with compassion, al jazeera world, a selection of the best films from across our network of channels. ah, this is al jazeera ah. hello, the harmony watching the out. is there a news? i locked my headquarters here in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. strikes in belgium, all flights out are set to be cancelled as thousands protest against the rising cost of living. also, more than 60 years after his assassination, the remains of con, goes 1st elected leader are returned to his family. friends divided the far right and left, make gains as president macro loses control of the national assembly and seeking

a bail answer. lanka begins talks with the i m f on how to address soaring food prices and the fuel shortage in sport. a decision that sent shock waves around the sporting world, so means governing body rights to ban transgender cleats from a neat women's events. ah, welcome to the program in belgium. protests are being held against the rising cost of living. it's the latest and biggest day of action planned by labor unions. they're demanding better pay more talks on salaries and working conditions and greater investment in the public sector. tens of thousands of people are expected on the streets and brussels airport cancelled all departure flights and spring instead, boss and who's in the belgian capital and stepped. this seems to be a reflection of what happened in england just

a few days ago. there's deep frustration growing across europe about the cost of living. i absolutely. these are costs are really rapidly increasing. people are really struggling on it. so quite an impressive turn out here. been russell. so tens of thousands of people here marching through the city center. making clear that they are really angry and really fed up that their wages are not increasing, but the prices are and the prices are really high. now. it started with the energy prices, but now although for all kinds of goods are now more expensive coffee back to to bowls. that whole paying more than 20 percent more now in just a couple of months it started already before the war in your brain. but since the war started, the prices have really gone up very sharp. so the 3 main labor unions here in

belgium have fall for a channel strike. it's already leading to k, else at the main airport and brussels. a lot of work is that the airport are here right at this rate, and brothels, also in other transports access to train taxis. a lot of people are here, the health sector. they're all joining in. they say they're really want some changes. now the wages are under a cap here in belgium. they are not allowed to go up by more than 0.4 percent. well, the costs are already the inflation is more than 8 percent, but it's a huge gap and that's why they are now today. of course the, the government most probably in the conundrum about how to respond to that. it's looking at how barriers capital cities are trying to deal with again across europe . every government has their own approach. absolutely what the government has been going also what you see in other countries in europe is handing out some subsidies to the poorest people so they can actually

afford their gas bill to their electricity bails who have really gone up some more than 200 percent. but that's not enough because that's only for very selected grove of people. i'm also, it's not enough for these people to actually pay for their food. so more has to happen. and what the bound him labor unions really want to do is to have a negotiation made a government to make sure that this law that basically gaps their wages has to be reform. there has to be through negotiations. they say because of the high rise with a lot of companies actually making profit, a lot more profit that they had before. so the gap between the 4 and the rate is increasing and that that's something they really want to discuss. but it's a huge gap, and a lot of people are worried for very difficult time to have that vast majority in brussels, thanks very much, that belgium has handed over the last known remnant all the democratic republic of congo assassinated independence leader to delegates from the country

the family of patrice lumber, received his golden tooth during a ceremony at the royal palace in brussels, lamar played a major role in the aussies fight for independence from belgium, and he was abducted and assassinated in 1961. millions congolese were killed under colonial rule. while join even now from brussels as lilyanne by e, she's a co founder and co director of african futures, action lab mit which focuses on racial justice, colonialism and slavery. good. have you with us on the program and thank you very much for your time. is a poignant moment really for the lumber family, but if there is only half a tooth left of the country's 1st prime minister, one really does wonder what happened to the rest of him and how hi. thank you so much for inviting me and, and i think again, it's a, it's a brand to our, to, to put this, this artist initiative into

a broader context. and what we know from, from the remains of the body is that the, we have to consider the context of the association. so it has, his body has been a dissolved in acid. and the policeman wasn't, wasn't his assassination, are kept, he's ah, is fingers in his tour. and that's what the investigation are. that's what a are when the commission on my commission that has work on the circumstances of entity, this, of his, of instigation has revealed. and in 2001, but after that, after the 2001 lamar commission, there is also a try that has been launched by our buyer by his family. in this short, this friday is still going on 10 years after after that, or was a very long story that still exposed congo and of course

