civil war. while aaliyah's vote will lead madiba. he is the founder and president of the student policy forum. he says the civil disobedience movement is likely to only grow my son, my sister is going to be very bloody confrontation between the army. and this is people which made it to some degree just within the r, at which point the international community, especially the united states, african and the other union. they are going to look very carefully at the situation . and they will take a decision at that point. this is denise view, they would have to coordinate this. this is very well because the people are going, the government is going to start the people. this, this obedience has to be really well because it has to be done in a timely manner. because you're the c p u to find the people themselves are going

to be star. now if you look at the features a industry, you can do that. they are very weak on a lively and the strong a strong in only. but it has to be very well caught it because the people can go beyond a certain period of time. now israel has a pre of plans for about 3000 new illegal settlement units in the occupied west bank. i'll be the 1st to be built under prime minister naphtali bennett, and during president jo biden's town, the u. s. is deeply concerned about this plan saying it will have prospects for a 2 state solution. settlement are illegal and the international all the israel reject. neither abraham has worn out from nobliss in the occupied westbank. these announcements are the 1st since the u. s. president joe biden has came into office

and they're hoping that with the president, jo, by that he would be having more influence on this israeli government. now, all in all, this might be the 1st announcement since the israeli government has taken office. but it's not the 1st since the beginning of the year. we're talking about more than $780.00 units that were approved since then. but if we could impair them to the era of the us president donald trump, they're not considered much that time the plan has skyrocketed. we're talking about more than $26000.00 units approved during the trump era. and this is why policies are hoping that this new administration expressing concern this time would be helping to curb the settlement expansion. now the palestinians, i've been saying for a long time that they're relying on the international criminal court, which is prosecutor said that it's opening an investigation into alleged war crimes

in palestine. and they're hoping that the issue of supplements would top this investigation. well meanwhile, israeli forces of arrested 16 palestinians across the occupied west bank including 2 children. the raids mostly happened in the palestinian village of bare al vasta and janine video shows people's belonging strewn across the floor. as you can see then, after israeli soldiers conducted raids on several homes. while the european union's top court has ordered poland to pay a fine of more than $1000000.00 a day, it's part of a deepening dispute between the you and its members, stays about poland, judiciary. it has to do with the chamber and the polish supreme court, which they use as breaches. its laws on judicial impartiality and independence, and other recent polish court ruling challenge, the supremacy of each law in the country. while i spoke to peter clapper, he is the editor of brussels report, dot e u, and new site covering european politics. he says this fine father threatens an

already fragile relationship. the european commission took this particular concern to the top you court and luxembourg. european court of justice, which has now rules that this a specific judicial arrangement in pollens of violates your law and has imposed a fine on poland. poland is already expected to pay a fine over, i think, a whole 1000000 euro a day. for another condemnation, which is about the refusal, the polish refusal who shut down a coal mine near the new to check border. the poor as government has a few weeks ago, asked its own constitutional court whether you law is superior to national law. and the constitutional court has said that it is, but only if certain conditions are fulfilled, meaning it's not always superior. one of the conditions,

according to the polish top court, where you law is not superior, is when you would be trying to intervene into how the polish judicial system is being organized. which is actually the case now with this new fine because paula is being fined because of this disciplinary chamber that the polar governments and polish parliament half have create it. not what's next. it's hard to say you could expect. now the ball is government to say, well, sorry, we're not able to pay this fine because it or own poses constitutional court has said that this would not be in line with the polish constitution. all madagascar southern region is experiencing its worse drought in decades. pushing more than a 1000000 people to the brink of famine, for consecutive droughts have wiped out harvests with reports of people dying of

hunger. and there are cause for rich nations to do more to combat the climate crisis in madagascar. bianca gupta has more southern madagascar is facing. it's was drought it for 2 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 dia right now. we are entering the next lean season, which began in october. we have 1300000 people who are 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 allow me decline and rainfall in

recent years. affecting small farmers and cattle heard us. most 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. 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 the pressure systems. the atmospheric pressure to south of madagascar, madagascar is extremely vulnerable to climate change. even though it's carbon emissions are some of the lowest, i offer social 4, co, white, 70. why not less? the government is faulty, responsible because that country as can haunted deacons of need, less of

a political establishment. but the people that are sold of the violations committed by the, to rational community that has failed to take the necessary measures, took up any shots and with 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 little to fight it. bianca group though, i'll to 0. now in iraq, at least 11 people have been killed by isolate attack as indiana province. they used to hand grenades and machine guns during their assault on the village of al, who, washer a you and report published earlier this year. estimated that around $10000.00 iso fighters remain active across iraq and syria, despite their self proclaimed caliphate collapsing. i mean, while iraq's election commission has started manually recounting some results from this month's parliamentary election,

