4:03 pm
it's not the 1st time saw the supporters have all the way into the presidential compound that been demonstrating the mum this is a political rivalry between 2 different parties are sides of the spectrum, one side and trying to maintain the consensus agreement of the con. so say tional, democracy and pulse, 2003 iraq and the other side which is a sundress movement, trying to are revamped the political system in iraq. his party won the most parliament seats in the elections in october, but failed to form a majority coalition. thought it may have told to support as the stand down, but with such intense rivalry at the heart of a rocky politics, there are fears. it's only a matter of time before chaos and bloodshed is repeated,
4:04 pm
nor about money out of fear of them. escalade along with the walk headed, who's in bagdad for a smarter al sadi gave his supporters but 60 minutes and wished to fully withdraw from the green zone. and the did, that's really quite extraordinary. we'll ra, but things are, are changing, get swiftly inside the green zone, or we're standing now in front of the putnam as you can see right behind me. so the supporters have his targeted upon his instructions in his, at last a speech. they have a start to dismantling these tense that they have set up for over a month. now remember that they have been occupying the parliament and its premises for the past month or rejecting the parliament and the protesting against the rival lo makers and demanding the dissolution of the parliament an election to be held to. and did the political dedlock. we have been speaking to some of them,
4:05 pm
they say that they've come from civil cities across iraq. and they say that the fact that they're now following instructions from the leader, they're leaving the area upon his request. but that does not mean that they cannot return. they say that it's possible for them, they can return at any time upon again at the request or instructions from their leader mocked under a southern. meanwhile, this is some kind over the escalation following the violent classes that it killed about 30 people, an injured about 700 others in the green zone, when military confrontations escalated between military units affiliated to both mach, that the southern and his iranian backed at re valour politician, so now they are in and backed. politicians are also colon on the supporters to leave,
4:06 pm
to pull out from the eddie outside the fences of the green zone slots. they did the in his speech that he gave or to say within the last few hours or so. mcmurry looked at al serra said that he had, he was reiterating that he had retired from politics. but he is at the center of all of this and who runs iraq and how it is run isn't, is very much of the heart of this. so what happens next will that, that is very unpredictable question, at least for the time being. because as you just mentioned, he has retired or he has just, it is i in the, from the political process, but he cannot be dispensed with. he's at the very heart of that political atmosphere. so, but by the way, i mean that the last to move by, so the supporters pulling out the escalating and that is also at met by another.
4:07 pm
the escalation is step on the other side from their arrival politicians. the iranian bagged politicians who last get their supporters to pull out from the other protest outside defenses of the green zone. these could be read as moves towards de escalation. but again, will this paved the way to political settlement? will this pope the way it is me, will this also prepare for another round of political talks that remains to be seen but in all cases, this step to day has been met with the air or has been met with praise from the government, from the care ticket by miss for many politicians from even from could the could this region, politicians who are, are asking their evil politicians to come back again to their negotiating good table. so now it's amazed to be seen whether or not these,
4:08 pm
these colliding is steps on the field will reflect to the political rivalries, will probably at paved the way to a mediations trying to bridge the gap on hill or heel. the rift between the shared to a political ravens. my word, thank you very much. indeed, mark murdered the warhead, bring this up to date from baghdad, or the latest unrest in iraq as fuel, partly by a power struggle between shied groups. masada asada opposes foreign interference and local politics. if supporters mainly come from poor communities that have been long been shot out of the political system, they're competing against a collection of shiite groups known as the coordination framework that are aligned with the run. both sides of military wings with thousands of members. some of them been involved in the street fighting in baghdad. analysts say one person who called could help and the crisis is the clerk shall your study is was do hold enormous way among iraqi people and their leaders. but so far he's kept silent. for me is the
4:09 pm
secretary general of iraqi communist party and he's a former minister. he says new elections and needed. there has been a good luck for many months now. and it was all in see you there was a been more vague and people i've been saying all the way. we're among other people to be saying that if there is no elliptical initiative or decisions, if you the situation and this is by struggling apartment, that the good backward continue. and if you call 2 years like me, the attention will continue. and the further development where open it is possible . so this is marlos know was not really completely surprising because of it to the deadlock and the people. the polarization was excellent to reach it over the past about months. so now progress admission was offered to violence devoted to the