belgium. the belgian king came to the darcy earlier this month, but without an apology. but with regret, is it enough for the country that sort of continues to wrestle with its colonial past? ah, yes, um. i think its now when we have seen a window within the way, like a bachelor is dealing with a he's colonial pass tour of that of the calling of parts in d. r. c. in iran, in burundi. most of the time it has been, ah, the regrets are there, there are, there are merely are pure a symbol lake gestures. but when we are there, when we look at the different initiatives are being taken place because there is other, the special commission in charge of examining the better calling of us. we can also look at the army expressed. are children that have been adult, abducted in the different a, d r c wound, deanda and randa. are when you look closely to this different initiatives where we

realize that it's some of the, the request, the denounced firm concerned community is concerned, get things are not taken into consideration. so the, we are, belgium is willing to take very similar gestures, very simple and easy ads, but the acts of with pairing are so ah, allowing justice to a to happen. this is not happening. and it's not happening. whether is it is in here in belgium, or it's not happening when we look in the different countries where it has a, it has its legacy. i mean, there is actually a listener, sorry to interrupt. there is a lesson to be learned here, isn't it about the, are those that were subjugated under colonialism and the colonists? where does this leave sort of the relationship now between both the d r. c and belgium in terms of how they move forward. because if there is this, as you say, you know, underlying feeling of accomplishment that there's no sort of

final ending, or you're not drawing aligned on to this matter. it's like a festering wound, isn't it? it's not, i would say that we have to look at this at this aspect on 2 different levels. first of all, you have to look at the way the, the form of colonized. i mean, population from, from a colonized, countries are, are of what they request in their access to justice here in, in belgium. but also within the, within the context of the d r. c. booley and rhonda relationships. and i think there are these multiple demands that are not, are not sufficiently heard listen to, they are not sufficiently where the debate is not or is not sufficiently taking place were taken seriously. and the oppression is more that the better state is

willing to close the bit rather than to open it. it was a different aspect whether the concern, the restitution of human romance and restitution are about whether it concern international development or trade a trade relationship or more like these international, the ones we have like a different a series of domains where these past is still strong structured in the present and in where the, where the debate is not, is not happening is not taking place and where the focus is more on this very easy . see for us, we just see what happens through sent me the rest of that as i certainly continues in brussels for the 1000000 m. b. thank you for joining us. thank you very much. present middle now chrome has lost his majority in the national assembly. his central coalition shed dozens of seats in an election that leaves french politics quite fragmented. the new left wing alliance, led by john mcmillan, shall,

has emerged as the main opposition to it. 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 4. 04 i. li, the marina pens palsy made historic gains with enough seats to form an official parliamentary group. she lost the presidential election to macro in april, well, during the holiday following events forth from the french capital. hi jane. i mean, not quite the result, but macro was looking full but a great result for the right. yes. a good night for marina penn very far from a good night for emmanuel micron and his centuries coalition ensemble. a bruising humiliating result really losing

a 100 seats in the parliament and their absolute majority with which they governed with more or less a free hand for the past 5 years. mister micron will now need to form new alliances in parliament. if he's to get any legislation through either on a case by case basis or with some formal hookup, he'll start talking almost immediately to the traditional right, the republicans with whom they work before the republicans have 61 seats. he needs backround 44 seats to cross the line, the majority line to get anything through failing, which of course, the prospect looms of dead blocked government over the next 5 years at a time of economic crisis. and that's not his only problem. his centrists, of course, increasingly hemmed in now in the parliament by rising forces on the left and far left. john luc manage on as we've seen, but also on the far right marine the pen, increasing her seat share from 6 in 2017 to 809. this time round. she says she'll

