12:20 pm
contributed to less humanitarian and political response. when the d r c is getting so little attention in the global media, it also leads to less a money going there compared to ukraine and other crisis that are in the limelight constantly. but also to reduce political diplomatic attention and initiatives to sort of the deep crisis in the, in, in the congo. so we're in a desperate situation as human, terence on the ground. we're not getting the attention not, not the funding, nor help to solve the crisis. and as the world's attention remains elsewhere, most of the funding appeals to respond to the crises in the countries on the list remain low. 8 organizations the that needs to change, to improve the lives of millions of people. morgan algebra record number of female ministers have been sworn in australia newly elected governments. 13 have been

12:22 pm
how diesel castro has more from washington dc. now gender and has pleaded not guilty to these charges. he has been in police custody since may 14th the day of that shooting that killed 10 african americans inside a grocery store in buffalo, new york. police say that gender who was white posted a manifesto laced with hate, that made it clear he was targeting black people. this is a newer law if from the new state of new york that is domestic terrorism. i hate crime. this is a lot. it's only been on the books for one and a half years, an investigator say, because the accused shooter here travelled 3 hours by a car and specifically targeting african americans. that makes it a hate crime, a charging him with his domestic terrorism as a hey crime. now this law passed after a previous mass shooting in taxes when it was hispanics who were targeted within
12:23 pm
a wal mart store. but we can't talk about this buffalo shooting without also mentioning the other mass shooting that happened just 10 days after this carnage and buffalo. and this is in texas where 19 school children and their teachers were gunned to death in move all day. that tragedy still unfolding with funerals, taking place and these back to map back mass shootings again, we igniting the debate in the united states over gun laws. and again, the soul searching the unanswered question of why this continues to happen. the white house has revoked a series of from the era restrictions on flights to cuba. cubans are now allowed to join family members in the us and potentially obtain permanent status. the cuban government is welcome to move, but there is anger that cuba hasn't been invited to attend the summit of the americas. the regional form between the u. s. and latin american leaders is due to be held in los angeles next week. venezuela nicaragua,

12:25 pm
sort of like the arab spring. and so i think the administration feels that in fact it could bring about regime change. and i think that's how the cubans to see with the cubans perceived that the united states is aimed at. so overthrowing the regime . it's going to be hard to find some common interest in mexico, at least 11 people have been killed in another. 33 are missing in the wake of hurricane, i guess it's the strongest hurricane ever recorded to mexico's pacific coast in the month of way. may minute raffle reports, flood waters have begun to recede on the coast of war. haka in southern mexico. residents however, are still reeling from the impact of hurricane agatha and i have nothing left, nothing to eat. now i'm going to see what i can find, but nobody has anything to lift. agatha was a powerful category to hurricane when it made landfall late monday evening. and
12:26 pm
authorities say the death toll is likely to rise, while the search for those missing continuous a much the model. this is based on the reports we've received. we've made the decision to provide services to the most affected areas. most importantly, the post of war hacker day. the challenges faced by those emergency teams are daunting. heavy rainfall from agatha caused widespread flooding and mud flies, state and federal authorities. c efforts were in underway to clear roads and provide desperately needed aid to thousands of people. effected was entered into sola though you were ya, bolona what is dirty and we don't have anything to drink, but they're waiting for support. mean, at least water food or whatever they can give us because you lost everything you. we don't have anything the clothes and dishes of that. everything was lost in the nameless though hurricane agatha has mostly dissipated over the mountains of
12:27 pm
southern mexico. weather forecasters warned the remaining thunderstorms could regroup into a tropical depression, or even a tropical storm. if so, agatha, his name would change to alex, becoming the 1st named storm of the 2022 atlantic hurricane season. potentially bringing heavy rain and wind to the us state of florida by the end of the week. manuel rap, hello al jazeera. on this day, 50 years ago, the world's 1st ever environment conference took place in sweden, sounding the alarm about humanity's impact on the planets. half a century on and scientists and politicians are again gathering stock home to tackle what's become a pantry emergency. our environments editor new clark reports, stockholm, sweetie, june 12th, 1972 misses indira gandhi prime minister of india, arrived to day to address the 1st united nations conference, all the human environment. it is clear that the environmental crisis,
12:28 pm
which is confronting the world, will profoundly alter the future destiny afar can't make you would think that vast global away is all the planets predicament off a century ago. would have corrected our trajectory towards climate catastrophe. but instead, more coal, more oil, more gas was burned and we are where we are today in a world where bio diversity is in collapse, where deadly heat waves and wild fires tell a grim truth. where environmental disaster seems to be a weekly event. somewhere in the world, the him horn, so this moment is well 50 years ago. those reports set out very clearly what was needed to be done and it hasn't been done. and of course, we now find ourselves pretty much on the edge of catastrophe, whether a we're talking about waste pollution, climate growing inequality, poverty, stockholm declaration did presage the age of the environmental conference. what successes like the parents agreement in 2015. 0,
12:29 pm
with these events or at the intersection at which science and political self interests collide. because and progress can be elusive to say the least can you? but progress is needed now on some perilously important issues. like how the planet feeds and powers itself. we couldn't be in a more, ah, important place in the history of society. i would, i would say. and so i think it is critical that people turned their eyes towards stockholm and really see it as a key moment. in 1972, we saw the early days of environmental activism. they awarded a series of prizes to the olympic champions on pollution. may we have the 1st award for automobiles, although the protest movements has moved on since the message is the same spearheaded today by another product of stockholm. this has been
12:30 pm
a time where we have been reminded of how vulnerable we are. our current predicament reinforces a point, made 50 years ago, which the day is more valid, and troubling than ever, no one amongst us, whatever, asking the strength or circumstance, kendra mean undetected. there has been certain victories, like mending the hole in the ozone layer, or eradicating the production of leaded fuel. but those gathered in stock home 50 years on now confront perhaps the ultimate challenge. to bring us back from the brink of a climate emergency. nick clark al jazeera ah, following on the headlines analysis 0, the world's leading, all producers are discussing whether to increase outputs. opec is considering compensating for drop and supply.
