the land of the free america has never been a real democracy. the black people never experience that democracy may be excludes divisions and struggles in america's electoral system. aside for and against equal representation. and the democratic process is the country that's learning how to be a democracy, but it's not there yet. one person, one vote on al jazeera, the

at least 30 palestinians have been killed as rainy as strikes had gone with a things like that. the other ones are enjoying the sound as they are nice. and so coming up my good search towards the us border from mexican, with just an hour ago before. pandemic controls limiting entry expired. so that means we're inside sign that agreement and saudi arabia to allow humanitarian assistance. but there's no c spine yet lots. i'm james space and the newest. so that's kind of saw in the country this already suffering the world's worst humanitarian crisis. but now a new danger and infestation of lucas, which the un say could whitehouse culture of the countries across the

of the victims have been women and children. this apartment block and had unit is one of several buildings hit on wednesday night. i get the model of what had this. busy will me a boost will be a sore, a bright flash of light turning the dock. nice and today. and then i heard 2 explosions within a few seconds. it became dusty, hazy. we couldn't see anything in the house. rocks and glass fell on us. i could hear the children yelling and screaming speed, what i like involving several families with young children lives here on the 19th at s russell. we were asleep. we heard shutting a loud noise. my father told me to stay inside and he went to see what happened. we saw debris and trust no and destroyed houses. when is the last of the united nations secretary general, antonio good terrace says the killing of civilians in gods that is acceptable and has urged israel to wide by international lo. he has also condemned the

indiscriminate firing of profits into israel. the humanitarian crisis is expected to worse than israel has closed. the only 2 borders with guns. uh which means that fuel and medical equipment are able to enter the strip given a c, l g 0. gaza, the author there was wild doctor visited some of the residential areas, hitch and gaza, and spoke to a residence that meanwhile held obama and that, that the cut a lot of we are at the northern most point of the gaza strip in the to last year. this used to be a 3 story building, the mastery families home. as you can see, it has been leveled earlier, we spoke to a crew of explosives, engineers were serving the areas, hit by is really air strikes from the shop to collect. and they said, these really forces are using smartphones which carry almost one ton of explosives and also known as bunker busters. these bonds detonate in phase is to cause the

maximum possible damage to welcome the surrounding buildings have also been damaged and people are homeless. let's speak to a member of the mastery family of can you tell us what happened? a lot of the, the interviews at about 845 this morning. our neighbor told us that the is really forces had issued in evacuation. notice we ran for our lives, not long afterwards and f, 16 fighter jet, flew over the roof and fired a rocket. this house, which sheltered dozens of palestinians during the 2008 war is now completely destroyed. we saved for 30 years to build it. if it is really citizen is injured, the whole world speaks up to condemn it. but when hundreds of thousands of postings are killed, no one lives the finger is rarely sub and killing posting. and since the 1930 until this day they have gained nothing. we will hold our ground, the resistance movement will take revenge for us. oh, my god. one person's been killed in raffle 10. his riley city close to tennessee eve more than $550.00 rockets and motor rounds had been launched at israel,

most of them into septic, for the iron dung defense system. for the mach sounds, the latest i'm just south of ask along on these right side of the fence with guns us as you can see, night has fold in here for the last 2 hours though during the evening time and take that as being a succession of rocket barrels is coming out of old thoughts of origin points. in gauze behind me were about 5 kilometers north of the border. here. we've seen rockets landing on electricity pylons, a couple of 100 yards away, some shot know on a bridge, just up the road here and then a major project, all landing maybe 4 or 500 meters away from where i'm standing. the sirens of sound that not only in small communities very close to gaza, but in largest cities, lights there are like gosh, couple on a few kilometers north of a. we've seen buildings being damaged in both of those 2 towns. and of course, as you mentioned earlier, right have what, that's a sub just to the south of ton of it, where an individual died over the course of the last few as many more injuries around there as well. schools important need for the people living that will be