4:10 pm
deadlock. so we should here are, i think, politically, i would prefer the shooting that initiative, whatever it should be, put forward on the bridges of which we can talk then about seizing the part of the file. and then we'll go back to product, the color, the critique general to product connection. and this you should respond by a clear decision and clear expression, quote, why or properties to solve the apartment and to go for your election. and then we get an idea of the mechanics and then because it should not be a reason for, for, for, for that good thing about obtaining who are the main objective, the meter, just give it a chin, probably the problem. and then we can agree on proper the proper because it any more head on the knees are included, homeless and in desperate need of help to rental rain wipes out villages and crops . an eastern cigar. a choice of 2 very different candidates for brazilians. find

4:15 pm
the river in which comes from the north. now both are said to be in high flood. and although the situation up noted now improving where the water is receding, they did a grave thread. this large water body is heading out toward the province of sin and is going to hate sudden punjab, daggers focused on cotton growing bell. and gordon is of course pockets on scotch grub. my good will also devastate populations that situated close to the river bank . august on has seen massive deforestation which of course has come bonding the problem that is worrying and that ever bags. and of course, that are now high population density along the water body. the country now has to think very seriously if it wants to mitigate the crisis and deal with future flood right now. the grave threat is board 2 areas which are end up on job and the

4:17 pm
a dramatic change in weather conditions. temperatures have gone from daily highs about 40 degrees celsius right down to the mid twenties. and there's also been this rain for which began on sunday and it's still ongoing. and as you can see, it's really helped 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
4:18 pm
to be further weather related uncertainty in the days ahead. sudanese authorities in 99 people have died into renshaw, rains, and flash floods over the past few weeks. they've warned the rivers in the east of which dangerous levels and they could burst their banks at any moment. a home of our reports were caught soon homeless and in desperate need of health. 36 villages in eastern sudan have been inundated by water, and the threat from floods isn't over yet. the torrential reams began more than 5 weeks ago. and gash, a seasonal river near the city of casela, has reached unprecedented levels. and threatens to spill into surrounding areas. clueless lola. unlike on an inaugural, oh gosh loadings. our biggest program. we've been asking for a bridge to be built in this area since 2017. but authorities never responded to our demand. local authorities say several people have lost their lives in this area

4:21 pm
fighting to visible lifeless now from keep 2 different stories on the fighting in council. are we any clearer but what is actually been happening? well, what is clear is that ukraine has gone from being on the defensive to the offensive, trying to push russia back from many of the cities that is occupied when this war 1st began a 6 months ago. you know, there's been talks about a counter offensive for several weeks now with preference lensky saying that he was going to recover that last territory that he was going to liberate cities like had a song that had been occupied by russia were, you know, they're planning to hold referendum, for example, in the next week, some on gather things. so suddenly there's a big change there with a precedent now saying, and telling rushes of the russian soldiers, they are to run for their lives. you know, when the 1st invasion began from crimea,
4:22 pm
russian to started invading the southern part of the country and that came to a stop in the city of nikolai, where our russians holders were prevented from advancing. and they were pushed back towards her son. where all this fight is ongoing because of what happened in the goliath, the russian forces were not allowed to continue all the way to the city of or lisa, for example, that crucial for ukraine's economy. quote your life, among other things. so right now, what's ongoing is that ukrainian forces are battling russian soldiers using wester and provided weapons like high mars by the united states. among other things, i'm trying to push the soldiers back. so we're gonna have to see whether visits enough, whether ukraine has a manpower or the weapons to carry out this. but while all this is happening in the eastern part of the country, they're still russia continues to advance, trying to control the dope dumbass region. there's been several strikes in the city of how to keep where at least 5 people were killed, dozens of others injured. and you know, as i said before, 6 months of this war,
4:23 pm
