d. c. at say this a you investigation. really, how comprehensive do you think it can be? the question will be, i think the level of access that the african union investigators get on the ground . i think they seem to have a fairly broad mandate sometimes as of what they're looking at. obviously there's been many reported a trusted potentially investigated it, difficult to integrate throughout has been getting information out of the out to the region. it's now easiest to get to, to great for about a terry an accident and journalists, for example. but it's not necessarily easy to get all over to grade and speak to the people that investigation needs to visit all the places they need to. so i think that's the sort of major outstanding question on the whole, you would welcome this investigation. yes, a crisis group, we would, we welcome all investigations,

all reporting event and to grey. the problem has been the lack of timely information coming out to the region. during this conflict about the type of suffering, the civilians have experience in all sorts of details about the fighting that we do not have. obviously, the african union has the potential to do an important piece of work here, which will add to our understanding of this, of this complex adding to your understanding. but whatever they do manage to find out whatever their findings are. what difference is it likely to make for 1st, the war is ongoing, the political dynamics that lead to the war very much in place. so if you use federal government, eritrea government, and also to, to great and rebel movement, a former leadership, they all seem fixated on trying to achieve a battlefield victory here, or at least defending themselves. so it's unlikely these types of investigators investigations will change those dynamics. and there's also

a big question mark over the issue of ultimate accountability here. even if whoever is found to be culpable for a trusted, maybe if that senior commanders or maybe governments because there was no clear process for accountability at the moment. so i think that is also something we will have to wait to see about getting the african union should be play more of a role beyond just the investigation. ideally, yes, the african union did name envoys to try and mediate early on in its crisis. but because the government led by partners beyond that has been fixated on that military victory. they have had no interest whatsoever. and negotiating with the need is a t gray. and that particular case that they remove those needed from office. and now of course, those need is amounting a sort of resistance from, from rural areas. you know, that's the problem. there is no interest in negotiation, but it would have been ideal to see the african union take a more assertive on what is undoubtedly massive threats to peace and security in

africa and huge the damaging for the civilians are becoming borrowed in this complex willing times and we appreciate that sir william davidson from the international crisis group. thank you. like on to me and where the violence continues videos posted on social media show most of chemo village in migrate region, but to the ground. villages accuse a minute trip far. we get them before butting nearly all 200 homes and cattle as well. on tuesday. may, locals had fled already after receiving a tip of the soldiers were looking for a group appraising. well, if you take over in february, well, memos, cru, any national defense for says that fighting in kaya state has started again breaking sci fi, meant to reduce conflict in the countries east. tens of thousands of people who fled the states taking refuge in count scattered across the regions forests. the un office of humanitarian affairs says the comes running short of food, and there is signs of disease spreading. tony chang reports from my home. so on. on

the time in my border this is some of the a that's been hastily pulled together by renting organization and time to be sent across the border. and to me and we're still more than a 100000 people sheltering from fighting with very little shelter themselves. i'm very little food or drinking water. they've got blankets here to protect them from the cold rain jackets. it's the monsoon season. the water medicine in here food up at the front, but also big plastic buckets for storing water in the cooking pot because they think those people are going to be there for some time. they have been some c spas announced in certain areas, but many people are reluctant to return home. those that have have found bodies lying in the streets where they were shot. many houses destroyed by heavy artillery fires set by me on mommy and a lot of people are concerned that we're seeing now is

a repeat of what the mommy did in the 990 s. when they conduct to the policy of sports, forcing the car, running out of their homes, burning everything behind them, and posting them across the border into thailand. a goalkeeper for me, most national team has refused to fly home off to playing in a football tournament in japan during a match. last month i raised a 3 finger protest salute against military coup. he says he won't go back until the pony the ang since she returns to pass the street became a resistance symbol during protests, against to take over. well, the 800 demonstrators have since been killed and thousands wounded in a military crackdown. got the negro hutchins on may 21st immigration services agency of japan approval. people from min more in japan can stay longer and we're here as an emergency measure for those concerned about the current situation in march. with regards to the football player, we will take appropriate measures by taking his wishes into account. well,

the south korean island of jazz you is to start testing for levels of radiation in local marine life ahead of japan's controversial release at tons of contaminated water into the ocean. the proposed solution to deal with a radioactive water from the stricken fukushima nuclear plant has drawn fits criticism from japan's neighbors. robert bride reports now from j to island in south correct. early morning, a juice, busiest fish market, and the last of the night's catch is brought ashore, bidding it the auction inside is brisk with much of this bass, destined for dinner tables across south korea. the industry provides a living for thousands here and the prospect of japan releasing water from its stricken fukushima nuclear power plants fills many with dread turns. and if the safety of the water can be completely verified, that it might be okay if not its gravely concerning. and we have to stop and since the 2011 earthquake and synonymy, the cripple, the fukushima plant,

water used to cool its react cause has been stored on site. the plants operators say it's been treated to remove virtually all contamination, leaving just one radioactive isotope. in such minute quantities, it poses no risk to health. the japanese government insists the release of the water is perfectly safe and is similar to routine discharges made by nuclear plants the world over. but as fishing communities around fukushima have found in the 10 years since the disaster, just the fear of radiation can devastate livelihood. the plan water release won't start for another 2 years, giving time for lawyers like j. c. moon. the 1st in south korea to file a lawsuit on the fishing communities behalf to try to make the japanese government think again, hunger will almost, if similar lawsuits are also filed in other parts of south korea and in district

