and left his former rebel 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'm emily, ang, gwen. this is al jazeera alive from dough house. so coming up in the final hour of polling in parliamentary elections in france. the president's coalition hopes to hold off the challenge from a new leftist block anger on the streets of tunisia. protest is came up the pressure on the president as he tries to change the constitution and bangladesh is facing its worst funding in more than 100. millions are affected, and ne, in india is also impacted.

we begin the program in columbia where voters are choosing between a left, his former gorilla fighter, and a millionaire who calls himself the king of tick tock. it seen as the most fiercely contested presidential, one off in recent memory. gustavo petro is a former mayor of the capital bog eta, and would be the country's 1st left wing president if he wins. he's up against business. men were dull fo hernandez. so political outsider has been compared to form a 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 standing by in the book, kara manga the campaign headquarters, ult hernandez. but 1st, let's go to, to raise a bow in the capital budget, sir. hello there, teresa, you're following the picture camps. so we'll, columbia voting a left is late for the 1st time. do you think over

here the voting process is still ongoing and we're one of the largest polling stations and people have been coming years steadily all morning. so that's a big question. is what we are in columbia ready for a left wing precedent? it's interesting to know and who is going to be through. he's an economist, a former left wing gorilla. he's also the former mayor of all that who promising profound reforms in this country, among them, increasing taxes, rethinking the war on drugs in columbia, rethinking oil and gas exploration, and expectation in this country. some something that crucial for columbia the economy. he's promising to fight hunger and inequality. and this is a discourse that inspires many in columbia today, mostly because of what's been going on in this country in the past years, doing different demick horizon poverty, right, and inequality. but the big challenge that paper of faith is today is that he's

passed, continues to in a way alley and a to many who cannot forgive his role of being a left wing gorilla country where the left has been, historically ss a been associated with the left wing rella, so we've been talking to some of the people here and many are saying that they're afraid that if federal wins this election, that columbia could become the next to venezuela. and that's a serious concern in this country that has been millions of been if we length flea and the economic crisis that's happening in benefits today. so if it makes it to the presidency, it would be historic because it would be the 1st time that a left wing leader makes it to the president in columbia. in the past to all of those who tried had been killed for the fact that he already got here. it's a historic there go for concern among the people here about the possibility of fraud. this is something that to go double paper has been racing during the campaign. in fact, just a few hours ago,

he made some comments about the fact that they were not allowed to verify the software are involved in this whole process. also the fact that some of the voting cards had been marked with a blank boat and those cards were being distributed so voting irregularities is a serious concern because of what happened during the legislative elections where many felt hundreds of thousands of both belonging to a better party were not counted at all, and then during the final tally, those votes appeared and they had a crucial role. so there is a major concern that something like this could happen again among many of those who are going to vote for better. however, the government is saying that transparency is guaranteed that there are at least 8 international observers in the country mani during the selections that there's thousands of witnesses distributed across the country. witnesses will belong to both parties that are in many of columbia's remote issue. so we're gonna have to see what happens in today's election, but certainly there is

a lot of tension because there's a lot of fe, columbia has been a right arising inequality. there's a deep social problems that need to be addressed and that's why today's election, this crucial for many other people here is going to be fascinating, say how it plays out. thank you very much. to raise a bow live for us in bogota. let's bring in alexander ramp yeti now, who's at the appalling station in will car, a monger, alexandra, your following hernandez, who's an outside chance to win? what's been his campaign strategy? well and, and then this campaign has been one of the most surprising successes and one of the most disruptive and the recent history of columbia. just a little over a month ago, a few people knew who he was. the others thought that he was just sort of an oddball outsider, with little chance to actually become president there, or even to be able to cross to run off any said he came in as

a pricing 2nd and campaign that was essentially based on one issue that i'm getting rid of corruption and that that mostly was done on social media in particular on tick tock. he is that his health, the claire king of pick talk also on the ground. he had the square key be the with reg, it's own music where he was the doing exercise is or, or sure last with, with a chain around is neck, promising to go after the leaves, promising to get rid of all corrupt politicians. and somehow that has work not only here and look at where people are obviously very excited that the idea of having one of their own as presidents, but across much of the country, he got 28 percent of the vote in the 1st round. but then the traditional

establishment has been that quick to back him against the fear of what a possible, a true less the power could do in columbia. some of the things that i bought was talking about in her intervention. now people are also of course creepy sizing. a lot of the elements of his campaign though, the fact in particular that while they have been powerful on, on an emotional level, he has given very little details of a lot of the policies that he would try to put in place. if indeed he became a president, the and the people here will tell you that they don't care though if she doesn't know very much about how to govern the country at national level. his campaign strategy, she has said that putting on this is more men of wisdom and not so much about knowledge about that. that's not important. but i think that the key issue here is that there are a lot of people in cologne gap. there are disgusted by traditional politicians.

