ah, who took over as president at a time of crisis in a deeply divided country 50 years after his death al jazeera whoa, tells the story of ed she, her architect of the modern lebanese states, the soldier statesman. on a jesse of ah ah, hello, i'm cyril benya. it's great to have you with us. this is the news. our life from bill ha, coming up in the program to dave for days of violence and a 3rd failing cease fire sedans, armed conflict goes on despite efforts to bring a pause to the fighting. i personally prefer that we plaid from hunger and die from

bullets in from our bunk. and people in khartoum sheltering in basement, says the fight for control rages on above them. 3 officials from chin as his main opposition party, arrested hours after police detained party leadership of a new she and america's most watch tv news channel goes on trial. fox news is accused of knowingly misleading viewers with claims of us election for and on pete a similar to the school to me. israel madrid looked to seal their place in the champions league semi finals, and the n b a playoffs. the defending champions, golden state warriors avenue to do or to 2nd street defeat for the sacramento kings . ah, so we begin this news hour with 4 days of fighting and a 3rd cease, fire and sudan,

which so far is failing. you're watching live pictures of the capital, the army and the countries largest power military group, the rapids support forces had agreed a 24 hour pause in the violence starting at $1600.00 gmc. now that was 2 hours ago . but bombing and gone, fire have not stopped in the capitol more than a 185 people have been killed since saturday. he but morgan is live in khartoum about what can you tell us? were 2 hours into this official window for the cease fire. has the fighting stopped or at least died down? well no, the fine thing has not stopped by the fact that it's been 2 hours. and now since the start of that 24 hour a cease fire that was agreed upon by both the rapid support forces and this would in these army, after a lot of international pressure, we can still hear the sound of anton, of planes, of flying overhead and we're in a basement in the building where we've been for the past 4 days because of the

heavy shelling the team has been forced to retreat to the basement to avoid getting had them for their safety. but we can still hear the sound of the antelope plane flying. we can still hear the sound of the heavy artillery, and we can still hear and aircraft missiles. so it looks like, despite the fact that both sides agree to cease fire, both sides are trying to gain an upper hand before they actually make that these fire come into effect. there are also other residential neighborhoods right now in the central parts of the capitol. foursome round the vicinity of the presidential palace and the general command of the army. that's where the intense fighting has been ongoing over the past 4 days. but they are also fighting reported in other parts of the capital as well. residential areas such as her to me, north and the southern parts of the capital. so it looks like this, these fire just by both sides, verbally agreeing to it on the ground. it's not being implemented. are you getting any sense of who might be gaining an upper hand in this conflict?

while both sides claimed to be having the upper hand at this point, and it's not just a, we're on the ground. it's also a war avoids and claims between the 2 sides. the receptionist footage earlier this evening show earlier the morning showing that they are inside hard to me to national airport. that the scene of heavy fighting between the 2 sides of the army claims to have control of it and control of the general command the around which there has been in tempe fighting. then there's the murder, we murder isn't the northern part of a capital. every single day, there's been an exchange of claims, both 5 claiming to have control of the airport fair, the out, the military base and motto in the northern part of the country. now the iris, the rapid support forces just under an hour ago claimed that they have regained control of matter. we military base after the army to control of it this morning that some of the seen of heavy fighting ongoing between the 2 sides. then there the states, when you look at the states that the, which of the fighting has spread to give them idea of also what is going on around

the country. in the east, the army has control of the of the situation they have taken over the basis of the rapid support forces. but in dar for there is intense fighting ongoing as well. so it looks like both sides with, with both sides, claiming that they have the upper hand. it's not clear who exactly is the winner right now. and the battle between the army and the rapid support forces. what are you hearing on diplomatic efforts to stop the fighting? i mean, clearly we established that on the ground, it's not yet working. but what are the contacts that have been initiated with the warring parties while from the very 1st day of the fighting on saturday, there have been efforts, regional efforts, international effort to get both sides to end the fighting and sit down and negotiate a way out of this crisis, but we've heard statements from the head of the rapid support for the on the 1st day on saturday, saying that he will not stop fighting until he takes control of all the army bases

