into the coal consensus, people across the country informed opinions we will say more of these events. what is happening is that climate change it to making them work in depth analysis of live days, global headlines drug. he is credited by some way where they were storing italy's credibility this critics would say he couldn't play the part of a politician. what do you think went wrong inside story on al jazeera? which site is winning chaos or control guy? what does the new forever proxy war mean for america and nato? as long as americans keep consuming prices are gonna keep going up. why didn't joe biden, the inflation comic? how did we get so much raw? the quizzical look us politics, the bottom line. the u. s. how speaker is in armenia as a truce holds in the fighting with azerbaijan. ah

. busy hello, i'm adrian for again. this is al jazeera alive from. also coming up. don't. don't, don't. the u. s. president warner's russia against using nuclear weapons in response to ukraine's counter offensive. as world leaders begin to arrive for the queen's funeral, thousands continued to brave. the cold and the long cue to pay their respects. plus what you see behind me a flower is in a very unlikely place. coming up, i'll tell you about a wonder of nature in the fmla. the was tries. desert. ah . near us how speak it. nancy pelosi is in all media's capital, yet i'm just days off to an outbreak of fighting with neighboring azerbaijan. the 2 sides have been in conflict for decades over the disputed region of no go,

no color back. policies traveled with a delegation that includes california congress woman jackie spire, who's of our media to cent. let's go live to yet of an i'll 0, it's tony chang. is there tony? what is nancy pelosi doing that? what is she expected to say? but she, sir, meeting the speaker of the parliament a little later this morning. earlier today at about 730 local time, she went to pay her respects the memorial to the armenian genocide adjuster on one of the hills, just on the edge of your van. she's going to be speaking to the speaker, making some public statements yesterday or she arrived. she tweeted that she was here to show her support for armenia for their further democratic progression. and that of the caucuses generally said she was here to recognise the armenian genocide and also to push on for american involvement in peace. a particularly in that

conflict in the corner. caraballo. as you mentioned, tourney. what does this visit say about where the us sees the blame for the recent outbreak of fighting? i think that's interesting. i don't think she'll be making any explicit statements in what we've seen over the last couple days in the accusations, going from both sides, that the other side was responsible. i don't think the united states is going to weigh in. but i think the fact that she's here makes a very clear statement. also, the other day we saw a diplomats taken out by the armenian chief of staff. and it was interesting to watch the us ambassador, who almost led the chief of staff it with a very leading question to explain how as the by johnny troops had come over the board. and i think the fact that nancy pelosi is here so soon after this conflict suggest that the u. s. is probably more supportive of this side of the argument.

but i think also it indicates that the united states is prepared to step back in and try and take a larger role in the piece process. we've seen the armenians expressing their dissatisfaction with the peace process as it exists at the moment. of course, russia did negotiate, the currency foreigner has held for a couple of days. but i think armenia feels that russia, at this stage isn't really in a particularly strong position itself. it's not able to offer the security guarantees they need when they, when they're going to the negotiating table with as a bizarre, i think the fact the americans are prepared to back them could be very useful for them. and also gives the americans a chance and to get back into this region with a little more leverage out there as tourney, chang reporting live there from our medias. capital. the other van in azerbaijan, people have returned to the 1st village, rebuilt since the 2020 war with armenia, despite a return to violence in recent days, they say they're determined to stay and rebuild their lives. char stratford reports

now from a gully in azerbaijan. these airy graves have been neglected for more than 30 years. the village was destroyed in fighting in the early 19 nineties when the armenian army occupied this area. 2 years ago, the army, the military was forced out in a 6 week war that claimed 6500 lives and new village has been built so many a series return. hello. the thought built in the statue you see represents pasent high for us. we hope we can solve this problem without fighting but there are fears that a bright jaw peace may be unraveling. both sides blame each other for a recent upsurge in fighting that killed more than $200.00 soldiers. this village is the 1st village in this area have been rebuilt, since the as airy military took back control of this area in 2020,

after what they say was 30 years of armenian occupation. and the people coming back to live here, say that despite the recent escalation or violence, some of which happened close to here. they are determined to stay the silly move of family, a, one of almost 70 families who moved back so far. fernandez cries, she listened to her daughter. describe what happened when they fled 29 years ago. she says, she won't let her daughter's childhood be destroyed like hers was. analog gamma didn't allow our children have to be here. we have to bring in that pierre because we run this land back with the blood of our soldiers. the government built village has shops a school and a workshop where women get paid to make medical clothing and masks. so yes, it's availa. it feels incredible to be back. the last 30 years of our life was bad

