ah safe going home and then international anti corruption excellence award boat now for your hero. ah, this is al jazeera ah. hello, i'm the bulk of this is the news, our life from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes, italy's prime minister maria dragon resigned off to his main allies for we cause

a confidence vote. so lanka has a new president, ronald vick reminiscing of his sworn in despite protested opposing his election. flash floods in nigeria, north of killed at least 20 people and despite hundreds of families and with protests against the outgoing government columbia. whereas in its most diverse congress ever and i'm sort of harder to sports including 2 more gold medals at the world athletics championships. nora jude side sites, the steeplechase title for catholic san juan chinas. bang, been auth, or is everyone in the women's, disco? ah, welcome to the news. our italians will be facing election sooner than planned of the prime minister step down mario drug. he will stay on as a can't take

a leader until the autumn of to tendering his resignation to italy's president sergio matter ela. a few hours ago. elections were scheduled for next may, but will likely be brought forward to september or october of this year. draggy won a confidence vote in parliament on wednesday, but 3 political parties in his coalition government refused to participate straight to adam rainy whose lie for us in rome. i don't what's behind the, the splintering or the ruling coalition there in italy. well on the eve it's basically what happened was a national unity government, which is how it was billed since february of 20. 21 fell apart. there was no unity anymore. and this all started last week when one party in this coalition, the 5 star movement refused to take part in a confidence really taking a hit money that you said he didn't want to continue and he offered his resignation . then he went up to the could nearly hail were right now upside the prime minister's office, but he went to the president's office on quitting alley and he offered that

resignation. but it was refused. and the president who is low to hold early election told, but please go back to parliament, make a case for your government that he did just that. on wednesday here in rome, he went into the senate for house apartment, and he said, look, the whole country wants us to continue to address all of the pressing problems, drought inflation, the war and ukraine pass a new budget so the country can keep functioning at this very difficult time, but he couldn't get his parties on board instead of one party, not taking part in the confidence vote on wednesday, 3 parties and total did. so he saw he had no unity and there was no way to continue really politically with although he had won this confidence about many people and his coalition just didn't vote. they boycotted it. so i went back to the president this morning, thursday in rome, offers resignation. and methodist church and the present saw that the only way for it was to accept that asking that are going to carry on as a caretaker, prime minister. but probably only for

a couple months. it's been reported the election will probably be in september, october. we're going to hear from the president shortly who will probably confirmed that right, adam and those elections were scheduled for next year. how do you think the country will take the prospect of having early elections? well, a lot of people we've been speaking to both politicians and also regular people are nervous. they're nervous that this is going to occupy all the political tension in the country when what should be taking place is focusing on a budget and getting italy to address these pressing problems. i mentioned also hanging in the balance for tens of billions of euro still of an e u recovery fund. that will only be delivered haley if they continue to pass reforms as required by the recovery law. so people are worried that may not happen in mainly they're worried about the rising costs here. they wonder if the government can address of inflation properly with this political uncertainty. also,

marty, that is a central banker. he's called supermodel by some people in europe for some think, saving the euro more than 10 years ago. so a tally and thought he was a steady hand some some don't like me. of course. that's why perhaps he didn't have the popularity wanted. but people thought, well, at least he's a banker and things will be stable right now with elections are held as we think they will be in the fall. the largest winner is probably going to be the brothers of italy, a very hard right when party it's not really known for its economic management. so people are concerned that with them leading the way, perhaps not as prime minister, but somehow winning more heat sending the other party that it might mean there's some economic difficulty ahead for italy out of many things out of rainy in the italian capital that will, let's bring in the fleming in the a socket who's a professor of political sociology a to see a university. she joins us now from rome. welcome to the news. now if we heard that from adam, it sounds like all of this political instability could well be exploited by italy's

far right? absolutely, they seem to be the ones who are taking advantage of the crisis. and of course, we are on very worried about economic situation in that of course you cannot call a winner until election and actually the syllabus. so we'll see what happens in dave at the beginning of the autumn. now the, the role in coalition this emergency coalition of the state of the country through some of its recent difficulties also somewhat of an unlikely coalition of different political parties. was it always destined to be temporary? was it always destined to, i guess fail it as well. it was destined to govern in a difficult situation. but the difficult situation back then was the condemning. so it was a large population that was meant to give them the demick crisis and had it not been for the war in ukraine. i believe that the coalition would have ended at the

