a nationwide curfew after protest. a storm is office calling for his resignation. ah, hello robin, you're watching out there alive from dave. ha, also coming. joe biden, israeli leaders on his 1st presidential trip to the middle east. also the un says it's close to a deal that would restart great exports from ukrainian ports. and the former u. k. chancellor wishes sudak talks, the 1st round of the conservative party leadership race to replace the outgoing u. k prime minister or us johnson. ah, welcome to the playground begins for lanka where a nationwide curfew will ended around 30 minutes. following unprecedented demonstrations of the capital colombo, the countries in battle, leda got to buy a dodge a box on a sled country, an ordered prime minister run near la wicker. i'm

a senior to head act as his act in his stead, but protest as defined a state of emergency and stormed wicker, missing his office, demanding both to step down uneasily. in the face of a worsening economic crisis stopped vast. hon. i know people power will when these protestors are chanting, they celebrated a small moment of victory when they heard the president go to buy it. i just bought a flat. but soon after his early morning escape, the mood turned to anger. thousands of people march to the office of the man they fear could be a box, a successor. i knew we were missing a gun in the guy said he got crashed, outdoor guns upon or no, that's the plan he's. i'm awesome. i and please, i am not coming to be born. you can read any read on top in

response to prime minister declared a state of emergency saying he was now the acting president. security forces in front of his office fire tear gas at protesters. doesn't were injured. this teacher needed treatment after being hit on the hat. he travelled 150 kilometers to join the demonstrations, saying the government has ruined the education system. i mean, it's very complex. he's really in my country. we want when we want to be out numbered security forces fail to disperse the grout. a couple of members of security for it because with like the riot police are now being chased away from the prime minister's office. this is our rules attacked by their no change the way by the route. they're leaving. the protesters managed to break through the gates of the prime minister's office and

took over the building. their celebration did not last long. they went to the residence of the parliamentary speaker to make sure the prime minister would step down and were greeted by more t a gas. put us blame both project boxer and weaker. i'm a single footed dias. states re lanka is in bankrupt, hardly any fuel. and food shortages lanka, as a country. so it's, it's run by a few families for, for 7, be kids who are up country to be should be changed for at least these, these major issues you see as resolution should ensure that a new political, social age begins in sri lanka until then they have power to remain on the streets and keep a close eye on what parliament, which has the power to elect the new president. well, this site, incoming days steadfast and al jazeera, colombo wilson and as in columbia. and as she has the latest on relying because

leadership turmoil, and after tens d with a lot of stand off and clashes a tear gas gallo, a we've had a gas notification that basically says president got our beer. roger boxer has appointed prime minister runner vicar, missing her as acting president to discharge the duties and functions of the office of the president because he is unable to exercise these duties as he is away from the country. now that does not refer in any way to the resignation that everybody was expecting of present good harbor roger boxer on the 13th of july a. but this a gives ron victor missing her, essentially the authority that he has been appointed by the president. now the all party leaders did have a meeting and emergency meeting with the speaker of parliament earlier where all of them knew nanny mostly said that prime minister run over commencing her must step

down. in fact, they went as far as to tell the speaker that if he doesn't, that the president must ensure that he sac serrano vicar missing her before the president submits his resignation. so all of this seems to be very carefully choreographed or not exactly a sort of in keeping with what had been promised or indicated to the people to the speaker. but we've had a d, as i said, of clashes of tear gas. again, just her or this evening we had a sort of protesters outside parliament, a complete 3 for all people were running helter skelter, among dozens of tear gas canisters being fired into the crowd. people are being battened. oh baton, charge, a barricades being pushed down. so a lot of tension still and even the fact that run over grimacing has been given the authority. there are still

