how many nukes is too many nukes america has in many ways driven the arms race for parties are much more like the british parties down to them. there are fewer regulations to own a tiger than there are its own a dog. how can this be happening? your weekly take on us politics and society and that's the bottom line. ah. another crisis for the catholic church, a french commission finds a nearly 330000 children were victims of sexual abuse. ah, 11 o'clock, this is abs 0 life and her also coming up the nobel prize for physics goes to a trio of scientists for their work on us changing climb. so on one's it will do

what it takes to defend itself after a record number of chinese jets into its air defense zone in danger of vanishing. how climate change is killing the world's corals. ah, so after nearly 3 years investigating the french catholic church, a commission says at least 216000 children were sexually abused in a span of 70 years. the landmark report says around $3000.00 child abuses operated within the church. 2 thirds of them were priests and victims in other institutions run by the church and to be included. the total number abused could reach 330000 report details when it calls a deep and cruel indifference. on the part of the church towards the victims, prosecutors in france have been alerted to possible crimes that can still be

pursued. catholic bishops in france called for the independent inquiry in 2018 to shed light on past abuses by church members. the head of frances catholic bishops, conferences ask for forgiveness. you lose sombre additional. it seemed indispensable in our investigation to look at everything that can feed or justify abuses and sexual violence. and that includes a form of exaggerating the priests authority and an excessive sacrilege. zation, as well as the identification of the priest to christ in all aspects of his life is short key leg. the commission has found that an outlook excessively taboo of sexuality is susceptible in creating blind spots to very grave abuses or christie. villamor events can correspond for the tablet may explains what reforms the catholic church needs to make. what happens to unfortunately few, this abuse crisis and the mishandling of. busy it was this idea that somehow or

florence, he was an unaccountable and therefore there was an abuse of power going on. and so that is was the church must come to terms that must for full. and that something the po francis for the last 8 and a half years has been trying to reform in the church with his called for much more humble. church, a much less clerical or clerical list church. and that's what i think the reform asked to focus on. i think the fact that it was the french bishops and the french church, the commission. this report is a step in the right direction. this doesn't come from the government or this, the state authority saying we must find out what's going on. it was the church itself, and that is the 1st step because we've seen in the past the church has been so dragged, kicking, and screaming, to accountability. but this is actually the bishops themselves that we've got to get to the bottom of what happened here, regardless of how bad it is, the numbers,

as you present them, see me terrible, regardless of how terrible it is. the truth has to be faced here because that's the only way that the church and that the victims, in particular, can find some measure of healing and can find some way to move forward. although of course, we know that you stayed with someone who's been abused at that stage, them for the rest of their lives. the situation is underway at a prison in north western france. originally, 2 guards were taken hostage. one has not been freed, negotiations are under way to secure the others release for you. more information on this as it becomes available to us here at al jazeera iceland claim responsibility for sunday's blast outside the mosque in the afghan capital, which killed 13 people. the taliban says it destroyed and i so so in the north of couple hours after the explosion, which was the largest attack since the u. s. troop withdrawal. iceland afghanistan, previously claimed responsibility for suicide attack at couples. up in august was killed both us soldiers and about 170 in afghan civilians. stephanie decker is

following developments from the capital of koval. i an absolute message of defy and certainly to the taliban who their main play. really a lot of opposition among the people here is that they are the only ones who are able to keep the capital in the country is safe. now people will tell you that the last couple of weeks, almost 2 months is the taliban have been in power in the provinces and also here in the capital that it was a far safer than it was before. but this, yes, this is significant. it was an attack where among very tight security security that was run by taliban special forces at a mosque at one of the check went into the mosque, where a senior gathering of taliban leaders had come together for memorial. so the changes on the ground and certainly there is more security, there are more checkpoints on the roads because it is something that they are taking seriously. they are down playing. and in the sense that they say that it's under control, that there's not that many ice okay. fighters that here in the capital,

