ah with a hole ah.

japan's former prime minister sins obey has been shot so that campaign events in the western city of nora. ah, hello, i'm down jordan, this is al jazeera alive from dough are also coming up in politics. no one is remotely indispensable. british by minister boris johnson amounts of his resignation, but will remain in power until his party alexei successor. at the g. 20 talks in indonesia, russia is foreign minister, comes face to face with western diplomats for the 1st time since the invasion of ukraine and anger on the streets of haiti, protest has dom on justice of president juvenile marise on the one year anniversary of his assassination. ah,

so we begin with breaking news out of japan, former prime minister shins al ave has been shot during a campaign event. he was early at the de hospital after the attack in the city of nara, that's near osaka. there are reports that a 42 year old man was arrested at the scene less cross live now to rob mcbride. he's at those g 20 talks in body. rob, a truly shocking development. what more details do we know about the shooting itself? i mean, we are getting more details as they come in. all of this has happened relatively recently just within the last couple of hours or so this was at a campaign event. we have upcoming elections in japan for it's a, it's up a house the shins or ave was attending that event in the city of nara. this is in the central parts of japan close to the much larger city of osaka. and he was attending that event and then i witness reports. talk about 2 shots being fired of one of those bullets hitting our bay. there may video coming from the scene has

shown paramedics surrounding an unconscious, ave, putting him in into an ambulance and getting him away from the scene. there are eye witness accounts, seeing a man approach him, apparently from the, from the rear firing 2 shots. and as we said, one of those bullets apparently hitting our bay through the back, a man has been seized at the scene or we don't know anything about the individual involved. the authorities are saying that since o r b has suffered, what they call col cardiopulmonary arrest effectively, that his heart has stopped working. we are waiting to see just any more developments on his condition. yeah. where, where we're waiting to speak to a japanese government official, which we're trying to get up. now obviously this is all breaking news, but some, i mean, as a correspondent, you've covered japan for many, many years. this will come as a shock to the japanese people. i mean,

violence against politicians is extremely rare. yeah, political violence is rare. and also it has to be say, it said that gun violence. any kind of violence involving weapons of any kind is where because the gun ownership is just so miniscule in japan. so it is extremely rare that we have an attack like there's an attack in vall being apparently a hand gun and also what is a particularly shocking as it should be. shins, o ave sions are arby, is about the best known face politically, both in domestically in japan, and also internationally. he is a, a giant, if you like, of japanese politics, the longest serving japanese, their prime minister. he was a, a prime minister until 2020. when he gave up the reins of power to his loyal left tenants, the chief cabinet secretary at the time yoshi, he de suger as often happens in japanese politics as soon as time and office was

very short. i think little more than a year, but then succeeded by food. ok, shoot the current prime minister of japan now cuz shita himself has been out campaigning a basically all the parties have been out campaigning because of these elections upcoming this weekend. we understand that because she has now cut short, his campaigning is returning ad to tokyo at what is a very grave time for japan, politically. it's important that he will be back in tokyo at this time, obviously. and we've had, have had a, a statement from the chief cabinet secretary in japan, or condemning this sir, this attack saying that any brutal acts will simply not be tolerated. all right at rob for now. just hang on there for a 2nd. we're going to now talk to a japanese government official and we'll come back to you for a bit more context about who sions obey the man really was. all right, let's bring in quite chiro matsumoto. he's the deputy cabinet. secretary for public affairs, for the prime minister's office in japan, he joined us live from tokyo or mr. matsumoto. thank you for your time. it does

seem extraordinary that a former japanese prime minister can be so vulnerable to get shot at close range. does this highlight a major security failure? well, what i can say is that what chief cabinet secretary much says in his press conference approximately an hour ago. he said former prime minister, she's a shot and the police arrested one person male who attacked the former prime minister and the condition that mister ob, it's not yet no. and we are still waiting for them to live. and as you've been a mystic issue, that has been notified at the instant and that he's counseling will be a campaign and he's coming back to tokyo as we speak. so what is, what is your official government line then about about our base condition? i mean, we're hearing, he went into cardiac failure, this cardiac pulmonary failure and he's unresponsive. what does this actually mean?

