every time the number for the research is i'm to the curious friendly animal that watching how coverage of africa is what i'm most proud of. every time i travel day, whether it's east or west africa, people stop me and tell me how much they appreciate coverage. and our focus is not just on their suffering, but also on the more up lifting and inspiring story. people trust algebra to tell them what's happening in their communities in a clear and i'm biased and as an african, i couldn't be more proud to be thought of, you know? ah ah,

on the whole rahman watching me all the reviews online. my headquarters here in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. a 2nd, dave told between chinese and russian leaders in moscow teaching, putting in vice vladimir putin for a return visit to china. japan prime minister arrived in even an unexpected visit to show solidarity with ukraine. also outrage and criticism after israel finance minister states. there is no such thing as a palestinian on harry faucet in london. whether you case, largest police service is really from a syrian report that accuses it of racism. homophobia specs isn't out of being broken. and it's for japan of defeated mexico to set up a world baseball classic final for the united states, back and forth game with japan. timing, a 65 semi funnel with my and i

welcome to the these are the leaders of to those of the largest economies all visiting rival capitals in the war in ukraine. chinese president, teaching thing is in moscow meeting russian president vladimir putin and the prime minister behind him. assisted last month china presented a peace plan to end the war in ukraine. fusion says russia is open to discussing china's proposal. meanwhile, japanese prime minister female cuz shita is in keith to meet president laudermill lensky as she does 1st trip to ukraine. since russia invaded a year ago while will be speaking to stephanie decker in, keep in just a moment, but 1st let's bring in arch, endless eula. shop of oliver in moscow. it's been a busy day for both leaders. julia, where are they right now? yes indeed, it's been

a busy day because eller on in the morning present as she met with rushes prime minister, monsieur, it's in the white house of the russian government. and right now we're getting pictures and reports from the kremlin, where they say leave is just meant for you have another round of talks and fast. they sat down with just a few of their colleagues who represent both countries, delegations, and later on we are expecting them to get into a large conversation involving all of the members of the delegations and also that they will sign documents and then the official pro, wrong will be completed by a ceremonial dinner in order in honor of the, of the guests. indeed, and of course, it's a high profile visit to both countries, but certainly for president putin, he wants to make sure that the public at large know what's going on in that country and why it's going on. so how is this being sold to russians? yeah, look at these newspapers, i'm just having

a few of them with pictures of the 2 leaders on the front pages. so obviously all are talking about the visit here. and i've also taken a look at various news outlets to gauge their opinions. and besides official protocol information, there are many experts who speak about benefits of the russian chinese political and economic partnership, and china's unprecedented support for russia. many talked politics saying that the 2 countries are trying to change the unit, perla, world, russia, politically, using war as a tool, china, economically using diplomas and trade. and at the same time, we hear that none other than china can play a mediating role in resolving the crisis between russia and ukraine. china shows that can talk to anyone and demonstrate that it's peas. proposals are supported by many countries, including russia. meanwhile, the business community is reacting quite oxblue too many representatives of a big business, very much interested. many are personally involved in what's going on. and they

understand that depending on agreements and what kind of industries will be involved in the partnership, those industries will receive a boost and investments and the raise a room for maneuver. of course, especially when so many foreign industries and enterprises have left russia g to its role in the ukranian conflicts for the update that we went to the shop of oliver in moscow. thank you. let's cross over to stuff decker. he's what is the force in kiva and stuff? how is you credit reacting to the she visit, considering they've just all having the road very high profile? is it from another big ation heavy weight? yes, it is very much a, a public show of rivalry support. i would say not just asian economic power houses, but global economic power houses, and the japanese prime minister is now in the capital he is set to meet. he might already be meeting with the ukrainian president. he was welcomed at the train station here by ukraine's 1st deputy minister of foreign affairs and according to

a foreign ministry statement japanese up our ministry is here to offer support and respect to the resilience of ukrainian people and also to the president and supporting very much ukraine starns japan has all along been in line up with sanctions. it's been supporting ukraine when it comes to mind a tarion also economically not sending any military support. this is in line with, it's sort of passive, his charter, but also significantly it's the 1st time that a japanese prime minister has visited a country at war since the 2nd world war. if you ask me reaction from keith as to the visit of she ging ping to moscow. very muted in a way really most of the reaction has been coming from washington. what we have heard from keith is that they are open to meet with the chinese leadership. in fact, some minister is saying, let's wait and see whether we are going to get a phone call. there has been some speculation that the chinese president, once he finishes in moscow, will be making a call with president zalinski. china,

