and always the racism is so deeply entrenched in the country that is identified with america. so when you challenge racism, it looks as if you're challenging of merit and demand the truth. there is no serious discussion about this because it goes to the very root of who we are up front with me, mark lamb on hill on al jazeera. it's a $1000000000.00 money, no drink operation for coal mafia is bigger than the company with financial institutions. regulators and governments complicit. and what is this? is it right? i've described that in a 4 part series. al jazeera is investigative unit, goes on to cover in southern africa, pittsburgh. we can fill 90 percent of the government. once it's refined, it's practically brand new. good part one are now to sierra, ah,

search efforts are underway, off to tornadoes, killed at least, 25 people in the southern us state of mississippi. ah, i'm carry johnson. this is al serra live from. also coming up more than 2000 migrants and refugees arrive by boat on the italian island of william producer in just 24 hours. israel's defense minister calls for a hold on applying to judicial, overhauled as protest, continued. you out. gallant says the dispute threatened national security and a near miss in the works. asked troy with a capacity to take out the city is set to fly by us. ah,

ah, at least 25 people have been killed by tornadoes that swept across the southern u. s. state of mississippi dozens more injured. the powerful storm system was accompanied by thunderstorms and rain. tens of thousands of people in mississippi, alabama, and tennessee remain without power. she have returned to the reports. the town of rolling fork in the rural mississippi delta took a direct hit from a tornado on friday night and accounted for the majority of the casualties. such was the power of a toy. later daybreak was reportedly trained thousands of meters into the air. we got the muzzle held them in to get people. not a can afford the time. probably tomorrow we will fool count all the damaged people in place. daylight revealed a town devastated around the 3rd of the residence here were reported to have lived in mobile homes. a state of emergency was declared in the western mississippi

counties struck by the storm and across the mississippi and alabama. the reports of leveled, buildings over town, cause down power lines and trees. given the scale of the destruction there were fears of death to could rise. search and rescue teams were deployed saturday morning to find those traps. we lost everything. got outlined. told them we were multiple reports of tornadoes amid the storm system and the national weather service and investigative to ascertain whether many of those reports were for the same tornado tracking. ne, across the region for over 130 kilometers. we can think that it's only one single tornado tracking over a very long distance. but as the damage surveys are conducted, they can see those missing points between tornadoes and determine if it was one long tornado or multiple large tornadoes produced by the same storm, which is equally as impressive. 20 they see. so it's only just beginning in the

south and already they have been several devastating incidence meteorologist say this storm system was fueled by the extreme weather patterns and high ocean temperatures that have become so common. now, as climate change bites she ever time see al jazeera or edgar o'neill is a storm chase. he says a lot of families in his community have been affected. plead devastation homes, completely level business is leveled. i mean, it is, it is a for real disaster seen there right now. i mean, it is very bad. the community has really gathered around each other. we were, when we are just through there. i mean, there are people like selling barbecue food. can people volunteer to help go through rubble, cut down trees, people handing out water everywhere. so the communities really came together last night when we were there right after the tornado happened. there was a little bit more people walking around and just complete shock. we were on that storm just 30 minutes before it hit the town and it was just the rainstorm. so

within 30 minutes, that thing went from being a rainstorm to a violent tornado. and when that happens at night, it's incredibly difficult to, you know, to actually even see that, you know, if there's one on the ground a right now it looks like there is a lot of help. i mean, a lot from the community. i seen tons of medical personnel, all of law enforcement, was out there as well as like the firefighters. and then, like i said, there is a massive amount of people with just that live in that community that are they are helping each other. former us president donald trump is holding a campaign route in waco, texas. trump is facing possible criminal charges and mixed polling ahead of next year's republican primers. many of his die hard supporters say that legal threats are nothing more than a witch hunt. that on top of that is for maybe a possible rest of this week. and i think that's just the far left again, just another attack on donald trump and they're getting very tiresome. and

again, donald trump is for america. any fights for american our leaders, former spanish, and portuguese speaking nations, attending the i barrow american summit, one rising inflation and migration or risks to the stability of the region. the host american republican, costa rica, also called on the international community to take action on haiti, which is facing a political and humanitarian crisis. gangs control large areas of the country or latin america added to lucia newman is in santo domingo and has more that he does discussion on security and haiti. hey, to you as you will. as you, of course, know, was a former french colonies, though they speak french. it is not a part of the ide bureau american club, but yet it was very much on the agenda or at least in the speeches that are being made by the heads of state at this hour a, a 1st costa rica came out and absolutely said that the only solution to

