12:07 am
now relatives of murdered al jazeera journalist, rena barclay have met with the you, a sub tree of state in washington to demand accountability. fire. death sharing was shot in the head, buys railey forces while on a simon in jeanine algiers. chaper tansy met with sharon's niece, lena barclay, who spoke about what was discussed during that meeting with antony blinking. we continued to reiterate our demands and i were concerned, especially regarding the 4th of july statement that was released. it was not an investigation and we express how damaging it was to the truth and to all the multiple reports that were released ah, by respect of news outlet and most importantly by the u. n. o, we clearly demanded an independent and a transparent investigation by the u. s. considering that cheating was an american citizen. we also asked for accountability and the justice wasn't really
12:08 am
acknowledgment there about how absurd it seemed. when the u. s. government said that they couldn't make any definitive judgment about who killed shriek, and yet they decided it wasn't dumb on caucus. by the idea of was, was that contradiction discourse perhaps what we asked for them to retract or to correct the statement of considering the fact that it lacked the evidence, it lack transparency and the, until today we were never aware of how the process wind and the secretary blink and he, he said he's committed to providing us transparency moving forward with any process that involves the case of shooting. or is there a time long though as to are they gonna furnished information as to exactly what role that, how that means investigation was, and whether they really went forensically over the evidence. so there was no timeline. no, we were not given a deadline as to when we would receive information. we will continue to ask for
12:09 am
accountability for you as lead investigation that is transparent and independent because that statement was not an investigation. we weren't the only ones who are not satisfied, but even us senators. and members of congress expressed that in a letter they sent us to the, to the president. so we are expecting an independent investigation and justice for shit in but finally, do you think they're taking this seriously or is this now a public relations exercise? they've decided they're not going to make these ready is uncomfortable in any way. i'm just trying to get through this for now. well, we are hoping that this is taken seriously. oh, we are hoping to see meaningful action and not just statements, but we want to see action. we want to see accountability. so we can prevent this from happening to other american palestinian citizens or palestinians in general.
12:10 am
oh, shootin was a who, she was a human being at the end of the day. so she needs to be protected. journalists have to be protected. and it's important for us that to you as administration takes this seriously. we also requested her to meet with the president, since he did not meet with us when we were back in when we were back in palestine. and the meeting with the president would show us that the u. s. is taking this matter seriously. oh, results her expected surely. antonia's years referendum to approve a new constitution, which would grant nearly all powers to the office of the president chi side. vote counting is still underway, but to opponents the president of already accused isa aid controlled electoral board of fraud. cortex also say turn out for the way. it was just a little more than a quarter of the electorate. his fail to achieve legitimacy. the vote was held a year after the president sacked the government and suspended parliament while it
12:11 am
see a vote command joins us live now from tunis. and i suppose many a saying that the result of this vote, which would make the president conservative, considerably more powerful as a a foregone conclusion. how close always you and official result? i think we may well be a couple of violence away from an official result yesterday. the president of the easy the electoral authority photo. but laska was saying that it's actually going to be a much simpler accounts because there are 2 options. yes or no. but one of the things i have been seeing on social media is that some people deliberately, rather than putting an x maybe putting another symbol in. no, yes. so there's foil but papers, but i've also been hearing from other people who've gone to the polls. the a lot of the practices own actually straits that one very so when she thought she
12:12 am
was registered in one voting center and they said no, you know, and then they asked about her is your mother registered? and apparently the officer, as i am told, said, well, you can versus your mother. she refused, obviously because that was illegal. so i think that could be, you know, quite a few irregularities coming up. and certainly they've been problems with independent observe as being refused access to voting centers and aggressions or so again, journalists, one journalist told me that police took his phone and raised a number of photos. so the, they're all issues that will be sort of coming up and hopefully will come to light . i mean, the whole process has been highly controversial and people have been very suspicious . it may just be suspicion that people are talking about boat rigging and fraud.