. we lived in camps and often on the streets. las flags fly over the grave of a soldier above the village. there is no agreement on a peaceful solution to the conflict of an ago. no, kara back, only hope that the killing will finally stop char stratford al jazeera, a gully as a by john or the contested nagondo color back region is at the heart of a years long standoff between the neighbors. it's internationally recognized as part of as a by john, but 95 percent of the population is ethnic armenian conflict 1st broke out in 1988 when it was on the soviet rule. nagondo color back declared independence and tried to unite with armenia as the soviet union collapsed at escalated into outright war . when the fighting ended in 1994 armenian forces controlled the area and other nearby districts. full scale war started again in 2020,

after 6 weeks of fighting as a by john regained much of the territory. a russian peacekeeping force was deployed to enforced the cease fire. but fighting still breaks out periodically. matthew browsers, a former mediator in the not gonna cut back conflict on a former american ambassador to as my john, he's in istanbul and georgia snout live. good to have you with us, matthew. what is nancy? pelosi doing there, she helping or hindering the situation. adrian, thanks so much for having you with you. well, you know, it depends on your perspective. i mean, if you're an armenian american, she's there helping because her they are meaning american community by and large agrees with her, the opposition, political opposition, and armenia, which is that the ceasefire sort of agreement signed by prime minister pushing yon should be revised that armina should back out of it and should not agree for armenian troops to leave the corner car park. i mean, those that are remaining there until azerbaijan agrees to the possibility of changing legal status of car bach to either independence or,

or part of armenia. ah, the answer, my johnny side says that's not fair. ah, the possibility of a negotiated settlement of the conflict that would lead to the a change in the legal status of, of neuronal quarterback had been in theory agreed by the leadership of armenian azerbaijan. but that's off the table after the 2nd, the governor, parabolic war in which azerbaijan mail. so if you get it from the azerbaijani respect, if it's very unhelpful from us perspective, the also supposed to be an objective mediator and, and not choose either side. i wanted to walk, well, what is it to do with with the us and us policies? is policies visit officially sanctioned by the, by a ministration or is, is it more to do with the optics here? it's, it's, it's designed for domestic audience. yeah, i think it's overwhelmingly about the domestic audience. i mean, of course, remember that in november we have these midterm, our congressional or parliament reelections, which will really have a huge impact on determining the,

the future political orientation of united states. and even though the, the future of joe biden, the, the biden administration, and secretary of state blinking, they very much it, based on my analysis. want to try to continue the u. s. role as an objective mediator and saw secretary blank and has been on the phone many times with president ally of us by john and with counterparts in armenia. so i think maybe what secretary are what a speaker pelosi is doing is similar to her trip to taiwan. a few weeks ago where the, the biden ministration was not happy with her going to, to one side of a conflict, thinking that that would raise tensions. but what the heck she, she's number 3 in line for the, you know, apple for the presidency or number 2 after the vice president. should god forbid the u. s. president become incapacitated. she's underscoring that the legislative branch is an independent branch of the united states government. so her presence in yerevan really doesn't say anything about the, the president of the united states take on the conflict it's, it's her independent view. matthew, as we said, we, you are

a former mediator in the know gonna come about conflict. what, what's your view on this latest flare up in violence? i think 1st of all it's, you know, it's almost meaningless to, to try to define who shot 1st. because both sides have been skirmishing for months, along the international border between azerbaijan and armenia, which, which needs to be defined or demarcated, and which the prime minister of armenia and the president of azerbaijan have pledged to do. they have also pledged, ah, to, to negotiate a full peace treaty, which would, i think put to put to bed forever. the question of whether in a corner car box legal status is going to change. and so a prime minister pushing yawns, political opponents, the former regime, if you will. they want to revise that agreement, as i said, they don't want the status of nicole nor carbonic to be prevented from changing. so they have an incentive in keeping the conflict going on, but there are also people on the us, or by johnny side who are quite impatient with what they view as armine as failure to implement the various agreements that came after the, the 2nd,

the gunner carrabas war, one of them being the most important one, being that us or by john and armenia would cooperate to build infrastructure projects, especially roads that could, ah, link azerbaijan with armenia and turkey with armenia and, and get on with the integration of our meaning into the regional economy, those opponents of prime minister pushing young don't want that to happen. and to me that's to the detriment of our media and the people of our media who need jobs. they need investment than he regional economic cooperation or was, could still tear matthew. betty, thanks to you for being with us again. matthew brice of that, in a stumble, ukraine's president says that there is evidence of widespread torture as more body is found in the mass burial site of the countries east. the city of ism was reclaimed from brushing forces last week. the czech republic, which holds the e u presidency, is calling for an international war crimes tribunal to be established. the head of the pro russian administration, which retreated from is him as accused ukraine of staging atrocities. who pro

