9:00 pm
in taking you in to a place that you might not visit otherwise, and to absolutely feel as if you were there. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm me, barker. this is the news, our life coming up in the next 60 minutes. as a major, you impact aid corridor closes some display. syrians and rebel held areas blame russia for tougher times ahead. president joe biden says he's determined to buy an assault weapons at an event to celebrate america's 1st major gun legislation. 30 years. folks are underway in sri lanka to form a unity. government or protest is occupied the presidential home for the 2nd day.
9:01 pm
and a new un reports as africa will have the youngest population in the world by 2050. but experts warn inequality in some regions and danger the future. i'm gonna get your, i'll go with the sports novick chuck, which is heading home to celebrate a 7th wimbledon title. that could be his last grand slam this season. ah, welcome to the show. we start this news hour in 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 you and assistance through the bible, how a crossing on the syrian turkish border on friday, russia veto de security council resolution to prolong aid 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 living in camps and more
9:02 pm
than half of them are children. since losing control of the enclave, the syrian government is cut off basic services and it's attacked medical facilities and schools. philadelphia russia pushed us to 10th hunger, thirst, and heat. and now they want to deny as few date. it barely sustains us during these difficult time, brochures fighting with us, we completely refuse this veto. i'm a mother to orphans and i refused rushes plans close. bob, how we're crossing our society refuses. it was a huge shock to us. a great tragedy to the residents of this camp. unfortunately, humanitarian aid gets affected by military and political messes. to them, castillo has more from the border crossing and i turkey. the un trucks are not allowed to enter and it is a delay that which is a religious holiday among muslim people. that's why commercial trucks are not passing through this corridor. however, turkish and yos are able to cross the border even though it's
9:03 pm
a holiday. or even if the u. n. a u and trucks are a bent from crossing the border by you and security council. it's a quiet day, as i said, because it is eat and people in a behind this border in it live are terrified about what's going to happen because there are more than 4000000 people inside it live. who are actually is stuck because this is the only rebel held area across syria, a current, the russia claims that the 8 deliveries should not be from a bubble. how a crossing a but should be conducted through damascus. i because a going through any other country like iraq or a jordan or turkey violate sovereignty of a syrian government. but when you speak to the civilians and 8 organizations, they are not sure about how fair the a distribution will be. if the you and a deliveries are conducted through damascus, of course the un in it,
9:04 pm
we are hearing that the you and is also working on some alternative roads or alternative plans. but many of the in deals i have spoken so far, tell me that the system that was established by the un is the most effective. one is the fastest one cheapest one. and it reaches the many, many people inside northwest syria. or joining us live from washington, d. c is andrew tebler. he is a senior fellow in the program on our politics of the washington institute. thanks for joining us. welcome to the show. a cost or by asking you about your concerns about the impact of the closure of this border we've heard from all corresponded there about the impacts of human rights and civilians are on this really in a groups. what are your concerns? it makes the importation of almost anything humanitarian much more expensive, much harder and serious civilians are going to pay the price. and so therefore, western government, the russians are trying to work out an agreement. there would see that cross border
9:05 pm
a continue, what you understand to be russia rationale for, for blocking things of you and security council. their real rationale seems to be, to support their client, their client, the mascot need. and atkins, regime was to me and all the lies, the un food it knows it's very expensive, they've used it as a weapon throughout, throughout the work. but it's also a bargaining chip with turkey and also with the united states. they know that the european countries in particular, are concerned about the humanitarian impact. because that could possibly have the syrians leaving the country and going northward into europe. so the russians are trying seems to negotiate the real issue. that seems to be the scope of the activities that are included this time as humana, terry, and in the russian drafts put forward so far they have included electricity, which is a lot more controversial than traditional water intrude and other kinds of humanitarian
9:06 pm
instruments. of course, if a northern crossing isn't used from turkey and to northern syrians, suggestion is the aide will go through the capital damascus in the hands, very much of the regime. what does this all mean in the hope of aid getting to the north of syria? cross border, sorry, cross line aid, which goes from regime l territories to non regime held territories, which are substantial and area is very difficult to arrange. it would give damascus a tremendous amount of bargaining power with those areas that are outside of the regimes control. so not something that can be tolerated. and that's the reason why diplomats are looking for a solution. what do you think the thing to play? the un, you've got the sense that there are still back door channels open for negotiations behind the scenes. it seems yes that there is a draft in the works perhaps for a 6 month extension for another 6 months with some kind of reporting between. but
9:07 pm
again, with that expanded language on what does she managerial the russians want a crack in the international and un, and sorry us and european sanctions regime to expand humanitarian activities, which are technically exempt. andrew at table a great just be cheap under table or live from washington, d. c. senior fellow at the program on our politics. now the u. s. president says he's determined to buy an assault weapons used frequently and mass shootings. joe biden was speaking in an event to law. the passage of the 1st significant federal gum safety legislation in 30 years. the so called a safer communities act was approved with bipartisan support following a mash shooting at a school in texas. in may. mike, hannah joins us now from outside the white house. so mike, what is the present and but what is the president trying to do here? and what kind of impact is it likely to have?
