. joe biden has been time changed for the crisis is expected to meet leaders of weiss and face to discuss ways to minimize disasters including forest fires. the high temperatures have been linked to dozens of deaths in western canada. most of them seniors, the country, has recorded its highest have a temperature of nearly 50 degrees celsius you and whether expose, say, very high temperatures are concentrated over one large area, creating a pressure cooker effect. this would usually be pushed away by the fast moving winds of the jet stream. but event happening this time in a moment will be speaking to our white house correspondent, kimberly how about praise, of inviting speech. but 1st think and monahan begins coverage with this report. even in summer, canada isn't used to this kind of heat. people are doing whatever they can to stay cool. some flop the beaches. others are stalking up on 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 when you 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 and 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 dome, where 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. we have this feature that's been cut off from the the circulation for a few days. that's the recipe for these days. usually high temperatures. regional

leaders are drawing connection between the unprecedented temperatures and the threat of climate change. in this instance, i think the, 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 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. benton monahan al jazeera or let's speak to olivia call noah barber's his spokesperson for greenpeace, canada, and join to advise car from montreal. very good to have you with us only view these

high temperatures in western canada and the pacific northwest and united states are being blamed on what's called a heat dome, a high pressure system, which is not uncommon, i understand in the summer. but why have the temperature has been exceptionally so high? what's behind a heat wave of this magnitude? well 1st i'd like to express our, our sincere prayers and thoughts for communities and families. i have lost one through this crisis. and to your question, i'd say it's not unusual down heat waves, but what we're seeing is an increase in the, the veracity of these heat wave and the frequency of them. so this heat dome is really a new terminology we've had on climate science where there's the high pressure air that's culminating above the whole north america at this point right now. and we're not seeing the general jet streams that would push away these, these heat waves. and so with the combination of what we're seeing with science and

scientists are saying more and more climate change. it's exasperating these extreme weather situations. and so this, this is the situation we're facing today. why it's more unusual is we haven't seen these high temperatures ever at this point in time. yes, just to clarify, this is then due to a combination of weather effects and climate driven warming. you're saying from the studies what we're seeing, what the wildfires we've seen the last few years in, in canada are linked to climate change. heat waves are now linked to climate change . this is what the scientists are saying. and we've seen really an increase over the decades of heat up to up to 3 degrees in winter from, from traditional and up to 1.5 degrees celsius in summer. so indeed, these are being linked to climate change, making it worse than what we would usually have. tell us more about the d facts it's having on, on people in their lives. of course have been the deaths the unfortunate death in

canada. but over the years, what impact has it had on, on people and the environment in that region? what in the region generally, where what we're seeing for climate change is the northern countries. what the studies are saying northern countries are, are facing twice the effects of climate change or the decline changes hitting point as fast. and so we're seeing lifestyle change, livelihood being impacted, wildlife, seeing their traditional routes being affected. as glaciers have disappeared or melted lot of the northern communities are no longer have access to cross frozen rivers that were there before. and this impacts many things in terms of wildlife, accessing the land that they need is the same with communities. there's a lot of mental health issues tied to this because we've seen in the last few years, the force fires with the smog that has accumulated over, not just days, but weeks and months, eventually have an impact on our, our physical health and our mental health. and we going to see these extreme,

eventually you become more frequent, or is there any way that we can reverse the trend? well, what, what we're saying at this point right now is really an increase. what we have to do is if we don't stop the greenhouse gas emission, but we set ourselves up to do currently the sign to saying we're going to see heat wave 10 time more heat waves in canada and to time and more of these torrential rainfalls. and so there's only an increase, a frequency, and the, the, the green of intensity will only increase with time. so the normal is not longer today and the normal, the only changes for time, because of the cumulative impact we're seeing from the decades of missions. thank you. so much for talking to us about this. thank you for inside olivia call. most folks freshman for greenpeace in canada. joining us very and ice from on tree out. now parts of the us west coast are also feeling that he to, as we mentioned president biden. we'll be meeting shortly with officials to discuss

response efforts that's bringing our white house correspondent, kimberly how get so kimberly joe biden made climate change a central part of his election strategy. what can we expect? what sort of response can we expect to this extreme weather in the west and us? yeah, western us, but also here in washington, d. c. folly, i'm talking to you from our air condition studios in d. c. because my outdoor workspace at the white house is simply unbearable to be working and right now, the temperatures are so high, it's so hot and so humid. so all of the united states is feeling this to a certain extent. but you're right. it is particularly bad in the pacific northwest that like vancouver british columbia and canada is not used to temperatures going above 30 degrees celsius and most cars don't have the air conditioning. most homes don't have air conditioning, so they're really having a lot of trouble. and what we're seeing is that it's not just an issue comfort, but it's also the u. s. president,