12:13 am
but people aren't very convinced that ty site is quite the straight man that he initially came to power on. so and also people is saying that if he's, he's taken the legislative executive traditional power into times already when he decides to rule by decree. and they're saying, well, if you've only got 28 percent of the electorate that can be bothered to show up and actually vote in this referendum, then read not only how legitimate is this, but actually how strong is high side. so it's actually given a lot of encouragement to the opposition and apparently they're all very their plans for, for the demonstrations that have been quite a lot of press conferences and, and certainly there is a big motivation amongst the, the most established opposition group which calls itself the national salvation front to really sort of push and try and reach out to the other opposition groups
12:14 am
because unfortunate to this point been very fractured and try and work to come together as a much stronger, larger front that such he standing in solidarity against what they say is a non democratic illegitimate process and also a non democratic, an illegitimate constitution and regime. all right, thank you very much. lindsey of ultman avoiding to us from tennis. now russia says it will be opting out of the international space station off to 2024 to instead focus on building its own or missing outpost, russian and american nationals away together on the ios as since it 1st started operating in 1998 station ushered in a new era of cooperation between the former space rivals. while 15 countries are involved, the u. s. in russia are the stations, main operators and permanently occupy the bit the space. while the i assess is always been a symbol of civil cooperation. it quickly turn political off to the invasion of
12:15 am
ukraine. in march of this year, 3 russian cosmonaut is arrived at e, i s s. wearing yellow and blue flight suits matching the ukranian flag. the seats were initially seen as a protest, but the astros clarified. they had been made 6 months earlier. this month, the same 3 men were pitching, holding the flags of to you occupied ukrainian territories. they said they were celebrating the so called liberation of ukraine's law. handsome region off to russian forces gained full control of the region earlier this month. now nasa saying, but it's not been formerly notified of russia's intention, but the white house says that it is exploring options to mitigate the impacts of rushes withdraw. well, terry votes is a former commander of the international space station. he joins us live from houston, texas. so this is a, a to decade partnership in space between moscow and the west. how will russia's withdrawal affect the, the operation of the international space station?
12:16 am
first of all, it's a very sad day and really sad humans for me. my time and space spent with russian castle was my, my favorite part of my time on the space station we work together during their annexation of crimea and sanctions back in 2015. and that was something i was very proud of, but the russian government is really cross the line in the last few months with this invasion of ukraine. there's one important thing to keep and front and center . and that is the fact that the russians say a lot of things that they often don't mean or they change their mind. they threaten to pull out of the station before they've threatened lots of things, but just don't happen. they've also promised that they would invade ukraine and they invaded it. so i think we have to take what they say with a grain of salt, but we also have to be prepared. and that's going to mean that we need a propulsion model. we can talk more about that. ok, so go, go ahead. yeah, so the chief function of the russian segment, the space station really has an american segment, which is america, japan, europe,
12:17 am
and canada are all kind of on one half. the russian segment is about a 3rd of the size. it's on the other half, and the main function it has is propulsion. it has small rocket engines that is used to re boost the station. the station slowly comes down every few months. it gets re boosted and also to help the station point in the right direction. we call that attitude control. so we made a decision 20 plus years ago that we would not have a propulsion segment. and we would be wholly dependent on the russians to provide that function. so if they decide to pull out of the station, they just shut the hatch and it doesn't work any more. or they detach their segment and fly away the mass or the american segment. the u. s. european japanese segment would need a propulsion model to help it stay in orbit and also provide attitude control. and do they have the capacity to provide that? we can do that to a small degree. now with our cargo ships, we have a sickness and a space, ex cargo ship. they're still flying. we could probably modify those relatively
12:18 am
quickly. i've been advocating for that ever since february 24th. as a way to help us disengage from russia because of their bait, frankly, terrorist state actions in the war and you say that it's not. well, perhaps it's not certain that the russians will leave. certainly nicer said that they've had no communication yet about russia's intention to withdraw from the international space station. but what would it they are going to leave? why say off to 2024 to the they will serious about it a might just pull out straight away or is that not technically possible? well, what they're saying is, that's their international commitment. the partners get together every few years and they agree that the station will continue until and the most recent agreement was until 2024. everybody signed on national commitments. governments of committed budget. nasa would like to have that happens. you 2030. the russians have also had some pretty serious technical problems. there are some cracks in the metal on the russian segment that are serious. somebody drilled a hole and
12:19 am
