survive a military plane crash in the philippines. we've got an update on the casualties and celebrating a new chapter for chile, the people with the job of re watching, called jason, and ending us off the vision. ah, for myself, african president jacob zimmer has defied a deadline set by the supreme court to surrender to police 79 year old join supporters who rallied outside his home in candler and promising to resist any attempt to arrest him. jayma was found guilty of contempt of court for failing to appear before a corruption inquiry. the face of 15 months in prison, and on friday, applied to the court for the sentence to be a note. for me to mila has the latest from former south african president,

jacob summa remains adamant that has not been treated fairly by the judicial system . specifically, the constitutional court, as well as the commission of inquiry into corruption or state capture as it's known in south africa. it's after the former president refused to testify at the commission that he was taken to the constitutional court with a charge of contempt of court. the constitutional court found that he was guilty of that and sentenced him to 15 months in prison. now, the president, the former president, has gone on to say that, and he said this a number of times that he's not afraid to go to jail. he is a prisoner of conscience and that this is about the rule of law that because he's not been treated fairly consistently, he is challenging that again at the constitutional court. and that's why he's not handed himself in to police. and that's why it's likelihood possibly face arrest in

the coming days. but this is what the president, the former president said earlier when addressing media effect to that i was busted with a punitive jail sentence without trial is something which should in induce a sense of shock to all those who cherish freedom and the rule of law south africa is fast sliding bag to i, but the type group jacobs duma is due in court on tuesday to apply for an entity to stop police from arresting him. if that is not successful because they are questions around the jurisdiction of the high court in that it's not known. if that lower court can challenge a judgement or can stuff

a judgement made by the highest court in the land. the constitutional court, which usually can not be appealed. however, if the former president is successful, he will then appear at the constitutional court later in july, in mitigation of sentence, in an appeal to have the sentence changed entirely, with the very least at the very least reduced. he says he's too old and ill to go to jail. his concern about the 3rd wave of the coven 19 pandemic in south africa. and apart from the moral stance, he says he's taking, he's concerned saying that 15 months in jail would effectively be a death sentence. however, if the court bird is not successful, the former president does face a risk in the coming days, but more will be known once he appears in court. on tuesday. a demolition team is

preparing to bring down what's left of a posse collapse. building the u. s. state of florida. the plans for the side apartments near miami were brought forward as the region braces for tropical storm l, so which is expected to reach the coast. on tuesday, workers have been searching for bodies since the building collapsed 11 days ago. 24 people have been confirmed dead and a 121. people are still missing. as i said before, will be moving forward with the demolition as soon as it's safe to do so. between 10 pm and 3 am tonight, bringing the building down in a controlled manner is critical to expanding our scope of search. as you know in the pile and allowing us to search in the area closest to the buildings which has currently not been accessible to the team, given the great risk to our 1st responders due to the instability of the building.

let's go straight to kareem in miami beach kareem is just after 10 pm at night. we are expecting this demolition to begin in the next hour or so. i believe. what more can you tell us about what exactly is going to happen? well as he said, moline, it's supposed to begin any any 2nd. now they've given a window of about 5 hours for the demolition. and they spent the greater part of sunday drilling holes into concrete pillars towards the bottom of the building here, the foundation, that's where they're going to be putting in the explosives. and it's basically called the effective felling. and what happens is the, the launch the small little explosives at different parts of the building and the building will come down by the force of gravity within the perimeter of its walls. and we are expecting that it's, they're trying to do it so that it,

it's the western part of the building away from the rubble so that as the building falls down, it's not going to fall on to the pile of debris that, that search and rescue teams have been working through for the last 11 days. there is about a 3rd of that debrief that has not been touched in those 11 days because it hasn't been safe. you might remember that this talk of demolition truly began in earnest on thursday just a few days ago when there were concerns that that structure might collapse. there were hearing noises and seeing some debris suddenlink and it was, it was a concern to the 1st responders. so they decided to go ahead and move forward with the process. we were initially told that was going to take weeks for a decision to be made. but as you mentioned, we have this approaching tropical storm as well, which could bring have the winds here and that, that just kind of made it all that more urgent. and so they, they are planning on bringing the remaining structure down within the coming hours