beginning of 2022. but then, you know, we've had a new crisis and nobody was seen us too well, at least as feet as matthew bradley to govern the situation. so think of on this strange government of different parties was kept in office and of course it was meant to and sometimes soon though, when the drug initially turned at his resignation, it was turned down by the president, wasn't it? so, i mean, to criticize drug. you say that he basically failed to bring the disparate parts of that coalition to broke together. that was his main failing. yes. well, this is something that has been, you know, commented recently. well, of course we have to keep in mind, he's a technician, he's an expert, he's not a politician. and it is very difficult to keep together. parties in a coalition parties that are so different from one another. there are populous

party in this type of government, and they are different types of populism. and capitalism doesn't like. in general, generally speaking, population doesn't like complicated situation. they need to simplify them and find some easy way out of a crisis. and of course, it is difficult to find an easy way out of the crisis when the crisis is so big is so deep, and it has a multiple, you know, explanation to it. right, well i'm glad for talking specifically about populism barrett, it's the way the country be moving steadily more and more to the rights of recent years. well, the right, you're right, it being populist and you tend to give people a dream. it tends to simplify things. it tends to say, well, yes, the situation is complicated, but it's not that bad. so you can relax, you,

you need some relief and you don't need to make sacrifices for so long. whereas the, you know, the moderate and the left wing tend to be more pragmatic. they tend to say, well, this is a crisis that we're experiencing with the crisis needs the population to face some sacrifices. and this is what we need to do in order to get out of the crisis. and you know, it's difficult to make people digest such a difficult discourse for too long order a potential for a government in italy, europe's 3rd largest economy, mean for the euros are and you think well, that's a good question. the thing is that the far right has always had its own peculiar ideas economy. they tend not to regard with the, you know, you as an opportunity, true to europe. and of course, they tend to think that even in a globalized world, countries can take,

they tend to think that and of course, once they're in government, things change a little. but they tend to think that and to propose this kind of, you know, economic model best thinking that each country can be autonomous. and that's unfortunately, or, you know, lucky, i don't know. that's not the case. or i'd really great to have you on the show for many, a soccer professor political sociology at this university. thank you. and you know firefighters in spain say they're making progress in their battle to contain dozens, a while foss, temperatures dipped on wednesday. but most of the countries now back on the low for a continuing heat wave. same bas rory has this report from to borrow in northern spain. when the inferno came, farmers in some ora became firefighters with oh, my god, he says, i'm all alone. in remote areas like this,

there is no time to wait for a rescue proof. you have to save yourself. the wind whips up the flames in every direction. it is easy to find yourself surround. mm. i came out of nowhere. oh my go go, go. yeah, go get around this guy. days later, manuel hills charts, oil putting out any remaining embers image, didn't you? i you that we had hell, but from other farmers in the area will. doris, the local government didn't help us are told that it is very nice to come after the fire and say we will pay for all of this. but the time to help us is when the fire is here in the blaze burned crops, destroyed infrastructure and left behind. economic uncertainty,

fires in this part of the country may be under control for now, but there is still smoke hanging in the air. you can see it obscuring the landscape . you can even smell it for the people living here. and for those fire rescue teams that are based here in tomorrow. these are ever present reminders the wild, far season is far from over. your money for 3 generations, yolanda my o julians family has lived and worked on this land you off. she watched their bar and go up in flames in minutes. taking stock. she says they don't know how they'll be able to recover. angiano, gary, aristo not on bundles. i've never seen anything like this before. the fire came very quickly with a lot of wind. it was just relentless. we could do absolutely nothing. it's still going. it still has a lot of power. it just there used to be hundreds of animals here, most were moved,

