6:03 pm
a groups of worn that failure to actual harm. millions. what have been like there? well, i mean to say that the, the system established by the united nations is irreplaceable by any other angels, mainly local and jose and tricky. so a system is going to be a collapsing. if the un security council doesn't a prolong this, a delivery my situation, a people are face older, they facing dire conditions near, they are facing malnutrition, they lack water. and the health, excepting to proper house, is already a problem. so when the un doesn't prolong the security council doesn't prolong the 8 distribution, it means those are so full. submittals or health centers are going to be closed. people already a depend on those 8 boxes on those food boxes that are delivered by the u. n. n and geo. so they will not have access to proper food. then the majority of the
6:04 pm
population inside is a main there women and children. one in 3 children are already under norie. so this is a huge problem when you speak to the aid organizations to relieve their, to present a really feel organizations. they say that if a poke or 8 doesn't reach to northwood, syria, that host around 4400000 a syrian id piece, who have been displaced in their own countries for several multiple times, maybe preventable bets, even. it will not be prevented. so people will die it from because of simple reasons, a, because they don't have access to proper health and nutrition. this is what they say. well, of course, on the other hand, the united nation is that the funding of a donors for the united nations is also less compared to previous is because it's not on the syria, but there's a war in ukraine. a, it's, you'll be a young man,
6:05 pm
afghanistan, other places. there are many other places that are conflict zones right now. that's why it less money is coming in to those a aid organizations in, in the last one and 2 years. this is also a problem, of course, one other risk air for the civilians. here is a possible military operation that can be conducted by the turkish air and government as the turkish president route to conduct a counter why pg operation against the syrian kurdish fighter group, which is an alberta group in turkey. this may cause another displacement among the civilians are a if it's school, if the oppression is conducted until the fed. so there are so that are so many factors that will affect the civilians life here. but that this border crossing behind may june, vegas of that reaches the barbell. how i is the only lifeline for the civilians and the people need these a who anteria and 8 trucks are provided by the u. n. other in and other air
6:06 pm
international n g yos, sim, costio, lou on the syrian turkish border in hats. i thank you. oh, say an oral which is the vice president of the i h h humanitarian relief foundation. he says it's a critical time for the display syrians from the beginning of the war, 2011. we are very active on the region and we are operating in refugee camps in the villages in towns. every part of the rebel controlled area of to syria, turkish control area of syria. and we know the conditions of the people's united nation is underway. the will part of the relief on the regions. 2014 united nation took the position, cross border division from 11 to 142011 to 2014 on the angel was very active on the ground and the people was suffering too much
6:07 pm
and the need of the pupils cannot be so right the lives improperly. now we are turning to the beginning of the world. it will affect very badly. the life additions of the people is more than 4000000 people are living here. almost the 15000 trucks have been cross last year. the border to so 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, the talk to syria. and the people is going to suffer on the food security medical education in old field for life. and it could be very, very difficult for the theory and pupils in syria in molten syria in bosnia herzegovina, the remains of 50 more victims of the genocide and the town of strieber needs have
6:08 pm
been laid to rest. among the bodies of 3 male teenagers who scattered bones were found in multiple mass graves. same bas ravi has more 27 years after the horrors of the bosnian war remains of the dead are still being identified. still being buried on the anniversary of the genocide had shrub renita 50 more victims were laid to rest their suffering long over, but not forgotten at work. she on i have no dishes, nasty oak of on well, it's easier when you know where their graves are. even if we bury only a couple of bones name when you think of their suffering when you think of what they've been through, i just can't explain how i feel. time survivors say, does not heal alden's. every next anniversary is somehow more difficult than the previous one. and the time takes its toll and,
6:09 pm
