home policy amongst 27 years since the several meet said genocide in which nearly 8000 muslim men and boys were killed and india said to surpass china as the most populous country by next year. but the total number of boats around the world is declining. ah! we're going to start a northern syria where millions of people in the last rebel held enclave have lost access to vital cross border aid. the deadline has now passed to extend un assistance through the baba ha while crossing on the syrian turkish border. on friday, russia veto, the security council resolution to prolong age shipments for another year. the u. n says more than 4600 trucks carrying mostly food have brought in aid this year. helping some 2400000 people. about $1700000.00

a living in camps and more than half of them are children. since losing control of the enclave. the syrian government has cut off basic services and is attacked medical facilities and schools, or let's go live to sim costello who's at the border crossing in hattie in turkey and sent him tell us what's been happening with all of this while rob, this is a very quiet day in july because of border crossing normally is there are hundreds of trucks passing through the skate behind me. every week i bringing a humanitarian aids to the syrians and northwestern, syria. of course, everybody's in panic inside syria, along with the angio representatives who are saying that the system established by the un is not replaceable by anything else. so i be, we are hearing that some other alternatives are being discussed in case the 8 cory door is shut down by d and security council decision. because despite the cancellation of you and

a convoys entry, turkish and jewels are able to enter from this a crossing behind me and it bring all those minutes are unique to the syrian people . so we are hearing, they're discussing that the oldest, oldest lot should it can be transferred to the turkish and jews, but many say that it is difficult for them to handle distribution inside northwest and syria just behind us. there. is it just be a just by the border? they were it, there is a huge camp idp can wear a more than 1000000 syrians or residing and just the population inside it live is a 4100000. so this is a very difficult task, despite the alternatives, are being discussed. but, and joe's are saying that the, the, you and options is irreplaceable. i own the other hand, of course, there are, there are reasons why the situation is very though, i mean side, syria, it is not only the, on the, the war that has been ongoing for 10 years,

but also the war in ukraine is the, the global a foot prices which are very high recently everywhere, and a possibility of a turkish military operation against the kurdish fighter. the air group y p g is also a concern inside because they say that if i o peroration is conducted, then they will be some displacement. and many fears that meal is behind the border behind us and may flock to the gates, and there might be a new migration way. and of course the house for the civilians inside of these places are very, very critical. now everybody's eyeing for the un security council resolution center concealed live for us in the hot say, thank you very much indeed. or hussein or she is the vice president, the i h h humanitarian relief foundation. he says it's a critical time for those who are being displaced in science, syria, from the beginning of the work,

2011. we are very active on the region and we are operating in refugee camps in the villages, in pounds. and every part of the rebel controlled area of the syrian turkish control area of syria. and we know the conditions of the people's united nation is on the white part of the humidity of relief on the regions. 2014 united nation took the dish and cross border vision from 11 to 142011 to 2014 on the angel was very active on the ground and the peoples was suffering too much. and the need of the pupils cannot be so right. they are lives improperly. now we are turning to the beginning of the world. it will affect very badly the life quote, the sions of the people. it's more than 4000000 people are living here. and almost

the $15000.00 trucks have been cross last year. the border to, sir, right, the people, but unfortunately half of the relief from the united nation and related organizations . now the hope of that will leave the cuts because of the vision because of the veto, the syria and the pupils going to suffer on the food security medical education in all fee of gold for life. and it could be very, very difficult for the theory and pupils in syria in northern syria negotiations and under way in so lanka to form a new unity government on saturday, protestors stormed the residences of the president and the prime minister and colombo, demanding that both leaders resign president gotta buy a raj. a pack sam and prime minister vanilla would come singer have been blamed for the nation's worst economic crisis in 7 decades. the government's been unable to pay for the essential imports of food, fertilizer medicines,