is he alive? the condition of mr. have is not yet known to us. we're still waiting for the information to arrive. and with regard to the guns control, yes, japan was known for the toughest and most strict the strictest down controls in the world. so that, that's where we are. and we're hearing that the prime minister to me because she has cooled off his campaign and return to tokyo. what does this mean men for the campaign season and the national elections? well, as you know, the japan is in the upper house alexi in season and all the cabinet ministers are currently scattered around the country to support their colleagues for their actions of well, what that means is that they're coming back to tokyo from the campaign. and this is a great, great thing to do with this. let me just get a final thought from you, mr. matsumoto. how much of

a shock than is this shooting going to be for japanese people? i mean, as you say, violence against politicians is extremely rare. exactly. this is an outrage attack, and that after such shall never be tolerated by under any circumstances and the chief cabinet secretary much more just said the government, strongly condense. it's most all right, her coach hero matrimony, the deputy cabinet. secretary for the japanese government. thank you very much indeed sir, for your time. let's return to rob mcbride in barney rob. we didn't quite get a straight answer from the government official about whether or not this was a major lapse insecurity, but let me just get to some context from you about shins, o, arby. i mean he, he was up is, was, is a tiring figure in japanese politics, especially with his, with his ambitious economic reform package after the 2011 earthquake and sen. army

yeah, absolutely. is actually from a one of japan's family political family dentist, easier if you like. and so are yes, he was probably the best known political, a face domestically and internationally. he was the leader of the conservative l. d . p. he 1st served as prime minister. he's one of the few in their japanese politics to have 2 terms of the prime minister. he 1st served from 2006 to 2007. when actually he gave up the reins of power. quoting an ill health at the time, but then actually came back into politics and then ended up serving from 2012 all the way through to 2020. so the 2 terms together makes him the longest serving postwar japanese at prime minister a. he is known for his conservatism, his air fis, fiscal policy. i've tried to revive the, the, the, the japanese economy, which has been notoriously sluggish, or it is been in need of reform. according to many fiscal conservatives, our bay included. and he tried to introduce what were called these 3 arrows of our

a, our, but nomics, basically a whole set of reforms that we're trying to rejuvenate the economy. it had some success, some limited success. but as you mentioned, a lot of this was aimed of trying to restore the economy after the damage of the great 2011 as soon army, which really did impact the country quite badly as part of that are being made it his mission as he get summer olympics to bring the olympics to japan, which he succeeded in doing. it was one of his landmark achievements while in office and he got the olympics. they were, of course, the ill fated 2020 summer olympics and they arrive there arrived the preparations for that were in full swing just as the whole world came down with kobe 19. and as we know, famously they had to be delayed by a year shinto abby was the denied the opportunity to sit there at the opening ceremony for what would have been his olympic games. he basically had to pass the

torch on if you like to his successor for games that were arguably somebody over damped squared. after all of the hopes that are, are bay and the japanese people had for this a great game. so his career and in pol in politics ended on something of a sour note. he didn't quite a bit have all the achievements that possibly he might have wanted to. but he does remain a very influential figure in a japanese politics because of the way that the politics works. here he is in charge of one of the larger factions within the ruling l d p party. so he may not be a, be there. he's effectively and retirement, but it's a very influential kind of retirement. he has been behind the scenes really pulling the strings of power being something if you, if you like somebody over king maker behind the scenes. and then occasionally, as we have seen on the campaign trail in the run up to these upper house elections, he has been using his stature to get out there on the stump to help various

candidates in this election. and so it, it's a really, is a hugely shocking episode for the whole of japan to see this, to having to see this former leader and see him a, in this air condition, waiting to know what his fate will be. waiting to know what his condition is. from the people at the hospital. all right, are robert right there, lie press there at that g. 20 meeting in bali. rob, thank you for that. let's move on to some other these now because boys johnson has resigned as lead of the u. k. is ruling conservative party setting the stage for a leadership race that could take weeks. you'll continue as caretaker, prime minister until party members elect his successor. but calls are growing for his immediate departure, where we challenge report from london, british politics that brilliant darwinian system as maurice johnson put it, punishes vulnerability. good afternoon everybody. and even the man once famously described as a greased piggly, it couldn't wriggle out of this one. i want you to know how sad i am to be giving