around the country. then we've heard a statement from the commander of the army, general abdel for the hon, describing the r s f as a rebel group that needs to be obliterated. so with those statements, these statements very much laid out for land from the very beginning. both sides seem determined despite the international f, a despite several meetings with by the a you calling on the 2 sides to end the fighting and promising to send an invoice to try to, to talk to, to, to type it looks like both sides. want to make sure they have the upper hand before any talks happen if any happens. all right. hey, ben morgan reporting from cartoon, thank you very much. we're now 2 hours into what should have been a cease fire. and again, the reports coming from hipaa that the fighting is continuing. well, earlier i spoke to holly side who lives in khartoum. he has described what their situation has been like in the past few days. we are going to have even the basic needs. we don't have the troll, we don't have water, we don't have electricity,

it's not a human carrying needs. you can describe the feel in the eyes of the civilian. so you can't imagine how is it so i understand you told our team that you ventured outside your home to try and get water. can you explain to us what that was like and i know you sent us the video. yeah, this is the regular time, regular process. we don't know days. we have to go through denial. it's 3 kilometers from here. and we have to collect a 2 tanks. we can collect water from team, from wealth, neal denial. and then we go back to the neighborhood and we distribute them to the civilian. did you feel safe doing that? we do. we do it only on the daytime. we can do it like it's not safe. how do you get civilians to distribute the water? this is a neighborhood, so we call them before we go there, and we'll bring the water to them. we call them before so they will find them ready

to, to collect the water. and it's fair to, is it accurate that people no longer have running water? i assume that's why you're doing the for how long? for 4 days we don't have water. is this all of cartoon, or is it just certain areas? most of, i'm living in hotel, north hotel. no, we don't have water for last saturday. what are you doing for food? food, we have reserved food, but some of the supermarket, they call them and they all open on the, on the daytime. there is a problem with the bread because they don't have life feet. listen now to mystery and the same also a resident of cartoon. she lives there with her husband and her young baby. she says she hasn't left her house since the fighting began. a lot of houses around us, including us, are running out of supplies and, and food especially that most of the foods that we grew rich went off. it is 40 something degrees here and living for 4 days or no no,

no hope for we would just revived. we are all now sitting in a room where it is almost no windows. that's why it's really dark and her floor for the babysitter. so it's really disturbing for the mental health because they keep paying a bumps we keep running around the house and it's the floor day for the day where we are, you know, conversely quarantined actually with with extra worries. that like jumped over house because it happened in many cases where they just throw a bump and it miss the target and went into someone's house. there is a lot of going where the both major doris are saying in front of yourself and behind it. i think the locations are not making the

year unless we really pieces fire. i don't think we will be moving out. i personally prefer that me from hunger and we die from bullets from bumped. well, shortly after the cease fire was supposed to come into force the un under secretary general for humanitarian affairs. martin griffith tweeted this, quote, targeting of humanitarian workers and facilities continues in sedan. we are receiving reports of attacks and sexual violence against aid workers. and he added this is unacceptable, and it must stop for many people in sudan social media has been the main source of information. so a hierarchy has more on what's being shared online. despite the constant internet interruption, some doctors have managed to post videos online and the situation they're, they're saying is dire. they appear to show bodies lying in emergency room metals

out a hospital in hot tune. now the doctor speaking in this video, speaking arabic, and you can hear it in his voice, he shocked staff are overwhelmed, number of casualties rising and medical supplies are running very low fast now. many doctors, nurses and patients remains traps and medical facilities across the country. incredible sees that we've been seeing him some of these videos west off from a dialysis sensor in the capitol hot. so am i able to make a lucky escape? patients were wheeled out on a heavy gong fire. some can be seen even to be wearing hospital blankets to keep them warm. now, also in the capital, 88 students and their professors are still trapped in the university of hard to him since the fighting started on saturday. now they've turned to social media to call for help, a little bit godaddy. what the situation is really scary. fighting has started again and it's continuous this evening. one of our students was killed. we haven't

