assassination that sharply international community. the nations deputy prime minister says, armed men speaking english and spanish storm the house in the early hours of wednesday, killing the 53 year old and badly injuring his wife. violent street protests calling from always to step down have been a regular occurrence in haiti. their affairs, his death, and the political vacuum leaves were plunged this nation into crisis. i called for the respect of the democratic principles. i urged all the nation stakeholders to help us in the battle for the continuity of the states. this country is hurt, this nation is hurst. the perpetrators will be taken to justice. let's keep our can . the situation is under control. now marie has been ruling by decree of the parliamentary elections were delayed in 2019 that led to his ations. he was trying to cling to power. but those living close to his home horrified was he's, he's got with somebody. imagine live in this area close to the precedent,

even when we have problem to the preston. because imagine that will kill him like this. unique. i heard something go, boom, like an earthquake. i thought something under the soil had been turning word leaders were quick to condemn the killing, offering their support for the people of haiti. algo. i would also like to refer to something that stick in the world to day, the crew, via and cowardly assassination of the president of 80, a friend of a country, a defender of freedom. a state of emergency has been declared with a newly appointed prime minister yet to be sworn in. there's uncertainty about the path forward here in miami, home to around 50000 haitians. the reaction is muted. those with family and haiti, a listening to reports closely and bracing themselves for the worst haiti's recent history. a scene who is political instability and widespread gang violence. all haitians can do here is watch and hope for the best. officials in the neighboring dominican republic afforded the immediate closure of the border with haiti. un

troops stationed in haiti left in 2017, leaving an already fragile democracy exposed. and it's people afraid of what may happen next. and to kalika al jazeera. once we hear about those arrests in connection with the assassination, that is the very latest with rosalind jordan following events forth from washington d. c. to the fast moving store. really roles. what is the latest that you're hearing? well, according to officials in port hans, there was a rate around 6 o'clock local time on wednesday, and that is where police got into a fire fight with the suspects in the assassination of show of no boys. 4 of the suspects were killed according to local police. 2 of them were arrested. there are now photos of their arrest, circulating on social media and in the local press. we don't know, however, whether there are other people involved in the plot to kill the late haitian

president. as we have been reporting his wife on martine boys who was shot during the incident early on wednesday has been flown to fort lauderdale, just north of miami, for medical treatment. she is said to be in critical, but stable condition. we also don't know whether or not there is going to be any quick resolution to the political law situation. the man who was now the into our prime minister close joseph was supposed to be stopping aside because jovan moiz had named a new man to take his place. and so even as they're trying to investigate this assassination, there's already a very public fight about who is in charge of the haitian government. and since the nation roles, obviously, we've all been keeping a very close eye on what's going on. a street level certainly across haiti, a very 10 situation at the moment, while a state of emergency is in place. well that was mainly so that there you

wouldn't have more people out in the street out in the community, either launching protest or engaging in any public displays of grief. basically a 14 day curve you has been put into place in order to try to calm the situation and sensibly make it easier for investigators to do their work. but there's already some criticism about the crackdown, notably from human rights organizations. still that is going to be the situation until the interim prime minister changes his mind. ross, thanks so much for the update rather than jordan the force in washington dc. but let's get more or less and kim i's, he's journalist and editor with the newspaper hazy liberty josie. now via skype from new york. have you been this drives on the program? i mean really were interested already who done it perhaps. so let's just talk about on the domestic front, most a had many enemies,

so who benefits from his death the most? well, i are working, hypothesis is that it is sector of the bush was the maybe one or 2 or 3 combined. who hired these mercenaries to come in and do the job because they are terrified? absolutely. they have the daylight scared out of them by the uprising that's happening in haiti's vast shanty towns. he's lumping proletariat has been forged into a revolutionary poorest by jimmy barbecue share. and he said, we're going to go into your supermarket, your car dealership, your banks, and we're going to take our money, food and cars. and we're going to start to live like people and they had to get job know out of the way. we think in order to be able to have the authority of the state to try to camp down crush,

destroy this uprising which is happening from the shady towns, an armed uprising, i should say. so therefore, is it that it is it therefore logical to say that this sort of assassination would not have been internationally back? there were no international actors that would really want to have a say or influence in haiti, or is that still a possibility? i suppose it's a possibility, you don't know, but i don't think that the us if they were behind it, were some other country. i mean, mainly the u. s. is the principal imperial sovereign of haiti. i don't think they needed to do that. i think they could have gone to job now and said, listen, we'll give you a condo in coral gables get out of here and he would have accepted the deal. but, you know, maybe he was resisting and they had to get him out and they had to do like they did to true, you know, in the early sixties, in d. m and via trujillo and dominican republic in the early 60, or d. m,

