also rescues scar, devastated parts of west and india. the survivors of the heavy rain, the swamp, the 100 villages and japan prime minister, just people to stay at home after a reco number of krona virus infections in the olympic city. on far as small with the latest from tokyo games. and there is a major blow to the u. s. gymnastics team as raining olympic champions. mound biles withdraws from the team finals with an apparent leg injury after her 1st ball. on the news on tennessee, as big as political party is calling the efforts to avoid civil strife after a day of upheaval. it's not urging supporters to stay off the street and once a national dialogue on the crisis. this comes answer. it's accused the president of a qu, for dismissing the prime minister and freezing parliament for

a month lower burden. manley begins all coverage, calm on the streets of tunis, a stark contrast to days of protests. many have not dared to face the omi insecurity forces which you now patrolling the streets and easiest parliament the country, the biggest political group, the inactive party, had caught the dialogue and accused the president of the we reject the unconstitutional announcements. and we welcome all the rejections that have come from most of the the political party as well as some of your. ready patients and we call the changes in people to the com and vigilant and you ready to defense visible? christy. the many came to the streets in celebration and outrage at president case site both move firing the prime minister and freezing the

parliament for a month. the president said, says his decision was taken after following the process laid out in the constitution. nothing to supper. i have taken responsibility. i am taking a historic responsibility. those who claim this matter is related to whom you need to revise the lessons in the constitution to present said who controls the armed forces made a storm warning against any one. taking up arms, saying the biggest danger a nation can face is internal explosion and the dismiss. prime minister, his sham, the, she, she says he will not be a disruptive element. he will hand power to whoever the president chooses like this . like, did you even read the parliament is it also divided today between the majority leading parties in the far meant like and not doing this and who elation will cold and describe the decision of prison. i constitutional dictatorship.

why again? he said this decision, democracy leaving it biggest today, there were also fears of a crackdown on the freedom of press. after security forces stormed al jazeera, the buildings. it's a move out there has strongly condemned. the president's move had fall. i must protest with much of the anger directed enough to party for the handling of the economy and a raging pandemic. this fear it's an unconstitutional power grab that could lead to a dictatorship, a move that would see the end, the jasmine revolution, the paid the way to a decade of democracy. lore about manly out 0. that's because over $200.00 bella correspondent who's covered the tennessee extensively for al jazeera mohammed. it seems that the turnaround you might say by another has a is being quite swift and quite surprising. that's right. so i think another has

realized but the, the conditions on the ground are not in their favor or in favor of their call for more demonstrations. they have seen those decrees taken by the president. yes. today. and they have seen the army from, you know, ranging its stops, ranges ranging from neutral to, to pro president, the army ready to protect the, the decisions and make, make sure they are implemented. the army has been guarding the the government buildings and preventing calls from happening, or preventing consultations for those decisions. well, a strong message from the president yesterday to people of tenicia and another party has received gotten that message not has a history of moderation as well in doubt in those classes whenever there is a huge crisis in teenager and probably that's one of the reasons why tunisia has been able to avoid the fate of,

of egypt and other other of the spring countries in 2013, 2014. another gave major concessions in order to make sure that the national dialogue could reach a national consensus or calculation. they also in 2016 another, decided to to, to abandon its policy of islamic proselytizing as part of its political ideology and introduced itself into a political party. so they have a history of this kind of moves to a piece. whenever there is a, an escalation, and now they have done it again, and they are very diligent, apparently, and they want to continue the struggle by any other means than violence. they have called for dialogue, national dialogue. and they also, they have called upon the bass to remain vigilant and not to allow the, what they call the court against the constitution to, to succeed. they are one of the largest political parties,

but if they've turned you might say, a 180 degrees, to that extent, do you think other opposition parties in the unions are all going to fall into line? just be patient over the next 30 days and see what happens. that's very likely. so very likely because another is this be ahead of all of this, of this contest with the president. the other party is also, they know that a huge chunk of the population is pro pro president place. they have seen demonstrations in the streets and also one of the strongest and biggest movers and shakers in politics and teenager is the yeah, the national union to unions. and they have met with the president. their statement after the meeting showed that they are not against the decisions of how be taken by president please. so just in the same manner, the policies are not likely to decide to escalate on their own knowledge. well, thanks very much for that. update to him. dollar force in doha. let's join

