you can columbia pretty badly hit, can you explain to us what's happening and why this particular heat wave is so severe? it's not so much the magnitude of the temperatures. it's the duration heat waves on the west coast of canada here, usually last for a day or 2 in temperatures. rarely, especially on the coast, go above 30 degrees. but we've been breaking temperature records for, for multiple days in a row by many degrees celsius. i mean, canada, yesterday broke it's all time temperature record and not by half a degree by, by 4 and a half degrees. and do, do we know how long this might last? well we already see the, the, the heat wave is easing a little bit and moving inland. so we're starting to see today really high temperatures and alberta, the province to the east of british columbia. and it will continue to move eastwards and break up a little bit. mean the mean driver of this, of this heat wave was basically a stuck weather system. it was a high pressure system like we often get here on the coast of west coast of canada

. but it was just stuck in place in what's interesting about that is there's actually specific evidence from climate analysis that says that these types of weather events and will become more frequent in warmer future. and given the kind of toll, it's how do you think that kind of needs to improve its preparedness for this kind of thing. and what sort of things would need to improve what you're speaking to a really important point to me, the essence, the real challenge of climate change that the climate is changing duty human activity faster, then we can adapt. and by we, i mean people, i mean our systems and, and, and environment around us. and so there are things you can do like having enough cooling centers open and that just means public buildings that have air conditioning. one of the challenges here and in vancouver on the coast is we're just not used to extreme, he like those people, including myself, do not have air conditioning in their homes. and so there's things like that we can do. but i think also there's a sort of policy level to adaptation that's necessary. particularly thinking of all

the vulnerable workers. we have a big agricultural sector in invented in british columbia. we have a lot of construction workers, people that are forced to be working outside in these extreme conditions. and in terms of, i mean, as you say, kind of globally, the temperatures are not, you know, not exceptional, but for a place that's not used to it. it can be an issue, do people need more education and how to cope with it? well, i feel like they, we've been doing a pretty good job here. i mean, this is just such an astonishing event. and if anything, i think it's helping people realize and see that the impacts of climate change are not helping elsewhere in the world. they're happening right here, right. and we're seeing even just the legacy of the heat wave as it eases. you know, it's going to causing wildfire wildfires in the interior and now we're starting to see reports of how many people may have actually died as a result of the extreme heat. both here in vancouver and, and other towns in the province. and i know you research the, the kind of public ass choosing and how they shift. do you think this kind of event is something that will prompt a shift and asked you to change?

well, i do think that that no one event is going to convince everybody to take action on climate change. it's more like an additional piece of data that people use to make their decisions. but i do find it's someone ironic that on the day, canada shattered its long time temperature record in almost reached 50 degrees celsius. we also, the canadian government also passed the net 0 accountability act that said we need to have a greenhouse gas emissions target set for every 5 years. and then we need to go to 0 by 2050. so that's a big accomplishment. some and on a thank you very much digital interest on there. thanks so much. a canadian 1st nations group says it's found $182.00 unmarked graves near the sight of a former residential school for indigenous children. the catholic church run the school in cranbrook from 912 until the early 19 seventy's. it follows the discoveries of hundreds of unmarked graves at 2 other schools run by the church over the last few weeks. if your government has warned that it's military could

retake the capital of the northern to try region within weeks, despite declaring a unilateral cease fire just days ago. the government says it's withdrawn air trend forces and own troops from mckelly since calling that truce. but the to grow people's liberation front, says the government's forces and its allies still in the region, and it's about to trace them out. they've also rejected the ceasefire. calling it a sick joke. well, you and is warned. the situation is grounded, extremely fluid. catherine soy is following the story from nairobi. prime minister i'll be amid spoke to reporters ali and ready to rated the government position on reasons why they still can, military has withdrawn from the capital of t guy, machaela and other areas as well. he said that this was because of strategic purposes. he said that the soldiers had more priorities to deal with that they have

to deal with external threats. he did not say what this threat was or with this external forces. why? but he did say that the 2 grand defense forces the t d f, who have been on the offensive in the last few days. not any more threat, not anymore priority to the government. he said that despite is going to be contained with in tea gray, and the military can very easily retake the capital macalester within 3 weeks. east need be he's what he had to say. look at in a lot of people were shocked on monday when we started withdrawing from the 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 center for known and unknown resources. by the time we exit, there is nothing special about it except that there are some $80000.00 people. and those people who lose it is lost in the center of gravity in the current context.

