in 100922. and why is that? an increasingly disillusioned youth fed up by not seeing angola, petro dollars improve their lives is re angus people. we need more jays reunion or bridge that we need more garbage. that was the unit to be present of on board. i believe that really changed this country. the country is africa, 2nd largest oil producer, but levels of poverty remain high. i think that's definitely contributions to a sense of disillusionment with the ruling party. the other thing is that when president urge oh, the answer took over in 2017. there was a kind of renewed optimism in the country that, you know, perhaps he would open up her the greatest of all society space that he with whole local elections that you know, perhaps was born with broader macroeconomic stability that might start to trickle down. but of course, that has entirely happened. some of it has been
9:28 pm
a lack of political will. other things have been just global shocks, but this is really contributed to this feeling of delusional. and, and this is, this is what you could potentially see the emperor late. and not fair, as well as it has had previous connections. the m p l a has been accused by human rights groups of corruption, clamping down on descent right. also expressed concern about the transparency if he's election. the boats will be counted through a new centralized system in the capital due to a recent change in the electoral law pushed through by the ruling m p l. a. results are not expected for a few days. stephanie decker are just 0, so the head hair on al jazeera cracking down on the cartel. a skyrocketing murderer to civilians caught in the crossfire from a state of emergency in ecuador, thus find out what to form one's well, totally, that has been up to doing the sports mid season break.

ah, here's your weather reporting and minute 15. thank you so much for joining an let's kick this one off in the middle east where we're going to see those winds shift arounds in the golf. i'll take you there in one second. first we got to talk about that rain still for western portions of yemen. spilling into the jazz mountains, and i think this trend will really continue until the end of the month here. okay, here's a close to look at the golf and seen those wind shift around. so for example, in doha, that humidity is going to pump up once again as we head toward thursday, off the pakistan, it's the 3rd monsoon. depression in about is many weeks. so we've got a lot of rain falling in sin province, baluchistan and punjab as well. you know, some parts of sim province scooping up a 100 millimeters of rain within a short period of time. so further flash flooding that rain leaking into
9:30 pm
afghanistan as, while there's been flooding just outside of cobble, your temperatures will finally go up, and things will dry off as we see a return of sunshine over the course of the weekend. a slug of rain is closing in on it's that ball. so i think fender downpours seem likely on thursday in after africa. we go got some rounds of rain to come for areas of the democratic republic of congo and nigeria. and for south africa, the western cape province cape town, could see windows up to 90 kilometers per hour. on thursday, a for scientists, the evidence is irrefutable. but america's climate change, denial stubbornly mistrust the fact that despite soaring temperatures, raging wild fires and shrinking water reserves the world's largest economy, it's still split along ideological lines. so can it ever reach consensus to avoid
9:32 pm
here with out as a reminder of our top stories at this hour ukrainians are holding muted celebrations. on the 31st anniversary of independence from the soviet rule. kate prime minister boris johnson marked the day by instinct. keith, in a show of support. you in socrates, general antonio terra, shall call the day a sad and tragic milestone in an open session of the security council, ukraine's president for them is lensky used his speech to say, russia should stop what he calls nuclear blackmail. israel says it can't accept a revival of the nuclear deal with iran warning it will be used to destabilize the world. meanwhile, iran's foreign ministry says it's received the u. s. response in unions. draft agreement and is assessing it. no, he was present. joe biden has announced must have relief for university graduates trying to pay off student loans. the ton allows up to $20000.00 in loan forgiveness for eligible borrowers. 43000000 people in america carry federal student debt. the
9:33 pm
statement, pardon? said the plan would give working and middle class families breathing with hydro castro has more for us from washington d. c. so what won't details, can you tell us on this will carry as we know of forwarding college or university in the u. s. is extremely expensive. so much so that the federal government has footed $1.00 trillion dollars of that educational bill for americans . and now with this announcement from the white house, it does take a small didn't out of the repayments that americans are on the hook for. this has been, i said, to help low to middle income americans, that's defined as people individuals who earn less than a $125000.00 a year or families that are less than 250 $1000.00. and among those groups, they can get $10000.00 of their student loan, forgiven. and
9:34 pm
