legislation can idea through that's going to speak to a major need for mark. this bill identifies used violence as a public health epidemic. last year. we are to our, to work, to report a file when it comes to you, a stretch, as far as a protested than sri lanka, occupy the homes of the president and prime minister and say they're staying put until both leaders officially step down. ah, are there understands the attain? this is out there at life from door. ha. also coming up more than 20 people have been shot dead and 3 bars in south africa present to were i'm a person called the violence. unacceptable. and worrying japan's ruling coalition

claims a sweeping majority in the upper house of parliament. just days off the assassination of the prime minister. there are 5 fighters rushed to save one of the u. s. as the most iconic forest, as wildfire and california double in size. ah, well, we begin in sri lanka, where protested, occupying the residences of the president and prime minister, have vowed that they will not leave until both leaders are out of office. public fury over the countries economic crisis reached a breaking point on saturday. demonstrated stormed the homes of president godsa by a roger boxer and prime minister, running a bit from a finger. both men say they will resign and opposition parties have meant to agree on new government. when all fernandez reports now from the presidential residence in columba, a real carnival atmosphere here at the president's official residence,

the great facade you see behind me, you notice the architecture. it goes back many, many decades. and this was the sight of that massive sea of people who overran this property. seeing the exit of president gore toby, roger boxer on friday. now obviously he has to resign officially. but for the protest movement that called for him to step down. this has been a victory, and for more sher lumpkins that are here, they say they're not going to lose an opportunity to see how their leaders lived. this is our tax money. so i'm here because of the out. so what kind of things been done for our tax money? that's actually what i'm here is the maximum or just shoot, understand the part of people. and the sheer number of people trying to get in to see the president's house is posing a real problem. those who are part of the protest campaign who are still trying to control some of the crowds are urging people to be careful, very structural damage,

obviously a very all property and just cannot handle. the sheer numbers are climbing up the staircase that has been structurally shoes. so that's causing a very real problem and the danger and this obviously the swimming pool at the presidents house of the water looking very much. 2 worse for the ware, but those iconic pictures of people are diving into this right after the protest is essentially over at this residence. now president go tabio roger boxer is reported to have been evacuated to safety before the protest says actually got into the property. we still haven't seen any signs of him other than to hear the statement that he has indicated he is willing and able and willing on his resignation. on the 13th of july, on ish and denial is the executive director of verity research. i think tank that provides strategic analysis for asia. he explains what needs to happen in order to

ensure a smooth transition to a new government. both the president and the prime minister to have lost credibility and the president's party has lost credibility. and i think it is very similar to when days the election a dead defeats the incumbent president. that has happened several times in sri lanka, where the minority government with a new president is allowed to make decisions for the country. because it is clear that the popular mandate has changed, that happened in 2015 and it happened in 2019. so right now i think the opposition has to step up to the plate. ah, nominate someone to be president and prime minister. and parliament must agree to that in the interviewing. the constitution provides that the speaker will be in charge of acting president until a new president and prime minister appointed. i think the most important thing for sri lanka now is stability and credibility. the enormous lack of credibility of the

current government for its corruption, its brutality. it's bad policies reduce the popular approval rating of the government. 3 percent in polls that were done last month. that's no longer a democratic representation in the country. so really establishing a more credible and a stable government without obstruction from the president's party would really in their birth than negotiations on economic solutions to go forward more credibly and speedily. then they have good under the current circumstances. now south africa, the president has condemned to 3 separate shootings that killed at least $21.00 people. calling them unacceptable and worrying. the last incident was in a bar and sweater on the southern outskirts of johannesburg. for other people were also killed in a separate shooting. at a tavern in the town of peter harrisburg castillo. as her young has more,

the overwhelming pain, as families are called to identify their relatives. it was after midnight when police say more than a dozen people shot dead by gunman in the bar neutral hannah's burg. bodies piled near the entrance, our victims were tried to run out and escape what we know is that the assailants that just entered into that space. well, people who dreamed info from the shorter and normally to them, investigators have described the shooting as a massacre said. and as that is in you are now, was this is the gun was to try it the gun in our communities and wish to call upon communities to actually little indeed assist the police in, bring in to book air. those a petri does police say nothing was stolen from the business. now they're focused

