they are going through so that i can convey the headlines in the most human way possible. just here to we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. the, [000:00:00;00] the hello on tell mccrae this has been use our line from doha coming up in the next 16 minutes homes reduced to ashes. thousands of people killed the one island of maui, grapples with the devastation caused by wild fires. ukraine's president and automated zalinski finds all his military enlistment officers and a crackdown on corruption. the 1st delivery of food item arrives in west style for the conflict and so 10 inches,
6:01 pm
it's 4th month and presented removes asylum seekers from the controversial processing center. the bacteria is found in the water system and i'm fine. how much would the sports feed in march on? and the women's woke up and their typical and spain in the semi finals they needed extra time to get past and other news blog funds on the hawaiian islands of mount. we have killed 55 people with officials bearing the numbers could rise. hundreds of buildings have been reduced to rubble and a historical town to complete the tunes to ash. the fires began on tuesday night and us still building. they were fueled by dr. agitation and fanned by winds from hurricane door of state officials have cooled it. the largest natural disaster in hawaii is history. survivors and residents on the island side,
6:02 pm
they have lost everything. this is going to go on for a while. this is gonna take years, years to recover and it just breaks my heart. that's all the history from back in the waiting days. the 1800 us ashton does. this is our 1st time coming back and like actually knowing that our house for now we haven't really known anything for the last couple of days cuz there's no information coming through. we have, since we have no power, no cell service, no. why fi we're getting fits from car radio, but nobody really knows until they can make it in here, whether their houses are standing or not. i know the question on your mind is when can i get back to my home? just as soon as we can try to provide a certainty that we have recovered those that have products. and that's really our, our goal right now. we're hoping to find people that might just be injured
6:03 pm
a lot of time as fast as the incident, so we're still in that phase with us president joe biden has released federal aid to support hawaii recovery if it's we have just approved a major disaster declaration of for why, which will get a into the hands of the people desperately, desperately need help. now, they've lost anyone who's lost a loved one, whose home has been damaged or destroyed is going to get help immediately. and i've directed that research support to these pray, firefighters and 1st responders, emergency personnel working round the clock. they're risking their lives check their can. is the director of the online use website. now we now don't come. he says the community on now we really came together during this unprecedented situation and there's people still stranded on these. they haven't concluded the search for,
6:04 pm
for bodies or of course thoughtful survivors. there's multiple different organizations and government agencies involved. so i don't, i don't feel the sense that i'm from the community that there's not helps, but certainly it's, it's not enough at the same time, but the communities risen up to no surprise we're, we're a small island community in the middle. this pacific millions of visitors come here, but it's, it's a small island population. and um, from boats traveling around the outside of the island, it's been attracted and just close off by, by access, by roads and boats. you have local fishermen taking provisions and helping bring people back and i just don't, the list goes on it's, it's it's, it's quite a bright enough for it right now, but it's far from close to being over. sadly, and, and never mind all the rebuilding suspended, you know, as you would imagine, just
6:05 pm
a constant stream of information and bits and pieces throughout the last couple of days. and today i heard a lot of, you know, just the need for food, the need for food and gas for generators, the powers of the waters out. and people again can't, can access, has limited access. so. and then of course, um, you know, the, the stages for there's, there's been a huge effort to help all the visitors. i think it was in the last 2 days over 25000 tourist visitors helped to get off of the island. so, you know, this was one of the issues, initial stages, the new kinds president reload, america landscape says he's firing all regional military enlistment officers up to a nationwide inspection authority. so i think 112 criminal cases, including bribery and a legal border crossings with those who want to keep that the army rank sullens case is,
6:06 pm
should go and find the russian troops on the front lines. is the name of c homelessness, wayne gloomy way? dismissing old regional military comments on the system should be run by people who know exactly what more is and why cynicism and bribery at a time of war is high treason instead. so just being through the front line or who can't be in the trenches because they've lost their health, lost their lives, but have retained their dignity and have no cynicism. they can be entrusted with this recruitment system system as well. just areas correspondents to boston isn't the ne, ukrainian city of hockey's and stuff they said serious charges, but it's also a serious response from zalinski. isn't that yes, exactly. we, i've actually been investigating this a case in the last couple of weeks and we found out that to landscape definitely has a huge problem here. we spoke to a special investigator and he told us about
