a man has been detained following the incident on thursday, leah harding has more. christina fernandez, da kirschner was greeting supporters outside her home in argentina when she was confronted with a gun held to her face. oh, the vice president duct witnesses screaming kirshner was returning from court when the ordeal happened. the former president is a device of figure in argentina and is in the midst of a corruption trial. she denies the charges. indeed, this is the most serious event we have gone through since argentina returned to democracy, christina remains alive because of a reason that has yet to be confirmed. technically, the weapon that had 5 bullets did not fire despite being triggered. the man holding the gun was grabbed by some of her supporters and detained. he is believed to be a brazilian in support of the far right. 0, one of the meetings station was up confirmation says that he had swastika ah, in cartoon in his arm. he's also a, like many,

far why websites and good assumption goal that they monia evil company human things . later in 2018, brazil's current president jarboe scenario was stabbed during an election rally which boosted his popularity. something analysts say could happen now. for kirschner, the media shows re galia gun against her head, and thus the shock, indigent genius. thank you so huge. that might help huh. ironically, to regain some of that populate that she might have known among people who do not agree with her. the president has declared friday a national holiday in defense of democracy, a united response from a government that has seen deepening divisions over its response to another economic crisis, which has seen 70 percent inflation. some of the highest in the world. lia harding al jazeera, in other words, he is britain's former ambassador. tim myanmar has been given

a one year jail sentenced by the military regime for breaking visa regulations. and the key barman was arrested a week ago. the enmity military of all as accused her of saying at an unregistered address in a town outside her home city of young gone. her husband has also been jailed for a year for helping her move bombing service for his british british ambassador from 2002 to 2006 live to tony chang in bangkok was monitoring their situation in man. my for i. so one year jail's sentence are for violating immigration laws, which seems a bit harsh. tony what, what is the message digitized trying to send here? well i think her, there was concern that mrs. bowman had remained in miramar after the military coup . she had apparently been keeping a very low profile. apparently these offences relate to the fact that her visit had been issued for a particular address in young gong where she lived with her husband. but she had

spent that much of the last year outside in shan state that are say, the government is a in breach of their immigration rules as she is now serving their centers. it is something of a surprise also we had heard when she was arrested last week, that there would be a hearing on the 6th of september. the fact that she's been sentenced to day so quickly as an indication perhaps of the fact that she may be used as a bargaining chip by the military gentle, particularly after the british government move to place more sanctions last week on a businesses related to the gender and the generals who are in charge, but i think it will be a concern for, for many people. a also that she is being held in, in st. prison, which is young guns, maximum security. prison is where most of the major political prisoners are kept. and it's a place where conditions are known to be very harsh. meanwhile, an additional sentence, tony, for deposed leader ant, answered she indeed,

and this was her court day, which was postponed from monday when the judge apparently had covered her. again, this is now 3 more years with hard labor, or in addition to the 17 years which she's already been sent and stood there still more sentences to come in there some debate over whether the, whether the hard labor which was attached to today sir sentence will actually be imposed, this is something which is apparently due to the electoral law which she was charged with and found guilty of to those charges which she denies. none the less, i think the intention from the military gentle here is clear with this and the other charges. she is clearly going to be removed from the political scene, particularly as they say they will persist with their promise of elections by the autumn of next year. they have said that she may be allowed to serve that sentence on the house to rest,

not in prison where she is currently. but the fact these are now 2 decades that more than she has to serve and attention, i think is a clear sign that they are not going to let her back out into public. tony chang in bangkok, thank you. he you ends. atomic watchdog says 2 of its inspectors will stay at these operation nuclear plant in ukraine on a permanent basis. on thursday, the i 18 said dale worried after the integrity of the facility in the south of ukraine. given moscow have accused each other of endangering the plant with military strikes and nuclear plant is controlled by russia, but manned by ukrainian staff. i worried i worry 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 the plant and the physical

