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's believed to be a brazilian in support of the far right. one of the meetings station without confirmation says that he had swastika ah, in cartoon in his arm, a, he's also a like many, far why websites, good something goal that they monia evil culmination 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 regalia, gun against her head. and thus, the shocked imaginings like you saw huge that on my 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. leo harding al jazeera in 2007. christina fernandez, takesha became the country's 1st elected female president, taking over from a husband, nestor coach, no jailed the post until 2015. several corruption scandals broke during her 2 terms as president and triggered calls for her to step down, couched as face judges from a time in office including fraud, corruption, and treason, a spring at ignacio porthos who is a political analyst and a former editor at the point of service harold, he joins us now. live via zoom from one us are as good to have you with us ignacio

. what are your thoughts on this incident? those will a very sense political week in argentina 1st, when the prosecutor asking for 12 years in jail on a lifetime ban on holding officer christopher christina kitchener. this created massive pro just outside her residency in one of the city. and for a week there were people surrounding her apartment is supporters of her. and there were clashes with the police which is controlled by and they are positioning the cd . and yesterday night where we had this, this shooting fail shooting by our man from which we're. ready trying to understand he is profile and it's been neg, i total commotion. fraudulent politics is not a country that is used to this kind of political violence. assassination attempts on political figures have not been seen since the 70s are me that they end of a tater ship in 1083. so this is a shocking event for agents and politics. it also, it also comes at a time when the country is increasingly politically polarized doesn't yes,

we have been at least a bit of the station in jones. i bought in many other places in the world at emergency. now the government has been very polarizing when you can see the reactions to any event that how the country sees one way on the other and the other way, but they don't even agree on the facts of what's happening. there's little communication sometimes between the sides and these kinds of events. even you've got to see people, a social network thing saying because we fake it's not possible. and while other people say this is obviously an attempt against the hero of our democracy. so you can see it constantly in society orientation. how might this incident play out electrically? while there's just sent, it's really part of that kind of speculation. but what would you say about the

election of next year next year? we have presidential election. is that so part of the opposition had the advantage because argentina is in the middle of i'm going to be crisis, which the korean government has not been able to do much about in the last 3 years . ready the pain, promising and improvements from the runs like in the past, so on the prices, but it has shown very little so far as inflation has jumped. it's expected to be close to 100 percent by the end of the year. and so the economy is not favoring the government at the moment in the midterm, if you'd already lost by stronger. imagine that, and ben baron isn't that burning parties used to lose so that be able to have the advantage before this event. now what kind of thing is triggered by being completely unexpected blacks? one kind of thing is perhaps a little too early. just like a late. as you said, political violence has become a red thing in arch and tina. how now do the countries politicians manage risk

rides where we will probably see heights and security in campaign rallies? it's not something that people worried about. a large athena. you usually see politicians hugging people in the streets with maybe one or 2 guys near their sides, protecting their flags, but not, no worries about shootings. it's, it's rare sanitize. have you ever really used are the best one find, but it's very rare to see worries about this kind of thing in argentina. it's not, it's 2nd to what we haven't seen political servicing us as the nature of, of such high profile and for a long time. so maybe this will change the perception of security in politics, especially at the time in which there's a lot discontent in the street. and in which the idea people are talking. politicians good become a possibility in people's mind as it was in the minds of apartment time quality. something just also wondering the last economic crisis where there was some fear

about attacks and politicians. maybe this comes again because there were this time we actually saw an attack on the one the perhaps the most high proposition, the country could talk to you last year. many effects due to being with a sickness. you put us there and brought us out us. but a, do you the you and the still clear watchdog says that 2 of its inspectors will stay up. these opera shear plant permanently. an i. e. a team arrived at the facility in southern ukraine after a journey across the front lines on thursday. expect to say if they're concerned about the physical integrity of the plant, the nuclear power generating facility is controlled by russia, but manned by ukrainian staff. keven. moscow had accused each other of endangering the plant with military strikes, sued in a eula. since mid july, the ukrainian armed forces using western weapons have been regularly attacking the

infrastructure of separation nuclear power plant. you've created a real threats of a nuclear catastrophe in europe. according to international law. this is nothing but nuclear terrorism. i responsibly state that we do not have any heavy weapons on the territory of the nuclear power plant and in the surrounding areas. i hope that the commission will be able to see that themself, cleaners on bill of sale. a dollars show 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. a, despite the fact that we talked about. it was mr. grossi during our meeting, and it was the key security point of our agreements. it was outlined clearly, demilitarization and full control by our nuclear workers, clinical and other buddy. let's go live a cave. i'll just here as gabriel elizondo is that for escape. we have a president landscape that talking about the i a e, a. inspectors visit to this after year plot. what exactly did he mean that

