and so here at al jazeera, we will show you the to impact of those decisions on people and how it affects their everyday life. we are free to put them on air and to really engage those stories because we know that all ordinances interested, not just in the mainstream news, but also the more hidden stories from parts of the world that often go under reported ah, accused of crimes against humanity a draft report says that brazil's president should face criminal charges for his handling of coven 19. ah! i'm him wrong on this out there, alive from doug, also coming up. he was president joe biden says he's concerned after report said china had tested nuclear capable hypersonic missile technology tell about officials

. pusher recognition had talks with regional powers in moscow, but human rights concerns continue to stand in the way. i'm a gunman who murdered 17 people during a rampage at its former high school in palm beach, florida pleads guilty. ah, we begin in brazil where an investigation into the government's corona virus response has pointed the finger of blame at present. joe paulson wrote the report also recommended he face at criminal charges, including crimes against humanity. the draft report still needs to be voted on by the senate committee and could be vetoed and altered monica and a care of his in what is aris with more on what this could mean verbal sanara or far from talking about the end of present rateable sonatas political career, ah,

he's up for reelection next year in october. now this saw inquiry has taken a toll on his popularity. more than half of brazilians are reject his government now, but he still has the support of around 25 percent of the population. now what this inquiry did was it did force the government to start the mass vaccination campaign which had had been delayed. it did make people more aware of what was going on because we had the president giving different information from the doctors and scientists. not encouraging masks, encouraging mass gatherings. so this inquiry was entered the house of brazilians every night. they were watching it live on t v. so in that sense, it was very important, and it was also a response from an institution to what the president was doing or not doing, in this case, his emissions. and regarding the pandemic bubbles. so nato still has ah

breath to go ahead for, for that. his reelection, gustavo riviera, is the founder of online magazine. the brazilian report. he says both laura has enough support in congress to stop senate from indicting him for one the reports while extremely skating to the government could be worse because of the removal of chargers of murder and genocide. and for some government officials that is a win. because the other charges against boss a lot more complicated for everyday voters to understand to, to grasp a wild chain, the silent murderer pretty straight forward. it would be much worse for the presence reputation. but also because of the fact that this committee has no power of indictment, he can only recommend the indictment. so now this goes to the federal prosecution

office with who's had that is someone extremely friendly trouble. so adam and also the fact that a sitting president can only been dieted with the nods from the house from 60 percent of congressmen. and at this point was a letter has no support to block it. if it comes to that, he has enough support in congress terms, and yes, it his extra, an extremely divisive figure. i will only add that the, the prominence with boss and i do balsam as was approval ratings. are more related to the economy rather than that. his pandemic response because in brazil we're seeing poverty rates climbed really fast. unemployment remains really high. inflation, skyrocketing, which is a road in families purchasing power. he was present, joe biden says he's concerned about chinese hypersonic missile technology. now biden's cummins come off to report said that china tested a new hypersonic weapon in august. it's believed the nuclear capable weapon is

a df. 17 glide vessel. beijing has denied the report saying i was testing a space vehicle. the white house says it's res, concerns and through about the issue through diplomatic channels. hattie cohen is falling developments from washington d. c. this comes from a report in the financial times that said over the summer, china was able to launch that nuclear capable, hypersonic glide weapons. so in essence what this is, it's a missile that goes into outer space, is able to circle the globe at 5 times. the speed of sound and then it was able to land just narrowly missing its target. chinese official say it's not a missile. it was a, some sort of space is craft that they were to working on the technology as or no, not much. the u. s. can do about this, the concern for the u. s. is they've had a lot of emphasis on a lot of money on a missile defense shield. and if there's, by one effort that they'd like to do over the next 10 years, they could spend as much as a $176000000000.00 on it. that doesn't work for hypersonic weapons. so that's the