integrity of the plant has been violated several times by chance, by deliberation. let's speak to given a zone to live in key forest. i gave bring us up to speed with what's been happening with the i is visit his operation and how ukrainian authorities have react. well, the big question that we're facing now is what happens next to the i officials. they're on their 2nd day at the visit. and there's been conflicting reports on if they would leave completely over the weekend if they would try to stay a little bit longer or keep some sort of permanent presence there were just hearing within the last few minutes that it appears that they are going to try to keep some sort of permanent presence. that's the i e officials i'm speaking about at does apparition, nuclear power plant. what that arrangement exactly will look like the exact details

we simply don't know yet, but we can tell you that we are getting a better sense of how the a visit by the i e officials has been going. and it's clearly been very staged managed by russia. there were no international journalists or ukrainian journalists that were allowed to accompany the inspector's only journalists that were approved by the russians. and then also we saw that as the i, e. officials were touring the plant, they were accompanied by an official in a dark suit and we have discovered that person is a. 3 advisor to the russian nuclear watchdog or the not russian nuclear organization. you add all this up and this is why the view from keith is very skeptical. and that is why we're hearing from a president of all the mears zelinski about the census. if you get in a,

he's insinuating, if you will, that he's not happy with how this is gone down so far. let's listen to a little bit more of what is it on? he had to say cleaners, umbrella said le dulles. so demilitarization of the territory of the station is the goal, and it is bad that we have not yet heard the appropriate messages from the i. e. a, despite the fact that we talked about, it was mr. grossi during our meeting, and yet it was the key security point of our agreements. it was outlined clearly, demilitarization and full controlled by our nuclear workers. now this is of a war of course, and war or is about a lot of things, but part of it is about information manipulation. and that's clearly what we're seeing by both sides, ukrainians, and the russians. when it comes to this visit by the i e. inspectors there ukrainians very clearly, very disappointed, at least initially on the fact that they didn't get more transparency and that there weren't a ukrainian officials there. this clearly appears to be,

at least at the initial stage of this stage managed by the russians. and this is exactly what the ukrainians were fearing the most. the big question now again is as we start to get information about the i e, a potentially setting up some sort of permanent presence there. and we're hearing it could be as few as 2 people. what will that look like? could that benefit the russians who control militarily, control this nuclear plant? how will that affect effect the ukrainians in their counter offensive as they try to retake? what they clearly say is there's a and that should be turned back over to them. so this is a situation that clearly is, could change not week by week, not day by day, but our, by our game. thank you for that. given elizondo with the latest stand from teach you as president joe biden has launched a scathing attack on his predecessor, donald trump, and the republicans. so support him by and said trump and his back has posed

so we'll move on while we get that sorted and tell you about the strike by german airline lufthansa, which is cancelled 800 flights because of a one day strike by its pilots leaving more than a 100000 passengers stranded at its biggest hobbs. they're demanding better pay and working conditions. let's bring in our correspondent in germany, dominic cane who was at the airport in berlin for his said, tell us about the situation in berlin and elsewhere in germany as a result of history. one of the things that stands out about this strike is that lufthansa flights both in terms of passengers, but also cargo of very badly affected by it. that was the mission, as it were, of this strike action to try to ground as many flights as possible. and they have been successful in this particular airport, which is not such a large hub full of tanza love. tons of lights aren't flying, but as you can see, many passengers around because other airlines of course,

all flying. but if you look at the other airports, the major hubs full of tanza in germany, that his munich and frankfort, all the flights were cancelled. and the estimate is like a $130000.00 passengers will be affected by this strike action. and at its heart, this resolves around revolves rather around pain conditions because the union cockpit is, it's called, is demanding 5 and a half percent pay rise across the board for all its members. more than $5000.00 pilots, b, they novice qualified pilots or the most senior, and they wants built in to whatever deal emerges. protection for inflation rises in 2023. lufthansa says no lufthansa has offered something which doesn't meet those demands as it were. and as a consequence, this strike actions taken place when i spoke to a representative of the union who's taking the strike action, i said, what about the situation? many, many passengers are feeling this, the inflation,

