2:00 am
a police we have seen and power and passion. we tell your story. we are your voice, your news, your net out easier? ah. the secret wilson dealings of dozens of world leaders exposed and one of the biggest leeks of financial documents ah, are from to harvard when i'm come out. santa maria, this is the world news from al jazeera. at least 13 people killed in a bomb blast in cobbled it is the deadliest attack since us forces left afghanistan . also coming up a report from mexico with thousands of marched against abortion. can we just say
2:01 am
that that is a basic right that everyone has to know that they will be safe when they enter a healthcare facility? jabal jap, our debate of vaccine mandates in the u. s. as having an impact on an ready, tight label. ah, sir, a huge leak of financial documents, perhaps the biggest ever has exposed the secret dealings of some of the world's richest people. this collection of nearly 12000000 files was published by the international console him of investigative journalists. they have called it the pandora papers. the late fall purportedly show jordan's king abdullah z a master luxury property portfolio worth around a $100000000.00, an allegedly disguising purchases using our offshore companies incorporated in the british virgin islands. his lawyers say all the properties that were bought with personal wealth as a by johns president, ill ham aaliyah and his family and as close associates. they have been involved in pro deals in the u. k. worth more than half
2:02 am
a $1000000000.00. the olives have been accused of losing their own country, used off shore companies to buy you k property, including a $45000000.00 office block for the president's 11 year old son. revelations could prove particularly damaging to the u. k. government highlighting a failure to create a registry of offshore property owners despite repeatedly promising to do so. so let's start with will. if it's given, he is a senior reporter for the group behind the release of the documents on of the names that jumped out to us all. immediately the reporters looking through these dead was the king of john abdullah. the 2nd that's on one hand, because we found his passport, literally in these documents, but also the she and number of shell companies and secret property purchases that we were able to establish these. her properties worth over more than $100000000.00 that show companies connected to the king have purchased over the years, including many multi $1000000.00 properties in a very fancy neighborhood in california that were purchased her during or after the
2:03 am
arab spring revelations. there's no indication of suggestion in our reporting, but this is indeed a legal. but i think we have certainly asked the king, why were these purchases made through show companies? why has none of this been disclosed publicly? and what if any connection do these purchases have to the state of jordan? ah, an experts we speak to say that it will be terribly embarrassing for a king who prides himself on a reputation as a modernist and an ally of the west. or i would say other names that jumped out at me were obviously the president of kenya, who literally appears as a 2nd beneficiary of a secret foundation in panama. again, this is a precedent to, for many years. and even a few years ago, sat down with her herb bbc interviewer and said, if any one has something to tell us that we haven't been transparent about, let them tell us. and i suppose today with a pandora papers were doing just that. so lots happening here. rosalind jordan is
2:04 am
in washington keeping an eye on it. oh, let's start with king abdullah. then rosa. how damaging do you think these revelations are likely to be to him? well, it depends on whether the king is having a, any current political problems in his home country of jordan. and that's because, even though there have been criticisms leveled against his leadership in recent years saying that child the king has not been as much of a democratize or as other people in jordan would like that he has not made it possible for more people to improve their economic standing or to improve their access to capital market so so that they can expand on their business ambitions for example, or that he has not opened enough political space. so that more members of jordanian society can be engaged and actually have influence in the political process. if they're all of these new revelations, a tap into some of that underlying
2:05 am
a discomfort or distaste for roger king of dallas. busy a leadership then certainly that could pose a political problem for him, but if people are focused on other issues, a may not actually resonate with them in a way that top haps, another a political leader in another country might have to worry. so it really depends on what that underlying level of discomfort is. with came the dull was our leadership right now. okay. i mentioned the u. k. they're the property laws and, and property registers which haven't materialized clearly. so the, you can not looking so great the what about the u. s? well, here's the thing about the united states. yes, there are federal laws that talk about taxes, shelters and does being punished for tax avoidance in certain of the schemes. but those laws only go so far, and that's because we have a devolved,
2:06 am