rational forces in the eastern city of damascus say that at least 4 people have been killed by shilling. the mayor of the city, which is under russian control, says that there were attacks in the central part part of the don't ask. one of the made electricity lines at the zap parachia nuclear plant in. so the new crane has been reconnected. the 6th nuclear reactors of the facility had been shut down, but the fuel in them still needs cooling to avoid a meltdown. u. s. president joe biden has warned wash up against using chemical or nuclear weapons in ukraine. he was speaking of the cbs 60 minutes program. one of your putin is becoming embarrassed and pushed into a corner. and i wonder mister president, what you would say to him if he is considering using chemical or tactical nuclear weapons, don't, don't, don't. who achieve the face war on like anything since war 2.

and the consequences of that would be what about with the u. s. response b. you think i will tell you if i knew exactly where to with the course, i'm not going to tell you will be consequential. they'll become more of a prior in the world than they ever have been independent of the extent of what they do determine what response would occur or from out 0 chaper tansy is in washington dc. everything we've heard from the us administration and intelligence officials has been consistent over the last several months that the u. s. a seen absolutely no evidence that russia is preparing for a tactical nuclear attack in u crane. it has no preparations. it doesn't even feel, and it's plausible, the vladimir putin would make such a move in the current circumstances. in fact, there was some reporting in the new york times that the administration officials felt that far from being corner there are plenty of conventional weapons and tactics far more brutal. the boot patient hasn't used yet,

so there is not feeling that he's in a corner state. there is a debate about what would potentially make russia use is nuclear arsenal. william burns, in april. the ca, director said it was if russia felton was under the extra extra central threat. he gave the example of nato militarily getting involved on the ground all mass in ukraine. about something that the, the u. s. is trying to avoid giving the perception of, to russia, that this is now just simply an all out proxy war between the u. s. and nato and, and russia. and that's one of the reasons why joe biden is refusing to gives lensky the long range missiles he keeps asking for which could potentially be used against russia. that according to another reporting and sources, is what joe byte fills could be potentially a red line where russia would suddenly fail, waits. this is now an extra central threat. the heads of the state security

each other, the fighting which broke out on wednesday. oh, in london, thousands of people continue to queue on the last day they have to pay their respects to the queen. blind to westminster hall is more than 6 kilometers long, and some people are facing weights of 13 hours or bid won't be us president joe biden as lived in london for the funeral of quivers up the 2nd. he's one of many world leaders and foreign dignitaries who are in the u. k. in order to attend the queen's funeral on monday. let's take your lives now to london. joe hope is with the people waiting in line that pay their respects the queen that start jonah with what simply become known as the que. how far back does it stretch that behind you?

the queue. yes, it continues unabated this morning. sunday morning. the temperature around 10 degrees, a pretty way weary faces in the queue after what has been a very cold night. blu blankets clearly and evidence handed out by marshal's office, some protection from the cold and a bit of a spring in this step. but this point, of course, as they come within sight of the palace of westminster and westminster hole, but yes, as you say, went into the final 24 hours of the queue and what an extraordinary phenomenon it has become over the last few days. for many, the defining moments of the morning period for the queen ahead of the state funeral . on monday, visible from space this q along it's 8 kilometers a times long route, all the way back to southern park in satellite imagery, all nationalities, all ages in the queue. civilian royalty, in fact making an appearance in this que david beckett over the weekend weekend

football. taking his place in the queue, standing and waiting 13 hours he did before he got to see the queens, casket and acknowledged by the royal family, the king and the prince. of wales prince william made an appearance unexpectedly on lambeth bridge on saturday afternoon to thank people in the queue. people have taken ill at times during this extreme fleet of endurance and being well cared for by medical teams along the route. one man was arrested as he to rush the coffin of the queen and touch it. and indeed, as we speak, the queue, the queue continuing on its final journey from here, perhaps an hour hour and a half. these people now have to wait till they get to westminster whole a q formed for the q when they tried to close it on friday, but the q one out. and these, as i say, it's final hours and jonah to tell us what we can expect of over the coming hours. we're seeing a, i know that you're standing opposite the on the banks of the terms to the,

the price of westminster wishing pictures. here of a various dignitaries are coming to pay their respects to the queen in westminster hall as they arrive for her funeral. on monday, a flurry of arrivals going on all weekend that will continue throughout sunday. as you say, dignitaries arriving, representing most of the worlds, 195 countries. so that includes president prime minister vehicles royalty from europe, asia, and the middle east as well. joe biden, the u. s. president will the soft nude with his wife jill, take their opportunity to visit the queen's fulton in westminster hole. there were by that's taking place with the prime minister among some of the world leaders at banding street later. and buckingham palace is released details about the funeral, of course, taking place on monday. at 11 am british time 10 g m t. that will be a service in westminster abbey, given by the dean of the abbey. and