there been more attacks in july about in particular, over the last couple of weeks at the eastern part of the country. and there been more raids as well from the taliban against iso k fighters, but certainly it does give you an indication that they now have to deal with a different kind of threat. the kind of attacks at the group that the taliban used to carry out against our others. they are now having to deal with themselves. the nobel prize of physics has been given to 3 scientists for discovery is in climate and complex physical systems. noble committee says a secure may not be class hustle, men in georgia, pretty c. reveal groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex physical system. and spring maurice, who's outside the nobel holt and still come and pull. this is all very time, isn't it? given the climate crisis in the upcoming a you in climate conference in glasgow? yes, nick, her the nobel committee are always very careful to say that they don't make that decisions. are based on, on news angles or, or relevance to the well today they blanket on science and they've made this 1 am

on science very timely. as you say, given a report out today on the, at the cumulative c o 2 emissions since 1850. and the, the major economies in the world who seem to be failing to act on those sam, ahead of ad of comp 26 with the 1.2 degrees of, of warming. we've already seen, of course, the reports on the, on the impact on, on coral and the world sees anne's this sir, this impacts of c o. 2 on on the climate is something we've been unable to see because of the work of a chicago, romano bay and klaus housman with that physical modeling of climate change. being able to reliably predicts global warming and our, our impact on it and our impact on it. seems to be much greater than other natural phenomena that can, can impact climate change weights. i've also looked into such as volcanic activity

and you know, their work has been going on since the 19 sixty's. whether we've really been paying attention in those 60 is, is, is up for discussion. and the other prize, ga perisi, can see more in the obscure side. his is work into complex systems, but, and the climates, weather and global warming is itself a complex system. and the, the nobel committee said that his work actually goes into, into this climate change work as well, lots of random phenomena in the climate. and that he has helped to explain. and now i talked to one of the no val, committee judges, and asked him how far physics can go to help us combat climate change based on this work, he said physics can only do so much. it's up to the rest of us and it's up to those . well, governments going into that meeting at the top? 26 in glass. got it. he pulled thanks very much. chapel reset in stock home. let's

hear now from law's bring, who's a former chairman of the noble committee for physics, and he explains how the committee selects the recipients of the price when it should discovery, it has to have certain height is should really be sort of a watershed. so you can see when a before and an after, and i think in all these tests, you can say that if you go back to my novice work where he dumped, you know, a complex system for, for, for the atmosphere of the globe. he could by physical means, you know, you could compute that an increase in c o 2 woody crease, the temperature on earth and hudson. and then later on came out, you know, maybe a much more true model of time. and so this is basic science. this is a discovery among, you know, this is, you know,

and then of course, but what i should say is that, you know, you should in discoveries, physics. if you use reductionism you down to score is one d s. and then you can find patterns and then you can find for now you can find your find course or find work very superconductivity when you get but most phenomena in the world are complex. next locations. and what these people have done is to have been able to select, you know, the right parameters within this very, very complicated system by which you can predict and you can really measure. you can find that the system with the systems are working here. palestinians are protesting against an agreement between the you and agency that helps refugees and the u. s. you know, a site is in garza and report cit. the agreement will withhold us aid money unless in ra agrees not to help certain groups of refugees. well yeah,

a raw the resume, the us monday. thursday surprised us late here in god. deep in the middle grad hate poet, her shovels on the ceiling. muscular the earlier you through this protest to palestinian people affirm their absolute rejection of the agreement between the u. s. and unreal, yeah, this prevents unrra from its mission to provide relief and employment for refugees . the agreement mix unrra a us state department agent total. okay. let me and leather was out of how did you eliminate the joint refugee comedy explained in a statement that the cooperation framework imposes and accepted o condition sprayed the funding to precede cheap among these is that if the length, the continuation of the funding to this so called neutrality of the wigs and policy and beneficiaries, when rob, it's also

