9:06 pm
particularly because of the sites and the twisting around us. now there's no real way to actually tacker this issue without making building central to us than the ways in which we can do that. of both active measure and passive measures. so the type that in, in a few was active measures is when we use energy intensive mechanisms to be able to provide you with that condition. but actually these are not great because we use a lot of energy, which is. ringback the other way to do it is passive measure measure. so for instance, detecting buildings from heat using paint like shading, having materials that actually don't let heat enter the building. so having later building having better reflectance. so having room wall that had high reflectance when the heat hit, it bounces on, having water bodies of agitation that absorb the heat and doesn't let it enter the
9:07 pm
building. these are all the ways and there are many more actually in which the environment can help protect people from extreme heat. a cargo plane carrying weapons has crashed in northern greece, killing all 8 crew members. greek authority states was traveling from serbia to bangladesh by a jordan, but nearly a 3rd of the way into the flight. the aircraft made a sharp you turn before crushing the greek city of canada. especially as the greek army investigators are now on site to determine whether any dangerous materials are left in the wreckage. famous radi reports. eye witnesses describe a plane on fire lighting up the night sky. the crash of an ant enough cargo plane, tearing through an open field. there was put their name to say and was just beat them up. i wonder how it didn't fall in our houses because it came from over there . it was full of smoke. it had a noise i can describe and went over the mountain. it passed mountain and turned and crashed into the fields. there were flames. we were scared, a lot of cars came,

9:09 pm
instability of the field was observed in other words and to smoke in the heat, as well as a white substance that we do not recognize. so a special armed forces team has to inform us of what it is and whether we can enter the field or the flight was operated by meridian or ukraine based cargo carrier. it originated in serbia, the country's defense ministry confirming the cargo of unit bullet is naesha. you chose, the claim was carrying 11 half tons of products of our arms trade for the end buyer in bangladesh. the buyer was the bangladesh ministry of defense. as a fully permitted end user and by the flight route was nice with technical landings in man red med bad and was planned to land in dhaka as the final destination. moments before the plane went down, the pilot radioed about a problem with one of the engines requesting an emergency landing, but unable to make it to the nearest airport. the journey ending in

9:15 pm
the rad lab implications. big guards, not just economic, but even foreign policy. why? because enron con registered russia, that was not seen where i bought a position. what concern? and i've got jim ron was saying that he was our big god of radio. russia from where he wanted to buy a cheap wheat and oil, which even india is doing. so. indeed, huge foreign policy implication the chinese watching this. they really saw the bucket on slipping into some sort of cold water scenario. so ron cons victory, end up on job really mean that you really now have the provincial government of the high book, while province read, he's already in a strong position. and this is of cause also a voice of the country's voice fall for the province that you mentioned when the people of the fun jobs speak. then everybody listen so engaged at big wakefield for embrun con. i'll add their time or induct unpaid on the watch of financial collapse

9:17 pm
a huge come back. but also we have to understand that the ministry of the province still call what in legally ignored to have mandated he had bribed. according to iran, hans bar to the former pockets on the day you can solve them wrong and party members . and so all that played in today said the people were also not happy because job by showed a boy shane to be buckling under pressure of the i met by embodying support tags on the industry. on february the economic fed. so indeed, all that played into a bron honda victory hair and focused on a province of the part and job. okay, come hide a live in the whole forest there. thank you very much indeed. i'll try to more ahead her on the news i india's van on at summer single use. plastics is causing controversy as people try to adapt protests as are back on the streets of sudan to demand and return to civilian rule. oh,

9:26 pm
of the don bus, which of course became their main military focus after they failed to capture keith . in the early days of the war, they are reinforcing they are, we are told that their rece applying the troops that they get ready for a final push in that area to try and take over dumbass. meanwhile, in the south, the russians are fortifying the positions improving their security because the the ukrainians have said that they will assemble a 1000000 man army to take back territory in the side. that is perhaps more aspirational than practical, but it certainly shows the ukrainian intent. and certainly over the last few hours, we've heard reports of ukrainian attack on carson, which they claimed, killed $36.00 russians and destroyed a number of russian ammunition dumped. the russian defense minister says that the russians will start increasing military pressure, that they will go in the areas that they need to go ask for president zalinski here in ukraine. he believes that as an indication from the russians that they will continue to target civilian areas,
9:27 pm
saying that that's exactly what they've done over the last few weeks. of course you remember there was a significant rocket attack on friday at the ukrainians were saying that it was a residential block in a factory that was hit that killed so many people at but the rush and say what we were actually targeting a meeting of the ukrainian navy high command. what's important to remember is that it's now been 20 weeks and since the war began, and in that time people continue to be killed was to the head hair on out there. the core of a tree is something like a book. it tells the story, not just of the tree, but of the whole area, and the last hundreds of years meets the great grandfather tree in chile, that may be the oldest living thing on a search for justice. why crimes, old and new going unpunished in lebanon bus and sports her moments to forget for chelsea. thank you,

