10:12 pm
efforts by humanitarian partners to reach civilians or for them to access the support they need. one statistic shed light on this concern. since 24 february, the world health organization has recorded 323 attacks on health care facilities and personnel, resulting and 76 deaths. we strongly remind all parties of their obligations under international humanitarian law. all adequate measures must be taken to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure. mr. president, ukraine is suffering. the largest human displacement crisis in the world today. since the start of the russian invasion, more than one quarter of the country's population, 12000000 people have been forced from their homes with in ukraine over 7100000 people remain displaced by the war. you and hcr estimates there over 5200000

10:14 pm
but far beyond ukraine's borders. as the secretary general noted on $89.00 during the launch of the 2nd brief of the un global crisis response group on food, energy, and finance. the war is exacerbating the greatest cost of living crisis. and a generation price shocks in the global food energy and for a letter. fertilizer markets are escalating in a world already grappling with the coven, 19 pandemic, and climate change. to address this multi dimensional threat, strong political will disclose the motor law. you're listening to a live session of the united nations security council taking place at un headquarters in new york or expecting ukrainian present to address them out of the council. and of course, there have been continuing calls for that to be in an immediate halt to the violence in that country. thousands of people have lost their lives. millions of people have been displaced, not just those who have been forced to leave ukraine to neighboring countries like
10:15 pm
poland, but also the many millions more that are in timely, displaced inside ukraine. but what is important about this session is that they're also discussing the devastating consequences beyond ukraine's borders. there is a food crisis in the world. it's affecting the most vulnerable, the poorest communities. and so we were hearing just there about the need to try and secure food and fertilizer exports from ukraine and russia to the wider world because of devastating food insecurity and shortages that could potentially lead to hunger out us authorities of opened a criminal investigation after at least, 50 migrants were found dead in an abandoned truck in the southern state of texas. americas president has called it a hot breaking and horrifying tragedy. these bodies were discovered in san antonio around 250 kilometers from the us. mexico border officials were alerted by
10:16 pm
a passer by. you had cries for help, white house as human smugglers are to blame for this. never mind to crack down on their networks. some people were found alive inside the truck, suffering heat exhaustion. the patients that we saw were hot to the touch. they were suffering for stroke, heat exhaustion are no signs of water in the vehicle. it was a refrigerator tractor trailer, but there was no visible working on that rig. so john holeman, he's right there. he is going to be life for us in mexico city. we'll hear from him 1st though. want to speak to our white house correspondent, kimberly how kits and kimberly. is there any more information about how this could have happened? well, what we know is that this is not a rare occurrence. sadly, in fact, these types of operations are happening with quite a bit of frequency. we know that there have been in recent months,
10:17 pm
a number of tractor trailers like this one or trucks that have been apprehended, jammed full of those people hoping to make their way to the united states in search of a better life. in fact, just in december, there was a truck that rolled over just south of the united states border and mexico. 50 people were inside of that vehicle. and then in october there were 6 vehicles with 652 people crammed inside. they were stopped at a military check point. these are the ones that were just discovered. there's so many that do actually cross into the united states. and so the u. s. president making a statement today talking about the problem of this ongoing human smuggling. really pinpointing that this is the reason for this tragedy and pointing that this underscores the need to go after what he calls, the multi $1000000000.00 smuggling industry. that is praying on human desperation.