thousands of people have died and millions have been displaced. another flash point in this is obviously been the fighting has been going on around the nuclear planted at zachary show there's been a lot of pressure on the i. e a to get a team in there to be able to check to see how that plant is being run. do we have any more updates about what the situation was with that? well the a team is already here in kiva, and they're planning to move towards the support each reach and probably on wednesday. this is the information that we're handling for now, but it is not confirmed. you know, there's been lots of tension about what's happening and just have, what is your region. that's the place where you are up. the largest nuclear power plant is located there. russian defense ministry have been accusing ukraine of shelling. we are coming very, very quickly close to where radio active wave to a located, you know, the ukrainians on the other hand, are accusing the russians from shelling that's happening all around that area. so
4:24 pm
lots of concerns about what could happen there. even authorities, local authority have started distributing i o d m pills in case there's that radioactivity leak. what we're hearing right now is that the ukrainian government is accusing russia of shelling the area shelling the corridor where the a team is supposed to travel. the big government, the korean government to say that they want to push them to go through crimea, which is russian control crimea. and this has been, you know, an ongoing fight from which part of the country they should travel all the way to stop what he's. yeah, you know, this, there's lots of expectation on this visit to the inspectors will have to verify the safety of the nuclear power plant, how the technicians, ukrainian technicians who are still working there are right now. and also whether it's all the safety systems are still in place. teresa, thank you very much. indeed, teresa been talking to us from keith alex folks of is a russia and ukraine risk analyst for s and p global intelligence. he's explaining
4:25 pm
why both sides are fighting. so hard for control of custom because one is the only city on the left, western bank of the nipper river, which is under russian control. and it opens a gateway, 2 of the 2 potential ground defensive, which russia potentially would aspire to undertake towards me alive. and then i guess, you know, the to deny ukraine of the black sea coast. so if you create, manages to retake harrison, it would be very significant because it means that russia would not be able to stage such an offensive in my view, very significantly, ukrainian armed forces and now heavily dependent on western western manufactured weapons and ammunition. because the, the soviet era, soviet standard size, which was previously available to ukraine, has been either the stock has been either depleted or destroyed during the 1st
4:26 pm
6 months of fighting. so increasingly, ukraine depends on continued supply of weapons from the west. and with the latest arrivals which are more complex and more advanced western weapons, its military capabilities have improved you energy, minnesota, due to meet next month to discuss soaring prices, europe has been struggling with huge energy price increases as it tries to come in ports of russian gas and oil, latasha boffa has more from powers. well the tech republic company holds the rotating presidency of the european union. and that is why they have called this emergency a meeting of energy ministers next week in brussels. they say it's absolutely essential that the you take a look a ways that it can shield industry companies and people from storing energy bills. there's a lot of concern of cross, of course,
4:27 pm
across the block about how to try and shield people from the impacts of these bills . we've all seen how these, how energy costs are just going up and up, consume, is very concerned. now what at the czech republic says, is that it will be putting on the table a proposal and a number of proposals, and among them will be a cap on gas prices that are used for electricity production. it's very important said the cheque industry minister when he was outlining some of these proposals a bit earlier that the you does take a block wide approach. he says that some countries going to be suffering a lot more than others because of the impact of a drop in gas supplies, particularly from russia, and that as a blot all 27 meant the states need to work together to try and navigate through this crisis. very much along the lines of an e u wide approach that was taken during the covey pandemic. we've also heard, i should add from the french prime minister elizabeth born. she was talking
4:28 pm
a bit earlier in paris to company bosses. she has called on companies in front to try and reduce their energy consumption by 10 percent. these will be, this will be a voluntary basis. it won't be a mandatory basis, but the government says that it does reserve the right to put in mandatory costs in the future if the, if it is felt that it is needed. we've heard from elizabeth born again as we've been hearing from these e leaders, that it will be a very difficult winter ahead for consumers and businesses in europe. typhoon in the north was pacific being so powerful as setting records jeff with the world weather update. here's your weather update in a minute 15. thank you so much for joining in. so we've had this typhoon equivalent to a category for hurricane cars, quite a debt, devastating destruction on chichi jima in japan. that's about a 1000 kilometers east of tokyo. set a record for wind gusts in august,

4:30 pm
i had on al jazeera jeff was just saying for the heat wave now, flooding we're in china or tens of thousands of people are being forced to move to safety. and king is election battle heads to court. presidential candidates, right. i didn't get launches his challenge. after rejecting results sally of this month and in sports, the battle of the big hitters in major league baseball that's coming up with joe. ah ah.
