o l g 0. when ever you oh, we understand the differences and similarities have cultures across the world. so no matter why you call home al jazeera will bring you the news and current affairs that matter. t al jazeera with. i don't have a narrative. i have all my should join me, rochelle here. yeah. and upgraded my guess from around the world. take the hot fleet and me to basically talk don't worry some pricing issue here. ah. ready us senators agree,

a bipartisan outline on gun control, but the proposal fall far short of measure thought by president joe biden. ah, the whole rahman watching all their life, my headquarters here in coming up in the next 30 minutes, legal, demolitions or collective punishment to indian authorities bulldoze the properties of several muslims have demonstrated against the governing b. j payne. think for francis next parliament president manuel macros. coalition face is a tough challenge from last spring block, led by john mcmillan short city hall for 1000000 people, ukraine's walk them all day over. but is the former soviet things also went to threat, its prime minister speak to al jazeera ah,

welcome to the bug may bipartisan group of us senators have agreed on a framework for new gun controls. if passed, it would be the most significant legislation on controlling guns and decades. it follows a spate of my shootings last month 19 children. 2 teachers were killed in an attack on a primary school in texas. and 10 people died in the shooting at a supermarket in buffalo, new york. so that's a good place to look at those proposals. they would provide resources to states to help them create and administer so called red flag laws. that also, that to ensure that weapons are kept out of the hands of dangerous individuals. buyers under the age of 21 years would be subject to tough. a background checks including mental health records. and they would provide funding for enhanced mental health services and communities and schools. let's cross over to roughly and jordan is live for us in washington. d. c. a lot to digest railey roles. what more do we

know about what's in this package? while there's also was some funding to try to so call, harden schools and other educational campuses to make it more difficult for those who would try to conduct a mass shooting on campus from gaining access. and there is also was some money to help us provide more protection for victims of domestic violence, although that that hasn't been what people have been really focused on in the past month or so. what is notable is that tell one, this is a bipartisan agreement that was reached by 10 democratic senators and 10 republican senators. theoretically, that would mean that it should be easy. she was pass this legislation because you need 60 votes in the u. s. senate in order to pass significant legislation, but there's no guarantee that the tense, republican senators, who took part in this negotiation will actually vote for the measure once the final

text has been completed. and it's brought to the floor for a vote. of course is a small step, but many would say it is still a long way to go. well, not only what they say, it's a of a long way to go there already. people reacting on social media, suggesting that this doesn't really address the problem at all, which in their view is the fact that a military style weapon of the a r 15 is available to anyone who can pass a federal background check in this country. and they say that unless these weapons are taken off the streets and that the sales of these weapons are banned from now on. this is going to be, we're going to see more of these kinds of mass shootings across the united states. the u. s. president joe biden noted in a brief statement in the past hour that while the bill doesn't include everything that he wants to see, he's did say that this is a good 1st step in the right direction. but there is already concern that this

isn't going to do anything to prevent another mass shooting in this country roseville. the at the thanks very much. rose jordan, that all senior correspondent in washington, dc or properties linked to muslim protested, having demolished on the indian state of utter pradesh, the destruction full days of rallies against 2 former bp officials, from making remarks against the prophet muhammad. but many consider offensive victoria caitlin. because the story, a bulldozer demolishes the home of a muslim politician and activist authorities in the state of a topper dash, say, mohammed javert didn't have planning permission again, door your to people involved in the violent protests have been identified and it was found they had a legal constructions and bulldozers liberals and we will also charged them under the national security, yale or javits family. say he wasn't at the protests and accused the governing b. j. p. of trying to intimidate them or even being our house tax. but around 20

years and not one how we received any information by any development at harvey's or collaborate that our house is illegal on like, you know, why will they didn't give it? why would even be my acts as it is it, was it illegal how to eat properties linked to muslim protest says we're all say demolished on saturday. oh, the demolitions followed days of protests against 2 former b j. p. officials you made remarks against the prophet mohammed that many consider offensive protest as wont. one of them knew, poor sharma arrested for hate speech. the parties headed media in new delhi navine crew margin. dell is also accused of making insulting remarks. some protest turned violent on friday, but legal experts say authorities cannot use that as a justification for destroying people's homes. you cannot demolish a man's house for brook estie. you cannot link it to the focus,

the lack of different things altogether. so it is in my view, yet it is in my view and abuse of power. the b j. p says it strongly denounces insults against any religion set to ideology. the protest is they believe that statement and say these demolition speak louder than words. victoria gates and be al jazeera voters and vans all choosing that new parliament and election that could determine if present. manuel macro will succeed in pushing through reforms. microns coalition holes, the majority of seats 7, the outgoing national assembly. but he's facing a challenge from a left wing block less than 2 months. after being re elected $577.00 seats are being contested. in the 1st round, joan, who has been following the day's events,

