the 2 countries maritime, bought a dispute over offshore oil result is trade diminish security cooperation also suffered. but now with president ken yesterday, it seems that hudson shake is trying to rebuild those relations. prime minister abbey, i'm a to be is also that he'd have fairly good relations with president. joe. seems to be inspired to that change of power in mogadishu. seeking to continue those relations of the state media actually published an image a short while ago showing all of these leaders together in a room with high and shake the president and the former president from the image that shaken the people around. and really want to put out that he's a new president who can bring people together following some of the rifts and fall out both at home and in the region that happening in around somalia in the last few years. yeah, i'll come, i just saying a number of challenges facing him. what you've done since taking office

food. it seems to put some when back in the sales is the somali federal government fight with the on group. i'll ship bob within days of being announced the winter of that election, the u. s. said it was sending back soldiers to help with training and military operation. he heard people from the national intelligence and security agency who was seen as allies as the former president for my show, and those students having connection to the group i'll show bob is facing that drought that you mentioned. the appointed one of the defeated presidential candidates as a special representative for droughts and taking a more proactive sons from us. it was criticized for not doing much. this comes at a time when humanitarian organizations avoiding that many parts of somalia on the verge of famine. but the donors who provided support during previous drought,

definitely experiencing fatty wave, somalia, there's less money around a budget being cut. ukraine is providing always taking resources and causing a distraction. some fairly major challenges that including hundreds of thousands of people on the brink of according to humanitarian agencies, on the brink of family and in parts of rural somalia. all right, thank you so much. malcolm lab reporting from nairobi. the palestinian foreign minister is in the international criminal court at the hague, where he's delivering the findings of an investigation into the killing. a veteran journalist shooting a block lay. the al jazeera reporter was shot dead by is really forces last month while covering raids. and janine and the occupied westbank should in the case was submitted to the court 2 weeks later. but this will be the 1st visit by minister yard medicaid to the i. c. c sub austin has more from the international criminal

court minister. every molecule has just entered the building. he has his 1st meeting with the new prosecutor here at the cc, caught him conn. and we'll also meet the president of the court. basically, what he wants to achieve is to put more pressure. the case has been filed 2 weeks ago. it's now coming up to one month after the killing of pressuring oxley. and no justice has been done. the investigation is not going anywhere. so the minister is bringing new files, new evidence obtained by the palestinian prosecutor to the i, c. c. to put more pressure on these files. and evidence show that she was deliberately targeted and killed by. and it's really a soldier, as our investigations have also shown that there was a bullet that was on with that what's going on with clothing was a use of 5456 millimeter

a bullet. and that she was actually trying to escape that. she was ducking away from this shooting, so these new findings will be presented to the i c. c. and he really hopes and the frustration is actually mounting that the hasn't been any restoration c o 2 done into the killing of the journalist who was clearly wearing press on her fast when the killing happened. turkeys president renter type or tuan is attending military exercises in the city of is mirror. the drills are the largest joint exercise ever held in the region involving at least a 1000 for in service men from 37 countries and 10000 turkish troops. greece has criticized them maneuvers. joining us from there is russell sardar, to tell us, 1st of all, about the significance of these military exercises. russell lou

. wow, there in there. the death as this military grills has started in 2016 as his dad. it has been conducted at every 2 years, but this time is 2222 this year is not only the largest of the largest of these areas, but also the largest military exercise that has been conducted by turkey in the agency. so far, there are count 1000 turkish troops, military personnel that are joining this operation, and it is a joint and a combined military career. so means that the ne will lead land and the air forces are all together, conduct him, the military exercise. and also there are round $1004.00 and personnel is that they're coming from military for personnel that are coming from the ally. countries are also are joining, there's drills. so 37 countries have sent the military personnel representatives here. and that the company such as the u. k. france, italy,

the usa cutter also be john and pakistan. so today president, that one is now just speaking and he's joined by the defense minister of got out there be john and the turkish defense minister as well. so he has been particularly here criticizing degrees to say that the grease is distorting. the fact is continued his publication, but deprecation could have the good consequences. also, the officials here that we have talked, they said that these drill is not conducted only for the countries combat readiness, but it's also an opportunity for the turkish defense and the defense firms to showcase their product and for a so speaking of greece in itself is criticizing these drills and speaking out against them, remind us why are they upset greece while did the did this agree? oh, it's coming in a very delicate time. so the greasy is accusing tricky off while 18 if you're to peers and the,