turns on catching those responsible, finding out why the victims were targeted. cartier, lupus of a young, fell to 0 or gun ownership as a hugely divisive issue in south africa. one proposed law, the firearms control act would stop people from legally earning a gun for self defense support to say that fewer guns would lead to less crime. there are about 450000 licensed guns in south africa. critics argue that civilians need licensed weapons to defend themselves, especially with rise in crime and police overwhelmed more than $6000.00 people were killed and the fast 3 months of this year in south africa. please say these are the last recorded figures in the last 5 years. while he in cameron is the director of the advocacy group actions society in cape town. he thinks police are inadvertently contributing to the growing problem of gun violence in the last 12 years. this other rick of brady service has lost more than 26000 firewall state re just that

far. that means that in the last 12 years of african police services, most likely the biggest gun supplier to criminals in south africa, which is obviously very, very worried. and i think if we see it in that way, we need to understand the less than 10 percent conviction rates for violent crime, in general, in south africa, less than 5 percent conviction. right. it makes it incredibly difficult to combat crime efficiently in the country. i think this severe political interference in the south african are pretty service. we've seen that over the last 20 years, the majority of commissioners that were appointed were not korea police members. they were politically connected, ruling parties that were appointed. and we also saw them disband. most of our specialized units in the south africa, the service expectation was said that they would need to combat serious,

violent crime from ground level. and to give you an idea. yeah, for example of 2019 the south african re service lost more than 10000000 rounds of ammunition. so that means 10000000 rounds of ammunition was, is freely roaming on the streets of the country. and japan's ruling party and its coalition partners have won a 2 3rd super majority in the upper house of parliament after sunday's elections and paved the way for possible changes to the pacifist constitution, which would strengthen the country's military while on a global stage. and that was the goal of former prime minister, sions obeyed. he was shot dead at a campaign event on friday, translate reports. so japan as a nation in morning after the assassination of its former leader shouldn't obey on friday. but fritz, governing liberal democratic party, a glimmer of good names after sundays, upper house elections. the

o. d. p has been the dominant parties since the end of the 2nd world war and had a high approval rating. going into the vote. ave was a member of the lower house and still wielded considerable influence as head of the audi peas, largest faction. analysts say the results will help prime less taikisha consolidate power. you know, the biggest threat to his position has been sheen's obey. so the fact that obey was killed a couple of days ago actually, a is another thing that made stabilizers were human in a strange way. the strong election showing will give him a chance to increase in military spending, revising japan's pacifist constitution. one of our base unfulfilled ambitions is also likely to be on the cards. although analysts say amending the constitution will not be an easy process. and also when it auto thought of this and there it is still unclear how to amend the constitutional and which parts of it need to be

amended. even in monks, those in support of constitution amendment opinions very a lot of the can't be a quick change of the constitution. even any blocking 2 thirds of the seats can't do it. the japanese people will vote on it and it is hard to pass. vic, meanwhile, the suspect in our base assassination has been handed over to prosecutors inara, where he will likely be detained and questioned before being charged. police have acknowledged, there were security flaws in friday's attack, and have promised a thorough investigation. florence louis al jazeera went on a week's is a professor of political science and moose, as you know, university in tokyo. she says this election result will be a significant boost for the prime minister. it will give him confidence and give him a sense of a mandate that people thus far been satisfied with his prime minister shipment and the direction the government has been taking. having said this,

i mean some of the parties that had a strong nice campaign that is not changing the constitution also got up and got candidates reelected quite quickly as well. so i think domestically when the debate comes to it, it will still be quietly, highly contested debate result. so there was sort of results that if you want to take that view, that they did push the numbers up for the holding fee. you can say that on the other hand, the actual word of turn up was only around about 2 percent up on the last up a house selection. so you could say that it didn't really bring people out to vote in the way that i guess some of some people had anticipated. so i think the influence on the vote itself is somewhat neutral. i would suggest moving on and in less than an hour, residence of serious lost rebel held enclave will lose access to vital aid. after

the un security council fell to extend authorization for cross border deliveries. and you an assistance arrives through the bible. how about crossing on the theory and tackle border? but that will now stop as russia veto to resolution extending 8 shipments for another year. the u. n says more than 4600 trucks carrying mostly food have taken aid there this year. helping some 2400000 people. about 1700000 people are currently living in camps. more than half of them are children. since losing control of the enclave, the government has cut off basic services and attacked medical facilities and schools, but also a select no fee on the russia pushed us to tense to hunger 1st and heat. and now they want to deny us the food a basket that bailey sustained us for half of the month during these very difficult times. russia is fighting with us over it. we completely refuse this veto. i am a mother of orphans and i refuse rush of putting forward any plan to close. bob. oh,