a new fire la boot. he's the executive director and co founder of the nordic center . a conflict transformation shows me out from rebec via scott goods have with us on the program. it seems that opposition parties, maybe the unions to are between a rock and heart play a hard place. they have very little wiggle room at the moment until it's very vital . 30 days is over. yes, exactly. what is it different today and easy it had before before the establishment of the democracy in easier it was a compensation between the flux movement and authoritarian regime decades. today, there is a conversation between a social movement but the more graphically elected institutions. ad we have to know also that this is a young democracy, it's been established and they have done that and succeeded that through the national dialogue, which city not a very good at which was actually the normal price in 2015. i think the

yet and i hadn't didn't talk to you at all. i was just wondering now then that do. and how important is, is that all of the stakeholders do sit down and talk, and is there a requirement to have any extra mediation in there from the e, u, the u. n. or another independent body? perhaps here i think for now what is important is that the decision for all of the political action to sit together that we are no longer within to return the resume . it's an easy, but we're in democratic review. it's an easy and everything has to happen within that democratic process and some graphic framework to do so. the importance of dialogue in there and i think that to even know how to do that and i stay confident that this is what's going to have it. and that's the dialogue to get the national dialogue on this particular occasion. if and when it does happen,

really does need to solve the problem of forming the constitutional court. had the constitutional court being up and running, perhaps we wouldn't be in this situation right now. exactly. the fact of all the articles be of the canadian constitution, it had a legal lack, which is actually the establishment and the certificate up to chicago, traditional corporation, which did happen for the 70 years after the adoption of the got future. so when an article in the constitution is legally not complete, it cannot be trigger politically. and this is what i think. and this is my opinion that the president should not have triggered that article because he's not completely legal yet by the establishment of the khaki. quote, competition court is important to be established within the framework of check and balances of democracy. and if you look at the article 80, it's all about chicken benefits. and fortunately, the court is not there yet,

which i think is the priority in the political process of geneva. so indeed, when you look at in your, in 2021, it has the incredibly large young population estimated around about 30 percent. they need to be engage because they have been the ones that have been demonstrating they have been the ones calling for the government to fall. they have been the ones calling for change. exactly. the movement of the comprised measure from young people into the the challenge is that the political ability is also one of the criteria on the lack of inclusion of young people into the political system and political institutions up to an average of one government every year. the same government we have seen since the 2011. and if you look at the numbers, perhaps 5 percent left them 5 percent that actually people to parliament are under

the age of 35. was created. although in the truck from young people on the democratic political system, so they don't trust it. so there isn't a lot of work in both. i 1st, we need these political parties to be grouped in young people and give them space to be expressing their opinions about the political process. on the other side, we need to be a truck among the both for them to be able to trust the mccracken, which is the process and geneva, and nestle about who the, the executive director and co founder, the nordic center of a conflict transformation. thanks for joining us. a here allowed to 0. thank you. now let's get more on the interval reaction to this e. u has goal for a quick return to stability. the us secretary state and city blink and spoken to the chinese he and president urging him to respect democracy in a phone call. the asked to case i need to maintain dialogue with all sides. melia white house press secretary jen. psyche struck a similar tome. we're concerned about the developments in tunisia which come as

a canadian authorities are seeking to stabilize the economy to front a resurgence in the cupboard 19 pandemic, and improve living standards for all tunisians. we are in touch at the senior level from both the white house and the state department with denise and leaders to learn more about the situation, urge. com and support tunisian efforts to move forward in line with democratic principles. heidi castro has more from washington d. c. those developments are under close watched by the us and today and a phone call between us state departments. secretary, antony boynkin and the president of tunisia, lincoln told sides that he should adhere to the principles of democracy and human rights. and said that open dialogue was needed between all political actors and the technician people. lincoln follow that up with a tweet, saying that this was a good phone call and that he was able to express his support for to easy as

democracy. now the u. s. has been hesitant to call this a qu, whitehouse spokeswoman said that a thorough legal analysis would 1st be required. but that if this is determined to be a coo then us a to, to need, you could be on the line that's totaled one point. $4000000000.00 since the countries revolution and 2011, much of that money going toward the military and security expenses. plenty more have hail out there and use our, including a large explosion. rock say chemical plans in western germany. authorities issue extreme danger warning. and people wait to aid in floods ravaged the dog where thousands of being pulled into emergency shelters. and it's for a big win for a small nation at the atlantic games we'll have that story for you coming up later . ah.