and fuel. michelle fernandez has more from columbus. so as you can see, the sort of party atmosphere just behind me, there still is a system, a mechanism put to, to put into place where a new government, either a national unity, categor government is sworn in until such time that elections can be held. this all, once we have the president and the prime minister resigning they've said they'll be doing that, but we've got to see that being formalized. i mean, around me, if you can just take a look. this is the presidential secretariat building. and as you can see, another property that has literally been overrun, you can see people are hundreds, almost thousands of people are flocking to visit here. most of them with the phones in their hands, clicking self, he's taking groups shot. and if you just look, it's very much to find the chance an opportunity to make the best to come and see what this is. i mean, just see if i can just point it to this flag post. i mean,

this generally bears the president's flag. obviously, on the other side we have the national de shall lanchen flag. but again, ah, the protesters have taken care of that. there's a black flag flying. and as i said, there's a cross section of people. there's buddhist priest, there's the clergy, there are people that have come from far and wide of shanker, of to have a look. and if i can just show you a, just in terms of certain sections of the secretariat i like just under here, there are certain sections that are still being 45, the military holding on holding sway, making sure that there are certain areas that are cordoned off that the public can't over and obviously you can imagine the president's office there must be a lot of are sort of important documentation ah, and things like that to a certain era still nor go with the military. formerly keeping people out the body of former japanese prime minister since arby has arrived at a tokyo temple is waykell took place at the zaki temple on monday evening with

a funeral for family and close friends on tuesday. abbey was assassinated while campaigning for local elections on friday, but his have acknowledged security lapses, prime minister for me. okay. she, that has promised to continue the work options will abby's campaign promises? she'd have made a speech shaft to japan's governing party. won a sweeping majority in sundays, parliamentary elections. albin, little saudi, no more. you inheriting abbeys, legacy. especially the constitution amendment, which he put so much of his evidence to. i will work on cylinders that are by could not solve on his own. that on that he thought he mule smith. i'll continue working and bring a bright future to our beloved comfortable hand, which are bay loveday too. we need to pass this legacy to the next generation. you know, where the governing part is. victory paves the way for possible changes to the pacifist constitution, which would strengthen the military's role on the global stage. prime on the so for

me, ok, sugar has said hasn't said how much this increase will cost. but at the moment, japan spends one percent of g d, p on defense, but a financial roadmap passed by parliament last month, hinted. it could double this amount. because she, the promise is to provide at least $2000000000.00 and maritime equipment to indo pacific countries. finally, constitution was drafted after the 2nd world war and it does not allow its defense forces to deploy abroad. but legislation passed in 2015 allows his forces to support allies in foreign conflicts. frank lawson is deputy director of the center for rule making strategies at tama university in tokyo. he says japan is looking to raise his defense profile on the international stage. there's been a shift in japan over the last few years to sort of to up it's engagement on defense and security matters. this reflects a broad based agenda by the conservative government as well by a sent it to be their partner and a better supporter of

a rules based order that japan has to do more. and so you've had long talk about reaching that 2 percent threshold. the united states has pressed its allies, particularly in europe. japan is recognized at one percent limit that it's adopted as always been policy not right. not, not necessarily a lot of that started. so the japanese in an attempt to think to be, to do more in the world in the region and to demonstrate to other countries that they should be concerned. japan's well is now thinking about upping that to a super center doubling. but that'll be over a significant period of time, perhaps up to 10 years. and it will include spending that we may not perhaps consider strictly related to defense. the election results of created a 2 3rd super majority in the parliament. it is prepared to discuss and consider amendment, but what specific amendments are still all lot left to be done? still had an al jazeera argentina's, former president's backing court and corruption charges. we look at how it could damage her chances in next year's presidential election. and would explain why it's

a bittersweet eat for many in afghanistan. ah, i would focus more flash flooding around the china and, and the northern philippines. that's the line of significant rain at the moment and for the next few days is a bit of a gap through borneo. we still got this area from sil away the east was to west part of your where sharon seemed quite big to have to say there's also a gap just the north south china sea. and all sudden china is relatively dry at the moment. but the seasonal rain has let dos and it's now tis the wet is time the year i have to say for places like sol and sham. so it's not a big surprise. see this rain that but it got there early and it's quite intense, i think will be so flooding in north and south korea as a result of that. well,

