is $1.00 oh $1.00 east reveals north korea's leading defectors on al jazeera. the iran supreme leader leads prayers for home offices, political leader, into iraq, before his body is flown to guitar for burial. the rock this is l 0. lie from jo. how also coming up? 15 palestinian prisoners are released by israel and arrived at i'll ok so hospital 3 of the 5911 defendants at guantanamo, including the alleged mastermind reach a plea. deal with us, prosecutors,

and stalking on their staples from the fear of days of violence. and nigeria, during nationwide protests the welcome em, us leaders have been addressing mourners into iran at the funeral ceremony of its political leader is male honey, a speaker after speaker has said he is, death won't be in vain. it runs the supreme leader other for many lead the prayers seal the law and that took place at the university of terry ron before the leaders body was taken to the capitols freedom square and he, his body will be flown to guitars, capital joe up thursday afternoon had of his burial on friday and the speaker of

iran's, the parliament. so said israel had committed a crime with the assassination of isabel heavier and blamed for us for helping them the time for the occupation to attack without response. he's over, they've done something and they must pay the price, they must be held responsible. america is responsible for this. not crime is committed by the occupation without the criminal america and crowd. so company attorney is coughing through the streets of terre on let's get you more from the ronnie and a capital door. so jabari standing by the door. so a massive turn out from the images that we're getting. certainly it's a big day for not only officials in this country, but also the people that are morning, this house that ation of the 62 year old as well. and yeah, this is seen as a very significant developments in iran because honey,

i was in town to take part in the now gratian ceremony of newly elected now. so it's possess scale and it runs nice presidents that happened on tuesday that he was a guest of the officials in this country and of course is well idea is not a stranger to tyrone. this was his 4th trip to the rating capital since october 7th . so for this attack to have happened on arabian, so is being taken very seriously. and officials here are really from the audacity of israel to be able to carry out this attack under. so what happens next, as well, based on the statements we've been getting, not only from the officials, but also from the revolutionary guard, there is going to be harsh and swift response not only by iran itself, but also via the axis of resistance, as they're called that includes the forces of hezbollah 11 on has to chevy in iraq,

and the who sees as well. and we understand that that could possibly be one way that iran is contemplating. carry out totally ation is israel. of course, this comes at a very, very tense time. after the events we saw on falls in april iran attacks as well for the 1st time from radians, soil. they launched a number of drones on israel after israel carried out into substitution on the radian consulate in damascus, that killed a number of revolutionary guard commanders. there, so this back and forth has been ongoing. and of course, this is not the 1st time that iran has a choose israel of carry out high profile assassinations on its own soil. at least 6 nuclear scientists has been assassinated on radians, soil since 2010. 1 of them has arrived, but iran has always been in the position that it's at constantly at war with israel via the psychological war or rhetorical wars that has been ongoing. so we

understand now is a critical time and the officials has a very big decision to make. and the person who is going to make that final decision is the commander in chief of the country. that as i told the how many the supreme leader is currently going to have to make a very hard decision, any retaliation, it goes israel, whether it be by iran, on its own or as we expect it will be with the coalition forces over on the axis of resistance in the region is going to likely be met with a counter response by israel. and that is what is worrying ordinary iranians because they are hard in the middle of all this back and forth. and this regional conflict is only at having an effect not only on the psychological status of the country, but also on its economy, which has seen a devastating results after years of sanctions. and of course, it's not just israel that are on,

is waging this war against. but also the united states officials here are blaming the us for giving is they're all, not only military support financial support, but also intelligence about various points of interest where they would attack. so iran is not only fighting israel, but also the united states, and they're holding them accountable. as we've heard from ron's and boss that are to the not the patients. there's a jabari reporting from the ron you in a capital letter, ron? thank you. i mean, while your secretary state anthony lincoln has called for a de escalation in the region to have a enter the conflict uh in, in garza uh to produce. com and the north between israel and 11 on and then to work on water monitoring, peace and security. but you know, starts with a ceasefire and to get there. and also 1st requires all parties to talk to stopped

taking any escal tory actions. it also requires them to find reasons to come to me not to look for reasons to delay or say no to the women 15 palestinian prisoners have been released after being held by the israelis. they arrived at alex a hospital in the central gaza strip. they were freed at a military check point. east of there's been a last week. the is really army released 11 palestinian prisoners. many have since spoken of abuse and torture while they were detained and are having some wood. isn't there a bella in the central la garza? what more have you learned about this the yes well within the. * hour or so i knew about to palestinians who are kid now band taken by

these really military and to prison, men in israel and were released and it transferred to a lot of the hospital just a moment just about of the ambulance that it dropped him off. here at the courtyard of an off positive for a medical examination, they looked a quite exhaustive, very tired, worn out, very hungry indeed because of the lack of food that they were not allowed to have any of the food supply were living on little pieces of food throughout the day 3, a small and very, very small amount of food that were given to them as broad as we've heard from one of the palestinian relieves cops, is here describe the daily routine of torture that is sparse as early as for a i'm in the morning and it goes that the time when they are where they are working out by these really military and the way they describe how they are, what cannot do by using the the box and, and banging on the walls of the barricade. where do where, where they were kept for the past months and then then then area in verse cuba on

