4:01 pm
and more than a century. ah, the remains of kong lead freedom fighter parties. lamar are returned to his family more than 60 years after his assassination and sport, a decision that sent shock waves around the sporting world, swimming, governing body, his voice, it's ban transgender athletes from elite womens events. ah, welcome to the news. our tens of thousands of demonstrators are converging on the belgian capital to protest against the rising cost of living is the latest and biggest day of action plan by unions. they call the day of strikes to demand better pay, working conditions and more investment in the public sector. the industrial action as severely disrupted transport. brussels airport has cancelled all outbound flights. i just didn't use it when i came here to defend purchasing. powered the
4:02 pm
citizens because demonstrate is the only way to make the change. we cannot cope and know even with 2 salaries as we will have, am a medical teacher. both of us are working. we cannot get our head above water. you must increase your purchasing power. however, your lab, your life is becoming more and more difficult gasoline eating fuel. if we lower the taxes to 6th, on electricity and gas and then it will make the population happier and the nation will suffer. loss of the inflation rate in belgium had a 40 year high just and 9 percent. as long as we down to the energy crisis and food inflation in 2021, almost 100. 80000 people received help from food bank songs, just a record for the country. and prime minister, alexander de crew says inflation is affecting all belgians, but he's yet to come up with a measure to tackle a problem. so fasten has more from the belgian capital. i'm in the middle of this so fairly large rally in the heart of brussels right now. and so we're working on
4:03 pm
strike gathering here against a very high cost of living and allied just these programs, largely shopping trolley, for example, because they say it's an ad to go into a supermarket who, groceries, because we simply found the broadest groceries. i'd be more confident that all has gone up with more than 10, even 20 percent. inflation is more than a percent. and on the other hand, their wages can go up more than 0.4 percent because of the belgium law. so this is why we biggest labor union in belgium have paul ford is general national pride from the airport as a chaos there in the transport sector in belgium, all over this chaos today because people are not working there right here. it's not only the sector but the medical, the workers health care workers. i hear people from all sector from all the
4:04 pm
different labor union i here to show their anger and they say, we can't live like this anymore. and we're working hard and the companies are actually making more money because of the high prices. it all started with the energy prices going up months ago. and then the war in your brain started with the price is even go up higher. and that has led to this serious crisis. many people are feeling day by day now the cost of living kinds. this is also affecting the outcome of the french election with the president losing his majority and the national assembly. now his interest correlation, last dozens of thieves, a new left during the lines led by genre millennial has emerged on the main opposition is not calling for the coalition to form a united block. 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,
4:05 pm
had twisted the arm of the whole country who had been elected without knowing what for him, the pen and her father, right? national rally party will also celebrating after turning a seats into 89 the pen last the presidential election to macro early this year. supposed to consider cuz i think that everyone considers that this is a victory for the hot dump them on us or not. we're entering the assembly with a very powerful group of m. p. 's were the 1st opposition party ahead of left. and so 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. general health has the latest standing by force and power said joe, to not quite the result that president macro was looking for. but a great night for the political right. and the political left
4:06 pm
a good night for the extremes. yes, a dreadful night for micron and his centrists last 100 seats last their absolute majority. the narrative. not just from the left as you are hearing it. there is of an over arrogant president reelected just 2 months ago, who took his electorate for granted who failed to even campaign strongly in this election. and who now will be forced to reach a marcial, to compromise, and may find it difficult to govern it in an absolute way. pier husky joins me now . a political commentator, a familiar face on al jazeera, what went wrong for macro on the centrists. and what do they need to do now to sure things up. i think the, the main issue is because character and style of governing. and that's what it makes, the difference between the presidential election, where he won it with some difficulty in front of her mainland because people wanted to block maryland from getting into power,
4:07 pm
not so much to get my colon reelected. and these legislative elections went in a way that macklin had not anticipated. first of all, with this less doing alliance that didn't exist during the presidential. and they scored well and they defeated a number of a cabinet ministers and top in these. and on the other side now, le pen is scoring very high on the wave of her success. she lost, but she lost with a very high score in the presidential election. so michael thought that there was a kind of a thematic granted majority that would come after his victory in the presidential election. and that was a big mistake is gonna have to make friends now, isn't he with the republicans, the traditional right? he's gonna have to rely on something like 2 thirds of they're sitting at peace. he needs 44 additional votes to get anything through parliament. is that gonna work? is $44.00 sits and short of a majority. that's beyond just getting