the re counterbalance came from about 70 disputed polling stations, pro rainy infections, and a rob witnessed losses, and that election, and have been alleging fraud. the supporters have been protesting for several days . the leader of a christian political party called the lebanese forces, has refused to testify on recent violence in bay root. so me a ga, was due to appear at the defense ministry but says he won't until the leader of hes bella hudson has. rolla is also summoned. 7 shia muslims were killed and fighting earlier this month. then a hot reports they created a human shield along the road to march up north available. that's where the head of the christian lebanese forces party samir schon lives. he was supposed to appear at the army intelligence building, to answer questions related to the fighting in the lebanese capital. earlier this month, that killed several people. georgia support to say they are protecting him from what they call an unjust system. this must have been occupation. iranian occupation

has been leverage over the court. busy over the over judges over political life should stop long time enemies the she, our groups has below and on one side and the christian. nobody's forces on the other accuse each other of starting that gun battle. the case is now in the hands of the military court, which human rights group say has been used by the authorities to intimidate and retaliate for political reasons. for me to have very grave concerns about the independence of those judges, given that they are subordinate to the executive. josh, i described the judge side, the ocoee, who summoned him as hezbollah commissioner in the military tribunal. and his lawyers are trying to remove him from the case many here worry that the lebanese for this party is being targeted because it is a vocal challenger of what the opposition calls the has will are dominated

political order. some opposition leaders also believe the case against sasha will be used to bury the investigation into last year's explosion at bay root ports. has molina to ally amal accused thought it better the lead judge in that investigation of political bias and want him removed. and it seems they won't charge a convicted fool unless they seem to be attempts to give georgia political and maybe even religious cover from the church. this is not acceptable. samir judge and all the killers should be taken to the place where they need to be. the growing confrontation between the 2 sides has raised tensions that can yet again lead to sectarian violence. it is a dangerous standoff. then there are theater, beirut, a stella head here on al jazeera, why indonesia is still using paint with dangerous amounts of labs, and 100 days out from the beijing winter olympics. we take

deadlines. south korean delivery drivers are literally being worked to death one 0 one east explorer, the dock side of consumer convenience and south korea on al jazeera. ah ah, hello, they are watching al jazeera. let's remind you about top stories here in south theory. the european union's top court has ordered poland to pay a fine of more than $1000000.00 a day. it's part of a deepening dispute between the you and its members stays over opponents, judiciary. israel has approved plans for 3000 new, illegal settlement units and the occupied westbank. they'll be the 1st to be built

under prime minister natalie bennett. settlements are illegal under international law, the israel rejects this. the african union has suspended sudan from all of the blocks activities until civilian rule is restored. and workers from sudan state own oil company have now joined a growing civil disobedience movement against monday's military. crew are right now, the un security council is holding a scheduled meeting to discuss, to don and south to don, but now just days after the coo and sudan, that's likely to dominate the session. let's bring in kristen salumi. she joins us now from the united nations. kristen, as we've been saying this was a shed your meeting, but given the lack of a statement from the security council on the crew, when they met about emergency meeting yesterday, presumably that might get discussed today. it doesn't. those seem like there's very much consensus there on the security council. this is true, an emergency meeting was held behind closed doors yesterday. no formal statement

came out of that, but we know that negotiations have been going on behind the scenes here to try to get the council to agree to some form of a statement in response to the qu. ah, the ah, in response to the coo and the discussions are ongoing in the backdrop to this meeting. we did hear from the security council president, ambassador kamani going into the meeting. and he said that this latest move by the african union should spur the council a to action. we know from comments outside of the counsel yesterday that russia was a bit reluctant to weigh in on the debate just yet. while countries like the united kingdom, which is the pen holder on sudan in the security council, we're pushing for a condemnation of the violence and the take over every one on the council says they're concerned about the violence and about demonstrations. the question is how far, and whether or not it's in the purview of the council to weigh in. russia again,

was the reluctant one on that. but russia traditionally also very keen to follow the lead of regional organizations and conflicts. so the canyon ambassador, speaking before the meeting, said that he hoped the fact that the african union has now suspended, sudan would be taken into consideration by members of the council. he said that he hopes, by the end of today, or even early to morrow to reach some sort of a consensus them. but we've yet to hear from other members of the council on that. and we'll be watching that as this meeting and the day progresses. kristen, as you say, we've had from the a you we had from the regional body eguard who've also condemned the coo and the wild bank is also suspending aid. obviously broad condemnation of, of what's taken place here. do you get the sense that anything beyond a statement might be possible from some of the member states over there, that there may be some further practical action taken?

