5:07 am
grateful that so many are ready and willing to shoulder this awesome responsibility . she was received rapturously by her caucus, a share of unity in stark contrast to a republican party in tomo after a per sharing in the mid terms. they may have won the house, but the majority is very narrow. the republican party establishment blames the donald trump wing of the party for the mid term election results, but the troubling of the party blames the republican party establishment for not being bold enough and going also the by dive ministration with the majority in the house. the republicans can launch congressional investigations into the biden administration. already they say they will be looking into joe biden, son, hunter's business dealings and allegations of corruption involving the president. this is an investigation of joe barton, the person in the united states, and why he lied to the american people about his knowledge and participation in his family's international business schemes. national security interest require the
5:08 am
committee conduct investigation and we will pursue all avenues. avenues that have long been ignored with account republican leadership is wrestling with how far it should go to appease the trump wing of the party without alienating swing voters, head of the next elections in 2024. she had time see al jazeera washington and the u. s says its military base and ne, syria has been targeted with missiles. the attack on the green village base happened on thursday night. the u. s. as no one was injured on the bass wasn't damaged. it's still not known who fired the rockets. now it's being reported that twitter is closing its offices until november. the 21st, amid reports that hundreds of employees of quit knew basil on mosque had given stuff the option of signing up to a new hard core twitter leave with 3 months pay. the deadline to decide past us over 4 hours ago, disabled employee who was fired for refusing to return to office work is also suing
5:09 am
. twist is facing legal action also from previous layoff. well, let's speak to ensure in silver spring, maryland. he is an editor at large with seen it in what's going on. i mean, this is really in a lot of ways, a reaction to all of the management style that you want. mac has brought to twitter . he is known for being a very hard charging ceo who has extreme demands of his employees, right? we've seen him talk about sleeping on the floor of the test, the plants we saw after he took over twitter that some of the people inside twitter were bringing in their, their sleeping bags and having to stay overnight there. and we know that he was pushing them very hard. what i think is interesting is that this was one of the 1st times that he was the employees tell him what they think of all this. and that was by him saying, either you're going to sign up and say you're going to follow along with this
5:10 am
minimum 40 hour work week. i expect you in the office or you can walk out the door . and it seems that according to a lot of reports for a lot of people took the door well, given that he's now hearing what employees having to say is, must panicking their speculation. i know that this temporary closure is because his team is worried that employees might even sabotaged the company. yeah, i mean that is in its own way, very fascinating. it's very clear. i think that you must realize this maybe that he doesn't have very many friends in the office right now, which, you know, it's hard to have a lot of friends when you cut half the staff and then try to kind of get a bunch of other more people to go by telling them that they're doing a terrible job and, and you know, just kind of generally causing a lot of stress. so i think the question is, where is this all going to go? right is, is twitter is suddenly going to be significantly smaller than it started. i mean,
5:11 am
just earlier this month it was 7500 employees. then it went down to some 3500. according to some reports it is dropped down to it dropped down by 88 percent. that's unbelievable. number of people to walk out the door inside a month. of course. well i want to talk about the stand of the resignation we've been seeing. and now than more than 4 hours since the deadline passed this deadline, i know that internal polling seemed to suggest that only, for instance, a quarter of software engineers were planning to stay on. all they're going to be able to run. that is the question. i think a lot of us have been asking, it's very clear that running a website like this is, is not easy. and there's a lot of stuff that breaks right software is made by human beings. human beings are not perfect. and so the software isn't deever and things go bad every day. that's normal. but usually they're teams of people who are on charge of making sure that they fix it and are actually watching it in real time to make sure they can catch stuff before it starts borrowing out of control. but if,
5:12 am
if all of these concerns turn out to be true and eventually i'm surely well be, we're going to start seeing cascading failures, right? stuff that it wasn't working, and then it starts causing other problems and other problems. and suddenly twitter as a website is no longer is reliable, as we have all but kind of gotten used to it being well, we're also talking about big names who've left. i mean, even before this, the chief information security officer, the chief privacy officer, the chief compliance officer, they will resign just over a week ago. so we're looking at the wholesale change when it comes to management and leadership. where is this going? what are we likely to see in terms of those changes? i mean that it, those are really, it's hard to tell what is going to happen with the new twitter this i think about a lot of times how people probably felt when steve jobs took over apple back in 1997 right after he came back after the company was nearly bankrupt and he was making a lot of changes and a lot of people disagreed with them,
