10:00 pm
will be everywhere else, your 0 documentary list, the lead on the weird and wonderful world of global learned things for you and even trust. i feel like on the line. but i know i, on the machine origins of this, which is the ukraine's prize thinkers in washington dc for towards the senate says, i'm president by the and if it's a to the funding, the codes on. and this is all just here where a lot from the whole side coming up. i think a median separate say some advice on these hold, the 1st direct tool, soft spot of the future of the car back. whenever you cranes closest allies stopped
10:01 pm
providing weapons and an escalating dispute over great and the wind for indigenous communities in brazil, the supreme court was to protect and assess the lens the for the again in the us where you claims president vanessa lensky is meeting at present to abide in the white house. so lensky is seeking an additional 20 for a $1000000000.00 and $8.00 area. he met both republican and democratic leaders in congress wake among some republicans on the billions of dollars and a to keep summer questioning. his plans for victory against russia was an excuse, much needed 2nd visit to washington comes at a time when public opinion us is shifting about the of 28 percent of all americans . now staying on the current level 8 is excessive or 16 percent. so the amount of
10:02 pm
support is inadequate, is also a huge partisan divide on the amount of a being provided to ukraine. 44 percent of republicans think that the us is providing too much support compared to just 14 percent of democrats. who think, sorry, let's go live. not that can be how it cuts at the white house. so kimberly dissenting voices and over the amount of money being given to you train for it's worth it the yeah, there's no question that there has been a bit of a different reception to the visit to capitol hill by the mirrors, the less the in contrast to previous visits where he had multiple standing of the students, vacations, we're meeting with law makers. this time there was a much cooler reception, particularly when it came to conservative. lawmakers has a lot to do with. c accountability of where some of this money has been spent. and also the fact that it has to do with the where the money is in terms of domestic
10:03 pm
priorities and just how much money there is to go around. and that seems to be the focus of a lot of the questioning that's happening on capital hill. and so that it's how the you pretty and leaders started his day on thursday in washington. he then met at the pentagon where he did show up the fact that there is going to be within days, the delivery of us abrams tanks. although that was pledged back in january. we know that that will be a promise kept on the part of the united states, but still sort of lingering out there is the big question. that's what's being discussed right now. here at the white house is whether or not those long range missiles, but the you pretty liter has been asking for for some time whether or not that requests will be granted. and that is still a big question mark, given the fact that the national security spokes person says the why has still hasn't made a firm decision on that request yet. so it came with
10:04 pm
a great deal of symbolism. isn't that with this in person meeting, but the big question is, wilson. let's get what he wants or yeah, and the problem really is when it comes to numbers, the feeling among the american public and even some conservative law makers is at how much is too much and, and how long is this for it to continue? because the reality is, is that all ready of united states has provided more than a $111000000000.00 to jo cray says the start of this conflict as a, this is a sort of a spigot, but many feel it's time to sort of turn off and so the question becomes now that the white house is asked for another $24.00, maybe $25000000000.00, is the us congress. is this going to be the final ask or is there going to be more the us presence very clear that the us will continue for as long as it takes, but many lawmakers now believe that that is not realistic. and so this is the big
10:05 pm
debate that's happening on capital hill is the well went into the question about whether or not this is going to be part of a broader debate over keeping the us government open. and so that could get really messy. and so this is going to be the problem for the ukrainian leader is whether or not his own request is going to now be money by someone, some words i met domestic priorities here in the united states. okay. believe it, that can be how good, thanks very much for now. now ukraine is urging a diplomatic solution with potent of, of grain import restrictions. earlier, also enhanced it will stop supplying weapons to keep present the mass of landscape and cause its neighbor that the un by calling out powder and over the drain input bed. so know how the pulse of the tele valleys denouncement by proteins, prime minister hardly seem to ring true because we m as a, as an adult was we are no longer transferring weapons to ukraine because we are now
10:06 pm
on the go cells. be the most modern weapons the 6th about just don't of military a to ukraine potent has handed over tons of heavy weaponry, including hundreds of tanks. and now implied the prime minister. it has nothing left to give. the 2 things lie behind the latest announcement. first, an escalating dispute of, of grain with russia targeting ukraine, sieboldt and agricultural exports. ukraine has been forced to find other routes by the european union. farmers in eastern europe have protested against those cheap imports. leading some countries including poland to introduce bands the by far the 2nd fueling. the political rhetoric is opponents generally election next month. the right wing ruling law and justice party counts farm is among its cool constituency . keith has responded by threatening, legal action against potent and president followed the music lensky attending the
