8:03 am
these villages is one reason why the casualty tool is so high. treating in 100 the wounded has been particularly difficult as a son continues to struggle under the pressure of international functions. even this regional hospital here and these, the capital of patio province is struggling to cope with the load. while helicopters have been instrumental and transferring the injured and providing assistance, there aren't enough of them to go around mala lee khalid commander of the 2 or 3 months of the army corps says they need more helicopters or whatever planes we had enough canister and we brought them all from kinda hard couple. of course we still need much more. but if there's still a shortage for thousands of avalon, the last few days have been full of loss and grief for the tall one government, it's been a test, a test of their ability to respond to disaster. your coupon says his community is
8:04 am
surrounded by tragedy managers and i was there last night. there was an earthquake and we lost everything. we have martyrs, there, here, there, there are a lot of injured people. all these houses are destroyed. we've lost our mosque and there's nothing left here, only the injured even women, all because of the earthquake, were here at the pack army corps, which has become the epicenter of aid for the earthquake relief. all day helicopters take off and land from here. they bring the injured, they also take with them assistance from international aid organizations and from on a organization to bring to the most devastated areas in the country. areas that have very little access to clinics, to hospitals, to proper roads and to any other services. so really what goes on here is extremely important. i leave that the big guys, these houses there are the un security council received. a special briefing on the situation in afghanistan, gable amazon day,
8:05 am
was following events. and as more from the united nations headquarters in new york, the humanitarian situation in afghanistan, his grave. that was the key message from top un officials to security council members. in what was a regularly scheduled meeting to discuss the overall situation in the country. but given the recent devastating earthquake, the immediate humanitarian conditions obviously were front and center, search and rescue operations remain ongoing. that it is expected that the number of casualties will probably be on the coming days along the number of active communities. i'm sure you'll agree that yesterday's earthquake was here and i'm a tragic. remind me of the dangers which are facing some people at this time. the un estimates there are about 24000000 people in afghanistan or about half the
8:06 am
country that are in need of humanitarian assistance. just to survive. the un already has you have janice dan humanitarian response plan. they're asking for about $4400000000.00 in an annual budget, but they've only received about one 3rd of that. meaning that they are on pace to potentially run out of money by the end of the year at a time when the money is needed, the most. we traced a $3000000000.00 funding for the last 6 months this year. i think probably i got this is and i was difficult situation in terms of the gap between funding and needs does anywhere in the world in a country where an earthquake has exacerbated already dire humanitarian conditions calls from the united nations headquarters to rally the world's attention now the senate has passed one of the boldest gun control bills and decades. the legislation gonna support both sides of the political aisle, but full so short of the sweeping changes demanded by gun control campaigners by
8:07 am
kind of has more from washington, dc. first of all, it is the most significant piece of bipartisan gun control legislation that's been passed in nearly 30 years. so in that it is truly significant. you had 15 republican senators voting with a democratic counterparts to pass this particular bull. the measures within it to provide millions of dollars and mental health care, improving security at schools and drastically changes of the way in which people aged $18.00 to $21.00 can buy a weapon, but it does fall far short of what most control gun control advocates the probably the majority of americans, including president biden, were demanding and specific example. a total ban on assault weapons had been called for that is not included in the bull. nonetheless, it is a significant moment because it does signal what the senate majority leader, chuck schumer said as
8:08 am
a step in the right direction. and it does come bounce off to that shooting and you've all v and some 5 weeks after that. shooting in buffalo, new york, notable though that both those shooting, we're using assault rifles. however, the point is, is that it will now go to the house very quickly, the house because said that she'll bring it onto the floor tomorrow. the president will then sign it into law soap from the end of friday. this will become law in the united states, but it's ironic perhaps that this law, the 1st bipartisan gun control legislation in decades comes from the same day that the supreme court strikes down a hidden concealed, gotten carry law that has been in place in new york state for some 100 years. as like just mentioned that the u. s. supreme court has rule that the central gun laws in new york state violate the 2nd amendment right to bear arms and must be relaxed
8:09 am