as they didn't vietnam in couple of years later. so it's possible, but you know, i think the more likely scenario is that this is from a sector of the bush was the one who were at odds with the job. now, of course, just couldn't really tell that it was time of political instability, social in rest, as you've mentioned. and a coven, 19 pandemic with practically so few haitians even being vaccinated when one does how the country is going to get out of this. well, it's definitely going to be difficult time for sure. i see now that the colombian president duke is proposing that the senior veen, this is because the ticket to the security council, china will surely veto the un being used as a neo colonial tool for the us. so they have to go to the junior varsity, which is the o, a s and do what like they did in dominican republic in 1965,

send in the marines with a couple of brazilians, columbia in town, durance, whoever else taking come scribe is window dressing, but tried to put down this revolution coming out of the shanty towns that way to, to the worrying time that for the moment. and for your insight, kim, i, thanks for joining us from new york. sure thing. south africa as former president jacob zima is in police custody. the 79 year old, 100 himself over to officials that he was sentenced last week to 15 months in jail for failing to show up as an inquiry into corruption during his time and power. that his legal challenge to last week sentence will be heard in court on friday for me, the miller has more from the town of escort. much of that night also remained uncertain . given the resistance of, from the former president to hand in self, although certainly be arrested. and towards the end of that deadline,

midnight in south africa, his foundation issued a statement saying that he had decided to comply with the incarceration order and would be reporting to a correctional correctional facility, inquisitive natal. and we understand that currently the former president is being processed and it will also be decided what kind of detail me, what kind of prisoner he will be or classified of based on his health concerns, which he cited as a reason for not being in prison. now he does expect to get judgement from the high court in concerned to tell in petersburg on friday when he tried to stop the arrest. that clearly wasn't possible, given the constitutional court judgement that said, if he didn't hand himself in by last sunday, he would then be arrested. the former president has tried

a number of ways to avoid accountability. and i think for many south africans, it's almost under unbelievable that the former president jacob zoom is now behind bars. inquisitive natal that's been a big explosion. the middle east, largest port causing a fire official say the play started in a container on board, a ship anchor that device, general ali port that the black shook buildings across the city residence as far as sir 25 kilometers away fell the explosion, which happened just before midnight, local time, feel thought was he say the fire has been brought into control and there were no deaths of injuries. mama cherokee is a professor of conflict resolution at george mason university. he says, reason to doubt that the fire was a natural accident. there are 2 scores of thought or 2 scores of analysis, one as we have just heard from the official narrative that when a natural accident, however,

the sound of this blast was 25. kit omega is a way that means it is a very significant explosion. and it could have matched what happened in, but you wrote last year, which is a good on yours explosion. and it's not just some of the stuff that was in the ship. my 2nd in the thought is that, is there a way we can understand this within the rift that took place at the opic plus meeting last week. and you know, there was supposed to be another meeting on monday. however, it was you spend because of the rift between him and the other 22 members of opic bluffs. is there a way we can think of this possibility? it could be a signal. it could be a letter or a message to the model that the need to consider some agreement or some compromise

. so i'm not trying to put the conspirator, i have over this incident, but i'm still wondering, i'm in the size of the road and, and the funny one. this is not just a small fire on a vessel defenses in the iraqi capital baghdad. her been activated after a suspected rocket or drone attack near the u. s. embassy and targeting the embassy will shut down close to the heavily fortified green that in this week. while still ahead here on al jazeera, the butler workers in new york with the one of the cities highest honors will tell you about the space after the break. ah, ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored by kettle airways.

hello the mate, you france, making good progress, sir. north across parts of china. central as a china seeing the wet weather at present to matt, whether just clipping the far south self, but the korean peninsula easing across into japan is going to continue to drift across a similar area as we go on through thursday. maybe just thinking a little further south was by that stay. so shanghai turning a little wetter in the process and for friday, showers and longest spells afraid never really too far away from that east side of china. i'm hopeful things will dry up a little bit into the southern parts of han ship, but much to pam. we'll still see some very heavy rain over the next couple of days . heavy rain continue across march of indo china or tropical system. now, pushing across northern parts of vietnam that has caused some flooding here, but a crop, a very wet weather there for much of vietnam. cambodia allows and also into thailand . joining up with a monsoon ranked a southwesterly, monsoon range drifting across much of south asia. some men ma still sing some heavy

