12:02 pm
the space for him, the muslims were badly had as the one for a severe damage. operation trees and founding electricity lines. let's speak to tony chang. he joins us out from bangkok and neighboring thailand. he's monitoring the situation for us. tony was slowly getting a better sense of the number of casualties here. is it just comes causing the delay? it seems to be at the storm here. it's about midday local time on sunday. and yet only a couple of hours ago did we get a confederate poll? says several 100 people have died and they've been room is over the last couple of days on social media inside memo that they had been considerably more than just the 3 faith talents as being reported in the state media. i think it's expected at this stage that those numbers will probably increase. often more information comes out these numbers just coming from the rank of refugee or displaced. people comes up
12:03 pm
just outside scituate. there are launch areas a little further away, which is more remotes where the store may have done more damage. so i think it is a, it's not an ongoing situation where the casualty list may well increase attorneys. speaking of those kind of fees are really, really valuable people living and very flimsy structures as they are, the terrible counts were several 100000 people. but the in house since 2017 of fleeing the operations of me. i'm us military and the crack down on the right hand, a 1000000 sled over the build it into camps and bangladesh where they were also hit by the site that was noticed severely as many said. but here on the i just sense way. it seems to be very bad. a lot of the structures they were living in really just wouldn't post. plastic sheeting, corrugated on rooms, which have been completely destroyed. those structures which were not can also be
12:04 pm
built with breaks a lot of them. now missing rooms, windows, those, as we've seen, a video footage of food storage has been completely blown away, exposing the sags of rice inside castle lying dead and poles of flood was that there was a storm surge of up to 3 meters in some areas with the waves being blowing in from the sea, those winds reaching up to more than 200 kilometers an hour. so you can just imagine or that can due to the cramped conditions. and these counts were more than a 100000 people were living. and then turning, you mentioned is the crack down that is there a political, as i mentioned here, is people try to look for the rescue and recovery as well. unfortunately, there is these people who have been terribly ignored by me and most of them again, particularly since the middle of chicago 2021. although in the last couple of
12:05 pm
months we've seen me and most minute treat probably from pressure from outside from the chinese government. and from bangladesh who were increasingly concerned about the strain on their own results as to the men in rank are putting on them. so they've been trying to arrange a re penetration program. there were a hand getting, not surprisingly, given the persecution they faced in the past, a very reluctant to come back. and they weren't very solid guarantees from young mas, military government. this is going to make it even more difficult. those in the camps we understand have been trying to get in touch with relatives back home, many of whom can be contacted at the moment. we don't know. that's because there is a living in the being particularly bad. the hit or is just because of the communications lines down. i think when you look at the why, the picture, the right hand gets displaced within me and the full service sees living in camps and bangladesh with very limited results is this is an absolutely devastating. the we understand from the community is on the ground, that there is very little
12:06 pm
a coming from within me and there are no medical services. a told, i'm remember these are people who their own government wouldn't even recognize their nationality. so there's very this whole avenue they have to go to get a tiny change. then monitoring the situation for us from bangkok and neighboring thailand. thank you. tiny, or at least 6 people have been confirmed dead and several remain on accounted for officer fine as a hostile in new zealand is capital. wellington government agencies use the building as temporary combinations that the forces migrants and the bundle of people study a cosmo. residents were still asleep when the fire ripped through the loafers lodge and wellington, just after midnight, flane's trapped. psalm on the top floors forcing at least one person to jump to safety. many didn't make it as for the crazy cruise, it would have been pretty hard reflect the flames coming out of a boat and with people inside as is that was not there when you're white can from,
12:07 pm
you'll sleep with alarms going, smart. people would have thing pretty and most of trying to escape fire crusade. the building is on say, with the roof at risk of collapse. as the rubble is cleared, some people are still unaccounted for. that to me, i might to might it out. but um, the way things are looking for other people knowing the police say they're still investigating the cause no safety sprinklers were installed. what is clear is that the scale of the tragedy has come as a shock for new zealand capital. this is a major thing. we've not seen something on this scale and recent times, i'm sorry when we turn in, so feel the wellington is a small community, many of the occupants for vulnerable people place there by government agencies. that's led to questions about unsafe conditions and fears. it could happen again for the a car, out to 0 in your hands military says it's not down 18 ms miles long. just at the
