ah, now g 0 with every oh, [000:00:00;00] i more if you p and governments air strike. so li, trouble, t gray region as it's new offensive answers a 2nd week. ah, i'm hello, marchese. this is al jazeera life, and doha also coming up the be an official say their own cause to register candidates for december's elections. but many herbals hurtles remain before the

votes. big breakthrough in columbia is more against strokes, but some say the arrest or drug lord or tanya will not make much difference for us . i'm adarine on a wild boar hunt in tuscany. we'll tell you why the hunt for this area has taken on greater meaning. ah, if he appears military has carried out more air strikes in t granny as a renewed campaign against rebels control, most of the region intensifies among the sites hits was a facility in the town of ottawa being used by the tea gray people's liberation front to manufacture military equipments, that's according to the government's fighting's, been going on for almost a year, but air strikes and bombardment, spying a few of his military increased over the past week. that's forced the u. n. to

cease humanitarian flights to the regional capital, mckelly mcbride. and as a strategic advisor with san research, a think tank, focusing on politics and security in the horn of africa, he's been comparing the military capabilities of the ethiopian military and the tig ryan forces. on the one hand, a c o, p is a state, a government which had until recently, one of the most powerful militaries on the continent. and it has access to military assistance from allies. it has been purchasing weapons and ammunition including drones, but also conventional armaments for ground forces for the last few months. while the t d f for the grand defense forces is isolated visit blockade on the, on the to gray region which means they don't have resupply. but at the same time,

it is the 2 grand forces that seem to have taken the advantage or the initiative they have retaken control of most of to gray region. and they have now taken the offensive into neighboring alpha. and i'm hotter regions with the intention of lifting the blockade on to gray and bringing the yoke in federal government to the bargaining table. the areas that have been bombed the facilities are far behind the front lines. they are at best sort of dual use facilities that could be civilian, might have been re purposes for. ringback for military reasons, but in general in warfare, you know, this sort of strategic bombing aiming for targets that really don't have any tactical or immediate value has as

a very mixed record at best. and in some ways it seems to be galvanizing the 2 grand defense forces and their supporters. libya's electoral commission says candidate registration for december's elections will begin next month. the country's to rival legislative houses have yet to decide on how the vote will work . a peace deal struck last year means both must agree on a political framework before elections can actually take place. by the trainer is in tripoli. he explains more about what's yet to be green's ahead of the elections . we're just 2 months away from the scheduled nationwide elections in libya, but there's still some questions that's what kind of election libyans will see. will they be a general election with the parliamentary elections? what we see a parliamentary presidential election simultaneously? those are questions that have yet to be resolved, as the size have yet to agree upon

a constitutional framework for those elections to be held. now earlier today, imagine say at the head of the high national electoral commission said a few things. one, he said the commission will not deviate from its commitment to implement free and fair elections. he says we plan on opening the door for candidates to register and the 2nd half of november. and this is really where the divide happens. who can run for president? what kind of powers the president have? according to the libyan political agreement, signed in 2015. the high council of state based in tripoli and the house of representatives, the parliament based and eastern libya. have to agree upon this framework to hold elections here and in tripoli. they've set some conditions. they voted on the conditions for who can run for president. that bar you have to control eastern eastern libya. they've allowed, they voted for condition that allow for have to, to, to run for president. now whether or not the very side,

the high council state and the parliament can agree upon a framework within these couple of weeks of, in order for the elections to be held us schedule. we're not really sure. and we're going to have to wait and see what kind of solution the various slides come up with an order for libyan to be able to carry out the vote. while they're springing william lauren snow, he's a professor at the american university. he was a senior us diplomats in charge of libyan affairs at the state department and served in tripoli and joins has no from washington dc. it's good to have you with us. william lauren says we were hearing from our correspondent the still an awful lot to be iron dates. do you think the country is ready for these elections within the tiny table settings? well, it's not ready at all in the sense that it has the long list of issues that you're report or correctly identify. these are the big issues. there are some other ones as well and none of these has been resolved in many respects. they will be result by the time elections,

