ah ah safe going home and then international anti corruption excellence award vote now for your hero? ah,

this is al jazeera ah hello, i'm emily anglin. this is the new sal alive from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. former japanese prime minister sions, obey had died after being shot and an event in the city of morrow. please say they've arrested a 41 year old man who allegedly shot ave, with a hand made gun. ukraine's hospitals are filling up with war casualties. will visit a health center in keys that's been pushed to its limits. in politics, no one is remotely indispensable. and british prime minister barak johnson resigns, but once to remain in power until he is part helix. a successor and his full form of if a president set blotter and vice president michelle, latina have been cleared of corrupt and todd is the parent were acquitted to of

illegally arranging a $2000000.00 payment that back in 2011. ah, we begin with the news from japan. former prime minister sions. obey has died after he was shot during a campaign event in the city of nora. natasha g. a name reports on the assassination of japan's longest serving leader. ever a shot to the heart by a man with a home made gone a routine campaign speech ending in an unprecedented assassination. former japanese prime minister sions obeyed, died friday morning in the western city of nora. he was campaigning for upper house elections scheduled for sunday seconds after our bay collapsed officers tackled the suspect. police say 41 year old had to ya yamagata. he told them he was disgruntled

with abbe and aimed to kill him. it was a rare occurrence in a country with a low crime rate and some of the world's most restrictive gun laws, yuma, tim men not to q. so we cannot accept that this violent act took place during an election. the foundation of democracy in the strongest terms or i condemn this attack until the 67 year old was a dynamo of japanese politics and a 3rd generation politician. his grandfather was prime minister, his father, foreign minister abbey, distinguished himself as the longest serving prime minister with 2 terms in office . he brought stability to a political system that tended to kind of churn out. prime ministers are one after another. i'm not only dad, but he was also transformative and japanese politics. he made japan

a much more significant player in terms of regional and i would say, even global security. abbe promoted policies dubbed ib nomics, intended to boost the economy. he wanted to strengthen japan's geo political clout, by amending its post world war 2 pacifist constitution. it proved polarizing among the public and his efforts failed. during his last year in office, he was criticized for his handling of the coven 19 pandemic. his as i've worked hard every single day to revitalize the economy and conduct diplomacy that would protect the national interest during this time, i am proud to have taken on various challenges with the japanese people. okay. although he resigned in 2020, citing poor health the following year ave returned as leader of the liberal democratic party, a man who couldn't shed his political skin assassinated for it. natasha guinea,

elgin's era, and leading politicians have been reacting. titian's obeys death. the shock and sadness and the g 20 meeting in indonesia, the u. s. secretary of state said ave, was a great leader with a great vision and said it was only not only a loss for japan, but for the world. let's bring in and rub mcbride. now who's in barley covering that j. 20 gathering? rub, leading politicians around the world have paid tribute. what else have they sense? that's right. i mean as we realize the situation was grave. his condition was indeed grave life, life threatening. we started to get tribute messages from our world leaders. and then of course, when it was confirmed that he had died and bore tribute, had been pouring in with heard from a south korean lead a units of y'all that this a passing on his condolences to the people of japan from you, kays, boris johnson, for example, sanders saying that the, the people of britain stand with you,

the japanese people at this dark time. emanuel mac, ron of france, also saying that japan has lost a great prime minister, dedicate, who had dedicated his life to his country. here at this g 20 foreign ministers session which has been wrapping up the producer, been led by u. s. secretary of state and to be blanket saying that it was profoundly disturbing this sir. murder, assassination, saying it's a personal loss for so many. he was an extraordinary partner to the usa. so i think the, the scale of the tribute that have come in from people across the world really give you a sense of just how big a world figure as sions are, are they was and well, we heard from japan's current prime minister a couple of hours ago now, and he was to find about continuing their campaign ahead of sundays elections. that's right to me. ok. she that really finds himself an extraordinary situation. finding himself confronted, i think by

a nationwide grief trauma shock and offering off, i think a mix of salt lake comfort, but also with a sense of defiance. when he 1st arrived back in tokyo, as soon as he realized how grave the situation was, he returned to tokyo. he like others, had been campaigning for these up house elections. when he 1st spoke to reporters, he appeared visibly shop tearful at describing. this is a bob barry kind of malicious act. later on when it was confirmed that she had indeed died, he offered a more defiant tone, saying that these elections must go ahead, must be seen to go ahead. the campaigning will resume tomorrow's saturday and japanese people will go to the polls on sunday saying that, you know, you cannot give way to what he calls political violence. that the election process the campaigning has to continue and paying tribute to sions. a personally as a statesman, as a political leader, as a friend to him personally,