4:08 pm
a few. are buying a few votes if you want or by giving seats in the and portfolios. so he will have to make compromises, and he doesn't have much time because the letters already put a confidence votes on july the 5th. so he has to weeks to find a new majority. and the republican, sir, because that's the traditional right or it are the king makers, they lost heavily in the president election. their candidate was below 5 percent. she couldn't even recover her money or from the vote. and today they are the king makers and they want to make the price for supporting a my call very high. and i'm not sure he's ready to pay. so we are at the moment in a real deadlock. and another difficulty is participation legitimacy. if you like, a majority of french voters didn't turn out to vote at all in this election, 3 quarters of young people didn't vote at all. they clearly don't trust their politicians here to deal with their problems. problems that are rising all the time
4:09 pm
with an economic crisis. is there a worry that in the 2nd term, macro on 2nd term, they might be a repeat of the sort of village on protests where people take their problems to the streets. well, obviously if you don't go to the balls, then you go to the streets or, and that makes sense because that you feel it's the only way to be heard in this country and, and my core as on himself to blame because during the 1st monday, the 1st, 5 years of his mandate, he had an absolute and overwhelming majority in parliament. and parliament was irrelevant. there was no debate. he was just giving orders and day and peace would vote for any bill he would introduce. and so that explains the very low participation. this, these enchantment with the system that these so much top down at that, that, that, you know, we are ordinarily the centralized country and mccoy's as played on this over centralization. and so the result is that you might have problems in the streets if
4:10 pm
he wants to introduce the reforms that he has been talking about in the campaign, particularly the, the age of retirement, which is very controversial. the guess here is that he won't, it won't be able to introduce those reforms. and so before he, he can have a new alignment of political forces. he will not be able to do any major reform. here we live there. thank you very much for your insights. the votes have all been counted. it is now clear. emanuel macro will not have the easy ride that he had during his 1st term, his 2nd term shaping up to look rather different. joe helen, paris forest. thanks so much. maslanka is holding urgent, baylor talks with the international monetary fund as it struggles to contain a spiraling economic crisis. the government says it needs a $5000000000.00 lifeline locker foreign currency. and so to shortages of food and medicine, or fuel supplies or to, to run out within days, numbers was more from the capital, colombo, the 10 member,
4:11 pm
delegation of the i. m have held meetings at the prime minister's office. that's a building you see behind me. i 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 as 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, a battery lanka must present in terms of how it proposes to pay back. all the money
4:12 pm
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. or 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. health workers. it's barbara on strike in protest against low salaries and poor working conditions. it's the 2nd walker by nurses and other health professionals since the pandemic become her. i'm a tosser. as more from her 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
4:13 pm
victimized and erased, as for speaking out over their 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 in near enough. these are professionals, they have degrees, other qualifications. these are the bobbins middle class and they say they can't afford to survive on the new 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 and peril, 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 bomb or they say with inflation, which was a 131 percent in may. it means they basically not being paid enough to earn
4:14 pm
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 take some 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 of rapid evaluation. well, plenty more had here on the out as a renews are including heavy rains and flooding wreak havoc and southern china. us is passers by heavy storms. also global aviation at a crossroads we look at the challenges facing the sector has cut our house a meeting of industry leaders and english goal for months. it's patrick finch, is his 1st major title at the us open. ah.
4:15 pm
of the is a conservative rule. columbia has elected its 1st left wing president, former rebel fighter gustavo petro defeated the right wing populace. rodolfo hernandez petros running main. francere marquez will be columbia's 1st black female vice president trees. a boat has moved bucket all the rain did not stop thousands of people from gathering outside gustavo beatrice headquarters, o. b economist and former left wing guerrilla when the elections with just over 50 percent of the vote. it's a new air ang columbia. the 1st time and left when candidate has won the presidency, our while you're and 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 streets. these people have been demanding change in this country, were liberals and conservatives have been sharing powered for years.
