a new president's. the post has been vacant since october 2022. the you're watching all to 0. my for my headquarters, and i'm telling you, navigate to also ahead. ukraine says russian missile strikes in odessa have hit commercial areas killing at least 3 people. the former us president donald trump dismisses visit statements, has a she has abuse of power and pleads not guilty. china says, ties with the united states are facing new difficulties and a phone call with secretary state anthony blanket, the lebanese politicians have failed to elect a new president's. yet again, this is the 12th time legislators were unable to agree on a successor to michelle on to m. p. 's have been competing for that. top job

matters, a party leaders, they mindful engineer and the former finance ministers who had as our award list comes as an economic crisis continues and the former president shuttle owns term ended in october last year. we have been a hold of joining us from bay to it, so they know this was expected, but what happens next to us neither candidates received the 2 thirds vote needed to win the presidency. $86.00 co chair that was who will receive $59.00. so i man from g, the candidates of the husband to let the alliance of 51. what should have happened was a 2nd round of voting should have taken place, but the she all parties walked out, which means there's no quorum. there will be a fault. and this happens in the previous 11 sessions and the opposition is accusing. the speaker of parliament, of violating the constitution is in loveland on you know, decisions,

politics usually happens outside the halls of power, not inside state institutions. you know, on the surface. this looks like a practice or an exercise in democracy. now has the law is being criticized for trying to impose it's candidates, a candidates who should be a christian 11 on one. so terry and power sharing agreement, the main christian parties in parliament are voting for us or say, man friend, t, the candidates of has the lot, represents a very small christian faction and lacks the communal legitimacy. so this is not just a political crisis, it is also a sectarian one, and it's not just that's what significant this time around is that the she all parties lost their main christian ally. and she brought the seals, the f, b m party who voted for c as as or now they have to wait for the speaker, probably minutes to set a new date. but they have not been on without the consensus, and possibly without the help of outside powers, it would be highly unlikely for

a president to be to be elected. ok. so how do people 11 on feel about this political vacuum and is that having any impact on the country already stalls by an economic crisis of the yes, people are tired, people are fed up. people are struggling this year for now into a very deep economic crisis. the financial meltdown, banks are in solving the currency has crashed. the majority of the population earn in the local currency, and this is an enforce dependent country. so the quality of life has changed. it's not just that the space is near the bankrupt and it's a, it has listed subsidies on basic goods, which, you know, people, people are struggling cause of high food prices. there are no jobs. a people are trying to leave the country when they can. the state can even provide electricity so much for water or, or health care. a teachers have been on stripe, children are not going to school and i can keep going on and on. the list really goes on and that's why there's a need for presidents in order to

a point itself from as a government and the parliament that can enact reforms to unlock billions of dollars and age. but those in power, the political class itself to their benefits. if that happens because they will lose their control over states, resources and the state becomes more powerful than them. and the people rely on the states instead of that. so this is a very, this is a country that has seen and the ability for it for, for decades, but never before really has the collapse been the spot. thank you so much and for the, for that update from data. well, israel's problem into preparing to vote on a key part, a prime minister benjamin netanyahu is propose judicial reforms. the parliament will be picking 2 members of the panel that appoints judges, that move will give politicians greater control of that process. and sparks months of protests before being paused, buying us and yahoo earlier this year for the marks is joining us now from west jerusalem to we have any idea of which way that vote will go overland.

not at this point that we've done. but once the critical hair about this site is about trying to decide the makeup of the commission that ultimately decides who the traditional. oh many for israel supreme court going to be? historically, 2 of those 9 members of commission have been from inside the cannot sit opposite, been lawyers and judges. typically you'd have one person with a government, one person person from the opposition, but one of the potential outcomes of today's vote is the majority of the committee that does both to have 2 members from inside. nothing else is governing coalition on the panel. that will be a very, very severe reaction opposition policy to say to that decision because it will mean that the company policies of the moment will have great control over the make up sensitive a spring coal. it's been a big part of the so called judicial reforms. and of course, as you mentioned something that was very, very controversial. we're expecting many, many more process if this indeed goes through. yeah. which is what i wanted to ask you about. just put this into context for us and tell us

a little bit more about how, what happens today will, will affect the judicial overall and the reform funds. so the whole it outside of this it by and that's and yahoo and members of it's hard, right. coalition, they have been talking about this for a long time. we saw this very visceral, very immediate reaction on the streets of his route, particularly in cities like tennessee, but we've had weekly protests for months and months and months if this element which was put on the backburner not so long ago, under pressure from business leaders here from international i like the united states. if it does go through, we've been told that will be far more protests. we've heard from offices and politicians. they will be furious and the possibility of long term consensus compromise over these are the holes will be dead in the water. they've said, thank you so much for the marks for that update from western as ukraine's as at least 3 people had been killed in a russian missile strike on the port city of address. um, it's the 2nd straight there for tax on ukrainian cities. the regional

