6:06 pm
nothing will change. volumes will continue to die. last december un investigators told the un security council that they suspect molly and defense and security forces of committing war crimes killing those they are meant to protect with arm groups to intensifying attacks. this has led costs on wondering who to trust and whether they can be any peace in molly anytime soon. in order to re establish this trust between the military rule and the malia and population, a new prime minister with announce sugar. my god, he is the leader of the n 5 movement who last year led these demonstrations on the streets of the capital by my co against former president tater is a controversial figure of a former minister under k to a former minister under the previous president. he's a controversial, controversial figure because he wants to. he says that the algae are peace accord
6:07 pm
that was signed between arm groups in 2015 is obsolete that you are in for like the to really a german, this at the time. well, mostly mean and these from the state and the greater so her or some of the are groups that perhaps the money in authority should engage in dialogue with. and that's something that the french who have more than 5000 troops on the ground do not want to see president emmanuel. my call last sunday made an interview on, on french newspaper thing. they will never be friends troops on the ground with a military gentle and hands with a civil in authority that wants to negotiate with any arm groups. so give them i go in the last week has been meeting some of those that have signed the algiers agreement, notably to, to our, our groups in the north trying to reassure them. because he had been very critical that the tour eggs were taking too much space, too much room in the government of molly. and so the difficult place in
6:08 pm
which he is to try to satisfy both the international actors here, the french, the un forces, the arm groups. but most importantly, the malia and people who are suffering the most from the ongoing insecurity and ongoing attacks that are taking place in this country. very. okay, thank you so much. nicholas hock, for that reporting from bama co. let's not speak to emmanuel quincy and who's the director of research at the cofi and on international peacekeeping training center . he's joining us from across thanks for your time with us and al jazeera, so the, the new president in his speech and at the swearing in ceremony, said that he will honor regional and international commitments. he also hold credible as well as transparent elections. was he speaking more to a domestic audience or was his message geared more towards the international community? nothing quite to have spoken with 2 tongues consistently. one message is to the
6:09 pm
milan, people in which he presents himself as the see, be capable of bringing peace stability and also some form of the allotment. at the same time he's consistently sought to appease and switch the sense and the suspicion. so call me m b. he does this through saturday out style. he came crab during the 1st time in his military cheese. jenkins to suit left. the conference center visited the late mister rawlings about one of the most charismatic military leaders on this continent. and it is almost like a repeat of what happens in ghana sometime in 1979. they're about, you know, so why is the man who gets in catchy practice? right?
6:10 pm
it is his 2nd time this year that he's grad power in molly, what is his ultimate goal for me is what's mid goal is to civilian i see so. so my suspicion is i've come next to you. if you're worried at 2022, he's going to he's going to regularize his rule and he will test out just to be the president and give him francis reaction. in particular, it's suspended cooperation with the molly and military and also ecolog suspended molly over this qu what impact is not going to have on board? so is going to have a very minimal and i think the russians are all around knocking to get entry in to my the and i think it's really a better strategy more by france to do what was close. there was a lot the lot right from the way go by reading of the rules and protocols and
6:11 pm
conventions. mr boy says having this time, she's regina polls that member states must feed to and comply with that those principles apply it consistently across the board. likewise, they will update. i mean we've seen, mentioned for me to accept what happened in chad. it made the same kind of noises and i sent a signal to mr. but it didn't harm either. people are not talking about it that's for that's molly and chad. and what about the sending to congress? the west? yeah. speaking of the wider countries and the security situation, not only in molly, but also the region, are you concerned about a possible deterioration of the security in this a hell with this uncertainty?