a lot of unhappy people as with the fact that he is assuming authority right now. joe buttons has arrived in israel on his 1st leg of his 1st visit to the middle east as he was president. he was greeted until he finds any prime minister, yala pete. but we'll also meet with palestinian leaders in the occupied west bank. now he's been a steadfast supporter of israel for decades and is expected to face questions about the killing of palestinian american gender. she read a book, actually, kimberley hancock husband the purpose of us president joe biden's trip to israel in saudi arabia is not entirely apparent. but just moments after landing in tel aviv biden made clear what he would not achieve to we'll discuss my continued support, even though i know it's not in the near term to state solution. that remains, in my view, the best way to insure the future, equal measure of freedom,

prosperity, democracy for israelis and palestinians like this admission is likely to enrage palestinians as biden, to set to meet with the head of the palestinian authority. mahmoud abbas on friday . palestinians are pushing for the u. s. to reopen its consulate in occupied east jerusalem limits settlement expansion, and press israel for accountability in the killing of al jazeera journalists, sharina abu ackley, who is a us citizen. such goals are a challenge with elections looming, future israeli leadership is uncertain on thursday. biden meets with caretaker prime minister ja la peed and conservative hardliner, former leader benjamin netanyahu, who may be plotting a comeback that makes the white house aim of improving israeli saudi security ties to counter chinese, russian. and iranian influence in the region,

much more difficult. without him to call the u. s. administration and it's president, want to visit the region with a motivation to create peace and stability. they should revise their foreign and regional policy with a look at public opinion across the region and changed their behavior according to the realities on the ground level. one on biden is a president under pressure and in need of a foreign policy when with low approval ratings, record high inflation and congressional elections in november biden's meeting with saudi leaders. later in the week, he hopes to convince them to pump more oil, to bring down record fuel prices in the united states, there is no relationship, but we'll biden seats to project american influence with his trip failure to accomplish any significant foreign policy achievements could backfire and underscore just the opposite. the declining presence and power in the middle east

of the united states. kimberly help hit al jazeera doha. oh, is there a senior political analyst mom? bushera has more biden's visit. without the united states support is right. could not exist is occupation of palestine could not go on. so the united states is complicit in the israeli occupation of palestine. the fact that biden is the 1st american president in recent memory that does not why does not spend political capital in order to advance the cause of peace. is a cause of alarm that his administration is not serious about walking its stock. i tell you something he's dragging his heels, but in reality he's walking jewish in donald trump's footsteps. because let's just take a brief look at what's happening and where he stands. the iranian nuclear view is

basically out. so yeah, yeah, is back in. and human rights is way down young, you know, if that's not remnant of trump, i don't know what is and of course israel is front and center and human rights are now not only on the question. so the question of egypt question is that it's not assigned question of a party. so really all in all, why a few radically by then speaks about certain values. in reality, he is following in terms footsteps. now you couldn't officials in the eastern hung region say russian troops have destroyed food warehouses in the area. moscow claimed full control of the hands last week. after intense fighting the footage on russian stake television shows what it says is the aftermath of ukrainian shilling in residential areas. russian forces have been focused on capturing all of the don bus region which encompasses the hands and dynette sk. the united nation says

progress has been made on a deal to secure the export of ukrainian grain, and it could go a long way to addressing the global food crisis. the agreement was made during talks this stumble and involves forming a coordination center to ensure the safety of supply routes. our diplomatic editor james base is at the united nations senior you an official, so they now have a very substantial technical agreement on how the grain deal would work on issues like inspections of the ships that would come in to odessa to get the grain out of ukraine on safety and security of the vessels and how they'd pass through the channel through the mind areas of the black sea. that's the technical agreement. but they've still got to get a final political agreement which would be signed in his stumble. despite that, the 2nd general of the u. n. is sounding positive in the world darkened by global praises to they. at last, we have a ray of hope, a ray of hope to ease human suffering and alleviate hunger it on the world's array

