a brutal crackdown. it also led the suppression of rallies in khartoum in june 2019, in which a $123.00 people would kill the contention stem from disagreements over how the 4 should be integrated into the military. the army. it says it won't negotiate with the group until it's dissolved. if morgan reports from cartoon ah, heavy fighting spread through her tomb. as tensions between the sudanese army and a powerful paramilitary force spill over into the streets. i'm out of the army says it's defending itself from attacks by the rapid support forces across the capitol. it's now designating the forest as a rebel group. now we, the army did not initiate any fight. we were present in our command and we were surprised with the attack at about 910 this morning. coupled with an assault on my
12:04 am
residence, the army did not deploy or make any movement. the army headquarters and presidential palace are under the control of the general command. we do not wish to see this country slipping into war. however, we must teach a lesson to any non regular malicious. but the rapid support for us to see their bases were attacked by the army. oh yeah i you, this battle will pave the way to a peaceful solution. all those criminals will stand trials. i cannot give a time limit to the fighting. however, we are adamant to end, it was the least of losses. ah, all flights have been cancelled at the bottom international airport where armed men are on the tarmac and rapid support forces entered state television therapist for danty v a bad. my i had to san were monastery. no. this was the moment the decent broadcast was cut. the 5 thanks. i think just been confined to the cap if there's been violence in north and south star for west and north cord to find faith as well
12:05 am
as murder. we in northern, put them both sides, claim control of major facilities there and in other areas. but so far, it's been hard to confirm who has the upper hand tension between the army and the rapid support for his m. a month after may 3 take over in 2021. and behind him when talks to integrate the recess into the army stalled. i really feel very sad and very angry actually i'm in rage and i see i see a 2 bed. most of them chairman your boss of you. you have been in cascade or this grid devolution. and are you already committed an incentive? speaking in vietnam, u. s. secretary of state anthony blank and said washington would continue to support to dance transition, to a civilian lead government. it's a fragile situation. there are other actors that may be pushing against
12:06 am
that, that progress. but this is a real opportunity to finally carry for the civilian la transition. and one that we and other countries are trying to are to bolster people across sedan are bracing themselves for more fighting a new crisis and an uncertain future heap. morgan, alta 0 or 2 or the rapids supports forces claim they're in control of several military sites across cartoon, and the rest of the country, although the sudanese military disputes this, the susan, these army has released this video, showing it soldiers that army headquarters in khartoum to prove its in control. the armed forces of also launch attacks on the rapid support forces at the corral re military base is on demand. street fighting continues of cities across the country . if a morgan st. this update from cartoon the army put out
12:07 am
a statement saying that it will not negotiate with the rapid support force of until those forces are dissolved and the rebel. a troops are dealt who have so it looks like, despite the fact that people have been calling for a de escalation of the situation here in the capital and across the country. the armed forces look like they're going ahead. with dissolving the rapid support forces and continue to attack, they've already labeled the group as a rebel force. and we were seeing a continuing of fighting here in the, in the area of hotel near the vicinity of the presidential palace. we can still hear shout being fired. we can hear heavy artillery being fired. it's not clear yet who is in control of the presidential palace, but the army says it is in control of the headquarters. the state television is being battled over both sides, wanting to gain control and consume international airport at the moment looks to be under the control of the armed forces. what's happening here in the capital of an indication of what's happening in various parts of the country as well. and the
12:08 am
city needs forces are in control of the airports in the outlet that's in south dar for that. they've taken over the army bases of the rapid support forces in blue now states that in the southern part of the country and that the rest of forces have surrendered in whites mile state in west dar for however, we understand that the rapid support for the have taken over the airport and whether we is still being battled over matter we air base is still being battled over between the army and the rapid support. 4th is still around the country. the 2 sides continue to battle for control or sidney's army, as well as pro democracy groups have long demanded. the rapid support forces integrate into the regular armed forces is estimated. the power ministry force consists of about a 100000 fighters, but haven't, has more on the group. ah, that up it's support forces are pa military fighters, mainly from dot for. the, our staff was created by a former president omar bashir in 2013,
