. hello, we begin the program in ukraine. keith says, eats ready to dispatch the 1st shipments of grain from his black se ports president for letting me zalinski says he's waiting for the go ahead though, from the u. n. and turkey. about 25000000 tons of grain have been stuck in ukraine's ports since russia invited in february. that's a whole new look. go on. our side is fully prepared. we sent all the signals, are partners, do you and turkey, and our military guarantees the security situation. the minister of the infrastructure is in direct contact with turkey and the un we're waiting for them to give the go ahead. so let's take a closer look now with the 3 zones with the grain shipments are expected to be relates to. they include the ports of p, danielle in the north, odessa, and sean and mosque. they're all located in ukraine's odessa province on the blank saint. john hendrick is in the city of odessa with more. we have been able to

confirm that not only are the 1st ship loaded out, but that it will leave today if it hasn't already. and we know it's either going to come from the port of turn moore's or the port of odessa, which is where i'm standing. you can't see it because of the rules here for press say we can't show it, but i promise you it's right over there. they want this site to be on identical, an identifiable for obvious reasons because they know russians are watching. this is, well, this was all actually announced in a news conference earlier today, but it was embargoed until just now the infrastructure minister, alexander cooper costs that at this news conference in which the members of major nations had ambassadors there. he said, we have completed our preparations to export grain to the world. the ports of turn, a morse in odessa are currently ready to export grain. there were grain laden ships before the war ready to dispatch, and there will be other ships. so we expect that to happen today and it's possible that might be under way. you don't see

a lot of ships back here because until this agreement was brokered by turkey, these waters were simply to unsafe for anybody to transport grain. so none of that is haven't, you've had 20 to 25000000 tons of grain just sitting in this port. and now it appears beginning today that ukraine will once again the world. and that's important because there's a looming food crisis in africa and elsewhere where people are desperately waiting for these shipments to come. so we'll have apparently a 1st shipment today, and then there will be other shipments are 3 black c ports. the 2 i mentioned earlier, and piv, danny, which apparently will be ready soon to can continue these shipments. but the 1st shipment apparently going out today and ukraine and russia blaming each other after an air strike going to prison facility kill dozens of people. it happened in the russian held town of allan, named in the province,

ukrainian prisoners of war were being held in the detention center and a 75 people were injured. ukraine's foreign minister responded to the incident on line saying russia had committed a war crime. moscow has denied the allegations. look, at the moment a large number of ukrainian service men voluntarily lay down their arms. knowing about the humane attitude towards prisoners of war on the russian side, displayed in provocation, was committed to intimidate ukrainian service men, and prevent them from being taken prisoner. circumstances of this provocation are being investigated. russia foreign minister sig, i love rob says he has shed yield a phone call with your secretary of state, anthony blink. and it'll be the 1st conversation between the 2 scenes. russia invited ukraine back in february. leverage hasn't confirmed a date and says the agenda is still a work in progress. the german city of hanover is going to turn off hot water in municipal buildings to save energy. public places like gyms and

swimming pools will provide cold water for hand washing and showers. it's the latest german cd to introduce measures ahead of the winter. after russia dramatically would use gas supplies. many cities, including the capital berlin, have switched off lights and government buildings and turned off fountains that the vessel has more from the capital. more than $200.00 buildings public building here, and melinda will go darker for the next coming weeks, at least to save energy. and not only that, it is also able to show 2 people here in germany as a symbol of how to save energy, because not only the government this urge to save energy but the public as well. but this is one bit a pill. of course, at the germans, i know, have to swallow because of their dependency on russian gas and oil for the energy supply. and this is also the result of a meeting house in brussels by the e. u in which the decision was taken to voluntarily cut and

a cheese by 15 percent over the coming month to basically anticipate last gas even coming from russia for the next winter. on wednesday, gus form has already also decreased gas supplies to germany again. 6 from north frame one, which is one of the major suppliers of gas to europe, is around 30 percent of all the supply is coming from north stream one. and it's now reduced to only one 5th of the normal supply. so there's a lot of worry, of course, at, for the coming winter, the storage facilities that the european countries, including germany, you won't be full to actually make everyone comfortable and warm. there is going to be less heating also in hand over the city where the public facilities won't have any warm water, but also housing companies have already announced that they. busy will lower the temperature off heating in houses already to anticipate for his cold winter to come

