7:05 pm
even journalists, so the charges against them of gods are considered to be political when death died just a few days ago. busy he was going to need a piece for rally at the start of the election campaign because the election and upon job i do on the 3rd year of apr the police you had forced to stop him saying that there were the restriction. ah, he of god emron, chronic you, the government dove, trying to create a situation whereby it were delayed the election. there had been a strong reaction across the country. india minister have got warning that they said it will be gathered out. so of a den situation, developing aid and bugger dawn at a time when the government and bala as failed or delivered on its promises, had their deal with the i medford still in limbo, the country running out of foreign exchange reserves, inflation and that the nor dime high and so it's public ganga. yeah. how that translates to job protests on the street. how long it will continue and whether the
7:06 pm

7:09 pm
a hurry muscle center, it was 2 birds in the night. but now that it is day time, i can feel the loss. i have never seen something as terrible as this. my neighbor's house is all organic. the family members are gone. they are missing a some cases the father is a life, but the wife and the children are gone on the same storm pummeled central mozambique on saturday, ripping reeves of buildings and bringing with it wide spread flooding. tens of thousands of homes that damaged. the un says more than half a 1000000 people could face a humanitarian crisis in one of the world's poorest nations. him allow a people have been urged to move into temporary shelters, and the government has declared a state of disaster. got you really granted, this is the 2nd time this has happened in 2015 will to experienced a disaster. but this time it's far worse. i think the number of dead here is likely to rise fine to say climate change is making tropical storms. more powerful as
7:10 pm
oceans absorb heat from greenhouse gas emissions. hear him allow a many, a suffering the consequences, despite having done the least to cause it. victoria gate and be al jazeera the storm started $37.00 days ago in the western pacific and has travelled more than 8000 kilometers, gathering strength over the indian ocean. it made landfall and madagascar as a tropical cyclone. from there it moved on to battle most m b for several days. it regains trends and the most and b channel and the country again. well, julius goma is the national coordinator, the civil society network on climate change in malawi. and he says the science behind extreme weather and the region is very clear. the muslim begun channel is actually warming and we did a different years coming by. we expect that more cycles are going to be happening.
7:11 pm
and this is a belief that most of the millennials i live in different states have at the moment, looking at the fact that from the last 3 years we've been having cycles happening. what was the price of $3.00 times a year? and they've been getting spring each and every year. so that's, you know, you're not, you're not my belief that we are going to be fixing the cycle as every year and they're going to be becoming strong on solar. we only have seen countries coming forward to, for me to maybe provide financing by an attorney, for example, up in the 6, we saw this quote, it's government giving it to media and, you know, commitments to, to lawson damage funding. but at the moment, we are yet to see more and more countries for meeting to to such a cost. but we are expecting that this maybe this is
7:12 pm
a less on looking at how now the, the, the impact that becoming more and more frequent. the going to return to our top story now the possible rest of pakistan's, former prime minister in mankind, which has prompted protests in several cities. or from the hor, let speak to form a pakistan prime minister and mankind. mister camp. thank you for your time. why won't you comply with the arrest warrant and allow the law to take its course well, according to the law, my i had predicted bill till the 18th. so 4 days earlier that police arrives. oh wait a rest warrant, which is totally illegal. so what we're doing is we're waiting for to morrow morning when we would, we will again appear. my lawyers will appear in court and challenge the search warrant of address arrest, recording stopped. and in the mean time, you released a video and you're asking your supporters and you have
7:13 pm
a lot of passionate supporters. you're asking them to come out and fight for what you say are there freedoms? are you not worried that your message asking people to fight, could result in violence? will fight for their freedom means fight for their fundamental raids. which means bes, fully protesting. what you believe, the constitution and the law of the land, what, what you gives you the right to protest. now all over your, of, you have people, a france, people protesting, but pensions in england, people protesting because of for, you know, inflation and b risers. so protest is part of the democratic process. never in my 26 years of politics. have i ever asked my boy, my workers ever to be violent and the arrest warrant, mister car that you're facing? it's in relation to a case where the government is accusing you of buying gifts,
7:14 pm
given by fine dignitaries from the state gift depository. failing to disclose the assets and declarations submitted to the election commission. what's your response to this charge? this charge that the police are trying to arrest you are the this is absolutely a fabricated allegation. it's not even a doesn't nothing. it's not even contested by us is just a judge, an allegation made by the police, by the government. now, there is cases against me and let us just to let you know, in the last few months, every other day, there's a fresh case case of murder. there's a case of sedition that the case of blossom lead. there is a case of terrorism. so the, every other day there's a case all we have asked. we are, we are, we are going to go to the supreme court and we're going to ask them to glove all the cases together. and just like the prime minister of india.