closed tomorrow. and it seems that throughout the course of the day from where we stand and we can have these as strikes, we can hit artillery. being sent over by is really ministry forces into garza and the consequences as the just so pretty devastating. what are the items? the size of product is a professor of international law or at queen's university in canada. he explained why israel contest cape own international knows all of the time. when any party engages in armed conflict, it has obligations under international humanitarian law. to ensure 1st that it distinguishes between civilians and combat hands, civilian objects, military objectives. and that even when a deploys force that force is proportionate to the threat that it is responding to . and that it, that, that force is necessary in the circumstances and find me that it takes all feasible precautions in attack. and it makes sure that the attack will not arm civilians to

the highest possible uh, measures available by all accounts based on what we're seeing now. israel's most recent attacks on gas to demonstrate that it is violated. these principles, the number of civilian casualties, including whole families, are far in excess of any good boarded military objectives that these rabies claim to be seeking. the documentation of kinds of war uh, crimes against humanity is extremely vital in particular because we know that the office of the prosecutor of the international criminal court is now investigating the situation in palestine. we don't know when arrest warrants will be issued. that is in the hands of the prosecutor, but these sorts of actions need to be documented and are being documented by into yours, by the united nations, by people on the ground. and that information is, is school is being shared with the office of the prosecutor. so the hope is that

the parties to the conflict, but in particular, the occupying power. take note of the fact that it's actions are being watched. and that they're there, maybe one day be individual criminal responsibility for those who either order these actions or participate in carrying them out. a tens of thousands of migrants . so heading to mexico has voted with the united states as a government prepares the lift cobit 19 border restrictions later. this our, the legislation known as the title of 42 has been used expelled 2700000, mike on some of the us john engine to pull. it's not from el paso, texas. on the buddha, with mexico. this willing crowd surging the us southern border. mark the end of pandemic era, immigration rules between mexico and the texas border wall. now 4000 us troops joined thousands of border control agents at the vanguard of an effort to push back the swelling human tide. our borders are not open. people who cross our border

unlawfully and without a legal basis to remain, will be pro promptly processed and removed. el paso sacred heart church has long been home to about 200 migrants, many spilling out into the streets, surviving on donated, to and bathing outdoors. lately, the number seeking refuge has spiked. they were up to 1200 people around this area on the side bought some of the side streets earlier this week. you as immigration agents move them for process and get ahead of the expected search to come. these are the lucky ones, the migrants who arrived and avoided deportation from the u. s. before the end of title 42 defend demik era rule that allow the us to turn away 2700000 migrants over the past 3 years. darwin, tract from ecuador on foot and enter the us through a hole in the border wall in search of a new life. the not,

i don't have anything. i want a better future, so i can work. so i can help my families now migrant to cross won't be immediately expelled from the us, but the new rules are strict to anyone seeking asylum in the u. s. must 1st show they've started elsewhere in been rejected. a bar few can meet those deported can be excluded from the u. s. for 5 years, but the lucky ones who make it to this side of that will then begin a 2nd journey through the asylum court process. and that can take years, suwanee received the papers that let her pursue asylum this week. she fled hung doors with a daughter that she says was persecuted for being a lesbian look. but i yeah, i want to about the future for her. and i want to help my father, he's old enough to say that alejandro is one of the 30000 migrants each month from venezuela, nicaragua, cuba and haiti, who were allowed to enter the us through a new humanitarian parole program. or what i want to do is work as the

surge of migraines rises on the us border menu will likely take their chances with the legal crossings. joining the millions who already live in twilight status, john henry, and l g 0 el paso, and john home and his life for us and see about juarez on the mexican side of the boat of john. so tell us exactly where you on what's been happening that on the there i meant to the board a bridge between you that far is where you don't engines, but pull the el paso on the other side. and i'm here actually, because this is the point where if you were gonna see a lot of people, a lot of microns trying to get across the, usually in 4 digits here. because it's hotels around here, where a lot of people stay. and we need a center at the city, but as you can see, is pretty much as quiet as a border crossing has any right to be right though. and there is a theory about that. and that's the fact that actually a lot of the migrants, especially the ones that we've talked to and one's in other cities across his board

