to lincoln's are shocked as the acting president imposes another stage of emergency at midnight. ah, i know about this, and this is how to save a life from doe hob, also coming up. soaring heaps, triggers, devastating wildfires in europe. parts of the u. k. are bracing for the hottest day on record. it claims president fire despite chief and a top prosecutor accusing their staff of collaborating with russia. yes. the party of pakistan's ice did prime minister even on con windsor crucial bi election. it's seen as a test of his political survival. ah, sure. because interim presidents, i know what comma sing it has imposed a state of emergency in an effort to ward off protests and had of the election of

a new leader. things are quiet for not in the capitol colombo parliaments, in the process of choosing a new president. also gotta buy a raj, epoxy resigned, and fled the country last week. the government issued a number of emergency declarations since april 1 protest started over the worst economic crisis in decades. some demonstrate to say their demands for running we're promising to leave office are being ignored. the people who want to bring their people friendly, gama unable to king these to go to college, and they want to change the system. they wanna make counseling health system. and with this school on the birth and gama, be don't paying reagan activity scores when else fernandez is joining his not for the capital colombo. so what has been the reaction to this a state of emergency that's been brought in

so fights pretty much a sort of a wait and see. as we heard in recent days, a lot of the protesters had taken a bit of a break. if you like. after those, a crazy protest scenes that we saw here outside the presidential secretariat outside the president's residents and outside parliament. so now with these emergency regulations being brought in on me at midnight on sunday, people are wondering what implications they are there are going to be in the purchase as have said across the boards that they are here for the long haul. yes, present gotta be roger boxer has resigned, but they are essentially campaigning for an end to the old guard, a clean sweep of the boards, and that includes acting president, rhonda vicar missing her, who obviously we're hearing is also a contender for that election as president on wednesday in terms of the actual

processor linelle the but they're going through just talk through briefly for the what the, the actual sort of political element to this is how to be go through this vote on on wednesday. hey, so basically according to the constitution, the requirements are once the president resigns, or steps down or within 3 days parliament must convened as an official announcement made to the house that the president has resigned. and indeed that there is a vote vacancy for the post to president. now that we saw happening, basically on saturday, the 16th and the next phase is on the 19th that sir, on tuesday nominations for the post of president must be formally handed over in parliament. that is to the secretary general, if not the speaker, because obviously the speaker also holds a seat and has

a vote. so that happens or right now we're hearing that there are 4 contenders, including the acting present, run, a vicar missing her. the opposition leaders such as premier garza or we have under kumato dis, annika from the j v p, and also dallas, alabama, a former minister. now all of these, oh would basically be throwing that hat in the ring for that secret ballot on wednesday. what happens is that a b, the $225.00 members of parliament are the ones would decide on the president. and a lot of the protesters actually have been having some sort of demonstrations and things like that from yesterday. urging the parliamentarians to remember that they should be voting in keeping with what the people who put them in those seats won't not according to their own sort of benefits and decisions. so basically those $225.00 empties will then vote within the parliament on on wednesday,

and decide who to appoint as president. and that individual who is elected will be made president and served the remainder of the current presidential term, which is a little over 2 years now. thank you very much. indeed. michelle fernandez, talking to us from colombo, france is on its highest state of alert for extreme temperatures in more than a dozen locations. as a heat wave envelops large parts of south west europe firefighters are trying to contain to large wildfires. the city about dough being burning for almost a week, tearing through more than a 100 square kilometers of land. thousands of people have been forced to evacuate. and more than $35.00 burning across spain. thousands of people to be forced to flee their homes, especially in southern regions. the country has been experiencing a week long heat wave with highs of nearly 46 degrees. the heat also being blamed for hundreds of death. well,

it's going to get really hot in the u. k. over the next couple of days, people are being wandered, record heat waves could kill hundreds of people. nothing baba reports from london. for britain, it's a step into the unknown weather expert to putting the chance of temperatures reaching 40 celsius at 50 percent. it's never happened and it's prompted a red health warning for much of england on monday and tuesday, with the national health service warning of delayed operations and increased demands on ambulances. the government says it is taking the threat seriously. where there is a public guidance is out there. i mean, the common sense style ritual us on cream. make sure you constantly re hydrating the out of solid peak times. i got temperature sitting 40 degrees. i think it was the out the sun that me day when, when, when, when that's happening, despite seems like this, experts say the extreme heat over the coming days could be deadly even for healthy people. this isn't like her a lovely hot day where we can put a bit of sunscreen on and go out and enjoy, you know, swim in