the territorial waters over the same acquisitions are coming from turkey as well. so target says that the grease, he has a minute rise in the islands in the agency and it says that this is the violation of the international treaties that have been assigned between the 2 countries and related other countries as well. another concern that turkey is now are to imprison that one just yesterday said that the u. s. is recently increasing his military business in greece and says that now, yes, he has 9 military bases. and he said that when we asked americans why they're establishing this military basis, the americans are saying that these are against russia. however at once, is that turkey will not buy these arguments. so the tension definitely the agency between turkey and greece is rising. and so far through the decades of the more than history of these 2 companies, these 2 nato allies, how came to the brink of the war, but each time they have been able to manage the differences and to de escalate

destruction. however, this time there are going concerns that this time and maybe it will be a difference. all right, thank you so much, russell. start reporting and as near hunter morehead on the i'll just renew our including to date. we stand for lexi per voice demand action, because the victims on survivors of the shooting at a school in texas for gun reform, senegal, there's outrage about a list of candidates who run in next month. local election coming up in sport, boston restore their lead in the n b a finals as a warriors worry about their biggest star. that's always coming up with joe a little later. ah, but 1st the algerian bank association says a ban on all imports from spain has started after the government ended its 20 or

friendship treaty on wednesday. so it a q, spain of backing morocco's plan for the disputed western sahara region. morocco see, is the former spanish colony as it sovereign territory and controls 80 percent of it. but algeria backs the polystyrene front movement, which has been fighting for the regions, independence since the $900.00 seventies. let's bring in sonya and those was a professor for international politics at the university of barcelona. she's joining us from there. welcome to the al jazeera news. ours. so a spanish diplomatic source is saying that the governments of petro sanchez over in spain, quote, regrets the algeria and decision to suspend that cooperation treaty. but behind the scenes, how are we to spain going to be considering the potential economic impact? this decision is going to have on spain march is contained, are like a bit of a chalk between spanish economics and on this because they traditionally had a very for job balance between economic dependence on law and energetic dependence

on curia to countries that are really not very in terms, so these balance has been like really taken care of with a lot of care visually by all department in spain, regardless of their political color. now, the smooth man from the socialist government has really made a big shock because no one expected such an important change on her position. why do you think spain took this decision? we're still missing a lot of information. probably. the reason mainly is morocco has a team that use us in a political way, but it is, that's the borders. spanish for those on the south are the ones that bring more probably like worried in terms of migration balance. miracle uses based as a threat in many times during every year, allowing or closing the border. so allow we and shows off the regular,

my friends or something that is thing visible threat instead of saying we're not afraid of flows of my friends and you can not use this as an arm against this keeps moreover, such a strong cart to play, right? so going forward, what do you think spain will do next is going to be looking to walk this back to they want to repair ties with algeria. where do you think this goes to next? it's not clear because it's like the government, the political party in the government because it's a coalition government is quite alone in this situation right now. neither the position or its allies are really understanding what's happening. so i'm afraid there will have to be some diplomatic, maybe not very public, but for sure diplomatic dialogue and negotiations. we've got jury because we depend

on on jury in terms of energy, almost 90, more than 90 percent of our stuff comes from a curio. and we clearly cannot survive without guy. right? so behind the scenes, what do you think is going on in terms of mediation? would there be any mediation going on right now, or who can play an honest broker in this crisis? yes, that will be mediation for sure. bang, how many calls from the pod? very good relations with both the countries and also maybe even the royal family has been long tradition of good relations with the southern country. there will be something going on behind the scenes because we're not allowed to lose such a partner as well. ok, thank you so much. we'll leave it there. thank you so much sonya and for joining us from our so oh no, you're welcome. now an 11 year old girl in the u. s. as described how she smeared

herself with a classmates blood to avoid being killed during my shooting. was part of a testimony in front of us congress to call for gun reforms. 19 children and 2 teachers were shot dead at her school in vol day, texas. last month. my counter reports from washington into lawmakers on capitol hill hearing emotional 1st hand accounts of the devastating human impact of gun violence in the u. s. t. i n a i k i e g o cover way. hold off to her record a testimony. the father of the 11 year old school shooting survivor told members of

