this dream takes to fight the climate justice to our digital community and up front . it's hard, demanding environmental accountability that lead me to emergency a season of special coverage on al jazeera. i've been covering all of latin america for most of my career, but no country is alike and it's my job to shed light on how and why one of haiti's most powerful gang leaders lays out his conditions for easing the fuel crisis. gripping the car being national. ah, i'm come all santa maria here and go home with the world news from al jazeera, state oil company workers site. i will join the campaign of civil disobedience

against sedans, military coup. also, brazilian senate has recommend criminal charges against president jive olson, arrow for his handling of the corona virus pandemic, and more than a 1000000 people on the brink of famine as madagascar experiences with straus in decades. ah. so al jazeera, spoken exclusively to one of haiti's, most powerful gang leaders, armed groups like the one run by jimmy shalysea control, large parts of the country violently enforcing their authority. and they are also causing a severe fuel shortage. so as you told rob reynolds what it will take to end the blockade, i'd have to fit your what his name is, jimmy shell say we're commonly known by his childhood nickname or barbecue once a haitian police officer. he is now the leader of

a powerful confederation of gangs called g 9, which controls much of puerto prince in its suburbs. with an automatic rifle strapped to his chest shells a took us through the garbage strewn alley ways of la celine, a sprawling slum. he urged us to show the world the desperate poverty in which millions of haitians live out their lives without basic sanitation, healthcare education, or hopes for a better future. although he is the feared leader of a violent criminal gang, cheryl z a appears to be trying to reinvent himself as a leader, a man of the people knew battling a corrupt system. and the current government led by prime minister arial henri, who shares a condemned. no ma'am, got mabel pussy also see that we are fighting for another society with another haiti. that is not only for the 5 percent of the people who keep older, well figured, but a new hater where everyone can have food,

clean water. so they can have a decent house to live in. we'll have another haiti where we don't have to leave the country. we could have a cheryl's, a also stands accused of masterminding, numerous assassinations and massacres, including one in 2018 that killed up to 25 people. he denies all the allegations you buy gun bombs, young. i'm not a gangster. i never booby a gangster is the system i'm fighting against today. the system has a lot of money. they own the media. now they try to maybe look like a gangster wasn't enough. you shall z a condemned the kidnapping of 17 us and canadian missionaries who are being held for ransom by a rival gang. look, gordon it took, zach could not be we condemn oh, kidnappings that happen in this country. that the special one is the missionary set me soon. there americans, when we talk about missionaries and they came to this country to help us today, we cannot support any gangs who could left people, you know, fussy, a severe fuel shortage as practically shut down haiti's capital,

the result of gangs hijacking fuel trucks and blockading depos shells a says he can get the petrol flowing again, but says haiti's prime minister must go debbie if ariel on re resigns at 8 o'clock and at 8 o 5, remove all the barricades so that the trucks can come to the fuel depot and fill up and then the crisis will stop. cheryl's a says he wants to tear up haiti's political and oligarchic system by its roots. his system sack the system is criminal, the revolution we're preaching to day. we cannot do this without guns because we have our own guns. this gun is a symbol of our revolution, the revolution against the 5 percent of those who hold all the wealth of our nation . as he walked the streets of la celine barbecue was greeted warmly by many. does this gang leader have ambitions to one day rule haiti? he certainly talks like a politician. comparing himself to one of haiti's most revered leaders in its

struggle for independence from france in the 18th century. hey, this is cynthia jones. jak de salon was a great man, the father of the nation who fought hard to free haiti. today i am doing the same fighting at the salon. did i am following his dream? the dream of de salaam was to see the wealth of his country. we shed equally li, battiata outlaw would be revolutionary leader of men in arms. the man they call barbecue is one of the most powerful and enigmatic figures in haiti to day rob reynolds al jazeera for the prince. onto the news and sedans, state oil company workers have joined a growing civil disobedience movement against mondays. military cou, a coalition of unions has been calling for stripes to protest. the military's power grab general bill santoro bahama says detaining civilian leaders though was necessary to avoid a civil war. the prime minister bela handbook has been allowed to return to his own

