5:04 pm
but the region is still coming under attack from the m. i said bag is in a pro with me. well, we know that the company has said that 8 people have killed and wounded after russian striking in genesis. now he said that the russians have left his area, but they still have the ability to strike and people shouldn't ignore rates. that's an issue across the ukraine. we heard need was also being struck military and stuff like russian stories and all that shows is that is just reminding people, the although the russians have left every rank, you have and check. i have an even, are these 50 the buttons will coffee and city has been one? russia still strong and modern military has the ability to carry a striking low range missiles. and that's exactly what russia is doing. a hard thing, any former west and on the crossing the country and talk things at western infrastructure
5:05 pm
and social warning. as a government said, people not to ignore air raid sirens p days, a sense that there are no russian troops. for example, the pro, life is rule, but the areas are still go off, and that means that russia still has the ability to strike anywhere in the back of the one. but the wall, it's still talk. finland's parliament, meanwhile, has overwhelmingly approved the country's bade to join nighttime turkey's president has tried to hold sweden and finland attempts to join, but the us says it show a consensus can be reached at diplomatic editor, james james has moved from brussel. it was an overwhelming vote. in the finished parliament, 188 votes in favor, just 8 votes against a real turnaround in public and political opinion. infant fell and about joining nato, and that's all happened since the russian invasion of ukraine. but important developments
5:06 pm
to, with regard to sweden in the last couple of hours and a lind who is the swedish foreign minister she signed the former application letter from sweden to nato, which will be delivered to nato. and that's not just the end of it, because remember, we also potentially have a spot in the works, which is turkey. turkey has objected to this application by the 2 countries because it says they harbor terrorists. now what i think turkey really means by that is that they allow kurdish nationalists to operate on the soil. they allow people who support the p k. k, and they haven't extradited this turkey would like some of those people and some port supporters of the gulag movement to turkey. but turkey is still opposed and turkey is a native member. and the rules of nato are that it has to be unanimous. so the important meetings are going to happen in the next 24 hours, and they will be in new york, where anthony blink in the us secretary of stages staging
5:07 pm
a meeting on food security as a response to the war in ukraine and the global problem with with food supplies, but in the margins of that meeting, arguably, and even more important meeting when he'll beat his turkish counterpart and the u. s. try and persuade them to drop their opposition to other world news and reformers to candidates in lebanon have might be gains in sundays, parliamentary elections. official results have confirmed iran back has bala and its allies have a law to the majority. the saudi lines, listening forces party has also made games to become the biggest christian blog. and a hot reports from beirut. many of the old faces are back, but a meaningful number of new ones made it into lebanon's parliament, which now has a new balance of power. the iranian back has bella party and its allies lost their majority, but no other political grouping or party can claim victory. the opposition may be sizable, but not united. what is a 1st however,
5:08 pm
and post civil war politics are the so called reformists, who want at least 10 percent of the seats. these are candid, it's not affiliated to any of the mainly sectarian parties. we have to be ers ers. the king girl maker her because we have not. we don't have to be in the polarization. we have to create a bridge. ah, those new voices will stand in the middle of long time enemies. tensions have already spilled onto the streets. supporters of rival parties fought on election day the career ladder. local observers also documented attacks on their teams by supporters, mostly from she. our groups has bella, and among many observers with the so many pressures, especially in the electoral districts of 12 and the ball. buck hammer by some of parties, delegates, and each us and even supporters. the she,
5:09 pm
our groups may have preserved the $27.00 seats allocated to their sect, but observer say they can no longer claim sol representation. they did everything they cancel, intimidates photos, candidates and their representatives in constituencies. and at the same time, there's also a, an alternative, she, uh vote. so does she or vote, which went outside the box and through their opponents. and that happened for the 1st time, in spite of their attempts to keep it contained through the ballot box. there is no doubt change has begun. but the old divide has bella and its allies on one hand, and the christian lebanese forces on the other hasn't gone away. 6 non leaders will need to work together to agree on a new government and elect a president in a few months. political deadlock is not unusual in this fractured country, but there is an urgent need to adopt performs and laws to rescue a collapse economy and a polarized parliament won't make that easy. the divide dates back to the civil war
5:10 pm
which ended in 1990 after which power was divided between sects. but lebanon's parliamentary democracy is in reality, a consensual democracy. unanimity is needed for the system to work and peace to be maintained. a prime minister appointed by libby as eastern base parliament has now left tripoli after fighting between rival armed groups party by chava and several ministers arrived in the capital earlier in the day to take control of the government from the western administration. but the unity government, led by the tripoli, vice prime minister abdul hamid debate has refused to save power. malik trying to is following developments from good dominance in southern libya set he beside arrived in the early mornings. today around 3 am locally, according to his press office. later on around 5 am, 6 am. we saw clashes on the coastal road. the coastal road is on is