7:15 pm
but all he was given the option that because his life was also under threat, which miners i've, there's already been an assassination attempt on me. or we've also gotten the glove all the cases together and we had them in a secure place at the moment when i attended my do go to better says there was no security and the government itself says that my life is under threat. so that's all we lost, is that in a secure place, either the club to get there or didn't do it on video conferencing. like for instance, the man who shot me, he's in jail. and because this is life is on the tray, he affairs and go on on virtually in other was through the through we do. so you want the same rights that have been given to him. the government says the interior minister saying they would arrest you by the end of tuesday. if this happens,
7:16 pm
what does it mean for your party ahead of provincial elections that are due in april and the national election later this year. when i mentally put bed, i'm already that they would come in a recipe tonight because there's a huge force outside. i mean, they have not just the police, they've got the ranges there do, which is the which is the army and a team. the biggest on the biggest terrorist is hold up inside. so you know, i think that determine the reason why the want to risk not because they have what it about an rule of law. because the biggest criminals are right now, civic and government. 60 percent of the cabinet is on bail on corruption cases. it's because they want to remove it from the electra contest, because then they're petrified of the popularity of my body. it one out of $37.00 bi election that swept 30 election dollars been in them. are going to all have been
7:17 pm
in balls. we would sweep the upcoming election and, and that's why the one we removed from the scene the attempted murder was because of that and not putting me in jail is exactly following the same script. i mean, the attempted murder of allegation that's made by you mr. con. i want to come back to the point that you made to what you're saying rather, that the real criminals you say ivan parliament. but you are the only part of study prime minister to be removed from power through a no confidence vote and parliament. what makes you think that this isn't the end of your political career? well, normally when someone is removed from power, it means that they have to be prepared for political wilderness for quite some time . and not boss. governments have been removed from power,
7:18 pm
but always on corruption cases. all very boy economic performance coupled with captured cases. this is the only time a government was added drag or is performance according to the economic service bug found, which is an annual public publication of the countries yearly economic performance . so got into that of the, the journal that is published every year. we had the best economic performance in the last 17 years this by 2 years of government. so the government was not removed either because of corruption or because of lack of economic performance, it was removed, conspiracy, and that's why there has been such a public backlash. so never has a government out of it and the popularity has soared. i mean, and focused on history. yeah. never had the government, the amount of popularity that my body has. and it's because people feel it was
7:19 pm
unjustifiably to move through conspiracy. and you have alluded more than, alluded in fact to us involvement. and this conspiracy to remove you from power. why would the us be involved in this whether in the beginning with thought and both this was initiated by the us. but actually it was initiated by an ex army chief of who was then the army chief and he built this campaign against b. and actually he was the one who hired a lobbyist, god hosanna. gunny who actually can been while i was the prime minister. he was campaigning, telling the americans i was anti american. and that's when, because of what was fed to them. this letter, this, all this is, are you not the letter the cipher conversation between our ambassador in washington? ah, and, and don lou, the under secretary of state for south asia,
7:20 pm
that cipher was, was initiated then from washington, which said him, ron han should be removed from power. oh, there will be. consequences are due by august sun and to an unorganized motion. that's how it came about. so yes, the u. s. was involved. but as we discovered later on, not a not because they thought there was something wrong or they were actually door by i x on rechieve that it was i who was at the american to that is that with that was what happened at former prime minister pakistan joining us live from his holland in for them. we thank you for your time. thank you. still ahead on al jazeera, the united states, united kingdom, and australia, allows plans for a nuclear submarine deal to combat china's influence in the asia pacific. ah

7:22 pm
