5:02 pm
time capital punishment has been used for decades. a former legislative from unsung through cheese party was among those who were killed. pi chang has more. he was known to many as co, jimmy. and he knew the cost of standing up to me. i must military german, you 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 very sab, actually that don't, i shouldn't have done this. it should not happen. this is like the twenty's officially challenging to publicly, no, not present tall. another of those executed was a prominent nor maker that had been an m p and uncensored cheese national league for democracy. since 2012, a former hip hop artist become the face of a youth movement came to power in the 1st democratic elections
5:03 pm
a decade ago. the executions of the 1st amendment since 1989 and a thought to have taken place at insane prison in yan gone. where relatives tried to reclaim the bodies of the dead men on monday. cool to clemency from other southeast asian nations, including a letter written personally to john to lee the men on lie by cambodian prime minister hon. send. have clearly had little impact together. this is sending a message to them young people, 1st and foremost, to try to intimidate them. but it's also a backhanded way of a min online telling asi on that. but out that they don't want advice from asi on, they just want asi and to serve as a shield. oh, the protests against the military government are unlikely to stone. like this flash mob, opposing the death sentences. rights groups estimate more than 2000 people. have been killed by the military since the coo. yet the protest has shown no sign of
5:04 pm
backing down. tony chang elder sir. tom andrews is the un special rapid tor on human rights and me in law. he says the executions upon of a wide, a pattern of brutality. i think what we're seeing now is the fact that there is no limit to the depth of the depravity. ready of the sub military, thousands of people have been killed. many thousands have been arbitrarily detained . one more than $140.00 or on death row. we know that $61.00 children are being held hostage by the regime so that their parents, family members will come out of hiding. 142 children have been tortured by the regime. so this is a horrific, horrific situation that just adds even more fuel to the anger of felt by the people of me. and i think it in the intent is to instill even greater fear in the population of me and mar, hunter is despised by, by most they're deeply unpopular. and so they're trying to demonstrate just the
5:05 pm
links to which they're willing to go to, to, to hold on to whatever a power they might have. my gut feeling is that this is going to have just the opposite effect. i think it's going to ignite, even more anger, more outburst, greater violence and increase to the conflict. people are fed up in the, in more their outraged and i think this is going to push that outrage even further . so i think what we're going to see is an escalation of, of the conflict in the violence, and the hunter is going to find that the impact is going to be just the opposite of what of what is intended. ah, grain says it's aiming to send it 1st shipment of grain this week under a un broken deal with russia. announcement is providing hopes of eating global food, which is caused by the conflict. the agreement has been thrown into doubt since and
5:06 pm
miss alice tried my russian forces on the point of odessa on saturday, laska says the deal to resume shipments from black. c port still stands. foreign minister sir g, a lab. ralph, who's on an african toy, says there are no barriers to grain exports, but he says there's nothing in the agreement that prevented russia from attacking military infrastructure. john henry has more from keith. well, the infrastructure minister for ukraine says the 1st shipments will come out of the churn, moore's port on the black sea. this week, he hopes to have shipments out of all 3 ports on the black sea by next week. that includes the port at odessa that was struck on saturday by russian forces. they say they struck to what they call legitimate military targets. one a warship. the other one, a storage facility for american made missiles, but elaborate the foreign minister of russia said that there is no bar to the grain being shipped out. this is tons and tons of ukrainian grain that has been held in
5:07 pm
these ports, potentially causing a world food shortage because it has been too unsafe for them to ship that grain out. well, now they've got this agreement with russia for safe channels to take that grain away, but loaded. here's the landscape. the president of ukraine has said that you can't trust russia to do this. and in fact, a lab, rob did warn that they can still strike legitimate military targets. what that means is there could still be disputes in which the russians are striking those ports and that could indeed cause problems with that grain. but right now, both sides say that deal is going through and there is no limit to the amount of grain that can be shipped out of those 3 ports. at least a 1000000 people have cast their ballots so far at polling stations across to near for a vote on the draft constitution. opponents have criticized it as an attempt to return to one man role. president guy aside says his changes have been necessary to rein in a corrupt political elite. people opposed to the proposed changes say they will boycott

