a band on independence day celebrations because of an increased threat of attacks by russian forces. ah, robinson, this is audra 0 alive from doe hub, also coming up as early as government agrees to conduct an inquiry into former prime minister scott morrison's secret holding of 5 ministerial posts. former u. s. president. donald trump wants a federal court to prevent the f. b, i looking at documents seized from his florida home and 10 mine workers still trop to underground and mexico. after 3 weeks, his rescue efforts a blocked by flooding. ah, russia says ukraine's secret service is behind the killing of the daughter of one of president vladimir putin's key allies. 29 year old darya davina died when

a car exploded, as she was driving near moscow on saturday. her father, alexander dugan, was travelling in a car behind her. both had been vocal supporters of russia's invasion of ukraine. many russians have been grieving after the guineas death. people have been gathering at this makeshift memorial in moscow. president vladimir putin says the attack is evil, and a father's released a written statement saying victory in ukraine is the only way to avenge her killing moscow claims the attack was carried out by ukrainian woman. in her forties, russian security services have released this video showing the alleged assassin. they see she's linked to the as of battalion, it's a unit of ukraine's army that rushes designated a terrorist group. they say they're not involved yet. no, i don't know her personally, this woman. secondly, the documents they showed don't belong to a person serving in the as of potassium. this is obvious because of the uniform she

is wearing and her military id. this woman does not serve in the as of battalion. nigel gold. davis is a senior fellow for russia and eurasia. the international institute for strategic studies is as rush as claims don't hold up and a close examination. on the one hand it, sir, if their version is to be believed, then it represents the massive intelligence failure. it's not a small matter for song to be blown up in or around moscow. but secondly, and equally impulsively, it seems to me that they claim to have solved the case with unprecedented speed it typically, kate takes months or even years or often never for political mergers to be sol. and yet the f. s. b, the russia security says claims with don, this matter of ours. and i think everyone looking the kind of details that providing are you come to the conclusion, there's nothing credible about the story that they have put together. it almost

seems, in a bizarre way designed to be disbelieved, the ideal to a woman and her 12 year old daughter drove into russia in a mini cooper and then fled the scene or having carried out this bombing. but none of it seems to add up, and yet of course, it's very boring. now the russia is claiming that ukraine is behind it. and the next question is, what all follow from that? in cave authorities of band independence day events this week president of laudermill zalinski, as one of the russia could launch attacks. and the lead up to the celebrations occur if he has been announced in the northern city of khaki van in the south people. and nikolai of have been told to remain vigilant. that is, a bo is in cave, and she says, authorities are on high alert. i had of independence day celebrations. ukraine is getting ready to celebrate 31 years of independence from a soviet rule. and it also marks the 6 months since the nation on this country

began. president vodo the me to fill in the address the nation, where he said that people should be getting ready for russia, carrying out something very cool. he literally said that this week we could try to do something particularly ugly and particularly vicious. and that's why he has announced that they will suspend any type of gatherings, among other things, the military administrator of this capital have that security for to here need to be ready to prevent any type of incident like mix hello hot for bombs, among other things. and this is happening on the latest incident how russia, security services accusing ukraine of being behind the killing of. c died he had to be nash, the daughter of a cloth advice, or to bloody me putting she was killed in a car bombed a few days ago in moscow and russia accusing ukraine. we have not heard from you carrying yet, but suddenly this race is the alarm here. another thing that has been wasting,

the alarms, are that reports by intelligence community that russia has been amassing miss aw than other types of weapons in bolero. is there any official say rushes fired rockets? 3 tons close to the zappa leesha nuclear plant injury. at least 4 people. europe's largest nuclear site has come under repeated shelling and recent weeks raising fears of a disaster. it's been under russian control since march. the 2 sides blame each other for the attacks last has requested a un security council meeting to discuss this situation at the plant across the river from the plant say the continued shelling is extremely dangerous. should remember sitting in general, it was one reactor. here there are 6, it could be more than 6 times bigger. it no ship, he all will die, not only us in ukraine, the whole earth will die because this is very serious. here, there are 6 blocks with the un secretary general has called for heightened efforts

