president jason things sways. and john lee as hong kong new chief executive, 25 years off. that's returned to china. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this is al jazeera la you from dough also coming up. the u. s. supreme court limits president biden's ability to cops emissions from our stations . the u. n says it's bad news for climate change. this is a setback in our fight against climate change when we all ready for off track the u . s. president hale's nato unity, as the alliance wraps up at summit with a new strategic plan to strengthen its eastern plus a business protest. as in ecuador celebration agreement and 18 days, been nationwide strike. ah,

hancock's former security chief john lee has been sworn in as the territories new leader. he was elected by committee in may running as the sole candidate lead lead the crackdown on pro democracy protest as in 2019. john is president. she, she pink presided over the ceremony. it, she's 1st trip outside of the mainland since the corona virus pandemic, when it coincides with events marking 25 years in hong kong, was returned to china from britain earlier a flag raising, sarah may launch the day celebrations, a mid tight security ahead of the event president, she said the territory, i've been reborn from the ashes. the adrian brown joins us live now from hong kong . adrian. so hong kong has a new lead, a talk through the significance of the swearing in what we can expect from john lee . well, as you pointed out in your introduction, john lee is a former security minister. he's also a former policeman and his entire career has been rooted insecurity. and i think

that tells you the sort of candidate that china wanted to run hong kong he was of course, the only candidate in the election that he won. but he has the credentials. i think that china wants right now, and it's a reflection. i feel of what their priorities off right now. now john lee doesn't have any real political experience. i can tell you what he won't be doing. they'll be no talk of him. sort of expanding democracy are increasing political reform here in hong kong. that simply isn't on the cards. he said in his address a short time ago that he wanted to try and turn hub in to turn on kong. much more into a, a hub of new industries. he said he wanted, hein con, con dick had some of its old dynamism return, but there was no mention of hong kong easing. it's strict 0 cove it policies, which means that people flying into hong kong have to quarantine for a week and business group say look, this is one of the reason why hong kong economy is continuing to sing. so no

movement, it seems on that controversial 0 covey policy. in the last few minutes, darren, we've also been hearing from president teaching ping, he's been addressing delegates attending the swearing in ceremony. he said one quite interesting thing. he said that there is no reason why the one country to systems formula under which hong kong is governed, cannot continue beyond 2047 at the moment. we are half way through that transition period from british to chinese rule. in 2047. hong kong is supposed to integrate into the rest of china, but she is saying now, well, there's no reason why this arrangement can continue. but of course it would be very much on china's terms if that were to happen. yeah. and adrian, we know her that she's in ping is in hong kong, and this is very much a victory lap for him. is me? yeah, i think that's a very good way of putting it. i think that this is not just

a celebration of 25 years of china's rule over hong kong. it is also a celebration and a sense of china's communist party over its political opponents. in hong kong, you have to remember that, you know, a couple of years ago the communist party viewed the protest taking part place here in hong kong. and at times they were very violent as an existential threat to the communist party. and the former governor of hong kong law patton has said that the subsequent crack down here in kong, hong kong, the implementation of that new national security law, which has seen the arrest of so many people is a demonstration of what the party will do if it feels that its survival is threatened, or to adrian brown life as they're in hong kong agent. thank you. now, the biden administration's plan to tackle the climate crisis has suffered a major setback. the u. s. supreme court has decided to restrict the ability of environmental protection agency, the e p, a to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. the case was filed by

a number of republican lead states in response to a government plan requiring them to shift away from coal fired power generation. but a supreme court ruled e p a does not have broader authority to regulate emissions. the ruling cast doubt on the government's gold at a padded wanting unclean energy by 2035 or president biden. describe the court's decision as devastating and a step backwards. a sentiment echoed by the united nations. while it is not our role to provide legal commentary on judicial decisions of individual individual member states, just more generally, i can say that this is a setback in our fight against climate change. when we already far off track in meeting the goals of the paras agreement, the secretary general has said repeatedly that the g 20 must lead the way in dramatically stepping up climate action, flesh or to lauren gifford is a climate expert at the university of arizona and joined us live via zoom from lewisville in colorado at laurens to the supreme court has clearly taken sides with