does of federalist us system. there are certain laws that are a, that apply to everyone, regardless of where you live. but then there are 50 states and under the constitution's 10th amendment. any, any, a situation that is not explicitly governed by the federal government here in washington? well, the states can make up their own laws, and certainly that is a apparently the case when it comes to the state of south dakota. which apparently has decided to get into the business of creating a, of the possibility of tax shelters and, and other other schemes that make it easy for very wealthy people to put their wealth in a place that wouldn't be subject to a u. s. federal tax or paying the full amount of u. s. federal tax, depending on how good your accountant is. and so, when you consider that to the new was leader of ecuador, mr. a lasso is a,
2:07 am
is, has been alleged by of the pan dora papers to i have been involved with some of these schemes in south dakota. it does raise eyebrows, but let's not forget, south dakota, and this is really getting into the weeds, was represented by a couple of democrats here in washington for many years, who were very, very much involved in the senate banking committee. and certainly they would want to make it possible for their states residents to have access to these sorts of businesses because those businesses named jobs. so it's going to be really hard to see a state try to crack down on these sorts schemes if it means that it's residents are going to have access to good paying jobs. you know, there aren't a lot of factories any more in south dakota or in the mid west for that matter. and, and so much of the u. s. as economy has moved to services. so it's kind of surprising that more states haven't been um,
2:08 am
uncovered in this reporting along with south dakota in terms of providing financial services is the term to of the very wealthy and the very influential. thank you. rosalind children full events. rosalind in washington, dc on to other news at least 13 people have been killed in an explosion in afghanistan's capital campbell, a bombing which targeted the entrance of the 2nd largest mosque in the city and memorial service was being held. therefore, the mother of the taliban spokesman zab. you hold on, which i hid. some have been javert has more from capital. what he's were brought to nearby hospitals after sunday's attack in the afghan capital. um for my, for the money. i don't know the exact place i heard a loud sound. all the people were running away. nowadays, the situation in afghanistan is very bad. i hope god will help us. right now, always are closed. and we are waiting here and we don't know when they will help
2:09 am
and away we were about to leave. it was supposed to be a memorial at the city 2nd largest mosque, a chance where the people in cobbled to meet w lama jaw had the thought yvonne's deputy information minister an offer. condolences for his mother's death. hundreds of dollars on support of the needles had gathered to pay their respects. multiple tears of security were set up but couldn't prevent the attack. gobble has seen unprecedented safety and security in the last few weeks. the checkpoints gone an unrestricted movement in the streets. minutes before which i had been to the memorial service, he spoke to el dedira about the threat from iceland have gone to stun thy shed. the mo kara police that i sell is not a visible thing. here they are and hiding some disturbances have been seen in kabul and gyla bad, but they are not present and other places we are paying close attention and we will not let them create and wrist. and our suggestion to them is that they don't instigate fighting inside afghanistan or this, this is an islamic country, there is an islamic government here. foreign forces have withdrawn from the country
2:10 am
. there has been a major jihad done against foreign occupation. so every one must respect us, and if they don't respect this, they will face a very powerful reaction from afghan citizens and also our forces. we will filter them out and will destroy the hot outs. but destroying small groups with one or 2 eisen fighters is easier said than done. although no one has claimed responsibility . analysts see patterns with similar attacks which have been taking place in easton, of gone to sun as low. so for example, i saw for a few years back, there were downgraded a lot by the efforts of foreign security forces. the foreign student 1st, once an appointment, but over the past years or so, it has 3. so has a witness and we have written as a resurgence of their activities. so it continues poses a threat and one considered a 3rd off langston. hassan parents has been largely under estimated sources of told, out of here a number of people were arrested after the attack. balaban fighters have been
2:11 am
carrying out raids in search of i from fighters. in the last few weeks, dozens of been arrested in connection with the tax and cobble and bombs targeting fall upon fighters in july about if security deteriorates. it would further complicate a fragile effort for millions of afghans. enter c is increasingly worried. about predominantly, we are worried about their impact of the upcoming winter, and it is very cold in afghanistan and their needs are mounting with the challenges we see with lack of physical cash and banks being closed. we don't have access to our bank accounts and they have reason to be concerned. in addition that don't nurse don't seem to be able to translate their pledges into actual grounds. the new taliban government has promised its citizen, security and safety and vowed that complicated affairs such as governance and education will be thought of later. but if an attack can take place despite heavy
2:12 am
