subbing quite extensive that the more flooding iraq are to me and for the south and east in sudan and the orders talk shares all the forecasts for the next day or so. big clumps, heading slowly west ah, the a year ago, one of the largest nuclear blast in history killed more than 200 people and injured 1000. the victims families still need answers. we want to compute just how did dangerous chemicals end up in baby support. let's be professional. it was not intended for muslim. and was the whole stockpile unloaded from the ship? the missing amal and it was the name all in one way or another. membership in an illegal way before join me for their, for the full reports on elsewhere theater. most people will never know what's beyond these. the deafening silence of 100000.

how it feels to touch danger every day. most people will never know what it's like to work with. every breath is pressure with fear. it's not an option. but when most people oh a talk about kill watching out there with me, the whole rahman in dough reminder of all top new stories, tennessee, as president high saeed has imposed the nighttime curfew. landing public gatherings after the prime minister hudson frozen parliament on sunday with the help of the army. now he's denied accusations of

a qu and says he's in full things. the constitution. well, security forces dressed in civilian clothing, stone to the offices of al jazeera in tunis. all the stuff were told to turn off the phones with then removed from the building press freedom advocates have condemned before the closure of alger. there is offices in the country. now the rocky prime minister in washington dc where he's met us president joe biden at the white house with me. the visit follows weeks of discussions between the u. s. and iraq on the question of american troop deployment will allen fish joins us now from the white house in washington, dc with the very latest the our what issues are they really trying to iron out while the been in the oval office. they've been talking about things for some time and we're going to hear from the betty shortly. indeed, what we're likely to hear is that you'll buy news going to a nice essentially the end of combat operations in iraq for the united states. you've got to get back to 2003. remember, that's when george

w bush launched the attack on iraq. at that point it was shocking, or it was all about removing saddam hussein from power. you remember the george bush, donald rumsfeld, and other said that saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction. of course, no weapons of mass destruction, whatever phone you go back to me and 2000 in 3 and george bush declared mission accomplished. but more than 4000 americans have died in that period. a lot more iraqis have died. there is a great deal of instability in the country. and of course, opinion here in the united states was very much split. donald trump decided that he would increase the numbers in iraq to combat the growth of iso. and he was successful in that, on the scale, but the numbers to about 2500. those are going to be the sort of numbers we should expect from the united states going forward, but they will not be combat operations that will be about advising and helping the iraqi military. certainly we had from prime minister could even before he left

baghdad. and he said essentially that the us doesn't need to fight iraq battles any more that his soldiers are more than capable of doing the job. but what they do need is that support that training, that logistical backup. and that's what the 2 leaders of discussing, what is really saying about sort of the u. s. s. priorities in the region. it's been discussed and analyzed, left, right and centre these past few months. well, 1st of all, i suppose you can argue that it proves that the war in iraq was, was to many people a waste of time that the united states haven't really gained anything about that. all it did was create more turmoil in that region. if you look at the war, the aftermath of the war, the militia, the fort, and iraq, and then the growth of bicycle. and the problem is that, that cause. so the united states has exactly covered itself in glory from going into iraq in 2003 in the hunt for weapons of mass destruction that never existed. but if you take the region as a whole,

but you're buying the nice thing that he's pulling all the troops out of us, can stand. the intention is that by the end of next month, all us troops bought a very small force, got to diplomatic missions, and maybe actually a port will be out scaling don't, and iraq. he's talk to about scaling back in guantanamo be with the intention of actually clothing that shows that the us focus is moving away from the middle east that they're not putting all that attention there. the job biking believes that the bigger national security threat to the united states comes from cyber attacks and also from china. and that's where he wants to concentrate his focus. but remember, joe biden has been around washington for a very long time, almost 5 decades. and he knows that while he might be scaling, but in that region, it's not one you can take your eye off. now and i was told alan fisher in washington d. c. thank you. now, canada has made history by swearing in an indigenous woman as the country's governor general for the very 1st time. prime minister just in today,

named mary simon to take on the role at a ceremony on parliament hill. she's a former journalist and ambassador, and long time advocates for the new community. the change comes as kind of grapples with the legacy of his treatment of indigenous people. bring. well, that is an indigenous lawyer and he joins me now from vancouver. good times where the sun, i'll just sarah mr. well, i mean there is no movement to the right direction to address sort of the representation of indigenous people in government. but is it too little too late? well, it's never too late. i would say that in this instance, it's too little. the governor general is ultimately our ceremonial position. and they, they don't really have any power to make decision. and some people have raised the question of whether or not miss simon will be more active than previous

governors general. and i think the answer is probably not. i think that she's likely to tow the line and, and see what she's told. and if she does step out of line, i think they'll speak to, to remove her, but we'll see what happens or i'll not as it runs parallel along lots of other issues. well, one of the ongoing issues that obviously we've been covering out there is this indigenous sort of rights issue continues, but it's all being overshadowed, isn't it? by the revelations of individual indigenous child, death boarding schools and orphanages. i mean, how far down the line is the investigation and how much further do you think it has to go? while i think that but canada can't be trusted to conduct the investigation. when it comes to children in residential schools, they were primarily primarily brought there by the r c m p. so when we look at

canada's role and kind of history and the intention to commit genocide in official documents of the government going back to the early 19 hundreds, i find it incredible that anyone would suggest the candidate self can police itself using the police. the police force that was responsible for helping to enact with genocide. it's my belief in it's the belief of many lawyers across canada that it is time for the international criminal court. it come to this country and to perform an independent in the investigation into genocide and apartheid perpetrated historically. and in the present day when the government of canada, mister, while at if the icpc did investigate, who would they prosecute? who would they put on trot?