a of those who receive federal assistance for extreme financial assistance ger in their college days. they get up to $20000.00 of loan forgiveness. this is something that was widely anticipated that president biden had campaigned on and that people paying these loans have been asking for for decades because they are struggling to make these monthly payments. though they been given a reprieve because of the pandemic. that was also announced today by the white house that this reprieve from pain. those monthly payments has been extended now until at least the end of this year. and high the a. how is this being received in the united states? them right. the white house is selling this as a campaign promise fulfilled, but realistically, this is biden trying to walk the middle line while both sides, the left and the right have criticized this action on the left. among progressive democrats, they say for giving $10.00 to $20000.00 alone,
9:35 pm
when people's with interests, their balances have balloon to more than half a 1000000. at times they say that simply not enough. there had been a pitch to extend this for this loan forgiveness to 5 times how much that was announced, what should not happen. and so there's many who are criticizing that this wasn't enough and that they're saying it's also unfair for those people who never went to college in the 1st place. those who are even lower income earners that truly may have benefited more from this government assistance. and then on the right, we have republicans calling this in the words of senator mitch mcconnell, socialism, student loan socialism. and he said this was also a slap in the face of those americans who did already pay their student loans or who can afford or who do not qualify for this government help. and then, of course, there's the greater concerns which we know the biden. why, how struggled with and deciding to take this action, which is, how will the greater economy be impacted?
9:36 pm
of course, we know that inflation rates in the us are at a 40 year high, and this will only infuse the economy with more potential consumer spending, which could be a troubling sign for economists. how the joke house july, 1st in washington dc. thank you for families in poland are bracing for a tough winter. the country is facing wide spread, coal shortages off to russian imports. a few were banned. unlike the rest of europe, poland relies on co rather than guess for power and heating under simmons. travel to kind of it's up to see how people they're all preparing for the cold months ahead. poland prides itself on its potential, would be totally independent of russia fruits elegy needs. but those are problem. it's a shortage of cold, not gas like the rest of europe. ref, our rules call seller is normally stocked up for winter by now, but he can't find any call to buy. and if he could,
9:37 pm
he'd pay almost 4 times what he used to use them and you couldn't 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, on average when he's right. this region is rich with coal, but polish production is limited. and the government has band imported cold from russia, even though it's cheaper and more suitable for domestic use. we didn't invest in nuclear power yet, or we cannot rely on natural gas. so all we have is gold when it comes to the heating sector. this tuition is even worse because we were heavily dependent on russian col. allan 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 are spending days on end and cues
9:38 pm
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 call yard dealer, who will then raise the price by at least another 100 percent. this driver admits the 2nd old will suffer, but we need to be tagged. what the government should do is get 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. bullish companies are now importing call from other countries from colombia, indonesia, south africa, and placing her with that dirt quantities, of course that were coming from russia. it's a bit of a different logistics, so it, it creates challenges. but right across poland, people like this homeowner feel the government isn't doing enough. andrew simmons,
9:39 pm
al jazeera cats of id sir poland. and on thursday, andrew will report on that challenges facing another eastern european country in the coming months. i'll be reporting on a different type of crisis here in hungary. it's 85 percent reliant on russian gas, and that's causing many problems that said, bring in sandrine dixon, declare that she's an energy expert and the e. u ambassador of the energy transition commission. thanks for joining us here on al jazeera was enough done early enough to prepare for gas supplies in europe. do you think? no, not at all. and i do believe that we don't. and this was going to come when we already had the ukrainian conflict in 2009 over gas. and also the crimean war in 2014. the germans continued to build up the construction of north stream to when many of us experts were warning of the need as we put very clearly in our climate
9:40 pm
and energy package for 20 and 30 targets. that we had to wean ourselves off, rush and gas, and we could do that in 2 very key ways. one is up energy efficiency and put in place the directives that we actually had, both on buildings and also across the industrial sector. and the other was to shift our, supplying triple our investments and renewables. we have not done either to the point that we actually now can create an independent europe from russian gas, as you've heard. so clearly from the polish situation. clearly, the polls are dependent on coal and they also have their own coal. but what we've been trying to do is shift from coal, obviously to reduce our grass of greenhouse gas emissions. we need then to help poland to shift completely towards renewables and to have those investments. but in addition to that, across europe, the central and eastern european countries predominantly have been dependent 75