4:16 pm
oh yeah, i agree with the beginning that of change. these was petros, 30 to presidential bid. he's now a seasoned politician who's victory at columbia to the list of latin american countries. the have elected center left precedents in recent years. on sunday evening, he was presented to his supporters by his running mate, france, jamarkis, who will be columbia's 1st, afro colombian woman vice president. locate we are writing a history right now. the new history for latin america. what is coming here is changed. real change in which we commit to life itself. we are not going to disenchanted voters that have been screaming that from now on columbia changes.
4:17 pm
peter defeated 77 year old populace relo fernandez, who was referred by many as the king of tick tock. oh, but better will face many challenges. 47 percent of the country did not vote for him annually say he will have to negotiate his reforms in congress for this is not only the 1st time that oliver and candy it is been elected in columbia. but also the 1st time that we have op left when congress to, because back to study godaddy, social movement behind gustavo better was able to elect, ah, a good number of congress members saw. he will have art a congress that is in favor of him, not a complete majority has and car bama jaretha in 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
4:18 pm
authorities for years. but he said, well, as the cedar brought them, as was over to alexander m. p. as your correspondent, he joys me now from butcher munger. i get of you the said alice andrew, obviously the country digesting the magnitude not only of the victory, but of the historic moment. this country is now experiencing absolutely, look, this victory is the significance for a number of reasons. and also historic. if you look at the history of the country at the left here, as the practically always been silence are sticking my thighs associated with arm. the legal rebel groups about that has started to change since the signing of a piece deal back in 2016 between the columbian state and 5 rebels, which were the biggest and the largest of those rebel groups. this has allowed for
4:19 pm
the 1st time it for a legal correlation of left east parties to at to flourish and to have the opportunity to finally come into power. which is what has happened on a sunday, gustavo pitt, that has been working for years to reach this moment the. and i think this is significant also because of the way in which he won. if you look at the columbia, a map of the people that usually vote the less a in this country, which are the people that work in the periphery that live in the peripheries of the country that have been subjected to that conflict for decades came out in force at 1015 percent more than the usual turnouts in all these regions in cow kept nadia the pacific coast for example, a people came out and wanted to give an opportunity to this government to come to,
4:20 pm
to come and do the reforms that people are asking for the other issue, i think here that the, for the 1st time the, the issue of, of the war was not the, the winning. why and people are more interested in there a day to day and neither. they are demanding a change. they went to change from the political establishment of the entire country, sort of digesting that. obviously we're going to have to see if the many promises that peter has matthew will be able to it for in fact, let's talk about some of those because reform is what he promised. and the fact that he is from the left understands the the mentality. you might say of what it is to be a rebel. he has to deliver on education, investment, climate change, an oil exploration. these are huge topics with a lot of big money behind them in some cases. and he needs to try and find a way to navigate what is a very difficult path for columbia. absolutely,
4:21 pm
and he needs to do that without having a clear majority in congress. and that's why one of the 1st thing he talked about in the as victory speech last night. why is that that of calling for a national dialogue with the other political forces? one of the last acts of this campaign was getting together with other politicians and the, and leaders and social organization, political organizations that had said that they are also available to participate in this value log to set the reforms that the can 3 needs the, it's unclear right now, if you will be able to do that, you will face the very strong opposition from the traditional establishment who is actually closed at the 22 to holding a majority in congress. i think that what will be key here. the 1st step will be a major tax reform, which was one of the main points of,
4:22 pm
of pedrosa proposals. a right now at columbia only gets 20 percent of his g, d, p from faxes, only 5 at 1000. and that's how you only 5 percent of the population is being faxed this year. the richest part of the country also pays very little in facts as he wants to change that to be able to offer better public education. for example. the other main point will be the transition from the countries are relying on oil and the call in this 3 towards the more environmentally friendly industries and practices. and just briefly, alessandra, he certainly wants to have an all inclusive government. and the fact that the vice president also was perhaps a headline news as well. a potential vice president her also means that he can bring in a disenfranchised part of colombian society into mainstream compensation. absolutely
4:23 pm
