1:08 pm
whether presenter jeff harrington. just why is the rain quite so intense? well, 1st off, nist, as you know, we have to look at the continent as a whole. so, you know, surprisingly, most of africa is actually in the tropics. we get tropical rain as far south as a tropic of capricorn. tropical rain is that persistent, intense rain that leads to flooding. we get tropical rain around the equator, just north of that, but it doesn't get much further than that. because of course we've got this hot desert which is incredibly dry. but at this time of the year when we make that transition into the northern hemisphere summer, while that rain is falling rate across the equator and just north of it. so for countries like we're wanda, april, may there's some of your whether it's months of the years, so this is what we would call seasonally correct. you know, some years or worse than others, we've got to factor in climate change. there is more energy in the atmosphere. that means there is more moisture, so some years will be worse than others. this is
1:09 pm
a bad year. there's been some flooding also in the southwest of uganda. land fide there, burn d and d r. congo. now our forecast as we look ahead into thursday shows more periods of rain for that western side of uganda. but i want to take a look at the 3 day forecast for good golly, hopefully by the end of the week that rain will start to turn just a bit lighter. so 26 degrees on friday, your temperatures pretty well where they should be. so it says here, as we said, april and may are some of the whether it's month of the year for rwanda as we get into the northern hemisphere summer season. but by june and july, some of the dry months of the year. so relief should be coming soon. let's get to hey, thanks so much john. you're welcome. well, i'm still plenty more had few this news hour, including me on military pardons, more than 2000 prisoners, arrested during its crackdown on descent. the u. s. braces for a surge of migrants along the southern border as a controversial asylum law is set to expire. and in thought,

1:11 pm
the last, the rain in the president to visit the mascot was not at the new job at that time. the visit is being seen as an important one because the iranians want to highlights the closeness and the relationship that they have with the sad regime in damascus. this is coming at a time when and many believe that the syrian president has managed to hold onto power despite the decade long over decade, long civil war. that was a region in his country. and now iran who has been one of his strongest supporters throughout the entire time, is coming out in support even stronger than ever. the reading president had said that the main purpose of his visit is to highlight 2 things, one to increase what he calls the axis of resistance against the israeli threat. mainly that we've seen over the past few years when they carry out air strikes in
1:12 pm
various points in syria. and of course, to strengthen economic ties and help we build the country after the devastating war . the re, new president, also being accompanied by a number of his ministers, including the defense minister, the foreign minister, the oil minister, as well as a number of private sector business men from iran hoping to find some deals. this is certainly being seen as an attempt by raining officials to highlight the strong relationship between tara and damascus in the face of what many here believes to be these really threats in that country. dr. jabari there with the view from tehran. thank you very much. dorothy will not speak to st called us. he joins us now from north lebanon that we've seen moves from a number of countries quite recently towards re establishing ties with syria, but around really been a strategic ally. yes, a run has been a strategic allied syria husband strategic for iran. it's allows that to control
1:13 pm
the lab core door front of a root. it gives its regional power regional influence and this visit is about projecting power and influence. it is also about giving political messages. it's against the backdrop of arab states. now, slowly we engaging with damascus. there's still no consensus on whether or not they're going to reintegrate president charlotte in the arab fold. but there is no doubt iran is concerned because our states are hoping to be engagement with damascus. will we, can iran influence in a, syria? so the message that you see is trying to get to remember throughout the course of the what we've seen, high ranking iranian officials arrived in damascus. is that the president, military officials, revolutionary guards, even the head of the revolutionary guards, this time is the president. so it's a, it's a political message and you know, at the same time,
1:14 pm
they are saying that we will continue to sound by syria. we will help in the reconstruction. but the bottom line is, iran does not have the billions of dollars that is needed to reconstruct the country, and that's why the, the syrian government needs to engage with out of countries as well as the west. so it's a very difficult balancing act right now. but iran is say, we are here, we are here to stay and we are going to maintain this close relationship that they're speaking to us from north level and keeping an eye on that visit for us. thank you. santa. well, around, revolutionary god. meanwhile, he is the panama flag oil tanker passing through this racial hall move that's just off around south coast. and it's the 2nd capture of the vessel that in less than a week, karen has not yet explained the reason for the ship's dasia. the u. s. navy says iran has harassed or attacked 15 vessels over the past 2 years and accuses this violation international law. a 14 year old boy has been accused of opening fire

1:16 pm
ministers in their counterparts and their assistance. i've gone away and have been talking since then they're discussing an agreement on the normalization of relations. what brought them together, this latest bout of talks was a decision by azerbaijan, to put in a check point on the main, latching corridor that leads the ethnic armenians from their enclave into our menia proper. and it's that checkpoint, that is really the shadow over these talks. russian military convoys are the only traffic now on this road that links the ethnic armenians in nagondo, kara back through azerbaijan, to armenia, the russians of peacekeepers, and supposed to keep the road open. but as a by john set up a checkpoint last week it's left ethnic armenian stranded in hotels in the nearest board town. some have been here since december, when the road was 1st blocked by azerbaijani government backed environmental