of hope to support developing countries and the most vulnerable people. a day of hope to bring immersion of much needed stability to the global foot system. could you see from this further diplomacy potentially to end the war? these demonstrated debt. the parties are able to ever constructive dialogue. and these is of course, very good news. but for peace, we still have a long way to go. if a deal is finally done, it's an important step in trying to alleviate the global food crisis. but un officials ward that could take many months with many ships having to transport the backlog of grain that is trapped in ukraine. the ripple effects of a crisis like this can take a very long time. now took 3 attempts, but the united nations security council agreed on tuesday to extend the authorization, the cross border,

a deliveries to people in syria though only for 6 months on friday, russia, vito, the resolution brought by western countries to extend the mandate by year a competing resolution but forward by russia seeking to extend the approval for 6 months was also voted down. but on tuesday, norway and ireland introduced what was described as a compromise solution again offering the 6 months approval. the u. s. the u. k. in france, abstained from the vote. now the aid is a lifeline for those in revel held areas and serious northwest, particularly the 1700000 people living in displacement camps. david miller banned as president of the international rescue committee. he says the short extension crates and certainty for those in desperate need be a further resolution. in 6 months time, they'll be reports by the secretary general of the un and by other un agencies. so it's creating bureaucracy. it's crazy uncertainty. and what the people of the northwest israel believable need is uncertainty. they are faced with quite

crippling economic conditions. we have international rescue committee teams on the ground were local. people recruited syrians working for the benefit, their own community, that not political, their independence, humanitarian workers. and they need to support the cross border aid of medical supplies, food et cetera. educational support is allowed to provide and it's an uncertainty that we could do without both still had here on out. there are rising food and fuel prices in the us push inflation to afford decade high. and very though there is going to be 5 me and farmers in can you say harvest under threat as 30 lines of supply from ukraine run out? ah, ah

hello, that will have a look at central america in a moment. the 1st in north america and cynthia thunderstorms, from the north west of mexico have pushed their way up into the 4 corners states. we are still seeing those one soon showers continue through the end of the week before the wet weather. we have to head to the southeast of the us places like florida, st flooding, downpours. we have got a risk of flash flooding here, and those storms are going to push out towards the east coast. by the time we get into friday a what we can for new york city and washington d. c. but for the south of this is all about the heat dominating across southern and most central air is pushing up into the northern plain, dangerous heat. in places here, by the time we get into friday, we will also see a rush of storms stretch across the mid west towards the great lakes that was moved to central america. we are going to be very wet weather effect western areas of mexico. thanks to a swirling system out to sea. by the time we get into friday, you can see those in han's showers. briscoe winds, as well as that system pulls its way towards the north west for the greater

antilles. more in the way of sunshine, sunshine and showers, for the lesser antilles. some heavy rain to come on friday, but much of that will be in costa rica. and panama was lots of sunshine for southern areas of mexico. ah. ready too often of canister is portrayed through the prism of war. but there were many of us thanks to the brave individuals who was their lives to protect it from destruction. an extraordinary film archives spun for decades, views forgotten. the countries modern history before but the real part for the ear of darkness on the 0. 0,

i look back there lisa hill, rob the reminder of our top stories. a nation wide view is in effect in sir lanka, after demonstrations of thousands of gathered at the offices of the prime minister, benito become a single demanding his records as a resignation. he's taken over as acting president that's got the biologic fled the country. j 5 is wrong to his ran on his 1st visit to the middle east as us president. he's promised to advance israel's regional integration, but we'll also meet palestinian leaders and the occupied west bank and the united nations as progress as we made on a deal to secure the export of ukrainian drain. it could go away to addressing the global food crisis decree, which was made during talk, this stumble and evolve,

holding a co ordination center to ensure the safety of supply routes. no inflation in the u. s. has reached a new 40 year high latest figures show consumer prices sold by 9 point one percent compared to last year with the cost of fuel housing and food all rising faster than the average income. my can reports now from washington d. c. o major disease was sharply down in early trading on wall street as the market digested, the monthly report hope. supper reduction in the inflation rate dashed at. the prices continue to rise groceries by 12.2 percent over the year. rent by 5.8 percent. car prices have increased by 11.4 percent. and in the largest increase, the cost of ed trouble has risen by 34 percent. all these, it could be to 2 american spending more as they emerged from the pandemic shut down

