including learners, you know, the main use papers and tv stations. the shock is huge is the 1st time this has happened since the return of democracy in argentina, as the president said, rightly so. at the same time, the has created a counterfeit truth because 4 days ago, oh prosecutor. busy wanted her to arrest all or wanted to indict the brit vice president for none this, an occasional for elliot cases of corruption when the time they were a huge, she was a precedent and i created a little violent demonstrations in favor and against her. so that emphasized that highlighted bit blurry seizure, that the budget didn't society leaves at this moment. these, ironically, this attempt against a life or the vice president which has been condemned by everybody legends that made the way including mo, is your michael, the former president, who's been a critical of the government. i have created thought of a truth in a contra, which is still used to discuss those things i saw in douglas is going to in

a we help in a way to sort of a think again about how to deal with the situation again. tina, i'm on all political parties in the country before i, i ask you more about christina furnished the da krishna and the fact that she's such a divisive figure. an argentina just coming back to, to the attack. do you think this was politically motivated and i am asking you here to speculate a bit of course, because the elijah taca has been described as the far right brazilian man. where with the far right sympathies. all right, that is correct. does what that does, what the police and end of. busy she had both of gentlemen me to have him put his name is fernando. under his sub. i'm on here. he's been arrested in emergent dennis in writing ninety's, his brazilian funny, he said social media, instagram, facebook, he's shown sympathy for far right. organizations are one of the media and decision without confirmation says that he had his 1st eager, ah, in cartoon in his arm. and he's also a late, many far right websites,

including something called the ammonia cur, evil combination things later. he's also expressed the abortion to, oh, nor the gods, which is a key element of many far right sort of meat. as in the scandinavian countries, he has explained, he's kind of a scene, but he saw a book at the same time, he was interviewed by, by the book, by the television and a gina some weeks ago when you were asking about forbes about this edition, he was a critical to the government. so yes, he has expressed in social media for re sympathy. ah, we don't know whether he is sorry, part of some kind of network of conversation or he was just a long walls. but the fact of the matter is that is confirmed that he is chris. he has expressed far rising, but he is in social media in argentina. and you're right to point out that we still don't know what really motivated this attack. now why is christina? can kitchener such a divisive figure in argentina? as you said,

she is faced. numerous triumph is currently on trial for corruption. are some extreme politicians opposition? politicians in argentina have even call for the death sentence to be re introduced for the vice president. what. what is it about her? that is so polarizing. but she is accused of a legal case of corruption when she and her husband nestor occasionally were governors of santa cruz, a province in the south of the county where they would, they come from their queue allegedly of having a created a building company which 100 of the counter which benefited them personally, that happened according to this. busy in diamond when they were governors of that, that region, but also when they were present between you know, that i think to thousands of years now those like use of course they denied any kind of wrongdoing, obviously, and menu he supported believe that this is politically motivated she has refused to address the issue publicly in terms of until the family has said that she has

denied any wrongdoing. now that i took, the prosecutor was 12 years of prison for her. but she cannot be prosecuted at the moment because she has stomach and immunity sugar. she is the deputy of the content that has created. i gave you the attention because he supported the thing that he should go to prison. but his, her support. so it has her upon is believe she should go to prison for that by her supposedly that this is politically motivated and therefore she should not go to prison. thus was the element of vision there. what about her relationship with the current present? alberto fernandez, they haven't seen eye to eye either, especially on the economy. that's correct. and she's a mod so live we. ah, so do her a politician in terms of the economy. the pressing has tried to pro, to give some kind of more pragmatic market economics. but as in child was social reforms, christina, for not is more to that. if to the president, i'm many people have a q, so to be the power of to want to the power behind the throne. we mustn't forget

that she has a huge folly on to in many ways is following has been critical of the precedent. now be a go, right. they haven't seen eye to eye on. they haven't broken to religion. she get. but there's been tension. we need those 2 and that doesn't help because the routing party, which, which at the moment doesn't have a huge majority in, in the country is seen as divided and therefore your position is trying to take advantage sheila, so she doesn't seem to live. we by the government, the government thinks that they have to double move from multiple doors, economically push, especially after that. economy crunch is created by the college crisis by the copies abundance. briefly, javier, how do you see this incident affecting her ongoing corruption trial and her popularity? she expected to run for the senate and possibly the next election. willis help her . we think at, well, i did this. the shock grab diesel assassination attempt has trade in argentina. may

