that people take to the leaders that sent us here. the june to accuse him of treason for acting in the interest of a foreign state, alluding to france, the former colonial power, the tempe, that they needed me to get them off the wheel tact militarily is to stop what could be seen as a contagion of cruise. there's been cruise in guinea, burkina faso, and molly countries who carry the echo last mandate like send a goal and ivory coast wants to stop this. but these states are seen as to close to france. the former colonial power for part of the population echo was seen as the armed branch of the former colonial power. the gentle leaders in neighbouring molly in burkina faso have sent their military plains in solidarity to new shares coordinator general gianni. and his supporters seemed to be determined to cling onto power no matter the consequences. nicholas hooked alger 0. meanwhile, washington which has a strong military presence in asia, has sent his new ambassador to the capital a. i mean, this of williams served as

b u. s. and best of the attorney, she is, she explains why the military leadership hasn't managed to fully control the country. this winter is throwing up everything it can possibly hear about because it's obviously not thinking very well, but um and seeing if it will work. uh, they have profess to want to have free freedom of choice that they have to repress any of the pro buzzing demonstrations. and my understanding is that there have been demonstrations all over the country or attempted demonstrations. they have the guns . uh we and i also have heard lots of reports about discontent within the military . and you're seeing a lot of a vulnerability, and these are right now since so many of the armed forces have been pulled into we're in the m a is and away from the outskirts of the other regions of the, of the country leading wide open. so there's disorientation, there's confusion,

and there i understand there's a lot of discord in the ranks. thousands of residents in western canada had been forced to evacuate. their homes is 2 separate wild, 5 inch close to the mcdougal creek. 5 is just one of more than 1000 active fives that are raging at the moment. several buildings have been destroyed with carolina in british columbia, and then the newest, the yellow north wildfire is spinning out of control around the capitol of the northwest territories headed calhane reports. this is why wild fires are so terrified in an instant it shifts grows, consuming everything, and everyone in its wake. oh my god, this was nicky lawyers. you from the passenger seat here at the very ends. you wear the right to the right. that is where we felt the most intense heat in the car. you could feel a little bit of warm driving through it. but most of it,

it was just the fear of all the rad. the read, the glow is all the lights up. the sky is here in west cologne and british columbia, where tens of thousands of people have evacuated or been told to, with a no numbers of homes and buildings already destroyed. we will start counting the number of houses when we stop fighting the fires that are burning today. as soon as we know we'll share the information. jeff and julie hoffman evacuated, but they said their community is keeping them updated on what they left behind. remotely. with the doorbell, cameras were on a facebook group for a community face for a group that just is posting constantly. here's how things look right now up the front door. it just gets piece people some peace of mind, a reassuring glance at their past, and they hope their future. after this experience that they say has only strengthened their love of this area. we were generously offered our friends house

while they're out of town. and we've heard again, just hundreds of people offering their places, offering their acreages to store all of their vehicles and they're in their toys in their things. this has been a terrible wildfire season for many parts of canada. right now. the country is battling over 1000 wild fires, many of those classified out of control and headed toward new communities. every day. patty calling out to 0. lee and my colleagues to help rahman spoke to the may of wisc colona. gould wilson told us the wildfire is continuing to threaten communities. us there so so much smoke, it's difficult to really, truly assess what's occurring um, but we were able to today to, to get so for their support which, which will help us fight the fires. but unfortunately, you know, there were some structures last again, last night and as well as today. um,

so we're not out of it by any means it's it's, it's a large fire. it's now growing up, growing to more than $11000.00 hector's in just a we're looking at just over the last 3 days. have you managed to evacuate the people that you need to evacuate? does everybody is safe at the moment? yeah, we have probably under a that we should quarter where they've left their homes, probably around 3000 anymore. we still have a 4 or 5000 people on the back page and alert. most when there's an investigation order, that means those individuals must leave their house right away. otherwise there's uh, there's risk to themselves or families and to our, our, our responders or firefighters. in most cases, the believe that there's the situation where they don't. and that's not a good situation at all. does, because it does put our firefighters at risk, should they need to go in and, and bring them out safely. westerville's a,

as an international use travel, we often speak to officials like yourself when there is a disaster anywhere in the world. but at the end of the day, you're a human being. you've lived breeds and being around this area all your life. and now you're trying to save the properties of your friends and neighbors and you know, what has to be the effective that belongs to your friends and neighbors. what's going through your mind right now or? well, yeah, yeah. and just, i'm sure, certainly, you know, initially, you know, you get some very shocking, very traumatic experiences. really feel for harvest, allowed to a residence that may experience property loss. and also, you know, word, but we're here as a, as a city, as a community, to support and support one another. we're getting to men to support from our firefighters and wonderful, uh, you know, our support from our, our,