12:09 am
to stabilize the war torn region in western sudan. and more broadly to consolidate his personal grip on power. he was concerned about any security institution being strong enough to overthrow and challenge him. so he allowed, you know, he allowed basically a proliferation of different armed groups and centers of power within the country. and what the origin of the force goes back to 2003. that's when president till the she had created an arm and a tribal militia to crush a local rebellion in the west. a force became known as the hunter, wheat sedans. comptroller general loved the taliban, was instrumental in creating and training both the done to wheat and later the other. seth, he worked in the field for years with his now deadly rifle hammered hampton douglas known as mattie, the commander of the artist, f. e. 2019 the 2 men joined forces to overthrow or model the ship and were hand headed the transitional military council and had done douglas served as his deputy
12:10 am
. but the other staff continued to grow in both sides and means by some estimates it now boss, 100000 toughs on it. it took on several rolls, including border security and maintaining law and order cross with an activists accused ourself of participating in the killing of $123.00 pro democracy protest as in june, 2019. but it's how much is aspirations for unrivalled political leadership in cartoon that led to dis, called with his ally, albert han and paved the way for the current situation. differences over the terms of integration of the asset into the army intensified after the signing of a framework agreement that lead the foundations for the transitional period in december, 2022. the failure of 2 on this and other issues finally led to what observers have been warning about and all our military confrontation practice group was warning
12:11 am
just 10 years ago. you know, while bus year was still in power, that if you ever left power, one of the big concerns would be that he left behind such a mess in terms of the military insecurity. that a huge risk was that these parties would themselves turn on each other as ever, explicitly in population, but pay the price palpable fear of the current conflict may prove more deadly and more destructive than any. so that has witnessed in the past 100 fine. i'll just deal with more in this, i'm joined in the studio by edward thomas, a fellow at the rift valley institute, and i robi based group that links researches with local people. he's worked extensively and sudan, welcome to the news hour. we've of course, heard both sides accuse each other for starting this latest violence. but what's your assessment of how this will begin? well, almost 2 years ago, these 2 sites work together to organize a coup against a civilian government or
12:12 am
a transition of civilian military government. and since that qu, they have not been able to find a framework for inclusive, you know, participation of other political forces. they haven't been able to come up with an answer to, to dance hunger problem. it's poverty problem. and over the past 4 months, they've been trying to negotiate, trying to clued other political forces and they seem to have reached an impasse earlier this month. and it seemed like there's so many impasses in sydney's politics, but it seems to be one that has led to a very, very dramatic turn of events. and i guess, i don't know which one actually started it. i was very surprised to hear that the r s f, a deployed in med way in northern sudan, which was an area where it didn't have so much of a presence previously. and i think that they,
12:13 am
they, they, they may be, they may be, they may be the leader of the areas have may fear his exclusion from the process. or he may, may believe that he can win a quick victory. and given that the, the 2 groups have been able to, awkwardly get over their differences in the past where the position now with the army saying that the sub should be completely dissolved. that doesn't bode well. a solution here does it? well, there's lots of unprecedented moments and sit down. there's lots of unprecedented things, but this really is unprecedented. previous crews have happened fairly blood leslie and quickly. and victory has either been assured or the crew has been put down very quickly. but we're in a situation where the 2 sides are facing off in the capital city. and a big issue for them is air power. who can control the air because the recess
12:14 am
traditionally hasn't had an air force. and that's why they're fighting over airport . the latest we're hearing from the army is that they're launching the surveillance operations in various places and how team, for instance, what do you read into that surveillance operations? are we talking about ariel strike? say, do you think? well, there have been aerial strike today, this. you don't really know you can't verify the things on twitter, but you see a lot of, of, you know, video snatches on twitter showing that plains are bombing the, the city helicopters are buzzing over it. there's been trains and counterclaims about the recess controlling different parts of the city. his it's actually 3 cities. it's where the 2 nails meet. so there's an, you know, that it's, it's relatively easy or it's easier to control one or, or 2 of those courses civilians paying the price will, if they're stuck in the middle of this horrible upsurge in violence. of course this
