they're pretty emblematic of the pedagogy and if they're plentiful and they're calm like this one is, then you know that the system is going back and that they feel no threat. and that's why you know, i, for re wilding pass a go on. i'll just say era ah, record breaking temperatures in western canada and parts of the u. s. lead to dozens of experts. the climate change is to blame. ah, i'm pretty bad people. you're watching colleges 0 live from also coming up. if your peers army warns of a huge respond safe to great forces reorganized after the rebels is rejected to govern ceasefire. are you in court convicts to former serbian spy chiefs of war

crimes and crimes against humanity for their roles in the 1994 in the balkans and north korea leaders thought several senior officials accusing them or failing to properly handle the coffee. 900 pandemic. ah, thank you for joining us. our records smashing hage wave has been hating western canada any northern united states, killing dozens of people and fueling concerns about wildfires in california is death valley visit is braves temperatures that for about 50 degrees celsius. present joe biden has been blame has been beaming climate change for the crisis, and he's met leaders of western states to discuss ways to minimize disasters, including for his fires. the high temperatures have been linked to more than a 100 deaths in western canada. most of them elderly people, the country has recorded its highest ever temperature of nearly 50 degrees celsius

u, and whether expert 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 it isn't happening this time. it's called life to our white house correspondent for kimberly how care to join us from washington. so for invited, we know kimberly has made climate change really a central part of his campaign as of his re election campaign. anyways, he election campaign i should say and he's met with western leaders today. we're leaders from the western states. what come out of that meeting? what does come out of it? are some promises from the federal government that he believes are really delivering on those campaign pledges? and other words he made bold promises to move forward to combat climate change. something he calls that the existential threat and as president, he is now delivering on those promises in terms of helping invest in clean energy

and also green infrastructure to combat some of what we're seeing right now on the west coast of the united states and up into british columbia, canada, i, the fact remains is that these are some of the highest temperatures ever recorded, and we're seeing them much sooner. so in other words, the, the hot summer months that never exist before now exist, they're coming earlier, they're longer periods of hot weather and it's stronger in terms of the intensity of the infrastructure simply isn't there in much of the united states for dealing with hot weather for example, more than half of all homes that area don't even have air conditioners to cool. so this is why we're seeing this high number of death. so what we've heard from the us president is that given the fact that we're seeing these wildfires, they're now going to be instead of seasonal jobs to combat these problems. they're now going to be all year round people or where to be paid more in order to fight

fires and to deal with some of the infrastructure problems we're seeing like buckling pavement for example. but it's been difficult, hasn't had kimberly for the president to sell his climate policy even within his own party. and we've already seen the president going not far enough if you will. he's been facing protests outside of the white house this week. people who support him or support him at the ballot box, but say that the president has not delivered on his clean energy promises. for example, this $1.00 trillion dollar infrastructure package that he struck a deal with with republicans. they say they're the, his critics say that full of a lot of half measures when it comes to putting in the money in the funding for charging stations for electric vehicles, for example. but it just hasn't gone far enough. and most of these people that have been protesting this week are young people who say, look at, we came out for you, we helped get you elected, and now they're accusing of being a coward. so the reality of politics in washington is sometimes you have to make

deals, and many people say that this is not one of those times again that this is a life and death situation. and the president, given the fact that he controls the white house, has democrats control the house of representatives and the senate and congress that he should be using this opportunity to push through with some major initiatives to combat climate change. kimberly thank you for that. kimberly hock at a washington. now the heat wave on canada as west coast is a country's more severe on record. it has a somewhat but temperatures are expected to remain high. vinton monahan has more 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 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. we do get here from time to time every summer summer's have been getting hotter. but you know, we've 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, 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 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. well, stephanie is a comment change expert, i be australian national university. he says the magnitude of a temperature increase has caught everyone by surprise. normally this time the temperatures would be in the mid to upper twenties. in places like then cooper and a really hot day might be 35. but these temperatures are in the mid fourties and