our province. we're getting support from our local businesses organizations since they're coming coming, we're coming together as a community to provide support for those in the ball size. i also raging on the spanish islands of tenerife. we end at least 50000 people have been evacuated. michael apple reports tend to rephrase it, ends can do little, but watches the way it's plays in full decades. it's written as the north of the spanish china. wild fires began earlier this week in a mountainous national park in the center of the island. the fires have laid waste to move in 5000 the heck. these are land within a 50 kilometer radius. no homes have yet been destroyed. residents are appealing to emergency services to do everything in the power to keep it that way. i get that as well. so i'll say that defies me at the farm. we have a truck event, the farmlands and online, so they, every soon, it's

a business that was doing role. but the for, i could completely ruin us. please do something about it because the fires are right. they are, they're worried about the animals. they've left behind the middle something up the passa, the farm, and are in front of the houses. we want them to stay the same, but the father doesn't go to the homes and maybe some of the animals can be saved. we all, as you can understand, novice to thousands have been evacuated, but not every one is taking up the offer of temporary accommodation. the court, we are staying in the car. they offered us a place at a sports st. down the but we prefer to stay in the car because that we, we can watch if the house bigs or not. we know the smoke is hampering it fits the baffled ablaze from the air, but all 30 say they'll we're going to bring the wild fires. it's reckoning 11 towns under control mike level, which is 0. millions of ecuadorian preparing to vote in sundays general election

under the shadow of violence and the assassination of the presidential candidates. the army has been deployed to deliver the election materials to polling stations at the window of sundays, for it will face an overwhelming public demand for security. less than american, tennessee, and human reports from key to the doors government is deploying easy. 6000 policemen and soldiers all over the country to every single pulling station in this very large country from coast to coast. but that does not necessarily mean that people will feel particularly safe. that does not give them security in their neighborhoods when they leave their to go to their desire to their assigned posing stations. they've been a number of hitting the run shootings leading up to the election itself. it's unsure if they are actually connected to the election, but it certainly doesn't make people feel very secure. and it's certainly one of the reasons why violence and security have become the main, the main topic,

the main priority for voters. people's former mayor of what you use today. radio broadcaster says he still traumatized the nothing. the shipping company on the van into assisted me in my thoughts as we were leaving the tunnel. i use like 5 people got out of another vehicle on to have to flip them in they grab my daughter from the driver's seat. i tried to run in vain is, i mean was it bring them, you know, totally the off to 30 minutes a letter out and said we have the wrong person. 4 they were exceptionally lucky, and it was, or kidnapping, extortion and murder to become an epidemic. one presidential candidates and 2 congressional candidates when murdered this month, underscoring why the number one electro issue is violence. i'm just outside of the electoral afar. the headquarters here in key to my head of sunday's selections. you

can see that security has been increased, but when you talk to ordinary equity, lawrence, they tell you that they don't make them feel safe, that they're not part of the solution. but often part of the problem in ecuador is penitentiary and security forces are in league with criminal gangs, and drug leaders of corruption and penetration of organized crime and to state institutions. especially security forces is undeniable. this man who didn't want to give his name says everyone knows that even the justice system is corrupted every day, more body to peer somewhere decapitated or dismembered, or hanging from the bridge. what has happened to this country? your god with violence isn't the only problem. 70 year old established somebody general sales desk pans and the city center. but he has a lot of competition everywhere people are selling whatever they can to survive

here, no one will give you even a piece of bread. if you don't look for ways to buy a piece of bread, no one will give you a crumb. mountain unemployment, poverty and crime are connected. see it through the color, the is like what the blue for the month. 7 out of 10 people don't have form of look good. so how can we expect that a country living in acute poverty they won't be violent? that's impossible. there's little expectation that whoever is elected will be able to solve the crisis, which is why more of the doors than ever before are leading their country in search of the work and safety. to see a newman al jazeera, peter was still ahead on al jazeera and an even playing field in poland, where refugees and migrants say they are treated differently depending on where they come from. and a warning from judy staff about a color outbreak in the democratic republic of congo, with thousands at risk,