but yolanda family could not save the hay. the livestock, these even before the wild fires changed this landscape, life here was hard. families struggling just to make a living, are now scrambling to keep their future from turning to ash. i will. same bas ravi joins us now live from sab rare, or sin. avila province says, saying your poor very clearly showed the impact on people's lives, and livelihoods was the sight of the while foster day. how bad are they, where you are now? well, just up until today, the north and the northwest of spain, those areas were the worst effected by wildfires. but today we are here in a villa province. and this is the area that officials in authority say, is currently the most it danger is by all accounts the worst effected part of the

country from this wildfire season. now we're just overlooking the town of superheroes. and if you take a look at the chart hillside, the chart country with driven up to get to this place, you really get a sense of how close this place came to completely going up in flames. and why this is still considered a very important danger zone. to continue the firefighting effort, you can still hear helicopters in the air. this is still very much an active scene . i'm just going to step out and show you what this hillside looks like to give you a sense of how severe the fires were. we've driven across one hill after another that looks like this. entire areas, entire low growth forests, completely burned up. but if you just look at this in this direction, you can see exactly where the firefighters were able to stop the fire, where the fire stopped, where the black turns to green again. and it is incredibly start contrast. the fire came very close to taking over this entire hillside and for the people living

here, it must have been a terrifying, seen. if you just look down, you can see where the fire came right up against some buildings. and those are residences. that is where people live and in firefighting terms, in terms of the logistics of combating this wildfire season. this is considered a very close call. the town of sabrina rose is incredibly close to where the fires were. so this is once again, a place that had a very close call when it comes to this was far as season. no doubt would have been a major relief to those living in this town for the fires to have stopped where they were. now, when it comes to combating these fires, it is certainly about saving the landscape, saving infrastructure and building saving lives. but this is also an important strategic place because sererow is where the european space agency has a thing called the sub rarest red antenna. it is a, an important communication satellite dish that communicates with spacecraft,

spacecraft, and satellites in the air. and it is an important piece of european infrastructure to give you a sense of why it's so important was i actually used as part of nasa's mars landings. so important infrastructure in this area, and at the headquarters, the firefighters headquarters down in the town, there were saying that that facility was now so being surrounded by flames, and firefighters and rescue workers are trying to put out those fires as we speak. so very much this place is still an active site where firefighters are working away and you can still hear the helicopters in the air as we were driving in. you could see spot plans, you could see water dumping planes, so still a very active place. now we are at a higher elevation, this is a more mountainous area and the roads are block. the police are taking a controlling traffic much more seriously here. because in these hills, it is much easier to get caught up in active fires dramatically. child landscape, bind you there. same same bas ravi in spain. ivy la provence. thank you. or no

vicar, am a singer, has been sworn in his for lancoste president. he was elected by m p. eustace by widespread public protests. many for lankin sees partly responsible for the current economic crisis. from a singer says he's going to be tough from what he calls on democratic demonstrators . he will complete the term of go to buy a roger pack, so he resigned after fleeing to singapore. last week. the political and economic instability is pushing many of the country to consider leaving sri lanka, sep ross, and has more from outside the passport office in colombo. while honey a week are missing, i was inaugurated as the 8 executive president of sri lanka. these people were standing in a long queue. none of them have been paying any attention, nor was it a reason for them to celebrate. they've been in this queue for around 3 days. they've been sleeping here. they have been eating here. they have been waiting most of the time, they've been waiting to get a passport because they all want to leave the country. the situation has become so

dire for their families to feed their families, to get fuel, to get jobs. that's why they have decided to leave. most of them want to go to the middle east and they're trying to get a passport. it's an enormous q, it's the largest group, the longest q i've seen since i've been in sri lanka. so this is a huge task that week i'm a senior has to deal with. he has to deal with a very dire the most serious economic situation. the country has seen since its independence. and what he's trying to do now is been reaching out to other parties trying to build this national coalition government and see if there is going to be some consensus to find a way out of this by default ahead of the news out, including the worlds fastest land the animal is expected to come back to india after 70 years. we report from ne bangladesh where schools of re open despite many areas still being under water. and as soon as his football is prepare for,

the customer will come. we speak to the fans back home, he will be cheering them on ah, iraq is observing a day of morning after an attack in the semi autonomous curtis region killed 8 people and we did 23. the bombardment happened to the tourist resort city of zacko near the turkish border. the rocky prime minister was blaming turkey, but anchor says it was a terror attack. i minister mustafah al cadell me, says baghdad reserves to the rid, right, to retaliate. turkey regularly carousel air strikes in northern iraq targeting members of the current storm workers party, which it classes as a terrorist group. like move it up, why had, has more back down will this pro li, based on no previous operation carried out to a byte turkish forces in the areas near the borders with iraq. again this to p k.