pushing 50 degrees. so the extraordinary increase in which i think is called everyone by surprise. there have been high pressure domes in the past. these do occur reasonably often, but the rate and size of the temperature increases just extraordinary. we're also talking about fire risk and we're talking about wild animals as well as the medicaid. it was not the course name. they also suffer from the heat. they certainly suffer when large areas of forest burn well and certainly sounds like they're on the verge of another really disastrous fire season up and down the west coast of north america. but this time, normally those are centered in california and maybe southern oregon this time due to the extreme, me all the way up into british columbia means that there are many more for said or boulder will define this year than they have been in the past. some breaking news to tell you about now and in the united states,

pennsylvania's highest court has overturned bill cosby sexual assault, conviction, and ordered that he be released from prison. the american actor was convicted in 2018 and of course decision comes after he serves more than 2 years of a potential 3 to 10 year sentence. following his conviction in 2018 will bring you more on this breaking news story a little later on the program when we speak to our correspondence to ethiopia, now, and cleans encounter claims about the fallout from the conflict into gray. the government says every t reinforces have now withdrawn from the region, the to gray people's liberation from fate. bay force the government troops out. the rebels say they now control the regional capital makella. busy the t p s has rejected, the government sees fire calling it a joke. the rich and fighters have been supporting the feel for military fighting rebels in the northern region for months staffing, so he has more from they will be there's been a lot of back and forth accusations and contact ations between both sides. we have

hod from prime minister, be amid who basically reiterated an audio government position on reasons why that you feel to have withdrawn from macedonia and other areas in the region as well. he says that this was a strategic decision that the to have more important security matters to deal with have a more national external threat to deal with. he did not say what this told or which this external forces were, but he said that the p d f. the 2 great defense forces are not anymore priority. not any more major threats. so the government is going to contain that with in tea gray. and if need be, then the military can very easily take control of mccalla within 3 weeks. so this is something that has been denied by the spokesman of the t d f. 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 were 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 has lost the center of gravity in the current context. till former serbian secret police chiefs have been found guilty of war crimes in the former yugoslavia in the 1908 nineties, the your invention national criminal tribunal convicted jury sanitation from course amounts of age for their role in financing and supporting sub militias, charges sentence both men to 12 years in prison. it's the course longest running

hello, welcome to the look at the international forecasts, more hot sunshine across much of the middle east. so no surprise is coming through here. we got a little bit of cloud just around coaxes cuz he wanted to shower because he wanted to shout to the northern part of africa. understand, nor the marius 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. 40 degrees and we're somewhere in between here in doha, around $4445.00 celsius over the next day, or 2. sunshine stretched out across the gulf of aidan into the horn of africa. just 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 nicely now around the highland sliding further west with through south saddam, we'll see some heavy rain coming back into

a camera 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 go, some west weather, just drifting in cape town, around 16 celsius as we go through friday. temperature, do recover in portland, was to around 20, maybe 25 degrees here by saturday afternoon. the weather bag, energy and change to every part of our universe. or small to continue the change all around the shape, my technology and human ingenuity. we can make it work for you and your business.

ah, the watching al jazeera, a reminder of our top story, millions of people in western canada and northwest in the united states are under heat and softer record breaking temperatures. more than a 100 people have died in the vancouver area alone since friday. most were elderly . in ethiopia to gray in rebels say, government shows were forced to withdraw from the regional capital mckennie government. the retreat was strategic. the people's liberation front also rejected the government, the fire, calling it a joke,

and in new jersey from the u. s. pennsylvania. the highest court has overturned bill cosby sexual assault, conviction, and ordered that he'd be released from prison. the american actor was convicted in 2018. it served more than 2 years of a potential 3 to 10 year sentence. and more on that breaking news story. let's bring in she abra times the who was live from washington d. c. so bill cosby, that conviction overturned she had on what grounds? well, that's what we're trying to figure out. this is quite a lengthy ruling. but from what we can glean, it appears that the prosecutors accord in the view of the supreme court were a bit over overzealous in that wish to establish a pattern of misconduct on the part of bill cosby. bill cosby was accused of drugging and sexually assaulting women at his house in a way in a bid to establish a pattern of abusive behavior. a prosecutor's introduce testimony,

