how much he takes all the major strategic decision from around the world. the water rose so quickly at this new jersey apartment complex. it caught many people off guard. ah, this is al jazeera. ah, hello, good morning. this is the owners here news. i live in london coming up a cheese chief prosecutor asks for prime minister here long to be charged the killing of the president. thus, upon taking office, president biden immediately faced the choice between ending the war or escalating. the secretary of state defense heavily criticized withdraw from afghanistan during a 2nd day of grueling by congress un investigations paint
12:01 am
a bleak picture of the situation in syria saying violence is worsening. and californians vote on whether to recall democratic governor gavin newsome's to has 46 people running to face him in school. christiana, rinaldo schools on his returns. european action from manchester, united. but it wasn't enough to avoid the fate switched champions. young boys cause a vague upset in the champions league. ah, we'll begin this news in haiti where the chief prosecutor has asked a judge to charge the prime minister as a suspect in the matter of the president. he also ordered migration services not to let him know he leave haiti. the a f p. news agency is now quoting an official, saying all he has fact the person to present driven emily's was assassinated in
12:02 am
july and quote, documents say the prime minister was called twice in the hours after the death by one of the main suspects. the calls around for am local time lost its 7 minutes. 5 minutes. oh, he has not commented jason mazda is that direct to the atlantic councils address asked latin america center, joined us now from washington. d. c. thank you very much for being with us. so it's quite an extraordinary through developing as we speak one reports, which we've only got from a s b at the moment, but that, that the prime minister. now the fact that prosecutors, he can charges against him. so it's just more and more extra reason why i think it highlights again the, the importance of keeping global attention focused on what's happening to haiti. right out of the situation is incredibly volatile. of course the assassination on july 7th, the, the multiple earthquakes a few weeks ago. and i think that what's happening right now with prime is to on re being banned from leaving the country. the charges being sought against him, further throw into re not only the little fall of the nation,
12:03 am
but also the international cooperation and helping haiti to rebuild from the most recent earthquakes as well. this is a fuming that this, that the prosecutor hasn't been fired all that, that his requests get on to how quickly might to the promised the question. do you think while they saw the question from the prime, esther is within, within the next week. and so there is a great desire, as you mentioned, because of these phone calls that he, that he had on the suspects and the hours just after the president's assassination . that there is a lot of interest and speak with the prime minister about that. of course, nothing has been proven yet, and court and it's gonna be important to have this process. but i think it's also shows the but the importance of focusing on the issue. but also it's also a, frankly, i think of a blow to some of the international cooperation with haiti because the international community has rallied around prime minister on re as there were
12:04 am
leadership questions immediately following the presence destination. i mean, just to go back to the investigation itself, it was quite a complicated one, wasn't it was how much progress had they made? well, they've been interviewing a variety of suspects. there are a number, there are scar scores of suspects that are currently being, being looked into that are being being held as well. of course, there's the links with some of the colombians that were part of the south station. so this is looking frankly at the magnitude of the haters act that was committed against the present. this was an investigation that's actually moving for pretty pretty quickly. and what is the with leave the governance of hey, tim, you mentioned that because it's a question mark over the prime minister's role. it's pretty tricky for the country to be run a tool, isn't it? well, you know, it's very tricky in the me aftermath of the assassination and then again the, the earthquakes only a few weeks ago that occurred in the south west haiti. one of the big challenge here right now is you have criminal gangs that essentially control parts of the
12:05 am
country. and so the governance in haiti is not just at a, at a level of who is actually right in the country, but it's actually a local level of who's actually controlling territory that so vital to get assistance patient people. thank you very much indeed. address me as i thank you for your thoughts on the subject. thank you. well, i don't know. john holman, was recently in haiti following the earthquakes of a john just now from mexico city. were all this political people mean for a country, which is the reading from it, from that earthquake last month is what, as many other problems it's going to be really devastating. no, it's not difficult to sort of to work. we actually spoke to prime minister or a laundry when we were actually in haiti and asked him a few questions. what was his government doing about earthquake relief? what were they doing to try and stop the gangs from getting into wave aid getting to the actual relief? so, and he was pretty reluctant actually to take on those questions one or 2 of them. he actually diverted to his head of civil protection there. so this wasn't
12:06 am
a leader who was king to be the front man as it were, that time in dealing with the earthquake. but of course, if you take away the figure head of the government at a point in time, which a guest mentioned that the earthquake is still having an impact on the south west of the country. it's only going to make things worse just a day. i was speaking with our colleague and hate producer, who was telling me about communities on the coast in the south west who are going through hunger at the moment, who apparently a starving in certain isolated communities that those of us that we visited, that have still to get help in terms of tents and a rebuilding project. so this political crisis couldn't have hit a worst time in the country. i think also some you get touched on. there is gangs, it's not just political upheaval that's happening right now in the country and various, it seems factions of the government that are trying to get control. there's obviously a, there's also a problem with different different gangs in the outskirts of the capital road that
12:07 am
