2:04 am
the 400 and 44th regrade belongs to the other branch of the ministry of defense. other a more they are definitely one of the most prominent and powerful groups here in tripoli. and they, they are more organized than, than other groups. uh, you know, for people, people tell you that they are more organized, they're more, they're more official then. then the other groups, but what we're hearing from government sources now is that they are trying to get to get these people to come to an agreement. the specialty turn for us in the 400 and 44th for bait to release my whole times as soon as possible and to de escalate the situation. but as of, as of now, we have not yet seen any comments or statements from the minister of defense or the prime minister, or any senior living officials. but the hope is that things can deescalate and the situation can calm down and people can be able to, to, to, to go on a,
2:05 am
go on tomorrow peacefully. all right, malik, turn that, we appreciate you joining us from tripling, updating us on the very latest there. thank you. west african regional block echo us has condemned the decision of new shares, military rulers, to prosecute the post president for treason. they're calling it, get another prob occasion. but haven't bassoon was our students attained after the military seized power last month. the united nations is called the developments worrying about adriece reports from could see that in neighboring nigeria. things are getting more complicated for the just the post president, one of my buses. 3 weeks after the cool is for my gods, one to charge him with treason. after 2nd here, or lose everybody, julia, i really assist you the government of needs. you have to date, gather the necessary evidence to prosecute before the competence national and international authorities, the ousted president,
2:06 am
and his local and for an accomplices, for high treason and undermining the internal and external security of nisha. following his exchanges with the national was a foreign heads of state and heads of international organizations as long as you political community to say, while the charges against best weight, they could also be a power struggle play out that dentist, you know, because silenced by you as a president and then possibly, and this one, like, because once he's convicted it means he's spend that is that he's going to spend that is all his life in prison. and he'll know, bedroom, that'd be the one who's getting these yet. the problem is that chances are they have for an civil war wrapped in the jack the charges come always up, trying to take on the military base and the to the region. most of the kept doing. yeah. me that killed 7 soldiers. it's a fault such a tax as a manager to power. most of the courtney decide the lack of security is one of the main reasons they over through the democratically elected president. but with these
2:07 am
attacks on the rise, people are beginning to question the motives of the cool. on sunday senior really just figures from nigeria. let me just cletus, who stated a willingness to negotiate with the region of book echoes in neighboring julia concerns. i'm mounting about events in this year as refugees begin to cross its border, shedding and this condition tension is building across the border. why many people name is your concern about possibly monitoring convention, many new ideas i wanted about the optimize. local c, s a centers of costs, board of trade and relationships would be in jeopardy. as long as me just military remain defiant. we have started receiving an influx of people from the jo. but in the pocket, some of them have start to secure for which here, and it's not only nigeria that's working with consent. politicians and i noticed on the continent i worried about disputed which these course happening,
2:08 am
especially in west africa. i did research, i just need a couple not nigeria. at least 26 nigerian soldiers have been killed in an ambush and an evacuation mission that followed. an air force helicopter crash near a village in new jersey or delta state. it was on his way to rescue soldiers who were wounded during a military operation against gunman. 4 soldiers were killed in that attack. well, the death toll in hawaii is devastating wildfire as has reached 96 with the governor saying that number is going to rise. many or waiting for news and whether their family and friends are safe. officials say that efforts to find and identify the dead are still in the very early stages she advertise. he has the latest from alley that i think was very striking. was good for the last several days. we've been outside that exclusions and so obviously the focus of exercising is behind when we've all seen the pictures of a devastated, destroyed town. well,
2:09 am
we haven't really realized before. there is the so much l surrounding it, which is also in the exclusions and that really helped us understand why when we were outside big solutions. and over the last several days, people would come up to us and say that i'm not letting us that we have to get back in because so many people, thousands of people by the looks of it are still there. so you have the policy and the future, we have a lot of questions about the pos, meaning why didn't they know, why didn't they full see that this could be a possibility, given all the warnings they've had since 2014 wide of the emergency side or the sounds when it was clear, it was an incredibly windy day, and fires were already planning. but now we're also looking to the future. i think something that is often forgotten as hawaii is effective in american calling the i know it became the state in 1959, but it's still that, that sort of suspicion and resentment among the big sections of the native wine population here about the motives of the federal government in any way, yes,