k, the curtis 10 workers parties. fighters, it seemed that many institutions here in iraq are still insisting on accusing turkey of or turkish forces of carrying out this attack. despite the fact that turkey has strongly deny dutch and accused the could this time the workers party fighters over carrying out the attack. now today has been declared a morning day in iraq for the victims of the the artillery attack in his resort in northern iraq. and the prime minister must have a cause. the me says that he's tweeted that it's a violation of iraq sovereignty. the many institutions he has specially political and institutions are putting pressure on the government to take action by downsizing, diplomatic representation with 30 and also some calling for a closure of crossing terminals. with turk. we'll see them cos yellow is in if

stumble, where the government is not responsible for the attack since yesterday. turkish foreign ministry and military sources have been saying that this is a terror attack. this is not done by the turkish military and turkish foreign minister. 2, he repeated that he rejected the claims of turkish military target. the civilians, he said turkish military never target civilians anywhere in the world. and the world knows that and turkey claims that these operations in northern iraq against the outboard curtis, the workers party with the p k. k, is to defend itself against terrorism. and it is in line with international law. a turkish military has been conducting a counter p k k operations in northern iraq for many years. and since last april, it has been a very intensive operation that targeted the p k. k elements and the camps in

northern iraq, rural areas. and apparently, the village where the to billions were killed yesterday was very close to the area where the p k. k. camps were and where the turkish military has been actually shelling since the morning. i have been hearing from the kurdish local sources that the area is very close to the operation area. and the group was also guided by a tourism guide, and the locals are also curious why the civilians, the tourists who came from bag that have been brought very close to the military operation area. an independent review has criticized the british government's handling of migrants who arrive in small boats from northern france. the report says the response by the home office has left vulnerable people at risk as being a sharp rise and the number of attempting crossings of the english channel by migrants refugees in recent years. in 2018, 236 people made the dangerous journey. her riving on the u. k. southern coast,

by last year that had increased to more than 28 and a half 1000 order officials predict the number this year could be much higher. the dean barber's life for us in london on there, sir. nadeem, exactly how damning is this report will it is very critical, lee, this report to her, which is be now led by sancho david neal. her. he's criticized the months many months of delay in public publishing. this reports by the u. k. government just in the last few days now it's out. we know how damming he's been. he's really are said the term. that's the situation on the southern coast in dealing with refugees who arrive on those small boats earlier this year or both. um, but he said that it, they, they caused problems both insecurity procedures. and they left

a vulnerable migrants at risk. very attention was focused on to government centers between, in fact, december 20, 21 and january of this year. now he says, if we don't have a record of people coming into the country, we don't know who is threatened or who is threatening the detail was that and there were vulnerable people that they v. neil cause vulnerable people including children and women on their own. and when they arrived in dover, the way they were dealt with was unacceptable. he says that the home office has failed over the past 3 years to move from a crisis response to having better systems and procedures in place and treating this as business unusual. this is to do with things like a facilities for them are interpreters and just systems in place which are not, which are not simply crisis management. and,

and his report really says that it's time victim. the u. k. government got serious about accepting that these arrivals are going to continue. the number of boat arrivals or last year was around 20 and a half 1000 compared to 8 and a half 1000 in 2020. and of course, late last year there was an incident in which 27 people drowned to the government has been saying it's getting wants to get serious about tackling this problem. but this report is very embarrassing. and a dame, all of this runs alongside to the british government, extremely controversial plan to deport migrants turn to wander, who arrive or illegally to to the u. k. where are we with that plan? absolutely, they say this. rwanda plan, of course, a signed a deal wither a wandering government earlier this year. they say this is their way of tackling the people smugglers and stopping people from making that dangerous journey or their critic say, while they continue coming. if there are no legal roots, but anyhow, there was

