1:01 am
arrives in hawaii to get a 1st time look at the devastation caused by the least while fires activists around the world claim a victory for climate democracy. versus in ecuador, say no to oil drilling in an amazon reserves and a serial killing us, a sentence to life in prison for measuring 7 babies versus the, the legal team, a full my us president donald trump has agreed a $200000.00 bond with authorities in the state of georgia, it's links to allegations that he and 18 all those tried to overturn the states 2020 election results. all those named in the indictment were charged last week. they have until mid day this friday to surrender voluntarily to georgia state court officials. it is the false criminal case against the former president,
1:02 am
who is of course, campaigning to reclaim the white house in 2024. let's go straight out on the special who is in atlanta, georgia for us. so what do you make of this 200000 bone that's been posted this morning? i mean, presumably the sum of money is not going to bull the trump, but it's the conditions attached to the bone that might, as well as being a busy day here in georgia legal team. so donald trump has all of his other 18 co conspirators up in a meeting with quotes officials to try and say on what it means is that at the end of the evening, when they finally turn off, they'll be able to read. there's no long convoluted discussions. donald trump's point is be says it's $200000.00. that's cumulative for all the bit offenses. he faces. all right, but the conditions and the conditions off that he cannot speak to witnesses, kennel and timothy witnesses and also that he cannot speak to his other 18 corps
1:03 am
cues above the case except through the lawyers. there's nothing exceptional but either of those at the normal run of the mill clauses that would be put into any borne degree minutes and nothing special for donald trump. what's not in the document is when he's likely to time, not a bad to keep you guys still seems to suggest thursday. it'll be after the republican presidential debate in milwaukee when the other candidates are involved . toto trump is of course, said that he's going to boy towards that. i people think that by turning off on started to be you'll suck up all the oxygen of the post steam analysis essentially . and anyone who might have performed well won't get much of a media bump, because all lies will be here in georgia for donald trump turning up if he does actually turn up on thursday. i, i, and we all know that donald trump like nothing better when the news headlines are all about the trump. yeah, as you say, the big headline of the big headline of this week is that he's going to skip the republican primary debates,
1:04 am
which is on wednesday when what is the reaction been to is a now his announcement that he will be taking pause in this debate and perhaps all the debates to a look, don't tell me what is the poles very closely. and he's a weird, but it was a pull over the weekend because suggested that among republican voters for the presidential nomination, he's 51 percent of all the others didn't even come close to that. so he's well aware he's well in the lead. and so he and his team probably think, what's the point of going to the debate? everyone knows who he is. they know what they're getting with donald trump. that's not the case with some of the other candidates like doug bark them, for example, heads of him. no. so here is this is this opportunity to introduce himself to republican voters. but donald trump doesn't need to stand on the stage for 2 hours . have people criticize them to the potter's record, perhaps even signs of talk about the case here in georgia as well. so there's no real up sight to that. but he will be watching the phones because there was also
1:05 am
another pool that suggested the majority of republican voters want to see donald trump taking part in some of the debates. now don't tom says he wouldn't be taking part in the defeats pluto because the coffee, i set up a schedule that he didn't agree with as if he had some control over that. and so, and if people start to get this console that his popularity waves total comes position on that might actually change. he'll also be watching people, reactors appear in court when he was trying to get his popularity to get hit early on. a couple of date is and so he'll be think that there's a great opportunity here to come to a program. the debate talk about what he sees as the injustices against him. he's already canceled the, the big news conference he was to, to have to be out on the advice of his lawyer talking about the case in georgia. it may well be that they've said, look, which one you're going on. the debate states being unfettered and saying something
1:06 am
that could get you in trouble with donald trump. we know that's always a possibility and say thank you for that. i don't for sure that for us in atlanta, georgia or not us president joe biden has arrived on the hawaiian island as mile. we would just start looking at the live pictures that he arrived in on his plane in the last half an hour. so he wanted to see 1st hand, he says the devastation caused by the walls bias. he is expected to meet survivors as well as emergency officials. his administration has been criticized for how it's responded to the disaster investigation is currently on the way to the cause of the nice, nice so far as in the us state in over a century, a schedule patsy called haine who is covering this for us from washington d. c. policy, as i've been reporting that, that has been this criticism of joe biden and how he has responded to the early hours of this crisis is this trip an attempt to improve the upticks?
