kid. nothing's going on in the country, only impoverishing us from the middle class who have no means. but you see that the rich are not kidnapped and don't know if i talk, if not, but i'd like to let her know it's not possible that a gallon of gasoline is selling for 1100 goods. president arielle on re you're not worthy of leading the country. go go, don't our yeah, our own read. you could no longer live in the country. go, go. manuel or paula has the latest from puerto prince. it's a dangerous situation. it's a complicated situation. and after days of having no major updates, really on the status of the 17 hostages, suddenly on thursday, a lot of breaking news, a lot of new developments and ill and quite frankly, an escalation of tension here on the ground were referred specifically to that video posted on social media by the gang of $400.00 mobile zone, which is the criminal game responsible for the kidnapping. now in that video,

that was published on thursday, it appears to be a funeral of one of the members of the or of the criminal organization that was shot and killed by police. in that video, the leader of the gang addresses aria long read the prime minister of, of haiti, specifically saying that he say that quote, you have made me cry, tears, i will make you cry blood. now the leader of the gang also said that quote, he's willing to put a bullet in the heads of the 17 hostages. if his demands are not met those demands, of course, being $17000000.00 in exchange for the 17 hostages. now this remains a very complicated situation, made significantly more, more complex by the worse any security situation here on the ground. now, national police force here in haiti has declined an interview. they have not given any statement on this ongoing investigation, but a joint effort does remain underway between haitian authorities were working hand in hand with u. s. federal agents here on the ground and 80 to secure the release of the 17 hostages. cannot john, as for the haiti leverage a newspaper,

there's really a war going on between different types of popular organizations. there are the criminal groups, gangs, if you will, that have been kidnapping, distorting merchant raping young women from many cried the block of neighborhood organizations. what do you speak, call vigilance brigades, which have been fighting against them and cut some hours over 400. now, it is really the epitome of a former group. and the other group is called the g. 9 family and allies, which is really trying to stamp out crime stamp out kidnapping. and ironically the 2 groups are conflated many times and i think this is

a mistake. so the anger on the street really reflects the efforts of people every day. people working class people middle class people to try to bring a state of order in the country. i think they are they, they've done it before and who knows, i'm not sure how this will play out. i know there's a lot of talk about military intervention in circles in the u. s. the washington post is pushing this so you know, this is a very fluid situation. it could go many ways and dozens of people have been injured during rival demonstrations ensued on as the crisis of the country's transition to democracy deepens. please use take us and like bullets of dispersed crowds just outside the capital hall to him, the military has shared power with civilians and the transitional government since

2019. but there's disagreement about the way forward him. morgan reports from courtroom. i reside station of the national anthem before the chance on thursday, tens of thousands due to the streets in for dance, capital harpoon, and other cities to mark 57 years since that countries 1st revolution against military rule. but that's not the only reason these people came out over with her in ana jamison. i came here for one reason, not part of any group, but against military rule against the former ruling party. i came here to show that we want to civilian government. i came here to support a democratic civilian transition. we want all the military away from power with any of the demonstrations were called by the forces of freedom and change coalition. that's the coalition that signed a power sharing agreement with the military in 2019 following the ousting of long time president al madell bashir, it led to the formation of a transitional government with the executive power given to civilians that place to

improve the economy and rebuild state institutions, 2 years on some say, many of the goals of the revolution haven't been achieved. but i don't know if it's not a complete civilian government yet. we want it to be a completely civilian government. and when we participated in the revolution, it wasn't because of food or fuel. it was because we wanted justice to live in pace . there are some achievements, but we want the military to hand over power. and attempted coup in late september resulted in a rift between the 2 sides sharing power. it prompted the military to call for reforms within the forces of freedom and change. the forces of freedom and change wants to show it has a large support base among the population. it also wants to convey to military leaders despite the lack of political reforms and economic progress. many of me still prefer a civilian government. it's also a response to the sitting in front of the presidential palace over the past week. supporters of a dissident coalition from the forces of freedom and change,

known as the national charter alliance, has called on the government to be dissolved and a technocrat government replace it. it's supporters have called for a military took over in the short term. i should not mind years of much of the how you would as over study the country is being run by a few political parties. while there are many other groups that are in the country, where are these other groups? we don't see dummy loaded into government. they are being marginalized. we want military to take control until elections are held up. those in front of the presidential palace say they won't leave until the government is dissolved, while those who protested on faith, they say they won't allow for a dissolution to dance. prime minister says those who came out on 1st. this protest should commitment to dance transition to civilian rule. at spoken of young costumes . you today, you have proven your commitment to peacefulness and the path of freedom, democracy and civilian transitions. not the people have given their voice on past their message that there will be no backing dam from the revolution done. he has