occurring. do we know what impact bringing down the building to have on that search and rescue operations? well, it's supposed to be a positive impact. that's it. if everything goes according to plan, because once they're, once the remaining structure comes down, we're going to be able to see that all that debris removed and it's going to open up that pocket of the debris pop that so far. search and rescue teams have not been able to, to search through. so that obviously is a positive thing. but of course it's going to be an emotional site for people here to see the, the rest of this building come crumbling down. this is supposed to be a joyous day. you might be hearing popping of explosions behind me, and those aren't demolition explosions just yet. this is 4th of july independence

stay in the us and there are firework celebrations and other parts of south florida . here in miami beach, usually you would be seeing fireworks right behind me, but they cancel those celebrations out of respect for the, for the victims of the building collapse and for their families. many thanks for that update kareem for us in miami beach, florida. will tropical storm elsa has made land full now and east in cuba, and strong winds of near 95 kilometers per hour and heavy rain full cost. as a warning of flash flooding on month, slides, storm has already battered several caribbean islands, killing least 3 people. well, 180000 people in cuba being evacuated. the government is also trying to protect sugar cane and coco groves. storm is expected to gradually weaken as it moves across the country while we're moving because the building is falling. we need to

move now because the storm that's coming, things are grim as we keep and say you need to move and that's how we keep going when we are being evacuated. and that's because of this done. the building is in the very best date and they have been some collapses. so you need to look after yourself. i mean, the philippine military says all 96 people on board, one of its planes that crashed on some they have been accounted for. 47 people died as well as 3 on the ground when the c one says he actually car aircraft went down, is the landing in yellow island and city province. 49 military pass now provide the crash. most of the just completed basic training and would you to join operations against owned groups in the region? the defense ministry says the plane missed the runway and investigation will begin once recovery efforts have finished. well, let's go to jimmy adding dugan who is live in manila. so what exactly is the latest

when it comes to these recovery efforts? well, at this point, what we know is that those sub survived and some of them unfortunately, may be critically injured. those who have critical wounds are, are given intensive care have been taken to the 150, which is the biggest fit, the closest to hello island. that would be an hour flight. there was also a minute you station hospital attending to the others, i guess with lesser injuries, injury sub survivor, who's seen pictures of survivors. and it's quite incredible if we look at the picture of, of the crash fight that there are, you know, a significant number of the survivors. but we do not know exactly what state they're in at the moment, but the military assure that they're given special care. now those who have not survived are now undergoing a process of identification. those who have been identified, their families are not only being notified individually. we've been told that,

you know, all military hospitals, station caps across the country, how their flags have been fluent at half mast. i mean, this is a period of morning for the country. i mean, less than over a little over a week ago. the former commander chief is also died and just as the country period a 10 day period to more morning now the philippines is facing it's worth military, crash an accident in recent, in his recent history and a minute, do we have any idea of what caused this crash while you know, we were listening to the interior of the spokesperson earlier this morning with a local channel and basically, you know, according to initial report, they're saying that and as he described it, the police approach as well within the parameters, the air speed was correct i mean, essence, the protocol that we're look very much in place and we're talking about pilots here . we're very much experience. they are the best of their particular batch. and they

have been, you know, flying at the forefront of asian operations of the philippines military, especially since the pen demik broke out. some of the pilots actually flew the c 130 to china to pick up much needed supplies and vaccine. so it's unlikely that they're looking at the pilot error at this point, but they said the full, full blown investigation is on their way. they need to look at it thoroughly through hopefully a block backs a black box and flight data recorder. it is also important that the, even if this one we may be particularly small, see 130 planes have landed on this constantly for many, many years. while law is a one of the most militarized areas in the southern philippines. and you know, it is, and the regular that you have rotating troops who are being fill in here via c 130 . and in particular, yesterday, 85 soldiers were actually flowing to her law for their tour of duty. and