and is that an easy day? i can tell you that much is not an easy time of the year. for any one of us, myself included were in the closing months of the war, serbian forces over round the town of shanita. within 10 days they slaughtered more than $8000.00 mostly muslim men and boys. so far the remains of more than 6600 people have been found and buried. as the work of dna investigators continues, funerals are likely to remain a regular part of annual remembrance of hence the women of shrub bernita have had an out sized role and keeping the memory of what happened alive may be an e. m. i simple um the was the united nation seeing thank you that my this is for benita. thank you for the courage that they have had to carry these
6:10 pm
messages and thank you for not giving up. thank you for the fact that they keep their leading efforts to find the efforts of those who are killed during the genocide. he a instrument an estimated 100000 lives were lost in a war, fought along ethnic lines from 1992 to 1995. since russia's invasion of ukraine and a return of war to europe, bosnians worry. instability could spill over to the balkans and ignite tensions once again. his name was ravi on 20 or talked to miss savage. she is in strep and need so far as the terika the site. so if the genocide is, is now we've seen there a place of remembrance, what's been happening there on the samba day approximately 50000 people have been, have gathered here today to commemorate the victims of the genocide,
6:11 pm
but not just to commemorate also to bury 50 off the wicked and his and that is one a that is a thing that makes it is gathering is that i bring saw every year on the 11th of july specific. this is not just a combination of data to the genocide victims. it is their burial. this is an ongoing process process for 27 years and now not all victims have been buried. not all victims have been found up to this point around the 1200 of them are still considered missing. the other point that makes rabbit and sand is gathering here on this day specific, is that this is a remembrance and a common ration off for the victims of a genocide. this is the only genocide in the world. apart from the one in dwanda, that was found to be a genocide, ca, confirmed, and proved in a, by the judiciary, both on the national level, but also also by the international courts. and to try to explain how this,
6:12 pm
how the courts came to the conclusion to decide to explain the scale of crimes committed here. that was committed here by the serbian forces by the buzzing serving forces 27 years ago. i will walk you through a personal story of one how theda man made of each the late late i t g o. one said to us in a private conversation, i feel sometimes ashamed because i only speak of my sons. i only pray for my sons, hardly ever do. i mention. my husband and my husband was such a great such a great man. at 27 years ago in july had teja a last 2 of her sons, her husband, 3 of her brothers and her father. and that's just the immediate family of hers. and that shows the scale of crimes committed here 27 years ago and 7 exam tarik. many thanks now the head of police in kiva says all allegations of war crimes committed
6:13 pm
by russia and ukraine will be fully investigated. under in the battle, told al jazeera police are sharing all information gathered with international prosecutors. alum fisher reports a male rot scare where investigators uncovered a mass grave last month. they are the almost forgotten victims of the early days of the war and ukraine. you haven't wasik has kept watch as they stand in an anonymous freezer van in an anonymous car park. in this unit alone, 12 bodies still not identified still not claimed by their loved ones. with us after pupils her we would like to buy these people. it is a long time. they have been lying here more than 3 months. it is a common key and they are sucked. they can not, i didn't find the body simply by looking of them. many people left for other countries. so they sneaked him. so lying he unclaimed in other units near by 30 soldiers and another 140 other civilians, some recovered from deep and
6:14 pm
a nearby forest. the russians built their positions in this wood facing towards cave when they were forced to withdraw. that's when investigators moved in and the phone one mass grave and they think around here, there will be many more just last month, ukrainian forensic teams phoned the site and started gathering evidence. we pulled 7 bodies from a tiny grave, each victim shot on the head. and dumped their crime being meal and old enough to fight against the russians. even wasik was there that day, helping out, watching the groan give up its secrets monitor from among at the moment a sleep. okay. but when excused the body, so children didn't, even though they are not my children. and i do have 2 children. it's horrible because even his alcohol, i can get it out of my mind for quality. ver cemented from each victim. they've taken dna one day. the family, my claim, them give them
6:15 pm