of course, has a piece deal on the table that it's proposed, but it stipulates things like not giving back areas like crimea, keeping parts of the don bass, which is something that key doesn't agree with certainly on paper. so we're gonna have to wait and see whether she ging ping makes a call to valencia. but certainly at the moment the focus here is on the meeting with the japanese prime minister. and again, very much a visual, a show of support at odds on both sides, stiff ticket. jose inky. thanks, jeff. no. israel's silence minister her spoke to backlash after saying there's no such thing as the palestinian people at a conference in paris on sunday. bazaar lives, marriage, destroy, palestinians as an invention of the past century. oh, there's no such thing as a palestinian. there's no such things of palestinian people. do you know who's palestinian? i am palestinian. ah ah,

my late grandfather, whose 13th generation at jerusalem night is the true palestinian. ah, ah, the palestinian people are an invention that is less than a 100 years old. the eas, foreign policy chief jesup barrels says israel, or has urged israel to reject the statement. and the police proc palestinian prime minister said the comments were an incitement to violence in not possibly had the look the adler behavior was utilized lately. the statements made by the israeli minister, smart rick saying that there is no palestinian people and that it was invented in the last 100 years is conclusive evidence of the extremist racist zionist ideology that governs the parties of the current israeli government. no, no, levine, i'll play maley. philos theme is sma. we are the ones who gave palestine his name and the land. its value and status of this land is ours. and israel is a colonial state established by the colonialists and settlers, and it expanded like any settler colonialism. mrs. miran cohen has more from

westbury slim the far right in israel. i've always said this type of thing. it goes back to go to my air or the as rarely prime minister in 1969. she said she used to say that there was no such thing as the palestinians. this, despite the fact that the 1st recorded use of the term palestine was 3200 years ago during the bronze age and the land between the jordan river. and the mediterranean sea has always been referred to as a palestine all the way up until the establishment of the state of israel, in 1948. if that hadn't happened, it still be called palestine. but the far, i have always said that there has been no state of palestine, and that's partly true because of the occupations that the land has actually been under, much recently by the british in 1948. so these comments are inflammatory. they're designed to really air rush it up the tensions, but they're also designed to play to smart watches, base at which completely agrees with the kind of things he say. and now benjamin

netanyahu to retweet her said, now is not the time to go to the u. s meet with president bio, so he's actually on the back foot. now he's trying to defend his decision not to visit. but the simple fact of the matter is, according to the state department officials, is that there simply isn't the invite. there are plenty more had here. all the news are including amena fernandez in she lanka let an i am, it's very loud. package is bringing home in the country's worst economic crisis, but with some people conditions. color is spreading income, so displaced people in the democratic republic of congo. that is for one of the oils toughest bike races of the way in south africa. andy, with that story a little later ah, the diving reports by an independent member of parliament in the united kingdom has

found at london's metropolitan police force it's racist, sexist and homophobic res case. he says, office is all improperly vetted, and this call for comprehensive reform. hurry force, it has the story. this report was born of a crime that shocked him, sickened an equal measure. in march 2021, sir everard was abducted tortured, raped, and killed by a serving officer in the metropolitan police. wayne cousins was jailed for life that case prompted another woman to come forward accusing. another officer, david carrick was convicted of more than 20 rapes of 12 victims spanning 17 years, and that failure in his duty to bet offices and protect women and children. central louise casey's findings, rather than see one person or bother, or a roman. what you should do in a situation like this is look at whether your entire system is copper bottomed, to reach out the predators and not allow them in, in the 1st place. in her report, she also finds that police protection for children and women is failing,

