but essentially it stuck its head in the ground the government of the time and didn't do it, and right now they have their back up against the wall. things are really dire, sri lanka does not have the money, the foreign currency to pay for food medicine fuel. we've got fuel cues that stretch for kilometers and kilometers at every single fuel station in the country. now, just behind me, the building you can see the white ah edifice of the back is the prime minister's office, and that's where the i am. if staff delegation had its 1st session with the prime minister, with the central bank and representatives of the finance ministry. now obviously the consultations had started several weeks ago, but those were all virtual. but for the 1st time, we're having our 10 member delegation that's flown in to colombo are led by peter brewer, the senior. 8 are chief of mission that sat down for that 1st meeting, but we're hearing that these consultations will continue, or in terms of discussing how,

assistance as sri lanka has requested it. because the i m f does not provide assistance for debt servicing. she lanka, much show that it has got it acts, it's act together. it has a plan in settling the death in coming out of this abas, and that's where the i m f comes in to help with assistance. but in the meantime, we've had our essentially the indian government, the government of sherlock has asked for further support, particularly for fueled, we've seen such a lot of our sort of cues and things like that. australia has announced a some us emergency assistance for food and medicine. so all of these things kicking in, but the i, m f will look at taxes, raising taxes are cutting subsidies and things like that. so that seems to be the way forward for sure longer in terms of where they need to go. are certainly hard times before things get better. indeed. all right, we'll see how the discussions go. minova timing. thanks very much. lou. love him. 140. well, protests have been held in pakistan against the rising cost of living there. the

a congress that is in favor of him, not a complete majority, hasn't obama jaretha congress. but he has a good number of congress members, and dad is also a something that the signs that he could harbor success. in his turn. i saw peter will take off his in august for many, his government will empower the people in the country who have been ignored by authorities for years. but he said, well, as the cedar border, no manual micron has lost control of the french national assembly, his centrist, curly, and last dozens of seats in an election. that's left french politics. fragmented a new left wing alliance, led by john lic melisha, has emerged as the main opposition. while marina pen and her far right national rally party, were also celebrating after turning 8 seats into 89. so swan lets you as sure it, in this situation represents a reasonable our country given the challenges we have to face both that national

and international levels. but we've got to respect this vote, andrew, the consequences of his on that would be head, you know, she dress your, it sort of totally unexpected situation. one livers him before the derailment of the president's party is absolute, and we have a child or a political goal in less than a month. lead scroll lie mount to paris, general holland standing by there been monitoring event said so jonah, quite the political earthquake. tell us more well, let me point out to you behind me those enormous gun metal gray doors to the national assembly there. they are opened only on this occasion to welcome newly elected parliamentarians. you'll be turning up through during the course of the morning to collect their accreditations after. as you say, emmanuel macaroni centuries coalition crashed down to this morning, a bruising humbling night for them really losing

a 100 seats in the parliament and the absolute majority that allowed micron dissenters to govern with a free hand. over the past 5 years, the narrative is all an arrogant president reelected just 2 months ago. who neglected his electorate, who barely bothered to campaign night of the election. and who has been brought low by this new coalition of the left and the far left under the mileage on. now, the official opposition determined to what his plans to reform the pension and welfare systems. it means that in order to have any chance of governing, effectively macro will need to find new alliances in the parliament. he will turn in potentially protracted negotiations, almost immediately store to the traditional right lead republican with him. he's worked before they won just 61 seats, the full political force now, but not as easy as it sounds already. a number of them have said they are not interested, you know, hook up with the ruling party. and so it leaves mister micron and his centrist,

staring down the potential nightmare scenario of 5 years of protracted of deadlocked government at the time of soaring inflation and worsening economic crisis in trumps. and major elements of this election has been the rise of the far right oh yes, marrying the pen fresh from her defeat against micron in the 2nd round of the presidential election has taken her national rally party to new heights in the assembly behind me. here they went in to this election with just 6 seats. they come out with $89.00 seats, a real force. the 3rd force, in fact, in parliament now. and it is an indication that the consistently continued rise of positions on the extreme left on the extreme right during 5 years of macro centrist rule has continued a pace. now almost half of all the seats in the parliament behind me are held by extreme political views on the far left. and the far right. janet,

