a look at the loss of power in hungarian to the experiences of those who live in every day. that is a pressure on us. but we have to be very careful, of course, and we have to be brave enough to support that pressure. how democracy dies. democracy may be on al jazeera, the heart wrenching goodbyes, loved ones, not knowing when they were united to get women and children heading west to relative safety, often leaving been behind among them. foreigners also trying to give out train rise of a free, but it's on a 1st come, 1st serve basis here at the bus station that only a few rides available and that's only to the surrounding villages. so people like for me in rose, now need to find another way to get out of the city. but for now they, like many others, would have to reach in hope, hoping tomorrow is a better day. oh,

protest to storm parliaments, but pro iran politicians in iraq stand firm behind their choice for prime minister . ah, i'm carry don't. so you're watching out 0 also coming up. russia says it's talking with the us, but there's no deal yet one exchange of high profile prisoners, north korean leader kim jong on that warns he's ready to use nuclear weapons. if there's a conflict with us and south korea on more than 300 people dead and hundreds of kilometer roads washed away by heavy floating in pakistan over the past month. ah,

ah, the main at pro iran parliamentary block in iraq says it will go ahead with the norman nation of mohammed ausa donna for prime minister as despite the storming of parliament, my opponents on wednesday night. a protest as were supporters of the influential shia cleric of tod asada was cast himself as a critic of both iranian and american influence in iraq. laura burton manley has more oh, a show of descent in the heart of political decision making in baghdad. brutus is taken over the speakers plain and m p 's benches. their support is the influential shia cleric booked out of solder. he says he does not want. mohammed also done to be the next prime minister. this was over the phone by that is brenda supporters from other provinces storms, the green zone, the ottoman are in good numbers. it seems to me that there is no

escalating this protesting movement, so to speak. he basically wants to the swatch count of the candidate for the cream, your shirt. this is how they got into the heavily fortified green zone. undeterred by water cannon protested, tore down the cement bloss, who's surrounding a 10 kilometer stretch of the city 100 pallets, with apparent ease, forcing their way down the main thoroughfare towards parliament. there they remained until sunday, instructed them to withdraw in a tweet. he described it as a revolution of reform and rejection of corruption saying the message had been delivered and the protesters have terrified the corrupt in power. sada is one of the most popular politicians in iraq. his party was the biggest winner in october's election, but he failed to form a majority coalition. ah, last month,

more than 70 m. p 's, along with the shia cleric, was signed from parliament calling it corrupt. now the pro, wrong coordination framework is trying to fill that void by nominating su donny as prime minister. for now, this is a victory for santas and a threat to the political decision makers. unless a protest is unlikely to maintain the pressure from the streets. norbert manly al jazeera markwood, although our head is in baghdad, he says, the pro iranian blocks plans will lead to more protests. supporters of souther looked at the other. they rose up against that nomination of mohammed. she asked who danny? they believe, as they say, that he is another for seed of corruption. another for said of a no real malady, the former prime minister, who was a prime minister for 2 terms. and he's accused by the sudden supporters of

corruption and of runing, the state resources and runing the state funds for 2 terms when he was prime minister. now the coordination framework says that they're calling on the speaker of the parliament hamlet had lucy and on the government. not to change anything in the plan. the plan that was set to hold a session on saturday to elect a new president of the state. and then the pre, the new president of the state would assign the newly a nominated prime minister who is mohammed t. i. so that, according to the coordination framework to form the new government, it seems that we're going to probably see more escalation in the coming days. as the supporters of looked under a southern, we'll definitely reject that move and would probably most to probably take

again to st. and this time it would probably be more violent. oh marcenough also mary is from the harvard kennedy schools, middle east initiative. she explains mac tada asada as opposition to the current moves. so down he just represents a very convenient excuse for most of the southern 2 boys, his displeasure with the entire coordination framework and with the political system in iraq. he would have done this if anyone else who are nominated. so danny actually presents one of them least controversial figures from this coordination framework. they could have easily selected someone who was on the sanctions list by the us treasury, who was a clear leader of paramilitary group so that he actually is a non controversial figure as far as of his cult. oh, so he isn't the issue. the issue is that he was nominated by with the dissenters. rivals primarily included amanda key, who, more than a cylinder, has had