up the best job in the world. but then the brakes going, but not yet gone. forest, the prime minister is to become boris. the caretaker, prime minister. it is clearly not the will of the parliamentary, conservative party that should be a new leader of that party. and apple, a new prime minister. and i agree with the great brady, the chairman of our back bench, m p. 's. that the process of choosing that new data should begin now, and the time table will be an ard next week. and either today appointed a cabinet to serve as i will until the new data is in place. it was a speech show on contrition, and it gave the impression of johnson as the victim rather than the agent of his own demise. since tuesday, when key cabinet ministers, santi, job aid, and richie sue not quit, the pace at which johnson supportive operated was astonishing. the chris pincher

affair, and what johnson knew about previous sexual misconduct allegations against the m. p . was a scandal too far. by thursday morning, the number of resignations had passed 50 and counting. as an old westman, the saying that a week has a long time in politics, we're currently that unit of measurement seems quaintly inadequate. try an hour, maybe 5 minutes. and there are many conservatives for whom speed has become vitally important. they don't want boris johnson hanging around for months until a replacement is found. they want him gone. now. george freeman for example, who resigned his science minister? sadly, he carries with him a huge magnetic field force of instability. and it's disruptive and divisive. and it's been a strength, as a campaigner, it's been a huge weakness as a prime minister in the government as the last few weeks and months are shown. so

who will be the next prime minister, m p 's would like to feel reduced to to within a couple of weeks, some are already throwing their hats in the ring in every private soldier's backpack. there is a field marshal's battle. having seen the performance of all cabinets over the last 12 months, i think i would be encouraged to stand yes. this past leadership races have shown candidates are often successful because of who they arms rather than who they are. and if the conservative party have any sense, it will learn the lessons for us. johnson, this tumultuous time and power will reach helen's now to sarah london, before minneapolis police officer convicted last year for the murder of george floyd, has been sentenced to more than 20 years. in prison on separate federal charges, derek children was found guilty of violating floyd civil rights during his fatal arrest in may. 2027 was film kneeling on george lloyd's neck for more than 9 minutes. he's already serving 22 and a half years in minnesota prison. the murder from washington. d. c. how does your

caster explains how he now? so the 2 sentences concurrently. shelven was already sentenced about a year ago in that state murder case in which a jury found him guilty of 2nd and 3rd degree murderers in the killing of george floyd. so this federal sentence of just over 20 years is for the civil rights violations associated with that killing, which are, are federal crimes. and shelven actually pleaded guilty to the set of charges back in december, which was his 1st time publicly taking responsibility for the actions that led to george boyd's death. that pretty deal resulted in today's sentencing of just over 20 years and it avoided the potential for a 2nd trial and a possible maximum sentence of life in prison. shelven did not offer an apology, though he was given the opportunity to during today's sentencing, he did say that he wished george boyd's children well. but again,

this family is still left with that hearing question of why this happened. and george floyd's brother had asked the judge to a sentence shelven to the maximum sentence, saying that george floyd's family would be serving a life sentence of a lifetime without george floyd. and again, with a lifetime of asking that still hunting question of why did this have to happen more so to come here now does air including piecing together a prehistoric puzzle, scientists on one of the largest dinosaur fossils in argentina, marina ah, hello the weather, slightly dry across much of the middle east, no surprise is there, but we have got some surprisingly cloudy weather across southern parts of the arabian peninsula. even here in kata, we have seen

a fair amount of cloud around recently could catch a sponsor to of rain as we go through the next day or so. further south, that's where the where to weather will continue. eastern parts of yemen. good part of a man could see some live the showers, southern pass, a saudi arabia to him, or the chance of seeing some of that wet weather which will cause localized flooding. of course, those showers pushing in on that southwestern monsoon is a pakistan into the western gates of in the further north. it is generally dry. as i said, it strikes to across much of north africa, a lot of hot sunshine still in place here. eastern ways, pumping those showers out of ethiopia. so saddam pushing across central african republic. right. the way into the gulf of guinea said nigeria, seeing some heavy and foundry showers, southern parts of ghana. but in togo all the way into ivory coast. seeing some lively showers in the shower, pushing right up across a good part of cirillo into a guinea. we have got large, dry weather. meanwhile, across much of southern africa, a few showers east of the riff valley,