congress that the family is now dealing with the subsequent trauma. oh, look to day. i come because their career lost my baby girl. but she is that the same little girl that i used to play with ingram wood and do everything cuz she was that is little girl. i don't know what to do cuz i would think i would have lost my baby girl. she's everything not only for me, but her siblings and her mother. but i wish something will change, not only for kids, but every single kid in the world. schools are not safe anymore. another parent, the mother of a 21 year old, who was severely injured in the buffalo, new york shooting last month, issued a direct appeal to lawmakers. you are elected because you had been chosen and are trusted to protect us. but let me say to you here today, i do not feel protected. no

citizen needs an air 15. these weapons are designed to do the most harm in the least amount of time. and on saturday may 14th. it's it a domestic terrorist, just 2 minutes. the shooting killed and people and injured 3 others can still see her walking windows toward the exit. this mother called for a ban on the type of assault rifle used to kill her 10 year old daughter in you volley, texas. so at this moment, we ask for congress, we seek to raise the age to purchase these weapons from 18 to 21 years of age. we seek red flag loss stronger background checks. we also want to repeal gun manufacturers liability and unity. why these are measures supported by democrats in congress and echoed by several members during the hearing. no civilian needs, an assault rifle, and the 2nd amendment does not protect the right to own

a weapon of war. it's time that we banned assault rifles from our streets, from our communities, from our homes. but even on an occasion like this, the partisan divide is old to clear republicans weary of what they call an assault on the right to bear arms. calling full added security in schools rather than new gun control legislation too often tragedies are politicized for partisan gang. and we have seen many seek to leverage these crimes and their victims to push for lack radical left wing policies or to beatrice. their campaigns to get elected a division reflected in the senate to where 9 republican votes would be needed to pass any meaningful legislation votes that are unlikely to be forthcoming on anything other than the most tepid of measures. mike hanna, outages era, washington and in the hours after that hearing the house of representatives passed

a sweeping package of gun control measures. just a handful of republicans joined democrats and approving the bill. but it has little hope of getting through the senate's particle. haine has more from washington laid on wednesday. the us house of representatives past what is easily the most aggressive gun control legislation in years if not in decades. some of the things that the house passed basically raise the age for someone to be able to buy an assault weapon from 18 as it is now to $21.00. they want to band the sale of large capacity magazines. basically, if a clip can hold a 15 bullets or more, they want to get rid of that. they also want to create safe storage requirements for people who keep firearms in their homes for legislation, but also ban goes guns. those are basically guns that can be made from kids. they're pretty much untraceable and they want to band bump stocks. those are tools that can turn basically a rifle into what appears more to be a machine gun. the vote was fairly partisan. 5 republicans voted with democrats. 2

democrats voted against it so easily pass the house of representatives, but it is not going to become law the vast majority. if not all the republicans in the senate have said that they are opposed to this kind of strict gun control legislation. so it will, it pass the house. it will not pass the senate and it will not make it to the president for his signature. a man has been charged with the attempted murder of u. s. supreme court justice brett cavanaugh, the 26 year old, is arrested near a cabinet home in the state of maryland. on wednesday he was armed with a gun and knife. he told police he planned to kill cavanaugh, and he was motivated by the justices views on gun control and abortion rights. thousands of protesters incentive goals. capital have come out to support the opposition coalition. they're angry that the electoral commission rejected candidates for next month. local elections, it means main opposition figures will be able to run nicholas huck because more

from the car. up until the very last minute there was fear that this demonstration of this protest would not take place. there was a sense from the opposition that the government would yet again bound this demonstration, but the police of the car allowed it to take place. there is heavy security surrounding the vis, protest and authorities here did not expect the number of demonstrators and protesters that are taking to the streets today. thousands of people have gathered in protests to the decisions taken by both the election commission and the constitutional court. that is not allowing the list of candidates from the opposition to take part in the upcoming parliamentary election. why does this matter? because it is a test of legitimacy for president mckee, self who's come under increasing pressure while it's the economy is booming for

some, for many here, they feel that their lives are getting worse than they're struggling to pay for bills. and then there's the rising cost of basic necessity, whether it be cooking oil or sugar. the prices have doubled here. and that's why we're seeing so many people out on the streets. the political opposition led by it was months on co accused president mikey sell of using the courts the institution to eliminate the opposition ahead of this parliamentary election that's expected to take place on july 31st. so don's military rulers have begun direct talks with political parties. it's the 1st such meetings since the army seized power last october. but important pro democracy leaders refused to participate as hipaa. morgan reports from christian sudanese, political parties, and the army are coming together for talks. they haven't done this since the

