according to the health ministry, the fire that was parked by one of the a c, air conditioning devices in the 2nd floor, there was huge smoke and most people could not get out. and menu been by because a supposition from the smoke rather rather from the flames itself. an explosion at a market and armenia is capital. your yvonne has killed at least one person more than 20 others have been injured. the blast occurred in a building at this, or malo market where fireworks were being stored by do everything shattered in the 2nd. there are warehouses, technical rooms. it's like fireworks, fireworks, fireworks. everything happen in one minute. people could not get out of the store. maria, this is yana a journalist base in your yvonne and has the latest on the explosion. there has been no official announcement about the exact cause. we know that there was a firework, steptoe right beside the middle market,

and just up until about 1520 minutes ago fireworks were still going off. the smoke is still blazing. they're trying to douse it, but at the moment we don't have any official information as to the exact cause. the minister of emergency situations is on the ground as our dozens and dozens of fire trucks. at the moment. it is a very busy market. we do know that a 3 story building 3 walls have collapsed and now the, the main building itself is in danger of completely collapsing. we don't have any information as anybody has been pulled out of the rubble at the moment or how many people are actually trapped. but as you could see from the images that there was tremendous smoke and thus people just running for cover as other smaller buildings around the main market role. so collapsing, it's been utter shocked. this is the 1st time in my memory that such an explosion

it's complicated. everything is connected. there will be less snow in the mountains . the glaciers will melt sooner. this year there has been much less snow, so less water in the mountain lakes. so pumping of the lakes is lower to keep the water longer. over 3 weeks, 40 percent of the water held in reserve in hydro electric dams, in the pyrenees mountains has been released into the koran to keep it flowing. just heat waves in europe are increasing at a faster rate than almost anywhere else on the planet. and global warming increases the likelihood of drought drying out soils and vegetation. laven firewall ha minimum. so sometimes you make up a little pumpkin easily after morsel. we need 60 millimeters of rainfall to be able to replant the soil. crystal carpentier tells me that the forecast is for 3 millimeters this week. it's not enough. no. the corn harvest across france is expected to be 18 and a half percent lower this year than last. there's already a global shortage because of the war in ukraine. even the sunflower of turned away

shot a pedestrians and passengers on the bus and in a car pakistan is marking 75 years of independence in karachi. a ceremony is being held at the memorial for the countries founder mohammed outage and no british colonial rule ended in 1947 with the partition of india and formation of pakistan. come hider is in the hall with more across the country. the more as you can see behind me, this is a monument dedicated to budget, don norman, and me know, budget don or the location 19 are pretty tired. margie, all india muslim league bought the whole resolution bridge for a separate day for the muslims of the continent. of god died raj, monumental development in 1947, the country became an independent nation and 75 years. it's quite

a long time the country are celebrating the diamond jibley. and this is a country where the majority population under $30.00 catastrophe ward. but it has remained brazilian and of course everybody across budget started using their board. you know, i forget the political and other different mog independence day. so let's take a closer look at events leading up to the formation of pakistan. in june, 1947. during increasing sectarian violence, britain announced a plan for the partition of india. on august the 14th 1947 pakistan, celebrated its independence. largely muslim state was made up of what was been east and west pakistan, separated by more than 1500 kilometers of indian territory. the next day, the partition of india became official. 15000000 people were forced to move as the country splits. about 2000000 people died and the secretary and violence that came

with the migration within months of independence, india and pakistan were at war in kashmir. 75 years on it remains a disputed region. the sean sullivan dean is director of the center for a regional and global connectivity thing about lob he says the 75 years after partition focus on the one relations with india is going to be difficult. and while there is plenty of reason to celebrate and you know, people should be on the streets cheering and jubilant. i think for me personally, this is also very much a time for introspection, for august, and especially for the ruling political and military elite. and sort of asked ourselves why is that after 75 years boxed on still remains very squarely, myers and multi faceted economic, political, social, existential crises. so we've almost always for the 75 years of our history, you have have this almost always hostile neighbor and

a lot of domestic policies have also centered around countering mitigating and working against india and a lot of different ways to be perfectly blunt. if we were to sort of strip all of this away and really look at it from an economic perspective, india, pakistan really should be the ideal trade part. it's a massive market, but with the situation where it stands right now, the global geo political shifts, the u. s. strategy in the in the pacific as well as the current power center in india. that is very hard line along certain issues as well as the political instability and the inability for a little actors and bug fun because any kind of reconciliation. the party of kenya's, deputy president william retail has won the governorship of the capital, nairobi johnson chicago, a former senator for the capital gain control of east africa as wealthy a city. but the result of the race for the presidency have yet to be announced.