we believe is going to make the case that this is an x, a central prep because what we're seeing are wild farse fire seasons that are starting earlier. there lasting longer and they're more intense. so he's going to make the case that there needs to be a continued effort and push for infrastructure that is really rooted in clean energy in order to deal with what the president believes is a decision that has to be made now to protect future generations. so this is the message she's going to convey if you talk to the western governors, right, well, let's talk about the politics of all this now, because not everyone is on board even within his own party, the democratic party. how difficult has it been for present biden? to sell his climate policy well, despite these warm temperatures, the president has been faced with protests just outside of the white house gates. because many in his own democratic party say, we helped you get elected. you ran on board promises and you are not delivering.

and the reason they're saying this is the president has just struck a deal with republicans and he's fallen short. many democrats believe in terms of the promises on his info structure package. in other words, it's half the clean energy and charging stations that he promised. and that there is too much of a nod towards protecting jobs and the existing economy instead of investing in the new green economy that he promised. so this is a delicate dance that the u. s. president is fighting as he also is fighting the immediate effects of climate change here in the united states and north of the border. kimberly thank you for that. kimberly hawk it live in washington. going to more head on this news hour, including fighting for their rights brazil. indigenous schools wait to hear on whether land reserve for them will be opened up for commercial use. china is commerce. bonnie celebrates is 100 birthday. we'll hear how it's new outlook on foreign policy is seen at home and abroad at milwaukee new men as well as the game

people have and be action from the n. b fail coming up i guess now where they came and counterclaims about the fall lot from the conflict in te gray. the government says every tree and forces have now withdrawn from the region, but the rebels say they force the troops out. the t gray people's liberation front says it now controls the regional capital mckelly. the group has rejected the gulf when ceasefire, calling it a joke. the richard fighters have been supporting ethiopian military fighting rebels in the northern region for moderates. while the roots of the conflict between the national army and rebels in p gray go back to decades. the t grade people's liberation front or force, or

t p. a left dominated ethiopian politics when nearly 30 years and killed prime minister abbey made to power in 2018. abbey ordered a military operation against the group in t gray november after he said, in attack, federal army bases. he gray opposition party say more than 50000 people have been killed while the us says more than 350000 face the risk of famine. since november the t p l f has joined forces with article of cell form the t gray defense force. after months of regrouping and recruiting new fighters, they began a major counter attack towards the regional capital mckelly in recent weeks. katherine soy is joining us from now. we'll be keeping an eye on developments. ethiopia for a so claims in count claims as swift fed catherine from both sides. in this conflict, the government says if decision to withdraw from some parts of t, great strategic, that grand forces saying that push the government forces out what is the reality of the situation on the ground. as you understand yes, fully, there's been

a lot of back and forth accusations and contact your patients between both sides. we have hod from prime minister beyond med, who basically reiterated an audio government position on reasons why that if you look into how withdrawn from macedonia and other areas in p guy region as well. he says that this was a strategic decision that the troops have more important security moto to deal with, have more national external threats to deal with. he did not say what this thread towards or which this external forces were, but he said that the p d f. the, to get a defense forces are not anymore priority, not any more major threats. so the document is going to contain that with in tea gray. and if need be, than the military can very easily take control of makayla within 3 weeks. so this is something that has been denied by the spokesman of the t d. s. he says that what

the government say is saying is not true. that in fact, the european forces will forced out of machaela by 2 grand fighters. here is what the prime minister had to say. you know, a lot of people was shocked on monday when we started withdrawing from kelly. i'm sure you were also when we entered mckelly 7 or 8 months ago, it was because it was the center of gravity for the conflict. it was the center of a government with a center for known and unknown resources. by the time we x x, there is nothing special about it except that there are some $80000.00 people. and those people who looted it is lost, the center of gravity and the current context. and gathering of course, is not just the government forces versus the t p l f forces retreat into social involved and they've been recourse that they have started withdrawing from

t grey. what more do you know about that? well, here's the thing for me. much of this information is so hard to verify because communication integrate has been cut off. now the government has said that the reach and forces have withdrawn from the guy but proficiency of t p life. i've said this is not true. arlia. we spoke to the, the spokesman of t p l last. get to read out. who said that yes, there reach and forces are retreating, but they are now regrouping farther north. he said that the grand forces currently are also regrouping and reorganizing. and the focus now is on north and t grad, y one to push their retreat and forces out of that region. he told me that the grand forces will not rest until every inch of