saying an overworked inexperience workforce polices child protection rate and serious sexual offenses. offices have to contend with overstuffed, dilapidated, or broken bridges, and freezes containing evidence, including the rape kit to victims. she points to bullying racism and sexism within the specialist, firearms unit, and calls the parliamentary and diplomatic protection unit where cousins and carried both worked a dark corner of the force. but the whole force, she said, was institutionally homophobic massaging the stick and races taken as a whole. this report is entirely condemning of this organization. it says the metropolitan police has lost public support, and consent needs to wake up and engage in comprehensive wholesale reform. i accept diagnosis about the racism, so if i been the organization and also that we have these systemic failings, nicer findings, cultural failings, i understand her use of the institutional is not term i use myself. i'm

a practical place officer. i have few language that's an ambiguous and they say political campaign as though we're already worried that reforms won't go far enough . the subs theresa the matter is that report off to report to the police space intensive individuals and that may conduct as well as the institutions to tom shells and collect dust. luis casey says, recommendations from specialists, sexual assault units, to new systems for dealing with misconduct. the bringing in external expertise ought to be picked from but to be implemented as a whole. otherwise, she says the course may need to be broken up. careful sit al jazeera, london and let's join harvey now joins aside from the british capital. harry, you know, of the many people about the chance now to read the report. so one can only assume the fall out is coming in thick and fast. that's right. yes, it's quite a lot of political reaction throughout the course of the morning in,

in the u. k, we've heard from the mayor of london study, connie said that this is one of the darkest days in the history of the metropolitan police that he was committing himself and his authority to the reform of it. a similar message coming from the home secretary, the interior minister, what abraham. and she said that she would be having confidence in the commissioner of the match, the chief of the police service in london to carry out these reforms. but that she would be holding him accountable and the mayor accountable and saying that those not fit to weather uniform must be prevented from doing so. the prime minister soon . because also challenged on a b, b. c interview. as to whether he would regard his daughters a safe with 30 members of the met. he wasn't able really to go that far. just saying that it had to be insured. that that was the case. i was also clear is what the saying members of the metropolitan police in this report about the practices within this service. just how diming. all of that really is a seek police officer is said to have had his beard cut as a joke. another one,

having his turban put in a shoe box, a muslim police officer, finding bacon inside a shoe. female members of staff saying that senior officers mail office is prey sexually on junior female offices. and as well as that, there is the issue that was highlighted in that report that we just said as well about protection of children and women. what member of stuff saying if someone in their family or their friends was in that kind of situation, the sexual over a rate case, would they recommend that they came to the met police with it? they would have to say no. so that is the extent of the problem, all sorts of commitments to reform, not least from the senior leadership of the service itself. but as we said in that report as well, if partis, casey says, if it isn't possible for the met to reform itself, then perhaps it needs to be broken up in the future. how we, thanks very much for the up to hurry, forces a force in london. let's bring it out of the vincent you. the former. you came at

fullerton police officer joins with us and south end on england southern coast with vincent i will get into the nitty gritty of the reported amendment. just get your overview generally of virus casey's report, it reads like was really from an emerging democracy democracy. they would want to take note of it, the barest about a promise to take on the recommendations. it's hard to believe that she's talking about the country that invented the modern day police force and the father of that police force. robert peel must be turning in his grave. absolutely, yeah, i was extremely southern. and when i read the recall that was shot because of all the news that we had incredibly angry. well, reading about, well female feel sitting and not being supported by the colleague supported by being at ages. i'm not have, you know, because of the very,

very close to that. has it ever been a high where women, especially women have come to dr. philly, just talk about your personal experiences because obviously you were working police officer, you've spoken to colleagues from across the, the social spectrum who, where the uniform can use gives a couple of examples of the type of behavior that you heard of all that you've experienced at 1st hand, yes. lately and nay is probably things that with maybe he's gone. my son is minor say things like comments about a numerous times. i wish i don't want to say when i, you know, i didn't want to keep it in my,

from somebody that happened on occasion when we discussed it or they didn't tell whether or not resources one would want to see them. and that's just kind of a always just i am a things are allowed to happen and wanted to get things in the background. i do have the b to b. i to try to go see the louise casey's report talks about the environment in which police recruitment and training it is a complex operation. it surely is something that takes years of experience to get the right office as you think in place. if that's wrong,