2:10 am
the 21st century link lead capitalism does off the capitalism. the way that the laser run the results and you have the money, have a, have a lack of making a crisis into an opportunity which might mean that many of them will end up losing out. and that's what we had in that report from various people, is that real suspicion and fear, and actually one of the reasons why certainly people have remains on the western part of the island. how the left is that real fear about what's going to, what's going to happen next? you know, when you have to remember the reason hawaii is a us state is because a bunch of white sugar plantation owners called the ministry and to overthrow the queen at the end of the 19th century. it's a very recent to learn to history that there's rooms in the numerous about the relationship between hawaii and the us. yeah, that comes out of the times. like with ronnie and officials of blamed armed group, i saw for sunday's attack on a problem that she has tried in the city of shrugs, at least 2 people have been killed as
2:11 am
a rule for nationals has also been arrested or so. jerry reports from tehran. john ham live at me, shout. this was the moment a lone gunman stormed into the shelter of shrine insurance and open fire. witnesses said it happened quickly. i saw people were running towards the exit who were injured. i didn't know what had happened. i saw everyone around me had run away. the gunman was arrested on the scene and has been identified as a citizen upside you cust. on the head of her onto the shirt, he says another 8 men have been arrested in connection with sundays attack. all of them are for national so you can sounds foreign minister says it has yet to receive the documentation about the suspect from a radiant officials to verify his identity. iran until jake has done have had good relations since the former soviet republic declared independence in 1991 and to her
2:12 am
on its 2nd. because for an investor after china, iran is foreign ministry spokesman provided one possible motive for the attack with us the fund about he. unfortunately, some will always have been using these terrorist groups as a means of gaining influence to have a presence in the region. and to make political and security changes. yeah, i smart sentiments shared by the spokesperson of the revolutionary guard who accuse us for in spite agencies of being involved and what the government is calling a terrorist attack with a goal of creating division between iran and its neighboring countries. this is not the 1st times chaucer of shrine has been attacked last october, 3 gunman storms its grounds, killing 13 people. this 12 century shrine is the 3rd most important in the country . now officials, we look into increases security and find out more about the 9 men the accused of carrying out this attack door. so jabari al jazeera tyrone will turn to the
2:13 am
united states. a court has delivered a landmark judgement in favor of young climate activists. 16 people have taken the state of montana to court over allegations that violated their cost additional rights to a clean and healthy environment by promoting fossil fuels. the activists are between the ages of $5.22 and the ruling could be precedent setting for other climate related lawsuits. montana is a major producer of coal, oil, and gas, which are critical to the states economy. well, for more on this, we are joined by michael gerard, founder and faculty director for the sabine center for climate change law at columbia law school. and he joins us from new york. well, 1st of all, talk to a little bit of just how groundbreaking this ruling is and, and what kind of precedence it could set for future cases. well,
2:14 am
it's just about the 1st decision in the world where climate science was on trial for climate scientists were on the stand subject to cross examination, testifying under oath. and the court agreed with the climate scientists that the fossil fuel combustion is the principal cause of the greenhouse gases. that greenhouse gas emissions are cause a very negative effects already on health and the environment. and it's only going to get worse unless we move away from fossil fuels. but is there a bit of a hitch here in that it's up to the montana legislation, determine just exactly how to bring the state policies into compliance meeting. but in this could mean that if you have a, for example, a conservative legislature, as montana does that, it could mean that there could be some problems in bringing some of this into compliance. right. all of the court decision requires montana to do is to consider climate change in making its energy policy. so it doesn't require them to actually
2:15 am
change those policies. but i think the greater significance of the ruler is that it's held that the environmental rights prevention of the state constitution had reinforced. there are about a $150.00 countries in the world. but have environmental rights provisions and their constitutions. and this decision is going to be cited in many cases going forward. how do you think that this was something that was compelling enough to really weigh in terms of the case? what was it that was really pivotal? the kind of floyers put on the stand all these young people who told very persuasive stories about how the personally were effected by climate change. they took a global problem and put individual cases on it. and i think that really had an impact on the court. do you see this being though a problem, given the fact that this is at the state level? if this were to be elevated, to say a court that is less friendly,
