4:00 pm
[000:00:00;00] ah, safer than he'd been home and then he international anti corruption excellence award boat. now for your hero. ah, this is al jazeera ah hello,
4:01 pm
i'm ne parker. this is the news. our live from dough are coming up in the next 60 minutes. russian president vladimir putin arrives into iran for his 1st trip outside the former soviet union. since the start of ukraine, war temperatures exceed 40 degrees celsius and britain for the 1st time as a heat. waves sweeps across western europe. the leader of to new jersey is biggest opposition. policy appears in court. russia gwinnett. she is accused of financing terrorism for lank as opposition. leader withdrawals from the presidential race to support arrival candidate as the parliament me to choose the country's next leader . and i'm he to stay with the sports news, including action from the world athletics championships, cutters, high jump sensation, moot as boss. jim wallace. i've been a member trying with the food straight will title in oregon for round up coming up
4:02 pm
later. this is our russian president, vladimir putin was just touched down in tehran to take part in a summit. these are live pictures of the airport, their inter on the event is being overshadowed by the fallout from the war. in ukraine. vladimir putin is expected down the steps. there he is. at the moment. this is a, an all important visit for wrestler, for vladimir putin. ah, it is a chance for him, obviously to meet with the uranium president abraham, re see, and that, and his turkish counterparts. bruship tie up her to one for the so called asked on our format of discussions mainly on syria. but as i mentioned now, the entire trip has been overshadowed by the war in ukraine. and of course, putting this all in perspective, this visit comes only a week after the u. s. president joe biden visited the middle east, taking in israel and saudi arabia. let's go straight to wrestle. sarah,
4:03 pm
who's in toronto for us, or wrestle just turkey, talking initially about so vladimir putin is the 1st time he's been outside the former soviet union. since the invasion of ukraine warner expect the russian president to be trying to get out of this visit val, it's quite a remarkable wizard. as you are so sad, it is the 1st international visit of vladimir putin outside of a former, after the russia and former soviet republic. so that to day he is going to meet her, took his present judge of type ab wanting to run and then or so he's going to meet the iranian president, o'brien bracey, and also the iranian, supremely, there are the hominy. so doing his talks or meeting with them now present avalon of turkey at that of the ukraine and particularly that the grain export from ukraine is going to be at the table. so there has been several phone calls between the turkish and the russian leaders. how to, to, to pay away at the,
4:04 pm
to and love the ukrainian grain to be explored through to export the through there in black sea. and to be taken to his stumble in at santa and that from his stumble to the international market. so the experts and the officials that they have talked to, they told me that the, regarding the technicalities, both sides have an agreement on a preliminary as to kim. but now it's time for a political decision. a political decision is needed really to materialize this plan. so today we will see during the ad one and put the meeting, we will see whether this political decision is going to be there and whether it's going to be announced and let the ukrainian grant to be exported through their blacks. it's quite important to secure the global food supply on the other hand, as going to meet their president racy of iran. and simply iran is, is, is, is expected to supply moscow with hundreds of on unmanned aerial vehicles. and in return, it's asking russia to put a white, it's secure,
4:05 pm
it is cyber security expertise and also white. all these meetings are taking place in to run an important announcement that has been coming in. so the, the russian gas room and iranian national oil company have sigh a memorandum of worth of billions of dollars. so the managing director of the iranian oil national oil company said that it is worth of $40000000000.00 and it is the largest. the biggest investment in iran's oil industry in its history is going to cover the, the gas fields around the kish islands, which takes place in golf. and that is quite a remarkable dole open. because if there's agreement is materialized, then russia is going to a calais, him a territory that traditionally. yes, it has been the dominant partner resource center. thank you very much, russell. a lie for us in, in the terror on there. well,
4:06 pm
none tabatha by is the co founder and ceo if the center for applied research in partnership with the orient, which is also known as carp oh, he joins us on skype farm. docile dwarf, initially looking at the arrival here of, for vladimir putin. of course it's his 1st visitor outside the former soviet union as we sang to with their wrestles. and so the invasion of ukraine an important visit of course, given that this comes off the back of joe biden, the u. s. president, being the region to certainly there is of course, this dimension to it that this summit can be somewhat seen as a, as a response or as an immediate reaction. as an alternative summit of key regional and global players, if she'll. ready in teheran so there is certainly some, some dimension of it having said that there are stamina track has existed before. so it's not necessarily completely something new. and when it comes to the, the free partners,