been able to bury him yet. another student is critically injured. we need rescuing . we have run out of food. we're really scared. we're scared. we would love to run out of electricity and water. now the area where the university is located, i've seen some of the faith this gone baffled. let's take a listen. now students on monday try to escape from the campuses library. that's where graduate student kind of dogged and when i was shot and killed. now he since been buried by his friends fellow students on campus, but the rest of the students are still remain trapped. the army is released the statement saying it's trying to reach them the and said they found out on if you can hear it just in the background. but a terrifying moment captured on camera as gun has tried to comfort kids in the house. shelling outside the home,

many have been hiding on the furniture or in other places you can see the and as far as they can from the windows. now some good news, though, also shed by people in sit down despite the violence and the chaos. video of a newly born baby was widely circulated on social media, bringing much needed joys. you can see just that to it. family. right. last more to come on the news, our, including bail denied u. s. journalist evan gorski, which loses an appeal against his pre trial detention at a hearing in moscow. and when is a photo, not a photo. when it wins and major photography competition apparently, will explain a little later. also in sports, things get heated on the ice after his body check in the n h l playoffs. peter will have more for you later. ah, police engine is you have arrested 3 prominent officials of the main opposition

party hours after detaining its leader and rating its headquarters. how should i know she is a main opponent of president case i ed who has been accused of orchestrating a power grab after he suspended parliament in 2021. iran con has more. a hastily arranged news conference denounces the arrest of rashid galucci. he's one of the most vocal critics of tennessee and present case side glue. she is. another party has joined forces with others in opposition to call for his release poa the conversation was long. the rest of russia of a new she is an intensification of the policy of abuse and targeting of political opponents. and this is one of the many stages that preceded it, including targeting activists and politicians. his daughter says the arrest is a political witch hunt. since the crew, my father has it, and he did 9 times son for interrogation, but which you winning me, accented himself i 9 times for legally he politically mitigated them

abrogated charges. and the rest warned accuses good news. you what it calls inciteful statements. he was brought in for questioning, while police searched his home on the orders of the public prosecutor. several senior opposition figures had been arrested in recent weeks. they accused president side of a qu after he suspended parliament in 2021 and moved to rule by decree. before rewriting the constitution, 81 year old rashid gunners, he had been in exile in the 19 ninety's and returned during the turn is in revolution of 2011. since then, he's face repeated rounds of a judicial questioning for party finances and allegations of foreign terrorism charges he and his supporters deny him wrong car out as her mom and mom, sophomore suki is the former president of jean as yet. he joins us from paris via skype sir. is good to talk to you today as a former president, are you in touch with mr. science camp?

do you have any insights into their thinking? well, i don't know, but you know this morning i was extremely shocked and upset by the speech of the current president. i call him push as president because he's no longer for me later president, this purchase president this morning, you know, talking to a police officer said that he's going to wish to read war against the opposition against what he called criminal and corrupt people, et cetera, et cetera, so unfortunately, i am expecting that the repression would be worse every day and that, that we could expect more and more arrest and more and more repression. and i'm deeply a sad to see that the credit of the r springs donasia, the credit on the artist is now it's grade. but the situation, you know, is the worsening, not only for internal reason,

but also for i guess from because we got a lot of pressure pressure from the neighbor countries like agirri or like the so we do like the immune write this, et cetera. they have done everything, you know, to start the democratic revolution, and i think they are behind this man and they, behind all this violence against everybody you know, are talking about, treat them, talking about it, are respectful. any suggestions to patients? the list of people is arrested, keeps growing. x ministers, business men, they had of the top radio station engineers. yeah. all of them arrested just in the last few months. is this sense still possible in june as yet today? yes. so once a, once a denisia is no longer a, so do democratic states, it denisia is now at bumpiness dictatorship. and it's a true dictatorship because, you know, we have no longer forget about the role denisia. we used to have something,

you know, remember to the role of role. but now with this, with this purchase president, we have no structure. we haven't was solution should you should re, it's completely out of any great progression on the judiciary itself. and this is why once again, denisia is getting every day with more repressive concrete, more aggressive dictatorship, and also a more faded economy. this is also the problem to this guy. is this man, you know, because it's a totally traded economy recovery no history, no to what? to put the blame of the of the democratic opposition unfold for him. the democratic opposition is not the enemy and the handbook he took to protect it with the most violence. and this is very new. also, indonesia, we didn't have this kind of the speech for poke, even if there wasn't any. how a chin isn't going to react to the jailing of hush and i know she because he's not just any opposition. figure he is, was the party of the main opposition part. he was the head, sorry,