big concern in the u. s. that said, china, if this is true, which again, china says it's not, would not be the only country working in this field. the u. s. is working on this technology, russia, north korea. so china would just be the latest you join into this new arms race. if in fact they are doing it, but again, that something that china denies. on joining us law from fort lauderdale, florida, is hon or clinic. he's a former director of army international affairs at the pentagon 100. this happened in august, so either the us didn't know about it all. they did know about it. they didn't want to turn it into a diplomatic issue, which is it. thank you very much for having me. i don't, quite frankly, there's been a lot of international rusher on the try me last several months for a host. so i wouldn't say that number one, the united states it or track us. it wasn't fact aware of it and that it

will in fact be something that is included in strategic phosphorus when the us department of the chinese minister national and is also an agenda item and the upcoming president biden of president. she will summit. those are, it's the classic thing though, is that one of escalation, the americans, a building a missile defense system. so the chinese have figured out a way of defeating that missile defense system. once again, there's not really huge amount be americans can do to stop to turn the chinese from developing the same. so technology, the u. s. is developing that's accurate. and as you're probably order there, there are a number of other countries that are also develop a same type of technology i would offer though, that a mayor does missile defense system are mostly focused on the missile

from ro states such as north korea and iran. they are not focus on states with which we find ourselves engaged with great power competition even with china and russia iteration. yes, they certainly have a value in eating some incoming missiles. but again, the nuclear missile defense system, the ballistic missile defense invested in over the years are focused more on road states as opposed to your peer competitor. but you must be concerned, this is a new at least know and you all ready for continuation and escalation of an arms race has been going on for a while. the indeed, and i think frankly what concerns me the most is when you couple this with other developments in chinese military modernization and chinese action. you know, that is what just inserting. so if you recall, earlier the summer,

i was reported that the chinese are building approximately 250 new icbm silos. was trying that was made up. now you couple that with this type responding, again is accurate. and what's most disconcerting is the brand. she g things china to use arrive in the course of methods to push forward their strategic agenda, not just in the region but global thing. thank you very much for your thoughts. thank you. the un security council, as held an emergency meeting on north korea a day off to young young, testified, a ballistic missile from a submarine. it's the 1st under water test launch in 2 years. the u. s. south korea and japan of condemned it. analysts say the move could be aimed at more quickly.

fielding no peroration missile submarine or diplomatic editor james base has more for the united nations diplomatically, there's been no progress on north korea since 2019. that was the year of the last failed summit between president trump and kim jong on that took place in hanoi. and then they're meeting at the military zone between north and south korea. but militarily, in the meantime, north korea has made substantial progress on its nuclear capabilities, most recently firing a ballistic missile from a submarine. now back in 2019, they filed a submarine missile, but many experts believe that was actually launched from an underwater platform. this meeting of the security council was preceded by a statement from the 3 european union members of the security council. it's clear, there's real frustration. we need a compliance with security considered resolutions. her there hasn't been results in the recent years. the only thing you can witness is

a continuation of preparation, boff on the nuclear track and the ballistic track, and it needs to stop before to to rate the u. s. ambassador of united nations, linda thomas greenfield, made it clear that she believes the sanctions imposed on north korea aren't working . we already have a sanctions regime in place. we just need to be more serious about the implementation of that regime. frankly, the $1718.00 committee is not doing it's, it's job. ah, we need to enforce these are violations. we need to ramp up the implementation of vibe of the sanctions. and we're not done that in particularly we need to focus on those who are violating sanctions. and others who are engaging in activities that break the sanctions. thank you. but complicating things for the

u. s. and its allies is the fact that there are many who would like to see the sanctions on north korea east. they include the un special wrapper turf or north korea who says there's a real risk of starvation in the country. still ahead on our 0. you as kristen group a to hold a day of prayer as negotiations for the release of 17 kid nut missionaries, dragon in haiti, and rescue of his continuing parts of india to save people stranded by landslides and flooding. ah, it's another beautiful sunny day at 35000 feet. the weather sponsored by cattle airways voted wills best airline of 2021. hi there, here's your weather update in a minute 15. we're beginning in asia, we've got rain falling in all the wrong places. so southern india where of course