5:11 pm
a major, major road that are crossed as through our, the capital r clashes between groups that were supporting fed table sugar that we're protecting him and those that are against him. and this is something that we, that libyans here know all to well to different governments. we have the internationally recognized government by lead, by prime minister of the army de baber basin tripoli, and fatigue. bosher, who was appointed by the eastern based parliament. he has some support from various countries, but for the most part, libyans are sick and tired of having these 2 governments with libya was supposed to have elections in december. they were postponed, that the current prime minister of the hammer to bay been tripoli has said that he has been working to bring a bottle bring elections in june. it doesn't look like that's happening. and it's important to know that this is happening while there are talks in cairo between libya's 2 legislative houses,
5:12 pm
the parliament and the high council state. they're supposed to agree on a constitutional basis to hold elections as a really very disappointing for many libyans. and the people and the residents here that are going to suffer from these political divisions. clara is any, is a senior living analyst at the international crisis grade. she says there's a serious public discontent towards libby as political class. i think it will be a, it'll have a negative impact in the sense that as long as fatty bashar go who's backed by the military factions in eastern libya and the parliament as long as he sort of refrain from using violence to enter tripoli by force. there was room for a negotiation between the 2 broad camps, but now that he has once again, this is his 2nd time tried to enter tripoli and establish himself there in his government, but and yet again, failed and was pushed back. i think the patience of the tripoli, basal authorities,
5:13 pm
has, has run thin. it means that they will be less likely to embark in talks or accept talks, and they would be hardened towards a funky busha and his allies. and i think honestly the chances of a busha to clean that he will come to power and he will take over tripoli. at this point i did, it will be a blow. so for the u. n. lead talks taking place in the, in cairo, where certainly tensions will have increased the this morning because of these developments in them. in tripoli. unfortunately, over the past few months since the failed election of last december, when, when it was cooled off, i really grown man a less am confident in the political future of their country. they are disappointed . they don't see even a benefit in engaging politically because they see that the future of the country in the hands of
5:14 pm
a small elite that is taking the country in one direction on another. they see the country on the precipice. also another financial disruption because political crisis means closure of oil terminals, it means that, you know salaries will be delayed at possibly means inflation rise. and this is happening already against the backdrop of rising living cost because of the war in ukraine, which has pushed up grain prices in basic commodity prices. so overall, a very grim outlook for your average libyan to us democratic congressmen are pushing for an f b. i investigation in the killing a veteran, al jazeera journalist, sharina aqua, the us citizen was shot dead by israeli forces while on assignment in the occupied west bank on wednesday, a jeff, his bank global condemnation, and calls to the amount the targeting of journalists, congressmen, andre carson and lou korea are in the process of gathering signatures for the
5:15 pm
motion and without jazeera us congresswoman ill han homa called for accountability of assuring death and said washington should help with that investigation. as lawmakers here in the united states, we have a responsibility to not hold our adversaries accountable, but also our allies. and i want to remind people that should wean herself was a united states citizen. so an american journalist is killed on a foreign soil. it is important for the united states government to get involved ask for an independent investigation and a group of palestinian boy scouts of how the symbolic funeral for al jazeera jemma shrink aqua. they march through gaza carrying a replica coffin to commemorate her death. the 51 year old veteran correspondent was shot in the head as she covered in his rally. writing, janine, we occupied with the bank still ahead on al jazeera,
5:16 pm

5:17 pm
the more intense the rain will be falling al, it's about those temperatures. on wednesday painting the colors are dark of the red, the higher the temperature we're starting to dial them up again. new delhi, 43 um rates are also coming in at 43 degrees. this is a few days out in pakistan on friday. so the washer 50 degrees. jacob bad. you could very well hit 50 as well. next stop. se stages of dry spells across sumatra. java, but i want to take your rate to the philippines because the brain has been intense here for lose on island. and we do have a severe flight advisory in play. this is toward the west and the north of manila, around low, og, with a high $31.00 degrees. southern china looking good. we've got some showers rolling across the yang see river valley and for japan things are mostly fine and dry, including for tokyo, with a high of 24 degrees on wednesday. see you later. ah, trust in authority is up an old time low. you want that for him? hate distrust?
