what happens in new york has implications all around the world to make these stories resonate requires talking to everyday people from me or the city, and i'll send is doing away with the 1st you want us to get everybody off the street. it's international perspective with the human touch mean way in and then pulling back out again. the u. s. republican presidential candidates take to the stage for the 2nd debate they target donald trump, who's once again, nurses slips and you're not here tonight because you're afraid of being on the stage and defending your record. you're talking these things and let me tell you what's gonna happen. you keep doing that. nowhere appears gonna call you donald trump anymore. critically at donald doc, the,

by my name's sight, this island is there a night from town? how was that coming on? mexico's president looks to take a lead on a regional planned as reco numbers of my friends crossed into the united states. the funeral was on health, the victims of the font at a wedding in northern iraq. these 9 to 5 people been killed. and we look at how the global shipping industry is looking to reduce its emissions. the . the 2nd debates, the republican presidential hopefuls has just wrapped up in california, candidates took aim at form a us president, donald trump decision to skip the debt database. let's go straight to john henderson who is in los angeles in california for us, so that today just finishing off now. so. so we understand the been

a couple of voices cooling out, trump know, attending took us through what happened that's right. the candidate seemed to know in the 2nd debate that time is running out. the 1st primary vote would start to come out in iowa in january. so they know they've got to mirror the feel that they've got any chance of catching up with donald trump, who is by far the leading contender in poll. so chris, christy. you heard a little earlier said you've been getting your record. you should be here answering for it, and if you don't, we're going to call you donald duck. rhonda sanders, the florida governor, who is a distant 2nd in the polling. he said trump raised the federal deficit by 7 trillion dollars any ought to be there to answer questions about this and the candidates went after each other. nikki haley, the former un ambassador, went after uh tim scott. another candidate in the background was swami, who had

a bum bass sticks performance that was widely considered as a breakout reform is in that 1st debate. well, he doubled down this time offering some bombastic policies. he said he wanted to end birth, right? citizenship in united states, he wanted to cut 75 percent of the federal payroll. everybody seemed to have a new sense of urgency because nobody really gained a lot of ground after that 1st debate. so they clashed on immigration, they clashed on board or policy and they've clashed on foreign policy. all of them with a renewed sense of energy and jones. so how big is the gap between trump and these other candidates, realistically, come, they catch up? it's huge, it's bigger than any deficit that anyone has ever been able to catch up in the amount of time that is left. donald trump and polls gets about 55 percent of

republican voters to give you an idea of a next one down is randa sanchez. the florida governor and he's got about 14 or 15 percent with 40 percentage points behind. everyone else is down either in, in the low double digits or the low single digits. so this field is going to have to narrow down each of those debates becomes a little more difficult to qualify for. you have to have more donors, you have to have more support in poles. and that is what is likely to happen. now the people who broke out in that 1st debate were also the people who seemed to really break out. in this debate, you've got nikki haley, the former un ambassador. she was very aggressive in going after her arrivals, back from swanny, the businessman, the youngest of those candidates. he was also very aggressive in this debate. and mike patch has really been fighting for his political life. although he was the most recent vice president. he still polling in the low single digits and he went aggressively after the other candidates as well. so you're seeing

a lot more energy on that debate stage. and you're starting to see a little more criticism of donald trump because they all know he's a leader. and they've got to make up points, which he is now carry. good to speak to john hands and that for us in los angeles, california. well as we've been bolting donald trump skipped the debate, and instead of address or to work is near detroit. alan fisher has moved from that a little some came to michigan to show a support for striking or to what goes but states does event at a non union plan the what, cuz they are not involved in the strike. and of course, he's here just 24 hours after joe biden walked on the picket line with striking workers. but donald trump says the jo bikers plans to put more electric vehicles on america's roads with decimate america's auto industry. it doesn't make a damn bit of difference what you get because in 2 years, you're all going to be out of business. you're not getting anything. what they're

doing to the auto industry in michigan and throughout the country is absolutely horrible and ridiculous. hundreds of thousands of american jobs. your jobs. i will be gone forever because for good jo. vide you're selling outside. i don't think it's him. i don't think he actually knows what the, how he's doing. so this is essentially the unofficial kick off of the presidential campaign. you have the 2 leading candidates to bite in the sitting president. and donald trump, who's in prime position to win the republican nomination, coming to an important swing state to try and win the support of working class voters. that donald trump knows that joe biden slipped a large part of the working class vote away from him and 2020, securing his time in the white house. and he knows that if he's to win a 2nd time himself that he's going to have to win then. but, and he's also asked several times for the endorsement of the biggest or to union in the u. a double, you know, that doesn't seem to be likely at the moment for