a saw use before launch a few years ago. and a parent act of sabotage attempted sabotage. and so they've had some, some serious problems happening with the station they've gotten this thing might struggle to set up their own outposts and all that to see it, which was what we had in the conversation today between the head of the space agency and president putin you know, they been talking about building new capsules, building new rockets, building a lunar outpost for many, many years. that never happens. i think the reality is the russian space program is strapped for cash. and the current sanctions and just elimination of partnership from the, from the rest of the world is going to make that very tough unless they partner with china. and that's going to be a much different partnership and is now rush as an equal partner. we treat them very well, they treat us very well. it's been a great partnership. i believe that a relationship with china that they have will be a much different dynamic. and so, i mean, it, it is, you know, that it's a,
12:20 am
and it's an an area of cooperation that has been, i suppose, divorced from that, that the politics and the tensions that, that perhaps long before the war in ukraine. but having a presence in space is a symbol of national pride, isn't it? so do you think that perhaps this announcement is more about muscle flexing for a domestic audience in russia as opposed to a statement of intent? it often is, it usually is, i mean, in the soviet days we have soviet watchers to see who sat next to who these days. there is an audience, a one, and that's what america and so it may be somebody just trying to impress couldn't because the reality is the state, you know, it cost them money to participate. so they may want to pull out just to save money because i'm assuming that their government's going be very cash strapped. and so who knows what the real intentions are that for me, you mentioned it's a symbol of cooperation and that's true. during the soviet days we had
12:21 am
a policy or use, i was in space with my russian colleagues looking out the window, watching bombs go often easter eastern ukraine. so we could see people dying in the civil war that russia fanned in 2015. and unfortunately, the cars went out 3 the cars when i was in space with not all have joined the duma and they're actively supporting the war from a political point of view. and that's been probably the most disappointing thing for me personally. having been the commander of the space station working so well, i know with the russians that they're using, this is a political tool. it's really interesting to talk to you and get your perspective on this. so i thank you very much. tell you that the, joining us from the commander, the international space station and an astronaut. thank you for having me. firefighters in the us is saying they are making progress and battling california launches while fi this year with almost a quarter of the blaze new set. if m f. c, national park contained nearly 30055 and 24. helicopters are at the scene. the oak
12:22 am
5 started burning on friday. it's destroyed an area half the size of san francisco . thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes and 41 buildings destroyed. algae there is rob runnels has one hour from now post the county. this is the aftermath of a fast moving powerful wildfire that swept through these sierra nevada foothills of california. the fire has scorched thousands of factors leaving many areas as you can see, covered in ash with smouldering debris still are apparent in many areas of pall of smoke. as also drifted all away from this area to the san francisco bay in the west and into nevada. in the east making air quality hazardous for thousands of people. this is one of the dozens, if not more,
12:23 am
of structures that have burned. this was a, apparently, a house we can see appliances in it and bits of broken roof and so on. the number of people who've been evacuated from this area is close to 4000 about 3700 by last count. and there are thousands of firefighters 2900 firefighters working on the fire. we've seen them all over this area heading out to the firelight, carrying their equipment, and also the fire as being fought from the air, with drops of water and fire retardant. or you can see here just get a, a look at how hot this fire was. this is molten, or was molten aluminum from some of the appliances and vehicles that are
12:24 am
stored here nearby. so that was a lot of heat. there is some good news. however, the fire is now considered 29 percent contain that's up from 0 over the weekend. so that is very good news. firefighters are feeling optimistic and they've even started to allow some people who had been evacuated to return to their homes. but no one is going to be returning to this house to live anytime soon. or scott. stevens is a professor of fire science at the university of california. berkeley joins us live now from all not creek in california. i want to ask you about how this affects tree species in the ecosystem. but since rob was just speaking about evacuations, i want you been in touch with any families, any individuals, any community that have, have had to evacuate, perhaps more than once over the last few years. how is this,
12:25 am
how does affecting people's people's lives? well, i think it really negatively impacts them. i think it's a lot of stress. it's a stress that just doesn't go away. i think every time summer comes in and get taught. people are wondering if there's smoke around it, something it really right, john, people, i'm really make some wonder about where they're living. should they continue to live their wares on them? and so do most people just leave permanently or do they do? they tend to come back. lot of people come back there. no, there's this amazing kind of connection to place when even when you lose a house such as the one you saw in the video, you know, you lose a house, but you still go, you need to come back. one thing that's making that more difficult construction costs here in california skyrocketed. so even the rebuild a home that actually similar to what you loss is really, really hard now because the cost might be 40 percent higher than what you could sell that around with the inflation and supply chain bottlenecks. it is, inflation is a big deal and it's also impacted the timber industry,
12:26 am
