a known as crews continue the search for the nearly 850 missing people area i spoke to the high net resident austin collate for he told me about the moment his family fled and there was the wind coming from the hurricane and so we'd lost power, so we were home all day, my cells, my brother and my grandpa, but we no one knew how close the fire was to our home because the wind was blowing the smoke everywhere. so by the time we had left, i mean we are, our neighbor's house is on fire and that was our indication as to how close things were. so it was a matter of minutes that we had to just get in the car and get out as fast as we could. we've had our property in the family for 4 generations by now. my grandfather that escaped with me from the fire, was born on that property. so we're going to do everything we can to rebuild, no matter how long it takes. we kind of give out
5:05 am
a lot of questions being asked about the fact that there wasn't enough move to, to fight the fires in the initial hours. how was a was not being diverted away from private properties. and i've been reading that's just because only 25 percent of was a in now is controlled by forces condition. some lice on this uh, water is always been an issue for the island. then that goes back to the plantation era, as you call it with sugar teen and pineapple seals were in operation. so a lot of water does get diverted from natural streams and communities for commercial use. who do blame? what's gone wrong? there's so many people and issues that we could point our fingers out, but i think the result that we had in the last 2 weeks of the loss of lives, the loss of property, the loss of resources can just be blamed on how things have been mismanaged. for
5:06 am
i mean the hundreds of years that the people have been subject to, you know, the effects of colonization and tourism to we've been hearing about the challenges involved in identifying the many hundreds of people that are still missing a is, is that something that has affected you do you know anyone who is being affected by this because that can be incredibly challenging. no doubt. yeah. personally, i've been lucky, aren't families been all low to that? we made it out to safety and time. but every day i'm searching, looking at the list. i've had friends who have lost grandparents already and just a constant reminder that there's so much unknown puts are really big stress and everyone is a small community. why do we know these victims and their families personally or not? we do have such
5:07 am
a tight bond with our community members that it does affect us. all japan says a will start releasing treated radioactive was that from the sucrose, human nuclear plants into the pacific. from 1st a u. a nuclear watchdog says the government's plan is safe. the china, south korea and the pacific on a nation's against is the plan was approved 2 years ago by the japanese government to 5 at the command, the commission assets at the plant, which was originally used to cool the fuel roads of implants else it smelt down in an accident caused by the 2011 nami, a speak to a knock of montgomery. she joins us now live from tokyo. that has been a lot of control the sea around the release of this war set, especially from japan's neighbors. but it does look like it's gotten the go ahead. no yes. so we're actually standing right outside the japanese prime minister for the meals. she does office where she just announced that starting this thursday,
5:08 am
japan will begin releasing treated radioactive waste water from the focus in my diet, nuclear plant into the pacific ocean. again, japan will begin releasing this water from this thursday if there are no obstacles and weather permits. now this decision comes just 2 days after she visited the plant himself, where he met with plant operators to ensure the plans safety. this decision also comes after i a report in july which endorsed japan's class. but just a few minutes ago, there were dozens of japanese people here today, protesting the prime minister's decision. they claim that there isn't sufficient evidence that proves the plan is safe, and they excite concerns over potential reputational damage to solution. a fisherman, we're still recovering after the 2011 to push him a disaster. now this concern was echoed by the head of the times national fisheries federation, who in a meeting with chita on monday, said that his group still does not approve japan's flat. now the government has
5:09 am
located around 50000000000 japanese. yes. that's roughly $342000000.00 us dollars to alleviate any financial burdens on sufficient fishermen. what has japan actually done to life is off its neighbors, like china and south korea. all right, so in addition to meeting with the christian, my fishermen with the i a d, a with the plant operators, japan has been trying to get the entire public behind. it's flat now in 2015. they did agree along which took go in a written statement that with out for christian my fisherman's support, they would not begin the rubies. but as we can see from japan's decision today, they're still going ahead with that decision. now japan has also met with his international neighbors that includes south korea, china and some of the pacific islands in south korea. presidents use the fuel has
5:10 am
supported the plant, but he faces domestic opposition from civil groups, which has protested japan's flat. in china. the government has called on to pad to stop treating the ocean like its own private sewer and has said that it would inspect all of the sea food imports from japan. thank you for that kind of co montgomery that for us in took care tal on school. i'm a prime minister tex than should know what to has returned to the country of tools and such a use of self imposed exile. should know what his arrival is. do just as tight and peas. propecia varies for a new prime minister. the progress of new ford, one elections back in may, but the parts you need to has been prevented from taking over the office fast. that was admitted to a point in the senate that blocked him. then the constitutional court suspended him from parliament. let's get morning will this the speech attorney chang who is live at the bank called international efforts?