4:31 pm
4:32 pm
supporters of shively. dom walked out al serra leave bag dads, green zone. sort of gave supporters a deadline to endo demonstration, but turned violent on monday. at least 30 people have been killed. humanitarian organizations in pakistan are struggling to get aid to more than 33000000 people. affected by the worst floods and decades. more than 1100 people have died since the monsoons began in the cranes launched a counter offensive against russian forces in the south to retake the cal song region. the government says its troops of broken through russian defences and the front line foreseen units to retreat. ok, let's return to our top story. they political unrest. amy rock, guy barton is a medley specialist and an adjunct professor of the brussels school of governance, who's joining us live from they are good to happy with the so thank you very much. indeed. mcdahl sada, as demonstrated, he can send thousands of people on to the streets. he's also showing that he can get them off the streets in about 60 minutes. what kind of message does that send?
4:33 pm
well, i mean that's very much the point that you've been trying to show because he resigned yesterday and then today he stats in and said, you know, get off, get on the street. yeah, we need to move the process forward. and this is all very much down to the fact that sandra has been, you know, he was the winner in last year's elections. and he's been wanting to push the, the government formation, and finding out very much frustrated as a result of being opposed to the other made with groups out there. and so as a result, this is his way of showing that he is still but control that he still has it. he still has power even when he doesn't hold any old position. so obviously one of the key questions is what happens next? particularly with regard to the way that a rank is actually politically brun. i'm a total mcdonald outsider. i really couldn't reach an agreement with the sheer groups that were backed by a run in order to be able to form a government in part that's. that's what's driving at least an element of the
4:34 pm
protests that we've been seeing in terms of moving things forward. how likely is it that he's going to be able to reach some sort of accommodation with those groups if he hasn't been able to reach that before? well, it's been extremely difficult because you know, some responses beforehand we get the largest number and he's in parliament when he wasn't getting his way back and g, he pulled his members of them out. he had to call him block called by buying his rivals and the other factions of the, of the she and she and movement. and he replaced his and he's with, with their i'm and then i just go to that. are i got information now i said what we need is to go back to elections and the, his rival say, no, we don't need to do that. so we kind of that we were stuck at this deadlock at the moment and how we move forward is going to require a great amount of political will, a willingness to, to go beyond what the sides are prepared to do that,
4:35 pm
could potentially come from maybe the other political axes that exist in iraq because the city politicians, but they have their own 0 sum game approach seem to rock politics. maybe it will to my require looking for a field to get outside bomb is. but of course, if you think about the principal axes who are influential in iraq, iraq, politics, the americans, you radians, they, they have problem, they have problems to, if they try to be too visible. and that mean, well, from the backlash against that process. one of the issues, if i understand correctly, is the fact that even if they went back to elections, as has been suggested by decided us, but also by allah, by others as well. those elections are still going to happen under the same structure that exists at the moment in which it has been impossible for the iraqis to be able to find a government for the last 3 elections that, that i'm aware of. what is it going to tell me you, you are referring to having an outside influence in order to be able to change the
4:36 pm
structure. but it sounds as though you need somebody that is going to be trusted by everybody in order to be able to encourage that change of structure. any idea who that could possibly be that's going to be incredibly difficult to do. i think, you know, for example, the american have not been very involved in the law since the start of the year in trying to push a gender. although very much, they seem to be very much in alignment with, with sabra, but they don't want to be too visible about that because of because i presented some of the nationalists with the american and reagan country. meanwhile, the radians have their own active, but they want to push. and so, you know, the barrier level. and you also talked about, you know, going back to elections when we moved to need. keep in mind that the last election, which happens in 2021 at the lowest trying out possible general sense of, of malays about the political process. a real disillusion about that. and that was