better and opposition leader rylon and ritual are neck and neck. come m a ration are being held in sierra leone to remember those who died in a mudslide 5 years ago. mud slides and flooding struck the capitol free town after days of torrential rains in august 2017. more than a 1100 people died and 1000 lost their homes. after the recent joining us from pentagon, that's just outside of free town in sierra leone. so 5 years on what's life like for survivors. and the reason it's difficult for many survivors, many of them are still homeless. many of them are still jobless and compound issues, certainly, and is going through a very difficult trace economic, difficult to get on my face and it's live unemployment, just high and public is rising among the population. we're talking about a country where the poverty rate is above 50 percent. so for survivors who i yet to recover for the why yet to get accommodation,

why yet to find closure to the disaster 2017. it's difficult. a lot of them say life has become more difficult then i will though some have been relocated and moved in with family members, but a lot of them are still suffering very so have lessons been learned so disaster 5 years ago. darin, it's very, very hot situation. if i move out of frame now out of the picture, the company will append to the he'll be behind us. and what you see that i new settlements actually coming up and this is not only in pentagon area, it's all across the city, all on the hill sites on either one of the hills and mountains surrounding the capital city. and these what's ca, what? 10 disaster in the future, they said it's not about if, but when another disaster will strike. if you look at the hillside,

the hill itself, you'll see that most of the trees are gone. so what the company is trying to do, especially when i go, we will motor me what the government was trying to do was to report. but yeah, so that at least there will be some for us to cover and also make this all a bit stronger. so that we can see the disasters we've seen in the last sort of in 2017. but unfortunately, deforestation is still going on at a very fast pace. so this is a very, very difficult thing. and enforcement of regulation. the government has only on ban logging and also it's floating the forest here in freetown and other sensitive areas. unfortunately, this has not been obeyed by members of the public enforcement of building regulations are still a big problem. people go on set up shop or set up businesses or set up houses without the approval of authority. some of the later they try to find some paperwork or get some people done. so as to legitimize that, that, that, that the buildings. so this is,

this is been going on for very long time. a lot of experts. yeah. environmentally. say the government must, must, are tough on this to stop this from happening again. all right, thank you so much, man. entities, reporting from sierra leone protestors. me and mar, want the military and tell it to be held accountable under international law for executing political activists. 3 weeks ago, the called commas democratically elected former leader accent c g is expected to testify in court this week. tony chang reports the another flash smith protesting against the recent executions on the streets of young gun mas biggest city. the court, they risk being jailed was the demonstrate to say the executions have made their opposition to military rule, even stronger. and one day the generals will face justice. blow your mind anything it's gone, we should hold the photo to, to leaders and the military accountable for what they have done, no exception for anything. that's what people strongly belief now for the families

of the executed men. the anguish continues. these pro military protest has came to denounce german, you known as co, jimmy outside his house. after his execution, his wife seemed with him in his family video and fled the home. but she told l. desert from a hidden location of the international community must do more than just condemning the execution. i'd like to emphasize the importance of impact in diplomacy. not just talking about a topic in diplomacy, condemnation, and urging do not work, especially in the case of our country. mamma, while there was much condemnation of the executions at a recent meeting of southeast asian foreign ministers, there was little talk of measures against me among military. others are taking a more proactive approach. i will chris gunner's new co jimmy when he was a student activist and it worked with him after his release from prison. now he's

trying to bring a criminal case against the gender in the turkish judicial system. so the gender can run, but they can't hide. there will be accountability against them just as there was against the war criminals in the balkans. it took years and years from a loss, a bitch and character managed to end up in the hague. but they did up and they did end up in the hague. we imap house accountability cases, criminal cases against the john to all around the world at the international court of justice in the hague man. mars already in the door. in late july, the court dismissed objections saying that a case brought by the gambia for genocide against the ringer, ethnic minority can proceed. although the trial may take years, the wheels of justice are in motion. tony chang al jazeera, the agents for authors, some undersea says he is no longer on a ventilator and is on the long road to recovery. a man accused of stabbing him has been identified as 24 year old had the mater. he's pleaded not guilty to attempted