sigh told on issues like immigration, of course, security unemployment. and she has pointed out that her party is now the 2nd largest party in the parliament. if you look at merely parties not coalitions ahead of john luc malin jones from san bowed. here's what she have to say. who is opposed to consider? cuz i think that everyone considers that this is a victory for the hot dump them on us or not will entering the assembly with a very powerful group of m. p. 's were the 1st opposition party ahead of left home and to me. and consequently, we're going to be able to work on the position as i had requested from the french people. we will operate with full power, with all the means that are granted by the constitution to an opposition group, which is the 1st one in the family. well, gender, there is a big issue, a question about whether macro can push forward with his policy decisions because many of those issues are very unpopular across, across the french to sport on

popular indeed. and indeed there may be consequences of that. he certainly will try to do things like raise the pension age and reform, the welfare system, jobs benefits and so on. but remember, his 1st term, emanuel micron was blighted by the la zone, the yellow vest protests against economic injustice. the see the certainly there for something similar. now there is a cost of living crisis going on in front of getting worse, affecting the worst off people when take kindly to the prospect of deadlock government. there's also a big issue of participation. the majority of french people didn't even vote in this election among the youth, the 18 to 24 year old vote, 3 quarters didn't take part. i simply don't believe and have faith in that politicians to solve their problems. and so the likelihood is, at least a high chance is that they may take those problems to the st. joe's whole in power

source. thanks very much for the update. let's get more on this from august alberta . man, no, he's the john money professor of the european union law and policy at the gc parents join the line from the top with a mr. mano. so don't quite the result that micro was looking for. so what happens next? well, as we said and discussed sir microns presidential election collision, i didn't really managed to gather an absolute majority, but it remains at the largest of parliamentary group. so is he to ation? he's not so desperate for him and for his party, but certainly these leaves us with a very sleep the annual scenario. we have the parliament we've, which is dominated by, on the one hand these coalition which speak to lose on the left and des, exceptional record high number of. busy by right, members of the european of the not of the french parliament that they're gonna be making his life. betty very difficult. so they only possibility for micron now ease

to form or trying to form a coalition at government in these inevitably we left the effect of changing the way in which the ambitious agenda by the president following at east a reelection was pretty much presented to the french elect right? then we can see a couple of scenarios. the 1st scenarios he's there is it is really about mr. my crawl and his own party trying to reach acquisition. we've the, it's more natural allied that basically means the french are conservancy, party them a puberty cow, which might be enough to gather a majority within this parliament. but he's certainly not guaranteed at to deliver on a variety of policies, which are more centralized on the center left and therefore won't be endorsed by the conservatives at the same time. so if a mr micron, trying to get some alliances on the left. well, only some of these groups which will not necessarily come together as one coalition

we'd be accepting in the 2nd. so let me, let me just jump in that. let me just jump and i, mr. albano. because obviously this is the intricacies of the political holes trading that you're talking about. now we then have to discuss, i suppose, really the fragmented policy. because if he is whole striding and he's not to go, he's of mccoy. gonna have to give and take when it comes to policy and what you can push forward. where do you think the problems are going to arise in terms of a that you might say the gulf between those political full trains of thought? is it going to be over employment rights? is it going to be, or of a foreign policy, or the relationship with the e u? i think all those issues would be at the center of his effort to find a new balance mister macro. when he entering to the political space in france in 2017 said he didn't belong to the left. he didn't belong to the right. but now we doubt the left or the right is not going to be able to cover. so it is pretty clear

that these eggs, this size of forming a coalition government is not something usual in french polity. this something that has to be invented in this why some of servers argued to day that he might even try to be solved the parliament into god to early election as we witness a few months ago in spain with his goal. well, we don't know where these reinforce each party by pushing the so called republican from this idea that many voters who didn't show up the sy my actually show up, you know, the to get more support for his own century party. oh, he's not the only one policy through domestic policy, these would be very affected by these recommendation of the political landscape with over 30 political parties in these national assembly, of course not least, were very unsettled society and a very unsettled you might say government, it's going to confuse not only the french, but also their neighbors, there is no doubt dead. the consequences and repercussions of these electoral

outcome will be felt well beyond france. mister micron acted as the major leading force for european integration since 2017. in his very ambitious fe, there at least the agenda will encounter much more obstacles if he is on parliament at ho won't be able to side at with his own ambitions. so desperately clear that he, we make the advancement of many european integration processes from the defense to the john procurement or energy in this particular geopolitical moment. even more complicated. it already these it's good. have you read this on the program for your analysis? alberta alman over the h e. c parish, thanks for joining us. still had here on the al jazeera news, our health workers in zimbabwe say the underpaid and over words. and now that walking off the job and in support english goals for mat fitzpatrick clinches his 1st major title at the u. s. open.

