4:00 pm
by the train tracks the fires, climbing up the hill just behind us on the ground. this is what the business of fighting fires looks like. holding back, the inevitability of mother nature's fury is dangerous and exhausting work done to give whatever the hope is, the fire will stop when it runs out of fuel. but for the moment, the fuel is everything inside the this is al jazeera. ah, i'm the clock, this is a new life coming out for the next 60 minute. tensions in sudan is protest is cool for an end to sharing agreement with the military after last week contented. 3 germany, social democrats,
4:01 pm
say they have a clear mandate to need to sundays votes, but months expected. coastal areas of the spanish island of la palmer put on high alert whose lava from its all kinda head towards the sea. blackouts and shortages of goods in northern china as a nation deals with balancing its economic growth and fight climate change about the same to the fault. the ryder cup is back in the hands of the american author wrinkled when the earth on home. so ah, so we begin to see on wed tension is deepening between the military and civilian factions. of the transitional government. it was created under a power sharing deal to oversee the countries move to democracy. but protest to say they want the administration dissolved, accusing the military of trying to seize part. the forces have accused the civilian
4:02 pm
politicians of failing to govern property. their relationships been further strained since last week's attentive coup. why have morgan standing by 1st in call to say hipaa as a se, tensions growing? what are the latest developments while the special representative of the united nation secretary general, who is the head of the un mission here and to dan, has met with the deputy head of the council, as well as with the prime minister to try to mediate between the 25, he has tweets it out, that the tension between the 2 type is not something that benefit for the 2 countries, but rather that there would be lots of games that are lost in this transitional period. now of course, this all started as an, as the aftermath of the attempted school last tuesday, after which we started hearing a statement from political parties from several committees that the military needs to be transparent with regard to the interrogations of those who are suspected to
4:03 pm
be involved in the attempted coo and that the military itself needs reforms. this is something that the military has always rejected from the civilian department, civilian counterparts. this is a transitional government that is made up of civilians and military, so any tension between them is bound to not go down. well with this transition that's that is currently going through. and yesterday we heard from a member of the sovereignty council, which is effectively the presidency, saying that his security detail, his military security detail, has been withdrawn. so tension between the 25 is something that has been on the rise since the aftermath of the goose in the cool last week. and now we have the head of the un mission here, who is the special representative of the un secretary general, trying to mediate between the 2 sides to ensure that this partnership between the 2 sides, this transitional government does not break apart what he's, what is going to be the telling element here, if you'd like, i guess a military hold all the strings, certainly in terms of sheer force yes they do,
4:04 pm
but the political parties has something that the military does. a lot of the pete, the processors. i'm the people on the street, and they have been calling for protest on the 30th of september to show them military. that despite the political parties stance as many issues. and despite the fact that the economic conditions have not improved the protest, those who have led the active government demonstrations that lead to the overthrow of president how many. but she led the military to negotiate with the political parties to this portion agreement. they want to show that the military that they stand by the political parties, that they still want to see a civilian government in place. and they want to see a civilian lead transitional government. and they don't want the military to have as much power that wants to have. so this is what the political parties are backing on while the military may, how 4th political parties are back. and banking on the fact that protest says will be the ones to, for the military to make sure that they do not overstep the land. that they do not
4:05 pm
overstep the constitutional declaration. that the power sharing declaration that was time between the 2 sides. and that is what the political parties are hoping would for the military to bad down and to try to basically, and the tension that has been rising between the 2 side. hey, thanks for that service pitcher and talk to him. morgan reporting so the voters have spoken that some message from the leader of germany's center left a social democratic party was one of our lead in sundays parliamentary elections elect schultz says he would like to form a coalition government with the green and the free democratic party the climbing crisis is likely to play a crucial role during the development of dick loggers of the world have spoken very clearly. they said, who should form the next government? the strength of 3 parties, the social democrats, the greens and f d p. this is therefore the clear mandate that the citizens of this country have given these tree should form the next government. meanwhile, the leader of the christian democratic union says they already talked with the