12:08 pm
capital on monday night. officials say the attack so exceptional, involved crews and ballistic missiles as well as friends, people have been asked to remain indoors or in bomb shelters. meanwhile, the u. k. has reported its 1st advances and the eastern city of fuck worse than the surrounding areas which have been mostly held by russia's wagner, messner, a group. the ground forces commander has hailed the offensive actions of his troops . you create has been preparing for a long scale count to offensive against russia for months. progress don's prime minister is meeting security chiefs to discuss the latest unrest. tensions have been higher since the arrest of opposition needed among calling a week ago. on monday the $20000.00 government support is called for the resignation of the chief justice and the supreme court, and that's on the vaughn. he's accused of leniency and the corruption case against con honda has moved from the capital to the national security committee of the
12:09 pm
cabinet meetings or day. they would be raised by the country's military to the airport to the neighbors, as well as the army gave on what happened on the 9th when wireless took place and certain k as the nations were under a guy by a group called fault, protest guys. however, iran pon had goal is to issue the statement, saying he has credible and evidence to solid evidence that agencies read and was perhaps the agent from the pictures were in large wheel drive during size paper to go for certain places the board size and accusing each other and added some expectation that the government, the plans to bind his boxes and wrong kind of cause has said that he will continue his peaceful, broad day by day. it goes so res. apprehension that he may be addressed to uh for a long time in the near future. so indeed, uh,
12:10 pm
a wallet guy situation and everybody. uh, keeping those uh for the television that china has sentenced an american citizen to life in prison for spying. 78 year old junction, long, long was arrested 2 years ago. the us state department has not commented on this case, but that was also a residence of hong kong. i'm not city's chief executive has expressed confidence and it's communication with beijing. any person who is arrested by the law enforcement agencies in mainland china. that is a reporting mechanism for such a rest to be related to the home calls, warranties. uh, this has to be working well. the roots of timber has worn out from home. com which is certainly a concern to us, so thorough. it says that this be no official comment yet from the us embassy in beijing on this case, it's cited privacy concerns is the reasons not commenting on this case so far is
12:11 pm
also causing concern. here in hong kong, but chief executive, a said communication lines are certainly strong between the government here. and they also wrote this invasion from the public's point of view. this is again, causing a worries about whether hong kong residents to whether they have for a national citizenship or not, are also a potentially at risk of arrest on the chinese mainland, especially after the last 3 or 4 years of political turmoil. here with the g 7 approaching in japan, just coming up in a few days time. this type of concern over china is dealing with the rest of foreign nationals when in china is likely to come up with a tilting point because it's not just affecting us nationals. this is the latest in a series of cases of individuals with foreign citizenship being detained. in china, such as the australian journalist, young lady who's just past 1000th day of the tension on the chinese mainland, the charges of espionage against still not being fully explained on the still be no
12:12 pm
access school, the australian come to the representative in china to find out exactly what her situation is. so this again adding to that general concern from the us and this allies about how to deal with china over these types of detention activities. yeah . as long inquiry and has criticized the f. b, i is handling of an investigation into a possible collusion between russia and donald trump's 2016 presidential campaign. federal counsel john durham says the agency like the evidence and relied to too heavily on tips from trumps political opponents. the former president is now urgent congress to take action, describing the prove as prison and the crime of the century. has he called hangover from washington dc? the f b i went to far as to hear us conservative media. tell it this report is a huge stories, something of this nature takes down the entire organization. a major bombshell and former president trump quickly took the social media claiming it was treason and the crime of the century. but experts close to the case say that in reality,
12:13 pm
it doesn't actually say any of that. here are some of the concerns that the during report raises were already flagged before. so my impression so far is that there isn't a whole lot new here that hasn't already been identified. but i don't think it's any kind of of wins for donald trump or for his print campaign that he says it is john durham who is appointed by trumpet officials was critical of the f. b i for an investigation based on, on analyzed and unsubstantiated intelligence. but he only brought 3 criminal cases against low level people. 2 were acquitted, and one pled guilty to falsifying an e mail and did not serve any time in jail. but the investigation durham was looking into which turned into the pro by special council rubber molar. did see significant arrest 8 tough trump officials found guilty of serious crimes. so of course,
12:14 pm