well, the united nations is really focused on the humanitarian impact, as it often is in the situation like this. and their 1st response is to look out for the people. and while the united states has cut funding to the government of sudan, the united nations is actually looking for more funding for humanitarian efforts on the ground that would benefit the people directly and who are at risk because of the ongoing instability there. so that did, but that said, the secretary general was very quick to condemn the coo and to use the term. i'm calling for the release of prime minister hom duyka. the high commissioner for human rights as well, has been very outspoken about the situation on the ground and, and to be fair members of the security council as well have expressed deep concern, but i'm coming to a unanimous decision on how to best phrase that concern and and express it, and whether or not it should be expressed at the council level still remains open to debate as far as they're concerned. well, chris, and i believe we are now hearing from the u. n. special envoy for the horn of

africa who's speaking to this un security council session. let's listen pretty good . both in person in the company of u. s. cheat aqua income, torment abuse. and here in new york, as well as remotely we visited got torment up year from 6 to 8 september as part of consultations with the government of sudan, south sudan, and its you up yet on the future stages of the united nations into him security force. for abbey, a uni sfa. i also discussed bilateral relations between sudan and so, so then so president, while most of what i'm reporting on may sound a bit removed from the current situation in sudan, which could negatively impact. but i thought relations, i sincerely hold dad,

the recent positive trend will not be derailed. encouragingly, sudan in south sudan. i've been so far deepening the relations epitomized by several high level visit and initiatives in support of each other's piece processes . these include the start off piece talks in juba between the government of sudan and a function of, of that as is he lou, it's sudan, peoples, the british and movement. s p. m, north on 26. may the launch of south sudan permanent goes addition making process as well as efforts to help raise the in fighting between river factions of the s p l m in a position which could unravel the peace process in south so that

crucially, president, kia and prime minister hom dog reached an agreement to resume export and bought a trade. in this regard they agreed to re open border crossing points between the 2 countries. however, the launch did not materialize. having been overtaken by the 4 and 14 events in sudan. said president, the 2 countries agreed on a roadmap to review and follow up on implementing implementing all 2012 corporation agreements. we've timelines established by the ministries of foreign affairs. in the meantime, the undertook to remove all barriers to banking transactions and allow banks to establish branches in both countries. they also committed to developing a joint oil and gas strategy. at the drone 40 to cut insecurity to become is

a meeting of $8.00 to 9 september in java. though no reference was made to these in the decisions of the g p. s. m, meeting, sudan. and so sudan further agreed to enhance corporation on security and intelligence. while you've been listening that to the special envoy of the secretary general for the horn of africa, ha, fernandez and younger, he's addressing the un security council now to schedule meeting on sudan and south . you don, he's been talking a little bit about the relationship between the 2 countries as well as the un missions that, that manage, particularly the development the demilitarized are in between the 2 areas as well as ongoing piece agreements. let's bring in kristin. salumi has also been listening in kristen. we know that a dispute about the job apiece agreement was partly to do with what led to this crew last year. and i'm curious now, do you think that this could,

could actually jeopardize further moves in terms of peace talks going forward or, or create for the conflict elsewhere? well, that's certainly what the special envoy seems to be suggesting. there was progress being made. he said he was giving examples of an agreement to resume trade across the border a to work more closely on the security situation in the border region. and. and so he was giving a laundry list of progress that had been made between the 2 countries that he says now is jeopardized in that cross border trade now has not been implemented as a result of the current tense situation in the regions. so clearly good. the special envoy arguing that the current situation a puts progress in jeopardy, not only for democratic reforms within su down,

but for its relationship with south sudan. indeed, kristen, slay me there. across that meeting for us at the united nations will continue monitoring that for you here. on out 0. thanks so much for now, kristen. well, some incredible pictures have come in from the spanish island of la paloma, where a volcano continues to spew ash and molten rock. lava now covers about $9000000.00 square misses mostly farmland, but it also destroyed will of 2000 homes. thousands were forced to flee since the volcano fast erupt and in september convey her has now been erupting nonstop for over a month. while the u. s. government is trying again to extradite wiki leaks found a julian assange from the u. k. protest as denouncing the expedition outside the high court in london with the to day hearing is currently being held. a lower court previously ruled that assange not to be sent to the u. s. on mental health grounds

intelligent researches say the widespread use of lead paint creates a hidden danger in unexpected places. me my check. we have done testing in $32.00 children's playgrounds, around chicata. almost 70 percent of them had led levels above a 90 p p. m, which means they are not safe and children can get lead contamination just from playing in the playground. these volunteers are repainting equipment and playgrounds around the city with safe non toxic paints. a report by the local n g o nexus foundation found more than half of the paint brands available in indonesia sold at least one product with extremely high lead concentrations. many countries banned lead pains decades ago and implemented strict regulations, but the pains are still widely available here in indonesia and activists. a calling for stronger regulations, deteriorating lead paint is also considered