security in the heart of the capital, that dream of a peaceful, secure life under taliban may remain just that farmer job with other there are a couple very pleased to well enough. that was what a dock to al jazeera professor of political science at the university of hartford on scott from washington d. c. did i thank you for your time, mr. mad. so it's basically i, so cale iceland, afghanistan, against the town about how, how do you see this playing out now that the telephone is in charge? well historically, if we did take a look at the fight between against isis key and have one that actually defects from t t p and 2015 when the pockets on military wages are against the pakistan, the taliban and the defect to the action district off of wellness on so the nato
2:13 am
forces actually, or the afghan forces, even special forces, or even the mother of all bomb. they were not done much effective as the taliban was effective in fighting again said diet, what are some in of one is done, but that was the different circumstances. as we all know, that if the metric warfare is very difficult in avalon, hassan, or in any country actually, but specifically in a mountain and mountainous trains of land. and there are many other factors in place. so the u. s. force as a mill, the nato forces, let's say that way. they realized into the war in afghanistan, but it wasn't about defeating the taliban. it was about controlling or then eventually almost working with them. do you think the town would take a similar view towards iceland, afghan sound after a while? it may be that actually it's not about defeating them or or can they even defeat
2:14 am
them? well and there's a significant difference between the taliban and i says key. i think kate doesn't have a needle in afghanistan. i says k doesn't have any idea ideological beef and have one is son isis key. actually pledge of allegiance to the alba, the the original diet that originated and syria and 8 r a. so they want to, they want to have a, they have a universal ambition. they don't, the ambition did object to was don't actually just limit to have one. it's on order one today to have one. if on is just there. what are some province but natal about actually have to have a lot of that. but nationalistic ab ambitions, actually the have at the word afghans the never actually intended to export the idea of g. 2 across the border to enter to other countries.
2:15 am
that's why the need to or, or the united genes didn't have any problem with the thought of them, right? ok, so i, so in afghanistan and other offshoot of the, of the, of the large eyes who group and just sees afghanistan as a new theater for them almost in this sort of regional wide attempt to taking over exactly. isis k for example, have the money ambition there not only have ganeth on might be the ed this could be as if scripted, you dipped for them, but they have money there. for example, they are very much anti she or we are we a witness? verde grew some attacks on even infant children art hospital than afghanistan on hindu templates. so ad die ish, what are thought is not limited to have on a sunday have that china, for example, the, the label or russian states. and so they have
2:16 am
a universal ambition. afghanistan would be just a breeding ground for them there at this moment, tied up. my voice was not great to get your thoughts. thank you so much for your time. thank you. in the news ahead, those are his scramble to a verse. an ecological disaster offer a pipeline leaks off the coast of california and spilled gallons of oil into the pacific and the cost of the volcanic eruption in the canary islands. we don't to ireland is losing their lives. ah hello, here's her headlines for the americas. we've got disturbed weather as stretching from paraguay rate toward the southeast of brazil. it will eventually make its way into rio de janeiro. so this is gonna kick down your temperatures. you go from 33,
2:17 am
down to 24. so those thunderstorms really cooling the atmosphere. rain is piling up for the pacific coast of columbia, but i think we'll get into some sunshine for bogota. a cloudy day and lima with a high of 17 degrees, jolts and bolts across the caribbean. more so for the eastern portion of cuba, jamaica also spreading into some of the islands of the bahamas on monday. now eastern portions of the united states. same goes for the u. s. gulf states. we've got a lot of what whether fallen here florida panhandle, as we head toward alabama and georgia and around the great lakes still disturbed weather here as while pushing into new england a pretty good batch of rain moving through boston. in time for western canada will likely challenge some daily temperature records this week in the province of saskatchewan. so regina, you're up to $27.00 degrees on monday. we also got high heats across areas of california. so we've got 24 for san francisco, full on sunshine in los angeles with a high of 28 degrees. that's it,
2:18 am
that's all season. ah, oh, al jazeera world reveals dramatic pictures from garza in may 2021. i've lived there for a number of years and it, there is nowhere safe. and god, i can't dang to his really missile attacks on for tyra books. why we're tired school of families, businesses and media organizations. simply blown up. goes a 60 minute warning. oh now which is 0, lou. ah,
2:19 am