t. good. i ease liberated. now the government officials will be hands saying that to t p alas, that the grand defense forces should not top themselves on the back too much because the military can very easily. we take this areas that it has withdrawn from saying that right now t p last and t d f. that degree in defense forces are not a priority at all. catherine, thank you for that. catherine soy lie for his fear in nairobi, while thousands of people from t grey fled into sir john to escape the recent fighting. he but morgan is joining us now from god. a reef on the border between saddam and the field. tell us about how the refugee seems to don have reacted to the latest development integrate, and they hopeful being able to return home. so the big speaking to refugees, i think monday when the p p left took over medically and yesterday as well. and

they say that they're very happy with the developments that happening and great, but they're not sure if this means that they can actually go back home. that's because point networks have been cut off from the region. but also because of the report, the hearing from the united states that about 700002900000 people could face death because of our nation or destitution. and that so many parent aid need to reach the population of the great. as soon as possible, 8 organizations have expressed hope that they would be able to access those and need more than 5000000 people are projected to be in need of community parent assistance. 350000 people facing fam in the region. so people here, the refugee here who have fled to great since the beginning of the call to say they're not sure if the, if the situation right now, it's good for them to go back home because the news that they're hearing about the humanitarian situation is quite dire again, 8 organizations say that they're hoping that the union natural declaration overseas by a would mean an access to those people who are in need,

but so far that remains up in the air. so people here are very wary. they say that they're going to continue waiting and watching to see what news to hear, especially when the telecommunication lines open up. and they can hear from relative that they haven't heard from some for months. and he, but thank you very much for that. have a morgan alive in gallery, from the border between ethiopia and suda, to brazil. now where the supreme court is you to rule on a case that could determine future claims by indigenous peoples to their ancestral lands. leaders from 14 digital groups of count near the court house in the capital brazilian waiting the decision. the shock lang people are trying to retain territory in the southern fate of santa katerina. the ruling could affect the outcome of hundreds of similar cases when it came in our care of his live in brasilia, joining us all for me on this story. a very important case that coach set of precedents, monica, give us a background to it and tell us about what's been happening, where you are right now. well,

as you can see behind me, there's a group. 6 of people there around of 40 different groups here, and hundreds of leaders representing them. they've been here for the past 3 weeks camping in the heart of brazilian, which is those capital. and they will start marching towards the supreme court because there is a decision to be made that will define their future. so far, brazilian indigenous people have been claiming lands. it's a very difficult process. you have to prove that your ancestors have been in the land but there was no time. * cut off, there was no limit. now what this case that they're judging, which is the case involving one indigenous group and the state of outside in the south of brazil. what this may define is that there will be cut off date

that the cutoff date would be 1988. so if there were a group of indigenous people who are not sitting on their land in 1988, which is when the new constitution was approved in brazil after the military rule was over, then you would have no right to claim the lands. so if the supreme court ruled in favor of integers, people, this is good for them. if it rules against them, this is bad because our whole series of, of there's a lot of legislation that has been sent to congress. but now during present drivable, so not a government which is trying to open indigenous plans to agriculture to mining and also to limit their claims. so and then even to review them are cations of reverence, servatius that have already been made. all right, monica, thank you very much for monica. you know, you have a live in brazilian. of course we'll come back to you once the decision is made in that case. thank you. a distribution in syria has been one of the major discussion

points out of meeting between the foreign ministers of russia and turkey may lead commercial new. and the 2nd law of also talked about the situation in libya and afghan, his son. and they said the russian cove in 1900 spot in the vaccine could soon be produced in turkey. live to correspondent, re so say dan was on an untimely weather to foreign ministers have been meeting. and it's just how the news conference 3 thought in until you tell us about what's come out of it. a lot of the focus has been on syria. i understand while fully yet give to regional power. definitely have discussed several regional issues and particularly how to support the transitional government in libya and how to lead the government interest. the believe i'm so one and also enough gotten this done as the use us is we throw in from that kind of stuff. how to contribute this, the ability there, and also the sci fi, the franchise used by install. caucasian between us,

that'd be john and armenia as turkey and russia are the countries which are monitoring the ceasefire there. and also took is increasing a military supported ukraine, also was at the table. but the crux of the story to day was syria, particularly the north western city of lip and how the you and aids are going to be distributed because on july 10 there will be of working in your life mission security console to renew the resolution that allow the united nations to operate aids in that region. that is like very much populated, and 4000000 people are just living in that tiny place. so russia, russia, what a minister said a level has signaled once again that russia is going to re, to the resolution. so in that sense is going to be one of the most important diplomatic show down between the usa and russia in the united nations security council on july 10. so if russia veto is the resolution,

