but doubts heavily fortified. green zone is emptying the protesters. a sharp contrast to earliest scenes with violence broke out on monday when powerful she eyed lead and walked out of florida and notes. he would quit politics a day later he apologized and closed on his supporters to stand down and go home under kona. but i'm not the minis yet. what to her? now, i'm one of them. it easier to walk? there were some brutal militias, but the satirist shouldn't be vulgar. i still believe them. my support is our discipline. that's why if you don't withdraw from the parliament within 60 minutes, i am not going to be the solder is movements leader again, mama, i don't even want you to stage a peaceful demonstration. ah, it's not the 1st time. so the supporters have all the way into the presidential compound that been demonstrating. maam, 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 consultation of democracy. impulse 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 elections in october, but failed to form a majority coalition. thought in they had told his supporters to stand down, but with such intense rivalry at the heart of a rocky politics, their fears, it's only a matter of time before chaos and bloodshed is repeated. laura, by the manly onto sarah, was calling her mom or dad or had her in baghdad has been covering the last few hours far as mac mode. it seems to have quietened down significantly so far,

but the question obviously must be what's gonna happen next. for the rob that remains to be seen, but yes, lake you just mentioned. as you can see it's, it's becoming very quite hear you remember this area in front of the iraqi parliament that has been occupied for more than a months by supporters of shadley that walk to the seller that i've been. but i've been tents that have been case here. the have been crowds, ab huge crowds for weeks. ah, now we're leaving the area now evacuating, dismantling all their tents. are moving all the furniture, everything they brought to the area here. because as you know they, they were planning for a long hall flooring for a longer stay. there was saying that they will not leave the area until the parliament is dissolved an early elections be held, but they have been instructed by the lead that and what that serve to day following

their violent clashes that took lives of 30 people and injured 700 others, upon request from south himself upon his instructions, the have started leaving the area dismantling their tents, moving all their furniture, everything they brought to the area. it's becoming very quiet. and this, this departure has been facilitated by the government. the caretaker prime minister must have al cartler me, who has ordered all roads to be open, all a bridges that have been blocked since the clashes erupted yesterday. and also herb including the hanging gear bridge, a main bridge in baghdad. the can feel that was in place has been lifted. life is getting back to normal end, better dads, the streets, people, people's movements are getting back to normal at following that decision by souther to hes instructions to his supporters to leave the parliament area. now what

is going to happen next? what is going to happen next? that remains to be seen, but this is some kind of a d escalation. a move from southern himself met by another cut, move of de escalation from his rival politicians. the reigning bagged politicians who also order that at rival supporters or who have arrival, protest outside the defences of the gains on they have been also ordered 2 pull outs. if the, the situation is moving toward this, the escalation, the escalation, but whether or not this is paving the way for political talks to her, to take a concrete shape. again, that remains to be seen. that remains to be c as a, with her, with the mediation, mediations offer as by many politicians, including those in vicar this region. also,

you have the case at the, at the supreme court, the supreme court that was due to hold a session today to all on a petition submitted by said the supporters demanding the parliament be dissolved, federal remains to be seen. but what is, what is certain now is that all these state institutions are, are on hold until further notes. margaret, thank you very much. and did mcmurry, the other one had bringing us up to date from the situation in baghdad, or the latest unrest in iraq. his fuel to buy a power struggle between she i groups what our solder opposes foreign interference in local politics is supporters mainly come from poor communities that have been shut out of the political system. they are competing against a collection of shiite groups known as the coordination framework that are aligned with their on both sides have military wings with thousands of members. some of them have been involved in the street fighting in baghdad. another say one person

who could help and the crisis is the cleric alley, our sustaining is words hold enormous sway among iraqi people and their leaders. but so far, he's kept silent. let's bring in lucky he galler he's, he's the senior iraq analyst at the international crisis group and he, she joins us from stock on very good to have you with his mom on al jazeera and knocked out asada was able to call out tens of thousands of protesters on to the streets and when he was awed, then he ordered them within 60 minutes to clear the streets and they did what kind of message do you think that sammy's? well i think that so they were clearly wants to show his rivals that he has control over his crowd. he's able to order them into the street when he needs to and he's able to order them back when things escalate. a little bit too far in terms of the, the, the statements that he was making with regards to and the violence that had been

happening on the streets when he held his it, his press conference made a speech earlier on today. he was a supportive of the military and the restraint that it held. wow, significant. do you think it is that he has made that distinction? well, i think it shows up perfectly as poor to the current government led by what's the phone call the me that has been close to center for the last few years. his statement was also indicative in a commanding the security forces to show restraint towards the protesters and make sure not to spill any iraqi blood to, to the extent possible. and so i think that so their statement, ben was kind of a response to that, showing gratitude and then at the same time, sort of slandering those that have been responsible for any violence perpetrated that we were just talking to mom or dad or had our correspond there he was making the point they were talking about what happens next, and there's

a lot of speculation about what the route forward is gonna be. but if i understand correctly, one of the problems will be if there are negotiations that are due to go on about the structure of politics within iraq, all the structure of elections, then mac tata and all sada. has to have negotiations with the rival. she, i to groups whom he has been opposing all the simon who opposed somebody tried to form a government aid sounds as though that is somewhat intractable. is that a way, do you think of getting round that? well, i think the way to get around that is to hit the ceiling of escalation, which seems to have happened now. awe face, let's say, almost spiraled out of control yesterday. neither side, one to, to escalate further. and i think now center will perhaps be more willing to start talks, even if it's or not direct. once with all of the leaders of the sheer coordination of frameworks, some of whom he opposes with other. there are

a few that he would be open to talking to him that he has done so with in the past . and i think that both sides will try to find a way to de escalate the situation. meaning that they will have to comes to some sort of political agreement, whether that relates to what the, the functions of the current government. if those can go on whether that will be new elections and in new electoral law. but i think for now such statement was quite clear in indicating that he does not want further escalation. one of the, the things you just refer to it there. one of the did the, the suggestions that has been repeated made increasingly is that fresh elections should be held. certainly that's something the mcdahl sada has been pushing for. is it possible that that would actually solve the problem if the elections were held under the current political structure that exists in iraq without actually solving?

