6:05 am
they must withdraw their troops from our territory and only done as fighting continues to rate in ukraine, southern and eastern regions. civilians continue to die in what keith says. i targeted russian attacks on residential areas. it's been almost 6 months since the war began, and thousands of people continue to be evacuated, injured, and killed. and that white crucial to find a way to a cease fire to prevent further loss of life. that is how i just see that live eve, ukraine. well, let's bring and john herbst is a former us ambassador to ukraine and joint us live from fairfax in virginia. and ambassador hubs good to have you with us. so this latest u. s. security aid package to ukraine brings the total spend to somewhere around $10000000000.00. you think this war is fast becoming a financial quagmire for the biden administration? i think it's a military quagmire. for aggressive problem, and i think that by demonstration understands it. prudence objectives go beyond
6:06 am
archiving ukraine, but to establishing great influence over nato countries. and therefore, the smart things the united states to do is to help you crane defend itself and stop russia in ukraine. and, but some critics would say though, that, but all the security aid being given by washington just escalates the military situation. on the ground. i mean, the ukrainians now have high tech, high mas artillery. the russians now say they're deploying hypersonic missiles. i mean, the battle space is clearly getting much more kinetic, much more deadly. well, actually, it's really more deadly for the russians, which means they're unable to conquered were territory. let's keep in mind that every day moscow is committee war crimes. they have kidnapped at least 400000 or 600000 ukranian children, and had to lensky were to see more territory to russia. there was a more ukrainian civilians, women, and children who be subject to russia, war crimes, and kidnapping into russia. that's the real problem. and yesterday we saw the un
6:07 am
2nd general and the turkish president visit ukraine to hold talks about the threat of a nuclear accident that europe's biggest nuclear power plant at zap arissa. how worried are you ambassador? about these nuclear plants being caught up in the war. i think this is a very dangerous situation. and i think it behooves the crime when to remove its weapons and its soldiers from inside the nuclear plant, which is exactly what's happening moscow's playing with fire. and how much longer can russia and ukraine keep up this conflict at this level of destruction? i mean, it's also caused a global food and energy crisis. it's threatening at nuclear catastrophe. where is the off ramp to end this war? then? do you think? well, let's understand something 1st, that there is a global food crisis because moscow is blockading the shipment of ukrainian grain. 2 countries that need that running, it's not the war, it's russian blockade of ukraine to, to not just to harm you. cray, but quit to create collateral damage,
6:08 am
but the work go on for some time. because keep in mind, the russian objectives to dictate the politics of ukraine is to quote, unquote, quote me, video of the former prison of russia to de ukrainian eyes you cry. that's why some people call this genocide, so the ukrainians, not just body for their freedom, but they are fighting for the existence as ukrainians. they are fighting for their lives for their culture. ah, but because of that, they're fighting fiercely and with the weapons we provide mosque, i was unable to conquer ukraine. so the world will stop and put in realized he cannot achieve objectives by aggression john herbs really good to get your thoughts . thank you very much for talking to rodney. thank you. my pleasure. now the new estate department says israel has agreed to provide more details about why it shut down 7, palestinian, and jose in the occupied westbank. it's ready for his right of the organizations early on thursday, as part of what the government says, our efforts to combat terrorism. the palestinian authority says the groups targeted

6:10 am
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 since before the arab israeli war of $1967.00 will continue to fund. we will continue to help this as situations as long as the outward ping within but a single those and they are, we have license them. the submit to reports, annual basis. the un condemned the rates and called on israel to immediately reverse its decision. it's unclear what long term effect the rates will have on the ability of these organizations to operate. employee say the only thing illegal here
6:11 am
is the, is really raise their cleaning up and say they'll continue their mission to serve the palestinian people. natasha name l g 0 west jerusalem. it's been a 100 days since his writing forces shocking killed al jazeera journalist, showing a barclay in janine vigil was held at altos, air arabic headquarters in doha. the network has been calling for those who killed her to be brought to justice. and another vigil was held in jeanine in the occupied west bank where sharina was killed in may. community members and her colleagues gather to remember the journalist known as the voice of palestine, and the u. n. continues to demand accountability for kenning, our position on near the, the, the killing of a shitty now block late is a, is unchanged. we still want this matter to be a thoroughly investigated and for add those responsible for the killing to be held

6:15 am
welcome back to remind about top stories at this hour, at least for explosions of hit on military airport in russian occupied crimea. attacks on russian military facilities in the peninsula increased in the last week . ukraine's president is held talks with his turkish counter bought on the you and 2nd, general individual was impact on global food prices on risks to europe's biggest nuclear plant. were high on the agenda and the u. s. as israel will provide more details about white shut down, 7, palestinian, and jose in the occupied west bank on thursday. earlier. israel said some of the groups of funnel don't a to palestinian fighters. organizations denied us in iraq talks aimed at ending a months long. political deadlock are at risk despite most leaders agreeing on wednesday to work on a road map out of crisis. allies of inferential, she eyed lead and looked at asada. refusing to take part in the dialogue led by the caretaker prime minister mustafah ha ha to me. 10 months after general election, iraq still has no government because of disagreements of a forming
6:16 am