the spokesman offer to grey and defend horses have responded to the prime minister statements. seeing that all that had been said is a lie. he said that the seal in troop was actually forced out of michaela by to grand fighters. he also rejected claims by the government of the field that every trend troops have withdrawn from 2 great reason, saying that indeed they have not withdrawn, but instead they are regrouping in the north. 5 all reason, he also says that the grand force is also in the process of regrouping and strategizing, so they can continue without offensive, in particularly the north, tens of thousands of refugees from decry, have fled to sudan. if a morgan has more get a reef news downs border with a few while, many of the refugees that we've been speaking to since monday express happened is by the fact that the group people's liberation move forth. and the t d f were able

to take over the capitol medically and those who we spoke to yesterday said they were very happy that other towns have been captured as well. but the biggest concern right now is humanitarian access. the united states says more than 702900000 people are in dire need of parent aid without which they could die because a 3rd ation or the situation. and there are more than 5000000 people who are in need of humanitarian aid in the region of pay grade right now if you look at the situation on the ground, while the left may control major towns, they still don't control the major ways into and out of pay grade, so the ability for them to be able to make sure that aid is deliver to those in need is not 100 percent. this is a big concern for international donors, as well as 8 organizations who've been repeatedly saying that they hope that the fire that was announced by the government, which they have the way for those who are in need of comparing aid for the survival to be able to get them much more head on the algebra news,

our bill cosby is released from prison. ultra us court overturns the former comedians sexual assault conviction a landmark case in brazil, which could determine the future of hundreds of claims by indigenous people to the ancestral territories. and his port find out about a rule change at the touch lympics. she'll come as a relief for some female ah, donald rumsfeld, the us defense secretary, who saw the invasion of afghanistan and was, may not protect to the iraq war, has died at the age of 88. my can joins us live from washington, d. c. mike, he was a man or served on the for president, what's the reaction been to his death? well, the reactions being very mix. there are those who see donald rumsfeld test american hero as one who served as a public servant of the presidents raging from richard nixon. to gerald ford,

the youngest defense minister gerald poured and also the oldest defense minister and george w bush. but his critics contend that he is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of on and iraq, including thousands of american soldiers. those were the campaigns that rumsfeld, a secretary of defense. supervised along with this close friend and colleague, then vice president dick cheney. and his could explain top to that he never acknowledged any regret for those actions that led to all those debts. in his autobiography, he said he would never have done anything different. unlike his predecessors, secretary of defense, robert math tomorrow, who supervised the vietnam war, who expressed regret for his action subsequently. rosalind jordan takes a look back at a deeply controversial career. donald rumsfeld was rationed,

braces, infamously, so it's critic say the combination was the former u. s. defense secretaries undoing during the worst days of the us war in iraq. rumsfeld take, he was right. his critics were wrong and they couldn't stand it. rumsfeld was a survivor of washington politics. he made history as both the youngest and the oldest secretary of defense. and he did the bidding of for republican presidents in 1983 president ronald reagan sent rumsfeld to baghdad to try to broker closer ties with saddam hussein. but 2 decades later, it was defense secretary rumsfeld, who argued saddam had to go in rejecting the president ultimatum the iraqi regime has chosen war over peaceful design. and the us led war was the way to that happened. he and other bush administration officials accused

a rock of helping to plan the september 11th attacks, which it did not rumsfeld, also accused rock as possessing weapons of mass destruction, which it did not. he was wrong, but rumsfeld refused to say so. we believe the intelligence was correct, it turns out that it was not completely correct. at 1st rumsfeld embraced the neoconservative idiology of exporting us style democracy a nation building. but it is 2000. and 13 memoir rumsfeld changed his tune. i did not think resolving other countries, internal political disputes, paving roads erecting power lines, policing streets, building stock, market and organizing. democratic governmental bodies were emissions were our men and women in uniform. more important rumsfeld with plans for the possibility that a rock could tumble into chaos in civil war. again, he wouldn't apologize. there are known known,

there are things we know. we know. we also know there are known unknowns. that is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. critic said, rumsfeld desire to spend as little money as possible to fight the war. meant us true to didn't have the protection they needed from roadside bomb. and they said this exchange between a soldier and rumsfeld prove he didn't care. now why do we soldiers who have to dig through local landfills for pieces of scrap metal and compromise, ballistic glass stuff, armor vehicles. and why do we have those resources readily available to us? you go to war with the army, you have not the harmony you might want or wish to have around the world. rumsfeld was a symbol of us, our guns, the military prison at guantanamo opened on his watch. we're going to do that right . and the other hub abuse scandal exploded while rumsfeld was in charge with the us war in iraq going badly rums don't resigned at the end of 2006,