conservative states and the fossil fuel companies. so what impact is going to happen on prevalent biden's climate plans? lauren, can you hear me at all? yes i this is darren. yes it is. darren, i was just, i was just saying to look at it. it seems the supreme court a sided with those conservative states and those fossil fuel companies. what, what impact is this ruling gonna have then on biden's climate plans? do we think, you know, i just wanted to share with you 1st, the, one of the dissenting justices atlanta keegan, and they're kagan and she, she wrote it very thankfully. and she said today the court strips, the environmental protection agency of the power congress gave it to respond to the most pressing environmental challenge of our time. and as a climate social scientist though, i would even just say the most pressing challenge of our time. so what this means

for, for biden's goal, for the clean power, this is her aggressive action in a time when we need very progressive even radical action towards renewable energy infrastructure towards large scale carbon removal towards helping communities through the just transition away from fossil fuels. this is a step in the wrong direction, and many people have been saying in my circle today and on twitter, it's a gut punch. lawrence, who are the main loses here then? is it also humans? and i guess the planet more generally, you know, people and the planet the, those are the losers, right? so we know the winners are the conservative states, the conservative elected official, the fossil fuel industry, essentially everyone else, humans, the ecosystem, the atmosphere. these are all people who are going to lose out because as the scientist they work with say, we're coming up against what we call planetary boundaries. sort of the limits of

what the earth can take to sustain humanity in the way it has been. and we really need to reduce the use of fossil fuel and greenhouse gas pollution and the circle back lower and just the final port you, i mean, where does the supreme court ruling now leave the drive towards the more renewable clean energy infrastructure in the u. s. i mean, if the ruling doesn't follow science and logic as the critics say, what's next? you know, we don't know and it's scary, but we're going to have to address this at different scale, right at the community scale at the state scale at the united nation scale. and we're even seeing a lot of private companies step up and make commitments to net 00 emissions by 2030 or 2050. and that's where we're going to have to see real climate action because the federal government isn't there for us right now. lauren gifford really good to talk to you. thank you very much. indeed, very inside and well, those days ruling coincided with an historic change to the supreme court lineup.

yes, it sounds about jackson was one of the 1st black woman to serve as a justice on the court. 51 year old will take the seat of returning stephen breath . jackson joins a liberal minority. he's been ever ruled in recent decisions and abortion rights and done law. yes, president jo biden's made a fresh appeal for all nations to defend ukraine from russia's invasion. speaking at the end of the nato summit in madrid, he said the military alliance will defend every inch of its territory. he also pledged another $800000000.00 of us weapons ukrainian forces. general reports from great, against the backdrop of russia's war in ukraine. nato has agreed the biggest changes in its defensive posture since the cold war. we have faced the most serious security situation in decades. but you are, i seem to the challenge with unity solve members contributions to an enhanced state

of military readiness on nato's east and flank were led by the united states. president joe biden said the lines had never been stronger or more uniting. we reaffirm that article why a commitment is sacred and an attack on one is an attack on all and we will defend every edge of nato territory every inch of nato territory. president biden announced a permanent army base in poland. the 1st full time us deployment on nato's eastern fringes, the u. s. will also send 2 additional squadrons of f. 35 jets to the u. k. sweden and finland were formally invited to become members marking the alliance. his most significant expansion in decades and ukrainian president followed him as landscape told alliance members via video link that he believes russia will target lithuanian . next, the summit will have provided the vulnerable baltic states with a degree of reassurance. nato is ready to defend all