. i'm still and i never seen this back. i've been noticing household products have really shut up to the selling. i mean, honestly like things that was like 199 going out there like 6 bucks, you know things but you need it. good morning at a meeting of house republicans, it's made clear. these figures will be the cudgel to be to democrats, and then november election. new polling found that nearly 60 percent of americans say the federal government under democrats. one party rule is to blame for today's economic crisis. the related statistics came just up to president biden left on a trip to the mid east, but he's been quick to strike back in the statement saying that while the inflation reading is unacceptably high, it's also out of date, present, abide and says the data does not reflect the true impact of the decreases in gas prices over the last nearly 30 days. the price at the pump has dropped by some

$0.40 a gallon since mid june. the president also argues that the report does not reflect the drop in core inflation. a long term projection that excludes items, subject to volatile price changes like food and energy. some experts agree the data is confusing all eyes now in the federal reserve with the economists predicting that another increase in interest rates is inevitable. it's a double edged weapon, while designed to reduce inflation in the long term. in the short term, an interest type is likely to hewlett. my kind of just sierra washington told us group a is a professor of economics or the massachusetts institute of technology. he says as concerned that the situation could get worse. you fingers are very confusing right now. this is one of the most confusing set of conflicting economic indicators that we've seen a long time. we've got some find that the labor market is incredibly robust with

a large increase in hiring according to some surveys and a low unemployment rate. on the other hand, we have other concerns that are the economy is slowing down based on slow economic growth. so we don't really honestly know what's going on to be to be clear. one thing we do know is inflation is up. and the big question in everybody's mind is, is this going to become what's called entrenched is it can be constant something which is sort of a vicious fire or where people fear inflation. so they raise prices, which causes more inflation. um, and that's where the big debate is in economics is right now. if you have a spike inflation, it's really about just consumer household balance sheets. it's really just about the fact really in some sense, inflation at this point, it's almost more of a political concern. and economic concern, i think that we are in a situation, remember, prices did not go much at all during the pandemic individuals have a lot of extra money because of government support. so i think that based on the

real issue with inflation is really what it does to our, the politics of our country more than economics. but the one says the price of fertilizer has tripled in the past year while production has hopped. it's a knock on effect of russia's war in ukraine that both of major fertilizer exporters harbor tasa met some farmers and can years campbell county where harvest are and the threat l u n. g here is worried is a shortage effect lies in kenya. he says a bag that used to cost $20.00 is now around 60. that's too expensive for many farmers here. the going to go and hunger because there's nothing because there's no food in for the food there. there is no harvest in there in the gardens. so the are going to go hunger. there is oh there is going to be fine. ah, in this place, one of his neighbors, frederic we rudy,

is in trouble. his beans have failed. he says he couldn't afford fertilize. i knew certainly quote, i know glimmer i might have to give up on fleming. i mean, but it's something i've done all my life to the mail but it is not working with him . fertilizer which provides a new chines, needed to help crops grow is in short supply around the world. several african countries depend on imports, which before the war used to come from russia and ukraine. food for dodson is most at risk in developing nations, where many farmers may not have the financial resources to deal with the crisis. in some countries, some farmers are use a mormon your to narrow state crops. ah, but farm is here say using only money is not enough. the plants also need the potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen from fertilizers to grow bigger, faster, and to produce more food. prices of animal feet are also rising. sometimes there is government subsidized fertilizer, but it's in short supply vicious crisis where the surprise of that all my to use.