a coalition. but what up to wall had has more from a capital. iraq's parliament is still in limbo, supporters of say at lee that i'm up to the southern. continue that sit in in front of the parliament and they say they're not planning to leave the area until their demands are met. their demands include the parliament be dissolved an early elections be held as a way out of the current political deadlock. so there has recently rejected at a national dialogue initiative by the caretaker prime minister, most of us called me in a meeting that was attended by president of the state. but i'm solid and the 2 former prime ministers nori and malik. and either la betty, along with other political leaders, as will as the representative of the united nations and iraq, janine clos, hot. so the speakers has just stated that that meeting was fruitless and it's only meant to serve the stake holders political interests. meanwhile,
6:17 am
the coordination of framework, the pro raynan political, a block urging their supporters to continue their counter sit in an outside defenses of the green zone. they say that they will continue their sit in to protest against what they consider the occupation of the parliament by so the supporters and against their aggression against the state sovereignty saw that once the parliament be dissolved nearly elections be held. on the other hand, the pre arrangement coordination of framework once before elections being held, a transitional government, the formed but saw the rejects. that option, saying that if a transitional government be formed, it will be including only those accused of corruption and mismanagement, freeze. the situation remains very tense with both rival factions holding onto
6:18 am
their situations. so with that deep division, there is no sign of abating, at least for the time being. the afghan taliban supreme leader has condemned wednesday's attack on a cobble mosque which killed $32.00 people about to the arkansas to report that he spoke at a gathering of more than $2500.00 taliban officials in the southern city of kandahar . the meeting was held to mark the 1st anniversary of the taliban rule is re a public appearance followed a string of bomb attacks across the country. on the from an ex eric was also killed in wednesday's explosion. after that mosque had happened during evening. prayers adore against him to report this mosque in cobble was packed with people when a bomb exploded. a prominent cleric, malvina, mia mohammed koobooley was killed in the attack. so were many of his students. and the more little the rose, it was evening prayer time, and i was attending the prayers with others when the explosion happened. it was a very powerful blas inside the mosque. many people were mastered and wounded on
6:19 am
some of the victims were brought to this hospital, which is run by an italian humanitarian organization from the blast to to see vain thought that if i patience am duet dead on arrival. one died in our emergency room 8th received that treatment and were there later on discharged, while 24 hour admitted in our hospital. mainly dangers are due to the shell and burner outside the hospital. relatives waited for news. some of them were in the mosque when the bomb exploded. they said people will hold through the windows by the force of the blast that before go after it was a huge explosion of so many people were killed and injured to animal are brought to injured relatives to this hospital. the taliban says security has improved since it took power a year ago. but several attacks have taken place at mosques in recent months. why does it happen? i think it would the fall of copeland and so on. somehow, my, this religious conflicts of been considered a,
6:20 am
the biggest cleared to the security gun. it's done. i says, sir, has been brought to grammar. it's the action for the appellate bumps games. ha, ha, ha ha. the taliban has been cracking down on armed groups. this latest attack is a reminder that security remains one of its big challenges, victoria gay to be al jazeera. now a miniature exhibition and south korea's capital has been showing off the latest andrew technology that sounds the countries alms, industry emerges of the largest export in the world, helped in part of the war and ukraine. rob mcbride report from salt it some of the latest military drone technology that's transforming the way war risk falls from stealthy surveillance high above the battlefield. to sudden precision attacks down onto it. they're used by both sides in the war in ukraine has increased
6:21 am
interest globally. thrown on. we have seen drones been widely used in ukraine, which shows data, se city is increasing. so i think the market is getting bigger and bigger at high tech weapon making. it's supported by south korea as advanced manufacturing, just as it's precision and heavy engineering have helped it become a leading supplier now benefiting from the war in ukraine. for south korea, the war provides both opportunity, but also risk. it is stopped short of supplying weapons directly to ukraine for fear of angering. russia, which exert influence over north korea. but the war has also increased demand from east european nations who want to buy ever more nato standard equipment. south korea has used its alliance with us and friendly ties with nato to position itself as the supplier of choice, signing its biggest, ever single arms deal with poland for tanks,
6:22 am
self propelled guns and fighter jets to replace equipment that poland sent to you crane pretty and i thought john, john, good, i'm going through the nato summit. we exported the k to tank the canine howard here and f, a 50 jack to poland, achieving our biggest ever arms sail. last year, south korea's military exports set a record of more than $7000000000.00. a figure that is already eclipsed by sales this year. thanks in part to fighting thousands of kilometers away in eastern europe. robert bride al jazeera sol, media companies in the us are going to court to get more information about the f. b i search of donald trump's home journalists want to see a partially redacted version of the affidavit used to search the former president's property f. b. i agent found 11 sets of classified documents while searching his home last week. the justice department says if the affidavits made public, it'll compromise its investigation. brazilian president j, both an arrow grabbed
6:23 am
a heckler outside his home on thursday, just days after kicking off his presidential reelection campaign, i owe to narrow, lunged, and tried to snatch the phone off the man shouting at him. his quick temper has often been the focus of attacks by critics, his county trailing former president, luna da silva in all holes ahead of october's election. the leaders of serbian kosovo have failed to reach a compromise in a dispute of a vehicle license plates. but they have agreed to hold further. e, you mediated talks in the coming days, ethnic serbs in kosovo, are opposing new rules to swap their serbian issue plates for local ones. it's one of several outstanding issues. the 2 sides have to resolve to move forward with their e. u membership lives. at least 41 people have been killed in forest fires in algeria as emergency crews battle a string of fires across the country out of there was gillian wolf as this report.
