assassination of the haitian president. today, interpol has officially requested information from the columbia government and the national police about the alleged perpetrators of the fact. initially, the information indicates they are colombian citizens retired members of the national army. we've given instruction by the national government to our police and the army to collaborate in the investigation. to clarify these facts immediately. public force is fully at the disposition of the republic of haiti. the motive for the killing is still unknown, but political infighting is leading to concerns about the nation security. and he got reports. the authorities believe these 2 men being loaded into a police truck in port prince may be part of the gang that allegedly assassinated president job now movies on wednesday. the side

a police station where several other suspects are reportedly being held. there have been angry scenes as a nation reels from the death of its 53 year old president. those guys killed the president. we are going to make them suffer now that the police have found them and taken them to jail. we want them to burn today. my sister's house is now the scene of an ongoing investigation. his body said to have been riddled with gunshots has been taken to a more, you know, marie says, wife martine, who was badly injured. and the attack is here in miami. receiving medical treatment, a couple of 3 children are said to be in a secure location. the biden administration who call the assassination horrific a monitoring the situation in haiti closely white house press secretary gen saki. this is the us will support an investigation in the presence death is calling for stability in the beleaguered nation. well 1st i would say that it is still, it is our view and we continue to call 4 elections to happen this year. and we

believe they should proceed. we know that free and fair elections will facilitate a peaceful transfer, a power to a newly elected president. and we certainly continue to support haiti's democratic institutions. given that haiti's last planned elections in 2019 were delayed over in fighting. that may be easier said than done. but we had been ruling by decree after the majority of parliament was dissolved in january last year. now both claud, joseph and ariel on re both senior politicians claim they're in charge for the us special envoy to haiti says joseph is the new leader. as does haiti's ambassador to the u. s. bullshit. edmond, where you can pay the primary job if they want to come in. when the others, however disagree, she jumped in and see the void of power. but if you talk to politicians and human rights organizations, 80, they will tell you that he don't have any legal authority, no more with us,

wherever to conduct anything in the name of the government. he is now a precarious tipping point. this is a nation already dealing with abject poverty, political instability, and potentially worsening security situation. for the people, the stakes couldn't be higher, and the gala carl g 0, miami, florida. let's bring in jorge restriping. he's a director of the conflict analysis research center. he joins us by skype from budget jorge, given that the colombians, a confirmed to the some of the people, at least were members so full. and then because of the colombian military, does this suggest to you that this might be a mercenary operation, rather than the colombians getting involved in internal affairs? yeah, definitely. it is a matter of ex, military policemen, retired members of the security forces,

hardly putting forward her services if you can call them that way. the national criminal organizations course has a political motivation. and of course it has a lead to go in. but it's like a national, organized crime, having the relation effect on the democracy and regimes and governments in the region a whole have there's no governmental, colombian governmental connection between haiti and what happened with the leader of hated is a then a criminal element to this. oh definitely i do believe that there has been criminal interests from these large criminal organizations in this part of the hemisphere that are having high impact in political and has happened before from guatemala to what i why, of course,

from colombia here are equal on the as well, in the past, these large and high level organizations' criminal organizations used violence against democratic regimes is the 1st science that it reached such a large scale in the most likely place to hop and was 80 where institutions are weak. there is the high level of political infighting, and important to say also that there has been the relationship between several political groups and criminal organizations in the bio. haiti is the place we're not. the trafficking takes place, big way, big time, over the past several years. but like you say jorge, this has happened before. no, at this level, the fascination of the president is a new thing and quite something. now you may be able to arrest the people who

actually pulled the trigger. but will you ever be able to arrest the people ordered the assassination? they seem to be protected? no, it will be very difficult to know that because, you know, in a very, very little capacity for research in these type of frames, political violins, to these very high level. i actually do believe that the international community as a responsibility to provide a capacity, maybe through the corporation. julie should operation international cooperation live over men of have that will be the best way to start to asian in have to bring about the responsibility they intellectual or they determine the nature of this type of price. but the murder of a president, the assassination of president, that must be sending ripples through the colombian government if the nationals are