a number of reasons. first of all, the unions tend to support democrats, but also in the last 48 hours, the president of the union stood next to do a bite. and on the picket lines, and in the last few hours, the chief negotiator for the union has been very critical. donald trump, and what he did, or rather didn't do for workers while he was in the white house. one thing it's clear that we're going to see a lot of the 2 leading contenders here in michigan in the run up to the presidential election next year island for sure. i'll just see you to michigan. i tell them to us then it's on his wife. have pleaded not guilty in a new quotes also being indicted on bribery charges prosecute to say bolt menendez on his spouse except to thousands of $1.00 and $3.00 new jersey business men to secretly help egypt and governments. gabriel, as also has moved from outside the quotes in new york. it did plead not guilty uh, just in the last few minutes he just left the court house here with his wife. uh,

he had to post a $100000.00 fail and his passport was rebuilt, so he will not be able to travel outside the country unless its on official a government business. now this is a salacious bribery case, according to prosecutors that involve a mercedes benz gold bars and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash. but essentially what the prosecution is alleging is that the senator who has served the state of new jersey and his 3rd term and is once the chairman of a powerful, a foreign relations committee. he passed along secrets to the government of egypt through inter lockers one being his wife. and then his wife, passing along the secret to a e. gyptian, american business man, who then pass those messages along to officials in each of this was a back and forth over several years, according to prosecutors. and in one case,

the prosecutor selection fit egypt and government wanted the names of everyone that works in the us embassy and cairo. and it menendez provided that information to his wife, whose incentive to the egypt sion american businessman. he then sent it to the gyptian government with the right code numbers of asylum seekers crossing from mexico into the united states president. under a manual lopez open a door is cooling for a meeting of foreign ministers from 10 countries across less than america. to discuss migration, mexico's the to says he plans to present us president joe biden with a regional planned to address the issue. yeah, what ok is thomas? now what we're seeking is to reach an agreement to face the phenomenon of migration acting on its causes. as we have always said, then we have to arrive as an agreement. it's not just an issue that concerns mexico

. it's a structural issue that must be faced. this way, for this reason we will hold the main thing with foreign ministers. i think in the coming team days. john holman, has moved from mexico city. the mexican authorities are having a difficult time right now trying to do with the amount of people that heading through the country. many of them trying to get to the united states of the asylum system. he is completely overmatched at the moment. and the migration authorities rules are struggling to deal with this, especially because a lot of migrant detention center is that the country had. and now out of action, many of them as a result of a fire earlier in the year which to migrants. and for that reason does a review and because of that, the doors lots, they struggling to find ways to deal with this influx of people. uh, several of the towns in which migrant usually go through, especially in the north,

not the models at people on the see that's quite is a sing large numbers of people. thousands of people in those towns as is typical chula, which is on this in the south of the country with the food, with guatemala, to the point where in top of chula authorities are putting on buses just to take people elsewhere to what they say to do what they say, the pressure rising, the situation. so is not such a congregation of migrants in top of chula, where are they coming from central america. but also in increasing the south america countries like ecuador to venezuela, venezuela, to ongoing economic problems. ecuador struggling with not quite violent and with political violence, especially at this year. so there's a lot of people running, again, free mexico, which mexico isn't really being able to deal with. and for that reason, president, under his manual low piece of the door is cooling for meeting with other countries in latin america at to try and deal with this problem. the cause is but also

potentially the poor thing that some of the people from mexico back to the country of origin. so we'll see how that develops. john holman, out to zeta. let's go through the or there's been a powerful explosion in the is but capital task and the local media is reporting that the blogs took place at a customs warehouse near the airport video speculating on social media show a call on the flames and smoke rising into the sky, a funeral suff and health, more than 90 people who died in a fi out of wedding policy in iraq. yes. today, the place don't hit when fi works. we use inside the venue made up of what he reports from the company in iraq's and then of a provence the . 7 weddings had a breach in tune. the mess funeral a day after