except the government and seeing how governments often react in, in historical cases like this, all they can do is apologize because i'm sure you don't just intrude out to be sort of handcuffed and sent to jail. do you i expect that justin trudeau and his entire cabinet needs to be charged and prosecuted with apartheid. the recent record of the house of commons shows that justin crudo and his cabinet have abstained from boating on key issues. that would ends ongoing crises in indigenous communities across canada and failing to take action can be as, as, as detrimental as, as taking negative action. so when we have dozens of indigenous communities across this country without clean drinking water. and we have indigenous children and

residential school survivors suing the government of canada in court. and the government is taking steps to try to punish the lawyers and, and, and ruin their, their careers and been our prime minister. and his cabinet won't vote to investigate why government lawyers are doing that. that is very troubling to me as a lawyer and i, i know that it's troubling to other lawyers across this country. indeed, we'll certainly keep on the certainly want to watch for the time being brief while that thanks so much for joining us from vancouver. thank you. thank you. now 2021 is set to be the bloody us here and i've done it on since the when began keeping records 12 years ago, almost 1700 civilians, many of them women and children have died in the 1st 6 months of just this year. charlotte bellis has more from cobble its been less than 3 months since mohammed

knows that his daughter re 100 dikes, she was 16 and an identical triplet with his sisters in yellow or bray. her wanted to be a doctor, but she was killed in an attack at his school and may, i didn't know if i put him on the issue. the one what i was the 1st one to get to the bombing was really horrible. it's always on my mind. when i got there, it was chaos. there was screams, cries, and morning. there were father's picking up the daughters brothers picking up the sisters. the attack on say it all, she had a high school was cited as the worst incident and a new you in report telling civilian casualties and the 1st 6 months of this year, no group has claimed responsibility for it, but right hon. a sister has a message for her killers. don't told your brothers or sisters. because sir, you are also from this country. the bombing heron may killed 85, mostly young school girls and injured about 150. they are among 783

civilians killed and that's going to stop in just may and june. it is the highest number for those months since the un started keeping records 12 years ago. the you and also says a record number of women and children were killed or injured in afghanistan in the 1st 6 months of this year in dusty bouchee, the victims names have been painted in murals on the schools perimeter where they dies. they call the suiting those who are trying to learn knowledge. they killed in my message or in this part is dave that li, asserting the just have one pending hand and no again. no another thing, sir, in our hand to fight with veins. i asked her in the games,

do you think the pain will be stronger than the gun? course? curse. i believe and is the you in says if ghana stone is on course to witness its highest number of civilian casualties in a single year. we need the parties to step back and away from the battlefield because otherwise we do think based on the data that and the figures and the record levels that we've seen of the 1st 6 months of this year. that these will just keep increasing the necessity. family emphasize with the thousands of vaskins who's also buried love one this year. but they cannot empathize with the perpetrators never show. and i'm the mother of action. no, i cannot forgive them. my wife cannot re, 100 sisters cannot forgive. it's something unforgivable. he says after re hon, his death and his security worsens. the families looking to leave s canister,

the you in is also worried saying is fighting loose rule areas into cities. the result could be catastrophic. charlotte bellis ojo 0. cobble over 2000 people have been displaced in sit on the floods continued to devastate, they get out of the region. they thought at least 10000 have been effective. it see how many state economy hit, but officials expect other areas to be hit in the coming weeks, including the northern state of riven, i'll because of the heavy rains in the e. c o p in highlands. here morgan has been monitoring developments in get out if people he was for to say that they've waited for at least a week for any kind of a to reach them. and they say that they've just started to see government reforms and 8 organizations pausing to deliver a just yesterday. and the situation is already dire. they saying that to begin with they had very little and most of their properties have been washed away by the

flash floods. now let's make it clear, it's not what it's coming from, the rivers that have caused the flood. now these losses are coming from the european highlands due to heavy rent in the highlands. usually what happens is that these waters just flow down the, the mountains from if you're into sedan and then into the river nile. but most of the draining system and most of the valleys and river ways are pathways that these was used to take, have been clogged by. they say waste materials as well as by farm lands. and so people have blog these they say for the interest. so the water was able to flow, and as a result, it had flooded into this district, this locality here and go out of state the treason trial of an jerry and protest has been adjourned until october after prosecutors failed to bring the accused accord among the khan who is the leader of a secessionist group called the indigenous people of biafra. the government blames him for inciting violence in the reach of the he's charged with

and he knew he would be criticized. i did that some of them today about and i did i hello criticisms. however, in then jump in my determination and initiatives because my boss was fewer and unbelief. but he quickly fear doc quint cursing and altering lines that have been an almost guaranteed steeple in his previous state of the nation speeches, specially when he talks about this fight against insurgencies. if you see them walking around kindly shoot them dead, we will be happy for his supporters. this last speech is celebrated with nostalgia . but for the thousands of protesters who took to the streets, the end of his term just can't come soon enough. i may not be there to promised,

and president did change when he became president in 2016. but many of his promises remain unfold. in the past, the president reagan often said that he is reluctant to stay in power, but over the past few weeks, he admit, sees seriously considering to run for the vice presidency hoping to be immune from cases he will most likely face when he steps down from office and towards the end of his speech do, terry said he would have to stop talking soon because he needed to go to the bathroom. as if on cue, the crowd in congress laughed at an irreverent president. they still continue to support. what's the big deal? the state of the nation, speeches and, and we'll report cards and administration achievement to the filipino public. but sometimes it also highlights it's an adequacy jamaila dog,
