a state of emergency was extended last week. the congolese government says its combating groups babbling for control of gold mines. malcolm webb is falling the story from nairobi, ket capital can, and kenya's capital, nairobi, sorry sundays this time, more than it was in the town. among walla, and more than 30 civilians were killed at the time. and health officials told us that since then, more people have died from their injuries in the hospital being the total who died in that attack up the $55.00. and then on monday night into tuesday morning and a separate attack just about 25 kilometers from there. and camp for displaced people around 14 or 15 people were killed. that's what we've been told by right group and conflict, conflict monitoring, group society activists in, in the area. and we've seen video of the people who were killed and not attacked the bodies of women and children. much of it too strong to show people have been

hacked to death with machetes, including children, a baby, some of whom have been beheaded, people in the community plane, an armed group called cadet co, which has been responsible for a series of atrocities in a to b province anything, congo over the last couple of years, the group planes to represent the lendue ethnic group and often target people from the hammer ethnic group. but this is the latest iteration of a conflict that's been going on for decades of farmland and other resources. could deco now control substantial gold reside reserves throughout the province across many gold mines. and it's been accused of collaborating with the army to sell it gold and to buy guns and ammunition which rights groups including amnesty international who published a report on it just today. say that this is just fueling the conflict to making the whole situation more dangerous. and we'll have more on the situation in eastern

d r. see later on in the news our we had to a philippines next. where presidential front runner for non marcos junior has promised to bridge a divide between all filipinos and unofficial tally shows the son of a controversial leader with a wide lead over his nearest rival. shorn story reports from manila. ha. protesters gather outside the election commission building to protest against what they say are voting irregularities. some people were unable to vote after at least a $1800.00 vote counting machines. malfunctioned during national elections on monday, less than 2 percent of the total number of machines. i use in the home and we are here because we have seen how sloppy the election commission to work is they had to be used to prepare for the selection, but they are competent. they took away that i thought filipinos the board for what they won. the protesters were soon pushed back by police with water cannon and swat

teams on stand by. the heavy pushback has long been the hallmark of the outgoing administration incumbent president, rodrigo deter day had little tolerance for descent or criticism. i know ferdinand marco's junior, whose late father ruled the country for 2 decades and was often described as a dictator, is on cause to win a landslide victory. and with to turn days, daughter, sorrow set to become the vice president. many are concerned, their civil liberties may shrink further. analysts say the return to power of the marcus family is the result of decades of rebranding. boosted in recent years through social media campaigns, often with misleading information. studies had shown that the mark was campaign in the market. family has usually invested in this machinery, and i think if they're going to be the next administration,

that this is going to be a lean and mean propaganda spewing machine. he says the strategy may not only help them with power, but keep it for marcos is support is gathered outside his campaign headquarters the day after the polls. those concerns were far from their minds as their candidate heads for victory with an unassailable margin. florence lee al jazeera manila and algiers. jemila islander gun in manila has more on protest that turned violent in other regions. the breaking down of more than 1800 boat counting machines, was actually not the only thing that people here were complaining about, particularly those supporting vice president. lenny red or there were also reports of violence on electoral related violence in the southern region of minda. now, just earlier today, there was a stand off between 2 warring political clans from the founding booty. and they

tried to physically take the ballads away that was under the control of the provincial government of the commission on the elections. now that has scaled down the bit, but there were at least 15 electoral violence recorded across the min than our region just yesterday up until today and according to officials, at least 6 people have already been killed. no, we are in manila, in downtown manila, just behind me is the commission on elections headquarters where for nearly all the to the there were several groups that were protesting really mostly from the leader of the opposition's campaign groups and supporters. asking commission on the election officials to come down and face them in person and answer questions over irregularities. julie during election day, if is confirmed as the next president ferdinand michaels junior, will need to balance competing foreign policy demands from both the us and china. he says he'll maintain a close relationship with the united states, but it's unclear if he can ever visit because of legal matters connected to his