military took power 8 months ago. the participants say they want to end the political impasse created by the takeover, which has left for them without a fully functioning government. and in political and economic turmoil, the united nations, the african union, and the regional body. i gad are facilitating the talks or aim of this dialogue is to reach a consensus on the constitutional arrangements. agree on a prime minister, prepare for elections. the tripartite mechanism is only a facilitator. it's up to the sudanese who are the stakeholders to decide on the outcome. to dance transitional period was derailed when the military took power last october. it dissolved a 2 year government that was meant to lead to down to democracy after 3 decades of one man rule under president obama alba, she had it also sidelined the political coalition known as the forces of freedom and change with whom it had signed a perishing agreement after bashir was forced out, the coalition was absent in wednesday stalks a group which split from it and had called for the military to take over attended.

so we've participated in this session to agree on how the transition should be and complete the transition period as well as prepare for elections. it is very important. we will also talk about how to form a government to lead during the remaining transitional period and implement the p steel signed. we don't want to cite, dine any one, and hope those who are not attending will join. prior to the start of the talks at the head of the army issued a statement of unity describing it as a historic opportunity to achieve the demands of to the nice people walkable, non co, you're not on what the liver. i request all the concern components to respond to this dialogue. i'm not stormed as an obstacle in the part of democratic change. i'm transition yvonne or the people in the country deserve to be put above our differences job and we should place the unity and security of the country above political and personal desire only china. but the forces of freedom and change coalition is not the only group that is chosen not to attend the groups known as resistance. committees, which have been organizing regular protests for months are also absent from these

talks. they have been vocal in their opposition to negotiate or compromise since the military took over last year. they were more protests on wednesday against the military's rule. more than a 100 people have been killed in anti military demonstrations and hundreds of others have been wounded since the takeover. those behind the protest say only when the military is removed from the equation, will they be ready to negotiate on how to dance, transition to democracy, should continue. he by morgan, alta 0 hutton, still had on the officer who was our 1st person enjo, and open the summit of the americas, hoping to drum up support on migration the progress in the democratic republic of congo. but belgium king false source of thanks. sorry for brucell colonial power coming up and for the trials continued the former people also sub bladder and michelle policy need are back in court to say allegations of fraud. ah,

america has been doused with rain off to south america. we go and we've got some storms just toward the east of the bolivian andes, stretching in to the southeast of brazil, so we'll pick up the weather story there. we also see these storms, why the not the cross northern areas of paraguay there it is pushing into the southeast of brazil, but it looks like sal paulo will be dry on thursday with the high of 21 degrees. that's it for me. i'll see you next hour. the how do you states control information in china local go. if you try to search the war tenement, we find it is trying to make the whole country forget how did the narrative improve public opinion. they have live die and that allowed the children to continue to die too. how is citizen journalism re framing the story? i am here to document the war crimes committed by whitting and his resume. the

a boy caught by son has overshadowed that offense. they're angry that washington refused to invite you about venezuela and he corolla. reynolds has more from los angeles walk in a speech, opening the summit of the americas here in los angeles, president joe biden challenge the participants here to work together on a long list of initiative. everything from improving health care in the region to ensuring food security, disrupting criminal gangs, and ensuring up democracies in the region. by far, of course, the top issue here is migration. there's record numbers of people seeking to go into the united states, fleeing problems in central america and elsewhere in the region. here's some of what biden had to say about that safe and orderly migration is good for all of our economies, including the united states. it can be a catalyst for sustainable grow one all on lawful migration is not acceptable. we

will enforce our borders, including your innovative coordinated action with our regional partners. we've come a long way together says united states hosted the 1st summit of the americas 20 years ago. there is no reason why the western hemisphere shouldn't be secure, prosperous, in democratic from canada, northern most riches, the southern tips of july. now this summit meeting is overshadowed by the fact that several leaders from mexico, from honduras, guatemala el salvador and elsewhere countries that are actually essential to figuring out the a solution to the migration problem. boycotted the summit. they sent their for foreign ministers instead. and that's because the by the administration did not invite the leaders of cuba, nicaragua, and venezuela. nevertheless, biden's said that the people who are here, the leaders who are here will by the end of this summit,