. a court in the u. s. has decided that civil law suits brought against libyan warlord could leave a half that can be heard in federal courts. half time we the u. s citizen is accused of war crimes and extra use issue killings during libby as war panica high as the latest from virginia. this is a civil case brought by defendant here in virginia. leaf. a hoss car does have american citizenship, so they want to hold him civilly liable for what they call war crime. now, he didn't really put under defense, he wasn't deposed, but still a judge this morning so that he is in fact, liable. similarly, liable for war crimes, torture extradition, killing. so what does that mean? it means the people that sued can now go after his assets. he has, according to one investigation, by the wall street journal, about $8000000.00 with the properties here in virginia. now, many of those are a limited liability companies. many of the, the transferred to a son, the lawyer speaking here. so they believe they can get it those assets and even

more, they believe you have tens of billions of dollars please all across the world. so now the forensic analysis begins, the next phase is to try and figure out how much money he has and how much money these defendants will be awarded. so some of the evidence brought before the judge was a hospital that was bombed by his forces, killing a doctor, a family that was killed by an explosion in their home family that was tortured in their home. now again, this is civil, this isn't criminal, but now it opens the doors as these people can probably possibly get cash asked those who were suing him, what they think this could mean for libyan politics. and they said they don't know . they are hoping that the libyan people will take another look at half star as is it just a little opposition now that he us judge, has said that he is simply liable for work, right? to shrunken now in the book world bank says he'd warn, give the country financial assistance until it puts economic reforms in place. the country has been plunged into

a date financial crisis since 2019 trunk is new president renewal, vic rema single has promised to get the economy back on track after protests for his predecessor to resign and often end is in colombo with more. the groups might be smaller, that one we've seen in recent months, but no less vocal. the banner says renelle must take responsibility for this crackdown. and people here from civil society representatives of the protest groups saying that the government has no right to launch this violent crack down on the protesters and pick them off one by one, arresting them for essentially voicing their opposition. people now see the proto site as the site of bender that us previously plus the production site that gave people in college, gave b. but people came together. they and i was a, it was a slight delay. i, everybody could talk completely,

but now it is the flight of p r and the government is painting that. and it's quite clear that the government in no means want protest to build up again, as you can see behind me, a protest says have taken a seat. ah, they've all um, sort of started this silent demonstration. they've said they're not going to be violent, but they're just making their voices heard over here. you can see the huge are band of are police of security. there's army on the other side. this police, this special task force commanders. the protest as have been told to are stick to the protest grounds on the other side. and it's quite clear, as i said, that this is to prevent any sort of big gatherings or crowds getting together and coming close to what this struggle was against. initially, the government of got our b roger boxer, and now that of run a vicar missing her,

me a mass military is accused of using fighter planes to fire and guided munitions in civilian areas. that's according to a report bank, group of independent investigators called me and my witness. it says the john trays using the jets to target armed group. supposing last is comb, tiny chang explains a fight. a jet screams along the border in northern thailand at the end of june. it's happened several times this year. and children know the drill, hiding in shelters until the skies are clear. but the jets are aiming the guns into myanmar. hulu, conflicts on the border is decades old. the air war is new since last, she has qu, the gender is deployed, attack helicopters, and fighter jets against armed rebels opposing its rule. so i went through underground light, one the jet, come, ah, we get a hides. i don't really care about

a is it is actually really in place and me place they just bomb everywhere. they just shoot the rocket and everywhere the gesture, the mash and galle everywhere. ah, the attacks have been relentless and there's little the rebels can do there like machine guns and small arms and no match for the aerial bombardment. and there's one plane, they fear more than any other error airplay attack. incur any they use that they're blue, blue collar. when. yeah, i'm betting the yank 130. the russian to see to jet was sometimes described as a trainer that has full attack capabilities. the initial fleet was ordered before the coo, but according to a report by independent investigators me and my witness. another delivery is arrived since the military took over housed in these newly constructed hangers,

using social media and geo location. the report alleges these planes have been deployed in civilian areas, firing unguided, serbian rockets, the 80 mean m. your ammunition is usually hits, which means high explosive anti pang. when it comes to the possibility of aiming this an ordinance precisely to target, it's not really accurate. natural, these people were fleeing ariel and artillery attacks on the eastern town of lake a go and december. since then, more than a 1000000 people have been displaced from their homes across myanmar, their greatest fear attack from the skies. tony ching al jazeera, still head on al jazeera and violent protests calling for in the military rule in guinea when the capital to a standstill. and why general is heading to the u. k. conservative parties conference, we trying to get the gc ah

the journey has begun the fee for world copies on its way to catherine book, your travel package today. i think java barley, this general area of indonesia has been and will be dry, more or less for the next couple of days. the constant re, construction rains, not much further north through body and still a ways back to will, singer more but it's in malaysia and a property certain times in cambodia and a big master classic gives the threat of flood to the philippines as well. so very little this area is free of cloud or potential showers. north of that, we have got more of an arrangement, this tropical depression and that's what it is. so it's not a risk of strong winds. it's just a circulation of big thunderstorms that's on its way to the east coast of china. it may or may not make landfall, but i think much the rate is going to go to eastern flank. we can't really track it

