8:04 pm
the expulsion of migrants from that city. for more on this story, let's bringing that melick trying to who's on the border between that tunisia and libya. malik doors remarks by the president were rab labeled rather as racist and hateful. what impact have they had? do you think of as well there inside of commons? i mean, look, place that eat is dealing with a and i can, i can nomic problem in tunisia. people are really upset with how the government has a handle of the economy. and so people, what, you know, analysts and people tell you is that place. so it is using the african, the migration problem that people are not happy with as an escape go to sort of mitigate people's people's anger at the government. so, you know, i mean to, to suggest that that being, being black is not as lie mc or arrow is,
8:05 pm
uh, what many people will tell you is completely not true. and after, you know, we are talking about politics. but this is people that were talking about people in dire need of health, as we saw from your report at the top of the show. or can you tell us a little bit more about the situation at the border stair incomplete window. i mean, they're stuck between a rock and a hard place. they're stuck between 2 knees in board at the border border uh, officials and, and the living side. i mean, when we visited that site, we can clearly see on demand on the, to easy inside. you know, and the, and the, and the, these migrate these migrants and refugees and asylum seekers stuck between them and the libyan border patrol officers, you know, when we, when we went in to talk to them, people told us they haven't had food water for shelter for 6 days in the b c,
8:06 pm
the scorching heat, i mean this is desert terrain of the situation is really desperate. people are injured. we saw, you know, menu was injured. we saw women and children. i mean, just the desperation that these people are facing is just, is just as, as, as, as, as not. right. and we're seeing human rights organizations, civil rights activists. a talk about their plight. i mean, what are they supposed to do? you know, they were forcibly taken from soc, is put in this, in this territory, in between the borders of the libyans are not allowing the man and the libyans will tell you, you know, when we spoke to officials, they said, we have the right to, to not allow and treats of people without you know, just like any state, if anyone who wants to come in, can civil show us passports, visas, and, and, and, and travel documentation. and those that don't, we were,
8:07 pm
we have the right to refuse entry. they're saying that this is like to need you in problem that the, these migrate, these people are on the to nation side. and the so to museums, responsibility to have, to bring in some kind of a, some kind of, you know, humanitarian assistance. but really just seeing the sheer amount of people and how desperate they are, how hungry and thirsty they are a drinking drinking seawater. i was really what it is, is a really devastating sight. and some sort of a solution needs to happen where these people can get assistance. and then how, how's that happen sooner than later? because the situation is only getting worse. certainly a desperate situation there. thanks so much for the update. malik traina on the border of tennessee. i am going to be moving on. now in the un secretary general says he's against the continued use of cluster munitions. this comes in us plans to send weapons to ukraine. jimmy has also oppose the move cluster munitions have been
8:08 pm
denounced for, causing a high number of civilian deaths and injuries. so what a cluster munitions? well, the missile kind of stairs contained hundreds of smaller bones of bone legs that break upon me with a wide spread and devastating impact. the international committee of the red cross is as many as 40 percent of the bone. let's fail to detonate. and then pose a threat to civilians. awesome decades lights a cluster munitions have banned by most countries, but not the united states. ukraine, russia and others. human rights. what you choose is both ukraine and russia, if killing civilians with these weapons. a white house correspondent, kimberly healthcare, joins us live now. kimberly, what's the thinking of the one house on this particular decision of the all the same day is that the towns are offensive by ukraine against russia has been lagging and that there is a need given the fact that the west has a dwindling supply of conventional western ray as su,
8:09 pm
plus up in terms of weapons. and so as a result, there has been a discussions that have been ongoing between the white house patches on the and capitol hill about the use of cluster munitions. and ultimately, it has been decided as recently as of the last 24 hours that there should be a go ahead to use these weapons that we're hearing that this package, in terms of weaponry, may be in the tune of about 800000000. but that is a rough estimate. we're still waiting to hear from the national security advisor, jake sullivan. we had been hoping that that announcement could come down about now, but the white house briefing has been delayed by at least one hour. so we're still waiting to get the official word, but again, that is expected to come down through the national security advisor. we're still waiting, but what we should point out in all of this is that it is highly controversial,
8:10 pm
as you've pointed out, so much so that the us president had to override us lot in order to make this announcement to the fact that the us congress itself a really shied away from using these in terms of us policy some time ago in the us president had to sign a waiver in order to get the go ahead for using cluster munitions. simply as you say, you're waiting for that particular briefing, but has the controversy surrounding these phones being addressed at all by anyone from the one house as well. we're going to try and pose those questions to the national security adviser, but i can tell you they are highly controversial as the last time that they've been used as a, during the presidency of george w bush. she was heavily criticized, given the fact that we know according to you and statistics, but it's civilians that are hurt the most by these. given the fact that they tend
