10:07 am
the supreme court. now will anything happen on the short term? no, the most likely not, um, this is a process that takes a long time. president shay annabelle sonata would have enough to be impeached just with these results. but the impeachment is a political process, and elections will be presidential elections will be held in exactly one years. so there isn't time for that. sedans state oil company workers have joined us growing civil disobedience movement against monday's military. cou, a coalition of unions has been calling for strike to protest the military power grab kind of the thought out about hands as detaining civilian leaders warrants necessary to avoid a civil war. the prime minister of the land has been allowed to return to his own residence, where he remains under type security. the latest would have been morgan in our tomb hit the oil work is supposed to boil 1st of oil. first of all,
10:08 am
tell me about the significance of that, and if they are joining this movement, while the oil sector is very crucial to keep the dance economy and other sectors functioning. now, it's already in turmoil because of the blockade of the port in the eastern states. of red sea where protesters have been demanding the cancellation of the eastern tract. that main port is also used for the important for the imports of oil and filter of it have. so there was already a shortage of oil of patrol and oil derivative here in the country with the oil workers joining the civil disobedience. they say that in condemnation to the military takeover and the dissolution of the civilian pro transitional government. they say that many of them have formed unions and they were on their path to progress and to a democratic transition. and now that has been halted. so lots of people joining the civil disobedience calls made called for by the forces of freedom and change coalition. as well as the food in the professional association that the body that
10:09 am
has been there heading protests against former president. i'm going to shoot when the revolution started in december 2018. now, many people, many other sectors have also announced that they will be joining us, this strikes and civil disobedience. we also have the railway workers union saying that they are going to join the truck. they're going to try to hold the operations around the country to make it clear to the military that they don't want military took over and they do not approve of it. and however, ah, the protests, people still out on the streets. what is the feeling like now what awaits? you know, 3 days nicer. people have thought it barricading and setting up roadblocks in various parts of the neighborhood. they say that they're responding to the called again, made by the force of the freedom and change coalition. and this is a nice professional association that people should protest within neighborhoods to avoid any kind of biling clashes with, with,
10:10 am
with the military ethic or 2 forces. there are some security forces around the capital, one to many shops and businesses are yet to open. many of them are wary of the late the military takeover. they don't know what impact that would have when the economy, they don't know what impact that would have on their businesses as well. and some of them are saying that they want to join the civil disobedience and that they're joining the revolution until a civilian government or a civilian lead transitional government is restored. now this is all, despite the fact that prime minister of the lamb took has been returned back to his house under heavy security. it's not clear to many people yet how much freedom he will have. if he'd be able to talk to the media. if he'd be able to leave his house at 3 will. so these are questions that many people are asking, but they say they want to see the prime minister back as a big negative cabinet. and they want the other members of be executive and the helper and pick up a better now dissolved, brought back again and released from detention. they also say that they've been
10:11 am
that the recent waves of arrest of political figures and activists is raising concerns. and they say that they will not can, they will not, and their process, they will not, and the barricade, or remove the barricade that they've been set up until they see the restoration of the government that has been dissolved by the military. that is have a morgan with the latest update from cartoon. thank you. have a in iraq, at least 11 people have been killed by. i sal attack has indiana province. they used hand grenades and machine guns during their assault on a village of. i'll hello asha, a u. n. report published early this year, estimated around $10000.00 deisel fight as do remain active across iraq and syria. despite their self proclaimed caliphate collapsing. kenneth counts, mins, and exit on the gulf regions of the even though i saw was defeated overall, the group is showing it can still cause fear and violence. it's very hard to tell from one incident to 2 incidents. ah, whether there's a pattern. we don't know that there's a research and so we,
10:12 am
