8:01 pm
trapped in a migrant detention center on fire. 38 people were killed. ah, i'm about this and, and this is our da 0 life until hop. also coming up a historic milestone, the un general assembly adopts on landmark resolution that could allow the world's polluting nations to be held accountable for failing to address the climate crisis . after ray or public criticism of israel by a u. s. president, by mr. benjamin netanyahu says a compromise is possible and is overhaul of the legal system and observing ramadan and june, somali as a records drought, a report on how people there are breaking their foss with little food and water. ah, we're going to begin in mexico. weather's anger over the death of 38 people who died when afar tore through
8:02 pm
a migrant detention center. this footage obtained by the reuters use agency appears to show uniformed men failing to unlock the doors to allow migrants to escape from burning cells. the cell is seen full of smoke as men kick at a locked door on the smoke rises and officials in uniform. a seam walking away upon cli leaving the doors locked, mexico's president said those responsible will be brought to justice and furious. protesters including families gathered outside the center. they blame immigration officials and gods for the deaths on tuesday, president on for us, manuel lopez of the daughter said the blaze was caused because some migrant set fire to mattresses after finding out that we're going to be deported. ortho to fornicate that i can for you to all of those people who died. the guards could have opened the gates because there was only a few meters between the gate that separated them from the migration office. they didn't open the gate, leaving them locked in the fire bonds and they didn't leave. they didn't help them
8:03 pm
because they didn't feel like it. the gods treat you badly. escalate among rob, hello, and mexico city. my mom, we've just been watching some of the pictures that have been released talk us through the security footage. a rob outreach continues to grow here in mexico following that video that has been circulating all over social media. it's sparked protests in the city of you that what is here in mexico city. just now behind us of activists of conduct convened a demonstration to protest what they're calling the inhumane condition of migrants in these detention centers. if you've seen, if you could see these images that were obtained by reuters, that, that show the moments as that fire was spreading inside of that migrant detention center after migrants allegedly set fire to 2 mattresses, protesting what they may have believed to be the possibility that they would be deported as smoke and fire does bills that detention center what you're seeing on
8:04 pm
the other side of the bars is guards essentially doing nothing. at no point. do you see the guards even coming close to the doors, making any effort to open the doors to allow the migrants to escape that fire that ultimately claimed the lives of 38 people. 29 survivors were taken to area medical centers for treatment. but as, as you can imagine, this outrage is not just here in mexico anymore. we have heard from mexico's president, under espanol o bizell, but i thought who has said that he's promised that those responsible will be punished. but we're also now have since heard from the secretary general of the united nations. and the new debt is who says that he's calling for an investigation into what happened. but again, the anger here in mexico is still very palpable. this is just one of many protest taking, taking place across mexico over again where people are calling in human conditions of migrants at these detention centers. yeah, the gum of government is you saying is promising justice and accountability,
8:05 pm
but in practical terms, do we have any idea what that could mean? mexico's president of the mexican government and generals under a lot of pressure right now from civil society calling from count ability despite the fact that president love is over, though it has said has promised that those responsible will be punished. he hasn't given any details exactly as to what those punishments might be, but again, that pressure that the government is facing the criticism that the president is facing, is rude in the fact that this government, from its onset promise that the treatment of migrants would be more humane that there would be a policies that would treat migrants from central america from south america, from any part of the world coming to mexico, as brothers and sisters. despite this rhetoric from the government, what we have seen over the last few years is that these detention centers are being used more. there's migrants are being detained, more than in previous administrations. and what sets this case apart from other accidents that we've covered here in mexico, when it's
8:06 pm
a freight truck full of migrants that tips over and there are casualties from that or cases of human smuggling. is that this case involves migrants that were being held at a state run detention center. so the, the default, the accountability ultimately falls on the government. so that more than anything is what's really fueling the outreach here in mexico. by all, thank you very much. indeed, that's monroe right below talking to us from mexico city. and the united nations has adopted a long walk resolution asking the world's top court to define the obligations of countries to combat climate change. while our diplomatic editor james base is joining us now from the united nation, so this is being called a historic decision. but one would imagine the important part is how it's going to work in practice. yeah, it is of, i think all campaigners say it's very, very important. they are using that word historic. it's worth telling you rob, that in the general assembly there wasn't actually a vote on this. there wasn't a vote because there wasn't any objection. no country objected. and so it passed by
8:07 pm
consensus, welcomed by the prime minister venue are too, they were the country that had been negotiating this behind the scenes. he told me that i can now say to my kids and kids all round the world leaders of the world are listening to their concerns. of course, his country venue are 2, is one of those countries. his whole existence is threatened by climate change and suffered a cyclone, devastating cycling earlier on this year. and it's interesting that the original genesis of this resolution came from students last students in our new are to who were in a class project discussing this. and that class project eventually led to this resolution has gone through today. immediately after it passed, i spoke to the un seconds general antonio terrace. he said it was a big victory bart un inside his will also tell you in as always a but with these things that yes it went through with all those countries. i'm agreeing with it but that privately they don't believe they all really do. and it's
8:08 pm
just that no one really wants to put their head above the parapet and be the country that objected to this. and so what some campaigners are saying to me as this now goes to the world's top court. the international court of justice expect when that court takes delivery of this and starts its deliberations, lots and lots of countries to put in their national submissions of how they see this. and i think what, what people are telling me is that they fear that some of those countries, the big carbon emitters, are going to try and put in those submissions. the idea that the court should be very narrow in its focus when it, when it delivers. it's ruling on this, and the other thing to tell you of course, is that although this is gone from a classroom pro in 2019 to a general assembly resolution pretty quickly, the international court of justice will now look at it and it knows that it is the whole way to the general assembly technically agree with this by consensus, but the international court of justice is