4:06 pm
green party and the f. d. p. the governing conservative party trails. the social democrats, by slim margin, the cd you saw its popularity full of the chancellor anglo medical decided to step down. it is the 1st time in 16 years that the party lost an election. let's bring in tony k, new standing by force in berlin. so dominant goal of shots, he says he has a mandate to govern. yeah, he's pretty unequivocal. he believes that as the man whose party has the most votes and the most seats in the new parliament, which will form in the course of the next few weeks behind me. but that gives him the authority to stake your claim. as the next chancellor of this country, he says that the voters believe that the traffic light coalition, so named because of the colors of the respective parties, read for mister schultz, the social democrats, yellow for the free democrats, the economic liberals,
4:07 pm
but not so socially liberal party and the greens, obviously, the environmental party that this is the coalition, he says that the voters want to see taking charge of this country, taking the government forward one angle america. finally step fan. the interesting thing is that there is one poll. what has been conducted and released today, which suggests that there is some support in this country for this traffic light coalition. and yet we know that from the other side of the political spectrum, the man who led his policy to its worst electoral performance. aman lashes, the prime minister of north run west failure, but also the chief of the c d u, where he says no, although his party came 2nd in the elections. that does not mean that they cannot form a coalition government with the very same policies that mister schultz is trying to form a government with. and so you have loggerheads as one party saying one thing the
4:08 pm
other thing the other. so how are we going to find resolution? what kind of variables could we be looking at? well, that's the really central question here. next that, how do you, how do these parties as it were, pool the differences share the differences, but then also work out something where they can all agree you have on the one hand, you have these economic to liberal, but not necessarily so socially liberal, free democrats who are in some form of talks already with the green party, not as an official leadership level, but quiet conversations having already taken place. these policies tried to form a coalition with angular medical 4 years ago, but failed. because the free democrats weren't quite prepared to take all the green policy policies forward. so what they're trying to do now is to see if they can agree some things so that they could have a strength and hand is the pointers together. those 2 parties in the parliament
4:09 pm
behind me would have more see than either all the christian democrats or the social democrats. so they're trying to strengthen their collective pound problems. but the reality they face is that if they go down the social democrats avenue as it were, then that means the setting some sorts of higher tax ation possibly which those economic liberals don't really want to do. whereas if they go down the christian democrat side with mr. lash at all, that means not bringing some of the social welfare potentially climate change legislation that the greens would walk a lot being talked about. and then one final for here you have is that justice or discussions taking place between policies. now, there are also quiet conversations going on in the kristi and democrats about the leadership that mr. lash it showed or didn't show if you listen to some of his colleagues already to prime ministers of prominent stage christy and democrat states have said that they believe that the leadership has to take personal
4:10 pm
responsibility for their worst ever performance since the formation of the federal republic, after the 2nd world war, sounds like there is a long road of wrangling ahead to say the least w time being thanks very much. it's a picture from berlin. and should just say that in berlin, the german capital, it looks at its 1st female mer. after all this, the centre left, the social democrats appeared to have defended the hold on the marrow post in berlin, assessing friends, this guy, gp on cause to become the cities top official, initial predictions indicate to the greens of one follow up count showed them falling behind are but more still ahead on the news are including bankers expose and night life still stand idle despite the government's desire to bring bacteria, the children go to the last few years could be 18 times more likely to face drought than the eldest. we'll talk to one of those behind a. do you recall? japan talk soon. wrestler will step out of the ring for the last night. peter story
4:11 pm
