one o an ace made the world's oldest influence on out here from the villas of caracas to the battle fields around wilson. our job is to get to the truth and empower people through knowledge. when the shots came from the holiday and we heard cracks, we heard some noise. this was known, a sniper alley was one in the most dangerous intersections in his sod able he didn't come in through the front entrance that was, will happen to the people who were shot. they came into the wrong entrance. the nightly pyrotechnics, if you're funny to turn to the camera man. so let's get the hell out of here. sorry, a vo holiday in. whoa, whoa, tells on al jazeera oh the f

b i sides. donald trump's refusal to return secret documents says the reason to search is florida home. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this is out as they are a lie from dough are also coming up and asked, right kills for people into grice be through appears. government denies civilians were among the dead. a disaster of epic proportions in pakistan. millions of people are homeless. as rain continues to pound, the country and the future of the world's oceans hangs in the balance as governments struggle to finalize a crucial global treaty. ah, the u. s. justice department has released a heavily redacted version of the document that helped secure permission to search donald trump's home officials and to the former president florida state. on august, the 8th, the search was part of
3:02 am
a probe and to whether he illegally remove documents from the white house. alan fisher has more. it was a remarkable moment, and f b. i read on the form of a former u. s. president. donald trump revealed the search at his motto: lago property earlier this month on social media. it provoked outrage among supporters now the department of justice has released the affidavit, used to secure a search warrant, signed off by a judge. trump and his team had already handed over 15 boxes of documents he took with them. when he left the white house. they should have gone to the national archives. going through the boxes, investigators found highly sensitive documents. in the 30 page affidavit which is highly censored, the f b, i laid out its case for a further search, claiming they believed there were more sensitive documents of moto logo, which could injure the u. s. if they fell into the wrong hands, that despite assurances from trumps legal team, all documents have been handed over. that these sensitive documents were being and
3:03 am
properly handled and that the material possessed could mean 3 possible crimes were being committed. is pretty hard to make out a case that this is a which ut, when it has these kind of elements to it that the entire united states is being endangered by this kind of recklessness. and i do believe that he definitely is in criminal jap, reacting on his trip, social channel, donald trump said affidavit, heavily redacted. nothing mentioned on nuclear. a total public relations subterfuge by the f b i in d u a j or, or close working relationship regarding document turnover. we gave them much in the white house briefing room. there was a determination to keep the cotton president out of the political fight. we feel that it is not appropriate for us to comment on this. this is an independent investigation that the department of justice is leading. that's something that the president finds is an important thing to do for the department of justice to have that independent. we're just not going to come in, but he did just
3:04 am
a few minutes later, dismissing the former president's claim, he declassified all the documents. why this one ought declassified everything in the world? i am not gonna come out because i don't know the detail i want to know like the former day. it's unusual for such an affidavit to be released before charges a lead. if charges are to follow, that will be discussion at the highest levels of the department of justice. in the days to come on fisher algebra, washington stop markets fallen sharply in the us. after the head of the federal reserve said, the central bank would continue to act forcefully to battle inflation. jerome power predicted some pain ahead. in his remarks at the jackson hole banking conference in wyoming, the from the federal reserve would use the tools at his disposal and that high interest rates would continue for some time. well, my kind of joint us live now from washington dc mikes. every year. we see the
3:05 am
biggest names in the economic and financial will come together. jackson hole, what's coming out of the meeting so far this year? what it is, sir, banking manages from around the world. heads of banks in various countries from asia, from europe, all come together every year at jackson hole, although this is the 1st time in 2 years said it's been an in person session since 20. 19 because of the pandemic. it was a virtual event. but discussions centering on inflation, countries around the world suffering from inflation largely because of the shop increase in energy prices as a consequence of the ukraine war, among many other factors. but other topics under discussion as well. there are academic papers being presented about how nation should adept at the emergence from the pandemic. what should be the economic policy? what can be done that isn't being done? all of these discussions take place,
3:06 am
but looming over the gathering very much that issue of inflation and mike durham, powell, the head of the federal reserve, talks about us interest rates, remaining high for some time. yet. what does this old mean than for ordinary americans? well, it's going to have a massive impact on americans and continued to do so. some had been hoping that because inflation east of slightly over the past months, the fed chair might indicate that this thoughts about backing off this rapid advancement of interest rates. however, he did exactly the opposite, very much a hawkish speech. he said that one month of reduced inflation simply isn't enough for the fed to move back from its policy. it would need that nice 6 clear months of reduced inflation before we can consider even doing that. he also indicated that there will be further rates increases, perhaps as soon as september, when the federal reserve meets again, indicating that by the end of this year or the beginning of next one,