a challenge in june when their flight was supposed the 1st flight was due to take off. of course, involving several charities, a public services union and individual term individual refugees. now just this week, a court has ruled that the judicial review into the whole legality of the scheme will now be postponed. so that they've said, but basically there will be 2 different challenges they will start in september, another one in october. now this is an embarrassment for the government these, this rwanda plan, let's not forget, is backed by both list truss and which he sudak who are competing to become the next prime minister of the u. k. and they've made it clear that they think this is a central plank of dealing with the problem of those small boats. so what's going to happen? well, there will be a cases brought by individual claimants as well. they'll be heard after the main cases by these charities and the union. and those groups have presented in the last

few days. evidence that rwanda was initially excluded from the short list of countries on human rights grounds, for example. so more and more credence being lends to what the united nation said in court hearing of you came jude, that they believe the scheme is fundamentally unlawful and impractical. that aim many thanks. a flash flooding has hit nigeria, northern jig, our states killing about 20 people more than 200 families, fled as the water levels rose, the flooding has submerged thousands of hank tasks of farmland. let's go to am, address now in the nigerian capital, a boucher and am it to how critical is the situation now? well from the north to the south of the country that im you are near you hear about up changing weather patterns are for example a stick for example legos. the coastal state in southern nigeria,

we spoke to official stay, who said that weather pattern there has changed dramatically. the raines this year started one month early and they expected to last the longer this year by 3 or 4 weeks instead of november, the res, i expected to end in december this year. so basically what we're seeing is changing weather patterns. ups up there in the north, you also hear about how rivers are swelling and in the coastal areas of the water levels are rising high, displacing communities, taking over farmlands and other our properties in the coastal regents of the south of the country. so they have been reported cases of debt sticks, for example. also in the north of the country are in berlin state where you see it, you hardly see a lot of rainfall that you see in lagos, all in the south of the country. dunwar witches are not far from my degree. the capital they have been, are cases of flooding damages to at least $300.00 houses there. and of course

damages to families and property. and this is coming at a time when the rains are really, really getting heavier and lasting longer than we've seen over the past few decades or so. then he, thanks i'm at, i'm it just center beach there. all right, time for the weather. now his rock, all the northern hemisphere appears to be suffering from extremely high temperature . the moment. is it just an impression? let's have a look. hamburg hit 40 degree and saxon is area of germany has never seen that before. that follows on from the u. k. record and we're looking maybe of sweden doing something similar. the heat wave in europe is just being edge slowly eastwards it stretches and sweden down to hungary during thursday. don't hang around hungry in italy in asia. well, catholics down hit the hottest on record in cars valley. there's no real reason why that temperature should change very much. the same is true throughout iran and into iraq, well above or it should be near record values in many places. china is gotten in during heat wave car in the warning is just south of shanghai temps. around about

40 degree mach 7 above average. that's quite a big departure from the normal on the other side of pacific. the one that's probably most well known the us, texas, oklahoma, been really, really hot. oklahoma city a new july reco than this part of texas. dalton, texas, 456, get wichita falls. it's july record as well. and this heat isn't going away. eventing, it's spreading out through the ohio valley of the next day or so. and look at the temperature in washington dc up to 35, maybe even 37 by saturday without 0 still ahead. the 1st time india has a tribal woman as president. we hear what it means for ethnic relations in the country. extreme drought and no, the mexico drives a worsening was a crisis in the city of monterey and his sport studding strike 2nd england in the semi finals of the women's european championship that's coming up itself.

ah, with some of the world's largest reserve needs yeah. provides much of the uranium that fuels year. it's nuclear power down. but at what cost people and power follows the uranium trail from the dead to the source of the mediterranean and investigates. the devastating effects on the planets and all those who inhabit the industries power. because of uranium pot tail on al jazeera lou, lou lou ah, wherever you go in the world,

one airline goes to make it for you. exceptional katara always going places to go. lou ah, you're watching al jazeera reminder of our top stories this out. it's elise prime minister maria drug. he has resigns. the president has asked dr. gay to stay on as a can't take a lead him. he won a confidence vote, but 3 parties in his coalition refused to participate. bravo, rick rema, singer has been sworn in sri lanka, president, despite opposition for the protest movement them forced his predecessor to step down. you, leader has vowed to take action against what he calls on democratic demonstrators.

