8:16 pm
minister says at least 99 people have been killed. and many others severely burned after a fuel tank. a explosion in the capitol free town to the us now where president joe biden says he's one trillion dollar infrastructure bill passed on friday is a once in a generation investment that will create millions of jobs. it had been repeatedly delayed because of differences among democratic party members. another vote on a social welfare bill will be held later this month. yesterday, i don't think is the exaggeration. i suggest. so we took a monumental step for an estimation. we learned that our economy created 5600000 jobs since we took office in january 20th, recent unemployed rate of 4.6 percent. 2 full years earlier than the vast majority economist projected that would happen. and we're just,
8:17 pm
we're just getting started. we did something odd that's long overdue. that long has been talked about awarded, but never actually been done. and patty calhane has more from washington de say, country has had massive infrastructure bills, but not for decades after tech gates. this is something he is correct in that you've seen repeated members of congress come up at year after year and say, the nation's infrastructure is quite frankly, an embarrassment over yet. we've had high profile scenes of bridges simply collapsing with cars on them. it the nation consistently ranks of pretty low when it comes to just the engineering abilities of the roads and infrastructure. so this is on, there was a bit of high drama throughout all of friday, going back and forth wrangling on can the how side to see if they could get the votes. and they did pass it very, very late in the evening. so you saw the president come out this morning to claim victory because this is what he's campaigned on. this is part of the build back
8:18 pm
better that he said he was going to do coming out of the pandemic. and again, this is something the congress tried in the past, but consistently failed. so what's in it? $1.00 trillion dollars, 110000000000 dollars for roads. a 66000000000 for royal high speed rail. unlike most of the developed world that actually has high speed trains, the u. s. really has very limited high speed trains and they don't go nearly as fast as what you see in asia or in europe. $55000000000.00 to clean up the water supply. community after community across the country or finding lead in their water supply. me and my military may have committed crimes against humanity. vance. these men to the un body investigating the actions of the military since it saves power and accrue in february and it's told al jazeera is my hand. there is evidence of the systematic attacks on civilians. what we've seen more recently is an increase in violence by the opposition, the call for civil war and small groups for me. and frankly,
8:19 pm
this obviously increases the violence and complicates our work. there's issues about what violence is lawful on both sides. and the situation simply gets more complicated and day by day. now the mechanisms role is to collect co, late, preserve the evidence. you have no pounds a prosecution. how important is it to retain this evidence and collected over a period of time? evidence will degrade over time. memories will fade witnesses, will die. graves will be, the bodies will degrade over time. so it's important that while the crumbs are fresh, the evidence is preserved. but also, i think, aside from whether any court ever handles the material, it's very important for it to be preserved. it's important for victims to know someone who cares about what happened to me and someone is, is collecting this. they believe me, they want to know what happened,
8:20 pm
and it's very important that potential perpetrators know if you commit this act, someone is collecting evidence and hopefully that will act as some type of deterrent to further horrendous violence. you'll mechanism started to her 2018 the year after the events of 2017. you mention what the us has described as essentially genocide. is there a process in which having acted with virtual impunity at that stage, the military is enable to continue to up its game so to speak, resulting in the coo in february, you know, mike, after the coo and after the uptick and violence against peaceful demonstrators and me and more, we received a daily wish of communications from people largely in me and mar, wanting to share evidence with us. and also asking us, please, we need accountability, please. we need to hold people to account, bring us justice. how important is your collation of evidence in terms of bringing
8:21 pm
this to a halt, stopping the cycle. i think it's critical. we want to be the central repository, collecting all relevant evidence. because some day this may be used, we're going to collect it. we're going to analyze it and we'll prepare files that will facilitate prosecutions in national or international courts. heavy rain has caused flooding and land fides in bosnia. the severe weather has also prompted evacuations and lead to power outages across most of the capital jamal al, shy our reports from sorry eva. torrential, rain and severe weather has caused widespread flooding across several parts of bosnia herzegovina, burying cars, houses, and damaging roads and facilities. the country is no stranger to floods and lance lights, but people see the sheer amount of rain that's fallen in the past. 48 hours has been unexpected. noise have was a short all of a sudden the rain started falling,
8:22 pm
and within 10 minutes cars were covered by water. and all of this, the breeze came in in the towns of con, it's on the south of the capital. sorry val. heavy machinery was brought in to clear the streets, but many roads will still need to be repaired before they can be used again. emergency services have been deployed across this municipality, as well as other areas of the country. it's not a log on systems, people and machines are working hard to repair the damage. this is only one of the many effected locations along the red river, a popular tourist location, restaurants and businesses have also been hit hard. despite having a robust drainage system built to weather storms, the amount of water proved too much. the entire drainage system has been plugged up . we cannot clean it fast enough. what can you do? thankfully no one was hurt and thank god it's only material damage that can hopefully be repaired. the local mayor who was on site monitoring the situation told al jazeera that by friday afternoon,
8:23 pm
some 60 truckloads of debris had been removed, but several towns in the area remained cut off with roads leading in and out of them unusable from the amount of rain that fallen in the last 36 hours equals the amount the usually falls during an entire month. many businesses of homes have been damaged, but it's too early to assess the full extent. on a national level, the government has stopped short of announcing a state of emergency, but sees the situation is serious. people here are taking it upon themselves to fortify their homes, stacking some bags and other objects to friend off against the floods. was the most severe damage caused by the floods has been outside of sorry, a vote here in the capital. the rainfall has been consistent, raising the river of olsen as a result, fears that unless the weather improves parts of this is true, could be flooded. dramatic, i'll show you and i'll just 0. sorry. the u. s. embassy in ethiopia,
