store is the phone maker abusing its monopoly and afghan businesses and losing international customers. counting the cost on al just that ah. ready ready it was prime minister avia is being sworn him for a 2nd term facing the biggest crisis of his political career. ah, 11 o'clock, this is abs 0 live from the hall also coming up. a large leak of confidential financial records shines and lights on the secret wealth of dozens of world leaders . hopes for improve relations off to north and south to restore across the border hotline. and praying for change faith is around the world. join put promises to

discuss furniture ah, 1st, a huge leak or financial documents says expose. what so claim to be the secret assets and dealings of some of the world's richest people. the collection of nitty 12000000 falls known as the pandora papers was published by the international consortium of investigative journalists. it's robin and jordan. this lake is really puzzled papers on steroids, world leaders, politicians, and billionaires with hidden vaults of wealth. a new chapter in a never ending story. the pandora papers is a leak of almost $12000000.00 documents that alleges, concealed assets, tax avoidance, and in some cases, money laundering by some of the world's richest and most powerful, more than $600.00 journalists, and 117 countries have been sifting through files for months as part of the largest

ever global financial investigation among its findings, king abdullah, the 2nd of jordan, who used shall companies to build a real estate portfolio worth more than $100000000.00 with properties spanning malibu, washington and london has no indication of suggestion in our reporting, but this is indeed a legal, but i think we have certainly asked the king why, why these purchases made through show companies. why has none of this been disclosed? publicly, representatives of the king insist no wrong dealing is involved. they told the consortium that he used his own money, not jordanian government funds to make these legal purchases. the reports also st. canyon president hurl kenyatta and his family have at least $30000000.00 in offshore accounts. mrs of president her for many years. and even a few years ago sat down with ha, a, b, b, c, interviewer, and said,

if anyone has something to tell us that we haven't been transparent about, let them tell us. and i suppose today with the pandora papers were doing just that other notable leaders with lucrative holdings. the former british prime minister, tony blair, who the consortium says, avoid it paying hundreds of thousands and property tax on a townhouse bike buying the company, which owned it. the check prime minister entre bobbitt up for reelection. the investigation found some of pakistani prime minister in wrong cons inner circle also benefit from offshore trots. he has vowed to punish lawbreakers. quote, my government will investigate all our citizens mentioned in the pandora papers. and if any wrong doing is established, we will take appropriate action. some will question whether countries such as the u . s. and the u. k. are doing enough to regulate the use of shell companies and tax

avoidance measures. analysts say this latest report makes it hard for citizens to trust their leaders, including in the middle east, inadequate, exposes, montoya, and just asking, he exposes this explicit may i, she, and, and money. that is, that is a disaster from the sweat and intersection between business and ernestine unexcused of the, ah, the allegations and the pandora papers are just that allegations. there is no proof that leaders mentioned in the stories broke any laws, whether those laws should be changed is a matter for public debate. rosalyn jordan al jazeera washington, well lebanon, which is dealing with the severe economic crisis, has some of its top political leaders featured in the pandora papers. and they include the current and former prime ministers, as well as the governor of lebanon's central bank. so let's go to zenato, correspond to his study by force in buried, and diana, given the,

the dreadful state of things in lebanon, this must make people very angry, if not surprise. ah, yes, another scandal and many lebanese, if you ask them what they think and what their reaction is, they said, well, we're just not surprised. we know our political elite, the political class that has been governing this country for decades is corrupt. and that is why we took to the streets 2 years ago, we demanded a new leadership. look at the names, the governor, for example, of the central bank. he has been in power since 1993. he's being accused. his monetary policy is really for contributing to the economic collapse, and in fact, he is being investigated in france and then switzerland for a mouse in his personal fortune, abusing his power, also on the list, the billionaire prime minister, sitting prime minister. and as you may see now, his son is denying any wrong doing the pri, this says free. this has or has have refusing to comment. yes, of course,