9:08 pm
well, the president, on this particular occasion, is highlighting this success in getting bipartisan gun legislation through congress the 1st time in decades. this was an occasion in which those who being impacted by mass shootings gathered here at the white house. we also heard from a pediatric surgeon who had to examine and treat children following that shooting in you've all the texas. so this was an occasion in which the president chose to celebrate the bypassing as a passing of the bipartisan gun legislation, but also at the same time, insisting that this legislation does not go far enough. calling once again for a ban on automatic weapons, something which he shepherded through when he was in the senate from 1994 to 2004. when there was a ban on automatic weapons in force at period in which the president says at the shoot, 8 incidents of shooting dropped radically. so he's reiterating this call. now he
9:09 pm
also provided what are truly disturbing statistics guns are the number one killer are children in the united states. more in the car actions more than cancer. and over the last 2 decades, more high school children have died from gunshots than on duty police officer in active duty military combined. think of that. now we can't just stand by. we can let it happen any longer with rights come responsibilities. yes, there's a right to bear arms. we also have a right to live freely without fear for our live. a my go of these efforts by the bought an administration been received by the countries powerful gun lobby. well, they've been generally welcomed by the mass of the countries population, but as you point out, the powerful gun lobby has rejected that even those limited changes at congress
9:10 pm
managed to agree on the national rifle association issued a statement immediately that legislation was passed saying that it infringes 2nd amendment rights, the right to bear arms. president biden addressed that point directly during his speech, saying it in no way infringes that 2nd amendment. i've gotten ownership should be a responsible act. he said as well that he possesses 4 shot guns, 2 on his and to belong to his now the c son bow, but he says those guns are kept locked up securely all the time. and he says, this is just an example of what a responsible gun ownership should be. so he's trying to make clear here that he's not attempting to attack those who want to own guns. that is responsible gun owners . what he wants to do is eradicate this ongoing gun violence, a large part of which has nothing to do with responsible gun ownership. president biden trying to emphasize that this is not an issue of 2nd amendments. it's
9:11 pm
a way in which lives can be saved and what he made very clear in his speech as well is that this is not an end to the legislation. that agreement that congress managed to go as modest as it could be. it is, he made very clear just the beginning. he wants to push it further. he wants to enforce more tangible federal gun legislation. many thanks, mike mike hanner of the white house. the high number of my shootings in the u. s. this year has prompted several states including new jersey to bring in new restrictive gun laws. they accused the federal government of acting to slow gabriel elizondo reports from jersey city. the most recent mass shootings in the united states have renewed calls for gun control in america. but it's a complicated issue, in part because each of the 50 states has freedom to enact gun laws as they see fit . making the u. s. a nation of a myriad of often disjointed firearm laws,
9:12 pm
interstate can do what they want within the fixed parameters of the constitution and federal law. that's, that is the system. and every state really has the incentive to do something different within reason because every state truly is different. but there's stronger laws really mean less gun violence here in the state of new jersey. the answer is yes. according to the gifford law center, to reduce gun violence, new jersey has the 2nd strictest gun laws anywhere in the united states, and also has some of the lowest gun death rates. even still governor phil murphy signed 7 new bills into law that tightened the states already stringent gun regulations. new jersey hes one of the nation's lowest rates of gun violence and gun death. there was a reason for that. it is because we are among the leaders in guns safety state
9:13 pm
officials are bracing for as many as 200000 new gun permit applications before the new laws go into effect. the challenge with gun policy in america can also be seen in new jersey because of its neighboring state pennsylvania, which has much looser gun policy. guns can easily cross state lines while now new jersey can do our best to kind of protect our communities with these really great common sense one gun legislation. unfortunately, we're susceptible because there are places that people can obtain more freely in neighboring new york. the governor recently announced anyone applying for a new gun permit will also have to list their socio media counts. the stronger the gun laws, the lower the gun death rate. but the issue is more complicated than people on either side of the gun debate. often like to admit gabe rosato algiers, eda, jersey city, new jersey. plenty more ahead of the news out,
9:14 pm
including both the amongst 27 years since the strep. beneath the genocide in which nearly $8000.00 listed men and boys were killed. japan's prime minister promises to increase military spending and worked towards amending the constitution of to winning a sweeping majority and will hear from the reigning open champion the head of this week's gulf major. that's coming up with joe and suppose ah, ukraine is calling on western partners to step up weapons supplies and imposed new sanctions of russia. now, self to russian, president vladimir putin signed a decree to fast track russian citizenship for ukrainians. a document published on the government's website details, a streamlined naturalization process to anyone, whether ukrainian passport citizenship was previously only offered to ukrainians in russian controlled regions. or the had a police and key f says all allegations of war. crimes committed by russia and