. now remember that the air france at marquez is a vice president the peak and now who will now be the vice president will be not only the 1st african me vice president in a, in this country, but across latin america. so that promises to be a transformative not only that, i think that she's been fundamental in managing this big theory because the fact that she comes from a social organization from a life of activism as been able to mobilize all these, these in franchise people there, usually don't well to large numbers in this case that the opposite to happened and, and i think that it and now that we start looking at the numbers closely, we can see just how important the voter of rural farmers, of people living in the periphery is in the most abandoned regions of the country has been in making, gustavo paid through the next president of columbia. i love somebody alessandra,
4:24 pm
from pnc there for us in columbia. thanks very much. not millions of people in bangladesh surrounded by the worst monsoon floods in a century. her risk of food and water shortages laboring endure is also affected in bangladesh. flooding is wreaking havoc in northern and north eastern districts and is expected to get a lot worse with water levels rising in major rivers. the army has not been deployed to help with relief efforts. millions of homes remain under water. roads have been cut off and local airports are closed. dozens of people have died since the storms began. in april temperature boundary has more from slit in the northeast of bangladesh. 60 percent of the film region is devastated by flowed water, one of the worst in more than a century. people are desperate for food and fresh water. you can see miles and miles after village homes like this submerged in water. $29000.00 of actors are farmland run under water. devastating poultry is livestock fishery than crop. the
4:25 pm
government is deployed military, navy, coast guard, and air force. at least 100000 people have been evacuated, are rescued so far. there is still clear danger of more flood because the flood forecasting center say the next day there's going to be more rain, which will make things worse. and the water coming from office bank that will also make things much worse than what it is. the northern part of bangladesh is also devastated because most of the major rivers are flowing over the danger level. many people are doing their government to declare these areas as disaster zone. the situation remains critical in india's northeast, in some state, following heavy rains of a flooding. bobby metal has more from one of the effective areas. incessant rain for an overflowing river water has inundated pasta for some states. once again. we are in wrong. yeah, this is one of the was affected areas in the state. many villages are inundated and
4:26 pm
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 to this 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 and to help with relief distribution as well as rescuing people. but incessant rainfall and continuous rainfall in many parts of the sea have hampered both efforts. flooding is and, and will effect in the states. but the see the reinforce has been normally high according to the met department in june alone. the rainfall has been double of what this month sees. every yo export blame this partly on climate change, but also on increase human activity like development was building infrastructure.
4:27 pm
building investments lead they have made, drove us over here more vulnerable to flooding when it rains. severe stones also battery knowledge, parts of southern china drinking floods. and landslides rainfall in some areas has been the heaviest in 60 years. now this was the seen as a fire and june was swept away in glen dong province. millions of people have been displaced. heavy rain is typical in the early summer months, but the storms of lasted longer and the more intense that in previous years. well as him on the weather now, who is a rob mckelly? it is a flat season in asia, sometimes that's quite extensive. the case in bangladesh, sometimes it's locally, quite volunteers have been the case in grand dawn recently where a thunderstorm from that line of plum rains. this is what they called localized produce a tornado, which caused some damage. is that being cleaned up now the rain to continue will get these every now and again. if you follow the line back,
4:28 pm
the monsoon range is what we call the course in india and bangladesh. this is a forecast for them. the orange census where the rain is like to fall at is heavy so the next day or so. so call counter southern bangladesh and right cross towards characters bigger and she to go. so that is relatively good news because the flooding has been further north and up in our sam. and although we are now within the monsoon troughs, this is monsoon rain. it's not as heavy as it was the last week, but this is still what's on the ground. over 3000000 people displaced in northern bank, there showed up in the us, sam as well. and that flood is going to go for a long time. because once there is a river, risen, where do they go apart? downstream taking the flood with them over the next decade. this gets worse, and it may well do that. could be permanent relocation necessary for 27000000 people in bangladesh alone. more helpful rain in northern pakistan. these thunderstorms are made. it feel a lot cooler. what a relief still a had here on the news on the parade's and street festival held across the us to
4:29 pm