5:11 am
so, uh, what, tell us, what exactly is happening. i mean, why, why is the here now to will this time as well? he said that he's wanted to return to use. we know he misses his family. he misses thailand. he's now 74 years old. i think he's very concerned about no spending. his final use in the home of his book while he's coming back. now with that, it's a lot more interesting he, he said initially off to the elections in may. he was gonna come back 2 weeks ago when it looked like his policy per tight. and his, the was the policy that is nominated, his daughter was prime minister, may win the election out. right. that was been canceled when it became a little more complicated. now he's returning today, we understand his plane, who's just landed. he should be coming to these doors behind me and we think about
5:12 am
1520 minutes. there's an awful lot of speculation about the deals that may have been done between mr tax and the powers that be in china. the ami, the moment key to secure some kind of deals so that he isn't thrown in jail at the moment. he's facing 10 years in prison. the crimes he committed would tries trials that took place in a sense ship. we assumed some kind of an arrangement that has been made, but we don't know was none the less i think it's also important that he's returning on the day is that vote is happening involvement. but his policy is going to take the majority of the seats and what could be the new government? yeah, as you say, time piece, preparing to vote for a new prime minister. give us a little background to this because it's been a 2 mile to a couple of weeks since the elections. why is the votes happening now? was be a month since the elections and i think
5:13 am
a lot of people in china and getting very frustrated about the fact that hey, the policy they voted for and the law just numbers move forward is, is going to be says again that government power less than the 2nd policy per time when a lied to me is the tax and said yesterday is now formed a coalition including military bank policies. that was a problem is they've broken from their election campaign, but they say they've got a 314 seats in the lower house that so now to get the pick for prime minister through that pick is going to go ahead the full the house later on today, however, it is a very complicated coalition. they have, we don't know whether that's going to be enough to get that 9 into the prime ministers seats. we assume they're all sorts of background deals. i said yesterday the various ministers had been divided up amongst the coalition partners. we think the prototype will probably take the justice department that will be a direct impact to mr. texas return. particularly if there is
5:14 am
a review of those sentences that he has to face when he touches down. but again, i think we're going to see that coming out in the wash in the next couple of weeks . the big thing a time to get them out in front of parliament today to try and pull some truth to that for me in 5 minutes. disposition, that will give them an awful lot more power kitchen negotiation. okay, thank you for that. tony chang live for us, sign coke international headphones. a judge in the us state of georgia, southern bailiff, $200000.00 for donald trump. the bone for the former president is related to the powerful racketeering charges he on a scene all the keys to a criminal, a conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the states. trump has announced that he will be going to atlanta on thursday to surrender to georgia state court officials. okay, let's talk to rosalind jordan, who is live in atlanta,
5:15 am
georgia. so what do we make of this $200000.00 form that's been posted? well, it's a small amount of money for a man who says he is a billionaire, but the fact that the based uh lawyers for a donald trump here in atlanta negotiated this bond with the district attorney funding. well, it's about this bond agreement was approved by a local county judge says that donald trump, at least for the moment, is going to go through this criminal process and has promised that he will turn up in court. not just for his surrender, which is supposed to happen now on thursday, according to the former president. but for the trial back should happen if the prosecution gets its way early next march. this is a process that could have taken place at the jail on thursday where the former president will have to take
5:16 am
a monk shots and submit his fingerprints as part of the process for starting this criminal trial. but instead, because of ongoing issues over at the jail and for the sake of trying to move this process along a little more quickly, they went ahead and they started negotiating the sort of bail arrangements in order to get to the former president and his co defendants before the judge as quickly as possible. austin jordan, that for us live in atlanta, georgia. so head on al jazeera, hundreds of trucks find me, arrive in the shad with supplies on 2 weeks of sections the . let's go with an update on the monsoon range. great to have you along. so 1st 10

5:21 am
amazon rain forest. it with doors yet to neighbors or the news we have made history, we really have to, david can look at ourselves and say that the dream of millions of ecuador ends is now the realities example less than 2 weeks. after heads of state of south america's h, m. a zoning countries failed to include measures to reduce or end oil exploration in the rain forest ecuador ins took matters into their own hands. ecuador is the 1st country in the amazonian region, where people were able to organize and put together a referendum that will prevent any further exploration of oil and also mining in another very sensitive environmental hot spot in this country. still, despite the results of those referendums, there's no guarantees that they will be reversible. organizes are currently going to quit orange to remain vigilant, november and we will not allow any future government to back track on the will of the people. we must keep defending what one at the ballot box like get to get
5:22 am
another to a non to several message to the to presidential candidates that will face a run off on october 15th after sundays, inconclusive election. you definitely candidates. lisa gonzales is in the lead split spaces, an uphill battle against arrival. so the 5 year old and he has no boy, a wealthy businessman, but little political experience surprised pundents by speaking directly to young at the door ins about their needs. i ask on the sellers, if it's possible twins, since 67 percent of voters didn't support her and the 1st round that it is almost like what is the almost like and i have like we are sure that we will when people are bidding on hook piece and come for our country on development, not on fia and tara, which is what they tried to impart yet in the last few weeks to weaken us under the battle for the presidency. both candidates would now have to take into account the