father's allege financial crimes. the philippines has a military part where the u. s. joint drills in the south china sea have heightened tensions with aging. but marcos junior has promised to strengthen ties with china. his entered that he would disregard an international court ruling that rejects page in territorial claims in the south china sea. well, let's speak to alvin camber bottle. this is an assistant professor at the university of denver, as joseph caudle school of international studies, and is joining us from north carolina in the united states. thank you very much for being with us. so marcus, junior, bon, bon, marcos has promised to maintain a strong relationship with china while not completely abandoning the west. he says, how is he going to be able to do that? you think will he go in a much more balanced direction in terms of foreign policy? than to 30 well, so i expect him to follow the same ruth as needed there to administration, and we can expect him to give us some issues in the south china sea. for instance,

in, you know, some of the concessions. he probably will not complain as much, but i also expect him to maintain his relationship with the united states by um, maintaining a lot of the security agreements may be forwarding some u. s. policies in the philippines. he can definitely do both. there's not the contradictory about that, but do you think he can move the philippines and they're thinking of ordinary filipinos towards china? it's definitely possible. i'm, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's a bit difficult because a, whenever filipino see issues in the south, china sea it, that is the point against china. i the same time when we think about, i'm changing the perception of filipinos or mitzy south decisions about china. we're talking about generations here so he can definitely lay out the groundwork for miss a chinese off our to sort of expand in the philippines. it may not happen like in this generation. it may happen. you know, 10 years 20 years from now. oh, i and there's, of course, a lot of interesting in washington, and also australia as to how marcus will,

will conduct affairs beyond the philippines borders. there are questions about whether he can travel to the u. s. without being arrested because of the outstanding legal matters connected to the assets of his family. do you think washington will wanting gage with them and how much does his election me think complicate us efforts to counter china in the region? um, so the, i think the united states wrote definitely engage mark us. i mean, he's going to be the president and i don't think you can arrest like the president of another country. more importantly, the united states does need the philippines, whether we're talking about um, security agreements on keeping se, asia with within the ah, the realm of lexia america like influence. ah, it definitely will complicate matters, but i feel that they night that states can actually work with marcos. this is something that they've done throughout like history, like during the cold war, they've worked with a lot of leaders who are also complicated and had their own problems. but they noted states definitely i was able to do it so they're going to be able to move as

well. but as well with mark us. okay. i had a bit of a technical issue there. i see a hopefully a with a sale time. it's okay that the biggest issue today, and you alluded to this earlier, especially when it comes to the relationship with china is a dispute over the south china sea. and that 2016 ruling by the arbitration court in the hague rejected. of course, beijing, sarah, toil claims in the south china sea. do you think he'll disregard that? and if he does, how will that go with the, you know, filipino fishermen that have been protesting about this and he will follow the bad of that at their to administration. i think i'm in practice. he will probably disregard some parts of it. and even like in, in, in, in rhetoric as well and, and it's possible to do it like with the 3rd to administration, he disregarded it at the start and then at the end of historically he reaffirm it once again. and i can imagine mark a suit to do the same thing on the 13. a fisherman will be unhappy about that, but,

you know, let's face it so long as marcos is popular with that, see most of the filipinos just like me. the 3rd day, it really wouldn't affect his political standing and his political survival in the end. thank you so much for talking to us about this alvin campbell from, ah, the university of denver. joining us there from the u. s. thank you for your time. i think again or less return now to our top story and the situation in eastern democratic republic of congo. busy where at least 70 people, most of them women and children have been killed by armed groups with attack, their home villages any to re province that speak to reagan and the very about this . he's joining us from gama in the east and d r. c is a conflict analyst at the keyboard security track. i thank you very much for being with us. not the 1st time that there's been such attack such an attack against civilians. it to a province group known as the cooperative for the development of the congo is believed to be responsible. tell us more about this group and what they stand for

and why we're seeing these attacks increase yet. thank you for having me actually. and so the situation has been going on for a long time, but there is some, you know, grid just in this situation you the state of c, l, c h, which is going on in 20 progresses. so now the military is in charge and they are organizing military operation. adjust our group, including the vehicle, was responsible of these 2 land it incidents in it. so the main thing is to say that the court decor, i'm group, he's on, he's been may and they competence are coming from the and the lender of