2 months after returning emanuel macro to the presidency, french voters are electing a parliament high in their minds, the climate crisis and cost of living. is it possible like history? so i think the essential question of our era is climate and the planet, and that important things must be done immediately. georgia tech measures and needed in terms of the current situation to deal without purchasing power and competitiveness. the question is, how do we despise the current situation? keep moving forward. microns, centrist ensemble coalition faces a strong challenge from a far left alliance, built by john luc mellon, shaun if the leftists, greens and communists do well, they could block much of microns agenda, making france, as one analyst pointed out ungovernable, the countries ungovernable. if you have a weak majority, that does not mean that you can run the country and you very well have in the next

month. a huge uprise of people saying, well, we are not happy with the presidents decisions. we do not consider that peace can solve a problem. so where can we solve it? and you can have this st. let's say st. democracy, france has a strong tradition of st. protest like the yellow vests that made microns 1st term, so uncomfortable with their demands for economic justice and political reform. this election could provoke similar scenes. the left is coalition has its own ideas about how to deal with frances cost of living crisis, soaring inflation that alone you policy and the war in ukraine. it is entirely possible that in the new parliament, the centrists could find their way blocked. at every turn. 5 years ago, the manual micron completed a clean sweep of power with his centrist winning the parliament as well. his 2nd term as president could turn out rather differently. jona whole al jazeera paris.

well, lots to play for sure. natasha butler is live for us in paris and how is the election voting gangway you are good tennis while the turn out by estimates are actually is actually pretty low about 53 percent of people have decided not to call that balance from. i mean, it's been very quiet indeed here at the polling station and look, it really reflects something we expected in this campaign because based vote for the parliamentary elections has taken place less than 2 months of the presidential campaign. there is a real friend, was election 15. karen fraud is not an election but really captured people's imagination. either. there are more than 6000 candidates or multiple policies, and it's very localized indeed. and that's why many people simply not come out to vote. there's also just been a sentence is really been

a trend in election the frog in recent years, which many people also think that they all fell off of politics fed up for politicians. they are becoming increasingly disengaged or from the political process. and that's also why people are choosing not to vote. it is something of an issue. we do know that president crawl is supposed to be speaking with someone case advises about this because it is being seen as a form of a ration of democracy. when people simply don't feel they want to go and costs that balance because will continue to follow events through the day with you that natasha in paris, natasha butler forced the raymond sarah alarm is research and comparative laura university to lose capital. she says that the way minorities, the voting is difficult to predict this time round. and we have seen that in the presidential election, vulnerable minorities tend to vote for parties who actually tried to be from their interests or who are less evil and mental, shall indeed be extremely grave with minorities. now,

it is not without critics either these new coalition that men on shall manage to gather which by the way are still divided. the general left or so had some critiques from minority, saying that he did not choose minorities to actually be part of the government. and to run for election. so we will have a clear picture of the 2nd round when alliances all the island since we have to be made. we have seen that in the past for dental election at the 2nd round when i try to reach out the category of people that he needs. so if you need votes for them, and i think it's pretty much the same here, with the exception that this time i think that michael knows very well that for him, the fall left winning is a threat to his parking, which ironically speaking is still device as well, so again, the question is with whom michael is going to have an alliance with the right wing,

which also is very divided and weak. or these part of the lead the hardliner, you know, that calories, those who actually hold the same kind of discourse. so on which side will he be and i won't be surprised if indeed feel free reach out to these people. but if you're willing, well still a had here on out there will have the latest from the, at the center of the battle for eastern ukraine as fire and gulf, the chemical plant sheltering civilian, also family and friends of 2 missing men in brazil. pulled out hopes individual, as they find you don't find them alive. ah ah, that be very windy, dusty and quite hot on the home without his airy recently that wind is dying down.

so i suspect during monday to be that she nothing over it was the nice side, but look at this for the size, it's winds and in interesting direction and mind having be the hottest place in the world yesterday might end up being something like that. again, there must got some safety for just around the corner, new in which ira $46.00 is pretty high for this time of the year. and where it's been hot recently, and parts levant, it's cooling down, that on shore breeze been showers the lebanon. there be no one part of israel and turkey. the big picture causes to the dry one and the heat stood there in iraq. not record breaking anymore. but this area's been very hot. this edging ever. ever further into iran, for example, into, to run itself, which could see a new record as far as i can tow. the june records 378 me forecasting 39 on of augusta day on tuesday. hot all the same for the whole of africa. i've been begging trying to get you some more rave at somalia and can you press a little there?