what i'll just say were, these are the top stories they sour jordan's king abdullah. the 2nd is among the wild leaders and billionaires whose secret business dealings have been exposed. and a huge leak of financial documents, a cycle. pandora papers also review u. k. property deals by the president of azerbaijan. and his close circle worth more than half a $1000000000.00 lakes highlight the failure of british governments of the british government to register offshore property owners. and in other news, at least 13 people been killed in an explosion. the afghan capital, the bombing targeted, the 2nd largest, most in cobble, a memorial service, was being held there for the mother of a top on sports. libby as coast guards, intercepted a boat carrying about $500.00 refugees and migrants to europe and has returned them to libyan shores. another vessel rescued. 65 people travelling from libby on a wooden boat on saturday in recent days. libby and security forces of detain thousands of migrants during graves. officials describe it as
2:20 am
a security campaign against illegal my direct migration and drug trafficking. thomas garafallo is the libya country director for the international rescue committee and says, europe needs to do more to help the living authorities. delivery coast guard is not really capable of monitoring the the, the crossing. and so we're just national rescue committee have have called on the european union to do more to start their own search and rescue operations. that's one thing. on the other side, in libya, there really isn't any ah visibility into what happens inside the detention centers . we are, we the, the i r c along with you and hcr and, and some other humanitarian agencies have some access into the detention regime. but it's quite incomplete. we're able to provide some assistance of a life saving nature through our medical teams. but i, a, by and large the,
2:21 am
the situation is failing the not only the asylum seekers, but also many law abiding peaceful people who have been swept up in this effort by the libyan authorities to, to stop migration. algeria has closed its as supposed to all french military flights as diplomatic tensions grow on saturday, president abdulla magic turbo, ne, recalled his country's ambassador for quite consultations and follows newspaper reports that the french president him on your micron, said algeria is a political military system as were his words, had re written the history of its colonization based on a hatred of france. that issue, catholic and conservative groups in mexico have rallied against a court ruling that could pave the way for the de criminalization of abortions across the country. on laura palo as more now from mexico city, were walking down the main avenue that cuts right through the middle of mexico city with several 100 demonstrators. now this march was organized by religious
2:22 am
institutions, as well as anti abortion groups that are against a recent ruling by mexico's supreme court. that effectively decriminalize is abortion. nationwide. getting the get it, have you say we want our conclusions following the supreme court decision to be taken into account. there are millions of women who are not in favor of these changes. one of them, i mailed this more to rides on the heels of pro choice demonstrations that have taken place here in mexico and elsewhere in latin america marking international women's reproductive rights day. well, the head, yeah. yeah, many goes far raped and then for us to be mothers and that has to change that in america has blo, cannot ha, many of the demonstrators here are dawning blue and are waving flags and holding up a lot of religious imagery. after all, mexico is one of the most populous catholic countries in the world. so there has been an expectation that there would be pushback by religious conservative against
2:23 am
the d criminalization of abortion. what's interesting as well is the timing of these protests which are occurring as pro choice demonstrations, have swept the u. s. following that court ruling in the us state of texas restricting abortion rights. opening the door to a scenario where women in the u. s. could be turning to mexico for safe and legal abortions despite abortion de criminalization being finalized here in mexico religious group. see that they are committed to continue to fight for that ruling to be overturned. of vaccination rights in the united states have been climbing is more, more places require proof of a job to work or play, but thousands of people are still expected to lose their jobs and health care and education. as a result of vaccine mandates, as kristen salumi found out the impact on an already tight i remark, it remains a concern. health care workers were among the 1st to be offered vaccines in the united states. and many consider it a privilege as well as a responsibility,
2:24 am
i believe. yeah, the mandate is a good idea. i think people should get access to it. but now it's no longer a choice in new york, it is a state and soon to be federal requirement in the medical field. yeah, i think everybody could get linda. you know, i don't care if we get them, but they want me to follow the flow here at erie county medical center in buffalo, new york, more than 95 percent of the staff are compliant, but the rest have been placed on unpaid leave. the hospital has had to cut back and some procedures may overall is going to affect the people that need to help. it's going to affect the patients and the people that are sick and in those homes that are going to be understaffed. a lot of surgeries that are being cancel, so if the patients that are being affected by more than anybody else to ease staffing concerns, new york governor has signed an executive order loosening restrictions on who can work in certain positions. but she's defending the mandate, which will also affect teachers. can we just say that that is