5:09 pm
all very keen for this constitution to be pushed through. they're saying they're waiting for him to make radical changes to improve the country, which is still embroiled in a terrible economic crisis. his detractors, however, say that this constitution is the constitution taking tunisia back to dictatorship . so the choices today are either yes for the new constitution and what kind of side calls the 3rd republic at a new beginning? or it's no to the constitution, but people don't know what's going to happen. the no votes as the saying no, because they definitely do not want to go back to the bad old days of dictatorship and they do not want the dreams of the arab spring to die. india has sworn in its 15th president at a high level event in new delhi through party mom who is the 2nd woman to ever hold
5:10 pm
the ceremonial role. and also the 1st person from a tribal community to be offered, the post she replaces at rom, north covens, a fellow member of the governing b, j. p. have natal, has more from new delhi. it's a very historic and highly symbolic dating in politics, particularly for people who don't necessarily see them says represented at the highest level drop would be more, more is in just 2nd female and 1st tribe with us in to be less to the highest office of the live now about 100000000 people in india identifies lots of tribal communities, largely indigenous people, indigenous groups that are on the margins of society. and i mean that politically, economically and socially and probably more will come from one of the largest off the tribal community. and today is a big important day. we feel celebration since the day she's been elected, particularly in tribal. beth was also important to note is that more is

5:12 pm
prepare people for the possibility of an attack onto one side. only reason i had just stopped the traffic lights when police asked me to come to the subway station to hide away because of the drill. china seas time one as a breakaway province and has not ruled out using force to take the island. the russian invasion of ukraine has made tie one more nervous, and the government has raised its let never, you see just the way the, the drills are for the events that might happen, such as war. so i think that these exercises are necessary so that everyone knows what we have to do in case there was a situation. does that mean this? yeah, these drills coincides with china's stern warning to the us about how speak a nancy pelosi is possible visit to tie one to watching t. it also says john has made it clear to the earth on many occasions. i say that it is firmly opposed to speak,

5:14 pm
easing over towards the yellow sea using over to ward shanghai, la larry of low pressure, bringing some foundry down, pause across a central areas farther south. he might catch a shower or 2 down towards the se, but trip the now that he continues here and temperatures still getting up into the high thirty's, if not touching 40 degrees celsius over the next few days. so no real let up in conditions. it is going to be decidedly uncomfortable where to whether they're a little further north, some heavy down paul, some thundershowers large, higher. the full summer shebang really going on here. that could lead to some localized flooding from time to time on and off bits and pieces, a shabby rain. they're coming in to the korean peninsula and also into japan tokyo around $31.00 celsius scattering a showers to him, as usual across a southeast asia. perhaps a little wetter over towards sir, sir marcher, malaysia, seeing more the way of heavy showers over the next hour. so, but we are still sees the big down post i, which was at east the side of indonesia in the are still seeing breakdown pause as
5:15 pm
well. habeas rain up towards our multiple dash, pushing up towards rudder star. plenty, a shower coming at pakistan over the next couple of days with the likelihood of flooding. ah, talk to al jazeera, we ask a will be more specific. how many jobs are you asking for? and what kind of military equipment we listened, asked the people of cuba industry. if there is a difference between donald trump and you'll bite for them. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on our sierra. ah, holding the powerful to account as we examine the us this role in the world's own al jazeera. ah
5:16 pm
oh, you're watching out, is there a reminder that top stories this hour me in mars, military, you into has executed for pro democracy activists and what's believe to be the 1st use of capital punishment and decades. the un special repertoire has called it a depraved act. ukraine says it's aiming to send its 1st shipment of grain this week under a un broke of deal with russia. the announcement is reviving, hopes of easing global food charge is caused by the conflicts holding stations are open across to louisiana for a vote on a draft constitution which opponents criticized as an attempt to return to one man will president chi aside says his changes have been necessary to reign in a corrupt political elite. i can speak now to restore sir dar, who was i for us in tunis, russell as to what's the latest them with the vote?
