digital anti groups when a population call in the middle, what's your reason for being mature? why do you want this territory? i'm reporting from an epicenter of mexico, violence to investigate can an upcoming election change? anything for people living here? so we're getting to join me, john holeman for the full report on how do i this is al jazeera ah 1500 dollars, gmc hello, i'm kim all santa maria aaron, how welcome to the news from ologist is the magnitude of this destruction. here is, of course, shocking and heartbreaking. the head of the international committee of the red
6:01 pm
cross visit garza to take stock of the humanitarian situation on israel san wagner . last not all for in the news fears of an even bigger environmental disaster is a congo ship. the bone for 13 days off the coast of sri lanka is now thinking, rising unemployment, homelessness, poverty, long term impacts of locked down, according to a report from the international labor organization. seeing, sorry for the tragedies of the past is not enough and counted as prime minister says the discovery of the remains of more than 200 indigenous children on the part of a larger tragedy. i'm satisfied and i'll have all this for it's a bad night for the bron james and the late because the i'm gay champions and now on the brink of child elimination. ah. so almost 2 weeks after the si fi which ended the latest conflict between israel
6:02 pm
and mass and united nations and red cross officials are in gases wednesday to see the damage for themselves. they're also assessing the extent of the humanitarian crisis. after that 11 day conflict with israel, looking at damage to homes and schools, hospitals, and garz's critical infrastructure. thousands of people remain displaced after residential buildings and houses were destroyed in the israeli bombardments. here is robert medina. first of all, he's the director general. the international committee of the red cross speaking to earlier that the conflict has had a psychological effect on the people of garza. the invisible scars afford the mental health, which also was the red thread through all the discussion i had with the gods and today which also need need to be supported in great way. so we have launch a preliminary appeal of 15000000 says frank, that we definitely need in order to be also carry out what i mentioned
6:03 pm
earlier, also supporting the palestine rich christian society volunteers who have been doing a remarkable work at throughout this recent the episode of escalation, but i think my lead to the international is coming to the parties to the different sides and also the international community in order to avoid that in one year or 2 years or 5 years. we bear witness to the same tragedies on both sides by the way of the guys offense is there is a need for political leadership. there is maybe a glimmer of hope. now, with the political dynamics are playing out with the egypt and other states trying to to, to, to make progress on the political front. i think the only way out is meaningful political solution to this long standing conflict. and in the meantime,
6:04 pm
we need really to step up our support in order to beef up the humanitarian response in the gaza strip in the very short term. meanwhile, israel's defense minister is going to the united states to ask for more military aid. been against once a $1000000000.00 to restock israel's at defense arsenal. the conflict with her mass and garza so thousands of rockets launched and then intercepted over palestinian and israeli skies island fisher with us now from the white house to talk about this . hi, ellen. any reason to think he won't get? that's extra money. well, it's interesting that the dynamics playing in washington at the moment benny gann will be here on thursday. he'll go to the pentagon. he'll meet with the lloyd austin, who is the defense secretary and jim sullivan, who's the national security advisor. his intention is to ask for $1000000000.00 and $8.00 to replenish iron dome munitions. no thought that joe biden offered
6:05 pm
part of this money to try and get the israelis to agree to cease fire. you remember that he mentioned a couple of times. he want to see an end to the fighting. it's still jack going for a couple of days before the c spy was actually put in place. lindsey graham, who is a senior republican, i was actually in israel on tuesday and he said, this is going to fly through congress. there's not going to be a problem there. he should maybe take a breath and hold on a 2nd. there might be a problem there because we know that a number of progressives in the democratic party were clearly not happy with the fact that the war on guys continued so many civilians were killed. and 5 bending saunders tried to stop military aid going through to israel, $780000000.00 worth of military 8. and eventually went through that objection one because it looked as if it was already gone through and had passed through the process that it needed to be to because it helped to get