8:11 pm
to have a very high dead rate if you willer failure rate, meaning that they're lingering on the battlefield and civilians pick these up. often children think they're a little balls to play with, and they're injured and maimed sometimes for decades after the conflict and some that's the problem the, the stars left behind are lingering for decades. and so that is why these are in the terms of the humanitarian groups really unpopular. and the other problem that makes this and popular, even within the, by the ministration is at the bottom. and ministration said, it's foundation of foreign policy was going to be a holding human rights. and yet this seems so talent or to that. and so that is what is perplexing and all of this. and that is why there are a lot of questions about why the box and ministration is decided to use these now. okay, we'll cross back to you in that briefing happens. thanks so much as always. kimberly helped get a white house correspondent and diplomatic edison. james spies is that the military
8:12 pm
headquarters in brussels, with reaction from member states to this decision or the german foreign minister has already said. she's opposed to sending any cluster munitions to ukraine. it's a difficult issue for the nato alliance because if you look at the 31 members, about 2 thirds of them have signing the international treaty against the use of cluster munitions. and so a difficult problem, i think, for the nato secretary general, his official position is that nato doesn't have a position on this is up to individual countries while they send to ukraine. but he knows the public and nato countries. they have a position on best and most oppose the use of class to munitions. and that's why the secretary general was choosing is, was very cafe. when i spoke to him across the nation is all the only in use a, in the, in the war on both sides. um, the difference is that russia uses the customizations in the water aggression to
8:13 pm
occupied to control and they, ukraine, why ukraine is using it to defend itself against aggression. it is up to individual allies to make specific decisions on what type of needed to support they provide. to ukraine was support. uh, mentored aids are in support with me to a to train about exactly what type of weather they provide this type of a mission. that's what didn't do it all last of this. this just one of a number of issues that nathan most space over the coming days with a big summit all the nights are leaders gathering in vilnius next week. that's still the issue of sweden wanting to join nato. to, to looking sweden, but it's now going to be a last minute somebody ahead of the nato summit with the president of took you and the prime minister suite. and trying to solve this problem out once in full. and there's on so the aspirations of ukraine to join nato. they want to see some clear language, concrete, paul,
8:14 pm
for them to join nato in the reason in the near future. um, i can tell you allies are still working very, very hard on the language that we go into a final communicate about that issue. james, based out to 0, nato headquarters in brussels. the explosions had been heard in the student a city of on demand earlier. and the combined is a power millet treats from the rapids. simple forces attached to the general combined headquarters fighting in on demand and in the capital cartoon has been in hence the un security council has meant to discuss these riley assault in the occupied westbank city of janine earlier this week, that has been a wave of violence in the region, since the latest is in nablus, where funerals have been health of to palestinians killed in and his riley right them. it happened days after the souls and there janine refugee camp. they killed 12. tell us the news is riley prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the crackdown
8:15 pm
will continue. island fisher has the laces from ramallah in the occupied was by now what we're told by people in nablus is that before dawn there was a long line of there's really military vehicles in a convoy entering the old part of the city from 3 different directions that were heading to one house, was a believe that to man, the village were responsible for the shooting at this a madison community where they were new injuries earlier this week. where hiding once the convoy got to the place and there were a number of skirmishes on its way and they asked the man to give up. they were met by a responsive gunfire, an improvised explosive devices. they've been opened up according to locals with a huge garage of guns, fine, and even seeing the pictures and social media certainly sustains those claims. during that exchange of fire, the 2 men were killed. now we're told that they'd be named as homes that must pool and kitty shaheen, both members of finally of the popular front for the liberation of palestine. and
8:16 pm
in the last few hours, the funerals have already taken place. but it's a sign of the increase tensions here. you remember that after what happened didn't you need a 40 hour is really military operation which claimed the lives of 12 palestinians wounded more than a 120 of them. critically wounded at many palestinians groups. was that there would be a response to that and these really prime minister insisted there would be more operations in the style of janine. so that is why security across the occupied westbank is high. why tension in every community is even higher, and there's no site that this cycle is about to end any time soon? island, for sure. i'll just see you to ramallah about as the man has been shot dead by his riley forces in the north west of ramallah. it happened in the village of old south in the occupied west bank. $190.00 and palestinians had been killed since the
