2:06 am
combat terrorism. palestinian authority says groups targeted all humanitarian institutions. natasha kaneen was from west jerusalem. ha ha ha ha ha to her is really soldiers ran through the doors of darkened offices, rifled through documents and confiscated property in ramallah. 7 non governmental organizations were rated, including those serving palestinian women and children, and providing legal assistance on their way out. the soldiers seal doors and declared the offices closed. employee said these are humanitarian organizations helping palestinians living under israeli occupation. are we going to take a water leak, realty, i, from my viewpoint polar, a lot of unity is coming from the near total foldable, long working a little. and also it comes from our people, you know, on the, comes from the victims. you put a few new victims. this is, you know,
2:07 am
a lot of legitimacy. the israeli defense minister designated the non governmental institutions as terrorist organizations. israel says they are tied to the popular front for the liberation of palestine, which it also deems a terrorist organization. the government accuses these groups of operating under false pretenses of providing humanitarian assistance when in fact, they're helping recruit fighters raising money and engaging in fraud. the palestinian prime minister says some of the organizations targeted have been in existence before the arab israeli war of $1967.00 will continue to fund. we will continue to help these and solutions as long as they are working with them to. but a syndrome goes and we have lice and them with the un doug the rate and hold on israel to immediately reverse it's decision. it's unclear
2:08 am
what long term effect the rates will have on the ability of organizations to operate. employee say the only thing illegal here is these really raise their cleaning up they, they'll continue their mission to serve the palestinian people. natasha can h l 0. was jerusalem. ok, let's get more less. we can speak to jennifer bang, who directs the palestine activism program at american friends service committee. she is live in chicago, illinois. good to have you on the program. why do you think these organizations happen shots? well, it's clear to me that this outrageous action is an attempt to silence these organizations that have been exposing the israeli government's human rights abuses . it's been something that has been ongoing. there been decades of the escalation of raids and attacks on palestinian civil society organizations as of
2:09 am
last year, these 6 human rights organizations that are some of the most well respected palestinian human rights organization and the world were criminalized by israel. and today we were out just outraged to see that their offices were rated and, and, and shut down. tell me a bit more about these organizations. what exactly is it that they do and how will their closure affect the palestinian people? well, it's clear that the work that they do to document the israeli occupations, abuses like we've seen in gaza in recent weeks and ongoing in the west bank with home demolitions and imprisonment of children and, and providing documentation to the international court of to hold israel accountable this is the key work that they do. and it really behooves to our
2:10 am
government here in the united states to provide so much support to the israeli government over $3800000000.00 and military funding to get them this, this re down the human rights defenders to do such critical work for their community and also for the, the possibility of a just and lasting peace between palestinians and israelis. we have seen the u. s. intervene asking israel for more clarification, more information. you hopeful that could lead to something possibility the reversal of this? well, it, it's a beginning. i mean, they need to do more than just to ask for more information. i mean, it's pretty clear what happened here. there's, it's caught on camera and as they said, this isn't something new. this kind of attempt to criminalize these
2:11 am
organizations and with no evidence, you know, the claims that were made earlier. there's no documentation that these organizations are doing anything. but what is clear to provide documentation for the human rights abuses that are ongoing. and you know, i, i think there are members of congress who are beginning to speak out about this. but we, we need to, you know, we in the civil society and people who are advocating for palestinian human rights need to, to speak louder and demand more from the american administration who claims to center human rights and its foreign policy. okay. really good to talk to jennifer being the director of the palestine activism program, the american friends service committee. thank you. thank you. it's been a 100 days since israeli forces shot and killed out there. a jealous sharina block

2:21 am
critic say removing 3 zeros from the currency won't show up. it's about critics, a previous monetary policy and sort of young hit the reality of the economy by adding zeroes to the currency. as a result, the noun lost his value and inflation worse, and the governor of the central bank says the decision was tough to make. given the cost of printing new notes on taking the old ones out of saturation. i would not have done this at this time, but the cost for the economy, the cost a reserves that a sentra bank, as we kept month on a monthly basis, $14.00 out dollars to give to people who are whored, a list of bring it into the system so that a economy can keep going. doing that for a foreseeable future, we would have a wasted, our entire reserves. some banks and business people say the public response and
2:22 am
acceptance of the new courtesy has been encouraging. this no one make it more easy for us. because you can have 50000000 over the 50000000 without that of thieves to follow you. because if anyone put it back by for the whole money, you can feel the rolled by them. okay. come from and leslie said, oh, you a lot of weeks to the t. so in 2020 the central bank spent $68000000.00 showing up de leon. now it isn't saying how much the initiative will cost, but it will be hoping it will riley, the currency, and the economy committees, al jazeera, free town steadily on. the rhine river flows through 6 european countries. it is a key was away for transporting coal iron and on the national was o says the weeks of high temperatures, missile and no rainfall have made it impossible for many ships. on
2:23 am
a dominant came the ports now from cologne. it could almost be a picture postcard of the rhine goods barges chug up and down the river, while children explore the pebbles on the bank. and yet a closer look shows something else. for in most summers, much of this area would be submerged. but months of high temperatures and little or no rainfall have changed things, or we see right now with a low or water levels in rivers is the new normal or it's even worse of the new normal will be even more extreme. we have seen a global temperature increase of 1.2 degrees on global average right now seen from overhead. the situation is clear, this satellite image of nearby dusseldorf shows the river. now, this one, how it was in the same place, 12 months ago, if the science of what's happening is clear, the practical application of it is causing problems for many different companies.
