hello braces, but it comes at a time when relations with the west on the increasing strain and the g 7 countries looking to countess china is growing engine around the world. follow all the detailed analysis on algebra. i us express it, hope for peace and if you, if you have other and t gray region, but regional fighters are gaining ground after rejecting a government sees fire. ah, they're watching all your life for my headquarters in delphi. i'm getting obligated also ahead and didn't even say they're struggling to afford oxygen cylinders. this price is double following your sturgeon corona virus cases. a record heat waving canada killed dozens, with temperatures touching 50 degrees celsius. the complex issue of police reform. she lays governments on there is a plan to reduce abuse that activists are skeptical about the changes.

ah, hello, thanks for joining us. the united states is calling for all sides and ethiopia as conflict and to grow, to commit to a cease fire and allow deliveries of humanitarian aid. the to grow people's liberation front says it's now when complete control of the regional capital mckelly. that's happened a day after a few years government declared to cease fire, which the t p i left described as a joke. u. s. congressional committee on foreign affairs has been hearing evidence on the violence in the region. she returns the reports from washington, d. c. the budget ministration expressed cautious hope, but peace may be enduring following the seaside, declared by the government into crime. but there was a warning about human rights abuses and a commitment that the u. s. would act if it was judged that efforts toward a political settlement were being hampered. we will not stand by in the face of

horrors. in grey though robert go deck did not elaborate throughout the congressional hearing ethiopians position as a key us ally. and the region was emphasized even as witnesses and them. as a congress outlined the abbey, a government's responsibility for human rights abuses and malnutrition. if i leave you with one thing today, it is that usa believe famine is likely already occurring. and ethiopia here chairman of florida fast committee was emphatic. but we are sick and falling into gray bears the hallmarks of crimes against humanity. a quite possibly a genocide. but if you're, if you're is seen as key to the u. s. as strategic objectives in africa, i'm mixed him put his criticism of the prime minister prospects for a durable piece. and if you and it's wrote as a responsible regional leader. now in question, as is prime minister the abi legacy on the ground to ground forces the t p l f said

they had the regional capital mckelly fully under that control. and there were celebrations in the town of mid report that eric trend troops had left a t p. i left also about to push south and east to consolidate its position. notably, it has not. and so far, the u. s. is treading carefully, washington has been trying to preserve all options with respect to its engagement with, with they've been trying to use diplomatic persuasion up to this point to get the government to relent. it's sort of pursuit of total victory in gray. they have not been successful in, in that conversation, but they have withheld some of the most biting sanctions that the united states has . sanctions related to the human rights abuses that have gone on at the hands of b, o. b, in government troops and their allies in the region. it's clear that the biden administration wants to keep if you can government close,

especially as china extends its reach across africa. but there are reports that some members of congress will be keeping a close eye on. prime minister, abba is actions, especially as they way the u. s. is foreign a to budget she ever times the al jazeera capitol hill in north korea is leader has replaced several top officials after what he called a grave lapse in corona virus prevention. qindzhong accused them of incompetence, saying the unspecified incident had caused a major crisis north korea close at border in january last year to defend itself against code 19 and hasn't reported any cases. rob mcbride has more from the south korean capital, sol, a, he singled out a number of senior officials saying that they had neglected their duty in fighting the pandemic. i, but we don't know whether this means there has been some kind of outbreak or

whether it refers to other measures, such as in the supply of food or economic measures that were meant to be implemented in fighting the pandemic that he was referring to. but certainly it seems to be failings that are enough to get you to lose your job. several, the senior officials, we know, have been fired according to the north korean central news agency. and it comes, of course, is north korea claims. famously, it hasn't had a single case of kobe 19. it has virtually sealed itself off from the outside world since the beginning of the pandemic. that in turn has had huge economic consequences. we know that combined with storms debit devastated the harvest last year. the country is facing food shortages in the coming months, and of course it remains extremely vulnerable to the a corona virus. we, that has not been as far as we know, any kind of vaccination rollout. it has a rickety health care system that would be hard pushed to deal with any kind of

outbreak. so as far as south korean officials can detect and surmise, looking at what's happening in north korea without knowing exactly what this incident is, it does seem to be that can jungle facing all of the myriad problems and crises really trying to stamp internal discipline that asserted authority, as he deals with these critical times, prices of oxygen have more than doubled and the engine is in capital. that's where a surgeon current of those cases is left hospitals overflowing, the red cross is warning. if a coven 1900 catastrophe, and calling for an urgent increase in testing and vaccinations, more contagious variance are being blamed for the rise in cases. just washington is joining us from jakarta. so reports of hospitals filling up how bad is the situation there? jessica green things have reached their most critical point yet, according to innovation doctors, we know that some hospitals in the entities and capital,