but also as a mentor, he was the longest serving prime minister, probably the best known figure in politics, both domestically in japan and also worldwide. and the figure who now is no longer with us. all right, thank you very much for that update world. mcbride live for us in bali, indonesia for further analysis is bringing robert kelly, who's a professor of political science and diplomacy it through some national university . he joins us from tucson, south korea. robert, thanks so much for being on this news. our. the us ambassador to japan said mr. bay had been an outstanding leader of japan and an unwavering ally of the us. took us through the relationship between america and japan as a result of leadership. right. so the americans really liked. we really liked him a lot actually because emphasized a lot of the beans that the americans have been turning towards any stage for the

last decade or so. particularly regarding china, right? as your correspondent mention before a japan and had some kind of like a carnival or sort of merry go round prime ministers and stay for a year or 2 and go. and there was kind of a lot of instability up the top in japan and the americans weren't really quite sure the japanese were going to get on board force against china. and i'll be really swung behind that. you know, the americans really showered on china. the china rise, right? there's a reception. the american chinese are sliding some kind of cold war something and i'll be really supportive that i'll be really reached out. other countries around asia. we're also concerned about china like philippines, vietnam, india. and this is something that the americans really supported. we also talked about army japan better in order to actually get to really contest china roll basically it's naval power station. this is also bumping americans, one for a long time because the japanese military is actually quite small. so the americans and we really liked a lot actually. and when you mentioned china, there, the relationship between japan and china as well as japan and south korea has been

fraught how was that they viewed by beijing and sole. right. so i think, i think in either capital, are you going to be shocking right at this man some personal death and the personal pain that's brought, i mean, diving, reinstatement for example is very responsible. but i mean, there's certainly no love lost, right? i mean, ave, was not the popular character in, in china, obviously because of the things we just talked about is willingness to open the say the chinese china was a competitor for the vantage plan was balance against that. it was much more worth right about that than its predecessors. and in south korea is pretty people all i can terribly much because you cannot really because of your political issues by really because of storage issues. we're just to say that japan was the colonizer here in the 1st half of the 20th century and took a really tough line on the historical issues regarding a man's behavior here. and he was sort of very on loves. and so i think that would be a lot of debate and south korean media in the next couple days about how you remember

here. again, you know, it's sort of data sort of personally tragic. but what politically ave was, was you really not like here that controversy is side robot. it's what was the likely motivation for this shooting then was likely to be political. why would anyone want to hurt him? right so, so that's, that's actually, i mean, i know, you know, right, and i seems like, it seems like from what the japanese importing is that this is actually been religiously motivated in that case. i mean, i hate to say, but that's actually sort of the best possible case, i guess in the sense that it's not a political fascination. i mean, we got that sort of like major political ramifications from it. you know, if it had been, you know, some like one of abe's opponents or something like that that might really turn japanese politics upside down. have been a foreign or someone like that only guy. and in this case, i think we're sort of, i don't want to say lucky, but we kind of like missed on big problem here and that this man looks like he was genuinely mentally disturbed. and in that case, and quite honestly, if you'll kind of random feel like, you know, all the past, maybe kennedy,

you kind of random thing with big effects but basically alone, strange character and that, you know, pretty terrible. yeah. no, i know what you're saying. rub it, looking more broadly. now, what do you think of a legacy will be primarily i think will be the competition with china. i think i'll be really surprised japan towards a recognition which share by the american that, that china and japan are old when a collision course over the course, over the structure of the station politics and the next several decades. right. that doesn't mean we're in a war or anything tomorrow, but it does mean that japan and china are now more or less than a competition. they are balancing against one another. and this is something that i'll be pushed, the japanese publicly hard. do you to sign up or do you agree with me? traditionally, in japan, japanese foreign policy has been kind of restrained sophistic. the idea was what the american can a lot of these kinds of things and the american saying to japanese since 994. and i kind of do this for you, you guys gotta get on this and i'll pick that up and went with it. and i think that

is probably going to be his biggest legacy is that your political turn is other stuff like the comics nomics and didn't really work out well. so my sense is that foreign policy will be the thing that he's remember for most. well, we really appreciate your analysis as always, robert kelly, a professor of political science and diplomacy at present national university. thank you. thank you for having returning to indonesia now, a mad g 20 meeting which has been overshadowed by tensions around russia's invasion of your crime. most cars, a topic diplomat said a lab rog skipped a number of sessions on friday afternoon, as well as the official demand. jessica washington reports from bali when russian circ a lump rover, arrived at the t 20 foreign ministers meeting his host. indonesia is read no more sooty, greeted him warmly. members of the media would not is welcoming this gathering marks the 1st time g 20 foreign ministers have met since russia invaded