1:07 am
definitely, he knows that, excuse me, definitely. he knows that he needs to change the narrative about his response to this. now the white house, as he was working behind the scenes while on vacation, making sure the federal government was responding. but if you just look at the optics of it and of course optics are what matter when you're evaluating a president? in many ways. busy and it's very unusual for him because he has had so many personal tragedies. he has the most effective speaker when he is talking a, with that compassion about the process of grief. and that's really where he gets some of his highest marks. we have not seen that joe biden threw out this tragedy in the days after he was on vacation and headed to a beach in delaware, and the reporters asked him about the rising death toll. keep in mind, this is the largest death toll so far in modern history from a wildfire it's expected to climb dramatically. and he said no comment. and he
1:08 am
seemed to be smiling. well, republicans pounced on that and they said that it was completely the wrong thing to say, and it was just tone deaf. and really, since then, his administration has been really filled in a lot of questions about exactly why he is taking this long to get to the fire. why he didn't cancel his vacation? no, they say. and all presidents say that they want to make sure that they are not interfering with the rescue operation because they do come with quite a bit of an entourage, but really in these things likely. well, joe biden, just as took a helicopter tour of the devastation who it comes to wildfires, you really can't get a sense of just how horrific it was until you see it from this guy. that is the best vantage point. so now he's going to try and explain to these people that he is here now, and that he wants to comfort them. but there's been some people in the dr. media there and said, we don't want them here. we, we don't want them here. it's too late. we want the red tape cleared. we want to
1:09 am
get our lives, but he doesn't need to be here. well, he is there now. i mean, now that he is, you know, that what can we actually expect from the visit? what is he going to trying to achieve? well, he's going to give a speech and he's going to again, try to say to them, basically, i know what you're going through. the nation is with you. we will be here to help you rebuild. but even that might be controversial. i've seen some local residents say, it is not time to talk about rebuilding. we found that a 140 bodies been recovered. there's more than $800.00 missing. there's thousands of structures that have just completely been leveled. and they said we haven't even had the 1st funeral, and then the, the intensity of the fire was so hot that they don't even have any bodies to bury. they just have the ashes. and so if you think about the potential death toll that is going to be absolutely enormous, and the response the president's make to natural disasters that does impact their
1:10 am
standing, not just in the state of hawaii, but across the country and don't forget president joe biden is running for re election, just to take a look at some a recent examples when the federal government was completely messing up during hurricane katrina, president bush, kate went down and they said the guy in charge of the emergency management was doing a great job that really heard him in the polls, you saw president donald trump, when he was talking to survivors of a hurricane. and puerto rico, just throw paper towels with them. and then the edenbrook obama, he was really didn't in the polls because people didn't think that he was putting enough urgency to a fairly massive oil spill in the gulf of mexico. so joe biden knows how important this trip is. the narrative right now is that he came off as a luke. he has this opportunity to try and change that perception of him because this has been for him one of his greatest strengths when it comes to talking to voters. okay, thank you for that particular saying that for us in washington dc, the people in ecuador will have voted against drilling for oil in
1:11 am
a protected pulse of the amazon. it's home to tribes who you've chosen to live in isolation as well as hundreds of species of birds rep tom's fish. a referendum on the issue has been held alongside sunday's presidential elections, 60 percent, and folks. and yes, the don't the drilling. it is a blow to the outgoing ecuadorian president. he says, oil drilling is crucial to the country's economy. well, the drilling sites will now have to be close down. it is located in the sunni nature was up in the amazon is regarded as one of the most important via diverse parts of the planet. i put it was government has estimated stopping, the drumming will mean loss of $816000000000.00 over 20 years. the operation accounts for 12 percent of equity was crude oil production of 480000 miles a day. the same name and tells us more about the significance of this outcome. less than 2 weeks ago. that all the heads of state from the
1:12 am
a. m a zone in countries of south america had met in berlin, brazil, and they had been pressured to make a decision to do at least try to commit to stopping oil drilling in the amazon in region. and they wouldn't, with the exception of columbia, whose president said that he did favor that. but the president of echo didn't even attend the summit. and so what's, what we've seen here is that the people themselves have taken charge of this issue . and i'll just the people who live in the amazon in region clearly, but the whole country, which does see the value of preserving nature, the bio diversity of the amazon region, the culture of the people who live in it. so it is a major milestone decision. meanwhile, the baffle for the presidency of ecuador is headed for a run off in mid october. the field of contenders has been comp down from 8 to the final 2 vases, will choose between the left as candidates, louisa gonzales. i'm the businessman, daniel nobela. let's see,
1:13 am
it has more of the 2 candidates who than those at the top of the content as list and october as one of she was expected by many to win in the 1st round. but then came the equally unexpected assassination of candid difernando. the sensor was a staunch a adversary of her political parties, and so that at that rested a lot of votes from her campaign. and now she's struggling with we'll have to struggle to win back the, the favor of enough of enough of the people of this country to be able to within the 2nd round. while on the other hand, we have this new come a really of no. until a few weeks ago, nobody took him seriously. then. yeah, no boy is 35 years old. he is barely any political experience. he comes from an extremely wealthy family who produces a next sports bananas whose father has a run for the presidency and failed to win at least 5 times. but he has managed to
1:14 am