which is how it's getting a little better. but it's been very costly. so what does that mean going forward? cuz you know, while fi season is becoming more intense and it's becoming longer as well. so is it a we going to see entire communities, thousands of people just settling elsewhere and this land effectively being sealed off because it just doesn't makes i make sense to live there anymore. i do think we are going to see some people leave some of these rural areas that's really difficult because of course there's jobs up there. there's things that need to be done. i do believe that there's going to be a migration and people are considering it, but they're still the sense of place. a place where your family is, where you grown up, it's hard to leave. so many people will try to stay. how is the environment changing? because wildfires are incredibly destructive. how does it change the the structure and the composition of the ecosystem? no, that's a great question. yeah, no fire is going to part of california ecosystem for millennia. indigenous burning
12:27 am
. we have had fire here for so long the challenges and when you have fires a chill trees overboard, large areas, continuously thousands of heck, there's high hundreds of factors, 500 tech there's. we don't have the ability to, for those trees to provide c back to regenerate that force will get a shrub system back seeds in the soil that actually stay dormant for 5060 years. but the trees themselves have a very difficult time to actually come back unless it's a small patch of kil, hector quarter hector regeneration no problem. so the big fires that are causing his big patches of mortality that are continuous are really removing force. so what does that mean for these? we've seen these beautiful giant sequoia trees that have been destroyed. what does that mean for the environment in the land? well, could really be detrimental. i mean, today we're seeing some areas of jain, sequoia that are being kill other areas like a mariposa grove and you somebody actually doing very well because
12:28 am
a previous prescribed burning being done there for 50 years set that place up. so when it burned it a while fire just did fine. so you know, that's what we really have to do the pre work due to the pre work, to get the systems in better shape. so when drought fire in sex come essentially they maintain themselves as work. we need you to do. thank you very much for fossa of fire on his university of california berkeley, scott stevens, joining us happy of talk to you at the knees, our life from london still had on the program schools. every opening in shall anchor for the 1st time in 3 weeks. that lack of fuel is many struggling to make it to class. night charges against the cities, former prime minister. i dropped after police, struggle to locate a key witness. and a magical moment on the baseball field of action coming out late ah
12:29 am
hallo still now let up in that he to cross southern parts of europe, some very high temperatures continued. he lost clear skies as you can see. but look at this line of cloud rolling across central parts up towards the baltic, states. behind that we have noticeably fresh air. and on this sir cold front, that blue line there, we will see some lively storms rumbling away. good old fashioned summer storms helping to break that. he doesn't he ahead of that though is still getting up into the thirty's, across a good parts of austria, hungary pushing down into romania, bulgaria. much of the balkans, italy stang, by halters. well in that heat. of course, spreading all the way across into spain and portugal, not as hot as it has been recently, but still plenty hot enough notice further north rather more comfortable. 24 celsius there for london. and for berlin, those temperatures will grassy notch up over the next couple of days. but nothing
12:30 am
about the extreme heat that we saw last week. there's that thunder break down with that re making his way into eastern parts ukraine, seeing some bacon foundry shouts for time. pushing down towards the black sea, still some very wet weather there, just around check. republic. sliding down towards the outs, scattering showers into the med, but nothing too much to speak of. plenty of heat cause northern parts of africa, central africa, seeing those good old fashioned seasonal rains, making the way for the west. ah, around 10 women are being murdered in mexico every day. almost always by men. an epidemic of gender based violence that threatens to spiral out of control. now specialists police squads run by women are trying to reverse the trend and bring the perpetrators to justice. but can they overcome years of macho culture and indifference? behind the scenes with the fem aside detected on
12:31 am
12:32 am
usages, it prices for a further dip in russian energy supplies. russell says the new plan should see members through an average winter, even if the taps were turned off entirely. the newly appointed chief of moscow space agencies as rush or quit the international space station after 2024 years bar, self told president boot in the national agency will shift its focus to building its own station. results were expected shortly into news is referendum to a pro approve a new constitution. this would grant nearly all power to the office of the president chi saeed. his opponents already accused of these i eat controlled electoral board of fraud. now police in the democratic republic of congo, say 7 protest is, and 3 un peacekeepers have been killed on a 2nd day of protests against the united nations. the demonstration started at the
12:33 am
missions base and the eastern city of goma on monday on hundreds of protest is attacked and looted un warehouse. on monday, active as a peacekeepers have not protected them from violence in the region and they wanted to leave. the mission has been gradually withdrawing for years. so i spoke to jason stuns head of the congo research group at new york university. and i started by asking him why so many people in this part of the country are opposed to the un mission and gama. there's a lot of frustration in the population because it's been 22 years since the deployment of the peacekeeping mission and the congo, and yet the conflict continues to escalate today. there are 6000000 people displaced in the eastern congo. that's more than ever before in the congress, 120 different armed groups. and yet the un peacekeeping mission is there. they have a budget of a $1000000000.00 a year that is twice the budget of the national army and police. and so there's a lot of frustration people see there, there and yet nothing is changing. why is nothing changing?