4:07 pm
they're taking part in these talk. so we've got an iran of russia that backs the aside regime and we've got turkey. the backed rebel force is where is the point of agreement and convergence between these pon and nations. we have in fact entered a very, very, explicitly transactional period when it comes to alignments when it comes to networking and building blocks between states. so it is, there is no surprise that that countries that may have different goals and strategies in certain contexts may find some common ground when it comes to specific issues. and they can in fact, discuss it. or in fact, it exchange transactional agreements when it comes to context where they disagree on. so particularly when it comes to syria, what, what i thought was interesting were the very clear words of the supreme leader than the rejection of a possible invasion of turkey,
4:08 pm
of northern syria into a fact and expand their military. ready operations there, this was explicitly pushed back against and i believe this, this was important in one way for iran to make it clear point views of the turkey. the interesting thing about turkey, although it's found itself opposed to russia, as you say on many things over syria, over libya and over ukraine as well. it's resisted the imposing sanctions of russia . what is turkey hoping to try and get out of this transaction relationship, as you say, with russia? i mean, we, the war in ukraine and the situation that we have now since the beginning of this year really is a challenge to energy security. on the one hand, but also food security on the other hand. so you can, we can think of all state leaders trying on the one hand to give in to some of the demands of russia. right. at the same time securing some wheat imports. there have
4:09 pm
been reports, i don't know the numbers, but there has been some reports that there is, for example, an arrangement between iran and russia on wheat. we heard from the report of your correspondent that there has also been an agreement in the oil sector in the energy sector. so turnkey will do the same truck. you will also seek to find some ways to secure that it's demands. what at the same time giving ins into some of the russian demands. and of course, the one thing that links russia and iran is the fact that they're both facing huge amounts of international sanctions for multiple countries, especially the united states. to think that is likely to bring them close. so over the war in ukraine for instance. well, yes, as a, as i mentioned earlier, there is it's, there are shifting alignment depending on the global context on the regional context. and if we now consider that russia faces an unprecedented sanctions regime, that is even broader than the one that iran is under. then of course,
4:10 pm
suddenly there is this new avenue of cooperating in how to circumvent sanctions cooperating in how to basically secure iranian russian trade. there are now a report that the rule is now an official currency that the iranian market is taking care of for in fact, dealing with. so there are reactions to this adjustment to this for economic survival in times of sanctions are not about to buy co founder and ceo of the center for applied research upon ship with the orient. thank you so much for joining the show. my pleasure. thinking that the u. k is recorded as hot as day ever with the mercury hitting 40.2 degrees at heathrow airport. the sweltering weather has disrupted travel health care and schools across the country. most of england is under a red warning for extreme heat. or you expect extreme temperatures here in the middle east,
4:11 pm
this time of year it's 40 degrees celsius. currently out in the deserts of dough or weather, present a car, a leg will join us live there from just in just a few moments time. but let's go to poor east in london where it's hard to believe pool. it's almost the same temperature once day to like in the u. k. this extreme heat yes, this really doesn't feel like london at all the temperature, hair by tower bridge across from the tower of london at currently at about 39 degrees celsius us already already record before today. and as you say, 40.2 degrees celsius registered at heathrow, breaking not 40 degree barrier for the 1st time. you know, the u. k. just isn't built for this. transport is struggling with trains cancelled or running very slow speeds due to the tracks, not being alta, not able to handle these temperatures, some of the tracks buckling indeed,
4:12 pm
and hospitals struggling as well. surgeries being cancelled just because the hospitals a too old and they can't. they can't handle this heat is too hot inside the hospitals and you know, people in the u. k. on built for this either there's health warnings for people in elderly age bracket. children as well. people with sicknesses, people are more prone to the hydration heat stroke. and haste hates exhaustion. the world health organization has been advising people to get at least one or 2 hours in air conditioning every day if possible. that's simply not possible for some of the people we've met today in some of the poor areas of this barbara of london and housing a states that a rundown poorly ventilated flats. there is simply no way for them to go to cool down. as some forecasters say that the u. k is among the top 2 or one percent of places for temperatures in the globe at this time or he's in london. thank you.
