5:11 am
officials, they're expect the fires to continue growing because the high temperatures and dry conditions shall returns. he now joins us live from washington, d. c. it's an extraordinary number of people there, even the heat warnings or he conditions are we expecting things to get worse? why back to that several ways to look at that question. i think i've absolutely, we're expecting the climate to keep on reaching extremes as a result of the author and action on climate change, but in the short term. also, yes, we are seeing these warnings expected to continue over the coming weeks. tom temperatures up to 43 degrees centigrade 110 degrees fahrenheit. those areas with the extreme heat warnings that you mentioned are mainly in central and southern united states or kansas, missouri, oklahoma, arkansas, or texas into kentucky, tennessee, down to louisiana, mississippi at areas like that. but i also have warnings for the northeast of new
5:12 am
york, boston philadelphia. there was another figure that we had 80 percent of the us population will experience over 90 degrees fahrenheit $30.00 to $2.00 degrees centigrade over the next 7 days. and i think in the here in d saves it's forecast me 35 degrees centigrade on, on wednesday. so these are, these are very, very high temperatures, even in areas that are used to hot summers. it's a timely speech, but we are expecting president joe biden to give a speech on the climate. what we expect him to say will he address what's going on right now? it was such an interesting microcosm of everything we've come to expect from the bite and ministration. we'd been hearing conflicting reports throughout the day that he would declare a climate emergency. he would use a visit to what was once a co 5 plan which, which is now been turned into some sort of offshore wind facility to make, make a declaration and the, the u. s. face of the climate emergency. and this is a sort of bureaucratic thing, but it's also
5:13 am
a very dramatic thing. it's something that allows the president to move to expedite the cut red table in various areas to increase funding to various areas that will help combat climate change. but as the day wore on, we had, i'm finally going to confirm the precedent that he won't be actually declaring a climate emergency after all, he may, may talk about some, some other executive actions that, that he might take. but i'm behind that is the story that we've had so often in the bite administration. that was a sense that it's the weekend when it became clear. the jo mansion, the democratic senator from west virginia, who's taken massive amounts of fossil fuel money, was just basically going to say, look, i'm never going to vote for any go climate agenda. and the by did ministration seem to finally get the message and without his vote in the 5050 senate, they weren't gonna get the thing through. at almost anger in the white of my going to show him, we're going to declare an emergency. but then mansion started making some other noises today. so maybe maybe i'll be open to something. and now biden's going back and said, well in that case the white house seems to be saying, well, in that case we don't want to offend him and we have to go back to our usual. are
5:14 am
you sure toy of, of just hoping that somehow legislation will become unlocked because it was brilliant scale in the senate, but that's been the story with so much of by just completely destroyed domestic agenda. so we're back to about in the meantime, the temperatures keep going up and the us is nowhere near to meeting any of the promises. biden made about its international climate obligations. i think maybe that that maybe maybe 25 percent on track of, of the climate obligations will expire and keeps on like this. that even, that's probably generous. she returns you there in washington, d. c. thanks. so the head on al jazeera, why gray next bulls run the agenda, when russia's vladimir putin, that iranian and turkish leaders had a new report of his oblique assessment of the state of the environment and australia. ah,

5:18 am
and officials that expect the fires to continue growing. president vladimir putin says he's willing to facilitate ukrainian grain exports, but only on the condition that the remaining restrictions on russian and grain are removed. earlier putin, hel, talked to the rounds of president abraham, racy and turkish leadership type at the one in terran. those discussions were meant to focus on syria, but they were overshadowed by the fallout from the war in ukraine. russell said our reports from to her. russian president, vladimir, put his 1st face to face meeting with me to leader since rushes invasion of ukraine in february. putin, antonius, president jeff, type avalon were in iran's capital to rom, to discuss a un back proposal to resume exports of ukrainian grain through the black sea to help ease the global food crisis if a jew of polluted that he though issues you know, i want to thank you for your efforts in mediation, providing a forum for negotiation on foot problems on the problem of grain export by the
5:19 am
black sea was we move forward under your mediation. not all the problems have been resolved yet, but it's already good that there is a movement on the 2nd international trip since the start of the war in ukraine put in also met iranian present. abraham bracy who hosted the trilateral summit. both russia and iran are among the most sanctioned countries in the world, and the 2 nations are now seeking to boost economy corporation is sat as over at this level of business and trade between the 2 countries is definitely not enough considering the existing capacities for half and it can go to a higher level. we think we can reach $30000000000.00, which is 3 times more than the current number on me just before put his visit. russian energy giant cost rome and iran's national oil companies signed a memorandum of understanding worth $40000000000.00 to develop a gas field around kish island or in the gold was actually if so, mean at the summit is a part of our standard format. a mechanism that was established 5 years ago between