you can argue that having an offshore account does not make you a guilty. but the question is, this is a country which has no accountability, no transparency, no government oversight. those involved in government oversight have been appointed by the politicians. lebanon's financial losses are up to $100.00, a $1000000000.00 and people have been taken to the street saying, returned diluted money returned the billions of dollars that have been transferred abroad. but the question is, will, will the books be open? will the lebanese people know how these people are master their wealth and able to open companies but lebanon, this tiny nation has the highest number of offshore companies, 346. that is what the pandora papers revealed. yeah, it's extraordinary. given all of that is likely to be any follow what can be done about hey, it's very little, can be done about this, at least on the domestic level,

because the judiciary is accused of being politicized. a lot of the judges are appointed by the politicians, even the bankers they are in alliance with some of the politicians. some of the politicians actually own on the banks and it's the people who have been paying the price because their deposits their savings for they have no access to their savings to their dollar accounts. if you go to the bank today and ask for your dollars, well, they'll say no, we'll only give you in the local currency which has devalued by by 90 percent in the past 2 years. so people really paying the price of this economic crisis based on the international level. many lebanese will say the international community can do something, can help lebanon return those billions of dollars instead of working and engaging with the same political class. the international community did try to call for an independent government to manage this country to manage this country out of the economic crisis. but the politicians, the establishment, they clung on to power and now the international community is dealing with them,

but on condition that they carry out reforms which and open the books open all the books of the state institutions and the central bank, which so far they've refused to do or is it thanks for that says in the heart of their reporting from beirut lebanon onto ethiopia were prime minister abbey often has been sworn in for a 2nd term after he and his party secured a landslide victory in june elections. he has described the pole as if europe, his 1st attempt at a free and fair vote. but it has been overshadowed by boycott from the opposition, as well as ethnic violence and conflict to bundles and to grow region where tens of thousands of people have been killed. voting, in fact, did not take place and to grow because of the conflict un says some 400000 people in the region of crossed the threshold into famine. the vote was also delayed in 3 other regions due to security issues and legal disputes. they began calcium balance last thursday when it was already known. abbe would be forming a government army held the vote as historically as

a historically inclusive election. but opposition parties have a complaint of intimidation and a crackdown against their candidates. so let's take this on. we can speak to someone gets to who's a and ethiopian, a based journalist joins us far straight from jesse in ethiopia and heart region. that's it. so samuel, 1st up, but a new 5 year term for red, but the country frauds with deep problems to say the least. yes or, you know, the prime minister was elected to back in june. there was a 2 provinces that did no vote but voted last week. and this is going to be a 5 year term. it was a controversial election. but wanda was endorsed by the african union as the most democratic in the history of heath yoga. so it served for those watching from a distance. it's an exciting time. but the shortcomings is to be noted. how do you think the, the way this election has been carried out?

how do you think that will shape ethiopia, international relationships, relation with international community? and indeed, how important is that relationship to operate? the relationship is important. ethiopia has one of the strongest economy in the continent or in the region of the horn of africa. but it's also depends on foreign aid. us aid a tweeted a few weeks ago saying 7 percent of the population of ethiopia, which is about 8000000 people, depend on aid from u. s. 8. but there has been back and forth between the washington dc and not d'silva in terms of misunderstanding or a so so that the, the thing should be addressed. but the children side, the saying it's an internal matter that should be sold by yoga. so it's a, it's a relationship that and transition and, and i mean, but partnership partners i important if you're best development and also going forward to try to protect the economy that has been one of the strongest that has

been showing some kind of challenges in the past a year, what hope is there of healing the deep rifts within ethiopia? when you know now that the prime minister has been elected for the 1st time, 2018, he was appointed. there has some kind of sense that he would focus on trying to bring the peaceful coexistence between the most diverse people of it, yoga and also bring some kind of security that needs to be addressed. because the conflict that's known around the world happening in to guy is also operating in amara region and our hot region and it's, it's going in money money. our parts of the country are 50, not just for an investment, but also the peaceful coexistence at each job. and needs to bring the country in intact, but it's been a challenging year for ethiopia, the last year. all right,