i don't have little eh, different 3. we don't know how long committed and this is the, this tuition oliver. he don't know, hollow jewelry. i just bring to god that the the shop and so that we come back to normal. it's frustrating for g here, who's been farming for 30 years. he's his working. the land has never been. this hod had him a tosser, al jazeera camper, county kenya. now in the united kingdom, conservative politicians have been voting for a replacement for prime minister boris johnson. the former chancellor richie soon act leads the 1st ballot, but the final winner won't be announced until september. that in barbara explains from london. 8 8 ah, a sing along opposite parliament with some cabinet members competing to replace the

prime minister, following must resignations within conservative ranks summer wandering, who's really running the country? yes, but inside the commons, forrest johnson insisted he believing with no regrets. i'm mister speaker, i'm also proud of the leadership that i have given and i will be leaving here. i will be meeting with my head held high. we have a new child's. lo accepted a job from the prime minister on wednesday afternoon and then told him to quit on thursday morning. ah, and the new education secretary, his studio ministers, have literally been giving the middle finger to the public. ah, it is truly the country's loss that they will only be in post for a few weeks. i cannot announce the result of the ballot held this

afternoon on wednesday. initial voting by conservative m p. 's narrowed. the field of would be leaders to 6 names are next prime minister, someone gaining momentum, is penny mordant, a trade minister, and former defense secretary, she's far from a household name, but tipters the party activists favorite with the next general election. all those opportunities and the vision that the british people had half leading european union will not be when we must win that election. i'm your best saw. i am the candidates, the labor earlier. but the newly appointed joncelyn deems a holy is eliminated, as well as form of foreign secretary jeremy hunt. the result of the final stage of voting among fewer than 200000 conservative members is expected by the 5th of september. so we're slightly closer to knowing who will be the next conservative party leader and hence prime minister. once we're down to the last 2 candidates,

it's up to the policy membership. most of them over the age of $55.00 to $30.00 than men, whoever they choose will face huge challenges, not only in reviving the policies fortunes, but in dealing with multiple crises. this winter. nadine bob out his era london. let's go over to the channel where hundreds of emergency workers in france are battling wildfires across the southwest. now the blazes spreading due to the hot and windy conditions about 27 square kilometers already have burned, but 6 water bama aircraft, a being used to dance the flames. now thousands of residents, centuries have been told to evacuate. parts of europe are experiencing a heat wave with temperatures reaching 40 degrees celsius in some areas. for testers, in haiti have blocked roads in the capital. puerto prince, the angry about a critical fuel shortage brought on by a crumbling economy and ramp and gang violence. now groups of motorcycle drive is blocked into sections importer, prince 2,

ships carrying imported fuel have been unable to unload and tankers are not delivering because of security concerns. so why would they got that every time they went to raise fuel prices? village, the scarcity, that's not true. this stock, there's no need to cause pain to people. they will not be able to do so. if they are determined to raise oil prices, we will fit the country on fire and they will all disappear in that probably last month. i am filling all the people to keep the gotta confirm tomorrow, and fully ambulances, the media and that caused the allowed police. we need to carry out the revolution of the country, cannot keep on a court in japan says former executives of japan's fukushima nuclear plant must pay $97000000000.00 in compensation for failing to prevent the disaster is thought to be the largest amount of compensation ever awarded in japan, 3 of the fukushima plants, nuclear reactors, went into meltdown after us in army and earthquake hit japan. in march of 2011,

tony chang has more from tokyo. wednesday's decision here, the tokyo district court does set an important precedent. the financial responsibility for the fukushima nuclear disaster flies not with the japanese government, with a tokyo electric power company. tapco. this decision is very complicated. the court has essentially ruled that a handful of former executives of tapco have to pay out $95000000000.00 us dollars in compensation. that enormous sum is clearly going to be appealed and appealed. are ongoing, already, with decisions yet to be made by the supreme court. furthermore, this case was brought by shareholders of tapco not by the video individuals involved in the disaster. and so a decade on those he lost their land and livelihood in the folk. ashima disaster still waiting to be fully compensated. ah.