allies, including of course, the baltic states and latvia, because the intention of declared intention is to dominate over over the whole of europe. nobody and let me put in reacted to nato's expansion . the saying if military assets were moved to finland, sweden, russia would respond in kind, a kudos and those are worth and now it will be a walk. don't they understand that everything was going falling between us, but now there will be tensions that certainly will. it is obvious and inevitable. i repeat, if they represent a threatening to us, the only hint this unity came from president of the one who'd lifted his objections to finland and sweetens membership bids on tuesday night. after a deal was reached between the 3 on measures that could lead to the extradition of members of courteous groups wanted in turkey, he warned that if he didn't see swift action on those commitments, well,

the membership ratification process could yet be held up in the turkish parliament in his closing comments, nato's secretary general, described a world that is more dangerous and unpredictable, and he wore the things could get worse. a summit that took in climate change terrorism and the weaponized zation of space seldom strayed far from the russian threat. during the whole, al jazeera at madrid, ukrainian officials says at least 10 people have been killed in a russian missile strike on an apartment building. it happened in the black sea port, city of odessa, ukrainian media say the 9 story building was hit overnight, wounding 7 people, including 3 children. also to come here now does air, including, ah, another wave of anger and saddam against military rulers. knowing people are killed in the violence and all that remains of an independent hero of gold crowned tooth

number was laid to rest in democratic republic of congo, mormon ah, how we got some very heavy rain in the forecast. southwestern parts of the u. s. got a drenching coming down, just around the 4 corners states. down toward sir, arizona, new mexico chain of cloud. they're just pushing up across the plains, up towards the northern plains, into central areas of canada, some wet weather coming through here. but elsewhere, it really is about the heat that east and 3rd of north america, seeing some very high temperatures, yet again to temperatures, getting up into the mid thirties for many touching 40 celsius. once again, they're in phoenix and the state pretty hot as we go on through the next few days. gotta watch out for this little tropical system here. pushing up towards the far

oh, wherever you go in the world, one airline goes to make it for you. exceptional katara always going places to go. ah ah, welcome back, a good reminder. what top stories here this our hong kong former security chief, john lee, has been sworn in as the territories new leader. who said the national security law introduced in 2020, about stability of the anti government protest in 2019. but your supreme court has ruled to limit the ability of the environmental protection agency to regulate emissions from power plants. it's a major setback in the bible administration's plan to tackle the planet crisis and

use president obama has called in the will to stand behind ukraine. his remarks came at the end of the nato summit in the grid biden, also pledged under the $800000000.00 worth of your slippers. full great forces. though i could always government has reached a deal with indigenous leaders to end an 18 day. nationwide strike, a state of emergency has been lifted and the governments agreed to reduce petrol prices. indigenous groups had been demonstrating for 2 weeks calling for controls and prices and other reforms. the unrest us cost the country, maybe half a $1000000000.00. officials also promised to stop oil and mining concessions on indigenous lamp. if we are suspending our strike action, but if the agreements are not respected in 90 days, we will be forced to act again to demand their fulfillment from our side. we will do all we can to support these agreements in all the represent approximately a $1000000000.01 through our struggle to help the poorest communities

after 7 deaths and hundreds of injured demonstrators and security voices. one of ecuador is longest and most conflict of stripes has ended visiting key and molasses tweeted, we have reached the supreme value that we all aspire to piece in our country. now together we will work towards turning this piece into progress, well being and opportunities for all 18 days of nationwide roadblocks placed by indigenous strikers and fierce clashes between riot police and demonstrators. have caused ecuador, an estimated half a $1000000000.00. oh, it would was powerful confederation of indigenous nations, which is made up mainly of farming communities, had demanded sharp cuts and fuel prices. food and fertilizers is better. okay, go murder. the president should not have waited for people to die or be injured or