called for dialogue, but each site is waiting for the other to compromise while to dance transition to democracy remains fragile courts between them. he but morgan august era cartoon. this house of representatives has voted all donald trump's former allies, steve bannon and contempt of congress. now this could mean he might face charges for refusing to cooperate with an investigation into the storming of the capital. in january, the former aid has ignored a subpoena from the select committee investigating me attack. richard, good sane is a democratic, political consultant and a former advisor to bill clinton. he joins us now by skype, from old bridge in new jersey. richard and the democrats were pretty confident that they were gonna win this vote, but they must have been surprised by some of the republican names that voted most of the republicans who voted in. and there were only 9 of out of over $200.00. i

had voted to impeach donald trump the 2nd time around. so the really only 2 who actually boated to day to proceed with this action against bannon, who had not voted to impeach. so it was, there were kind of the usual suspects for the most part among the republicans. but surely, surely that suggest that steve bannon is unpopular amongst democrats clearly. but it means that something might happen. he might have to do some jail time if he's becoming unpopular monks were republicans. yeah, it's really not a question of popularity in terms of whether one does jail time would, would decide whether one goes to jail is whether the prosecutors can prove beyond a reasonable doubt. that he's committed a crime and we know here that he is totally thumbed his nose at 8 lawfully issued subpoena. and that's why the congress is recommending to the u. s. department of justice that they proceed to bring this action criminal action against bannon. so

it really doesn't him so much on his popularity among anybody it has to do with what the facts are, what the law is. and honestly, he's a sturdy, so called executive privileges that have no faces whatsoever in law. so i think his case is actually rather clumsy. the reason i bring up popularity is that this, in some ways, is going to lean into steve buttons brand as a disruptor, as somebody who's a rebel, as somebody who really doesn't care about authority and establishment. is that going to be a problem moving forward is simply going to misbehave. look, i think we know exactly who steve bandy sees as his audience. it has not. it's not democrat. it's not. people, frankly, weren't particularly tuned into politics. he's a rabble rouser among very active trump supporting republicans.

they love this. they think somebody there knows a democrat is, is a great time. but that was not how our system work. donald trump felt that way too . and it came to be that law ultimately took precedence over his feeling that he took precedence over law. and i think bad in we'll see unless he's able to drag this out in court long enough. that may be the republicans take control of the house representatives. next november, and drop this entirely. that's his play. that's his play. but until then, yeah, it increases his brand. there's a lot of people who love donald trump with things he can do. he can do no wrong. who are making a lot of money off of that because there are a lot of people in the united states who absolutely slavish li are devoted to donald trump. now the results to that question, richard is because is feedback and strategy now going to be to play this for all

it's worth and to try and drag donald trump into it. because we know that had a disagreement. and actually what does this mean for the former president? remember that baton was fired because he actually got a little little too much press for donald trump's taste when binding was working in the white house in that 1st year from presidency. then he came back into trump's good graces during the 2020 campaign so hard to know exactly whether they're on the same side or not. the fact that as a legal matter with donald trump, he's already trying to use the court to block everything possible. that this january 6 committee is trying to pursue, he's gone to court to try to block the national archives to keep all federal records, including that of presidential conversations, memos, etc. emails from being disclosed to this congressional committee. so dumber trumps his play isn't the same. he's going to try to go through the court,

dragged things out as long as possible. he, i think actually think that every judge that he appointed is obedient to him. i think he learned he should have learned that's not the case, but i do believe if you put donald trump under oath today, that's what he would tell you is that he thinks these judges ultimately side with him because he put them on the bench where it's a good thing there live from new jersey was fascinating to have your thoughts. thank you. thank you man. now still ahead on our desert. libby as government confirms in support of a ceasefire and a push towards elections in december. and we're extremely disappointed with developments. european union leaders, paul, the pressure on poland to fall back into line that summit in brussels. ah, it's another beautiful sunny day at 35000 feet. the weather sponsored by cattle

airways voted world's best air line of 2021. now you may want to felt a change in season throughout east asia, because the is now coming in from the north, or it's not particularly cold. it's colder than it was. it's taking the humidity down is true. and hong kong where the temperature is below average, as is the humidity, it's true shankar but not the same degree. so it's sunshine is the basic story. there has been rain in japan, there's still a few showers around the real rain, which is the last pulse baby, the season stuff is on its way out to west pacific. so just grades that eastern side of home shoot. otherwise, no real change that there is rain gathering in the northeast of indian, a bit of snobbery in sichuan. but nothing like it was recently doesn't mean the end of it yet. but the wet season really is fair to say, although we got the ne monsoon bringing more rain to viet nam, it down through kind of on time. in particular, where the wet season is. we've got 3 months here of figures a 3 or 400 meters per city,