the big question is, is this going to impact trump as he tries to win the presidency? again? probably not. he has just recently been found guilty of battery and a woman in the defaming her order to pay $5000000.00. he's facing 34 felony coast in manhattan for his business dealings. he's under investigation to atlanta for potential election interference. and there is another special council investigating whether or not he had a role in the january 6 interaction, or whether he stole readings of classified documents and then tried to hide, hide them, and not given back to investigators. all that said, what trump is done with every single one of these cases is used it to successfully fundraiser particle high elda 0, washington. the still ahead hit on al jazeera confrontations between supporters of seneca, yourself position the that was most sancho and security forces. as he's due to appear in court plus i'm very shovel in for the prince of this house production, haiti's, cap, violence and
12:15 pm
a non functioning governments. have left people have been done to their face. the . i had a low that off the weeks of relentless heat across much of south east asia, particularly northern parts of the region. temperatures have come down to the heat is still there, sparking some under storms, particularly in the afternoon. that will continue for much of the philippines as well as the eastern areas of indonesia on thursday. but we'll see the what to whether picking up across the west as we go into thursday with some heavy falls for southern parts of vietnam. now the heat does continue though for thailand, particularly across the southern areas bangkok, seeing the temperature continuing to rise as we go towards the late half of the week. partly cloudy day on thursday, but 39 degrees celsius are lots of heat for
12:16 pm
a stranger to the laundry sex, old picture, clear sky for much of the country. since i was aware of a creeping interest sydney, we could see some fun to read down pools that but launch because as we head west for places like put the temperature, continuing to rise with lots of sunshine, that's been around the cold across the southeast corner temperature is sitting low as those cooler conditions continue to blow through. and we are going to see things turn rob a cold phone using the south island thanks to a weather system that's bringing some heavy rain and a bit of a wintry mix to most central areas by wednesday, christ church, 17 degrees celsius. the
12:17 pm
the imagine watching out a 0. let's remind you about top stories this out. at least 200 people left and confirm instead of to slightly mock us. what across the western man on the desk told could still rise as communication lines all down, making it difficult to assess the extent for them as far as a hospital in new zealand is capital. wellington has left at least 6 people that
12:18 pm
government agencies use the building as short term, a combination of migrants and as long as the people ukraine's ministry says, a 12 down 18 messiah as most of a capital on monday nights. officials say the attacks were exceptional and involved crews and ballistic missiles, as one is front facing between the sudanese army on the power military rapids support forces has not entered its 2nd month as negotiations continue about safe passage for 8 deliveries. the 2 sides continue to blame each of them for the escalation of violence, especially in the west of the country. fighting in west style for is sending more refugees into a neighboring chat. same as robbie has moved from $1.00 an eastern chap. the border between chide and su dunn is porous and wild. lately you can see smoke rising in the distance, faint and far away. but those living here save that is alternate. now the capital of west are for burning the most active hawks button,
12:19 pm
so don't conflict 2nd only to hard to oh, no arm to villagers caught up in violets. a consequence of the fight for control of the country. refugees here say they escaped in the night. searching for days to find a safe crossing, they describe gangs of on demand and vehicles harassing them, reading their villages, holding them against their will and killing people. so you can ask them, i do not everybody came. we left the old people there so there we can't go back to get them. we don't know what to do. we don't have anything to go and fight these people. but maybe the government, the child can help us rest of the elder. don't know if they're going to give another. there is concern. what is happening there? could happen here. driving up here, we could see plumes of smoke rising all along the horizon in different areas on the student side of the border. if we were to start walking, we'd be on the other side of the border into don in about 10 minutes. when we got here, the people that had fled, those villages told us that those were their homes on fire. and if they still have
12:20 pm
people there, chads army garrisoned additional troops at audrey and the pilots broke out into one local leader said in chad, there was a soldier under every tree. a warning to are into groups on the other side of the border to bed and tearing for doors remain open. but the military is on high alert on the portable dock because there is enough to control this is if your neighbors hotels on fire, you must prepare yourself. so yours doesn't catch fire too. you will see the coffee on the refugees should feel at home. here he says, the cross border attacks into chad have happened in the past of all of the world that are built up areas offer some protection villages would be as vulnerable as those on the student east side. we'll see about how much family lives in chad. but her farm is in, so we don't. she says it's been occupied by raiders for son and husband are stuck.