assessments. it sounds like you don't lebanon needs an use of contract in order for it to solve this problem, informed opinions, international communities, on the goal of this my security. and that creates a government, has knowledge to discuss in depth analysis of the dates, global headlights. this is going to be very hard to explain to the public that instead of pushing back, no, it's actually got 2 members inside story on al jazeera. ah ah, the me again, you're watching how 0 reminder about top stories. this and sure lank are, is holding urgent bailout tools with the international monetary fund. as it

largest population group to the north is the horror region. and our communities are, if you have his 2nd largest group, conflicts have largely been fueled by groups demanding more land and power with attempts to drive out those they regard as out site is ok. let's get more from the independent journalists. i'm going to get you who joins us from amazon, and some tell us more about this attack of 200 people being killed surface. what? well, what we know so far as a more than 230 people have died. that number is expected to go much, much higher this morning, the prime minister prime minister r b. i am at tweeted saying his priority, our priority. he said, referring to his government is to bring peace and security. but it's been a challenging few years to eat your band ethiopians. ah, there was an attack her last week and gun bella were a majority of the city, was overpowered by an oral mo, liberation front,

which the government has accused of being a terrorist organizations. and this organizations, when they're defeated somewhere else, they tend to react. and other parts of ethiopia, as we've seen yesterday this last weekend, are there, which are, again, at least 230, or i'm hara people offer ethiopia were killed. but once again, that number's are expected to go much higher and the government is expected to react as pressure to act as mounting ryder in some to tell us more of the context of this is a country spiriting, you know, widespread ethnic tensions. yes, nick, as you mentioned her, it's europe as a diverse nation. it has more than 90. ah, different ethnic groups in this country are for 120000000 people. i'm some blame

the previous government which had ethnic federalism that was implemented to empower of minorities. but instead, what it has really done to ethiopians is a break that the idea for citizenship. all of a sudden, if your parents are having breast her, their ethnic background instead of their citizenship, everyone feels they're either an am hara or, or more or groggy, or segue and so on. and again, showing that term, it hasn't really reached a how it was intended. and it has really broken the system of citizenship and we see it. and many, many parts of the nation. there was a, during the previous government, ethiopians were used to carry an id that identified themselves not us on the open, but based on their ethnic backgrounds. and that really pushed their money. if you'll penske from a really going outside of their ethnic out based our society and that has really

touched the core of what it means to be uneasy. open in this country shamika that you on the context that attacking the raimie region. sam, thanks look, thank you. nato sexy general has worn the war in ukraine could last for years. since dalton burge is urging western countries to be ready to provide long term support to keep fighting, still raging in the south and the east of the country where russian forces have been making slow but steady gains. ukraine is calling for more heavy weapons to push them back. while the use special representative for human rights has visited the devastated towns of up and in boucher and their ukraine's capital of cave, he says, well cannot turn a blind eye to crimes committed during russia's invasion. we cannot shook our shoulders and say this as part of a part of a conflict. these are crimes. crimes have to be investigated. and those responsible brought to a tens of thousands of virginia refugees have held

office on my shop is filled with water and it's damaging a lot of equipment inside to please visit w i. sally willinger us arms tiered is the worst effected. heavy p monsoon storms caused flooding in april nonstop rain over the past few days had inundated dozens of districts. evacuations are under way, and the military has been called to assist. more than a 150000 people have been moved to temporary camps. the situation had been a little grim because though there had been heavy in folders as opposed to what is and the whole of us armies are in under. under that one dumb depends or did it varies from place to place that also floods in landslides, in the neighboring makalya and to prostate. while in bangladesh, more than a dozen people have died and at least 4000000 others are stranded. continuous rainfall is hampering relief efforts, and both countries have drafted in the army to help authorities in india, one several reversed could burst their banks. weather forecasters said the rain

summer, been job aids at the summit for us and his arm. and se summit say the least is plenty to chew on high oil prices, war inflation emissions. it's a challenging time to say the least. one, sooty, but the moved here from international transport agency, the outside people is a feed. they're talking about an uptick and comparing the numbers off travelers to be pending levels to doing the pen them in to where they are now. seeing that they are hopeful that by 2022 they're going to be able to reach that really high order of a getting airlines back into profit. but as you said, there are a number of challenges which faced not just the airlines and passengers as well, including forward related restrictions. what is different this time around is a lot of people are not wearing masks a lot more people are vaccinated. but that does not mean that this is the bold industry standard all over the all over the world. because airlines countries,

