unlikely because of those 2 holes on the far right and the zionist left. and of course on through about on the indian party representing the islamic movement. we have, i think we have parties that would be significantly at loggerheads just to explain

what the positions why the positions are so intention. again, a fairly bennett does not believe in a 2 state solution. he is opposed to a palestinian state. he support annexation of at least a large part of the west bank, if not all of it, probably ultimately, all of that labor and marriage goes to left parties or a 2 state solution. and i don't think they will find a way to agree at best. we can see perhaps some slight changes in the direction of, for example, settlement expansion or restraint. but right now i wouldn't that on which of those directions this new government might say, really good to talk to you. tell me. thanks and be delia shy. linda, thank you here with a nice out from al serra still come on the program in the mounting justice. why the victims of a landslide in eastern uganda taking the government? of course, remembering tulsa why more needs to be done 100 years south to one of the worst racial massacres in the us history. and in sport. it was

a quiet night in paris for the best tennis player in the world. the latest from the french open coming up a little later. ah, the victims of a landslide in eastern uganda, taking the government to court for failing to protect communities from climate change. lawsuit says that authorities should have relocated survivors of the 2019 disaster hearings are expected to begin in the coming weeks. how does he resembles while a report the highlands of mount el, gone are one of the most dangerous places to live in uganda. for years, experts have warned of unprecedented rising temperatures. and extreme rainfall. floods had wrote its soil degraded, land, and destroyed whole villages. for the most vulnerable losses can be measured in human lives. unique when i'm to mean when i go the my wife was in the house that

day, but the children had gone to the grandmother's place. my wife was taken by the landside together with the house, and every time i went back to take a heavy rains in june 2019 triggered a series of landslides. at least 5 people were confirmed, killed another 50, remain missing to this day. with 150 houses buried in the mud, survivors were left with nothing. come to me since landslide, the government has been able to help others. but for me, i haven't received any help. 6 months later, another landslide killed 30 more people and left dozens more missing years on the construction of new homes and moving displaced communities to the lowlands remains in its early stages. the superman ended up isn't, is being done in the government does not have the because it fits them at once. but

that being taken in physics. so the 1st 50 has already gone and constructed for them over $100.00 units of homeless where they're doing and then the crating does to move. so it is going to be done in the in may $48.00 survivors from buddha district, took their case to you. god does high court accusing the government of failing to protect people living in areas prone to mudslides and being too slow to relocate. survivors hearings are expected to begin this month. this eastern part of the country is more vulnerable than others to climate change. between 282018, the government recorded more than 400 landslides in the area. still one official says, many refuse to leave. you've been physically going to these places and you get to a household that is on the steep slopes and you tell them where you are. is very

prone to landslide. could you accept to move the cause with not been using force 1st, a voice, no international, encouraged and allowed to use force to look at this before you must seek the consent to give them information and they make informed decision to move or to stay . but there are some that have been refusing to move, but some are still waiting for help. he got a really good. yeah. a good guy got, well, the government just came and picked of the people that came back and told us we'll take you to. they gave us cards, but to date they haven't come back. for now, vincent still walks the land where he once lived, where his children once played and where his wife lives buried beneath the mud is in basra, having algiers, molly's entering president to see me going to expect you to be sworn in the coming

hours of days of political turmoil, military crew leaders have been under growing pressure from the international community. the african union has suspended molly and threatened economic sanctions . and the french president is suggesting pulling out troops from molly. if instability continues. let's go live now. so the capital bama co, i'll just eras. nicholas hock is that for us, nick via you and echo was suspended. marty, what sort of pressure is that putting on the transitional government? well, adrian, with that means is that the african nations do not recognize the current military leadership that is in molly. and they want to see a civilian government or ahead of states in charge of the country and the west african body eco. i says it will be monitoring the situation until the elections, the february 2022. that's when it's to be great. i said there will be free and fair elections, but they only have his word for it because in the past he had made promises that

civilian as a civilian, not a member of the military would be head of the country. but look at the situation now today we're going to see as see me going up sworn in a following a tweak of the mall, the constitution as the new head of state of the country. and while there are these suspensions by the african union and the west african body echo was for as me go, he said when he returned back from microphone the meetings and on sunday, well, he saw it as a victory, had a heroes welcome because those suspension falls short from sanctions that would badly affect molly and while they are international pressure, they're also adrian domestic pressures. and i'm referring to to the arm groups that continue to launch attack against the un peacekeeping force on the ground. and maryan army just yesterday, in the region of the un bass, was attacked by arm groups and they were repelled by chad in forces. and many

