ing paleface is the rise of citizen journalism has changed everything. how do happen? it happened on social media and the undeniable impact of the mainstream narrative that's fairly and went to the pole with those images front of mine is a war. it's very much game for it's out in the media as well on the battlefield. they're listening post. dissect the media on al jazeera. we tell the untold stories we speak when others stud, ah, we cover all sides no matter where it takes us. a fear, sir, god, with my eyes and power and pasha, we tell your stories. we are your voice, your news, your net, al jazeera, ah van

mas military john to executes for pro democracy activists, sparking international condemnation. ah, oh, i'm adrian finnegan. this is al jazeera live from doha. also coming up, the new leader of the philippines delivers his 1st state of the nation address. we'll live in manila. polls are open and should is. he has constitutional referendum as president. i sighed, looks to further extend his powers and the largest active wildfire in the us spreads rapidly. dear yosemite national park, forcing thousands to flee. the hopes beyond most military gentle has executed for pro democracy activists. it's the 1st time the capital punishment has been used publicly in the country for decades. among the

dead as a formal legislator from all sans through cheese party at a pro democracy activist, tourney chang reports. he was known to many as could jimmy. and he knew the cost of standing up to mamma's military, german u. a veteran pro democracy activist had already spent 15 years in prison, protesting against previous military regimes. even though he had been found guilty on counter terrorism challenges in january, you expected the death sentence to be carried out. oh, when we saw this news be, will harry sab? actually that don't, i shouldn't have done this single. it should not happen. this is like the tune, taste, officially challenging to public. there was no, you're not, he was there tall. another of those executed was a prominent norm maker that had been an m p, an uncensored cheese national league for democracy. since 2012. a former hip hop artists become the face of a youth movement,

came to power in the 1st democratic elections a decade ago. the executions of the 1st amendment since 1989 and a thought to have taken place at insane prison and young gone. where relatives tried to reclaim the bodies of the dead. men on monday, calls for clemency from other southeast asian nations, including a letter written personally to john to lee the men on live by cambodian prime minister on san have clearly had little impact gather. this is sending a message to them. young people 1st and foremost, are to try to intimidate them, but it's also, ah backhanded way of a min online, telling us he on that. but out that they don't want advice from us. young, they just want asi and to serve as a shield, and all the protests against the military government are unlikely to stop. like this flash mob, opposing the death sentences. rights groups estimate more than 2000 people. the been killed by the military since the coo,

yet the protest has shown no sign of backing down. tony cheng elders are the president of the philippines sorted on macos judy up is making his 1st state of the nation address, the son of a former dictator. with us said that a food of fuel prices a soaring in the philippines and poverty is increased due to corona virus. the president who won a landslide election in may force faced protests in the streets while giving his speech, macos used to speech, to promised tax reform that he says will bring more money to the people. well, some of our country must become an investment destination. capitalizing on the corporate recovery and ducks, incentives for enterprises. so the create law and economic liberalization laws such as the public service and the foreign investments that live to manila out as his bond below. is that what else did we hear from the new president barnaby?

for adrian, as you heard there, this speech has so far been about the economy, the economy, the economy, economy reform. you heard there tax reform incentives for in investors. but one of the most significant things in this speech has been the agricultural sector. the president himself has appointed himself as the agricultural secretary. and he said that one of the long landmark programs for the agricultural sector is going to be the land distribution program for the beneficiaries of the agrarian reform program, which has been effect in effect for years now. but it hasn't been completed. so his target is to be able to complete this land distribution program, and when he distributes this these land to the beneficiaries, they won't have to pay a single cent for these lands. he also promised the financial and technical

assistance for farmers. and he said that for the meantime, there will be no interest payments on the financial assistance. now, i want to bring you to one of the moments where there was a standing ovation, and there was a long moment where the audience was clapping. this was when the president mentioned that he would expand health services to the provinces. harking back to the time of his father, the late dictator president ferdinand marcus senior. when in the seventy's in, in the eighty's, he established a national kidney transplant institute to heart center. the long center and these were established here in metro manila. now he said that these need to be expanded outside of metro manila to be able to battle coby 19 as well as