community and be yeah, i get to the villages who are occupied by god in my community. but then their demands are, are vast, but still they speak about an, an issue sign done this be gover, about discriminations but mentally say it's mostly about a land issues and these problem be treated go communities, right. and that i just want to, i wanted to ask you about the, the gold mines there because the congress government has said that these different ongoing so battling for control of these gold mines. are these incidents being investigated by the government? yes, yes, it has been a dozen to professional to what happened? yes, of course. it was around a good mind for the incident of self sunday,

but it last you said it was a 9 to become which was attacked. so there is no good mind. there are and you wish we see that it's more about the lack of a lawyer and strategy to protect civilian. i mostly does one, why it becomes, what about the un mission money school? what is it doing to protect the civilians? who as you say, have been in i d p camps. yes, and that's is the big issue. more news go, camp is not very far from this. i did become but they just, they only react when there is only an hour, but they don't prevent them. you know, i should be protected by a big companies army and monitors go around, but now that mostly to, to get a motel from the i did become a, can, they didn't,

they didn't need a security which was already there. so they just reacts, but they don't prevents a civilian as the client. thank you so much for talking to us about this reagan, me, v v from the key to the security track i talking to us about the situation in nice and d, r c. the spent more head on this muse, our including zimbabwe holes, lending by banks to stabilize a plunging currency. but business leaders have a great morning underground, an organ shop where a conference of experts is working on getting the keys out of the supply chain. and later in sport, pito will harvey korea 1st for this japanese space for ah,

1st you lank as military has been ordered to shoot any one seen to be damaging public property. it follows a night of unrest where at least 7 people were killed after a nationwide curfew was ignored by many. the violence on monday prompted prime minister ma hinder roger pox to resign. protesters had called for both him and his brother, the president go to buy a roger boxer to stand down, blaming them for the country's worst economic crisis since it gained independence in 1948. we now fernandez has more from shanker capital colombo. there's been a curfew clamped down since i last evening when the tensions of flared up. and this has meant that while there are many people on the roads there, i in fact people looking around, it seems like that you see over my shoulder 3 burning buses and one behind that as well. so a total of for the likelihood of people getting into clashes and things like that,

his east completely as because you have not just the police but also members of the 3 armed forces being called out by the president. in fact, on our way into these areas, we've seen the air force, the navy and the army deployed at checkpoints, literally sort of stopping where he goes, checking, who's going around in them. and all of that. these have also kept control on the tensions plus that sort of initial flare up that confrontation between those 2 sides, the supporters of prime minister, mind the roger boxer. and the protest as who had been calling for his the president of the government resignation has now ease so things relatively come in colombo and in other parts of the country. from what we're hearing. jihan pereira is the executive director of the national peace council. shanker, he says, protesters are rejecting the political class for just to say that or 225

parliamentarians should go below one and you know, leave is very sad. but when the lead of the opposition went to the practice site after the government grew and had it has to protest, did not come up. so you see that the reduction of the political party been and that is a kevin's, that the debates talk now of bringing in someone from i would say the policy maybe retired for the fusion. we haven't seen that any day. one of the beautiful things of this, of this campaign that made people very emotional and happy that we saw our young people say no to racism. we will not be fooled again by the portfolio fusion, made up races to get our voice. and but on the other hand, i know that you can work to be done because the device is very real in the north

and east. that is not the same degree of public participation in purpose as the majority of the country who wanted for the president and his government. so, but we see that that is the hung together. everyone agreed on the economic crisis. everyone suffers because the economic practice. but when it comes to issues such as sharing interest, the probably sharing accountability law crimes, then i think they'll give you back the the war in ukraine now in the mayor of merrier poll says at least a 100 civilian men remain chopped in the steelworks besieged by russian forces, equating officials set up the weekend that all women, children, and the and elderly had been rescued, had been chopped by intense russian attacks along with hundreds of soldiers. they're refusing to surrender, saying they will fight to the end. meanwhile, at least one person has been killed and 5 injured during rush and shelling of