in a word disappointment? i think a zalinski and a wider government here in, in ukraine is signaling that they are not happy with how this visit has gone so far by the i a officials. and they point to a couple things. number one, they say that the main person that we saw in the video, a person in a suit that seemed to be guiding the i 8 teams through their tour of the nuclear facility, is identified as an advisor, a russian advisor to rushes nuclear agency and ukraine it basically says, this is exactly what we didn't want because they feel that this has been a very stage to visit, that russia has staged it to their advantage. and they said it should be a, in a perfect world, if you will. it should be a ukrainian, or nuclear scientists and officials that should be there,

but they obviously can't because it's controlled by russia. ukraine also very disappointed, especially zalinski with the fact that it does now appear that no foreign journalists and no ukrainian journals were permitted to accompany the i 18 during their visit. ah, russia only allowed russia friendly media a to be there, which is sorta limits the total scope of information that you can get out of this visit, of course. so in a word that keith is disappointed with this, and we expect to hear more though, ah, in the coming hours are from rafael grossi, the director general of the i. e. he's expected to give a press conference in vienna and about 5 and a half hours from now or so. and this will be the 1st time that we really hear from him. we think about what he really saw there and what his opinions are and where we plan to go from here at the bottom line is that russia is also try to, to,

to move the, the chains if you will. and they're basically saying, you know, the i a was here, they've been able to inspect the site. that's what everybody wanted. and let's wait to hear with the i, e, i. e, a has to say about this, but clearly there's definitely us on both sides. an attempt here to sort of frame the debate and frame the situation to their advantage out there as gabriel, as on the reporting live from keith, many thanks to deed gave a quarter myanmar has sentenced, ousted leader on sans to cheat a 3 years jail. for electoral fraud in 2020 the military rulers, so that they found evidence of at least 11000000 cases of voter fraud in the election. the su, cheapest, sue cheese party, won independent observers. didn't find any major irregularities. she's already been jailed for 17 years on separate charges including corruption. meanwhile, man monster hunter has also jailed britain's former ambassador to the country for

a year of a visa breach. vicky bowman was arrested a week ago. a husband who's a prominent artist, an activist, was also sentenced to a year for helping her breach immigration rules out there as tardy. chang is following developments from bangkok. this is something of a surprise. we had been told when vicki bowman and i've been, were arrested last week, there would be a hearing on the 6th of september. the fact that it has come through so quickly with a hearing and saying prison, the sentence handed down already is again, i think it's taken some people slightly back. in addition to which this really is just as minor infringement of the conditions of her visa, which said that she had to remain in her residence. in san chung, in a suburb of young gone the apparently she spent much of the last year living in shan state. but i think the fact that she was such a high profile person that, that she had been the british ambassador in yan gone during a period when

a previous military genta had been in charge, had marked her out friends of hers, had expressed concerns in the past that they were concerned, she might become a porn in the disorder, increasingly turbulent, political environment within me. emma. and we've also seen the british government in the past week, taking more action against companies related to me on mars military rulers. so there may be a certain element of tit for tat in this. it was a nissan from out 0 still come on. the program will speak to farmers in sudan, west flooding is raising. she is a further food insecurity. india commissions. it's 1st domestic aircraft carrier becoming one of the few nations in the world with a home built warship at his sport irradiance hopefulness of past present. i think getting a closer look at one of the sports most prized possessions. ah,

u. s. president joe biden has lost a scathing attack on his predecessor, donald trump, and the republicans who support him by the said, the trump and his bacchus pose a threat to the very foundations of the united states. our white house correspondent, kimberly how could reports? oh, 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. i've come to this place where it all began to speak as plainly as i can to the nation about the threats we face 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, a republican followers semi fascists,

donald trump and the magar republicans represented extremism that threatened the very foundations of our republic, was 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. by dint 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 mean 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 and politicized department of justice launched, arrayed on the home of his top political rival. donald trump,

that is an assault on democracy. republicans also accused bitin of miss handling the economy at 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 or a day to the round 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 not st sharpening his attacks on for president trump. president bivens approval ratings have been rising. it's momentum, he hopes will help his democratic party retain control of congress come voting day in november. and kimberly's with us now live or kimberly the morning out the night