mark it's nearest public holiday. and the 2nd tennis match in a month is disrupted by climate change protest. her story coming up with joe in schools. ah, during the colonization of africa, thousands of artifacts were removed by the major european powers for double. the french occupation gradually removed a lot of works. a new 3 part series tells the story of the struggle by african countries to we claim that priceless heritage. but it didn't happen overnight. we were robbed over time restitution. africa stolen are coming soon on out jazeera frank assessments. it sounds like you don't expect anything to change the problem in lebanon. it's actually structural lebanon needs, and you also contract in order for it to solve this problem. informed opinions,
4:30 pm
international communities on the goal of this my security, and that creates a government, has no legitimacy in depth analysis of the data global headlines. this is going to be very hard for people to explain to the public that instead of pushing back, no, it's actually got 2 members inside story on al jazeera. oh, a book like watching out there a news with me to help the reminder of on top stories protests of being held in the belgian capital against the rising cost of living. maybe indians have called for a nationwide strike that amounting better pay and working conditions. sir lanka is holding urgent pain on tools for the international monetary fund as it struggles to
4:31 pm
contain a spiraling economic crisis. the government says it needs a $5000000000.00 lifeline. and gustavo petro has been elected columbia 1st left wing president. and in decades of conservative rule, these former rebel 5 to secure just over 50 percent of the vote. 3 points ahead of right wing populist adolfo amanda not belgium has handed over the last known remnant of the democratic republic of congo assassinated independence leda. the family of patrice mamba received a gold tooth during a ceremony at the royal palace in brussels, the member played a major role in the d. r. c. fight the independence from belgium. he was abducted and assassinated in 1900. 61. millions of colonies were killed on the colonial rule . malcolm webb isn't ivy. he explains what led up to this moment. could part of what seems to be a drive on the part of belgium to try and clean up the public image for it. let the
4:32 pm
colonial pass and we can trace this back 2 years ago when lloyd george floyd, george floyd, was, was killed in the u. s. when he was murdered, which gave birth to the black live matter movement that prompted activity in belgium to the faith. to the king. leopold with the belgian colonists to carved out that enormous chunk in the center of the african congo as his own personal feast. them earning vos wealth. the hey, man 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. but the same thing, if those statues of king leopold is what seems to lead to the 1st 3,
4:33 pm
the royal family expressing regret for the colonial past. and now this ceremony in which she remembered to being with that little yellow men by e is a co founder and co director of african futures, action lab. but i by and see, she says symbolic just just aren't enough to bring to our to, to put this, this atlas initiative into a broader context. and what we know from, from the remainder of the body is that the, we have to consider the, the context of the nation. so it has, his body has been dissolved in the acid. and the policeman was involved in this association kicked his fingers in his tooth, and that was the investigation. that was the when the, the commission, the commission that has worked on the circumstances of his, of his occasion, has revealed in 2001. but after that,
4:34 pm
after the 2001 my commission, there is also a tribe that has been marched by, by or by his family. and this for this try is still going on can use after, after that, the request that the most for concerning communities, when certain victims are not taken into consideration. so the we bedroom is willing to take very symbol adjuster, very simple and easy. but the acts of with paring, also allowing justice to, to happen. this is not happening and it's not happening. whether it is been here in belgium. it's not happening when we look in the different countries where it has, it has the legacy. no more than 230 people have reported it being killed in ethiopia. and an attack in the aroma region. witnesses say the victims belong to the uh huh. ethnic group, the aroma liberation army has been blamed for the attack,
4:35 pm
but it says it's not involved. the therapy 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 am. hara region to the north. jamara community is the 2nd largest. the conflicts have largely been fueled by groups demanding more land and power journal. some will get you as more val 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 med 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 where there was an attack her last week and gum bella were a majority of the city was overpowered,
4:36 pm
by her or or 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. air which are again at least 230 or i'm higher people of 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 wasn't ploughed as a senior research fellow at the institute of couple of studies and a horn of africa analyst, and george been out from london. good talking with us on the program is to plowed how we to analyze this latest attack. considering the country has been going through some rather disturbing upheaval these past few months while
4:37 pm