ukraine southern port city of odessa. the ukrainian military says, shopping center and warehouse were head or death as face for attic bombardment. the city was largely spared in the 1st phase of russia's invasion. in the past week, several towns in the south have also been bombed. i found my soul is in odessa. he says, the city has suffered a huge amount of damage. for many a hurry in our local, one person was killed an 8 others, at least were injured in a series of missile attacks had of hit the city of odessa big explosions in different locations west and east areas of odessa. what also the results of the missile attacks, the most massive explosion was here, one of the biggest malls which were almost destroyed and fire were all over the place and around a 1000 square meters and still firefighters of dealing with the fire. these missile attacks came as part of a series of similar attacks against the city of

a debtor. over the last few days, the ukrainian air defense forces managers to intercept some of these missiles. but some other missile attacks lead to huge destruction in the southern city of odessa and al jazeera, as, as i beg, has more from near the eastern ukrainian city of soviets. it follows on from what we know the russians stated aims are, they say they want to take the east and the south effectively land locking ukraine . those strikes on the desk have injured a number of civilians. now there's some debate about the tactics. the russians are using where the v off from s frightful long range missiles place, thought that they prefer to use long range missiles guided missiles as a tactic because it saves them, saves the aircraft from anti aircraft fire. and the russians would want to want to concentrate on that strategic port fee of a desa to effectively landlocked ukraine. they already have mario polo though they're still fight holding that metal looks like they have now and land bridge

from russian control territory in the east and they have mario poles and it connects to them now to crimea, which the antics in 2014 know in the east here in the governor of the has said that some serious battles taking place around the village of bill harris go with dozens died earlier after school was struck and people were sheltering bit. but the battles continue around towns and villages. here in the east, but many people have already left the populations of the cities. tons of villages have decreased because people don't want to be on the front line. at a war in ukraine continues to impact businesses across the world. one factor that is predicting a major downturn is the u. s. trucking industry. it's also been hit by the pandemic, and energy shortages or transportation experts are meeting in roger's arkansas to discuss supply chain issues. john hendern is there for us. we'll speak to him in

just a moment, but 1st his, his report truckers might occupy the unglamorous end of the global supply chain. but the shipping industry is an early bellwether of the u. s. economy. and the road ahead is looking bumpy. we believe there's a us great recession, that is just south carolina and it's going to get pretty ugly. the pandemic slowed the u. s. economy in 20202021. after workers got sick and factory shut down. that led to global shortages, short staffed cargo companies, left shipping containers behind on the dock. now the war in ukraine is sent fuel prices and the cost of shipping soaring just is demand for a broad range of consumer goods begins to for the supply chain. experts call that the bull whip effect. you have tons of inventory, and then not enough inventory, and then you overreact. and you just keep going through this vicious cycle and, and we're, we've seen that over the last couple of years,

and i think we're now headed in the other direction. experts predict a recession among shippers within months, in that could lead to a u. s. and possibly a global economic downturn in a really corner of northwest arkansas. many of those experts from trucking companies, leading universities, the pentagon and elsewhere, have gathered at a conference on the future of the supply chain in hopes of staving off the worst. the panoramic and the warning ukraine have put things in the supply chain and that is made the process of getting goods for manufacturer to consumer, more expensive and more complicated. the people at this conference are working on making that all smoother and less expensive. after 2 rough years, one major kink in the supply chain in the us has been assured give driver's transfers is a kind of labor for shippers acting as an intermediary to link trucking companies with drivers. there's a bottleneck there right now because there aren't enough drivers to fit in those seats in those trucks to get those the trucks and the goods deliver another

solution, self driving trucks like those made by torque, a subsidiary of daimler trucking. is that a really good? it's going to change sounds like you're not talking about entirely replacing human driving. absolutely. now, we're here to help companies will drive the pills, avoid and help them, like with new pandemic variance in know, in to a ukraine war. that slowed energy distribution that will likely continue to leave those drivers still. manning the wheel bracing for what comes next. and john joins us now live from rogers in arkansas, so it's been proving difficult, john to resolve the supply chain problem. some of which has started in china. tell us about what, what's been happening. it's rightfully the world of trade is now so interconnected that a kink in the supply chain in one manufacturing country can reverberate around the