ah, more than 230 people of reportedly been killed in ethiopia in an attack in the aroma region. witnesses saying the victims belong to the ha ethnic group, the aroma liberation army has been blamed for the time, but it says it's not involved. is an ethnically diverse nation, but is experiencing widespread tensions with hundreds of people killed in recent years. much of the south and west is inhabited by the aroma people who make up the largest group in the impala region to the north, the power community as a 2nd largest. now conflicts have largely been fueled by groups demanding more land and power. generally samuel get a chew has more from addis ababa 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 priorities, ed, referring to his government is to bring peace and security, but it's been a challenging few years to your band ethiopians. there was an attack her last week and gun bella were a majority of the city, was overpowered by an oral more liberation front, which the government has accused of being a terrorist organizations in this organizations when they're defeated somewhere else, they tend to react in other parts of ethiopia, as we've seen yesterday this last weekend, or which are again at least 230 or i'm higher people offer ethiopia were killed. but once again, that number is expected to go much higher and the government is expected to react us pressure to act as mounting. healthways,

zimbabwe have gone on strike and protest against low salaries and poor working conditions is the 2nd walcott by nurses. other health professionals is the pandemic began her with cancer, has more from her ari health workers in zimbabwe. know they taking a big risk being out in protesting, calling for better working conditions and pay in the past. some of them has been victimized and erased, as for speaking out over the conditions at the public hospitals and clinics across the country over the weekend. they rejected a government offer of a wage increase of a 100 percent, but to say that is no way near enough. these are professionals, they have degrees, other qualifications. these are the barbie's middle class and they say they can't afford to survive on the nika salaries. that they, this is an act of last resort. we ask the public to hold the government accountable for how they're treating health workers. but more importantly, how they're treating just a general civil service. it's common knowledge that the currencies imperial,

but they have not taken action. most of the people you see here don't own houses. the 100 percent wage increase offered by the government may sound like a lot, but often hit by inflation. it's actually nothing according to the public service workers who work in ism bomber, they say with inflation, which was a 131 percent in may. it means a base is not being paid enough to earn a living. the government says that they still want to try and negotiate with the work because the urge to work is to come back to the table. and they say that they can find a way for it, but the workers say, the lowest of them takes on less than $100.00 a day. they want at least $840.00 american dollars for the lowest paid work. or they say being payden's and bobbing dollars simply is not feasible because of the currencies rapid evaluation. the gambia port was once they preferred destination to cargo heading to many west african countries. but the lack of investment has left it shorter space amended responses from banjo. after days of waiting a ship,

offloads is cargo at the port by duel. a few kilometers offshore. other vessels are waiting, their turn. as much as 80 percent of the cargo that arrives here is exported to other countries including begun be as far like geneva seneca, the like of modernization and expansion means the tiny country can't handle increased traffic and is struggling to maintain existing volumes. they bought by new law has a key lent of 400 meters and 5. but this is a where we bring ships alongside. so d min business is the continent shipping lines and access to reserve budget one little andy terminal it as our so constricted in the sense that a and as 6 to 3000 square meters of storage unit is available. importers, an export to say, doing business here is becoming more expensive of we should say as much as 20 percent of the cargo meant for the gambia is being diverted to our,

the west african ports. if you ask the government businessman, they're rather have their containers come through nibbling ports for cost, timeliness and things of that sort. but as i keep saying, the abilene gumby and customer will lose job opportunities and the taxes that we supposed to pay for the taxman in 2019 the portal portion of losses exceeded $200000000.00. and while no recent figures are publicly available, economy say that amount has only increased the is prashant wendell port. the government wants to open another, the south of the country to some parts of synagogue and lun, locked my label. now the countries not ports development is expected to have cargo delivery times, but that could cause the country up to $500000000.00 money the country can't afford at the moment. senegal is currently building new ports and upgrading its transport infrastructure. this analysts say could undermine the gumby us efforts to attract investment. but when you port official say that despite aggressive expansion in the