the lot of ground to cover in this weather report. so let's get going with the america . it's great to see you. some forecast models are showing that santiago could see half a month's worth of rain over the next 78 hours or so. so we'll keep tabs on that. the winds back off just a bit around the river, played on sunday and for the top end of south america, that rain is persistent across the pacific coast of columbia. the rain has also been persistent right through the bahamas that has poured into miami really saw you forecasts there and still more rain in the forecast on sunday, we've got to talk about our hurricane hillary as it moves up the western side of the bahama peninsula. but this could make landfall in southern california, late on sunday is pretty incredible if this happens, if it makes sample as

a tropical storm, it would be the 1st find full in southern california in 84 years. california, arizona, and nevada. some parts of these states could pick up 2 years worth of rain over the next little bit, so there will inevitably be flooding. now the winds start to back off across the yellow. nice. so there is good news for the fire fight there. and as we move to the east right now, winds have shifted. so temperatures have come down a bit in minneapolis and for the us call states. things are looking fairly quite season. the the, the,

[000:00:00;00] the, you're watching, you'll just hear a reminder about top stories. the south beach is middle truthful, a has proposed a 3 year transition of power off the west african leaders made another attempt at diplomacy to reverse the code the 2nd and find general abdur vermani. she jani follows trunks for the delegation from regional block eco box. some 55000 residents and wisdom,

canada had been forced to evacuate. their homes is 2 separate wall and 5 inch close by sizes. using a tank as of helicopters, specifies the northwest territories and, and british columbia ecuadorian super parents of ours and sundays general election under the shadow of violence and the assassination of central kansas. the army has been deployed through the election materials to holding stations. of course mullins, i also heading to the pulse on sunday in a presidential vinyl form that seen as a test of the country's democracy, upholding stations sit up. and schools engines are being closely gathered by police and the military forces will choose between congressman panata at the bottom of the progressive seed movement. this 100 today is a full the 1st lady representing the conservative national unity of heart for man, for the american is the executive director of transparency international goals. tamala, he says the nation is hoping that the selection will i should and meaningful changes

. very sad. okay, do you think who is d o c d a the or was he showed you that i don't who are really have center of support? yeah, according to the policies he's a, he's more the for the winner of the election. we 70 percent more or less a. so the $43.00 a hoping that these lecture will bring change for the countries good to go. 3 is really in a bad shape, rolling by the corrupt government, a which controls or the power seat of the state. so people is really hoping for a change, i think the be be a challenge for view. so make sure these, that'd be cool. government is, is really unhappy of your thoughts in the 1st row that anyone who is running for

the, for the 2nd round. because here's what she watching, if you want to surprise, so a they, they really want to find a way to obstruct the election tomorrow. but we have so much of servers from the european union, from the audience. so it's gonna be very difficult for them to mean to bring up the election. but the people who's rain is really hoping this opportunity to, to have our chest for change for the country to has riley's, have been killed in the shooting in the occupied west bank that happens near the palestinian town of hawaii, or just south of nablus. the to mean age 60 and so he would talk is involved by what inside a car wash is ready, forces setup, right block, searching for the assailants. it even has more from basically him according to palestinians. they say that these really forces are reading different towns and

villages close to us. a lot of we are the shooting tags that it has to do. now we've also been seeing a lot of colors, simians stuck at check points because these really got to so many check points that they're viewed when they're and manned by is really forces. we know that more is we're in portsmouth have been sent to the area causing a lot of traffic. but also most of the are usually what happens after certain shooting affected by palestinian is that is really set. there is attack villages, home people. so there's a lot of warnings, let's say, amongst us it is if you don't have to move and go on the road, don't do so because the fearing fessler retaliation. and remember what we're talking about. 33 is really the big deals in tell us to me in a text since the beginning of the year, a lot of them soldiers or is reading stuff because we're talking about more than

187 just in the occupied. what bank alone killed by is really for says, since the beginning of this year, we're seeing a search in numbers. rate buys really forces are taking place almost on a nightly and daily basis. so palestinians would tell you that these, that task come in response to the decades long as radio occupation. the u. n. has urged poland to end. when it cools the very different treatments of ukrainian and non ukrainian refugees. people from africa and the middle east side, i often find it difficult to settle in poland and become part of the community. they play and politicians for fueling xenophobia, but some have been jumping reports from warsaw. this football page is a refuge, an uplift event, and a place to find help. a life isn't easy for people of african descent in poland. country that is more than 96 percent white, nigerian born or ins is set up this group for black people to express themselves in