but elsewhere in java as well are all ready at 100 percent capacity. some have even gone beyond that and taking patients as many patients as they can, but have to resort to having patients in their waiting rooms in the lobby in the hallways because there simply isn't enough room in emergency room for all of the patient coming in. it's what also bearing in mind that even before cove at 19 indonesia health care system has long been underfunded and overstretched and there has long been a shortage of health care workers. so there are concerns about how this 2nd wave will manifest when the virus is expected. to peek later in july, we are of course, as you mentioned, seeing demand in the price, the demand for oxygen cylinder is going up. and as you mentioned, the price more than doubled and that doesn't get point to a shortage in oxygen. but it does point to the shortage in hospital beds,

many patients, many critically ill patients have been rejected from hospitals because doctors say there is simply no room for them. and as a result, they must resort to isolating at home even if they are critically ill. and their relatives trying desperately to source oxygen cylinders for them. but as you mentioned, as demand increases, so to does the price and just go the recalls for a stronger stress restrictions to be implemented, any response to the so far? that's right. those cold have been around for a long time. as you can see behind me, i'm in the city center. the most are open this traffic. it looks like the situation is normal, but that's certainly not the case when you see what it's like in a hospital or even in the cemetery, which are also filling up. and they have been these calls from health care workers with strict restrictions to come into effect. there are some reports that that may happen on saturday,

but it remains to be seen whether those restrictions will go far enough because hospital work is say that the health care system here, in particular, the public health test system is on the brink of collapse. jessica washington reporting from chicago. thank you. police in western canada are reporting an increase in sudden death, softer record breaking heat wave in parts of north america. dozens of people have died in the vancouver area alone since friday. most of them are elderly. the temperature has soared to nearly 50 degrees celsius. that's an old time records center. mont, again reports. even in summer, canada isn't used to this kind of heat. people are doing whatever they can to stay cool. some blocked the beaches. others are stocking up and bottled water in british columbia, less than 40 percent of homes, of air conditioning, and demand for new units has skyrocketed. many in the region have never experienced

anything like it. we do get here from time to time every summer. summer's have been getting hotter, but you know, it's never this body. we've never experienced anything in the forty's in vancouver . dozens of people have died suddenly in the past few days, deaths that are being blamed on the heat wave of the schools, universities, and vaccination centers across the region are closed. the scorching temperatures are being linked to a so called heat dough were high pressure zones trap. the heat we're seeing happening with the atmosphere is very unusual pattern where there's been intense, high pressure cut off from the global circulation pattern. high pressure leads to sinking air and thinking air warms up, and we have this feature that's been cut off from the the circulation for a few days. that's the recipe for these dangerously high temperatures. regional leaders are growing connection between the unprecedented temperatures and the threat of climate change. in this instance, i think the that the big lesson coming out of the past number of days is that the

climate crisis is not a fiction. that is absolutely real. and if you look, i had a briefing from the wildfire service yesterday and again today the entire west coast of north america from baja to alaska is red, hot and awaiting what could be at another catastrophic fire season. just ahead of us as lightning starts to come into the equations authorities in canada and the u. s. are urging people to stay indoors, drink water, and check in on vulnerable friends and relative. the heat is expected to continue throughout the week, and more records could be broken in the coming days. bins and martin al jazeera still had an al jazeera find out why rice, farmers and bangladesh are angry and say they need a bailout from the government. and is really settlers have reportedly agreed to leave a flash point to the occupied westbank. that's like 2 weeks of palestinian process .

ah. hello there, thunderstorms and showers a dominating europe this week. but the heat is still there, particularly across southern areas, but it's been knocked out of western russia. this was a scene in moscow. the streets were flooded by torrential rains. we had gale force winds, and it's a very different picture of them. what we saw earlier this month, we had record heat. the. the rain is going to continue as we go towards the weekend though, it does dry up and it's still a very wet picture of essential and north west in areas of yours. we've got that swirling weather system, bringing with it some very wet weather and thunderstorms all the way from eastern areas of france to poland. and that falling system is going to move further east as we go into thursday, from sharp showers on the way for switzerland as well as hungry and the balcony.

seeing some rather wet weather under re downpours there. but the heat is still on. and if we look to grease the 3 day in athens, we're going to see 40 degrees hit by the time we get to thursday. so lots of sunshine in clear skies. and it's a similar story for the i barian peninsula, spain and portugal, seeing a lot of that warm weather that the temperatures are going to be slightly down from what we expect. and it's a cooler picture for morocco rebec coming in with $25.00 degrees celsius. the ah, the world needs to be good. who left the middle east and built remarkable life finding success in germany and the united states. yet never forgetting that homelands of iraq and palestine. inspiring human stories around the world.