it dries off to the west and ahead of it in japan though humid and hot. it's not a record for either, and it's not particularly wet either. now, the monsoon trevino's break norway across pakistan now. so the question now is, where's the rain going to concentrate that a warnings from the west coast from good to route cross by harassed down toward algebra dash. so that area will be particularly wet is some right? the soft tick the on the western gats and the sum up in the northern plain. some relief for the humid weather in new delhi. but the chance of flashlights or even more significant floods are still likely. ah, talk to al jazeera, we ask you be more specific, how many pills are you asking for? and what kind of military equipment we listen as the people of cuba industry. if there is a difference between donald trump engine light for them, it's the same. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that

matter on al jazeera. what we do at al serra is try to balance this story and leave the people who alone was into their lives, dignity, and humanity. lou ah, he wants to go to 0 reminder of our top stories this our un security council mandate for life saving a deliverance between turkey and northwest syria has expired. putting millions of lives at risk last week. russia, vito, a resolution to extend ship maintenance for another year. negotiations are happening in sher lanka to form a new unity government. it comes after protest was occupied, the residence of the president, and the prime minister,

and refused to leave. in japan's primers are fully okay, she has promised to continue the legacy of former leadership to abi, it was assassinated on friday. it comes off to his party and its coalition partner one, a 2 thirds majority and sundays parliamentary elections. while the rest to replace boris johnson, this british prime minister is shipping up to be a tough contest. so far, 11 candidates have launched leadership bids including former chancellor. lucy soon act for my health. secretary says eugene is also in the race. more contenders are expected to join? what could be a 2 stage election process? well, paul brennan is in london with more. i. let's talk about that process. what's expected today? what will we have is the committee of the conservative party, a committee called the 1922 committee which meets in just a couple of hours now to set out the time table in the process for the way that

that election will be conducted. what we're expecting is that there will be the 1st 2 rounds of ballots on wednesday and thursday of this week. and then to final rounds of balance if necessary, on tuesday and wednesday of next week. the reason why it's going to be a truncated process is because parliament rises for the summer holiday next thursday, the 21st of july. and of course, for us, johnson is still sitting in number 10, downing straits unwilling to leave until his success. it is name, so what you, what you're seeing is the conservative party trying to accelerate boris johnston's departure and get the new person in. you mentioned a crowd of field of candidates. the certainly is. but what we're going to see is those candidates whittle down by festival, a rising of the ball at which should to qualify to enter the race. previously, 8 nominations would be enough to get a candidate on to the 1st round of the balance. it looks like it's now going to be 20, are necessary for any candidates or actually enter the race. and then to progress

to the 2nd stage. 36 will be needed. now the big names are richard soon. act. who is the chancellor? it was the chancellor of the exchequer. liz trusts is the foreign secretary, and she is another major candidate. one of the lesson own candidates is raymond christie, who is a more further foreign office minister. we spoke to him a little earlier and he explained why he's decided to throw his hat into the ring. oh this rick. let's talk about that growing list of candidates for because i'd at the moment we have about 11, if i understand correctly is, is this pretty much a to, or are we likely to see in the next couple of days or so people kind of sewing their hat into the ring, if nothing else and just to sure willing yeah. i mean i mentioned richard soon act he was always gonna be a foreigner, a front runner. the bookmakers here in the u. k. say that his chances are in excess of 30 percent. his is way ahead in percentage terms as far as the odds go. penny

morton's his surprise. second, but i mentioned his trust foreign secretary. she's made no secret of her ambition to get the tom job and she will campaign hard in order to get. there are the fact is that the people who haven't yet declared are, are of people like the home secretary for the patel, it's highly likely and that she will put her name forward before the nominations close that she hasn't done so. so far. are you who question why, maybe she's casting around to see whether she has enough support within the party to launch a bid. i'm. but the thing is that all of these big names that you, that i've mentioned, none of them suffer from a lack of ambition. so all of them will be campaigning hard in the next 2 weeks. paul, thanks very much. and he, par brenda's talk. it is from london in bosnia herzegovina, ark ceremonies underway into berry, 50 bodies of newly discovered victims of the several needs said,