well, it might sort of reset the current political and pass which is important in order not to see further violence, but in the long run. no, it will not sold a deep rooted issue of the political system that that was installed in the lock was 2003 issue is really that we have too many political actors fighting for the, the same pieces of the, of the pie. and they are no longer able to distribute these positions within the state institutions since they have done in the past. la, hey, don't we appreciate you joining us and al jazeera. thank you very much indeed, ma'am. thank you. he monetary organizations in pakistan are struggling to get aid to more than 33000000 people affected by the worst floods in decades in our donations is sent along an appeal for emergency funds on tuesday. meanwhile, many communities are desperate for help symbols harvey has this story for him or

a counter offensive against russian forces in the south. the government says its troops have broken to russian defences on the front line, forcing units to retreat. but moscow says the assault failed and did ukraine suffered heavy losses. thousands of people have been leading house on to escape. the fighting traceable has more from cave. what is clear is that the crane has gone from being on the defensive to the offensive, trying to push russia back from many of the city that is occupied when this war 1st began. 6 months ago, you know, there's been talks about a counter offensive for several weeks now with president sir 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 a referendum, for example, in the next week someone got a thing. so suddenly there's a big change there with a president. now saying, i'm telling russia, the russian soldiers, they are to run for their lives. you know, the,

a team is already here and there are planning to move towards the support each region, 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 what region. that's the place where you are. the largest nuclear power plant is located, the russian defense ministry have been accusing ukraine of shelling, pierre, we are coming very, very quickly close to where radioactive waste is located. you know, the ukrainians, on the other hand, are accusing the russians from shelling that's happening all around that area. so lots of concerns about what could happen there. 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 so that we can present his, his number poses, answering questions from members of parliament about a corruption scandal involving his farm. has been accused of covering up the theft

of a large sum of foreign currency at the farm in february 2020. so far, rob a 4th has refused to comment in the matter. citing due process can, is supreme court is holding a pre trial hearing is this month's election comes under scrutiny, the court for outlying the process for the legal child to the pole was ult. william router was declared the winner, but 4 of the 7 commissioners refused to endorse the outcome. his rival violent dingo says the commission system was hacked. he wants a recount and says it will prove he one mock webs in nairobi and has more. what is the next chapter in the struggle for power here, and can even started the supreme court over the next 6 days. judges and the lawyers representing the various parties will go through the evidence that has been submitted while we're doing. and his lawyers alleged that there was elect to fraud his main opponent, william root, that the president denies it. the allegations against the electoral commission 5

years ago, we were in a similar position rather than leading the opposition challenge the results. and in an unprecedented move, the supreme court overturned the election in order to re run it in 6 days from now that we're expected to get a judgement and we'll find out if the supreme court upholds the election result as it was announced, dorsey called for a recount or re run of those polls if that happens, it has to take place. within 60 days, according to the constitution, i started wanting the melting from the greenland ice sheet, but eventually res global sea levels by at least $27.00 centimeters. even if the burning of fossil fuels stopped immediately, scientists say shrinking because of climate change and nothing can be done to prevent it. greenland is one of 2 massive ice sheets that are slowly shrinking because of climate change caused by burning coal, oil and natural gas. the study in the nature climate change journalist says

a 27 centimeter rises now, inevitable, but that is the best case scenario. sea levels could actually go up by as much as 78 centimeters. experts say the results are alarming. and what impact of $600000000.00 people living in coastal areas, the sea levels rise, one trillion dollars with global wealth could be threatened. professor david holland is an expert in ocean's science, and he says he knew the findings would be bad, but he didn't expect them to be this bad. the broadest level, the polar regions, the arctic in particular, is the most sensitive place on earth to climate change. a study, a week or so ago, 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, which is white. it no longer reflects sunlight and the blue ocean that's absorbing . so the rp is the place where we've seen enormous change and that's where the green and i seated located. if you have a background feel over live and of 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 a new york. so believe that will become a more frequent occurrence around the planet. we're raising the background. and that's, we're actually making now other natural events more severe. what we seek to answer this scientists kind of how much ice and how fast that's kind of guiding question. so from greenland, now we're getting a sense of how much based on this study, how fast is yet a question to be answered. i would speculate it's on the scale of a century based on what's been happening in the last 2 decades. but that's where we are now. more than $100000.00 people have moved to safety to flood sweat through south west china, the worsted areas that endured a months long heat wave that on pause abroad cooler temperatures, but also pose a risk. patrick fog has more from, from st full of the last couple of weeks chunks. you 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 about 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. and 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 a thought is, 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 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. serena williams has reached the 2nd round of the last major the us open. the $23.00 time grandson champion said to quit after the tournament. she beats dunker coverage to set up a meeting with 2nd. cedar and its quarterly us opened may be her farewell, but she says retirement is not a word she likes to use. i think when you're passionate about something and you love something so much it's, it's always hard to like, walk away sometimes and it gets harder to walk away than to not. and that's been the case for me. and so i've been trying to decide for a little while what to do. but i was just like, all right, well i think now's the time, you know, i just have a family, you know, have, you know, i, so my, i'm only, there's other chapters in life and, you know, i call the evolution.