6:06 pm
a c spot in guys as well. so there's no guarantee that this will automatically go through, it's likely to, but there will be a number of democrats, both in the senate and the house who will say, look, we can't just be signing a check to israel here because how are we sure that this is providing security rather than provoking confrontation and just a reminder that in the year 2020 israel got $3800000000.00 from the united states. most of that and military aid allen, just tell us a little bit more about the support from. well, they all commit occupant of the building behind you because you've told us there about the opposition that does exist within the democratic party. but certainly during those 11 days of conflict, jo biden's tone was still very, very much in israel's court. it's hard to judge because in one hand, he seems to be very much in line with some of the progressives in the democratic party who are concerned about what is happening in gaza and certainly the plight of
6:07 pm
the palestinians. but he's also aware of the real politic all. busy the issue that israel is a close ally of the united states that many people like to see the us being closely wedded. but the other thing is, of course, with the possibility of a new government in israel. i can change the entire dynamic joe biden and benjamin netanyahu don't get on. you remember that as obama's vice president, he travelled to israel to talk about settlement on the morning that he arrived benjamin netanyahu. i noticed that there was going to be an expansion of settlements that was seen as a huge diplomatic slap in the face, not just for job binding, but for the u. s. and so the relationship the bite and has with netanyahu isn't great. so a new government, me change that dynamic one other thing guns is going to talk about when he comes to the united states is the iran nuclear deal. joe biden, very keen to get back into that. benjamin netanyahu has been very much against it. in fact, said in the last 40 hours or so,
6:08 pm
if you choose between across close relationship with the united states and confronting iran, then he would confront around really good points, good contact from alan fisher at the white house. thank you. now we'll keep on this story for a bit more than other aspects. the head of the you in relief and works agency and has urged israel to stop the expulsion of palestinian families in the neighbourhood of chick jetta. he'll remember this occupied east jerusalem. phillip love that he has said that the forced evictions of palestinian refugees is illegal under international law. it is very difficult to exten how's the lives of his aid, family risk being turned upside down. was a 2nd time within the and the free generation of being seen, refugees, i so one home in which is 20 settler. i've already taken over hundreds of the house. so the house is actually divided into
6:09 pm
a policy in the family and 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 violates 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 and assist but is to refer div. i have made it out purity to help prevent another cycle of trauma and thus the families never ever lost their refugee status. they are
6:10 pm
recognized as palestine refugees the time when the houses were built in exchange for their russian cards with men, flower, and oil, and whatever other support and was providing that was the exchange. they have never lost the refugees. they are registered with registered palestine, refugees, their right to receive support from any other public. so that's what we heard from shut off earlier. here is harry force that now with more from western that's more about the sort of massing international pressure that there has been in recent weeks on this issue. israel's foreign ministry, very recently, 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
6:11 pm
a unified part of its capital city after it, unilaterally annexed it in 1967. 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 israel is 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
6:12 pm
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 and is ready policy. the palestinian journalist, xena al, hello, when he has been released from prison and after being arrested during the fighting, unoccupied, east jerusalem in may. city of her went viral. she smiled and gave a victory sign off to being man handled by police officers. she was charged with carrying a palestinian flag. she says, what haunts her the most 3rd from her time in jail, where the children that were there in there with her. i'm walking across my cell. there was a section for children, kids aged about 11 and 12 years old. you can hear them yelling in the middle of the night. for god's sake, they were screaming for their mother's. i was locked up, tied up, confined in myself, that's manageable. i swear, what can i say?
