6:02 pm
welcome to the news hour. they were found in sweltering heat inside an abandoned truck in texas. at least 50 people have now died in what's been called one of the deadliest tragedies affecting migrants along the us mexico border. the white house says it's committed to act against humans smuggling networks. victoria gate and b begins, are coverage. the grim discovery was made in a remote area on the outskirts of san antonio in texas. a man working near by heard a cry for help and saw a trailer with the doors partially opened. inside the wood, dozens of bodies piled on top of one another. temperatures in the area had reached 39 degrees centigrade on monday. those who survived mostly young adults and children were too weak to get out of the trailer paces that we saw were hot to the touch. they were suffering all from heat stroke. you'd exhaustion. ah,
6:03 pm
no signs of water in the vehicle. it was a refrigerated tractor trailer. but there was no of visible working ac unit on that rig. the victims a believe to be migrants who crossed the us mexico, buddha, looking for a better life. this appears to be one of the worst cases of migrant deaths in the us in recent years. so the plight of migrants, city refuse is always the humanitarian crisis, but to night we are dealing with a horrific human tragedy. so i would urge. busy busy who have been compassionately and pray for the deceased the ailing. with families, the trailer was found near a major highway that stretches all the way to the border with mexico. san antonio police have made arrests. we have 3 people in custody. we don't know if they are absolutely connected to this or not. this investigation has been
6:04 pm
turned over to h aside. it is now a federal investigation. the migration crisis at the u. s. saw the buddha is a problem for president biden, whose approval ratings are low. republicans are focusing on the issue ahead of the mid term elections in november. human rights group say the crisis is being politicized by both sides. in the meantime, migrants continue to cross the border. in this case with tragic consequences. victoria gate and b algae 0 or got an update with our white house correspondent kimberly hawk. i was running us from washington to 1st. hello. so more on the white house, his reaction to this tragedy. kimberly yeah, the u. s. president has been braves to on this tragedy. we have had an update from the press secretary crenshaw pierre. she spoke aboard air force, one as the president was traveling to madrid for 3 days of meetings with world leaders at the nato summit that is occurring there. what we know is that the
6:05 pm
president has been briefed on this tragedy. he's continuing to coordinate with officials on the ground. and the white house is taking action. she said to disrupt this human smuggling networks. but for now, what the white house says it is doing is focusing on what it calls the facts. in other words, what is fearful is that right now, there is a lot of politicization that is taking place around this tragedy. given the fact that this has been a hot political issue in the united states for decades, the issue of a legal migration and the fact that so many thousands of people crossed into the united states from the southern mexico border. now we should point out that this is not the 1st time a tragedy like this has occurred. in fact, there have been multiple tragedy 7 occurred going back decades. we can tell you just in the last year alone,
6:06 pm
there has been at least 50 people that died just in last december, when a bus rolled in southern mexico and then in october. in fact, there were another 6 tractor trailers very similar to this one that was discovered that had 652 migrants there were discovered inside at a military check point. those people were found alive, but it just gives you a sense of how many people are willing to take the risks and the desperate journey in order to try and make it to the united states. yes, kimberly, and speaking of this being a political issue in the country, i mean, it certainly is one in the state of texas. what are we hearing from texas particularly and officials? they're the texas governor republican governor by the name of greg abbott is blaming the u. s president joe biden, for this human tragedy saying that it is his policies that have allowed this to occur. basically what he's saying is that in contrast to the previous president,
6:07 pm
donald trump, who is very hard line on immigration, you remember he was trying to build a wall to stop illegal crossings into the united states. the contrast has been that joe biden is perceived as being very soft on a border, a crime if you will, and is very welcoming to those that are migrating to the united states from honduras, from guatemala, from mexico and elsewhere. and as a result, there has been a flood of migrants making that northern journey into the u. s. border from that southern border. and so the governor is saying, basically, as long as you do not enforce the law, they're going to continue to be people that are going to make this dangerous track . and they're going to be people that are going to lose their lives. so the governor is saying that this is jo biden's fault, but to put this into context,
6:08 pm
in reality, this is an issue that has not been resolved by either democrats or republicans for about 20 years. thank you so much. or white house correspondent can we? how can reporting from washington, dc ah, in central ukraine firefighters are looking for a survivors trapped under the rubble of destroyed shopping. all the russian foreign minister has denied targeting the shopping center where at least 18 people were killed in monday's missile strike. world leaders have condemned the attack, and france has called it a war crime. charles stratford reports from keith. bloodied bandied faces, and in short, ah, husband and wife, nicola and luc. mila tried to comfort each other. they were inside the shopping all when the missile hit their shoes, that the gear shall rose. i flew head 1st and splinters hits my body. the whole
