a month, protesters in that state have been protesting against apiece apiece, deal that was signed in this house. capital job in october last year saying that it was not representative. so as a result of that shut down the all tech that was facing challenges, the minutes of energy, of the dissolved transitional government. them and the government that was installed by the military on monday, said that the fuel was up in the petroleum with of already running low. and that the ports where should open for more imports to come in. so this edition, the strike by the oil workers will likely result in fuel shortages around the country and petroleum derivative shortages. now we've seen people since monday and lining up in front of fuel station because of the panic that was setting in many people concerned about what was going to happen in the coming days. so people were rushing to fuel their tanks with petrol as much as they can, and many people think that they're trying to prepare themselves for the worst case scenario. again, they're not the only people protesting the state. all workers are part are just

a group of people and on top of a long list of people, the railway union, the really workers union and i was that they will be joining the strikes the forces of freedom and change. coalition have called them people both as state and federal level to join the civil disobedience to show the military that they don't want the army leading them. and they want the, as the building, the transitional government reinstated once again onto the news and madagascar, the southern region is experiencing its worse drop in decades, pushing more than a 1000000 people to the brink of famine, for consecutive drops, of wiped out harvests with reports of people dying of hunger and there are calls for rich nations to do more to combat the climate crisis there. or the support from younger group to sudden madagascar is facing its wa strout it 40 years. the level of hunger here is so severe the un wants it could. so lead to the world's 1st famine,

caused by climate change. the situation in the grand suit of madagascar is absolutely dire. right now. we are entering the next lean season, which began in october. we have 1300000 people who has severely food insecure. that means they do not know where the food that they need each day to survive is going to come from. of those 28000 people are facing catastrophic food insecurity, which is to say, famine like conditions. the tropical island country in the indian ocean that's used to cycles heavy rainfall and drought has seen an alarming decline and rainfall in recent years. affecting small farmers and cattle heard us. people have southern madagascar have seen their incomes decline even more. water is scarce. fields have dried up, crops have died and there is little food. some are eating locus cactus and even mud just to survive. some of those years of drought seems to be related to the el

nino system in the pacific. ah, 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 just south of madagascar, madagascar is extremely vulnerable to climate change. even though it's carbon emissions are some of the lowest offers. oh, what is happening to them? why not less? that government is faulty, responsible because that country as con, halted deacons of neglect the political establishment. but the people are sold a bit of bio nations committed by the international community that has failed to take the necessary measures. took up any shots and pledges of the world leading polluters. not nearly enough to do use the effects of a warming planet. it's devastating impact is already being felt by those who can do

the top stories on al jazeera and workers from sedans, that state owned oil company of joined a growing civil disobedience movement against monday's cou. a coalition of unions has been calling for strike since the military seized power at a gasket. southern region is experiencing its worse drought and 40 years pushing more than a 1000000 people to the brink of famine. this is from an amazon national abroad, which has 4 consecutive droughts, have wiped out harvests and claimed lives. and in iraq, at least 11 people been killed by i some attack as indiana province using hand grenades and machine guns during their assault on the village of al kaleisha. hong kong has passed a toughened film censorship law that bans movies running contrary to the interests of a beijing drafted national security law. theater operators who challenge it will be fined up to a $175000.00 and can be sent to jail pro democracy act of

a c. hong kong, new cinema ban is an extension of beijing's crackdown on freedom of expression and assembly. not yet known how this law would apply to streaming services like netflix or amazon prime. we'll talk to keith richberg about those director of journalism and media studies at the university of hong kong. kate, that, i mean we've touched, talk to about so many of these mounting issues. this one is interesting though, because little, you know, it's, it's gonna come down to interpretation what the government thinks. and it might just say, well, we'll just end up canceling a whole lot of stuff. what that's exactly right. the problem with all of these laws, when they're trying to bring various laws like the existing censorship law into line with the national security law, is that then it goes into the hands of bureaucrats, number one, and the bureaucrats who have to interpret this or by definition going to be far more cautious than they are open minded. and so anything they could decide will violate national security. and if there is any doubt,