12:15 am
poses a direct threat. so this ultimate goal of a transition to civilian move. absolutely. yeah. i mean, horrifying to read today that 25 maybe 27 people have been you know, reported dead as a result of the crisis today. they seem to the 2 armies seem to be fighting each other, but you hear report. oh, they've put a machine gone. my auntie rufe. how much longer can that go on before the aunties get killed before the children get in the firing line? saying that, do these groups command much support amongst ordinary people? no, they're, they're big mil, powerful military entities that consume most of the wealth that's generated by food . nice people buy sudanese worker, say they don't that they have there's some loyalty to the army and even to the r s f because it provides pay to people to hundreds of thousands of people. so many,
12:16 am
many families depend on them. but i don't think that that, that loyalty to the paycheck goes very much further into affection or a respect. let's see how this unfolds in the coming hours and days. edward thomas from the risks rift valley institute. many thanks for joining us. thank you for inviting. are coming off on this news hour from london, ah, hundreds more detainees from yemen. conflict are released as part of a major prisoner exchange c san an heavily on marines patrolling the beaches. mexico deployed thousands of troops to protect his tourism hotspot. sport, it's been one of those hands on your head days for dormant and where found the latest from the bundis legal title race coming up? ah,
12:17 am
now the warring sides in the conflict in yemen, i've released more detainees on the 2nd day of a major prisoner exchange. this is the latest group who, who te, prisoners to arrive in santa. the red cross says more than $800.00 detainees from both sides to g to be released by monday. the exchange is part of a broader diplomatic effort to end the 9 year war. santa guam bit us live. we will hand either 20 prisoners including 15 sadie military mamms. we will receive $250.00 detainees. i belong phase, and probably the committees, as well as citizens who were kidnapped saudi arabia. they're also receiving 100 placements who were taken in the western problem. i see a lot of the lash. are there any? thank god, what i'm feeling is indescribable. i've never felt like this in my life. it's like i was reborn. like i know it. i am as mm hm. mm hm. but only earlier, my name is ahmed mohammed ali ali, an eel from raymar governor. i was held at alba,
12:18 am
maria for 4 years. we were badly treated. another news now protests us, of return to the streets of israel for 15th consecutive week to condemn prime minister benjamin netanyahu plans to overhaul the judicial system. this way, the government put the changes on hold last month for that delay is coming to an end soon. the bills are due back in the israeli parliament of the end of april when it returns from recess critic say the amendments will hand power to politicians and weaken the supreme court or so soda was up. the protestant tel aviv even tens of thousands of his rallies are taken to speak to a protest against their governors plans to overhaul the traditional system. so the israeli government says that the supreme court in the country is becoming too much powerfully. and that's why they're coming with some suggested changes. so simply, the government wants to add the wants the simple majority of the parliament to override all the decisions made by the supreme court. and also the government wants
12:19 am
to be able to appoint the majority of the judges in the supreme court of the committee. the protested here are saying that it, that the police adopt that that's going to destroy the check and checks and balances and also the separation off the palmers. so and also they say that that, but they did that they have government is turning the company into a dictatorship. so they wanted to take the control from the dodgers. and, and we don't want to like, this is very dangerous because if the has been going to control every link, if it mean it's not them ready any more need to pick that. we all frame and we not agree. and we're going to fight from that. this group has to are taking place under the shadow of the recent pension and the ongoing crisis in the counter. however, many of the protesters here are saying that the ongoing crisis has purposefully
12:20 am
been 3 guard by the own government. and they said that the security doesn't come without the marketing miss white. this is not with orthodox christians who have been celebrating the holy fire east to ritual in occupied east jerusalem. but worshippers have been anchored by restrictions imposed by the strange police hope the order. abdul hamid has more holy saturday is the most important day in the calendar for the orthodox and eastern churches. now they celebrate the holy fire to the mass held inside the holy simple cur church . once you go down this alley here, and according to the religious tradition, well a miraculous fire ignite on this day inside the church, and that flame gets on pause to the worshippers and eventually travels overseas.
