madison: but much of what arrives is unfit for purpose and is fueling and environmental catastrophe. people in power travel to gonna to uncover the dirty secret behind the wolf fashion a decay dead. white man's clothes on edge is eda ah this is al jazeera ah hello, i'm adrian finnegan. this is that he is alive from dough hob coming up in the next 60 minutes. ah, despite rising anger to new z, as president appoints a new judiciary council, which gives him the power to dismiss judges. mo breakthrough in the latest phone call between the u. s. washing presidents to manage growing hostility of the ukraine fighters world into tripoli,

to support the inter him prime minister after pushed to replace him. a protest against coded restrictions in canada as capital shows no sign of ending a similar rallies, spread around the world. uninstall los angeles is getting ready to host super bowl 56, the rams have home field advantage. heading into the championship decided against the cincinnati bengals. ah, june is he is president, has issued a decree creasing a provisional judicial body which gives him the power to dismiss judges and denies them their right to strike. they've been ongoing protests since sky is sired. does all the supreme judiciary council last week? it's one of the last institutions, independent of the presidency. so i had made several boobs to consolidate power in sacking the government and suspending parliament in july. let's go live that

a to this. it is, your bolton is sat that for us. so we have this new judicial council as a temporary body. what does that mean? well, this, so this response to creates a temporary body at she came at all fda, the international response t chi sides decree to dissolve this supreme judicial council. the, the g 7 nations have been very critical aside as the un and other human rights organizations. so this was a, this is a kind of a bit of back pedaling, because county side is very aware that he's dependent on these big nations for donors support. however, there has been a long, bitter battle between himself and the judiciary. since september, when he decided to rule by decrease, i was quite easy to assimilate, executive powers and lawmaking pass. but the judiciary had been pushing back, saying that they are an independent body. and that they wish to remain so,

and that they will not pass how to ty sides, a whims, he's been trying to bolster yet various different prosecutions against his political opponents. and they've been pushing back on what, so this move asia, it's the, the last can i am a jewel in the box whole him what's likely to be the reaction to it? well, i think also criticism from the international community. i mean already that the, the protest as a gathering that gang to march on the headquarters of the supreme dish, they shall council. the judges have been demanding a reinstatement of this council. and on friday, there was a court hearing where the judicial council had charge the dead, the ministry of interior, with a breach, a breach crawl and demanding the keys to the headquarters back. but the hasn't been a judgement, decided yet it's,

it's likely that even if the judge rules in the favor of the supreme judicial counsel, but the, the ministry of interior which is very close to chi side won't returned the keys. and to day i was speaking that we were expecting a relatively sort of calm protest. i was talking to the leaders of the movement and it, it citizens against the coo and yesterday, and asking what should we expect? and they said that there was an accord with the police to keep it calm. however, with this decree, everything has changed. so we don't know how things are going to pan out today yet for the protesters. whether it will remain calm or whether that will be old is to stop the protests. i will have to see how that plays out today. it is a many thanks indeed to elizabeth val when they're reported live from. but tunis or critics accused society of setting chin is here back on a path to authority. re a rule with a series of moves that began in july as protests over the government's pandemic.

response was thing. economy gripped the capital side, invoked emergency powers, he dismissed the prime minister and suspended parliament. in august, he extended the suspension of parliament indefinitely. the following month, he granted himself the power to rule by decreed and removed parts of the constitution. that conflicted with his actions. in december he announced plans to amend the constitution in july and hold elections by december 2022. but until then, he'll effectively have absolute power. simons, bakeman caudle is a freelance journalist whose cover tune is here for the last 70 years. he joins us now live from june. it's good to have you with us on it. what do you make of the fall of this latest to korea? from the preston? well, the continuation of the course. he started, well not even on july. the 25th glaringly upon ah, but you know, in the us the leading up to his landslide election,

he's very clear that he saw the political establishment. and judy judiciary wow. is inherently garage and he was going to do something about it. and that really did charge him with a lot of people. ready who even though he's got the warranty, is on the slide, still supporting you? so is he putting shanicea back or path to author a tarion rule or to people see that these are things that have to be done in order to restore true democracy? in question is will be debated in most of the cafes near the right now. um some people will definitely see a slide back to barely and the doctor and other people will see a necessary direction. i think a lot of that depends on your feelings towards. ready the largest party in the country and after you seem to become like a lightning rods of all sorts of lights, many of which don't actually relate to them. this is the judicial council. a lot of