6:13 pm
every time i remember these kids, i want to cry. thank god, i'm out. but what about the children who are still locked up inside? meanwhile, and ellen mentioned the silly negotiations continuum in israel to form a new government and to end the 2 year political stalemate, the opposition leader. yeah, he has until the end of wednesday to declare he can form a coalition he is and towards the far right lead enough sally bennett. if they agree on a coalition, iraq, the end of benjamin netanyahu 12 year run as israel, the longest serving prime minister and the past 2 hours politicians in israel's parliament elected the issac hurts august. the new president, 6087 vote in his favor. president's role is largely ceremonial, but does have the power ground, pardon? and it is he hereafter candidates to form a new governance that's local take of the presidency from reuben river, then in july, 13 minutes past. the news here is what's coming up. a 1st hand look inside the
6:14 pm
volcano, that's 4000 to flee in democratic republic of congo. also, why museum and hong kong dedicated to the channels square massacres and port to close just days before the 32nd anniversary. and enforce back to the future for rail madrid. more details on that with sarah, sort of like a on environmental disaster off the coast of sri lanka only seems to be getting worse, a large container ship holding several 100 tons of oil. chemical then plastics is now for the thinking off the coast of the capital colombo, it caught fire last month and then burned for 13 days straight. plastic debris is already washed up on the beaches and things can get a lot worse if the oil on board stop leaking. the ship is dealt the death blow to our lives. we can't go to the sea, which means we can't make
6:15 pm
a living. an update from michelle fernandez in negotiable, where the preparations are under way for the clean up operation. this is one of the main concerns of a potential oil bill. now seemingly almost a matter of time with the ship thinking here what you see behind me is the outlet, the where the see meets the lagoon. essentially here in the gumbo, he fishing inlet in sri lanka. now some of the preparations that have been taking place is essentially to look at the possibility of an oil spill, a chemical leak that would essentially bring waters from the sea and potentially move it up. what if you can, if you can just look beyond here, the sort of line of orange that you can see is actually essentially insulated booms . these here in the gumbo have been put in place to prevent potential oil slick or any other toxic material for moving up the lagoon mouth. this is obviously one of
6:16 pm
the places here in sri lanka, which has some key breeding grounds. there are all vital mangroves that essentially provide these breeding grounds for small fish for prawns and the like in a host of marine life. and this is why some environmentalists have sounded essentially alarm those of what is happening out there on that ship. we've heard that because now it's just a matter of time obviously. but in addition to things like this, the boom, the sort of inflatable form, sort of a positive. these are also being put around the vessel. the navy has been given certain chemicals or equipment and mosquitoes that i use. generally when they're always licks the coast guard is on the alert we're being told to handle any oil leak that results in this basic crisis we've had india. the navy has
6:17 pm
told us that has been in touch with the long navy. they have all so deployed that course god vessel to fight any oil spill as well as working with the sri lankan coast. good. so this is the situation as it stands. you see behind me the number of boats. now these obviously multi fishing vessels as well as on the other side. they're all the smaller boards. but again, for fishermen livelihoods is a huge problem. i mean, they've had enough of trouble with essentially coven restrictions. there was a cycle on a few days ago, they couldn't put to see now they've been essentially warnings about putting all to see and the very impact of the thinking potential oil spill of toxic mosquitoes in the water. i mean, it's unquantifiable and this is the reason environmentally stuff. dressing that
6:18 pm
those in authority must be cognizant of the sheer impact, the sheer cost, not just in sort of dollar and sandstone for today and tomorrow, generations to come to ensure the to longer has the ability to call back to repair, to re, to, to mend. and basically get over this catastrophe. in nigeria, at least 136 students are missing after an armed group attacked and slamming school into gina and the state of new jersey on sunday, one person was killed. another critically injured parents have been reunited with some of the younger children who were released. security and intelligence forces are searching for the others. now i made interest now live in midnight, where the government officials a meeting to discuss the search operation. what more can you tell us? well, the meeting tomorrow just ended a few minutes ago, and we expecting
6:19 pm