. i've been trying to get across and into the united states north for signing before the end of pipes and 42. that sounds a bit counter intuitive because i think a lot of people, including jimmy support that it was going to be off to the end of $12.42 that there was going to be a big mess of people's heading across. because remember that title 42 basically means it means a men. the us authorities could say no to anyone for us side them and turn straight around based on the fact that they might try cove, it with them. but as john said that in its report, the us is now rolled out, some new rules, which is strict impulsively and strict to at the have meant that a lot of people saying that this is the child's, it's meant record numbers of people try in the head across the board, and now we're going to see if that slows once in one that was time. title 42 n's. all right, to john home and live for us there and see about who are as john. thank you. now so

them is warning sides of signed an agreement to projects, civilians, and the movements of humanitarian aid. it follows several days of tulips and saudi arabia. between the army and permanent treat rapids support forces. many civilians have been trapped funding a month of fighting, while hundreds of thousands have been internally displaced. even morgan is in the mind with the latest that is not to cease fire. there is no mention of the word cease. fire o twos in the agreement. that's been signed instead, that's what it includes. the it includes the allowed civilians to be able to leave active conflict soon. here in the capital cartoon, or in other parts of the country, it saves the way for the, the resumption of whites and facilities to restart once again, facilities like what the plants and power plants and, and refineries because i'm groups in it, especially with the seventy's army accusing the rapid support forces off occupying these facilities. it's also allows for hospitals to be free of any on groups would be this would in these army or the rapids support forces and full welfare checks of

prisoners who've been caught up or had been arrest the up for improvement during this fights between the rapids support forces and disabilities army, so it's more of an agreement to ensure the life of stability. and so what caught up in this conflict do not that that did not get killed or that they're not affected or more than they already have been with tens of thousands already seem to capitol, but millions that remain trapped here. it's more of an agreement to make sure that those were here are not effective for them. for a short break here. and i'll just say when we come back to storm supreme court, what is the release of form assignment as the income is not one of the protection of security focuses on the candidates and took us presidential election, drops out, given a possible boost, the position on the the

still me with the ones getting the us, it's the story of late spring. you can see the cars developing in the plane states and that will bring so significant rain. that's to be expected. i think it's just going to add to the funding in the area. the still rain in texas is just going back to the west end of the gulf of mexico on the pacific coast. those things look little different, not noisily breeze would suggest is cooler in san francisco use in the by but look at these 26 is yes and 22 in calgary. so that looks growth. a woman, it should be for this time here and you'd be correct if you've thought that because we end up by sunday, 10 degrees above average and it's still going up. this is particularly true in western canada. there are fires as a result. the won't say you see in the southern us, not quite as extraordinary, but still of course, full of moisture near the coast of the gulf has been very hold around the caribbean . recently, surprisingly, so considering the amount of plaid and the potential for shot was, you wouldn't think it will persist, i think attempt is,

will come down. but certainly, fletcher in honduras across the mountains has been the case just recently in south america. the main rating belt, which is more or less stretches across here, isn't particularly accurate environment for the south a lot dry a picture, particularly in brazil and in sheila santiago has been quite well, but that will cool down to the the but the the, the

hook it back, a quick reminder on top stories here and this at least 30 palestinians have been killed in garza since as radio spots began on tuesday and it was gone. and so on, kate, assuming for months israel says it targeted senior leaders. and because a lot of the chat group, honest gimme a, meet a psych, saunders victims, tens of thousands of microbes, i heading to mexicans, voted with the us as a government prepares to lift cupboard 19 food restrictions within the next hour. legislation code title 42 has been used, expelled 2700000 language from us on savannah's warring sides of signed an agreement to projects, civilians, and then move into a few minutes here. i ran

