a pushing with one or 2 global perspectives. mm. ah. at least 40 people are killed in as strikes on a village in central me and mar. ah, i'm sammy's a dan. this is al jazeera alive from dell hall. so coming up the u. s. in

philippines launch their largest joint military drills a day off to china, completes exercises around taiwan. doctors in england, walk off the job, holding a 4 day stride to demand. better pay and working conditions. suing thailand's government, a group of people from the city of chang, my queues, politicians of not doing enough to clean up their ah, we begin this news hour with air attacks and men mob that have killed 40 people, struck the village of peasant gay, northern me amal thousands of people have also been injured, should worn off views. he may find some of the following images to be distressing. of those attacks happened during the opening ceremony of an administrative office in the village. on tuesday morning, 252 jets dropped bombs on the village and then helicopters carried out the 2nd

attack. rescue workers have shared an audio message from one of the emergency responders on the scene who get a low need a we had to stop for treason, bodies, and the rescue mission. as they came back with a helicopter, an attack, the site, again, 3 risky workers die during that. with that, now that the helicopter is gone, we are reviewing the retrieval of bodies. i'm joined now by tony chang for more on this. so tony's help us trying to understand why do we know why government forces launched this attack? we don't and we've had no response from them despite trying to contact them throughout the day. but this was an office set up or by the local administration of the pdf, the peoples defense force, and the n u g. that's the government in exile are very opposed to the current ruling military genta or i guess the military for,

from conversations i've had with them in the past when attacks like this have happened. they've said these are legitimate attacks. but from what we understand that there was a ceremony at 7 45 in the morning to open this building. a large crowd of more than a 100 people had gathered, including many women and children. they wanted to talk about social welfare and village affairs that were going to be sorted out in this office at that time jet fighters or hit the village, job bombs. and then immediately afterwards, am i 35 gun ships i came and a take? are those 1st responders who you heard from earlier? they told us that they have confirmed faulty dead, but they suspect that final toll will be considerably higher. the problem is they can't identify many of the bodies because the attack was so violent that many of the bodies had been dismembered beyond recognition. they've also had an awful lot

of trouble getting into the air because of those following attacks. and apparently 3 1st responds were killed in a 2nd wave of attacks that came a one p m local time in the afternoon. so there remains considerable chaos, but it does appear to be one of the serious airstrikes we've seen since the military q 2 and a half years ago. all right, and of so as a question of that, this is not the 1st act of virus, shall we say we've seen in the last few days put it into context for us. absolutely not. well, along the time, broader and eastern time, and we've seen the tanks between government forces, government allied forces and the forces of the ethnic current groups. and as forced more than 10000 people across the border into thailand. we understand the tunnel authorities are trying to persuade them to go back. there have been other error tags today,

including one in chin states which in which 9 people are reported to have died. and this isn't increasing tactic being used by the military. couple of weeks ago, i was in the capital navy door, the armed forces, day parade. and the generals that we're very proud of the jet fighters that they've got mostly imported from russia, had gun ship helicopters from china and russia. they played a major role in this sort of huge show of force. and of course, those forces that ma'am, on those med, most military is fighting on the ground, have no air force tool. so they really control and challenge the skies and forcing that force is being directed against civilians on the ground. or tony cheng, they're from bangkok, thanks so much of the philippines and the u. s. of launch their biggest joint military drills over 17000 military person. i will take part in the exercises over

the next 2 weeks. washington and manella recently agreed to resume joint patrols in the south china sea. the deal also gives us forces access to for more philippine military bases. they include one, taiwan design, good china barnaby. lo has more now from manila, this jaime here. the international community definitely will be watching closely these ballot them exercises as they're coming off right off the bat of 3 days of military rules by china in the taiwan strait in response to taiwan. president hygiene was visit to the us also later today a 2 plus 2 ministerial meeting between the philippines and the u. s. in washington, d. c. on monday, a u. s. worship sailed near the miss. cheap breed where china had built a manmade island. but this area is very close to the philippines. so a lot happening in this region, definitely heightened tension so you can understand how these exercises could be