region, the gambia will continue to maintain its edge because of its strategic location. ahmed edris al jazeera bundle, the gambia, the head of the globalization body i author says he's covered at the industry will return to profitability in 2023. ation d. as all meeting in cat are to discuss hiring and re growth as airlines recover from the cove in 1900 pandemic, it plans affect the into the worst financial crisis in its history. how driveway, cea akbar baccha says he's cautiously optimistic. nobody can predict our industry 1st. first of course, is the, the leading institution in our industry. they have a model to predict. but you know, it's only a prediction. you don't know what will happen. i am settling optimistic that,

that things to continue for the foreseeable future. i also don't think they all price will stay at this level for enter the pen damage because rates have called the global ation industry. loss of the estimated at more than $200000000000.00 every 2 years. and during that time, the transport action group reports that more than 2000000 jobs were cut now by scramble to high tens of thousands of employees. but security screenings are causing delays. the staff shortages have led to flight cancellations, especially in europe. despite the high numbers of people wanting to travel, and the ukraine is also doubled fuel prices leading to a roughly 30 percent hike in flight prices. well joined by some of in java who's at the summit for us as a lot to discuss and a lot on the agenda. absolutely. so hell, so what we're hearing from industry experts is a very optimistic outlook to the recovery of the asian sector. as you mentioned,

that it has been one of the worst effected areas are after the pandemic, but it is on the men and to discuss that we have for this, the regional vice president for ya to mr. pamela. why the thank you very much for being with us by so. so myriad of challenges yet a very optimistic outlook. how do you square that? and what gives you so much confidence just just looking at how well the industry performed this year was thought of this year, even with a hiccup like the micron, the and the last year, or the resilience of the airline. how nimble they adjust for each airline adjusts its capacity and what it needs. you can see the numbers just grow month over month . i'm looking at their plans down the road. i think we're very optimistic that they will achieve the numbers that you heard this morning or even with like the rising prices, oil and stuff like that, as we're still looking very optimistic. so let's take a look at the challenges that face debbie and industry. you're not completely out

of dependent, they're still restrictions. there's very low vaccination in africa. you looking at higher fuel prices, you looking at slowing down of economies. and this is the peak sector of for the aviation industry after the summer is going to slow down up again, these numbers, 80 percent recovery going airlines going into break even or even profit in 2023 up feeds like easier said than done. oh, absolutely. yes, i mean that's not simplify this, it's very difficult. you're awfully right. i, you know, there are still countries are restricted africa's has very low percentage of vaccines. ukraine rocha's issue is hampering a lot and of course the price of oil. but we're still not there yet. so so we're talking about it's 3 percent of to 90, which was the highest year ever. so a 3 percent, 219 is still a high number. but we and say 100 percent because of these issues. yes, airlines are smart enough to not put all its capacity back into the market so,

so there's still 2017 percent of that capacity not being used. and of course are reduces a lot of the operational costs or the fixed cost in some cases. so, so they are managing their resources more carefully achieving the profit, but don't forget this as they're achieving a proper that does not mean that profitable achievement profit. they have 2 years of losses to, to, to recap. but there are other factors here as well in, in addition to airlines capacity, you're talking about baggage handlers. you're talking about airport stuff, a rising costs. how is the evasion industry going to cope because it has seen some of the largest shrinking in the last couple of years because it depends on what the shrinking the shrinking is for as always taking into consideration. so if you don't need it, you low of that capacity and that's the shrinking that you're talking about and it airlines get it wrong. i think i think most of the airlines specifically in this region calculated them on power requirements and their resources very carefully and

