these young men and women represent the diversity of the rock to be able to hear music. i'm at the ruins of muscles, old city, feel strange. but it brings home the resilience of presidents who say that despite the destruction and lack of help, they remain committed to bringing the city back to life. ah, ah, mm. al jazeera, with

your grains president fires the spy chief, and the top prosecutor accusing the staff of collaborating with russia. ah, i'm robot this, and this is all just going to live from doha. also coming up a protest on the streets of sher lanka is the acting president imposes another stage of emergency soaring heats, triggers, devastating wildfires in europe. parts of the u. k. are bracing for the hottest day on wreck old o. bouncing back the body of pakistan's eyes did climbing. ron con women's occlusal bi election. the grains president let him as the lens gains sacked 2 of his most senior law enforcement figures over hundreds of cases of alleged treason and collaboration

with russia shaped prosecutor and renew at a venue benedict's of a has been investigating war crimes. even bohannon was head of ukraine's powerful intelligence agency. the president says 60 officials from their agencies are working against ukraine of a more let's bring in alan fisher and keith allen. what's the background to all of us? well, before the war of vladimir zalinski cabinet, there is almost like a virtual revolving door. there were so many changes, but since the war there has been a real stability. so this is a real surprise that he announced on his website that these 2 senior officials were to depart. and the big surprise is ivan, back in of who's the head of the internal security service, the s b, you know, he was a surprise appointment, but he's a lifelong friend of the president's. they grew up together. they what together in the entertainment industry, and they would also and business together, but he has got no background and intelligence said, that is why that was

a big surprise. and sadly, when the tone of captain fell at the beginning of the war, many people pointed at him and said this was an intelligence failure on his part. while the president last night and i said there were 651 cases of treason being investigated in the 2 officials departments. and because of that, he decided that they must leave their post. no, it's got to be said officials here and keep saying there is no suggestion that either of these officials were involved in working with the russians. this is more a question of accountability for the people and their department, and that is why they must school know there's likely to be a intelligent chief appointed by some point at the end of the day. and we already have a replacement for the prosecutor general allen. of course, this is all happening as the fighting is still going on. i been the stand, the president's been talking about that as well. what you been saying? swelled in his nightly address on sunday. he said that according to the ukrainians,

the russians had fired more than 3000 cruise missiles into ukraine since the beginning of the war in the middle of february. and he said if he take other. busy rockets and artillery shells and ordinance as no way to add up that number. he also is responding to be to mid via devs comment. who said that if the ukrainians were to target crimea, then they would be facing a doomsday scenario. dmitri madrid ever course is the former president of russia and know the deputy head of their security council. well, president lensky said that if there was to be a wrecking, it will be for the russians because of the crimes that they have committed. and that one day there will be brought to justice. and all of this heated talk between the 2 capitals comes as the united nations monitoring group here. and ukraine has put a figure to the number of people killed so far in the war civilians. i'm talking about the say that there have been 5020 people killed of that. number 300 of them are

civilians and 6 fight 6520. have been injured. of that number 400 are children and that comes as many towns and many cities across the south in the east of this country wake up to yet another morning of the signs of war on the doorstep as the war moves in to its 21st week. allen, fisher, and cave allen. thank you. or doug claims from the atlantic kansas eurasia center, he says the landscape must act quickly to find replacements for the 2 sacked officials. so i do think that these are significant, and the big thing that observers in experts are going to be watching for is who comes next. zelinski has appointed an acting prosecutor general to replace benedict of a is not yet appointed somebody to replace ukraine's top intelligence and security chief during war time. that is an essential role. so that, that's the big thing that experts are going to be watching for who comes next. the

other thing here is that while a reason wasn't given by president zalinski for why he fired the prosecutor general, he said that the security breaches with a big reason why he lost confidence in his security chief, just today. ukraine's s p u head for crimea was arrested on charges of high treason and passing intelligence to russians. he is one of many high officials in the intelligence services who have been charged with these are charges of collaborating with the invaders. one of the big things that prosecutor general vanity tova, was mired in for much of her term, was failing to properly reform her office and allowing and sabotaging investigations into bribery cases and failing to properly do her executor duties. so for the prosecution of war crimes, that is one of the top priorities for ukrainians,