a proper burial demand. heading the police investigation into what happened. told me no matter how difficult these crimes must be investigated. took a puzzled rebel are worth it. this should be important, not just ukrainians, but to the whole international community. this is very important, the same as the investigations into what happened during world war 2. we must investigate the army of the russian federation, the army commanders. this message should be delivered. the bodies will sit for a few more weeks, then there will be quietly buried. but for no, the sit silent witnesses in an investigation into war crimes and murder, allan fisher, al jazeera, murat sca, you cream. russian president vladimir putin has signed a decree to fast track russian citizens for citizenship, for ukrainians. a document published on the government's website details, a streamlined naturalization process to any one with the ukranian passport. citizenship was previously only offered to ukrainians in russian controlled regions
6:16 pm
. okay, plenty more. the news hour, including japan prime minister promises to increase military spending and work towards amending the constitution after winning a sweeping majority. argentina's former president is back in court and corruption charges will the outcome damage her chances in next year's presidential election. we'll hear from the writing open champion ahead of this week's gulf major. that's coming up with joe in support. ah, the opposition parties in sri lanka, holding negotiations to form a new unity government or saturday protest, a storm, the residences of the president and prime minister in colombo, demanding both leaders, resign. president, go to buy a roger parks are and prime minister ronald dig them a singer have been blamed for the nations worst economic crisis in 7 decades. the government has been unable to pay for a central imports of food,
6:17 pm
fertilizer medicines, and fuel. banal fernandez has more from colombo and despite the seeming chaos and free for all. or you can see that there are still certain structures and systems that are in place. if you just look behind me, the line of, of military personnel guarding entrance to the presidential secretary, obviously a certain section of it that takes you to certain offices and things like that are, this is very different. the steps that takes you to a different section. obviously which people are being allowed a little bit of freedom to go explore. we need a new system. we need a new governance muted new prov. you new proper leaders. so to develop, you change that and to bring this mission of a country to a stable position until we are fighting on to the end. and this is where the protest all are started in terms of the go to go campaign. it was a campaign to see the exit of president go to albert, roger pox for 3 months,
6:18 pm
just down the road. they set up camp and they stayed there. and just a few days ago, this office, the president's office was overrun. no, as you can see all around me, there's hundreds of people milling about. and there are cues waiting to go inside. obviously, there's just a certain section that people are being allowed into. another historic building, it's served as the country's 1st parliament as an amazing chamber. so people are taking the chance to go have a look the will population is growing, but at its lowest pace in 70 years. a u. n. global forecast says the number of people on our planet should had 8000000000 by november and increased by half, a 1000000000 towards the end of this decade. the slowing growth has been caused by a drop in birth rates in some countries. in the coming years, the world's population will be concentrated and just 8 countries, the democratic republic of congo, egypt, ethiopia, nigeria, pakistan,
6:19 pm
the philippines, tanzania, and india. by next year, india is expected to speed ahead of china is the world's most populous country. the global population is also getting older, on average, a person would expect to live to 77 years by 2050. it was really 73 years in 2019, which on wilma, is the director of the united nations population division. he says, what we're seeing is the results of long term patterns and individual choices for many countries. now we're now in a situation where about 2 thirds of the world's population is living in the country or a territory where the number of births per woman over a lifetime is below $2.00. and that level of $2.00 births per woman. that's the level at which we could have 0 population growth in the long run. if that were the long term average number of births for women. but it's fallen well below that number in many countries in some countries below 1.5, even below 1.31 point one in
6:20 pm