6:09 pm
place was collapsing. i then landed on the floor and i don't know if i was conscious or unconscious. i didn't understand anything. i opened my eyes, i saw a big piece of rubble was on top of me. i started to scream, help me. what was coming from somewhere? the water woke me up. id. it's funny, bicola describes the scene one if glare he, bull, michigan. i saw lots of wounded people burned people, some were covered in blood, one girl fell down and we helped pull her along. you know, hospital staff worked all night, treat that dozens of wounded people. but not every one thought to the hospital supplied outside people registered the names of friends and family. they cannot find the opera to also a housing. i was working and i heard the explosion and i saw the fire for what i thought my friend's name on the list. but we have no information about whether he's
6:10 pm
alive or not. a burnt out shell is all that remains of the shopping center. emergency services such in the rubble to survivors remains so move, i'm the really eula was working in a shop across the street in the attack. happened. yeah, be little. yeah. you know, they hate us. i'm bella rush and i was born in belarus. this is my fatherland, just didn't ashamed. president laudermill zalinski said there were around a 1000 people inside them all the time versus kilda, or the relating. what center of common shooting today's russian strike on a shopping center in chrome and chuck is one of the most daring terrorist acts in european history and a peaceful city. an ordinary shopping center inside women, children, ordinary civilian, the loss of embodied ukraine's national security and defense council said preliminary data, suggested the russian strike was from one of 2 x 22 cruise missiles fired from an
6:11 pm
aircraft. graham and shook has been hit by russian missiles at least twice before, but they didn't leave this scale of death and destruction. moscow says it's trying to avoid civilian casualties, but hardly a day goes by. when a civilian isn't either killed or injured in a russian missile, strike a long way from the front lines. charles, trifle al jazeera keith. in germany, the warn ukraine has dominated a summit of the world's richest nations leaders, pledged 4 and a half $1000000000.00 to fight global hunger. that's the conflict pushes up global food prices. and on wednesday, nato leaders are also meeting to the side on a pivotal shift and the military alliance to counter russia. the boston reports from germany. it was a summit of strong language, amid scenic views. leaders of the 7 highest income country stressed how united they
6:12 pm
are in the condemnation of russia. the war in ukraine missile attacks on keys and the crowd is supermarket and common took taking place during the summit only increased their anger fighter. we will continue to hold up and drive up the economy and political cost of this war for president prudent and his regime to that end. it's important to stand together also during the long haul, and that will surely be at stake here long and, and we will also resolutely counter the russian narrative that this is actually a conflict. and we're only the west and the so called global west. if condemning this attack, and otherwise the world is watching, what russia is actually doing, that is not the case, isn't leaders. acknowledge the fall out of the war is increasingly being felt around the world and needs urgent action. but they sat little about a possible solution to a russian blockade of ukrainian grain. an additional $4500000000.00 package to protect people around the world against hunger is seen by 8 organizations as disappointing focuses on the warranty,
6:13 pm
ukraine. and they found billions and billions of dollars for that. and they haven't found the money that we need to, to find hunger for their own. communicate is that over 323000000 people worldwide, a new record could face salvation in the next few months. 4 and a half $1000000.00 is a drop in the ocean for that. so it's a real finding by the g 7 with the war and ukraine and the energy crisis, taking nearly all their attention. the main loser here seems to be the climate, a german lat, reversal on a band for public funding on fossil fuels seen by environmental brooks as a real setback. while still, depending on russian fossil fuel, so their energy supply, g 7 lead us appeared more concerned with lowering energy prices and trying to reduce rushes, large profits on oil and gas. they agreed to investigate whether to impose a controversial price cap on russian oil. let. let's just forget the cable
6:14 pm
companies observe the situation as absurd. the rise and global energy prices helps to fund the war in russia. that's the reality. so the idea to cap prices is a very good one. the difficulty is a technical one. russian oil doesn't flow only through one pipe sold in several countries, and if you will be with many crises unresolved, the leaders are traveling to madrid, to join other nato partners at a summit, which will determine the future of the alliance. steadfast and al jazeera in gamez patton, kia him once more, had on the l 0 news hour, including the 101 year olds who's been sent to jail for his time. as enough. the guard city of la clay, remembered, we report from london where a service has been held, celebrating the life i'm work of the al jazeera journalist killed by it's really forces in for one of the players. for the wimbledon title has been forced to withdraw details coming up
6:15 pm