10:18 pm
what he says is that they have no regard for the lives in danger, and they exploit to make a profit. so what we know is that the u. s. president is consulting with the 1st responders on the ground. there is still an effort to collect the facts, but the white house is also pointing to the fact that a very recently, just a few weeks ago, in fact, the president was in los angeles, had already launched an anti smuggling campaign. it has apprehended about 2400 people linked to human smuggling human trafficking. and we should also point out that this is something that the white house is going to be meeting with. the upcoming is, or rather the pro, it is going to be meeting with the mexican liter air. on july 12th, there is going to be a meeting of these 2 world leaders at the white house. they're going to be talking about a number of economic issues,
10:19 pm
but they're also going to be talking about migration. given the fact that this is once again being spotlighted as a result of this tragedy. all right, thank you very much. i was correspond, kimberly alcott with a reaction there. let's go now to john home and he's in mexico. city is so close. it's been described as such a tragic loss of life. there have been a few survivors from this incident. john, now what is president? manila has a br door hat to say where he'd sent his condolences, obviously to the families of those that might have died or in hospital at the moment in his morning press conference, which gives every day. he also said that this is all about. he said the root cause of this is the desperation and poverty of people heading from southern mexico. all the countries that are just below mexico, that's guatemala, honduras, and el salvador and fervor field still to try to get to some sort of a safe country for them. in terms of escaping from poverty or escaping from
10:20 pm
criminality, especially in el salvador, honduras in guatemala gangs are a real problem. now that's something the president biden and president lopez over the door to some extent on the same page. talking about some sort of initiative to help the root causes of poverty that criminality in those countries. and when president biden 1st got into office, he did have a plan for a multi $1000000.00 plan for that which president lopez over the door supported. now they're going to come together and just over it naturally, 2 weeks time on july, the 12 to speak. so it's interesting to see if anything will come out of that as well. that will, kimberly was speaking a bit about there is of this is not just to us problem. this is also a mix can problem in terms of where these trailers and trucks coming from just more than 6 months ago. now in the southern state of chapters, more than 50 migrants died while a trailer crushed. so this is something the mit crews also sent an investigative
10:21 pm
team to san antonio to try and see what might of cause base and what might have happened next console that led to it. so we'll see what the investigation turns out for now. thank you very much. john holman, in mexico city. now in other news, the following protests are broken out in the indian terrorist city of di, poor after a hindu man, was killed in an attempt to be heading to muslim men say they were behind the murder and roger don state and have posted a video of the attack, which have reportedly warned prime minister render modi of a similar fate. the men have been arrested and internet services suspended with police asking people not to share the video. probably michelle has worn out from new delhi to man, went to a shop and kill, brutally killed and beheaded a man over there. we've also videos about so much of the same to men
10:22 pm
saying that they're going to carry out the similar act against prime minister knowing the movie. now, no can. we does also reporting that the man would be headed because of a social media posts in this social media. both he allegedly supported new per sharma chart is a former book. so one of the prime minister marines mo, these b j. p party, she made this number for the comments recently. that's false diplomatic route with various countries in the, in the guys region that was all for domestic fall out there will process and come 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 part of the situation in received of roger on is concerned. security has been tightened in many cities. there is a culture that has been sounded opposition, politicians,
10:23 pm
and activists. of course, for the release of an indian muslim journalist, accused of hurting religious sentiments. barman's barrett was detained by new delhi police on monday, after anonymous user lodged a complaint about a tweet he posted 4 years ago. so there is a co founder of the fact checking website, old news, and a vocal critic of parmesan render modi's government. he was arrested several days after exposing controversial comments made by a former b j. p. spokeswoman about the prophet mohammed now senior aid to donald trump's, former chief of staff says the former you as president grabbed the steering wheel of a car and demanded to be taken to the capitol. on the day of the january 6th riots, president just finished his speech outside the white house, where he pray, supportive support as it gathered in washington. the u. s. house committee investigating the attack also heard that trump knew some of his supporters were armed. the president had very strong,
10:24 pm
very angry response to that. tony described him as being irate the president said something to the effect of, i'm the, i've been president, take me up to the capital now. to which bobby responded, sir, we have to go back to the west wing. the president reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel. mister engel grabbed his arm, said sir, you need to take your head off the steering wheel. we're going back to the west when we're not going to the capitol. mister trump then used his free hand to lunch towards bobby angle. and mister, when mister, are not a head count of the stories me, he motioned towards his clavicles. i did joe castro joins as live now from capital . i was there an expectation heidi, that cassidy hutchinson's testimony would be quite so powerful.