they want to see somebody new a power, but are afraid of the becoming the presidents. and so are backing those put this just because she's not fatal and he's not part of that lead. the big question here though, is that now that we know that essentially the traditional conservative parties are supporting him at least that implicitly, p. if that might make some of his both there's the side effects to go for pets. so that's something that spectrum is fasting, hold on. one thing that is clear and that everybody agrees on is that the country is deeply divided on this issue a bit. dorothy wants change, but they are divided on what that means. and that this could be a very, very close election, possibly among the type the results that we've seen in decades in the country shirtless and no shirt lesson wearing zone chinese certainly

a lasting memory. thank you very much. alexandra ram, p s e. with that update from car amanda. let's head to france now, and it's the last hour of voting across the country. in the 2nd round of parliamentary elections, the 1st round showed president to menu microns. central coalition. just ahead in a tight rice with a newly formed left wing alliance is actually butler is following development for us from paris. hello, natasha. it looks like voted turn out has been low for this election just as it was in the previous poll. yes, voter turnout, pretty much the same is sir 2nd and final round of the parliamentary elections as it was in the 1st round a week ago. and that is a low less than the half of those eligible to actually cast their ballots. have done soon as something that we've seen a trend in france in elections in the last few years. people are increasingly disengaged from the political process. they feel fed up of politics and politicians

and increasing number of people saying that she just wants to go out and vote. however, of course, there are many who have chosen to vote, and they are concerned by a whole range of things, inflation. the rising cost of living, of course, has been fueled by the war in ukraine, but also climate change education, the health and social justice. not that point of social justice. i'd like to bring in our our guests to suffer benet jessie joins us. she is a, an increase in inclusive, 80, and diversity expert. thank you very much. deed for joining us. suffer emanuel macro has said that he wants his 2nd term. one of the founding aspects of his 2nd term to be about equality between women and men. but his campaign has been somewhat overshadowed of the last a week or so because a couple of ministers in his government have been accused of rape. he says though, that of course justice should prevail. and there is a presumption of innocence. but do you think that's really affected this campaign?

i don't think that he really affected diskin pain in the fact that it was not really damaging to his campaign. it mostly served the position. so they used this tool and are used to numbers and starts to gather more votes to gather more electors. but to him, people still elected him. and even when we asked them why they left him, they never talked about gender equality than ever praise him. for like making things happen and that's the problem. and even when we ask the opposition, even when we ask people why they don't like emmanuel medicine, they still answer about the war in crane. refugees, europe, but they never speak about gender equality. so no, it doesn't mean it's not really damaging to complain and even government. so what would you say that micro future government would have to make up? all that is should do for equality between men and women. i think that

there is true like 3 main points that we should talk about more. the 1st one is education. of course we have to talk with children. we have to talk to the future generations about what gender violence is, what gender equality is. and also about the l g b t q plus rights because it's also a question of a gender. we also have to develop more equality and workplace. we need to reduce the pay got, we need to give more money, more resources to women so they can evolving society to a point where they're equal with men. we need to take we need to make companies be accountable for their recruitment processes. that should be more transparent. the sorrow salaries that also should be more transparent. so yeah,

and last point is that we need to vote for people that are going to change d p. how the government is now functioning. we need to give more responsibility to more power to women inside the government and not to just put them in very stereotypical places. so yeah, we've spoken to people here, they've been coming to vote and not one of them has talked about gender equality has been one of the concerns besides that disappointing. it's absolutely disappointing. we, under the 1st presidential term, we talk about 622 from the sides. that huge. we're talking about 54 fem aside. and when you say famous i do you mean women who have been killed by that partners with their husbands in killed because they are women? and that's the important thing. so we're talking about $54.00 from the sides since the beginning of 2022. and i knew in my point,

is not really working on the deepest part of the problem. she's working on the very shallow missile. he's developing measures about how teenagers should wear clothes that are repeating or not. and not talking about trends for piano, not talking about gender violence, not talking about domestic violence in off or gender quality. one of the issues that you feel that has been perhaps overlooked or overshadowed in this campaign. we'll have to see what happens once we get results suffer, but i just thank you very much indeed for joining us. an experts, as i said in include 50 and diversity embarrass and the results will have estimated projections in just under an hour here in raleigh matches when balance stations cross country close. okay. no doubt we will cross back to you when that happens. thank you very much. for the update, it's actually about live for us in paris. still ahead on al jazeera threatened by melting glass is nicole considered a relocating man ever base camp. a tiny country with

a tiny port is having big problems with ship traffic. why began struggles with inputs matter to the entire region. ah, well the winds have died down the atmosphere is a little bit less dusty than to the go for the lack of prevailing breeze tends to mean this rather warm water give you a much more humid feel. so particularly nissan service, department, doha, it'll feel quite humid by day and even more. so at night, the average temperature, doha, is about $42.00, sometimes are above average, misty mornings. humid noise is given that timely of tick, the july and august where it can be said to be rather unpleasant, that the on shore breeze keeps things much cooler in the levant. and once again,

we got shows in turkey. another thing that might pull your eye is what's happening over here. northern pakistan, afghanistan, and further north that this is colder than usual by quite a few degrees. for example, cobble should be around about 30 markets down to 20. was rain for these next couple of days in between the 2. it's hot and dry. of course, the most part that extends down to the horn of africa tries, we writes, is hard to get very much read somali or kenya. or indeed, ethiopia that are still a few showers, but a change as well as probably to be noticed further south in the western and especially the northern cape, where this rate is becoming persistent and temperatures with it dropping cor significantly. ah gotcha, one of the fastest growing nations in the world, ah, the contract needed to oakland and develop it into national shipping company to