a fine ripped through the vineyards. not on my head to these people when to have fun, but it became the opposite. it was turned upside down and got side just instead of happiness. i mean, it is a very big tragedy. honestly, the atmosphere is unbearable and we are very sad. the samuel is now dizzy me to about him out of all their families. he lost cool. others loved 500 or so. thanks to god. we have less because my son has 3 son while i'm lucky if you lost one. 0 and still has to. wow. many spend i was searching for the. c ones how much do you think the guy didn't even have my mother in law? we was sitting at the wedding party. she fell over her head. i was with them. we was sitting next to the kitchen and when the door was opened,

we got out 3 days. or else we wouldn't have been able to escape neighbors who are trying to help now traumatized to swell up to see our dog. when is off going bit, we heard ambulances and the cause. since on one of these close to the hole, we came out to check what happened to the bodies were being taken out. the young people will flooding through the halls to get out as many people as they could, some sort of to say fired work started the fire that to, to, through the packed whole the name of the materials used in the construction of buildings like this one had the files to spread rapidly. some of the bodies of dead are so badly chart that it is difficult for emergency teams to identify them. hopefully she'll say an investigation is under way and the number of people have been arrested. dr. tod jodi. a stop for the investigation is ongoing.

you all know the reason of the fire. i've not, it was the setting of a fires inside the home. they use a fire works in an unusual way and as you know, fireworks and not permitted outside of the home. let alone using them inside deadly fires are frequent in the rock, but people here say, until the seat is action is taken to ensure safety and accountability. tragedies like this will happen again. and then a note of the rock. the global shipping industry is one of the wells top produces of greenhouse gases, despite pledges to improve fleets, progress is low, or you and trade and development agency report says that can be changed. color ships produced 3 percent of global emissions, but that can be reduced. slower speeds would mean they use less fuel. high tech

paint could reduce friction between the vessel and the water and that will fuel consumption. and a new generation of so called road to sales could push launch vessels as if there was sail boats that can improve efficiency by up to a said 99 percent of ships use fossil fuels as opposed to fuels derived from agriculture, green hydrogen, which are available jacob armstrong is from the transport environment. green advocacy group based in brussels. he says it was some shipping companies already investing in green energy. there's still no push from inside the industry for change. just 2 weeks ago we sold one of the biggest companies in the were shooting companies in the world. and that's the danish company. they've ready for their money by the mountains because they've ordered a series of. busy ships that can settle on green metal, and then they've invested the need and revenues in method. no, i agree mental emotional derived from green hygiene. so this is one of the,

the scalable, the real scalable and sustainable alternatives are greenfield. so we ready to say as possible, and the thing about this is when we were talking about the big sums of money, i can, it does when you to look at the figures, it sounds like, you know, the point of the shipping industry is that it's built on incredible economies of scale. so that means we did a study last year to show that if we took the ships running from china to europe, on the green us few as possible, the price of the final product, we don't get right. which are to go up really much. okay, so for example, a pair of trainers with the greenest you as possible the price will only go up less than $0.10. okay, so this is more than possible. what are the big issues with, with the shipping industry? it is, is, is these assets, they have to ships a really, really long after the fact that they lost their thoughts are 20, even in some places best yet. so that means it's difficult to kick, start the transition, and we read, but it still means we were the ships we want to now, what happened to 2050? so we really, really need to check. now here's the thing to say, hey,

is that we don't have the, the push from the regulation. we don't have a policy which is creating a level playing field and incentivizing our shipping. some things to do guys couldn't use the still ahead on al jazeera will take a closer look at who the wind is. the news as well, from the 2nd republican presidential debase. on the 8 i will with messa and google heat such as chat gpc gets full access to the the weather is improving in the northeast of the us, but you couldn't say the same for parts of georgia in particular florida, by improving, i mean, getting dryer and less windy, as you can see, there is that breeze just off the coast of washington dc, but without the breeze sliding, we think of funded phones might be

a risk in florida with some flooding. we have seen some big shots in the midwest and moving slowly east was into the higher values. i think marshall kind of those. and what was heavy right in british columbia and pots of washington state that is also attending to dining time. whereas there was some pretty heavy rain still around and started for florida. so through cuba, 200, yours, maybe beyond the costa rica flood risk exist here. these to flash flood risk. not so much of that thinking mexico. remember, this is vinny from the geo screen. that's coming west woods, but we think it will stay a long way away so as yet no real consume in south america. very hot. recently, particularly in brazil, rios up to 40 unless he sold down again 23 degrees here and south. is that for the luxury or the 18 and ascension returning to 2500, you take the deep down below that. that's because the cold has been moving north was is producing big shouts not far away from re a. the weather announcing tina on the whole is looking pretty fair and quite warm.