12:21 pm
their name was that of we just need help. bring a security. we need security to remain here with us. so yesterday there was also smoke and a lot of gunfire. we here just all the we are afraid all day because the smoke is so close, we can see it a tier the lives of sudanese and try to straddle the imaginary lines that divide their countries. they share the same space, the same vulnerabilities as the newly exiled who can only look back at home were loved ones are left behind. perhaps yet unaware of a sobering statistic. most refugees who come here from who don't never go back. st bus drive l g 01 dollar eastern chide only just has a and talking there about janina and his report on the sudanese doctors union it says $200.00 and a few people have been killed in that city in west awful in just 2 days. a sizing is as members of the rapids of old forces, stormed the city on friday and full that with local on groups senegalese opposition
12:22 pm
need at least one sancho is use of here and course on rape charges. on monday, some of the support has confronted the security forces in a town in the south. a police officer was killed and several demonstrators also injured. sancho tonight is the rape charges and says a pause of prison law. he sells assets to prevent him from running and next to his election, the pacing is struggling with the deepening through monetary and crisis. gang related violence has taken over nearly the entire capital and access to services such as health care came horses and sanitation had been compromised to reasonable reports from the haitian capital. this is haiti's largest hospitality and it has been almost abandoned for 5 months. but even though no doctors are on site, some patients remain here because they have nowhere else to go. do you mention we will short by getting members in december can use to be a mobile phone salesman. but he has not been able to go back to work with them back
12:23 pm
. i mean, i went to a private hospital and i spent everything i had and then i had to come here. i can't afford the medicines and here there is nothing they all know doctors to k for us. doctors that these hospitals has been on strike for months. they say their salaries, their work environment, and the violence in the area make it almost impossible to do their job. feel actually the one of the most violent neighborhoods in puerto prince is not far from here since the assassination of president julian invoice 2 years ago. he has been caught in the middle of a political and social crisis that has guns, controlling the streets, the into him prime minister, seems unable to restore order. everything for him on says the government has forgotten this hospital, which plays a crucial role in the cities health care system. ms. i see about by the haitian government doesn't care about this place because they have private hospitals to
12:24 pm
make money. those who can't afford a private clinic have nowhere else to go. sometimes they die in their homes. there is no warranty where we electricity. when we've visited the patients, asked us before. this is the largest hospital in haiti and it has been barely working for the past 5 months. the pediatrics unix has just started to work once again very, very slowly. but when we arrived here, we found oldest children that you can see here that have been abandoned then is 12 years old. the calculus is 10. and this baby is 6 months old. don't mind see a mess here, testing taken care of them. we stay here day and night, so these children on live to line. we should have gone because of the strike, but we can't leave them. we feed them with whatever we can find. people in haiti are struggling with gang violence for shortages and a non functioning government that has called on the international community for
12:25 pm
help. for now, it seems the cold remains and hard pity. so i'll just see that for the prince. june is in opposition. nita ross has energy has been sentenced and up sentient to a year in prison on charges of incitement. can you change who is and now been in jail since april leads been left the policy and is a very quick critic and present kind of side. he says a trial as soon as it came reservation of every day. life is resuming and gaza off to a cease fight ended several days of as rarely as strikes. people involved in fishing are among those going back to west. thousands of people in the besieged territory belie on the industry for their livelihoods, but amongst all thoughts from gaza. amelia, early morning, sight for generations and gossip, the territories fishing boats returning to hall. but the unloading of the adults today is especially urgent. these next haven't been used for nearly