the judge at the time allowed the testimony of 5 other women who said that they had also been drugged in 60 defaulted by bill cosby. the supreme court decided that the judge was wrong to allow that evidence into into the trial. it meant the cause we didn't get a fat trial. this is information that was not germane to the trial, even though the prosecutors thought they were establishing a pattern. it was, it was perhaps just simply just prejudicing the jury against bill cosby. that seems to be what we're gleaning from what we've been able to read so far. so that means that cosby is conviction is being thrown out effectively on on percent procedural ground that the prosecutor miss handles will handle the case. as you say that this suggests that he will, we have relatively soon, we are seeing some reports. you may be even out of prison from his 3 to 10 year initial sentence. earlier today he had actually refused attempts to lessen

his prison sentence because he did, you refuse to accept guilt or responsibility? and that was any way that he would actually perhaps going to get a lighter sentence. but this is obviously a major moment because if you remember when bill cosby was convicted, it was seen as perhaps the 1st major moment in the hash tag me to movement that it was underway. as women were were legit misconduct by powerful men that had gone and unpunished if but, but perhaps widely known in the us actually that the men were abusing that positions of power to abuse women. and yet they weren't going punished. and this conviction of because we had been seen, i was that major moment when finally justice courts had been done. well, the supreme court, pennsylvania say justice wasn't done. cosby did not get a fair trial. interesting. well, speak to you about reactions mix our when we join you again. she had thank you very

much for the moment. she had returns the life force there in washington. thing in the us. the death toll in the florida building collapse has raised into 16 after 4 more bodies were poles from the rebel. the search and rescue operation is a new 7th day. no survivors have been found since 12 story apartment building near miami town suddenly last thursday. almost 150 people are still unaccounted for. please join me in continuing to pray for those who lost their lives in this i'm thinkable tragedy and all of their families who are grieving and all of those who are still waiting and waiting and waiting for news. i speak to john henderson in 1st 5, florida for his as the mayor said that john, people still waiting for news, more bodies being recovered in the meantime, bring us up to speed with the latest. well,

overnight. 4 more bodies were located in the rubble that because workers say they were able to find new tunnels, places where people could possibly survive. but in this case, did not. that brings the grand total to 16. as you mentioned, they're nearly a 150 people unaccounted for. i believe that the exact number as of this moment is 147. 1 of the problems here is you can see it's raining right now. there are 2 storm systems. just beyond that building it is the brown building behind me, and you could see this crane up above it. well, that crane goes 24 hours because the crews are working in 12 hour shifts, but it stops whenever there is the threat of lightning. and what that means is that the operation is suspended, and it's that much more time before they can begin searching for people once again . and that is part of the reason that in the rain pouring down there the fires that

those workers have had to deal with, may explain why we have seen no live bodies pulled out since thursday. so they are continuing to work on that, hoping to find survivors, and they are still calling this a recovery mission set. tomorrow. we'll have president joe biden arriving here along with his wife jill. they will be surveying the situation, and those workers would certainly like to find survivors for that occasion, but it simply has not happened since thursday. john, thank you for that. john hendrick live in certified florida. russia's present, vladimir putin has filled with questions from across the country during his annual show call in show putting says he opposes mandatory vaccinations, but urge people to get the core of eyes vaccine. and he also accuses the u. k. and us of fueling tension tensions in the black sea, after a british navy vessel stays close to russia illegally annex region of crimea. last week,