a rush of charles to the north of that rush of showers there, across much of malaysia, pushing all the way down into indonesia, the malay peninsula. his last dry and sunny now as is the case across a good part of south asia, but we do have a rash of showers and i think the shout becoming a little more widespread as we go on through the next couple of days. whether stacy's, where to whether pushing into were bangladesh, into the far north, east of india, into me, and mar pulling way. and then a rush of thunder showers coming behind. ah, the don't get involved with is an important part of indian culture. it's no surprise and many people want to book in the industry. one dogs and one pretty. sorry about family expectations. i'm calling from sedition. i saw a group now i was with the reality of working in a home the giving industry with

than 2 percentage points down on tuesday. after international investors will rattle and by the failure of to us bags. president joe biden says the u. s. banking system is safe will after a turbulent few days on the stock market's bank shares opened higher in new york on tuesday. the we can collapse of to us banks course turmoil. but investors have been reassured by report showing inflation marginally slowing in the us. that could take some pressure off bands. as economists expect the federal reserve to suspend that streak of interest rate hives from new york. gabriel elizondo has more on the state of the markets. they're doing quite well, frankly, they're all in the green s and p. the dow, the nasdaq, all gaining about $1.00 to $1.00 and a half to 2 percent or so that's good news for the white house. and quite frankly, for a lot of people, they've been watching this closely. what they were trying to do was prevent panic. that is what the white house did not want to happen. they did not want people
7:25 pm
rushing to their banks to withdraw money. because that could have led to a wider banking crisis for wider one that we already have in the united states right now. so based on the market reactions so far on tuesday, it appears that that policy by the white house and speaking out aggressively over the last 24 hours trying to contain this to the 2 banks that have been shut down, appears to be working. but it doesn't necessarily point to necessarily long term stability. to give you an idea of moody's rating agency downgraded the u. s. banking system from stable to negative. and in a report said the rapid, rapidly deteriorating operating environment in their words, was a cause for the downgrade. so certainly there's a sigh of relief that the market seem to be doing very well on tuesday, but also the medium to long term outlook is still very delicate. china has a stray,
7:26 pm
the end the u. s. and the u. k. are on a path of era and danger. that's off of the 3 nations and the nuclear power submarine deal in the face of beijing rising influence and the asia pacific. mondays deal under the old security patch would provide a stray area with 3 america manufactured nuclear psalms. john henry reports from san diego. it is a bold effort to shift the balance of power in the pacific. the leaders of the u. s . the u. k. and australia cementing a plan to deploy nuclear powered submarines from the australian coast are unprecedented. trilateral cooperation, i believe, is testament to the strength of the longstanding ties the united is and are shared . commended auburn, sure. the end of pacific remains free and open, prosperous, and secure. the plan will take decades to complete. the defense alliance called arcus, has already begun with the 1st of hundreds of australians embedding in
7:27 pm
u. s. and u. k. submarine building programs. more u. s. subs will start visiting australia this year, while british subs will increase rotations from 2026 by 2030 to australia, plans to buy 3 nuclear powered subs containing conventional weapons from the us, with the option of buying 2 more. and sometime in the 20 forty's, australia expects to have its own nuclear, so built by the u. k. and australia using the u. s. technology, the orchestra, grandma, we confirm hearing sandy, i represent the biggest single investment in australia's defense capability in all about history. the biggest threat in the pacific comes from an increasingly aggressive china, which has built new fortifications in the south china sea. it's a situation that china has as created and brought upon itself very much like girl russia has in the ukraine in china's gigi and paying his called the august plan,
7:28 pm
an effort to encircle and contain his country view as, as missouri. here is a nuclear powered virginia class attacks up mine. the kind of us will send to australia is that country developed the capacity to build its own nuclear subs go longer, farther and faster than conventional subs. and that's a big advantage. the new fleet, replacing australia's aging diesel force requires the u. s. and u. k to boost their nuclear ship building capacity and to build one in australia from scratch. but ultimately, the defense of our values depends, as it always has on the quality of our relationships with others, with china engage in its own submarine building program and flexing its muscles in the south china sea. the 3 english speaking august nations are betting that together. they can better counterbalanced the size of china's naval force. john henderson, al jazeera san diego, to please now a judicial inquiry is under way to bring justice to the 57 people killed when