a history of contention. with su, donnie represents kind of a middle ground figure between the traditional elite political figures of the shall political parties like mckee, like had an avi, who are more strong men kind of figures. he has political experience them that he was a minister in the past. as well as a very active appeal when it comes to his actual policy of he is likely going to be a similar figure to former prime minister. hey that at our body in terms of towing . the line between both to her and washington offer must that us leather. i think it is a, it is very convenient to believe that he is completely anti iranian. but the truth is in iraq, there is not a single political party whether she asked the new or occurred that does not have some kind of ty with iran, is really forces have used tear gas against pun, a student protested, who demonstrating against the establishment of an illegal settlement in the village of people hottest in the occupied west bank waved palestinian flags and chanted

slogans in the streets to the settlement of back home. with there have been reports of multiple missiles strikes and ukrainian capital. keith sirens have been heard across the city. and defenses are believed to have been activated. ukraine is marking its 1st statehood day after proclamation by president for him as landscape last year. i'll just here is john henderson is in cave with more. we've learned from bella vision authorities at 25 rockets have been fired from their soil. many of them, 9 of them landed in true near that north of key, but others landed in the cave region. and then there were also strikes near harkins into google, and we also have learned that this city of odessa has a fire. we don't know what the cause of that is. so on. what is the 1st statehood

day here in ukraine? it has been celebrated with fire. that is, of course, not how the ukrainians planned to celebrate it. those rockets came largely from belarus and hark, it has been struck day after day after day. and if the fire in odessa is indeed from foreign sources, that will be the 3rd time odessa has been hit since in agreement was made a turkish broker agreement between russia and ukraine to allow grain to leave that and other ports on the black sea through what are supposed to be safe waters, but gloomier zalinski the president of ukraine has said, you can't trust russia to abide by this agreement. and if indeed this is a 3rd strike on a desk that would make it quite difficult to get that grain out of these ports. as ukrainian authorities have said, they intend to do this very weak for military analysts. so again,

the says there's reason to believe the fighting could escalate further. the russians say that they're been shooting down ukrainian missiles with the package, not very effectively. the newest applied america and high mars missiles as seem to boast to evade the russian air defenses, and they are very, very accurate. i mean, ukraine had this list of the same range before russia also has them same range, but not the same accuracy. and these very accurate missiles go, provide your grain with a boss ability to knock out very important valuable rush and targets in the russian rear. and also they have undermined assist substantially the rush of air defenses themselves because they're targeting the air defense positions. and so the ukranian air force right now, it's shelly much more vigor in bombing targets because it's under west pressure

from russian defenses that are trying to shoot down the missiles. so ukraine is trying to push forward to take over the initiative. that's a very, that's a lot, but will they manage or not? i don't know because, oh, well the russians are very strong still and there's up to mid september may be there's going to be a very intense fighting because the summer campaign more west winds up. but in september, but now both sides in august and beginning of september, we'll be fighting intensely. russia says there's no deal yet for a prisoner, swapped with us. that's fine. reports that america could exchange russian honesty, the thick to boot for basketball star, brittany groin and former marine pool. whelan, u. s. secretary state antony blake can will be a speaking to russian. foreign minister said enough for all this week. it will be the 1st time that spoken, since russia invaded ukraine. i'm glad to raise an issue. that's

a top priority for us. the release of americans, paul wilson, and brittany griner law. we detain and must be allowed to come all a substantial proposal on the table weeks ago. facilitate the release. our governments are communicated repeatedly and directly on that proposal. and i use the conversation to follow up personally, and i hope move us or to resolution pentico. hey, the has more now from washington, dc. it would, it seemed to indicate that it's pretty close to me. let's think about, take a step back where they do these prisoner exchanges between any country they don't normally broadcast from the state department from the secretary of state himself a. but we've been seeing these indications for a while. and the russians had said that they couldn't, can contemplate any sort of prisoner exchange in till brittney grinders case went through the legal system. so just a few weeks ago, we saw her plead guilty to what she was accused of, of bringing to,

to vague cartridges of hashish oil into the country. she said it was an accident that she was packing quickly. the sentencing phase as well underway as she testified today saying that she wasn't read her rights and that it was an accident and she didn't mean to insult the russian people. but then so didn't had the secretary stake him out and make this very public announcement. they're looking to get paul, we'll in a former marine sentence for 16 years and espionage and brittany griner out and to say that he's going to call on his counterpart, foreign minister, sorry, labor love, rod himself is an indication that the u. s. thinks they can get it done. i mean, they have been under public pressure to act, but it's not an insane amount of pressure. it's not leading the nightly news. it's not at the front page of the newspapers. it's venton not necessarily the factor here. more importantly, you don't put a cabinet secretary, especially someone like the secretary of state and for the cameras and say we're going to get this done. we're trying to get this done. if you really don't think that you're going to be able to get it done, the u. s. federal reserve is increasing. it's