we'll leave that for the moment. samuel, thanks very much and we'll get your 20th from the i'm har, region of if you can. thank you. or to don's government has warned the country is about to run out of medicine fuel and winked because of the closure of its main port. protest as have blocked roads around ports who done against what they say is a lack of political power and poor economic conditions in the region. last week, they shot a pipeline, the current oil to the capital car to south. greer says it has a restarted and stalled communication channel with north korea. jo yang cut the hotline in august in protest against military drills that so conducted with the united states. but since then, north korea has indicated it might hold, talks with its southern neighbor, robert bride has more from hong kong. what this means for both sides. these hot lines are very important. they are the lines of communication across the dmc between the north and the south. it prevents any accidental misunderstandings. it's very important that they are kept open, given the fragility of relations and the,

the amount of armaments along the d, m. z. now they tend to be cotton restored depending on how relations are at any given point in time. and of course, with the dipping relations that we saw in the last year or 2 with the ab, with the ending alpha negotiations over at north korea's nuclear austell. los st, all those talks became stalled. the north reacted very badly to that, and it was in june of last year that they took the step of cutting all of the communication lines and even going as far as destroying with explosives the liaison office that had been set up. what during better times be when relations were, were better between the north and the south. so it is important that they are kept open and they were cut to months ago again because of the north, protesting against military exercises in the south. the south is hoping that this time they will stay up a fo a permanently because they are hoping that this could be done. we have to use the caveat, said that it, this is only a possibility that there might be

a start now of better relations. but certainly the south is as welcome this move and saying that it could now stabilize and restore relations with the north. so i had heard al jazeera, find out why a growing number of iraqis and now living in die conditions. the 1st tropical storm in mountain history to the north, inclusive in mon. we'll have the latest on psychology. ah hello, good to see you. here's an update on that vigorous system. we have over europe. it's fragmented in to parts, so we've just got bursts of energy here and there round the alpine region as our next start m store moving into the republic of ireland in the united kingdom, and then a burst of energy for southern portions of scandinavia. so let's go in around italy,

particularly toward the northwest. look at this cluster of storms here. i think we will see some flooding and we do have red weather alerts in play warning of that flooding. rain and also some fierce winds. now east of this, we've got full on sunshine belgrade, 26 degrees budapest, up to 24 and will keep that high temperature, go and well above average on tuesday. then the energy slams into here. so we'll see those bursts of rain and your temperature kicked out just as scattering of showers across the boss for us affecting is stan bowl with a hiv 21 degrees, some driving rain for turkey's northeastern black c region. iberia, looking pretty good, lot of sunshine, but we do have these bursts of energy his while through some of the islands in the mediterranean. now as we had through western africa, our heaviest pockets of rain will be liberia rate in to sierra leone. so free towns got a high of 28 degrees, also wet for abby john, you're in for 27 degrees on monday. ah,

the earth is it tipping boys? scientists are telling us right now that we have just 12 years as the world's lead . they want to agree upon a solution or taking that who's into their own life with now with trying to get people to understand the killed people and that it kills people. now it already can both rise with us. oh, no. jazeera lou . ah, hell again, you're watching out 0. remind about top stories this hour and leaked financial

records are accusing dozens of world leaders said massy, secret wealth and avoiding taxes include jordan's king presidents of russia as a by john and a former british prime minister. if europe is prime minister rpm, it has been sworn enough to securing a landslide victory in june. elections was overshadowed by an opposition boycott and the conflict and the northern to gregory to south korea says it has restored acumen, acacia china with north korea. young jain cut by an august protest against military drills sold conducted with the united states. at least 13 people have been killed in an explosion in afghanistan capital. it could bull on sunday. the bombing targets at the entrance of the 2nd largest mosque in the city. a memorial service was being held there for the mother of taliban spokesman, et cetera, hoola, major heat as i've been job aid has his report. what he's were brought to nearby hospital is after sunday. the tack in the afghan capital. oh,