unfortunately, they didn't make it money. thanks about jamila. i think doug, in that for us in manila, the lead on al jazeera living, a divided life. how a controversial law up for review in israel is leaving palestinian families in limbo and another significance staff in china's ambition. ambitious face program to have symbolic on their face. ah, ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored my cattle airways. hello there, let stop in japan and rescue efforts have been suspended in the city hit by that devastating landslide. as the torrential rain continues to fall and at least 7 other land slides were reported across japan as that excessive rain continued to

majority of the afghan people in the previous era, june taliban rule, for more than 10 years. we are now in control board and 70 percent of the territories. it is simply because that people know us very well and the afghan people have no problem dealing with us. many afghans are frightened, their consent, the security situation in the country will only worsen one few as forces eventually leave. while not only me, but all africans are very to the palate, bond will take kind of fun as us troops leave the country. no one in atlanta sign is completely satisfied with the taliban, went on from the day. the issue of the withdrawal, a foreign troops arose and it has had a negative impact on the deliver of people the fall of punch why district comes just days off the us and nato forces vacated their main by graham at base net. cobble. the remaining us troops will officially leave the country and september, the 11th a move, many regional experts say will only help the taliban consolidate. it's growing

when he was born just outside jerusalem's eastern limits. so his id papers are those of a palestinian from the west bank, but he lives in occupied east jerusalem with his daughter and wife. both of whom have jerusalem ideas. mohammed has to apply for a special military permit every 12 months, just to live in his own home. because you don't like it at any moment, them i tell you that you have to leave you welcome. his wife kennedy could only wish for the chance of permanent secure status and more we would have more freedom . he could work easily, movies in the travel and live daily life more easily. and when you don't have anything and you're afraid all the time, get across. ok, party, seriously. thousands of families have been put in this position by a temporary law that has to be renewed every 12 months. the question for them is

whether the political shift inside israel could ease that burden on them. israel's new right wing prime minister natalie bennett, leads a government that contains left wing and palestinian israeli parties who is set against voting to extend the law. this is a trap for him because it, it's not a law which is on the books. it's emergency action that was taken in 2003 at the height of the 2nd intifada, when there was real proof that people who had use the family unification actually were engaged in terrorist activities against israel. that's not the case to date. now the new position leader benjamin netanyahu is also threatening to vote against it to deal in early defeat, to the government. all of them on the job. if they don't want to give citizenship 215000 palestinians, they have to abstain. we never had right wing national parties voting against this law. the campaign is against the law such comments reinforced of you,

that it's about demography not security. you'll hear that the law is necessary for security and to maintain israel as a jewish demo, democratic state. so that should be suspicious to everyone. you know, when you are hearing these 2 justifications, you have to call into question. is it essential only for security reasons. mom, even if the law is prevented from lapsing containers, hope it may be amended perhaps exempting at least elderly couples. but that would still leave mohammed living a restricted life. no israeli health cover? no driving license, no real peace of mind. even at home. harris was it i'll just 0 occupied east jerusalem to crew have ventured out of china's new space station time since they arrived last month. it's only the 2nd space will buy chinese asteroids also known as taken notes under chappelle has more the push. when it comes to photo friendly

the, the crew members will spend 3 months helping build the station, conducting experiments small at the same time, maintaining their fitness. they'll also be capturing views that chinese astronauts have been unable to see for themselves since the us lock them out of the international space station 10 years ago. and are chappelle al jazeera. ah, this is algebra, these top stories for miss south african president, jacob's duma has defied a deadline set by the supreme court surrender to police. you found guilty of contempt of court last week. fighting to appear before corruption inquiry but continues to deny any will during a demolition team as preparing to bring down what's left of parsley collapse apartment building in the u. s. state of florida. the operation was brought forward ahead of a tropic.