6:12 pm
i'm really better saying precisely because the attention center and frustrations across the sub region that are very similar to what that's led to me quite to go viral. and then i thought only about reading instructions that mr. white is about members of the co insurance. then they begin to plan more inclusive dialogic politics that will use some of the sense of the t me population. why is that on employed or need to keep and do i'll see it up in the future. thank you so much for speaking to us from cra, we appreciate your time. thank you. so now 2 trains have collided in southern pakistan. send province killing at least 40 people, but the death tolls likely to arise with dozens injured and others still trapped. prime minister him on con, said he was shocked by the accident and his cold for an inquiry. alexi o'brien
6:13 pm
reports heavy machinery works to lift the mangled wreckage at the 2 train and cause a path to rescue survivors. cruise toil in the blazing summer heat, offering any support they can to those still track the but it took hours for the equipment to get to the hockey and a remote part of pakistan and province where fields turned and to make shift. hospitals and bodies were lined up on the soil su oppression. daddy, i just know my boss. i mean, dive on venus, you can see that the rescue operation is going on with soldiers from the military rangers, district administration, personnel and health tombs are taking part. the accident happened after the coaches of a northbound train derailed and fell across the opposite track. a packed southbound train plowed into them the driver of that train told local media had seen that the railed cars and tried to break but couldn't. when yada yada,
6:14 pm
in the train was going towards punjab collapsed and the tranquil side that was coming from punjab collided with it. 7 to 8 rail carriages were destroyed. many passengers still trapped. huge crowds of people gathered around the cottage, some climbing on top to reach survivors and body. thousands of people were taken to hospital many and the critical condition. prime minister iran, kansas. he shocked by the accident and promised a full inquiry into what happened. so final authorities haven't ruled anything out including sabotage, but rail accidents, a common and pakistan with a network st decades of decline, blamed on corruption mismanagement and a lack of investment. at least 75 people died when a train caught fire while traveling from karachi to rome. kennedy, 2 years ago, the 19 people died and 2016 when a passenger train crashed into another. the information ministers tweeted v as
6:15 pm
a plan for a revamped rail system and that it's a priority for the government. alex here brian al jazeera israel's parliament will vote on whether to approve a new government by june. the 14th the speaker of the can assets, whole numbers. the session will be held in the next 7 days. and bill vote on a cross party coalition led by centrist, yay, or lepage? it brings together 8 parties from across the political spectrum. they want to unseat prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who's been in power for 12 years. very faucet is joining us from west teresa them. so how is this vote likely to go? what will happen next? well, it depends on some extent to on exactly when this vote is going to take place and that's what everyone was waiting to hear from the nathan yahoo! ally, who is the speaker? these are the parliament the can as it would. it happened on wednesday, the earliest reasonable day to could happen,
6:16 pm
or would it be right up until the deadline next monday. the 14th? well, he didn't say he said that it would happen sometime by that monday. so that leaves his and by extension, that yahoos options open to try to call the vote. at the most suitable time, there is a big operation by ness and yahoo and his party and his allies more broadly to try to splinter away at the coalition as it's trying to form up. there is one, suppose it weak link as far as they're concerned in the party of natalie bennett, who would be the 1st prime minister in a rotational deal. his you mean a party, but that member near or near or back has apparently, according to one report, said to his friends that he intends to vote with the change block. and he has been under extreme pressure both publicly and also in terms of social media, even up to the point of death threats. and that kind of atmosphere is something that the opposition need to. yeah, i la, he'd,
6:17 pm
he referenced in his remarks earlier on monday. i mean not honing these past few days, prove just how much we need change. it's a leadership uses violence and incitement against connected members against their children, against the very essence of the democratic process. and then we need change if our political culture is based on live and the threat and hatred of ara systems and hatred of left wingers and hatred of right. wingers who don't hate arabs and left with enough then yes, we need change when we've brought change. we've brought about change and we're proud of in the event. so ya paid the referencing the kind of tensions within the israeli political class. but of course there are more broad tensions security tensions as particularly around jerusalem. and in the aftermath of the conflict between israel and hamas in gaza, the decision to potentially have a re run of a right wing flag march through the heart of the old city, unoccupied,
6:18 pm
east jerusalem that was supposed to have taken place on the 10th of may to mark the seizure of east jerusalem in 1967, the beginning of the occupation that was cancelled at that point. because that was the day of extreme high tension and violence that ended in the launching of rockets from garza towards 0 them in the beginning of that military escalation. and so the organizes that wanted to have it a month later this coming thursday, while the situation remains extremely fragile and delicately balanced. well, the security establishment, the police, so that they couldn't use that route designed to go to the old city through the muslim quarter through damascus gate because of the potential flashpoints both within the old city and far beyond. hamas has celebrated the decision to cancel this march because the organizers said that they would not succumb to having their route changed. one of the leading members of that, organizing group a right wing, religious nationalist member of parliament,
6:19 pm
he said that it is so coming to tara in return by not going through with it, but i think more broadly, many people will be reading, assign release at this next particularly, potentially very volatile occasion has so far been averted. ok, thank you so much. harry faucet, reporting from western once more had on the officer and his hour, including a close presidential race and peru. right, when candidates take a few more, a lead is narrowing with over 90 percent of the votes. now counted, we look at why india the federal government is taking charge of distributing current virus vaccine. and ukraine shirt for the euros cause the thing to promote, expected russia. peter will have that story and much more coming up later in sport . ah.