4:13 pm
let's go to our weather presenter car, a leg. now car, you seem to have drawn the short straw, you're out in the katara deserts at sir, perhaps on the hottest parts of the day. i'm only scared to ask it is the desert there? are hotter still than london? well i'm here in the depths of the june's in cotton were at the height of the summer and yes, provisionally, it looks like london is indeed hotter than cuts and others, no one else out here pop from my camera, man, the camels and some of them. keith is, it really is very hot and dry. i've got my trusty thermometer here and yes, 40 degrees celsius. so it is looking hotter across the u. k. now the difference is, is that we are prepared for these kind of conditions. here. we are used to this intense summer heat people here, well prepared for that, the buildings insulated. we've also got air conditioner available in all of the buildings. people have ready. i remember when i 1st arrived here, you walk outside in the intense summer heat. it's like walking into
4:14 pm
a boiling hot oven, but you do become acclimatized to it, but that's not what we see in the u. k. i'm from there. i've never seen temperatures like this myself. now, those trends where the world the world is warming, we are seeing that here there has been a some moon declared that the seasonal wind. it's also called a toxic wind. and that's because it brings very high temperatures, very quickly, dangerous heat. and that is detrimental to plants and oversee animal life. here were also in the most intense heat of this time of year, the 40 day period referred to as the jungle. ok, hyde. now that roughly translate to big nighted coal of the summer heat here. so people are prepared for it. the good news for people in the u. k. is that we are going to see temperatures come down. western europe as well as that cool air. sweet thing over the next few days. but for us here, for, for the camels, up do, and myself, we got another 2 to 3 months of this intense heat before it starts to ease up and cool down nicely in time for the fee for world cup and curve velocity. before we
4:15 pm
let you go back to the shade lessons, do you think countries like the u. k, you can learn from places like cancer when it comes to starting. cool. well that is a good question. earlier i did speak to ali the camel. keep a he was very surprised. i mean he, you know, they speak about england and they, it's extreme cold, freezing snow. he thought was possibly snowing there. so he was very alarmed to hear that the temperature day is possibly higher than out here. he suggested people don't go out unless it's necessary to take some sort of shade. he's got a tent out here and to drink copious amounts of water. but he said that they are seen temperatures continue to climb. you know, they had record heat here about 12 years ago. the temperature hit $50.00, reportedly an all time record for katara and they are seeing the temperatures continue to climb over the summer months. they are seeing that intense heat corollary in the depths of the guitar doesn't go and stay cool. thank you. in large parts of western europe a scorching heat way,
4:16 pm
reco temperatures raising while fires are risking lives and threatening homes. spain is one of the. busy worst hit countries, firefox is a battling dozens of blazes which forced thousands of people to flee their homes. same bas ravi has more from the northwest region of zamora. these humble little ponds in the middle of the hills in this part of northwest spain have become significant parts of the fire rescue workers efforts angled logistics required to try to stop these wildfires that are raged across this region. helicopters are coming down
4:17 pm
with an hour ago. now we're down to this one helicopter with other air units mobilized to fight fires on the other side of this valley. so these reservoirs become significant parts of the fire rescue workers efforts to try to contain the fires that are happening in these hills normally used for pooling water for surrounding agriculture for the surrounding farms. now there are used to try to save those farms from being engulfed by these wild fires. burgess decrees in southwest france
4:18 pm
of battling to contain large forest fires that blazes near the city of bordeaux have already torn through nearly 20000 hectares of land found by strong winds or the 30000 people have been evacuated since the fight started a week ago. natasha butler has borne from paris, still a very hot day in france concerning feeling i hear in paris as those temperatures klein could probably see people behind me there on kathy terrace as though trying to enjoy the summer. despite the intense heat, it's going to be hosses today in the north of the country. i denise in the west of the country, temperatures have dropped by nearly 10 degrees in some areas. and that, of course, is a great news for the fire fighters in the southwest and that around a region where they've been battling huge wildfires. now a for a week, those lower temperatures, the sun, you gotta make the situation easier. hopefully, even though there is still a strong winds in those areas, but we are expecting perhaps even a little bit of a rain in that area. so some responses i said for the emergency services here. nevertheless,
4:19 pm
the big picture is that the french government has actually downgraded its heat. were he's wave alerts from red to orange. that is because we're really moving through the peak of this heat wave at this time. but this is, of course, the 2nd heat wave we've had in a recent weeks assign the say, climate change activists that these heat waves are becoming more frequent or more intense. this is about climate change and they say a lot has to be done to try and diminish the impact of climate change, which we're all living for. plenty more head of the news our, including the new report off is oblique assessment of the state to the environment and australia. we look at the grocery initiatives aiming to discourage violence ahead of next month. selections in kenya, and the host nation farms to the women's africa cup of nations. for little nuts on the way later we spoke. ah,