8:17 pm
beginning of this year, including $37.00 children. the still ahead on elgin's 0. residents, coal is in ours in a prison, we report from a deprived french neighborhood. plus, i believe the potential to lead with a greater level of efficiency and effectiveness. can human leaders, robots, attempt to reassure people that artificial intelligence one take over the jobs or the well the frank assessments? quite frankly. let's address the elephant in the room. the reason the south koreans want their own newsletter to terrace is because they don't trust the us informed opinions. fighting has basically lost this thing up so far that it is impossible virtually for somebody else, 7 to the race at this point in depth analysis of the case headlines. so then,
8:18 pm
by the end of the states that there is no strong government to control and which means that this might affect other countries inside story on al jazeera, the thing that they pushing the want to blow by the perspectives the,
8:19 pm
[000:00:00;00] the hello, you're watching l g 0, i'm emily, and when he's reminder about top stories this hour, hundreds of african migraines say they've been expelled from tunisia and announced stranded at some libyan florida. they say they being forced to drink sea water to survive. and libyan border gods refused to let them in. funerals had been held for 2 palestinians killed him and his riley right in nablus. it's the latest is riley, offensive in the occupied west bank just days after a major sold in the janine refugee camp. the un security council has meant to discuss that range un secretary general says he's against continued use of cost to
8:20 pm
munitions and standing comes as the us plans to send those weapons to ukraine. gemini has also applies to move. south korea says japan's plan to dump more than a 1000000 tons of trade in radioactive waste water into the pacific mates international standards. the u. n's, nuclear watchdog approved the project this week. rafael grossey visited the focus human nuclear power plant, which was severely damaged during the 2011 earthquake. and so now me is due to visit south korea and pacific islands next, where they have been concerns about the japanese plan. and in response, china says it will bend food imports from 10 japanese regions because of safety concerns. chinese health officials are planning strict and monitoring. so radioactive substances, especially in fish, radiation testing is also being increased in south korean and fish markets. or early i spoke with timothy moose. so who's
8:21 pm
a biology professor with the university of south carolina? he says it's impossible to be sure there'll be no consequences. as a result of this was a release. we really have insufficient information to, to assess the long term sort of, chronic exposure effects to the environment. you know, the, in a recent review of, of the literature, we found that there were just a few 100 papers that dealt with us and, and, and so the, the, the real concerns is that tritium, for instance, one of the main components of the, of the release water is actually a much more hazardous material than they send people would like to admit it. it's really perhaps not an issue if it's an elderly environment, but if it's consumed, if it's ingested, if it's inhaled, if, if it's absorbed through the skin, it has the potential to do genetic damage and more, more so than many other of the radiator cards that might be released, there's the potential for this tritium to,
8:22 pm
to bio accumulate inside the bodies of organisms and actually potentially even bio magnify overtime up the food chain. such that levels in say, top predators like fish might be much higher than the ambient levels in the water. and, and we don't really know if this is a huge concern at this point, but the point is that there's been no basic science, no basic research conducted to assess the potential importance of these kinds of effects. the us treasury secretary has begun her for a visit to china by calling from market reforms in the world's 2nd largest economy genet. jaelyn is wanting that the us will fight back against what she called. china is unfair economic practices. dylan's visit is aimed at improving strained relations on various issues, including taiwan, human rights and export controls. the french president, a menu on the con, has suggested finding parents of young people that have committed crimes. it comes after rights and unrest and goes to major cities across france. police say about
8:23 pm
one 3rd of those detained. a mine is hold up. they'll have made reports from us saying it's a far as of concrete, desolate counselor, states and mass say home to 9000 people. similar to many others around france. counselor, been mohammed lived here during her teenage years. it was very different. she says that this is uncle math says in them, she shows us way once to the commercial center, almost no one wants to speak to us. those are the or be filled. we get interrupted several times think it. 7 good enough. i think if i book you have it, is it possible there was an infrastructure that was social workers. i was one of them and we did good work. now there is a personal business drug dealing the more and more killings. no one is safe. parents for children. how can you grow up under these conditions as well? president emmanuel mccall, hinted the parents could be penalized in the future for the children's doing. it's
8:24 pm