administration says for massages were far from a ship in the black sea. the 3 victims were working at a warehouse of business center shops on the residential complex were also damaged. the attack comes a day after russian air strikes on the city of tributary killed. 11 people during the whole has more from keep it comes 24 hours after this, i was struck a 5 story of possibility with the central city of creevy reached the desk, told the currently stands at 11 with 30 in goods and in the my hours of wednesday morning, it was odessa as to the black sea port city full caliber missiles fired, 3 brought down by defenses, one getting through and striking at civilian infrastructure, including what's described as a residential complex and shopping malls. 3 reported dead, the 13 injured with rescue efforts still going on and further reports this morning . also coming in of early hours, attacks on 2 times in the eastern doughnuts region, kind of

a tourist and constant to me. see, 3 people injured, the killed, the with 3 for the injuries reported the bell of russian presidents. alexander lucas jenko says that his country has started taking delivery or russian tactical nuclear weapons, moscow based, or unless you will yet shuffle rollover as more a present. look, a shawn cody said that a bell ever had received muscles and bones for russia, which was 3 times more powerful than those dropped on the trip in the cities of hiroshima and nagasaki. in 1945, according to his estimates of using such weapons. can, you know, can cause 1000000 people to die instantly and he added that, god forbid is his use. so basically he said, that's a home, be a problem to use nuclear weapons. it was thoughts about the bill are from president also said that russian toxic on nuclear weapons would be stored at several sides.

and the republic i'm basically earlier in may, we had from the, the russian science they reported that they had a raise. it receives the, it's kind of a missile system capable of using photos, conventional and nuclear weapons. and that's some been the russian at cross had been modified to use nuclear weapons. at the same time, russia will not give control over its texaco nuclear weapons developers. and most could, will make decisions regarding the use of it and the decision deployments of the equipment decision rather now it was 1st announced by present patients back in march. so in light of lodge, we hear a few very, very quiet acts of his voices calling for the total elimination of nuclear weapons . that it should be. why told the face of the us? because initially it was designed as a means of the terrans. but when somebody does directly threatened to use it, which can lead to the total destruction of be well's population, that's something needs to be done by old. china has worn the us to stop meddling

and its affairs or undermining its sovereignty. security when it comes to issues like taiwan. so this was during a phone call between it's for a minister of the us sector states. but in the tweets blinking said, they discussed ongoing efforts to maintain open channels of communication as well as bi lateral on global issues. so let's find out more about that phone call with katrina uses joining us from beijing. so basing set that this call was a warning. what does it tell us about the expected meeting on sunday? well they doing is sitting quite an icy tone with this phone call ahead of this expected physical anthony blinking on sunday time. his card minister shouldn't gone warning us against interfering and trying this cool interest specifically with taiwan, which aging says is chinese territory. so it's play here that agent wants to accuse strong ahead of this meeting with this, which is supposed to reset the 2 racing ties between the us and china. now aging

says that despite the by did administration saying that it wants to engage further with china aging says that it's being disingenuous. it says that the actions are not matching up with its woods and in recent days and weeks time is foreign. ministry has pointed to several examples of what it says is a us, the us, a being insincere and wanting to set a more friendly terms with aging. it's pointed to example. uh, for example, in recent days just be us me uh, naming through us one chinese entities, putting them on the export control list for the sake of national security is accused china of having a slight base in cuba on the us. those steps also says that us, the us officials have said that china is military, has conducted unsafe maneuvers in the south trying to see and of course, applied in himself in may a curious china of economic wares and on the globe and stage. so it's clear that there is very high mistrust between both sides of the aging, blaming us squarely for the deterioration and this relationship. right. so it

sounds like there's a lot of at stake, katrina, this would be the 2nd attempt for blinking to visit china. that's right, the 2nd attempt, if he does go through with his visit, he will be the highest us ranked official visit 25 years and of course his visit was initially planned for february, but that was cancelled really at the 11th hour because of the discovery of a suspected chinese spy balloon or the us at that time. now, many indigenous community of watching this meeting play. see they all hoping that this does go ahead the split the i've seen this in that turn between the 2 parties at the moment. typically, china's neighbors are what anxious about the level of distress between the 2 sides . they're worried that tensions will spiral somehow into conflict. and the very keen full of both washington and the aging to sit god rails in order to stabilize this very important relationship. thank you. so much katrina,