4:20 pm
but the latest round of voting is underway, the race to take over from british prime minister boys johnson. earlier he shared his la shuttled cabinet meeting. johnson announced his departure early this month when dozens of ministers was i in following a series of scandals. ok, let's get more in this with jonah hole who joins me now live from london. joe, nowhere edging a little close. so we what's happening today. we're in the final stretch now of the sort of knock out phase of this leadership contest within the conservative party by wednesday afternoon, around 24 hours or so. from now we will know who the to final candidates to go on to face an election by the members of the conservative party. later in the summer with the new leader, the party had prime minister to be revealed on september the 5th. but it is the m p 's now who continue to have their say in about half an hour time or little over half an hour from now we'll have the results of the latest ballot tuesdays balance
4:21 pm
. one of the 4 remaining candidates will be knocked out of the race in the ballot that will leave. of course 3 to it will be whittle down to on wednesday it's been an increasingly bitter contest, revealing deep divisions within the party, personal animosities between its big fish on why display here differences on everything from taxation to defense spending to climate change policy, and even criticisms open criticism often of the parties own record in government under boris johnson as gonna take us to the candidates still in the race likely to make it through richie. so now the former chancellor is still in the lead he's likely to remain in the lead after tuesday's ballot has been since the beginning. he is all all but assured of going through to the final too. but opinion polling out in the last hour shows that among the members, members of the party,
4:22 pm
who of course will make the final decision. mr. soon act is shown as losing 2 or 3 of the other potential candidates against him who will stand against him while it's thought most likely on tuesday. that can be bad, not perform. recall it is minister will drop out of the race that will leave lives . trust the foreign secretary, the big figure on the right of the party, a sort of johnson county continuity candidate. and the less well known penny more than looking more like the change candidate or the new change candidate left in the race. she had a big surge of support last week that serge seemed to have ground somewhat to a whole, but she perhaps less tainted by association with johnson and the scandals of the last several mom. right. turning into a very interesting contest journal whole live in london. thank you. now, the threat of political arrest is looming over kenya. once more is it prepares to vote in next month's general election. the grassroots initiatives are trying to

4:25 pm

4:27 pm
a party in terms of political power. all one of the biggest oppositions to chi side . and his sort of reaching for one man rule in tunisia. so this is a big political trauma and certainly leading members of an after party a calling it that. and they're saying that j, this is a sort of a political piece of theater that is for show that it's a home propaganda. but they are deeply concerned about what the outcomes could be to day you're without. is there a time for the weather with rob? today will be the peak of the western european. he twain. but even yesterday, it was hot enough to break recalls in wales hard stems recorded in jersey. likewise, the hottest place in france was minnie 43. that wasn't a record curacy. the oldest place in spain wasn't that high. we just dropped down a little bit for spain, bit of a change in the, in the air, but it is say, today will be the peak. that's certainly true for england. we could see 40 degrees
4:28 pm
somewhere between london and manchester's, or somewhere in england. even at $39.00, none to be breaking the all time record record for the u. k. now, the forecast after that is completely different. i said the last day, wednesday, thursday, or friday in london back down to normal was showers falling out of the sky. now it is not just the daytime he is the night time persistent. he can't be a bit of a problem doing. he has a good thing. it's not that long lasting but we did break the record. some place in london didn't drop below 26. and it was simply pretty warm all the way down through western europe. but the heat wave is moving east year and wednesday, think of it in germany, running in to scan david down towards hungry and thirsty goes further, is still the reason for it. an encroachment of rain and class, and probably thunderstorms still ahead on al jazeera by demonstrators in panama of tune up a deal with the governmental fuel price cuts. florida, prosecutors say they want the death penalty for the man behind the 2018 mush

4:31 pm
minister boris johnson. earlier he chad, his law shuttled capital meeting russian president vladimir putin has just touched out in toronto to take part in the summit that's being overshadowed by the fallout from the war and ukraine talked to the wrong president. abraham, why you see and turkish leadership time. oh, don't a meant to focus on syria algebra senior political analyst, my bashar, as says the leaders are addressing security challenges and threats of new alliances in the middle east. they're trying to find accommodation. each one of those powers have some needs and some demands. they also have something to offer. clearly turkey would like to help russia on the questions of ukraine and the question of exporting go green. iran would like to help russia break out of its isolation. same thing with terms of russia. iran. i think both iran and russia