seen as provocative. but keep in mind that these exercises are an annual exercises and they have been planned for months and months. still. timing here is very significant to scale. also very significant. 17000 troops, 5000 from the philippines, pop 1000 from the u. s. and other 100 or so from australia as well as observers from other regional allies, all participating in these ballot then exercises. also for the 1st time life fire exercise act seed in the south chain. the seat of the properties of some bias in the northern philippines. there will be a simulation of the sinking of a decommissioned ship, which will serve as a market enemy ship. richard. hi, dan is a senior lecturer in international relations at the university of the philippines. he says the military drills are part of a joint effort to deter china from invading taiwan, the pension iran taiwanda. we try and conducting large exercises there. but the

other one is also the philippines, p putting away from the more aging friendly foreign policy of previous president data and now under very good on market. junior, the philippines is emerging as the new star ally of the united states is emerging. are the people, the element of the u. s. integrated variance strategy against china. there's a lot of re alignments happening here. so everyone has been discussing the australia united states and u. k. the august submarine deals the audit trail lots and that is going to get back to the japan philippines and us, i call that the job was a lie. and so office in job was they're part of what the larger groupings coming out, australia, philippines, japan, us, all of them have one thing in common. look them are about a joint effort by us in our lives, to deter china invading taiwan. this is not to provoke china, but to deter trying to raise the cost of an invasion of 51 because i was extremely important the world economy. and it's at the fact that i left the states not to

mention just to close to the philippines in japan, are to ignore as far as europe is concerned, there's a lot of inter nunnery alignment happening very so our understanding over the past few years that the united kingdom out of you, clos, netherlands, germany, bronze, all of them have been expanding their military presence in this part of the world. there was an understanding that a european powers in america will kind of be in lockstep in sending a strong message to china. but president minor microns recent visit to china, where he talked about strategic autonomy, where he seems to play down the potential role in stakes for europe. and it comes to tie one issue that is kind of jumbled things. i think that has kind of shuffled things, but putting micron in front of site. i think there's an understanding that more of european towers more or less share america's concerns in this part of the world. those drills come a day after china finished military exercises near taiwan. 3 taiwanese military

boats are patrolling the month 2 islands after the defense ministry reported a chinese warships around the island bay. jing wrapped up 3 days of military exercises, practicing encirclement of taiwan. on monday. i was president saying, gwen is defended. hell visit last week to the u. s. during which she met with us. how speak a kevin my coffee about how as a president, i represent my country to the world, whether i visit our allies or transit in the united states to interact with our international friends. and it is not only long term practice, but also the common expectation of the people of taiwan. however, china uses this as an excuse to launch military exercises causing instability in taiwan and the regional un secretary general. antonia good tab it shows arrived in somalia for what is office is describing as a visit of solidarity. during the month of ramadan, somali is facing its worst drought in history. 5 rainy seasons have failed. half

but whether experts say the rains will not be enough to make things better. the rain started earlier than expected this year. i saw that early onset of the rain means that most of the people who are displaced from the farms, their farms are not being currently tended to or, or have been from that news. the production may be affected because before these people, some of them tried to grow buckley of arms, possibly by time, will be on the 2nd week or the 3rd week of the renaissance. and there will be not enough so much data to take on there. the rest of their crew to maturity. this means most of mileage may be making their way to such camps. the un secretary general will be in the country to help mobilize humanitarian support. the un secretary general, antonio gutierrez will meet a with the president, somalia. he will be talking to displaced people the last time he was here. ah,

frank assessments. justice means give them the basic human rights, not only in the camp, but also inside the me, a map informed opinions. 5 administration are very concerned about this development especially, or what it means for china's power on the world stage. critical debate ended up only both the legal report or the see the 3. i think you got a proper 3rd in depth analysis of the days headlines inside story on al jazeera. from the al jazeera london broke authenticate to people in thoughtful conversation with no haste and no limitations. this deputies of most consequential decade in events is dull for too many companies that are doing bad things in the front. in part 2 of human rights activates q me 19 and environmental if we known and the teeth, the systems are not working, but the longer that you fight them, the more that things change studio be unscripted on al jazeera