2:25 am
a basic right that everyone has to know that they will be safe when they enter a healthcare facility? or you have your elderly parents or grandparents in a nursing home that they will not get sick because of someone who is charged with their care. still, physicians, assistant, deborah conrad says she's been safely serving on the front lines of the pandemic without the vaccine. and would rather lose the job she's held for nearly 2 decades than be forced to comply. she says she wants to see more long term studies on vaccine side effects. i have all my childhood vaccines, my updated vaccines. my children have their vaccines. just because i'm questioning this one, which is a new technology for a new virus, doesn't make me an anti vaccine person. it just makes me somebody that wants informed consent. the state of new york actually has one of the highest vaccination rates in the country. so if there are compliance and staffing issues here, the question is, what will that mean for the rest of the country where there's more vaccine
2:26 am
resistance and mandates from the federal government have yet to go into effect even before president joe biden mandated shots for businesses with more than 100 workers, however, dozens of high profile companies from united airlines. disney had already begun insisting their workers get vaccinated. the federal mandates alone will cover as many as 100000000 americans. and if they achieve their goal and sure there are enough healthy people available to fill any vacancies. kristen salumi al jazeera buffalo, new york, as a major clean up operation going on along california, southern coastline. after a big oil spill nearly 600000 liters of oil, i was now in the waters off orange county, or that since saturday it's come from a broken pipeline connected to an offshore oil rig investigated still looking for the cause of that leech tropical cyclone shaheen. has hit the gulf side of a man, it's already killed, 3 people, one of them, a child swept away by the flood waters,
2:27 am
thousands of people, of energy, to leave coastal areas and had to emergency shelters. this is the 1st sight going in modern history to come close to the northern coast. although non storms, but usually at the south of the country. now the spanish governments pledge $239000000.00 to help the island of the palmer recover from the devastation brought the erupting volcano prime minister pedro sanchez made that commitment during a visit to the island. as the cambrai via her volcano continues to spew liquid hot magma and thick clouds of black smoke, more than 2 weeks after it began interrupting an official, say, the explosive activities on intensified, said he, judging by these pictures, it looks like that a live shot of the volcano they are now a report from john holt in la palmer. volcanic ash and toxic gas explode into the sky, 6000 meters up and the wind can carry it almost anywhere. for the island of la palmer, that means everywhere. here on the southern shoreline,
2:28 am
on the opposite side of the island, are salt pans carved into black volcanic rock. this farm faces disaster. much of the crop has been ruined by falling ash cash on top thought up elevator. the last possible you thought, undress, explains that the salt was about to be harvested progress now this is yield will be down by up to 40 percent. so rank c o n at besetti. i know i would describe it as a nightmare, an awful dream of to such a bad year with cove it when we're trying to recover. we get this situation which is unbelievable. agriculture makes up around half of law palmer's economy, most of it bananas clinging to volcanic hillsides where they thrive. here to the falling, ash has caused terrible damage tearing into banana skins, making them i'm salable, and worst. the love of flow has cut off irrigation channels to some of the islands,
2:29 am
most prolific plantations. that leaves tourism, but the beaches are empty. package, holiday makers, absent, it's the beginning of the season on an island, famous for winter, some yet in the marina's, the boats are tied up. normally, we're just going out, get this whole boat full with the 60 people every day from monday until sunday. yes . like 2 times a day, 3 times a day. 2 days after that even comes close. we just stopped. we still fired in from the banana. sorry. was defended from that big boom from the volcano there. and now we try to be an you know, together, and fight the situation and start it again. but as i told you before, we don't know what is going to happen, how long is going to be the situation?
2:30 am
images of the volcano being consumed around the world will certainly help to put this canary island on the map. but that doesn't mean that tourists are flocking, hear anything but right now. and in the wake of huge losses generated by the pandemic. that is a tragedy for many what remains of volcano tourists, many from neighboring islands and mainland spain, but this eruption could last months and they will not sustain an economy that, for the time being, is going up in smoke. jonah, how al jazeera la palmer, ah, how fast they are. these are the headlines. jordan's king abdullah, the 2nd is among the world leaders and billionaires, whose alleged secret business dealings have been exposed by a huge leak of financial documents cycle pandora papers. so he built up a property empire worth more than a $100000000.00, including properties in malibu and la.