4:32 pm
trying to find out competition with their kid might its own security and the whole issue with r y, p g. and i think all 3 of them have issues with the united states and the new in emerging axis. as of last week, out of jetta. so really on, you know, i think it's just almost, you know, fortunate time for, for these 3 leaders to be meeting in order to address both the security challenging they're facing. as well as the new emerging axis between the saudi area, between the saudi arabia, israel and the united states. there are a number of bilateral relations and unilateral needs of each one of those 3 powers . but they certainly meet on the question of what's next in the middle east and clear, the middle east is evolving or should i say devolving into a new hold water source? it's not like the old cold war,
4:33 pm
and then at least or not the old cold war that we've seen between the soviet union, the united states. there's something new to something strange, something postmodern about how coalitions and alliances are emerging. them at least for lancoste polymer does, announced the 3 candidates nominated to become the next president. that included in trim leader and former prime minister ronelle vicar missing him. he'll face a formal education minister and left his lead. a final vote is expected on wednesday or protest as have rallied in the capital to condemn. rick ramirez, seeing his presidential bid, they see him as one of the faces of sal anker's worth economic crisis and decades. the next president will finish the term of go to buy a roger pack, so who fled to sing a pool last week. when al fernandez says more from colombo, the kind of protest you're seeing behind me is the increasing sort of voices was about ronald vicar missing his candidacy. and there's a lot of opposition to that in parliament today. we saw that form
4:34 pm
a process where nominations were handed over to the secretary general of parliament . now there were 4 that were named and expected, but just before the nominations were handed over, we heard that the opposition leader was withdrawing from the rest. the reason he said was that he and his party, the s g b, had decided to support the candidacy of dallas, alabama. alabama is basically a fairly senior politician, part of the sort of parent party that then evolved into the roger box that kind of faction lead s l p. p. a dallas? i'm sort of was sideline due to the time of the roger buck says he's, he's not obviously as the cat is magic as mine, that i did park so as forceful. but he does have a silent support. what we're hearing from the sergeant ray mendoza. cam is that the reason for him withdrawing is that there is an agreement that has been reached
4:35 pm
between sergeant ray with us in dallas, alabama basically that subject rim without a will back. i'll happy rumors bid for presidency on the basis that when, if and when he becomes president, he would then call on sergeant bremar dasa to form a government and make him prime minister. meanwhile, the acting president, runner vicar missing are, are basically expects that support of the s l p. p. but all is not a sort of well that either. so this is the background in which that election in parliament will take place. on wednesday wells for lancaster, former president go to bar roger, pac sir is being blamed for bunning in ports of chemical fertilizer that resulted in rice production being cut in half, pushing the country to the brink of a food emergency. so far, some reports from candy where she has been speaking to farmers, their body feels look lush and green, but in reality, these farmers are struggling on may 6 last year they were forced to go organic

a box of policies. the agricultural sector has nearly collapsed in just 3 years. 3 longer that long been an export of rice has now been forced to import their staple food. the imports are costing the country dearly. here in the hills around candy suite longer 2nd largest city. all of the country's current crises come together to take their rise and vegetables to the market. farmers need fuel, which is in short supply, those who are lucky enough to find fuel to buy, find a markets nearly empty because traders and buyers face a lack of fuel to buy and unplug and we can't rely on the business. and even if you manage to bring $500.00 kilos of vegetables from farms here, there are no customers to buy it and buy the price has gone up. for example, 5 under the, at the end of the day, i am forced to sell for $200.00 looking up at that, i keep losing money. and the impending disarm professor mart amby was sacked as a government advisor after i had warranty. import band was
4:38 pm
a recipe for disaster. some men made disaster very unfortunately is to live. but still we have some for that vi in the correct bar. this is not going to see organic agriculture is bad. i mean, nobody should give that impression. but they are all parallel lines, but we are looking at countries food security, not the food security of the small group of people. he says, domestically grown rice will run out in a few months, leaving whoever thinks over as president, a massive problem, how to pay for imported rise to prevent a humanitarian disaster. when the government has run out of foreign currency, steadfast and al jazeera candy, 3 lanka, the number of people known to have died after a boat capsized and central pakistan has more than double to 50 local governments. as the vessel was overloaded when it sank in the river, and sadie gabbard district, most of the passengers, when were women and children going to a wedding, come hider has wor, from his love about