to guarantee the safety of ukraine's nuclear facilities. the same commitment to dialogue and results must be applied to the critical situation at this upwards the nuclear power plants id affirm that united nations, as he knew, grain the logistics and security capacities to support the mission of international atomic energy agency from cave to support its year and we continue the relentless search for p. c. new crane and across the globe. in line with united nations charter and international law. on the us president donald trump is trying to temporarily block the investigation into the materials seized by f. b. i. agents from florida home 2 weeks ago, trans lawyers have asked a federal court to hold the examination of the documents until a neutral official known in the us law as a special master can oversee to review my canada as more from washington dc. he's instructed his lawyers to go to court, to demand that

a special master be appointed by the court to supervise the filtering of the material. a special master is a judicial figure, sometimes, sometimes to form a judge whose independent of all parties. so now it's up to the federal court to decide whether to replace the d, o, j f o to teen with an independent character, as demanded by the president trump lawyers. it's a legal battle because this is the 1st legal action that comes lawyers abroad since that search at morrow lago. but also in the course of this week, what is happening is the department of justice had asked the judge in this case, who issued the original warrant to seal the affidavit on the basis of which the warrant was issued. this is the evidence that the f b i had collected the department of justice does not want this made public. the judge will decide on thursday whether or not to unseal that affidavit, or he may decide to feel it in

a redacted form. he's on the department of justice to give him a redacted form to look at. if he's satisfied, he will make it public. if not, he may draw up his own document that is rejected. but even that would remain under seal until the department of justice has gone to appeal, which it is certain, it will do. at least 2 people have been killed out of violent anti government protests and hating the protests instead of burning barricades and confronted security forces in the capital. 40 tons, at least one person was shot by an, an identified gunman in protest as a demanding the resignation. appointments and i already demonstrated angry over a few shortages and soaring prices. gang violence and kidnappings of surged in haiti in recent months because of political instability. we are protesting against the gas shortage against hunger insecurity. look how bend. it's like the

prime minister shot one of us. we say that too much, we are tired of the thing we have people will demonstrate with our plates and spoons in blankets and pillows in front of ariel and retires to ask him to resign. because hunger and insecurity are killing us all hauled. isaac, his heidi base journalist, he says the protests of only grown bigger. haiti is facing a compound set of crises where we have inflation affecting the whole world is affecting us as well. their gas shortage is severe criminality. we're kidnapping and gang violence massacre over the last few weeks. and therefore, the government so far has been rather weak in its responses and haven't been able to address these realities that are affecting daily lives for the prime minister,

being contested throughout the course of the mandate in the last year. remember that he has been tapped. 2 days before the death of president lee last july and ever since has been at inter him prime minister and we are very, very fragile mandates and such. today with all these challenges, the government seems to be very short of answers to, to the situation and unable to answer to, to the demand of the people. winks a protest by coco groves in bolivia have come to a head with consultations in the streets of the largest city, la pas demonstrators through sticks of dynamite, and police responded with tear gas. one organization of coca grows is demanding. the government drop its backing for a separate group of producers. the coca leaf is legal in bolivia and sold and

miners may have accidentally punctured a hole into an adjacent mine, one of 2 that's abandoned and also flooded, so causing a catastrophic flood or the peanut, with a mind, a trapping. 10 of these men inside. now what we're seeing happening behind is for emergency workers who are drilling wells. these wells are then there's are the cameras that are sent down into the well to determine how high the water level is. now the gentleman that we spoke to off the record told is that every well that they've looked at has shown very little progress in terms of water levels going down ins. authorities tell us that if they are unable to bring that water level down, there is no rescue mission. there is no way to reach these miners. and after 19 days without communication, without food drinking water, without any guarantee that there is any breathable air left inside of that man, inside of that mine, many people here have lost hope that they will be reunited with their loved ones alive. sort of had an old, a 0. 0,