beyond the middle of sunday. so heavy rain down the western side of south korea, the small rollins of japan and increasing the amount of cloud and rain in central and southern china with the heat wave. and that's what it has been, is dying down human is coming up so it won't fill me better. but some light rain is probably welcome against what's been dry and stuffing the hot weather for india as an increase in the amount of rain down the western gets. but equally, the shouts continue in northern india, northern pakistan to some degree, bangladesh. and they're still big ones, official airline, of the journey. a sanctuary for journalists. it was a haven from the all shelter for civilian refugees were scattered into the garden during cambodians, bloody sat off flooring us up to me, and suddenly we were turning the ballpark song. the clear rouge had taken anything of value out of the hole. chombo dear little no. a new episode of war,

hotels on old jersey, blue. ah, hello, are you watching al jazeera? i'm emily ang, when he's a reminder of our top stories this, our ukraine says it's ready to dispatch the 1st shipments of grain from its black sea ports president flooded me. zalinski says he's waiting for the go ahead from the un enter key. it will, bank says it won't give sholandra financial assistance until of course, economic reforms in place. the country has been plunged into a deep financial crisis since 2019. the president has promised to get the economy back on track. and me and mas military is accused of using fighter planes to fire.

i'm guided, we missions into civilian areas, independent investigators say the john to has increased air attacks since last. he is qu, israeli forces have shot dead, a 16 year old palestinian boy in ramallah. am jad abu ala was shot in the chest, while demonstrating against settlers attacks in alamo high town? according to local sources, his funeral will be held later on friday and protest there has been killed in guineas capital during demonstrations against its military rule . is this anger because no date has been confirmed for elections after last is qu barbara and go. pam explains, protested thought guinea would quickly return to civilian rule. when they back to military coup against president out for condy last year. now they say they've been

duped, said manifest us when we did this protest is revenge against this regime. we thought the crew was a change, but no, it's just a change of facade. i support the f n d c. i supported in everything that it's doing. after taking power, the military promised a 3, a transition back to civilian rural. protest to say that's too long. and the west african regional block echo last agrees. g. d, aquiner county. i was in conner, cree with the president of the commission of vehicle, was to make the military john to understand the decision of the summit of heads of state that the transition cannot exceed 24 months. oh, the national front for the defense of the constitution or ethan d. c. is the coalition of political parties and civil society organizations founded in 2019. it led a wave of protest appears in congress plan to change the constitution and run for

a 3rd term. now it's demonstrating against the military who confesses that developed around the cooling september of 2021 is no longer there. that civil society and abrasion parties are determined to have his c. and if the hotel doesn't open up a more inclusive, more consultative, more transparent decision process, then we could be in real trouble in guinea can agree. the military hunter has fanned protest, but this demo straightened on listening. barbara, and get out of there. the democratic republic of congo is auctioning off licenses for oil and gas exploration. environmentalists say many of the 27 permits overlap national parks that a home to endangered species. climate activists point out that the exploration risks, the destruction of paint lands which hold vast quantities of c o 2,

the government officials say the country desperately needs the money. the local beta closes, that is our country is full of oil and gas resources that have for many years not been exploited. but today the president of the public has decided for the very 1st time to put these resources up for the benefit of the companies. people demit, i rating what they were be toko is project later for the congo base in forest. a green peas, africa. she says the sale will be a disaster for the country. it's really shocking to see that the company's officials are really to keep pushing this project to what we know this will not contribute to the local development communities to just say is coming to us that are living in those areas. they're not even informed about the project and we know how high the corruption is in this country. so we are really concerned because we are surely that it's only a fair, a very few number of population that we would benefit on this because of corruption

and the rest. what more than 100000000 communities will be in deep property that you see is a country that is calling itself, it's crucial contra to climate crisis. and we really hope that oratory says we had to us, we continue to talk to those investors who are trying to take that high risk and invest in this very destructive project. rushing up or just trying forest is not a top part of the solution. it's really a critical issue that we really hope that many people around the world will join us to stop it because it's really key for the church of the humanity. you know, this all project we're talking about a blogs and guys and more than 10 of these are located in forested area and bit land. and we know how the forest are in the us. the is playing a critical role to fight against damage change. and we're talking about a very sensitive ecosystem, quoting pity on that, the story more than a ton of carbon. and that is about 3 year of image of

a mission of the entire planet. that means any, all expectation in this area would be a carbon bomb that it will be exposed. and if you monitor won't be the same anymore, that's why we are calling for the top of this destructive all project in d. r. c. flat senior state of kentucky have killed at least 16 people, but that number is expected to rise. the governor has declared a state of emergency and wants the destruction could take several gays to pay tens of thousands of homes without power and move rainy's forecast. in a word, this event is devastating, and i do believe it will end up being one of the most significant deadly floods that we have had. i expect double digit deaths in this flooding. that's something that we rarely say. it's going to take time as the come in and us and talk about in a little bit. we have more rain tonight and some areas,

