a whole. talk to me and 13 and lava from the volcano on la palmer release is toxic fumes as it falls into the atlantic oceans and is full money package has announced his retirement from boxing the 43 year old filipino says now tends to focus on his political career ah well, junior, he is president case said has appointed a new prime minister. he is tough, not sla bruten with forming a government and she'd be the 1st woman to do sir. the move comes after for political parties from the coalition to oppose side on tuesday. opposition politicians have warned, they'll call for more protests unless he reverses has moved to seize power. lost we excited, announced he'll rule by decree and ignore parts of the constitution. a few people
6:02 pm
with us. this is a historical moment where we see, for the 1st time ever a lady who is a prime minister in our country, we will be taking care of our responsibilities in such a moment. it's an honor for us and fortune is in women saying he was our prime minister. women can be successful leaders just as men can and have a clear vision exactly like man. i hope with the blessings of god that you can within the next coming days. nominate the proper names, your cabinet. we've lost a lot of time and we need to act quickly with full harmony between members. if your cabinet work hard to fight corruption. well, let's think tar. correspondent bennet smith. he's on the ground for us in june us. but what more do we know about natural boot and she's a trained geologist, i believe. yes, natural abode and is a geologist very little political experience. she has worked for the world bank and
6:03 pm
she seems to been plucked from relative academic obscurity and thrust into the political limelight by president chi site at a crucial time for this country. she serves at the pleasure of the president and he rules by decrees, walk our national buddhist will have to act independently, remains unclear, but would be an awful lot of pressure on her to quickly find some sort of financial support that you nivia talks. so they can make a budget and stop debt repayment towards the international monitor from will put on hold when a case site sees power in july. and she's also got to persuade these other political parties and civil society groups that should be able to do her job. remember, all this is happening when the president has seized power, suspended parliament. and it's not clear on the legally how she's able to do her job. and the suggestions that the parties in parliament could try and challenge the
6:04 pm
legality of her appointment and the government. she points when and if they try to and act policies that you think move like this will be enough to come. some of the allegations of a power grab well on tuesday for political parties were complaining how the press conference. and one of these political parties had bought the president's initial power grew up 2 months ago. they were saying this was going on too long. the president had still not come up with any forward plan for the country. people accuse of corruption, one of the main complaints here in june is you have not yet been arrested. and they were saying the president had completely failed to engage with them and to watch them and to talk to them. they said that hands are open. we want to talk and making this appointment. the prime minister, the president has again, not consulted any civil society groups or other political parties in the country. he's just gone ahead and done it. and the main labor union has already said today
6:05 pm
that they are not impressed with disappointment. they want the president to consult with them. and if he doesn't, then have to go forward with our own peaceful protests to achieve their business with all the nations forth from juno. thanks so much, bernard. well, let's now bring in for the reason he's the editor in chief of the trend is in news analysis website mesh. com and he will say, joins us now from june. us for the oh, can you talk us through a little more of who national brewton is? i mean, given the lack of apparent experience with crisis management that been and was talking about the, do you think she'll engender the confidence she needs in the public to get her job done at such a delicate time? she wasn't one of the people on the short list. they were quite a few short. and if they were being spread around, people were assuming that it might be an economist, given the fact that the media is, was with just the negotiations with the monetary on. but she seems a bit like
6:06 pm
a political outsider, bit like the president himself, the position himself is an outsider. and this is someone, again who does not seem to come from the traditional political lead to the political class. she's someone coming from academia with a ph. d, she has been at the ministry of higher education. the correspondent i mentioned world bank project that she was leading as part of the ministry of higher education . and so we're still just finding out more about her about someone who seems to be quite new to the stage, but the president is pointing to the symbol in the 1st female foreign minister. and not just in teja, but in the entire world. i do want to get to that in a moment, fido, but in the meantime, i do want to ask you about the kind of message that your site is trying to send you a given the lack of consultation and his consolidation of power over the last few weeks a month, how much will dorothy will she even actually have i think it's a very good question. the president has appointed his own de facto ministers