a key interest rate by not point $75.00 percentage points on our city. 2.5 percent is the 4th increase this year. we're markets have been pushing the u. s. central bank to raise the cost of borrowing to try to control rising inflation. north korean leader kim jong has warned, he's ready to use nuclear weapons in the event of a conflict for the united states and south korea. kim was speaking to war, veterans on the 69th anniversary of the end of the korean war. military jets painted the countryside across the sky, as crowds below wave and cheered anniversary is known as the day of victory in your career. career expressed a deep regret. kim's threat, so it's ready to cope with any provocation by north korea in a powerful, effective manner. let's listen to what kim said. what he knew he sent to the armed forces are thoroughly prepared to respond to any crisis and our nation's nucular

war deterrent is also fully prepared to mobilize absolute strength faithfully, accurately and promptly. and i assure you that the safety of this land and the system and sovereignty of this country, which our military comrades have shed blood for it, is thoroughly guaranteed. generally, still ahead on al jazeera, why the french president face is growing anger during his visit to west africa. and we look at the extraordinary weather here in the gulf, with floods in the way an unheard of rain in keta in july. ah, the journey has begun. the 3 full world camp is on its way to catherine book, your travel package today. there are still warnings out of really high temperatures, not reco, breaking that high temperature for this part of china, because the se, down towards hong kong, which is $3435.00 degrees. not quite reco. brady well above where it should be. and

any movement in this part of the world in temperatures is worthwhile. but those clouds and showers that come across will suppress the heat. some degree brought persistent rain to beijing yesterday by friday, that's gone through. and that tails off into the northeast of charlotte means heat . the korean finance attempts is rising here. heat and humidity with a few showers in japan. but look at this, this is not yet a named tropical. anything that could be a tropical depression. the tropical storm on its way in rent, let it relentlessly to the east coast of china. this is the forecast. so saturday, may, is, can do anything, make landfall with at least significant rain. during sunday, temperatures are still high, but not as high in southern china. by this time. let's go further west and pick up the real monsoon down poles. the really in the northern part of india and in pakistan, yes, you could get them anywhere. but look at where the dark blue is or in the orange is coming back to my roster for example. but it's caused the most trouble. i think this monsoon dan pulls recently and pakistan and repeating themselves mainly mostly

in the north katha airway, visual airline of the journey. frank assessments, it sounds like you don't expect anything to change the problem in lebanon. it's actually structural lebanon needs, and you thought of contract in order for it to solve this problem informed opinions . it's not your communities on the goals, my security, and that creates a government has no legitimacy in depth analysis of the data global headlines. this is going to be very hard for people to explain to the public that instead of pushing back, no, it's actually got 2 members inside story on al jazeera. ah ah,

watching al jazeera reminder of our top stories this out, hundreds of people stormed iraq's parliament on wednesday to protest against the nomination of a new prime minister by pro iran block. their supporters of the info and short shia cleric, todd or russia, says there is no deal yet for a prisoner swap. the us that's falling reports the by the administration is offering to free russian arms to victor boot basketball star. brittany greiner and former marie po whelan would be released by moscow if there's a deal i've been reports of multiple missiles strikes and ukrainian capital, keith sirens, i've been heard across the city. an air defense is all believed to have been activated. when al jazeera is timmer al, smarty is at the port of china mosh where the 1st of the ships are carrying grain as agreed in a deal between russia and ukraine. last week is expected to leave non bill for

legit. we are the hearts of the ports of trying to more square. all eyes are set on the area behind me. the cranium minister infrastructure said he expect the 1st ships carrying grains to set out into the turkish territory. waters then the international waters at any point of time to put you in the picture. those are the shores of turn, the more square minds are everywhere. i had the he so i had you can see this warning sign placed by the ukraine authorities at the backdrop. you can see parts of the court of turn, morrison were authorities had denied during this access into the 3 port touring morrison the desk, and usually citing security reasons that ukraine and authorities are conducting the process. an absolute confidentiality for fear of imminent russian attacks on the ports and their infrastructure. sub i had this morning, the ukrainian south operations command. i made the statement saying all the logistics within the 3 c port and have been concluded. meanwhile, the crane and forces have been working diligently over the past 2 days. removing mines from the water passages through which the grain carrying ships will pass.