leaving a legacy that is decidedly controversial. the war critics to contend that, that invasion of off going to got coming on was something that led to a republican disaster in the 2006 mid terms. in particular, the shift in emphasis from east on to iraq. that was supervised by donald rumsfeld . and which many argue lead to the rise of the tele bond with the lack of resources in the wall that had been knotted in afghanistan. so a life deeply controversial donald rumsfeld dead at the age of 88. my can i thank you very much. bill cosby has been released from prison after pennsylvania supreme court overturned his sexual assault conviction. the former comedian has more than 2 years of a 10 year sentence perpetually drugging and assaulting a woman in 2004. she returns he has more from washington d. c. this wasn't

a judgement about whether the cause would be drugged in sexually assaulted a woman. this is a judgment about whether due process was followed and cause we received a fair trial. we have to go back to 2005 when he was initially charged with sexually assaulting women. the prosecutor at the time declined to press criminal charges instead. he apparently vocally reached a deal with cars to be lawyers that in return for cause bees testimony. depositions from cosby which waved his 5th amendment right again, fell for combination. he would then not be charged criminally, but he could be charged civilly in court. so that's what happened. and in fact, the b accuse actually won the civil case. then 10 years later, up those depositions that cosby gave, which did incriminate him with an unsealed and the prosecutor at the time, the subsequent prosecutor said what we should prosecute him criminally. now we have it now in black and white. supreme court says no,

i should not have happened that initial deal, even though it was simply verbal, should stand because a front cosby was concerned when he gave those depositions incriminating himself, he thought he would never be criminally charged. the death toll in the florida building collapses, risen to 16. after 4 more bodies were discovered. search crews, se there's little hope of finding any one alive. more than 140 people still unaccounted for. john henry news at a memorial near the scene for 7 days, some 900 search and rescue workers have been scouring the rebel in that building over there, hoping to find survivors so far. they have only found some of those who have died in the collapse of that building and possibly in the days afterwards, they've been using special saws sonar television cameras and search and rescue jobs . one of the most elite units is from miami dade right here. they have gone to mexico and new orleans to do similar kinds of emergency rescues and now they're

doing it right here in their own home. this is a little of what the officials had to say. most recently. i've never seen as many assets in place on that site. we've got heavy, heavy equipment and it's actively lifting gigantic pieces of concrete out of that pile. we've got waves of 1st responders and rescue people all over the top of that mound all over the side of that mound, and i'm told underneath the amount, so that's really good. on thursday president joe biden and his wife joe, are expected to come here to survey the rebel themselves. they may see we have this memorial, one of it least to where people have come to leave flowers and pictures. and as that happens, the rescue workers here would love to show some progress and find a survivor or 2, but they haven't managed to do that. since last thursday,

brazil's supreme court has postponed a decision on a case that could determine the future claims by indigenous peoples to their ancestral lands. and he does from 40 indigenous groups, have been camped out for days near the court house in the capital brazilian, the shock lying people are trying to retain territory in the southern state of santa katerina. want to go, you can join us live from brasilia. so it's been spread, but tell us what was at stake with this ruling? well, yes. now i'm standing in an empty square were just 5 minutes ago. it was filled with indigenous people from 40 different groups. what was it skips steak is that this court ruling would decide if there is a time limit or not for indigenous people to claim lands until now. they have been making planes based on on. they have to produce evidence that their ancestors lived

in certain lands. but what landowners and miners, and loggers, and many and people, especially farmers want, is to be there to be a limit that only who a people that were in a land in 1988, which was when the constitution was approved after the military rule was over only those people would have a right to claim land. it would you couldn't just show up like in 1990 and say that you had been expelled from a land in 1970 for example. so that would lead to the review of many demo cations that have already been made. and also it would really limit to future claims in the meantime, present valuable scenarios to depression on other front, just about that. well yes, today was a very, very day full of activity because there was

a super impeachment request that was presented to the house of representatives. that doesn't necessarily mean that the president will be in peach. but there's already a nationwide protest scheduled for saturday, asking also for his impeachment and the new the new situation now is the federal police is starting to investigate. accusations may by whistle blower that government officials asked for bribes to buy vaccines. co vaccine produced in india . so he's under a lot of fire in many fronts, but he says that he's going to stay until the end and that he will not let a parliamentary inquiry decide his future when you get any gift. thank you very much. indeed, many cities in india reporting vaccine shortages with people struggling to book appointments. the government says vaccines are being made available to all of the countries adults. but manufacturers still struggling to make enough doses. and many