9:31 pm
here we go. is there a reminder about top stories now? southern europe is in the grip of a devastating summer heat wave, which is spot wildfires and there to hundreds of heat related deaths. to fires in southern france have forced the evacuation of 14000 people. a cargo plane carrying weapons is crushed in northern greece, killing all 8 crew members. the aircraft was traveling from serbia to bangladesh. the pilots had reported the requested an emergency landing due to an engine problem, but was unable to reach the runway. the party of pakistan's, former prime minister in ron con, has dominated a mutual client actions in the countries most powerful province at the results have cons. pizza party winning most of the 20 seats up for grabs in jobs. now, u. s. present, joe biden concluded his 4 day middle east trip on saturday, if it was aimed at reasserting washington's influence in the region. while biden's
9:32 pm
key aim was to lower oil prices at home, he also signed various agreements around clean energy. corporation framework was negotiated with saudi arabia to develop 5 g 6. g technologies is designed to compete with the chinese company way. but they, she remains the largest investor in the middle east. it is so far pumped more than $123000000000.00 into the region as part of its belt and road initiative that includes vesting, and key ports. we add is the largest buyer of us weapons. earlier this year, china met, found the officials to discuss selling its military equipment to the kingdom. well, let's get more in this with phyllis bennett. sees a fellow at the institute for policy studies, think tank, and joins us from washington. d. c. thanks for being with us. here on the program, to what extent that was jo bivens trip, not just about oil,
9:33 pm
but very much about america's considerable concern about china's influence. well, i think there's no doubt that the district was involving a host of different reasons and rationale. one of them certainly was about consolidating the u. s. domination of the region that has gone on for a long time, both strategic slash military and economic. and in that context, competition with china is, is a key component. it's, it's not only the specifics of the belt road initiative, it's the broad question of whether the u. s. will continue to be the dominant global power operating across the middle east. and in that context, the issue of u. s. military power emerges as the critical factor because while the u. s. and china are competing with each other, they are what the u. s. calls near peer competitors on the question of the military side, b, u. s. is really unchallenged strategically. so the question of arm sales,
9:34 pm
the question of building up the anti iran coalition, the role of the u. s. and bringing together saudi arabia and israel to be the linchpin of this u. s. backed anti iran coalition. all of these things are routed in the competition with china, even though that competition in the middle east is predominantly economic and not strategic. but it's in the strategic realm that u. s. power is so much stronger, so that's where it emerged. we should be very clear, you know, china spends less than a 3rd of what the us spends on its military budget. so there's no competition there . but there is serious competition. one way is one part of it. there are other parts as well, but that's what the us brings to the table is it's military power, which china cannot and hopefully it's not going to try to compete with in the middle eats. and how important is technology when you consider things like virtual
9:35 pm
reality is here on the fund space, exploration politically. how important is that kind of technology? i think they are very important for the saudis, for one reason, which is that the, the, the operative leader of saudi arabia, the prince embry ask the crown prince, who is among other things responsible for the killing of jamal cash o g a is very committed to emerging with the illusion of bringing saudi arabia into the 21st century is 2030 planned for by 2030. he will have diversified, the economy avoided the problem of dependency on the oil, export, et cetera. but the reality is, this is in the view of many, i think, many saudis, among them, this is not, it's not real. you know, this is about maintaining control in a certain way, but bringing about a greater level of integration of the saudi economy into the world economy through
9:36 pm
technology and through some of this kind of artificial intelligence, et cetera. where there can be those kinds of relations, particularly with china, but it's really in the arena of arms purchases that saudi influence, economically outside of the oil arena, becomes far more far more strategic. we should know that it's not only in terms of its relations with china in this context. the saudi economic relations with russia are increasing as well. and i've just learned it's been out for a while, that saudi has actually double the amount of russian oil that it is importing from russia. because russia has, has dropped its prices so much because of the u. s. embargo, it's selling oil to saudi arabia and saudi arabia is now doubling the amount of oil it's buying from russia at those cheap prices, so that it can use its own oil to sell on the global market have much higher prices . so it's really a double game that's being played here between saudi arabia and russia on the one,
9:37 pm
saudi arabia on and china, and saudi arabia and the, the united states. what's not involved in any of those discussions is the question of human rights. not only the, the killing the murder of jamal county, but the consequences of the war in yemen. the other human rights violations, internal to saudi arabia. all of these things are simply being ignored in this context. and i think that the, it focus on the symbolism, the fist bond between president i'm and the crown prince is to us, is important to expose the hypocrisy of that for a president, the claims that human rights is supposed to be the centerpiece of his foreign policy. but at the same time, it's just, it's diverting somewhat be attention from what saudi arabia is actually doing. and what president ivan was not doing in those talks. it's good that he said to the crown prince, i hold you responsible for the murder. the crown prince allegedly said,
9:38 pm
i didn't. i wasn't responsible. and president biden came back and said, well, i think you are, that's fine, but then they left it behind. and there's no consequence. so that's a huge problem with what human rights means and does not mean in the context of this broader economic and strategic relationship that the by the administration is trying to build. nice, okay. okay, we have to leave it there for the 7 us in from the institute for policy studies. thank you very much. need for your insights here today. thank or sunday is world day for international justice. aims to highlight the fight against impunity and the rights of victims is the cause that activists in lebanon have been pursuing for decades and say, no reports from beirut. lebanon has never really moved on from its 15 year civil war. 3 decades later, society is as divided, and former warlords are still in politics. a general amnesty has left crimes
9:39 pm
unpunished. while the families of an estimated 17000 people missing are still waiting for answers. the lack of accountability have the polluted causes that wed never address. at the end of the war, people will continue to find them. so victims of the car up and i'm just system until that system is up with the entire leads. it's a system that suspended the investigation into one of the biggest blasts in history caused by a stockpile of ammonium. nitrate at bay will support 2 years on political interference has ensured no officials have been convicted for them more than 200 lives. last justice has yet to be served. among them, 3 year old alexandra. we will not get justice lebanon. it's impossible. giving the history of you know, everything that has happened to register. there was
9:40 pm

