final price. and as we do wrong resilience us, the alliance will remain vital to the security facility and prosperity . well, that's good morning from jimmy, the allen dog, and she joyce's life from manila. and jimmy le, this would represent a complete about certain from the philippine president was behind this me then what does it say, but the dynamics in the region why it's important to look back at why this was unilaterally abrogated by president rodrigo that there in the 1st place it was at the time when he's long time 8 and former police chief was denied a u. s. visa by the u. s. government, after its involvement into there is so called drug war that has killed thousands of filipinos in without ation. but there is a unilaterally abrogated a visiting for this agreement with the u. s. long, probably all this partner,

in se, asia, over the past few months, there have been efforts by the defense department in the philippines, by the foreign affairs secretary here to restore this. but what it's clear now is that, you know, the arrival of buzz us secretary lloyd austin, meeting president, would be good at their lead thursday night. and actually getting the commitment actually means that this has been exactly possibly the biggest achievement of both sides. at this point, the visit before this agreement, holla, is critical because it means that us forces are allowed to continuously be present here, although on rotation. but the also increased cooperation between the 2 countries. it also means though that during the time of a disaster upon demik greater operation will be allowed to logistical support. and we've seen basically that since president rodrigo there was worn in the office in 2016 when he declared his pivot. but we're showing that and so the beer away from

its long standing in the us. it's been very clear, but sign as an influence over his administration has been growing. so this effort this shipped by, by the, by the administration official, the highest official to ever visit the philippines and president biden took office is actually a clear signal that the u. s. it's back on track that it's going to do it very best to renew tries with his oldest i live in asia and kimberly, this is we will coordinate important meeting you mention lloyd. awesome as the hi is level us officials to visit the philippines. good. can you tell us what else was up for discussion in that meeting because there are lots of things at play in the philippines and of course around the size china sea. well definitely what was mentioned today by secretary austin is that this year and possibly that means after next year,

early next year that there will be around $300.00 military engagements. mars i'm cooperation trainings. i mean, these are broad strokes, but basically essentially, what this means is that the scale down activities between the 2 countries will be slowly fully restored. and that means greater cooperation in the south china sea, where the philippines is really facing challenge, you know, standing up to find a basically when it comes to their stories that continue start it continue, start to protect at this point. ok, jim, the allon's organ bringing us all the latest. full manila, jimmy le, thank for testers, in guatemala or colon for the resignation of the president and attorney general after the heads of the countries and the corruption agency was dismissed, demonstrates his book traffic and condemned. what they say is brazen corruption at the highest levels of government bubble wrap. hello reports. it's one of the largest social mobilizations,

country is drowning and incorruption and impunity. i many hear the recent unrest, its parts a larger political crisis in the country. further complicating efforts by the biden administration to deal with the root causes of migration from guatemala, which include poverty, violence, and government corruption with tension still high on the streets. more demonstrations are expected in the coming days. manuel rap, hello l g 0. dozens of people have been killed in a tank c turf war in the south african city of cape town. rival companies are fighting for all of a busy routes, the violence, the spawn fear among computers and drivers. robin smith reports with millions of south africans dependent on public transport. the government is not taking any chances. rival, taxi associations have been fighting for ownership of

a busy route. confrontations have raged for years, and it's got worse with more than 80 people killed so far this year. 24 of them in july alone. among those injured a 5 month old baby, penitent drivers and bystanders say they are living in fear. we can't exactly drive like the way we used to use it because you go there we go, the way they got to shoot to guys, 3 guys came in and around the corner. and then with just enjoying that side of the container where we might operate and those guys came towards ending with guns. and then they came shoots. one of our colleagues piece talks of so far,

failed prompting authorities to close the notorious route for the next 2 months. and to make passes available to commute her as an alternative. emissions taken by government have hope to qualify violence for now, at least, but commuters also being severely affected every evening, thousands q 4 hours before making the journey home by bus. for many, it doesn't stop there, fail then for to walk long distances in the dark in order to get home last night. no, no, i have to take the nick. that was it. and then i said, oh no, i'm not please but i'm thinking with lives and livelihoods at stake. commuters effectively help hostage by the taxi was a desperate or inclusion to the vine. and robinson and al jazeera have done

real from severe flooding to more extreme heat, unusual for these isles, a pattern the country is struggling to cope with the shift in the baseline. what we regard as normal, whether that is changing. and we, we say a lot of these examples in data, for example, 34 degrees celsius recorded in 7 to the last 10 years on the, to 50 years before that there was 7 times in the previous 50 years before that. so something that was relatively unusual is becoming much more common. since the start of the last century, the sea levels have already doubled from $1.00 to more than 3 millimeters a year. and in the past 30 years alone, not only has the u. k warmed by point 9 degrees celsius. it is also become 6 percent wetter. on paper that may seem a small difference. in reality, this is the effect. the infrastructure is simply unable to cope. and there is no

quick fix incite in the face of the elements to level will not be possible to reverse on, on, in short time. so there is a commitment to sea level rise as started, which will consist over many, many hundreds of years. even if we stock c o 2 emissions, it is possible why the phenomenon of extreme weather across the continent. recent floods in western europe have reached devastation and rivers in germany, search to levels not seen in hundreds of years. the protection of a very clear that with essentially more heat energy system and the water that we are likely storming us more extreme events which are eventually wetter dryer events. i mean dry up and predictions around sea level. it's

inexorable rise of the races own to find a solution as quickly as possible. the u. k. and italy will host the cop $26.00 climate change conference in glasgow later this year. set against a climate crisis that i've seen all manner of extreme events around the world. the u. k. calls the summit, the world loved best child to repair the damage caused by increased carbon emissions. but there is little detail as of yet what plans the world's 20 major economies have to prevent a further increase in dangerously extreme weather conditions. when i go out there, ah, this is al jazeera and these, all the headlines you as president joe biden has announced a new push to get more american.