6:07 pm
in between since july 25th, but not made decision he made on july 25th. he had had a previous disagreement with the previous 5 minutes, but he had a boy that she over appointment over ministerial appointment. that may have been one of the big factors that led to july 25th as well. so if, if he has already chosen some new candidates for ministers, it's unclear how much the new prime minister will have power over the industry that she's supposed to be leading. that's a good question. i'm sure that certainly opposition parties would be asking questions specifically, what we did see, president said enjoy a fairly broad popular support for some months now. but now we're also seeing party is trying to mobilize against him is patients now wearing thin and soon as it does seem that even a group that we're initially supportive of the presidents are starting to become more concerned starting to voice their criticism much more separately. this may
6:08 pm
have been some of the pressure for him to, to name a prime minister as well. we'd expect that he would name a new government much earlier, initially given a 30 day period. but we've seen that that gone way past. and in fact, he kept saying that he would name a new prime minister, and a few days people thought that this was taken quite a while back. even begun to do that perhaps get not quite started through joyce, what you made if you didn't have a government in place or a government in mind. so certainly when we were seeing this part of it, maybe to lay the fears of people who does not apply to who don't have a direction of where he's going with the country. well, he has now actually appointed a prime minister. and as you say, a woman for a change, i'm curious, does he get any political points about it's a good question. we get to see it. and so far we've seen a little bit of reaction on social media. some people who are saying it's tokenism
6:09 pm
to people who are saying it's the symbolic, important step forward. but i will have to see how specifically different people to groups, different national organization, different political parties, react. i'm sure they're all digesting the news now, trying to calculate what the political cost and benefits might be. to criticizing a quick, certainly on the fact that it is a female climate to be in their minds when they're making these political calculations as well. how do you only reason that the editor in chief of that using use an analysis website, mess cow, always great to speak to fall. thanks for joining us again on al jazeera. now moving on on the un, humanitarian chief is wanting that people are starving to death in each your b as t gray region. martin griffith recently visited the area and has hundreds of thousands of people are an urgent need of food aid, fighting between regional forces and government troops. your call began in november
6:10 pm
last year and next year, bryan reports. this boy is a victim of what the u. n. says is the world's worst hunger crisis. he may not look it, but a dime, a ways is 14 years old. his uncle said that after spending months hiding from violence and ethiopia to dr region, he weighs less than 15 kilograms. and he's not alone. the un estimate, hundreds of thousands of people are suffering famine conditions and to grind and millions more at risk to remove to fighting left many hospitals and clinics closed or destroyed the combination of lack of medical care. most of the health institutions that are inoperable and lack of food will mean that people will start to die. fighting broke out into gray, november between ethiopian military and the regional force. the to gripe people's liberation front. were looking at almost a year of fighting that had tremendous impact on the economy and of the culture and
6:11 pm
the ability of people to produce food. so now which we see that many people, they only have one mule per day, the quality of their meals have also deteriorated. some people and now eating roofs and flowers to survive. the un says a de facto government blockade of the region is preventing food, medical supplies, and fuel from getting in. something the government's denied. if you know is, is a stain on our conscience because the, the, the facts show that accessed to gray, where we have been wanting to have a 100 trucks every day arrive, integrate to meet the needs of the over 5000000 people there. we've never reached that, we've never had that, and it's been about 10 percent of that over the last 2 or 3 months. so un humanitarian chief says ethiopia leaders appearing into the abyss and he's calling on all sides to stop the fighting. for this man,
6:12 pm
made famine gets worth alexia o'brien al jazeera. well, there's still plenty more to this news hour, including why family as of the beverage last victims, again out on the streets, demanding accountability, perform the foreign minister who is set to become to pounds next prime minister. after winning the ruling party leadership fight. and an fort lionel messy is also mark harris central mom, and he's here with all the way back from the, from the european counting late. ah, president, rest of type, other ones of peace in syria depends on relations between turkey and russia. are the ones then meeting his counterpart suddenly oppression, and the russian city of 30 last year, the 2 countries sponsored a sci fi deal in syria's northwest and it lib region. the talks coincide with an
6:13 pm