12:21 am
people here have been waiting since the early. busy morning many won't be able to reach the church at the moment, it only allowing christian palestinians from jerusalem to enter. and the rest of the people are not happy. all this because of access restrictions imposed by disraeli police about the right to worship should be guaranteed to every wall they impose restrictions to erase our existence the lead up did as they has been marked with tension. the church leadership accusing israeli police of infringing on the basic rights of worshippers. that's because the police has actually for the 2nd year in a row, kept the number of worshipers allowed inside the holy separate church to 1800. now, palestinians were allowed to get it from another gate, the new gate,
12:22 am
and the foreigners, the pilgrims who were made their way to jerusalem on this day, specifically to attend the mass where they were told to come here near the jaffa gate. and we spoke to some of them and so far, just that trickle was allowed in, we traveled, we had limited time and we came specifically for this. we wanted to see the beauty of the charge and the far just $1700.00 christian palestinians from god. there were also not given permission to attend to holy fire as celebrate. he says, now this all comes at the back of height intentions and another part of the old city in the l. x. m must compound. well, the church leadership says that the pressure christians are coming and there are very similar to the pressure muslim worshippers are coming under. and they say that the aim of this really is to alienate palestinians from the old city. those who are not allowed. and so the majority of the people waited patiently for the fire to
12:23 am
come to them outside the gates of the old city and of the hamid al jazeera in occupied east jerusalem. and he, 4 year old man has been arrested after an explosive device was thrown in the direction of japan's prime minister female kasheila during a political rally the incident in walk, a yama has shocked the country coming only months after the assassination of former prime minister, shin so abbey, and as japan prepares to host a g 7 summit from cory's hour, where the g 7 for ministers, amusing on sunday robin bride repose. ah, the attack happened as prime minister fumey oak. a sheeta was about to speak in support of a candidate in an upcoming bi election. there was commotion when some one through what appeared to be a smoke bomb from the crowd. a suspect was quickly wrestled to the ground as kasheila was hurried away by his security.
12:24 am
for every one in japan, this attack recalled last july's assassination of former prime minister sions obey again at a public event as he was campaigning. i know this is yolanda thought it was the same when it happened with former prime minister available. i was shocked that something like this happened again like saw look on as soon as you can get out if and we're seeing similar incidents. and given that this case with ca, sheeta follows on from what happened to abbe, i think people are reassessing the idea of campaign speeches. but anyway, i'm glad that cuz she days fine. cuz she has continued his campaigning, saying the democratic process must go on it. singular michigan can go unnecessarily manuel dowdy election to the foundation of democracy and violence like this cannot be tolerated during elections. i also instructed the national police agency books to ensure thorough protection of dignitary,
12:25 am
your toyota. this attack comes as japan prepares to host foreign ministers of the g 7 countries in the mountain resort. town of kero was our, which is now under tight security. in recent times, acts of violence have become extremely rare in japanese politics. and after our vase assassination, an investigation found that been serious flaws in the security provided for him. it's led to much greater protection for prime minister casita. it's tight on security, that's much more in evidence as he continues to campaign. robert bride al jazeera carol was our japan, at least 12 inmates have been killed during a riot and a prison in ecuador, and a warning these pitches contained some disturbing images. the fighting happened in the port city of guayaquil on friday since 2021. hundreds of inmates have died in prisons in ecuador, the government, blame it on rising violence between drug gangs fighting for territory and control.
