6:04 am
believe in our army, and we're sure it's going to be over with our week to read, but it just depends on the time. ah, ukraine, he's on high alert presidency. lensky says bloody me to pull, denise plotting fragile souls and us intelligence agencies have warned russia maybe planning strikes against government buildings or civilian infrastructure. keith is far from the front line as only rarely been hit by russian missiles since ukraine and force as a managed to push russian soldiers out of the city. back in march, but or forties are cautious there, have banning a public gatherings and are asking people to take the air raid sirens very seriously. what a rule since february, thousands of people have been displaced, injured and killed. oh, shall, is, i remind you of the atrocities russian forces committed in their attempt to take the capital. oh, father danbury says he helping to bury the remains found in mass graves across the
6:05 am
town. you have to do more, you need to the queue. i think that neither i know anyone who lives in ukraine who witness the walk and understand what happened for now. we are surviving on adrenalin. but after everything that's happened, i'm worried that the off the medical loss, decades 6 months on ukrainians are fighting for survival against an enemy that is unwilling to retreat. that is, i will, i will just see, to keep their reports the russian back separatists, and not a poll preparing to hold a trial for ukrainian prisoners. the fool photos show cages being built at the chamber salon monic, where the trial is expected to be held. russia supreme court declared the as of regimen to terrorist group earlier this month, ukrainian president law, ms. lensky has warned any trial would end negotiations with moscow. you know, it's nations is express concerns about the potential trial. there are for twos and there's video footage in the media and social media showing cages being built in
6:06 am
the variable philharmonic hall really massive cages. and the apparently the idea is to to restrain the prisoners of war during proceedings in these cages. this is not acceptable. this is humiliating as well to the prisoners of war, and it adds to our concerns about how they are being treated and whether the presumption of innocence is being upheld. the construction of these cages coupled with statements made by high level russian officials, calling these people terrorists than not sees and war criminals before any trial has even taken place is deeply worried. meanwhile, top un officials have again raised concerns about the danger the russian occupied zap region nuclear plant in ukraine. they calling for the immediate withdrawal of trips and the demilitarization of the area. security council held an emergency meeting to discuss fighting near the facility or ukraine has reported further
6:07 am
shelling at the plant on by saturday and sunday, which has damaged infrastructure ahead of you the you ends atomic watchdog. as a team is expected to travel to thought within days, if talks with russia, all successful agreement is urgently needed to re establish the parisha as purely civilian infrastructure and to ensure the safety of the area. we must be clear that any potential damage to the plant or any other nuclear facilities in ukraine, leading to a possible nuclear incident, would have catastrophic consequences. not only for the immediate vicinity, but for the region and beyond. to paraphrase the secretary general's blunt warning, any potential damage does operation is suicidal or by moscow on keith have accused each other if hitting the plant ration controls the area. but the facility is still
6:08 am
run by ukrainian workers, yet could you. and because it's what i want to show you now a photo of the destruction on the territory of this apparition, nuclear power plant. as a result of the shelling by the ukrainian armed forces, we have a whole slew of such photographic evidence and we disseminated it. this morning, as an official document within this security council and the general assembly known as a donor, the mission will go up. we expect that the i. e. a mission will take place in the very near future and the agency experts will confirm the real situation at the station because we stand ready to extend the maximum support possible. so let me stress that nuclear security and safety is an absolute priority for everyone in the world and russia mos immediately and without any conditions. his role is troops, soap, all provocations, all shelling it is unacceptable that russia is deliberately putting all of us on the brink of a global nuclear disaster. a court in thailand is set to hand down
6:09 am
a ruling that will decide if the prime minister can remain in power. they happen protests and the capital bind call ahead of the court's decision. quoting for the prime minister prior to nurture to step down prior to power in a qu back in 2014 opponent say he should step down on wednesday when his 8 year term is. as good attorney chang who is now live for us in but in cock give us a little bit of background to this case. tony, what is the expectation from today? will, as you mentioned, just the, the general pro channel. she took her power in a coup in 2014, he was appointed by royal decree, the position of prime minister. then in 2017, when the military pushed through a new constitution, there was a clause in there that said that any prime minister could only serve a server or term of a maximum of 8 years now, o supporters of private se, his official term as prime minister and he started in 2019, when he won
6:10 am