before. what's the nation saying this morning? having reflected upon the president's watch last night? well, not surprisingly, democrats seemed really happy with this speech. they believe that the president called out forcefully, what they believe should have been called out a long time ago, that this was the president's moment that it was about time for him to go in the office. they believe this is the right tactic to allow them to retain control of the u. s. congress for another 2 years. and to continue jo biden's legislative agenda. but not surprisingly, republicans are live and they say that this was a taxpayer funded event, that this was not supposed to be political. the white house promised that it wouldn't be political, but this essentially was a campaign speech funded by the us taxpayer. and the republicans are also saying that this neglected to mention some of the big issues that are important to americans, whether they are democrats or republicans,

and that is inflation. that is the fact that this economy in the united states is still sputtering as a result of coven 19. so there's a real division and the one criticism that republicans are also making is that joe biden did make a campaign promised that he would come in to unite a very divided america. but it appears that division is only further entrenched, a bit of all, but they would say that going on here. but as you said, you report the president's approval ratings while not as low as they were still pretty dismal. a republican criticisms of him, sir? well, you know, the, the criticism that the president has used of the venue, if you will, for political purposes, is certainly one that is fair. in fact, this is a criticism that was leveled against donald trump is predecessor as well. what the president joe biden is being criticized for is the fact that positioned behind him

were us marines. the military is never supposed to be political, and yet they were utilized, and that is being criticized on both the left and the right. but what joe biden believes is that this is a vulnerability this extreme isn't that does exist, or this pension for political violence with in the right. and that's a vulnerability that he is seizing upon to try and win the congressional mid term elections. and so that is what he is going to campaign on for the next 8 weeks. and so this is a carefully coordinated calculated strategy. republicans want to talk about the economy because they believe that that is the weakness of the precedent. so we've seen now that the battle lines of essentially been drawn, it's going to be up to the voters to decide as we kick into this final 8 weeks, is the campaign season kickoff this weekend with the labor day weekend. we're going to be hearing a lot on these themes in the coming days and weeks. and again,

it's going to be a long hall because hurting day is not until november. whitehouse corresponded kimberly hallett live in washington. kimberly many facts. at least 28 people, including a high profile cleric, had been killed in a blast in afghanistan. it happened in historic moscow. the western city of hot witnesses say that butcher brockman, i'm sorry. and his entourage were on their way to the mosque. dozens of people were injured in the attack. like a sons, southern sinned province is bracing for more floods due to surging rivers in the north of the country. already inundated by weeks of monsoon reigns some areas. once again at risk. i'll to 0. same bas robbie reports now from the ha, where people are trying to say that town 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. mary 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 put into that. there's 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. why does it look 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 peep or the ominous rising water at their doorstep. zane basra b o jazeera mer district send the packet spun. torrential, rain and floods in saddam have destroyed tens of thousands of acres of land raising t as further food insecurity more than 100 people have died. thousands of homes have been destroyed. i'll just hearers him. morgan reports from 0. our de la hums has spent the last 4 months pending to his farms hoping to profit from his harvests, but to intervention, rains and floods hate to dance to 0 state. much of his land was submerged, destroying the crop house in the lab. it's ross, as soon as i had we have about 1300 acres there were formed the season. the reins and floods have covered about $300.00 acres. all what is completely destroyed is a complete disaster. some are trying to train the water, but as a farmer,

from the senate work where she works. not very far from here. she rise by car. she's been coming out of the car and then walking a bit around. supporters that had been gathering here in the past 11 days. this is in the context of a trial she's facing. so they, they came here to show their support and it was a very messy situation all these days. i think the same thing happened this thursday in this message place, and suddenly a month came very close to her, all the pulled a gun and actually triggered the bullet. didn't didn't come out. but the authorities say that there were 5 bullets in that gun. so it was a very, very close call. there are questions around the security of the vice president and why this took place and why her security didn't prevent this. but it was very hard in this, in this context, i'm actually in a position, so i'm not, i'm not accustomed to this type of violence event. it's not something that's usually happening here. and they are used to being able to, to get inside

a crowd like the one that was gathering here on thursday evening. but tell me, or the president declared a national holiday following the attempt on the vice president lives back to some might seem a little bizarre. what was his reasoning? well, there are, there are a few questions around that. it was very late in the evening when he did that around midday. i'm sorry about the, at the end of the evening, you know, in the night so many people are ready to sleep on need to know that they woke up and realized that they didn't have to go to work on any create a bit of confusion. but he did it because he will. he said that he wanted the argentines had the chance to come together and reject these attempt at the vice president's life. and what we will see today later at meet the isa is a big demonstration in central one. aside in support of christina, fernandez,