ukrainian navy spoke this morning about the number of turkish military vessels that had entered through the safe water passages and this morning we also witnessed the korean air defenses bending off russian rocket detox launched and reconnaissance drones, as they say from the black sea targeting the southern province of ukraine and so forth. heavy rain has triggered flash floods in the united arab emirates from houses with damaged, and cars were swept away in the floods. there's also been heavy rain have been cut off. that's unprecedented. whether present, rob mckelly explains they were thunderstorms in tow, hine cooper this morning. and so what you might think is to say what it is never rained in july in recorded history or any bodies living memory. it just doesn't happen. reliable forecast. arabia is hot, dry, and dusty throughout the summer, 4 months of the summer. now the monsoon does affect some pow sarabia. when it

boosts out of india, catches southern amal in salon, or it's drizzling overcast, and they're occasional thunderstorms in a mom and yemen. but this year when lemon soon burst into pakistanis, called substantial damage and loss of life, it cause a similar amount of flooding in a mom. this is a couple of weeks ago, and we so okay, so it's come a long way beyond where it shouldn't been stronger. the switch to occasional variation to say it's never rained in july in kat are in recorded history or anybody's memory. the same is true in q, wait it iran, very similar, one or 2 shout may be while there's been flooding in the west coast of iran, the rains moving north and for the next 3 days of a forecast of significant rain causing flooding. maybe again, here in bahrain as well, western iran, and even in q, wait on saturday. is this a one year? and normally i have to say, i don't know, it seems to be an extension of the monetary drop. will be repeated in future years with yet to see what as rob just mentioned,

there has been severe flooding in pakistan or 300 people and now known to have died in floods in several provinces since june. many more have been injured in the extreme weather event that was treated by monsoon grains. rescue teams have been deployed to assist hundreds of people forced to leave the affected areas. several roads and dozens of bridges have been washed away. are thousands of homes have been heavily damaged? come out, hider is in some of that with more. the buggy thought a major roger going to department that issued a warning of fall landslide and flash, large and high book book to while province. part of the upon job got by dawn, but the biggest and the worst affected so far as the province of baluchistan and the largest province of the country area wise, were the least population. we just got dared over a large area and therefore the relief and rescue efforts that being hampered

because of the logistical regions. the men link road from karachi to the prevention of capital of quite i been blocked because some of the bridges have been washed away. sections of the highway have been washed away and the military of gods, and now using helicopters to raise remote regions and to try to ahead to evacuate the people the government of value just on that also promised to give cash compensation to for the family of large family members, as well as getting relief like essential food items to the area. now, the warnings are in place regarding your logical department. they also said that this is going to last in the middle of september, and that the country will receive, or what 30 percent of which normally monsoon grains and russia is trying to reassure nations hit hard by the global shortage of grain. millions of people across africa and left without adequate access to food because of soaring prices.

the moscow was hoping to strengthen ties with the continent, which is so far, refused to join western functions in response to the war in ukraine. malcolm web reports. russia's foreign minister meant diplomats from several african countries in ethiopia as capital addis ababa. it was his last stop on the tour of africa, where many countries have not joined the west in condemning russia's invasion of ukraine. but many of them are suffering from the rise in food fuel and fertilizer prices that followed the situation of ukraine defect addition to the negative aspect, the food food markets, but not because of the russian special iteration rather due to the absolutely. and that, that with the reaction of the west, which announced sanctions undermining the availability of food on

the markets. 2 days before lab rovers in uganda, uganda, president, re mas 70 has courted both the west and russia for decades. including buying russian weapons will actually come up to depletion to russia. wish it, but you people will refer for the last, remember us out on the streets, gardens is struggling to pay for fuel prices at the pump of nearly doubled since the start of the year is the same story for wheat flour gander, imported from both russia and ukraine, immigration, abraham selves, omelettes rolled in shape patties, which is having to make smaller because of the soaring flower price in there. got somebody out there on that takes up, but the good the go for them. the one, something that can make them come look is not robes promise, trade and investment in the countries he visited. you wanted to show that our