the coal is the question. who can you trust to do this training and vetting and do the police don't just the met, but the other police forces around the country have to re think about the way that they recruit offices will have to bring in consultants from outside to you might say re look at the process and start from scratch. yeah, i think lead i need to work with we may need to work with the community. i need to, i need to have it in any condition, somebody to train a lot about things like scientists, about the bi, stand all of the things that can help and i don't think the police can do it on their own. i think the best thing you should be i think they should be resting at the very least. 2 different people need the doctors until they come in. we need to

know previous convictions, both those social media. we need to really make sure that the dangerous apprentices are attached to the power or anything, something that they cannot deny angle. we need to make sure that they can now they all mediately. i think louise, what is can be reflective? our international audience is that while we're talking about the police force in britain's capital, there are more than a dozen police forces across the united kingdom as they would be in any other country. and that the people in the north west of the country up in scotland may be north, and i live nodding in agreement, perhaps having an example of that in their own particular region of the country. now it's all about public trust isn't it? i'm getting the public called inside just because what we're hearing from certain police officers, those in charge is this is a small minority and we're hearing voices like yours would make it sound like such a big problem. how does the public settling in the united kingdom gauge whether

this is a small problem or larger problem that needs to be dealt with? i think we need to listen to the people that live there. i think we need to put people that have some pretty good job people who are from the community who are women who guy, we need to listen to that. was it the not for them when i really and you're absolute, you bought anything that's not every police in some of them it will be well because some of the more everybody knows everybody else. so imagine being a woman and you will drive record release for the committee. for example, it's going to be less than $44.00 will be better by whatever's happening happening. and i think that people need to go through it rather than what we say. we need to speak to people lives.

it's good to get your insight into what it's abs ready like in the british, please for study from london perspective alice vinton in south and thanks so much for joining us on al jazeera. thank you. now the french journalist under usaid worker who were kidnapped by all groups in west africa have been released jealous, olivia, to blah, was taken hostage in molly in 2021. he landed in paris on tuesday with greeted by family and present medical macro. american aid worker jeffrey wood. key was also freed. he was abducted in nija. more than 6 years ago. sir lanka will receive almost $3000000000.00 bailout from the international monetary fund of part of efforts to rescue its bad economy. colombo will receive the funds over the next 4 years. the 1st installment of $330000000.00 is expected within the next 2 days. so like if they think it's worth the economic crisis in decades,

most protests against boxing, inflation and shortages of basic goods for the president from office last year. me and i love going to the la drawer. i'm happy that we got the loan because the people in the country are living very difficult times. we hope there will be a reawakening and i go good, we got it. it must be spent to solve the country's problems. if they steal that to, then we will lose again. if they reduce the price of fuel and food items and give people some relief. good. so in a televised, national address after the approval of the item, if aid president neil recover, fingers said that his country was no longer a bankrupt nation. when l fernandez has moved from colombo, people have been waiting and waiting for months upon months to look for some form of respite. and they're hoping that this money that the loan approved by the i m f, will make some kind of a difference to their lives. obviously,

330000000 to be part of transferred in the next 2 days. they hope that as the government says, a will kind of ease the pressure. now this means that the government is going to have this additional funding to secure essential fear. supplies like the president on the vicar missing her or right after the approval speaking to the nation. today i said that sherlock is no longer bankrupt nation, that this 1st tranche of money will be used to secure medicines to help the tourism sector and things like that. so what people are hoping is that things like inflation that the sort of galloping exchange rate to the dollar a will be brought down and that we bring things to a slightly more affordable basis. but it's going to be a long road ahead. michelle de merle is an economist on the executive director of verity research in columbia. he looks at the opportunities and risks that's for lanka is not facing having secured,

but i'm f loan. i think the expectation is that 3 law car, once it starts this journey with the i m f program will have to cross a 2nd rubicon, which is getting its debt restructured and asking creditors to take significant hackers even that doesn't get 3 lanka to the end of the road, the 3rd rubicon. and the final step is when sri lanka regains access string to national financial markets. now when he does that, it can re borrow and use that borrowing to pay back the lawn. but if sri lanka repeats factions of the pos that borrowing can once again, become sustainable and say, lanka can fall back into a debt and economic crisis in the future. as you know in the last 50 years, 50 percent of the countries that restructured, that debt couldn't get back to sustainability was one restructure. so the challenge for st lanka is, is the restructuring going to be deep enough? is the plan that is being enrolled,