we had to get down get to earthquakes for a long time. traffic just wasn't traveling on that road because 2 gangs were fighting over it. there was a truce declared just while we were there, but it's a problem that's not just not localized there, it's all around the country. so this is sort of different problems at the moment, colliding in a country, which is the poorest in this hemisphere. townhome and thank you very much. indeed. on the 2nd state has been subjected to a 2nd day of tough questioning. over the withdrawal of american troops from afghanistan, washington has been heavily criticized for its hasty evacuations. after the taliban took control of the capital and nibbling can says the rapid fall of cobble took us intelligence by surprise. and they'll be looking into why they failed to protect it . we collectively, over 20 years invested as coronary amounts in those security forces. and in that government, hundreds of billions of dollars, equipment, training, advice,
12:08 am
support and based on that as well as based on what we were looking at real time. again. we did not see this collapse in a matter of 11 days. rosalind jordan has war from washington d. c, u. s. secretary of state antony blank and spent a 2nd day testifying on capitol hill this time for the senate foreign relations committee. while the tone of the hearing was not as contentious as it was before the house foreign affairs committee on monday, lincoln still faced a lot of criticism on behalf of the by didn't ministration for how it conducted the military drop. down and evacuation of us citizens from afghanistan in the last half of august, while blink and tried to put a good face on what he did say, turned out to be a more chaotic situation than planners had expected. one of the us senators wasn't
12:09 am
having it. ron johnson is a republican senator from wisconsin. schechter. if i were just to read your testimony. not having watched any news, i would literally think this was a smashing success. but i do read the news as most americans do, and we realize this was a complete debacle. lincoln also faced questions about what efforts are being carried out in order to provide safe passage, not just to us citizens and permanent residents. we want to leave afghanistan, but also to help the thousands of afghans who worked with the us military service, primarily as translators, and go betweens. during the 20 year long war. there was also the question of what the u. s. is going to do to protect the games that women and girls and afghan stan have enjoyed back in the last 2 decades. but a lot of the questions that senators from both the democratic and republican party had, couldn't be answered because they were questions about how the military performed.
12:10 am
and without the presence of the defense, secretary lloyd austin, it was pretty much impossible for entity blinking to satisfy the senators outraged and curiosity. the taliban has promised to distribute more than a $1000000000.00 of aid directly to afghans who need it. the money was pledged on monday, the 1st you and donors conference on i've got histone since the group seized power . afghanistan is heavily reliant on external assistance. and the takeover has compounded fears of economic collapse. we assure the international community that we're pleased to hear about the pledge committed to afghanistan at the same time we promise on our part. but all the relief fate reach those that deserve it. it's our responsibility to hand out the really fade to all afghans all across the country. the world health organization is delivered its fast batch of more than 20 tons of medical aid to afghanistan was how i've been job aid was at cobbler airport when it landed. this is some of the 1st medical aid arriving from the world has
12:11 am
organization about 23 metrics on essential supplies, including insulin consumables, surgical equipment, and much needed help for us on hospital. the has organization says that it is trying to build a bridge with which it can bring in much needed a for the millions of people who need it desperately. so these do shipments essential supplies will provide medical help to about one point. 5000000 people have been assigned to a number of hospitals across the country, but they were there though that i've said that this is not going to be enough. it is a 1st tranche of the much needed help that the people of atlanta need. and unless that help is provided on a regular basis and that as we heard from the united nation, this aid becomes a regular feature. it is not going to be enough for the people of a gun, a son. and as we heard the united nation appealed to other nation that they don't
12:12 am
need to just provide aid, but make sure that i've run the signs economy does not collapse, and the people do not fall below the poverty line. as a projections are that by the time next year, if the situation does not improve more than 90 percent of the population, all of that is on is going to go below the poverty line. you know, you can use foreign policy. chief joseph borrow says it's in the use best interest to engage with a ton about to have any change of influencing events. have no other options, but to engage with a tally, much engaging those mean recognition not but engaging. mench talking, discussing and agreeing when possible, with the ministers, the con, she'll we agreed that the level or nature of these engagement will depend on the actions of the new government. an afghan man who lost several members of his
12:13 am
extended family in a druid drive last month is calling on the u. s. to accept it made an error and investigate m l a montes says his family was wrongly targeted by american forces. looking to stop a suspected ice law, peroration 10 people including 7 children, were killed in the strike on august the 29th of madison. his family was not linked to the group but were employees of american organizations who had hoped to be evacuated. us came to strike, destroyed a vehicle packed with explosives and prevented attack on cobbled airport. coming up on the news of london, denise ministry will begin talks with political and religious leaders on forming the national unity government. they promise ops. the claims that america's top general secretly called his chinese counterpart twice last year or the 5th president, trump could box a war with china. and his fortunate kit mara describes the new us open champion as the 10th time of the century. and you have with that story,
12:14 am
ah, let me put in his, hosted his ally, the syrian president, bashar assad for the 1st time in 6 years. to need to discuss how the syrian forces backed by russia will gain control of the country's last rebel held areas. putin who intervened to support aside in the war in 2015, also criticized foreign powers who continue to back the opposition glumly, probably when the systems to the main problem in my view is that the foreign military forces and without the permission of the un and without your sanctioning are present on some territories of the country which contradicts international law . and that does not give you an opportunity to use maxim efforts for the consolidation of the country and to move on the part of its restore ation as fast as you could if the whole territory of the country was controlled by the legal