a press statement from the government. now with the key issues is the location of why these children are kept. holding them already, there are some suggestions or suspicions as to hold them. basically, this is an area that was a talked a few months ago and printed 7 students were taken from calgary school and held for more than 10 days. so the government says it is not willing to pay a run some, but it is willing to negotiate a release of these students. however, the fact of the matter is that we've seen the state governments or governments across nigeria, paying kidnappers, run some to have some of these. some of the victims released in this case, the government said it's not going to do that. but i think what we're seeing now is possible outbreak of practice. we had that one was shadow today by mothers of the victims of the kidnap and it was put off. but the question is for how long will
6:20 pm
that be in us? might just, the government fails to reach an agreement for the st. release of these children, the government set on the spot said it's doing all it can, but it's saying still maintaining that it's not going to pay rental for the needs. many people don't believe so. and this is we talking about a state where 3 attacks can happen in a single day. security forces are always stretched to deal with that with this problem. and of course, there is a vast forest linking this state and several other states why these band, it's the appreciate the call them can move freely another couple of forest without basic forces detecting them. ok, thank you for that. mid, mid interest reporting from minute. our report from the international labor organization says the pandemic and lock downs lead to millions of people losing their jobs. poverty and homelessness have also gone up, report for maybe 9 percent of total working hours will last last year. that is the
6:21 pm
equivalent of the hours worked in one year by $255000000.00 full time workers. there are half the losses were due to employees working hours being reduced. the rest were just people being laid off. the i o o says an estimated 108000000 work as a now described as extremely or moderately poor. that means they live on less than $3.20 a day. and it says, 5 years of progress towards the eradication of working poverty has been undone. we can poverty right now back at the levels they were in 2015 with us now from geneva guy, right. who is the director general of the international labor organization? thank you for your time and your patience as well. i know you've been waiting there a while i got through some other news. the 1st thing i want to do is to try to understand what this number means a little bit more and 9 percent of working hours last. that would be the hours worked in a year by $255000000.00 full time work as can you sort of break that down for us a little bit more and explained what it means. but that's exactly as you stated it
6:22 pm
. we thought that the best way in 2020, to really quantify the impact of the pandemic on the world of work was to look at actual hours worked not an employee or employee to because there was so many different and partial unemployment and fellow systems going that the shore is indicator was i was actually worked and as you have said last year it was down 8.8 percent, which is the equivalent of 255000000 full time jobs. 48 hours a week. but what we're doing with the report that you just referred to is trying to look ahead from how the recovery is taking the labor market forward. because we are seeing economic recovery, we are seeing a return to growth. we are seeing jobs being created. and what we're trying to establish is how quickly the terrible damage done by the pandemic is going to be repaired and looking forward to the end of next year. the end of 2020 to the answer
6:23 pm
is basically that we won't fully repaired. the damage will still be $23000000.00 jobs down on where we would have been without to pandemic. so recovery will be incomplete by that point. and in addition, i think this is something i'd like to stress. this recovery is very on even what we're seeing is the high income countries bouncing back quickly. but the lower income countries struggling the concerned, i must be that a lot of these jobs simply won't come back. that companies have found ways to automate, to work from home, more to consolidate positions. and in fact, all those jobs aren't going to come back. but i think changing world of work is, it is, is a constant. it's a, something that was happening before the pandemic has happened during the pandemic, and it will continue. but i think we ought to exercise a little bit of caution in saying, look, we're heading to
6:24 pm
a new normal which will suddenly appear, which will be radically different. what we had before, and this will be enormously disrupting my view on that is, you know, once a panoramic recedes, we in a position once more to make decisions about the future of work and labor markets that have in a sense, been confiscated. by the pandemic. we haven't had many options. we've had to work as a pandemic, is allowed. so i actually think looking forward, yes, the job churn will continue. there is some reason to believe that digitalization has been accelerated by the pandemic. but we have choices to make, and i think making sure the recovery is designed in accordance with what we would want in the world of work is a challenge before us. ok. other any positives to have come out of all of this? and maybe this is just an extension of talking about, as you said, the labor market and labor force is always changing. but can you find if you good to come out of not a lot of bell tear, but i think it's,