residence, but he is under type security. the latest with have a morgan now in him before we talk about the oil work, is hipaa hearing about how to possibly had him airport. i'm sorry, possibly reopening yes indeed. now we spoke to the head of the civil of the evasion authorities. and he said that they want to redeem operations at the airport by about 14 g, which is about 4 pm local time. but then there's questions about how much staff or how many people will be able to come to the airport because there's the issue of the civil disobedience that has been called for by the forces of freedom and change coalition. and by the, by the sudanese professionals association protest folks who are angry about the monday military who are still putting out road blocks and barricades in neighborhoods. preventing people from going to work, making sure that the military and security forces not enter neighborhoods. they say that's part of their mobilization for civil disobedience and for mass protests to

condemn the military takeover on monday and to show the military officers that they don't want them to be ruled. they don't want to be ruled by the army would crowd by civilian the transitional government. they've been calling for the release of other political figures that have been arrested, such as the members of the sovereignty council and members of the executive cabinet . and despite the fact that prime minister of the lamb took has been released, people have still been protesting. more barricades have been and people say that they will continue to avoid that demand for we sensitivity. let transitional government now have the prospect of oil workers joining the civil disobedience. take us through that. i mean, oil industry massively important to see that yes, it is a very big interest if it is oh, it was already facing challenges like forget that for more than a month now, the main ports of sudan in the state has been blocked by a protest. those who were demonstrating against a part of a peace agreement that was signed into by last year between the transition and

government and various groups. now because of that closure of the main point, importing oil and filter. but it was very hard for the transitional government, even before the military take over the minister of oil. and as you were saying, back to dan was facing very low petroleum reserves and that they needs to be imports coming in. but they could not do that because of the closure of the port. so when you have the state of state oil workers, basically we have the state oil workers joining the strike, joining the civil disobedience that has been called for by the force of freedom and chase coalition and by the food, nice professional association that is likely to see that that is likely to result in fuel shortages. now, we had already seen people by making lighting up in front of federal stations trying to fill their cars as much as they can because they were concerned about what will be coming in the coming days. and we're trying to basically prepare for any possible scenario. so this is likely to cause more alarm and more panic among the people who are saying that they don't know what's coming in,

what's going to happen in the coming days. but they're going to try to join the civil of civil disobedience that has been called for by protested by, by processes and by the food in these professionals association and processes. they will set up more. barry keith, mobilize people for mass protest. that is him morgan with the latest on the situation in sudan. thank you. have a i, brazilian senate committee has recommended president john paulson, our efforts, criminal proceedings for the way he handled the pandemic. it calls on prosecutors to put boston are on trial for charges ranging run up to crimes against humanity, centers to say, many of the countries, $600000.00 karone of ours deaths could have been avoided. the committee also wants to president to be banned from social media for falsely making coven 19 vaccines to h. i. v. monica in our care for his monitoring developments from neighboring argentina. this damning report was approved ah, a sent and they will be sending it now to the attorney general. and the attorney

general, who was appointed by president abel sonata and may be biased towards him, has 30 days to give a response. he has to say whether he accepts the charges or not. there 9 charges in total. the most serious of them is long for the present being accused of crimes against humanity. now this specific charge of crimes against humanity. the senators will also take to the international court in the hague. so they are also, if in case the, the attorney general does not address that the charges that they, that this committee has recommended. they are thinking also of going directly to 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 for president jade was when out of 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. the leader of a christian political party called the lebanese forces, has been asked to testify on the recent violence in a capital bay route. sammy a judge as, as he will not appear at the defense ministry though until the leader of has villa hassan. the stroller is also summoned. 7 share muslims were killed and fighting early this month, sparked by protests against at the judge, tonic baton who is the lead investigator into last year's blast at the bay root port. christian residents have also blocked a road in mata north of errors in support of some years. josh, i will get the latest on that. what st hota? yes. the decision by the army intelligence to summon the head of the lebanese

forces, severe charge for questioning over the deadly clashes earlier this month in booth is really causing a lot of anger. the supporters of the lebanese forces are here outside my door, but this is where some air charge has residence. is they are saying they're here to protect him. they're not going to allow what they call an unjust system to question him, josh, i was supposed to appear at the army intelligence headquarters at 6 g m t. this morning. he did not show up. he has, has refused to show up, saying that he will not be the only one to be questioned. he believes that the other party involved in the cautious the she has bella movement to their liter hudson. the stella should be questioned again. and now, josh, how's the lawyers are also filing a case saying that the military judges decision to summon him is illegal because when the army passed the case transferred, the filed to the military court, there was no reason for the army intelligence to get involved. and it's not just