we know that i so doesn't control any real big mat, large amount of territory any more. however, you know, we've always known since the defeat was declared 2017 that i saw was defeated. we've always known they have sleeper cells, they have cells, they've been conducting attacks that most larry at the western desert area they've, they've had a presence to y'all. a province is a mixed province. certainly, you know, the islamic state to obviously the sunni group. there's obviously tensions with the shia. there are many shia in d l a province. i so feeds on certainly resentment of the shia domination. let's say of the political system. and what i think is perhaps could happen is the key she malicious now, will say there were i sal attacks and we need to be empowered to push back to fight
10:13 am
back against i. so and they made use of these attacks to have their own empowerment again. but there are villages, there are communities where there are 6 air intentions. but d ala is a perfect example because both suddenly and she, a one, a control that's maybe so there are, there are tensions, and i so feeds on those tensions. the us state department says it's deeply concerned about and is already planned to build thousands of jewish settlements in the occupied west bank. it is also concerned about the publication of tendons full, $1300.00 settlement units, settlement across a legal under international law. though israel disputes this, we strongly oppose the expansion of settlements, which is completely inconsistent with efforts to lower attentions and to ensure com and it damages the prospects for a 2 state solution. we have been consistent,
10:14 am
as i said, and clear in our statements to this effect. we also view plans for the retro active legalization of illegal outhouse as unacceptable. we continue to raise our views on the tissue directly with senior is really officials in our private discussions check on the world whether is next. and then we'll see why indigenous communities in ecuador have been blocking major roads in the country and raising a stink on british beaches. the public outcry that's forced to you turn on the dumping of sewage. ah hello, we got more stormy weather, churning away across central parts of the met. it's ready this little clutches, stoves remains in place. more very heavy downpours into southern parts of italy, pushing over to ward says, hello marius of greece, sam. but for many,
10:15 am
for europe as you can see, large fine and dry, we have got that atlantic fade of wet weather. and at times windy weather, pushing in across the north, whether the lease is balled, whether it's coming in from the, at the tropics. at the end of the day, 16 celsius in glasgow getting up to around 17 celsius there in london. but it will turn increasingly wet across ireland across much of the u. k. as we go on through a wet and stipe ticked across northern areas of england, pushing across into scotland and more of the same as you go on for a thursday. possibly have some localized flooding coming through here. it'll grassy turn, some wetter, across wiles and the southwest approaches of english. for many, as i said, is fine and dry. lots of love, the sunshine coming through. well, quite lovey into the magic say we still have that little circulation there. more heavy down poles coming in across sicily. pushing into the far south of italy, easing across the 2 southern aries, a great creek. for example, seeing some live the shares wanted to showers, also affecting northern areas of ch, nidia, northern parts of algeria. stingray ret, for the gulf of guinea,
10:16 am
and much of west africa. ah. but in the country, with an abundance of results. right. are and why easier firms for me, we move full to grow and fraud. we balance for green economy, blue economy, and the digital economy with the new job creation law, indonesia is progressively ensuring the policy reform to create quality jobs, investment. let it be part linda. this is broke and progress in indonesia now ah, ah,
10:17 am
on al jazeera, these are the top stories, and we have spoken exclusively to one of haiti's and most powerful gang leaders. jimmy sher say, he says he will lift a fuel blockade if the prime minister resigns, a petal shortage is the lightest crisis to grip haiti. a committee of brazilian senators has voted to recommend criminal proceedings against the president for his handling of the pandemic. the attorney general now has 30 days to decide if john bolts and our should face charges, including crimes against humanity and sedans, state oil company workers have joined a growing civil disobedience movements against monday's military. coups. the coalition of unions has been calling for strikes to protest the military's hologram . lebanese forces party leader has been asked to testify on the recent violence in the capital bay route. some georgia though, says he will not appear at the defense ministry until the leader has bella hassan us. rolla is also summoned. 7 shia muslims were killed in the fighting early this
10:18 am
month. spanish by protests, against judge tonic bethought the lead investigator in los g as blast at barrett port will christian residents of blocked a road in merab north of the capital in support of sammy, a challenger. and zanna hunter is therefore asana. well, yes, the decision by the army intelligence to summon the leader of the lebanese forces some air charged for questioning over the deadly clashes invade route to earlier this month is causing a lot of tension. we are in my rob supporters of the lebanese forces leader. they're here in the streets, they're blocking all roads leading to this town. basically creating a human shield saying that they will not allow the authorities to question him some air shot i was supposed to appear in front of the army intelligence at 6 g m t. this morning, his lawyers are now saying that this summoning is illegal and that when the army
