back after being battered by pandemic restrictions. the tongue told the annual ball forum for asia, the china is opening up to the world and delivering reforms to revive growth. he used the opportunity to urge asian countries to work together for peace and stability in the region in charles, up the same as this year's annual conference and uncertain world solidarity and cooperation for development and challenges is highly relevant to our times and responsive to shape concerns what it is of a strong practical significance in a world of turmoil and transformation humanities faced with unprecedented challenges. instability, uncertainty, and unexpected developments have become the norm. amid the momentous shifts where uncertainty abounds, people use for more and stronger forces of certainty to drive the world to a brighter future, which have kimball has more from hong kong, political and a financial lead us more than 50 countries around the world gathering on the southern chinese island of high man for the start of the bow,

our forum addressing the start of the event chinese vice minister of foreign affairs leave out don't. so this is an opportunity for cooperation at a time of increasing global instability. he pointed to concern over a financial crisis and energy crisis inflation and the ongoing war in ukraine and said, this was a time when cooperation was needed. more than ever. economists say this forum is an opportunity for china to try and seek cooperation on the financial front, particularly with asian neighbors at a time. and it's trying to promote both itself and the asian region as an economic safe haven off to consecutive banking crises in the us. and europe have royal global stock market. political analysts also say this is an opportunity that aging to try and present itself as a credible place for these types of cooperation deals to be broken at a time when it's just been trying to promote itself as a global peacemaker. with regards to the ongoing war and ukraine, the challenge for china, se analysts is being taken seriously on that front when there are many big

countries, not in attendance at this bow, our forum and trying to is facing increasing scrutiny over its own role in global instability particularly at a time when present change and pay has just return from a controversial visit to russia to meet with russian president vladimir putin. and when ty one's president dying, when is currently in the united states, much to the anger of aging on her way to a diplomatic tour of central america, where china has been trying to broker its own relationships with countries that have until now had a relationship with taiwan, all of this is playing on the political and economic landscape for china. and that's why i always say this forum is an example of one way that china is trying to reset things and get a better balance of how it's deceived. globally, by organizing and promoting events like this, one of his era in hong kong, mccaney gerace as the former italian under secretary of state and a specialist on china's economy. he joins us now from the blau forum in high nam get to have you with us. how is it that is the mood beat? after all the co videos?

do you see 1st time that the meeting is held to 100 percent in sensor? we have a very strong presence from both the asian and the european companies. you. ready time companies, we have a end of state federal government from both asia and europe. so the more these in the beat and talking to various people, member of governments and the ceo's, i think it could be an overall desire from everyone to really talk about peace and to be slice. it's too long, 3 years of cali than war. so i do feel their anger on positive a positive action, so it's the overall a very positive environment hearing. wow. what was the tea that boil is being compared to and says and devil's forum. it's very business centric isn't the same there. in hina, it's a little bit more political in

a way we have to very mind to an agent or a saw. the style of course, of the debate is also different than the one we're used to seeing that there is a lot of happening offline in terms of relationship. but as you know, many, as you can see, is not just the china do appreciate the wincy your travel back here. so in a way, just being here, he already created some good. we'll add that to then that the managers and the government will need to monetize somehow. and i've personally met again the people that i was in touch a couple of years ago. and so, and very interesting to read, create a different style. but equally, i think, a practice, one criticism that does surround pool, ours is too heavily influenced by the chinese government and used by a committee party to further china's economic interests. would you say that's fair? no, i don't think so. we had the i just spoke to brain minister over spain,

the sanchez, we're very happy to be here. he did say he's open to investment it within the rules of international reciprocity level playing field. get the media singapore who emphasized prime minister again with the sizes from relationship with china, saying for the prime minister over malaysia. why ivory post is on disease or not the chinese forum. it's hell, the china just like that was he's not the sweet form by it's a waste and driven form and the town is preserved. prime minister, he addressed the for me, made the message very clear that china is open for business. how desperate does china need that business after the cove it is and with its current rift, with the us, china needs a external business, sir, less than less than a year. let's remember that the 10 years ago the a racial export to g b was more than 30 percent of today's below 20,