people who support a president would claim that it's under the control of that party or 72, i'm sure, but i think it's exaggerated, but irrespective of that, on a lot of the debates around the present and exactly does seem to be so are you pro parliament pro and asked the tro, some of the forces that publish country back, or are you supporting the president? and it's not a helpful binary the pen protests. so we're showing some of on the screen right now, but you could hardly call them mass protests, not yet. why is that to people really care what's going on? come again in times you took up a lot of b as both for august the president and the demographic. i mean very young people now, but it just seems to be a much older one who can and probably correctly check crashing about how power is

distributed in this country. with i said, most of the young people who typically power protest some of the really large produce we've seen, i mean, driven by the use them much more interested in economic development. they want jobs, they want to know that they can feed their families and alone actually just don't want to do this incredibly dangerous migration to europe. they won't bill life here . and if you go to some of the more marginalized megahertz and talk to these people, this is what they tell you. they don't care hugely about judicial counsel. but in the past, they wouldn't see as turn a blind nights, the torture an arbitrary arrest me to doubt about during protests, they don't cash usually about a parliament that is ignored, that police, but economic development and jobs. they just want jobs. and for the most part, i think in 2nd july, they still is trying to side would deliver in the weeks following the, the absence of his eco classes be john glaringly and i think the mood

and the more the, the poor modernized neighborhood is sorry to little we're not quite at the scale of the massive, grotesque, so last year, but it seems to be chartered good to talk to simon manufactured a simon spectrum called in to this a flurry of diplomatic activity as taking place. as the u. s. warns russia could invade ukraine in the coming days of phone call between president joe biden of vladimir putin has failed to reach a breakthrough. the white house released this picture of biting on the call, saying that he repeated warnings of severe consequences if putin goes ahead with an invasion, biden told, put him that an attack would cause widespread human suffering. secretary of state entity blinkin says that it's not too late to avoid conflict. a diplomatic path to resolving this crisis. a crisis created by the unprovoked massing of russian forces

all around ukraine. that diplomatic path remains open. the way from moscow to show that it wants to pursue that path is simple. it should deescalate rather than escalate. and it should not only talk about seeking a diplomatic outcome, but actually work toward one of the kremlin has dismissed us warnings on an eminent invasions hysteria. but new satellite photos show the buildup of military equipment in belarus and russia. moscow, i'm asked more than 100000 troops near the ukrainian border over the past few months. it's also conducting military drills in that a ruse. meanwhile, the u. s. a supplied kia with more weaponry and ammunition, a cargo plane with another consignment has landed in care of as part of a $200000000.00 security package. the u. s. and the u. k. have provided anti tank missiles and launches to ukraine. in order for it to defend itself, officer is natasha. butler is live in kia forest. natasha as the diplomatic

activity continues. how or efforts they're being seen in care of well, i think most people in ukraine are looking at her. the diplomatic efforts have been made in the last a days and weeks really. and then looking at them with the same perception that most other people are and that is that they really hasn't been much progress. what we saw, or even over the last 24 hours, is the very highest level of talks between the presidents of the united states. into france with vladimir putin, the russian, a president phone calls that lasted both of them. i'm more than an hour then you had the russian foreign minister said, a gay lover of talking to the u. s. a secretary of state antony lincoln as well. but they really haven't been any breakthroughs. things don't seem to be moving forward because both sides remain deeply entrenched in their positions. we also

understand that bratia l has repeatedly said and said again, it seems putins in those phone calls that it feels that moscow's security concerns are simply being ignore or to by western powers. russia also very upset over what it season has cooled hysteria by western powers. now that a claim of hysteria is because the u. s. western power, some of them are pulling out there. a citizens from ukraine, effectively saying it is not safe to be here because they accused moscow wanting to attack ukraine. moscow continues to deny that that is their end game. so it seems that in some ways, a, you know, much of this is going around in circles, not really moving forward, but at the same time, there's this a growing frustration, of course, on the side of some western powers. we saw that in the phone call between the french president and the russian president. it's very clear that mike crow,

i said to russia to vladimir putin look if you want to take the path of diplomacy. so we can talk about some of the security concerns. we need to see some signs of de escalation and those signs are just not coming through. we still have a tens of thousands over russian troops, military troops, hardware own pretty much 3 sides of ukraine, military exercises, ongoing north of ukraine in belarus. the only hope is perhaps is that diplomacy, as long as it is ongoing, while at least some people said say that look and he says diplomacy. that means there is no fighting. on monday we will see the german chancellor here in ukrainian capital. he will be meeting with the ukrainian president vladimir as lensky. he will then be traveling to moscow on tuesday to meet the russian president. it's clear, the western pow sony all very much hoping to continue with that dialogue in moscow