thank you for joining in. here's your weather story for asia pacific, we've got a frontal system pretty much fallen across the yellow river valley where there is cloud. there is rain and where there's rain, there's low temperatures here. so beijing, just 14 degrees. and this has been a really slow moving disturbance, so we're seeing that rain start to pile up different stories. we head towards southern sections of china. so put the colors on here, the darker the red, the higher the temperature way. lin, $37.00 degrees, you know, that's about 11 above where you should be for this had the year, but we looked toward the north. it's got that heavy rain falling. jung show just 14 degrees tropical development, very likely for this weather maker in the south china sea. but already its outer bands striking central and southern portions of vietnam on wednesday. and this area has just been hit hard with tropical activity over the last little bit. we do have flooding fears for portions of southern india. this is impacting karnataka care law and tamela do states on wednesday. see some of those pulses there when we see the

darker colors that's more intense rain falling. but we are also starting to see the withdrawal of the southwest monsoon. and so what that means for areas and pakistan, some fresher air. 33 in karachi is actually a bit below where you should be for this some the year. see you soon. the weather sponsored by cut our airways voted wills best airline of 2021. this is one of the most astounding, the logical revolutions in all make our planet grid. we have to meet this you to emission lecture casa me mitty, to mention the need to be mind, to where people are just talking about when hers it. so it won't, the world distance in common driving energy change is the promise of keen energy, an illusion. topside of green energy on al jazeera. ah

ah. okay, you're watching out 0 reminder of our top stories as a nearly 330000 children were victims of sexual abuse at the hands of the french catholic church over 70 years. that's a finding of an independent commission. persistent church showed cruel indifference to victims. nobel prize of physics has been given to 3 scientists for discoveries in climate and complex physical systems. nobel committee says they revealed groundbreaking contributions to our understandings over complex physical systems. islip claim responsibility for sunday's blast outside of mosque in the afghan capital, which killed 13 people. taliban says it destroyed an ice will sell in the north a couple hours after the explosion, which was the largest attack since the u. s. troop rule. so uns premier says the

territories on high alert against what he called, bay jeans, continued violations. premier suits sang, chang made the announcement after record number of chinese aircraft entered taiwan at defense. and it's ministry of defense. as a 148 chinese war plains had breached the zone since friday. china has recently ramped up pressure on taiwan, which it says is part of its territory. i, on etiology and you, taiwan, definitely needs to be on alert. china is increasingly over the top. the world has also st. china's repeated violations of regional pace and pressure on taiwan. so democratic countries have repeatedly issued warnings that our country men have to be self reliant. we have also seen the president ceaselessly supporting the national army. we must come together as one and strengthen ourselves only then will countries that want to annex tie one, not dare to easily resort to force. drew thompson as

a visiting senior research fellow at the league kwan you school of public policy and singapore and a former u. s. defense department official who says taiwan is responding cautiously and is willing to engage with a june. the flights over the last 4 days had been unprecedented in terms of their size and frequency of these large sorties. and stepping them up over the course of the china is national holiday. and such large flights really indicates that this is a political warfare effort and part of a massive coercion campaign against the leadership of taiwan and the taiwanese people. and it's part, i think, not just of a military campaign, but an economic, diplomatic and information campaign as well. unification is a key objective for president. she can pang, he stated as much. he stated in 2013 that this is a question that should not be left for future generations. he did,

president tying one has played this very carefully. taiwan hath responded cautiously to this recent uptake can flights they've exercise restraint. so for instance, you haven't seen reports about taiwan fighter bombers flying in to harass these flights. you haven't heard about air defense radars being used to paint or to target these chinese aircraft in international airspace. so they've been showing restraint, and at the same time, president sighing one is expressed very clearly that she is willing to engage with beijing, presuming that they can engage as equals and without preconditions, as concerns grow about chinese real estate, john ever groans, financial health. second, property developer has failed to repair that fantasia holdings was due to make a payment of $205000000.00 to its bondholders on monday invest as a already worried housing job, ever grown group might collapse from a broad reports know from one call in recent weeks ever grand has been selling off

