11:01 am
a heat. waves scorches the region. ah. hello, i am emily anglin. this is al jazeera alive from dough house are coming up. a funeral is held for pro kremlin commentator diarrhea to gainer as ukraine denies it, secret services planted a car bomb to kill her. supporters of she, i'd lead him will, tata elsa extend. they're sitting outside a rags high court where live in baghdad. and former us president donald trump goes to court to try to stop the f b i from looking at documents seized from his florida on ah, welcome to the program. we begin in china where the world's 2nd largest economy is feeling the effects of extreme weather patterns, including record high temperatures and prolonged droughts. shanghai is famous
11:02 am
waterfront will go dark for 2 nights to save electricity. many provinces have announced power cons to, to low water levels at hydro, electric dams, some parts of the world's 3rd largest river, the yangtze have dried up more than $400000000.00 people depend on it for drinking water. high temperatures have also affected crops, smaller grain harbors in china would have a global impact. and wan fires have forced the evacuation of more than 1500 people in the south west. the regent has been battered by drought and hot temperatures, making it susceptible to fires. patrick falk has more from beijing report say around 1500 people had to be evacuated to safe places because of multiple bush flies across the mountainous regions of cha. ching, there's been lots of social media video circulating in huge flames ripping through large waves of lands and authorities say the thousands of rescuers and the
11:03 am
helicopters were sent in to fight the fires. they say the situation is now under control, but the risk is likely to remain so long as this drought continues. there's been no rain for whatsoever inching for weeks. and of course is also battling the scorching heat temperatures. there have hit above 40 degrees for nearly 2 straight weeks, and the other concern is that potential shortages of power and to address that authorities have reduced mall opening hours and moles are only going to be open from $4.00 to 9 pm until the situation changes or they refer to this as being an urgent situation, and we're seeing similar measures being implemented in different parts of the country that also battling extreme heat as well, notably and shanghai authorities and switched off lights along the iconic boons in an effort to preserve energy. andy mark is a senior research fellow at the center for china and globalization. he says switching off shanghai lines shows just how serious the drought is. this would be
11:04 am
like turning off the lights in times square in new york city. so while in absolute terms, the electricity use compared to all of the electricity consumed in fine is not large. it is very, very symbolic natur, i think, to illustrate just how serious the power situation is in china today. this is a problem that is not just facing china, but pretty much every part of the world. europe is facing the heat wave electricity issues that are similar us of course, also facing the heat wave. i think one thing to point out here is that the tolerance for the chinese people for inconvenience through outright hardship i think is unparalleled. so i think that there will be important tradeoffs in
11:05 am
reaching the sustainability goals. in the short term, there may be other measures that impose inconvenience, perhaps even a degree of hardship as well. but i think that certainly the resilience is there and the commitment as well. i think by the chinese government to achieving these absolutely critical sustainability goals. in the world news, if you know, has been held in moscow, the pro kremlin political commentator dire to gain a russia says ukrainian secret service is plotted. the death of the 29 year old. she was killed in a car bombing on saturday. her father, alexander, duke, and a far right nationalist and ally of letting me person was among the mourners. the russian president has described to killing as evil russian security services has released this video that it says shows the assassin, the agency maintains the ukranian woman who's in her forties had been planning
11:06 am
saturdays attack since july. and russian media is linking the suspected killer to the ukranian armies as of the battalion, which russia has designated as a terrorist group. but soldiers say they're not involved. no, i don't know her personally, this woman. secondly, the documents they showed didn't belong to a person serving in the italian. this is obvious because of the uniform. she is wary, and her military id. this woman does not serve in the as a potassium natural go. davies is a senior fellow for russia and you ranger of the international institute for strategic studies. it says rushes allegations during that. on the one hand, it's if they're vs to be believed, then it represents a massive intelligence failure. it's not a small matter, don't be blown up in or moscow. but secondly, and equally impulsively, it seems to me they claim to have. so the case with unprecedented speed,
11:07 am
it typically takes months or even years, often never for political mergers to be sold. and yet the f s. b, the russia security says things we've done. this is a matter of hours and i think everyone looking the kind of. busy details that providing comes to the conclusion. there's nothing credible about the story that they have put together. it almost seems. and if it's all way designed to be, to believe the do, to a woman and a 12 year old daughter drove into russia in a mini cooper and then fled the scene. having carried out this bowman, none of it seems to add up. and yet, of course, it's 30 worrying now, the russia is claiming that ukraine is behind. and the next question is, what will follow from that? the us says russia is planning to escalate strikes against civilian infrastructure
