hundreds injured in the worse fighting the rocky capital as seen in years. victoria gate and b begins are coverage. a cale sinback dad's heavily fortified. greed say i, the rival, she eyed factions targeting each other through the fighting escalated, late on monday night after a day of violence and political turmoil through her days broke out of the shiite cleric, moth t'other all sudden announced he was quitting frontline politics. his supporters broke into the presidential palace, which houses the prime minister's office. oh, many, even taking to the palace pool. oh, when all along our demands are to dissolve parliament and to hold the corrupt to

account. and we said, my master looked to the old solder, your pride is under your feet and will sacrifice for you with stories, hours one afternoon. caretaker prime minister miss stefan cotton may holsted cabinet sessions until further notice. but erect political life was already in limbo. this being dedlock for almost a year, but tad are all set. his party won the largest share of seats in elections last october. it wasn't enough to secure a majority and sat, a hasn't been able to form a government of his choosing. he told his m. p 's to resign in june, and his supporters have been protesting since july, some even briefly occupied parliament. they won't new elections without the participation of iran backed groups. don't be albert, this is an iraqi revolution. iraq should be returned to people. i. this is not the

1st time sad as announced his retirement from politics. many have dismissed it as a blow to gain leverage for his rivals. already several protested have been killed and hundreds wounded. and it's feared said his latest please could lead to yet more instability. victoria gay to be al jazeera, well the that the why had, has more from baghdad. well now very close to the green zone where the clashes is continuing, give between armored brigades affiliated to move to the southern on the one hand. and on the other hand, military units, they say the so the support of the say that the, the, the, the army groups shooting at them are pretty to the popular mobilization courses. we cannot independently verify that what we know for certain that the kids take care

of prime minister almost doubled, call me earlier. warner security forces not to use. les bullets again is to protest us up. there have been sniper shots coming from on top of the building if you can it. if you, if you, if just heard this explosion, we've been hearing explosions several explosions. many people here say that probably more rockets or rocketed problems. grenades fires in the area in and around the green zone. the situation remains very tense as you know that it's ironic because the green zone, which is a battle field now between the rival of factions, has been there heavily fortified area that is home to government offices and international diplomatic commissions, including the u. s. embassy and the, the embassy over the u. k. with other us, other has been a crucial figure in the rocky politics for

a long time. the leaders salarous movement is one of the most powerful factions. he rose to prominence after the end of saddam hussein's leadership. in 2003, they demanded the departure of american troops and it's again and he's against iran's influence. his movements killed the top position after parliamentary elections in october last year, winning $73.00 seats. but neither he nor his rivals had enough seats for majority of the months of failing to form. a government's other ordered his em piece to resign in june. and his supporters of protested in central bank that since july and briefly occupied parliament to me now from philadelphia is albert bull visa research says yet johns hopkins university. good. have you with us. that was on the program who just again way this is just another political stunt, bice other because it's taken a fatal turn in the light of 20 deaths. first of all, thank you for having greatly. i think this is solder being solder.

i do believe that this is i wouldn't call it a start per se, but i do believe that he is nice jockey for leverage. and in this current political crisis with respect to. ready where it's going line, you know, as you know, as your report previously noted, you know, in the past to latch and said, you'll get the same exact results. you know, they fair, you know, is that, you know, and one of the things that's pushing him is that he has not been able to get a prime ministry of his choosing the coordination. you know, when things that he demanded was that the coordination framework nominate someone who is, quote, unquote, independent from very r molig. that's one thing that's push this. and the 2nd thing is, is that, you know, he's resisting, you know, it's, you know, us and radiant linux volts. so these are

a couple of the things that are watching this of this is, it's dead, is that if you, since 2003, because mr. wolfe, he, he continues to mention this and you might say, hammer this home to the electorate. that is very attracted to what he has to say. but what does it say about sort of the vacuum at the moment that we're seeing in iraqi politics, where politicians themselves can't sit round a table and talk about their differences. but instead take their argument to the streets. frankly, it says something is something that we have seen since 2003 and well and something that's what about the constitution itself, you know. ready was put in place since 2005, you know, you can't look at the individual personalities. if you look at the under y institutions and there and they are deeply, deeply flawed. that's the unreliable problem in iraq. and of course,

and part of the part of the point. so there is made and over again is that you're trying to, you know, he's trying to say, you know, liberator rock for free from outside. ready influence you know, from you know, other. ready value as moran, but he's also named cindy states as well. started with your radio. so, i mean, those are, those are, those are the issues that he is out. what if, if he actually says i'm walking away from politics? what sort of messages are sending? is it something that he will inevitably regret, because at the end of the day he has a sizable vote bank and they will need to vote for somebody that will believe in their needs. and i once and also be able to come up with the goods. what if and when a government is formed in any future general election, and it does look like we're heading back to elections in some shape, whole form depending on what the supreme court says. first of all,