12:26 am
mexico's government is deployed more than 8000 soldiers to guard beaches in tourism hotspots across the country. it follows a number of killings of popular holiday destinations. but as john holman reports, some conklin lamb may not be an easy fix. ah see, sand and semi automatic rifles. it's the new reality permits. coast top beach destination the caribbean, resort of conclude, a hot spot for spring breaking americans and european holiday makers. the one in which marines now got the beaches. the here for a reason and can coon, over recent years, crime and violence have been on the rise. for people killed near the beach just before easter, the late his flash point. british holiday makers, sophie, kirsty, a soaking up the raises the security forces pass. you just seen all of their the marines and the police come patrolling down the beach. what we think. yeah. but
12:27 am
a strange sight. i thought there was gonna be an altercation or there was something here or throughout something. the reason that uh, maybe preventative measures are definitely cautious and we were definitely like we were looking around at other people's reactions and seeing if anybody else is reacting and i'm a shave. other people were scared then we'd probably leave. but when you look around, it seems pretty normal. the presence of troops here has become normal. a battalion of the national guard is now stationed on this coast authorities. no, they have to protect the tourist trade. to do cause you think the images, this one would have put people off, but tourist keep arriving in kankakee, despite a real search in violence in this town over the last few years. ah, meanwhile, those living here are facing daily battles. if i am opening a new business in canker, what's the probability that i'm going to be extorted and it's gonna be like
12:28 am
5050. yeah, yeah, i think all the all the way in a man in the osgood line, common law for self army type of obstruction. only 5 percent of the business man ray. so he should know he's already had a restaurant destroyed by gangsters. can coons become a juicy prize for the biggest called tales in the country? they demand the business owners allow them, so drugs on their premises or simply give them protection money from those hawking inflatables on the beach for the popular bars on the strip. nobody's too big or too small to get out of paying may what bear the police say they're getting to grips with things yesterday. there was he doesn't want us to lancoste puget restaurant and who is it? businesses show that people feel that police are close to them and they can come to us when there's an extortion call, then we can follow up in the street while the state attorney's office goes after
12:29 am
the criminal organizations. but only one person in cancun has been tried and convicted for extortion and they're appealing and they're already close restaurants shops, knutson as yet, incipient trend, this money maker for the mexican economy want stopped before the tourist decides go elsewhere. john holman, how does it conclude? as still a lot more to come this up. familiar looking stole opens in russia after big name western brands pull out over the world. but it's not close enough copies for some customers to cycling freddie experts worry many, a mozambique who struggle to feed their families because of climate change. and i thought it's a good day at monte carlo for this russian tennis plan. ah,

especially given the social media means it should be postponed versus your legacy hall says mid i'm friends, but of i've, we're in our agenda i. so i'm going back to my country at some point, but even if i don't go back if my children were born here, so i wouldn't want my children to work until day. 64, that's too much. like when are you going to enjoy every time and you're not going to work for your life? by the time you enjoy your retirement, your dad to adulthood. now 62 years after its 1st nuclear reactor started operating, germany is shutting down its last 3 nuclear plants on saturday. the decision to phase out nuclear energy was taken by the merkel government at 2011 after the accident, the fukushima planted japan, opponents of nuclear, and she call it a historic day. others say it's an irrational decision. step for arson house, the story from neck of ethan. the last clouds of steam before this nuclear plant is taken off, the grid activists celebrate what they call a historic moment of the, of on the desk of the thought in the side of my additions. and it's great that we
12:37 am
have been successful, a victory after 50 years of rallying again for the call, a dangerous source of energy. the channel, the explosion in 1986, and then soviet union left to a wave of protest. radio active particle fell in germany and elsewhere across europe. the closure of the 3 remaining german plant, scheduled to shut down last year, had been postponed because of the energy crisis parked by the war and ukraine. germany remains deeply divided about the closure of the nuclear plants. the decision taken by chancellor la shows after political pressure by his school listen, thought the green has been cold, irrational during an energy crisis. and the recent survey suggests that 60 percent of the population wants to continue to use nuclear energy for now, 20 professors, a technical university, is filed a petition to reverse a decision. it will increase the c o 2 emissions of germany. and this is the