you for that update from beijing. the former us president donald trump has pleaded not guilty to $37.00 federal criminal charges related to the handling of government services. secrets, excuse me. he's accused of retaining national defense information after leaving office and conspiring to obstruct justice. trump is campaigning for the 2024 presidential election. and so as the indictment is one of the saddest days in american history. island, fisher reports from miami. as we have a written discovery, we have a country that is corrupt. we have a country this got to florida, is the country that's got nothing but problems. we are a nation wide and then they do this to find donald trump greeted in miami, just minutes after being sweet tempered oddly. from the custody of the government he once led. he stopped off with a cuban american cathy, a hot bed of supporters. the story quote, appeared. this lasted 47 minutes. there were no cameras in court to record the

moment. donald trump faces suck the 7 charges. prosecutors say he screamed and lied to stop the government, recovering sensitive documents, dealing with america's nuclear arsenal and military readiness. his lawyer entered a plea of not guilty before the heating, one of his legal team attacked the prosecution. what we are witnessing today is the waiting and unapologetic weapon is ation of the criminal justice system. the bite in a point appointed special council has thought fit to bring $37.00 federal charges against president trump. the leading front runner less than a year and a half before an election. the police were ready for the crate of up to 50000. it was nowhere near his big, the majority showing their support for the former president, a few voices of descent. the american people are not stupid anymore. they realize what it is and his phone numbers are going to go up. he's not going to pull out of

the race no matter what, and he's going to win with an oval. i mean, land sizes, caring, and diamond is based on his own words. and the testimony of his closes, the bars and lawyers. slam dunk trump was the least on board and he didn't have to post money or surrender his passport, but he's for bidding from talking to witnesses unless it's through their lawyer. is this both a keyed left, the court host, it was rushed by a lone protest to who was quickly taken to the ground and arrested. back in his bed, mister gulf estates in new jersey, the former president felt comfortable to go in the attack once more clutching to flight the charges. and i'm not the one who thinks i'm above the law. i'm the one that followed the law. i'm the only way it's joe 5 and that is corrupt, department of injustice who think they are above the law. never before had the 2

standards of justice in our country been more starkly revealed. donald trump clearly believes he's won the battle in the court of public opinion with his own supporters and potential republican voters. but the actual court case goes on with legal arguments discovery. and the potential that a former president of the united states could go on trial here before the end of the year. and at the height of the republican primary season, island fisher, i'll just say to miami, still has on al jazeera scientists war. and the threat from a volcano in the philippines could persist for months, forcing thousands to prepare for long term displacements. the now this should be the time of year where you don't see that when he shouts even

easier, but you do get interruptions in that pass. and this is one of those interruptions. we saw a lot of heavy sherry rain from west patio westwards and it's still there even if you follow tend to bone you into something to monitor and maybe west and java much of java and small on the east look still dry for that. symbolize your in most se, march are not particularly right, are the, but you can see this anymore, right? and then you might expect, but for australia, it is exactly as you might expect. the most active frontal system, which is that one that got suppressed on its way across the tasman, see the following fonts up front sounds so active. so attempt to the way they should be and bit of clad. this guy brings a little bit of light. raymond, nothing but will not attempt reserve and not talking about that wants to where they should be. it is after ulton, this is enjoying 19 degrees. more kind of right here, reentering, wasting australia at least on the sides. and also news even having had high pressure sitting over you for a couple of days. it has a really right and has got cold at night. and that is the active frontal system

that's talking about. it's trying to make progress, but it really isn't doing very much spinning right in oakland, few, she hasn't just been otherwise enjoy the sunshine african narrative from african perspective. you just have to keep pushing because no one else can see. the vision is key, is you to do short documentary, it's fine for can still make it from ivory coast. and some journal got an estimate in zambia, a new series of african direct on our the,

[000:00:00;00] the, on the top stories on how to 0, lebanese politicians have failed to elect a new president for the 12 time. last president's term had ended in october 2022. this comes as an economic crisis continues. ukraine sized place 3 people have been killed in a russian missile strike on the 4th to the front desk for themselves were fired from a ship in the black seats. a residential complex, some shops were damaged. the former us president donald trump has described criminal charges against him is outrages and fishes. he appeared in a miami court on tuesday and pleaded not guilty to 37 counts related to his handling of classified documents. coastal areas of western india and southern

a 31 year old man uh on suspicion of murder. on tuesday he remains in police custody and then not looking for anybody else. so by they say they are keeping an open mind as to the motive they haven't stress. the fact is they did early on tuesday that they were working with counts of terrorism offices. but as normal procedure, i think the, the feeling is that base was one person on the road who allegedly carried out all of those attacks which have really sat and particularly the student community. here in nothing. i mean numbers in the 10s of thousands. there are 2 major universities and that is going to be a visual at nothing. i'm university where the students who were killed a was studying on wednesday and perhaps a bigger one in the city center on thursday of terms for p faults to try and reflect on what happens. thank you so much. i mean by that for that updates from not in the media page. well,