9:45 pm
left with it. you get home surely, and it makes me very sad. why did this happen? this was a part of our country's historic scenery. slaton. others have travelled even further up the rosset pool money amelia worker from cannot province. and 10 of his friends drove 11 hours. and then with the army, when i saw the people of dameion up close, i saw how hospitable they were. they were very friendly. from the work but the main attraction of the band, me national park. one of my friend was the living again, the son. and they told me that once i have to see that, i mean, i'm in proven provincial authorities estimate more than 50000 people have visited by me on, in the week since the holiday. him all have the look was you couldn't the last what we want to improve amenities for our visitors, for instance, the road to hotels and shops in the area as a live litchell's, transportation and 1st aid services. but not every one is benefiting the head has

safe going home and then international intercourse and excellence award bought now for your hero. ah. ah, scientists in chile you say they've discovered what could be the oldest living thing on earth. the cypress tree in the potter go, yeah, nicknamed great grandfather is estimated to be more than 5000 years old. or latin america editor. this gentleman reports from the last longest region, injury it's winter, inserting chile home to the
9:49 pm
a legacy or patagonia in cyprus, one of the world to oldest proven tree species. that's where we meet up with environmental scientists, jonathan buddy chie beach from the university of paris. in the alliance in national park, a unique, temperate rain forest. he actually grew up here when his grandfather was a park ranger. he was the one who discovered a new challenger to the world's oldest recorded non colonial tree. a 4853 year old bristle comp pine in california. but each of each is taking us to meet great grandfather, the nickname of the legacy he estimates is almost 5500 years old. that but 1st he demonstrates the traditional method for determining the age of trees or using a special drill or increment core to remove a 5 millimeter sample, the length of the trees radius here. if you got a cor, well, you can see it rings as like a barcode days, then you're drawn for me to, to,
9:50 pm
to numbers. then with these numbers, we build models of how the tree growth. i'm like satellite data that goes back no more than 40 years. trees reveal earth's environment as far back as pre historic times. but each of each argues that the past can be used to predict future climate change more accurately. the core of a tree is something like a book, it tells the story, not just of the tree, but of the whole area and the last decades, hundreds of years or thousands of years to read it. you can look at the rings. these, for example, show that it was a plentiful year, they're very separated, so it means there was a lot of rain. the ones that are much closer indicates that those years were of drought. and over here, you see the scar of the tree. this means that there was a fire, but dental chronologist antonio ladder, who recorded a 3620 year old alleged sick 30 years ago,
9:51 pm
says indiscriminate tourism is endangering the survival of these trees. whose roots are already dangerously exposed from erosion. this is the younger alissa tree, and it was some one that we don't know who a couple of weeks ago came. and you can see here like within my share to your somebody they that took out the bark. we don't know why because this is pure vandalism. as a result of the park is now temporarily close to the public. let the forestry service made an exception to allow us to see great grandfather for ourselves. perched deep in an isolated ravine, it's an imposing majestic sight to behold. from its 4 meter wide trunk to 2 enormous exposed roots, the longest instrument available isn't long enough to reach the trees center to determine its age with the traditional method. so, but each of each has devised
9:52 pm
a mathematical model to fill in the gaps. but some dental chronologist aren't yet convinced. i think that it's a bit higher without having actual ring counts of the tree is that we cannot really say a bit. it's definitely the older stage. we can of course, said that it is amongst the oldest she is in the world. but each of each will be publishing a paper later this year, defending his theory. the great grandfather is indeed 5484 years old. but i'm not worried because this is science for the planet. is science that make us to act on time to protect what is left of a planet that was once completely wild, eager. you, if you insist the challenge is to use ancient trees to improve climate models, to determine how forests might adapt to our changing conditions. the same forests on which the future of humanity also depends. lucy, in human al jazeera,