12:15 am
government. it took me quite no money taking into account the fact that international terrorism recognizes no borders and spreads like an infection around the world. i can say that our armies made a huge contribution to protect the world. from this evil, syria is essentially unfit for humans and 10 years after the war there began the situation is getting even worse. that's according to a new report. the un commission of inquiry on serious as all sides in the complet continue to perpetrate, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and stand accused of infringing the basic human rights of syrians. it found instances of torture, sexual violence, enforced disappearances, and arbitrary death claimed on all sides. government forces on groups and western backed rebels, medical facilities, and food markets as to routine targets. inquiry says a collapsed economy and unchecked environmental issues. the,
12:16 am
those are still in the country to fend for themselves. and for the more than 6 and a half 1000000 syrians, you've left in the past decade, the conclusion is that it's simply unsafe for them to go home. honey migalia is a commissioner of the u. n. commission of inquiry on syria. he joins us live from geneva. thank you very much. indeed for being with us. it's quite a big picture that you paint and we don't hear that much about the situation in syria these days. do we know how active a conflict? is it inside? you know, the hope was the syrian state but can control over about 70 percent of the country. and with president, i said having recently one forced term as president was 95 percent of the of the votes. that he would turn to the country and say it's time now to move forward together. you know, tonight the country to, to forgive the past and, and look at reconciliation. but what we're seeing over the country is actually an
12:17 am
increase in violence and increase in the fighting in the south of the country. we're seeing a return in some places to the sieges that we were seeing a few years ago, where the army in circles are town and that tries to force people to surrender our groups to surrender within towns by basically preventing food and medicine and water from coming in and preventing people from leaving and in the north west. so we're seeing increased classes, aerial bombardment, by russian and syrian plains and shelling on both sides by the, by the state. and by they paid in what looks like a start to an increase in the fighting to reagan, more territory that in the northeast were seeing again increased violence. there
12:18 am
were demonstrations against the ton of societies there because of declining, cannot economic situation. they turned violent and there was excessive use. of course it seems there are clashes growing between turkish back forces and then kurdish forces in the north. so when you criticized all sides for, for rights abuses, you don't see any kind of accountability for, for any of this. were seeing some accountability under universal jurisdiction, national jurisdictions and courts abroad. but of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg. and it gives people a sense that accountability is possible, but essentially, the country is, is in bad shape. you know, the economies plummeting the figures for the, for the pandemic car on the up and up inflation is very high.
12:19 am
the food insecurity per syrians doubled over the last year, which is really unheard of when you, when you look at how people are looking at those statistics. and that's why we say it's really lock time for refugees to be either being sent back or being persuaded to go back. the country is not out of the conflict. and the situation in the country is getting worse. and you mentioned the turn to church and how much aid is able to get through at the moment. well, it's now down to the one crossing that the security council agreed. you know, it used to be for crossings on the back then people are saying that's not enough. you know, without one processing there's more increased a coming in through syria. so the other crossings inside the country,
12:20 am
but from outside the country, it's really very limited. and if we look at things like, for example, the, how they're dealing with the pen dummy, you know, the cove x axis that's now been delivered in the country, is below 3 percent. one percent of the population has been vaccinated. and this is a country where, you know, many hospitals and medical facilities have been destroyed. were, you know, the prisons are packed with the chinese people say maybe up to 100000. and you're see, you know, we're seeing the numbers now growing with the 3rd wave of the, you know, the new variance. so it's really quite a disturbing picture at a time when we were hoping we would be saying, you know, the, there's a bit of allowing the fighting. there was a ceasefire in the northwest. elections were coming, the state was mostly back in control over most of the country. but really on the
12:21 am
ground, it's a very different picture we're seeing happening again a commercial you and commission requires area. thank you very much for taking the time to talk to the highest ranking american ministry officer was so concerned that president trump could spark a war with china and his last few days in office he put secret safeguards in place . mark milly called his chinese counterpart twice. in the final months of trumps 10, i'm going to accept from a new book by extra watergate for to bob woodward, the washington post and cnn say the joint chiefs chair assured his counterpart that would not be any sort of attack. the 1st contact was just 4 days before 20 twenty's election with a follow up just 2 days after trunk supporters let a deadly right at the capital on us military fulfillment minneapolis police officers charged with violating george floyd's civil rights have pleaded not guilty to federal charges against the 2000 chicken, thomas lane and derek show,

a way to see game here on the streets of cannot green other parts of guinea. people expected foster developments a quick government military government in place, probably working with severely as to charge a course a transmission of course. but then this often nothing is happening. but the military is also isn't in a tight spot. they keeping president alpha can be who they deposed 10 days ago in detention. they haven't released him despite caused by international community on international institutions like the united nations african union. they can, i'm a community of west african states. they haven't released him. this is a man who still has a significant number of followers in this country. so powerful you can say because he's me the last president. on the other hand, people who, what a post is wrong. in fact, what i'm looking for changes now for them. this is a very, very confusing situation. they want to see results. they want to see immediate action on poverty, on unemployment or security on issues of national interest. but what they're