the 1st person to face trial and the hong kong national security law has been found guilty of inciting secession and engaging in what's being called terrorism tonguing kit was prosecuted for riding his motorcycle into a group of police officers. last year. the law was introduced by mainland china in 2020, in response to pro democracy protests. against the 40s wide ranging powers to cut down what they call subversive acts. adrian brown has moved outside the court. judges rule that the defendant understood that the words on his protest banner, acquainted with the idea of independence, the hong kong. in other words, the idea that hong kong should break away from the mainland. the judges rule that he knew exactly what he was doing. any encouraged others to feel the same way. the judges said the tongue, who is 24 years old, a waiter will be convicted of this offense of sedition and also of terrorism. but

he will not be sentenced until thursday, but it's quite possible indeed, very likely. now that he's going to spend the rest of his life behind bob now in the past 30 months or so, since that national security law was imposed on hong kong, more than a 120 people have been charged with violating national security. that means they've all to go, we'll have to go through the court, which means that process could go on for weeks if not years to, to clear the backlog, but this is a very significant day. this was a trial. remember that happened without a jury. the judges, the 3 judges were appointed by the chief executive, terry lamb. and the defendant himself chose not to appear as a witness. so there was a lot about this trial that is very different because, you know, the national security law, remember, runs in parallel with hong kong common law. and the national security law can on

occasions supercede hong kong local sol says the leaders of north and south korea have agreed to restore communication channels and improve relations that come submit to stalled attempts by the us to engage with north korea. appealing, young nuclear weapons program, but my bride has more from sol. connected again after more than a year of silence and with into korean relations at a standstill. north korea cut the line last june in protest against defective launching propaganda balloons from south korea. relations hit such a low, the north destroyed the liaison office which had been set up with the south. but it's been confirmed the leaders of north and south of state in touch throughout exchanging multiple letters number young tongues. on the 2 latest course, i agreed to work to regain mutual trust and foster progress on relations. again, $10.00 south korean president, moon j n,

has made restoring relations with the north, a cornerstone of his administration, and with less than a year left in office. he's determined to get dialogue back on track a sentiment the south korean shared with the north. in this 1st phone call. since the inter korean communication liaison lines where restore today, i hope we can continue to deliver good news to the rest of the world. this announcement coincides with the 68 anniversary of the signing of the armistice, the brought fighting and the korean war to an end. an event marked by north korean leader kim jong and visiting a cemetery for his country's war dead. north korea has in the past use the cutting of the hotline as a way of showing its displeasure with its restoration. now it seems similarly upbeat on the prospect of improving ties, stating the whole korean nation once relations to recover from what it calls set

back and stagnation. also motivating north korea could be the multiple crises. it faces. years of sanctions compounded by food shortages from damaging storms and isolation because of the pandemic, provide compelling reasons. it seems to pick up the phone to its neighbor. robert bride al jazeera, so one person has been killed and others are missing after an explosion in the germans. that you have lay the keys and that happened at an industrial park full chemical companies, germany federal office. first of all, protection and disaster assistance as the explosion is an extreme threat, double cane as long for us emberly. what more do we know about those that might have been injured in this blast as well? will say ok, this was a moment of real concern to the authorities in that part of germany because an explosion such as this taking place in a venue such as the one involved industrial, chemical plant really have the potential for very serious damage indeed. and that's

why the authorities were very quick to say that all those people living in the surrounding area are not area extending to a considerable parts of the country. should go in doors and close their doors close by windows and wait for further information from the authorities. in so far as those who have been injured, we know that multiple casualties have been caused in this incident, and the number of people injured more than a dozen people injured, some differing outlet thing, different numbers, clearly more than a dozen people in cos up in this have been injured in this and phil talk of some missing people following the incident and clearly in the area of the country where this is taking place. well, not so far away from labor. flood damage happened in the course of the past week and a half search to a certain extent, you have people who are already very concerned. and then when people see the footage, the pictures for what actually happens in liberties and lots of people on social media have been posting a video of the filtering clouds of smoke. and of course,

the concern was for mixing with that smoke might be some potentially typically poisonous chemicals that might have been released at the time of the explosion. that's why the officials in labor keys and, and elsewhere as i say, were very keen to stress that everybody anywhere near the incident go in doors from the the way that the, the news is emerging. now it appears as the danger that the real worry that there might have been some poison. this class is not to that being well founded. but clearly this is a master, a very serious concern for the forty's that and the number of people who've been caught up in this, well, very many people in the life of yep, they dominic came there for a sane berlin time for the weather. though his rob, we've not yet said good by the in far, that's what the typhoon may landfall, is no longer a typhoon. it's still a revolving storm and it can be seen as that. there's not a smaller one here. that's but do you some trouble?