going to deal with the symptoms for the pauses deeply enough, such that through lanka doesn't relapse into another crisis and can come out sustainably through this process? times the weather. now his current hello there was got in south asia. it's looking a lot more settled across india than it was over the weekend. we have some pretty fierce thunderstorms will. a legacy of showers remains across that eastern coast in the north. it's looking a lot quieter here with more in the way of sunshine for new jelly, the worst of the what were the food gathering in that northeast corner of india with rain coming in for bangladesh, nepal and bu. 10 things are going to change and go to system pulling its way across . i've got to stand reading some very wet and wintry weather further east. we'll see that rain start to roll into pakistan, edging into more northwestern areas of india later in the week. and we've moved to east asia, there's more heavy rain on the way for central parts of china. you can see those

heavy downpours moving towards the east coast, showers will be trickling into shanghai. the worst of the wet weather does move away from japan, toko, coming in at 21 degrees celsius. a socket. a 24 is in the story, in sole temperatures here. have been sitting about 5 degrees above the average of this time of year, but we will see a lot of the warm so it's been lingering around the north of china. start to ease temperatures is set to come down here over the next few days. and it's a similar story for shanghai 14 degrees celsius on thursday. well, still had here on al jazeera, an invasion without a plan. we looked at the u. s. decision to disband. iraq saw me on the impact. it's hard to decades old. also why mexico's push to go green, it's fueling of with, with us oil and gas produces as it's whole, that could be a new role. francis woke up star as his team targets a 3rd european title. ah,

the latest mean as it breaks from for it's still the favorite here among the grass roots and, and many of the polls the be the republican presidential nominee with detailed coverage fire has swung the spotlight back on the struggles based on daily basis by everyone here from around the world, fire that and go to the 1st to cause of this trade was so hot. it may have cremated the victims exactly where they were killed in a post colonial world. the scars of european imperialism run deep. nowhere more so than in the democratic republic of congo, where her history still shapes the president of visceral, yet intimate insight through the eyes of a whistleblower and a patriotic military commander. witness presents. this is congo,

honor jesse evo, lou ah, book a back here watching over. there is news out with me. so reminder of all top stories, japanese prime minister, cuz she does the writing team to the ukrainian president. baldwin, soleski. she the 1st trips to ukraine and russia invaders a year ago. and the chinese either teaching thing is in moscow and meeting russia present vladimir putin and prime minister in congress that she has invited them both for a return visit to china. later, india. that's cost over to katrina you with very latest from beijing and katrina really is the 1st full working day where each party can really see where the other

one stands of the president. she a chance ready to set out his agenda. that's right. and according to china, she's agenda is one of keith's that he is a global statement in russia doing what he can to end the war ukraine by commerce, in dialogue between both sides. it would certainly be a major winter waging if she is successful in bringing pretend ambulance to the go chasing cable. and he's certainly trying to capitalize on the success of the recent piece deal broken by the aging, between saudi arabia and iran earlier this month. but there are a lot of countries which are skeptical of china as well, which is trying to says it's neutral. but because of strengthening ties with rogers since the invasion that had some questions raised about that we've seen since last year and increased number of joint military drills with moscow and awful trade has fallen between the aging and moscow. it's now to the tune of $190000000000.00,

and much of that is cheap oil and gas. that paging buys from russia. now the us has more in the world, not to be fooled by any plan that she is able to come up with that any sci fi, a deal that we could buy. beijing will simply active free. the games that russia has already made in crane. and earlier this year, washington accused china of allegedly considering providing russia with military and eating hor, her pain. now this is something that china has denied, but unfortunately for aging, the u. s. is not the only skeptic here. there are also many european countries for watching this and not sure that she is really going to make any significant impact on the war. and she has tried very lightly because not only does it need, of course, to preserve its relationship with moscow during this trip. it also wants to preserve the good type of you because it needs a good economic train. so in that context, really what one does,