that there's a lot of concern that he's a politician. he is a civilian. why is the case being decided by the military? in fact, human rights groups have criticized the military courts in lebanon as being politicized . they say that judges are not independent because they answer to the defense ministry. so people here feel that their leader is being targeted politically that the, the judge is going after him a singling him out because this is a party that is the most staunchest and vocal opponent of has beloved and has paula and its allies now control the, the the political order in lebanon, so those classes really were a dangerous escalation. now the investigation further creating a divide. polarizing this society, say dakota, with that live report from up north of beverage. thank you. dana. in the news, a heads were looking at why indigenous communities in ecuador been out blocking

major roads. now, some of the world's long running humanitarian emergencies are getting overlooked by the more pressing crises of recent months. ah, look forward to brighter skies the winter sponsored my cattle airways. however, we have seen flooding in 2 parts of southern italy and i'm afraid that wet weather does let set to continue to see this little clutches, storm shifts around the central parts of the mediterranean. all associated with this area of low pressure, which does lightly to intensify further as we go on through the next few days, is seen in a sicily where we have seen around $500.00 millimeters of bright in a couple of days here. and that has led to the y spread flooding, as i said, with the possibility of, of further flooding. as we go on through the next couple of days. this is what's

known as the medicaid. you can see how that circulation continues across a similar area. but for much of europe, it is actually fine and dry some pleasant autumn sunshine. i've not missed folks any possibility for many, but lottie dry and settled different story up towards the northwest redrawing in that mild air from the atlantic. some heavy burst of rain gradually making the way across southern parts of ireland into the north west of england. and we could see some flooding here as we go on through the latter part of the week that wet weather, the flooding, rice possibly extending down to parts of wiles weather, to grassy pushing across into western spain and portugal cross northern parts of africa, one or 2 showers, continuing them to northern areas of algeria. still a few shouted to nicea and staying wet for the gulf of guinea. lou, whether sponsored by katara, always in the country with an abundance of results rate was won indonesia, his friends for me, we moved full to grow and frock. 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 possible in his growth and progress in this in here now. ah ah, the top stories, this al and al jazeera has spoken exclusively to one of haiti's, most powerful gang leaders, jimmy shudder say, he says he will lift a few blockade if the prime minister resigns, the petro shortage of the latest crisis to grip haiti. sedan state oil company workers have joined

a growing civil disobedience movement against monday's military. cou, a coalition of unions has been calling for strikes, to protest the military's power grab. we're also hearing capitals, if what we'll reopen later on wednesday afternoon, shot days. a committee of brazilian senators is bound to recommend criminal proceedings against the president. for his handling of the pandemic. the attorney general now has 30 days to decide if john bilson hour should face charges, including crimes against humanity. madagascar southern region is experiencing its worst drought in 40 years, pushing more than a 1000000 people to the brink of famine. and this is, according to an amnesty international report which has 4 consecutive droughts of white ta harvest's and claimed lives the number of children with life threatening malnutrition. the result is also quadrupled. the un says madagascar as close to experiencing the world's 1st climate change driven famine. very pleased to welcome mark harden to al jazeera climate change expert at the australian national

university. he is the vice chair of the i p. c. c. the intergovernmental panel on climate change with us from camber. did i pleasure to have you with us, professor? a 1st thing i want to clear up is a web anesthesia. we have 4 consecutive drops in madagascar. what do those come down to? is it something peculiar to that part of the world, or is it quote unquote climate change? it seems to be different things happening in different is i'm in madagascar. so some of those years of drought seems to be related to the el nino system in the pacific one of those years. it seems to be related to what's happening in the eastern indian ocean. and over all of those years, there tends to be a increase in pressure systems, the atmospheric pressure to south of madagascar. now that may be an indicator of climate change because we're seeing that in other parts of the world. and that high pressure could actually restrict the rain for bearing systems associated with that