10:19 am
completed the investigation, the army handed the file to the military court. why is the army intelligence now involved? and it's not just that the very fact that the military court is involved in the, in this case, is causing a lot of controversy. human rights groups say that the military court is politicized. the judges are not independent. in fact, over the years, the authorities have used the, the military court in order to harass and intimidate a political opponents. in fact, josh, out himself said that the judge who issued that summon is under the influence of hezbollah. so a deep divide, people taking to the street saying that they will protect their leader, they feel that he is being singled out. they feel that this is politics at play. they feel that the lebanese forces is being targeted simply because of its, its position. and it's really has been one of the most vocal opponents of has the law throughout the recent years. so a political crisis continuing, but what we understand is that behind the scenes, the countries leadership,
10:20 am
they are trying to find a way out of this crisis. because like you mentioned, it began with division to over the judge who is investigating that massive explosion that made reports in 2020. it seems that they're trying to find a way out in order for the political crisis, the end, and the country can focus on dealing with an economy that has all but collapsed, then reporting from the north bay route. thanks. dana, madagascar, southern region is experiencing its worst drought and 40 years pushing more than a 1000000 people to the brink of famine. this is, according to an amnesty, international report which has 4 consecutive drops of wiped out harvests and climbed lives. the number of children with life threatening malnutrition has also quadrupled. the un says madagascar close to experiencing the wolves, burst climate jane, climate change driven famine. the u. n. is also wanting, half of afghanistan's population could face acute hunger if they don't receive
10:21 am
urgent humanitarian aid. according to a report compile by un agencies, a combination of coven armed conflict, and then they can, all the crisis is left about 23000000 people facing severe food and security. in point 7, when people are in what i see for just one step away from starvation, there it is. not many of destitution, incredible suffering. i'm firing out of control across pushing millions and millions of people as children. it's women, families, and every corner of the country to bring up survival, the country toward potential scale. and the crisis in afghanistan and the conflict in ethiopia, they currently have the world's attention, but the urgency of those crises is overshadowed. other long running humanitarian
10:22 am
emergencies. in syria and eminence, somalia conditions remain dia and funding is scarce. diplomatic editor james base has this. the humanitarian situation in afghanistan is already a crisis. but the un fears that if, as a total economic collapse in the country, it will become a catastrophe. conditions of worse and 2 in ethiopia where the effects of conflict now spread well beyond t grey. the 2 crises now threatened to overload the whole humanitarian system. other conflicts from syria to yemen to somalia continue to cause immense suffering . these wars have not ended, but they're no longer at the center of the world's attention. and international donors seem to have forgotten them. for example, the current un humanitarian appeal for syria is funded at just 36 percent. the figure family stands at 32 percent. it's clear that not all humanitarian crises are
10:23 am
created equal, some get more attention from the media than others. but the bottom line is that they all need to be funded. those countries that can afford it need to show global solidarity. ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha. one of the biggest global humanitarian organizations is the international committee of the red cross. the t c o t y is the i, c r, c's representative at the un. we definitely have a crisis that gone for many, many years and there's a certain donor fatigue that that also poses to us some challenges. at the same time. we also come to the phone where quick a quick fix center and humanitarian bandaid solutions are not the response that needs to her or to be brought in. because it is really the capacity to tackle broader issues that we actually bring more. we live to the people in a matter of weeks at the beginning of december, the u. n. will finalize it's humanitarian appeal for 2022. last year they asked for
10:24 am
record amount $35000000000.00, and it's already clear that this time the figure will be considerably higher. james bays al jazeera, at the united nations. indigenous communities across ecuador have been protesting against the government's economic policies are demanding the prisoner reverse arise in fuel prices and are also angry rep plans to double oil and mining exploration in the amazon, teresa go report saffron called poxy. o, have ready to means wake up in the local key to indigenous language. and here in the province of quote of maxine equal order, it is what indigenous leaders are asking their people to do. oh, demos tweeters are reposing a rise in the price of fuel and increasing mining and own production. and a series of laws that they claim will hurt the countries poorest. the government
10:25 am