. ah. so you can go environment secretary says a backlog of truck driving test is to be clear by bringing in train is for the ministry of defense, move follows days of long queues at filling stations with many being forced to close. the business secretary has already suspended competition laws for the fuel industry to allow supplies to target filling stations which are running low. let's go straight to across 170 standing by. i believe outside of petrol station, the right and what's happening the most certainly isn't behind me, is the queue to get into the service station. many things like this, right across the u. k, particularly in the large cities here in the capital. well, this q went back something like nearly
4:12 pm
a kilometer merging with the usual chaotic russia vehicles this morning. and now we have a situation where this station is open after 2 days of being closed down a critical situation. but government, well it took the line that is a crisis crisis. what crisis initially for 5 days on very different now there's real anger out the about the term panic buying. it certainly was the feature of the beginning of the price. if now it's just people running out of fuel, we've spoken to up the road who run out only about a 150 meters away from this station. and so that's happening right across the country. this is on top of a whole range of issues. really, really not just knocking the british public, but making people angry. the situation with the shortage of carbon dioxide which is linked to the delivery process. that carbon dioxide shortage could lead to meet
4:13 pm
processing and having to stop on top of that. you have the position with the extraordinary hike in gas prices right across the world. that is lead to a whole range of energy companies going off. so people are feeling really fraught. what's, what's behind all of this, ultimately, and what is the government doing about it? well, the government that's doing well, it's been chosen not just to ignore it, but more or less to think it would go away. it would seem initially now we have a stance whereby they've taken the range of actions. one of them to lift the legislation against a competition amongst the petro companies so they can help each other out questionable as to how effective that will be. the central issue is the shortage all of truck drivers,
4:14 pm
and that's really effective all aspects of life in the u. k. particularly a fuel. now, tanka drivers, there are supposed to be only 2 or $300.00 to go towards the government. sure. but the figure seems to be much higher than that, and this has been a feature all of rex it effectively. not all of it, but some of it that i did to the anger amongst motorists. they fail that because of the, the whole position on the, on visa, for example, with the government. now thing will they will, they feel venture decided they will allow a number, a small number of 3 month visas to go out to drivers from europe and elsewhere. that they think might rescue the situation, but it would appear not likely. and there's a question mark even about whether or not many of these drivers have been told that they've really got to get out of the u. k. o need to be asked to come back again because we're in trouble. well, that's actually not an ideal situation. so the government is now looking for
4:15 pm
a further measures and we're going to be a cabinet meeting later on monday. that may be a possibility that the military could be in both in one of several guys's want to train. dr. is up in the overall shortage of heavy goods vehicle licenses that could be taking place quite soon. furthermore, the government isn't rolling out using military drivers for the tankers. that is a bit complicated because it's a skilled job to unload the fuel, the petrol stations, and also to load it all in terminals. but the bottom line is the government may have missed just this situation. opinion polls suggest that there's some anger against the government of if the popularity is falling. furthermore, 68 percent belief bricks, it is a cause of this. so that is partially true. so therefore, right now the u. k. standing out for trouble, it's happening all over the world in terms of energy prices. but this technical
4:16 pm
issue is down to drivers and the position as far as the government's concern is that something is going to have to be done. yeah, either way you would be best please if are in that key behind you. andrew with you at the time being. thanks a lot and you some of the in london the it is the final day of the un general assembly, but it won't be hearing from either me and my or african this time because both representatives of ousted government, there have been competing claims for african sounds un seat since sea taliban sees par last month to speak to kristen salumi, who's at un headquarters in new york city, said kristen, that felicity and understand afghans and banish ambassador not now going to speak. so who else is on the agenda? yes. well, we were expecting to hear from afghan us down today. the country was scheduled to
4:17 pm