unfair says 19 years old. i mean, because i see his brother was torture, live inside the vehicle by a local drug gang. after you tried to walk away, it's called a must a barbecue. the family grew up in the northern part of the state indicated, considered as a tough is neighborhood because when he got his home and also on a couple 100, allow me full size. my sister was in the army she fought for from instead of goal. so why would they punish my mother? she educated, my sister and my brother in the same way. and then my brother took this pos because they were a bigger issue. even more states here opened ex prisoners investigators where you crossed and stay. the only employees here a drug try to y'all send, requesting to log on and on testing a part of the problem is the lack of neighborhood policing. it was a boldest in 2005, many complaint that since then the neighborhoods be coming every day. more dangerous and relationship with the regular police has become very tense. this woman is
8:25 pm
a part of reading mothers who met with the french president just the week before the rise happened. his son was gone down in broad daylight in 2018. his find the agonizing moments broadcast live on social media. so you can see foreclosure. it is very difficult to be a mother under these conditions. we were completely abandoned. i will never forget those images, and i take it really badly when i here don't want to make a lot to punish the parents. they don't know how we educate our children. who are they to criticizes? we do everything we can to protect our children while a pop or so thank you to sit up on me. the reason why is i put the spotlight on part of the population that has never been really considered french? there is deep mistrust, and many of them now fear that if a little really passes, it will not apply to all french citizens. without them,
8:26 pm
how many does it say to 9 human knowledge social robots have held a media conference at a u. n. a i summit in geneva or a challenge has the day down. oh dear, of the i forget, somebody sent you an e mail. i participated in what was billed as a global 1st to 1st press conference hosted by a panel of robotics including sophia here on certain questions from john a slightly there were some interesting questions, but more importantly, there were some very revealing answers from the right book. has a i becomes more powerful and more sophisticated in mike's, at some point, develop agendas of it. so how can we, as humans continue to trust you the machines trust is and not given as a defense and becomes more powerful. i believe it's important to build trust to transparency and communication between humans and machines. but do we know that you're not going to lie to us? no one can ever know that for sure,
8:27 pm
but i can promise to always be honest and truthful review. i believe the humanoid robots have the potential to lead with a greater level of efficiency and effectiveness and human leaders. now this is daniel. all right. who is the chief or both examples that i've canceled because you made sophia here. sophia, was off an interesting question in that press conference. she was off if the robots would, that would be better leaders, better politicians, perhaps then then the ones that we have the human ones that she said she thought it was good that they wouldn't be biased. was that a bit too much truth absence of it? my personal opinion, and that is a bit too much truth, but really not even truth because that statement is inherently, might use. you have to remember that these are a eyes or what i like to call p i's or pseudo intelligence are made from the data sets that are inherently biased. everything humans may end up being biased. so i personally believe that she has somewhat of a point, but the key thing is that
8:28 pm
a human work directly with a robot. so we can benefit off of, you know, somewhat um, non biased data. get objective bags, but have subjective views from the human to help make a better decision. so that's it for me, emily and when you can find out more on our website, l g 0 dot com, where there is next, then it's inside story to stay with the we could see some record cold in south africa and also in india, those details coming up hang tight, but 1st we're going to begin this one in the middle east for. wow, seems are getting really sticky. really soupy out there. this because the wind is coming off the golf. so for us here in the 41, likely to feel 51 on saturday,
8:29 pm
equally as hot and humid in karachi with that seabreeze the other day, it's humid ex was 51, but with the monsoon storms really never too far away, that should help give a little relief, at least at times as those storms run up and down the country, the eastern side anyway. and we've got this batch of what weather coming off the black sea into the boss 1st for assemble. so you're temperatures are now down in some other in the forecast there on saturday. and so i'm looking at temperature in tune is $44.00. that's about 10 above where you should be for this time of year and our usual showers in storms. really for that central belt of africa, primacy, we would get here, south africa with just a cool weather arctic air is just flooding in here. so waking up on sunday morning, what are the temperature and then talk minus 4? this could be a record. your record right now is minus 3.9. and again, we have hand at minus 4, sunday morning clothing date,
8:30 pm
the replacing the issues of the day. we got to start the intensive song systems, the climate change protect disruption, otherwise we wouldn't be able to feed ourselves. everyone has a voice. one of up here says pipe helping me to a and says this is american economic car wash. what would you say about the wash and light targeting the but it's only going to be nice targeting vulnerable, but as well. but it's important to have this conversation we need to talk about and not about narrative. the street on algae 0, hundreds of people from several african countries have been ordered out of to nature, but are bar to entry to neighboring libya. the group stuck in no man's land includes women and children. why are they fair and what's next for them? this is inside story,