i don't believe that he's retiring. and i don't believe anybody else believes that either. he's also said he's playing on a hunger strike. so you know, solder is one of the few. if we only say here in the iraqi public sphere some and hundreds of thousands of people onto the on the streets literally. so i think the, i think you're in, for you mentioned in question another election. i think the. ready election will probably result in a very similar result. last 2 actions and probably with, you know, low voter turnout. is that lower voter turnout than the last 2 or see what happens in the coming days for the mobile. but we'll say joining us from philadelphia. thank you sir. thank you very much. now below the hop isn't iran kind of

listened to a wagner fellow at the washington institute. he explains in further detail what he thinks is being played out in baghdad. this is a power rivalry mainly within the house now that they have for all intents and purposes and crushed the, the so nice period because much of within the areas that are under the control of, of militia, on one hand. and the one powerful and influential western back could the 10 regional government. so the political parties basically oppertunity to consolidate power and maybe and do much of the decentralization and federalism that granted this to me and the, the cur, the region power. so, but the current, the, the house is now divided along 2 major lines. on the one hand you have the dolls father, the star of today's activities, who's a populous, mercurial,

definitely ambition. and has cast himself. busy in different light and the latest the, which is an antique iran bent was definitely appeals to the west. and then on the other hand, you have a group of classical traditional iraqi blog post saddam through additional political parties that have lost 2 father, but have come together found in other cause around which to unify the problem is that both sides are, are to their teeth neither side, believe them, the state and the really jeopardizing the security and stability of the country in a very ugly and violent power struggle. and the hope is that it doesn't get more violent. well, still had his own al jazeera writes groups in me and my reveal more evidence about the military joint is correct. and we'll have more on the month slides necessarily . and capital lead to the deaths of at least 6 people.

ah, the journey has begun. the b for world copy is on its way to catholic group your travel package today. i there, let's give you an update on the flooding situation in pakistan has we know the monsoon range in a bit of a law right now. so most of it has petered out, but still some showers for southern sin province. that includes karachi with the high 33 degrees, but nothing major compared to what we have seen over the last little bit. now for india, it's along the western gas for those monsoon rains are picking up so from my harass dra rate into careless state on tuesday after china there's been a big drop in those temperatures for a chunk chain. finally, after more than $75.00 days of a heat wave, you're now down to 30 degrees, which is below average for this time the year. and we've got this tropical storm

looks like it's going to slam into japan, southern most islands, but q issue and the main island of hon. she won't be impacted by this, but you've got a slug of rain moving your way. and here's where it is on tuesday. through the korean peninsula, let's press play. see where it goes tuesday into wednesday over those waters between korea and japan. most of it's going to pour into northern honshu and whole kado. but there is the rain not too far away from tokyo on tuesday with the high 30 degrees. meantime for the northeast of china, a few showers not far away from beijing. and same goes for harvey and with the high of 23 degrees that's update by i saw a official outline of the journey debating the issues of the day produce was always den, criminalized around the boundaries of rights. these are just numbered their people, their families, and our friends, and our community member on our on line i, jewel, voice this minute to iep don't believe in dialogue. political crisis must be off

with a political solution. as climate change progresses, there are some people who are in places that they're just going to have to made. there is no recognition about what we're ready facing the street. oh, now j 0. we're the me like to watch that reminder of all the top stories, at least 20 people are being killed. falling gunfire and explosions and screens over the area houses, government offices, and florida embassies come after a powerful she was done with quitting politics. and so those followers have still dropped dublin palace hundreds instead of security forces, trying to drive protested out of the complex, which is the prime minister's office. and the father has now got on hunger strike.

he says that his protest will continue until security forces stopped using violence against his followers. so they had called early elections after the last vote in october failed to leave the formation of a government. in other news, focus on planning minister says the initial economic losses from the floods could be higher than $10000000000.00 arsenic bol estimates. it will take 5 years to rebuild and recover the reins of killed more than $1100.00 people. so far since june of the government is warning of food shortages because of how many crops have been loft, military helicopters have been deployed to help those stranded in remote areas. they miss robbie has more from the city of thought in sin province in southern bucket. so we've just heard reports that the loss of human life is now estimated to be closer to 1100 people. but we hear accounts that suggest the death