capture the imagination of, obviously, of millions of, of ecuador, as we'll see him as a young face of a new, a new prospect for them, especially young voters. he, he address their needs for better employment for a better future. and so that's going to be a brand new this in the 2nd round is going to be a brand new race, and it will be very, very difficult to call at this point a lot smaller. as an st. corruption campaign of panada rivelo has been elected as president rabelais one of the runoff election by land slide, securing 58 percent of age, his rival, the country school. my 1st lady sandra torres, came 2nd with 36 percent. forever. has said that his victory is winford democracy on your part of his move from guatemala city to it's largely business as usual here in the guatemalan capital. following that landslide victory from center left candidate bid them out of the idea of a low and sundays national election. here in guatemala, i want to show you some headlines and the local papers here. this 1st one reads
1:15 am
idea of a little mix. history will govern guatemala, just as his father did. between 19451951. for many people that don't realize this at a low is actually the son of water mile is 1st democratically elected president. despite this fact, he's largely seen here in guatemala. as a political outside or we see this sort of the dark horse, especially the lead up to that 1st round of voting back in june to become the front runner. and this runoff election that took place on, on sunday evening. for many political analysts here in constitutional listen and experts here, the variable that was seen largely as an international, as a centrist, even which makes them kind of a unique leader in the broader scope of latin american politics. again, the mood here is quite good. there was a press conference on monday from guatemala, is the supreme electoral tribunal who reported that there were no significant anomalies or regularities in the voting process. there was
1:16 am
a little bit of cautious optimism given that guatemala is seen as one of the more corrupt countries in latin america. and that there could be elements of, of that corruption that could be seeking to undermine uh, the idea of a little government. on the, on the one hand, we should note that the opponents of that i thought i would have party has yet to accept the results of sunday's vote. and then there's also the more concerning topic. on the other hand, which is the office of guatemala, as the attorney general, who still has a case pending against the same media party seeking to remove the bellows parties, legal status. so a lot of questions fill in answered there. there's, we're still waiting for the official certification of sunday's election. so in the coming days there could still be a few surprises you have to be seen by the elders here. i've got them all city, a still head on al jazeera, asthma is just struggles with shortages. 300 trunks arriving and capital was
1:17 am
supplies off to weeks of sanctions. and is there any forces i can find kind of sending purchased as in golf, running in the board offense. the got a minute 15 to bring you up to speed with your weather. so let's go beginning this one off in southeast asia where for a southern philippines minute. now, island, there are severe flight advisors in play. they're all has to do with the monsoon rains and how intense they're fully getting dallas with rain and shining a, stretching pretty much from glen g. providence right to that southeast corner eastern areas as well. around shanghai. now that pours over these trying to see the yellow sea and all of this finds its way into the korean peninsula. so both p on yang and so look into scoop up a 100 millimeters of rain in
1:18 am
a short period of time. so there is the threat of flooding there. now if we check in on indonesia and the lazy are looking good on java island, including for jakarta, $33.00 degrees. but here's where some of that. what weather is sneaks in on, borneo island for the malay and burn ice sides of the island down under right now with that, whether it's starting to move away from that southeast corner of australia. let's go in here for a closer look. that's really where the most effective weather is in the country as that rain shift away on wednesday. it will leave behind a legacy of cloud cover. and for new zealand, got to tell you it's a windy day for the north island, particularly the east cape gets been could see wind gusts anywhere from 70 to 80 kilometers per hour. the time stop pushing today to sun when we duction entries or the informer present and illuminate our power. our people see these things for
1:19 am
themselves and make up their own minds to sweden. this become a thing to turn your back against the not groundbreaking stories from award winning from make, etc, in order to win an conflict. it's a model for someone who would conflict sweetness on $20.00. the the welcome back here watching out. just a reminder on top stories as our legal team, a former us president donald trump has agreed a $200000.00 bond with authorities. and the state of georgia is linked to allegations that he and $18.00 trying to overturn the states 2020 presidential

1:28 am
is in full swing and holding mine just as part of your b, i s once of enough to to i'm in office. it would be your 1st impulse, democratic history. just slogan, what's the future for full? you've got legal immigration, a large number of people came, he's not to work but to benefit from social assistance. and the other hand, they also undermine security. but it won't be easy failing for the incumbent government to win again. the opposition is hitting a government spending refugee numbers and claims of, of use of power persuade others. so when october 15th, we will vote kuchinski out. those who made money from your hard work will simply have to give us old back. but the likely king makers will be the fraud, right? content that obviously a policy analysts say this social media and fresh leadership are appealing for young and 1st time voters. in addition to the elections, poles will be voting on the referendum consisting of 4 important issues. and legal

1:30 am
a referendum. i don't think all votes in it so, so a very sensible idea. in my opinion, we won't have to go to the election commission twice for you. i'm just of make my decision running a business important is not easy due to the amount of taxes this weeks before the parliamentary vote. people are split and priorities range from information to the economy and migration of disability. next, for the early polls suggest voters are likely to deliver a divided verdict was i'm a driving down to the to solve it. hold the, this is out is there are these you top stories, the legal team of former us president donald trump has agreed a $200000.00 bones with authorities in the state of georgia. it's linked to allegations that he and 18 although strongly to overturn the states 2020 presidential election results us president ju, i bought it.