osh flooding has killed about 20 people in nigeria, northern to go a stake over 200 families fled as the water levels rose, the flooding has merged thousands of act as a farmland. okay, well as returned to our top story, the resignation of the italian prime minister allan friedman is an author and journalist. he says there's a rocky road ahead in rome. the government that married a national, unique government and separate 2021. so about 16 months ago, always was meant to last about 2 years. and so the next election, next february or march that would have occurred normally friday, ironically had to support all the parties. the office already had the doors to policy. so they basically are made of excuses to bring them down as a matter of jealousy as

a matter for credit caching. other phone numbers i think now we'll see, you know, kind of an election where it's very likely that the leading party will be the post fascists never happened before. the g 7 countries that are post bachelor party takes over the government, backed by berlusconi. and it's going to be a mess because these people are incompetent with economic policy. they did a lot of damage. the populace over the last few years with under a pension reform and throwing money around. so i think unfortunately is going to fall from competent hands into incompetent, popular stance in the next few months. that's bad news and bad news for europe. for the 1st one is history. and it has like to tribal women as its president to party by who was the candidate of the governing b j. p. party. the opposition is large, the position rather is largely ceremonial in india. however, the president can play an important role in stealing the outcome after a closely contested election. poverty method is

a new deli with more the historic election lot, the more and more will be in just the 15th president. she is going to be the 2nd woman in this position and the 1st tribal person and a symbolic specially if you look at her political journey. it began in one of, in just most backward regions. she was a school teacher who eventually joined the part of the gentle party and throughout her journey she has, you know, has many offices. the most significant of these has been as governor of one of the 5 of the states that is childcare. and in that role, she sent back to boot post by her party. you would have given industry replied the lance. she said she needed to ensure the tribal rights were a priority. now the position off the president is largely ceremonial in

this case, or, you know, as is in all presidential elections in india, of members of parliament and state legislatures voted. in her case, many opposition parties supported her. now political commentators say that her election could inspire many women and men tribal people to enter the mainstream politics. a space where both groups are highly under represented. schools reopen the northeast and bangladesh after the worst floods in a century. but many people are still waiting for aid and don't have the money to rebuild the homes. so that region is one of the hardest hit areas. tanveer chowdhury is many of the families returned home only to find their homes totally damage. it's our pilled struggle. most have lost their life stalks. patty farms, pole trees. now we have gone across in different places, the same story,

but they're still happening to be at home. we accept the received any kind of help from the government or agencies that said very little, some drive forward in the beginning and little bit of cash from the government. it's gonna be a very difficult uphill battle for this families to rebuild our homes as the last everything, unless the government and aid agencies financially held them. it's a long road ahead for them. they will have to go far away to get fresh water because there's no tubes out of sorts of fresh water. most wants to start their life, but then helpless. they don't know how to do it because they don't have the money to rebuild at home. fixed the electrons already been built of that water point somewhere to get fresh water. so without some kind of held life is still very difficult for those millions of people got affected by the flood. in last month, the speakers, the u. s. house of representatives is expected to visit ty, one next month. move this be met with face criticism from china. nancy pelosi trip would make her one of the highest ranking american officials to visit the self

governing island in decades. beijing as warn washington and it will take forceful measures if the visit goes ahead. beijing consider taiwan. it, sovereign territory. bron hughes, a political commentator and founder of new blue magazine. he says there's a growing push from the u. s. to show support for taiwan. but the beijing will view policies visit is an escalation of tensions. so syncing timing up. but if a there has been increased international spotlight on taiwan as a result of for example of 19, but also i think he was trying attentions. and so under the jump ministration, but then also on the bottom ministration. one has seen more attention paid to title attempts to show support for top as a credit, for example, you are centers of the things i want to make vaccine donations. and so this would be another layer of isolation. having the u. s. peak of the house, the visits i want. i interesting timing of the original timing of the chart there is a is really plan to take place in april. then pelosi contract that coven 19 was unable to think that would have been after the ukraine agent. and so that would have been