6:07 pm
a real system in the whole line of this military recruitment agencies, including medical doctor, us, dreyfus, people all involved in these schemes. and basically what happens is, of course, your brain needs a lot of sole just now a lot of people are dying on the front line to counter offensive. it's not going as planned. but what happens is a lot of my don't want to fly to the bribing diesel officials. and they say, according to this, investigate up to $3000.00 to get a ticket, the white tickets. so to say, which is sort of a medical certificate showing that they're unfit to fide. we also spoke to one of the people who don't want to go to the front line and he said, it's not only about bribery, but there's also a lot of other things wrong with these recruitment officials that using for us for using all kinds of verbal abuse. so there's a whole system and polanski is not only battling this on the front line against russia, but also internally battling this corruption a nation wide. instead,
6:08 pm
what more do we know about these lights? is missile strikes on you tried well, this morning. uh, there were 4 uh things are missiles uh towards the rest of air food and the rest of the country run is intercepted above teeth. uh, we know that some debris as full in on a children's hospital and the price of the house there. but also near this field, the residential areas have an 8 year old boy. i got into the new died laser in hospital also we saw a large strike and several of these last nights where hotel, where a lot of un are you going to tell you and work is often state has been hit. there was also a children's crime going on in that hotel, but that was just finished run. this strike happened and the u. n. a coordinator here in tears has really come down this attack. she called it in the calling effect
6:09 pm
. and she really calls on russia to stop this in this criminal attack. so she pulled them against ukraine. ok, thank you so much. that is still with us. and for us in keith and i told him in the poland says it is ending 10000 troops to his board with bella roost tensions between ball. so and then school, which is russia's l. i have been rising recently. poland says 2 panel russian helicopters briefly, incidents a spice last week. the government is also concerned about the border area since hundreds of wagner mis and res arrived, and fellers this part of a deal that ended amusing in russia in june. and i, some of in chef i, its joins us now from palding's. buddha with fellows, and the focus continues to be on all susceptible border areas. and that includes the build up of troops, ways you of the clothes. this is being that's the thing up for the last few days ever since poland to knows that it is going to be sending
6:10 pm
not just 2000 but 10000 foods to supplement the gold a god on its border. a fence board of it better is already has a for defense motion for iris because as you mentioned it not only just fee is legally migration, but it also is afraid that there might be some $1.00 there mercenaries who might try and we can it is also to make sure that those a legit border incursions which bagels denies pulling says happen to not happen again. and is there is a, an appropriate response from the side as well. so as we are hearing from the polish government about how it is building up, we've heard from the benediction side for the 1st time today, the president, alexander, like shrink, go telling his prime minister to establish contact with the polls, saying that they're ready for talks and negotiations to diffuse tensions only if the phones are ready to do so themselves. so it is interesting that all of this is
6:11 pm
happening as the border between ukraine and russia becomes a grinding place for both armies. no view events taking at it, movement taking place there. this seems to be the board of a, uh, pull and says that it is a fighting for nato's war and making sure that nato as border is protected against russia, and it's outlined and how it locals, where you are reacting to what's happening in the neighborhood to be speaking to people who have been crossing through villages all along this border, a 187 feet long for the people on this good there's. they've seen this as a repeat of what happened a year and a half ago when the war started between of ukraine and vector, and businesses are also hurting as well. we spoke to a hotel owner who told us that people have canceled their holidays. people who come to this picture, rest part or phone and are no longer coming because they think that things could escalate for the,
6:12 pm
according to i'm less be spoken to. this might be another war of words between these 2 neighbors. as it is election season in poland, but people here on the border region really already feeling the impact. okay, thank you so much for that. that. so some of the binge of 8 on pullman's bullet, poland boda with fellers were us present to abide in his us congress for a multi $1000000000.00 aid package to support your crimes will if it's the request comes at a difficult time with the recent polls showing the majority of the american public are again sending more eyes and would rather the money be spent on problems at home . abide and has made his support for you find a signature off his foreign policy agenda. and analysts say that american women's have been critical to your crime success in resisting russian forces. but let's take a closer look at these numbers. so if bob biden has asked congress but $21000000000.00