. kristen salumi has moved from new york arrests for gun crimes in new york or at a 28 year high, a racially motivated shooting in the city of buffalo. recently left 10 people dead . and now gun control activists say the violence is only going to get worse. the supreme court has ruled new york's law requiring anyone who wants to carry a concealed handgun show what's known as proper cause is unconstitutional. justice clarence thomas wrote the 63 page decision. he says, the constitution protects an individual's right to carry a handgun for self defense. outside the home. the decision was based on a case brought by the new york state rifle and pistol association. criminals are the ones that are causing the crimes in the cities, not, not legal, gun owners, not lawful people, because it's a decision. new york elected officials were bracing for and they didn't hold back their criticism at the court's decision. this decision isn't just reckless. it's
8:10 am
reprehensible, it's not what new yorkers want. this keeps me up at night. new york's mer says it will set back efforts to rain in gun crime, an gun deaths. former police officer, kirk burke halter agrees when the impact of the more guns on the streets of new york, and i am of the opinion that does not make a city. this populace safer. and here is why even trained long foresman offers, trained military personnel quite often don't hit what they aim and we see this all the time throughout the country, right, innocent bystanders, children, the elderly and silkworm, that is struck by stray bullets who are unintended targets. the rolling comes in the wake of high profile now shootings. at a time when pul, show the majority of americans prefer stricter gun control laws, the decision will impact not only new york, but other states with similar restrictions, including connecticut, massachusetts,
8:11 am
and california. the ruling is a setback for gun control. advocates who've advanced legislation to tighten gun laws at the state and federal level. states need to be able to make laws that protect their communities. new york is not like montana new york officials are promising to pass new legislation to restrict guns insensitive locations that will satisfy the courts and keep their citizens safe. kristen salumi al jazeera new york thing in the us. the house committee investigating masters insurrection on capitol hill has held its 5th public hearing now focused on the way form a president. donald trump tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election resolve . hi, jo. castro has more congressional investigators say after losing the presidential election to joe biden. in november 2020 donald trump was relentless in his efforts to remain in power so relentless that he called or met with tom justice

the man he would replace witnesses described from presiding over a contentious apprentice style midi. i said, well mister president, you are right that i'm not going to allow the justice department to do anything to try to overturn the election. trump was warned, there would be mass resignations at the justice department if he replaced rosen with clark. i said mister president, within 244872 hours, you could have hundreds and hundreds resignation. trump ultimately changed his mind . i'm still worried that not enough has changed to prevent this from happening again. the january 6th committee says after from fail to pressure swing states to change their votes and fail to convince the justice department to do his bidding. mob violence became his last record was witness to say at least 5 republican house members accused of promoting the january 6th riot. sought presidential pardons. in the immediate aftermath,

8:18 am
she was shot dead by israeli forces on the 11th of may while on assignment in jeanine in the occupied west bank or white house correspondent, kimberly how kit has law on the letter. there's a big reason why these democratic senators are looking for the white house and, and the united states to get directly involved in the investigation into the death of sure. you never claim that is in large part because of the mistrust that exists between the israelis and palestinians. we know that there have been investigations that have been conducted on both sides, but given the fact that there is such a deep this trust and given the fact that also the there have been conclusions and investigations that have been conducted by the media that really call into question the conclusions of the israeli investigations and other words that the really have concluded that in fact it was not there and israeli bullet that killed sheree and ever play. and in fact,
8:19 am
media investigations as well as the investigation conclude just the opposite. that there is, in fact, some deep distrust with these conclusions. and that is the reason that these democratic centers say the united states must get directly involved in order to get the transparency and the full accountability that the secretary state entity blinking has promised that the united states will seek to try and achieve relative dismissed. the powerful chief of the revolutionary guard intelligent service state television reported her saying they dismissal, but gave no further details. they worked as the office, so at the office of iran supreme leader at the harmony before becoming the guard intelligence chief in 2009 ukraine is taking a major step towards membership of the european union after the leaders of member
