which gave birth to the black live matter movement that prompted activity in belgium to the face to the king. leopold was the belgian colonist to calm down this enormous chunk in the center of the african congo as his own personal feast. them earning vos wealth for hey, men, for belgium, over the following decades. an activist complain that the kind of violence that was on least there in this kind of group who resort extraction continue to play the democratic republic of congo as it is now called to this day the de facing if those statues of king leopold is what seems to lead to the 1st 3, the royal family expressing regret for the colonial past. and now the ceremony in which she remembered to being with that. all right, welcome. thanks for that, malcolm web reporting is a delegation from c receives building

a remains of the independence leader saturday school. 60 years ago. i shall anchor is holding edge and bailout talks with the international monetary fund as it struggles to contain a spiraling economic crisis. and the government says it needs a $5000000000.00 lifeline. a lack of foreign currency has led to shortages of food and medicine, while fuel supplies and to to run out within days. we know fernandez is more now from the capital of colombo. the 10 member delegation of the i am of held meetings at the prime minister's office. that's a building you see behind me led by the chief of mission pizza brewer. now essentially sherlock has run out of options and he's hoping that the i'm, if we come through in terms of assistance because things are dire over my shoulder just and on the other side of the present. prime minister's office is fuel cues. and this is the situation around the country, kilometers and kilometers of cues as motorists tried desperately to secure the

supplies they need. and it's not just fuel, it's food, it's cooking gas, it's medicines, the government can no longer afford to pay for these. and that's the reason it's calling on the i m f. but the i m f has obviously a number of conditions we're hearing from the prime minister's office. that debt restructuring, or a pop proper plan. that re lanka must present in terms of how it proposes to pay back. all the money has borrowed is one of the key things that the international monetary fund wants to see from the government of sri lanka before it will take discussions forward. some of the things that it has insisted on is a proper tax regime or so that government revenues a can come up to a decent level. the other thing is an end to subsidies. so a very much a pointer that times are going to get tougher before they can even beginning, begin to get better or so as much as the i m f team is here. there are some tough decisions and tough times ahead. back to belgium, but

a different story protests being held against the rising cost of living there. labor unions calling from nationwide strikes. let's cross this to fasten. he's up the demonstrations in brussels and stuff. tell us more about the strikes and what they're about. well instead of going to the effect, reason offices are workers from mental industries, the public transport factor, house sector all here on the streets in brussels. today, tens of thousands are gathering here to protest against the rapidly dramatically increasing cost of living. prices have really gone up. the inflation is higher than it was in the last 30 years. more than 8 percent. oh, who prices have risen off the energy prices or going up already even before the war and ukraine started, but even after the war, it got a lot worse. so the labor unions have called for this strike. they are asking or

demanding the government to put up the wage is the wages. aaron, a belgium or under a cap of 0.4 percent. it's a law in belgium that allows it only to arise by this small number. but on the other hand, prices have gone up more than 10 percent 20 percent. so a lot of people are struggling here. and that's why to have full for this strike are on this next coming hours are set thanks for customer reporting that from breast french president, mental macro has lost his majority in the national assembly. his central coalition settings dozens of seats in an election that these french politics fragmented. a new left wing and launch by led by it is only militia, has emerged the main position take, you know, she just, you know, it's a totally unexpected situation. absolutely unheard of the collapse of the presidential party is total and no majority is presented. we have achieved the

political objectives that we had set ourselves in less than a month to bring down the one who with such arrogance, had twisted the arm of the whole country who had been elected without knowing what for. well, french far leah morrila pens party made historic gains with enough seats to form an official parliamentary group. that is despite losing the presidential election to macro and in april. so this is this one. this is our only object to defend the french on the face of the man with my car politics. we want to make sure you obtain nothing more than a minute or 2, and that's done. and we wish to have the means to defend our line of politics, to limit insecurities to take action against illegal immigration and also defending our purchasing power. our massive presence in the national assembly, which is historical, will allow us to do all that is let's cross live to parents now to the national assembly where jerry hall is standing by. so janet is quite a moment in front politic it is yes and you see

the national assembly behind me the nic. they enormous greek grain green gray wouldn't doors open to allow em fees in newly elected parliamentarians to come and collect their accreditation open only on this occasion that they offer an election and a bruising and humiliating encounter. it has been for a manual micron and his centuries coalition ensemble who have lost a 100 seats in the assembly. and the absolute majority that they had for 5 years that had allowed them to govern more or less with a free hand, that the narrative, not just of the last as you were here to get there. but in the media as well is often an arrogant president reelected just 2 months ago, who neglected his power base, took them for granted. barely came out and camp campaigned ahead of this election and has been brought low by this new coalition of the left and the fall left on the new melon. john determined to stand in his way and thought his plans to reform the pension system and the the benefit system. now of course,