the have the right to boycott. anyone i want to and the state has no business getting involved in that was just opening my annual contract from the state of arizona. and i was rather shocked to see this. the new 3 part series explodes, the implications of us and people who called lowe's for freedom of speech and 1st amendment rights got chosen and blessed us because we protect israel. i'm going to continue to do on a state level all that i can to support the one the bill on which is the around the the

welcome back to watching out. just a reminder, i'll top stories of ssl and the president of mexico is cooling for me, seeing a foreign ministers from 10 countries across less than america to discuss. migration record number of migraines have been crossing into the united states from mexico, funerals to being held in northern iraq where at least 95 people have been killed and thousands injured off to a 5 broad couch at a wedding. 9 people have been arrested and an investigation is on the way. the 2nd debate for the republic republican presidential hopefuls is just wrapped up in california is candidates to a former us president donald trump's decision to skip the debates. no, of course parliament has unanimously very suited to enshrine its nuclear program in the countries constitution. the move follows a speech by the countries, the victim john to the supreme people's assembly. earlier this week, north chris invested to the united nations said that his country could be pushed to

nuclear war by what he called hostile threats from outside. this is how the north korean state television announced the constitutional amendment. and she's only going to get out and heavy as hell booming. that's all. how much came from on the external. a fast secretary is to conduct the external activities to create and conditions and environment in favor of the korean revolution and the permit solidarity with a nation standing against the us and the western strategy for sacramento law firm. and here into the revolutionary principal, i understand of independent living at the floor of the struggle of the i'm to imperialist independence, countries less close to florence larry in. so florence, tell us a bit more about this constitutional amendment and what it actually means. and that's why it's a north korea is rubbish, dump parliament is the supreme people's assembly is unanimously adopted

a constitutional amendment which makes the country's nuclear policy um, part of its basic law, a part of its constitution really. um and north we heard north korean, the de kim jo wouldn't say in his speech that his country is going to continue to accelerate the more than i zation of it's nuclear weapons to give it an edge in strategic deterrence. now north korea considers the us as its biggest security threat a threat to its existence, and it is considered as a joint minute treat drills between the us and south korea as provocative as preparation for war. now in his speech came also deny, denounced the increasingly close ties between south korea, the us and japan, comparing it to an asian version of nato, calling it the root cause of aggression. now last year north korea passed along with that also declared that declared itself a nuclear weapons states. and it also officially enshrined into law, giving the country the right to conduct

a pre emptive nuclear strike if it considers itself to be under threat. so what was seeing the north korean parliament do this now is essentially an extension of what the north korean parliament did last year. and the message here is very clear. no career has no intention of giving up it's nuclear weapons program. and in fact, under kim jones leadership, we've seen north korea, meghan, ever make ever more sophisticated nuclear weapons. and last, you conducted a record number of missile tests, as lawrence, how concerned will the neighboring countries in the region as well as why that will be about these developments to explain the concern, because here this frontier is not on the north crib becoming most strong and militarily the developing o increasing the number of weapons and it's off now, but also just what north korea is doing. could change the face of joe politics in the region. we heard kim say in his speech to paul them and he talked about wanting his country to pay a stronger role in

a coalition that stands against the us and what he termed as the new cold war. so out of this, a consent that all of this could really ramp up tensions on the korean peninsula. remember, this also comes just a few weeks off to kim, met russian president vladimir putin. and that's increased concerns that's raised concerns about these 2 countries drawing closer. and that corporation perhaps extending even to minute terribly. which could see, tell me i'm receive technical assistance, but it's nuclear weapons program in exchange for perhaps giving weapons to russia. so those are real concerns, which is why we're also seeing renewed efforts on the diplomatic front. and last, just a few days ago, we saw a senior diplomats from japan, china and south korea, hold the meeting here and sold where they've agreed to revive a lead as summit, which has been suspended since 2019. and analysts say, is that as an important opportunity for south korea know totally to improve relations with china, but also to bring china into the discussion on how best to deal with the nuclear