9:41 pm
percent on gas, as well as the rest of europe and also 50 percent on oil. so what we need to do now is make sure that we do 2 things. one is look at supply as i said, triple our investments in renewables, enable renewable companies to have shorter permitting times. and to be able to actually put in place the infrastructure, make sure that we shift our fossil energy subsidies away from fossil energy into clean energy, and then subsidize and enable households to really shift towards energy efficiency mentor such as insulation and different types of heat pumps. et cetera. ok, but in the lightly time scale, sorting through in the short a time scale. how a government's and population is going to cope this winter. well one of the ways obviously that president under lan is trying to cope is to see if we can look at offshore alan g terminals, barges,
9:42 pm
et cetera. what i'm trying to say is that we have to be very careful, even in the short time scale, not to create more stranded assets. we can communicate with citizens across europe and indicate to them what the energy efficiency measures are. and there are many, many of the electricity companies and i sit on a renewable energy company that also supplies a small amount of gas and trying to shift completely to 2030 to be green. they are immediately now already communicating with households indicating to them what can be done, but governments have to step up to the plate. they cannot backtrack on their greenhouse gas emission targets. and by the same token, continue then to say that actually climate change is important. i'm here in belgium, it's 30 degrees today. we cannot go back on our climate goals. in the short term, we have to communicate with consumers. we have to ensure that we support households, and we can do that through government measures. and we need to teach household what
9:43 pm
we need to do in terms of energy efficiency. 100 dixon, the curve, thank you very much for joining us. we appreciate that. thank you. i could, those ports and weak institutions have turned it into a key transit points for hundreds of tons of narcotics, m. r. p. knighted states, europe, asia, and russia. you see a newman explains how that drug trafficking has been caused by unprecedented violence in the port city of korea q a. so i kind of, it's, it's been more than a week since an explosion, destroyed the homes and the lives of many living on guy year, or chal, a street in a poor guayaquil neighbourhood, me her down in a while, a poor. so my daughter was sleeping with her husband when they heard machine gun fire. they ran to the window when the bomb went off in front of our house. dolah, you said his daughter and his son in law, each last deny you're the magnitude of the explosion left 17 people injured and 5
9:44 pm
dead authority suspect. it was directed at a drug trafficker nicknamed cockroach, who reportedly had already left the scene. 36 year old roxana battery else died almost immediately, think it could possibly on the old one when we got denied my mother's body was found over there. i bet explosion has been followed by 2 smaller ones this week in ecuador, its largest coastal city, where in the last year the murder rate has doubled. i am the government has responded by declaring a month long state of emergency, which allows the police and the army to work together to crack down on criminal organizations linked to drug trafficking cartels. about a year ago, 2 bodies were found hanging from this bridge here in the durant district. it marked the beginning of an escalation of violence here in y. yeah, kill. and since then,
9:45 pm
there have been decapitations, dismemberment of bodies of rival gang members, all of which have becoming more and more common in a country that had never seen those types of crimes before shauna. but if the national police director of investigations says it was geographic position, is mostly to blame. a key, some of them into those by to prove that we are waged between the world's 2 largest drug produces columbia in the north and peru in the south. and we've become and broke in, in logistic network and as a transit country. what we're seeing a crime said a copy from colombia and mexican cartels. in order to generate tara and panic. that was one of the elusive identified at least $26.00 criminal gangs. some of them, small armies, who are fighting each other for the privilege of distributing drugs from here to the rest of the world. taken away. in the last 3 days, police have confiscated more than 4 tons of pure cocaine. in banana shipments that

9:47 pm
but nobody was injured. luckily at. but the whole idea of this is to send the message that these are, these are the drug organizations and organized crime groups are really in control of the street, much more so than the government. now the government has asked for international help. it's important to point that out from israel, from the united states, from columbia as well, which certainly has a lot of experience with drug trafficking, to try to see how they can nip this in the bud. but some would probably argue, and i think quite rightly but it's gone beyond that and that at and that this country has now become a sanctuary for organized crime organizations. not just the colombians, not just the mexicans, but also russian organized crime groups, albanians and italians are also quite well established in ecuador. at this point. i've seen newman thank you for that. us and european