6:20 pm
but 1st, the us vice president commer harris is meeting guatemala presidents as part of a regional effort to address the root causes off migration. so she's expected to announce measures to combat smuggling and human trafficking. she'll also visit mexico during her 1st foreign trips and coming to office, there is a surge of people arriving at the southern us border and many of them from central america. let's bring in manuel rep. hello. he's joining us from the guatemala mexico border. manuel. so what are the guatemalans expecting out of this trip by the vice president? commonly, harris guatemalans are very much aware that this trip is going on. there's a lot of anticipation over what it's going to mean, but i do want to give you a sense of where we are. give our viewers a better look at what's going on behind. because this is the su chapter river. i'm going to step out of the frame for just a 2nd so that you can have a little bit of
6:21 pm
a better look at what's going on. this is a natural border between guatemala and mexico. and what you're seeing is more or less an average day merchants moving back and forth between the true 2 countries moving goods. and while most of these people are merchants, this is also a very popular crossing point for migrants. and this represents one of the biggest challenges for the bite administration's plan to curb migration, because this is a very porous border, very little police, little to no police presence if anything. and i'm going to give you a look at, at the, the national paper here. it reads j got coming to harris, the arrival of vice president, common le harris. and one of the things, as you mentioned already, that the united states is promising and strategizing is a crackdown not only on smuggling, but also on human trafficking. but this by no means represents the only challenge the united states efforts to curb migration take a look. mendez family are doing chores around their home. the water for the
6:22 pm
meals are having this evening arrived directly to their home thanks to a community water project funded in part by the united states agency for international aid and development or usa id running water has been a life changing upgrade for the family would have to come up with a company, i think life has changed because we now have water. we used to have to go all the way down to the hill collected. but all, thanks to god, we now have our own water. across guatemala, impoverished communities have received billions of dollars in aid from the united states over the years. money aimed at improving economic conditions and discouraging migration from the country. despite these efforts, poverty has only worse and stuff in it than mingles. an expert on economic development says the solution isn't as simple as pouring more money at the problem when the layout is 1000 nielsen by the truth is the united states is the country that provides the most support to what model in the 3 countries of northern central america, the problem is that no international cooperation is going to substitute the need to
6:23 pm
establish functional public institutions for the development of democracy. that is a task that is ultimately up to the guatemalan government. so some critics argue that international aid has fallen short of creating true economic stability. it doesn't mean that development projects have failed from this central water tank. 95 percent of homes in 5 different indigenous communities now have access to clean water. the hope of development workers is that projects like these can be replicated across all of guatemala. in the village of lp sat, the community leaders to see the key to making international development projects like these successful is to make them sustainable. therefore, we've received training on sustainability by usa id so that people can be more autonomy because one day the donors will leave our community. now we know how to maintain a healthy water supply. us president joe biden has pledged $4000000000.00 to the governments of water molla honduras, and l salvador. to expand on programs like that,
6:24 pm
the septic community water project, it shows they are the positive impact. the program is having on the health and livelihoods of residence. is clear what's uncertain is if the bite and strategy will succeed, where previous plans have fallen short and create the economic conditions necessary for central america's poorest families to truly thrive. now we've known for some time that the bite in plan to curve migration from central america is a departure from the strategies and policies of his predecessor, donald trump. now, on the one hand, this visit by us vice president comma le harris to guatemala does represent a sort of re establishing of that relationship between the united states and the governments of central america under the guise of multilateralism. but what we're hearing overwhelmingly from development experts here in guatemala, specifically, is that ultimately it is up to the guatemalan government to make sure that for an aide isn't last to corruption. to make sure that that's government, that democratic institution ality doesn't lose it's legitimacy. and without that,
6:25 pm