2:16 am
that this is something that could be struck down? well, this case will go up to the montana supreme court justice only on state issues. a can't go to the supreme court of many and many other countries. we've seen that the higher courts have been rather sympathetic to the climate case as the us supreme court. these days, not so much. all right, so you're optimistic that this could really have an impact. all right, we're going to leave it there. thank you so much for joining us here on algae 0, michael gerard. thank you. thank you. the right time for a short break, but still ahead on algae 0. 1 to report from the pull in belarus border where an increasing number of my grandson refugees are in need of help. stay with us the
2:17 am
the brought to you by visit capital. and here's how the weather story goes for the america. it's great to have y'all long, a big drop in those temperatures for santiago on to stay just 20 degrees and those temperatures will continue to fall. it has been hot and dry for eastern bolivia, wendy, as well. so let me show you the picture on the ground. there are a number of wildfires have a rough to hear a cruise we're dealing with about 80 to 90 of them just because of how parts this area has been. now if we go around central america, you know, for about the last month or so now. so the capital of the bahamas is been hovering around 3435 degrees, but showers and storms in the forecasts here on tuesday. so watch what happens on wednesday. bit of relief here is your temperature is now down to 30 degrees. we have been dealing with extreme heat, high heat through, from texas
2:18 am
a really toward that southeast corner of the us, some showers in storms in the forecast here on tuesday. but quite helping of rain for new england. sun spots here could see half a month's worth of rain over the span of 24 hours. meantime, is also about the heat for the pacific northwest. portland, coming in at $38.00 degrees, that heat is there to stick around for the next little bit. and not a bad day, and l. a. suns out 33 west. go to you by visit cuts on the the, the but the,
2:19 am
[000:00:00;00] the, you're watching out to 0. a reminder of our top stories at this hour. there's been clashes in and around libya's capital. tripoli, after the detention of a powerful commander, his source of control, much of the city arrival forest captured my fluid hums. this app rather captured him of the music. god international, airport, and tripoli, according to those loyal to him as a west african regional block echo last has condemned the decision of new shares, military rulers,
2:20 am
to prosecute the post precedent for treason there. calling it get another complication. and the death toll in hawaii is devastating wildfires with reach 96 with the governor saying that number is going to rise. fish will say the effort to find as identify the dead. still in the early stages. a well increasing number of migrants and refugees are in need of help on the polar feller as border even with a border wall equipped with motion sensors and cameras. more people have attempted to cross this year, worst like uses minsk of in court, cringing illegal border crossings to the stabilize the country. a solid. bon jovi caught off with aid workers helping people in need on the polish side of the border . cold, hungry, often injured conditions of person for refugees on the poland, but it was supposed to a book as inactive as called, dispense holden's 1st line of torture. seen a huge increase in people with serious medical conditions says they will spend
2:21 am
built when youth from the beginning that this will will not suffer migration and doesn't stop anyone from, from crossing the border. and there are many people who loves their lives in this forest. and people who are lost about the compared to, for example, met the 3 and see if it's still relatively safe. the police government says defense is important to stop what it considers. indeed, because migration gets to feeling thousands of additional troops on the border. but so far this, the, at $19000.00 people have attempted to cross that's higher than the total number last year and was only active a school started bringing help to people in need. and we need to many people from many places. people who to sleep countries were difficult. it's difficult economic situation or countries or it's very much related to a difficult situation in the country of origin of people. and i'm of for good for you. as, as you said, last 2 months we see many people from saddam, it's not
2:22 am
a legal to help people. but activists face charges such as helping smugglers when they try to provide a to refugees. and one time when border guards found me and my friend and before as the kicked her really heart new needs people and the forest hor extremely terrified, exhausted. uh, quite often sick. um who needs uh so didn't eat or or drink water for many, many days. you give them these very basic stuff and then you have to leave them in the forest quite the 9th, when we go to the place. yeah, there's no, there's nothing we had. so it would have been enough because the person has been that's already he's been dead for a new civil or hours and well, during the swans, the southern was the worst experience stuff. okay. what's your government's do? what is the perfect solution?