where to weather will steadily make his way towards the southern cape. ah, what is the ocean? this witness claim is witnessed different says witness, change. witness, happiness. witness? not witness. sunlight. witness de la. witness. last witness. charity witness. you witness. clarity. witness. family, witness. friends. witness the beginning. witness. the end. witness. life witness? an algae 0. lou . ah,

welcome back. okay, come on about top stories at this hour. the former japanese prime minister chalabi has been shot during that campaign event. he was early to the hospital after the attack in the city of nara, that's near osaka, reports a 42 year old man was arrested last john smith resigned as lead of the you case ruling conservative party triggering a leadership race that could take weeks. continuous can take a prime minister, but colds are growing within the party for his immediate departure. and the former minneapolis police officer convicted for the murder of george floyd, has been sentenced to more than 20 years in prison. on separate federal charges, chosen was found guilty of violating floyd's civil rights during his fatal arrest last year. or this get more now on our top story, the shooting of the former japanese by mr. shims, a la bay, ben while already shut. the ha is a in a junk professor of political science and international affairs at temple university, japan. he says the nation is in shock. this is certainly not something we are used

to seeing in tokyo. we never had this kind of gone violence, one of the lowest rates of homicide in the world. and also politicians usually politic. the political game in japan doesn't tend to be rife with any kind of violence. so this comes as a shock to everyone, especially considering the stature of the importance, the victim of operations, though one of the most important post war politicians for japan. so all these elements together and make this and all the more tragic and surprising events, the injuries seem to be extensive. apparently he was shot twice and is said to be under cardiopulmonary arrests, which is usually not a good sign for these kinds for these kinds of injuries. so obviously we're hoping for the best, i'm sure we're going to get some more information in the next few hours, but as of now and especially given how close range all of this happened,

things do not look particularly good, but it's too early to, to tell that the real consequences, one of the things that we talk about in japan, i talk about that with not only japanese people, but also foreigners living in japan. is this incredible sense of security of safety? this is something that we don't see in any other in developing country. it has, as i mentioned earlier, one of the lowest rates of homicide, but also one of the lowest rates of violence on people as a matter of fact. so these kinds of events, especially in a big c, like told joe, even though we have the metropolitan area, has 38000000 people, it is incredibly safe. so these kinds of events is simply does not register for people. it's not something that we expect that at any time, frankly. so yeah, truly shocking. de russia's foreign minister has come face to face with some of moscow as fierce as critics of the g 20 gathering in indonesia. it's the elaborate 1st personal encounter with foreign ministers from western countries. since russia invaded ukraine, lovegrove had planned to meet some of his counterparts on the sidelines of the

summit. but many of them have refused including your effective state anthony blinking. or jessica washington has more now from bali, whence okay, love rock arrived. that was when you could sort of sense the tension in the room. and a few journalists shouted out at him, when will russia and the war? and that really points through that. the fact that the war and the ukraine really is the most salient issue, while g 20 foreign ministers meet this week. these important to note, however, that while us the us at its western allies, have taken the approach of trying to isolate russia, trying not to engage with russia. some ministers already saying that they would not shake his hand. for example, during the course of the conference. others saying that they would not pursue any bilateral talk that russia does still have friends within the g 20, who have met with the minister for these bilateral sessions. some of those countries we understand that we'll be meeting with the minister over the course of his visit to bali include south africa, mexico. he will also meet with the indonesian foreign minister and of course,

yesterday afternoon, he met with the chinese foreign minister in a statement. the chinese foreign ministry said that china uphold its object objective and fair position and its focus on promoting peace efforts, peace and efforts conducive to a peaceful resolution. aging is among those that have not, yes, condemned the russian invasion of ukraine. and russia still has these ties within the g 20 countries countries which aren't necessarily looking to deposit lame at towards russia, but are looking for solutions to these global problems. and that is really the, the tricky situation that indonesia, as the host of d 20 this year, the hundreds of protest as opposed to this month's referendum on tennessee as constitution. i've been stalked from reaching the offices of the electoral commission. here there were 10 scenes as police force that demonstrators in the capital to this. the new constitutional proposed by president