but the reason we're having election is because the libyan population doesn't want the current government to stay in charge. once those parliamentary bodies, he mentioned even less to stay in charge. and one of the ironies here is that the other responsibilities they're claiming to come up with the constitutional basis for election of the 2015 agreement. neither have been ratified that agreement. and so really what needs to happen is both sides just have to forge forward with elections, which are going to produce as many problems. so, but really, libyans want to turn a page after 6 years of civil war. and a major step forward is the whole election and the big international conference last week and tripoli was for that reason as well. the very senior representation from trance from the u. s. from other countries, pretty much every outside power. they deal with their accept the moratti's and the radi. they're supporting political over a military solution. so there's

a lot of reasons why this could fail, but there's a lot of impetus to make it happen. the rims and you mentioned that libyans are certainly one thing, a change of government, a change at the tone, but unless the both parties can decide on who's allowed to stand. i mean, i mean, what sort of candidates are we? are we going to see? is there going to be someone the libyan people want to vote for standing in these elections? well, actually i've been talking to as many living as i can about these candidates and mostly been don't like all 5 of the candidates that have expressed interest in running. probably the least unpopular is out of niagara currently in the u. s. e and it's farmed a new party called maybe a party, and he seems to be less objectional than could our son, the general that lead the attack on tripoli in 2019 and,

and perpetrated the civil war. the head of the eastern parliament which the west of the trust and some of these other candidates. the 2nd, the most popular, i think, is chicago, who was the interior minister of the last and quite popular in that defensive tripoli. but again, he's not popular in the east, and we got a little him to what was coming when the current entering government was formed by the libyan critical dialect. for earlier this year, when we have a western block running against the eastern block and walk and, and the consensus 3rd party block one. and that's the type of candidates, the libyans will be looking for. do you think, given all of this, do you think these elections are likely to solve anything a toll? well, they start the road towards political legitimacy. whether we're going to get 10 percent of the way there are 30 percent of the way there through elections. it's not, nothing will need to constitution,

but libya held many round with entry and municipal elections without a constitutional basis to have what they call constitutional declaration. but the fight over the constitution have to do with very fundamental issues like what role . busy does islam play in future libya and hispanic shari'a? how are the ethnic minorities dealt with? what are the powers of the president versus the parliament, which is a big issue and you're right now. and the libyans are wrapped with attention watching, unfolding events. and just so there are many, many issues that won't be solved, but the greatest chance to keep the cease fire on track and the political process moving forward is to have the election. ok, great, so get your thoughts william lawrence. thank you so much for speaking to us. here on al jazeera, we do appreciate it. columbia as president says, the rest of the countries, both ones had drug traffickers,

the biggest hits to the drug trade, the century tiro, antonio suga, who also goes by the name or tonia, was captured in a remote part of the country, close to the border with panama, on saturday, he's the leader of columbus biggest drug cartel. and the other central or m p t has more from better the rest of dial antonio also got better known as austin. yell is on the front pages of all the newspapers here in columbia and the talk of the town here in the capital book with that. and beyond that, because this is a very significant arrest. but you would be hard pressed to find anybody who believes this carries the same weight as the death of pablo escobar back in 1993, as the president of columbia suggested when he announced that the capture people here will tell you that at the height of escobar power. those were much scarier

times as bomb went off in a major cities across the country. also, escobar was a very public figure and a person who became a sort of robin hood for many a poor columbia answer while alton. yeah, he's definitely a household name here, and he is very powerful, especially in the north west of the country. but he spent most of his time hiding in the jungle. is no one and will be regular. good news that he was captured and i don't think it's going to change much. i'm just because the programs in the country remain the same company. and oh, no, no, not, not that area cuz i don't think it will have the same impact as death of pub last, cuba that caused the real change in the country and with in colombian, society, this arrest doesn't feel to say the truth is that it's difficult to know just how much of an impact this will have on the elicit, the drug trade, the experts will tell you that if the demand of cocaine remains the strongest,