a meal outside. this is seriously that could actually ultimately ending in peyton's desk because he sounds ferocious and we're just not set up for that. so age in this country. climate change has been driving extreme temperatures for decades, and the heats killing more and more people here in england in the summer of 2020 more than 2 and a half 1000 excess deaths were attributed to heat waves, and they've only become more intense and more frequent since then, the british red cross predicts that the annual heat waves death toll could have tripled by the middle of this century. the you case meteorological of his says, climate change is greatly increased the chance of such heat waves here. and so in to say, a continued use of fossil fuels means we're already seeing what was previously projected for 2050. we're still increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which means global temperatures are increasing. and this means that this is probably something that will the aaron's be cool,

heat life in 3 decades to come. the one thing might also be to change that conversation, that actually it's not that it's a question about life and death and not yes. on the global south, but also farm citizens in the you can train operators a warning of delays and cancellations because of the heat there, urging people only to make essential journeys with no legal, maximum temperature for working. the government saying it hopes employers will be flexible. the next few days could offer a glimpse of how well or how badly prepared this country is for a hot future. nadine bob al jazeera london, ukraine's president laconia zalinski is sacked, 2 of his more senior law enforcement officials, over hundreds of cases of alleged treason and collaboration with russia of more. let's bring an alan fisher and keep alamos, the background to all of us. well this is

a real surprise because even though president zalinski cabinet was essentially revolving door before the war, he's hardly made any changes since the war began in the middle of february. but during last night's television address, he said that the chief prosecutor irene of in natick tova and also ivan baller cove who is his head of internal security. we're both being fired, being replaced now back into of as, as perhaps the biggest surprise because he was a childhood friend of the presence, the 2 of them were involved in the acting community member present. so as he is to be an actor, well, i can of it was a director who was in a theatre company with him. and when he was appointed head of the internal security, it was a bit of a surprise because he had no background and intelligence whatsoever. and when i, when i cast and fell in the early stages of the war, at many people felt that that was a sign that he was perhaps out of his debt. well, now that he's gone, it's likely that he'll be replaced with a much more experienced hand. no. oh,

what the president said is that they were investigating 651 cases of treason and 60 in the occupied territories where people were actively working for russia. now there's no suggestion that either the chief prosecutor or the head of internal security were involved in what could be considered treason or anything like that. this is simply the president holding these 2 for a failure of accountability and affiliate of management in their organizations. and we're expecting a backing of to be replaced probably by the end of the day now. and this is all happening. of course, we're the backdrop of bay, the ongoing bombardment, the ukraine has been facing the fighting between the 2. the 2 countries i believe the present has been talking about that what was been happening while the president said that a little estimation, the russians had filed $3000.00 cruise muscles in t, internal traits since the start of the war. he said,

if you take in other rockets and artillery shells and other ordinance, you simply can't begin to count that. and, and that comes as, as deb meadowdale, who used to be the president and russia debbie commit video, who is know, the deputy head of the security council said that if the ukrainians tried to attack crimea and tried to retake it, they would be facing doomsday. well, the president, in his address on sunday night, he said that they would not be intimidated. and those who are responsible for war crimes would still be held to account. but all of this comes as a united nations organisation puts a figure on the number of people have been killed. the number of civilians have been killed. according to them, 5020 have been killed. and all those 300 children. and that 6520 people injured of those 400 children. they have to remember that we are now entering the 21st week of the war here in ukraine. allen, thank you very much indeed honor fisher talking to us from keith. still ahead on al

jazeera and investigation into a school sitting in texas, find systemic failures in the police response on a contender for the world's oldest organism in a forest of ancient trees under threat from tourism. ah hell i they reco, breaking hate continued across a good part of sudden em western europe still continues to pump up that very warm air across the western pass off the continent. this area of low pressure has not too far away from spain and portugal dragging that heat further north was now high as nudging little further east was. so it's opened the door for that hate to start sliding across france. 40 celsius there in bordeaux on monday afternoon. 37 for paris, up to 36 in london, come tuesday, could get up to 37 in london,