6:13 pm
to support your crime until the end of this year. but since the ball began, the united states sustained more than $75000000000.00 in assistance. the aide is spent on humanitarian financial and military support. but not sure if the aid has gone towards providing weapon, systems, training, and intelligence. for more on this, i'd packets. it's go to my kinda in washington dc. and mike, what's the reaction thing like to biden's proposal as well back in december, which was the last time the last congress for money for ukraine had went through with no problem at all on a bipartisan basis. but biden's going to face much freight to a position on this particular occasion already. they'll republicans in the house saying that they can not offer any more funds to ukraine. that there's a sense of too much being spent already. the house because kevin mccarthy also saying that this goes beyond the agreement that was reached earlier this year in
6:14 pm
order to fund the government of that particular time and avoid government closure. so it's going to be a major issue for biden and compounding the issue is that this $13000000000.00 a month full ukraine is part of a 5, broad, a supplemental package of some $40000000000.00, which includes money for disaster relief following the recent droughts in the country for the security. so there's a lot of elements within this package that republicans may, will oppose. and certainly, the democrats within the house are going to need to get a bi partisan cool to be able to get this legislation through when congress returns in mid september. well, given all of that, how likely is it that it will go through as well, on the senate side, the senate lead to that? absolutely. confident that this broad support within the senate full funds for ukraine. however, once again,
6:15 pm
you've got the issue of the other parts of the supplemental bull disaster relief, for example, border security, for example, that was put in perhaps to get more republican support for the bill as a whole. but the house is a real sticking point. there's also another element here of politics that intervenes donald trump's involvement, and all of this, many members of the house tend to follow what trump says. trump is completely opposed to the will in ukraine and completely opposed to mol, funding going to ukraine. so they are republicans who are standing on elections next year, who want to follow what donald trump says. so there are many complicating factors in all of this divided administration remains confident. it will get the votes of needs in the house and it will get the votes of needs and the senate. but we're only going to know that comes of the middle of september. okay, thank you so much. that is montana for us at the white house to this place. the more ahead on this news out,
6:16 pm
including hundreds of migrants and refugees make the dangerous journey to the islands of one producer, but actually is struggling to cope with a number of arrivals. where you look at the extent of the damage caused by days of to ritual brian and bundle dish and triple winning menches to associate, prepared to kick off the new premier league season. sonic has the largest in sports . the west african military chiefs will meet next week and gone to to discuss the qu, initiated the regional block. a co ross has place trips on standby, but stresses the diplomacy is the preferred way to reinstate the civilian government. the african union has extended support, a co was address, has moved from a boucher the neighboring nigeria for original loc fighting for relevance. it's a moment of decision for

6:19 pm
running out of our souls involved in mediation efforts to in the crisis says is just cletus when concessions to begin talks diploma. seating grounds to the june to go to the we can the organization, i mean cottage partition, the cool part is in the region. how many degrees i would use either probably 5 american citizens have been news from and their writing and prism to house. the wrist is part of a deal between washington into around it's pub in agreements that involves the release of a rainy into time a's in the us as well as a rainy and assets with billions of dollars which are frozen in south korea. i will 5 you in staff who were kidnapped and held hostage and jim and 18 months have been released. hell, kind of the times, the grouping of young province, the you in says the 5 with safely safety and security officers among them was a banquet issue. citizen who has returned hon and met the prime minister. the union
6:20 pm
has thanks to the governments of human and others for negotiating to release. the person is removing thousands of asylum seekers from the controversial processing center of to bacteria was discovered in the water system. immigration official site samples showed to legionella bacteria which can cause a severe long disease. the barge is more than southern england and only opened on monday. the government plans to house 500 people the and what it calls the cost saving measure will pull, race is outside the u. k. government's home office in london and pull the state decided this aspect of the u. k. government's immigration policy hasn't exactly been a success so far. of the yes, told him very embarrassing for the u. k. government was still for the 39 asylum seekers has been moved away from that previous accommodation. moved onto this board, which seems to be very unsuccessful. accommodation now been moved off. it's again
6:21 pm