the price rises in that sort of thing. the energy crisis and he said that his members do understand that they don't want to take strike action. that's why there isn't just such a picket line in many air force, but they feel they have no other option. and so far, at least, there is no immediate set. suggestion that either side of this strike action is willing immediately to go back to the negotiating table. thank you very much for that. tony kane reporting their lives from berlin. i, we have that report for you now from pakistan, way in the southern scene, province, people of racing from all floods from surging rivers in the north zane. this ronnie reports. ha, ha ha. oh feel the bags hold back the flood or 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. mere 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, can you buy it to do some more water comes, then there will be a threat. but for now, the waterfall 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 an 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 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 that. 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 rescue 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 eat. oh,

the ominous rising water at their doorstep. z basra, the old g 0 mer doug districts in pakistan. india is government has commissioned its 1st domestically produce aircraft carrier as it expands this naval fleet to keep up with regional rival china. prime minister render mo, d attended a ceremony marking the event in the coastal city of co ci the iron as if he cron to the largest warship ever built in india and can carry 1600 crew and 30 aircraft. it took 17 years to construct and tests. pardon me, thom has more from you delhi. 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, i and this vic grant, the message he's really putting out in the was, 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 as it is being seen as a potent addition to india as often and see which can truly expand its capacities and capabilities at the 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 present 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 in chile ahead of a constitutional referendum on sunday. the decision to re draft the constitution followed widespread protests against inequality. 2019. in october, 20 2078 per cent of chileans voted in favor of a new constitution to replace one from 1980. the final version of the document was written by especially elected assembly and presented in july in shrines. gender equality, indigenous whites and environmental protections. recent polling has indicated most people will rejected, but about 16 percent are undecided. the referendum comes in public disapproval of prison, gabrielle borage, spiraling inflation, and a rise in violent crime. a latin america is elissia newman has more from riley'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 an a deal and it, it will, if a pro, the constitution would spell a major shift for this country, which has one of it's not the most to pre 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, and 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 16th, 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 would become one woman. we are leaving a global crisis in which nature is demanding help. it's an unprecedented environmental crisis, and in that sense, without a doubt to listen, you got to cushion will become a model for because on the work, a borders are of every age and social class. would not everyone is happy with the draft policy to ship. we're reject rally right now. there are only a few 100 people here as opposed to the 10s of thousands at the approve rally. but the numbers may not really paint the right picture. of at least according to the poles, would say that more than 50 percent of chile into are likely to vote against the new constitution. because many people fear that it is rather a vague and open to interpretation with this, you know,

now that you know, i'm going to vote because i think the disco solution divides. it separates us. i think we need to write a new, better one. but either way, for the 1st time in decades, it voting will be mandatory here in chile, which means that there will be millions of young people never or will have to weigh in on the new constitution. so right now, it is impossible to really say what is going to happen on sunday when billions goes the poll, mexico's president has delivered his worth fee to the union address andras' money. lopez over door is still popular, even though inflation is a 21 year high. is also an increase in drug related violence and plans to bring the national guard under army control. manual revenue has more from mexico city, mexican president and manuel lopez over there. the delivered his 4th state of the nation address, eager to town more than a dozen policy advances,

everything from improved access to health care and education, to job creation, and even reducing violence nationwide. now, despite worsening inflation in the country, a sluggish economy, and what many a perceived to be in an inadequate response to the pandemic. the president still enjoys an approval rating of about 60 percent. lot of that has to do with an ongoing rhetoric that he's maintained since the beginning of his presidency, that his government is one that is trying to improve the livelihoods of the poorest citizens of the country. take a listen. they may, he yet not mean legal. mexico is no longer dominated by an oligarchy. instead, there now exists a democratic government whose priorities the poor, corruption is not tolerated, nor is there impunity for anybody. in one place that president lopez over the board has lost ground is on the question of violence. the president strategy to pacify the country has been one that includes more boots on the.