a couple of cases. so this is what's slowing, the growth of the world population and making each are very rapidly all society space that problem. but traditionally we had many more children than older people to take care of. and, and now it's switching to a point where, you know, depending on how you define the age groups, the number of older people will eventually be larger than the number of children. and this, you know, this is implications for rather obvious reasons that you've got a lot of private and public arrangements to care for people that older ages. there are financial implications involved, especially for government budgets. but they're also real concerns about you know, the living conditions or those elderly people. what will that be like and will that, will there be adequate social protections to ensure that this growing population of
6:21 pm
older people is not impoverished poverty, mental reports from new delhi? and won't 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 by 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 electorate issue. experts have advocated for more focus on
6:22 pm
reproductive rights and justice. this includes improving goods 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 low 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 of family planning becomes an issue of choice and not chance and cohesion. the body of former japanese prime minister sions obey has arrived to the tokyo temple. his wake who take place of the so g temple on monday evening with a funeral for family and close friends on tuesday. i was assassinated while campaigning for local elections on friday. please have acknowledged security lapses . prime minister from your casita has vow to continue working on shims, obeys campaign promises every month or so no more. you inheriting abbeys, legacy,
6:23 pm
especially the constitution amendment, which he put so much of as if it into i will work on challenges that are by could not solve on his own. but on that he thought he mule smith. i'll continue working and bring a bright future to our beloved comfortable hand, which are a love to tow it. we need to pass this legacy to the next generation. no more. michael pen is the owner of the she gets the news agency. he says constitutional reform in japan isn't guarantee thus despite the selection result, the ruling party together with its coalition partner, a committee to have had the super majority in both houses for during some time actually during abe's premiership. and even though he is a strong advocate for constitutional revision, he never really made a serious effort to do it. the reason was it just would take that would cause the spending of a lot of political capital. you know,
6:24 pm
it's not an issue that the public itself has any consensus on and so it's difficult prospect. so in order to change the constitution, you not only 2 thirds in both houses, but then there needs to be a referendum that goes to the people in which a majority supports whatever the proposed revision is. and on that side, it's not never been clear that you have these public with vote for it. so the situation now, yes, that's the sort of the, within the ruling party, i think the momentum to try to change the constitution is, is stronger than it has been. but on the other hand, one of the people who may be more somewhat leery about this is actually prime minister soon yaki shita himself, because he's not from that wing that's been calling for the original constitution from the other wing the moderate way. so the question is, how much is he going to go along with the right wing of his party wants this? and how much is he going to going to try to sort of divert it? so even though they have the super majority in the upper house,
6:25 pm
it's not at all clear that they can 1st of all agree upon a specific text. and that the prime minister is really going to push it the governing policies. victory paves the way for possible changes to the pacific constitution, which would strengthen the military role in the global stage. prime minister furio casita 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 did promise is to provide at least $2000000000.00 and maritime equipment to the indo pacific region. japan's constitution was drafted after the 2nd world war and does not allow its defense forces to deploy abroad. but legislation passed in 2015 allows its forces to support allies in foreign conflicts. prod, glosser man is the deputy director of the center for rule making strategies at ta, my university in tokyo, he says japan is looking to raise its defense profile on the international stage.
6:26 pm
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 sense that to be a partner and a better supporter for 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 starts it. so the japanese in an attempt to do more in the world in the region and to demonstrate to other countries that they should be concerned about japan as well, is now thinking about of that 2 percent 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 election results have created a 2 3rd super majority in the parliament that is prepared to discuss and consider amendment. but what specific amendments are still all lot left to be done?