10:07 pm
un general assembly in new york insinuated. on tuesday, the poland is playing into russia's hands and it is alarming to see how some your it, some our friends in you or play out. so the entirety in the police go see a time making thriller from the green. and with that, the fracturing of a relationship that has been among the most steadfast since the war and ukraine began. yes, we have elections and on and so forth. coming. so of course the government that the governing party is obviously taking, you know, perhaps rather hot using throughout the concrete dory. but the trophies, it's been comprehensible why now it's reached the level of the president, you know, you for any president why is could be facing opponent? there's, if you was a country unfriendly country, you know, he walked out before the speech of the police president and did not want to actually organize the meeting. that is something which, you know, i'm sure will settle this, those people in the criminal and your kind of opening champagne would prove that
10:08 pm
wrong. but nevertheless, this is not helping out at least seem confident. the risk can be healed, but not without damage done to the image of an unshakable ally inspecting ukraine to the likely delight of moscow, joe know how elder 0 or otherwise on and on meaning and separate tests from. they're going to come back of hell that 1st direct piece talks. somebody jones at presidency. so the talks were held in a constructive and peaceful atmosphere. no agreement has been reached yet, but i was about on the official said they presented that times to reintegrate the armenian population by the talk support to a cease fire agreement which ended 24 hours of fighting with the separatists. agreeing to lay down their arms and this band to meet them in the dank reports. this could be the beginning of the end of the decades of conflict as they by johnny officials and representatives of estimate, comedians from the going to kind of sit down to took. they couldn't agree on many
10:09 pm
issues like security guarantees and ending transport blockades, but decided to talk again. the adults follow assurances from ozzy about john's presence that the rights of ethnic comedians would be respected. of the yes, yeah, i have said the medium population living as about john, are all citizens simply, i mean a nationalist war criminals, leaders of media and car box took these people hostage points in their brains. the talks were held on media's independence day. the country's prime minister addressing the nation, hey, thought of july and i should be valued in peace, should not be confused with a truce or a ceasefire. peace has an environment that is free from conflicts into states into estimate conflicts by this cost is not easy. it goes through external and internal shocks, and we must go through this part for the sake of independence for the sake of statehood, for the sake of the future. hundreds gathering in the yvonne for a 2nd day saying the prime minister has given up on the cut about negotiations
10:10 pm
come after a lightning offensive boy isaiah by john and i'm not going to kind of box lift ethnic. a median forces, little choice, but to agree to negotiate. but until a final agreement is reached, kind of back on media and say they have been abandoned to meet you met with in co, out to 0. the it's day 3 of you and general assembly in your head of saddam's routing counsel, the thought to all the on is expected to address will lead to soon these thinking international support has its forces baffled, revival power, ministry, rocket support, forces you and says fighting since april has killed at least 5000 people, left more than 5000000 displaced. let's talk to the article, hey,
10:11 pm
now it was life for us at the you. and so how do you want more? can you tell us about this address of the well we do know that he's speaking in the afternoon session is just a couple of speakers down so that was beginning that should have gotten underway just about now. but yes abdul l or albert overhead will be addressing the general assembly. and it's interesting, this is a $74.00 and trip out. as you mentioned, trying to build support for his side of this region conflicts, but i will get to my guest here. rosemary decarlo. she's the under secretary general for political and peace building affairs. thank you for joining al jazeera english. very happy to be here. you were doing a lot of work in sudan up until 56 months ago in the fighting, broke out. what happened? that's correct. we were, we have a special politic commission that span incident for a few years since 2019. uh, we have been working in a political process trying to bring all parties together for a transition to democratic rule in sudan. i've done
10:12 pm
a lot of work in police training for example, a lot issues. we have 2 rights course and we have seen, however, that the various groups in the country were not prepared to come together. we have a fairly united civil society on a way forward that they want elections. they want democracy, they want prosperity to their country. they want opportunity and quickly various tensions and rows, sparks flew. and here we are. we're 5 months into it now and with no engine site is very, very worry for me to see what's happening on the ground. i know just yesterday you chair to their high level meeting on some of the humanitarian aid that has been promised hasn't been to delivered. and i looked at the statistics are just shocking when it comes to the money for the humanitarian efforts. 31 percent is funded of what you need when it comes to refugees. 27 percent is funded in the conference.