change things, i wouldn't know yet. well, you speculate him here. first of all, there accusation will remain. there's no reason for the prosecutor to unload is a decision because it is only between this, this initial attempt at accusations against her accusations. again, i have to repeat that that she denies are the same time come her popularity. this is quite huge among the ruling parties or over millions, which means that she might be able to start again now because she can be prosecuted at the moment because being nearly to she has as vice president got my, allow her to stand for the next election so in that respect or her position, sustie was still quite fragile intensive. oh, much can that prosecutor prove this cause of garage because at the moment they haven't shown any, any evidence so far is just accusations that she denies. so at the moment she has a great deal of popularity by many people, but she's also very device in figure. it depends. it remains to see whether she will keep that popularity after this a decision attempt. and he, she is the,

every since it is according to our gym, even media that her policy, she has, has been so enhanced because of this vision. and you must, mustn't forget to read. you shall 3 clearly a gun against her head and thus creak the shop in that jenkins sight. you saw huge that on my health ha ironically to regain some of the populace that she might have lost among people who do not agree with her. thank you. so much for talking to us harvey, if i thank you for your insight, highly if i is a political and this joining us there from london in the world news us present. joe biden has launch a scathing attack on his predecessor, donald trump, and the republicans to support him. biden said, tromp and his back has posed a threat to the very foundations of the united states. i white house correspondent, kimberly hawk. it reports, speaking from philadelphia, the city known as the birthplace of american democracy, president joe biden delivered a prime time address, declaring that us democratic values are under assault,

are come to this place where it all began to speak as plainly as i can to the nation about the threats rephrase using sharp and combat of language biden targeted his political rival by name repeatedly former president, donald trump biden has called trump's make america great again, or mag, or republican followers semi fascists, donald trump or the miger republicans represented extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic, with just 8 weeks until voters go to the polls for mid term congressional elections . and trump. now the focus of a criminal investigation into alleged miss handling of classified documents. biden's sending a message that a vote in november for some opposition republicans is a danger to democracy. but republicans fired back with their own speech. president

biden has chosen to divide the me and disparage his fellow americans. why? simply because they disagree with his policies, they accused by then a weapon, i think the federal government, to eliminate his political opposition. joe biden, to politicize department of justice launched, arrayed on the home of his top political rival, donald trump, that is an assault on democracy. republicans also accused biden of miss handling the economy and being soft on immigration, their issues that in recent months caused biden's approval ratings to plummet. the white house helps this forceful rebuke of tromp and his followers will turn things around. there are dangers around us. we cannot allow to prevail. we hear you've heard it more and more talk about violence as an acceptable political tool

in this country. it's none said sharpening his attacks on for president trump. president bivens approval ratings have been rising. its momentum he hopes will help his democratic party retain control of congress come voting day in november. kimberly, how can al jazeera, the white house, a caught in myanmar has sentence out of leader on funds to t 23 years in jail for electrical fraud in 2020. the military would say they found evidence of at least 11000000 cases of voter fraud in the election, which 2 chief party, one independent observers did not find any major irregularities on france with cheese already faith as already been jailed for 17 years on separate offences, including corruption live to tony chang, whose monitoring developments for us from bangkok. tony tell us more,

1st about this new sentence that's been handed down to on transportation. but as you say, it was announced about mid day mamma. time from the court had not to do that. she was given 3 more years on top of those existing sentences, so that would take her out of the limelight for 20 years. this case was reported as being 3 years plus hard labor. and there's some confusion at the moment as to whether that actually means hard labor, according to law, is inside man much something which is commonly added to cases. it is rather difficult to tell whether that'll actually be carried out. nonetheless, the intention here is clear from the military who being pushing very hard with these cases. this hearing was postponed from earlier in the week because the judge had covered, but they are just piling years and years and more and more cases on top of the still several more cases outstanding. she has denied all charges she's currently in

jail in the door. the military just recently announced that she may be allowed to serve out the sentence on the house arrest rather than in prison. but clearly their intention is to keep her out of the line and away from any election that may happen in the future. and tony, i understand there's been some developments in the case of a form where you can back to me on more v cable. indeed rickie bowman was arrested a week ago and charged with her husband for immigration offences relating to the faith that she was registered to a residence in yan gone. but apparently had been living as somewhere else for the past 12 months. we were expecting a hearing to take place on the 6th of september. we understand today from local media reports and social media reports her husbands, relatives had been making that she was the, their case was heard at insane prison court. today, she has been given a one year sentence for those immigration, a cases,

and her husband has been sentenced for a year for aiding and abetting her in the evading those immigration laws. i think the feeling is that this is a very tough sentence for what may only have been a minor infringement of immigration laws. but it appears again in the military, are using this opportunity to seize a high profile person. who may well be a very useful poll in the future, particularly after britain imposed more sanctions against mere mas military's or military and businesses related to them. a week ago. thank you tony for that. tony chang live there in bangkok. the head of the u ends. the atomic watchdog is wanting the physical integrity of your abs. largest nuclear power plant has been violated. val grossi and esteem have finally been able to inspect these apparition complex in ukraine. keven moscow have accused each other of attacking the plant and risking nuclear catastrophe. that