most likely new leaders will appear that will replace them. what we do know is that the columbia wants to extradite auto near to the united states, where he will face a number of charges, and will many people hope that he will share secrets about both his operations here and his many international connections. sergio guzman is the director and co founder of columbia risk analysis. he says the arrest will have little impact on the drug war. did basic equation of the drug war, which is a very inflexible supply and, and in elastic demand coming from the united states in europe, another consuming countries. so just a changing auto nil ah, is going to be quickly replaced by other drug king pins. we're going to continue taking advantage of that basic equation that their supply and there's demand, and people will continue doing cocaine in the pacific coast and in the caribbean coast,

where the glendale world for operates. these cartels don't manage the cities, but the rural areas, parts of the wood on your can, your parts of the wire hook, oak parts of charcoal remain under the control of many of these organizations. now, the government has the full ability to move and to participate in operations in these areas. but after the government leaves these organizations take control. i think it's an unquestionably a victory for the government and for the authorities that are able to demonstrate that they have the ability to have intelligence assets to have a, an, a very closely coordinated operation against the most wanted criminal of the country. so i don't want to undermine the importance of what that means, but strategically the larger picture doesn't suggest that this is a game changer off. i sell has claimed responsibility for saturday's boss in the

camden capital. at least one person died and 7 others were injured in the explosion at a restaurants in the suburb of compiler. police say 3 suspected bombers disguised themselves as customers, and thought it exposes in a plastic bag. still has own al jazeera, it's here guess as far don't protest as incident after they broke a major bridge in the capitol. tackling sky of walk us in branson, berlin will tell you what could happen to thousands of apartments owned by big corporations. ah, it's another beautiful sunny day at 35000 feet. the weather sponsored by cattle airways, boated world's best, a line of 2021. now we should be smelling the snow in no one, channel, mongolia. have

a look at the temperature. so if you'd spell the snow from that you would not. so went is not really pushing its way out of town yet. in fact, if anything, this bit of late summer rain is coming back into japan from the pacific, the orange center suggests heavy rain through accuse you she coker and more especially home shoe during monday and tuesday, catching tokyo as well behind it. there's a hint of another frontal system going through, but it's not dropped temperatures, beijing's at 20 millimeters by 10. so when no, any freezing is warned up in hong kong, no spot on average. it's 20 about 2 days ago. so we're going the wrong way. sees it seasonally, but the rain follows the sun that is going the right way. it's going south with the sun, but it produces those spinners on its way out and that's no exception. so suddenly an am is going to be particularly wet during tuesday. same is true or western me, i'm on eastern bangladesh, that's a wet spell. this is more or less the monsoon dropped complicated by aberration to the shape. not as wetting. carolyn cannot because it been recently in so lank. it

probably will be there. the rest of india is more or less as you might expect, a scattering a shout in the pole, and utter account. otherwise dry. the weather sponsored my cattle airways, voted world's best airline of 2021. a small closed middle east in community whose history goes back nearly 3000 years. with a population under threat. when men outnumber women 3 to one. out there. oh wow. the man decided to break with tradition, and mary flooring, with samaritan weddings signed field delivered on out there, lou

ah, this is al jazeera, a quick reminder, all the top stories this are. if you piers military has carried out more air strikes in the t gray region as a renewed campaign against the rebels, intensifies fighting's been going on for almost a year, but air strikes, aren't bombardment by the government increased over the past week. columbia's president says the rest of the country's most wanted drug trafficker is the biggest hits to the drug trade, the century. tiro, antonio suga, is the leader of columbia's biggest drug cartel. libby is electoral commission says candidate registration for december's elections will begin next month. at the countries to wyvil legislative houses have yet to decide on how the fault will work . for military protest,