downpours, far northeast of india, particularly wet bangladesh and further showers. long spells of rain pushing up into the pool. and as we go through the next couple of days at wet weather, drifting up across much of western in there as well to the north of that, it stays hot, much of pakistan sponsored cattle airways, vaccines, a promising path out of the panoramic. but the implementing the greatest inoculation in history is testing the global community around the world. already a clear gap has emerged between rich nations and poor ones when it comes to vaccinating their populations from the geo politics to the pure economics. the misinformation, the latest developments. what's going on here is very different 1st thought, the bad thing comes in the form of a nasal spray. special coverage of the colona virus pandemic on a jessina. ah, ah

ah, look about kill watching out there with lisa who, rob the reminder of all top stories authorities in haiti say that they've arrested 2 people in connection with the assassination of president of and l believe for others were killed and a gun bite with security forces filled at the time in the early hours of wednesday morning. also some advocates for the president, jacob zima has handled himself over the police see with sentence last week to 15 months in jail. but failing to show up at the inquiry into corruption during his time and power. and there's been a big explosion in the middle east, largest port causing a fine official say the late started in a container on board. a ship anchored, adopted by general ali, pull the authority site to all injuries. telephone

fighters have launched our 1st assault on a provincial capital in northern afghanistan since the us and nato withdraw began. taliban says briefly took control of galler ignore in bag this for the 1st time since 2001, i've got a song defense ministry says it's full of killed, more than 2000 talib and vices this week. but as fenton mullin reports, government troops is still losing territory. the taliban fighters rolling through the capital of the province in northwestern kenneth, they claim to briefly taken control of the town. the 1st provincial capital they've attempted to overrun since the us and nato withdraw again. was the bad cases, governor says government forces pushed the fighters out of the city, although not before they broke into the regions central prison and rescued the youth. taliban fighters over the sounds of heavy gunfire. the armed

governor had this message for afghan. the woman who i am, i want to assure our people that all the security forces, including the special forces a here and defending the city of color in on the enemy who has engaged with us in some parts of the city, is facing resistance. and also facing a lot of casualties and to fate. the afghan government has lost significant territory in the last 2 months. it's rely on air strikes to retake control. the ministry of defense says its troops have killed more than 2000 taliban fighters in the past week. wine, dumont brothers and sisters, there is no deal and no will to surrender. there are 2 choices, either to live with dignity or to live with insult. today's the day of honor, dignity and support. but if the taliban thinks that we are surrendering to them, that will never happen. not in 100 years. local militias have joined forces with the down military to bolster their ranks. this district in northern tac,

our province felt the taliban last week. since may 1st, the taliban has more than doubled the number of districts and controls to approximately 200 or half the country with the will. you do know that the most afghan security forces deployed on the front line, the way militia forces also stand with them. and defend in tech har. most of the areas and districts have fallen to the taliban. now we have created several lines to stop the taliban reaching the city. the town offensive has regional allies concerned. turkey and russia have closed their calls, bullets in the region while iran has restricted its counselor activities. although tara did host a meeting between telephone leaders and some senior afghan politicians back in bad geese, taliban fighters pushed out of cal ignore were ordered to wait at the city's gates until security forces surrendered. day after day,

the pressure builds with less than 20 percent of the f. kennedy, now controlled by the afghan government. benton monahan al jazeera, bringing mach committee with a brigadier general in the us. army knows the area very well, joins me now from washington. d. c. mr. give it nice top you back on the protocol again, i mean, conflicting accounts of the situation, sort of in the western province, but an indicator really of where northern taliban factions think strategic locations are easy enough to take and they can take them easily. yeah, i think that's right. it would appear that the taliban are on the fence and that may have been that the african national security forces felt that the that the go stations were going better than they really were. but i think the government is correct that they've been able to whole law can't loss of land to the taliban. but i think the in the months to come, it will be interesting to see if the national security forces hold together as

a watch in the us and coalition forces leading. how important is that you might say for the taliban to pick easy targets and how important is it for the african falls is to defend such easy targets that we can call this particular region in the west . easy pickings. when i think everybody realizes the taliban have a marvellous strategic communications plan, they are going to pick off these targets. they're going to advertise that heavily. social media is going to pick it up. the wordpress is going to pick it up and they're going to turn it into a story about the fall of afghan, a span. but i think that there's a lot of fight left in the national security forces. and this fight has got a long way to go, and hopefully there will be a piece resolution before the situation gets so dire as to perhaps threaten cobble . they were report saturday in the week. obviously the area support for the gun

force as they have a small defense forces such that takes to the skies. how important is that in the much bigger fight? well they, they've actually gotten significant amount of error capability that is important in each kind of fights. and they can also count on coalition aircraft coming in on an as needed basis. but it really will depend on the forces on the ground to really break the back of the soft sensor to can simply be done by arrows or whether f scan or real support or coalition or sport. what's your opinion about the potential input from the u. s. other nato countries into afghanistan. should the african government request it in the future even after the full withdrawal on september? the 11th? i mean, it's a possibility when the u. s. has bases in the middle east and can easily to a certain extent facilitate and he requests like that. yeah,