per month for one extra is the proper rainy season. the monsoon rains are and i retreating property from india, but they did pulse very unusually all the way up through a, through account as you saw the resulting club. they've also in producing law right up in our sam. that's also easy off, as is the stuff in corolla and kanaka, but it's still that it might become rather heavier. by the end of saturday. the weather sponsored by cattle airways voted world's best air line of 2021. when an ethiopian mother put her daughter up for adoption, she knew little of what was to come. with family, bon, separate, a traumatized child, torn between 2 worlds, struggles to return home in a profoundly human story, exposing deep floors in denmark's adoption system. a girl in return, a weakness documentary on al jazeera. ah

ah, you're watching out, is there a reminder of our top story? is this our protest to taking place in haiti over is deteriorating security situation and gang violence. the leader of the haitian gang accused of kidnapping 16 americans, one canadian, was threatened to kill them. if a ransom isn't paid tens of thousands of joined rival demonstrations to dawn as tensions grow over his political future. t gas was used to disperse protesters trying to reach halting hill, calling for greater civilian control of the government. and the us house of representatives is voted whole. donald trump's former ally seed, bannon and contempt of congress. this means he could face charges for refusing to

cooperate with an investigation into the storming of the capital in january. any see of here, the government is carried out as strikes on the nolan t gray region for the 3rd time this week. a mandatory training center in the capitol mckayla was targeted. 3 people were killed at s strokes on monday, rebels and t. grey said that was civilians which the federal government denies. thousands of people have been killed and more than 2000000 displaced since the fighting broke out almost a year ago. now libby, as unity government stressed its commitment to a ceasefire at an international conference in tripoli is looking for support ahead of nationwide election scheduled for december. malik trina reports from the trip from triplet delegates from over 30 countries and international organizations, including the un european union, and the arab league, gathered in the libyan capital for libya stabilization conference. high on the agenda, the upcoming general election unifying state institutions,

and the expulsion of foreign fighters and mercenaries, libya stability conferences with no doubt, a very important events and libya's history as the libya didn't hold such a big event where all neighboring and friends, countries are representing from the heart of the capital of libya, tripoli, and it shows that there is a bold statement that libya is going to work, the stability in a very strong and steady steps. also, it shows the solidarity of the international community, the word libya, stability, previous conferences on libya were held in berlin, geneva, paris, and italy is the 1st time in over 10 years that an international meeting on libya is being held within the country. nationwide elections are scheduled in just over 2 months, but there are a few road blocks that macy's on postpone

a constitutional framework to hold. elections has yet to be agreed upon, and there are an estimated $20000.00 foreign fighters and mercenaries in libya. a comprehensive action plan to expel them out of the country is one of the main topics being discussed here. the government of national unity hopes this conference can build international support and pressure to expel foreign fighters out of the country. but it's not likely to happen before the elections here looking at a very pragmatic approach of in phases. we're starting to withdraw foreign fighters mercenaries and foreign forces. some of that can happen before the election. some of it would happen after the election. i think the important thing is to try to continue our efforts together to, to start that process. many people here believe this conference is a step in the right direction. but the, what i want for this conference being held in libya and attended by so many countries is a sign that the international community are now convinced how important libya is

for each and all security and stability of the hope is that differences can be put aside and consensus is made to move the country forward, all with political divisions emerging within the unity government. many libyans fear the elections would be postpone and they see a return to the fighting. this show of international support may give some a glimmer of hope. the country can move forward, my latrina, l 0, tripoli, and belinda parliament has voted to legalize abortion. it allows women to access the procedure within the 1st 3 months of pregnancy. previously, it was permitted under very strict conditions, including if the mother's life was threatened, nearly 200 women die in benign each year from complications following unsafe abortions. that others dispute the european unit over e, you law as overshadowed a summit and brussels talks were supposed to focus on europe's energy crisis. the blocks concerned is foundations. however,

are being threatened after poland. constitutional court ruled the e. you law only applies in specific areas. natasha butler has more from brussels, where talks of wrapped up for the knife. well, it doesn't seem that it's been resolved and if it has, we're certainly not being told about it because you leaders have wrapped up a business of for the day. this was the 1st a day of a 2 day summit and it was day dominated by this route between member state, poland and the you know, that you has accused poland repeatedly in the past of eroding rights. and the independence of the judiciary. things really came to a hand head earlier this month when a top polish court ruled that a polish law could take precedence over you law in some areas. now that was seen as absolute explosive in e. u circles rocking the foundations of the you because all member states must abide by e. you law. well lead us here. we're very vocal in the criticism of poland all