a democratic election and was appointed prime minister after that. however, opposition passes, say that his term started with that rule decree in 2014 and that time limit was up at midnight last night. they presented a petition to the constitutional court to day, or we expect that to be expect it accepted by the constitute constitution court about now they could do a number of things. they could decide that immediately to accept it and dismiss the prime minister. wheat they could suspend him while they consider their opinion or they could consider their opinion and allow him to complete his duties. so there's a number of possible options. are they? but i think care what is a real concern to the government. is those protests you mentioned. there's a lot of security in bangkok today. we saw protests on the street last night and a huge security court and placed around government house with sir shipping containers stacked out,
6:11 am
blocking the roads and lots of police out. so what's at stake here? well, it is potentially a very considerable decision. the constitutional court could make effectively removing private from his position as prime minister. but a thing you have the said in the light of a constitutional court, which has generally backed this government, and 5 of those 9 justices have been put in place by privates administration. so they're probably unlikely to go against them, but i think you'd be looking the bigger picture, we're expecting general elections in thailand at towards the middle of next year. i think this is the opposition path, is really trying to increase the pressure on general pro. there has been a feeling over his term, both as another like to prime minister and since the elections of 2019 that his administration has mismanaged certain affairs, particularly the covert shut down, sir rogue, the last couple of years. and increasingly,
6:12 am
a cost of living crisis that is hitting many ties in the pocket. he himself is quite an unpopular figure seen very much as a rather brusque military man. and i think the opposition part is want to get the idea in the voting public's mind that this is their chance to make a permanent change, even if the constitutional court doesn't get rid of him this week. okay, interesting stuff. tony chang there for us in bangkok, still head on out his error. supporters of argentina's, vice president, head back up to prosecute a seat to put her behind bars and shrinking crop harvison chart. how extreme one is affecting thousands of farmers. pushing prices on ah

the hello there, let's look to north america and from the satellite image, you can see this area of dense cloud lingering over southern states. in the u. s. not shows a clutch of severe storms that brought torrential rain to northern areas of texas. causing flash flooding in places like dallas. now the u. s. weather service says more than $230.00 millimeters fell in parts of dallas, and that was the 2nd rainiest, 24 hour period on record. we haven't seen this much rain in about 90 years. now it is going to clear up by the time we get to friday, it is an improving picture. will have the temperature start to improve, but it does remain rather wet with those storms sitting stagnant over those central states of the southern us. elsewhere for western areas, the heat continues to build for the likes of seattle western areas of canada and along much of the west coast of the u. s. it's a similar story for the east coast. those storms have shifted off out to sea,
6:14 am
leaving hot and humid conditions in places like new york city and washington dc. but it is a very wet story across the u. s. gulf coast, as it is for western areas of mexico. tropical moisture moving in, bringing some heavier falls to the west coast that show ever. ah. what is the issue with this witness differences? change witness happiness with sunlight. witness do not witness loss with charity. witness. witness, close. witness, family. witness friends. the beginning. witness to witness life witness with ah
6:15 am
ah ah, welcome back here watching out. as a reminder, our top story is this, our ukraine set to hold muted independence day celebrations. after warnings, russia may ramp up its attacks, a strict cavaliers in place in the northeastern city of khaki and authorities in the capital. keith have banned mass gatherings for the whole week. the you on security council has held an emergency meeting to discuss pricing near the russian occupied upper region nuclear plant in ukraine. they calling for the immediate withdrawal of troops on the demilitarization, the area a quote. and tyler is set to hand down a routing that will decide if the prime minister can remain in power and protests in the capital bangkok ahead of the course decision calling for pry,
6:16 am
used to step down. now hundreds of people have gathered in moscow for the funeral of pro kremlin political commentator darya de gina. she was killed in a call bombing. the russia blames on ukraine. the dean by explains alexander, duke, in listening to attributes to his daughter. darya to dinner was killed on saturday in a car bomb attack. name oscar. her father says she recently told him she felt like a warrior. ha, go. the price that we have to pay can be justified by only $1.00 thing, the highest achievement victory. she lived in the name of victory and she died in the name of victory, our russian victory, our truth, our orthodoxy, our country, and our empire. daria took in her was $29.00 and worked as a commentator on a nationalist, russian television channel, just 2 days after the attack, russia's federal security service or fs, be named
6:17 am
a ukrainian woman as the perpetrator. it said she'd rented an apartment in the same building as to gonna, ukraine has said it does not resort to tara tactics, blaming russia's own government or security operations. it typically came, takes months or even years, often never for a political mergers to be sold. and yet a f as b, the russia securities, those claims have done as a matter of hours. and i think everyone looking the kind of details that providing, ah, you come to the conclusion, there's nothing credible about the story that they have put together. how much influence dugeon has over president vladimir putin has been the subject of speculation inside and outside russia. what's clear is he and his daughter expressed far right. nationalist views in public and strongly supported the invasion of ukraine. but they've both been placed on international sanctions lists for spreading misinformation. witnesses say, alexander duke in decided at the last minute to travel in