around 80 percent, to sign away. china as a, almost danny, it's on a ratio, explores with external demand, which is much lower than that of germany equally far down. so it is, of course the china does want to trade that that wants to do investment, but it is not relying on it any more as it used to be the pastor, the goal now for these are recovery, ballistic demand. and we do see, for example, domestic to reason, booming and as well as consumption because of course, so after a couple of years of negative growth that they're rebound, either relatively easy and the focus of lee china that has made a very thanks the speech has been one of the more people are world to so not a jew, monica, he did. the of course imply that this is not the area of the colonial east. the western countries have done over the last 2 months and years. and this message has been accepted. the end,

the received the very well i can see here the do see of course there are smaller players in asia, but to saw is europe compare for example to the united states. and this is that tricky thing, that kind of needs to balance its strength and, and making sure that it's a win win for all the parties involved. for example, i can't guarantee renting specie thanks for taking the time to join us on out of there later. thank you. bye bye. the ferry carrying nearly 250 people has caught fire in the philippines, killing at least 828 people and was on its way to hollow town in southern salute province. when the fight began just after midnight, several people are still missing and search and rescue efforts are underway. but that include at least 3 children. authorities and mexico have opened a homicide investigation and identified 8 suspects after a fire at a migrant detention center killed 39 people. prosecutors say the suspects include 2 federal agents, a state emigration official, and 5 members of

a private security company present under his manual lopez open a door initially blamed migrants for the fire. and a video. a show is what appears to be guards, not opening locked doors as the fire spreads. the blaze broke out and set out. juarez nearly us border. john hallman has more from mexico city. this is to see she tv video, which is shocked. mexico inside a migrant detention center. a mexican official and security guard whoop by justice . flames. take hold inside the cell of migrants locked up under their care. it was a blaze this monday night, which ultimately killed dozens of people. the majority of them guatemalans, they been detained and held and see it at qualities ride of mexico's food with the united states. now, protest president, under his men will lopez or brit daughter had said on tuesday that they themselves had started to fire and protested their upcoming deputation. but a wednesday with the video coming to light,

he was forced to confront allegations that his own governments officials appear guilty of the worst kind of negligence, letting people die e j. so thinking there will be no impunity, those responsible for this painful tragedy will be identified. they will be held accountable and punished in accordance with the law. later in the day, the mexican attorney general's office requested arrest florence for several people in connection with the fire. in c dot, what is mooney? was this now, and as the names of the dead were bred out, cuz would just be that referred to by me again, or get it every migrant has the right to be safe to be protected. not to be mistreated or violated by any authority. because we are not criminals. there been tensions within the buddha city for weeks caused by the large number of migrates from asylum seekers gathered there. some launching celtic pushes to try to get into

the us disrupting local commerce. while authorities have been accused of using heavy hand, attracted to round them up and get them out. but this isn't just an issue for what is there. we're detention centers for migrants across the country. i. there's a small protest here outside of mexico's interior ministry. but this has been an issue for some time in the country migrant detention center, which migrants himself an activist of described as little better than overcrowded prisons. the reality is, the mexico, his relationship with the united states depends in part on its stopping migrants from getting through and to its powerful nor the neighbor. so the detention centers and deputations will remain. but tragedies like this one raise yet more red flags about the attitude and treatment woods the migrants had within them. john holman,

oh, does either miss brucely or some migrant say the far as pushing them to make it into the united states sooner rather than later? hundreds of mostly venezuelan systems crossed a bridge and approached the gate to enter the u. s. border city of el paso. others cross the rio grande river and were met by armed american border guards. bell jack, you are missing to say, i don't feel safe here. immigration is running around and i'm afraid that immigration will stop me and that the same incident that happened that fire, it will happen to me and they won't let me leave i family and venezuela, and i have more children in venezuela. how do i feed and send money to my children? if something happens to me here, get him on another phone. we want to go to the other side. they should listen to or say something to us. what are they going to do with us? i mean, what else can we expect? they already burned us alive, so to speak. they could have saved those people and they didn't. in the united states to army black hawk helicopters have crashed during a training mission in the state of kentucky. it happened and trick county,