i think the 1st preference for the u. s. and the coalition in the middle east is going to be to try to support over the horizon, not actually put boots on the ground. but i think the analogy is rac in 2014, it was clear that the iraqi government was falling to a very small but determined group of isis. they invited the united states back in the united states forces are still there. i don't think that president biden wants to be known as the president. last stuff can stand. so i'm, i strongly believe that if, if there was a request that came from the government, the bite and ministration would probably look about favorably, maybe not give the afghans everything they want, but we certainly get the americans back in to help out. we'll see what happens to them. we'll leave it there. mark kim, it's always nice to get your important insight. thanks for joining us in washington . d. c. certainly though, the cellphone, a high rise apartment building that collapsed in the state of florida has risen to 54 low bodies were found on wednesday,

a visual's been held in the town of scientific. those who died more than 80 people a still missing almost 2 weeks after the client rescue operations and now turned into a recovery effort. as a chance of finding survivors say, washington d. c has followed new york state and suspending the law license of rudy giuliani. the man who was served as the attorney for former us president donald trump. a us appeals court is issued an order preventing juliani from practicing. the court found that he lied in arguing that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from mr. trump lithuania plans to build a board, events to stop refugees, migrants entering from neighboring bella. ruth, that says it's struggling to cope with a sharp increase in arrivals after batteries relaxed efforts to stop them. crossing the border of the russian president, alexander the shanker, has been accused of weapon izing migrants by allowing them to cross the border. they can access the european union at the most junior,

miss asmin dunker boot and to our knowledge a large part of these people arrived by a turkish airports and turkish organized flights. we are convinced that turkey has knowledge about the identities that those people identify and people is one of the great challenges that the lithuanian government has. these people have no documents if we cannot determine where they came from and we cannot begin to return them. the information is available to turkey because before boarding, they have to give their passport that visa, the biometric data. in cooperation with turkey, we could quickly determine their identities demand. they are accepted by the states they originate from me. well the 4000000 people have now died from quarter bar is according to the johns hopkins university tracker, many nations, the thing is surgeon new cases. spain's government, his warning young people to take precautions after infections more than doubled in

a week. the surge, luxury being blamed on more contagious delta vary and 1st i didn't find an india cases among people in their twenties. now, 3 times the national average incremental level, i get them. i mean, now with such a high increase, drastic measures must be taken. i know that they're working with a nice tech to, to do it. but there are also other unregulated, outdoor activities such as drinking outdoors, which are also worrying interactions among young people have multiplied. it seems very important to austin, for responsibility, but not to hold them responsible bohemia, but if keep us deploying more medical workers to its western province of ma, tanza, swear, the health system is on the brink of collapse. the highly contagious delta variance has filled hospitals and created a shortage of medical supplies. on wednesday, cuba posted a record 3600 infections in a single day. and new york has held the parade on doing it's essential. workers says the city as well on its way out of the pandemic with the low infection rate

and many of its residents vaccinated. it's a remarkable turnaround for city that was the api center of the u. s. ah break last year. as gabriel elizondo reports, it was a parade to downtown to honor heroes. but instead of that, celebrating a championship victory, it was essential workers being honored for bringing new york city out from a pandemic. all the nurses and doctors and everybody got a couple of them. i. 2 got lucky i got died in the room carrying nearly 250 types of essential workers. anyone who helps the city get through it's dark is days and dark days they

were in march and april, last year. new york city was the global epicenter, the cold pen, demick. millions of residents fled in a matter of days. in all over 33000 new york city residents died from cold. now, how times have changed. the city is now one of the safest places in the world when it comes to avoiding the virus. on most days, not a single person dies from cove. it. thanks to a massive vaccination effort that to date has administered 4600000 jabs to residents. but not everyone. if we switched the timing of this celebration, the union, they represent new york city firefighters, emergency medical technician, ambulance drivers, hold on their members to boycott, just to bring attention. where's your, what's been no salary and 3, just for over 3 years. the festival he's also committed time with most of the rest

of the world is still in the depths of the pandemic. that was something that was not lost upon spectators. i feel i caught you at a friend right now, but in that same sense we had mentioned, but we have to celebrate borderline. i in the city that suffered badly, but all through and is now saying thank you to all those who made it happen. gabriel sandow does it your, ah, you watching over there needs to hold rob the reminder of all top stories authorities and haiti say they've arrested 2 people in connection with the assassination of president juvenile moiz. 4 others were killed and a gun fight with security forces. noise was killed at his home in the early hours.