involved. indeed, of course, and you have to remember that just 2 weeks ago here in colombia, there was an attack against the columbia presidential helicopter. i need has been blamed again in previous organizations linked to or having a presence in neighboring venezuela. i do believe that the connection with bennett has large interest in haiti through the corporation of that regime into haiti, pulling at boring that hundreds of millions of dollars dollars in haiti has something to do with these. i mean not that i'm saying that there is an interest of the leveraging into externalizing hate, but maybe they organize permanent, gross operating in venezuela. may have been something to do with these prime in,

matter to the security company. it was sudan and egypt that had demanded this meeting, saying the fact that the peer is, again filling the damn amounts to a threat to international peace and security. does not an overstatement to affirm that for egypt the girl is an existential threat. this is a situation that egypt cannot and will not tolerate. later i pressed the foreign minister on what action his country was prepared to take. so all their circumstances where you would consider military action. the matter of egypt, the protection of the rights of a citizen is inherent and is a matter that necessarily any responsible government would apply itself to clearly growing tension between 3 countries. 2 of them with a population of more than 100000000 people and another with

a population of more than 40000000 is very concerning. but the security council is unlikely to take any direct action. diplomats tell me they hope this meeting will force the 3 countries back into african union, lead mediation, james bay's ouch is era at the united nations? us president joe biden has defended his decision to pull american troops out of a gun. stone thing, the military operation will end on august 31st. he insists the u. s. as achieved its objectives after nearly 20 years of war. but the withdrawal comes as a ton of bond, continues to seize more territory. and i've got a thought white house correspondent, kimberly how kit reports. one week after us forces withdrew quietly from boswell, air force base. the taliban is making games from the security vacuum left behind us . president joe biden is adamant us forces will leave afghanistan by the end of

august, nearly 20 years of experience has shown us. and the current security situation only confirms that just one more year of funding that can stand is not a solution. but a recipe for being there indefinitely. as the taliban gave power, biden is now on the defensive. he had this afghanistan future is tied to a political solution. not a military. one piece must be negotiated between the african government and the taliban. but when he was asked if he had any faith in the group, the president had this to say, no, i do not trust. to tell us will keep a small security and diplomatic presence in the country to support afghan horses. keep cobbles, airport open, and protect the u. s. embassy. now we're left with a strategy that less than coherent and by an invitation is going to have to scramble to realize what their priorities in the region are. the taliban,

rapid advance process. ghana stan has put key cities at risk of being overtaken. still by didn't insist the united states won't be at fault if that happens. no, no, no. it's up to the people that are going to stay and decide on what government they want. not us to impose the government on them as part of its humanitarian effort. the white house announced on thursday. it will also ship $1400000.00 doses of the johnson and johnson covey vaccine to afghanistan. but critics argue, afghanistan needs much more, especially afghan interpreters that served and supported us troops and are now in danger with the white house and says it's evacuating thousands of african nationals and their families to a 3rd party country. while their visas are being processed was complete. those who

supported the u. s. mission in afghanistan could be offered asylum in the united states. kimberly hell kit al jazeera, the white house. so the head on out to 0 in india is controversial anti terrorism noise in the spotlight after his oldest political prisoner dies behind bars and has been 10 years since out saddam and gained independence. but find out why many see little reason to celebrate, ah hello if say more, very heavy rain then across southeast some parts of the us could see of trouble storm else. and it will maintain its tropical storm status as it sweets right up the eastern seaboard. one good note is that this moving pretty quickly around 25

a controversial anti terrorism meal law. 84 year old stan swami was jailed last year accused of supporting outlawed communist rebels. he was imprisoned without charge or trial and denied bail despite his poor health. elizabeth for a long reports or new deli, the mourners gathered at stan swami's funeral in the city of mom by on tuesday after his death for the heart attack, they held up signs, reading stand. swami didn't die, he was killed. so if you thank you lot for the, the catholic priest was present in october last year and denied a bail despite his aiding health due to advanced parkinson's disease. he was the oldest of a group of 16 human life activists accused of instigating violence during march by disadvantage hindus. it mod austria state in 2018. none of the 16 have so far been charged or faced trials. no excuse for many who knew stan swami says he didn't