a country that it described as a fail statewide 70 percent of the capital is controlled by criminal gangs, was to send in foreign troops for an intervention is what he called for. he called worried immediately and this was followed by an interruption by the president of the dominican republic, the host president, who as you know, the dominican republic shares the island of east by noah with haiti. and he made a plea for the united nations security council to meet immediately. also saying that the only solution was to agree to the petition by the president of haiti to bring in foreign troops. he said that it wasn't possible to ask the dominican republic to send improved against its own neighbor, but rather that this was a responsibility for the entire world that it was a global problem that had to be tackled on a global scale. however, many of the other heads of state there, while they didn't actually criticize this position,

we have heard off the record that they do not supported. they also point out that previous military interventions in haiti have only led to worse and worse problems in that country. and have not resolved the issues that haiti faces in the long term . what's also on the agenda is the problem of digital inequality. the lack of access to the internet and to digital technology. there have been, there apparently have been agreements made that will help in that score. the other a big issue was hunger and with the gold food insecurity, which has risen dramatically in latin american parts of the caribbean. since the pandemic of they also were talking about democracy or the lack of in countries such as, for example, nicaragua, chili's president, was very, very, very strong. when you choose to the president of the corolla being a dictator. and he said that the only way to resolve the problems of democracy was with more democracy. it's not with less of it. so other countries disagree with it

. in fact, this is a meeting of countries that have a lot in common, but they also have tremendous differences which are being heard as i speak. iran that says the u. s. strikes on iranian back to groups in syria. we'll draw a quick response. the u. s. military carried out strikes on friday against targets linked to iran and syria. those followed a drone attack that killed an american contractor injured 5 soldiers on thursday. the u. s. has played down an announcement by russian president vladimir putin, that he will place tactical nuclear weapons and better roost. routine said he struck a deal with better ru student present. alexander lucas shanker, that doesn't violate nonproliferation agreements. russian media is reporting that moscow has moved 10 aircraft to better routes that are capable of carrying nuclear weapons. for the u. s. department of defense as it sees no reason to adjust its own strategic nuclear posture. and others,

no indication of usher is preparing to use a nuclear weapon, but more than 2000 migrants, some refugees have arrived by boat on the hudson olive limp reduce in just 24 hours previous years. have seen high numbers of a rivals, but never this early in the year. the coast line of sax into nicea has become a major departure point for those heading to europe. meanwhile, at least $34.00 people are missing off to a boat, carrying mostly african refugees and migrants sank of the coast to nicea on friday . official fates the 5th boat to think off the coast in the past 2 days. let's take a look now. the numbers of people trying to make the journey. in 2021 in 2022. there were more than $6000.00 refugees and migrants who reached italy by boats the 1st 3 months of each year. but in the same period of 2023. that number is already 4

times higher, more than a 3rd of those arriving this year come from just to countries ivory coast and guinea. veda is a syrian refugee who crossed the mediterranean in overcrowded small boat. he shared his story of survival, recalling all these memories, now it's 9 years later, it's still not the easiest. but in general, what happened was that the 1st few days where where okay, yes, the small, small boat was kind of a problem, especially with that amount of people on board. we were around 100 refugees, different backgrounds, some syrians and some addictions. and the boat was 15 meters long and along with the crew, want to call them back to people basically driving this boat. and we were not given

an exact date on when we are actually. ready we were giving the probability or percentage of the survival rate, which is 60 percent. so we got on the, on the boat knowing that there is a 40 percent chance that we will not meet over. we filled it after 6 days and the see actually to exactly 9 years ago that we called the coast guard after facing a form. and the small boat couldn't handle it anymore. and it cracked down. and with that, the around midnight when he says of marsh 14, it was the best moment of my life when i knew that it's not going to be a certain day that we so life. and we knew that the coast guard is on their way to save us and they did. ready and that was one day before reaching italy,

so on the shore officially was worth it. i found a better life, but that is only individual. i can only speak of myself, but we know how many people, unfortunately don't, don't make it, which is a huge percentage. which is terribly sad and i would say to think about everything more than one more than twice if there is a possibility that life could be better than do it. if there is another way that it can be it that your desired destination can be reached without facing these consequences, it's much, much better. but after all, like we said, there's the thing that you wouldn't do anything unless you have been going through something worse. is ready forces of, stormed alex, a mosque to arrest a number of worshippers. on the 3rd day of ramadan, a keys, some palestinians of barricading themselves in the moscow to pres,

had ended. many worshippers from the occupied west bank are also prevented from re entering the mosque. thousands of palestinians attend pres every day at a lot so most. during the whole month of ramadan, i survived the still ahead on al jazeera, more protests in israel, as thousands rally against the government's proposed judicial changes. and the california is covered in snow of 2 weeks of wet weather. that's cause havoc across the state. ah frank assessments, this tricky provides us with this hopeful moment where countries could come together and stop putting in place the rules and will allow us to treat this global commons with the attention it deserves. inside story on al jazeera, brought forth the law a will. the law, when with neither side, willing to negotiate is the ukraine war becoming

a forever war is america's global leadership, increasingly fragile. what will us politics look like as we had to the presidential election of 2024. the quizzical look us politics, the bottom line. or they know me laugh at us with pushing with one or 2 global perspectives. mm. oh.