they'll probably err on the side of saying, well let sensor this. i'm not gonna let this build there on my watch. and if you look at mainland is the only example we have right now, the best example we have right now. kong, you know, they band of a film about winnie the pooh. because there was concerned that winnie the pooh might be a mock, their caricature of president, she didn't think so. you know, is it what would happen if the winnie the pooh film came to hong kong under these new rules? it's not an answer i expected to hear to be talking about winnie the pooh films, but i mean that as he said, the incredible reach of what's going on here. i mentioned that there's not any clarity on streaming services, but you would suspect that they would come on to some sort of attention at some point. wouldn't they exactly what came up today in the legislative council? on the some members of the legislative council, we're actually telling the government a we have to apply this to the streaming services, amazon, netflix, etc,

but government to its credit here, the commerce official who was in charge here basically said yeah we, we, we know that, but that's going to be a lot more complicated because it involves technologies. it involves other things. and so let's not go there yet. but basically the government, now they've got the law that they need for censorship. and now they have to implement it regulation. and we have to see now when they implemented the regulation, they're going to continue to take this cautious approach. the problem with that again, is you're going to have some voices there in the legislative council, some of the pro china voices are going to say, why are you not applying it to amazon? why are you not applying it to netflix? why is there a minimum about joshua still available on one of the streaming sites? so again, i mean, the pressure will be mounting from the outside because people are, and everybody's kind of bending over backwards not approve a loyal, they are into the national security. hong kong had, i think i can say past tense a really strong cinemark and film industry which was already sort of in decline.

wasn't it? this kind of this, this kind of law could, could, could like so many other parts of ongoing society put a final nail in the coffin. it good. you know, a lot of the, you know, a lot of the hong kong film industry was already in decline because of so much of the money is over the border. and so films are being shot over the border and films are being made in mandarin. sort of cantonese because that's a larger audience. of course, you know the mainland, the taiwan if it's made in mandarin as opposed to cantonese, the local language, they speak english. so yeah, that's good. yeah, it definitely will mean that independent filmmakers who have made many kind of films that were shown here are house type films, films, about of the protest movement films about the 2014 umbrella movement here. i mean, those will have difficult times being made here in hong kong and certainly will not be able to be shown here in hong kong anymore. but don't forget, the other thing you have to think about now is a lot of films we're here from hollywood. worse, so censoring,

and that's the other problem you're going to have, you will now designing film released in china and hong kong. now maybe i'd better take out this reference or that reference or another reference. so, you know, you're going to start seeing, you know, china is a big market on cons, a smaller market, but it's still, you know, it's a major film going up population year. and if you're a hollywood filmmaker, you know, you probably would rather just scratch a few lines or a scratch, a few references out of a film you're going to make. so i think self. censorship is going to be a huge problem going forward. keith richberg, always a pleasure to talk to you. i suspect it wouldn't be the last time on such issue. thank you. thank you. there with government says again trying to expedite the we can expand the julian, athens from the u. k. processed as denouncing the extradition or outside the high course in london, where the 2 day hearing is being held was a lower court, which previously ruled us on not to be sent to the us on mental health grounds. if it is 18 challenges there, related to the publication of secret military documents more from not in bob or

outside the court in london. whoa, the u. s. government lawyers present here at the court in london really wants to convince the high court here that there are factors which wouldn't take it into consideration when that judge the district court judge ruled against extradition earlier this year. of course, the grounds for that decision were mental health. the lawyers will point to factors which they say any judges. and there are 3 judges here, including england's highest judge. i'm looking at the case should consider including the fact that julian, a sons has had 2 children with his partner, stella, morris. huh. which they think could actually mitigate, reduce the likelihood of him taking his own life if he were to be extradited to the us. his partner was outside the court here,

she reiterated to her message, which is one that has been picked up by groups like amnesty international and reporters without borders. but this is a politically motivated trial. i'm it, it sends a worrying message for journalistic activity around the world. a reminder that assange is accused of helping. chelsea mudding a former military analyst to steal a diplomatic cables and documents which were then published by wiki, lays the so called one country, one law campaign promise. spy, sri lankan president, got to buy a raj puck saying his 2019 election campaign is now becoming reality. it's aim is to end discrimination in an ethnically and religiously fractured nation. but a government of the buddhist majority country has appointed a presidential task force, chaired by a controversial monk who's been accused of inciting anti muslim violence. michelle