commit any crime that was actually very committed, especially in the last 2 years to the rights of the under tires. and he was trying to help people who had been treated in this manner. and then it's an irony that india and he became in the trial and suffered the same kind of persecution. swami's imprisonment was condemned by both the un and use human rights reporters. we are deeply saddened and disturbed by the death of 84 year old father stand swami . while mom buys tallow ger central jail, his health deteriorated, and he reportedly contracted cobit 19. his repeated applications for they were rejected. so there is a politic one of the, as most senior lawyers, as the government is misusing anti terror legislation called the unlawful activities prevention act. or you a piano, this, you will be a law and the case has been used to actually target prominent human ride defenders

and activists. and to put them away because they are raising questions whether and organizing people and protests, etc. this is the way the status of responding and retaliating the governments release to statements defending the case. it's taking against the activists and the decision to imprison swami and these external affairs spokespersons as the government, as following due process in the case. and that authorities act against violations of law and not against the legitimate exercise of rides. the human rights activists say the fact that only 2.2 percent of everyone held under the anti terrorism legislation over the past 5 years has been convicted, means the law must change. elizabeth param, algebra new delhi in south korea will raise corona virus restrictions to the highest level in the capitol, soul, and some neighboring regions. for monday, the countries revolted,

a factor math unemployment and severe disruptions to food production have seen it. price is 3040 percent, the highest rise in movement decade. the rise in prices and a reduction in farm output is leaving many families in nigeria and niger hungry continued taxed by all groups. are a major part of the problem. how many interests reports on the northwest nigerian state of casino, running out of options. tom was in northern nigeria, i increasingly turning to urban spaces to cultivate crops or murder to them totally . and others like him. i know planting crops on residential areas in the city. the land may not be particularly suitable for agriculture, but he or his family will at least get something out of his efforts. that will kind of remind you, you can see how the land is. but when you are start from farming, being the only occupation you know and has a family to feed, sees any opportunity that comes away. that's what we are trying to do here. before

filling his village because of attacks by gunman, he was harvesting 50 to 60 bags, actually not enough to feed the family, but he says enough to just survive this year. there was struggle to get 5 percent of that much of farming activity. as nigeria is in the hands of small farmers trying to feed their families, and those are the hardest it by violence from both or bandits and kidnappers. agriculture production across the north nigeria, greens, a serial production bout. if it's steep decline in some states, access to fata land trunk by almost 60 percent because of attacks by groups with reduced output comes for shortages and higher prices. and it's also heating those selling local produce at the local market lack of supplies and poor demand. i put in many traders out of business with them. well,

i know that we're not happy that the price of food is so expensive, much of the grains we sell here come from the state when you factor in transportation and the risk prices should normally go up. we have to extra say different times lie ahead and the government is running out of time and options lose that, you know, leave on their farms, def assistance promise. i want to be absolutely without food. and the are the greater number of off i'm us over 80 percent, which means that at least at the district about 60 percent of conditions are likely to go without food without any food in the us poor for tomorrow. and that is definitely the test for an assessment. humanitarian agencies agree with aid worker say the continued violence has put the lives of millions in my area and

other countries of the region at risk since 2019 than i didn't. military has been targeting the m groups yet attacks and kidnapping of villages continue. and many of those who depend on agriculture to feed their families cannot now access their phones. degrees, algae zeta. kevin. it's been 10 years in south sit on a gained independence from sued on to become the world's youngest nation. yet few citizens are rejoicing. they will, rich country has been made by fighting that killed nearly 400000 people and displaced millions. permit us a report from juba. john cox, it is people voting overwhelmingly to the seed from sir don. 10 years ago wasn't a mistake. it would happen to south to don afterwards that broke him the war in 2013. when another round of fighting in 2016 has left him traumatized, it will not only do as had been we had our collect,