how this is all being told to the public back home in china. i mean the visit is, is high profile, very high profile. i have with me, huge chinese take me the newspapers, the china daily, and the people daily pictures of a smiling she did paying and lot of front page news on both of them. same have little websites, magazines around aging and around china today on tuesday. now there are 3 messages really that i've seen, they need to be pushing over this trip. the 1st is that she didn't thing is a, bring her a quote. when it comes to this more in train because of wet and the u. s. haven't been able to solve it. invasion lives have only made it was the 2nd message is that strong. russia, china twice a mutually beneficial and important for the security and stability of a multi polar world. one article said that china,

russia ties cornerstone of regional stability. and another said that it was an example of harmonious relations between 2 worlds, powers and the 3rd message, i think that i've heard here from beijing, from the foreign ministry, and certainly from the official organs, is that aging find itself in a situation where it's increasingly pressured by nodded, states and western allies to take more unfriendly turn with russia. and he's trip is a symbol of trying to strengthen independence. because in the face of all this pressure from russia, from the u. s. and west china is simply not yielding. could you do that for us in beijing? thank you for more than 800000 people have been full from their homes in eastern democratic republic of congo. the m 23 grapes seize his territory and breaks agreements to withdraw. many in our living and unsanitary camps, around the city of goma. why not brick of cholera is affecting hundreds of people. malcolm web reports now from the lingo camp irina mas and

a is the 100 and 35th person to walk into this cholera treatment center. today's, it's run by the charity doctors without borders in a camp for displaced people near the city of goma. every now can barely walk or talk section start with clinic diarrhea and if on treated can end with that. it's already killed. 8 people in the camp children are the most vulnerable to shattering machinery manners. 3 children are infected young manion on the dog. i saw that my children started vomiting and became very weak when we brought them here. we found that they were suffering from cholera. they're still very weak and the treatment is simple and effective. if it's provided in time. most patients i'm in need re hydration and can recover within days. all of these tens of full of

patients and doctors without borders said it, putting up more as the number of cases rapidly rises. outbreak is between research . we've seen a growing number of cases. we're not averaging over 15050 and the numbers from now here in this camp longo and also across the road initially dollars will and go camping time to about 100000 people who fled the n 23 armed group. as it ceased, territory from congos, government forces in recent month and $23.00 widely understood to be backed by neighboring bewanda, one to deny that many of the people here say they run away when and $23.00 fighters executed men and rapes women in their villages in mississippi territory and 23 denied committing atrocities and fights with the mounting evidence. entire communities fled then now struggling to get by and unsanitary conditions. it's

raining almost every day here at the moment the ground is wet and the sudden becomes cramped. the shelters is squeezed. close together. this is one of few toilet facilities here. there's only one toilet for around every 500 people sprang disinfectant can help to prevent infections for the medic say, the cholera outbreak won't be stopped until the sanitation is improved. there's not nearly enough clean water for drinking, cooking and washing. humanitarian agencies installed for tabs, but it's only about assessing what needed rapidly growing population here. back at the treatment center doctor say they expect everyone here to survive. others, he's fled to new comes that, don't have medical facilities, may not. it's a health crisis that can easily be ended, if only there's enough help. but one that would never have happened is people here haven't been forced from their homes. malcolm web al jazeera lingo,

democratic republic of congo, both sides. if you have a conflict to reach an agreement to exchange detainees, to talks in switzerland. there's been an increase in diplomatic pressure from the un and western countries to try and, and the fighting of late. many analysts hope the steel could help in the efforts to find a lasting piece. jane has more in geneva, a major announcement, warring sides in yelman's conflict, agreeing to free nearly 900 prisoners national can can. we had great hopes to reach this number and we were also to terminal to reach this number 16. this is the result of talks between the internationally recognized government of yemen and her with the rebels. i mean, with assistance from the united nations in the international committee of the red cross and l. a. le, toughen as to denver little s s v agreement is excellent, and it is an essential step for the release of all prisoners and detainees. he did it him 3 remark for all those involved. the deal stands as an expression of hope