no amount of foreign aid is going to solve the problems that are forcing people in central america, specifically countries like water mala, honduras, and salvador to risk their lives fleeing north for the united states. god, it's ok. thank you so much, my rap hello for that reporting from the guatemala border less will talk, in fact, are expected to focus on the so called northern triangle countries and central america. those are guatemala, honduras, and el salvador. so most people in the region either live in poverty or they work in the informal sector, leaving them without support or protection. the current of ours pandemic has made their situation even worse. many are now fleeing to escape crime and corruption. el salvador and honduras have the highest homicide rates in the world. and in 2014, the obama administration gave $750000000.00 to address the root causes of migration and the northern triangle. in 2019 that aid was frozen by donald trump. and now
6:26 pm
president joe biden wants to increase it to $4000000000.00. let's now see to william laurence is a professor for international relations at the american university. he's joining us from washington. thanks for your time with us on al jazeera so, couple of harrison's press secretary has said that she is picking up where the ben vice president joe biden left off when he himself worked on this portfolio under the obama administration. but how do you think this time is this time and far going to be different than the attempt by previous us administrations and what's your sense of what we can actually expect from district? well, let me say that these problems are long term structural problems that take years to solve, but it's much better to do something out of your excellent report indicated them to not do something. and so it's great that kind of harris and president biden has negotiated this new package of assistance, including another $300000000.00 for our senior leaf and got relief and then
6:27 pm
a whole suite of new cooperative packages. and they'll be several announcements related to that over the coming days, because you have to maintain the both with the border issues, whether in some improvements, despite the surge and the systemic issues and some of the migrant headed for the border. and that's the right approach. and finally, getting that reestablished in terms of come a harris, she had friction with the president to guatemala. he did the interview over the weekend and what she was critical for approaches including her focus on corruption, which is of course connected to the development issue. but this is pamela harris. developing more foreign policy chops is the priority of the, by the ministration to allow her to have them to lead on one of the issues in preparation for 21 either 2020 or election. i'm so far so good. she, she's doing all the right thing, thing, all the right things and getting some diplomatic practice. it's very hard sometimes for politicians to get, you know, sometimes you have to be publicly conciliatory and privately tough. and that's
6:28 pm
something that should be practicing during this trip. right. but how would you define success of this trip when it would obviously take some time to see the results of this diplomacy by common harris and the investment that she's putting forward. so for example, the president of mala had wants to start extradition of narco traffickers and other criminals to us court. that's something they get out of the nelson on new law enforcement and judicial cooperation which hasn't been. and now that's something they can cooperate on. the president of the 2 primary issues is narco traffickers and their dilatory effects on guatemala doris. and i'll start with something we haven't really done that well on. so on that, let's see, law enforcement, security side of the coin is where we've had the least progress. where on the pure economic developmental side the pandemic in the back. seeing that things related to climate change, drought, and much more progress from a law enforcement side. i think it's where they could have the most important gains
6:29 pm
go. look at me, republicans over in the u. s. are saying that the administration needs to do much more to stem the flow of migrants and in fact, april saw pretty high numbers. in fact, record numbers of migrants trying to come across over into the u. s. so how much political pressure is the administration under uncommon, harris, herself to, to stem the flow of migrants political pressure and the republicans are right about the issue. even if they're politicizing it often it's unfair wait. but what's happened is that the bible ministration implemented a humane policy. there's been basically children at the border are going to be treated humanely and integrated into distance and us and into their families. a lot of my relatives united states. and that's what created the search at the prison. i want them all of that because these were routing, literally the day the policy was and now, so the u. s. has to do much better job at the border, particularly in regards to,
6:30 pm
to how children are treated and to that and the us, i think it's run now $30000.00 advertisements, northern tribal countries to try to stem the flow is trying to be clear on which children will be repeating petri to backwards those countries in mexico and it's trying to reduce the flows right now. we have a tremendous surge and it's really nobody's fall under international. you have to children, you mainly as we saw recently between whirlpool insane and you really have to separate up the children. but that create new supply migration issues that have to be dealt with in an intelligent way. and a lot of that's about, as you said, economic development and proper message. all right, thank you so much for speaking to us from washington d. c. william lawrence. so heads on the news, our tribal leaders in namibia call for reparations from germany for colonial era genocide. and.