. what will happen next? so of course, nobody knows how to serious latasha buffer light and key of latasha. many foreigners us off of the organisation of security and cooperation in europe have begun to withdraw from finance in eastern ukraine. several countries are shutting the embassies and are also urging the citizens to leave ukraine straight away, the latest to do so astray via the situation as you are all hearing as well, is deteriorating and is reaching a very dangerous stage. and i want to st. a very clear message on behalf of the stranger, a liberal democracy who believes in freedom and the sovereignty of states, not just in europe, but in our own region as well. that the autocratic unilateral actions of russia to be threatening and bullying you tried is something that is completely and utterly unacceptable. we. we heard earlier from the us secretary of state talking

about ukraine. anthony lincoln made those remarks while discussing another global hotspot, the korean peninsula. he's been hosting foreign ministers from japan and south korea in hawaii. they talked about how to proceed with north korea. after its latest missile test. we have a lot to cover and we are very concerned about the current situation multiple, you initially particular and i hope you can also have a good exchange of views on how to deal with the situation. i'll just hear what the fried is. monitoring developments for sol. these tests have certainly raised the stakes here in asia pacific and i think it's been important for me and to be lincoln's point of view. and also from his counterparts from south korea and japan, really to put on a united front in their joint statements. and also in that joint news conference that they have delivered in hawaii with all of the participants condemning what

they called provocative actions by north korea. also hinting at the possibility that can juggle in the north korean leader has possibly said that he might end the more a tory among nuclear testing. and also the launch of longer range intercontinental ballistic missiles, which would certainly really step up with that would certainly be an increase provocation and blink. and also accepted the fact that, that the north koreans could use the current crisis in ukraine and exploit that to launch more missiles, but did not seem phased by that saying he and the allies here in asia pacific already to meet that challenge. as far as the americans are concerned, he said that we walk and chew gum at the same time. interestingly, he also made a direct comparison between north korea and what russia is doing at the moment, saying they are of a piece saying these are actions ro, actions that challenge the international rules based order. and that the allies

should stand up against such actions. but here in the asia pacific and in europe, that they should combine, stand up on behalf of their citizens and citizens worldwide saying it's a traditional role that the u. s. is taking, taken in rallying such opposition to these actions, accepting and that the us now faces multiple challenges at the same time. still to come here on these are ukraine accused of arming, white wing paramilitary groups to help in the event of the russian invasion. just how strong all they as afghanistan humanitarian crisis deepens the taliban demands access to billions of dollars frozen in the us. that in sport shall see a celebrating that 1st have a club, won't cut title andy, here with that of the rest of the day school, little lisa. ah,

and he said that he received enough recommendations from its members for him to move forward a sort of like a nod of approval from the high council of state. does this mean that that he will come into power? what we're gonna have to wait and see, but still needs to form a government. he's going to give that list to the parliament. if they give him a vote of confidence. i mean, really it's, it's, it's on a political level, it's going to be a done deal for me today, but he's going to be forced to hand over power on a political level. what he's trying to do, what the baby is now trying to do is trying to change the general view, the, the, just the view among people. here. he's saying that he's going to announce a roadmap for elections to happen in june. and this comes after elections were postponed in december. we need to remember that the baby came into power in march, and he was passed with leading libya to election. and more than 2800000 libyans

register to vote, and that's more than any other election. and looked at history, so there's a huge appetite. libyans are sick and tired of these legislative houses that have remained in power for year upon year, right. they want to vote who they want, they want, they want to control them. they want to vote for who they think can leave the country towards stability. and so debate us making this move to try to, you know, try to get people on the street yesterday. he called on people across the country to take onto the streets and call for election but, but it's not going to work well. we're not really sure. or we're gonna have to wait and see the you when still recognizes a prime minister de baber. ah, and so in the next week or 2 once 30, but other oh, gives this list of ministers to the cabinet and they approve it. then you know,

