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 or polio 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 were 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 ah, a, b, b, c, 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 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 im wrong cons. inner circle also benefit from offshore trusts. he has vowed to punish lawbreakers. quote, my government will investigate all our citizens mentioned in the pandora papers. and if any wrongdoing 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, much more than just asking, he exposes this explicit, may i, she and, and money that is it, not exactly from this when and intersection between business and ernestine makes use of the, ah, the allegations in 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. rosalind jordan al jazeera washington and latina from zenato as more from beirut, another scandal in 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 anew leadership. look at the names, the governor, for example, of the central bank. he has been in power since 993. 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, and 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 se, now his son is denying any wrong doing the pri, this is free. this us are hasanti of a refusing for comments. 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, financial losses are up to $100.00, a $1000000000.00, and people have been taken to the st thing, 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 south korea says it's restored a communication channel with north crew young guy and cut the hotline in august and protest against military drills so conducted with the united states. but since and north korea has indicated it might hold talks with its southern vapor proper. brian has more from hong kong on what this means. folks site there, 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 caught and 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 arsenal. los st, all those talks became stoled. the law 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 2 months ago again because of the north, protesting against military exercises in the south, the southeast, 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 a better relations, but certainly the south is as welcome this move and saying that it could now stabilize and restore relations with the north. a still had her not 0 a leaky pipeline off the coast, california risks and ecological disasters. oil spills into the pacific ocean still flowing. the spanish government pledges $239000000.00 to help the island of la palmer recover from its erotic. okay. ah hello, thank you for joining in. we've had some rock in storms for eastern parts of australia at one point sidney, some severe thunderstorms, melbourne, picking up some hail on monday. there could be a repeat on tuesday and white and windy for tasmania in time for western australia

the idyllic town of law must said the one osiris high in the an these mountains has become a battle ground, the flashpoint between those who want to exploit it may by golden copper reserves. and those who want to maintain a way of life unchanged for generations, although there was no good m o community, any legal need, we don't want legal or illegal mining because of the environmental damage they cause. we've survived for a long time without gold. without mining, we live from the food we produce. they don't get that yellow. they know about illegal mining thousands of illegal mine has invaded this territory in search of gold leaving behind massive devastation when government forces evicted them 2 years ago. now bigger legal mining concerns want to exploit the copper reserves, they believe a here providing jobs a much needed foreign income yaki i hear there. well, there are people who were previously working in legal mining who are now disguised

as environmentalists who don't want to give all of us the chance to work and look at the situation has become complicated. some local people do welcome ham ryan exploration of mining. the ecuadorian subsidiary of the australian company hancock prospecting. many more do not accusing the government of applying laws for the silence their protests less than most men. unfortunately, there's been a systematic persecution of all the defenders of this land. when we raised our voices about the reality of what was happening that were being invaded by multinational companies, they denounced us with the only intention of silencing and intimidating us. some of these local residents have the support of many of ecuador indigenous communities. is a situation also being watched across latin america with similar disputes are playing out. and in the global arena with the cop 26 climate change conference opening in a few weeks time in glasgow. sing music a case that the reporter was double to devastate his territory,

would only feed climate change, which is why the indigenous movement and the farming sectors have decided to defend life and not contribute to polluting the environment. and 10 ryan says is not responsible for the damage caused by a legal mining, and that violent anti mining protested, have prevented them from presenting their clean, socially responsible proposals to the people of this community. i believe that the context is how to enforce governments where the strong arm control for the companies to do are the mining exploitation and in mining exploration process. in the most friendly environmental way and the most reasonable social manner. the ecuadorian government insists it must exploit is mining potential to create jobs and income to help is batted. economy emerge from the pandemic opponent, say mining will bring on the pollution and misery. they say will take to the streets if they don't reach agreement. it talks of the government,

the conflict that could have repercussions far beyond this small community than to find their al jazeera. a large clean up operation has begun along the southern coastline of california after big oil spill. nearly 600000 liters of oil have spilled into water since saturday has come from a broken pipeline connected to an offshore oil rig. investigators still looking for the cause of the leak. saudi arabia and the united arab emirates are on alert for what's left of cycling. shaheen, the red tropical storm made land full on the arabian peninsula on sunday, kelly, at least 9 people in a man, and in iran, a thousands of people were urged to head to emergency shelters. it is the 1st sight clinic. what in history to come close to the northern coast of amman, storms, north, south. the vatican, this hosting an event call for more action from world lead is ahead of a major climate conference in gloucester, foot frances and dozens of religious leaders and making a joint appeal to government to commit to ambitious targets that next month you and

climate summit alam rainy has more now from batch. consider. all these religious leaders speaking in this room. i'm not far from where i'm standing. i've said it's time for us to spread the word among our flock. tell them how important it is to honor our responsibility to the planet earth. they're saying we know what's happening now. we must act and they're saying that scientific fact isn't enough to motivate people, but that we much touch people's spiritual persona. what they've been saying, they're trying to make this powerful, potent message that without religions that this might fall flat on a global level, because people don't often act with their mind. these leaders are saying they act with their heart and with their spirit. so it's been this interesting make, but it's actually more symbolic than anything because none of these leaders really way in, at this conference coming up and class go. but pope francis, one of the most important religious leaders, of course, on the planet, has put his imprimatur on this. he has been saying this for years that the earth is

god's greatest gift to mankind are human kind. he says, when he says is important that we honor that and not to spoil it further. so we're hearing a lot of that similar message from these dozens of leaders, catholic and conservative groups of mexico protested against a court ruling that could pave the way for the de criminalization of abortions. the demonstration comes off to pro abortion rights groups rallied in several latin american cities last week. when we were a polo, as mo, 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 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 guess at 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. are mill. this march arrives 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 then yeah, yeah, many goes far raped and then for us to be mothers and that has to change happen. america has broken up. now, 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 the de 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 and mexico religious groups say that they are committed to continue to fight for that ruling to be overturned. vaccination rates, the united states have been climbing as more more places require proof of job to local to play. but thousands of people are still expected to lose a jobs in health care and education as a result of vaccine mandates that is, kristen certainly rediscovered the impact on an already tight labor market 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. 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 can get mad. you know, i don't care if we get, i'm a big one of your blood and your 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 on some procedures. i mean, 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 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's 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 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 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 $100.00 workers. however, dozens of high profile companies from united airlines to 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, former counselor leader, carlos bush more is in court, and saw dea over his extradition to spain. it's attained by police when he arrived on the italian island last month, there with judge ordered his release a day later, which one is wanted by madrid over his roland catalonia is failed. independence bid in 2017. he's been living in self imposed exile in belgium. chinese housing giant ever. graham has had its share suspended as invest as a way to statement about his future. the firm said the trade holds in hong kong came ahead of an announcement on a major transaction that for ground has run into trouble over the past few months, is bridging tightened rules and the property sector to rein in debt levels. the company shares have fallen by nearly 80 percent since the start of this year. for

we don't know what is going to happen, how long is going to be the situation. 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 are 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, so this is our desert, these are the top stories and ethiopians. prime minister abby aftermath has been sworn in for 2nd turn off the he and his party secured a landslide victory and june's elections. he's described the pole as ethiopia is 1st, attempted