a little later. ah . but 1st police in india have arrested the co founder of the fact checking websites, old news. how much of air has been a critic, a prime minister, and a window motor government? you bear, had exposed controversial comments about the profit? how much? by event b. j. p spokesman, the committee to protect journalists has condemned his arrest. san jacob, poor as the editor of hard news, and a general secretary of the editor's guild of india. he says indian society is becoming more aware of the importance of fact checking in the media. a deal about 8 or 9 years ago. nobody paid much attention to a fact checkers or so can just come up with a spread of disinformation, which has become so rampant that i think practically the people that you look on or to confirm what is being stated up without, especially on the twitter and facebook to be correct or not. so from that
6:16 pm
standpoint, i think back because of important. then as he confessed to himself, my mom was of a, it is not a journalist, he's a practicum. and that to, in a certain way, proofs we are on, in the face of all those people who use dis, inflammation as a tool for lowering the credibility of media and also porter, executing whatever agenda they might be having or the perpetuating certain kinds of divisiveness. and this is the deepening divide of a kind which allows them to create a certain violence or many things that they have in the world. so this information is very important then needed to be some kind of intervention that had to be done with the internet, especially in the new social media platforms that come in. and they needed to be, you know, checked on a matter that people start understanding that whatever this is not a proud i a truth and they need to be cautious about it. i think that understanding
6:17 pm
that awareness is really grown in the, in, in society that people have begun to say, oh, this is not, this is part of lack of media that has been put out so sure it is a bit of a casualty, but i think i'll use as a major role in raising awareness on that and a man has been beheaded in the indian state of russia, foreigner, the states chief minister has, can condemn the act in the city of with a poor. harmony with all is joining via skype from new delhi. so probably what we know about the be heading. it's an absolutely horrifying and shocking incident. it took place earlier today in the city or that we're in weston in doubt. what we know from local media reporting and from video that have emerged on social media is that to man, went to a shop and can brutally killed and be headed a man over there. we've also, we don't have all so much of the same to men saying that they're going to carry out
6:18 pm
the similar to act against prime minister november the movie. now, no call me does also reporting that the man would be headed because of a social media post in this social media, both he allegedly supported newport sharma, sha informa folks, and one of the prime minister in the mo, the b j. p party. she made this number for the comments recently the diplomatic route with various countries in the, in the guys region. that was all the domestic ball out there will process. and how to protest sharma claim that there had been many of check made against her life. and so this incident is being seen as part of that domestic fun out not. 7 of the situation in pursuit of roger on is concerned, security has been tightened in many cities, there is a coffee that has been sounded, the internet has been suspended and the police are looking for these 2 men. all
6:19 pm

6:20 pm
was filled with thousands of protesters then, but he's got the quality, i guess, shooting him. yeah. and then it was out as if he now the police are over there and then with right behind the park seminar, how to speak. so basically what we're seeing right now is a new client for the greater than what they're trying to do is try to push her what while the police are over there. what's the tenants and don't ready know behind me some of that that was a born prior. and we expect the police to stand any minute from now because of publication. we saw them mobbing canisters of to, i guess i could demonstrate what they're asking for, is the government to quickly intervene and bring about change to vietnam. it situation and also reduce the hardship in this country. what they're talking about
6:21 pm
is basically the high cost of woodstock high cost of doing a high cost of living across donna. those are wanting a document to be removed. a seal. the government is when you talk to i go with my thank you, we'll let you go for now. that's my de denise reporting for us from a crow. where as you can see, protest ers,

6:25 pm
of berlin from where i am now speaking to you from. and this man, well, every day that he would work there, he don is uniform, pick up his weapon and stand there in the watched hours walking around the camp, while thousands of people were persecuted there, it's estimated that around a half of all the inmates who ever went to saxon halls and during the nazi government died there. many of them starved to death worked to death. many of them also actively murdered when you go to the camp. it is hard to believe that somebody could say that they were there as a member of the oppressive regime and not see the sorts of criminality atrocities that were taking place there on a daily basis. still had on the al jazeera news, our a tank of talks, a gas falls from a crane at a port in jordan killing at least 12 people. and the former f one champion is facing allegations of racism over what he said about louis hamilton. that story is

6:31 pm
been presented to you? and her only words very quietly were yes, i have a she is now being sentenced after being convicted of sex trafficking of a minor 5 of 6 counts and a trial that lasted a month in december and a jury deliberations. it lasted 5 full days, a since then. she's been in jail in brooklyn, awaiting this very big day this day where the judge is going to sentence her to the crimes that she was convicted of. now the prosecutors have asked for up to 55 years in jail, but the defense attorneys are saying that they only think that she should get between 4 and 5 years. so that's a very big discrepancy there. it now all rests with this judge. there will be making this decision. i can tell you that numerous of victims of jeffrey epstein and glean maxwell are inside the court house at least 3 that i counted and