of the main opposition party engine is yeah, he has a very loyal folly. yes, i think that for the moment you know, to news you are very very, they have a lot of problems because the economy, it's that or i know because of the, i hate, you know, that the government knew that it is, you know, they are occupied doing to prepare the that i eat. so he spent his expected that he can do everything for them. the next door to door 3 days. but i think after there you'd be able to react and they maybe they were direct violently. and this is why i'm upset because this man, this it today, he declared that he is going to wage a real war again, the opposition, which means that he would use every think, you know, to, to, to, to repress the opposition. or this is why once again i expect more and more impression on denisia is really going to, to, to face a down creature. and i, i do believe that this man should be removed because otherwise, today's i would,

i'm afraid that tunisia would, would change the same shape like in the be all like in even a pseudo. well that, that's what i wanted to get out with you, which is that the future of chin is yet because president science has already been, he's already suspended the assembly. he has rammed through a new constitution. now he is arresting the heads of the various opposition parties . where do you think this is going? i think he's going to do exactly the same thing that, that been and he has tried to do, you know, been, i'd also, i've tried, you know, to detect the opposition by, by, by the oppression a old kind of oppression, torture, etc, etc. but shading, dealing with the economic problem, the problem that implicit denisia, i think we're going to have a new kind of go lucian, this sort of look when you, when you watch a volcano, a, you know, in know when this working order up,

i'm quite sure that the technician will gain more direct very, very soon, because nobody would accept that we have lost wearables, our freedom brought by the delusion. but also we have a new ship. it has lost everything from the economy. point of view, donasia is now a very full concrete delincia is backing everywhere you know to, to what to do yet. all right, i to have some, some funds from the i am at some point from the it started from some, but in fact the government has no solution to the economic problem of the country. all right, mohammed msf mar zilkey, former president of gene, as your thank you for joining al jazeera today. at my best, syrian president, bashar al assad has met with saudi foreign minister fi. sal been been farhana, sewed in damascus. prince vy sells visit is a significant step towards ending serious decades long regional isolation. it is the 1st by a saudi official since the start of the country civil war and 2011. last week, syria's foreign minister, if i sell mc dod visited saudi arabia,

and to moscow now where you s, journalist, every girl kabbage has lost an appeal against his pre trial detention. the wall street journal report was arrested last month by russia security services on espionage charges. washington says he is being wrongfully detained dorset, jibari reports from moscow. evan girl, which continue to remain behind guard while you wait for the child to begin the course. here in moscow denied his request and authority one year old will take him back to the force of the detention facility. 42, his attorney, he remains experiencing good, how he's spending his days that reading the russian classic. he's currently making way to also war and peace is attorney said they will continue to fight to get him any kind of avail that could be possible. during this time, the russian foreign ministry has already said that evan was taught read turn to. you rested on july 29th,

they will continue to make this a priority in terms of trying to continue to get communication. they're calling on the russian federation to release him as well as to continue to provide this communication. we should point out that the lawyer for evan curse, which was speaking out outside of the court room and did talk about his spirits and how he will continue to fight the charges against him, which he continues to maintain. are completely false. no, it's not that it's that his in a fighting spirit is ready to prove the right to free german assume his ready to defend himself to death the court session. he made a correspondence statement that he was ready to prove that he was innocent of the act of incriminating him, but he holds on and thanks everyone for the world support to receive letters and onset us as far as possible before his grateful to everyone for the support now in terms of legal strategy, the goal that has been taken so far has been to try and to get him out of what the

u. s. is calling the former k g b jail that he is currently being held in. in other words, house arrest or trying to even seek bailed. currently, the model that had been put forward by the wall street journal in the form of a letter saying they'd be willing to pay was 50000000 roubles. that's about $600000.00 you ass. but the court currently has rejected that. so will be another attempt to try and work out some sort of deal. russia has opened up a new criminal case against the opposition leader and kremlin critic alex a nev only. it is the 10th criminal case filed against him, now only is already facing up to 35 years in jail. then you case accuses him of disorganization of penitentiary institutions. after a confrontation in his cell, the valley was taken to hospital last week with his spokeswoman saying that she suspected a slow acting poison was behind his severe stomach pains. a criminal has released the video showing president vladimir putin visiting 2 army posts in russian