attempting to reassure prior, but now months later, i think that the timing has changed. so that is why we see these comments, right? there has been a lot of state from aging in regards to when the us politicians visit at and t for some time. oftentimes it's extra place in the form of air incursions into towns, air defense issues is on in which aeroplanes identify themselves. and so there are fears on that china potentially escalate off example. there's discussion of china. ready and preparing a 2 actions in $1090.00 regarding the challenge to its prices. a person i think that is a little bit overblown is not to that point yet. it is possible, but then that same time one knows that there's been a lot of things i'm trying to fight. there are outbreaks of coven 19 being to lock is seeking on president a 3rd term at the 20th national congress later this year. but perhaps need stability in order for that to happen. now, india has signed a deal to bring the worlds fastest land animals back. well the 70 years after they were declared extinct. the maybe is sending 8 cheaters to india under the deal

talks also underway with south africa to supply more of the animals. the cheat to this will be taken to a wildlife sanctuary in central india, where they would be put into a captive breeding program. it used to have a sciatic cheaters, but the species was officially declared extinct in 1952 is thought the last 3 of them were killed in the 1940 s. okay, will let sir brigand, laurie walker the from the cheetah conservation fun to join me from all you were on go in the media. welcome to the news hour. so the 1st, i think, obvious question is so when would she to us last seen in the wild and india and why now is it time to bring them back? well, that's a great question now that she didn't spend extinct since the early 19 fifties. and i had thought maybe a couple of stragglers around, but that's the date that it was considered to be extinct. and why now i think since that extinction, the government has been looking at the possibilities of bringing the animal act. ah,

it bringing animals back from extinction is not an easy job and it takes a lot of international cooperation and working together with a variety of scientists as well to figure out the best way to go about this. i will factors led to that demise in the 1st place in india. and the main problems had been that of huntington 19 fifties and before it was still very, very active. as a country where hunting was done, i am in prior to that the numbers kept declining. i mainly because they were used as a sub, a animal for the sport of horsey where that she has her actually brought in and kept for hunting parties. they would use that she actually, she's gone, chase animals out, that she does an animal that does breed well in captivity. and so they actually fin

the animals down as using it as a hunting companion. so it's has a long history of the problems that of affected it. and that really has to do with the fact that it is an easy animal to actually work around. it's not address dangerous. that has been revered by kings emperors and princes for over a 1000 years, and many of them use them as a country. and why is why have i onto imagine anybody using a cheat was a hunting companion these days? but, but is this the same species that was originally based in india, the one that's being brought form of those places in africa? well, they're all in one species. they only have shita. that sheet is very unique because it's only species within it's gina switches asked and audits. and so that she actually had almost world wide distribution up until about 5010000 years ago.

and over the last, really 100 years, we've seen the decline of the population throughout the majority of its rage. and india and asia were one of the last places where the chito was found and has gone, extend it just in the last you know, 50 to 70 years of course. so the relationship between man and wild animals living side by side doesn't always go according to plan. what happens. one of the biggest concerns about re introducing a large predator like the chita into, into sort of close to urban areas or into ecosystems even well, the areas where the chito will be re introduced her same areas that have been where animals like lambert's tigers alliance are living and so the to cheated also some areas is living in the same way here in africa, although doesn't have tigers. so they, it is, is not that much of

a difference where already the people in india are living with many of the large make a father. and it is an interesting country because it's still a country that actually has a, a wild populations to living with people. and the people are, and the animals have learned to live together. although these animals are going to be in national parks, they are not going into breeding programs like you had said at the beginning of the program. these are wild animals that will be going into the wild to re establish a wild population within the country. where wishing you the greatest of luck with the conservation program, a laurie marker executive director of cheese conservation fund. joining us from o. g rango in namibia many thanks. thank you. now, columbia's new congress has been sworn in for the 1st time i left his coalition
