pacific engagement. first. it's go away and hey, in fiji capital service or how's it being seen there? is it being bill the success? well certainly in that media conference that we just saw between one ye and frank binding, madame, or there was nothing but positivity in there. but the main purpose really, or the main objective of one ye coming to serve a was to meet with the foreign ministers from 10 pacific island nations. he did that on monday afternoon. it was a virtual meeting in that meeting. he was hoping to get agreement out from all of the foreign ministers on a china proposed regional are packed, covering a broad range of issues, railey from cooperating on security. fisheries. climate change, things like that, that was proposed by china, that meeting, but it did not get signed in that media conference again, which was held this evening in the hotel behind b. there was no mention of the regional agreement by one year. no questions were

allowed from reporters who were in there, but afterwards the chinese ambassador to fiji did speak. and he confirmed that for now, the proposal from beijing has been shelved out because there was not consensus from the foreign ministers who attended that virtual meeting with the chinese at foreign minister. they couldn't agree on all the elements in that agreement. not so again, a fairly broad agreement from what we've seen that has been leaked to the media, but it was the security element of that that was causing most concern among the likes of australian new zealand and the united states. because we saw that security corporation agreement signed last month between beijing and the solomon islands on the face of it, a fairly harmless sort of agreement that involves things like training the solomon's police force. but the concern is that that could develop much more in the years and past decades ahead into ultimately perhaps a permanent chinese military presence in the solomon island. so the worry from

those nations that i mentioned before, out was that that sort of agreement could be replicated and repeated in some of the other pacific island nation said that agreement did not get signed. so from that point of view one ye will leave the g on a bit of a disappointing note. all right, let's cross over and get the perspective from china. let's go to katrina. you in bay ging, how's it being framed there? oh, quite differently to what wayne has mentioned here. one used trip to the pacific islands as being viewed as a diplomatic success and a demonstration of the failure of western countries to contain china's influence in this region. now what has been covered by chinese state media here isn't the lack of consensus about any sort of agreement. instead, what they've emphasize is the warm welcome, wonky, has received by fijian leaders and other leaders in the south pacific chinese president. she jan being also sent a written address or speech ahead of time to those lead is expressing the deep

friendship of china, the long history of this friendship between china and this region. he said that a china of use all countries big or small as equal and that it will continue to have good relationships with these countries of brotherhood. he mentioned no matter how the international situation changes. and you also said that this relationship between china and these countries will continue to be mutually beneficial. i think bating is at pains to emphasize that china is reaching out to these countries in a very friendly way that it does not want to exert any undue influence. beijing has denied that it plans to militarize this zone. and it's also trying to say that even if you have good relationship with good relations with the u. s. or australia, china will not make you choose. and the implication is that these other countries are forcing these are these nations to make

a choice between the 2. and he says that china will not patronize these countries. certainly message here. other state media propaganda message has been that these countries are looking to break away from their post colonial, the post colonial influence of australia and other western countries. and that they're seeking new opportunities with china, china, with a country that is willing to put its money, whether its mouth is when it comes to delivering aid. and also which is very serious about issues that these leaders are concerned about specifically climate change. all right, thanks so much. will they be that katrina, you well tens of thousands of flag waving ultra nationalists. israelis have march through the most sim quarter of occupied east jerusalem. the provocative flag day. march celebrates the occupation of east jerusalem in 1900. 67. some chanted racist flows and fought with palestinians. as iran con, report sits left the city further on edge. oh, black suede in what israel says is

adequately defending against the russian advance. then both probably reports about the bus, despite the secrecy, despite heavy security. a surprise visit a car key ukraine. second largest city is for a leader who was at the very top of russia's kill list at the start of the war. at the very least, a calculated risk president vladimir zelinski personally surveying the damage made it clear. it's never too soon to begin rebuilding. when is the d d chain show or she could eat mean we have to find some money and credit lines of the state must provide guarantees, and cities must find super projects and find the money because in the cities, governors and mayors are more likely to find one or another european program for housing construction, some state programs and some local programs. this is a chance, a chance to give a new look to such districts, you know,

just south he even went to the front line to inspect ukrainian positions, and met with soldiers stationed in and around the city, handing out awards and service metal. no mystery. i want to thank you for your service, you risk your life for all of us and for our state. thank you for defending the independence of our country. take care of yourself, glory to ukraine. a trip meant to project strength and raise morale. to a place that is still very much a front line in this war. a 3rd of the city remains in russian hands and areas not occupied by russian forces come under regular attack. just hours after he left, there were missile strikes on the settlement. the ukrainian president has won widespread admiration for his wartime leadership at home and from allies in the west, which he is hoping translate into more long range heavy weapons. and soon,

zelinski is 1st visit outside the cave region comes as russian forces continue to pummel cities in the east and south. as part of the russian forces objective to try and consolidate as many gains as possible in the don boss, region, and as ukrainian forces plan and prepare to mount counter offensive to try and stall and possibly push back. what has been an unrelenting russian advance zane basra v o 0 keith, a former rebel fighter has come out on top of columbia presidential election. but gustavo petro didn't win off folks to avoid run off against his fall right challenger the thunder on. pnc reports from bug otarre ha, it's an historic result for a leftist candidate in columbia, but more than 8 and a half 1000000 votes from a rebel fighter. gustavo federal came clearly on top in the 1st round of the presidential elections running on the promise of profound economic and social