. the air poverty market had really come to a stand still and, and pot. but if prices are fully given ever grand size and reach across the chinese economy, there's real concern about the fall out if it fails, or even if it can be allowed to fail by the central government. especially in a country where maintaining social stability is so important. in the southern chinese city of shane gen worried investors have laid siege to the companies offices, return our money champions. protesters. it's widely believed the government has been prodding state back entities to buy assets from have a grant to prop it up with the priority being to settled debts at home 1st ever ran has a heavy exposure to the overseas investors upon market. and then i think they're the

last in line to gather paintings. selling more assets will give ever grand another rest bite, but the billions of dollars of debt it will still carry forward makes its whole future an uncertain. rob mcbride, al jazeera hong kong to some of the late philippines leader, ferdinand marcus is announced. he will run for president and next year at elections for it. now market gina has been involved in politics since his return from exile in 1991. in 1986 more than a 1000000 filipinos protested against his father's, controversial martial law. eventually leading to his exit from office. and philippine president, rodrigo de tirty says he's preparing his defense against an international criminal court investigation into his so called war on drugs to 30 previously insisted he wouldn't to cooperate with inquiry claiming the court has no jurisdiction in the philippines rights. groups of estimated tens of thousands of people were killed as part of his campaign. on saturday did 30 announce he will retire from politics

after his term ends. authorities on the spanish island of la palmer, the stepping up surveillance of the eruption volcano after part of the crater collapsed, said the surge of larva, down the hillside and into the sea. the russians become more explosive, causing significant damage to property and to farm land. more than a 1000 homes have been destroyed. jenna hall has more from the island. every day here, the volcano face things change, whether it's the size of the plume, the substance, the color of that volcanic ash or the booming explosions emanating from the coal, the subsiding escalating, subsiding us. but it's very noisy today. how about that? you have a closer look at it up, but i can tell you that every day we're here. we learn something new about volcanic eruptions. the latest being that on monday night of all kind of started emitting what are ominously known as love a bomb visa, great pudgy,

bolts of volcanic acts being shot high up into the air that about the size of us are the wealth stuff. rubbish bag and landing up to a kilometer away in all directions with enormous destructive capacity. that's why they call it the dangers own, of course. and i'm standing at the moment, adding a police roadblock. keeping people out of the danger zone residence allowed in occasionally to visit their homes to check on pets, to collect valuables and so on. but generally people kept well away. what about 3 companies away now? spreading his rescued a group of people from a d off the coast. new yorker who said they had spent 12 days at sea. some of the 14 rescued were suffering from burns and dehydration such as underway for 3 others . hundreds have died or gone missing while attempting. the dangerous crossing to europe. the unsecure, the council says it's accept set haiti's elections will be delayed until the 2nd half of next year. at the latest. the u. s. had early a push for

a vote to take place this year last month, haiti's prime minister earl ari, dissolved the electoral council responsible for organizing a vote in november. he's dismiss claims. he's trying to cling to power. haiti was plunged into a political crisis in july after the assassination of its president juvenile wife. you as president joe biden, who's accusing republicans, have been reckless because he says they wouldn't work with democrats to raise the countries so called debt ceiling. the government doesn't increase the amounts, it allows itself to borrow biotech with the 18th. it wouldn't be able to make payments on what it owes. the reason we had to raise a debt limit is impart because of the reckless tax and spending policies under the previous trump administration. in 4 years, bank curry that incurred nearly 8 trillion dollars in 4 years, 8 trillion dollars in additional debt. in bills we have to now pay off,