critics here of the military to say, that's the job of not the charge in forces, but the 1000000 army to defend molly's country. so molly's military are currently under enormous pressure. take a look at this report. morrow cd bay is prepared to die for his country. the son of a soldier, he's training to join molly's army decision. he took after seeing a young colonel take over power from the aging former president k to last august. he believes the soldiers can succeed, where politicians have failed to bring peace to his country and end the violence. the situation is getting worse. when i think of my country in this state of war, i am afraid for the future. that is why i want to join the fight and go to the front line on sunday arm groups affiliated telco de shot security forces in the southern region where to be it's from despite a 2015 piece agreement with some armed groups and the presence of 14000 you in

troops in the north and center of the country. attacks are intensifying with ammonia army losing ground to new armed groups like the stomach states in the greater sahara. almost half a 1000000 mullins have been forced to leave their homes. 6000 people have been killed among the dead. for 2 months, both husband a captain who died after his vehicle drove over a roadside bomb game. and i was surprised. i didn't expect this. i spoke to him before the attack. he was telling me about a kid in our family and saying he would be back soon. he never came back. i hold the rebels, the grooms responsible for his death. the civilian government of transition formed last year was ready to negotiate with some of the arm groups, including with al qaeda affiliate. but the new military gentle leader, colonel, go into detained the prime minister in president last week they resign shortly after going die is now interim president, although he says he will stand down after organizing elections. in february 2022,

there's only been one peaceful transition of power, 5 military coups, 2 of them in the last 9 months. all of them started from here, the buried town of county where soldiers are deciding on the future of the country . the committee of the move in for otherwise who signed the peace agreement say they disagree with the military gentle former prime minister mussa mara believes this is a worrying sign of it, a sort of a project you saw last. our offices are bickering. i have a government positions in the capital by mechanics. will african soldiers dying the front line, trying to protect the country? this is a humiliating situation. for c debate, it's not up to politicians or foreign forces to save his country from descending into further chaos. but the malia people, he says he's ready to serve and defend molly. well, i see me go, he has swamped his military fatigue for a civilian suit. in

a couple of hours he will be sworn in as the new president of the insurance. after that, he will nominate a prime minister sugar my member of the end 5 movement is suspected to take that position and that's controversial for some of the signatories of the algiers peace accord. he believes that that record is obsolete. he believes that a new framework should be put in place, believing that there's too much room given to arm groups in the north. and also there is added pressure from the international community to community from the french president and manual my call to angular merkle, who has the biggest and largest military foreign deployment here in raleigh of german troops. and there are so many actors, adrian here, trying to decide on the future of molly and drowned in this conversation,

are the 1000000 people. adrian makes any thanks. ashley harris. nicholas. hark, reporting. live there from pamlico in molly weather update next year on algebra. then concern from the polls rule villages here how code 19 is testing the health system. the despite a drop in the number of cases and deaths. sports, it's back to the future for rail madrid. details coming up later. ah hello, it's the wild weather. we had been talking about for parts of spain, these clouds dropped some hail. let me take you to spain and show his seeing that we had we needed plough trucks to remove the hill. we did see stones up to 6 centimeters. now the bulk of that energy has shoved further north in france,

so we do have thunderstorms in the forecast. and yes, that includes for paris. it's got a bit of instability across parts of the u. k. but this is going to run into high pressure and dissipate so london, no rain in the forecast for you for the next several days. and i did want to put this on your radar toward northern parts of germany along the border of pulling. the risk of hail is here, heavy rain and stiff winds and we can't rule out the risk of an isolated tornado. then we still have widespread instability across the black seas and very heavy rain for southern sections of russia, pushing into ukraine. take you to the mediterranean break now and look. we have a batch of what weather running across the boss for us in turkey, temperatures here are well below where they should be for this time of the year. take you to north africa right now and we have heavy rain for cameron nigeria. southern section gone that and that spilling into the ivory coast. i b, john a hive 28 on wednesday.