5:18 pm
this is a battle about what the true actually is. i'll just eras investigative unit holds back the curtain and reveals how fear suspicion and conspiracy theories have become the to the power. we're in a dangerous and that dangerous territory was what happens now that we literally diverge, that they will be how democracy does the truth illusion on a just either oh a hello. are you watching on 0? i'm emily, angling. he's a reminder of our top stories. this, our ukraine's military command says the mission to defend the as of style steel plant is over. more than 260 ukranian fighters have been brought out from the last
5:19 pm
stronghold of resistance in the city of marion home. russia this day surrendered, impedes in finland, have overwhelmingly back to be to join the government plans to file a formal application within days, along with sweden niger members say they want to fast track application and his dad lives in lebanon, have lost them majority in parliament, results from sunday's election show a major gangs to the lebanese forces party. the christian group aligned to saudi arabia, several anti establishment candidates, one faith as us president joe biden is in buffalo to meet families of victims of saturday's mash, shooting 10 people were killed in a rationally motor by motivated attack. a document allegedly tied to the gun and emerged online after the shooting. president biden is expected to call on congress
5:20 pm
to take action on gun ownership. i'm joined now by she have returned v. who's in the buffalo. she have the president has just arrived. what's the plan to do during this visit? already he spent several moments to make sure memorial that's now appeared just across the road from the top supermarket. with that master gets a place on saturday of flowers balloon as the names of the deceased or written that to be spent several minutes that he was with the 1st lady. job. also several political dignitaries, chuck schumer, the majority leader, the governor of new york, kathy herschel. and they stood buried, contemplation of them, they had some sort of discussion as well. and now they're on their way to a community center where we understand the president will meet with family members . that was the community to, to grieve with. after off of the terrible, terrible incidence, but then we do expect that to be
5:21 pm
a slightly harder edge later on in the day, bite is expected to make a speech in which as you say, he will call for more gun control. he'll call this act of terrorism. that was motivated by a hateful ideology. and yes, you will focus on gun control, but also all diverse is field. the need to fight racism, but also just may be need to keep gums out of those with mental illness. it's interesting saying some of these topics in a speech you already see how complex and how many conflicting ideas coalescing around this issue because already, so when you say well that one of the answers to this perhaps just to keep guns out of days with mental illness we know what of all the stories we've done is when you say that the mental advocate, mental health advocacy groups say, wait a 2nd, you're blaming us. we're actually more likely to be the victim of gun crime and come by the son, actually a perpetrator. this, this man is clearly a white extremist idea law, the racist. and as you see my while you're suggesting that is instrumental mentally
5:22 pm
ill. so that image will become, become an issue of that speech. i would imagine even saying that, you know, he was going to congress call even get most of his agenda through congress, and she's very unlikely that he's not going to get a, an assault weapons about there was some support or universal background checks. well, so we heading into the mid terms like the republicans to get them and get that based by going from going for that. so then we start to about freedom of speech and hate cry, speech and so on. but that is, you know, as opposed what the governor, for example said over the weekend. in fact, speech is protected by the constitution by the 1st amendment, by multiple times by the supreme court to the united states and, and actually often backed up by liberal organizations like the american civil liberties union. the, the thinking being, you call it, have the government decide what is hate speech and what isn't. it's a slippery slope and it's we know from american history. once you give the government that kind of power, then they will simply go off to those people who threatened them. not necessarily those who threaten others. so many intersecting issues here.