how i fell down. i couldn't feel my legs and i saw a lot of blood. this hospital unit in keith used to treat stroke victims, its purpose expanded. when war broke out, this unit normally has 30 beds, but because of the war, the fight to increase it to 50. and although it's 5042 are occupied by people who are in the military and have been injured in the fighting. the tele philipo has been here for 2 months. he volunteered for the army when war broke out, his unit was shelled, shrapnel ripped through him, causing internal and spinal damage. he couldn't walk when he arrived, but there are signs of hope you had to live for your holiday. i will be able to walk again. the doctors are very good here. i can feel in move my likes or maybe in 2 weeks i will try to walk by myself most here and making progress the daily sessions and the gym help, but it's slow. it's painful and not just physically let his love shit. nick stood

to greet me, a huge achievement hit by shrapnel. he thought the damage was permanent. there was no her name, but i said to my comrade, i've lost my legs. he looked at me and said, no, you still have leg singer. it was a huge relief. caterpillar campbell, that ceiling. he knows that when he's released from hospital, the real challenge begins. parish chaslek in a perfectly habilitation will last long after i leave hospital. but i hope in the future i will feel the same and i can walk and run like before, egless, polio. eager. brockovich is the head of department. he's been a doctor for 22 years. all his experience and training his not prepared him for the injuries he had to deal with over the last 5 months. the wash wash group because it was hard in the beginning. we were working 24 hours a day and we learned by doing now it's easier. we have enough knowledge for the treatment and rehabilitation of both of these young men will be the scots of their

injuries long after the war is over. a shadow across an entire generation. alan fisher, i'll just keep plenty more head on this news now, including taps, running dry in lebanon, bay room water supply is on the brink of collapse. the angle on the streets of haiti protest is demand justice, president job in elm, always on the one year anniversary of his fascination and informed ref i on the job has been forced to pull out of his room in the semi final will tell you why a little later with santa info. ah, britton's government has said it will continue to deliver pre grade policies despite the resignation of boris johnson as conservative party leda johnson says

he'll stay on his prime minister in a k take capacity until the party elect his successor. the stage is now set for a leadership race that could take weeks for more on this. let's bring in pull brennan, who's lived for us in london. hello there. pole. far. as johnson wants to stay on a kid taking capacity. will that actually happen? it certainly will at the moment because there is no mechanism for his party, the conservative party to actually force him to leave downing street and he's not going to leave voluntarily. that's become abundantly obvious. i think also the conservative party is coming to the conclusion that it's not willing to fight him. there isn't really a point, it would be probably more damaging. and so i've compared to the kind of kubler ross stages of bereavement and loss that deny all the anger, the negotiation. and finally, the acceptance and stuff. me the quotes that we've been hearing from members of the conservative party this morning show that they really are willing to fight it. i

mean, the treasure of the 922 committee back bench committee saying in an ideal, well dominic rob, the deputy prime minister would have stepped up, but that ship has sailed. and the question mark is though, as is exactly what bar is, johnson is going to do with this limbo period that he has. now there are some controversial legislation that's still going through parliament such as the northern and protocol bill, which is a piece of legislation which will give the british government the unilateral right to rip up parts of the bricks. it deal the better trading arrangements with northern ireland and the european union. now, i've spoken with the institute of government and eminent, think tank about procedural things. and what they're saying to me is that because of the length of time it would take for that legislation to go through is actually not a big deal breaker. if forest johnson continues to shepherd it through parliament, because when it actually it won't become law until long after a new leader is elected for the conservative party. and on that basis the new lead . if they want to pull the bill, they could. so it's not, it's not necessarily

a problem for such controversial legislation to be continuing through parliament despite the fact that there are lots of misgivings on the other side of the house on the opposition benches. and poll, what are those scenarios going for it? i mean, what we need to have is a new prime minister that's the bottom line and it's not the country that elected it's the conservative party. so 1st of all, we have, i mentioned the 1922 committee, that's this committee of back bench m p 's. and it's that committee which organizes the new leadership campaign. some senior cabinet members, i've already indicated that they might be willing to put their names forward. we've had 2 names who have put their name forward from the employee ranks of the employees. how long that process will take is down to the $22.00 committee, and they will meet on monday to start the ball rolling on that. it could be that that goes all the way through the summer because it's most likely that the conservative party membership that in excess of