12:26 pm
a week. and one of the men and boys here were blocked by israel's military, from earning their living assignment. i've seen his decision to stay home during the recent escalation and violence was also a show of solidarity for friends and neighbors and trash. i know i'm interested in . it was unavoidable. we couldn't just go to work on the day when there were people killed and others injured. we have to feel what others felt. but as soon as the strikes on gauze ended, he and his crew started working and he hasn't stopped to sleep since then. of the 20 years of what he calls freedom. see who sam hates being stuck on land on the days that the fisherman's forced to stay at home because there's nothing to catch and it just costs diesel to sale. but there are lots of problems and troubles on those things at home because he can't provide it for his family. my 2nd mind about a 100000 people in gaza rely in some way on fishing for their livelihood. the catch
12:27 pm
is starting to the ducks, then move to a nearby market. the crabs shots, streams, and saw deans are on the menu and the buyers off hungry pop the several days of no business because of embodiments trading. he is for nothing now is middle man representing the boat captain, sell the fish on to market. trade is probably on the deal is one of the men in the middle of a given some price, haggling, the recent blockade on gauze fishing boats. he says another problem alongside a full in fish, stops by the some of the previous week. there was no wood because they weren't any fish to catch the fisherman. that's a tragedy because you have family to provide for every escalation and fighting means. normal economic life grinds to a different view. it's not hooked up again. they stop down livelihood. so they
12:28 pm
stopped at work and suddenly we found ourselves in the middle of rock. it was good . no problem was. the rockets was fresh moaning fish, another reminder of what people in garza stand to gain when peace is possible. the filaments, alger 0 garza, the well for the 1st time the un general assembly has come memories of the knock, but also known as the catastrophe. as when hundreds of thousands of palestinians were forced to be removed from their homes to make way for the establishment of the state of israel christian sending the reports from the un event mocking the 75th anniversary. the palestinian showed off their culture and their resolve at the united nations on monday,
12:29 pm
when for the 1st time ever, the general assembly acknowledged the knock by the forcible displacement of 750000 palestinians. in 1948 resulted in the u. n. z 1st. and longest standing refugee crisis, and one of its most intractable conflicts, historians took note of the event. i think it symbolically important that the united nations mark what became a tragedy for the policy people, which was in part a result of an action taken by the united. there's still a narrative that's pervasive in the american media and in american politics whereby these things are, are somehow covered by israel security, but that margin is growing narrower and narrower. and on the international level, i think it's really, it's really a about to disappear israel called the event anti semitic, and encouraged other countries not to take part of this biased organization is distorting its own history. i'm working to ensure that the member states on the
12:30 pm
stand, the pending this despicable event means destroying any chance of peace by adopting the police being a narrative. quoting reestablishment of the state of is read a disaster, palestinian president, mom who the loss of dress, the gathering for an hour, and called out the united states and britain for continuing to protect israel with their veto power and the security council. i looked at each other, i got that for you guys. i mean that they took part in rendering our people victims when they decided to establish another entity in our historic homeland for their own colonial goals and objectives. israel would not have continued to talk still these and the aggression without the support receives from these 2 countries. i'm beat to this day. palestine does not enjoy the rights of the member state here at the united nations and to key security council. resolutions were never implemented . one, creating 2 states, israel and palestine side by side.