increase and as strikes there on turkish back to opposition faces. this is also the lead as a 1st, a face to face meeting and 18 months ago. we're not going to go stations or sometimes difficult, but with a positive and final result. our department of lawrence fund compromise has beneficial for both sides. i specially believe that there is a very big benefit and turkey and russia keeping stronger relations each passing day. the steps we have taken with russia relating to syria is of utmost importance . well, let's talk, correspondent russell said he is in is found both for us. russell, this is obviously a significant moment for the rush attack relationship. what is i'm actually hoping to get out of this meeting. well, let me ask you this meeting is happened in that time. time dead. the turkish american relations are further strayed once close to allies, turkey,
6:14 pm
and the u. s. they are now growing increasingly growing apart. just a week ago, president was in new york, attending the united nations general assembly, and the church aside requested a 11 meeting with president by them by the, by the team rejected to have such a meeting with president audible. and so press, one was quite disappointed and angry on the way back to turkey while briefing to took his journalist to say that he has managed to work well with the previous presidents like president bush or bama trump, but not with by them so far. he also said that he and biden failed to, but he's, they are differences in a meeting in new york. he said also they didn't have a good start. so once he got back to turkey, one day later, after a prayer in the stumble, he went on criticizing more and more. the president by the says that the u. s. a's
6:15 pm
continuous support to terror groups referring to the us partnership with y p g. the kurdish group in north and syria link to the peak at k says that that support is put in a great race to turkish national security. so, and he also noted that turkey intend to buy a 2nd batch of $400.00 me files defense system from a russia right after this statement. you ask the senate committee on foreign nations want to turkey, that approaches of russian made defense systems will mean more sanctions were tricky through the counselor which is designed to the content the, the us is adversaries from for went from a horse by action against the u. s a considered in turkey, and u. s. a being the nato allies. this is quite
6:16 pm
a specific and very much occasional decision or event that is happening between the 2 countries. when the other hand on like kids with, unlike our bonds relations with biden at once, said that he has an honest and good working list with president put in. and he is willing to to, to, to refer to the 2nd information with moscow. so the meeting that took place in which he had happened in such a political and vitamin so the, from the american perspective. well, the most important one is whether ad one is going to deliver the statement that tricky might buy a 2nd batch of that's what 100 me size or not. if one does that all the turkey decided to go on that that, that could be another breaking point in turkish american relations. on the other hand, just before the meeting there, but the spoke person from persons from both sides said that syria is going to be on
6:17 pm
the top of the agenda. just recently, russia has been escalated, is as far as like on a live, the last stronghold of the seed in a position forces back by turkey. turkey is very much concerned that an escalation further escalation could trigger. a new we will refugees to was 20 was turkey is already more than 4000000 refugees and prison out of the one. according to the spoke person has asked him, put him to deescalate the, the distribution there. another agenda, topic on the agenda that took his president as president 14 to help turkey remove the white p g forces alongside his border in north and syria. so after the meeting, that hasn't been any statement to the press, but the president says that it was a beneficial meeting was president put and said was beneficial and comprehensive. of course we do not know exactly what had been taught whether they had read on the
6:18 pm
asked 100 systems or any agreements regarding to indic. we do not know that yet, but pres, one is about to landing on. and if he talks to the depressed that will have answers clearly a lot on the agenda, they wrestle with all the latest from it's tumble. thank you, russell. well, let's now bring in rachel l, who's she's the deputy director of and a senior fellow with the europe, russia, and you raise your program at the center for strategic and international studies. she joins us now from virginia. rachel, just picking up on something that wrestle was saying that how much is this meeting about strengthening ties between turkey and russia, or rather sending a message to the united states? i think the previous commentator is right that there the u. s. turkish relationship is that in a difficult place right now, and one is certainly disappointed with the degree of us support teachers positions and syria. and as a result has tried to hedge a bit and move closer to russia. so i see this meeting, and so she has
6:19 pm