5:13 am
but it turned out well for him. the difference here of course, is that he had experience running a computer company. you want my does not have any experience running a social network. and so i don't know whether or not he's going to be able to make this work or work with advertisers or figure out how to make actual money and be able to work the investment. it's going to be really fascinating to watch and the very fascinating and we will be watching very closely in show the and editor at large with di annette. thanks so much for joining us again on out there and with great thanks for having me. well now the new boss of the fail, the crypto currency exchange, f t x says the company used customer funds to buy employees homes in the bahamas. fcl file for bankruptcy. last week, it's founder, some bank been freed, resigned as chief executive, new c o john ray, the 3rd lead, the liquidation of energy company enron. he describes the collapse of f t x as a complete failure of corporate control. hostile ahead here on out as in
5:14 am
pursuit a free trade. my leaders gather for an asian economic summit, but could ukraine dominant conservation versus development? the challenges facing the u. s. cultural agency as it marks it's 50 ah, anticipation is rising. and so as the, as with most of my cattle aways, so it's cried in india for now, but things will change either one. here's the details. this is a picture on friday, plenty of sun, but when we have light winds, that means some poor air quality is hanging over places like new delhi and also calcutta as well. but most of the energy, all of the energy really is in the bay of been gone. so let's put this a few days for it. here we are on sunday. we see it's starting to crash into the
5:15 am
coast of tabel. now do an entrepreneur dash a. so certainly this is something that we're gonna watch. it will bring us a some rain and wind over the course of the weekend at severe flood advisories in play. not too far away from manila, certainly central and southern portions of the philippines. there have been some flooding as of late in pu cat, and really up and down the malay peninsula. some intense rain here of flooding both to the north and the south of call them poor. the rain is still falling over top of that on friday, and rain picking up for west java, east java, right into bali and lombok islands. off we go to china right now, and most of the action is south of the gang. see river valley that rains starting to pull away from gray, lynn, so your temperature will come up a bit. oh, we've got some rain and wind heading your way for the northern part part of honshu island and also ho kado island as well. so paro 9 degrees, the high for you on friday to with sponsored by a catalog, they weighs a
5:16 am
with there was a time to be direct. there is a growing realization that rights can be taken away in this country to cut through the rhetoric. how can we resist this narrative in hub in jesus and demand the true? don't me, markham, on hill, for up for what al jazeera, with wow. oh, hello there you're watching al jazeera, i'm associate in durham. let's remind you about top stories, the salad. at least 21. people have been killed in
5:17 am
a fire and the japanese refugee cap and gaza. the play started in a residential building while people were attending a party. the fire is now out. 3 men have been sentenced to life in prison for their role in the downing of malaysia airlines flights and age 17 and 2014. all 298 people on board were killed when the pain went down. east and ukraine. u. s. how speak and nancy pelosi is stepping down as democratic leader. he says that she will not seek reelection but will stay on as the congresswoman for san francisco. now se asia is a 1st high speed rail line is almost complete. and the network connects the indonesian capital cost with bundle in west java. it's one of china as most high profile international infrastructure projects. there is also growing concerned about costs. jessica washington has more the sleek design and state of the art technology. this is one of the most high profile infrastructure
5:18 am
projects in indonesia, the trains can reach a maximum speed of 350 kilometers per hour. this week at the close of the g. 20 summit in bali, china's president sheet and paying, joined the indonesian president joker, dodo to view a test of the train law the law. we have just witnessed a personal trial of the 2 car to bundle high speed railway and i'm optimistic up at the oppression of the railway and into next year. this is one of china's many built in road initiative, projects that are part of the country's international infrastructure development strategy. so this is, this is the success that benefits the people of both countries. it also brings a positive impact to the world as a role model for cooperation among developing countries. finding the trains also equipped with sensors to detect earthquakes and other threats. the railway spans more than a 140 kilometers and includes 13 tunnels. it will cut travel time between dakota
5:19 am