6:27 pm
so hey, on al jazeera, the race to become the u. k. 's next prime minister gathers pace with 11 conservative party candidates. now, in the running how luba leveraged angry protests and secretly lobbied governments during his rapid global expansion including calamity in canada after the break. joe will tell you what went wrong in this game. ah, it's not that offer. we can trace the real front to the monsoon rains, as it comes from pakistan across the re been peninsula. but i think you can argue that it definitely what it is. and when it came across, where the rain proper came across, burst in pakistan about 5 days ago,
6:28 pm
produced flooding also in a man's big thunderstorms appliances for proper rain at low levels. that's the tail end of it. now in the southwest, sadie rabbits abuse thunderstorms and some flash flooding in the masses west in saudi and down in yemen. otherwise we're back to normal water. 2 showers may be up in the north of a month. the rest of the middle east, not up to turkey, is what he expected to be in a fairly hot in places particularly wrong, but probably not extreme. for the most part, the winds out that strong, the onshore breeze in turkey in egypt keeps it reasonably cool on the coast in turkey, significantly cold, i think on the eastern side and probably georgia underneath that rain. so that's the big picture. then during wednesday, if you follow that line of shouts from yemen, you come across air trail more, especially ethiopia, sudan, and south dan and the central after republican some shouts might reach, kenya. very interesting somali, even this here is only a hint of rain just coming ah,
6:29 pm
the bowls journalism, the police violently dispersing protest this, these are some of good tens of thousands of people try to flee. gobble, inspired to program, making welcome to generation chains, unrivalled with broadcasting. white people did not want black children in their schools. we have to apply for it and al jazeera english proud recipient of the new york festivals broadcaster the year award for the 6 year running. a scale modern slavery in the u. k is enormous. we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg. we had a summer cold morgan, slavery. i just been sort all the route. don't com, rush you point someone was, don't i haven't companies need to thought to understand that this is exploitation if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. and there are some very,
6:30 pm
very nasty people. at the al jazeera investigates britain's modern slave trade, hulu. ah, you're watching, i was just there. and a reminder of our top story is this our, a un security council mandate for life saving a deliveries between turkey and northwest syria has expired. putting millions of lives at risk. last week, russia vetoed resolution to extend shipments for another year. in bosnia herzegovina ceremony is on the way to bury 50 bodies of newly discovered victims of the strip and eats genocide. 8000 muslim men and boys were murdered by bosnian serb forces in the town of 72 in 1995. the world population is growing at
6:31 pm
a slow pace in 70 years. the un global forecast, as by next year, india was the past. china was the most populous country. the number of people on our planet should hit a 1000000000 by november. now, according to that you and report africa is projected to account for more than half of the world's population growth by 2050. and the western so hail is forecast to be one of the fastest growing regions. that's an area that includes molly burkina, faso, nevada, and chad. it's also one of the most vulnerable areas to climate change. while than half the population, there is under 18. many children are growing up with limited access to education and health care. the un says more than 30000000 people in western, so hell don't have enough to eat. and that's driving conflict. as groups can compete for increasingly scarce resources. okay, well for more in this let speak to kathy and mcgue logan and she's the president
6:32 pm
and ceo of the population institute. she joins be live from washington, d. c. so we're a mix story there when it comes to changes in population. so how region do you see it as a, as a blessing or cursed? seeing the numbers go the way they are doing globally, as you said, it is a very mixed picture when it comes to population trends in this a hell region. however, where population growth rates are continuing at a very rapid rate, it really exacerbates many of the intersecting challenges the region is facing until one of the other things that standing out from the increase in population in the so how region is how it might exacerbate gender inequality as well. absolutely. one of the major challenges when we have a region with such rapid population growth is that it has a very useful age structure. that means that each generation is larger quite
6:33 pm
a bit larger than the one before it. and that can overwhelm the ability of the government to provide even the most basic health services and education services for its growing population. and that is something that has really exacerbated gender inequality in the region. we see more and more girls unable to go to school more and more girls and young women unable to access health services that would enable them to have reproductive autonomy in their lives. that leads to very high fertility. and this continued rapid population growth in the region. another thing that some researches have talked about is, is the scourge of of child marriage and an early child birth. what should governments health ortiz and these respective countries be doing to try and bring the situation under control? really glad you brought up the issue of child marriage. it is a huge concern in the region and it's something that's very closely linked to the demographic trends in the rapid population growth and the youthful age structures