3:07 am
the interest rates could rise to as much as 4 percent now, bearing in mind that there's been a percentage rate at each of the feds last 4 meetings. it's very clear that they still see increasing interest rates as a way of shrinking growth and therefore reducing inflation. but an operating against this, an employment rate that is at its highest, in 50 years, more people that are employed more money enters the market, inflation goes higher. so it's a difficult balancing act that the federal reserve chair is doing. he gave his thoughts to the meeting there, but certainly it was listened to very closely in wall street with a degree of horror as reflected in the fact that all the 4 major bench parks are dropped at least 4 percent. all right, my can live for stay in washington. mike, thank it to the therapy an hour where an air strike has killed at least 4 people, including 2 children. it happened in malay and the northern region of tig rye. the cities been at the center of conflict that began more than 2 years ago. the latest

of violence is raising concerns. they could put even more people at risk in te gray in the surrounding m hara and afar regions. patsy. a little miss of the young al jazeera pakistan has declared a national emergency after months of record monsoon reigns. large parts of the country have been devastated, causing while the government is described as a humanitarian disaster of epic proportions. villages are submerged in southwestern baluchistan and eastern punjab provinces. pakistan's climate change minister says baluchistan has received nearly 500 percent more than the average rainfall in the month of august. southern syn province has also been hit by flood waters. it's registered 784 percent more rain than it usually gets at this time of the year. same bus robbie has more now from data district in sin province. a pause in rain, a chance to survey the disaster that has unfolded in pakistan. 2 months into the
3:11 am
monsoon season, the country has declared a national emergency pakistani leaders including the prime minister himself, seeing the floods up close, promising to mobilize more aid. but the skies have dumped so much water. no amount of help seems like enough driving through the water logged interior of sin, the province. you'd be hard pressed to spot a single rescue crew. but death and destruction abound. who will save us? when will the waters recede? what happens now? people in floods stricken pockets and left with questions, but little else. marty. knew no one comes here, not the landlords. no one from the government. no one comes to us. everyone is just lying here, starving children, little ones. the poor don't have anything. where should we go? back to our village. it's not even there any more about our houses. thank in the

get to higher ground. then basra, the older 0 district and pakistan said province cancer shop right here. now to sierra when we come back this afternoon to set to become the 1st native american woman in space and her next stop could be the moon. and we're on patrol with special forces in ecuador, was a battle against our growing international drugs, tre mana, davis, ah, the journey has begun. the faithful world camp is on its way to cattle. your travel package to death. while we've had record rainfall for parts of pakistan syn province. so for this monsoon season, look at this rainfall amounts closing in on 2 meters over the last few months. and
3:14 am
of course there's still another month to go out of this. wet weather has leaked into afghanistan, this is about 80 kilometers away from cobble. and we know the debts hold now rate across the country has reached more than a $180.00, but here is the good news. those brains, both for afghanistan and pakistan, are starting to peter out on saturday. take you to india. it's really that southern slice here. we're seeing those monsoon rains, pick up for karnataka care la into tamela. now do, but i want to take you round the bare bengal because remnants leftovers of what was the tropical storm sliding out of me and more into the far northeast of india. we do have weather alerts in play here. for just how much rain we'll see about a 100 to 200 millimeters after china now in some relief for the eastern yang see river valley. the showers in storms. one with the wind has knocked back the temperature in shanghai to below 30 for a day time high for the 1st time in a long time. still locked into that heat though. for chung chain with a high of 42 degrees and rain for japan's main island, of hon. shoe butts are in the sunshine in tokyo with

3:16 am
welcome back. a quick reminder. the top stories here, this ins strike has hit the regional capital of to grow in the north of ethiopia. there are reports, it struck a children's playground for people were killed, local media, se the national government is responsible for the attack. the u. s. justice department has released a redacted version of the document that helped secure permission to search donald trump's home. it says top secret records would not safe gathered up the estate which was searched on august the 8th. on stock markets, a fallen shop in the u. s. off at the head of the federal reserve said forceful action would continue to combat inflation. jerome pal predicted some pain ahead. in his remarks of the jackson hole banking conference in wyoming, families in the u. k. are bracing for an 80 percent rise in their energy bills. government regulators have set limits on energy prices for nearly 4 years. but with the cost of gas and electricity rising globally, households are facing a price shock, where we challenge as it's report the comfort of
3:17 am