lose their eyes before listening to our demands. with a porous oak president guillermo lasso, a conservative banker finally came, did the pressure to reduce petrol and diesel, but only by $0.15 a gallon for less than what the strikers had originally demanded. oh, they were angry that their leaders had accepted the deal. still the government did agree not to go ahead with plans to expand oil in mining and indigenous territories, as well as to improve education and health services for people. like me said this to my you. she says she can barely walk and has been waiting for 4 months for a doctor to see her because she can't afford private healthcare. they've been the other may meet, but later with big brothers, my father used to come here to fight for land reform. may he rest in peace? this president has never govt for the, for just like his predecessor over the indian and both sides had to make concessions. but as the strikers left the capital to return to their

communities, their leaders warned that it might only be temporary. they say that they've given the government 90 days to prove that they will follow through on their commitments . to see a human al jazeera, kito ecuador to sedan now, or at least 9 protest as have been killed during demonstrations, against the military rule. and that coding for return to civilian rule security forces for tear gas and water cannon as i try to disperse 1000. so out on the streets of the capital cartoon. even morgan reports another wave of mass protests in the sudanese capital for 2 on thursday 1002 to the street to express their anger against the military which to overpower last year. not a month ago when we take the streets every day and people die every day. it's not for nothing. it's for changing it for a civilian government, a democratic government that protects the rights of people. it is our right to

protest, the military will not rule us this country supposed to be a civilian democratic country. protesters are also out against the former ruling party led by president obama. a who was ousted by the military in april 2019 1st day mark 33 years since the crew that his day to grap power. his party has been disbanded after his overthrew but process to see the loyalists are filling, charge in the military and power. now are members of michelle security committee, and all they did was replace the figures, but the former ruling party, still in key positions in government institutions and nothing has changed. and that's why we're out protesting. we're out to overthrow the security committee and the former ruling party security forces you steer guys and live ammunition to disperse. protestors. several were killed and hundreds injured. more than a 100 people have died and anti military demonstrations. the military has repeatedly stated it will not step down unless elections are held or

a political consensus is reached. reaching a political consensus has so far proven to be difficult. talks between political parties facilitated by they nights at nations african union and they regional i guide were by quoted by pro democracy groups and later suspended. and no new date has been set for its resumption. political parties have refused to joined the talks, saying they want to end the military takeover and not enter into a power sharing agreement. unless the ice, he met them at gun, usually either a political solution. if it achieves the aims of the streets, then we can be a part of it. he has the political process in its current form is something we put objective conditions on mold if they're not met. we can't go forward. the most important condition is the aim of the political process. if it's ending the military takeover, we can talk about the ways otherwise we can't go ahead pilot than it up. but the military continues to hold on to power provoking chaos on the streets and hopes for a transition to democracy. fates further, he, bull morgan, alta 0,

harder to whom john is in straight media, has published the text of a proposed new constitution that will give president chi side even more powers expected to put to a referendum. next month, a year after side sat the prime minister and dismissed parliament. critics accused the president of staging, a coon lodge of oakland as mono from a capital to oh, school side which refers to chinese. you're being conscious that the nation of islam and the state to sort of bang to for upholding in the values and objectives of its lam. a previously it was thought that the reference to religion would be taken out of the preamp. so there's a lot of hot debate going on about this several giving trying to find a lot more power and also diminishing the judges. so one of the things that's been included is about a striking for judges was military. and that's

kind of a restructure in terms of how the parliament operates. they'll be a national council as the regions and district. and then that would be quite a different structure. but ultimately the power resides in the hands of the president. i think the one of the things that would be my son from a tree is sort of full fine. what's the last 10? 10. say there's been hope debate about political islam. this is something that has nobody's thoughts, a lot of device on social media. and the been more and more calls for a voice crossing over the referendum. enough dentist on thousands of religious scholars, clerics and tribal elders, have begun the 3 day meeting to discuss the future of the country. it's the 1st gathering of the lawyer juggle. since the taliban sees power almost a year, a good start was interrupted when 2 gunman was shot dead by security nearby the