other diseases. and so he said that best strengthening the, the health program off the country. this will help enable the philippines to get out of the pandemic and then bring economic recovery. he also mentioned that to strengthen the education sector. the philippines has been lagging in that regard . and so he said that there is a need to improve the employability of filipino students to strengthen the science technology and engineering and math subjects in the country. and then he also mentioned that he would like to build nuclear power plants. there is actually a nuclear power plant that was built by his father, but this has not been in use was never used. and so this is quite a controversial issue. restarting this nuclear power plant and building more nuclear power plants. so what's likely to be the reaction of his critics to all of this? well,

it's hard to see right now what would be the reaction from his critics because the speech is still ongoing. critics wanted him to mentioned concrete steps with regards to how he would solve the economic crisis in the health crisis. and so far, he's laid out some concrete steps. and so that is something that the critics would be pleased with. but the critics, especially the protesters, will gather and not far away from the house of representatives where he delivered his speech right now. earlier in the day, they wanted to hear from him how he would attract the human rights situation in the country. there were human rights victims in the crowd of protesters earlier in the day, the victims of his father's regime, the 21 year dictatorship. and so they would like to hear from him how he plans to

put closure to their cry for justice. and then of course, the human rights allegations during the time of president would be good to turn to which we know waged a bloody war and drugs. adrian barnaby low reporting like that from banana barnaby . many thanks. india has sworn in its 15th precedence at a high level event in new delhi to potty. mamma is the 2nd woman to ever hold the ceremonial ro, also the 1st person from a tribal community to be off of the post. she replaces rum, not cold in a cell, a member of the governing b, j, p life, the new delhi to serious pump. the metal is that for us probably tell us something about the community for which that he, president is from. and why hope presidency is significant. for it, it's a historic and highly symbolic presidency to offer the more and more represents 2

groups set up under represented and mainstream politics. she's the 2nd woman and 1st tribal person to be elected to the highest office in the land. now, by the 100000000 people in india identify as part of tribal communities, these are indigenous groups that are on the margins of indian society politically, economically and socially. and probably more and more comes from one of the largest of these communities. and today is a proud and important day for them. since i lecture last week, there have been many celebrations, particularly in tribal, best across the country. what also significant is, you know, if you look at drop the moves political johnny know she's had many offices. most significant of these has been governor off the state of char current, which is one of india tribal states. now in that role, she challenged to boost proposed by her own party, the b j. p, because she believed that they could violate fiber rights. in fact,

earlier in house wearing. and so many she alluded to the historic nature of a presidency. she said that she hopes that millions of people in india, women, tribal people, and other people on the margins of in society could see their reflection in her success. and does the president appointment old, any political significance well, and the significance of this and the impact of this politically will be limited. that's because the role of the president is largely ceremonial in india. the red powers in india all with the prime minister and his cabinet. now the b j. b does hope to score some brownie points on b. j. b leaders have been holding rallies in tribal, best in the state of good job. 6 particularly the state of good job is heading into elections venture this year, but i'm gonna say that the impact of that will be limited. this is largely being seen as is significant move up politically and the sense of the message it sends

out. analysts believe that this could inspire many women and people from tribe of communities to enter and possibly dream big when it comes to making it into politics. i'll just here is probably natal reporting live that from new delhi. probably many thanks. and date ukraine's president says that his soldiers starting a counter offensive against moscow's forces, philippines. lensky says that his army is advancing towards washing occupied territory in the south and east, on the zeros john henry reports from cave, ukrainian forces leave an important bridge in the strategic city of harrison pockmarked, but still standing on leave the woodland. yo, but perhaps not for long. this soldier says they are out gun by powerful russian artillery, but determined as soon were visible and said thoughtful, we will liberate chris on. that's for sure. we would not give it away to the

watch the watcher. we believe that a deep sleep with lou. ah, hello, get here with us here. let's remind you of the main news this i'll be on lost for the, for each them to has executed full pro democracy activists. it wants believe to be the 1st use of capital punishment and decades. the u. n. a special report who has