human to huge transmission. the world health organization says that marburg virus kills about half the people it infects, but the fatality rate can go as high as 90 percent. there are no vaccines or approved anti viral treatments at the moment. or benson moran go is a public health specialist at oxfam, kenya, he says, my burg spread is associated with travel and is cause for concern when to come in. government is doing is i'm mostly, it is actually heightened, diminishes full screening a what centers of should, encouraging people who are actually presenting the symptoms to, to go fall on the treatment and management of the nearest tell facilities. the detection can only be done through level 3 measurements, so through investigation. so what is holding coverage is that any person actually

presenting a delay fever and bidding them on history of travel to tanzania to actually present to the facility who can actually take it farther into deliberative investigation. to actually distinguish relates to my book virus or any other disease. it's easily spread from human to human. it's actually close associated with their, you know, travel. so that's what, that's what chiles, what is the disposing extra risk. and that's way really concern because of the human traffic between king it turns into gamma and morsel because of the, you know, informally, you know, porous borders on the lake on the land. people are really wanted because this is the 1st time under specific getting, getting we've not had this maybe no other plant in other countries, a specific kind of actually had expert on this. but in kenya we've never had a guess of veronica diseases. so people are really concerned and last that you have to be concerned because they because is highly contagious.

tall, have been shoveling snow from their driveways, andrew top for the past 3 months. so this year our biggest challenge has been trying to keep the snow off the roofs, obviously, with over 50 feet. now it's thousands of pounds of weight on our roofs. some of the roofs are collapsing and having issues. so we've all been very, very busy trying to keep the snow off our roof. send off of our walkways while skiers will enjoy an extended season on the slopes. the unusual and record breaking long winter in california has left some anticipating sunny days and warmer weather . but they may have to wait a while more snow than the forecast for the greater lake tahoe area. dean of our clay and jersey. now astronomers have identified a sizable asteroid there or passed close to earth on saturday. it will fly between earth and the moon. scientists say it could cause major damage if it hit our planet, but due to its path, there is no cause for concern calling. baker expense. a tiny dot,

moving at nearly 8 kilometers a 2nd. this asteroid won't hit earth, but it will come really close. asteroid 2023 de said to was discovered in february by astronomers in the canary islands in spain. it's 50 to 100 meters across big enough to cause significant damage to a city and bigger than the media that broke apart in the skies over russia. in 2013 the next tonight, when we could recover and then follow up these objects and automates came up. and we did realize that it's something to video if that object would have come 19 hours later than probably in 3 years from now. when we would really had an impact but thanks to the new of savings. and so some. busy pre covered data by year to american surveys. well it's. busy busy eliminated from the list,

d said to is one of thousands of rocks in the international astronomical unions catalogue of minor planets. you can see it here. it's orbit intersecting with earth right there. that means it also joins massive century program, which is an automated system that keeps an eye on all the known objects in orbit over the next 100 years diesel to is not a threat. and in fact, none of the objects in this catalogue are, at the moment, there are no known asteroids that posed known threats to the planet earth. there are more than 1000000 known asteroids from kilometers to meters in diameter. most orbit between mars and jupiter. we have new systems coming online again. an example is an american one called the atlas system, which has a very wide field of you and scans the sky rather quickly compared to the old fashion surveys. there more and more of, you know, professional and amateur i astronomers alike that use bigger and bigger telescopes and they just discover objects in the dish. shin to these professionals, surveys,

asteroids are rich targets for scientists. it has long been thought that they may carry complex chemicals formed in the quiet darkness of deep space. and just this month, japanese scientists found evidence for that in the dust that was collected from the asteroid re hugo and returned to earth. it contained yourself, a building block of renee, one of the molecules essential for life on earth. astronomers use these near misses by asteroids to improve their abilities to spot the small rocks that could one day pose a threat to our planet con baker out 0. and you can find more news on features on our website, just head to al jazeera dot com that sits from me for now. the news continues. herron al jazeera after inside stores stay with us. ah