it's been exposed to potentially faithful bacteria, legionella bacteria that kind of leads to legionnaires disease. the home office says they've been moved off as a portion and that none of them have presented with any symptoms as yet. now this pods, the babies don't home is part of the government's to follow that strategy to deal with emigration. one, paul, today is to try and get some $50000.00 to solve them, so you cause out of hotels, which the government says is costing breton around $8000000.00 a day. the other problem of that strategy is to, to more migrants from coming to the u. k, mainly in small bites across the channel allows i will already lots of delays with this, with his barge projects getting on the way that we're 5 safety concerns. if the fi sightsee a union said it was a potential death trap and have now set today. so that it,
6:22 pm
this legionella bacteria being found in the water system. that means it's only a matter of time before someone comes to home. there has been concerns about over crowding. technical capacity of just over 200 and with bunk beds. and that's now around $500.00 and now they, sol leads to the evidence. busy those companies who say that this is a totally unsuitable, i'm in fact in humane way of housing. asylum seekers. 20 of them in fact. so i refused to get on board for 4 days ago. and one imagines that more will refuse to get back on board. will be housed here in the future, but can well what happens now? because as we, as you mentioned, says me to house 500 people. what is the long term plan for them? and for the barge of the well, the immigration minister, robert general because apparently and talks about how to handle lay some kind of pain groups of cold for him to go after he. he said just 2 days ago that the baby stock involved was
6:23 pm
a perfectly decent accommodation. i would not show just now whether the as long as it's searching on asylum seekers will be moved home office is apparently at dealing with that. but a big question remains over the timing of this because the, the tests full legionella bacteria where apparently the under the how you can on july, the 25th. they didn't get the results until august the 7th, which is when the asylum seekers will move into the box. so 11 does why the government didn't wait to find the results before moving any one. and i'm seeing is that 4 days ago, the question remains about how long the government has known about this before moving out. people who are at risk of this bacteria, you do have questions for them to go on. so thank you so much. that is full grace in london will tell you and prosecute. as i've heard harrowing accounts from full migrants who survived the shipwreck and the mediterranean,
6:24 pm
they set off from tennessee of last week for he won people on board the boat with them. i fear it did hold of delta made reports from the a tell you an island, so flood producer. it's a busy morning at the port. now with better weather conditions, hundreds, if not, thousands of migrants are trying to look across. they may need to radians. mothers hoping to give a better life to their children, young man wanting to build the future. this group of friends started the journey in synagogue jekyll and me now says the island go to the survival. just a few days ago, he witnessed the boat landing on the beach front of the b, and that'd be the, i don't know how they do it so many die. it's terrible. a few years ago we caught a body in our net, and often we find bones. yesterday a boat arrived on the beach. there was a mother with her child among them, but we gave them some food and water. i feel so sorry. it's ugly to witness. most of the bows get rescued or arrive on
6:25 pm
a to to sure. they are also many the cap size. margaret is do take your gamble when they set off in these overcrowded rickety both. i'm fit to say such a long journey. and often they found themselves in distress in the middle of the sea was no land insight. the missiles leaving denisia are made of iron, hastily sold it together. the engines too small to power them. and by and large, the only safety device the migrants can rely on in their troops. humanitarian risk groups see, watch carries out surveillance, flights in the central media to ring in the intersections in, in this area where we are getting more and more in, in the last 2 years, i would say that people who are now taking this route, which is even. busy dangerous, if it, if you look into just the distance and, and the size of the mediterranean sea here,
6:26 pm
this is also resided by european policies and, and the, the, that it happens. and the who opinion wants to put up people of this is the moment they ask immersion vessel to rescue for people, including 3 miners who are drifting in an open stop vessel with no engine. they survived for 4 days. they said they were involved in a shipwreck. 41, others remain on accounted for. perhaps the bodies would wash off on the coast of lumpy dues, like those were laid to rest here, nestled among the residents. but the cemetery is at full capacity. and the latest victims of these desperate journeys still await a place to find that the rest of how many jersey lumpy do that. let's go to hold it in length too. so we have many migraines. so continuing to arrive and to, as you mentioned in your story, there is always become a hotspot for these migrants. what,
6:27 pm