9:15 pm
ukraine will be fully investigated. andre, in the back of told al jazeera police, the sharing all information gathered with international prosecutors. allen fisher reports muranski, 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 pico 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 their 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
9:16 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 phone the site and started gathering evidence. they 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 groaned give up its secrets, monitor foreman. at the moment to sleep. okay, but when i examined 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. those dimensions from each victim. they've taken dni one day. the family might claim them, give them a proper burial demand heading the police investigation into what happened. told me
9:17 pm
no matter how difficult these crimes must be investigated. took a bristled, 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 they will be quietly buried. but for no the sit silent. witnesses in an investigation into war crimes and murder, allan fisher, al jazeera murat skirt, you cream, horrific conditions labs, how the un describes the state of thousands of children living in conflict zones. in a report it served the countries where kids struggled the most last year were, have canister and the democratic republic of congo, israel, and the occupied palestinian territory, somalia, syria, and yemen. while ethiopia mozambique and ukraine were mentioned, as areas of particular concern,
9:18 pm
report found there were nearly $24000.00 violations against children last year, not $65.00, a day. a 1070 children were killed or maimed by explosives, mines, or 6310 were recruited and used in conflicts. there was a 20 percent jumping, abductions and sexual violence, and an increase in attacks on schools and hospitals. while our diplomatic editor james base has more for us on this from the un headquarters in new york and james, quite a catalogue of abuses against children there. but this report is controversial, is dead. so tell us why it's always controversial. when this report comes out, this is the report, but what's most important is the annex the back, which is required by the un security council. and it's that blacklist when which it lists all the countries and armed groups that have been targeting children and have been responsible for the death or injury of children in conflict zones around the
9:19 pm
war and the world. and what human rights activists will tell you is that what's in the actual report, the body of the report does not entirely match those that are on the black list. for example, in yemen, the saudi led coalition were responsible, according to the report for killing or maiming a 100 yamini children, yet they are not on the blacklist. another example is israel. israel is responsible for many deaths, 78 deaths of children in the time period of this report in 2021. and yet it is not on the blacklist. the person who puts the report together is the you ends, special representative for children, non conflict. virginia gamba, and i pressed her on this. why is israel not listed? i was baptized there a you in a very specific way. what he saw interesting of the figures of last year, he said 80 percent of the figures attributed to both sides and not to just the one to both sides correspond to
9:20 pm
a 10 day period in may of 2021 and am 80 percent of all the numbers correspond to those 10 days as such, the decision of their secondary generation can see those that as a peak of violence that has subsided 15 months ago. but i don't, i don't really understand that has that they're not listed because they killed all the children in a small period of time. it doesn't make sense. well, if you would least denise that we had been engaging with them with both sides former 3 years and we had noticed a constant decrease for those 3 years, except for the peak of those 10 days. human rights activists are unhappy with this whole process. they say the report has very good information in it, but the list at the end, the black list has become effectively a white wash. what happens next is this report goes to the un security council database it next week, and important report,
9:21 pm
but glaring omissions. james bays of the un thank you. in bosnia has the governor the remains of 50 more victims of the genocide and the town of cerebral needs to have been laid to rest. among the bodies a 3 mile teenagers who scattered bones were found to multiple mass graves. same bas robbie 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 dish is nasty oak o fun. when 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
9:22 pm
say, does not heal, always. every next anniversary is somehow more difficult than the previous one. and the time takes its toll and, and is that an easy day? i can tell you that much. it's not an easy time of the year for any one of us myself included with 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 shrubbery. nita have had an out sized role and keeping the memory of what happened alive may be an
9:23 pm
exam symbol of the wild, the united nation. seeing thank you to the madness of 72. thank you for the courage that they have had to carry these 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 attend during begin a fight. 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. same bas ravi altogether. the opposition parties, insur lanka, holding negotiations to form a new unity government on saturday, protest a storm. the residences of the president and prime minister in colombo, commanding both leaders resign. present, go to by roger parker and prime minister ronald vicar m a singer,

9:28 pm