i watching l 0 a reminder of our headline. this is our 24 hour cease fire between the warring sizes sedan was supposed to come into effect. but 2 and a half hours ago now. but there are still gun fire and still shelling and parts of the capitol cartoon. both sides accused each other of breaching the seaside and civilians in the country have been painting a dire picture of the humanitarian situation. hospitals are overwhelmed with the injured and are running out of supplies. food and water are also becoming difficult to source. us journalist evan girl cabbage has lost an appeal against his pre trial detention at a hearing in moscow. wall street journal reporter was arrested last month by russia

security services on espionage, georgia. and a landmark trial is underway in the us between the countries most watch cable news network and a company that provides electronic voting machines. lawyers are in court to dissect with fox news broadcast on television after the 2020 election on claims of voter fraud. versus what the employees of the channel knew was fact. fox presents has repeatedly gave voice to donald trump's claims that the election was stolen. and the dominions voting machines were responsible for that. now, dominion is suing fox for $1600000000.00 in damages. as bringing patty co hain, who's falling developments from washington, dc. patty, we'll get to that. who's who in just a 2nd. but 1st, what happens in court today? well, what happened in court today after a one day delay? so we were all thinking maybe they were going to try and settle this out of court and there were those discussions, but apparently did not happen. so they're in court today. a little bit of drama.

the very beginning, as the jury was sat down, one of the alternate jurors stood up and said, i can't do this. i can't do this, didn't explain why judge didn't ask simply, just replace them. another person was caught taking pictures, which is a big no, no, it was kicked out of the court room. and then as a standard in these cases, even though it is so highly anticipated the 1st few hours of any trial, it's actually quite boring. it's when they go through housekeeping, they give the, tell the jury don't listen to the don't look at any news. they figure out how long the jury is going to get for their lunch break, how long the day's going to go. so that took them to their lunch break, they're back now, we're expecting an opening statement to start. first we're going to hear from dominion dominions lawyers. they think they're going to talk about an hour. then fox news lawyers and there are whole lot of lawyers in this courtroom, they're going to talk for an hour. so doesn't seem like we're going to get the 1st witnesses today. but it also doesn't seem like we're going to have to wait long. it's believe that the big boss of the entire empire, rupert murdoch is going to be one of the 1st to be tech, to testify,

and to be cross examined. so expect, bombshells, maybe not today, but possibly tomorrow. all right, well patty, you know, it's not boring. it all the hundreds of documents that have already been file in this case and reveal the detail the private messages and emails. lets go through some of them. here's what box presenter tucker, carlson said on air after the election in november 2020. he said, it is clear, the 2020 election was a great betrayal of american democracy. but here's what he said in his private text, he called trumpet a quote, demonic force and a destroyer. he said he hates trump passionately. another one, fox host data perino claimed on air that affidavits from people who've been working in ballad counting for 20 years, cited really disturbing things that they had seen that was on air in private messages. she calls the dominion fraud allegations, quote, total b s insane. and nonsense. all right, patty, tell us about the characters involved, especially these prime time stars,

the fox news because they're not household names for the rest of the world, but in the us they are major players. they are major players. and since we're speaking about journalism ethics, i think in full disclosure, i should mentioned the dana perino, and i actually went to graduate school together to get our master's degrees. that said, it is hard to overstate just how important these natalie, the nighttime hosts, but the daytime hosts are they, as you mentioned, they are the highest rated cable network. and they really do set the agenda for not just republican voters, but republican politicians. so for example, when it comes to migration of the southern border, you can see fox on a daily basis. call it a crisis, they have reporters there. and then the politicians say that's their top agenda item and republican politicians because fox is so powerful, they really live in fear of angering these hosts. and again, they have a huge viewership, the highest rated cable network. and the other issue with this is media now in the