2:23 am
i don't think the answer is to decrease migration. i think we have to start printing of, of this world of civil from part of the search and people have the right to and other people don't. so why do pose people migrate to u. k or united states everyone deserves living in a safe place. everyone deserves opportunities or for education. everyone deserves to sort of a home and to have their human rights respected. and until that happens, people will likely continue to risk lives to find safety and a better future. it's only been driving down to 0. we have a vague product to united states where the military, there is facing a recruitment crisis over the past year. it is only been able to recruit about $45000.00 soldiers that is way below the minimum annual target of $60000.00. now, recent poll shows confidence in the military's at is lowest point in a quarter of a century. i kind of report from washington, a cus,
2:24 am
toys prided itself as having the world's most formidable military machine, a standing force of nearly half a 1000000, many stations on bases and fall from parts of the globe. do solemnly swear or affirm these only square. so what now recruitment is that its lowest level, so to drive the supply dish to 50 years ago. and the hardest hit is beyond me. if we don't turn our recruiting situation around, i can't guarantee you that the army won't have to make some more substantial potential for structural reductions. because we, we've got to make sure that our units, for example, that are on the immediate response spores are mand adequately. so that they're ready to go. the secretary herself appears and commercials aimed at increasing recruitment, but they appear to have little impact in the market that's being present it by increasing political divide and bi partisan and get that threatens to politicize the military itself. many republicans accused the military up in the phrase being
2:25 am
woke, pointing to the renaming of basis, named up the confederate civil war leaders. and in particular, the recent pentagon decision to pay for enlisted personnel to travel out of those states that have band abortion. some democrats into and point to the proportionately large number of veterans and even soothing personnel who took part in the attack on the capital in january 2021. so i think the biggest challenge about the presence of domestic violent extremism in the military isn't necessarily the numbers um, because the numbers are small, but it's that it goes counter to the oath of service. and so american see that as a real tension point when it comes to entrusting the military as an organization. compounding the recruitment problem, 25 percent of those who want to enlist do not meet the required physical for academic standards. the military has started. what it cool as
2:26 am
a future soldier prep costs to address this issues. elite units have been largely unaffected as long waiting lists of qualified personnel to join the special operations units in every branch. but it's not the expert to keep the military machine running. it's the cook's the drive is the maintenance team's the ones who are sold and noticed, unless they are not the kind of i'll just sierra washington supporters of a prominent jail, bangladesh. you religious leader have protested in the capital hours after he died of a heart attack. della has st id was treated at a prison hospital in dhaka thousands of murders gathered outside the institution chanting, anti government slogans. he was sentenced to death 10 years ago for war crimes committed during the 1971 war of independence. his jailing triggered violent protest and which dozens of people died. meantime, aid agencies and pac hassan have reported an increase in sexual assaults,
2:27 am
especially on children following last years floods. unicef says one way to help survivors and prevent future abuse is by investing in rule education houses as a bus. rob here reports from the southern send province where the floods came and never left abandoned villages now dot the landscape and southern pocket stones since products damaged buildings are all that's left of the schools. a wants thriving community, reduced to a swap to help families recover. yulusef is focusing on creating safe spaces for women and children. they have become a place to deliver services and raise awareness about hygiene and social issues. does that sound okay? i'm not, it's not affected by 2 in terms of child protection, there were a number of cases among our floods affect the children such as rape cases where
2:28 am
kids would run away from home, looking for food. but they wouldn't know if a person was going to give them food or abuse them. community outreach programs encourage people to come forward. and more incidents are being reported. if any and see didn't go farther than happened in the community. so the 1st thing which is coming is a shame for the week them, they call it that. that must be a reason. that's why it's happened to him. so we are discussing that thing and we have one more thing i read and it's the, it's not an individual issue. so we need to highlight, and we need to properly give a protective environment to over citizens. so we are open to discussing this things and we are shipping to the people who are doing these kind of x. many of the children here, especially girls, are going to school for the 1st time to change mindset on child marriage and child labor. trust must be earned as a hobby is community itself is people don't want to educate their girls where there is a male teacher. they don't feel comfortable. the advantage of
2:29 am
a female teacher is parents give permission more easily for their daughters to go to the school. they feel more comfortable with them. nearly half of all children in flood affected areas show signs of trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems. these schools are a space for them to develop coping mechanisms and to heal, pre floods. classrooms were not dis, or to rudimentary structures like this one. these tents are a real upgrade. and the next step is brick and mortar school houses. successful education programs in rural areas, the u. n. says can empower an entire generation. enrollment has increased by an estimated 300 percent compared to before the places that offered young people a better future. but also give children a chance to be children zane bus route, the ultra 0. now there was on since the province focused on the u. s. and bastards