that was the picture on monday and maybe most the radius i have to say for the west in the camry to get bomb. but that's the picture during tuesday, whereas for south africa it's all about to change and get wet and windy in the western cape. a whole dna of al jazeera to deliver news on behalf of the people who are subject to the decisions made by the pound. what do you feel about? will the general elect fill in december the fall for the old? anything. when you see big groups of people walking through europe, they're all individuals with children and lives with back stories is places become a complete track record. there is simply no way to put all these people. you have to hear all of them and to treat them with something that's in respects with

the me you want me to hold the reminder of all top. so with a group of republican and democratic senators in the us of agreed on a framework, but modest gun restrictions following a space of my shooting. it includes more background checks on buyers under the age of $21.00 and investment in mental health programs will properties and to mister protest have been demolished to the indian status pradesh authorities saying that only putting down illegal buildings. but rights groups have previously accused the governing b. j. p. of carrying out demolition to intimidate muslims, voters in france, casting the ballot. the 1st round, the parliamentary elections. president federal macros coalition holds the majority of the assembly, but he's been challenged by a left wing alliance. ukraine says russian shelling is ever done. it's

because caused a huge fire at a chemical plant where hundreds of civilians, i believe, to be sheltering. moscow has been focusing much of it's 5 high in the eastern region. the governor of hans says, ukraine still controls the chemical facility because of blood him is landscape insist ukraine will win the war, but he's asking allies for more ammunition and weapons. charles stratford has more from the capital keys. we came off the phone to a ukrainian deputy commander inside that city several the next one of only 2 cities . now that is not under full russian control in the loo ganske region, or don bass, that deputy commander saying to us that yes, there had been heavy shilling of that chemical plant. and that it was on fire. that chemical plant of boss, great, soviet built industrial complex that before the war used to produce fertilizes and building material. it's located in the south, east of the city. we understand close to the river close to the river that

separates the town. separate them from the town of lucy chanced, which he tells us is also getting heavily shelled. we asked him whether he could firm reports that we've been hearing of the last couple of days about hundreds of civilians sheltering underneath that chemical plant in severed the next. he was unable to confirm that he estimate stood up to 2000 civilians. may have died in several minutes amidst this heavy fighting. now this comes at a time when the ukrainians are complaining again that they don't have enough weapons from the west on those western weapons that they have been allocated are not getting here fast enough. so there are huge concerns yet again today for basically ukrainians ability to be able to defend that city. and for the up to what we understand could be around $10000.00 civilians either attract inside that city or unwilling to leave. a human chain has been solved in solidarity with ukraine.

outside of the european commission building in brussels, people are showing support for ukraine's e u candidacy. present bottom ins. lensky signed an application to membership 4 days after russia launched its invasion in february. the executive will make a recommendation next week, however, to grant candidate status, but the process could still take decades. another recent applicant for e membership is the ukraine's neighbor to the west. moldova, the former soviet state says it can be drawn into the conflict. moldova already has russian soldiers on its doorstep, but 1500 a station did the moscow buck breakaway region of trans history. a. russia says that part of a peacekeeping peace keeping agreement transistor here, as you can see here, shows the border with ukraine weld over one of europe's poorest countries reliant on cheap russian gas is government wants to change that and link its electricity grid with the use in march, the countries also take nearly half

a 1000000 ukrainian refugees the highest number per capita of any european country . but earlier i spoke to the mold david prime minister natalia, and who's here in de la. i asked her if it's difficult for her country to maintain its neutral stance. it is a very difficult situation and mold over has been hit by a shocks or multiple shocks, and one after another. ah, you know, the kind old countries were facing the consequences of the coven pandemic. in october we had a, an energy crisis. and are we were seeing high inflation, even before the war? and now, of course, or the consequences of the war are extremely dire. we do need to, ah, you know, maintain a balance or we need to, um,

you know, help our people understand how to get through these difficult times and oh, you know what comes next. so, are we, we are very certain about our european choice. and we hope that are the european union member states agree? russia obviously it says it's defending its russian ethnic speaking moldova, in trans mystery. and i come back to that question that the ra russian troops, us, and apparently bad for peacekeeping duties, yet there's never been any conflict to waive the majority of moldova and trans mistrial. so have you not told russia to remove its troops off your land? we need to have international law upheld and we need countries to be certain that their sovereignty and territorial integrity is protected under international law and the current multilateral framework of corporation. and