6:24 am
people here say it's like a tornado of fire that swept away everything with him. so those who survived are trying to figure out what happened as they assess the damage that i had to sort of though i don't understand how it happened. it was like a whirlwind. i help the children, ronald. i couldn't do anything because what was happening outside it, but you can see my house, the garage is destroyed. i couldn't say anything. it's god's will. thank god, the children aside. forest fires have become an annual occurrence in algeria, where climate change is turning large areas into a tinderbox. most of the death this time have occurred in the l. tarp region near the eastern border with 2 nicea temperatures of reached 48 degrees celsius. hundreds of people have had to flee their homes with may more having suffered from burns or respiratory issues as
6:25 am
a result of the smoke. some are blaming arsenic. bullshit of ethnic is what you gain when you set a fire and people die. what does the arsonist gain from setting these fires? i hope his heart burns. across the country, dozens of fires are still burning with authorities concerns. strong winds in a blistering heat wave could spark new flames that they are ill equipped to fight chillin wolf al jazeera. now the rhyme river flows through 6 european countries. it's a key waterway for transporting coal iron and other natural resources, but weeks of high temperatures and little and no rainfall. i made it impossible for many ships, though when it came reports 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
6:26 am
no rainfall have changed things. or we see right now with a low, a water levels in rivers is the new normal or it's even worse. 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 diesel doth 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. the shipping ones in particular because they look at the ryan is, 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,
6:27 am
reforming or on ships bringing salt here from higher on usually carry almost $2200.00 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, wetter weather to replenish the fine. but some scientists say that too could bring danger if it starts to rain untouched, dry soils, the water cannot infiltrate into the soil. and so we diety, gets off, is run off into the water. it runs out of the system of catchment and produces such
6:28 am
restaurants as we know from, from california. for example, the rhine has run dryer in summer before, but not often. it will have to rain a lot to return the river to its more normal state. dominant cane al jazeera cologne. there been protests in india after 11 men convicted of raping a muslim women were released from prison. the victim who was 3 months pregnant at the time, was attacked during hindu was been riots in good herat in 2002. a 3 year old daughter was murdered during them soon. valez. the men had been jail for life, but were released from prison on the mission. earlier this week. de, by based emberts airlines is suspending flights to nigeria from next month because has been unable to repatriate millions of dollars of revenue. the company has $85000000.00 stuck in nigeria, but it says efforts to start dialogue with authorities to transfer the funds of so far been unsuccessful. international air transport association says carriers have
6:29 am
an estimated $450000000.00 stuck in the country. scientists in australia and the u . s. are hoping to bring the tasmanian tiger back from extinction, also known as a file, a seen the last animal died in captivity in 1936. researches want to take stem cells from a living species with similar dna. and then use gene editing to create an animal very similar to a tasmanian tiger. but there's been criticism about attempts to bring animals back from extinction. but bend lamb is some colossal bio sciences. thus the company involved in the project. he explained why and how he wants to bring back the tasmanian tiger. the story of the calving entire is a tragic one. it was actually hunted 100 percent to extinction by me unkind in early settlers in tasmania and in australia. and what was crazy about the story was not only with the hunting to extinction, it was also given and it's a terrible reputation that it was eating sheep which none of that was true. and so
6:30 am
it's a great opportunity for us to leverage cutting, edge generic editing technology to bringing back a species that man eradicated under completely false pretenses that we already off to the right start. so 1st we map existing genomes of the specimens that we have in the case of a 1000. we've got incredible specimens. we also have 100 the pelts specimen. so we can even do population genome studies understand not just one genome, but a lot of genome of different styles. and then we compare that to the same process that we do with its closest living relative, which in this case is called of the little more super called the fat done are. and then after we look at the genome, we do all the computational biology to understand the differences in the genes that create the trait. we didn't use cutting edge technologies like christopher and a few others to actually combine those genomes and create a resulting embryo. ah .