a fun in several days of troops in saudi arabia, in the army and carmen to treat rough, simple forces focused on supreme court has ordered their release, a former prime minister in con, routing. his arrest was illegal. khan had been detained earlier in the week, sparking days of protests by his support of the faces multiple charges, including corruption. some been jervey reports from his number of us. the supreme court of boxes on says that the detention of inbound hon was illegal and unlawful because no citizen should be arrested from the premises of the board and set a wrong precedent. but it has in mind come to appear before the ism of high court, as he's going to spend the night in the same guest house where he was taken by the nation, the comfortability beautiful for his securities and safety. this is, does not mean that the legal trouble is for him or on hon is, are over i because he's not just faces this case and the one that he's been indicted in by another court. but there are 7 of cases against him. it is worth

noting that not just him on con, but his top, the leadership of his party is also being arrested and who the hundreds of participants book is. the government on the spot says that they have been arrested due to and so that they can maintain public folder. but non con spotty insist that this is what it's called fascism and it needs to stop. body work is 1st attacked police, then they went to his house to present him with the court orders. that's what the prime minister of the country has been saying. that's absolutely nonsense. i was there. nobody was affect the game or to know that not at all. it was the law enforcement agencies that came with the i guess what, the governments, when we were doing, going to start the piece will arrive in the whole, if some elements that deliberately causing damage. we have never supported it. we have all of us condemned it to the one fucked, his son to plunge into gorgeous gills. because this get to have elections or do that with their lives. the need for elections and revival for democratic focused on, not refreshes focused on which is what prevents today. that's the view from the

central leadership over the microsoft that it can. so it says the dozens of its workers have been killed. the leaders are being persecuted and cases which do not have legal foundation are being leveled against when a few hours after speaking to out of the registry, missouri who was still in that report was herself arrested. she was taken into custody during the pre dawn rate and her residence in his done about like him and conn, and several other permanent peach young members. she was arrested on the grounds of maintaining public who took his presidential election candidate, had an injury, has withdrawn from the race, giving a potential boost to the main rival president ridge of typo. the one opinion follow suggest that some days presidential and parliamentary elections could be among the most contested in the countries modern history. russell set out as more from uncle

that was a huge pressure on him. actually not to run for the presence of that pressure was coming from his previous part, the c h b, which is the main opposition party in turkey as well. however, in the last couple of days, it has some disturbing images, papes and the videos were still being circulated on social media targeting. she has a private life and also aiming to the fame him so often that they have seen that one of the possession of kansas model in jeff has announced his withdrawal was put on the race. and it said that there was a cost for the sea going on against him. so he is, we throw in putting out of the race for the benefit of the country, just hours of there's that she's and also most of the route to google the leader of the c panel. so the main position can, before the physician has to be test activities in russia or being behind the, this cost for us is it said that you're, you're behind the month,

it just costs for the seas and the faith content and pay of that. what expos, if this company, yesterday, the russian france and if you want to remain as a foot and then hands off at the hands of your, or your hands of the texas state. so she was accusing russell, of course, at this point, we do not know whether this was an assessment of the events or whether she has concrete documents showing that russia is really interested in, into turkish elections. however, in any way, his withdrawal is going to have the significance of implications in the upcoming elections. united states as it has the u. s. concerns about the ducking of a sanctioned russian congo ship, but a south african port last year. it says the russian ship, the lady, a picked up weapons during it stopped at a cape town, naval base and december comments of anchored south africa, which says there is no evidence to support the claim. but it's promised an investigation which is coming to some of the university of cape town. he says,

president, run the post that has given parliament as a model explanation. the presidency has equivocated some was on the one hand present. ralph was the top part of this often or that he would need to look into it. i think that was an on satisfactory officer. the circumstances were not a major power like united states, some of the concepts to see your credit and will make such a above a month with such false witnesses, the best a united states oscar to the sauce and there. and i think it would cause that unclear response. however, on the one of the united states have refused to hand over the evidence. as it was to the south african government, they say, according to the presidency of south africa, that they will only do so to a credible authority. so that raises the question of whether the united states now distrustfully sought after government such an extent that his own willing to give such evidence over to them. the presidency tells me that the presence of select us