the kitchen of these base demonstration has been called by the govern government political party that is currently empowered. they say they, they want the people to support their vice president. and we'll say, how many people go there to, to say that they reject these attempts of her life. italy of its talk to you many thanks de natalia. of course, the reporting live from boy saw this extinction rebellion activists saw tour of the british house of commons broke off the stage. a protest using super glue to bind themselves together around the speakers. chair. parliament is not currently sitting. 3 of the protest as have been booked on an official tour of parliament, the fall launching their action, their protesting of climate change, and the energy crisis. of pro 5 we contest voting in the u. k. conservative party leadership race will close on friday evening. the window will become the next

u. k. prime minister replacing boris johnson. both contenders of tried to prove themselves as the true air to former prime minister margaret thatcher. richie sooner could live trust, have pledged tax cuts and promised crackdowns on labor unions. and with workers strikes on the rise at a cost of living crisis funded to draw comparisons to fetch us rise to power in 1979. leon muradi is a former u. k. cabinet minister aid of the senior political adviser. he joins us now via zoom from london goods heavy with us. so one of those 2 candidates is pretty much a shoe in our bay. or indeed at least trust is being spoken about as the favor. and the betting folk in westminster will be putting their money on her to be announced prime minister on, on monday. but who knows, there is still attempting to play for i think that the polls may well not be as, as, as, as, as far apart as people are anticipating. so lots to play for. still, neither candidate bo can hold a candle to margaret thatcher, can them?

and i think the only fair comparison we can made is that the country faces a similar crisis is the one that margaret thatcher did when she came to pal. there is a lot of similarities between what we're seeing now, both economically and socially in the day. but we also saw during certainly the beginning of market at this time as prime minister and both candidates on the campaign trail have been trying to evoke the memory of margaret thatcher. particularly truss not just on this campaign trail, but also for a couple of years prior to this, you know, taking pictures that margaret thatcher may well have been herself and, and looking at the imagery around margaret thatcher and trying to replicate that for herself. so i think there is an idea to revise, perhaps not only with policies, but also her style of governing bad idea of strength and the iron lady. and i think that's going to be a key theme of, of this trust is premiership. if she gets that,

do you think that any conservative party members are the people who will be electing the next leader actually see either candidate in the the mirror of margaret thatcher. image is the what i was looking for. so yes, no, no, i don't, i'm, i'm not, i'm not convinced that necessarily conservative party members are looking for the, at the market. but i think what they are looking for is someone who can perhaps evoke that idea of british strengths. you know, that idea of britain being a leader in the global, in the global game, as indeed margaret thatcher was also economically that idea of having a low tax state and you know, a smaller state, less interfering in people's lives. i think that's what they're going to be looking for and neither of these kind of necessarily have that grab a task that you did have and let's not forget, she was prime minister for a long time. and that bill over over the, over the decade she was, she was in power. but i do think that some of the conservative party members see

margaret that just re rose tinted glasses and maybe don't remember some of the more difficult times of her premier ship. and i do think that as least trust or she's not getting to governing. they'll drop the fact to attribute act and have to face the challenges by having fun. but, you know, given the miriam problems of the country faces right now, whoever wins is going to have to have some pretty innovative policies to come up with some solutions there on a pretty much a hiding so nothing on them. it who'd want the job right now? well, clearly i think that there is a lot of difficulty in politics right now that both lives trust in which you do not have been angling for this job for quite some time. and i think they will relish opportunity to, to be in number 10 downing street. but as you mentioned, it isn't an easy time. we are recovering from the aftermath of the pandemic. as many other countries are, we've got stagnation in the economy for a myriad of reasons. including bricks,

including the pandemic. and i think that they have the challenge that actually helped people do the very basic things like being able to pay for their energy bills, being able to pay for food, all of which is rising due to due to the situation in ukraine right now. so it isn't an easy time to be prime minister, but i think they got to use until the next general election, whoever it is. and their task now is going to be to lay out a positive vision for brit from future that the electric bind to that they can then use is a platform coming into that next general election. and if they can do that, but i think they'll find themselves having a slightly more enjoyable time behind the famous black dog. but if they, if they struggle, if they are not able to contain some of the big challenges, then it could be a pretty rough couple of years. we shall find out who has been anointed or perhaps handed the poison chalice very soon. lay on good. really good. talk to you many. thanks. dave, liam at raleigh. that in like german ally, lufthansa has cancelled 800 flights as its pilot stage