susan sudan have blocked. major votes in the capitol. the sanctions grew between the generals and the pro democracy movements to your gas was far to clear. the protest, as in cartoon relations have surge between the military and civilians sharing power in a fragile transition governments. it's supposed to lead, sit on 2 elections after a long time leader or more of the sheer was pushed from power in 2019 hippa, morgan has more from cartoon. the response comes after the protesters in front of the presidential palace where they've been teaching assistant for over a week. now, trying to expand the area of the sits in to try to pressure the government and to dissolving itself. and a new cabinet be formed by the prime minister. now the reason why the states that sits in front of the presidential palace is because most of them are pro military. they want the military to take over and take charge of the country. many of them

coming out of their that they want the military to handle the affairs of the nation until elections are held because they say that the government is not representative . now, the governor of whom issued a statement just after the dispersing of the protest, saying that those who are behind the blockade of the breaches and the roads are members of the former ruling party, which was also from power on april 2019 following months of anti government process, he said that there are also parts of the group that are participating in front of the fit. and i'm trying to stabilize the, the, the country and trying to make it very hard for people to move. so that people can be frustrated to the point that they're drawn into violence. now again, the system has been going on for more than for more than a week with processes demanding that prime minister to dissolve his cabinets. and that's the result of a split between the forces of freedom and change coalition. that the ruling coalition, that is right now running the government and molly gunman have kills at least 10 people in an attack on a base of

a paramilitary group known as the guns or i. so it happens in the northern region of go, the group was formed in 2009 and is backed by the army. it's still unclear who is responsible for the attack. because hot, because the falling developments from the car in leaving cynical another brazen attack in mali, this time it against a government backed militia called the gondo e. so which in the sir i language means the children of the land. this is a group made up of former military soldiers as well as local militia groups that have joined forces, a camp that is a home to over a 1000 soldiers into places 10 minutes drives away from the un base, as well as the french backan base at least 10 people were killed, many more were wounded. no one has claimed responsibility for this attack. no human

rights watch accuse the malia in military as well as government backed militias of extra judicial killing. and this has increased since there has been an effort by the 1000000 government to support government backed militias. the united nations security council are asking the government of bomber co, led by former military june to a semi goiter to organize free and fair elections. as soon as possible. currently, they're scheduled to take place a by february 2022. however, there has been signs by this government to delay those elections. we're here to listen to the transition authorities and determine the best way to support them in their full efforts to realize this transition. we also come with clear messages on the need to organize the election, implement the piece agreement, and stabilized the center of molly. the crisis in molly has spread beyond its

borders to neighboring leisure and burkina faso at stake. here are the people in this a hell. over a 1000000 people have been displaced because of the ongoing crisis, with the humanitarian situation degrading rapidly. as a tax increase. near mars military is accused the un of trying to incite violence in the country. the un has warns there could be mass atrocities after reports, thousands of troops are gathering in the north. the special reports her own men mar, says the tactics are ominously reminiscence. of those deployed before a bloody crack to an owner. a hinge minority in 2016. at the june to says the u. n . is using human rights as a political tool to intervene in mia mars internal affairs housing in berlin. like many other cities is becoming increasingly unaffordable. berliners

recently voted overwhelmingly in favor of a proposal for authorities to seize war than 200000 homes and put them into public ownership. but as that vassal reports, political and legal hurdles mean it may never happen. daniel digman is one of the last residents there, living in this large apartment block in the heart of berlin. it's just his little 101 flats. 85 have been empty for years with a company who bought it, fighting legal battles to demolish, to block, to make way for new apartment if it is empty. and so many people are looking for a house in berlin. yeah, that's a summer. while most residents have left dickman decided to stay despite receiving threats and his car being sat on fire. once matters for it and barbara and for sorry, we are furious of when did was happen to us as when did housing turned into a commodity? was housing being traded on was dog marketed? how is it possible that