10:13 pm
did you make any progress on the gap? i think we did. i think we did. first of all, we sensitized people to what is really happening on the ground are concerns, gave a lot of facts and figures, as you can imagine, and try to explain the horrors of what's happening in sudan, but also what's happening to the neighbors with a number of people spilling across the borders into china, into egypt, and the absolute need to help them. we're very concerned about sedan retentions or high fighting continues. we could see a fragmentation of the country going forward, and that's not something i think that sued in the society really wants to see. did you get hard from number? so what are the. busy and if you don't meet that goal, what's the impact on the ground? well, my colleague who hits the humanitarian affairs department is working that now. so he's someone who could address the actual part numbers further. but i, i felt that we had a lot of support. both politically, for some kind of political solution for the us in gauging politically,
10:14 pm
but also understanding and more understanding of the need to help with the ground. so i know this isn't your, your area, but really this whole u. n. j week has been about the sustainable development goals as to jesus, they're called, there's 17 things that you and has said at 2015, we need this. if we're going to have a sustainable world, we just do things like now hunger and poverty. do something about climate change, and when you look at the statistics of where they're at right now, they're nowhere close and pretty much every state and there's maybe a few categories. what does that mean for your world of piece building? okay, would it be for us? is that, i mean it's very clear, we're not going to have peace. we're not going to have prosperity if we don't achieve the sustainable development goals. the secretary general issued a policy reason a few months ago. i'd say it's called a new agenda for peace. and the 1st part of it is devoted to conflict prevention and what is the top of the list for preventing comfortably to achieve a, the, a, c t's. it's extremely important that we move forward on many of the goals,
10:15 pm
my department. and even though it's the department of political and peace building affairs is actually very actively engaged and several of the goals, of course, anything dealing with women, we are very engaged with the piece of security agenda. we are engage in climates we're working on impact climate and security, particularly in fragile complex settings. and just leave the general nature that if you really expect the society to coalesce, to move forward, to be able to choose their leaders in their freedom. they've got to have a basis, they have to have, you know, basic government that works and they've got to have some development. so the concept is pretty simple. if people can't get 5 food, if they can't find clean water, you're going to fight each other full of resources, they have left and there's fewer of them now with college. no ups. absolutely true . not, not all conflicts are because of lack of development. we know very well we have some major conflicts today that are not about lack of development. however,
10:16 pm
when we see the fragile and settings and what happens, let's just take the issue of climate, the impact of climate on certain countries. you know, there's a drought, there's moving to population populations, then the guys who are moving and replacing those were in a certain area, the farmers in the herders have a class. and it's something that could be avoided if we paid attention to how to deal with the impact of climate change. you mentioned gender quality, which again is one of the sustainable c s. duties if they don't development goals. and i recently was reading some of the, sort of your speeches on afghanistan. can you give our audience a status update because i know the taliban made promises. but where are we? well, they made a lot of promises. i myself was there in december of 2021 and spoke with tele, button officials in, in kabul and was very clear. they were said they were committed to girls, education and so on. and so on. we forget the, it's getting worse,
10:17 pm
not better. we see every month or so another restriction on women. i, it is inconceivable. given that it is very clear that the telly bond wants to see a better, i can send a one and you can nominally viable f given that isn't going to happen. if half the population is precluded happening in education for loud. thank you very much again rosemary, rosemary, decarlo, under secretary general for political and peace building affairs. thank you for talking to officer english. i appreciate that. thank you. thank you. so again, we're waiting to hear from the army chief officer dad who speech should be coming up pretty soon, and we'll keep you posted on what he has to say. but i can tell you now the villains president flattered the latter mirror zalinski and president joe biden has of left at the new york scene moved on to washington. a lot of the focus now is on the conflict in sudan, just how bad it is, how much help is needed, and how to get to the end game. we're both sides can sit down and figure out
10:18 pm