called it a depraved act. the president of the philippines voted on micro studio, is making his 1st state of the nation address. because julia is using the speech to promised tax reforms that he says will bring more money to the masses. of india has sworn and its 15th president at a high profile event in new delhi to potty mobile is the 2nd woman on 1st person from a tribal community to hold the largely ceremonial holding stations rope and across to nicea proposed on a draft constitution which opponents criticized as an attempt to return to one man ruled president chi isiah says that his changes have been necessary to reign in a corrupt political elite. people opposed to the proposed changes say that they'll boycott the vote. well, here's how it is yet got here at the arab spring, began there in 2011 when protest against unemployment wising, food prices forced out, then president in albany and ben ali that sparked

a series of uprisings across the middle east and north africa, that toppled several lead us shanicea implemented democratic reforms with a parliamentary system and an independent judiciary. but more than a decade later today, he ends up being asked to vote on a constitution that centralize his power in the hands of the president life, the tunis. and as he evoked men who said that for us, it is yet why then remind us, ought you, does he ins voting today? a kind sides. the president has written a new constitution. last year he sat for government and he suspended parliament after a popular protest demanded that he intervened in the political chaos. but after that he decided to ru, by presidential decree, and later proposed that what she, she needed was a new constitution. but the constitution that he's written basically concentrates all powers the state in his hands say executive,

legislative and judiciary. so what people are voting on today is as a change of system effectively. so he's proposing a hyper presidential system as opposed to the hybrid parliamentary jo, beth democracy that we've seen since 2014. is it possible at this stage to gauge turn out given that so many people are on the happy with this vote and that the opposition is urged people to boycott it. well we've, what we're seeing here, we're in a popular neighborhoods in the capital routine is called been had that there is a, as a steady stream of people, but it is more of a trickle it's, it's not a, the sort of a mass turner that we would expect during a general election, there's also been 2 days of voting for to an agency live overseas. and the tenants been very, very low. i mean, it is the sort of 1st 2 days of these overseas votes,

but they're gonna lose like 4.5 percent. whereas during the, the general election, it was that around 7 percent this, that same time. and a lot of people that i've been talking to either the, that not necessarily actively boy cutting the chest disinterested. they don't believe that voting will change anything. a lot of people think this is just a dumb deal and it will go through and i think it's just another basic political theater. a but then there where we're hearing that actually. yeah, you, some people all deciding to use their vote and vote know what we're saying here today. and in other polling stations dominance, you know, you might have people who are coming to vouch. oh, the elderly people in their sort of 60 seventy's and eighty's. they say that they're voting yes. the old voting for chi psi age is those sort of a confidence votes. they're here, you to vote, to support him. elizabeth elko, nevada combivent, his revealed how they voted. sorry,

a 1000 arrived in italy with an hours many are from afghanistan, pakistan to dan, ethiopia, and somalia. basically, european states, a dedicated thing, all of their efforts in stopping people from making their way to european shores. and so it's a policy of exclusion and isolation. the islands reception center has a capacity for 300 people, but 3 times as many migrants are there. the influx comes as italy, gears up for early elections, which could bring hard right politicians to power. oh, the united nation says more than $30000.00 migrants and refugees have arrived in italy by c this year. and more than 1200 have reportedly died attempting to reach europe. katya lopez, civilian de 0, brazil's president jaya balsa. laura has lost his reelection campaign,

but faces on uphill battle. he's trailing at the poles behind his main rival for left his former president, luis, ignacio luna. the silver ball scenario was criticized for his handling of the pandemic. brazil has the world's 2nd highest death toll parker again ikea for port style from rio. ah, thousands of supporters lined up in front of this gym next to rio de janeiro iconic modicum of football stadium and i saw her inside crowds wearing the colors of the brazilian flag. cheer for president shibel sonata, calling him the messiah in the mid. oh, bulls are not his wife, michelle and ivan jellicoe christian spoke 1st. she made an emotional appeal, especially to women, given the president needs more of their votes. if he's going to be returned to the