ah it's not that offer, we can trace the real front to the monsoon rains as it comes from pakistan across the raving peninsula. but i think you can argue that it definitely what it is. and when it came across with the rain proper, came across burst in pakistan about 5 days ago, produced flooding, also in a man's big thunderstorms. appearances were proper rain at low levels. that's the tail end of it. now in the southwest, the saudi arabians abuse, thunderstorms and some flash flooding in the masses of western saudi and danny yemen. otherwise we're back to normal. one or 2 showers may be up in the north of a man. the rest of the middle east, mad at 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,
9:29 pm
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 a shout from yemen, you come across air trail more, especially ethiopia, sudan, and south sedan and the central after republican. some shouts might reach kenya, very interested in somalia. even this here is only a hint of rain just coming. ah . what is the ocean's witnessed? plainness. witness? difference is witness. change. witness, happiness. witness. mad. witness. sunlight. witness de la. witness. last witness. charity witness. confusion. witness. clarity. witness, family and witness. friends. witness the beginning. witness. the end witness.
9:30 pm
life witness when algebra errors from al jazeera on the go and me tonight out is there is only a mobile app is there for you. this is where we dissects, analyze, to find what's going on, i guess from out there is a mobile app available in your favorite app. still, just sat for it and tapped, made a new app from al jazeera needs at you. think it it ah ah,
9:31 pm
you're watching al jazeera, a reminder of our top stories this hour. a un security council mandate for life saving a deliveries between turkey and northwest syria has expired, fitting millions of lives at risk. last week, russia veto to resolution, to extend shipments for another year. you as president joe biden says he's determined to buy the salt weapons, frequently used a mash shootings, the so called safer community communities act was approved with bipartisan support following a shooting at a school in texas in may, ukraine's calling a western pond as to step up weapon supplies impose new sanctions on russia. that's off to russian. president vladimir putin assigned a decree to fast track russian citizenship ukrainians. that are the reply raised to replace boys johnson this british prime minister is shaping up to be a tough contest. so far, 11 candidates of launch leadership bids, including former chancellor richey snack, former health sectors, such
9:32 pm
a chevy is also in the race or contenders are expected to joy. what 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, i have to get on. and in the last few days, a weeks the, the job of the constitutional function of the prime minister in this, in this situation is to, is to discharge the mandate to continue to discharge mandate. and that's what i'm doing. or i pull brennan's their life for us in london. so we're we are now paula 11. i contented so far. i mean, who's getting conservative party pulses racing? well certainly a risha soon act is the, the bookmakers favorite running it around 38 percent odds of becoming the next prime minister. certainly, according to the book makers, sorta coalescing around his candidacy. another good candidates in the sense that
9:33 pm
a competitive candidates is, is less trust. now, she is the foreign secretary. she is made no disguise of her ambition for the top job. and she's come out of the gates with a big tax cutting promise. and after that we're, we're looking at penny mordant, she's a trade minister and she seems to be doing particularly well with some of the conservative members. and one of her opening bids is to be a bit more collegiate. she said leadership should be less about the leader and more about the ship. so it looks like she won't be running the very kind of centrists as in gathering power towards her in the center. if she became prime minister. and then of course, the other big candidate is sergeant javert, who launched his campaign at a news conference today. he is a former chancellor, also a former health secretary and he is banishing his credentials again on a tax cutting basis with it with
9:34 pm
a platform of promising to cut taxes. interesting poll that i just had out from the conservative home group. they pulled conservative members, nasty, put penny mordant, as the most popular amongst conservative members at around 20 percent. with the equality minister, kimmy bather, knock at 19 percent. there is another candidates, a rank outsider, remonde shifty. and he probably has no hope at all, but we spoke to him a little earlier about his reasons for throwing his hat in the ring. i am the less than candidate in this race. but what i stand for is what the great british public stands for determination, hard work, perseverance, self believe. and at this point in time, each and every member of parliament last week had to ask themselves the question, how do we step up, answer our great country as we move forward with transitioning government and party leadership. and therefore that for me, it was important to put out that to my parliamentary colleagues as almost equals what my schools were and what i stand for, what amount values up. and for me it's about aspirational conservatism and paul,
9:35 pm
we're expecting her an important meeting of junior m p. 's. later they do believe it's happened. i mean it, my understanding is it's, it's just finished at what we are waiting for is the grant brady. he is the chairman of that 1922 committee. that's a committee within the conservative party, which is setting the time table in the process for the leadership contest. were all gathered here on college green outside parliament. but he, i understand, has had to go in to a parliamentary vote, and that's why an announcement this year at around 7 o'clock local time, 18 g has actually been delayed for a while. we're still waiting for it. now, my understanding is though that the threshold for candidates to actually get in to the 1st round of the character of the contest will be somewhere around 20 supporters. now ordinarily it's just 8 m p support. he would be enough to get you on that in that 1st round. the reason why they're setting the bar quite high is because they want this process to be done as quickly as possible. we'd out the people who really don't stand any realistic prospect and get it down to the