a ukrainian woman escaped to estonia after the bloss keeps denied involvement. former us president donald trump is moving to temporarily block an f b i investigation. his lawyers have asked a federal court to hold the examination of documents seized. was florida home until a neutral official can oversee the review. at least 2 people and kill to haiti after anti government protests, turn violence crowds with demanding the prime minister's resignation. they're angry over escalating violence and the rising cost of living externally, as government says, an inquiries needed and to why former prime minister scott morrison's secretly held 5 ministerial posts. he didn't break the law when appointing himself to the post during the corona virus pandemic. but a report by the solicitor general, but just been released, said morris, his actions fundamentally undermined responsible government. the inquiry will know to examine what happened and how it happened. it will also need to examine what the

implications, ah, for what occurred. whether there are any legal issues that arise, which is why we will be looking at some mom with i serious legal background to undertake the inquiry. and then thirdly, it knows to look at future reform, how we can ensure that this doesn't happen in the future. or close to him in our life from brisbin necessary, there's going to be an inquiry. what else is the prime minister being saying? well, the legal advice stuff on the solicitor general is the license development and extraordinary side of the broke last week. and as we just heard, the solicitor general has advised ethnic albany that he's been newly elected a prime minister salia that these are the appointed a self appointed ministerial portfolio for scott morrison were in fact legal. he

found that they were allowed, i should know that that would help fun at home, a phase resources and treasure. now the questions were raised by the solicitor general on the way it was done, the fact that they were secret. united bits of number one got more from the full prime minister, didn't tell, at least for those missed he didn't tell how much he didn't tell cabinet and he didn't tell the public. now, the solicitor general did not doing this, according himself to multiple ministries, does undermine the convention here in australia and certainly a strategy is democratic system of government. now, the governor general saw these appointments between 20202021. questions have been raised about why or his role and all of these. the solicitor general also advised on tuesday that the governor general does not have the discretion to refuse to accept the advice of the prime minister. what you did here was that the current climate of the navy has enough and his own inquiry that was agreed to by cabinet and the prime minister. today, the framework is yet to be advised. it will not be

a political which, according to albany, the he said it will be an independent legal operator who oversee that inquiry and what that inquiry will look to do. we do close the loopholes where a prime minister political leader can self appointed self without telling. we're sharing a details, although portfolio announcements and he's knowing that in his press conference, which is just being held that from now on, all minister portfolios will be invested and be made public. but the saga is not yet to a push from within. got martin's. i'm partly the conservative coalition could certainly having stand down, and that's been a biblical book, lay one by one of his former ministers, karen andres, who held behind the same position. and of course, he appoint himself to as a joint minister to that portfolio. and she's encouraging him to stand out from his seat. so thank you very much. indeed, sir clark talking to us from brisbin i want to bring in. bernard king is a political editor at crikey dot com. it's an independent use website is also the author of allies and falsehoods, the morrison government,

and the new culture of the cities. joining us now live from semi good to have you with us, so on al jazeera, so this apparently was not an illegal act. but why would ministers be allowed to take over portfolios and secret it will that reflects the fact that our constitutional starting constitution is extraordinarily vague. document and this is, this is something that doesn't even mentioned the fact that there is a prime minister. so minutia, i live where you can be one minister or 2 or several. i certainly isn't covered off the fact that this was legal is actually pretty. i mean, it's not a surprising interpretation from the solicitor general, but it is an important one because scott martin did type one decision, actually exercise. and these powers members to block a very big gas drilling operation off the coast to see the block for political reasons. it was a threat to say it's held by his own party anonymous. that decision is even now