be the last speaker, and we were expecting to hear from, and bassett are good on the side. he is the officially credentialed representative of the country here at the united nations. but that credential had come up for some debate with the taliban requesting that another man be recognized as a focus person for the government to hail shaheen. they had requested credentials for him to speak. so there was some debate over what would and what should happen here. but is alex i was the, is the officially recognized representative the country until the credentials committee needs. and that's not expected to happen until after the general assembly . so that's why we were expecting to hear from him over the weekend. we did hear from the russian foreign minister who sits on the credential committee confirming that there were no plans to meet until in the coming weeks. but also
4:18 pm
expressing the view that he's our side didn't speak for the government anymore. of course. sharp gaudy, who named him has left the country and taliban now in charge. so all of this playing out behind the scenes, we were not given a reason for afghanistan withdrawing its name from the credential from the speakers list. but this is the background that led up to that the debate over who should properly speak on behalf of the country. also the french foreign minister in the spotlight. absolutely, and you know, the french called out the united states, the u. k. and australia for pulling out of a security for disrupting security agreement that france had with australia. but now france is being called out by molly and brush for pulling out of molly with its troops there. on saturday,
4:19 pm
the russian foreign minister basically accused france of leaving the country. molly says it needs help fighting terrorism. russia, of course, was defending molly's move to higher russian private military contractors. apparently there's a deal in the work there. so it'll be interesting to see the french foreign minister making his remarks with that as the backdrop. he is going to be a pre recorded speech. we're expecting a pre recorded speech from him even though he was here in new york. discussing all of these various issues in the last week. and we're also expecting to hear from me tenicia and foreign minister mon jar, excited. and he will be speaking a mid, a lot of pressure back home on the government's pressure, protest in the street against the president for consolidating power. be interesting to hear what he has to say if he goes through with his live presentation as expected or kristen and thanks for that. take resume that reporting from the united

capital. this network of allie's impact pon usually the vibrant center of bank of unique style of night life. now, it's idle and dark. the shutters were pulled down on bars and entertainment venues in the weeks after the 1st cases of covered 19 in thailand and have stayed down for most of the 18 months that followed thanks to shut downs and curfews. this part of china town is home to a community of trendy small specialty bars. not only do bar owners view the government's handling of their industry during the pandemic as a near death blow, but alcohol control loss predating the shut down have also been working against them. i am at his house, i'm tired. i am embarrassed about the situation by thailand is renown for his great night life. many bars he received awards. why does in the government support the industry? i think these strange laws are supported by big business to maintain them. monopoly of voice is not loud like death. bar owners call the laws draconian in which
4:22 pm
alcohol sales are limited to set hours during the day. heavy taxes on imports and unequal laws only allowing large companies to brew beer and still alcohol. a ban on alcohol, advertising and internet sales are so strictly enforced. bars were fine for posting videos of cocktail making and menus for drinks. delivery. yet large bruise avoid the band by advertising, mineral water and soda that they're the same logos as their alcohol products. here's an example of thailand's alcohol control lot. if i were to take a selfie here in this bar and share it on social media, i could be fined up to $1500.00 for indirectly advertising the brands of alcohol behind me. if i own the bar, i can be fined up to $15000.00 and possibly face a year in jail. alcohol control laws have been a contentious subject in thailand, historically, politically connected, conservative and religious groups have worked to keep them strict and opposition.
4:23 pm
member of parliament, a former bar owner himself, is working to change the laws and save smaller bars and trouble when we open again . and that's always come again. there was file highlight is popularly different times. we really, it's not fun anymore. and yet some who support the alcohol last. see, it's also about safety for visitors. i think towards safety should be up. her id. i think alcohol control is necessary. if we let the alcohol sell us run 3 and do whatever they want, things will get mercy. once thailand emerges from its locked down, curfews are listed in the night. life is allowed to reopen. it's unclear if will return as it once was, or a watered down version. it's got either al jazeera, bangkok, nieland's prime minister says the government has to introduce home quarantine for those arriving from overseas to cinder. arden said a limited number of business travelers will be allowed to isolate at home from the doctor, but then his face growing criticism for monday. 3 who tell quarantine policy?