world. and here's a great example. in china, there is a 0 tolerance policy, uncoated. so in the manufacturing city of shanghai, people are being locked into their homes, that whole communities are being surrounded by dates until those people can negative. you might have seen this on our air will that we're not just the people are being held hostage, which so we're the product. so those workers don't go to the manufacturers. those manufacturers don't send their parts to the court. and then manufacturing companies all around the world depends on parts that are made in china, aren't getting those. so that's a good example of how one kink in the supply chain in one country can mess up the entire global supply chain. now if the u. s. is concerned about the economy, the rest of the world should be concerned given, given this, the biggest economy in the world, shouldn't the economy to say yes. and one reason is that the shipping industry is

a bellwether for the u. s. economy. that means if it goes badly, things are going to go bad for the u. s. economy and the u. s. economy, isabel, whether for the global economy. well right now, the u. s. shipping industry is expected to take a hit of more than 20 percent of its usual business that is expected to, to reverberate throughout the economy. and if there is one culprit, it's just in time manufacturing. since the 9th june seventy's manufacturers have been using a system pioneered by toyota, where parts component parts arrive just in time. so say if ford in michigan is making cars, it'll get parts from mexico and china. and those parts arrive just in time to be put in the car, would save money by not building warehouses and by not paying workers to handle all those products. and it works really well until there's a kink in the supply chain like the pandemic. when that came along, what happened is those component parts weren't getting to forward. it wasn't getting microchips and other parts that it needed from other countries. so we had to shut down those manufacturing sites. those workers were being laid off,

not getting paid, not contributing to the economy that hits the u. s. economy, and eventually it goes around the world in walla, now you have economists predicted recession. thank you for that. john john henry and reporting their life from arkansas. still ahead on al jazeera, the dangers as being a woman in mexico accuse a government failing to solve a growing list of crimes and m e n b, a payoff at veterans bicycles, boston celtics, over the defendant. ah, the seasonal wind is with us still down the gulf. there's not much cloud in the sky, but certainly not a haze in the end. it stands all way from iraq down towards the end, quarter. saudi. so this is dusty wind. it's still quite a hot one. those the sees no shamal, it's been lasting,

they are to probably go the $2.00 to $3.00 days as well. near gale force over the open water just windy in lad, and it's not affect the temperatures greatly the average. doha is 40, we got 37 is not a huge change. now it's a big dry picture. and the winds where they pick up also bring the dust with them again in libya and egypt eventually thing else spread across the levant. the few showers in southern caucasus are around the far north of iran. and beyond that, it took many stem and just the picture of thursday, and then friday spot the difference pretty hard to, to be honest at that time of the year as jump it for the south. and we're watching the changes the wind because it's event she will bring the monsoon rains across to india, but it should also be bringing the long range to kenya. and it's not, they seem to have disappeared. so drought conditions prevail and probably will last again for another year. the heaviest rating tropical after is further west. i think, particularly the central african public. but also cameroon. and gab on.

ah sure, jones, at home and inspiration, personal stories of people who are keeping the spirit of freedom alive by courageously defending their rights to be heard. a al jazeera select. i don't get a guest with

lou. ah, you're watching the news are on al jazeera with me for the battle. a reminder of our top stories gunmen have killed at least 70 people in separately. toxeme, eastern democratic republic of congo, villages were re, did need to a province where the government says its combatant groups bombing to control of gold mines. artificial results are mondays presidential election in the philippines suggests, for denmark, australia is set to win. 36 years after his father was overthrown in the so called

people power revolution. and in ukraine, the mayor's, merry of all says at least a 100 civilian men, remained the still worse besieged by russian forces. they've been traveling tense, rational ties, along with hundreds of soldiers, and they're refusing to surrender, saying they'll fight to the not to mexico where it's mothers, they and as sombre time for families of the disappeared. mothers from nation from the nation are iraq, cross a nation, are on the streets of the capital to continue their campaign to find their missing children, all 100000 of them and 52000 bodies, remain and identified in mortuaries, many victims of the drug war or criminal gangs fighting the government for territorial control. live to al jazeera manuel. rob, hello, who's among the protesters in mexico city? nearly a 100000 people missing money? who ave holly, we are in that downtown mexico city. this is