8:09 pm
a place where the wheels run pretty slow. at our diplomatic editor, james base talking to us from the united nations. and somalia is one of the countries that's facing the devastating impacts of climate change this year. the muslim passing month of ramadan coincides with the longest drought on record, their rising fuel prices, food for harvest, and an ongoing war is making life even more difficult, like wilson sheriff reports. but as before, sunset, dozens of women line up for food in this camp for refugees. in somali as capital. they're hoping the volunteers have now theat. one hot meal is all that, how deep a duly mama will get. but it's worth the weight. the food will feed her 6 children, the family once own farm, land and goats in a village near the capital. but successive years of drought have forced them to leave. but my wife for either what game of my income i recall their amazon fast we
8:10 pm
had in the past when we were enjoying and prospering. however, this year we are living in a camp without plastic to cover us from rain without food to eat, thirsty and experiencing jobs we had eat more. mud is among more than 1000000 somalis who left their homes in search of help. do you and says the drought killed an estimated $43000.00 people last year alone, whom it needs $2600000.00 to fund humanitarian aid here. but less than 20 percent has been pledged the country in ports, most of its food from ukraine. but that's been limited by the war there throughout the summer. if it's more likely that the family will produce compared to liberty drought, to caesar, that one of the main factor for the saudi in flight is for food and other political really to do so. my, the low sample i or who,

8:16 pm
lou. ah, you're watching or does it every one of our top stories this are just released footage from a deadly fired a migrant detention center. and northern mexico shows what appeared to be god's not letting migrants out of burning celts, at least 30 people were killed to the facility. the court has caught us. united nations has adopted a landmark resolution asking the world's top court to define the negations of countries to combat climate change was adopted by consensus after a full year campaign, led by the republic of underwater tension arising between israel and its closest ally, the united states over prime minister benjamin netanyahu is controversial plans to
8:17 pm
overhaul the legal system, following the biggest protest in the nation's history. netanyahu has delayed the proposed plan, but president joe biden, as expressed concerns and urged for compromise. netanyahu initially appeared defiant and said israel wouldn't bow to international pressure, but now he says he thinks a compromise could be possible with the opposition. like many chances were visual. i'm very concerned and i'm concerned that they get this free cannot continued on the road. and i go to made that clear, i hope hopefully a prime minister will act in a way to work out genuine compromise that was real and united states had the occasion differences. but i want to assure you that the alliance between the world's greatest democracy and a strong, proud and independent democracy, israel in the heart of the middle east,
8:18 pm
is unshakable. nothing can change that. let's bring it out as it is political analysts, my will be shot of joining us life from london. my one is a lot of speculation, of course, on what netanyahu is going to do next. but how much does job biden's advice to walk back from these legal changes? actually can a box netanyahu into a corner at a point when he is trying to make some sort of compromise of claims. he is because he doesn't want to be seen to be capitulating to the u. s. president. well, yes, as you said, it's remains to be seen, but clearly there is a bit of a qualitative difference in, in tone and in severity. in am the american president her tone to. busy busy word so these are the prime minister you know of. but if somebody didn't always prided himself to be a christian, but the zionist and a very close friend of nathan, yo whom he knew since the mid 19 eighties. believe it or not when nothing.
8:19 pm
yeah. was both in washington and new york working as a diplomat. but the question today for a for by didn't became are you friend of nathan? yeah. how are you friend of israel? is the united states, a friend of a prime minister or of a country where it invested some $150000000000.00 over the past several decades. and i think that's up today or yesterday. it was clear that by didn't needed to take some action and come out to the open and say that what's coming down or what's going on in his job is not acceptable to united states. because it is a contrary to presumably the democratic principles on which the 2 countries relation is based on. so yes, that went corner nathan. yeah, that would push him further to try to figure something out. but i think it's the question is, is for his detractors and for the oppositions in israel,
8:20 pm
what that they would accept to make a compromise with him, or they sense that this is perhaps the time to bring him down was in a glimpse, at least to some of the comp kinda compromises that netanyahu is prepared to make it to my bank via the security minister has been told that upon me he is going to our proposals are going to be put forward for the national god that he's been pushing for. but are there any indications at this stage that we're actually seeing a balance of power changing in the coalition, and that, that power is at least to some degree moving away from benjamin netanyahu. this is a very good question. by the way, i would say it's a $64000.00 question in the sense that we've only noticed that the, the former defense or present defense minister who basically spoke out against nathan, yo and, and his presumed reforms. and his kind of strange that none of the others are
8:21 pm
although there are reports in the israeli press, that in fact there are a lot of detractors now. and that nathan here, how could lose his leadership within that he could party. now this is important for a number of reasons. i tell you what, because if not, then how goes it doesn't mean it's going to be all dandy and well for israel and for democracy or for the palestinians, for that matter or for us is regulations. but what will be essential is that this, this barrier to a coalition among the secular, right? the center, right the far right in israel without the religious and the fanatic zionists would be possible. and i would say the following between israel, between no and blue and white party lecount i, we will, we, we and, and of course are of what the 4th party we would
8:22 pm
have a majority of 7474 members. and they are all willing to come together only if nathan yell is removed from the scene. so i think there are a good number of possibilities now that israelis within the cood and within the acquisition could start thinking about that they after nathaniel. and by the way, that part there was a 3rd party hodges, it was a political on a small on bushes as always, mullen, thank you very much indeed. and the occupied westbank of palestinian charles been wounded after his really suffers attacked. bedouin families near ramallah near abraham is insipid, and spoke to the palestinian families who survived the attack. members of this palestinian family were asleep when a group of settlers attacked them in their bedrooms. they say they woke up terrified just before midnight, to rocks being hurled at them, and settlers attacking them with pepper spray w meridian, jani,