accurately. from what i can see. i think the demonstration of how they, we started again and the restart to the bang out of foster than anybody expected. and yet without the problems that we're facing in europe, i'm us. so if you want to think about how they managed their resources, i would say that dcc carry as managed it. beautiful. i think what every viewer wants to know is, is, are the fair price is going to go down? are they going to see and better, faster, is the evasion industry capable of providing the best services for the most of cost? yeah, so, so i'm at the, i'm, that's a valid question with the, with the oil price of this, i was some of the airports just increasing their charges, ridiculously overnight, some handling age and so on. it's, it's a monopoly and it's difficult to lower the price. it's difficult and don't forget the airlines have taken loans on to their now which i'm basil. there's a cost of that loan that has to be added to its operational costs. so,

so would the price is, i would say the fuel being the highest contribution to law, to the high can prices. if the fuel remains is high, then there will, they won't be any lawyer. but analyze the members of the fuel foss dropping. you will see them, but you see the air fares wrong with it almost immediately. thank you very much for speaking to steve. you have at the, from the, the view from cumberland, about the, the regional vice president for the middle east, north africa region and, and a positive outlook. but bearing in mind there is a number of difficulties that continue to haunt, not just the airlines, but airports and the over on aviation industry. and it might be a while before that ticket to your favorite destination. it's any cheaper like search some, bon jovi there for some dough. so i had him on the news on local officials say floods in india's asylum. states are now critical. we'll have more from one of the worst hit areas. and a 2nd tennis match in a month is disrupted by climate change protests. so that's coming up with joe in schools.

ah, now, yes, there is a violently windy day in parts of western france because of this spinning low in the bay of biscuit. but the biggest story is that the heat waves, it's been right up as far north as london, been squish sandwiched and pushed eastwards because of this incoming frontal system . so the wolf says, you sees germany, poland, ukraine, and points to the size and what's behind it, isn't particularly cole, but in the twenty's, not the high thirties, for the most part. weatherwise along that line, there's been significant sundry rain, significant rain, some stubs, as you've already heard. and that storm system runs around the south northwest of spain into northern portugal still effects west in france. so they are further east keith as

a 332 of his maximum. his record for june but cools down rapidly. the same effect happens is cooter air pushing south to your it will settle few storms or at least shouts. i think in the balkans remains hot in turkey, grease and italy went into the cities here. unusual weather in west africa as well . this large amount of clad probably bass. some rain in very dry countries, martini at western sahara. and increasingly, i think in guinea and the gambia and cynical ah, the american people have finally spoken, america is isolate when america is off balance, the world becomes more dangerous. the world is looking at us with a mixture of sadness and pity. with the election behind us will the republican party dumptruck we take on us politics and society. that's the bottom line. a diverse range of stories from across the globe. from the perspective about

networks, journalist on al jazeera salon. com. it's great to see. welcome to the content economic forum powered by bloomberg. some people say that they say the globalization will blame them, but that prefer to think of that we globalization are accomplished. speakers from heads of state to business and policy leaders will discuss evolving technology, education, culture, sustainability, and the impact on the economy. oh, a

book about watching the on the news with me to who run the reminder of our top stories in belgium, protests all taking place against the rising cost of living unions are demanding better pay and working conditions as well as more investments in the public sector . also delegation from the democratic republic of congo has received the only known remnants of an independent leader assassinated for them. 60 years ago, the family of patrice lumber accepted the goal to the ceremony in brussels and french present amendment. i call her last 2 parliamentary majority. this central coalition should dozens of see them in election that the french politics quite fragmented. a new left wing alliance with emerged as the main opposition. after years of conservative rule, columbia has elected its 1st left wing presidents full revel. gustavo petro defeated the right wing populous rodolfo hernandez. petra is willing, made, francisco marquez will be columbia. the 1st black female vice president teresa has

more book at all. the rain did not stop thousands of people from gathering outside of it was headquarters. the economist informer, left when guerrilla, when the elections with just over 50 percent of the rooms, it's anywhere in columbia. the 1st time and left wing candidate has won the presidency. while you are, i want to cry. this is the 1st time we are going to have a popular government from the left, from the people of those who have suffered the armed conflict. and he is someone who represents us, the people on the 3. well, these people have been demanding change in this country, were liberals and conservatives have been sharing power for years. i agree with

