al jazeera, with down to the pace generations. this indigenous community has lived off of what the rain forest provides. but when they discovered that their territory was being invaded by gold mining projects all along their river, the community brought a lawsuit against a po to us government. you've won, you want the unprecedented ruling obliges the state to consult communities over oil and mining projects that impact their land and to seek their consent. the tiny, seen on the way community has won a huge battle, may not necessarily have the last word. since the court ruling does leave room for exceptions in the name of overriding national interests, ah,

a left, his former revel versus a millionaire who calls himself the king of tick tock colombians vote for a new president to me to anger about inflation and inequality. ah hello i am emily ang, when this is al jazeera alive from howls are coming up, falling his underway in the final round of parliamentary elections in france. the president's coalition hopes to hold off the challenge from a new leftist blown anger on the streets of tunisia. protested, keep up the pressure on the president as he tries to change the constitution and bangladesh is facing its worst flooding in more than 100 years. millions are affected, and ne, in india is also impacted. welcome

to the program. we begin in columbia where voters are choosing between a leftist former gorilla fighter and a millionaire who calls himself the king of tick tock it seen as the most fiercely contested presidential run off in recent memory. gustavo petro is a former mayor of the capitol bogota, and would be the country's 1st left wing president if he wins his up against business men. rodolfo hernandez, a political outsider who's been compared to former u. s. president. donald trump. he's focused on appealing to voters through their phones, mostly using tick tock for communication. alexandra ramp, yet he is in a bouquet or a monger, where we go for hernandez has based his campaign. he says hernandez, has you social media to dr. his support. lot of people also criticized him because they say that this is that campaign that has been strong and emotions, but quite weak when it comes on, the details of his policy has flip flopped on

a number of issues. if you speak to his campaign strategy, feel tell you that he's a different kind of fission is more of a man of with more than knowledge that he doesn't really need to know how the government work works. because what it'll do is to choose the best people for whatever the need. this might be for many, here is also sort of a jump into the voice, but a lot of columbia are so this stressful and so disgusted with traditional politicians that have decided to give an opportunity to adam. and if he got 28 percent of the votes in the 1st round, that he is expected to receive majority of the conservative votes of the people who voted them or establish more of the traditionally politicians back by the establishment. and that puts them very close to the possibility of winning this election today. and let's bring in to raise a bow, who's in the capital buckets?

teresa, you're following the picture camp and currently at a polling booth. do you think columbia will valjean left us later for the 1st time? well, there's lots of anxiety, lots of expectation about who is going to be the next preference. i'm here at the polling station, which is the largest polling station and what, what that thousands and thousands of people have been coming here steadily to vote and valid. interesting to know that the both of them are not in columbia is the manual. so people come here, they pick one balance, they pick their candidates and then they kept their value. so who we base it all, he is an economy he them warmer left. when gorilla is the former mayor of both that and he's proposing a reform, a deep reform of the colombian state. he's proposing a tax over hole he's proposing to we think that we're on track,

he's proposing to we think oil and gas exploration, but above everything else, he's proposing to fight inequality. something that continues to be a huge issue here in columbia. he's also a man who supported the protest that happened last year that ended up with dozens of people killed with hundreds of people injured. and that has been his platform supporting change in this country. if he wins, the selection is going to be the 1st time that a left wing president makes it too bad presidency in columbia. those who tried in the past were killed. so the fact that he already got here, it's historic in this country, a thousands of witnesses from both countries has been deployed across the country and each one of this tables, they are witnesses from both parties to guarantee the transparency of this election . there's at least 8 of serving into at least 8 international of serving mission, controlling this election. and of course, security in columbia security is

a major issue. thousands of police officers of soldiers have been deployed all across the country to guarantee the whole electron pro says this. there's a lot of stake in the selection. hm. it will never wins. sunday's vote. it's facing a country who has very steady economic growth and like many other countries in latin america by the country that has deep social issue, high poverty levels, millions of people who have been displaced by the conflict that continues to exist in the country. so there's a lot of stake, there's lots of issues that need to be addressed, and we'll, we'll have to see who wins this election on this sunday here in columbia. it's only going to be fascinating to see how it plays out to raise it by live for us in bogota. thank you. voting his underway in france as well, but for the 2nd round of parliamentary elections there that could decide the future of president menu microns reform agenda. the 1st round showed microns centrist coalition, just a head in and tie rice with