isabel reports from ukraine's capital ah renewed fighting around the somebody'd see a nuclear power plant in the city of a not that it did not prevent the un nuclear watchdog team from crossing the front lines. ah, in spite of the dangers, the team lead by the international atomic energy director ref, i little c moved ahead to begin the much expected visit. good aussie said he was able to inspect vital equipment. i worry, i worried i warry and i will continue to be worried about the plant until we have a situation which is more stable, which is more predictable. it is obvious that that, that plant and that physical integrity of the plant has been violated several times by chance. by deliberation. moscow says keep sent a sabotage, steam to try to recover europe's largest nuclear power plant that's been under

russian control since march. first of all, roosevelt at 620 a. m. to teams of ukrainians saboteurs, 60 men stroke. you 7 speed boats attempted to land banks of the kafka water reservoir. some 3 kilometers ne, to the supper is your nuclear power plant. he denies all accusations and says moscow is trying to manipulate the visit, carried out attacks around the city, to terrorize the population, and the ukrainian employees inside the plant. their well being is a major concern for ukrainian officials. keith says one of its reactors had to be shut down because of the shelling on thursday, and it warn't about the possibility of a meltdown if the plant goes offline completely. the visit is expected to last for a few days until the u. n. team on the ground can evaluate the dangers on site. the situation around the nuclear power plant has had authorities here in keep on the edge as are hoping russia will demilitarized the area. but russia has already said

it has no plans to remove its troops any time soon. that is how i'll defeat active live. so give elizondo is also in key for his game. what are you hearing about what's been happening ad separation? what's the latest? well, the good news is, as these international inspectors have been able to access this site as a that i suggest reported there. ah, but the uncertainty is what does happen moving forward? there's 2 lines of thinking here. number one is that we are hearing a that the i a eat a team that stayed back and we think it's only a few of the total number of 13 have stayed back at the nuclear site. i could stay there until saturday. we're also hearing that perhaps they want to set up some sort of permanent presence there at the nuclear power plant. we simply don't know which way it's going to go. and because this is such an unprecedented

operation by them or that we've been talking about here, it could be something that we simply don't know. and this is a situation that is changing not week by week, not a day by day, but really our by our but the bottom line here. and the big news coming out of this is that clearly the i e team is there. they have confirmed that the integrity of the plant has been compromised, of course, who compromised that, or whether it be the russians are shelling or the ukranian shelling as depends on who you want to believe at this point. but the bottom line here is, is that we'll have to see on how long these i. e, observers will stay at the plant. it could be for another day, it could be permanently, we simply at this stage do not know elsewhere. an ukraine and game fighting continues, especially in the west and the south. what. what's the latest on that?

yeah, the counter offensive that sir the ukrainians are are, are working on this in the south of the country. a in cat soon. aah! moves forward, but it's slow. it's clear that this is only about the 3rd or 4th day of this counter offensive in the far south. and it is clear at this point that this is going to be very methodical. it is not going to be fast. it is going to be taking a part of the 3 axes and that it's important to point out that there's car, so in the region or the state, if you will. and there's also the cuts on this city and it appears that right now the ukrainians are, are, are working the state area, the region, if you will. and they are not quickly advancing towards the city and that is by choice and that. but clearly the battle field is still very much in flux, and this is going to go on for a while. it's important to point out that well, all the focus right now is on carter soon in the south. there is still

a fighting going on in dawn boss and also, and car keys in the north. the 2nd largest city in ukraine, the governor of that. a concave region stated that overnight there was russian shelling of concave or least part of carter keith. and we haven't been able to independently confirm that. however, it does give you an idea of that. while all of this focus now is on the far south, there is still fighting going on, both in the dawn bass region in the east and even ahead. keith in the northeast as well. gabriel. thank you very much for that gaming elizondo live in the cranium. capital keefe, pakistan southern thin province is bracing for more floods from surging rivers in the north. already inundated by weeks of monsoon range, some areas are again at risk. al jazeera is in this rob rate for some may har way people are trying to save their time from suffering the same fate as many others

feel the bags hold back the flood for risk losing everything where the road disappears into deep water. there is a desperate race against time. every one must help and every back counts. mirror is on the front line of pakistan's flood crisis. a city in a fight for survival. within a few days, residents built a wall of mud and sandbags around their town to keep the water out. i've got to get bonnie, anybody to do some more water comes, then there will be a threat. but for now, the waterfall has stopped, and if at some point there is another breach, that would be a risk. but for now, the city is safe, but it was the optimism in the face of mounting odds part of the job. but some of the cities residents blamed the local government for being slow to act was so per month. there is a lot of confusion here. they only want us to leave when there was