the washing our dessert, a reminder of all its hop stories, they sell in brazil, a report into the countries covered 19 response has pointed the finger of blame. a president, jaya bolstered the draft reports holiday 6 month investigation, and so needs to be voted on by the senate committee and u. s. president joe biden says he's concerned about chinese hypersonic missile technology and investigation by the financial times as china had tested a new hypersonic weapon in august. china is denied reports and the un security council as held an emergency meeting on north korea a day off to pyongyang, testified a ballistic missile from a submarine. it's the 1st underwater test launch into years. the u. s. south korea and japan of condemned it. there's been an attack on a us out post in southern syria. the pentagon has confirmed, no, us forces have been injured. it struck a base in outs. humph. in homes government,

one of the country's last rebel held territories. the u. s. officials believe it was from a drone, it's the 1st time this military base has been targeted. and earlier on thursday to bombs exploded on an army bus in the syrian capital killing at least 14 people. it's the worst attack the syrian capital has seen in years. a 3rd bomb was dismantled nearby, but nobody has claimed responsibility. not long after the explosion syrian government troops heavily shelled a town in the northern province of italy, where 13 people were killed including children. now the afghan taliban says it needs international recognition to ease the country's humanitarian crisis. representatives were speaking in moscow following a conference with regional powers, including china, india, and pakistan. russia says the group would have to uphold a basic standard of human rights to get recognition. the taliban also promised her address, ongoing security concerns. we had very good meeting all the participating countries

. they supported and freezing the assets of one a, san central bank, which is actually the assets of the avalon people. and it should not be connected with political issues. and also all the participating countries, this supported close engagement with the new islamic government in afghanistan. and overall, the stomach emitted appreciate the effort and the deep positions mostly expressed by different countries, entities meeting armored. rashid is no ortho who has written extensively about the taliban in afghanistan. he says, the countries in the region are watching developments in the country very closely. there is a big play going on at the moment between all the neighboring states of sun. and the most important of which is the playing between russia and china. russia does

not want to give china the complete edge of the future of the future. as the chinese have been promising a the money and when the russians also want to protect central asia from military groups who are living in a rating quite really. and at the same time they, they, they want to have a better position than the western countries. and the united states, the world's the find, the so they promised you monetary and a good, but they're not going to recognize the thought of on until they say the thought upon make. and i think it includes minority women and other parts of the politic and also that the volleyball become more meaningful to basic human rights and respectful women,

etc. so there is a competition here, basically between this block of countries which border of the americans and europeans know, 100 people have died in floods in india and nepal. many of those deaths have been india's ultra home state where thousands of people remain cut off of the land slides blocked the roads, and the son of the state of carola is on a high alert or more heavy rainfall after 39 death in the past week from the elizabeth period on reports, an aerial survey of the northern state of orthodox shows, large areas of farmland submerged heavy rain in the past 3 days has led to flooding and lance lives which have destroyed homes and bridges and killed dozens of people in northern and southern india, more than $300.00 people have been rescued and thousands relocated in slackens

all our f coupon has been deployed to several stud affected areas on draft and rule . the national disaster response force has also deployed several teams. we are working on clearing several roads that have been closed due to flood damage. thousands of people remain cut off in the district of motor, and ronnie kit asked landslides block road. the was defected, region of camara recorded it's heaviest daily rainfall since records began a 124 years ago. camara was on the border with maple way around 50 people had been killed and 30 and missing. after flooding and landslide, their main one and southern india cleanup operations are continuing and careless with dozens have been killed during the past weeks to wrench rain. local authorities have been releasing water from dams, which were nearly full, 3 days from the worst of the flooding. and cadillac, thousands of papers, thing and belief camp like this one. the government has also doubled the number of