that means the last remaining aid distribution point of the united nations in it live also is going to be close. and of course turkey is very much concerned because it says that these will lead or 3 good. another wave off the refugees from a live over turkey, which 1800000 syrians there in that region depends heavily depends on the definition age there. so in this sense, turkey is trying to convince russia, but russia beloved to they said that if the, the national community does not meet us, the russian concerns, they are going to be to the resolution in the united nations security council, which is highly going to dramatically affect the already the registration in the lip and even cool lead another humanitarian crisis. but law will say that, you know, the, the root causes of humanity crisis in syria are not the, not the,

the distribution in libya, but mostly just because the international community or the international powers are sanction over the damascus government. and also the frozen assess of the mask is, are not letting the city and government to function properly. and he says that all of these aids should be related to the mask as an industrial, russia is trying to provide as measures thomas and international legitimacy to damascus. but critics says that if the a go through the mask is definitely the, the city of the gym will a favor, the ones who i feel gated with it and use that as a punishment to against the opposition. how areas in syria? thank you for that race. so santa is not correspondence. a natalie a turkey bad on time on our key protesters in s with teeny, formerly known as swaziland, have defied a curfew to call for constitutional reforms. they're demanding democracy,

and an elected prime minister, alexia bryan, has more anger and frustration, and e, swati ne crowds built barricades confirmed tires despite an overnight curfews, while the opposition's colon, a tipping point for the nation. the demonstrations like this, a rare in this more landlocked country, formerly known fatherland. but the saint has been simmering for years. much of it focused on kingdom swati, africa, his last absolute monarch and one of the few remaining in the world. he was crowned in 1986 aged just 18 and has unfettered political power. he has 15 wives. oh, it has been criticized for his lavish spending. almost denise martini live in poverty. we are the youth of land. anyway,

so much the bread by the government. sounds good, almost over time. if our government is out you get out of them. it is that though, i mean that the one missing mama, the protest is they, they want democracy, political parties, a band. and even though people are allowed to vote for members of parliament, the opposition says they not elections. more selection of people signed off by the king. young people who don't want to keep part of the government in the want to part of the government. us citizen like the rest of us in court, where everyone from shops in it's to biggest cities have been lucid and others se on fire. the military being out to enforce the curfew, which the government says is to ensure the safety and security of residents.

but the opposition say some protest has been killed and many others wounded. the acting prime minister says he's open to hearing the people's complaint, but demonstrating isn't the way to do it. where nation that been done, the government has opened an email address. where must, what can continue to direct their concerns and petition for decades, king and philosophy is being portrayed as a deeply popular monarch. now the government's being forced to deny reports. he's fled to the country. his kingdom appears to be in crisis. and sir bryan al jazeera, still ahead on the news our find out why right farmers in bangladesh. i agree and say they need a bailout from the government in schools. another top play, it takes that tumble at wimbledon action coming up, need to, with teachers, stay with this. what back after this short break?

ah hello, welcome to the look at the international forecasts, sunshine, across much of the middle east. so no surprise is coming through here. we got a little bit of cloud just around the caucasus cuz he wanted to shower cuz he wanted to show us to, into northern part of our understand northern areas of pakistan as well. but that aside, it really is about the heat once again. so we touching 50 celsius impact that could be a tough, warmer and q way. it's warm enough in damascus at 40 degrees. and we're somewhere in between here in doha, around 4445 celsius over the next day or 2. now sunshine, stretched out across the gulf of a, into the horn of africa, shots, one or 2 showers just around central parts of somalia for time, but nothing too much to speak of the majority of the showers. well, they're quite nice. you now around the p in highland sliding. further west with

through south saddam, we'll see some heavy rain coming back into the camera room into central and southern parts of nigeria to the south of that. it is generally dry. we got plenty of sunshine across southern africa, away from the western and southern cape where we got some wet weather, just drifting in cape town at around 16 celsius as we go through friday. 10, we just do recovering portals with to around 20, maybe 25 degrees here by saturday afternoon. ah, the world's lungs are being seized. the amazon rain forest is diminishing the rate of 2 football pages a minute to meet the market insatiable appetite for logging mining and farming. as both scenarios, government seek to relax conservation loss and increased production indigenous communities on the brink of extinction. no, with the.