being challenged coolant. one of the key issues with bait, whether it was mostly my bias, scott morrison, and he's sort of strange co role as minister for that relevant portfolio. but nonetheless, the big question that is still unresolved off rule is on the, not just not morrison has spoken at length about this. it's why he did it and why he didn't tell his colleagues that remains a mystery. and perhaps someone will be shown on that for the forthcoming, likely, at full time inquiry likely to be conducted by some sort of for what additional figure or senior legal figure. and he referred there to, to one decision that he did take was told in one of these portfolios. but what kind of influence and authority would it have given him the potential to have if he held these ministerial portfolios jointly? one of the things, one of the power they had was an extraordinary discretionary power in relation to

spending. so as a result of these multiple hopefully as he held directed. busy over hundreds of millions of dollars, nearly a $1000000000.00 worth of grants, that he had direct discretionary authority over sustained as he sold it. almost certainly as this being the history of his government in a partisan manner. but the she brought to the portfolios really gives you an indication of just how extraordinary the powers were the treasury portfolio. you know, the finance portfolio, which deals with internal government spending or forward is, you know, behind the facebook which is responsible for national security for policing as well as immigration. i mean, this was as well as the help all the average during the time the panoramic held extraordinary power. so it was really had compiled an extraordinary extraordinary long list of powers and he had done so in secret, potentially could have been used to spend extraordinary amounts of money to

undertake national security measures. border protection measures as well as measures in relation to where the health mrs. powers were were already over emergency level. so we are talking about clinic story levels of power. that's got morrison compiled in secret. sarah, our correspondent was just telling you, said the onto the albany, as you just been speaking, he says this is not going to be a politically driven investigation, but one would imagine there is going to be a fair amount of political mileage that the govern government is going to make out of this, this in many ways is just to can a gift that keeps on giving. absolutely, i mean that there is a good justification for this year. we do need to find out what happened. we do need to work out whether there are any lingering legal issues for apps. those will be tested in the courts as well by, by

a grades. but they don't need to be some sort of examination of why and how this proceeded and with the issues around of all the governor general. one of the big issues that you said really the central issues. but the state, the governor general destroyer does not have, does not have much why a discretion to decline to follow the. the advice of his minister scott morrison goes to the governor general went to the governor general. and i'd like you to do this. governor general thought they might have some issues around that. he's the only real option, the at the end of the day is to resign. he's not, it doesn't have discretion. not to follow the advice of the government. that's how it should be in a democracy. but actually discovered in this case, there are really issues about what happens when a communist or wants to off writing secret. the political dimension of the slow issues that will keep on giving for the government issues. relations have caused a lot of banks and

a lot of anger in scott margins are in party. there are plenty of people buy from the front bench of the opposition as it is now. and he's still back benches, who very angry and very agree that he did this in the 1st place, but that he's defense of it last week. a p to be so turn dish. so almost delusional. that it merely could be, she will long. so the government will, will be very happy to see this perfectly legitimate and partially reasonable inquiry continue for quite some time yet because it will just keep that spotlight focused on scott morrison that thank you very much and i'm sorry to interrupt you, but i'm afraid we are out of time, but we do appreciate you giving us the benefit of your expertise in this. thank you very much. shanghai is famous waterfront has gone dark in response to a heat wave and drive that's causing major power shortages, light selling the riverside,

the face of changes you need to leader out will better cost a junior, who's reinvigorated the opposition. so taking over in 2019 young people make up a 3rd of the population and cost the juniors appealed to them with promises to reform the government and tackle poverty and corruption. but we'll need the form of the mumble if you need to build a strong front for democratic change. fundamentally because there's a single party in power, a one party regime. while the m p l a remains the favorite. analysts and opinion poll predicted pi grace, but the opposition and from vote his questioning with it will be fair rentals above the opposition criticism of the electoral commission that's mostly led by members of his party. lemetre miller, i'll just 0. i this is all just these are the top stories moscow's blaming, ukrainian secret services for the suspected.