the status of the crew is not known, but kentucky's governor has tweeted that fatalities are expected a new un resolution well asked the wells top court defined individual countries, climate change obligations, 130 member states back a call from the pacific islands of van, who are to for legal opinion from the international court of justice or damascus, that james page reports a historic decision that campaigners say is a major step forward for climate justice. you so the cider no vote was needed. the general assembly deciding by consensus to was the world's highest court, the international court of justice to determine what obligations countries have right for the climate damage they've cost, or trusted in climate injustice feeds divisions and symptoms who penalize global climate action. so exigencies for those on the front lines already paying the price

for global he'd think they did nothing to cause glamour. justice is most of vital recognition. and the tool recognition that all people on our plan is out of equal worth. and the tool to be resilience against spiraling climate impacts. the efforts to negotiate this treaty were led by the pacific islander venue or to this was the end of a very long campaign. how did you feel in that very, very happy person, because i can assure like kids and the kids around the world, the leaders of the countries of this local community actually listening to the plight of the future of this, of the future of mankind. the small island of anyone who suffered devastating sight clone early this year, highlighting the fact it's

a country that's whole existence is threatened by climate change. the original idea for the un resolution actually came from law students studying here. the university of the south pacific, one of them was cynthia, how you, he it, it's, i still can't believe that we've, we've gotten this far and it's, it's, it's a meant to a lot of, you know, the determination that you have it, the cement to, you know, when you moved by genuine content, not only for the future, but the future generations yet to come. at the end of the meeting, the un secretary general told me it was a big victory. but un insiders say, even though this resolution passed by consensus, there are some major countries which have a problem with it. and they expect some national submissions to the international court of justice. in an effort to narrow the eventual ruling of the judges james

base. ouch is era at the united nations? well, the european court of human rights has begun hair and ground breaking cases against france and switzerland. they're being accused of failing to take action on climate change. thousands of retired swiss women say it's damaged her health. the other case involves a french former mer. he says, climate change puts it his home at risk of flooding. it's both in ocoee beasen. it's proven that we old women are particularly sensitive to climate change. the excess mortality has been shown because we got sick a little bit faster due to heat waves than older men or other groups to lawyers. something is onique. we have been fighting for years. we went to the federal court, but they said we couldn't object. so we've come this far and i hope the court can role in our favor so that switzerland does something better than has done so far. fella has here on out as era drones of robots and automobiles. southware shows of shiny new electric tech at his annual mobility show. and this is an opportunity

until the annual boil. forum to asia, the china is delivering reforms to revive growth. a fairy carrying around 250 people has called far in the philippines, killing at least 28 people. several passengers are missing and search and rescue efforts on the way dead include at least 3 children. a mexican authorities have identified 8 suspects and a fire that killed 39 as a migrant detention center. suspects include 2 federal agents, a state emigration official, and members of a private security company is where a prime minister benjamin netanyahu says, a compromise on his controversial judicial changes could be possible. he paused the legislations for talks with opposition parties earlier this week. and proposals of sparked the biggest protests in israel's history critics, where the changes will heard the independence of the judiciary and give more powers to the government notices or occasion differences. but i want to assure you

that the alliance between the world's greatest democracy and a strong, proud an independent democracy, israel in the heart of the middle east, is unshakable. nothing can change that inflation and a currency that's lost. 90 percent of its value mean, many lebanese can't afford basic meals during this fasting. month of ramadan, the world bank ranks labrenz 3rd and the world for food price inflation. then hotter has more from northern level. i am one of the hardest hit regions. few in lebanon are able to pay for a full cylinder of gas. it costs $12.00, and that too expensive for most people struggling during an economic collapse. the price has more than doubled for those who earn in the local currency. and that's d valued by more than 98 percent burg darby about army, the alpha and po $4.00 worth of gas. that is what i'm able to afford today for