the official opposition of the country. what it means for macro and the centrist is that in order to govern effectively in any, they've got to form alliances now in the parliament. and that will mean negotiations, they will likely turn immediately to the traditional right. let republicans with whom they've worked before the right winning, just 61 seats they've. they have a vast majority at vastly reduced. see, to count now the 4th force in parliament. it's not as easy as it sounds. joining forces, a number of them of already said they don't want any hook up with the ruling party, all in all, it leaves micron of the century staring down the potential nightmare scenario of deadlocked government over the next 5 years at a time of rising prices soaring inflation worsening economic crisis. right. and we just heard from marina penn who was hailing historic, gave yes indeed,

she is in the parliament in force. now her national rally party won only 6 seats in the 2017 and action now 809 seats. she's allowed to fight on, on issues like immigration, security, unemployment. and what that illustrates is that during the 5 years of microns centuries rule, the extremes on the left and right have consistently increased the reach, and that has clearly continued a pace. now, almost half of all the seats in the assembly are taken up by extreme political positions on the far left and the far right. are there anything that to general live comparison? still, ed here and al jazeera global aviation at a crossroads. we look at the challenges facing the sector as content who's the meeting of industry leaders and parades in st festivals, held across the united states to mark it's us public

submerged, and that has most people here to flee their homes and set up camp across the road on the national highway. now, as you can see, people are going up and down wading through this water to go and get their daily supplies across the state. about 4000000 people have been affected by the flood. a 150000 of them are in relief. camp now evacuation efforts are underway. the military has been drafted in to help with relief distribution as well as rescuing people, but incessant rainfall and continuous rainfall in many parts of the state have hampered those efforts. flooding is and, and will effect in the state. but this, the other reinforce, has been normally high according to the met department in june alone. the rainfall has been double of what this month sees every year. experts blame this partly on climate change, but also on increased human activity like development,

experts about not just corporate insecurity, safety related challenges, but others as well, including global challenges such as the war in ukraine, such as high oil prices, which are being translated into higher costs for flying for passages. and then there is the shortage and as once a year 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 end. the government 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 gcc mean region specific has done well because many of the, the 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. what countries are not having, i'm not able to pay back the their life and not just able to make profit. they're

competitive fairness celebrations and march as had been held in the united states to march june teeth. the national holiday commemorating the end of slavery. it is the 1st time it's been observed as a federal holiday ought to be signed into law by president joe, by from last year. but not all states gave work as the dale for some corporations have been accused of capitalizing on what should be a time of remembrance. many com mcelhanney is the director of the center for african africanist studies at johns hopkins university. and he says that june 18th isn't just about remembering slavery. it's also a political movement pushing for change. with the celebration, it was never simply about being free. it was now we are free, but we demand that freedom be more than simply being included in the society of our freedom demand equality, our freedom demand, the transformation of the political, economic and social system of the united states,

which still hasn't happened. i think this is why you had the black power movement coming on. the hills of the civil rights movement by people are full citizens. but then as a demand at the society transform at a more fundamental level, i think this is the same thing that came out of the black live matter movement. where the demands were that the society transform at a more fundamental level than mere inclusion. which is why you had culminating particularly after the murder choice floyd in 2020, not only a national, but a global series of protest. but then this radical demand for the funding and abolishing police and abolishing the prison system, which has been a long demand and the long objective of black radical movements. but i think this is a sign of how that takes on a national book becomes a part of the national conversation. i think if that is in focus in acknowledging june 18th and celebrating it. if that becomes part of the conversation that i think it can have some value nationally. but i think what it does also point out is that

this is the practice of the united states of the federal government states and local government is to knowledge and take something that like people have done cultural practices, political ideas, and then water them down and strip them of their ability to really transformed the society to really calling the question some of those long held assumptions that we have and make it something that is merely a celebration, as opposed to a political ah, so this dod zera, these are the top stories and a delegation from the democratic republic of congo has received the only known remains of an independent leader assassinated more than 60 years ago. the family patrice, remember, a received the golden tooth at a ceremony in brussels. sher lanka is holding urgent talks about bailout with the