a newly formed left wing alliance. join a howl reports from paris. it is a parliamentary election that will define the limits of a manual macros power to enact reforms in his 2nd term as president, amid economic crisis at home. and on the international stage. just sorts of the volume the was with the my hope is to have a large majority for the presidential party. so bills and reforms that are needed can be voted to calmly. it's something that would be very difficult in a divided assembly. but microns centrist majority is at risk after a strong challenge by a left wing coalition under john luke manage on that look set to become the countries main opposition. at a time of economic and social crisis, people want decisive government. they want answers. what happens if they don't get more people on the street more demonstrations more he needs like crisis. i will say it's probably a legitimacy crisis that can lead to more social movements, for example. so that will be the real crisis on the streets. the outcome of the

boat them may signal the return of z liaison or yellow vest type protest, the blighted microns 1st term. what also seems clear is that the excitement of re manual macros, centrist political movement, neither of the left nor of the right has fizzled out in 5 years. there is real voter, disillusionment and apathy low turn out both the presidential election in april and also with these parliamentary ones now with a majority of registered french vote is not even bothering to turn up to vote in the 1st round last weekend. sure, sure this is a neighborhood of elderly people. young voters are not interested. they don't vote yes. you know, they're worth nothing. not one of them has any value. they are old con, auto, and bandits and france is not what it used to be. it raises questions about the legitimacy of a government endorsed by only a thin slice of the electorate. and it points to

a political landscape in which fewer and fewer french people feel they have a stake, or even much interest. jonah hall al jazeera paris and microns closest allies in the cabinet are hoping for reelection. while the members of the council of ministers had favorable results in the 1st round of voting and likely to pass through the 2nd 3 ministers are facing. and to have a challenge if they lose their seats in the national assembly, they'll also lose their cabinet posts. james shields is a professor of french politics at university of warrick. he describes the growing voter apathy in france. this is a paradox of these 2 closely aligned elections in the presidential election, michael was on the ramparts, seeing that the french voters had to some note to, to, to, to, to block the extreme right. now he's on the ramparts,

saying that the french voters must have known to block the extreme left. what the reflection is the effect that 5 years of micron and power has half hard on the political landscape. we know i central block a far right last fall left look and almost nothing in between. the electro calendar has been the same for the last 20 years and it's only now that we are seeing these records levels of abstention, 2017. and again to the i think the deeper reason is that we're in a prolonged period and trans of widespread disenchantment with politics. with politicians, with political parties of. busy straight on there is a bigger question even hanging over what you could call the democratic process, a growing public feeling that elections up point the says no point because it

changes nothing for the better. this was the reason most cited by abstention this last weekend. so i think we need to pete to that, and it's a sentiment that particularly affects younger, modestly educated, walking class voters rather most numerous and deserving the pulling goods. the daughter of going to pain president rodrigo de, today has been sworn in as the new vice president, sarah, to, to attack willis team office in less than 2 weeks, alongside the president elect that and then bung bung mon costs. he's the son of former late at ferdinand mac os. the pay $1.00 landslide victory in last month selection. suits in is in our protest is a back on the streets to oppose the president's plans for a constitutional referendum. next month. the main opposition party say thou boycott the vice as victoria gayton b explains a position politicians lee protests

preparing to move everest base camp because global warming and increased human activity is making it unsafe. sarah ca, rot reports. every year people arrive at base camp and nepal to fulfill a long life dream to climb the highest peak in the world. mount everest. what was once only achievable by lea mountain is, has now become accessible to thousands of tourists and climbers from around the world. and that's part of the problem. human activity coupled with global warming, is having a detrimental effects on every ecosystem. making the a sense on safe as an altitude of 5364 meters above sea level base camp lies on the kimball glazier sciences of warning. the lacy is melting into an alarming rates by as much as one me to every year. especially issue . busy melting glass year and the car basses as a big warning that maybe in 10 years, you know, we don't,