threat from north korea. okay, thank you for that florence lorraine, best for us. and so let's go back to our top story, the republican presidential 2nd debate. we can get more on it with our cow. he's the director of database at the university of michigan. and the order of debating the donald, he's been out that event he joins now life from so move out in california. thank you so much for your time, sir. how tricky was it? do you think for the candidates to look into today's debate, knowing that the last debate it absolutely nothing to change the outcome of the rice, it is very difficult. know, walkie. several of the candidates had solved performances, but they didn't do anything to dent the largely the trump had. and in some cases, it only increased nationally and ends ends early states and been chris christie. tonight had the best idea of trying to attack trumpet every turn, criticizing him for not being on the stage. i'm saying that you should be voted off

the island at the end of the debate. but i don't know if it'll be enough to actually lower him back to the stage. and even though the santas and other candidates do pretty well tonight, trump may have benefitted the most by not being attacked like the others and getting to do some counter programming and important spring st. like michigan is interesting. you bank that point about making digs at trump. i mean, in the past, it's a talking trump, by all the republicans, doesn't necessarily gain them much favor with that base. does it now it's very tricky because they're trying to court terms, voters by who, while so criticizing them, so it's a very fine line and they're, you know, they can, you know, talk about that. he did a good job as president ramos why we did that, but he has a lot of baggage and the republicans did not do very well. and the 1st made terms in 2018, obviously. trump lots and 2020. and then even 2022, the republicans didn't do as well. and about run his address tonight was doing good job of saying that while republicans overall didn't perform very well in florida, you know, he did well. and the democratic party is really on the ropes there and showing why

he wanted to take his vision from florida to the rest of the country. but it's very tough to, uh, you know, attack someone where you're trying to don't want to do too much to alienate their voters and, and turn them off and you hope they get their support. they thought this election and the future because many of the candidates are still very young and have a bright future ahead of them. yeah, and what i didn't understand was if you're going to attack trump, why not took about all his criminal indictments against him in the 1st debate in a walk you, it seems like the audience had no interest in kind of related getting mad and all the other candidates already you're basically you said it was gonna support, i mean, he gets convicted and many even committed to part ending him so. so that's top because, you know, the, a lot of the republican party in the voters believe it. there's a lot of photos ation going on adjusting the departments and the documents are all unfair, but tonight we did see them attack them over things like abortion in federal spending address. you're not taking the time to debate so they have to pick their issues very carefully. where they do try to draw those contrasts. yeah. talking of issues . i mean that any of the subjects that came up tonight, surprise you. i mean,

they were questions on gun violence, childcare costs. these are not normally republican debate topics. all that and democratic yeah, sure. i think, you know, this debate was hosted by fox business and so there's a little more economics lance, the dates 1st question was about the auto workers strike. and that's because it's very important in major, you know, industrial manufacturing states. and also because trump is, was in detroit tonight. um, but yeah, many of the questions were, um, i was surprised that abortion didn't come up until the very end. kind of prompted by the scientists. the moderators really didn't mention trump until 5 minutes remaining the debate, and there wasn't a, as a substantial discussion on ukraine, which we saw in the 1st debate. so, you know, some of the questioning which the moderators have a discussion, i was very questionable. and they also, in some cases didn't really follow up appropriately and just kind of, uh, you know, allowed the candidates talk each over each over. so i, i think overall the debate was a moderate, very well. and it was the 1st time any of the 3 moderators actually did

a one of these primary debates. and it showed tonight, yeah, not was not much motorized and going on. well, if you were to pick a winner and it lose a who would they be? yeah, i thought, you know, the santas and trump benefit of the most trump because he wasn't attacked then he got, you know, the other candidates to basically argue with each other, but just add to shared leadership. talked about as positive record in florida. you know, stop this survivor skid at the end showed real leadership there. harking back to ronald reagan, who is the obviously the, the foundation and library, the hospital bates. and i thought robert swami really packed backslid is the 1st debate he was as far as the mate ever. and he kind of got a lot of new and notoriety, but this time was really taking a lot of hits and punches from the other candidates and didn't hold up as well. what kind of under scrutiny? so he may have been going in the reverse position after the 2nd to base. okay. really good to speak to you and get, you know, it says on how the director of device the university of michigan.