ty side would limit the role of parliament and expand his executive power. with critic say it amounts to a power of opposition. supporters of rallied in albania as capital demanding. the government stepped down. they're angry about rising prices and corruption, albania has the highest energy prices in the western balkans. and thousands of health care workers that protested in peru demanding more funding and better work conditions. at least stop moved from attempting to enter the health ministry in the capital, lima doctors are threatening to go on strike. the most common protests in haiti on the 1st anniversary of the assassination of president job and maurice, the killing. and the resulting power vacuum triggered an increase in violence by criminal gangs, and a massive political crisis was some drum pitiable assembler ceremony for a country and as a re, a year after president's job in el marie was assassinated, haitian alternatives, and diplomats meant to mark the occasion the current acting president at lee says

he's committed to seek justice. i'm determined to encourage the continuation of the investigation until its conclusion. patient justice can count on the unconditional support government. despite its weaknesses, the justice system must continue to track down and sentiments the culprit so that our country will never have to go through such drama again. but despite dozens of a race, including a group of colombian mercenaries, haiti's investigation remained stalled and many accused itself of being involved after he fired his justice minister and a prosecutor. last year, when they called for him to be investigated in connection with the murder. he denies any involvement of thursday 100 stick to the streets of the capital, part of prince in protest, burning tires and calling for entry resignation. the,

the prime minister must go to jail because he was involved in killing of the prisoner. this is not normal between the central shock, but his legacy will not die. we will continue. some of the rest of the columbia and mercenaries has released a b o saying they have gone over 70 hours without food. they haven't been charged and haven't had access to a lawyer for a separate investigation in the u. s. has led to 3 arrests, including a former u. s. government criminal informant statement on thursday. you asked secretary of state antony blink and said the u. s. remains concerned about the limited progress of his investigation. since the killing, the already fragile economic and political situation in the country fell deeper into this function. as the gangs took over large parts of the capitol. thousands of people have been killed, tortured or forced to leave. what has happened,

the lady for the past years shows that shortcuts do not work, though he's a crazy, it's getting worse. so we need to tackle the issues. we need to make sure that we fight gang violence and have a political consensus in how free election. but when none of these options on the horizon, patients are left in a grim spiral of violence and impunity that sees an ever growing number of them ready to risk their life to leave the country. i listened to them, gayety al jazeera mexican, prosecutors are investigating former president and the recap pinion yet. however, suspicious money transfers, the head of the treasury ministries, financial crimes unit says the former leader had around $1300000.00 us dollars sent to him. in 20192021. the transactions were linked to a relative who was making large deposits. i withdraws for a bank account than in the eta has denied the allegations. deb, it's important the let's very important to act responsibly to a white ungrounded judgments. the and we can't publicly accused the former

president of money laundering lalellah. we have information on the operations. he carried out and that required investigating this money. so say, now scientists are calling it the largest commerce dinosaur that ever existed. now the remains of a giant new species have been unveiled in argentina, the prehistoric predator was discovered in norman patagonia 10 years ago. currently has a story. it round the earth a 100000000 years ago. now it's back from the depths it's remains revealed for the 1st time. paleontologists have called it in iraq, says giga, after a fictional dragon from the game of thrones television series. they say it's the biggest find of its kind yet med accessing port upon the morocco. this is important because it is the 1st time we have the very complete fossil of a cocker dawn to saw a special group of dinosaurs. it is so complete that we know everything from the

whole arm down to the smallest toes, the whole foot, and the length of the head. we have a lot of information and this has never happened before. the le carissa, though unrelated to the tarana source rex. it's similar in builds and features discovered in northern patagonia in 2012. it's taken a decade to excavate the find spreads light on how these huge predators evolved is from the thing of solar carriers mahard under cooksey theorem. they are the largest carnivorous dinosaurs that ever existed. but until now we didn't have a complete skull for example. so many measurements were given that in reality, we're not certain. and finally, we can establish the true size of the skull, come the arms, the legs, and this is fundamental to understand the evolution. obviously, the edge, the fossilized remains, are remarkably well preserved. providing more pieces to the prehistoric puzzle car, a leg out jazeera ah.