cooking gas has become a luxury for lebanon's poor. they've turned to outdoor wood stoves. the crisis has dampened the spirit of ramadan. a time when muslims, fast from dawn to sunset, the right or no man, i'm in vietnam, life has become difficult to learn more. so during ramadan, we don't have gas, we can barely afford food either. unemployment is high. one and a half 1000000 lebanese, that's nearly a 3rd of the population, rely on assistance. if i want to get bread, i will pay at least $50.00 times. more them are velocity in the past of the price. and that's only the bread people have been forced to change their diets and even the for to show valid a main dish of ramadan is unaffordable for most and young men. but i do because we no longer eat meat and chicken, we know over eap, let us or to matter. prices have more than tripled since last rama. my dates are

among the traditional items, no longer available for the if star meals. when muslims break their fast food and energy prices have sword around the world, but in lebanon, the financial meltdown is worsening. the crisis, the world food program says food prices 11 on have increased by 2300 per cent says the source of the economic crisis 3 years ago. the country is rank 3rd globally and food price inflation by the world's side. these sweets are some of the popular deserts during the holy month. shop owners stay sales have dropped by 50 percent compared to last ramadan. i see that the prices are much higher this year because of the local currencies. devalued exchange rate and we import almost everything in dollars in the international monetary funds. as lebanon's prospects were getting out of its deepening financial crisis is grim if the political class continues to

fail to act. and it warns the country as heading for hyper inflation. so there else's either northern lebanon, that's where it is, parliament and energies to bill that paved the way for a referendum to recognise indigenous people in the constitution. for the 1st time, the government calls it a new chapter in repairing the relationship with the 1st nations people. but those are called divisions. clock reports from brisbin. if not now, when an emotional prime minister unveiled the wording of the question that will go to the australian people later this year, flanked by members of the indigenous community on thursday, those words were tabled in the nation's parliament. seaman history. i trust the australian people to understand that this is an opportunity for a better future. not just for the 1st people sort of struggle. but for all astronomy. if australia votes yes, in the proposed referendum, but only with the constitution be amended to recognize the 1st nations people for

the 1st time. it would also enshrine an advisory body to parliament, made up of aboriginal and torres strait islanders to guide federal policy. but some lawmakers say the voice is symbolic only, and australians should vote no black people in this country been calling out government for 200 years on what i can be doing better for. and we still have no justice and i see the voice and giving us justice. center to thorpe is one of 11 parliamentarians who identify as indigenous australians, the nations federal parliament. australia's aboriginal population makes up 3 percent of the nearly 26000000 people. critic say issues like racism and aboriginal dis in custody needs to be prioritized. we have black body east and dying hands of the system. and we asked solutions to

i this catastrophe crisis that's been going on. again. first nations paid for far too long. that this government and the previous government just are not interested in implementing constitutional lawyers remain divided on whether this could lead to government decisions being challenged in the nation's high court. it's possible they will be high court matters arising out of this, but you'd have to side that's entirely normal. we are looking at putting words into the constitution. the high courts job is to interpret the constitution. this is the 1st random beheld in 24 of the 44 held of the last century. i have been successful. the prime minister says this legislation provides a one to generation charts to rectify the last referendum is expected to be held in october clock out 0. 5 frances has spent wednesday night in hospital where the respiratory infection after complaining of breathing

engineers are working on ever faster charging stations, so more people switch to electric. honestly, there is definitely potential, as the development of electric cars is rapidly progressing. so is the charging structure and services. and it's not just cause this event is now rebranded from a motor to a mobility show because the same advance is an electric vehicle technology on now transforming every moving thing we make from the robots around us to the machines. flying above us also being showcased are the kinds of economists flying taxis that could soon be filling us guys with south korea planning on the 1st commercial services within a couple of years. rob mcbride, al jazeera, at the sole mobility show. ah.