a $100000.00 paid up party members will get to give their vote by postal ballot. and that's gonna take a least a couple of weeks to get the results from that. so we're not looking at boris johnston leaving down the street any time soon. although there is pressure to try and do it as quickly as possible. we appreciate you breaking down trash. thank you very much, proven and live in london. there had been protesting hifi on the 1st anniversary of the assassination of president jovan elma weighs the killing, and resulting power vacuum triggered an increase in violence by criminal gangs and a massive political crisis. alexander ram p. s. he reports a somber ceremony for a country and as a re, a year after president's juvenile marie was assassinated, haitian alternatives, and diplomats met to mark the occasion current to acting. president lee says he's committed to seek justice. i'm determined to encourage the continuation of the

investigation until its conclusion, haitian justice can count on the unconditional support of the government. despite its weaknesses, the justice system must continue to track down and since the culprit and so that our country will never have to go through such drama again. but despite dozens of the rest, including a group of colombian mercenaries, he's investigation remains stalled. and many accusing himself 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. the prince in protest, burning tires and calling for the 3 of the nation. the prime minister must go to jail because he was involved in killing the prisoner. this is not normally the 21st century shock, but his legacy will not died. we will continue. some of the rest of the columbia

a political consensus and have free election. but when none of these options on the horizon, patients are less than a grim tyrell of violence and impunity. that sees an ever growing number of them ready to risk your life to leave the country. i listened on the edge of lebanon is in the midst of a water crisis. people living in the capital havent had waters awakes with the supply network. on the brink of collapse, santa hud reports from bay ros. this is the main water pipe to the lebanese capital . it's damaged and taps have run dry. in hundreds of thousands of households for nearly a month, up position member of parliament abraham him namely, is at the site to find out why the repairs are taking so long. an economic crisis has led to the near collapse of state institutions, but many accuse successive governments of mismanagement. what we tried to do it

the state for the electricity that operates the pump. money is needed to purchase fuel to compensate for lack of electricity, fuel to these and generators. also money is needed to stock up the stores for it would spare parts to address anybody. dan's the 3rd is to pay for salaries for the workers that come to work every day. what are authorities acknowledge that merely repairing the pipeline won't solve the problem. the state is nearly bankrupt and the government is failing to implement the reforms necessary to qualify for international financial 8 big problem. the big problem is when we don't have electricity and no money to buy diesel, that means we can import a few expect water services to improve anytime soon in a country where the main pipeline to the capital was last service half a century ago. seneca there, osha zita, beirut,

left 9 people dead, and hundreds injured when security forces use tear gas and live ammunition to disperse demonstrations, protested hearsay. the armies talk of withdrawal fields to meet their demands. lost on the heck moleskin, a demon, hello alpha. we want to end the military rule because a lot of people are suffering since they took charged 3 years ago. nothing has changed. and even with the army saying it's withdrawing from talks, there's been no justice yet for the protest is killed. so we're not going anywhere with my dad. the talks were being facilitated by the un, along with the african union and the regional body. i got following the armies withdrawal. the tripartite mechanism announced it was counseling negotiations and will consult political parties and stakeholders on a new format to answer dance political crisis. there have been varied reactions from political parties, while some have announced they are ready to sit down and find ways to form a transitional government. others have denounced the armies withdrawal rejected the

possibility of further talks and called for more protests. as the tripartite mechanism tries to bring the parties together, resistance, pommy thief, they will work to ensure any deal rece is accepted by protesters lujan and walmart . here using resistance committees or monitoring bodies before being executive bodies. we will support political parties to make sure they appoint the government of technocrats. now that can work for the people are not affiliated to any political party. our demands are very clear. we want to government was competent people that can deliver. yeah, i mean, but it's not clear when or if that government will be farmed, so dancer owed to political stability, still appears a long one. he but morgan, alta 0 houghton. returning to our top story now and the assassination of foreman, japanese prime minister, sions, obey us president joe biden has expressed outrage and sadness over the killing and st. condolences in a statement he described the light later as his friend. he said,

abe's death was a tragedy for japan and for all who knew him by and described the light later as the champion of the alliance between the u. s. and japan saying abbeys, vision of a free and open into a pacific willing to a he condemned the attack and to the us would stand with japan in a moment of grief. let's get some more analysis now from said jerry tucker, she tight who is a professor of information at the university. if she isn't, she zuka. he joins us from then. now, said jerry, 1st i want to get your thoughts and sions obeys legacy in a moment. but firstly, gun violence is such a rarity in japan. how could something like this happen and how the japanese reacting well, we're all got smart because as you just pointed out, we don't have any gun crimes last year. i think be a total death by gun violence was only one and i think was for the year before that . so we hardly have any done violence. and that's part of the reason why this assassinate, or had to make, you know,