1:18 pm
the part of car back. it doesn't yet control before the occupation. half of the city's population are, as are based on, is currently only armenia living there. but my hope is that very soon we will be returning back to arbor constituents with russia, apparently distracted by the war and ukraine. the e u and u. s. and now trying to ease tensions armina looming in not going to car are sure that if there's a check point and they, they will have to go through those checkpoints, for sure as our budget can detain. armenians can create security challenges and many other things. so the checkpoint, the major reason of the check is the ethnically sync preparation process. the border remains a dangerous place. 7 soldiers were killed in fighting in april, but the hopes of the talks taking place in washington dc may produce some sort of a deal. now in the 4th day,
1:19 pm

1:23 pm
but the network spirit cheap for the americas had some good news. this guy, you sama, glaze's ready? is it al jazeera correspondent who was detained in egypt without trial? the good news is that he was released 2 days ago. citizen mossy, alina. jacques is an iranian american journalist, exiled from her homeland when to san each other. and we have to be unite. she spoke about the importance of recognizing the 3 imprisoned iranian women, whose reporting led to massive demonstrations for women's rights. they are the recipients of this year's guillermo, qana, world press freedom prize. they actually risk their lives and they took action against the islamic republic. this is what we need to see across the globe. otherwise, these amicably has no reason to stop jailing and torturing its own journalist and activists. al jazeera journalist rena blah clay is also being remembered with the
1:24 pm
screening of an al jazeera documentary about how she was shot and killed by israeli forces as she covered their actions nearly one year ago. 7 to date, no one has been held accountable, but the forum was not just about the physical risk to journalists. it also addressed the challenges of maintaining free speech, an air of disinformation, and the harassment of so called influencers online like felipe nato and brazil, whose youtube channel has $40000000.00 followers. being accused of the things i was, i was accused was the hardest thing i ever had to deal with. and it's one thing they try to do when they can corrupt you. they tried to corrupt her soul and your image in the eyes of the audience world press freedom day is about more than highlighting the perils of journalists. it is a reminder that the free flow of information is essential to preserving everyone's
1:25 pm
rights. kristin salumi al jazeera, the united nations. well that's bringing down critique. he is a professor of journalism at princeton university and also a former board member of the international press institute. he joins us now from amman, toad, we're seeing journalists increasingly under threat. despite the conversations we have on days like today, i think the wild press freedom index now classifies what 31 countries in a very serious situation. the lowest ranking that's 10 more than just 2 years ago. is this being driven by government or, or individuals or both? i am sorry i, i know that the situation of the journalist is, is quite bad. the immunity by an unsafe actors, as well as by governments is appalling. the fact that, as you said, sharing a block then others have not had those killing her, have not been held accountable. but we also have a problem of the am employment and safety of journalists,
1:26 pm
but also the employment of journalist. we're seeing more and more that the giant did, digital companies are taking away a lot of the jobs of journalists, and that is creating also self censorship among journalists who are trying to keep their jobs by being a nicer to the governments. and by appeasing the government, so we have big problems on different levels. well, we're also seeing huge advancements and technology, right, like artificial intelligence. and there are obviously some very real concerns about misinformation. how much of a threat is that to the perceived integrity of journalism. now threats are amazing. i mean, as you mentioned, the number of skilled journalist is gone up. the wall street journal report you're in russia is being held in my them are in china and russia in iran. journalists are facing problems in many parts of the world. in the mean region, we're also having problems specially with egypt and syria. libya as other countries
1:27 pm
are also air generative facing problems. we have problems with the laws that are mostly biased towards government media and basically closing the space for independent media to work privately and so on. show us are just a follow up on my question doward. we've been talking about threats to join us, but also i'm curious about how technological advancements like artificial intelligence, for instance, is creating more of a perception around misinformation in the media. is that in your mind a threat to journalism itself? it's true, i mean what you're saying is absolutely true and i think we have a problem because there is now for information of media. we have established may be the we have, you know, very wealthy media. but we also have individual journalist in death, free lancers who are doing their own media. and unfortunately them diversification
1:28 pm
has its own problems because we have the splintered media into so many small groups that have really no effect. and i think we need to find a way to balance the fact that many websites are almost not effective, even though they're independent or as a big media, which is not dependent is not independent. and we need to find synergy between both medias. dowd cut out there, professor journalism at princeton university and inform the board member of the international press institute. thanks so much for joining us on out there. and sharing your thoughts, our hostile ahead here on houses and level on the overnight attacks between israel and palestinian armed groups in gaza . child marriages are on the decline, that unicef says a series of crises can make it harder to eliminate and support my full goals. and