5:17 pm
well, their policy, she's got open running the mornings at 6 am in the morning and since dan on people started to cancel the war still showed up to the stations, the boxes are going to get close by 10 pm local time here. so, so far we have seen that there are heavy security measures all across the country. paul is army, including the counter terrorism units are being, are being deployed. there are more than 5000 local observer and more than 120 international observers over there earlier today. i was talking to the international observers and that they were, they were telling me that many of them are being stopped from getting into their da da pulling stations, which is something that raises the questions about the, the, the security and also that the transparency of this water system, as of now, the turnout is around 12 percent,
5:18 pm
which means that 1000000 people sure for how how can so that they, they have war so the turnout is going to be a key issue to these hold a referendum considering that the, that the, the turn out in the $22019.00 during the presidential election was more than 50 percent. so this turned out so far seems a low and, and experts are seeing that the terminal is going to be critically important for both sides. for both present case said and also the position because this is being seen as a what of confidence for the for president case i so it has been quite a rush job. only 3 weeks or did the campaign for whole of these are, these are constitutional referendum process. and that the critics are seen that it was designed to be like that, that the public doesn't have a proper discussion and debate about what it's really bringing. and what is going
5:19 pm
to to and, and also another observation that they have seen that particularly early in the morning. those who were casting their boss were mostly belong to the, the, of the, all the generations or the, or the all the other elderly people. but however, tonight, by 10 pm, we're going to see whether the turnout is going to be high and whether present cry site is going to get the water with the did the yes was for the constitution that she wants to pass. i so that are their life, i think in a thank you. protest is in democratic republic of congo have attacked the headquarters of the un mission. there happened in the capital of north keyvi problems. coma police use tear gas and live bullet to disperse the crowd. at least one person was shot, demonstrated calling on the un mission to leave the country thing its presence is ineffective. malcolm, which is covering the story from nairobi, malcolm wide to protest in the field. the un has been ineffective.
5:20 pm
the protest to see the un peacekeepers. he's been in congress more than 20 years, having failed to protect them, particularly in the context of ongoing fighting between the m $23.00 rebel group, which is widely believed to be a proxy of wanda and congress own army in towns and villages just further to the north of my people's rights groups on the population of reason, we also express anger rwanda, which they blame for this conflict. and also their own government, which they see is having failed to protect people. but this protest against the un follows the president of con, goes senate speaking last week, being very critical of the un failing to protect people and the un complained congress government has fermented this anger. and certainly it makes things a bit easier for the government if they can deflect the heat from themselves and point the finger at the un now come what?
5:21 pm
so like this, then in the conflicts even right to, to just put out report, they say to 29 villages have been executed by am 23 possibly with rwandan support in the last few weeks. they say that this is a war crime and it's exactly the kind of behavior that we saw from m $23.00 when it was accused of being backed by wonder and took out of its ways of eastern congo 10 years ago. we were there time. and when and $23.00 retreated, we found their executed prisoners tied up and shot dead. this is what human rights watch is still says he still is going on now. 10 years later now, 10 years ago when congress government did successfully flush the group back to the border with rwanda and you gotten there, it was with substantial foreign support at the time. but this time, the seems to be much less international interest and no additional funds for
5:22 pm
congress me. and they struggled to contain these attacks. they accused wonder of being behind it with everyone to deny that i malcolm web. thank you. the head of the roman catholic church is in canada to apologize in person for the role the church played in running residential school for indigenous children. pipe. francis is in the city of edmonton. he's calling his pilgrimage of penance, while the 150000 indigenous children were forcibly removed from their families, consent to schools where many faced years of abuse. j gray from n b. c. news has more from edmonton. hope francis has now officially begun what he's labeled his pilgrimage of penance. 6 days here in candidate publicly apologizing for transgressions carried out by catholic missionaries during colonization. he will start to day with a public apology for atrocities that include both physical and
5:23 pm
sexual abuse by catholic missionaries as well as assimilation and cultural genocide. many more than a 100000 canadian indigenous children pulled from their families and moved into these residential schools. this 6 day trip will take him to several areas where he will make this apology one that for decades, indigenous leaders have urged the vatican to make. and this year, many of those leaders traveling to rome to tell the pope in person that it needed to be done here on canadian soil. his schedule will include significant down time of for rest. of course, the pope making this trip after canceling a trip just last month to the congo and south sudan because of mobility health issues that continue to plague upon. if he does say that he felt it was crucial