moldova has used this framework to constantly and consistently call for the withdrawal of the russian troops from the mold of an territory. there has been an agreement on this, and this has not happened a under i, you know, we continue to say that the troops are stationed on our territory illegally. and we continue to appeal to the international community to support us in ensuring that international commitments are upheld. we are a neutral country and this neutrality is not only enshrined in the constitution but is largely supported by our, our population. but of course we do have to consider, you know, what other guarantees of this neutrality and how this helps our moldova, to maintain it, sir, security and stability. chinese defense minister way thing. he is warning that

beijing will crush any move towards independence and taiwan. he made the comments on the last day of asia top security summit in singapore, the shangri la dialogue. jessica washington, as more from the conference, had a security summit in singapore. the most highly anticipated speaker of the 3 day conference took the stage with forceful words. they at your balloon he, we do not bully others, but we will not allow ourselves to be bullied. but if any one dares to attackers the people's liberation army would not hesitate to fight back troy, you assure speech that covered a range of regional flesh points and your we will resolutely crush any attempt to pursue taiwan independence. if anyone dares to succeed taiwan from china, we will not hesitate to fight. we will fight at all costs. analysts say, way fung her has made beijing's priorities clear. if you wanted to talk to audio

about what they're doing in asia, what they expect or what i want, and why the united states is actually responsible in china for the instability in the region. you speech way framed washington as a middling power one that tries to create instability in the asia pacific or in his was one that tries to hijack countries in the region to create division. in contrast, way says china's military is a 4th for p. and so it's really, as new defense minister has told out 0, there are many questions that need answered. we are saying a very significant build up by china is the biggest military build up that we've seen in the world since the end of the 2nd mobile. and it's really important that that occur on a transparent wife. the pacific has also been a topic of discussion at the summit and following increased engagement from the gene where richard malls says the stranger is revitalizing its relations with those countries. if we go out of the country to the work place,

they are interested the center of aaron casement, then the risk takes care of itself. we will become the natural partner of choice. we are very full for this opportunity. the g defense minister, one of the few representatives from the pacific fielded questions about his region, ties to beijing minister for that meeting with the chinese. of course everybody knows that we've met the americans. we've met the japanese, we met the chinese, we met the australians, you name, it organizes wrap up this year's summit uncertainty over the regions future remains intended to provide diplomatic avenues to help solve differences. it's also provided delegates the chance to wear their grievances for the world to see jessica washington al jazeera singapore. sir language limiting the amount of fuel people can buy per week. they plans to impose rations to deal with a severe shortage. however, the energy minister hasn't specified how much motorists will be allowed to purchase

. the government is under intense pressure after months of protests against the was economic crisis. since independence is also dealing with shortages of food and medicine due to a lack of foreign currency. but often, and this is more from colombo, it's a sort of a double edged sword at the moment. i mean, we've heard this announcement from the minister of energy content video saker a little while. oh, earlier today. the fact that he has no choice but to start registering consumers, and then basically giving them a guaranteed caught up a week. now it all looks good when he announces it, but obviously for consumers, it's going to mean that they're going to want to see this actually are put into action. what you see behind me is a busy patrol station air in the heart of colombo, at this station actually has fuel stocks, but there's an on ending line of he goes both petrol and diesel. there are 3 wheelers or the local taxes. there are essentially motorbike people who've been

queueing up for hours. this one gentleman who's just sitting a little bit off camera that's been here since 6 o'clock in the morning and he still hasn't got on the supplies he needed. now people obviously have much better things to do things like getting on with their lives going and putting of food on the table, earning their money or they cannot afford to spend a, you know, 234 years, sometimes 10 and sometimes as bad as 24 hours in frederick used sometimes at fuel stations which are closed. the bows is haven't even arrived yet. so things are really bad. so one thing that will happen if the rationing actually happens properly. people might be able to save a bit of time. they will have a guaranteed amount of fuel that they will be able to get. but given are the sort of chaos we have seen in recent weeks. our people will want to see that the government is able to actually do this. reporters without bought is as calling for

an end to impunity. in regard to the killing of al jazeera journal, assuring our actually it says that a profit investigation into sharing staff has still not been carried out. although it's been one months since she was shot in the head by israeli forces while on assignment and gene on the day of her funeral is ready, stalled the procession and started beating mourners, causing, pulled bare as nearly to drop her coffin that didn't stop found the palestinians from marching through occupied in jerusalem to take part in her funeral and burial . members of the international community of condemned her killing and continue to call for an investigation serene, was without reserve for 25 years, covering the story of these rarely occupation. she was known as the voice of palestine in a vigil has been held in kopec upon the beach in rio de janeiro for 2 men who went missing in the brazilian rain forest. bruno pereira, a well known defender of indigenous rights and dom phillips, the british journalists disappeared in the remote region last sunday. please say that disappearance could be linked to illegal fishing in the area, monica,