5:23 am
new phone, power adapter doors environmental movement. you see and human outages era. he took a spring and carlos laurie and all denado. he's professing development studies at the i'm the in the university, joins us from quito. thank you for your time, sir. so 60 percent of ecuadorian is very to to band oil drilling in your sunni national park. who's us the outcome you expected? yes, we have a long tradition of a very deep the environment, the punch used among the audience. we have a assuming that are going for them about the reducing or controlling line 9 in the defense on us a 17, and we cut also, this'll bards from the 62 percent of liquids audience. so this is not as for breast a, these is a fact that the big minorities waiting
5:24 am
a to and reviews and embeds and presented by your diversity. and how significant is this going to be from an environmental point of view, not just domestic, a also internationally. internationally is the 1st time that annoy looks parked in country if have a seat show it to keep on and there around poster constituents the where is the a by university conservation and the sustainable economy. these, these are very important facts and that it will be the beginning of a process in different countries to the king of prussia and feelers under around different things. and you think it's going to set a precedent on oil rolling and the amazon yes. in some countries kind of a meeting. yeah. a week ago and they decided to, to push forward
5:25 am
a conservation policy or an adoption of the back of his track feedback team. it just said says all explanation in the regional on it to look for the international finance. as the bart for these kinds of transition needs repaired and the minute whether it is a bang, boyfriends them in that, that they racial. we just bought the government such as the governments impressing under federal government in columbia. it's amazing when you read in more detail about this land one heck. so if you sunni land supposedly contains more animal species than the whole of europe, which is, you know, really mind boggling. i mean, how far is this move gonna, to protect this land, go towards tackling climate change? yes it actually we need to do to remember that the yes one and that's what our bark is the most by you. the burst got spots in the muscle nonprofit went into work. and in the i'm
5:26 am
a some basing is the most the lectures remain in great parts in the planning. so the significance of the, i'm assuming a for a plane, a drug lead showing an and current that you'll see. the 2nd limitation is, is very important that this way we need it at the because i mentioned with them as only as a brand new order for the i'm particularly or so to minutes. thank you. call us laurie acknowledged and other professional development studies at the university. okay, let's see. one of the story is we were just talking about the highlands a full not 5 minutes. so you can see in the has just returned to the country up to 13 years is of self imposed exile. these are life pictures from fine coke international efforts. let's go to tourney. chang, are you standing by?
5:27 am
so remind this tony about the significance of uh, the full my pm returning in this way. it is hugely significant. this is a man who shudders his new law job title. the last 20 years he came to power and 2000. the one is how sit in the military 2 and 2006, but even in the years since then, he's being very present. you don't see them, but there is a huge bank of red shirts to pull to over to my right there and very loud voice shout, single employee in the boss sharing base for to. and they've been out on the streets and trying to move a decade. campaigning for him to return what it was. so for his party to step back about. and we've seen a political deadlock in china. we've had the 2 in 2006 the q in 2014. it cranked down on the streets in 2010,
5:28 am
all sorts of turmoil attacks and is very much the roots of that. his return here could potentially signify a place where the thailand can result, there's going to be a new government potentially voted in today, or it could be there were 10 more problems. i didn't think anyone's really show at this stage exactly what it means. but the people here are the apple today, simply an awful lot of excitement tax and has been away self imposed exile since 2008 when he made a very brief for it to we don't know well, faces him upon his arrival today. we think the police will arrest him and take him to face us, the stuff out standing judges. we assume that he's done some kind of a deal, not to be put in jail to face the 10 years of sentences that he should. but at this stage, i think many people here just happy to see him back home, try ground for the 1st time in over a decade. yeah, i mean, as he say is not,
5:29 am
we can see this and forces, but we can definitely hear his support as clearly very, very happy to have him back. what are your thoughts on what is likely to happen later today? because we do have that votes crucial. so taking place today on who the next prime minister will be again, it's very hard for us to speculate. i if i have the law just block and not ruling coalition, they say they have 314 seats in the lower house, but we saw a collection with that logic, a number in the house. go and try and choose a prime minister before a couple of months ago. and they weren't able to do it. the key is the unelected sentences, most of whom were put in place by the ministry. and that is why we suspect a deal has probably been done to time before the election of the absolutely pledge
5:30 am
they wouldn't bring military bank punches into that coalition. but now they've got 3 of them. they may well bring with them supports in the senate to get a prime ministerial candidates elected today. but we won't know until later this evening when that actually happens. i think a lot of people here very happy the taxes back that a lot of their scene has come. all the many of the why do are like sure that his policy has done deals to come back. i think we really at a saw that it puts all, i can get into a government, they can start the process, but they do face an election to a very skeptical about the motives and things that it's all about texting coming home. okay. thank you for that. tony chang that for us at the fine comp for so you can still see those live pictures of tax. interesting to watch who has just returned to the country up to more than 15 years. a self imposed exile will be