5:20 am
russia, turkey and iran, 2 and the 11 the war in syria. ah, what russian iran are the main beckers of the syrian government, led by cheryl a said turkey has effectively supported to sit in opposition. since 2016 turkey has also lost 3 major military operations inside syria against curtis arm group y, p g and isis. and uncle ross's preparations are now on the way to conduct a fort operation into syria, to create a 30 kilometer deep securities on a plan that both russia and iran or pause. but the turkish president did not back down me legal. a names are custody. we are determined to drive out the centers of evil from syria that threatened our national security gonna, as us, donna guarantors, our expectation from the russian federation and iran is to support turkey in this fight. despite is all 3 present, said the austin. a peace process has been effective in setting up
5:21 am
a foundation for peace in syria. russia has withdrawn most of his forces from syria after the war began in ukraine. now, syria is increasingly becoming a source of tension between turkey and iran, as they both have a significant military presence in the country. the next round of the trilateral summit under a standard format will be held in moscow. but the fragile balance between these 3 countries could possibly be disturbed in case of a military operation into syria august they can find a diplomatic solution to the crisis. russell said that of 0 iraq, iran, as judiciary says the award winning filmmaker, java upon a. he must serve a 6 year sentence that was originally handed to him in 2010. but he had been accused of supporting antique govern demonstrations. he was arrested last week after he went into the prosecutor's office to inquire about to detained a fellow filmmaker's. mamma that russell off and must suffer alarm at rules arrested after they use social media to condemn the government's response. the
5:22 am
protests i thought is that the research director, the national iranian american council, she joins is now from las los angeles. i. so we've been seeing a lot more of these crackdowns. nothing unusual in iran, but what's behind this latest round a thank you for having me. well, it's the volume with which we're seeing it is actually even unusual for iran. of course, iran is an authoritarian state. it's a state in which the iranians themselves have been repressed in many different ways . but over the course of the last several years, as economic and domestic pressure have increased, you also see an increased crackdown coming from the top down from the iranian authorities and security forces. whether it be a protest that they meet with deadly force, which we saw in november of 2019, whether it be increased arrests of dissidence. one of the things to keep in mind is while artists have come under increased pressure and attacks this, these particular arrest coincided with that of most have
5:23 am
a touch of inches. in iranian political figures to someone who served under the hot time he read under the ha tommy administration. so it's not, it's not one group, it's really a crackdown on any form of dissidents within the state. but does that mean there's external pressures, hey, on the iranian govern of a doing this because they're losing support. i certainly think that external pressure has something to do with what we're seeing happened. this is, in fact, you know, proponents of diplomacy, those who wanted iranian civil society to thrive, argued for years that these, the sanctions pressure, the pressure that externally being put on iran, namely ordinary iranians. not the iranian government will create this kind of pressure from within, which will then create a crackdown from above. that's what we've seen, not only in the case of iran, but really in any situation where you see domestic pressure. what the iranian authorities have shown is that their number one priority is not their citizens. it's not the people of the country. it is sustaining their own power and they are
5:24 am
willing to take any measure to do so. on the back of all of this i, we all saying abraham rising meet with vladimir putin and with the turkeys president, are the one certainly a strong image that they're protect projecting to the world. but are they getting that kind of support at home as well? and there is certainly a group or you know, a population within the country that does support the state, arguably that is a minority. when you see the protests that we've seen over the last several years, these protests have been increasing. and this is especially the case as economic pressure continues to increase on them in terms of the messaging that the iranian government is giving. i think that the messaging is, is more for their own people and for the international community. the message is to say that descent will not be allowed. however, did iranian people are also sending their own message not only to the iranian government, but to the international community and that messages that they will not be silenced . someone a figure like jeff are palmer himself, but as you mentioned,
5:25 am
she was originally arrested in 2010. that's because he was participating in protests in 2009 in 2010. so this is a figure who throughout decades continues to resist any from repression that he sees in state. us are all, thank you very much as us a rod from los angeles. thank you. thousands of sedans, house people have been protesting across multiple cities. the morning justice for dozens of people killed and tribal clashes and blue now states, and he said to people, been killed, and the 200 wounded since fighting broke out last week. between the birds he and the house. the groups had been morgan has moved from lunel state, were here in one of the residential districts, and were serious locality. incidence blue now states. and this area here was a scene of fighting between members of the house, the tribe, and members of the font tribe. it's a coalition of various other tribes. now it's has thought had over land dispute with members of the french tribe,