and bundle from 3 hours to 40 minutes. it's the 1st high speed rail project outside china that fully incorporates chinese technology and equipment. some of the technology here is being used for the 1st time in indonesia. we are very proud about my but the project which is mostly funded by loan from china development bank has been controversial. the consortium building the railway says the project faces cost overruns of around $2000000000.00. meaning, the estimated total cost is more than $7000000000.00. some have criticized the amount being spent on the project. there will be like many fundamental needs instead of the tight technology, coal, like a high speed railway. instead of building that kind of infrastructures that the indonesian government still focusing more in the poverty in addictions, china is the world's largest creditor to developing economies. and much of that
5:20 am
goes to infrastructure projects that some say the new train should be seen as an opportunity nor to liability. and this is also a chance for knowledge transfer for indonesians who are interested in fostering technology donations will have the chance to assess for themselves how useful the rail network is when it begins operations in 2023. jessica washington out a 0 to carter. now south careers has chung young has fired, what's thought to be an intercontinental ballistic missile from its east coast. this is the 2nd in today's and the latest in a series of recent launches. it's taking place as well. leaders, army thing at the asia pacific economic cooperation summit in bangkok. now over the next 2 days del, discuss trade investment and building a greener economy. let's go straight to tony chang. he is in bangkok forest. tony was here plenty to come at once top of the agenda this apec a will oh, it's being launched under the theme of a balanced,
5:21 am
inclusive and sustainable growth, which is a slightly wishy washy slogan. but i think the real attention here is going to be on economic issues. we've seen the assay and some of the g 20 looking very much at the global issues, very much the forefront of people's minds here. i think they're going to try and focus on the economic issues. and to that end this afternoon, one of the sessions is going to be looking at the rising inflation and the looming recession, though, i think that's something that the leaders here really want to tackle. but i think the other important thing, as we've seen at s e n and the g 20 is that this is giving world leaders a chance to sit down together. there are lots of bilaterals going on. one of the, the highlights was such the yesterday evening when chinese president, she doing ping, sat down with japan's prime minister for a one on one, bilateral, that hasn't happened for 3 years. we didn't get very much out of that meeting. we understand they talked about territorial issues about taiwan, but also about increased trade agreements and how to resolve security issues. and i
5:22 am
think that's what people are really hoping, not just for him this summer for him. the other 2 is, were that it's giving people a chance to sit down to talk face to face. there are a lot of very contentious issues. are facing a many of the leaders here, but i think when they're sitting in the room with a human becomes less of an issue rather away face to face problem one. as you say, tiny plenty of senior leaders are going to be in bangkok. how has the city prepared to host this global center? well, it's really gone into lockdown, or we've seen the city center flooded with not just ordinary police, but riot police swat teams. if you travel down bank hawks main roads at the moment, every 10 meters, there's a police when i think there's something of or an over reaction people here little bit frustrated. it's actually a national holiday to day. so many people have not bothered to come in to the city
5:23 am
center. the reason we've got so much security is because the thai government is very aware of the problems they've had in the last couple of years at the st protest they've had. i think they are aware that those protest is, could well have targeted this. we've seen a few little scuffles people trying to march on the queens surrogate center where the apec summit is being held. but it will be very hard for them to get through. they are of course, very aware of the last time they were well in 2009 when they hosted an assay. and summit protest has managed to get in and forced all those world leaders to flee in the helicopters. i think that has left a very strong mark on the memory. none the less, i think there's a feeling also here that this was an opportunity for thailand to step forward in much the same way as indonesia had in the g 20. but the generals here are rather reactive, they're, they're protecting themselves. they're trying to save face. and in doing so, they haven't really thought about the opportunities. this apex summit of attorney
5:24 am
chang, they're following the summit for us in bangkok. thanks so much tank. now 6 people have been careless after a gas explosion in northern iraq. it happened in the city of still ammonia. the blast destroyed 3 houses and damage several more. it was caused by a cooking gas salad and stored on one of the roofs of one of the hinds. fatty people were injured. a polish president, andre judah, has visited the size of a missile strike that killed 2 people on tuesday. both poland and nato say it was likely a ukrainian air defense miss south at the strike wasn't intentional. i said beg has more now from the polish border town where the missile hit were in the polish village of sewer. this just kilometers away from the ukrainian border. this is a site where 2 people were killed in a mis. i landed on a farm. now president andre duda has visited his office. he's condolences and support to local community both and showed them that the investigation is ongoing.