the designer and the atomic scientists are now just here. oh, a fellow again, the stories on al jazeera, the thought were the united states is calling on all sides in this conflict and to grow, to commit to a cease fire and allow humanitarian aid in the t p 4. so say they're now in control of the regional capital makella prices of oxygen have more than doubled the in denise in capital, where a surgeon current of ours cases is not hospitals overflowing. the red cross is warning of a cobra. 1900 catastrophe. police in western canada reporting an increase in sudden

death, softer record breaking, keep wave of north america. at least 65 people have died in the vancouver area since friday, most of whom were elderly in bangladesh. 1000. just hector, the thrice crops have been wiped out by heath. low humidity are not enough rain. climate experts are warning the phenomenon could threaten food supplies to re child re reports from next. recall. now bangladesh faces increasingly extreme weather due to climate change. and recently, a sudden sharp heat wave destroyed more than 68000 hackers of rice crop, affecting more than 300000 farmers. mohammed sidle had expected to earn enough for him and his family to survive the year on the rice he cultivated. but now his crop is gone. one moment, there was this hot wind that lasted for several hours at night time. by morning the entire cropping, this wetlands area was wiped out. now there is nothing for us to survive on. i

can't express it in words. and so far we haven't had any help from the government despite their promises. officials say farmers have received help with the local agriculture office has conducted a field. so they made the list of the effective people and we started discussing wanting to them through mobile phone apps as 8 provided by the government. but many farm. i say that the list were made and handed out by local politicians and they never received any help. thousands of farmers across buying that that's like here in that's kind of districts have lost their rights crops due to a sudden heat stress in recent months. many on the word how to pay back their loans and to make their hands made 60 year old farmer rather than say's he hasn't seen anything like this in his lifetime. of course someone's vertical. so i had to borrow money from the agree bank to grow the rice. i was very hopeful i'd be able to make some money and pay back the loan, but suddenly it's all gone. i'm not sure how i'm going to manage things. now.

scientists say a heat wave reaching as high as 36 degrees celsius and high speed dry winds were responsible for the damage they say hardy or varieties of rice or devil up to withstand the changes in weather conditions, climate change that got only a heat. the heat stress is due to climate change. it's something very new to us. though we have observed this before on a very minimal scale. but the scale of damage this year is huge. we think the damage could become worse in the future. bangladesh is the world's biggest rice producer, signed is worn. the recent rise in temperatures linked to global warming is making rice crops, particularly vulnerable, and could threaten for security in many countries to and we charge a, i'll get it on nets or kona bangladesh. there has been violence between police on protesters in a palestinian neighbourhood of occupied east jerusalem after is really forces demolished. a local butcher shop more

than a dozen people were injured, including 2 officers around 20 properties in the area. are threatened with demolition and is really court says they don't have the necessary permits. the palestinian se documents are impossible to obtain. well, un is urging israel to stop the demolition. we're obviously following these recent developments in east jerusalem, including in the booster neighborhood extremely closely. the secretary general is indeed deeply concerned by the continued demolitions. he once again reiterates his call to the israeli authorities to end demolitions and evictions in line with israel's obligations under international humanitarian and international human rights law. well, israel has reportedly reached the deal with settler as for an illegal outpost in the occupied westbank that triggered the protests by palestinians. the area to our,

our post near nablus was built last month without the permission of israeli authorities. a land palestinian say is privately owned, under the agreement, the army will take it over. but settlers say they expect they'll be able to return . drawer at cas is in is really research or who leads a group documenting the illegal construction of settlement. and i'll post in the occupied westbank. he showed al jazeera stephanie decker, how they've been growing, and why they've been criticized as a government backed land grab. the worst thing has had changed completely in to 20 years. in terms of number of settlers, in terms of areas which settlers are defective control, and this is the some of the elite which was established 20 or less than 25 years ago. right. and since van is growing, and today it's population is around $70000.00 people and for people to understand

settlement an outpost. what's the difference? well, the usually silman refers to use really is very summers which are officially approved by visual government. and there's really opened or is very settlements, which had been billed also by the way, the government, but we've out officially approved both summons, most type of stone and are actually out there in order to achieve a same goal, which is to judy eyes growing partner with back, how would you describe that policy apart loops? so what do we see on that hill over there? this is one out of around 40 new holding ells, which were established in the last decade. and it was back was hurting out here to help with one family perhaps with you youngsters, work or is coming and is basically taking over huge area palestinians who cross certain certain pop point. you can see the valley down there,

still going up your and expose immediately to massive island or cetera. everything is backed by the minister. of course, the minute there is protect them. major, protect them all the time. and you've been doing this for you said almost 2 decades . is this has this increase actually during the trump administration years. okay. these are the years where the crucial years in terms of geographical expansion, service road going to be a new axis road. this is a new excess road to us to a new part of a, something right now this settlement for him and, but there are there been united housing in our course? of course, i mean no one else does this where it was very young people and they don't get permit to work in israel. so the bigger picture in terms of what you've observed, what you've documented, settlement expansion over time, how would you describe that? so we've seen the left, the are the one of the one of the biggest in terms of construction which we haven't so much construction happening actually since i don't want to going,

we not only will construction in film very, very expensive and infrastructure projects which are being building with being in the last year, we haven't seen for weapons and been billed for for decades since actually offline . the prison infrastructure had been exhausted in order to bring hundreds of thousands of new settlers into we've rented, someone was saying, we need to extend the infrastructure, really more water. we need more roads, we need more, more telecommunication infrastructure. so a palestinian state would stay written on the land. and then when i'm done, is there a nature of it will be very noble since they've been within the course over stephanie decor, jazeera in the occupied westbank protests against the palestinian authority are expected later on. one day after the death of