u. s. has become very silos. people tend to only watch media that reinforces their views. so it's not clear, it's going to hurt them with their voters because if they don't cover it, it's not like most of their voters are going to know that this is happening. and if they do cover it so far, they've been spinning it with their arguments as to why this is a wrongful lawsuit. but there really is a much bigger problem or bigger concern when it comes to this case. because as you mentioned, you read those text. it seems as if the lying on air was so agree just that if fox doesn't be, if they're not held accountable, that could actually have huge implications for how media goes forward. now, they can't argue that it was an ally. the judge is already said you, it was a lie, we knew, and there is no proof that the voting machines didn't actually change in the votes . and it did have consequences. one of their employees, that dominion had to go into hiding employees and getting death threats. and so it was

a very consequential decision for fox to target this company. but they have to prove because they can't say it was a lie. now, indian has to prove actual malice that they did this, the actual mouse, and that's a very high bar in legal circles. so if fox is not held accountable for what we've all seen, there is concerns that they'll be no more guardrails left in the us media, or a petticoat hain, a fascinating case of the intersection of politics and media. thank you for setting us up. i'm going to talk to a lawyer right now, patty, thank you. joining us from washington d. c. as alan barron, a former federal prosecutor, illegal expert, allan, if you will allow me, let's game this out. i'll take you back to law school. make the case for dominion. that's the easy part. yes, that is the easy part and it's not normally easy because there's a very high bar before a little the media are held accountable, even if a falsehood is broadcast, they have to show the plaintiff dominion, in this case has to show actual malice. now that's

a legal term. the basically says that the wrongdoer, the defendant, had to publish a knowing falsehood or acted with reckless disregard for the truth. and that's dutch tops to prove deservedly so improperly. so because we do want the media to not be afraid that every time they say something that's a little controversial, they're going to get sued. but in, for, based on what we've learned so far, and my sense is that fox is in a lot of trouble on their own, people were saying over and over, you know, what are they saying? this is not right. this is not true. they knew it wasn't true and they put it out there anyway, playing to their audience. ok. they're in a lot of legal trouble. so they need a good lawyer. well, it so happens that in this hypothetical, you're now defending fox news. what's the defense?

i think they say, i think they close themselves in the 1st amendment and saying, even if it was false, we as news media ah, shouldn't be held to a standard whereby we have to be afraid to publish what people are saying. we're just publishing what trump was saying is, was after all the president, the united states. and so what he says, even if it's false, even if we think it might be false, it's still newsworthy. and we have a right to publish it without fear of being sued. for a 1000000000 and a half dollars. okay, hold on. hold on as a rebuttal already. there's a rebuttal already because a superior court judge in delaware is already ruled that the statements fox news put out on error not protected by the 1st amendment. how do you recover from that? you may not, i'm very surprised that it didn't. i think i'm very surprised that it didn't settle . i think the party that refused to settle may have been the plaintive dominion

they really see themselves with coming up. it facing a big, fat well healed target and they're not going to fold they wanted. they want to litigate because they smell blood with a lot of money about the settlement this could this happen at any point including after the start of the trial? absolutely. any time and judge is hugely applauded and encourage it and will hold the trial to give it a chance to, to happen. a judge's love settlements. so how does that work? what's the logic behind that? as the trial progresses, both sides, i assume, you know, start assessing their chances of success and, and reassessing whether or not they, they may want to settle, not want to settle. is that how it works? yeah. you, you never know exactly what a witness is going to say. you put somebody on who you think they're going to say x and y, and they all end up saying a, b, c. and all the sudden you've got

a huge hole in your case. and that can drive it up and then the people who are running that the company in this instance may be having conferences internally about, you know, we've got to get rid of this thing. we're going to get it really hurt and encourage the lawyers to sit down and try to hammer out unacceptable. resolution short of a jury verdict. one more for you. media mogul rob rupert murdoch of may, and that will likely have to appear in court as this trial. if this trial continues, what would his lawyers be telling him to keep your answers? sure. and to the point you don't want to rattle on. that's the worst thing a witness can do. listen carefully. don't say one word more than you have to, you know, tell the truth. but don't you know, get up there and start testifying. and freeform, because that is a recipe for disaster. any trial lawyer will tell you that alan baron, former federal prosecutor,