5:25 am
and will be thorough, but this has come a, some major shock for people here in this community. they've been used to the war taking place on the other side of the border. they've been used to seeing an increase of people crossing that board and the traffic. but they didn't think that something like this would happen, who shows up on your tumor. good. obviously when it comes to the 2 villages, the 2 places where the 2 men who were killed the situation is quite difficult. they were very much like within the community. and it touched people, they're very much more. what's more important, is it awareness that this rocket could have fallen on any other direction either side? it could have killed any of us, michael, his book. so far the ukrainians are adamant that it wasn't one of them. missiles from the air defense system that struck poland, but a russian one. president savanski says he is spoken to his air command. and those discussions have taken place in private. but ukraine wants to be a part of the investigation and hand over evidence, but what the ukrainians are saying is country to what we're hearing from the polish here, the united states and nato. you say that it's unlikely that it was
5:26 am
a russian massage, but more likely that it was one from the ukrainian air defense. but we are waiting to see the results of the investigation. but even if it was a russian missile, this seems to be a consensus that it was not an intentional attack by russia against poland, who is a nato member and the family of jails. egyptian activist ala abdul fatter has been allowed to visit him in jail. 2 days after he ended his hunger strike, they say his condition has deteriorated severely and he suffered what they described as a near death experience and a fatter has spent most of the past decade in jail. he's currently saving a 5 year sentence for sharing a facebook post about prisoner who died in custody news agencies in iran say 17 people have been killed in the past 24 hours. a nationwide strike is being held in response to the death of 22 year old master, meaning in police custody demonstrations have been taking place to mock the anniversary of fuel protests in 20. 19 on wednesday the gunman opened fire to
5:27 am
bazaar in the city of a killing, a 10 year old child. dorothy jabari has moved from terror on the demonstrations. certainly intensified since tuesday when the calls were made for people to go on strike. to commemorate what is known here as bloody november of 2019, and in the past 24 hours, we've seen one of the deadliest since these protest started about 9 weeks ago. at least 17 people have been killed in various points throughout the country, including security forces. and the officials have said that they have already arrested a number of people in various parts where those incidents took place. i think what is significant this we've seen, certainly a more widespread demonstrations taking place over the past 48 hours. what is unclear at the moment is what will come next since a 3rd day of strike is well underway. now, what will happen in the next 48 hours or so,
5:28 am
whether or not these demonstrations will continue, and how will the security forces respond to them and needs to be seen? what is clear is there certainly a general feeling of discontent. among the demonstrators, we've seen a number of incidents and not only in various parts of the country, but in the capital itself. we saw a number of people being attacked in metro stations. officials have said that they have arrested certain number of people that were involved in those incident, labeling them as terrorists and having links with a number of known terrorist organizations. what will come in the coming days will be certainly significant in this demonstration that we've seen ongoing. now for the past 2 and a half months, bridges finance minister, jeremy hunter has officially declared his nation is in recession. he's responding by increasing taxes and cotton government spending. the overall focus you case inflation rate to be 9 point one percent this year. and 7.4 percent next year. they
5:29 am
confirm that our actions today held inflation to full sharply from the middle of next year. they also judged that the u. k, like other countries, is now in recession. while the u. n is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its wild heritage sites program. unesco convention was designed to help protect cultural properties and then national conferences under way in greece. and there's been an announcement of a future focus on smaller african countries. they'll be encouraged to apply for protection and funding for their unique sites. john trackless has worn out from delphi. in ancient times, this remote place on mount upon asses and central greece became the most important article. this is where city states would send emissaries to find out what they should do when they were faced with the difficult decisions such as whether to wage war. it is here that the athenians sent heralds to ask whether they should fight the persians at what later became their triumphs at the battles of maris and salus
5:30 am
in the 5th century b. c. the pissy of the priestess who lived in the temple of apollo behind me would become ecstatic by breathing and burnt laura leaves, and she would utter various phrases. the priests would later interpret and write down for those emissaries. and here also the people of delphi lived, attending the theatre above us and attending the delphic games which were as famous in antiquity as the olympic games that took place every 4 years. for all of these reasons, the unesco organization has named delphi one of its key worlds heritage sites. and it chose this place to announce on thursday that it was also trying to broaden in the next phase of its history. the mixture of sites to include more african sites among the world heritage list. so it is going to invite 12 countries among the smaller and less wealthy and african countries to go through the application process.