fernandez explains all of that from colombo. to be quite frank, the people are still waiting to hear more details because while we've heard about the appointment of this presidential task force or the actual sort of task it is supposed to achieve is still a little bit ambiguous. we had a, essentially the gathered to which was promulgated by the president under the presidential directive, you know, listing out the 30 names of those who will make up this task force. essentially the sort of job entrusted to them is to come up with a draft. so that gives a sort of credence and detail to the whole concept of one country. one law. now in terms of the president got albert roger poxy his election of promises. and his campaign, he talked about bringing everybody a sort of under one law and for the minorities of this country. that was what the

rallying cry was. obviously it's a real, a sort of a rainbow fabric here. interlock gate has been for decades for centuries. and what the minority parties had said is that every single community should be equal under the law. but there are some questions for this guys that, that we have seen as to what the sort of intentions of the government is. and one of the reasons for that is the chairman of this presidential task force is a buddhist monk, or who has quite a colorful history, the venerable gallagher down there now no sort of pharaoh. and here's what we heard from one of the minority parties regarding this appointment. notorious monk has been appointed as the chairperson of this task force, which is extremely boring because his monk has been instigating violence against minorities in the country in the past. and was in the forefront of some of these terror. i mean, racist attacks that happened around the country in the past. and the last few weeks

he has come on stage media and has been talking about a new set of facts that may happen in silica, which is extremely boring, because a person who has been delegated executive power. this looks as if the president got arbitrage epoxy has delegated his executive powers on to this notorious monks who it's very boring as a, as, as a civilian in shalaka as to what could happen in the future. and that is the sort of prime concern for minorities. what exactly this task force is going to be doing now? the 1st thing in what with here about that draft, they will put together a draft look and review existing laws that lead to this concept of one country, one law. but how exactly is this going to be executed because for the minorities, what they want is everyone to be considered equal? the question is whether the government of go tober roger boxer, a wit, the chairmanship of a d, a venerable gallagher out there, janice,

out of terror is going to do that. under the u. k. government says it will reduce the amount of sewage dumped into british rivers following up for on social media loss rate. a change to the environment bill was proposed in an attempt to cut water pollution, but it wasn't backed by not politicians where we challenge reports from london. the 21st of october 2021 and 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, fishes and environmentalists. and that last week, m p 's voted, could keep on happening by rejecting an amendments to the new environment. bill, public want to see actually this, the public is seeing a hugely profitable industry continually in systematically polluting the environment. it seems that the fines not putting them off, it seems that the current legislation in bozeman 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 in the be a truly legally accountable for the fluids, pollution that they're putting into these blue environment. britton's largely victorian sewage system can't cope when there's too much rain. in these circumstances, water companies are allowed to release rain water and sewage into rivers in the sea to stop the system backing up. last year, there were $400000.00 such overflows. this sewage storm overflow on the baffling brook is 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 through 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 means were harder. i don't think it's excusable at all. i'm in this day and age when the sort of level of technology we have. i mean it's, it's such a primitive thing to do. sure. yeah, i feel it into the water. i mean, it's, it's of case mine, isn't it really? and no, i wouldn't swim to the times. colon fishes here whenever he can. though he puts the fish back and can't quite believe that any one would getting themselves. have you ever gone swimming? would you have to load all the notes were enough, but the cost remains the white glove? i would guess. but they do the opposite. but laura moore, this year the most i've ever seen. they have voted contents 213. not contents

60. on tuesday evening, the upper chamber of the british parliament, the house of lords voted to return the amendment to m. p. 's in the common center. the government has also indicated equal strength of the environment bill 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, we'll re challenge al jazeera london ah. on al jazeera, at half past the hour, these are the headlines. the african union says it's suspended sedans, activities until a civilian that government is restored. we're also workers from sedans, estate owned oil company of joinder, growing civil disobedience movement against monday's cou. coalition of unions has been calling for strikes since the military c.