they believe that they've been getting a little bit of change. this was petra's 30 to presidential bid. he's now a seasoned politician who's victory at columbia to the list of latin american countries that have elected center left precedence in recent years. on sunday evening, he was presented to his supporters by his running mate, friends, jamarkis, who will be columbia's 1st, afro colombian woman vice president. locate we are writing history right now. a new history for latin america. what is coming here is change real change in which we commit to life itself. we are not going to distant chantelle voters that have been screaming that from now on columbia changes. peter defeated, 77 year old populous world for a man this who was referred by many as the king of take talk. but better will face many challenges. 47 percent of the country did not vote for him and only say he

will have to negotiate his reforms in congress for this is not only the 1st time that oliver and candy a dismal like that in columbia. but also the 1st time that we have up left when congress to because back to study coded social movement behind gustavo, better was able to elect, ah, a good number of congress members. so he will have a congress that is in favor of him, not a complete majority, has in car bama, jaretha and 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 term folly. so people will take off if in august for many he government will empower the people in the country who have been ignored by affording for years. that is, i will, as a feeder, broader minstrel anchors holding urgent bailout talks with the international monetary fund as it struggles to contain

a spiraling economic crisis. the government says it needs a $5000000000.00 lifelines. now, a lack of foreign currency is that to shortages of food and medicine for fuel supplies that you to run out within days. without fernandez, has more from columbus. 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 peter brewer. now essentially sherlock has run out of options and he's hoping that the i'm, if will 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. 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. millions of people in bung with their stranded by the worse monsoon floods in a century are at risk of food and water shortages. neighboring india is also

affected in bung with flooding its devastating districts in the north and north east. the river levels are expected to rise. the army has been deployed to help with food relief, millions of homes remain under water. roads have been cut off and local. apple shut down. dozens of people have died since installs began in april. bobby metal has moved from one of the affected areas in india's state of a psalm. incessant rain for an overflowing river water has inundated pasta for some states. once again. we are in rome. yeah, this is one of the was affected areas in the state. many villages are inundated and submerged, and that has 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, waiting for the water to go and get that daily supplies across the state. about 4000000 people have been affected by the flood. a 150000 of them are in release

camps. 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 both efforts, flooding is and, and will affect in the state. but the see the reinforce has been normally high according to the mess department in june alone. the rainfall has been double of what this month sees. every yo export to blame this partly on climate change, but also on increase human activity like development was building infrastructure, building investments that they say have made drove us over here more vulnerable to flooding when it rains, celebrations, and marches have been held in the us to mark june teen the national holiday commemorating the end of slavery. it's the 1st time it's been observed as

a federal holiday after being signed into law by president joe, by last year. but not all states gave work as the day off, and some corporations have been accused of capitalizing on what should be a time of remembrance when car mcdonny is the direct tell the central african studies at johns hopkins university. he says, june teeth isn't about remembering slavery. it's all about 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 and the society of our freedom demands equality, our freedom demands, 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 that the society transform at a more fundamental level. and i think this is the same thing that came out of the black lives 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 of george 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 and becomes a part of the national conversation. i think if that is kept 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, what it is and then water them down and strip them of their ability to really

transformed the society to really call 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 book. well, still had here all the nisa max, the stop and extensive formula one jumping to plead in canada, sports story coming up with jokes for the book. it's the you case. biggest hospital with eventual capacity for 4000 cove at 19 patient built inside a london conference center. it took just 9 days to construct with the help of army engineers dramatically expanding the critical care bed count and other similar sites are on the way the actual london numbers could be much higher than advertised researches say that huge gaps in testing capacity that the government is now trying

to close, extrapolate that across the country and the spread of corona virus appears far wider than any one thought. american people have finally spoken. america is iceland, when america is on balance, will become more dangerous. the world is looking at us with a mixture of sadness and pity with the election behind us, while the republican party, dumb crop the fuel we take on us politics and society. that's the bottom line with ah, bulk of uptime scanner history. so thank you very much. swimming,