a sermon delivered by the archbishop of canterbury. it'll end of the round noon with the sounding of the last post, a 2 minutes silence, a rendition of the national anthem, and a lament played by the queen's personal quite out 0 as joan, a whole reporting life from central london jonah for the moment that he thinks when this person prepares for its 1st state funeral in more than 70 years, some are concerned about the effects of other vital services. monday's public holiday is seeing already delayed health appointments, canceled and many private funerals that have to be postponed. i'll just say harry forces reports. britton's national health service is experiencing it's longest waiting times on record of tests, treatments put on hold through the pandemic work their way through the system. on monday, thousands of appointments have been postponed for the public holiday of the queen's funeral. i had an appointment canceled on monday, so i came up today and i think that's fine. i'm glad that they were able to see me

a different time quickly. if i was a cancellation, i'll be really, really upset. i do understand why. because everyone's respect to the queen. i don't know what else i've just had my blood done because i didn't think that bad monday. i think it's very unfortunate that happened in emergency treatments and urgent procedures will still go ahead as planned. that reduced staffing means many other appointments will be fit family. doctor appointments will also suffer with many medical centers shut for the day. over me as anxious is obliged to go by the national holidays at the same time. we have to look after our patients, so we are sort of stuck in the middle where we have to both respect the public opinion as well as the government opinion for example. and so i think, you know, it's probably a very difficult situation that the interest is in at the moment. and is the country prepares for the queen's funeral, others being put on hold. funeral,

director frances l. cook has seen one plan ceremony on monday. postpone the fear would be overshadowed and that people might not come. she says she said of other families, especially those who booked commissions, having funerals cancelled against their wishes. the feeling is that, you know, if it's their mom, this died. their mom is more important and, and the queen, however much they loved the queen. and because of the long u mental grief around they sort of taken away some of the sort of those how they feel they can grieve for an event on this scale. one day of national polls were widely be seen as appropriate. but for those who've been negotiating the delays and backlogs of a cobit health service that one day could have been a much price de surgery or cancer treatment. at the very least, it's a reminder that the multiple problems this government faces will remain after the morning period ends. and they'll need to be dealt with hurry for that. i'll just for london. on the other side of the world in japan of a 4000000 people have been told to evacuate ahead of the arrival of typhoon. none

more organized, so it pays the greater restore our residence because our ground is already soaked, particularly to night. you have the danger of landslides due to the amount of rain that is expected. a wonder of nature is blooming in chiles at a common desert. the driest place on earth, plants and flowers have emerged off to this year's wind to rain. the so called flowering desert occurs every 5 to 7 years. attracting, local and foreign visitors or zeros. lucio newman reports now from copy apo in northern chile. this is the at the camera desert, the driest and most barren in the world, except right now for the 1st time in 5 years it's rained and so like sleeping beauty, these flowers are awakening. and they are starting to bloom a phenomenon that attracts tourists from all over chilly and the world. you could have a boy in fair the input of the b believe. yeah,

it's unpredictable. in the last 40 years there have been 13 of an either. if c problems exist in a few other, does it like in southern california? i don't know. the baton might be up to comma those does it are inhabited and already have visitation. they've begun to play the seeds to produce these flowers and plants can lay dormant for a decade or more. the iron climate and the cold temperatures at night keep them from rotting. but what's also extraordinary is that for just a very few short months, a mini ecosystem emerges in this normally inhospitable to rain. first, the plants and the flowers attract the insects there, followed by birds, and then mammals and even bigger mammals are going mika, nature, lover, alexis could nickel is familiar with these plants apply. yeah, it will. empathy, how much water you fall meant that this plan is cold turkey water and it's green leaves emerge when it rains in the air and its leaves are eatable, they taste good,

even though they're a bit salah, the going arcos, eat them because i have time water from the leaves is one this my water here. as you know, nasa, scientists often use the at the comma deserts, rocky terrain to simulate planet mars. but extreme weather patterns are taking their toll. this winter, it actually snowed in the arid elk valley. not so far south from here, while for the north, in the, at the comma, there were mud slides. it's spring now in south america. but this desert loom is emerging much more slowly than in the past. because rain is becoming more and more irregular. leading many to wonder if all this is destined to disappear as another casualty of climate change. to see in human al jazeera copy up all chilly. ah.