genocide. 8000 muslim man and boys were murdered by bosnian serb forces in the town of 70, sir. in 1995 general ratcliff luggage, led the bosnian serb forces and was later convicted of crimes against humanity. harrington miss of which has more from the 70 at this moment, the people who have gathered here to commemorate the victims of the genocide basically are leaving, leaving it in an oil center around 50000 people. have people have been here today. now this gathering here in cyber and it's a, is a specific in 2 kinds a into in 2 ways. first of all, this is a, not just e commerce asian, but also the victims are still being buried. not all victims of the 70 genocide from 27 years ago are buried up to this day. not all of them are even found more than a 1200 of them. more than $1200.00 of the victims are still being the are still missing

that's. that's the, that's the one thing that makes the evidence a specific the other one is that this is a common oration of vic to victims of a genocide, the cerebral and it's a crime crime that happened in thread. and it's are, are the only crimes in the world that are by the death are confirmed. and proved proven to be a genocide by the courts are both, both on the domestic, both domestically, but also on the international level of commodity indeed was convicted of crimes against humanity. but more importantly, he was convicted of the crime of genocide chima, the rock of which is the survivor of the genocide in honor. he told us about his personal experience. the 1st, the fact that i had is the loss of my a close family members. i lost 2 of my uncles and 3 of their sons, my father and my middle brother were captured and they were kept in concentration

camps. so losing family members, especially my cousins, that were my age and losing my school friends. and that whole generation of people, i mean there were not only people that were killed in siblings or region that was the whole society actually, or teachers, or doctors, professors, or school maids and, and everybody that i can remember from my childhood, these kind of kill it in, in dog fine, so they are only a few of us. that's why then still live in this area. these days i returned to siblings in 2005. actually to continue my life of the everything and i and my family here and i have my children here that are growing up with this reality that we face. and it's the valley of this graveyard that you see behind my back. well, if anybody can understand people of ukraine it's, it's people from stevenson and people from bosnia,

generally because the aggression that russia is doing over ukraine is pretty much the same ideology, us serbia's aggression at the beginning of the night. these went below should be 3 . similarly, to put his regime actually invaded another country north macedonia. his quest to join the european union has triggered a series of protests, demonstrative or angry, about a compromise they say, has been imposed on their government. julia wolfe as the story. oh enough is enough . yes, that's the message from these protestors on the streets for a 7th day. now. they're unhappy with some of the conditions and a proposal offered by french president emmanuel mc crohn for the country to begin its long awaited membership talks with the european union. i'm here to say no to that. a lot of people here. oh, we don't want somebody to the story overall history. a civilian

political tensions have been on the rise with violent nightly protests against the proposal. it would require north macedonia to change its constitution to recognize a bulgarian minority protect minority rights and banish hate. speech demands made by bulgaria, ah, political leaders of north macedonia say the proposal is a reasonable compromise, accepting it neither as a historic triumph nor failure. but north macedonian don't agree. there's no way to stop. i keep looking. there is no mattress, numerous in north macedonia has been a candidate for e u membership for 17 years. the country received the green light to begin negotiations in 2020, but no date has yet been set it up to 2017 agreement with greece, which ended a decades long name dispute would open the door for membership talks with the you bubble gary a stepped in using its veto powers as any you member state to block its neighbor

from joining. both nations have been locked in a bit or dispute about history and identity for decades. central european, mr. daniel. but oh, government. oh, this hi. good. good. to hear. 1000 to be my civilian. well, 1944. and what about the whole group follows and bring the importance of all the people who use them was for, for this countries with area. i said that our language area. oh really our name. we're here with the identity of a nation. these people refuse to compromise. to move out is here, world populations growing,