change. petro managed to get 40 percent of the vote. 10 percentage short of what he needed for an outright victory. oh, can it come? you will come, you'll scarce on, there are changes that are empty. there are changes that don't lead to real change . we want to invite all of colombian society to embrace real change. yet his success was diminished by the surprised 2nd place of rudolph lebanon. this a 77 year old businessman who rose in the poles in the last 2 weeks as an unexpected anti corruption crusader. oh isn't this a former mayor of the city of bouquet? manga managed to present himself as an alternative anti establishment candidate. despite being investigated himself for a number of wrong doings, he has been compared to a colombian version of trump. and in the past said he was an admirer of others. hitler. yet his message connected with many frustrated columbian voters in

a campaign mostly conducted on social media. or he saw the moscow, you know, alone. we see that citizens have the will to end corruption as a system of government. today, the country of cheap politics and corruption lost the corrupt to thought they would govern forever. last. federico gutierrez, the defeated candidate, backed by the traditional establishment immediately and doorstep. man, this 4, to run off against what he calls the dangers of a petra's presidency. our mandate is potentially tetanus foresight. now i'm around and the alexa and pedro campaign was really confident that given around when the meeting of the cameras know what a one given it. here is his strong association with the right ma'am. again, savage men, the whole situation changes now given is anti establishment discourse. its origins outside of politics is most clearly an outsider. the main takeaway here is that these results, represented 1st and foremost,

as standing blow to columbia traditional conservative establishment. the question for gustavo pedro though, is that if he now will be able to convince enough people that voted for regard for it, man this, that he represents the true change that columbia needs. alexander m p, at the al jazeera of over time. new palsy ation of thought, he says 14 bodies have been recovered from a small plane which crashed on sunday. it flew into bad weather with 22 people on board. the tara airplane was on a short flight from the tourist town of bo hara to the town of johnson. the trip is popular with hikers, as well as indian n nepalese pilgrims. and the longest dam removal operation and u. s. history will begin soon in california. it builds on a wider trend. almost 60 dance have been torn down in the past 2 decades. is rob ronald reports from home broke. this latest deconstruction isn't just about the

environment. the klamath river meanders through steep mountain sand, lush forests. it's banks are home to our sprays and great blue herons, and playful betty's of otter's fishing guide. jack trout is worked here for 29 years. there is something about the klamath river that just makes me feel better about life in floating, feeling the waves. but in spite of the apparent abundance trout believes the klamath is in crisis, there was something terribly wrong with the salmon ram. and i mean the spawn was just here and gone so fast. it wasn't natural. salmon were once incredibly abundant. here they were the cornerstone of the ecosystem and the main food source for indigenous people in the region. the, your rock, the hoopa,

and the carrack, those days are gone. this is the iron gate damn one of several built decades ago for hydro power. it blocks off the salmon from their sworn and grounds up stream. the fish have steadily declined ever since it was built on dams. when and we saw these huge population crashes and salmon and other species, these salmon fry are swimming in a hatchery. just below the dam, but hatchery fish, a failed to restore the salmon population for the tribal people, the result has been disastrous, without recourse to their traditional diet of salmon rates of diabetes and heart disease have sword. so it's really hard to emphasize as how important the salmon are to us. i mean, for me, it's not just a food source, it's also the connection to my ancestors. now, after decades of negotiation and bureaucratic delay, the iron gate dam is going to be torn down. the process will take several years and

will be the largest dam removal in us history. when this dam and the others along the klamath river are finally removed, native americans and others who depend upon the river hope that it will once again flow free and clean and full of salmon, all the way to the sea. from here at the mouth of the klamath salmon travel up stream to spawn, after their mysterious journeys in the pacific ocean, where intertwined and every way with the klamath river and without the klamath river. there, there are york people, a river to be restored for generations to come. rob reynolds al jazeera on the klamath river, and neglect and the forces of mother nature are threatening one of the world's oldest cities in libya. as malick trying to reports, structures that have stood through the ages on the verge of collapse.

adamus, the ancient berber city was the cross road for major cultures of the african continent and the mediterranean basin. a spring deep in the desert has made it an attraction for thousands of years. the old city is testament to live in history and culture, and one of 5 eunice go world heritage sites here. not here, but it never thought about. adamus is an important here to cite for all mankind, not just libya, so it's something that should be preserved. it's a tourist attraction. it should be priority for officials, but all of libya, historical sites are suffering from a lack of funding via castleton airstrikes during world war 2. in 1943 leveled entire neighborhoods, the rival remains to this day. to day the site faces a different kind of threat. the old city has survived the harsh

conditions of the desert for centuries, but to continue to persevere, people here say ill need more attention and funding from the government. harley dell has g is a local tourist guide. he says parts of the city have collapsed because of rainfall in recent years. when a man is overweight though, of germanium and hold, the level of destruction is clear, not a single government has given the attention it deserves love. the development authority does what they can my can with, with what little funding they get us. if we don't really be it's wedding season. salem has been making bellas for decades. his hand made shoes are the most sought. after these brothers adorn traditional red robes and bulk us. during the hannah ceremony, a gift from the bride wanted the groom tattoos his hand with the hana apiece. it

means he has accepted her hand in marriage. and the week long wedding ceremony begins. it's traditions like these past down for generations. that face an imminent threat. there are fears that if the government doesn't act, the city will eventually collapse. but people here hope their city traditions and culture will continue to live on. malik, trainer al jazeera, kudos. ah ha, let's take you through some of the headlines now. china says it's agreed to work more closely with fiji on a number of fronts as foreigners to wine gear continues a diplomatic blitz across the pacific. but a sweeping security agreement with 10 island nations that was to be signed on mondays been shelved. tens of thousands of flag waving.