this week signed what he called the los angeles declaration. that is a attempt to manage in an orderly way. he said the flows of refugees and to increase opportunities for safe and orderly migration, while at the same time disrupting gangs of criminal traffickers. human traffickers who pray on desperate people over crowding. an extreme heat are creating dangerous conditions for a thousands of asylum seekers making their way towards the u. s. through mexico. manuel rapids reports in the southern chap us states. the append gymnasium in southern mexico has been temporarily transformed to house thousands of migrants and asylum seekers. it's crowded and many people here are starting to get sick. and i said, i think that medics from a humanitarian group see they're treating hundreds of people every day. but they can't tend to everyone northeast in the port again,

it's not enough. the flow of migrants is constant and it's big. we always need more support, more hands, more resources, conditions at the camp are also unsanitary. the risk is especially high for children. observers from unicef, see the situation here is extremely precarious affairs for them that i gain more test, but it's on with me. you can see there are money people here, money, boys and girls are sick. they have fevers, their bodies covered with insect bites, and the heat is affecting small babies and particular adamant that migrants rights, advocates organized this caravan to coincide with the summit of the americas taking place this week in los angeles, hoping to call attention to the plight of thousands of migrants who have been stuck in southern mexico for months. while most people here seem unaware of the political motivations of the caravans organizers, many or hopeful,

the u. s. government will open its doors when the eventually arrived at the u. s. border. hello, fame. and i do it, we're asking them to help us to be allowed to pass without so many obstacles without having to spend so many days sleeping on the floor. we would do anything for them to help us. there's rain on the horizon, adding to the worries that more people at the camp could also become ill. the day is coming to an end here in southern mexico and migrants are starting to look for space among the crowd to get some rest. but there are simply too many people here and not enough room to accommodate them all. it looks like many others will be forced to spend another night without a roof over their heads. though hundreds of migrants have broken away from the caravan and continued north on their own, it could be several weeks before this group reaches the us border. organizers have asked them not to grow desperate and leave on the road. adding that there are worse

dangers in mexico than getting sick. men will rub a little al jazeera weeks, le mexico, a u. s. congressional committees to begin public hearings into the capitol hill attack on thursday, january last year, supporters of been president donald trump storm the building encouraged by his false claims the election. he'd lost or stolen heidi. so castro reports ah, a congressional panel lead by democrats has been investigating the january 6th right now after conducting nearly a 1000 interviews and collecting $250.00 terabytes of data, the panel will finally begin to reveal its findings to the public. trump was prepared to seize the presidency and likely to invoke the insurrection act and declare martial law. so we're going to tell the whole story of everything that happens. here's dang, will be the 1st of several public hearings. they'll features my witnesses and previously unseen videos from january 6. i think people would want to see some new

information and particularly new striking information about thompson all met. videotape depositions of trump's daughter and son in law may be shown at the hearings, but trump himself is not expected to testify. we fight like hell, and if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country any more. last year he was impeached for inciting insurrection, but was not convicted among the answers that may be revealed. what trump was doing as the supporters storm the capital and why he waited 3 hours to call them off. you have to go home. now. we have to have peace. trump has not faced criminal charges or whether that changes after these public hearings is uncertain. the hearings will also del further into security failures in the days ahead of january, 6th, and efforts by trump and his age to overturn the election. yeah, january 6th was

a very dark day in america's history. i think it's important to have a full accounting of what happened and making sure that through these hearings we ensure that it doesn't happen again. republican called the democrat lead investigation, a sham a recent m b. c. news poll show the percentage of americans who believe trump was responsible for the riot has dropped to 45 percent. and it's unclear how many people entered this round of hearing floor. but democrats are hoping for another chance at a public reckoning that may help the party in november, the mid term elections. heidi joe castro al jazeera washington corporate with president donald trump and 2 of his adult children have agreed to testify in a civil investigation into his business practices. after losing a court appeal, new york state's attorney general says her inquiry has found the evidence, the trump organization, which managers, hotels,

and golf courses missed reported the value of its assets to get benefits including loans and tax breaks. trump says the investigation is a which brazil has deployed helicopters to a remote part of the amazon to search for an indigenous expert and a british journalist who disappeared on sunday. the government has been under pressure to step up efforts to find bruno period, as well as don phillips. but i had received death threats for his work, helping to protect indigenous groups. a man is being questions in connection with their disappearance. l james king has repeatedly has repeated, excuse me, that he profoundly regrets his country's colonial past. and what is now the democratic republic of congo, king felipe and queen matilda attended a reef laying ceremony in the capital control. so it's the 1st time a belgian monarch has travelled there in more than a decade. millions of congolese were killed or mutilated under colonial rule.