a breach. they should have warned people sooner. they're telling us at a time when people can't go anywhere, the roads have already been blocked. look at close the waters come. i mean, look at close the waters come with a fear of even more flooding has forced some to walk out where they can. and where it is too deep search and rescue operations are also underway. but many families remain perilously close to a growing threat. this is a town that is almost completely surrounded by flood waters. local officials tell us that 80 percent of the 1000000 people who live here have already evacuated. those that have stayed behind or either waiting to see what happens, or they are working around the clock to make sure that this mud wall does not breach. because this must be sandbags. these are the only things that are standing between this town being saved or being completely overwhelmed by flood waters that are everywhere. compounding matters a relief operation,

still struggling to get off the ground towns people surrounded a rescued vehicle, demanding food. but there was none to give empty handed and angry. they say they don't know what is worse, not having enough to peep or the ominous rising water at their doorstep. zane basra, b l g 0 mer districts in pakistan. india is government has commissioned its 1st home built aircraft carrier as it grows its naval fleet and tries to keep up with regional rival china prime minister, no rain dro, moe. d attended the milestone in co cheek the iron. if the crime is the largest warship fails in india woodville for about $1600.00 crew and 30 a craft. it took 17 years to construct and test. pardon me, thom has more from india. this is a big milestone for india, strategically and symbolically recorded in english means powerful and brave. and

that is precisely the image that is being projected over here. it costs more than $2.00 and a half $1000000000.00. and most of the work from designing to constructing to testing has been done domestically. so nobody it is being seen as a big win. because with this, india has joined a small but an elite club of nation that has built a warship of this kind in house. now, i mean the government has, for many years been promoting this idea of making india is says, rely, and nation. and so when the prime minister commissions ins, vic grant, the message he's really putting out in the world is that at least on the high seas, india has truly arrived. now, strategically, this is being seen as a way for india to catch up to china. it is being seen as a potent addition to india as often and see which can truly expand its capacities

and capabilities at a time when china is also aggressively expanding its presence. now the grant can hold up to 1600 crew members and 30 aircraft. you know, there have been concerns about china presence in the oceans. recently, chinese ship docked in she, lunk up. india says that ship could track its massage even though china says that ship is only for research. it's the final day of campaigning for chillies. constitutional referendum, which will be held on sunday, the promise to re draft. the constitution followed violent protests against inequality in 2019, in october 20, 2078 per cent of chile insulted in favor of a new constitution to replace the one from 1980. the final version of the new document was written by especially elected assembly and presented in july it in shrines. gender equality, indigenous rights, and environmental protections. recent polling has indicated

a majority of will rejected, but around 16 percent to remain undecided. the referendum comes against a backdrop of public disapproval of prison, gabrielle borage, spiraling inflation, and a rise in violent crime. i. latin america as a lucy newman has more from rally's for and against the new constitution. in santiago. it's the final day of campaigning for a new constitution that is polarizing julie as never before. there are thousands and thousands of people at this rally who support the draft charged her. they say that it will change actually in a video, and indeed it will. if a pro, the constitution would spell a major shift for this country, which has one of it's not the most free market economies in the world, it would go to a more social democratic style of government. and one in which the state would have to guarantee health education. pensions of the constitution says we should be

a nation of solidarity one that cares for everyone. as stated in article one, it's what we all thought for in the 19th sixty's, but no one listen. i've also seen it as an extremely progressive constitution that recognizes the problems of climate change, for example, as well as giving a much greater autonomy to indigenous people. what get them one moment, boy, we are leaving a global crisis in which nature is demanding a help. it's an unprecedented environmental crisis, and in that sense, without a doubt to listen, you're going to cushion will become a model for because under we're a borders are of every age and social class. would not everyone is happy with the draft prostitution. we're the reject rally right now . there are only up real 100 people here as opposed to the 10s of thousands at the approve rally what the numbers may not really paint the right picture of at least

according to the polls. which say that more than 50 percent of children are likely to vote against the new constitution because many people fear that it is rather a vague and open to interpretation. if i was a sure no, no, no, no. i'm going to vote. we dig about because i think the disco sufficiently bytes to it separates us. i think we need to write a new better one. i would, oh, either way, for the 1st time in decades, it voting will be in mandatory here in chile, which means that there will be millions of young people have never voted before will have to weigh in on the new constitution. so right now it isn't possible to really say what is going to happen on sunday when jillions golden oppose. ah.