the bunker has more on the phone. and now of us social media. this is where vladimir putin responds to average concerns. will be at pre screened $1.00 price of vegetables to cope with 19 percent with russia in the grips of another major wave of corona virus infections. tuesday was eager to dispel fears around russia's vaccine. the country was quick to develop the jap, but only 15 percent of russians have received a dose. until now the kremlin had refused to say which vaccine putin had received. worsening public confidence in the russian jab, william. so if i go with our stimulus now, i thought that i needed to be protected as long as possible. so i chose to be vaccinated with the sputnik vaccine. the military is getting vaccinated with an after all, i'm the commander in chief. only go to the commanders. putins left many pandemic decisions to regional officials. some areas including moscow have decided to make

the vaccinations mandatory for millions of workers. officials say people can decline, work is fear, they'll be fine if they do it. the leading, meanwhile, reveals he doesn't support mandatory jabs. you put years representing the pharmacist challenged his popularity, but on tensions with the west, a more characteristic leader was on show. he marked the united states, pressing an imaginary button on his forehead. to show how american officials activate their brains, he went on to accuse the british navy along with us as support a provocation by sailing, knowing the close to crimea, part of ukraine, the seas by russia in 2014. the russian military responded by firing warning shots and dropping bombs, and the british ships part. there's really what we're going to live, even if we think this ship, it would be difficult to imagine the world would be on the verge of the 3rd world

war. because those who do interest and you know that they can't emerge victorious from this war despite stagnating wages and falling living standards, putins approval at home is still high, but steps to quash opposition. political movements, including that of alexi, novelty, have pushed the lead a further into international isolation. meanwhile, the longest serving russian leaders, joseph stalin, shows no sign of retiring. the time will come, he said, when i will name my possible successor need follow up. just gimme a distribution inferior was one of the major discussion points at a meeting between the foreign ministers of russia and turkey mandate, cash, hulu, and federal law valve. also talked about the situation in libya and afghan is done . and they said the russian cove in 1900, but in the vaccine could soon be produced in turkey. in brazil, the supreme court is due to rule on a case that could determine future claims by indigenous peoples. so they ancestral

lands. leaders from 14 digital, closer county and the court house in the capital brazilian awaiting the decision. the shock lang people are trying to retain territory in the 7th faith of santa katerina when k. and i give is with the indigenous school stamps, hide the court in brasilia. well, this room court is important because it will be binding the landowners. what they claim is that there should be a time limit for indian to reclaim their territory. they say, if you weren't sitting on that land in 1988, which is the year that the new constitution was approved after the military dictatorship was over it if the person wasn't there at that moment, then they should not have a right to claim that territory many of these indigenous people had been expelled before by force, so they may not have been sitting exactly on that spot in 1988,

but there is proof that they were there. so if, if the court ruled in favor of the state id and instead of in favor of the indigenous people, this sets a precedent and it could lead to having to review many of the cases that are, have already been decided in favor of the indigenous people as well as not allowing future claims to move forward on time mana key protest seen s what teeny have defined a curfew to call for constitutional reforms. they're demanding democracy and elected prime minister lexia. brian has a detailed anger and frustration and it's what teeny crowds built barricades concerned tires. despite an overnight curfews, while the opposition's calling a tipping point for the nation, the demonstrations like this a rare and the 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 that came in. he was crowned in 1986 aged just 18, and has and fated political power. he has 15 wives. oh, it has been criticized for his lavish spending. almost denise, what, teeny live in poverty. we are in any way out so much the bread by the government government which over time if our government can't say no, you get out of them. 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 from in the parliament,

the opposition says they not elections. more selection of people signed off by the king of young people that we don't want to be part of the government in the want to part of the government. us citizen like the rest of us in court with like everyone from shops in it to biggest cities have been it and others say 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 complain that demonstration isn't the way to do it. when isn't 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, i've always much one use on our website, al jazeera dot com, the very latest on all of our time. so he's on the, i'll just sierra dot com news. the news. hello again. i'm fully back to bow with the headlines on al jazeera, pennsylvania's high court has overturned bill cosby sexual assault, conviction, and ordered that he be released from prison. the american actor was convicted in 2018. he was accused of drugging and assaulting a woman in his home. cosby had served more than 2 years of a potential 3 to 10 year sentence.