a very public facing meeting to demonstrate that russian turkey can still be partners in various places throughout the world. but at the end of the day, i think this is more of a continuation of a marriage of convenience. between russian, turkey in which there cooperating to advance their short term interest. so those would include things like economic and energy cooperation, managing the situation, and particularly along the border and pressuring nato and drawing the attention of the united states. but i think it's important to remember that there's a great deal of divergence between turkey and russian with regard to their long term goal. here we can find examples in the balkans, the caucasus, and of course syria. it's curious to me that in this meeting, they talked a lot about compromise, which sounds more of a specific agreement about what each site will do and more of an agreement to stay out of each other's way. it live. i think it's significant that no new our fields,
6:20 pm
we're now in fact, you know, this has become a russian narrative that almost pushes turkey in the corner, suggesting that there is more defense cooperation way between the 2. and turkey is actually tried to downplay that the focus of this meeting cooperation rather than syria. rachel, i'm sorry, a little more about the weapons deal that wrestle is talking about as well. because as he mentioned, we are already hearing warnings, new s, senate about sanctions. if that wasn't steal, goes ahead, do you see any of that actually happening? well, i certainly hope it doesn't, because anger hasn't subsided in the us or nato countries with regard to turkey's purchase of the s 400 m. those taxes are still in place. they have bipartisan support here in washington, and i know that they're taking a toll on and already struggling turkish economy. i think there are other things
6:21 pm
that, that are related to the $100.00 that undermined per piece own security interest. other than that economic impact of the sanctions limits, turkeys access to us defense equipment. it cuts turkish industry out lucrative co production deal. and at the end of the day, it actually undermines nato air and missile defense architecture and turkey benefits from will let me ask you then about nathan, because this looks like a deepening split between 2 nato allies, the u. s. and turkey. even if this is about optic moving closer to russia, what does that mean for the alliance? i think it's important to watch turkey behavior in nato actually when it comes to things like that recently concluded with support mission and i can't stand so much turkey partnership with aspirin to the need organization, turkey. it's actually been a pretty responsible actor within nato. so at some level,
6:22 pm
it's more about the rhetoric rather than the action with this one exception of the s 400. but as i underscore it before, it really does hurt nato, its ability to defend turkey. it savages nato's inner operability of turkey. has these different systems that can work together. and then probably most importantly, as you've alluded to, undermine trust and political cohesion in nato, which i think it's exactly one rush of schools in approaching turkey in this way. rachel, who said the deputy direct and senior fellow with europe, russia, you raise your program at the center for strategic and international studies? great. can you expertise with a phenomena there? thanks for joining us. rachel. thank you. when jordan has fully reopened its main border crossing with syria in an effort to improve economic activity in both countries, syria has been struggling with the impact of us sanctions, while recovering from a decade long civil war. jordanian and lebanese officials have edged washington to ease those measures in order to facilitate trade in the water country. the u. n

's lose their immunity from prosecution. since july, but our has been trying to initiate the prosecution of those believed responsible for failing to act once they were told of the potential dangers of the materials stored at the port. that's beside is one of the very rare judges who did do
6:25 pm
everything in his power to go after the initial space on the evidence that he has. they started with media campaigns against him. harassment reports at the tar is reported to have received a verbal threat from the law that it would remove him by any means. the iranian back group has not commented. we have reached a new level in this country where the judges that cannot be bolt or drive, now are threatened. but not only threatens threaten publicly using the press investigation if leading somewhere where they will. they don't want to go. the tars predecessor removed in february by a similar legal challenge brought by senior officials. he had accused of criminal negligence. so far, the investigation is focused on who was responsible for unsafely soaring stuff, highly exclusive material supports, but it's still not known. what caused the fire? that triggered the block,

6:27 pm
but the magnitude of something that no one had anticipated. and despite all the technology advances that we have, the images, computer modeling, the, the scientific knowledge, i didn't anticipate the flow of the lava right now. what we have behind me is a flow and lava on one side, and then another on another stream. on the other side. it's become a torrent of lava flowing into the ocean, creating some sort of delta by the ocean. of course, the animal, the sea life sensing danger must many of them have left the area. but we've noticed that the ocean as change in some areas color it's, it's gotten murky and grain. wealth is toxic chemicals being spewed inside the ocean. also coming out on the cloud, there's also minerals, which in the long run, scientists would say, will read, will bring more diversity and more mer marine life in this area. but in the short term, this volcano has called enormous destruction as we saw people. and then i saw this