a marx that was organized for mother's day here in mexico. today is also gonna start walking with the march actually right now. and sort of give you an idea of, of the size of the demonstration taking place here. downtown mexico city. i guess before we're talking about maybe a 1000 mothers who are marching down the main avenue of mexico city. that has become a sort of remembrance day for missing persons. and the mothers that have gathered here. they either have a son or daughter who has disappeared. we talk about that trouble, some statistic regarding disappearances in mexico close to 100000. missing persons across the country were talking about people from all walks of life, a mothers that are here whose sons are victims of gang violence from heart tell violence mothers that are here from santana america, other parts of mexico whose children went missing while trying to cross to the united states, and one thing that you hear consistently from, from the mother,

from the parents who hm out to these demonstrations is that they are all victim. i unity that here in mexico, a many, many cases appears as a missing person. already been investigated for and the government itself has a long history. federal and state authorities have a history of force, disappearances, calling on action from the government to really curb this problem of missing persons across the country is public pressure having any meaningful impact ah, fully, as the number of missing persons in mexico has grown over the last year decades, so has public pressure, mexico's president of it has been when hope is odella, made it a campaign promise to curb violence, to curb and security, to do more, to find missing persons in the, in, in, in mexico. again, that number's close to 100000, disappear people,

the argument from activists and from human rights observers. is that the efforts by the government simply haven't been enough again, if you're pointing to impunity, there's another troubling statistic. $52000.00 and identified bodies in more across the country, which really makes you think that will come out to events like this. how many of the mothers that are here, i could potentially find their missing loved ones. among these 52000 and identified bodies and boards across mexico. thank you for that manual. rapid reporting there live from mexico city, honduras is former present, has pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking and weapons charges in a neal court. one, orlando, hernandez was arrested at his home in honduras in february, just weeks after his 2nd term in office ended. he was extradited to the u. s. last month. life to new york city and gable at his own door, gape tell us what else has happened in court today?

well, it's a very brief court appearance. it was just an arraignment. it lasted all of about 15 minutes or so. the former president upon doris one, orlando hernandez, was led into the court room by 3 marshals. he was wearing a blue prison shirt and he was sat down next to a translator was translating as the court proceedings were happening. of course, the key was when the judge asked him how he pleaded, he said, not innocent, not guilty, i'm sorry, not guilty is what his plea was, and that is very much expected. that is what we expected him to say. and then it was, the judge said that they will have another court hearing september 28th, and then the judge said moving forward, they wanna move it exposition lee as possible on a potential trial and set a trial date for mid january of next year. these take a long time these trials to pull everything together, but it's looking like mid january if he's convicted a long way away. but if he's convicted,

he faces wife in prison. and if this goes to trial, what could be the significance sounds that well, his lawyers are. i spoke to spanish media yesterday and they said that they would be obliged to call into the trial to testify. former president donald trump for president joe biden. and former president brock obama because they were, they want to lead hernandez had interactions with them over the course of the 8 years that he was president or those former us presidents going to testify. there's a 0 chance of that in his trial. nevertheless, it gives you an idea of how the defense is going to make this as spectacular of a trial as they can one or lender, who that is, claims that he's innocent. he claims that he's being set up by drug traffickers, and he was actually hoping the united states for the 8 years he was president to bring down drug trafficking. and so that's what they want to make this trial about

. it's important to point out that one, orlando hernandez is brother, was convicted of drug trafficking here in the united states, and it's spacing and it's facing life in prison here. so there's a lot of salacious details that could come out in this trial. and his defense lawyer said they planned to do that as much as possible. gabriel, thank you very much for the escape. elizondo live for say, in new york city, a dozens of prisoners have been killed and many more on the run after fighting between rival gangs in ecuador, the battle began when a gang leader was transferred from another jail. alexander, i'm kitty, has the details. this footage shows them i am inside the babies the prison in santo domingo. dozens of dead bodies are seen, piled under blotted floor. the inmates were killed in an overnight fight between rival gangs. officials say it was triggered by the arrival of a gang leader. is the latest in