9:36 pm
absolute knob of the candidates ahead of the next thursday, which is when the parliament finishes for summer. and they need to be down to the last 2 candidates by next thursday. that's july the 21st. the reason why another reason, boris johnson, still sitting in number 10, much to the dissatisfaction of many conservative m. p 's who believe the reasons why he was forced to resign actually mean he should be out of the danny street, much quicker than forest johnson would prefer to be home many thanks for brendan in london, the steve berlin, my close ally to former president donald trump, says he's willing to testify before you s u. s. house panel investigating last year's attack on the capital. brandon's testimony could provide more insight into trump's efforts to stop the certification of jo biden's election when bands refused to testify until now, claiming his white house communications were covered by executive privilege. the final phase of the corruption trial of argentina's,
9:37 pm
vice president is getting underway and boiler sarah's. christina de kirschner is accused of profiting from dozens of public works contracts that were allegedly awarded and inflated prices. 12 others on trial alongside her and verdicts are expected by the end of the year with daniel shy, miller is in what us air is for us to bring you up to bring us up to speed with this corruption case. daniel will is a case that actually began in 2019, but as you mentioned were entering the final crucial phase with the former president. christina fernandez the kitchener 12 other defendants including 2 former cabinet ministers, the verdicts and if necessary, sentencing. we are, we're expecting to see a before the end of the year, but she is a huge figure in argentine politics. she was the president from 2007 until 2015. her husband left the kitchen or was president before her. and it's quite likely that she will stand in presidential elections next year. you say the vice president,
9:38 pm
but a hugely influential character within the government of alberta, bill fernandez. and the huge divisive figure in argentina. she enjoys a great deal of support in the trade union movement in the more marginalized working class areas of, of argentina, but vehemently dislikes in the more affluent areas of the country. so people will be watching this case. it's online or 50 or so a squares on your screen and everyone able to have access to that, watching this case or proceed to day on to it that in to wednesday and friday, and into the next a few months or hearing testimony. or we expect from her at some stage as well as well as her the other 12 defenders. and daniel, how might they santa growing political and economic instability in the country, given all the protests that we've seen in recent days and weeks what yet? i mean, huge protest sir, all around argentina on saturday, which was the,
9:39 pm
did their anniversary of the declaration of independence should have been a day of celebration. it really was a day of divisiveness. i'm protest, and this will just add to that. as i said, many people are out there with big dummy's models. old christina kitchener addressed in prison outfits or people calling for her prosecution for her jailing of corruption. obviously, a big element in latin american politics or in general, all sorts of accusations always leveled at former presidents court cases, often coming to the fore. we've seen them in brazil, in ben bolivia in peru, ecuador, in recent years. so that is quite common. christina kitchen is saying that she is innocent and the victim of a political persecution. that's usually what the other defendants will say in these cases. but really are her future obviously rests on this. a guilty verdict will put a possibly put behind bars if she sound innocent, if this case is is absolved,
9:40 pm
then she could well be running or to again become president of argentina next year . sure, daniel formula and bona service. thank you. in other news, the body of former japanese prime minister shin. so abbe has arrived at a tokyo temple. his wake has taken place at the so georgie temple on monday evening with the funeral for family and close friends. on tuesday, i was assassinated while campaigning for local elections on friday. police of acknowledged security lapses. prime minister female casita has vowed to continue working on so have a campaign, promises, abbey and little 40. no. well you inheriting abbeys. legacy. 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 and added to the mule smith. i'll continue working and bring a bright future to our beloved, comfortable hand, which our bay loves to. we need to pass this legacy to the next generation. you

know, why go pen is the owner of the she gets the news agency. he says, constitutional reform in japan isn't guarantee despite the election 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 our base 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, is it just would take that would cause the spending of a lot of political capital. you know, 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 do 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 with the japanese public with vote for it. so the situation now. yes, that's the sort of the within the ruling party,
9:42 pm