and we're going to need people to take some steps to keep them safe. otherwise, even the total that we expect could grow for me, you as president donald trump has defended hosting is sadie back golf tournament. and one of his courses and made a backlash from 911 families belie just event in the controversial lives series starts on friday. at the minster course in new jersey, which is about a 100 kilometers away from ground 0. some family members and survivors of the 2001 attacks urged trump not to host the event, because i believe saudi arabia aided the terrorists. nobody's gotten to the bottom of $911.00. unfortunately, they should have as to the maniacs that did that horrible thing to our city, to our country, to the world. so nobody's really been there. i've known these people for a long time. saudi arabia had been friends of mine for a long time. they've invested in many american companies, and frankly,

what they're doing for golf is so great. french president, emanuel mac crone, has met saudi crown prince. mom had been sell mine at the lisa palace, france and other european countries are trying to secure alternative sources to energy, to reduce that dependence on russian oil and gas. it's been solomon 1st official visits a year since jen les jamal shoji was murdered at the saudi consulate in the sample back in 2018 opposition and pays have heckled, peruse president. while he delivered a speech to mark his 1st year in office. pedro castillo is facing allegations of corruption. his supporters say the accusations are politically motivated. arianna sanchez, explains from lamer one year in office to unsuccessful impeachment proceedings more than 50 ministers dismissed, and bid august to your presidency here at its worst hour. he is facing 5 corruption

related proofs. the president denies any wrongdoing, close allies and family members are old under investigation. o one door, i have sworn by god to serve my country. even if my family is insulted every day, and the majesty of the presidency is offended, i submit myself to justice. the clever crimes this i am accused of with respect to jew proceeds. my jersey is always to tell the truth. ah, holiday call falls interrupted his speech. some left the chamber as the you admitted making mistakes in these past 12 months. but said his achievements have been ignored, unhealthy economy. so discontent of the majority of the us who demands this must ignition opinion polls say 71 percent of peruvians disapprove of his government. and for critics, there's no hope that his presidency can be rebuilt. good,

we want costio to understand that his cycle is over. he started his government with an anti corruption burner. however, there are already 5 fiscal investigations that clearly demonstrate that he is committed to corruption from the 52 year old rule teacher who was sworn in with his farmer's hat won the hearts of many who believed gusty. you is honest. yes i was, i got it. millennial, we know that he's a good person, and they who never steal of them, okay? during his 2nd year dest, you said, you will offer his hand to work for the good of the people. but to achieve that, he needs allies in a country rocked by political instability. castillo was expelled from his own party . opponents in congress will try to unseat him again for many who with their trust in him. his offers to work together may just be too late. and he and our son just, i'll just eat at lima, be to an official inquiry is now underway in hong kong, after 2 dances with a boy band way injured during a concerts,

a band mira was performing at the hong kong colosseum. while a giant screen fell into the stage 2 were heard, one is in a serious condition. the series of shows has been plagued by technical faults and questions are the safety. the u. k. is conservative party is being accused of jeopardizing face bench by introducing fees for the media to attend its annual conference. had a could excite the media. ticketing is a tax on democracy, and your simmons has more. birmingham is bustling as it hosts. the commonwealth games demand for tickets. is it an all time high? not so exciting though, is disturbing, caused by tickets for an altogether different event. here at the international convention center. it's the conservative party conference due in october. and all journalists have to have tickets costing up to $1500.00 each. people here

don't think that's right. sounds like a conservative to me. i think it's wrong, democratically and morally. but you know what? it won't that one of these 2 politicians richie sooner cool is trust will have won a party leadership election and become prime minister in september. that makes the conference even more newsworthy. we bought in accessible say, some journalists, it is unprecedented charging media to access their party conferences. it is effectively stopping a lot of people from going and therefore, it is a road lock in the u. k. democracy. so what's the fuss about? the conservative party is charging a $150.00 for journalist tickets booked early from august. the 1st they increase to a $1000.00. and the week before the conference, they're up to $1500.00. the labor opposition party tickets are $6.00, which it says is

a voluntary carbon offset charge. and that isn't just the scale of the cost that's causing consternation. a joint statement put out by media and free speech organizations along with the n u j. the journalist union in the u. k says that it causes a precedent to be set and other countries in the world could use financial barriers in order to prevent media scrutiny of political decision making. so should people be worried about the media having to pay for access to their elected politicians at a cost direct immigrant subject regardless of different subject altogether or what you say, i'm not going to that is for the conservative party to run, but i'm absolutely clear the democratic principle here is, ah, the politicians available to an accountable to the public and the answer is yes. you must, or is johnson is on the way out. rather controversy over how his party goes about fundraising remains. his spokespeople same media ticketing needs to cover things like.