6:25 pm
it's fair to point that those who suffered most in this, in this pandemic. and i'll start with the elephant in the room, often ignored. there are 2000000000 informal workers informed sector workers in the world that is 6 out of 10 working people. they've been hardest hit of all by this pandemic, and with very little protection offered. but the other 2 demographics, which need to be underlined, or of course women who have left the labor force in very large numbers not only become unemployed, they simply become an active. and the 2nd is young people. they've been hit by a, in a, a triple or quadruple when he started in a bad place. education interrupted expelled from labor markets where they had jobs and now with very few prospects. and we need really to make sure that they are given priority attention in the recovery, any sign of something positive. the fact that during this pandemic,
6:26 pm
we have seen the proof that it's possible to change our policy settings and to do things slightly differently. from what we've been doing in the past, and if we take that lesson into the recovery process, i think there's some reason for optimism that we can do a few things better than we did in the past guy. right. and the director general of the international labor organization, we thank you very much for your time. more than a week after africa's most active volcano erupted and nearly 40 people are still missing in hundreds of thousands without to leave their homes. as is in democratic republic of congo, it is just one of 2 volcanoes people in going to have to worry about as well. welcome web accompanied a un vulcan ologist to visit the summit of one of them. the stereo to desco's job to monitor and study africa's 2 most active volcanoes in the democratic republic of congo. when they're at risk of abrupt thing,
6:27 pm
he'd safest to go by helicopter. we joined him for a visit. we set off from the city of goma, home to about 2000000 people, and perilously close to mountain near congo inside the crater on the summit as a lake of lava. just over a week ago, lava came gushing out of 2 splits in its sides. one of the streams went into the city of goma. this is what it did. thousands of people lost their homes and everything they own. sabri during the food most seen this happen 3 times over the 85 years. he's been alive and sell earth tremors since he was a small boy. there were few records of the volcanoes history, but people here have known its dangers for generations. what simon, come up, the old is used to tell us that if the mountain is annoyed and take it, if the mountain is annoyed and you see fire, then you must run away
6:28 pm
a kilometer and a half higher than the city. helicopters able to land on a shelf inside the crater of mountain gira all around the edge of the crater. the plumes of gas is coming out of cracks in the ground. it smells eggy, like sofa, and the surface of the ground emitted with this mixture of ashy rog. it's warm to touch and is full of holes because this was boiling, bubbling, molten rock in the crater itself. the level of the law is low at the moment after a series of interruptions in the last few years. we keep hearing piles of rocks breaking off the side and crushing down into the bottom. that is clearly still seismic activity going on. dario once a closer look, the volcano sit on the side of the east african rift, where to take 20 areas have been pulling apart from each other for millions of years. the tool kind of being also
6:29 pm
a very different one from each other. the more at the same time because the reef is starting to move, the seismic activity is due to the re 30 suddenly moves. and then unfortunately, the people saw feeling and it whole, these activities and charity kept the un, which area i work for, have had peacekeepers in humanitarian programs in congo for more than 20 years. observing the volcanoes is critical for trying to protect their options and keeping people safe. the crater is best seen from the air. the volcanoes here are not well understood compared to others because of the lack of historical seismic data. but there is spectacular, as they are dangerous malcolm web al jazeera mountain emma gira, democratic republic of congo. in the news, the head worries for napoleon, rural villages, we will hear how covered 900 testing to help the term despite
6:30 pm
a drop in case of and and in sport with that joke of it's in support of naomi sciences division to withdraw from the friendship ah, hello, we're really dialing up the heats across the middle east. here are some of the highest temperatures i could find arafat saudi arabia, 48 degrees, best best route, iraq, 48 as well. but i think by the end of the week we could get up to 50. we do have a small wind coming down the gulf, so that's really swirling up the sand in dust. so dough her, some hazy conditions, $43.00, we could see the winds at about 50 kilometers per hour. and there we go. there is a potential 50 degree day for wage on friday, off to turkey where we're starting to see the rain shove out,
6:31 pm
but temperatures here are still quite cool. could still see some lingering showers and is stumble on thursday, but temperatures look 22 on friday. you should.