11:08 am
in ukraine in the coming days. ukraine presidents, a lot of me landscape issued a similar warning in the late up to independence dang, celebrations on wednesday. events in cave have been banned, occur if you will be imposed in the northern city of concave and people in mic alive had been urged to remain vigilant. theresa bo is in cave, where she says, authorities are preparing for those potential attack. ukraine is getting ready to celebrate 31 years of independence from soviet rule, and it also marks the 6 months since the nation on this country began precedent. vodo, the media lensky, 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 who could try to do something particularly ugly and particularly vicious. and that's why the kid has an out that they will suspend any type of gatherings, among other things, the military administrator of this capital have that security for. so here i need
11:09 am
to be ready to prevent any type of incident like mix hello tax or bombs, among other things. and this is happening on the latest incident. how will russia security services accusing ukraine of being behind the killing of dad? he had to gain ashley, the daughter of a klaus advice or to bloody me, to putting she was killed in a car bombed a few days ago in moscow and russia accusing ukraine. 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 misses, and other types of weapons in bilateral to the u. s. now, a former president, donald trump, is trying to stall the investigation into materials the f b. i seized from his florida home 2 weeks ago. trumps lawyers have asked a federal court to help the examination of the documents until a neutral official known in us law as a special master can decide which documents can be released. my can has more from
11:10 am
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 a form, a judge who's independent of all parties. so now it's up to the federal court to decide whether to replace the d o j folk 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 maro 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
11:11 am
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 as strategies government says an inquiry is needed into why former prime minister scott morrison secretly held 5 ministerial positions . he pointed himself to the influential place during the pandemic, which didn't break the law. but the current leadership says, morrison's 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,
11:12 am
which is why we will be looking at some mom with i serious legal background to undertake the inquiry. and then thirdly, it notes to look at future reform, how we can ensure that this doesn't happen in the future. sarah clark has more from brisbin. they solicit a general has advised ethnic albany that he's the newly elected a prime minister of salia. that these convert the appointed self appointed ministerial portfolios for scott morrison were in fact legal. and he found that they were allowed i should know that that was a health, fun at home of faith resources and treasurer. now the questions were raised by the solicitor general on the way it was done the fact that they were kept secret. united bits of number one got morrison. the former prime minister didn't tell, at least for those ministers. he didn't till parliament. he didn't tell cabinet.
11:13 am
and he didn't tell the public now, the solicitor general did note that doing this appointing himself to multiple ministry does undermine the convention here in australia. and certainly a strategy is democratic system of government. now the governor general. so these appointments between 20202021. questions have been raised about why or his role in 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 prime minister at albany has announced 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 upright who will 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, sharing a details. although portfolio announcements. and again, he's
11:14 am
a political editor at the independent news website cracky, dot com. he says, got martha, and secretly gave himself extraordinary amounts of power. reflects the fact that our constitution, the starting constitution is extraordinarily by document. i mean, this is, this is something that doesn't mention the fact that there is a prime minister minutia. i live where you can be one minister or 2. well, several certainly isn't cut off the fact that i know the break to portfolios really give you an indication of just how extraordinary the pounds were held. the treasury for the finance portfolio which deals with internal government spending are already held on the face portfolio, which is responsible for national security for policing as well as for immigration . i mean, this was as well as the health only average during the panoramic held extraordinary power was really had compiled an extraordinary extraordinary long list
11:15 am
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 the where the health mrs. powers were were already over the emergency level. so we are talking about quite a storage. ready of power, that's got morrison compiled in secret. still ahead on al jazeera o protest in haiti against rising violence and the cost of living demands for the president to step down. and mexico asks for international help as it races to rescue workers trapped in a flooded mind for nearly 3 weeks. ah,