12:34 am
because the united nations and the, the kind of sentiment towards them is a small part of a much bigger story, which you alluded to just when you said there was a hot over a 100 armed groups operating in the region. and some of them really have the kind of force and power of, of conventional armies. there's a lot to talk about here. obviously, i think that there are been story that's been in the news most recently isn't the resurgence of the m 23. this is the article that i believe you were just referring to, that has been able to shoot down un helicopters that has made advances that over and the largest army base in the province of north keep, for example, that situation is really due to due politics in the region, it seems to be a matter of competition between 3 countries, uganda, rwanda and the congo. overpower and influence in the region over resources,
12:35 am
over security that really triggered that situation. but that's only one of many situations. in fact, the m 23 is not the deadliest arm group in the region. there are other groups that are much, far, far deadlier and worse in terms of the abuses they afflict on the local population, to the very complex situation. and i thinking with the heart of this, and the reason that you and hasn't been able to make dramatic transformational changes is because they really find themselves at the margins of this conflict. there is, despite all of these different actors, despite the escalation, there is no critical political process at the moment. there's no yours yet. no demobilization plan that belligerents are not really at the peace table at the negotiation table. yeah. and so i think the un really is struggling to deal with this, but this pro said how much was, could it get? you have no process. diplomacy or peace negotiations. the d r c already
12:36 am
has the largest displacement and numbers in the region, 4 and a half 1000000 to space within the country and then hundreds of thousands displaced abroad. all we just going to see the same patterns of conflict and displacement. now repeating themselves, but only that will be much less capacity to respond to it because, you know, the international quiz he's attention is elsewhere. well, i think that's a risk. i think the most important thing is for pressure to be put on the outside actors who are intervening as for the to, to stop doing. so, i think for example, rwanda and uganda where an international community, including united kingdom, has a lot of way. that's one thing to do at the end of the day, the colonies government is of course, the prime primary responsible party in providing security. and it's a lot more that they could do in terms of reforming their own army, their own police force from predatory forces that they currently are to forces that protect the local population. there needs to be mobilize asian process. there's
12:37 am
a very fledgling one that's currently deployed and there needs to be a transformation of local governance canyons adding to the poles in 2 weeks time to choose the next president and what's expected to be a close race. a tv to bay was held in the capital, i robi, but one of the main content is right. a dingo boycott at the event is accusing his main rival, william root of trying to avoid certain topics like corruption. both veteran politicians are promising change. hello webb joins us live now from nairobi. what was the reaction to why the region is or crossing of the debate whether the fool candidates running for president to front runner as royal or dingo william route. so they went to debate together just the 2 of them, but it was william roots are alone on the stage. just answering questions from the moderators, because viola didn't show up. one of the things that came up is the cost of living
12:38 am
. something that the candidates have been talking about in the campaign. price of fuel at the pumps here in kenya has gone up by about 60 percent since the beginning of the, the price of some food staples as almost doubled over the same period, which is crippling for tens of millions of kenyans william router who was there says he will reduce the cost of living within a 100 days of coming into office royalist promised to give stipends to families. but economists of raised questions about all of these manifesto promises that basically increase spending. but don't address another big economic question here. kenya's overseas debt, it's external debt which is reco levels and that's also connected to corruption. another issue that came up because it's massive in the infrastructure projects under the current government and previous governments have been mine and corruption scandals have turned out very expensive,
12:39 am