wow. from right. from on 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 and the way 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 the viola mcgraw had the thought yvonne's deputy information minister and offer condolences for his mother's death. hundreds of taliban supporters and edith 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, but checkpoints gone and unrestricted movement in the streets. minutes before much, i had been to the memo in service. he spoke to hel, dedira about the threat from iceland have gone to stun thy shirt blue carpet. he that i still is not a visible thing here. they are in hiding. some disturbances have been seen in kabul

and jalal a bed, but they are not present. and other places we are paying close attention and we will not let them create an wrist. and a 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, there has been a major jihad done against foreign occupation. so every one must respect us. and if they don't respect us, they will face a very powerful reaction from afghan citizens and also our forces. we will filter them out and will destroy their 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 gland a sun as laser, for example, in south for a few years back, they were downgraded a lot by their efforts off of one security forces. the foreign student 1st wasn't of one by itself, but over the past years. and so it has theresa has

a witness and we have it as a resurgence of their activities. so it continues was as a target or when considered that as a 3rd off slighted horizontal as has been largely under estimated sources have told out 0 a number of people were arrested after the attack. the 11 fighters have been carrying out raids in search of i think fighters in the last few weeks, dozens have been arrested in connection with attacks and cobble, and bombs targeting fall upon fighters and jill above. if security deteriorates, it would further complicate a fragile 8 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 enough contest on and their needs are mounting with the challenge. as 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 door nurse don't seem to be able to translate their pledges into actual grants . the new taliban government has promised its citizen, security and safety and vowed that complicated affairs such as governance and education will be sorted later. but if an attack can take place despite heavy security in the heart of the capital, that dream of a peaceful, secure life under taliban may remain just that farmer job it other. there are couple at least 8 people have been killed in northern india to violence broke out during a farmers protest. crowds are new to pradesh, rounded vehicles report lead linked to a federal minister farmer's group say one call run over, protested demonstrate as then said, the vehicles on far tens of thousands of farmers have been camping on major highways for months to oppose new agricultural laws. elizabeth per annum has more now from the deli, the farmers protests have been going on for nearly a year. and in that time, we have seen on several occasions,

scuffles between farmers and security forces. but this is one of the most, a major escalations. we have 8 people dead for farmers, 3 workers belonging to prime minister in that in the morning by the agenda party or b j, p, and their driver. now we have with their probation, the state where it took place, the head of police. they're saying that the situation in the district or lacking poor katie, is tense, but under control, police have imposed a ban on people gathering. they have suspended internet services in many parts of the district in an effort to stop more people from protesting that after farm union, an opposition leaders said that they were going to travel to the district to show their support. for farmers that's not being allowed to happen. to of 2 main opposition leaders including india is main opposition. our party, the congress is priyanka gandhi,

was stopped from going to meet the families of dead farmers. a former state leader was put under house arrest, so that he could travel to the district. and when he tried to stage a protest outside his home, he was taken away by police. what police are also doing, though, as investigating india's junior home minister, i. j, miss your son, ash miss euro and 10 others for murder. that's after farmers alleged that osh mr. i wasn't one of the 3 cars that was part of the convoy that attacked farmers. the mission was deny that they say that farmers attack the cars force and the vehicles to lose controls. a tropical cycling shaheen has hit the gulf state of a man is killed, at least 3 people. one was a child swept away by flood water, thousands of people to be known, to believe parts of the coasts, and had to emergency shelters. it is the 1st sight clone in modern history to come close to the northern coast of a man. as storms normally hit the south. well,

the vatican is hosting an event to call for more action from world leaders ahead of the major climate conference. a pipe frances and dozens of religious leaders are making a joint appeal to government to compete. commit to ambitious targets at next month . un climate, some of the jew to sign the appeal and hand it to the italian foreign minister and the climate conference president. let's be talkers one adarine joins us now from vatican city. as adam, the convergence of science, religion always makes for an interesting mix. what to expect? exactly, nick, what we're gonna have behind us in in the vatican is the pope meeting with some 40 religious leaders among them. the patriarch of the eastern orthodox church pitchfork bartholomew, the mom of her alazam, that's awkward alti, of one of the leading sunny muslim clerics in the world. and dozens of other leaders see of their imprints her, their stamp of approval for swift and bold action to be agreed to at cop $26.00 and