thank you so much for your insights. thank you. in the us state of missouri, an 84 year old man has been charged with 1st degree assault in the shooting of a teenager. 16 year old ralph yarrow had mistakenly gone to the man's house to pick up his younger siblings. lena, obliquely has more. oh justice. that's what ralph y'all's family wants for the 16 year old who was shot and injured last week, yal had mistakenly rang the doorbell of andrew lester's house in kansas city, missouri. while trying to pick up his younger brothers, lester opened the door and fired on ralph yard. prosecutors have now charge lustre with 2 counts, including 1st degree assault, which carries a life sentence. we understand how frustrating this has been

us justice system, if you will, continue to work with any serious case. we approach this one objective. joining community members outside the house where yara was shot, his family is grateful that he is recovering from the stories that you normally here, right now, he is alive and his healing. the case has outraged many across the united states, including the white house president joe biden called yarrow family. offering his support, while vice president, kamala harris said on twitter, no child should ever live in fear of bringing the wrong doorbell. the prosecutor, in this case, has determined the shooting was not in self defense and says, it may have been racially motivated by message to the place

we forced loss follow laws. it is not look like everyone there have been rallies in the seat speaking out against the gun violence and demanding justice for your oil. many have questioned why the suspect wasn't arrested and charged immediately after the shooting. but 4 year old family, they said they're just happy to have him home. lena barkley and replacing human workers with robots equipped with artificial intelligence. that's the theme at one of the world's largest trade fairs. the hanover method in germany company see it is a solution for current labor shortages, but concerns are also being raised. step boston was there to find out more needs. but the robotic dog, who can save lives in disaster zones where humans can go,

a bio mass from natural algae, which then you, for example, as an energy source or as a food supplement. new technology is meant to make the world better and safer and many, using artificial intelligence like this vertical farm where a i, it's used to optimize the quality of every single leaf. but big conglomerates like german giant, siemens also have concerns about the rise of a. i especially personnel use, check opportunity, but it's developing so far. we need to make sure that we also balancing the benefits and the dangerous. the good thing is if you apply a i in the industrial environment, it's not your personal data. industrial data which you work with. so i think a i in the industrial space will be safer than actually in the consumer space. german chantelle? all options. open to tracy. i got with indonesia, president joke, we don't, indonesia,

this spot. no country aim to attract german investors to produce batteries using its large nickel reserves. what a bummer! we have discussed industrial downstream in an energy transition box with ports wagon and other general companies about green energy and direct your car. batteries . battery technology is one of the fastest growing market worldwide and a dominating theme at the fear. but visitors are mostly captivated by the new developments in a i like this machine that can learn how to pick up any small object, a robot that can do what it's maker calls for ring work. step fashion houses era, hannover. the german artist is refusing to accept an award for photography after admitting the photo he took was not a photo. it was generated using artificial intelligence. here's the quote unquote picture by boris l docs, and it depicts to women using a black and white filter al dogs and one in the creative open category of the sony

world photography awards. he says he entered the competition to spark debate over the role of artificial intelligence in the art world. well, earlier i spoke with boris l docs and he says, photography and a i images both have value. i only told the title and that's it. i kept it open, but i handed in the images of the series and 2 of them. so obviously i generated that i didn't make it in the last round, but this particular imaged. i got that far and i was really, really surprised. i did not expect this to happen, it was just a test i didn't apply to when anything. i think it's very important that you stop using the term ai photography and we need to have a term that is new that shows it's a different process of creating images. and my suggestion would be from telegraphy

from font. and it's not my idea, it's the idea that comes out of the photo community of a peruvian photograph. i talked to this weekend. and once we have 2 different terms, like photography and come to graphy, which also can create images that look like dying or painting. we can then move on further and say, do we want to put them in one basket as the umbrella photography large enough or both? or is it a mistake? and it's quite complex question. and what i realized in the community is they are just startled. yeah. like a rabbit looking at a fox, and i think we need to talk, we need to talk as quick as the technology advances and i'm very happy that we are doing right now. still ahead on al jazeera, we build up to the champions league, quarter finals as ac milan, and napoli face each other in an all italian showed out ah