5:23 pm
but the one thing we do know is this, this person was able to get a gun because of a free availability of certainly a good starting point. but as we know, after mass shootings, what usually happens is, gun cells go up the supply of guns and america goes up because people are so scared of find the congress will act. but then it goes, well, we will watch the face and we will what she's speech a little later on in the day. and thank you very much for that update. she had returned the life rest in buffalo. extreme weather is affecting millions of people across south asia. and them in laced health warnings have been issued in northern india with temperatures of raged 49 degrees celsius, millions of lives and livelihoods of being affected. officials who have code cause health problems for the vulnerable, including infants, the elderly, and people with chronic diseases. have me metal, has this update from you telling?
5:24 pm
you know, it's absolutely unbearable. now the temperature in the national capital has climb down slightly after touching nearly 50 degrees celsius a day or 2 ago. but it's still very, very hard and much higher than what is normal. so this time of feel and you know, i'm coming to you from an air conditioned office, but there are hundreds of millions of people expose the heat wave that don't have that option. i mean, many of them are daily wage workers have to walk outside and can't really afford to take a day off, millions of all those, all farmers. and i'm really stressed about what this heat is doing to that crops and also their livestock. now you know some of an india, especially northern india, can get very hot, heat waves all combine, but export point out that what you're seeing right now is basically a larger change of changing weather patterns. british foreign secretary leaves truss says sheen tends to introduce new legislation to change parts of the northern

5:27 pm
the protocol to, to take place. now, does that solve northern islands problems as things stand right now when it's quite hard, frankly, to see how it does because the d u. p has said that they will not be enticed back into government by the promise of legislation. they want to see actual legislation . they simply don't trust the word of the government at westminster, that they say, say, see as having betrayed unionism here by agreeing to the protocol in the 1st place. a small company in california is causing a big headache for the multi $1000000000.00 solely industry auction. sola has a key china of avoiding tariffs by wrapping their operations through other countries in the region. the investigation into those claims has now forced a number of projects in the us to be put on hold. john hendrick reports from santa monica in sunny southern california. the soul of the american solar industry. mark
5:28 pm
smith can't find solar panels at any price yesterday. we put it in order for solar panels for the product that we use, and i being told august, this is unheard of for my company. so this is really detrimental, how long would normally take 2 weeks, the u. s. solar power industry has been nearly frozen in time since late march. that's when the u. s. commerce department started investigating whether china was availing us tariffs by shipping solar panels through for other countries. and because 80 percent of the panels in the us come from those countries, cambodia, malaysia, thailand in vietnam, almost no one is buying them. they're afraid if they buy them. now later they'll have to pay stiff, retroactive tariffs. and they are a few other options. we can almost not tolerate this in survive. many companies will go under in industry survey, found companies are now considering laying off $38000.00 americans more than a 3rd of the solar workforce and could lose $30000000000.00 in last projects. the
5:29 pm

5:30 pm
longer the situation persists, the more severe the damage will be, the u. s. calmer secretary says the probe will take, as long as it takes my hands are very tied here. i am required by statute to investigate a claim that companies operating and other countries are trying to circumvent the duties and i'm required by statute to have a full some investigation. a preliminary ruling is due in august, a final decision could take a year. another trip around the sun that might bring precious little progress for the american solar industry. john henderson, l. g, 0 santa monica, california. ah, hello, are you watching out the, are these the stories where following this alum, ukraine's military command says the mission to defend the as of style steel plant is alva. more than 260 crowning fighters have been brought out from the last stronghold of resistance.