i think the momentum to try to change the constitution is, is stronger than it has been. but on the other hand, you know, one of the people who may be more, somewhat leery about this is actually prime minister fully okey shita himself because he's not from that wings that's been calling for the original constitution . he's 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's so even though they have the super majority in the upper house, 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 pacifist constitution, which will strengthen the military role on the global stage. prime minister, familiar casita hasn't said how much this increase will cost, but at the moment, japan spends one percent of its g d, p on defense. but
9:43 pm
a financial road map passed by parliament last month, hinted. it could double this amount because she did promise to provide at least $2000000000.00 a maritime equipment to indo pacific countries. japan's constitution was drafted off the 2nd world war and doesn't allow its defense forces to deploy abroad. but legislation passed in 2015 allows its forces to support allies in foreign conflicts or broad gulf. the man is the deputy director of the center for rule making strategies at tama university in tokyo. he says japan is looking to raise its 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 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 with the united states is pressed its allies, particularly in europe. japan is recognized at one percent limit that it's adopted
9:44 pm
as always been policy not right. not, not necessarily a lot of that stopped 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 to a 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 in consider amendment. but what specific amendments are still all lot left to be done? the world population is growing, but at its lowest pace and 70 years you and global forecast says the number of people on our planet should have 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 in just 8 countries, the democratic republic of congo, egypt, ethiopia, and nigeria, pakistan,
9:45 pm
the philippines, tanzania, and india, 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 only 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 our 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, it's below 1.5,
9:46 pm
even below 1.3 and below 1 point one in 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 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 just, 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 living conditions for those elderly people. what will that be like and will that, will there be adequate social protections to ensure that this growing population of
9:47 pm
older people is not impoverished? according to you and report africa is projected to account for more than half of the wells population growth by 2050. and the western sale is forecast to be one of the fastest growing regions. that's an area that includes molly became a fast, so nish air and chad is also one of the most vulnerable areas to climate change. more than half the population, there is under 18. many children growing up with limited access education and health care un says more than 30000000 people in western so hell don't have enough to eat. and that's driving conflicts as groups compete for increasingly scarce resources. kathleen mobil guard is president and ceo of the population institute. she says this a hell region is facing a number of intersecting challenges. 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
9:48 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. the 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. 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
9:49 pm
that creates immense challenges for sustainable development 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. now, one of india's oldest tigers, affectionately known as roger, has died, age 25. the royal bengal tiger who roam the thunder bombs. forrest was taken to a rescue center and westman goal in 2008 after a crocodile attack. despite his injuries, he lived a longer life the most of his breed, which has an average lifespan of 16 years in captivity. india was home to an estimated 40000 tigers last century, but that numbers of now dwindled to less than 3000. in recent years. the man behind

9:53 pm
many people as well traveling around the world, you know, some unpleasant situations as well that so that, that keep on, you know, repeating the same movie that they kind of was part of, unfortunately in australia. and that has cost called the turbulence inside of me, and then i just needed time to weather the storm are given is challenging. starts of the year. we asked john was i'm from the tennis channel where this victory ranks among among junk fetches. 21 grand some titles. i think it has to be up there for the reason. he said one this event last year and since then he lost the finals of the us open. so his bid for the grand slam was warded australia was a complete debacle at the french open. he lost a rock, the dolls and rival in the meantime to doll went from 20 majors to 22. so no back sort of needed this event even for a historically generationally great player. i think it was a very,
9:54 pm
very important victory. here's someone at the threshold of history. and if they had one jab, billions of people worldwide have gotten in the last 18 months. this wouldn't be an issue, but yes, he is that, you know, he's sort of said my, my body by choice, but i don't want to put this in my body. and as it stands now, he won't appear to the other major until the french open last weekend. of may 2023 . he will be 36 years old by then. and it's, you know, we, we saw with wimbleton, he's able to recover despite missing big chunk of time. but it's just extraordinary that an athlete on the threshold of history is making a choice not to compete. despite his when junk of it flips whole places to well, number 7 off the both the men's and women's tools decided not to ward ranking points, wimbledon this year. after the all england club band, russian and bell russian players following the invasion of ukraine for raja federal who hasn't played on tools has been broken last year because of an injury and new ranking. there was news,