10:25 pm
right? there was a huge mystery as far as what she would say. but the expectation would be that she, as the 1st forma whitehouse, trump employee to testify publicly, could have some brown groundbreaking information. and many would say she delivers that anecdote you've just heard. really was the most shocking part of this terrible any of the testimony in which she recounted what she heard from that head, security, official, bobby angle reference and what we just heard or say who was in behind the vehicle behind the wheel and attached essentially by the president, now i have to say that trump has reacted to this testimony on his social media site and 9 that the physical altercation took place. but this was just one of several episodes that was counted by kathy hutchinson. the witness, there she is, a former aide to trump last chief of staff,
10:26 pm
mark meadows. and she said that getting physically aggressive these explosive episode was something that trump was known for, that he has thrown his lunch against the wall that she has clean, catch up, dripping down the wall. other things like that. and also that after the january 6th right unfolded, there were multiple people within the white house who thought presidential, pardon miriam. thank you very much from capitol hill, heidi joe castro. now jolaine maxwell has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for helping 1000000 a jeffrey epstein, sexually abused under age girls 60 year old was convicted in december for recruiting and grooming gulf epstein during the 1900 ninety's in early 2 thousands . maxwell apologize to the victims on tuesday. thanks. she hoped her sentence would bring peace and finality. okay. for as on day joins us life meal was been the reaction that to the sentencing. well we've
10:27 pm
spirit spoken to several of the victims who have come out of court within the last half hour. so and they all are pleased with this sentence. they feel relief, ones told me that she thought that this was appropriate and that she could now perhaps move on with her life. clearly the prosecutors had asked for as much as 55 years. the defense was hoping for between 4 and 5 years. so the 20 year sentence that the judge handed down many of the victims that we've spoken to felt was very appropriate. it would now mean that glen maxwell, her 1st opportunity to be released from jail, or if she serves her full sentence. she would be 80 years old when released from jail. now this was a sentencing that lasted a little over 4 hours. and we heard from several of her victims who spoke directly to glen maxwell in court,
10:28 pm
explaining to glen maxwell and the judge about how much pain they suffered over the last 20 years. so years from the, from the trauma that they say they suffered at the hands of her and jeffrey epstein . but clearly this british socialite who once rubbed shoulders with princes and precedence. now we'll be spending the next 20 years in prison in new york. all right, camera, arizona, and neal, thank you. scientists thank line that changes to blame from most of the heat ways being recorded around the world that it's linked to droughts and on the catastrophes is not that clam challenge. that brings us estonia hotter for longer, more often, and in more unusual places. heat waves are being intensified by climate change. as people across asia and europe suffer the consequences of record high temperatures. scientists say new attribution studies prove heat wave,
10:29 pm
a driven by man made temperature increases. we have so many more heat waves. we have heat waves in europe, and we have heat waves in saudi arabia, ravia at the moment we have heat base and china right now. we have heat waves in the us, and this is exactly what sort of the review paper also shows. we just see the frequency of heat williams has gone up so much. so this is, this is very much we don't need to do attribution studies on every single one of them. because we know already that climate change is a key driver. here is extreme weather events from scorching temperatures to torrential rains cause widespread death and destruction. research has tried to identify the influence of climate change on individual weather events going back 20 years. in the last 3 months, monsoon reigns on least disastrous flooding in bangladesh. killing dozens in displacing 4 and a half 1000000 people. well, prolonged drought has left millions on the brink of fallon in east africa. while
10:30 pm
the same analysis of these events don't draw a direct link with climate change, it is still a factor. we know generally things like rainfall are getting more extreme. that's kind of generally true, but it's a little more nuanced what we have seen across the worlds. a lot of serious and very damaging. floods become more likely he to climate change. well, the study highlight is that despite he weighs killing 857000 people worldwide between 202020. some countries still do monitor them or even agree how to define them. there's not enough information coming from lower the middle income countries . and the economic impacts on productivity infrastructure and property often goes unmeasured and health consequences, unnoticed in tokyo. currently experiencing the worst heat waves and $1875.00 electricity demand is outstripping supply threatening power outages. but we're.