it's going to spread across east some heavy snow for the alps. it is gonna turn wet and windier across the mediterranean for places like italy. but as we had to the north west, this is where we're seeing the more intense weather for britain, an island on sunday. we've got warnings out for heavy rain in whales and it's going to move across the north sea. that weather system turning into significant snow for scandinavia, so heavy snow for norway and for sweden, and it'll get heavier on monday in finland. and in estonia, as well as western parts of russia. but there's still some mild weather to be found with some sunshine coming through for places like germany and poland. that sure weather update. ah, take take the ships to democracies, activists to corporations, control of the message is crucial. oil companies have become very good at recognizing ways to phrase what they want into here. we care about the environment

surrounding ukraine on 3 sides. russia has mast, an estimated $100000.00 soldiers around the north and east of ukraine. it includes areas the put moscow within easy, striking distance of the capital give for the past 8 years. ukraine has been battling around 35000 russia back rebels who control 2 of its eastern provinces. russia has reportedly military personnel station there, though the kremlin denies this. bosco's also deployed forces in crimea, that it annexed from ukraine in 2014 russian warships blocking large areas of the black sea of the sea. as off for the naval drills, a moskos moved 30000 soldiers and heavy weapons to bel roost for the biggest have a war games between the 2 countries. richard saquina as professor of russian and european politics of university of kent and also a frontline ukraine crisis in the borderlands. he joins us now live from kent in the u. k. professor, good savvy with us. how much of his current crisis has to do with political theater

brinkman's ship, to what extent a politicians who are trying to find ways to ease the tension actually making the situation worse? yes, indeed. the ukraine crisis is a symptom of a larger crisis, which is as far as moscow's concerned, the failure of the breakdown of european security order, which it was not happy about for many, many years. yelton wasn't happy with it. fair. and putin as constantly said, look, we really need to have a system in which we not simply face turbine, enlarging nato to our orders in august night or the whole at military escalation on all sides. and so this ukrainian issue is as it were, the hard to be the edge you at the end of the spare, at which shows that larger issues. politicians, a warning that the situation is dangerous people, foreign nationals are being evacuated out of ukraine. to what extent is that though,

because that could be a political misstep, a miscalculation by either side, not just a ministry. absolutely. so what that does is the sofa escalate set on the one for the wolf fever, which even the ukrainian side is trying to damp down the idea russian invasion. of course, nothing can be excluded is extremely unlikely because what do i should do with trying to occupy country before the 1000000 people who would put up stiff resistance? it would mean damaging us. not just, we're talking about sanctions from hell being imposed on it, but also massive internal divisions. so clearly the larger framework is this. how to deal with european security issues. and clearly it's dangerous, as you say, both militarily and diplomatically. the escalating language of hostility is going

to poison relation for years to come wash as long it has no intention of inviting ukraine. what happens if, after all this, russian forces finish with the military exercises go quietly back to barracks, who lose his face? here? i don't think it's a question of losing face clearly. gosh, i could just say, look, we were maneuvering on our own territory and of course exercises with us on the as a union state. and you know, we finished those and we're going but my feeling is that we actually will keep these forces and keep this out for many, many months. and so the west will get exhausted and my oh to my play the game as if, as i argue, the game is ultimately all about diplomacy and trying to get issues onto the agenda, which should have been on the agenda for most concerned many years earlier. so they can keep this up free for months and then they can just just go back home and say no exercise is completed, no face lost. there's no mood and appetite for war within russia. somewhat heads of

coast are talking about this, but they'll go home. no price last and it's a west which will have a lot of egg on his face as it were for having talked about an imminent invasion, even during the aging olympics. which by any standard is extremely unlikely. it's really good to talk to you professor money. thanks indeed for being with a switch, it's awkward and can't. well, the ukrainian government is often accused of turning a blind eye. it was described as neo nazi paramilitary groups, fighting russia back separatists. many say that such groups have been an effective fighting force in the near h. e. a conflict and east and ukraine shall stratford reports out from car kids. loved these men training on a football pitch in easton, ukraine say they want to defend their country from russian aggression. cry core has its origin in german nationalists, groups of the 18th and 19th century and the leaders of the group say it has