what is the country doing to deal with the scrolling problem? what i think is really has tried everything is can to deal with this problem. and the positive had struck a deal with libya, it has trained and they've been postcards to try to stop that flow of people leaving it shows. and then that move to tunisia where it became easier for my friends to find smugglers to get on the bows. now it really is also trying to come to a deal with to need it has already signed a memorandum of understanding between the 2 countries. wait, we'll give the training. it will also give financial support not only to control what have what happens on the coastline, but also just send back and repack trade, sub saharan, back to their homes. it's trying, but anyone you speak to from the and you say that these are just temporary
6:28 pm
solutions and they will always be away and they will always be new roots for these people to come to you are because many of them see it as the only way out to have a better life to have a future. and many of them have also been been through so much just from their home country to reach the southern mediterranean. that for them there is no way they will go back. they have to continue that last stretch across the sea, no matter how dangerous it is. and i was in libya a few years ago and i did all some of these. mike was, do you, have you ever seen to see what did you do? you know how to swim, and you know, the people died. what was the answer was yes, they knew that people loved their lives, but they say the many more do arrive to europe. and they say that even if they don't know what to do, if there's a problem, this is 0 only way out of what they call that miserable life. so it's a very complicated solution, a problem. and at the moment,
6:29 pm
europe is trying to find some sort of insurance, but it's not working. okay, thank you so much for that. that is what i have done so many didn't let produce a for us. thank you. well, still a hit on al jazeera pump celebrates 15 years. we look at the impact of the music showing her own global culture and escape . it will number one in toronto sound a has a reaction from the canadian or to the the hello there. it's still a story of unusual wind to heat to cause parts of south america, but there is a change on the costs. you can see this area of that cloud that shows a rush of storms affecting southern areas of brazil. now beneath that we are seeing

a threat to thank you very much for this invitation. i will be very set and c o is a very well known whistleblower here in our country over the past i would say 15 years or so, particularly during the career ministrations and he was the main journalist, but i got together in the case that i ended up condemning, in a sense you provided for that. but other than that, he's as of late, he's been denouncing links between certain politicians and the organized crime mafia is present in the country. and so he had received us. your reporting already said he had received several threats, and so he was a, i believe, a target, particularly for these organized crime mafias. does this just go to prove that? does that organized crime groups a, running the country? well, there's a lot of videos from,
6:41 pm
from bystanders. on wednesday and what you can see is that there was a very, since the security apparatus around him like there was no uh, armor car for his transport. there was no a 3rd body guard or personnel from the police on the other, on the left side of the car and into the there's a lot of suspicions about the role of that. the security, the official security force has played in this because it, there seems to be very suspicious negligence on their part. and this is not the 1st case where there are suspicions of cooperation or collaboration from the, from inside the police. and this is part of the problems in the countries with weak institutions going up against these very powerful international organized crime organizations. here's what were you surprised when you hear that the election was still going to go ahead and,
6:42 pm
and how confident are you that it is going to be free and fair? i'm not sure i was, i mean i'm not surprised because there are in our laws in our electronic loss. there are specific reasons to cancel or to postpone elections and this is not one of them. and so it would be outside of our, of our current existing constitution in laws to interrupt the electro process, whether it would be a free election. well, uh, i mean i, i don't think there's been an intervention with the, with the process more, or i'm more than intimidating journalist. i think this has to do not so much with the election, but we've uh, the activity that journalists do in our country, journalists are the ones who put together cases and they bring these controversial corruption cases. and also cases that have to do with the, with the,
6:43 pm
the international organized crime. and so i think they were trying to send a message to other journalists around it to be inclined to do some more than intervene with the results of the elections. because biotic sensor was not one of the main contenders. in the most recent polls, there were at least 3 or 4 other candidates that were above him in his numbers. so i think this has to do with just sort of chilling the process. okay, thank you. so much for your time and you inside that is gabrielle, a counselor on the research associates at the cato institute. thank you. thank you . was fund was receipt and bundle dish. the extent of the damage is emerging. widespread flooding and land slides killed thousands of people and this lift tens of thousands homeless, including and coaxes bizarre wherever. a hang of refugees live tended challenges and travel to one of the was tit areas. wrong commodity in se, bundle dish. and filed this report. after days of heavy rain land slides