not only republicans refusing to their jobs, the threatening or use the power, their power to prevent us from doing our job, saving economy from a catastrophic event. i think quite frank shipper critical, dangerous, and disgraceful investigators in california looking into whether an oil slick could have been caused by ships anchor striking a pipeline. the spit has been described as an environmental catastrophe. well than 500000 liters of oil has leaked into the ocean and is now washing up on beaches. but reynolds reports from huntington beach in california. an environmental catastrophe on the california coast sandy beaches fouled by globs of tar shore birds. wading through wetlands soaked in oil, a burst pipeline from an offshore oil rig gushed half a 1000000 leaders of crude into the pacific from the air, the oily shining covers parts of the ocean surface beaches along a large stretch of coast are now closed. we know that there is oil ranging from

huntington beach and now we know as far down as laguna and, and likely move in, continuing to move in a southerly direction. the area is so popular with swimmers, surfers and sun bathers, that huntington beach is nicknamed surfed city usa coastal conservation advocates are devastated. you know, it's kind of a sense of ha, you know, really sadness and tragedy combined with a sense that you'd kind of knew it's inevitable. emergency crews, etc. and on land are laying floating barriers to try to contain the oil and prevent even more damage. a number of birds soaked with oil have been rescued, but the impact of the still will be felt throughout the ecosystem of beaches and coastal marshes say environmentalists is going to get on to the rocks and under the rocks. and it's going to also settle in different places and in the levels of the, the, the water. so there's gonna be some on top. you can try skim as much of that off as

it can, but some of them could settle to the bottom and just stay down there for a while. the clean up will likely take months. there are $23.00 oil platforms off the california coast. all of them date back at least to the 1980s. for years, environmentalists have been warning that aging oil industry infrastructure and pipes together with lax regulation are a recipe for disaster. the company that operates the pipeline, texas based amplify energy, emerged from bankruptcy protection. just 4 years ago, it has a long heard of violating federal environmental laws, amplify energy ceo says it's unknown what caused the spill, but the pipeline has been shut down. there is no active weakness we are aware of, and especially in that specific area that we've, we've identified environmentalists say the only way to stop future spills is to shut down the offshore rigs for good. this is

a wake up call that we need to stop offshore. drilling our for our coastline. the damaging spill comes amidst a national effort to switch to clean sources of energy. a major part of president joe biden's proposed infrastructure legislation. rob reynolds al jazeera huntington beach, california. 14 percent of the world's coral has been lost in less than a decade. reports by the un backed global data networks, as more reefs are at risk of disappearing because of climate change. warming oceans are causing more coral bleaching events. that's when corals on the heat stress expel the algy living in that tissues and die. selena warden senior lecture at the university of queensland and the academic director of haron island research station on the great barrier reef. she explains how, how can, how coral reefs can recover from bleaching it's happening because the se is getting warmer and our emissions rising rapidly and the cars just basically

typing. they're very sensitive to changes in temperature. so it can be as little as one degree above the average, some a maximum if it last the long and up, and that will cause a bleaching. and the problem we've had in the last few years is that we've had repeated bleaching events with a small gap between them and the great barracks. we had 3 bleaching events within 5 years and karl can recover and bounce back. but not if i get repeated assault well to and i will recovery to take place. we need a few things. we need some of the carls left there to continue to grow and to reproduce what we need to have a spell where we don't have more. i hate why didn't the water where we don't have thought cleanse or crown of thorns cesta outbreaks or anything like that, that's going to stress the habitat. so we need to have gap between these events so that the carls have time to reproduce and produce more lobby that will come and

settle a minute. carl. carl, after be late, she has a tend to be a bit weaker to said that can be completed by lp. and you say with the data in the port that there has been an increase in the amount of our presence, an albion carl's lot the same things. i want lots of lots. so they competing to spice all the time. ah, this is out there. these are the top stories and nearly 330000 children were victims of sexual abuse at the hands of the french catholic church ever 70 years. that's the finding of an independent commission, which says the church showed cruel indifference to victims. you knew, sombre and useful. it seemed indispensable in our investigation to look at everything that can feed or justify abuses and sexual violence.