6:32 pm
were expecting that within the next few minutes the judge will allow potentially some of these victims to address the court before their sentencing is handed down, but clearly this is going to be the final chapter in what was one of the world's biggest and most salacious international. sex trafficking. a scandalous that has been seen in recent memory. glean maxwell one set british socialite that would rub elbows in, socialized with some of the richest and most powerful princes and politicians. the world has now facing potentially 55 years in prison potentially. but we'll have to see what the judge ultimately decides. all right, and we'll cross back to you when that happens. gabriel. thank you so much. gabriel is on the reporting from outside the courthouse in new york. a committee created under the 2016 piece deal with colombia as far rebels will release its final report
6:33 pm
on the countries decades long conflict. almost 30000 people were interviewed in the past 5 years for that report, alessandro petty's joining us from over time, where the report will be submitted in the coming hour, alessandra. but what can we expect from the reports? the varying. there are great expectations across the country and florida report. it has been almost 4 years in the making as you were saying, the commission that was created under the terms of the 2016 p seal between the quote i'm going to say. and a fact, rebel says interview very 1000 people. and this process i've been, i'm analyzing spouse's documents. they spoke 2 big things of the call, con, call phrase rebel fighters, military even x, a frenzy, they have to pay it in the process which promises to be the most
6:34 pm
thorough examination of this half a century. conflicts that has been produced yet. that's also been a proc process at controversial one with some sectors of columbia society worried about what will come out of it. the expectation is that the colombians say the military and pro military will be blamed for the bulk of most of the human rights violation. but also the fact that another rebel groups will be particularly response in this particular responsible when it comes to the massive policy of kidnapping for, for example, also in the very great violations when it comes to sex mode violence that have happened through the years. and in particular, at the height of the conflict in the 900 ninety's in early 2000. and when this
6:35 pm
conflict that started between a confrontation between the states and the fark expanded to a larger confrontation involving the military group, set, the role that the drago mafia is also played. and also nationally, with the role of the united states place to the problem that funding the columbia military to the years. billions of dollars spent that even when, according to some of the documents that we expect to be present, that the u. s. new, for example, that was involved in grave human rights violations among them, the killing left the political and social leaders in the council. right. and i was sandra. how significant is it that the report is actually being published? when, earlier this month, the country elected its 1st leftist president, who, himself was also a former member of a guerrilla movement. the, absolutely, this is
6:36 pm
a key moment for this happening. and that's because, apart from telling the story of what happened, examining those fax documents. the expectation is that the reports well present the number of recommendations. policies that for the next governments will be expected to put in place to implement, to avoid the return of a conflict that one columbia has seen in the future. and the expectation here is that the new governments, gustavo, will accept those recommendations and work to implement them and look at several of the printer is expected to be here and less than an hour to participate, to follow this presentation well, outgoing president. steven will not. and i think that's, that's the way in which part of the society is being report. the big
6:37 pm
question here is, if indeed this report will help unify the country and avoid the kinds of conflicts that we've seen in the past, or is that if they will divide a very polarized country, a lot of it will be not only what in the report but what will happen next for the next 2 months, the commissioners will go across the country to present this report, and then another commission will work for 70 or to follow the implementation of those recommendations. thank you so much on a sandra, patsy reporting from boca tom in ecuador, indigenous leaders and government officials are negotiating to end a nationwide strike, although the government has agreed to meet some of the striker's demands. differences do remain our latin america editor lucio newman reports in the capital kito. oh, well, negotiations to end ecuador is crippling. nationwide strike have been

these particular talks here in geneva are essentially the result of 3 rounds of negotiations that concluded a week ago in cairo that made progress, but didn't reach any particular breakthrough. what they're trying to do is to get the country back to a, a more stable and shore a version of where we were back in december 2021. as the country looked like it was heading towards its 1st elections and in, in some time. now those elections were abandoned at the last minute because these 2 rival factions couldn't agree on various things. i think stephanie williams thinks that time is running out and you got a sense of that from her opening statements here in geneva to day when she said it's now time to make a final courageous effort to ensure that this historic compromise takes place for the sake of libya, the libyan people and the credibility of its institutions. but we don't know yet