and then we will open. we have a level of trust to meet all the parties are involved in these release. ah, we have this unique partnership with the un in yemen, and i have no reason to believe that it won't be a success in a success which needs to happen as soon as possible. the prisoner swap is part of a un mediated deal agreed upon in 2018 known as the stock home agreement. the exchange of around 15000 people detained during the conflict, has been under discussion as a major confidence building measure ever since. but progress hasn't come quickly. any resolution, any progress in establishing a comprehensive end to the conflict? or really requires agreement among the emmys themselves. a lot of people are looking at the saudi, iranian, or agreement. as of perhaps an important step. the conflict in yemen is widely seen as a proxy war between saudi arabia and iran. earlier this month and beijing both countries

agreed to restore diplomatic relations. and while there's been no official confirmation that the prisoner swap was part of that deal. tensions between outside backers of the mean factions and yemen, have since lessened the hope now that a deal could boost broader efforts to end a conflict that has created what many called a humanitarian catastrophe. 8 years of fighting have left millions of people facing poverty and insecurity. and with food shortages wide spread malnutrition among children is soaring. while a you and broker truce last april has largely held it expired in october without the parties agreeing to extend it. leaving many to wonder if this latest step will help towards creating a permanent piece. a hammer, jim jerome al jazeera, are 2 decades. all many rockies are still criticizing how the united states invaded their country without a plan. will what they say. all failures was the decision to disband the iraqi army

. a lot has changed since that including the rise and fall of security forces on the emergence of new threats. we do warn you that hasn't been jarvis report from baghdad, contained some disturbing images in the battle of a rack. the unanimous stage and our allies have prevailed. the iraqi army essentially was dissolved either they were killed or they've gone back a back to their homes. one of the 1st decisions the us led forces made after invading iraq was to disband the country military, which used to be one of the largest in the middle east. 20 years later, the country is still dealing with the repercussions. one former commander of the re constituted forces, viola, it was a calculated move. as for carol, a leader, it was the worst decision. it led to the destruction of a rock. we are paying its price until now. i think the decision was deliberate. a lack of forces enabled months of robbery. the rashid military camp was the biggest in the middle east, and there was an estimated theft of 810000000 weapons,

such as the one that by my products are the reformed in part to this us led coalition forces and demanded their withdrawal, sectarian fighting, but been cheers and sundays was one of the results. it killed tens of thousands of people. the chaos lead to the rise of armed groups such as alk either an iso and the newly formed army fled when i sell fighters took mosul iraq 2nd city. only to later unify which he, a militias at the forefront to liberate almost 40 percent of the country now took on iraq. our favor been was tower. one of the biggest problems was the relation between security forces and citizens. now iraqi security forces sol, loyalty is for iraq and the military enterprise, regardless of their sectarian ethnic or tribal affiliations, is an international coalition, comprising more than 80 nations has helped rock to rebuild its armed forces and counter threats from armed groups. the international coalition which came together

to fight against, i feel, has taken a much smaller advisory role now as the rocking forces they, they are confident that they can defend their own homeland, but questions remain about the powerful, malicious and sectarian forces. 20 years on the threats have evolved. don't check, and without any doubt, the biggest challenge in iraq is drugs law. we're trying to eradicate the rising drug trade. then there's a challenge of electronic, unorganized crime. terrorism now comes 3rd or 4th, after the development of our security forces on the retreat of the terrorist groups . according to what in battery threats have changed and the forces protecting iraq have been rebuilt. but many people here say they still don't feel completely safe. we'll go from a job with other viero baghdad. a few days over all could recall it last baghdad and re settled in mosul. rebuilt her life as a diary fall known as a story. i knew had a holiday. i was born in baghdad in 1991 and lived there until the fall of the city

in 2003. we moved to hammered and here in mosul, we had a normal life. i got married to a farmer and got accustomed to the lifestyle despite originally being a city girl. thank god, we lived peacefully after we left baghdad. as a christian minority, we feel we're always in the line of fire. then came 2014. i still attacked ours and took my father. we fled to her bill and then lived there for 3 years. we felt we were dead, and all my sisters have left iraq to live abroad. my mother travelled with my elder brother, she couldn't stand losing her lifelong companion. how could she live without him? we lost faith in iraq. i told my mother that i would return home, but if i saw that everything was destroyed, i would not stay. when i went back, i saw everything had been taken and my house had been burned down. i couldn't stand the situation. all i thought about was to leave with my husband and children. i just wanted to leave. i was afraid and it was not easy. i saw had already taken our