the normal classroom climb isn't shut his se, cracks and crevices appear over nights and it's putting their lives at risk. melted ice. so causing rock falls and can trigger avalanches in the himalayas in an attempt to protect the natural environment. inequities, government has decided to move every space cap to a new location and that's roughly 200 to 400 meters low. where there is no year round dice said kennedy, this is the right time to advocate and raise the boys together. and not only talk the boys we need to sort out. so yeah, they have been very congested. and every year, but definitely more than 1500 people shows the human ways has been polluted around 4000 lead to the year in his dumps at base camp every day. and because climate spend weeks on the peak adjusting to the altitude, they generate several kilos of waste, most of which is left on the mountain from fuel used for cooking and heating to

empty oxygen cylinders and the bands and camping equipment. all this has created a moral and an environmental debate on the human obsession to scale the tallest mountain in the world. thought a height of i'll just 0 to nash and move stuff. i is a professor in a critical geography at kings college london. it says more consequences of climate change are on the way climate science can tell us that we have 95 percent confidence, 99 percent confident, that all the averages that were in the past or the normal conditions that we used to in the past are not going to hold in the future if you're getting unprecedented floods in the dish or in china, or if you're getting visual males in the human lives, i think it is basically symptomatic or whatever we're used to in the past. it's not going to continue into the future, but the bigger issue is what to do, but overwhelming is that. and what to do about it is at the moment what we see in

india and china. many of the parts of the world is as if falling, it says in developmental trajectory of building infrastructure, occupational zones, floodplains, promotion of, of liberal engineering, fighting against the rivers. those are sort of the 1900 century early 20th century european troops, which are being replicated at the moment in the south with potentially get stronger constables hipley building of damage, building of roads, trying to build levies, trying to him in rivers. the size of the truck is going to have the kind of consequences that the senior u. s. health officials have approved coven 19 vaccines for children as young as 6 months. it means america's last remaining age group has been approved for the jap millions of doses. have been ordered for distribution and will be available from

next week. dr. william shaft is a professor of infectious diseases at vanderbilt university medical center. he says, pediatricians have been eagerly waiting for this moment. you know, if we just look at these children age 6 months through 4 years of age, up to their 5th birthday, thinking back just in the united states, over 20000 of them, 20000 of them have been hospitalized. there have been over 200 deaths in children. this is an opportunity to prevent children, small children from dying. and so it's very exciting. the american academy of pediatrics as well as the c. c. and people such as myself, are enthusiastic about this and are going to be encouraging parents to bring their children into their doctors to be vaccinated. first of all, they're safe. that's very important. parents mostly want to know about that. and

then on the effectiveness side, they should have a level of effectiveness against severe disease keeping children out of the hospital comparable to what we have for older children, adolescents, and young adults. in other words, that we think that they'll be about 80 percent effective as about as good as we can get with our current generation of vaccines. there will be, according to our surveys about a quarter of parents who will bring their children in very promptly because they have been waiting for this. and then the vast majority will be a bit more cautious. and we urge them to go to their doctors, their family doctors, their pediatricians ask their questions to the point that they feel comfortable in doing that. and i hope that that happened soon. again, the is port was once the preferred destination for cargo heading to many west

african countries. but a lack of investment has left it short of space and losing hundreds of millions of dollars every year. i'm and interest reports from banjo. you are after days of waiting a ship, offloads is cargo or the port up by june. a few kilometers offshore. other vessels awaiting that turn. as much as 80 percent of the cargo that arrives here is exported to other countries including the gumby as far like geneva, seneca like of modernization and expansion means the tiny country can't handle increased traffic and is struggling to maintain existing volumes. if autobahn eula has a key lent of 400 meters and 5 for, but that is a where we bring ships alongside. so the men business is to quantify shipping lines and the access to reserve budget one little andy terminal is also constricted in the sense that there's 6 to 3000 square meters of storage unit. as of

a little importers, an export to say, doing business here is becoming more expensive. officious, as much as 20 percent of the cargo meant for the gambia is being diverted to the west african ports. if you ask the government businessman, they're allowed to have their containers come through neighboring ports for cost, timeliness and things of that sort. but as i keep seeing, the abilene gumby and customer, we lose job opportunities and the taxes that we supposed to pay for. the taxman in 2019 the portal approaching a loss of succeeded $200000000.00. and while no recent figures are publicly available, economists say that amount has only increased to is prashant one to import. the government wants to open another in the south of the country to sell parts of synagogue and landlocked my label. my the countries not ports development is expected to have cargo delivery times. but that could cause the country up to $500000000.00 money.