6:34 pm
that we see in the region. in the chair, for example, 28 percent of girls are married before the age of 15. this means that they start having children very early and then they have a lot of children over their reproductive lives. one of the things that can be done to help address the issue of child marriage, of course. ringback is to tackle issues of girls, education, and other things that enable girls and young women to have greater opportunities in their lives. we have partners in the region who are doing some really innovative work in the area of creating safe spaces for adolescent girls. these are places where girls can go to gain basic skills in literacy and numeracy to learn about their rights to learn about the ways in which they can plan their families to learn about the health benefits that come from delaying 1st child birth and greater spacing between earth in their lives and over time these kinds of programs can
6:35 pm
enable young women to have greater autonomy in other aspects of their lives. maybe pursue in education and enter the workforce in ways that will help to address the systemic gender in equity in the region. of course or another major impact is the effect of climate change. countries all around the world are experiencing sure to use a few food and fuel, but of course that will be keenly felt and some of the most fragile economies in the world that absolutely the so hell region has experienced significant impacts from climate change in terms of drought and unpredictable rainfall that really has a huge impact on agricultural productivity in the region. and as you mentioned earlier, this is something that has had massive effects on food insecurity. recently there have been more food insecure people in the region than we've seen in generations. and this is something that creates immense challenges for sustainable development
6:36 pm
and the health and well being of people and what it leads to more and more is people being on the move, we're seeing a lot of internally displaced people in the region. currently, there are 3000000 refugees and ended internally displaced people throughout this the hell region. and a lot of that has to do with these intersecting challenges of rapid population growth, climate change, and political instability in the region. cafe mocha gog really great to have you on the program causing moga president to see or the population is to thank you. now the race to replace boys, johnson is british prime minister, is shaping up to be a tough come to us. so for 11 candidates of launch leadership bids, including former chancellor richie sooner. former health surgery such a jury is also in the race. all contenders are expected to join will be a 2 stage election process. wouldn't want to damage anybody's chances by offering my support. i just have to not to get online,
6:37 pm
i have to get on. and in the last few days, a weeks the, the job, the constitutional function of the prime minister in this, in this situation is, is to discharge the mandate to continue to his job mandate. and that's what i'm doing or pull brennan this lie for us in london or with more import doesn't seem to be a day or indeed an hour that goes by without somebody new throwing their hat into the ring. and tell us about the latest candidates. while not long ago, before the 1922 committee, this committee within the conservative party decides how the time table in the process is going to run out while we're waiting for is to see whether pretty patel, the home secretary decisive, throw her hat into the ring she hasn't as yet, but the main candidate that we can talk of at the moment. well, let's start with richie soon as he is the chancellor was the chancellor before he resigned and protested forrest johnson. and he is far and away at the moment, the book makers, favorites he's got around
6:38 pm
a 31 percent chance of ultimate victory according to the book makers. but that said his policy on taxing, it's richie soon acts taxes which is taking the u. k, to the ios level of tax burden since the 1940s at a time and all the other leadership candidates are pledging to cut tax. i think richey soon act and i have problems to square that circle in his campaign. this truss is the foreign secretary at the moment. she's made no secret of her ambition to get the top jobs. she certainly to the right of what is already a right leaning party. she is promising tax cuts and on her candidacy, i think will be a very and stern and, and well run operation. and the other unexpected name is penny mordant, who is a trade secretary. and she is putting herself as a kind of unity candidate in her opening tweet, launching a cam paint, said leadership should be less about the leader and, and more about the ship. so it's clear that she wants to have a,
6:39 pm
a more collegiate approach if she is eventually elected as prime minister. and finally, of course, you got such a job id, who is the former health salary, former chancellor as well in a previous, an administration. and what he brings is a wealth of experience on the front benches. he's perhaps one of the most experienced in the field as far as cabinet level experience. although he is running into some difficulty about his non domiciled tax status. and before he entered politics, he was a managing director of deutscher bank. so there's some question marks about whether his non dom status might be an impediment to his or is man of a people kind of credentials. and i got to say that we, we spoke a little earlier, it's up to one of the lesson and in fact, the least known candidates of all of them. and that ceramic shish d, he's an a 3rd tier that trip minister in the foreign office. and he explained to us why he's decided unexpectedly to throw his hat into the ring. i am the lesson in