2:24 am
the shipping ones in particular because they look at the rhine as it is now and have real concerns about how deep it is and how easily they can navigators. and crucially how much each of their vessels can carry. for one or 3rd, one ships bringing salt here from high up on usually carry almost 2200 tons. now they're arriving with $600.00 tons. and that shows the less water, the less cargo on the ships. and in this year of war in ukraine, there is another drawback with russian coal now embargoed across the e. u. many companies have paid to ship a non russian alternative via the rhine instead. but as the demand has risen, so the water levels to allow it to be delivered have dwindled. right now, most shipping companies are concentrating on the near future with autumn just weeks away. they expect its cooler,

more than 650 people in the south west of the country. the government has sent help, but many say the response has been too slow. catcher, lopez heard a young has more. most of these people have lost. everything. floods have swept to the village of tanza in south west pakistan, destroying their homes, and livelihoods, roads that were clear just weeks ago, have turned to lakes, leaving thousands stranded it. oh, we've had more rain, misha. he's had a severe impact on many areas along the river. belt the water is level off in some parts talked about it already destroyed, harms crops, and infrastructure. the aftermath is overwhelming. more than a 1000000 people have been affected by flash floods and landslides, and hundreds have died across 4 provinces. w climate change officials say is fueling unpredictable weather patterns. entire communities across baluchistan
2:27 am
province are homeless. when you look at the amount of frayne, which has fallen on baluchistan province itself, it's $450.00 times. what belushi stung, receive in a normal year. so it destroys the home, it destroys the livestock, you know, life, folk droning. it destroys the infrastructure, of course, bridge road, and it destroyed the crop. what would it oliver authority say? nothing could have prepared them for the extent of this year's monsoon reigns, the army is helping displays communities, but many survivors say the response has been slow on by the other that another man, we're not getting enough help from the government. we hear a lot of promises, but on the ground it's for people who are suffering. we have no food, no water, and we are living under the open skies at the mercy of god. more heavy rains are expected in southwest pakistan in the coming days. it's yet another concern for
2:28 am
families who lost everything and are forced to sort over caterpillar young al jazeera. at least 41 people have been killed and dozens injured in forest fires in north east and algeria. most of the desk when altov province near the border with our prices and helicopters, trying to contain a 118 fires in 21 districts. von storm is hit. the french island of corsica, killing 3 people. hurricane force winds uprooted trees and left tens of thousands without power. a 13 you'll go hit 5 forwarding trailer campsite was among those killed. 2 people critically injured. now, scientists in australia and the u. s. a hoping to bring back the tasmanian tiger back from extinction. also known as ty, last seen,
2:29 am
the animal died in cub passivity. back in 1936 researches say they want to take stem cells from a living species with similar dna and then use gene edison technology to create an animal very similar to the tasmanian tiger. but there's been consistent skepticism about hems to bring back animals from extinction. will bend. lamb is the caea of colossal bias science is the company involved in this project explains why and how he wants to bring back the tasmanian tiger. the story of the carrying entire is a tragic one. it was actually hunted 100 percent to extinction by mankind in early settlers in tasmania and in australia. and was crazy about the story was not only was it hunted to extinction, it was also given in it's a terrible reputation that it was eating sheep which none of that was true. and so it's a great opportunity for us to leverage cutting edge ginoma's editing technology to
2:30 am
bring back a species that man eradicated under completely false pretenses. we've already off to the right start. so 1st we map existing genomes of the specimens that we have in the case of the 1000. we've got incredible specimens. we also have 100 the pelts specimen. so we can even do populations. you know, my study understand not just one genome but a lot of genome of different style team. and then we compare that to the same process that we do with its close is living relative, which in this case is called of the little parts to be called the fat field done are. and then after we look at the genome, we do all the computational biology to understand the differences in the genes that creates a trait. we then use cutting edge to. busy technologies like christopher and a few others to actually combine the genome, create a resulting embryo. ah, this is al jazeera, these, your top stories.
