right. it'll be in the high side. the moment this, this puzzle gordon is tanveer most of the re being peninsula, levant iran right up through turkey towards the south northern caucasus. it's pretty warm, but nothing of the sky with except for this thing here. this is coming through knocking attempts is down anchor 28 down to 22. and you think that wind into egypt and east and libya would cool things down, but it doesn't to the levant. these temperatures, 13 jerusalem 29 by root, are a long way up on what they should be. they don't change very much next day or so. where's these temperatures do come down black sea through our media and georgia in particular? but honestly, that probably will turn to africa that the rains we've been watching here. they've done nothing for somali and not much for kenya. they are concentrating further west, certainly nigeria. but i think the next day or so as a line here from san marly down through central republic to both congo republics, which will be pretty wet to be honest. south of all this,

not much talk about rain wise, but temperatures are on the high side. something, but swan is looking pretty hot to with sponsored by cattle. they weighs in these turbulent times, up front returns for a new season. join me, mark them on hill as we take on the big issues. they are literally being turned back. how is this not a contravention of international law? this is exactly the place for us to interrogate people about the issue big matter from the state of democracy around the world to the struggles faced by the under represented. those voices have to be brought to the table. they have the matter. we have to start to talk about the see here. we will challenge the conventional wisdom upfront on al jazeera lou. ah,

hello again. you're watching. i just hit our reminder of our top stories. this out, the russian defense ministry says it's withdrawn it's truth from the town of lyman in the done yet so region to avoid being surrounded by ukrainian forces. climate served as the logistics and transport hub for russian forces. the state of emergency has been declared in burkina faso a day after the countries the 2nd military coup in 8 months. on saturday. qu supporters set fire to the french embassy in the capitol. they accused the french military of sheltering, ousted president on, read the me but, but france denies that at least a 129 people have been killed in a stampede at a football match in indonesia. supports us from the losing side, invaded the pitch, and security responded with t a guest. lee said most of the victims died while trying to flee for the exit.

president joker with dodo has ordered a safety review of football games of worn stampedes. let's talk now to justice luck. santa he is an indonesian football analyst and joins us from toronto. thanks very much for being with us. it's pretty clear from those. i think those pictures that the police really didn't have a handle on any of this white. why is that, why, why when the police better prepared for this given unfortunately, the history of violence around football in indonesia you know, you know, and the problem is i just read the statement, offer eastern java police ship. he told the to the press that using the guest is their standard operational procedure on the, on the side, the fee for, for a bit, using the guest for this for football event. so we are talking about

to con, contradict the things that happens in indonesia football. ok. when you talk about casual fish, it happens many, many times in, in region for both. usually it's class between friends. all right, for each bluffs. ok. this time there is no other arrive for each place. this is split between fans and police. and my biggest concern, and i've, i've asked but many times, how can the, our football as association allow stadium where friends can enter 2 debates. it happens almost every week has him almost every week where defense can enter into the bits. if, if they can find

a solution by tightening security to that stadium may be less class will happen either between 2 fast or between offense and police. starting with, i think at this moment fif, i should step up not by bending innovation football, but working together, guiding our football association with the right security measures. so this will not happen again. this is just not acceptable as it, when i was seeing on the 29th or more, it's not acceptable yet. there is clearly an issue around security and all of this . and as i said it's, it's pretty clear from, from those pictures. but talk to us a little bit about the fan culture around football in indonesia and, and the kind of the fierce rivalries that exist around around that. okay. that

there are a couple of clubs who have served pierce life for a bit with plans like procedure or say, or i'm dr. ban bundle like, but it's a buyer and add a mass by and by law. ok. but usually, usually it happens outside the stadium and usually it's not between o class in into the bits or in the stadium. and most, most of the time they for bit the guest fans for hitting the home stadium. so once in a while it happens. but oh, my concern is actually the security. i have the idea bit, i'm not talking about the police, but lauder, the standard operational, there has to be a follow by the a b s i that by out with wall association. i it's, it's to,

to loosen. i mean, if our football association follow the right standard according to fi, fi and working together with the police. these will not happening. what just give you an example like every week friends can enter into the b. that's not acceptable . so why, why, why is there this lack of coordination then it appears between, you know, the police and the authorities and, and fee for and so on. i don't know, i, according to the police, they are following standard procedure. ok. and i don't know, i, i haven't read or hear this statement from the football associates and yet, but for sure, i will pressure the a demand for investigation. and meanwhile they stop the football lea. i totally agree with that. stop the football league until you find the right solution. if you

cannot find solution, right, to consult with fever or to with c. ok to fight and let them gave you what is the actual lucia? because every time when it happens, ok, we forget after 12 weeks, but now the number is very huge. this cannot be forgotten and this must stop for any simple but i prefer to stop the holy. if they can look up, put the right security into the stadium better, we don't play football then every time that is dedicated casualties among the supporters could to get your perspective on this justness luck. santa thanks very much for talking to us. you're welcome. a protest. this protests have been held in bagdad to mark the anniversary of the founding of the screen movement in iraq. demonstrations began in october 2019 calling for an end to ramp and corruption. hi

sandra, producing problem. so and conflict is how they divert the attention of the public. so far, there's been no viable alternative to the current system for the elections. and some fear that any changes could create even more segregation by solidifying powers for national politicians. as our bake, i'll jazeera sarajevo it's also election day in brazil, people del be voting in what's been one of the most divisive campaigns in the country's history. opinion pulse suggest former president lewis in asio lula da silva, has a comfortable lead over current president, jail bull sonata. he has repeatedly told his supporters that if he loses, it may not accept the results. my, my rapid reports from rio de janeiro. the presidential elections are drawing near