a cup of tea that's about to get more expensive. came eldridge lives with her mother, and publicly subsidized housing. it stamp on insulated walls, leak heat when it's cold and they fear the energy price hike will make heating their home this winter impossible. not even hit wednesday yet and people can't afford to pay that bill. i don't know how anyone is going to survive this winter. without shivering in their homes, bills have already doubled. they're looking to double again, it just doesn't make any sense. the typical annual household energy bill will hit $4100.00 from october, a jump of 80 percent from the current national regulators. cap of $2300.00 is expected to go up even more in january. so across the u. k, we have what we call fuel poverty, which is if you have to spend 10 percent of your income to afford a decent level of heat and how you, regardless, being in fuel poverty, september 2021. they're about 4000000 households across the u. k. in fuel poverty,
3:18 am
this announcement as we had into october, that's going to jump to about 9000000 households and we know it will get even worse . but the next iteration of these price caps in january, of course, energy price rises, don't just affect domestic consumers. they hit businesses to through this door is a bakery called no gill, bakes, a typical small business run by cousins. my entire myers noticed less money coming in as customers forego, non essential treats and cost going up as prices rise for energy and other things needed to run the company. i asked her what action she'd like to see from the government kind of need them to support small businesses so that we can support the local community as opposed to giving tax cuts 2 companies here. we'll put it. okay . and take it to the cayman islands. but it was a poor package for consumers, announced by boris johnson's government earlier in the year. now looks woefully insufficient. that is clearly now going to be augmented,
3:19 am
increased by extra cash that the government is plainly going to be a nancy in september. that's not his job. anymore though, in a few weeks, either richie soon our call is trust will be announced as johnson successor. and there are no prizes for guessing what the 1st crisis they'll be facing is we'll reach helen's al jazeera london. now the u. s. pharmaceutical company, madonna, assuming it's rivals pfizer and buy on take over the technology behind its cobit 19 vaccine. both jobs use the m r renee technique, which madonna claims it developed years before the pandemic. madonna has accused pfizer and biotech of illegally copying its invention and using it without permission. pfizer says it's surprised by the law suits annual vigorously defend its technology. that's broken loans, guston is a director of a dull h o center on global hep floyd jones. us live from washington dc. lawns. good to have you back on the program. so materna claims at pfizer and biotech copied it's m
3:20 am
o n a technology. what is this vaccine platform and, and why is it so important briefly? well, the co, 19 vaccines are the 1st ones to use are what's called messenger r n. a technology, which is basically a sending a generic code. and to the mean system to tell it are to perk up for, for a particular virus. and it's a really revolutionary and technology and it could be the wave of future vaccines. and so it's extraordinarily important that we need to make this are widely available across the world. and pfizer says it will vigorously defend itself against the allegations from madonna, how robust than are the claims being made by madonna, from a legal standpoint on what's, what's actually at stake here, lawrence? well, you know, from a legal point of view, pfizer is going to say that it,
3:21 am
it had its own patents. and will also say that madonna, early in the covert, pandemic made a public pledge not to enforce its patents. ah, but this is a fight between 2 really big pharmaceutical companies. there are no good guys in the room, so to speak. ah, what the, what's at stake is absolutely huge because, you know, what modern is trying to do is to form a near monopoly of m r n a technology. and that's going to stifle innovation. not just with covert vaccines existing, but future generations of co, vaccines. and vaccines for influenza, a bowl and other kinds of, ah, an emerging infectious diseases that we need to, to tackle. we should be doing the opposite rather than protecting intellectual
3:22 am
property. or we should be transferring the technology to more and more manufacturers, particularly those in low and middle income countries. and because vaccines are truly a global public, good, and without them, many millions of lives am would be lost. i'm a man needlessly here, and that's an important point you make lawrence, because, as i say, early in the pandemic, madonna had said it wouldn't enforce its patterns in order to help other drug company, particularly say from, from low and middle income countries develop their own cobra. jobs is not done of them going back on this pledge. do you think? well, modernity said i'm more recently that it was only going to keep the pledge for low and middle income countries, but not high income countries like where pfizer and bio tech are, are located in the united states in germany. but that's proud from, from pfizer point of view that's, that's not good enough. and what we, you know,
3:23 am
and, and although madonna said it was in force, it's patton's against low and middle income countries. it's stubbornly refused to share its trade secrets and it's knowledge and it's know how to companies and say india, south africa, and brazil. this is really crucial because the future of life saving drugs and vaccines is m r n a technology. and we need to widen access to it, not restrict, just, just a final brief thought for lawrence, i'm in the head of the world health organization recently said, look, the crown of ours pandemic isn't over yet. and his urging countries to step up vaccinations. is this big farm around like for them to affect the the global vaccination effort? do you think? you know, it's bound to own and particularly as the world is going to be transition. transitioning to new, i'm a crime specific um,
3:24 am