glasgow next month are also going to be meeting the pope that is in these religious leaders with 2 delegates from this youth for climate conference, that's the conference that was in milan last week and which some 400 delegates from around the world under the age of 30, met and came up with their own proposals for solutions to tackle the climate crisis . so 2 of those delegates were moved. be meeting with the pope, the pope actually beamed into that conference via zoom and gave his support to that . this is just part of ongoing support from pope francis ah, for this, this young movement and also global movement to finally pushed for real change. and it's also more symbolic. perhaps. then then it's actual has any teeth to it because the church doesn't really have a say in these meetings. but the pope continues to make his presence felt and felt strongly and it gets a lot of media attention, of course, when he does this. but this has been going on throughout his papacy yet,

so this is more about ted pushing the cause of fighting against climate change rather than actually invoking policy. exactly. and as you say, he's at long been a big proponent of fight climate change. indeed, nick, at one of his 1st his 2nd encyclical, that is love that though c which um harkened back to frances, his name's sake who seems the patron saint of nature was a almost $200.00 page book length and cyclical about the need for swift and bold action that was published in 2015, it made pope frances seem like a leading voice for climate solutions in this era. it also made him quite popular with young people around the world, whether they're roman catholic or not. he seen as this progressive force within the church, right, or wrong by many young activists. so him giving this stamp of approval always showing up whether virtually or in person at some of these conferences continues to

kind of give this sense that the church believes that human cause that human action had caused climate change. and believes that the only way to tackle it is for all the nations around the world to do something and do something. now of course, this is a huge difference from the roman catholic church of some 500 years ago when it forced galileo, one of most famous scientists ever to have lip to recant on his belief that the earth revolves around the sun. so what we have now in meetings like this one is the leader of the roman catholic church meeting with scientists, giving support to scientific findings that we must do something must do now because it's not just an obligation for humanity because we're dis, spoiling the earth. the greatest gift, according to pope frances, that god gave to humanity. so he combines religion and science and progressive views and environmentalism, and a, and a potent powerful media attic message for the masses. or it out a link to that at a read ava, reporting from room while the number of slums in iraq has increase in recent years

because of growing poverty, nearly 10 percent of iraq's population lives in them. the government says half a 1000000 houses and makes of shelters have been built illegally and with shops and business premises. one with the white horse now from baghdad. for 9 years old, however, there is nothing more terrifying than a train. she was struck by 15 years ago near her families make shift shelter. her arms had to be amputated in this slum under one of beds, bridges. hela is reminded of her ordeal. every time a train passes by her family tries to comfort her and help her adapt to living without her arms. they have been living here since 2007, only a few meters away from braid way with no safe guards. how has a father works as

a blacksmith and struggles to make ends meet in providing for his family of 2 wives and 13 children? i will be, i thought we had to turn them or not, we couldn't afford to continue. pink rinse were all total. so the landlord kicked us out with olivia because we had no other choice for. the rashid shelter was built, illegally unsafe and unhealthy, like tens of other houses here. since the 2003 u. s. led invasion slums have become common in iraq, due to poverty lawlessness and high real estate prices. nearly 10 percent of the people in iraq live in slums. according to the planning ministry, many blame their poverty and lack of jobs on government corruption and say they've little interest in those campaigning in the parliamentary elections,

consecutive governments have failed to eliminate the slums or provide alternatives . oh, and that that goes along a draft low to shoulders slumped. problem is under revision in parliament. it should be passed either by the outcome parliament or by the incoming parliament. many parliamentary candidates try to gain votes in under privilege it areas by making promises to improve people's lives. this candidate says she will ensure much needed infrastructure is put in place. but for classroom hammett, these are just false promises. yaeger knew, i'd like a like a lot of re election. they say they will give us lance houses or salaries. and after they take office, they forget about us. ah, holla is too young to understand why.