in an area called mariposa grove. and that includes the famous grizzly giant that some of the oldest trees that there are. there's trees that are 2000 years old. they're massive giants when you stand next to them as fire fighters moved in some 1600 people at a nearby camp ground and community were told to lee. so far, the washburn fire has burned more than $280.00 hector's park. officials say they could close more of the national park if necessary. it looks pretty scary and i, we were going full force on our suppression tactics. for now, visitors are cautiously proceeding with their vacations. it's definitely eerie. i'm, but it doesn't make me want to turn around. and want to keep going. sequoias have evolved to withstand fire, but they don't always escape. while fires in the last 2 years have destroyed nearly

15000 sequoias, 20 percent of the 75000 estimated trees found in the american west. so far, park officials don't know when the washburn fire will be brought under control. rosalind jordan al jazeera. meanwhile, a fast moving while fi is also banning through thousands of heck t as in the us state of utah, firefighters have been battling that play is near the town of fillmore since friday, and by properties have been evacuated. and local media is a full people, have been arrested on suspicion of causing the fire. portugal government has declared a state of heightened there after wildfire swept through central and northern parts of the country. thousands of firefighters alter backing those blazes. dozens of people have been injured. portugal is experiencing an intense heat wave with temperatures reaching more than 40 degrees celsius.

the russian rockets have hit an apartment block in the east and ukrainian town of chassis of ya killing. at least 15 people rescue workers fear there are more people trapped in the rubble rushed and ground forces are pushing to take control of the entire dynette. sk region where chassis is located. alan fish reports now from well, we don't. sky lit up is russian rock. it's fallen chessy of yar. an apartment block, torn apart rescue workers knew the timing of the attack means most people would have been in bed. so they're moving debris by hand tunneling down, trying to find anyone still trapped in the building. so what have we done to them? what if our people done to hurt, then there was darkness, and then it all started. locals could only leucon helpless, as the sense continued for neighbors. friends, relatives were with that you knew what the law we ran to the basement. there were 3

. that would put russia in the same category as north korea. iran and syria and the vote could fall in coming days. olive fisher al jazeera heave. now the race to take over from doris johnson, as british prime minister, is shaping up to be a hard fort contest. so far, 11 candidates already launched leadership bids on more are expected to join before the selection process gets underway later this week. for brandon, looks at the issues that contenders will have to address. politics is a brutal business ribbon with rivalries and shifting loyalty and simmering ambitions. and when the top job is up for grabs, the heat really is on. it looks like a shaping up to be a very, very cut off the leadership campaign. if that does happen, of course, you have a window to be providing over very fractured policy at a point in which regards to what the lifetime cost of living crisis, the u. k is next, prime minister isn't chosen by the general public. instead, just

a conservative m p 's over the in parliament will with all the less down most likely to just to remain in candidates. and then the conservative party membership in the country around $100.00. $60000.00 of them will cast the postal balance. a 2019 analysis found that 70 percent of the members all male, 56 percent or older than 55. and a 3rd of them live in london in the southeast of england. expect policies which appeal explicitly or implicitly to that demographic. the conservative party models itself at the party for business. conservative voters generally don't support high taxes, they inhibit enterprise and growth. they believe. so it's no surprise that at this early stage of the contest, leadership rivals are falling over themselves. the promised tax cuts. look, i believe in a lower tax. lower regulation cut the red tape economy. i think no consensus should raise taxes either what you need

a small tax cost that will grow the economy. i've always been a low tech consultant on july to the other. the following. and whatever you decide on economic policy has risk, whichever way you go, but there, i think the much greater risk is not having the tax cut. but if you're cutting taxes, how would you fund public services? 96.5000000 patients are currently waiting for hospital treatments in england, such as near replacement. so i surgery on the next p. m needs to have a plan. low wage growth, big increases in energy bills and price inflation nudging into double figures of all created a cost of living crisis here in the u. k. something's a new prime minister is going to have to tackle dustin for both people suffering the most. his country, of course, of those who have honorable 2600000 kids getting hungry, you just said more cash to them directly. either side, you will see to have a series program for how we're gonna fix this country to fix our problem. remember, this is an election a which only conservatives can vote. the other 47000000 people are voting. age can