a path forward that protects the wellbeing of all their millions of now hungry and diseased, many in the, in their population that are suffering. so very much patsy. thanks very much. indeed. kind of this prime minister says the matter of a 6 separatist lead must be taken seriously. let's call the indian government to corporate just to ensure that every fm that's his government has reason to believe that new denny was involved in the kidney. bassetti would not release the evidence to the public since kind of just allegations, both nations of issued travel advisories to the citizens wanting them to be cautious. or our credible reasons to believe that agents of the government of india were involved in the killing of a canadian on canadian. so that is something of the utmost and
10:19 pm
foundational importance in a country. a rule of law in a world where international rules based order matters. the us now and the busiest and city of the dive is i'll continue. the green task of recovery move boat is swept away by flash floods into the mediterranean sea. when 66 bodies were covered on thursday alone, thousands of people were killed off the floods the close to dams, to collapse washing away homes and neighborhoods. is national organizations for migration says more than 43000 people, been rooted from their homes. i have some reports from tripoli, back to ground 0. this family is gathering what remains of life destroyed by the
10:20 pm
september 10 slots in government. the last that whole, what count themselves among the lucky ones. and the, our condition is better than other people, your friends and seeing, you know, we think us, we don't want anything more. we're living a proper life. i lost my uncle and cousins, no trace of them or their house only. god knows, they only found the body of my uncle and his daughter made his old rest in peace. 1000 software does remain missing the official death though this goes to 4000, but it's thought that number could exceed 10000. okay. and he had a set of the, the collapse of the them divided the team to do, but there was a bit of difficulty in exchanging data image. sure. the numbers really, between 10 and 20000 all of these, but just speculative numbers. the public prosecutor's office coordinated and now we're talking about the unified number for everyone, unprecedented heavy rains, but the city is too old, dams,
10:21 pm
a lease and get taught. and that's swept away into neighborhoods into the seat, limited to bring it as gain to get in. but i p station for claiming the lives of migrants attempting to cross to you. the government strategy has added many on identify bodies to its waters with some being recovered. and i didn't define it. this is what identification happens, the body responsible for the session. the identification of the missing persons is that i think several of the mobile apps, families report the missing loved ones, via phone, online and in person. and provide d n a samples for the testing that you that's the majority of the samples taken from unidentified bodies are collected by the department of welfare and forensic medicine. the bone samples are transported and we'd begin working on them as it's done here. eventually we obtained a dna profile for the cases and they are compared to a matching system until it provides us with a match. but the scale of this disaster is enormous and it could be months before
10:22 pm
survivors know anything about the loved ones. the last on the hash emergency at all . typically, the government has an ounce to budgets of mary $12000000000.00 for reconstruction and recovery from the deadliest crate that struck its southern provinces. 5 year plan is aimed at helping $4000000.00 people in the west effect to there is the funding will come from the countries budget. that group contributions and international support and the 3000 people were killed and a 6.8 monday through this quake, which is devastating remote communities in morocco's high atlas mountains. a 3 states conservative government has presented a new labor bill that's meant to bring grace in line to the rest of the european union. greek labor union say the bill actually wrote was back. basic bison have
10:23 pm
vowed to fight it. all correspondents jones threw up with us reports from athens. greeks have taken to the streets to defend the incomes. public and private sector unions here say the bill. the government is proposing links and working hours a bullish over time, pay and co to the right to strike. this bill essentially allows for a 13 hour day. it wants the workers to be on stand by whenever an employer wants, without overtime or benefits until the day they die. we want 3 year sick torrell wage arrangements to come back. a 7 hour day, 35 hour work week and sundays off in the wake of the 2009 global financial crisis salaries fell, and texas roofs is government struggles to generate revenue since returning to power in 2019, the democracy government has cut the income tax and restore the minimum wage,
10:24 pm
but it hasn't build public sector jobs. for instance, it's promised to her 8000 doctors and nurses. but this doctor says there are currently 40000 posts vacant. i mean, it's a provocative bill for health walk is the government is saying 2 things that we have to what over time to cover on sale, joke and we won't be paid extra for those time. we are exhausted and able to walk on people out thousands of yours and over time we won't even the highest. this bill stems from a 2019 european labor directive that attempts to strike a balance between employ of flexibility and job security. union say democracy got that balance, wrong. labor export for the law and houses to connect on employers. for example, an employer can hire someone on a trial basis for up to a year before commissioning to them, and different employee signs up for a, for an employer. and you only guarantee that they will work for