airports are not necessarily talking to each other. we've been speaking to industry experts about not just corporate and security safety related challenges, but others as well, including global challenges such as the war and ukraine, such as high oil prices, which are being translated into higher costs for flying for passengers. and then there is the shortage and as once you was putting it to us, that this is not an industry which is like a taxi, where you can switch it off and on and in. the governments in the wake of the pandemic have not really dealt with the crisis as the expected them to. so now there is a scramble to re hire all those people get back those resources back into order. the gc see mean that region and specific has done well because many of these airlines, including the one here in potter, did not completely go off the grid, but other areas including europe and especially africa. there is a really big struggle and some airlines that even facing up to a $1000000000.00 being stuck in the africa region where countries are not having,

i'm not able to pay back these airlines and not just able to make profit. they're barely trying to break even as armor ab that she makes up. what are the 3 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions? something but passenger passengers are becoming more more concerned about it. they look at ways of trying to deal with is said there is it. as you, as you, we know that as soon as on prices and fuel prices go up, there is another push from all sides to talk about renewables and alternative sources. and that kind of falls below the radar. once the. busy prices and food prices come down. now, here in doha, the focus seems to be again, on not just calculating your carbon footprint, be at the airlines. the passengers are the true but also to raise awareness because this is an industry, as he said, which contributes a great deal to global emissions. and it wants to go call the neutral by 2050. it

is again, a big challenge because of not just the way the industry functions, but how it denies purely on hydrocarbons, how it is ineffective and it, there's a lost a lot of waste of energy. so now industry experts are trying to come out with solutions and res venice. there is an application that has been launched in the, in the session to try and tell people about their carbon footprint to try to tell people about how they can not just measure before going, getting on that plane. that what is going to be there. a c o 2 emissions on that flight, but also to try and manage it and reduce it. so it is a long way away from longer knife of lithium batteries from getting into other industries, solutions where there might be greener, aviation fuel. but all of those topics are under discussion and experts, including industry analysts are hopeful that this is going to be a step in the direction where experts would come together and try and find solution

. not just for the sake of higher fuel prices, but for a greener planet. arnold palmer, thanks to that a summer, whichever report enough from their swimming world governing body fina has voted to restrict the participation of transgender athletes and elite women's competitions. 71 percent athena's member organizations voted in favor of the change male to female transgender athletes will now have to prove the have nots undergone male, puberty or the new policy as the strictest by any olympic sports body. i and all of you have an obligation to every single one of our athletes. we should not favored one athletes over the other equality is also a key principle for us. this is why we are faced with such a delicate balancing act. we have to protect the rights of all

our athletes to can beat but we also have to protect competitive fairness. a memorial has been held in honor of al jazeera journalist, hearing aqua sunday march 40 days, and she was killed is ready forces shot sharing in the head while she was on assignment. and jim aid in the occupied westbank. neither abraham was that was her . oh it kind humble and strong woman with an infectious smile. these are some of the qualities people here say they remember about shooting abruptly. i mean, come in an official ceremony marking 40 days since is there any forces killed her palestinian say they lost a member of their own family? a presence they came familiar with in the past 25 years. a highly respected journalist who never thought she was to senior for any story. i think there is no other choice except like and love to was. she was honest. celine was

diary. so leon was everything good and was a palestinian official read a speech on behalf of president pamela bass. he said she'd in and her reporting exposed truth and irritated the occupation. ah, there's no doubt among palestinians here as to who killed kitty. many have signed a petition demanding her killers be held accountable. they want the international criminal court to investigate. who lana if it could be him, we rejected a joint investigation. we did not give them the bullet, but we urged that the rifle that killed abo o'clock be submitted to the i c c. because the mom she is killing shocked many people across the middle east and beyond. at home. it's almost impossible to miss the impact she had, or even from inside is really jails. palestinian prisoners managed to smuggle drawings they painted for shooting oh shit. he never lived to see palestine liberated from these radio occupation. the palestinian government spokesperson said

she will be remembered in history books. she leaves the legacy of a bridge, journalists, many hearsay will remain in their hearts and minds in her life and in death. the daughter of palestine has been a unifying figure to palestinians across the political spectrum. neither of raheem, elijah theodora romanella, the occupied westbank. ah, or let's have a quick check of a headline here in our desert and sri lanka is holding urgent bailout talk to the international monetary fund as it struggles to contain a spiraling economic crisis at the government says it needs a $5000000000.00 lifeline. lack of foreign currency is led to show.