mail gatherings expected to address topics including education, but women western powers of cosmo down. so over the chances of reviving the 2015 iran nuclear deal speaking at the un security council, the news and baffled to the bodies said the deal might not make it to the finishing line. the latest indirect talks between the us in iran ended with no new progress on wednesday. both sides blame each other. failing to break the deadlock rod has yet to demonstrate any real urgency to conclude a deal end the current nucular crisis and achieve important sanctions lifting. fever since yet in the door, her talks that very serious and positive. as in the past, you'd be in touch with the eeoc coordinator for the next stage of the talks. our negotiating team is ready to engage constructively, again, to conclude. and each of the north korea has blame what its calling foreign objects

for causing its 1st cobit 19 outbreak. according to state media, an 18 year old soldier and a 5 year old touched unidentified materials near the border with south korea in early april and later showed symptoms and tested positive for the virus. state media says maybe 5000000 people become sick since the outbreak began out as a result, mcbride has more from the capital. so these are interesting claims and they would seem to fit the timeline of this outbreak. north korea, the 1st admitted to having the outbreak in mid may, it spread very quickly through the entire population at one point to recording hundreds and thousands of cases of fever every day. and so it would fit with that timeline. and it says that it can be traced back to an event that happened in early april when several people that came across what it called aliens, things on a hillside and can one province. this is a province over on north korea is east coast that borders with south korea along

the d. m. z. now, without specifying exactly what these alien things were, north korea is inferring that they were brought by balloon. now defect as groups here in south korea will regularly release balloons into north korea carrying propaganda messages. we know from various postings on social media that there has been some a balloon activity in the past few months. interestingly, some of these balloons actually carrying things like masks and medicines for north korea to tackle this outbreak. so it is a good fit for north korea to blame these defectors. it's thought in reality the most likely way in for the corona virus would have been across the border from china because at the beginning of this year, some of the restrictions on that border were lifted to allow much needed trade back and forth. not least 14 people have been killed in lance lives in the north indian state of money for more than 30 others are still missing. rescue workers are searching for people who been buried. one landslide had a camp for construction workers on

a railway project. disasters were triggered by 3 weeks of rain, which is one that made more to come with the ease i river has the best thing. it's been a ceremony. it has been held in democratic republic of congo in honor of the former prime minister and independence. here parties remember, the only part of him left a golden tooth was placed in a newly constructed mausoleum in the capital kinshasa. hundreds gathered to pay their respects. malcolm, with little, patrice limone, the 2 with all that remained off. the belgian mercenaries dissolved his body in a barrel of acid. he was assassinated with their involvement in 1962 months after congo had been granted independence from belgium. colonial rule. millions of people were killed and mutilated over the 80 years that belgium extracted, vast natural resources wealth. the mon, the campaign for independence. now his tooth has been laid to rest in a ceremony in democratic republic of congo as capital kinshasa general,

that that's what you died with your head held high, your faith unshakable, and your competence deep in the destiny of your country. more than 60 years later, i finally answer you to tell you that you have returned home. the owners you receive here are a page in the history that you continue to rise. the members remains have been interred on the his not check. their return is the latest in a series of gestures from belgium and its royal family expressing regret for its colonial past that followed the rise of the black lives matter movement. con, release president, felix, just to cathy as welcome did me on phone. we come get a chance can, together in the decisive state, i put even just and true and definitive reconciliation remember was and still is wildly popular. his remains have drawn crowns,

as they've been taken around the country over the last 9 days. some say it only songs to make up for the injustice of his past returning to loves yes, but those who are involved in this nation are still alive. there were a list of people. belgians were identified by the big vitamin as having taken part in these assassination to if those people are still alive. people celebrated when the moment to it was pulled out of his mouth by a belgian mercenary as a trophy. taken place where he was killed. nobody's been held to account for it. returning the members remains is a highly symbolic dress. but looting of congos, minerals conflict and poverty has persisted far beyond independence from colonial rule. for many members, vision of a free and prosperous people, still a long way off. malcolm.