tropical summer rainfall. and that might be why we're seeing those drought. the other thing which is potentially linked to climate change is higher temperatures, which are being experienced in every way across the globe tend to dry up the air. so the difference between how much moisture the air holes this is that how it can hold increases exponentially with temperature. and that dry it means that it tends to dry up the soil and dryer dams and rivers more quickly and tends to accentuate the drought. so they could, we'll be fingerprints of climate change in what we say. it's just, it's a domino effect, isn't it? everything you've described there leads to draw that leads to crops failing. and now you know, amnesty saying it, it leads to famine. this is another layer which we have to think about. well, indeed, what we're seeing brought across the globe is reduction in agricultural productivity compared with what would have happened in the absence of climate change and average

across the globe. it's around 20 percent. and the only places where that's not happening, like canada and the old usa we, it tends to be a positive impact of climate change on agriculture, productivity. and so, so i think this is just part of a much bigger story of reduced agriculture compared with what it would have been in the absence of climate change. it feels like this example of madagascar is almost the, the, the, the, the perfect microcosm of the climate change problem a so well, it's actually not a small country. it's actually africa's largest coastline. i should point out, but a, a, a smaller country in, at, in other terms, doesn't admit the most. so, greenhouse gases and yet will probably suffer 1st and suffer the most. this is, i guess what people, if we look ahead to the cop 26 in glasgow need to be looking as a, as a, as an example right now. look,

i think you're quite right. i think we need to look at those vulnerable countries which include places like net jessica, and it's vulnerable because of a combination of social, economic, and climatic factors. and so we need to take all of those as a package and see what we can do to, to support those countries deal with these sorts of changes. and one of the problems that we see with things like drought, to some extent is drat feeds on itself. is that a drought makes things harder because there isn't the moisture to evaporate and cool down the landscape. and that because it's hotter on that tends to dry the air out and that tends to dry the landscape that more and cause more heat. and in the process, of course, it reduces agricultural productivity. and we've seen that in madagascar with people being forced to eat food stuffs that they normally wouldn't eat. and of course, that then causes disruption of different types socially. and it starts to fry the

social fabric and reduce the ability of that country to act in a way that supports all of the the inhabitants to so we can see these things going on each other. and that's what we make to take a comprehensive approach in meetings like the place go look, professor, it's a pleasure talking to you really do appreciate it. thank you for your time. mark out from cambra today. thank you. in iraq, at least 11 people have been killed by i feel attackers, indiana province, a used hand grenades and machine guns during their assault on the village of how washer and un report published early this year. estimated around 10000 i still find as do remain active across the rocket, syria, despite their self proclaimed caliphate collapsing. the sate developments as it is deeply concerned about an israeli plan to build thousands of jewish settlements in the occupied west bank. it's also concerned about the publication of tenders for

$1300.00 settlement units settlements, illegal under international international law. although israel disputes this, we strongly oppose the expansion of settlements, which is completely inconsistent with efforts to lower tensions and to ensure com and it damages the prospects for a 2 state solution. we have been consistent, as i said, and clear in our statements to this effect. we also view plans for the retro active legalization of illegal outflows as unacceptable. we continue to raise our views on that issue directly with senior israeli officials in our private discussions. the crisis in afghanistan, the conflict in ethiopia, these are the things that currently have the was attention, but the urgency of both crises has overshadowed other long running humanitarian emergencies. think of syria, gammon, somalia conditions, a still die of air and funding is scarce. more from a diplomatic editor,

james base. any 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 of 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 for molly stands at 32 percent. it's clear that not all humanitarian crises are 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. i found 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, that go on 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 point 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 are the capacity to tackle broader issues that we actually bring more. we leave 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

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 democratic republic of congo is finally sworn in a new election chief offered after a disputed nomination. dentist had him a will lead the independent national electoral commission. his parliamentary approval has been marred by claims of irregularities over his nomination in recent days. d r. c saw violent protests last year. the appointment of an electoral chief accused of vote of rigging, past votes. now indigenous communities across ecuador, and protesting against the government's economic policies. they're demanding the president reverse arise, and fuel prices. and they're angry to about plans to double oil and mining exploration in the amazon. theresa bo reports from cut to proxy. oh, had that a to means wake up in the local key to indigenous language. and here in the province