but added slowest pace in 70 years. you and global for gas, says the number of people on our planet should hit 8000000000 by november and increased by half. a 1000000000 towards the end of this decade. a slowing growth has been caused by a drop in birth rates in some countries. in the coming years, the world's populations going to be concentrated in just 8 countries. the democratic republic of congo, egypt, ethiopia, nigeria, pakistan, the philippines, tanzania, and india. i next year india is expected to speed ahead of china as the world's most populous country. global population is also getting older. on average, a person would expect to live to 77 years by 2050, was nearly 73 years in 2019 poverty with our reports from new delhi. and what those figures mean for india, home to nearly one and a half 1000000000 people in there was already on track to becoming the world's most populous nation. now a report about the united nation says it could happen earlier than expected. next

year, india is set to surpass china and the gap between these 2 nations could increase by 2050. this could help india in many ways. for example, india has been pushing for more representation internationally. experts say that concerns and demands could carry more weight, especially at forums like the united nations. on the economic front. this makes india the world's largest consumer market one that could invite a lot more investment. now domestically population control has been a contentious electoral issue. experts have advocated for more focus on reproductive rights and justice. this includes improving good education, increasing the number of women in the workforce and improving much on health. some of these efforts have been effective because the rate of population growth has slowed down considerably. but there are many challenges. the pandemic has reversed many of these gains. many women have been forced to quit the workforce,

and there has been an increase in child marriages. experts say there needs to be more awareness, so family planning becomes an issue of choice and not chance and cohesion. the final phase of the corruption trial of argentine is, vice president is getting underway. one, a series for senior cursor is accused of profiting from dozens of contracts for public works that were allegedly awarded at inflated prices. 12 others are on trial alongside her on verdicts are expected to by the end of the year. finish. formula has more from one to finish. even if he is found innocent of the charge is a, is of a complex case and as a people will be watching, it is going to be several more hours of testimony. so as those results come out, as the information comes out, people will make their judgements. but i think as i say the country is divided. those are who support. christina kitchena will say that this is a politically motivated child against her. that is what she says,

that there are elements in the very judicial system which is bringing the trial. this is the judicial system that her and the and her government once a once to reform, they will continue to support her no matter what. those who believe that she's guilty irrespective of the outcome of this child, will continue to believe he's guilty. they've been accusing her of corruption since she was in office. so that won't change. i don't think it will what she outcome of the trial. but the divisions are already kind of, i think, very firmly sat in argentine society, religious summaries during the most of the festival of eidolon high, involved the sacrifice of an animal. but that's something most afghans can't afford this year. western sanctions and the taliban government have devastated the economy . a la tiffy reports from cobble this is advanced on 1st either law under the taliban in more than 20 years. it also comes at a time of international sanctions and struggling economy with millions of evans out of work are being paid

a fraction of what they want to wear. many or cutting back on their holiday expenses. mohammad now be a dried fruit seller and cobbles largest open air market says with the local currency losing its value. prices have gone up. so people are buying fewer items. he says dried fruit sellers of last 60 to 70 percent of their business. this year they passed in a new all others who people are poor nowadays. we don't have enough sales this year was discussion alone went from 600 of candles to more than 1000, to kill our vector dewresey. it's not just snack so families are also opting out of buying new clothes for the holiday way. the la bowl at a tailor. the coffee pattern neighborhood says his orders have decreased 50 percent this year most from either me book without him. we have only these 2 celebrations. the 2 eats traditionally, whatever people have or they will spend on these to weeds. but this year, a lot of people are struggling with some are even cutting back on the most important part of this iep purchasing animals for the ritual. sacrifice the bill

with you. my papa also has a job and a ministry, but he says his pay has been cut a more than 80 percent. he has managed by a cow in a sheep for his family, but he knows many more will not be able to do the same this year. either go to juan, buck horrible, and you go to vito ais made special by the sacrifice. so many people won't have a proper sense of celebrating ede papa says this year, more than ever. it's important to keep the poor in mind. this margaret is the centerpiece of the dialogue. ha celebration. boy, we seen this year is that people can't afford to buy the animals that they youth do . and the shepherds have also had to cut their prices to meet reduced demand. so again, what it's showing is that the sanctions, the aide cut back and the devaluation of the abalone has affected every aspect of life. and i want to sound right down to the eat celebration ali, let the fee al jazeera cobble. ah,

this is al jazeera, these are the top stories.