12:38 am
opposite of what germany has pledged. second, it will reduce the reliability of the german and nazi system and thought it will contribute to rising electricity prices, both for industry and consumers. he says, the government will be forced to use more call until germany has found an affordable way to store renewable energy. closing nuclear plants does not mean the end of nuclear dangerous. germany is struggling to find a permanent storage facility for more than 10000 tons of highly radioactive waste stored at 16 interim locations. much to the concern of the mirrors in these municipalities, toilets, and throws more than 2 days past 12 months is we have become aware of what it means . if there is a worse situation, risks, we can't protect ourselves against. like what we have seen in ukraine. we don't wish something like this to happen, but we can't exclude it. we'll get into nuclear waste. we'll now have to stay in
12:39 am
those locations until as late as the year 2100, before it can be moved to a permanent location, showing that the nuclear era is far from over steadfast and elsie sierra echo west high germany. let's look a little bit more into this on joined by malcolm greenstone, who is an honorary senior research fellow at the imperial center for energy policy at imperial college. he joins me now here in the studio. welcome. so of course, back in 2011 in the wake of the fukushima disaster, there will be concerns not only in germany, but further afield about the implications about the safety of nuclear power. but here we are in 2023, given all that we've seen in recent years, concerns about energy security. do you think the angle of merkel over reacted at germany is always been something of a special case. it was only about 10 months before the folk shimmer disaster and in 2010 through shaman incident that germany reversed it's phase our policy. anyway, if you look around the rest of the world, japan, for example, is re committed to nuclear power and a big way, despite being the that the, the,
12:40 am
the country in which triggers she actually took place were seeing something of the order of 20 countries coming in to nuclear power for the 1st time. so the united arab emirates most recently, but egypt, turkey, many other countries are developing nuclear. and germany is very much out on a limb with this, as has been demonstrated by the i think the global shock at the, the share responsibility of this. is there any evidence to suggest that the, the move to close all of germany's nuclear power plants in some way, turbo charged, the renewable energy sector in the country is germany ahead. in that capacity, germany has been developing nuclear sir renewables since the 2001 energy act. but sir, in that effects those renewables have replaced nuclear power rather than replacing coal. so in the last week, we've seen the extraordinary sight of a wind farm being bold at bulldozed in germany to make way for the coal field that's underneath it. so they can get the coal out to, to burn in their coal fired power stations. germany could have gone
12:41 am
a lot further in terms of its carbon reductions. have it decided to stop using coal, ralph, and stopping using nuclear as it developed it's renewable g. get the impression that germany may have exposed itself to energy security risks going forward. we know, for instance, in france that derived 75 percent of its electricity from nuclear energy that they've put nuclear energy as a priority when it comes to their own national security. that right, i mean that there's 2 issues with security. the one is the one we usually talk about of dependence on imported oil and gas and tunic center, coal. but there's also the fact that because we can't store electricity in large mass, we have to balance supply and demand on a moment by moment basis that you have big reliable plants like coal, nuclear gas, where you know, you're going to get the energy at a particular time that's a relatively straightforward issue. if you're having to deal with sources that can vary enormously, bind from moment to moment in the case of wind. and certainly throughout the day in the case of solar,
12:42 am
that balancing act becomes much more difficult. and if we look at, say, california where they pretty much saturated their dice data market with solar, it's a massive job to switch over from all the solar and nothing else during the day or effect to no solar and ever. and so the whole demand having to be looked up in a different way overnight. and this, that security issue of maintaining the quality of the electricity supply is i think, a growing issue in many of those countries which are developing renewables rapidly or make malcolm stay with us. so for the time being will come out sooner. second, because germany is nuclear switch off comes days after a new report indicated this year could be a turning point in generating planet friendly energy. the energy think tank, it predicts that fossil fuel generated electricity will fall from this year. the 1st ever annual drop in the use of coal, oil, and gas outside of recession or pandemic, wind and solar, now produced 12 percent of the world's electricity, with a boom in renewable energy led by china. generating electricity was responsible for
12:43 am