ah al jazeera. where ever you oh, oh. oh, orca back. hey, al jazeera time to recap our headlines now. at least 40 people have been killed in an ass strike on a village in normandy and mar. dozens more were injured in the attack on tuesday morning. it happened during the opening ceremony of an administrative office. un secretary general, antonia garages arrived in somalia. establish says the un needs more money to be

able to ramp up its humanitarian assistance. in the horn of africa, somali is facing is worse drought in history. and the philippines and us of launch their largest ever joint military drills more than 17000 military personnel will take part in the exercises over the next 2 weeks. tens of thousands of junior doctors have walked off the job across england. they're demanding a 35 percent pay rise to make up for years of wage heights that didn't keep pace with inflation afford a strike is expected to be the most disruptive action taken by staff in the history of the national health service of villa marks joins us now from outside saint thomas is hospital in london, does it look villain like the numbers are picking up and just trying to peer over your shoulder? there are no, not really sorry. there's only

a small number of thought, just picketing here today, but of course they're fixing right across the capital city of the u. k. and many other towns and cities across the country outside hospitals like this one. this strike affects what's known as junior doctors, but those might be individuals that have just left medical school right up to those with up to 15 years of experience. they belong to a union called the british medical association. and that absence from staffing roaches will have a very, very significant impact, as you just mentioned on the ability of the british health care system overall to provide care. i've been speaking somebody thought to live the last few days. and they've said that, of course they don't take this action lightly, but given the challenges that faced their man, that colleagues, they still seem to feel that it's necessary for a british junior doctor like ash macklin daugherty free time away from what is rare and far from relaxing, she's a cancer specialist with a young child at home and she's currently struggling to pay her bills and britain's

capital. also, it's most expensive city. when on way he put him in the morning. worried about the patient. i've just been giving came therapy. say i want to, oh say fatal. i, i don't have to also wake up worrying about the credit card bills and gas bills in the energy any the things everyone else is wearing about as well. thanks. in part to these financial pressures, she's joining tens of thousands of other doctors in strike action that starts today . it's the 2nd strike this year with the medical union that represents young doctors demanding a 35 percent pay rise from the government. after years below inflation wage increases, the role macklin daugherty says, due to the government spending choices you k health care is like a thinking shift for if you're in a system where the war the crumbling around and which i think is very much linked

to pay cut you then get to have a kind of critical points where you have to either stand up for what, what you believe in and or you just accept and leave such stress as driven thousands of british doctors out of the profession or into depression with some even considering suicide, according to zaid on the jaw. they struggle with nice too, and mainly due to the lack of resources now and the conditions under which they have to work. and that's been exacerbated by the pandemic. on the jaws, the medical director of an organization that treats doctors with mental health difficulties and says many of their problems, the systemic given reduced resources and stop shortages. a lot of excessive workloads and working conditions. worry about making errors, worries about causing hom worry about not being able to provide what it is that

you've felt you could provide going into the profession. but at rates and british medicine will high before the pandemic, the precious now driving them even higher. many doctors feels strike action is the only remaining recalls to help the public and politicians realize these problems are real and require rapid resolutions. or i will what's going on with negotiations, the government trying to find the compromise will sammy won't. the government have said over the last few weeks as these numbers being put forward by the british medical social union have been made public is that the numbers are unrealistic. they're not going to pay them 35 percent more. those numbers of course, based on calculations going back 15 years about where wages could be had the government increase those wages in line with one measure of inflation. so it sounds like a lot 35 percent, but when you look at what they were adding 15 years ago,

it's not quite so high. what's really interesting, of course, is the, the be a, may the union here saying that their members feel undervalued is not that they go into medicine to be wealthy to make a lot of money. but they feel that without increases to pay and given the pressures that they face as you heard. and in that story we just, we just shared with you. there is a real sense that the retention, the ability to hold on to young doctors to encourage young people to enter the profession. here in the u. k. is getting incredibly difficult with saying large numbers of doctors leaving the profession, some of them going overseas to work. and of course, that just adds to the pressure that the existing doctors, those that remain in hospitals like this one face on a day to day basis. i me. all right, thank you so much fella. marks there now a democratic politician expelled from the u. s. state of tennessee. the legislature has been reappointed. nashville city council voted on monday to san justin jones bank to the state house to fill the vacancy crazy by his own removal. republican