and it's something that the international community has taken very serious interest in aiding them with. so whoever comes next, the international community is going to be trying to work with them very closely to make sure that there's no hiccup in making sure that these crimes are prosecuted. a female has been held for a 4 year old ukrainian girl killed in a russian missile strike. she was among 23 people killed in an attack on the city of vanessia. on thursday. she had down syndrome, images of a body next to a baby stroller went viral on social media. her mother was severely injured and the strike. and doctors have not told her about her daughter, saying they fear the news would kill her. shall anchors, interim president, daniel become a singer, has imposed a state of emergency in an effort to ward off protests ahead of an election of a new leader. some protest as a converging on the streets of the capitol, colombo parliament, in the process of choosing a new president, utter gotta buy a raj, epoxy resigned and fled the country last week, a government issued

a number of emergency declarations since april when process started over the worst economic crisis in decades with some demonstrator say their demands for ronelle wicker m a sing at to leave office of being ignored. the people who owned that brinley people are friendly garment. that they won't, again, this point because they want to change the system economy and social system and they're wanting to come with the school, the birth and gama. we don't think we can actually, these scores. michelle fernandez is live for us in columbus. but our why has this state of emergency been brought in? well, the indications are that acting present drawn a vicar missing her, of a c is taking all the tools and gathering them together before these 2 crucial days coming up. that's on the 19th when nominations to the presidential election,

contain to large wildfires near the city of bordeaux will be 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 30 fires are burning across spain. thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes, especially in the south. the country has been experiencing a week long heat wave with highs of nearly 46 degrees. the heat also blame for hundreds of deaths and it's going to get really hot in the u. k. over the next couple of days, people are being warned that record heat waves. there could kill hundreds of people that him baba reports from london. for britain, it's a step into the unknown weather experts are putting the chance of temperatures reaching 40 celsius at 50 percent. it's never happens 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. when

there is a public guidance, it's out there. i mean the comments in south ritual us and cream made sure you're constantly re hydrating, stay out of solid peak times. i got temperature sitting 40 degrees. i think it was doubt the sun at mid day when. when, when, when that's happening. and despite seems like vis 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 a sweet mina and a meal outside. this is seriously that could actually ultimately ending in people's death because it is sound ferocious, which is 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 u. k. meteorological of his says climate change is greatly increased the chance of such heat waves here. and so to say our 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 errands be cool, he place in 3 decades to come to one thing might also be to change that compensation. that actually it's not a, it's a question about life and death and not just for the global south buttle so far. citizens in the you can train operators a warning of delays and cancellations because of the heat they're urging people only to make his central journeys with mo, 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 how to future. nadeem barbara al jazeera london still had an ard, is either an investigation into a school should he, in texas, finds the system failures in the police response on a container for the world's oldest organism in a forest of ancient trees under threat from tourism. ah, the journey has begun the fee for world copies on its way to cattle book your travel package today. hello, that ferocious he's now pushing up into north western parts of year farm out a cloud across northern airs with some shabby ray. but the heat has been pumping its way across the span of portugal through france into england and wales temperature. and wells got up to 33 celsius on sunday afternoon and it will get hotter still as we go through the next couple of days. and so what do you think

force across a good part of the u. k. 36 celsius there for london on monday. ought to still as we go on through tuesday. and we are going to see some fresh of weather, thankfully coming in for wednesday, informing them thundershowers a rolling through. take a closer look at the u. k. then this is where we got the red warning force across a good part of england. 36 celsius. therefore, london are monday overnight temperatures 40 no low than around $20.00 to $24.00 degrees celsius. are hard to sleep. we will see a temperature perhaps getting up to around 40 or $41.00 may be up towards lincoln cassette east the side of england. as we go through, choose that if we do get that, it will be hotter than around 98 percent of the earth hotter than doha hotter than dubai hotter than abu dhabi. that really should not be happening. so we are looking at a string weather over the next few days, really nasty conditions, dangerous heat, continue for good part of northwest europe. i saw official ally of the journey life and robust debates. a lot of folks when they hear the word