it is of course, a tragedy for those involved. and you know, some of the figures involved mentioned being as high as 320 people that took place on saturdays. and you know, the information is any really leaking out now, i mean the problem is there are extraordinary tensions between the 80 or so. ready ethnic groups that exist in ethiopia, and the in a sense what this reflects is attempts by the central government to take back part that was, had been devolved to the regions and to the ethnic groups and take it back to the center. and this is set up terrible tensions between the rival organizations and ethnic groups. and this is what we're now seeing played out. and so how does sort of ethnicity sort of manifest itself already in a country that defines itself as ethiopia. and i mean, what does it mean to be ethiopian? because at the moment with these ongoing conflicts,
4:38 pm
it seems that defining yourselves and if you, if you doesn't mean anything about which region of the country you come from. well, exactly, and you mustn't forget the, traditionally the, the northern highland peoples who were christian were the dominant group. these were the, to grands in the am hora. and the, i'm her in particular, you know, rude. ready ethiopia for many, many years, then extending their control in the 19th century of a vast areas of the south and the west. so that it became a nation of 80 different ethnic groups. and, you know, a to this day, the romo feel that there have been oppressed, they used to be called effectively slaves. and there is the, is a term that is of abuse which is used against the aroma. and they have been fighting for many, many years to trying to gain power against the that what were their rulers. but this, of course then leads to terrible tensions and the picket, there's also an,
4:39 pm
a religious overlap. it looks as if most of the people who were killed, i am har muslims, and it's quite possible if the people who killed them were protestant christians. now that's not been confirmed, but it does add another layer of tension to what was already a terrible situation. let's not forget that, according to the international organization, for migration, there are 4500000 ethiopians who are internally displaced. right now. can you know, this is an issue across the whole of the country? and because the prime minister, who's a nobel prize winner, rectify this problem on the situation because it seems to got out of hand. well, it is a real problem and in a sense, you always contains the problem because he is half an hour and half aroma in his own ethnic background. so you might assume that he could overcome this,
4:40 pm
but they did the i'm horror, i have felt very badly done by in recent months because he's begun to make some moves towards the to grands who he's been fighting since november 2020 the m r and i feel dispossessed, and the other thing is really that he's been trying to, as i said, pull back part of the center of the country. where under the to grands is all it been produced, an ethnic federalism, which allows the ethnic groups to exercise their own power. so what if you have to really needs is a new kind of constitution which result once and for all where power should lie and what power should be exercised by the various ethnic groups and power should be held at the center. and that is far from result. and as a result, we have these terrible tensions. these are polling killings multiply, thanks so much for your inside mountain plot that from the institute of commonwealth studies. thank you. thank you. now the head of global

4:42 pm
you think they'll have any answers where the industry themes a b tear and though her we've been hearing from our multiple c e o, as we've been hanging from industry experts and anna, this have been telling us that they have a now cross that eb offer or the pandemic in the last 3 years. and they are expecting at close to 80 percent or more than the traffic on the airline than the asian industries versus a by 2023. and is that a realistic number? so to discuss it, we have with the new chair of the board of the international air transfer to 40, i miss him at 90. thank you very much for being with this. 83 percent peep endemic level by 2023 airlines going into profit after incurring those massive losses. do you think it's realistic? it's realistic. so how we can test this the forward looking so good symptoms for us
4:43 pm
. so when we look at the forward bookings, we can say that the, the saloon cover this 80 plus percent compared to 2019. notice of course this will differ from company to company. some companies might do less, some companies might look more, but then we'll look at the legacy carriers and the low cost curious performances to local studios will be at vassal to legacy carriers due to the slow recovery of the business community. right, so you represent pegasus airlines, you're the ceo of pegasus airlines. it's a low cost carrier. you were one of the few airlines which did not lay off stuff, but there's been massive layoffs in this industry. tens of thousands of people have been made, jobless, now the industry wants them to come back to work, so to speak, and people are reluctant, and that's why you're facing problems in airports. airport re, affairs are and transfer fees are going up. you've got the fuel crisis, got the war in ukraine. so again, the point is that you do you think that by the time that you get to solve all of
4:44 pm