the public space. he's been racially profiled and violently attacked. pardon me, monkey. what are you doing in the fall? i'm go by. you have to close this business because of what he calls racism, and xenophobia life. how about black people here in the impala is very difficult, very difficult, difficult in every aspect. they don't want to give our pop men to africa and we know we have black. you just need to accept that we're all human being. so you saw about a step times just the last step tool. yeah, i'm proud of why i'm and always be black rims is a pole. if josh, though he says life is even more difficult for refugees and asylum seekers, according to the un, non ukrainians, don't enjoy the same legally productions. poland has accepted more than a 1000000 refugees from ukraine, but there is a toxic debate around migrants based on their religion at the city and even the color of their skin. a 2018 campaign by the governing party maintains an influx of

immigrants when the cause of aver free for the violence of the political parties spread similar messages of division. this opposition leader and for the president of the european council of dunham tusk. criticizes the government for welcoming migrants from the middle east and african countries. i'm going to say is enough of you has deep roots. both parties for polish society is still very mono cultural. in other words, simply very wide. we lack people of a different skin color who we'd normally see on the street. the acceptance of various types of the other is low and totally society. this does not apply to migrants of a different color, but to old people who stand out. gosh, i left her home and you cream and the war began. she volunteers of this community kitchen. her experience of poland has been very different. this is, may i have is this for us, the phones off and have some kind of help. but what those see about that issue,

just like is there a customer problems when people from over to, to like, not from slow rodney to grew type to find sled ends. i call them, i would like people to what to be su, ends in that is that we cannot because to move on to like, it's just like decided that these should be some of the house. oh. and that acceptance is what all the refugees want, whatever they come from. so i'm, i'm and dropping down to 0 or so more than 230 people have died of color in the democratic republic of congo at this. yet most of them are children. usually ships is more than 51000 cases have been recorded. north keeping provence is the worst effected. fighting between government forces and in 23 ripples has force millions of people and to over crowded displacement camps with they are at risk of most

important diseases. grants lacey is uni slips representative in the d as a he says, a lack of funding in the coming rainy season. both hemp if it's to control the outbreak. if we don't get the money we, we just really consult with the the, the cost of the nation because the cost is getting beat in terms of options. something something else to mention this in the cable is that the color outbreaks are not restricted to purely the caps. they are. we have also, was there a few weeks and we had, we had to get into a very difficult to actually go where, where we, we have to wait for the window to get because of the ongoing questions between different office disputed search of. and so i, i think that the, the other aspect of wanted to mention is that we did the dry's and we, we will shortly be losing it to the right. so that's,

that's like distribution security. ready cameras if he's gonna increase the risk a substantial certification is also very. busy the settings because we have the people living on these besides the just couple possible kind of love and the needs of digging the tree. it's also a fall costs, and we'll time consuming the process. so the standardization is another extremely important part of, along with the household types you practice and it also costs the. ready a clean drinking for scientists and bangladesh of wanting that high levels of micro plastics. fountain river space is a threatening biodiversity and control of certain diseases. to be a challenging explains why bangladesh was once

a major exposure of why the frogs refrain dining restaurants in europe and the us shipments were banned in 1989 due to a rapid decline of fraud population as well as an increase in farmland pest. such as must gators no longer there. she frogs are facing a different kind of threatened to this time from plastic poisoning. a new study by the international and union of conservation of nature says 15 out of 47 spaces of frogs here are under threat all day. of on a glove for all he already explained, told 14 when it list best to see if our truck species are already on the brink of extinction, from plastic and macro plastic pollution out emerging issues, you can see how people are dependent on it on a daily basis, so this has become a plastic iraq up last a professor of products university also discovered micro plastics and 83 percent of fish. it started. we have even discovered micro plastic in the muscles of various fish. that is the edible parts yet, which means we are already consuming macro plastics with the food chain. in another

study assigned is found in abundance of pollutants and surface water and underlying settlements of lakes and rivers in the capital. da, da da da da. com with us that we hardly get fish. no, it is. it's because of the biggest pollution reverse is canals due to pollution. fissions don't beat as they used to. they're not able to survive anymore in this part of the waters x. but say frogs have vital role and controlling mosquitoes that carry diseases such as malaria cases of dangled fever. i've reason alarmingly here in recent years, research as involved in the studies, the high level presence of micro plastic and frogs. both of the potential try to bio diversity and crop production, environmental dash scientists, the verizon disposable plastic uses, is creating a pressing challenge for food safety as micro plastic accumulating and the marine food chain trying to reach out to the 0 dot com.