courts across china. we believe it could be a considerable psychological and diplomatic pressure on japan. any legal challenges against a foreign government face an uphill battle, but they could be helped by data from this laboratory. it beginning to test for radiation to check against japan safety guarantees. in preparation for japan's release of contaminated water will be conducting tastes on fish caught off the coast and from fish, an island economically dependent on the waters that surrounded and now actively preparing for what many here consider a near responsible act that they hope won't come at all robert bride al jazeera, j, u island, south korea. the united states will soon have a new federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery. congress has voted to make what's known as june 13th on june, 19th and national holiday marks of date. when the last enslaved african americans

learned they were free to bill now goes to president joe biden, who's expected to sign it into law. i kinda has more from washington d. c. this bill has been on the table since last spring, that is a shortly after george floyd was murdered and they couldn't get enough support to pass the bullet that particular stage. but over the past year, this increasing traction and increasing attention to the racial divide within this country. and now this bill has sailed through congress. it was passed by the house with a massive vote. only 14 voting against all republicans. and then it went through the senate with unanimous vote. very seldom one sees any law going through the senate so easily or going through congress as a whole so easily. so what is remarkable about this is the fact that there has been

such a turn around within congress over the past year. doing once again, as i said, indicating that traction that has been gained in terms of a growing awareness about the race is situation in the united states and about something that must be done about it. so it is very significant in terms of that mocking a shift perhaps in public perception. and certainly it is something that african americans have long been demanding a car bomb inside a columbia military base is injured. 36 people, 3 of them critically. the government suspects the country's largest remaining rebel group was behind the attack. it happened in could go to town bordering venezuela and where several criminal groups operate drug trafficking routes. and it's under your post now from the top the. this is the moment, the 2nd 2 car bomb explosions that to needed at colombian, military base,

and google on the border with venezuela. that being a cloud of dense black smoke in the sky, at least 36 people were injured. on wednesday, one, colombian soldier remained in a serious condition in the intensive care unit to united states military personnel, part of a team of 11, assisting columbia military in anti drug trafficking operations, also sustained light injuries. colombian president the van duca visited the bass, calling the attack cowardly. he said the f b, i is participating in the investigation place to narrow complaints in, in a reward for a $135000.00 has been offered on the authors and persons responsible. so this is a criminal search group has been created to investigate and traced things. and i would like to thank our country's national police for the special support they have provided the f, b i of the united states in this person lives special investigation. look at this video shows the moment the suspected car bomb the entered the base to the main door

without much security screening the driver with able to get out and detected before the explosion. outdoor, it does say the national liberation army, or elaine columbia. the largest remaining rebel group, was likely behind the attack, but then exclude the participation of other groups. some of the former be rejected, reproduce this vile in terrorist act which sought to attack the soldiers of columbia. the initial hypothesis is that the e l. n is behind this demented and via the involvement of fog dissidence is also being investigated to the city of computers. located in an area where several arm groups are active fighting for control of tens of thousands of actors of coca planes, as well as control of an important smuggling route to venezuela. be stalks with a yellen were suspended back in 2019 when

a car bomb killed to 21. police cadets here in the capital vulgar. but the government a month ago announced a restart of an exploratory dialogue with the group. but if elaine is indeed behind this late, there's that back, it's unlikely that those stocks will continue. i listen that i'm just with the palestinians, married to foreign nationals, demanding israel, approve their residency permits. tens of thousands awaiting some for more than 2 decades. israel controls the population registry decides to get to palestinian id. it abraham reports from the palestinian side of the river jordan in the occupied west back. yeah. how do you know me do? bustling move from the occupied to us bank is asking her nice enjoyed and here at the jordan river, the family i meters apart. but been separated for years. luba damien citizen, moved to the west bank with her past indian husband 11 years ago since then she

her before she died. packet and i love a deadline. i told her it's not up to me. if i leave a won't be able to come back and i will lose my family. she's fed up of the weight and became a regular and protest. i mean, as part of the movement demanding time near unification, they're trying to block the street in the hope of getting them to her or risking the post dated by coming as they passed through different from cities in the west bank for them to be a bar during negotiations with the house pinion is really loud. reunification to thousands of families royal deal with this file as a political issue. but it's our right amount of the signed agreements allow us to

a husband dug up a huge crystal light stowed in a small village in the province. of course, he didn't tell her it says this report, the patricia hunt like no was celebrating the discovery of an identified stain that thousands of people here believe are worth a fortune. but i hadn't seen or touched a diamond in my life. is the 1st time touching it here. i hope this will make a difference at home because we really struggling. so i hope things will be better, you know, tell them, but i'm just pick it shovels, buckets, and a great deal of determination. and so i found and ease of travel from across south africa to the small village of quality to find their share of what looked like cloudy stones. the search began last weekend when a herdsman made the 1st discovery, a large crystal like stone, that spot which has been done the diamond brush with thousands of people joining in

the hope of securing a better future. because this means our lives will change because no one had a proper job. i do odd jobs. when i returned home with them, the family was really overjoyed to some of those digging already selling their fines, hoping to make quick money with the starting price of $14.00. also, this will really help the community. we hope crime will come to an end, especially crimes against women. because the youth do all these things because of unemployment. south africa economy has suffered for a long time with millions of people living in poverty. and unemployment rising to a record high of more than 32 percent and crime rates offering with the highest rates of cave. at 19 infections in africa, the government phase, the russia more than a 1000 people could help spread the virus. it's awesome to leave the area and a sense team of geologists to find out if the stones are clamoring for really all precious diamond certified. and just ahead heard out 0 in