shelters since sunday, as it instruct people living in low line areas to move. flooding from monsoon range as an annual occurrence in canada, but people living in one of the worst effected districts, cortez told al jazeera, they have never experienced anything like it. but almost ratio is one of many people living in release camps after their homes were destroyed. in my life, i never thought something like this could happen to was because all house is on high ground was a little safer than the people living for the down earlier when there was a small flood of the water level rose, the neighbors used to come to our house to stay there until the level went down. that's how safe a house was. so i have no idea how this happened. oh, track and, and cadillac, or an opposite ends of india. the climatology say both states are experiencing more extreme rainfall events because of climate change. they're also an ecologically fragile regions with rock under the himalayas and kettler and the western got

mountain range. environmentalists say meineke construction projects and deforestation in mountains which are prone to landslides. a leading to more disasters. elizabeth, parent m al jazeera khattab kettler negotiations to pre 17 kid not members of the u. s. space mission regroup in haiti, and now entering a 5th day, the guy responsible is demanding a $1000000.00 for each person. 16 americans on one canadian were taken while returning to port a prince from an orphanage east of the capitol. manuel republic has more from puerto prince. it is worth repeating, that it is the policy of the u. s. government and not to pay ransoms in hostage situations. so to say the least, this is a complex situation both for the u. s. federal agents that are operating on the ground here in haiti. and puerto prince, as well as the local authorities, that they're working hand in hand with to secure the release of these hostages. now

this is a problem that's made significantly more complex with the worsening security situation here on the ground since the start of the year. there been 700 kidnappings, more than 700 cavities in the country, more than a 100 kidnappings that have occurred so far in just october alone. so when we talk about this worsening security situation, this is not something that's happened overnight. there was a spike in violence in criminal activity following the assassination of haitian president of nell marie's in july, there was more violence, more criminal activity following that devastating earthquake that took place in august. there's been a rising crimes like kidnappings. extortion people are angry. there's iron directed toward the government calling for accountability, but more than anything else, there's fear of from people who are worried that they may be caught in the crossfire of a turf war that is playing on, on the streets between rival gangs. here in puerto prison and other parts of the country, one interesting that we are hearing from people here on the ground is that given the exposure that the 17 hostages of given to the, to the,

to the security situation here in the country. the fact that 2nd citizen means that the eyes of the world are on this hosted situation here in haiti, and that they hope could mean finally meaningful action to not, not, not only by haitian authorities, but with the help of the united states. to finally get the security situation under control, and those kidnapped and hates, he will with the christian aid ministries. the community is now clinging to his faith and praying for the captives freedom. john, 100 reports up from berlin and the state of ohio, where the church is based. this is where the missionaries kidnapped in haiti were sent from its own a country deeply conservative, strongly religious, steeped in centuries old traditions and profoundly forgiving even to the kidnappers, that we forgive them so much love and hearts towards them. and it is our prayer on their behalf that they would turn from their evil ways and

that they would come to the god that we worship the god the one side and that they would receive forgiveness for the evil things they've done and be changed. the missionary work is an integral part of that tradition. everything is about the work of the missionary because the gods sent the god sin and accept this challenge this mission work. and there will go anywhere there will go anywhere to do that kind of work. bishop gerard maribel is a haitian american in a missionary who now lives in ohio. he is returned to haiti 13 times with his wife jacqueline, and fears for the 17 people being held captive. it's got to be really devastating. best for the georgia. i'm sure they are really afraid and don't know what's going on. that century is palpable on the streets outside cristian aid ministries,

almost country, and ohio is one part 19th century foreign. people wearing the clothes they might have worn 200 years ago and travelling on a horse and buggy, but downtown it's more of an army soon, part tourists coming by the hundreds to buy on the furniture and to sample their food with everyone we've talked to hear from both communities they, they are praying for the missionary. we just pray that they will come back safely. god has his hand in it and it will be what he wants to be. whatever happens, bishop rebel says he hopes the kidnapping won't stop. christian religious groups from sending missionaries to haiti. they used to said that haiti was a little darkness and the shadow of death in what 12000000 saw that have been bombed by poverty, ignorance, and depression. but that is changing because of missionaries. that tradition is deeply ingrained in homage. country where change comes slowly. john henderson, al jazeera berlin,