5:24 pm
that he'd be here and, and that's why he's made the trip. it will include a public mass to morrow, here in edmonton. but again, all of those public appearances will last perhaps an hour, maybe an hour and a half at the most, and they will be broken up by times for him to get some rest. i tested the game strategy concentration and no certainly non violence. but in russia, a 7 year old boy competing in a tournament, had his fingers broken. and this was his opponent around that didn't seem to enjoy the child's swift claim. as the boy makes his move, the robot immediately snatches his finger, in fact as it by stand his hand to russian to free him. he played the following day in a cast, organize the se. the incident happened by coincidence that led to the base about the safety of human robot interactions. mark einstein is a specialist in artificial intelligence. he says the robot probably made
5:25 pm
a mistake and registered voice thinking as chess piece. this chest playing robotic arm is actually very similar to the kind of an industrial robot that you would find in a factory. so they're actually very powerful on so the fact it was able to, to break this child's finger doesn't surprise me. but when a robot makes a move, it needs between one to 3 seconds to process the image of the piece and make that move. and really what i think happened is that child's finger looked very similar to a chest piece, a queen or a bishop on the child kept his hand there. and that's why this unfortunate accident happened. you know, the fact that a, i is even moving into a child's test tournament to shows how this technology is, is now creating, citing, and you know, this was, you know, quite a serious accident. but, you know, we're also gonna have software which is with our remote control autonomous cars and drones and factories and everywhere we're a, i goes,
5:26 pm
there are going to be software glitches. and so this raises the question, you know, do we need to have some kind of, you know, a, i standardization, do we need to have some kind of regulation to ensure the public safety going forward? a large wildfire in california is spreading towards yosemite national park. the oak fire started on friday and then through more than 6000 hectares of land and thousands of people had to flee their homes. jonathan pass is with the california department of forestry and fire protection. he says the oak fire is still not contained, but it 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 is fire continues to be mostly to rain and seal driven in areas where it's appropriate to do so. the damage inspection teams have begun their assessments. this, this fire. when it started,
5:27 pm
we were able to send the sources right away. ne, county sheriff issued the evacuation orders in 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're able to pass over 3000 personnel. many of the genes rugby players have gone on to achieve international thought of bots. much of the sands i was trained on has since disappeared because of climate change to the wolf has this report by me to j, one of these children and listened intently to what the head model number to cooler village has to say. jose bought a nuggets cooler, says he fears the next generation won't be able to cold. his place, their home,
5:28 pm
the hub is being moved to another say it color is going to be a deal from the lifestyle or together. maybe when we move to another said, maybe we want to move with a new culture. so we're going to lose our culture. fiji declared a climate emergency last year with a small village on the islands coral coast deemed at brisk. rising sea levels mean the 600 people who live here may have to relocate inland or to a higher ground. but the community is determined to stay put to protect our homes, ancestral history and culture which has produced an unprecedented number of international sport stars. as contributed so much, not only for leisure sports, but for we cannot make attributes very just. and social development, you know, are part of our fiji soft, unpredictable and exciting style play is said to be deeply rooted in the islands
5:29 pm
cultural morrow of vacuum for now, which means the way of the land, some se, playing on these beaches is what sets them apart but what was once a training ground for aspiring rugby players has now been washed away. the places where they used to play red b doesn't normally sandy beaches for about 100 meters and 50 meters. right normally you would please. yeah, i came across it during the time that we played those b just but today it's gone. because of this climate change, an increase in sea level rugby is a national session. in fiji, nearly 10 percent of the island nation's $900000.00 people are registered rugby players, one of the highest per capita in the world. but rugby is more than just a game here. it's a way for men and women to earn a living wage. climate change is expected to displace nearly 1700000 people across pacific islands in the next 30 years. and for many fijians,
5:30 pm
the risk of losing their ancestral lands would be too much to bear with us. legal was more legions you this? because as jose bought a nuggets, a kula says, there really is no place like home joy, how many of us are on the wall? the trying to keep cool in the heat right now? and so our animals that china's grand just city zoom ah, with a heat wave sweeping across the region. the giant pond is there have been given blocks of ice to play with that are look to bother though they do they 0 campus have also installed fans around trees to keep away the heat. and the co wall is there, and bears hippos and tapers are being fed water melon to keep them hydrated. there is a huge hipaa, fun fact. i only just found out when a tape here.