refugee think stranger, they think other law latrice stuck in these camps. it's regardless of your range. the way you're coming from. you said give everybody safety from global issues to those that need to be high, human rights and land defenders and brazil. they live in a circumstance of permanent violence and intimidation. the street for a global audience becomes a global community on al jazeera with ah, you want to go to 0 mind over top stories. this are ukraine's president vladimir zalinski has sacked, his prosecutor general, and the states intelligence chief. the president says 60 officials from their

agencies are working against ukraine in russian occupied areas. protesters are coming on to the streets and shall anchors capital after the interim president imposed a nationwide state of emergency. donald will come a saying, i says it's needed to uphold public order. i had a parliament's election of a new leader. france is on its highest state of alert for extreme temperatures in more than a dozen places, as a heat wave enveloped large parts of south west europe. firefighters are trying to contain 2 large wildfires to the city of baldwin. the party of pakistan's, former prime minister, imran con, is dominating by elections in the region, but the biggest population is support as have been celebrating after early results showed hans p t i party has won most of the 20 seats up for grabs and punjab the results could have national implications. prime minister chevy settings muslim league holds and not a majority in the provincial assembly. come all hiders in the hall with more than

what this could mean for the former prime minister. in many ways, they say come back for him because it was an apron that he was outdated by ward have no confidence after a multi party line on a single agenda to get rid of them. ron font government that he did, and unheeding him. after that, there was also a move within this particular province to try to by the lawyer did of enron conduct . the board. does the switch a neeagin's don't applaud, but then disqualified. and that's why the bi election was august on muslim league now was, which was one of the contained debt domain contended. and it's election against enron con, had to kept it defeat. he had $115.00 out of the 20 feet for going through the budget on with them leaving awards. and one to an independent day will now be a growing demand at enron con,

had already created that the only way out of this political it bought in order to avoid the political uncertainty that the election might be ahead. as soon as possible. enron khan had made a you come back and you cannot rule out about the ability that he may become the prime minister again, if did all free and fair elections, that part people formed as well. i did that done. and upon job you can see the provincial assembly back in me. i did a bunch of government and i've got on the grid hick end of this odd budget on that he can talk will be calling a petition in order to chew the new chief minister, a dummy report into the police responds to a school shooting in texas says offices put their own safety over the lives of children and staff. this is newly released police body come footage recorded during the attack, had rob elementary schools involved a nearly 400 officers rushed to the scene of may 24th. but they didn't do anything

for more than an hour. the shooter killed 19 students and 2 teachers before he was shot dead by police. my kind of 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 what relief the sound to the children screaming on editor doubt. but it shows local police arriving 2 minutes after the shooting started. as you approached 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 and peter redondo who was supposedly in charge at the school. once we today to redondo has taken much of the blame,

but sundays reports this 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 the 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 fil 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 rough 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 release. the report that drove home the country, the facts that law enforcement officials waited for some 75 minutes. while gunfire continued before a group of border patrol gods defied orders on the scene and rushed in to kill the gunman. my kind of audience era washington club gangs of battling for control of haiti's capital, putting hundreds of thousands of people at risk. and the city will, authorities are struggling to keep control. the un says recent gang related violence is killed at least $900.00 people in

environmental scientists, jonathan, but each of each from the university of paris in the, unless in national park, a unique, temperate rain forest or them. 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. a 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 or by using a special drill or increment core to remove a 5 millimeter sample, the length of the trees radius here is you got a cor, well, you can see it rings as like a bar code days, then you're drawing for me to, to, to numbers. then with this number, we build models of how the tree growth,

unlike 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 ears were of drought. and over here you see the scar of the tree. this means that there was a fire. but dental chronologist, antonio lera, who recorded a 3620 year old legacy 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 alerted tree and it was some one there. we don't know who a couple of weeks ago came and you can see here like within my shady or something like that, took out the bark. we don't know why because it is pure vandalism. as a result, the park is now temporarily closed to the public mud 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 older status. 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? he insists 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 seeing human.