says the reforms are necessary to jumpstart the economy. it bully equitorial is that indeed another be ecuadorian. people are tired of the measures taken by the government, neo liberal policies. that's why we're implementing our right to resist. according to our constitution, little by little people are joining us in the town of sac. his li, also in go to foxy young members of the community, use metal spears to slash the tires of those who were seen working. not everyone supports the protesters, course truck drivers like r lopez. i frustrated, he needs the truck to make a living with a little bit of work for a private company. we have to work were employees and they start breaking our toys with others. you know, president, yet more lateral took off is 4 months ago. last week he declared a state of emergency to combat racing crime, cost by drug trafficking and to control social and rest the country so. so in the middle of an implant on the crises, labor unions and other activities groups join tuesday protests as well. the police
10:26 am
use tear gas on demonstrators in the capital quito as small clashes to place. those as like this one are happening all around the country. a government says that they won't allow indigenous groups to block the roads. they're saying that they trying to jana it instability in the country. but indigenous goofs are saying that this is the only way they have to protect the environment and to protect their way of life in another. another indigenous leader, loneliness isa, told us equality is violating the constitution in trying to double the amount of oil and mining production in the country. ave colorado in the grip of the government has declared that the carry 151 for mining and 95 for oil. it cannot be sustained and we have shown that these territories should be used for other type of economic activity. we are growing our food producing to exports. why do they want to destroy our territories by using extracting economies, getting ecuadorian. indigenous communities had historically been effected the most
10:27 am
by oil spills and destruction of the environment caused by extraction of natural resources. they see their communities end up devastated and poor. that's why they insist. they had the right to resist and fight government development plans. but they say come at their expense. but he said, well, i'll just cedar put a poxy equator. but it is the u. k. government says it will reduce the amount of sewage dumped into british rivers following an uproar and social media. last week had changed to the environment. bill was proposed in an attempt to cut water pollution. but it wasn't backed by enough politicians where we challenged reports from london. the 21st of october 2021 at an outflow pipe on the south coast of england pumps, hour after hour of untreated sewage into a picturesque harbor. just one of many similar instances that have uphold swimmers, water, sports enthusiasts,
10:28 am
fishes and environmentalists. and that last week m. p 's voted could keep on happening by rejecting amendments to the new environment bill public want to see action on this. the public is seeing a hugely profitable industry continually and systematically polluting the environment. it seems that the fines not putting them off. it seems that the current legislation and enforcement isn't deterring them for polluting to the extent they off. so they need change and this amendment is the last step in making sure the water end up being truly legally accountable for the fluids, pollution that they're putting into these blue environments. britton's largely victorian sewage system can't cope when there's too much rain in these circumstances. water companies are now to release rain, water, and sewage into rivers in the sea to stop the system backing up. last year. there were 400000 such overflows. this sewage storm over flow on the beverly brook is
10:29 am
just one example among thousands. in 2020 this spilled $141.00 times for a total of 2528 hours. that's $105.00 days worth of sewage contaminated water pouring into the stream and just a few kilometers that way. it runs into the thames and on to london to justify rejecting the environment bill amendment that would make this illegal. the government said it wasn't needed to cub sewage discharge is by water companies. it's m p. 's also said updating an antiquated sewage system overnight would cost billions, a burden that would ultimately be passed on to customers and utility bills, but on the thames river path. some opinions were harder. i don't think it's excuse me at all. i'm in this day and age when the social level of technology, we have such a primitive thing to do. i flew into the water. i mean, it was cave mine, isn't it? no,
10:30 am
i wouldn't swim to the terminal calling fishes here whenever he can. so he puts the fish back and can't quite believe that anyone would get themselves have you ever done, so would you have, oh no, no, no, it's really not for him anyway, but a lot goes with it. but they do a lot more of it this year. of the most i've ever said they have voted content 213, not content 60. on tuesday evening, the upper chamber of the british parliament, the house of lords voted to return the amendment to m. p. 's and the communists. the government has also indicated it will strengthen the environment build with its own amendments targeting sewage leaks. it means the issue will keep on causing a stink in british politics for a while to come, will reach helen's how to 0 london. ah hop on the hour run out of the were these are the headlines and we have spoken
10:31 am