4:24 pm
well, in 26000 people competed for just 3000 hotel rooms last week. and people in the australian city of sydney could be freed from locked down by mid october. when the double job vaccination rate is expected to hit 70 percent, pubs, restaurants shops will all then be reopen to the vaccinated. heavy rainfall from sight clone glove has flooded large parts of india's eastern coast, leaving tens of thousands without electricity. glove has weakened into a deep tropical depression since making a landfill on sunday evening. but the flooding has cut off hundreds of villages and damage homes across andro pradesh, state dance lights have also brought to number of major roads not in children. born during the past year will face a disproportionate number of extreme weather events in the lifetime that is, according to report from save the children, which says that there is born in the past year. eggs are expected to suffer an
4:25 pm
average of 30 extreme heat waves during their lifetimes. that 7 times more than so important 1960 in afghanistan alone, children could face up to 18 times as many heat waves as their elders. newborns and molly could deal with 10 times as many crop failures as their grandparents and a great risk of children from low income countries and disadvantage communities who will likely face even more di, conditions that speak now with ashing. c. c o. at save the children international, joins us on skype from stock. asking welcome to the program. all of this just brings home how serious the climate crisis is and will be in to future generations . yes, absolutely. what we clearly see coming out of this report is that the climate crisis is indeed a chart, right? it's crisis with children, with, with no responsibilities, we're getting to where we are, but are taking the biggest catch in the coming years due to the climate crisis that
4:26 pm
we see. a lot of what the report shows is that that life is going to be almost unsustainable. in certain areas where 10 times as many crop failures that that's just impossible to live with. isn't that politically as i'm not where i would think it's so urgent to, to, to start to talk about this crisis, not just now, but also for future generations and think about what the impact would be for for the children of today and the children up tomorrow. i can think we've talked before how, how critical it will be for the future generation somehow. how big of a chunk challenge is, what we want to say with this is that it is not too late, but it is urgent that we collect to be now about the governments around the world and the countries around the world. as well as the actors stand firm and the commitment to, to, to the parents agree mental other climate relation related agreement that we find
4:27 pm
out to. cuz this is the time to act. and if we don't, the future will be on bearable for children in many places of the world, right? it is not too late and all this is based on the original. the original current page pledges made around the paras agreement a lot more clearly. research reports show needs to be done between now and we'll certainly close go the forthcoming you and climate summit. what, what needs to happen as far as world lead is concerned. what do they need need to do to step up to the plate? so there's a couple of things about one of the thing is of course to acknowledge that this is a child rights criticism treated such another thing is, is to make sure that they come in and limit the warming to 1.0 degrees celsius. and so being so dependent, so scrap dependence young from appeals that needs to be a lot of of increased financial commitments to help vulnerable communities and
4:28 pm
children to deal with and recover from time to solve this and shocks. make sure that in the responses to climate crisis in the world, but also to be doing to children and communities in decision making and identifying the problem that we're facing. but there's a number of things that is both about building resilience as the size case puddles that commissioned to, to the, the things that we clashed in, in the parents agreement and beyond. yeah, it's not just a extreme weather event and you know, food security is also about access to, to education into health care, especially. yeah, cuz one of the things that we see in this report and in the work that we do around the world is i mean prime as well as cobit and conflict, is having a lot of other very negative side effects on to education. being one of them and we
4:29 pm
know for facts that do to to try much changes to take one example in asia alone, 18000 schools were shopped in 2017 following damage destruction in the region where it's flooding in years so. so education is ruptured access to health services throughout disrupted, and it's how you shift occasions for the children's lives now and for the future. again, appreciate your time. thanks very much. indeed. the thing i see from safe children, thank you. thank you so much. as a major storm looking to target southern japan, this way jeff has details in your world whether up hello. good to see you. we're going to begin with an update on typhoon min dual as it spinning toward the philippine c right now, at one point it did strengthen into the equivalent of a category 5 hurricane. it's backed off a bit in intensity,
4:30 pm
but this is still posing a major threat. so i've now put us forward to thursday. here we go into southern sections of japan. we press play on friday. it's not looking to make landfall steering east of japan, but look at it's going to throw torrential rain into tokyo and also gusty winds. so at this point here is what i'm thinking pretty close to about a 100 millimeters of rain on friday, and those winds clipping up to 85 kilometers per hour by saturday we see an improvement in conditions. now cross southeast asia, we've got the potential for some flooding rains across sumatra in today's and also south of their dry spells across java. but unfortunately not for jakarta, some thunderstorms in the picture for you with a high 31 degrees. we did have cyclic storm glove make landfall into eastern portions of india. it's moving quickly wires so on tuesday becomes a story for goudrow ma, harass straw content, and go where we could see upwards of 200 millimeters of rain, sand and dust storms for southern areas of afghanistan into the west of pakistan on