10:25 pm
a quarter of that time. bruce isn't a developed economy in the western sense, 90 percent of employment is provided by small businesses hiring fewer than 10 people. that means employ a finance is a free, and many workers are already doing overtime for little or no extra pay, including on weekends. that may help explain why the government is allowing so much employ of discretion. but union say it's, it's a dangerous precedent jump, so don't close. i'll just say athens fights is from a local affiliates of, i'll call you the in money of locking roads, leading to the historic city of timber to some residents say it's disrupting the flow of food. fuel entry, monetary, an aide that goes up because now where the new shared delta meets the sahara desert lies the ancient citadel of tim, booked to this unesco world. heritage site was the center of islamic civilization
10:26 pm
in the 11th century. now, it's under attacked by fighters from the al qaeda, affiliate gelatinous, probably somewhat loosely mean they're trying to take over the city that's just now unfilled. to do as of today, the situation is truly unbearable. the people of timber 2 are suffering and this is the cry from the heart. i'll tell you, the fighters controls the northern roads leading to the city and are blocking trucks carrying goods and humanitarian aid. inside timber of 2 petrol pumps are running into the prices of food like potatoes and onions are now 10 times more expensive. supplies of rice, sugar, and millet have all but disappeared. one can you come to have them on the market is currently very difficult because if it goes on like this, a lot of stores will come if put stuff like milk, sugar right in a minute. don't come in normal. it's going to be difficult for the population for of the un peacekeeping mission in malia shutting down its operation,
10:27 pm
including intern, book, to at the request of the country's government of transition. the prime minister says there is no peace for them to keep the u. n. warrant of an unfolding humanitarian crisis. unfortunately, this siege also will have created the kinds of how book, you know, many people who cannot afford to live, to move, to live, to move to. i mean, we have been alerted again and again by the office either so facing or to tanya where we have expecting we are a so not to seems out i will of the 10001000 know for monday and fee from book to fleeing the nation with the today they don't have kind of safe haven in 2012 outside of fighters to control obtain book to in the space of a few days. the destroyed ancient mausoleums set light to a library and burnt islamic manuscripts and ancient crowns that were hundreds of years old. a decade on their back. this time they are better equipped and more
10:28 pm
organized and they are tightening their grip on the ancient city. nicholas hawk elder, 0 brazil as high as cool. it says open the way for historic claims to unsettle that by indigenous people. for the majority of judges, deadline of 2098 for such claims as on constitutional indigenous groups that don't oppose the cutoff date since many were forced from then. then during the sales military dictatorship limits, they were backed by the farming community. you say the rights of me, those people should be protected. who inhabited those constitution was adopted? in 1988, a number of cargo trains run by mexico's largest roadway company operating again off the trips most bound towards the us border, halted earlier this week. while the decision follows the depths of several migrants from central and south america who fell from moving freight trains,
10:29 pm
michael apple reports the crowds of back waiting to bold this freight train known as loveless p. o, the beats the summer running again off to being stopped following the dates of several migrate. the people have been killed trying to board moving trains and others of the folding from but that hasn't stopped many from trying to on the other the item. what day to them, we're going to continue on our journey and in fact, we're waiting for a train. i've heard there have been accidents, but not as many as people say. you have to be careful and get on a train when it's stopped now and it's moving. mexico's rail network is used by many to travel, the 3000 kilometer journey from mexico self to know. i think i meant that we've
10:30 pm
been walking for 9 to 10 days. walking is awful because in my group we have people whose feet are injured mine too. and was such a long way to go until we reached the us border. i don't think we can make it by walking activists or pushing for rail operations to return to normal as they say migrant. so left with little option, but to will sit in most is just one of them. we have to understand that this is the only means of travel they have. they aren't allowed to bust tickets. and if they do, it's done in secret, or these have very vulnerable people. concise, great thing is that in may, the number of migrants initially dropped when you assign them, restrictions were introduced, the changes disqualified those applying for asylum, who haven't crossed through an official ports of entry, nor applied for legal protection in another safe country on the journey to america, the latest u. s. government data shows the number being detained along the us. mexico border rising by more than 30 percent with those trying to make the state.