may been hearing about a possibility of a 40 while that is still on the cards somewhere between london and lincoln, that eastern side of england seeing the very very high temperatures, thankfully come wednesday, something a little cooler and fresh comes through in the form of a thunder re breakdown. so there's that he is that try where the lesson cool, where the further raised 1920 celsius. just around lapierre, lithuania pushing over to water mos go. see that where to where the continuing here . some sherry right? for most it is dry and $537.00. so she can see the se, li, when best the hot wind is kind of pushing across that eastern side of english. but here comes that sherry break down the cooler air making its way across the irish sea. by the time we come to wednesday, ah frank assessments, it sounds like you don't expect anything to change the problem in lebanon. it's

actually struck lebanon needs and use of contract in order for it to solve this problem. informed opinions, international communities on the go with my students, you can use a government has knowledge to dc in depth analysis of the days global headlines. this is going to be very hard for people to explain to the public that instead of pushing back, you know, it's actually got 2 members. inside story on al jazeera lou . ah, we want to go to 0, mind over told stories this, our protest is coming out and shall anchors capital off to the interim president. imposed on nationwide state of emergency brought a little comma sing, a cited the need to uphold public order ahead of parliament's election of

a new leader. france is on his highest state of a large but extreme temperatures in more than a dozen places. as a heat wave envelops large parts of south western europe, firefighters are trying to contain 2 large wildfires near the city of bobo. the greatest president of luxury as the landscape is sacked as prosecutor general on the states. intelligence chief president says, 60 officials from the agencies are working against you, praying in the russian occupied areas. a funeral is being held for a 4 year old ukrainian girl killed in a russian missile strike. she was among 23 people, killed an attack on the city of venetia on thursday. she had done syndrome images of our body next to a baby stroller went viral and social media. her mother was severely injured and the strike on doctors haven't told her about her daughter saying they feared the news would kill her. the body of pakistan's former primary. so emerson con is

dominating regional by elections in the region with the biggest population is supporters have been celebrating after alley results showed cons, pci party as one most of the 20 seats up for grabs in punjab province. the results could have national implications. prime minister shabba shabby muslim league holds on not a majority in the provincial assembly. i'll hide is joining us now from la hor, on a broader sense. what does this mean for a moron? cons political future? well in many ways did come back border ham and thank god edward, in 8th grade. and he went out jade by board of no confidence after a multi party lying on a single agenda to get rid of them. ron font government, he did an unheeding him after that day was also a move within this particular province to try to buy the loyalty of him. ron,

pon the board does the switch and neeagin's don't a lot, but then disqualified. and that's why the bi election was headed story did indeed, a huge come bag for him. ron con, the budget on muslim league now was which was one of the contain debt domain contented and did selection. again, demeron con addict kept it b. he had $115.00 out of the brain defeat or going to the budget on muslim league. no. was and want to an independent goal. it had implications for the government and it somehow bought big god day will now be a growing demand and embrun fond at already tweet gate. that the only way out of this political a bought in order to have white the political uncertainty, that election might be ahead as soon as possible. is there any possibility? do you think that we would see him, ron con, returning to the center stage in pakistan's politics? or is this more about the success that his party is c?

he's definitely dead dying to come back and made paid politics despite the fact that you would object by dashboard of no conflict. and he alleged that did go to the affordability because he went to a dollar to make keys for oil cheap. we'd from russia and he was funded by the elbow division that did for who gets paid from outside august on. so he'd been settling negative and that people are listening other country right now. they great both naturalistic bo, if you may call it dad and know him, ron khan has made a huge come back. and you cannot rule out what inability that he may become the prime minister again, a free and fair election park a perform address. i did that done and the point job you can see the provincial

assembly back in me. i did a bunch of government and i've got on the 22nd of this month and the budget on that he can solve will be calling a session in order to jude the new chief minute. come all. thank you very much indeed. come on how to bring this up to date from the hor, a dummy report in to the police response to a school shooting in texas says officers prioritized their own safety over the lives of children and stuff. this is newly released police body come footage recorded during the attack, rob elementary school, and evolve. nearly $400.00 officers rushed to the scene of may 24th, but didn't do anything for more than an hour. the shooter killed 19 students and 2 teachers before he was confronted by police and shot dead. my counter reports if there's only one thing that i can tell you is there were multiple systemic failures . the 3 members of the bipartisan texas house committee held