6:18 am
a different vehicle from his daughter, social media footage showed him looking on with the car still in flames. you, president putin has never publicly supported him, but he's called the car bomb evil and posthumously awarded duke in the order of courage medal nadine baba al jazeera families in poland, are bracing himself for tough winter countries facing wide, spent coal shortages after russian imports of fuel with band, now unlike the rest of europe, poland relies on coal, robin gas, the pallet, and heating and his demons travel to captive. it's sad to see how people are preparing for the cold months ahead. poland prides itself on its potential for being totally independent of russia for its energy needs. but there's a problem. it's a shortage of coal, not gas like the rest of europe. ref, our roars coal seller is normally stocked up for winter by now. but he can't find
6:19 am
any call to buy, and if he could, he'd pay almost 4 times what he used to use them. and gordon again. i'm not a minor orange urologist, but the coal is right here beneath our feet. and i've been trying to buy it for 3 months with 0 results and average. he's right, this region is rich with coal, but polish production is limited. and the government has banned imported coal from russia, even though it's cheaper and more suitable for domestic use. we didn't invest in nuclear power yet out. we cannot rely on natural gas. so all we have is gold. when it comes to the heating sector, the situation is even worse because we were heavily dependent on russian. ready co, poland burns, a lot of coal, 87 percent of the total for households across the european union. coal mines surrounded by cues of trucks can't meet the demand. and if people knew the level of profiteering going on, they be even more alarmed. there's a reason that truck drove us from all over poland or spending days on end and cues
6:20 am
like these. it's because the loads may be small, but the profits are big. drivers are known to make at least a 100 percent profit from a coal yard dealer who will then raise the price by at least another 100 percent. this driver admits the 2nd old will suffer for the news or be tagged. what the government should do is give pension as a special allowance on coal delivered to their door, and it's sick. i don't want to profit from human misery, but that's how it is. the government says an annual coal allowance of around $630.00 a year will help. and ministers say companies are importing coal ahead of the coming winter. polish companies are now importing call from other countries from colombia, indonesia, south africa, and replacing with that does the quantities of called and we're coming from russia . it's a bit of a different logistics. so it, it creates challenges. but right across poland,
6:21 am
people like this homeowner feel the government isn't doing enough. andrew simmons, al jazeera kat of it, sir poland italian fall right. lita ga maloney has launched her campaign to become the country's fussed female prime minister maloney whose brothers of italy policies ahead in the polls criticized european union's energy strategy. she told a crowd of supporters that the sky high prices have forced businesses and families on to their knees. next month, snap collection was cooled off to be prime minister money donkeys, coalition government collapsed a form, a u. s. police officer has pleaded guilty for her role in the death of brianna taylor, a black woman, shot and killed during a police raid. taylor was killed in a home and 2020 at that spot protests of a racial justice and police brutality. across the u. s. federal investigators say kelly good lit conspired to create a cover story and added a line to the search warrant. shebra tons, he is more. kelly,
6:22 am
good luck now has pled guilty to falsify the arrest warrant that convinced a judge to, to, to allow it to go ahead and then conspiring to cover up what she did with the other officer. it saw that she will be giving evidence against 2 of the other offices who have been charged by the department of justice. there's a 3 offices in charge with our bureaucratic side of the raid. another office has been charged with excessive force. it was the officer who basically stood outside brianna taylor's apartment, just shooting wildly into the apartment. despite the fact we could see anything that were blinds down on a block out. when he was just firing away with it, with his guns, he's going to be charged with excessive force. again, he was acquitted on that charge in the state court already though once. but we should also remember them that just leaves the 2 offices who are actually inside brianna taylor tennis apartment who burst in they claim that they announced themselves brown, tennis boyfriend who was the being said,
6:23 am
said they did not. they're the ones who actually 5 to 10 years, many sholtes inside the apartment 6 with which hit brown until one of which killed them that i've been charged with anything. so it's clearly welcomed that people are being charged by the federal government of constitutional crimes. but this is clearly fatal all out of state level, but, but it's still being looked at at least something moving forward that the people are slowly perhaps beginning to be held accountable for, for the steps. first, the cases in the us to see if atlanta have decided not to pursue charges against the 2 white police officers involved in the killing of a black man in 2020 or shot brooks was shot dead off. the officers responded to complaints that he had fallen asleep in his car at a drive through restaurants. when they tried to arrest them, brooks rubbed to take it from them and fight it. as he ran away, one of the offices shot him in the back. supporters of argentina's, vice president, christina fernandez,