4:37 pm

threatened while professor david holland is an expert in oceans, science leaders. joining us now from new york are to just returning from greenland . vega to have you with us own analogies here. so thank you very much. indeed, i understand you've been carrying out gervantes on the ice the results of this i they're surprised to you. yes, there are. i've been studying greenland or the last more than a decade or so now. and i've always had this feeling consistent with the i p. c. c that the amount of ice coming out of greenland would be modest, something about half the amount of this study. so this study is a really surprising result and i believe it's quite credible. i know we're putting it down a broad brush strokes to, to blur climate change. but what is actually happening on our kind of more technical level? can you talk us through why the ice is actually changing? yes. the broadest level, the polar regions, the arctic in particular, is the most sensitive place on earth to climate change of study a week or so ago,
4:47 pm
demonstrated one part of the arctic is warming 7. i repeat 7 times faster than anywhere else on earth. this has to do with the fact that ice disappears. it is white, it no longer reflects sunlight, and the blue ocean starts absorbing. so the arctic is the place where we're seen enormous change and that's what the green on ice sheet is located. and so we're talking about a minimum increase of sea levels of about $27.00 centimeters, possibly up to $78.00 centimeters. these numbers are kind of abstract on the it's very difficult for people to get a sense of just how much of an impact doc could have. can you give us some way of describing how people might be affected by the rise and sea levels? it's particularly associated with extreme events like storms and king times. if you have a background feel over lives in about a foot, and then you have a large tide and then you have a storm. well then you have something like hurricane sandy that we went to new york
4:48 pm
. so believe that will become more frequent current around the planet. we're raising the background, and that's, we're actually making not other natural events more severe. we're saying that this is reversible, that it is going to happen, and it's inevitable. one would imagine, given the number of people that you're talking about, that this is going to affect the should be a huge rethink and how people are living, how they protect themselves and where they're living as well. but imagine, i think so, i think we saw some, some hope in the climate bill in the united states, couple of weeks back in terms of the government moving towards in more responsible about renewable energy. so i thought that was a bright spot, and i think that is happening and other places around the world as well. this is if you will, a baked in or committed fact the carbon dioxide in the air around us now is going to be here a long time. and so the warming is committed and the reorganization of the ice
4:49 pm
sheet of greenland is, is already there. we shouldn't be perhaps more concerned with what possibly going to happen in the south in antarctica, there this fake are enormous. we're talking about a change that could be many meters. this all sounds very dramatic, but i haven't asked you, of course is why this is likely to happen. is there a timeframe? is there some way of estimating when it will actually start to impact everybody? yeah. so the timeframe. what we seek to answer the science is kind of how much ice and how fast that's kind of our guiding question. so from greenland now we're getting a sense of how much based on this study, how fast is yet a question? he answered, i would speculate, it's on the scale of the century based on what's been happening in the last 2 decades. but that's where we are now. we need further research and we also need to recognize that we need to go about the way we do science. to provide these answers
4:50 pm
. we need to really pick up the science and the can only be done with basically doing a much larger science effort involving a lot of countries. we really appreciate you being with this professor david told him, thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you. still had on al jazeera, a big out 71 of the us open as an ukranian qualify or not. so the former runs slot and champion details from that was war to jo. ah ah.