around the post bed. i had no choice faced by on the one hand this up from the americans, on the other hand, is on government. saying that they have no knowledge of this. the defense ministry is told presidency. they have not sold or given us to the russians. and therefore, the president, this had to react by a point to not fully judge, to look into the matter or a south african president sterling, a post that has denied politicians, are sleeping on the jump. when it comes to the energy crisis. a court has ordered his government to exempt hospitals and schools from rolling blackouts to meet them in the reports from john his but these are the worst power cuts in 16 years, leaving large parts of south africa without electricity for 10 hours a day. the cause, old and badly maintained infrastructure for management and allegations of corruption at the state own energy utility is called the daily lives of tens of millions of south africans are disrupted and facilities such as schools and

hospitals have been severely impacted. trade unions and civil society recently want to quote, applications demanding these public services be exempt from the power cuts known as locating the soft and constitution makes it an explicit task of the government to provide for health care provide for safety and to provide for education. it's key that when you're going to have imaging, you come to live on that for the simple reason that when a child goes to a hospital in an incubator, they died. because incubators don't work in the middle of locating operations cannot be done. say crime is increasing during locating cause, the police simply don't have the equipment to do with crime with a time of rotating what the government says, the scheduled outages of preventing the total collapse of the grid. and that exempting certain areas from the blackouts is impossible. some analysts agree, yukon, it cuts off very small individual units. uh,

the way this normally works is that entire suburbs, a very large areas get cut off at the time. if you wanted to go to us a bunch of the other level you'd, you'd need far too many people to do that. you need to go to almost every hoss and switch them off the practically, it's just not possible. i'm, let's say the only way to get around this is to supply alternative energy sources, such as diesel generators of solar panels. many public facilities like this police station have backup generators to keep the power on. but analysts say the government can't afford to assist the facilities with a tentative energy sources and certainly not within 2 months. the installation would require long term planning and a lot of money with the deadline to abide by the court ruling fost approaching. the government says it plans to appeal to judgment to keep power cuts in place for me to molar ultra 0 to his book. the world health organization says the outbreak of impulse formerly known as monkey pulse is no longer a global health emergency. the smallpox related disease has been in parts of

central in west africa for decades, but people mainly infected by wild animals. but a year ago it stopped in splitting globally, eventually reaching a 100 countries. nearly 90000 cases and a 140 debts were reported. in recent months, there's been a dramatic drop in infections. now, lucas, down breaking up chemist on this threatening the we thomas, farmers are desperately trying to kill the pest out as it was james base has this report from butler prevents. so this is of kind of stones latest enemy, locusts, millions and millions of locusts. the country already has the worst humanitarian situation in the world with 97 percent of the population living in poverty. but a massive locust infestation is like to make things even worse. this was a weak field until a swarm of locusts haiti's after the collapse of the, of the games. you know, no, but if it isn't locust, you know,

in the locust this method to the 1st. and this is really then just because they can effect even more than a 100, the spaces or crops you know, in, in, in that got the if, whenever there is nothing, you know, a david 88 of a thing for you and is preparing for the set prediction suggest up to 1200000 metric tons of wheat and other crops could be destroyed as about a quarter of afghanistan's annual production. if you're looking at money $3.00 times at today's rates, that could be up to $480000000.00 for a country that doesn't have enough money or food. these insects could be devastating. are the methods used to remove the locus may seem primitive, but it works best swept off in a john top pull in the previous government had sprained capability. but for reasons that aren't clear, this is not being used by the tell about. the locus here are destroyed by pouring

them into pitch stuck in the ground, and then covering them with soil local farm. is it being paid by the un agency to carry out the work? it's some money for families whose crops and livelihoods have already been badly. h i spoke to have people from a local elder, was the default. we are very annoyed by these locust. the ito addressing damages our income in life, the eat or crops the we did, we grew here is damaged by the locust. since the taliban took control of the country nearly 2 years ago, lucas monitoring his lapse. and even if these athletes mean to you as was, is on met this year, things could still get worse. the lucas, the currently may thing. some are already laying the eggs. the next but safe left on treated the numbers next year could increase $100.00 fold. james base l g 0 baglan provence knowles and that's kind of stuff.