over a 3rd of all energy related carbon emissions in 2021, the biggest contributor to global warming. so malcolm, looking at those, this figures, sir, the finding suggests we are in the downward slope now. we're over the hump when it comes to our use of, of fossil fuels. is this view too optimistic to think fossil fuels for electricity? the point was made there that alec trustees, not the majority of things is the single biggest source, but something like 2 thirds of the world. so mission, so don't come from electricity. it's certainly the case. our trustees, easiest bit to de carbonite because we do have nuclear power and renewables that can replace fossil generation. it's much more difficult in areas like transportation barriers like heating am and we should also bear in mind that since the world came together in 1992 in the rio convention to say that we have to drastically reduce our emissions. global emissions have gone up by 60 percent in
12:44 am
that period of time. the fact that one parts are a minor part of those emissions looks as if it might have plateaued at something like 60 percent higher than the level when we started talking about this is better news than if it hadn't platter, but it's a relatively small part of the enormous task that we face, if we're going to take climate change seriously, malcolm really, really interesting speech. you're welcome, grim. so for imperial college. thanks a lot. now, nearly 2 thirds of mozambique population rely on farming or fishing for income, but experts are worried. many people may struggle to feed their families to, to changing weather patterns. more than a 1000000 people in the region were affected when cyclone freddy hit last month from abusive from either miller reports macias and bonnie is working her way through dead crops off the site loan pretty devastated this farm in mamba in southern wasn't beek heavy flooding after the cycle and destroyed much of the maze, tomatoes and cucumbers grown here. now she has to start from scratch.
12:45 am
go do it up. let me arming is what i do for a living. we also have to hire people to work the land. when flooding happens, we lose our crops, we have to pay the workers and also treat the land. so it's loss after loss. experts are worried about the worsening effects of climate change and what it means for food production in a country. 2 thirds of the population relies on agriculture and fishing. and i've seen all the. this is the coastal city of bay route 4 years ago. off to psycho new diet, it was one of the was tropical psych loans in the southern hemisphere. it's affected millions of people across mozambique malawi and zimbabwe. experts say this region of the engine ocean as the highest average increase in surface temperature of all tropical oceans. pi, a, temperatures mean more energy to supercharge with systems, which they say i increasingly developing into psych loans. so when most recently
12:46 am
psycho foody was the longest surviving tropical storm in recorded history. regaining strength, 6 times over. many flood plains and low coastal areas may mostly be vulnerable to flooding. concerning for, to read things. first, they have had the vin bigger and more frequent. and that's concerning because um we gonna and it's not just a lot of times we focus on the psych loans because they are very and flooding. it's very dramatic. it is a very visually shocking, but we have other impacts like droughts, the grouching, the eighty's and ninety's killed of a $100000.00 people, but was every month people dying over long period time, it doesn't catch the media attention. so the climate is, is scary in, not only in all aspects that floods the droughts, the and it is, it's really and if we really struggling with what's now and this is the beginning, it can get worse. and the last decade mozambique been hit by civil high intensity
12:47 am
tropical cyclone, killing many destroying buildings and costing the economy billions of dollars. an experts say it should prepare for more. for me, tamela al jazeera, my put to mozambique can years 1st, earth observation satellite has blasted off from california in a space. ex rocket an ripper, transported her go transporter. the satellite will collect data on food reduction of the consequences of climate change. your thirty's hope the information gathered will help them combat food related crises. so i have this news, our we me to nigerian man who's living out his childhood dream of making electric vehicles to cut pollution in his home city of might cause a bit thinner than a normal bridge. one dare devil makes history as he crosses the done river on a tight road. and in school the latest from the english premier league once a day to forget for newcastle funds. football actually coming up.

ah, it's a $1000000000.00 money. no drink operation for coal. marsha is bigger than the company with financial institutions, regulators and governments complicit about with it. right. i've described that in a 4 part series. algio 0 is investigative unit because under cover in southern africa pittsburgh, we control 90 percent of the government. once it's to the following, it's perfectly brandon, good part for on al jazeera, the latest news, as it breaks over the years from has been the target of numerous lawsuits and criminal investigations. but this time is different with detailed coverage, although many countries are speaking to reduce their defenders across it. we all know genesis the toilet will question you to be in demand from around the world.