a news conference to discuss the report. it comes just a few days after this new security camera footage was released. the sounds of the children screaming on edit the doubt. but it shows local police arriving 3 minutes after the shooting started. if you approach the classroom door, but then retreat back down the corridor, all of the shots are fired. the report is adamant that during this time offices that the federal or state level should have taken over control from the school police chief, him, peter redondo, who was supposedly in charge at the school today to redondo has taken much of the blame, but sundays reports his responsibility for the lack of action should be shared by some of the 376 law enforcement officers who had arrived, as well as their superiors at a command level. at a minimum there was multiple opportunities depending on the relative training and experience of law enforcement officers to at least ask more questions or offer

their guidance to try to remedy the chaotic situation and make sure there was effective overall command. there was a lack of effective overall command the report also found the school safety protocols will fall short. numerous doors were left unlocked, which allowed the gunman easy access to the classrooms in a wider context. the legislators also found that these issues were not unique to the russ elementary school, where the shooting happened. that protocols not observed, created a dangerous sense, awful, security. let me tell you the people of you value before this. they felt it couldn't happen here. they felt that that's the fault sense of security. i worry about. i think some of the same systems that we found here that failed that day or across the entire state and country. the report is dedicated to the $21.00 victims

of the shooting and was given to family and friends at a meeting an hour before its public relief. the report that go home the tragic facts that law enforcement officials waited for some 75 minutes. while gunfire continued before, a group of border patrol gods supplied orders on the scene and rushed in to kill the gunman. my kind of august era, washington guns open fire at a shopping mall in the state of indiana, killing 3 people. police in the city of greenwood, so the cotton was shot dead by a civilian attack that was armed with a rifle and several magazines of munition 2 people were injured. in the da for region of sudan, flash floods have killed at least 12 people, including 2 children. the us monetary and office. it says heavy rain started the costs on friday. more than 100 houses have been damaged in the 10000 people in the

country have been effected by heavy rain and flood since june. level gangs are battling for control of haiti's capital, putting hundreds of thousands of people at risk in a city where authorities are struggling to keep control b. u and says recent gang related violence is killed. at least 99 people in a single neighborhood called cities to life. and you end documented nearly a 1000 killings between january and june, almost 700 injuries and 680 kid nothings in puerto prance. recent weeks have been especially bad, more than 230 people were killed or injured over 5 days. up until july, the 12th. the real re, mas is head of luck. who lap it? it's a piece building organization that runs community projects for young haitians explains what people in cities, ally, and living through. there is an attempt by some parties are connected with for humanitarian relief, to discuss our with the gangs access to the hardest part of it is late.

however, it's not been, ah, not move, it is not been moving very fast. and issues are still on a battle fraud is still going on between the war again, this leg so of the people cannot get out. they cannot come in and relief is not. that is not available for the people inside. see this will a right now and now there's no water, there's no food and they not to get out. you have to go through. ah, both are battling games and no, it's not. that is not an option right now for the people in the area to lay in science and say the discovery contender for the oldest living organism on earth. it's a tree and potter go near the cypress is nicknamed great grandfather. it's estimate to be more than 5000 years old as part of

a project using trees to predict class changes in climate as our latin america editor, elissia newman reports from las vegas. it's winter inserting chile home to the a legacy or patagonia in cyprus. one of the world's 2 oldest proven tree species. that's where we meet up with environmental scientists, jonathan bonnie g beach from the university of paris in the unless in national park, a unique, temperate rain forest. he actually grew up here, when his grandfather was a par granger, he was the one who discovered a new challenger to the world's oldest recorded non colonial tree of 4853 year old bristle. com 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 by 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 drunk for me to, to, 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, says indiscriminate tourism is endangering the survival of these trees. whose roots are already dangerously exposed from erosion? this is the younger i lear said 3, 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 chevy or something like that, to go they bark. we don't know why, because this is pure vandalism, as a result of the park is now temporarily close to the public. but 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 its enormous exposed roots. the longest

instrument available isn't long enough to reach the trees center to determine it's age with the traditional method. so, but each of each has devised 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 drink counts of the tree is that we cannot really say that it's definitely the oldest is 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 our planet that was once completely wild with 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. do see in human al jazeera, last level for region chilly? dozens of german fishermen and women have put down their nets and taken up long wooden poles. in spite of a jousting, competition that takes place every 5 years on lakes town vogue a dates back 500 years, man and woman battle it out by knocking opponents off their boats. whoever's left standing takes on the trophy and the title of fisher king. ah, this is our disease, these are the top stories. protesters are coming on to the streets and shall anchors capital after the interim president imposed a nationwide state of m.