except for hungry polish ally, the lead of the havoc to all been praising a poland stand. nevertheless, yachts of divisions on one side you have some leaders say what is needed is a tough punitive measures against poll and things like a withholding you money a launching legal action. on the other side though, you have those who are calling for dialogue, coding for com to deescalate the tensions. now the problem is for the e, you is they are facing a real headache, a challenge because on one side, if they all to put in place top sanctions against poland, they could risk some say, alienating poland, pushing pole. and further away from that you something that they said you don't want to risk so soon off to break it. on the other hand, if they don't do anything, they could look week and that would send them wrong message to other member states . millions war americans are getting closer to corona virus vaccine booster. with

government advisors, endorsing extra doses of all 3 available vaccines. the centers for disease controls advisory panel says people can choose a different vaccine from their booster from what they previously received. the food and drug administration had already authorized such an expansion of the nation's booster campaign on wednesday. but the cdc has the final word on the drive with, with its director expected to make a ruling soon. new zealand prime minister says strict code 19 lockdown measures will be lifted once 90 percent of the country is fully vaccinated. so far around 70 percent of the country has received both doses. the largest city, oakland has been in lockdown for more than 2 months and restrictions remain in place elsewhere. doubt it has made it very hard to maintain our elimination strategy. it's tentacles have reached into our communities and made it hard to shape even using the best public health meshes in the toughest restrictions we had

available to us. that right, as our longstanding strategy was challenged, we also had a new till one that means it's cove. it has changed, we could change to, and rather than being locked down, we could move forward safely and with confidence. when hey, as more from tauranga and new zealand. if you throw in the number of people who have only had their 1st dose of the 5, the vaccine nation wide, then the figure is 86 percent. so it is close. but that last few percent may be difficult to achieve. and this whole plan all revising its strategy to combat to deal with coven 19 hinges on getting to that 90 percent vaccination right nationwide. the government says it will review the vaccination race and everything else associated with this new plan. at the end of november, end of november. it's come about really because the government has been coming on

to increasing pressure from business, but also from the general public to create a pathway forward to show some guidance really, to give some signals about what the future might look like. and it really signals formerly and into the government's elimination strategy. when it comes to coven 19 that it adopted at the beginning of the pandemic. and for the most part that's been largely successful. but of course the delta variant changed everything. so it signals, now that new zealanders have to start living with cove at 19 in the community and manageable levels, if that's possible, with fewer restrictions in place and an end to nationwide locked downs. more than a $180.00 people now died in floods across parts of india and nepal. the 1st flooding was caused by late monsoon rains is and has destroyed homes, crops, and infrastructure. and he's ha, people have been killed in india with northern arthur. hon state was hit and neighboring the pole. at least 99 people are known to have died. another 40,

a still missing has a green line to greenland i. sheets or melts. a huge deposits of rare earth elements are being uncovered, but farmers worried about radioactive dust. and waste water and trying to block mining projects. nick clock visited the town of norfolk in south greenland. the sight of one proposed one a statue of leaf ericsson, the viking, who said to have discovered america 400 years before columbus gazes out overseen. that might surprise you. it's the end of summer, and the sheep have been rounded up for market farming as part of the way of life in the south. but these lands also hold new possibilities. i headed up a mountain valley near the town of na sack, the rocks here hold some of the world's richest deposits of rare of minerals. this is the sides of an old uranium mine. it's long been decommissioned. but now international mining companies want to dig deep again the rock we see all around us

. it was for 3 or 4 kilometers beneath the earth's crust. and then about a 1000000000 years ago, these mountains just reared up and they reckon that within this area alone, there are one and a half 1000000 tons of rare minerals with another 26000000 tons at a site nearby. and all of that combined is enough to supply the wealth total need, a rare earth minerals for a 115 years, which is why this whole area is just so valuable and has so much attention. this is my mother's father. i met with neil secaria son who's been fighting the proposed mind for years. man, i to shush off. i'd like to ship. if the mind gets to go ahead, the 1st thing that will affect us is dust followed by radioactive radiation. those things will start from the 1st day of production that's going to affect our water supply. and it's only 3 kilometers away from the mining site. meaning we won't be able to continue living in norfolk public meetings were held earlier in the year with the mining company involved,

although they didn't attend the most recent want us, my time that green and minerals who are australian and part chinese owned a c o told al jazeera, there's been misinformation about the project in the community that does not accurately reflect the impact assessments and has caused concern among local stakeholders. this is unfortunate when the project is met. stringent environmental standards, mining would bring jobs, business opportunities and economic stimulus for the local community. across greenland, the issue is so controversial, it toppled the national government. and in came the indigenous in europe, party who have promised to stop the mine. but they recognize a future government might reverse that as a day draws to a close more sheep and being rounded up, the farmers have grave concerns about the impact of toxic waste on the land and waterways. the sheep thrive on the water will feed foyce and the sea will be processed and then we will be process. i will not never accept the mining thickly