vaccines and the next generation. and so you know, this is a lose lose for everyone. but the biggest loser is the public and the global public good. we really need to find a better farrah bargain for the world's population. lawrence guston, always good to get your thoughts. lawrence. thank you very much and have a talking to us. thank you. sure. now it's taken years of talks, but the world's governments could soon agree on a global ocean treaty to protect marine life. the u. n. is now holding a conference on the treaty. it would be a legally binding document and would turn 30 percent of the world's oceans and conservation areas by 2030. the agreement would been over fishing and protected zones. negotiations have also addressed deep sea mining, which involves extracting minerals like cobalt from ocean beds. and other concern is the growth and shipping, which has increased more than 1600 percent over the last 40 years. that causes more pollution, which threatens bio diversity. stephanie decker reports now on what's at stake
3:25 am
oceans cover around 70 percent of our planet. and under the waves, a ballet of marine life, a magical gliding world that works in perfect symbiosis. but the reality is far from perfect. over fishing, deep sea mining and suffocating tons of plastic pollution, but a few of the reasons we are killing this underwater world. we certainly appreciate that we live on a blue planet. the ocean connects us all. sadly, we have taken the ocean for granted. and through they, we face what i would call a notion emergency. we must turn the tide. but that tide is proving hard to turn, scientists of war and that it is now or never when it comes to changing our ways. in order to prevent our planet from further heating and driving multiple species on
3:26 am
land and at sea to extinction. imagine never again seeing scenes like these. the du gong or see cow gathering off the coast of cat are in huge numbers. that many end up dead as a result of getting caught up in fishing nets, known as by catch one of the main reasons why they are endangered cutters. water is also serve as a stopping point for migratory whale sharks. hosting one of the largest aggregations in the world, i swam with them for a previous report of mine, a gentle giants, or inspiring to watch them feed, feeling like a tiny, insignificant, yet privileged guest in their world. oh, our oceans feed, us, sustain us, give us life. they host such a diversity of perfection and beauty. it shouldn't be hard to understand and to implement the urgent need to protect them. stephanie decker, al jazeera catera echoes government has increased its efforts to combat illegal
3:27 am
drugs. criminal gangs often use the south american nation as a transit point for international drug trafficking. and that's led to a surgeon, violence law, latin america, and it's on the same human reports. i'm glad keith alexander the han yet never knows when the next prison riot will break out. she lives across the street from y accuse infamous state penitentiary, la jolla. yes, if you stick with that all over the door from over there, you can hear the victim screens. the cries for help. it's terrifying. and when the prisoners explode dynamite, you jump from the bed. see why? her late last year, it took police days to enter the penitentiary. after a 118 inmates were hacked to death and set on fire in a battle between rival drug gangs. ecuador has become a sanctuary for the multi $1000000000.00 narcotics trade. it's run from prisons
3:28 am
like this one by local drug lords, but also by international criminal organizations. like albania, is companionable. it's leaders alleged to be controlling the export of tons of cocaine from this ecuadorian jail, where he's serving a 13 year sentence. it all starts here. we went on a patrol with special forces police in gaiety game violence is soaring. neighborhoods like this one, provide the camera in the organizations, people who live in poverty and who have little hope of ever finding a dignified job. i able to help criminal organizations from abroad. oh there where from ecuador, for the rest of the world, it could was geographic position, and the use of the u. s. dollar for its currency make it ideal for drug cartels.
3:29 am
luscious tropical fruits. especially bananas are exported from quiet gains, pacific ports to europe, asia, and russia. so far this year, more than $300.00 tons of cocaine had been confiscated in cargo. but ecuador and experts estimate that's less than 30 percent of what gets through small fishing boats like these and homemade submarines also take colombian, cocaine north. it's a short trip from guy akin to central america and mexico, from where the siena law and gulf cartels take the cargo across the u. s. border. the the customer, security minister, dealer alumnus tells us the years of permissive. nist tolerance and corruption have made all this possible. abraham sia is current laws. the problem is that the narcotics tried, has penetrated politics, has penetrated the administration of justice. that's i say we are facing a serious threat like the very stability of the state of in the 2nd dentist. i
3:30 am
remember the style of music. ah, the government has imposed a month long state of emergency and mcguire kill area. but that will clearly be insufficient to address the crisis, much less the social problems that nourish it. is she a newman, al jazeera, why akil ecuador? now nasa is getting ready to mock another milestone for diversity. the leader of its next mission to the international space station will become the 1st native american woman in space. fenton mana had report. nicole mann was a veteran fighter pilot before she was selected to join the elite ranks of nasa astronaut. now, after 9 years of training, she's finally getting her chance to play higher than she's ever flown before. as a member of the while acute the round valley indian tribes man will be the 1st native american woman in space. it's important that we, i, she, or celebrate our diversity and really communicate that specifically to the younger gen.