top job, she reminded them of the attempt on bull sonatas. life during the 2018 campaign saying he'd survived to free the country. no, i always tell him jew, my son is balsam. nora do not be afraid. you have been chosen by god, both on out of been spoke but made no reference to guns or his unfounded accusations. that the electronic voting system is unreliable. he has been criticized in brazil and abroad for repeatedly, claiming that the october elections could be easily rigged. experts say he is following former you as president donald trump by alleging fraud to justify what may become an eventual defeat. oh, so out of supporters here, i strongly confident that he will be re elected, but paused, show him trailing behind former president who is in us ruler the seal. earlier this week, former president lula, the silver was officially nominated candidate by the left wing workers party.

according to recent polls, he has the support of more than 40 percent of voters. ah, bill sonata remains in 2nd place with more than 30 percent. but it's too soon to predict an outcome. as bull sonata has just approved, an emergency aid package allow bring him to spend $7600000000.00 until december. when his term ends. monica, and i give, i'll jazeera rio de janeiro. the head of the roman catholic church is in canada to apologize in person for the role the church played and wanting residential schools for indigenous children. hope francis is in the city of edmonton forties, cooling his pilgrimage of penance. well that a $150000.00 children were forcibly removed from their families and sent to schools where many faced years of abused abuse rather will some 1st nation leaders say that they feel excluded from the pope's trip to canada. i think the visit is long

overdue. maybe something has to happen many, many years ago. maybe the start of reconciliation would have started again, that's a part of the problem we've had with the church is that they have not been really including us in the proper planning of this process. it's been very unilateral and we don't feel that it has been about survivors. it has been more about the church. danielle morrison is a lawyer, an advocate for survivors. she says an admission of guilt from the catholic church, rather than an apology is what's needed. my dad was 6 years old when he went to residential school and i have a 8 year old daughter and i look at her and bake how devastating it would be to be separated from my, my child at that age, or at any age really. and there really is no way finding through this. it's been a difficult journey for many and it's triggering it deeply,

deeply. traumatizing catholic church was the biggest church that was partaking, and all the reading of the residential schools. and they were the only school that didn't pay money that was promised to survivors. there are a large number of records that have yet to be released when it comes to abuse claim . and this puts a big barrier in the way of the healing for many survivors. who were abused and residential schools, and i mean, i understand why there is no admitting that guilt because it would open them up for a liability and international war crimes. essentially, i understand a lot of the legal complexities that come with looking at residential school as an active genocide and an apology for me is never going to be enough because how do you apologized for genocide if you can even admit it had actually occurred

a large wildfire in california is spreading towards yosemite national park. the oak fall started on friday, and it's been triple than $6000.00 hector as of land. thousands of people have had to see the homes. johnson pierce is with the california department of forestry and fire protection. he says the oak file is still 0 percent contained, but that could be a glimmer of hope. that being said, today, the fire behavior was not as extreme as it has been in past days and the firefighters were able to make pretty good headway and they were able to hold the fire on the east side. this fire continues to be mostly to rain and seal driven in areas where it's appropriate to do so, damage inspection teams that begun their assessments. this, this fire. when it started, we were able to send the sources right away. ne, county sure, issued the evacuation orders and some parts of the area and those were

conducted as they were supposed to be. and the resources responding we're able to get there very quickly. right now the state of california has record resources for the uptake and fire activity. so especially with this fire, we're able to get lots of resources there today. and today we are able to surpass over 2000 personnel animals. so those who in china is going to show city of playing it cool with a heat wave sweeping across the region giant panders as well as koala bears have been given blocks of ice to play with. so keep visible, so installed fans around trees to keep away the heat. and hippos and tape is a being fed watermelon, to keep them hydrated in the southern hemisphere, where of course, it's winter. some spectacular pictures from australia. this is sydney shouted an early morning fog and while some were able to enjoy the view, others faced travel delays of the cities airport. the fog eventually cleared by mid