governing body has, right, it's a band transgender athletes from a late women's competitions. fina says the ruling will protect the competitive fairness of the sports, and he rich than reports. this is a really very important all meant for us. it's an announcement that sent shock waves around the sporting world, swimming, wilt, governing body fina voting to ban that transgender women from female events. if they've experienced any parts of male puberty the future, it is a policy that we need to introduce in order to protect the competitive fairness of all of our events. wilson is to a report from a scientific panel concluded that male, puberty gives individuals significant physical advantages. in sport, the decision would stop american athlete lee. it's homeless. who recently became the 1st transgender swimmer to win a college title from representing her country out the olympics. fina has said,

it will now sets of an open category for athletes whose gender identity does not match their sex at birth. there must be categories, women, man and of course a category for trans women and trans man, a space. i want anyone who loves competing in aquatic sports to have a space and to achieve their goals. in that space. fair competition is a strong hold and staple of our community. i am asking everyone to take a breath. listen before reacting. listen to the science and experts. listen to the people who have stood up here. and i've been telling you how difficult it is been to reconcile inclusion and fantasizing mental record. debbie swimming is the 2nd olympic discipline after rugby to introduce such a band. most of the sports used to start their own levels as

a basis for allowing trans women to compete. ha, ha, ha lambert. i did not see discontinuity. i have believed for a long time that we can talk about what the barriers to entry look like. what transition requirements look like, but out right benz for any trans woman who experience part of puberty. i didn't see it coming across all the sports now have to decide if with its proposed open category swimming has set a precedent that they wish to follow. and the richardson al jazeera is the bumper, will support scientists, ross tucker joins, is now live from kate town. he's been involved in developing a policy on this subject for weld rugby ross. previously the discussion had been around testosterone levels. now it's about the time the athlete transitions was the science behind nonce. yes. so if you go back about 20 years, i think that was when sports officials recognize the challenge that they would be faced with. and they basically asked the question is,

why is there an issue in the issue is that males have performance advantages by virtue of what this duster and gives them in the solution that came up with is if you take that this starts thrown away, then you take the advantage away, so they thought that having identified the source of the problem, they could fix it by moving it, and it turns out that that doesn't work. so they are now 13 studies that have been published in the last 15 years and universally, without exception, they show that even taking the testosterone levels right down into women's ranges does not remove the biology that has been created by this test. so for example, where muscle mass and strength of 30 percent higher in males and females, taking testosterone away any takes about 5 percent of that away. sports have not been forced to confront the reality of it. it's not about the distrust and levels today. it's about what the testosterone had done over the course of 5 potentially 10 years before that. and that's been the shift that i think is driven the

realization from fina and previously from rugby that you, you can't sort this out. but just taking testosterone where you actually have to go back and ask whether disgusted and ever had an effect at all at school situations, want to balance inclusiveness and fairness. but can they really do that in this case? unfortunately not. you know the language around this has been the same for a long time because we need a balance between fairness and inclusion of trans women and women sports. but for the reasons i've just outlined yukon and do a decades with especially logical development, you've gone and do what this dustin has put down in male bodies. and because sport is about bodies and it's about biological sex. the reality is that we have to know that, well, why do we want women sports to exist? and if we want women sports to be a category that says to provide fairness, an opportunity for females, then we can have inclusion. where before school was trying to achieve

a level of balance between them. it now has to make a choice. one of them has to be prioritized about the other, and when swimming is done and say that fantasy, you played a quote from the president yesterday. famous text priority, and we'll seek to find inclusion elsewhere, but never at the expense of fairness to women. yet that her position that sports authority has been put in rough talk a thank you very much english call for mat fitzpatrick has joined the ranks of major champions after clinching us opened title brooklyn. fitzpatrick was leading by one into the final hole when he found himself in the bunker. but on the pressure, the 27 year old pulled off one of the shots of the tournament to set up the win. fitzpatrick had previously won the us amateur open at the same court. 9 years ago. his playing partner will sell a tourist, missed a birdie, which would have forth a playoff with that fits. patrick took his 1st major title, which also moved him into the world top 10. unbelievable. yeah.