these problems, people are, will be interested in flying in on high fears. there will be a time less because also issues do you race. but when i looked at the overall, people are willing to fly. why? there was a latent demand. and this late and demand due to the coroner, we couldn't be able to go even outside of houses because they were to go into the city wall in the cities. so this made human beings understand the minutes of free travel. so whenever they find a suitable time suitable location according to their budget, they would like to go travel in the city, in the country and internationally. so when we look at, from that perspective, the recovery will be coming s revenge purchase. so that latent demand will call merchant to ranch purchase and we're going to see this in the
4:45 pm
summer. so the recovery will be very, very fast, especially on the tourism side. and especially for the pleasures and forward bookings are showing that to us. that's why the whole industry will be hitting the 83 percent off to total demand in 2019 and by 2023 and on most we will be at far. i believe that the 2022 or 2019 figures very quickly now that you are the new chair of the board of governors, you're going to be stress aesthetic, the direction of the airline industry. do you think the airline industry has learned lessons? what were the biggest mistakes made, and is the airline industry now shop proof? in case there is another pandemic like situation of course, as an industry and as, as its respect to come to me, learnt how to react in such upon them. because the similar problem it was happen 100 years ago in 21920 with the spanish flu. so since then,
4:46 pm
and because there are no managers or people living at this time after pandemic, having those experiences shared with us, we have to learn everything by ourselves. for example, the very 1st important thing we learned that every single county has different paperwork in order to update with to cove it. so this create really, really should efforts and virt lot station the for the of ation companies. and we have to hire new people. you know, door to train, which country what's, what kind of paperwork. so this is very made a simple one. of course the cash management was really crucial. how we're going to court with the corporate boards for internal customers are in place for external customers. and as you highlighted redundancies, for example, we are one of the very few companies which delighted under because we believe that
4:47 pm
our people are talented people and menu you away from those talents. it's really hard to recuperate them to bring them back. as we see in the industry, so what we did as much as we do job and make money, we share that with our employees. and this will give confidence for them when there is the recovery, they're going to get what it will they have to earn. so with that confidence we kept our stuffing, but most of the airports, some of the or most of the airline companies in order to arrange their cash budgeting, made some dependencies, and veered, trying to get the negative side. so those is douglas, this is off today. but these are some lessons we learned and we are going to update for the future. i hope nothing similar in upon them and, and ryan with, with happens to huss. but these are the lessons we learned in a really short,
4:48 pm

4:51 pm
from female events. if they've experienced any parts of male puberty for the future, it is a policy that we need to introduce in order to protect the competitive fairness of our, 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 hummus 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
4:52 pm
a strong hold and staple of our community. i'm 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 fantasy are the middle that godaddy swimming is the 2nd olympic discipline. after rugby to introduce such a band, most of the schools use testosterone levels as a basis for allowing trans women to compete. ha, ha, ha. a did nazi disconnected. 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 bands for any trans woman who experience part of puberty. i didn't see it coming across here. all the sports now have to decide if
4:53 pm
with its proposed open category swimming has set a precedent. they wish to follow. andy richardson al jazeera is a sport scientist, ross tucker has been involved in developing a policy on this subject for wild rugby. he explained why sports authorities have moved away from the issue of testosterone levels when ruling on transgender athletes. if you go back about 20 years, i think that was when sports officials recognized 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 that bond to just by virtue of what this duster and gives them in the solution that came up with if you take that this foster and away, then you take the advantage away 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 woman's ranges does not remove the biology that has been created by this duster. and so for
4:54 pm
example, where muscle mass and strength, 50 percent higher in males and females, taking testosterone away any takes about 5 percent of that away. and because sport is about bodies and it's about biological sex, the reality is that we have to now say, well, why do we want women's for 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 sport is trying to achieve a level of balance between it now has to make a choice. one of them has to be prioritized but the other. and when swimming is done in fantasy tex priority, and we'll seek to find inclusion elsewhere, but never the expense of fairness to woman. and your call for matt fitzpatrick has joined the ranks and major champions of the clenching us opened title at brookline . fitzpatrick was leading by one into the final hall when he found himself in the bunker. but under pressure,