toll will end up being much higher. the countless number taken into people as well and how it was displayed. we've been driving around the province and a common sighted people just on the side of the road with all of their belongings. everything they own because of things like this flooded fields and flooded villages . now one thing to remember about send is 70 percent of the economy depends on agriculture. agriculture is at the center of not only the economy, but the culture of these places. and this kind of thing has decimated crops this season, and it's going to have problems going forward because replanting and renewing the economy will become a problem. and what we have seen here is that the, the british era levy use in water systems that regulate the flow of water that manage this agriculture. those have been a key part of pocket stones, water management infrastructure for generations. and those are british colonial era

build. the worry now is that they won't be ready for what more it's about to come. that more than a $100000.00 people have moved to safety up. the heavy rains brought flooding to southwestern china. the worst it areas were devastated by heat twice, almost most of the summer. the ball rain has been full costs for the parts of the city, one province. and john king patrick folk has more. well over the last couple weeks, john, she really has been suffering under this intense heat wave which has caused bush fires. it's cause power outages, crops and livestock have really been struggling as well. so this really is a dramatic change in weather conditions. temperatures have gone from daily highs by 40 degrees celsius, right down to the mid twenties. and there's also been this rain for which began on sunday and is still ongoing. as you can see, it's really help to replenish the yangtze river right behind me. just a few days ago, parts of this river had dried up so much. you could walk half way across it. but

the concern now for authorities is the threat of possible flooding. one of the things the heat wave did is it really bates the soil around this region and it's caused it to crack and loosen and that increases the possibility of natural disasters. so authorities have issued a flood alert warning. they've evacuated more than a 100000 people to safe grounds. and rain is expected to persist in some parts of southwestern china over the next 10 days. so it does look as though there is going to be further weather related uncertainty in the days ahead. at least 6 people are being killed at a mudslide. the syrians capital flash floods triggered by trench will reins calls to the section of a hill, looking at looking at looking town to collapse, bearing occupants of 2 houses built on its slopes. now the disaster comes 2 weeks after cyril in march. the 5th anniversary of the mudslides killed more than a 1000 people, and military supports are from the future. by the time help arrived,

it was to me so many who lived here, including children. but even after the last buddy was filed, neighbors continued to dig through with robert. and the horrible salvage of what the residence described would happen. what's new puts him up. all of a sudden i just saw the bulk of mud and palm trees up rooted from the stump. the mud which fell destroyed these 3 houses, which caused the death of 6 people. the destruction also living men here homeless. 6 i got what we leave here because this is where we manage to pay cheap rent. i don't have the money to pay for an expensive house. emergency workers say to more people were killed in freetown, as the result of the torrential rains. and by creation order has now been issued. so our pressing says to b, e p, and other agencies actually continue assisting beliefs around advice,

other houses within this area to voluntarily communicate why the india, me and or the agencies walk more than susan police. forget the other 100 and then down so that we could prevent them for that. president junior's mother bure issued a statement, sending condolences to affected families. he once described centred young as a walt 3rd most vulnerable nation. when it comes to the impact of climate change. if, despite a government banned 5 years ago, people continued to build settlements in disaster pawn areas in emerald frito. as seen here, the consequences can be pito, ahmed greece, algeria. the other conflicting reports coming out to ukraine after it launched a counter offensive against russian forces in the south. in an effort to retake the cache on region, ukraine says its troops have broken through russian defences in several parts of

the front, blind, the city of casual, forcing its units to retreat. but russia says the ukrainian advance has been repelled and ukraine suffered heavy losses. thousands of people have been leaving the region to escape the fighting. and the team from the year nuclear watchdog is on its way to inspect ukraine's upper each year. power plant, showing near the site has drawn international concern, and the head of the international atomic energy agency says by mission is to protect the security and safety of europe's largest nuclear facility. which russian forces have taken over trees, a boat has more from cave. these are iodine pills, men to protect the fire gland in case of a nuclear disaster. they're being distributed around the sap. what heats your region in ukraine? close to europe's largest nuclear power plant. as to where you are now, since our district is location within 50 kilometers, reach from the nuclear power plant in the area of possible radiation exposure. we

this is not the case. the rural calls are alls which exist in the nuclear safety radiation safety and physical objects. they broke evidence. and if normal mission is cummins normal next bill go and see all this evidence. the result from this mission should be just get away from here. there's also concern about the safety of ukrainian technicians working inside the plant, about 200100 people right now. they're captured by russians and actually treated badly in this facility is actually captured before in the town or in the created prison, the prison from set. and they don't know what happened with some people even for the do not know anything about them for, for 3 months. for example, already, for now, the fighting goes on in the southern and eastern ukraine, as forces from the 2 sides trying to gain control of vital cities across the front