a public good customer is being used to make such astronomical profiles? as archer rance have skyrocketed as global investments have bought into berlin, real estate in a referendum, more than 1000000 berlin us 57.6 percent of those who voted, chose in favor of buying out companies that own more than $3000.00 apartments. miss garrett, so it's changed with old buildings making play for new ones, leaving some long term residence, not my choice, but the move out where it's perhaps most european cities. but here when they have made it clear, they are fed up. the referendum was based on provisions in the german constitution that explicitly says property can be expropriated when it's for the public good. but this legal expert believes the plan will be overturned in court. in germany, we have 215 in the constitution, which says that nationalization is possible, but it's subject to what applies to every action by the state. it has to be proportionate,

and there are many other more effective fraternities. nationalization won't cause sing a new apartment to be built and building new apartments. and many other matter. certainly more important than nationalization. campaign us in favor of the measure don't agree. they say several legal opinions show that expropriation is possible that we want the will of berlin's population to be implemented. we know it takes a while to draft the law. the question is whether they really want to do it, or whether the city governments trying to hold it up and kick it into the long grass. that's something we won't accept. we've just had the most successful referendum in berlin's history. for most of daniel dick month neighbors, the referendum came too late, and soon he too might have to move elsewhere. them grad honesty, start reverse anglers, and does not to city. is it? does it just belong to the big corporation driven by the stock market? whose only purpose is to make profits for shareholders at any cost?

so my next question is, what kind of life do we want in this city? a question that politicians here are going to have to answer step, fasten al jazeera in berlin. italy is struggling with the rising number of wild born animals rampaging across, thorns, causing traffic accidents and answering cities in search of food at a brainy winter with hunters. a need to keep their numbers down. the hunt is on. it's the 1st day of change alley wild afore season. and these dogs have caught the sent it a team effort in tuscany. while they scour the forest, a fellow hunter waits patiently in the hills above. he and others have staked out positions across a wide territory waiting for the right moment. loan hunters like this one are spread across there waiting for their team members to flush out the chin gala with packs of dogs. near by the sound of gunfire,

perhaps another member of the team. down hill. when we arrive we see they've had success hunting wild boar long central to tuscan culture and cuisine had gained an urgency. done the room in to the damage they've caused in recent years is impressive. they now come into our gardens, even our houses and into town causing all kinds of damage. like you go out to water garden and you run into a bowl. nano. they even cause car crashes. the hunters have kept their recreational pursuit in a new light, calling and out of control population. just decades ago in estimated 50000 bore room for the whole country. that number has risen to 2000000, causing destruction and invading cities. viral videos like this one, show a pack of wild for scouring room for food, fertile ground with trash strewn on city street. here, a family of 4 corner,

a woman with her groceries. across the country. officials are testing different strategies. just after dawn outside rome, these park rangers check traps that were set the night before. clearly a successful night, very cozy. last year they caught more than $500.00 board this reserve. the head of the program says the important goal is within reach. a okey dokey corn i believe if we can catch up to a 1000 or so a year, we can bring back a balance, maintaining the by diversity while reducing damage to agriculture and bringing down the numbers while boy and trying to city would see that of the 5 we saw in cages most were juveniles piece for quite young. just a few months old and park ranger say from a population control point of view, that's a good game because what they want to do is catch the boar while they're still young before they're able to reproduce. though not killed immediately, the hard truth is these boys will meet the same fate as those we saw him hunt,

though soon be slaughtered for the local market. adam rainy al jazeera rome to paraglider, as have survived, amid our collision, the long turkey's south western coast. the moments was captured by an onlooker in the area of olu denise. if a rescue after falling into the sea, the paraglider as for taking part in an international air games festival. ah, i'm alamo his in. but the headlines on al jazeera, ethiopia military has carried out more air strikes in the t gray region. as a renewed campaign against the rebels who control most of the region intensifies. i things been going on for almost a year, but our strengths and bombardments by the government increased over the past week. columbia, as president says,