house once as a housewife. how could i stay at home without my husband, who spends most of his time at the farm? we hardly see him now. how can i stay alone? but step by step, i began to rebuild my life and make it successful. the farm and the cattle with millions of dollars were all gone. we had to start from 0. first. i bought cows. i started with food that increased to 30 in the last 2 years. there's been no rain, so we had to sell some cows to buy fodder. now, i've 7 a ton of forgeries, about $700.00 and only lasts 2 weeks. the food and agriculture organization of the united nation is supported me. it's encouraging they support rule women who are mostly voiceless in iraq. they supported and motivated ours and they're like one of us now. they, it is to produce a few types of cheese. they're usually imported and now we're making them here. now i have my own dairy farm. i make a few dairy products. i'm thankful for the renewed hope which enabled us to return

. there is no better place than your own homeland. i intended to leave, but now i have my own work place with 6 more women. they help me make the dairy products, and now deliver to baghdad and her bill. some of my childhood friends saw me producing dairy products, and they were so happy about how i have changed my life. iraq has a bright future, but those empower, don't know how to leave the country. this is our rack. there is no other place like it. those who govern us don't do it in the right way. i'm optimistic about the future. god willing i will see my own children. follow my success story much. but please new york, her timing security as the city braces, the possible criminal charges to be filed against donald trump. before me, you as president, posted on social media that he expects to be arrested. the suite is in connection with alleged hush money paid for adult film style. stormy daniels by transformer lawyer, michael cohen cable i was on to has more new. this is the center of the political

world right now, at least here in the united states. we're in this court house behind me here in new york city. there is a grand jury that we believe is in the final stages of making a decision if they will bring a criminal indictment against donald trump. if they do, it would mean trump is the 1st president ever in us history to face criminal prosecution. the manhattan district attorney has been investigating trump for several years. the case revolves around stormy daniels, a former adult film star, who claims she had an affair with trump and threatened to take her story public right before the 2016 election. knowing that the embarrassing claim could derail his presidential campaign. trump allegedly had his then fixer michael cohen pay daniels $130000.00 to keep quiet. but as part of that payment, the grand jury is investigating if, whether trump also falsified business records,

which would be a felony. police and new york had stepped up security. trump denies all wrong doing, but his called for his supporters to take to the streets in protest should he be indicted. as a potential indictment looms immediate attention has increased its indicted. trump would need to turn himself in, and the spectre of a former president walking into a court house to surrender to authorities is something that would have never been seen before in us history. it's important to point out that even if trump is indicted, it does not necessarily mean that he is guilty if he's indicted. it would go to a jury trial and it would be those jurors. they would ultimately decide if he's guilty or not guilty of the crimes. he is accused of. now, if he is found guilty during a later trial, the prison term could be up to 4 years in jail,

but there is no mandatory prison required. and most independent analysts say it's highly unlikely that trump would ever serve any time in jail. for this case, gabriel is on. i'll just eat a new york us climate envoy john kerry is visiting mexico to look at ways the country can speed of its transition to clean energy. but mexican goal of energy independence is flowing. i move towards renewables is also fueling of rift with us . oil and gas produces, model rapids has the towns from mexico city. i mexico's president and it is manuel . nobody's over the lord wants his country to be energy independent lang approach. you know, in the coming year we will push his gas or other boat to fulfill his promise of energy, self sufficiency, president lopez, or whatever has doubled down on investments in domestic oil and gas production,

for 10 new industrial parks that will harness wind energy along mexico's trends. is me corridor, while critic say president lopez over that seemingly contradictory attitude, some have even called it double speak when it comes to fossil fuels, and renewable energy has put the country at an energy crossroads policy. experts instead argue that pressure from the united states under the u. s. mexico, canada free trade agreement, or u. s. m. ca has force mexico to slowly open in stores to private investment unit. all of this pressures under private companies and the potential sanctions that could derive from all of this have led mexico to change course. though, current policies in mexico have prioritized energy independence nationally. experts warn that it's critical for mexico to look beyond its political disagreements with the u. s. in canada, for the sake of a more integrated north american energy market. one that can also meet the regions, long term goals for sustainability. miserable al jazeera mexico city. but