his own gun in order to conduct his barberie side. and even we obviously do have literally ology differences, etc, etc. and we have no arguments, etc, etc. but we don't go into stage of those sitting on arms or killing people, that's a totally different dimension. and that's not the how the democrat forces in this country goes. so it really is, is, you know, taken people very much by surprise and were basically all very much guardsman said, say the least, she gera, what would be the political fallout from this? well, i think thanks to sheen's obey, he has clearly and created a path which basically will not be altered that easily. so i think, you know, there won't be any big changes that will be seen on, you know, his, one of his very positive in a legacy is that he regained the strength of

a political part away from the japanese bureaucrats law. partly due to the fact that he had been in the office for more than 2800 days, which is the longest, you know, on urena as a prime minister. so, you know, i don't think there will be that much of a big transitional change that will be taking place, but obviously we've lost a very, very big and important person ah, who had been the pillar all over the rejuvenation process. japan saw in the past decade decay. yet despite being the former prime minister, abbeys influence didn't ever seem to whine, did it now. in fact, not, no, definitely not. um, in addition to, you know, his, his internal politics. he was very eloquent in our foreign policy as well. and he, he managed to bridge friendship with president trump, which must have been very,

very difficult. and i he in or continued to and has transferred partnership for friendship with india. on the other hand, he was very strong and you know, made a very stark point about, you know, being strong as you know, chinese aggression. so, you know, the mean political point of view, he has also made a very, very strong and clear stass of where japan should be spanning, obviously his biggest feet being the, you know, i've been all mix, you know, he basically created a plot toe to basically walk away from this strong in depression that we were all facing. so in on although, you know, people criticize it, it's only one of his 3 arrows that succeeded. well, he succeeded on one and that was very good. and we have yet see whether the other 2 arrows who succeed so i think he has really left a very, very good positive legacy. or else you in them been the longest, you know, serving, you know, prime minister in japan, said then why would anyone want to her him,

what's the likely motivation for the shooting? keeping in mind that these are all allegations just a distinct well, at this point, we don't know that's a big mystery because if the person was assassinated doesn't out. he doesn't have any particular in a political motive. or at least he just simply says that he disliked you know, obvious on so much. so we're all basically puzzled as to you know, his motives and why you had to do this because whether you're pro or anti ave, one must basically, you know, admire his performance and you know, d's that he had done throughout the years for japan. hey jerry, just quickly, before we let you guy, you've got the elections coming up this sunday. what impact will the shooting have on that and the voter turnout and headlight is will out. um, i would like to think that this would increase the voter turnout because you know,

the only way and the best way to fight off these kind of sad issues where people try to threaten our bases or foundation to rossi is to go out and vote and in a my opinion, i think you know l d p will get a lot of what we go to condolences vote and rightfully so ah, which would be very much against what this a fan of the senator was trying to do. so you know, i do think that, you know, and i do hope that this would be a jamming arm because you know, the voting turnout in japan have been very, very low over recent years. and we have to persist, participate, and we have to join by the coalition of fight against, you know, these kind of unnecessary and barbaric in our aggression against democracy. while we appreciate your thoughts on this, thank you very much. j. a tech a. she had a professor of information at the university of she's you ok and for your time you

nicaraguans government has expelled a group of catholic nuns in what critic say is part of a crackdown on any one suspected of opposing the president. the nuns are accused of breaching new funding laws in their work with children and abused women. latin america editor, lucille newman, explains these buses, a scene taking 18 nuns from the order founded by mother teresa of calcutta to nicaragua, southern border to be expelled. the nuns had been working with the poor and with children with learning disabilities until the legislature controlled by president daniel ortega sandinista party, stripped them of their legal status. last week. there, the latest casualty of ortega's unrelenting offensive against hundreds of n g o's. and the catholic church, whom he calls qu mongers and devils in robes. the stun nuns were received in neighbouring costa rica, where

and ships for quote purposes of training and law enforcement. ortega is a staunch ally of letting me of putin, which in the current global context, her raises red flags in the region, is her outlet that went out. i think while she's young, the agreement puts ports, airports, and military installations at the disposal of the russians. it's not the $180.00 or so soldiers that matter. it's the 1572 you russian tanks bought in 2016 which breaks the reasonable balance of power in central america is one way. nicaragua is also reportedly planning to replace its cold war era to sugar rocket launchers and fighter planes with new russian models. russian state media comment that it was time that russian weapons got closer to american cities. with the nuns, it's unlikely that their prayers to return to nicaragua will be answered soon. the sea and human al jazeera scientists calling it the largest can never