very close. do these really gaus off a border, but that's a kind of a kind of of ways that the where waking up at 4 am in the morning some of the, of the palestinian detain inside this, the military a cam a the the where as we heard from one of the, the, the released copy of the scribe stone people where it would go in coal man with a freak out in the list. and they didn't because of the funding. so loud voices and they use the dogs inside, inside the barricade. where do you work? at gifts inside there also we see in signs of torture, physical torture literally was that the verbal abuse that these a palestinian capital. where are they the has to endure for the past months? where do where it can by the israeli military we, they are not in the right. my, they're not in the, in the right to the mind. do a right now after 10 months that they have to endorse much of the hallway.

experience that took, took place, some of them here waited on sale, family members who are ignored being displaced in defense or they are to arrive here to pick them up and to take them to the tents that they have set up for them. some of them are still here at the courtyard of the hospital because simply they don't know where they are. the remaining members of their families where about some because it one describe being kidnapped from an evacuation center in northern garza who was a snatch away from his family and put on while he was blindfolded and put on a truck that it drove away from the area and was released today, he has no idea about the, the, the, we're about of his family, whether they are still alive, whether they are still okay. and uh, it doesn't seem to be happening any time soon because he has no clue where the or with are there are still in the northern parts or they have been displaced in the central area. definitely,

definitely difficult situations at for these palestinians released captive during the hospital. harrowing accounts there that you're sharing with us and reporting on any must move the lives in their village in central garza. thank you so much. i. the media in russia are reporting that the, an aircraft used in previous prisoner exchangers between russia and the united states has landed in clinic broad. and are you the shop of oliver is in mosque, our tracking this, this is potentially quite significant. you know, this kind of movement reports of potentially the biggest prisoner exchange since the cold war between 4 countries. so what more can you tell us about that? yes, absolutely. so seems like letting you know, pretend it keeps his word when he says we never as a bond and own man. and if such an exchange actually takes place is still totally

going to be the law just as the end of the cold war. and in the history of modern russia, they have never been an exchanges of political prisoners in the history of modern russia and its launch and expected that russia makes change about 20 to see people like political prisoners, opposition, politicians of legitimate commerce, not a yeah. yeah, sure. and to will acts of its like honest, alexandra, sasha, so she doesn't curse human rights acts of it's like a leg or low. the least also includes people associated with alex, said nevada and these organizations also sentenced previously. and so i think that present times in russian colonies, russian citizens can fix it up criticising the special miniature operation as well as several american citizens. like a journalist, evan garish coverage, and ex marine, a poll whelan. and we're also know that in batteries says here, old german citizen,

rick cree guy. it was pre but it's his sentence to death received a pause and bodies under lucas chunk. and he was accused of planning to carry out. and the alleged terrorist attack, according to the russian side, and the other re weigh oh, no instructions from the a while, according to the bellow or should media again from the ukrainian special services. and he will likely to be part of the exchange list as well. so at the same time, uh that list includes people whose trials are still ongoing. uh, so basically uh, it's a, i mean the, the russian media have been talking about best possible prism that exchange for quite a while. so it's been widely expected. so as you mentioned, playing previously, which has previously been used for prisoners exchanges between russia and the united states, london now in russia's west most exclaiming of cleaning grad early on saturday morning. so it's cool. so we're waiting for more news,

and that is why it is significant development there. you'll hear that you're reporting on and who are the people that russia is expecting to receive in return, as well as people who are branded hits pies and even killers, f as b officers. the media speculating right now. that's as part of the exchange russia plans to achieve the release of f as b office of a gene cross that called a southern a life sentence. in germany, he's accused of murdering a georgia citizen of chechen origin is in him. hon con, uh, congress. really, uh, it'd be the murder happened in 2019 and a took place in berlin. also according to slovenia and channel number one today. russians out of tomb dose of and on adults of

a who had been presenting themselves as, as in tying citizens and was sentenced by cold and new brianna to yeah, and 7 months in prison. they're also going to to get back to russia. so and basically as some, several of the people who are going to be expelled from different countries like germany and the united states, and russia is expecting to see them very, very soon. the biggest exchanged prison exchange about to happen. a thank you so much for you. we'll catch up with you a little later again. and the so have here on al jazeera su don's army liter survives, and assassination attempts of parent military rapids support forces deny, or responsibility. i didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black. donald trump's new attack on his likely arrival for the us presidency. the

. it's the 1st day of august. let's go with your weather update across europe in africa, and right off the bat, gotta tell you, the threat of thunder storms is expanding across england. so just know that there is a threat of seeing some flooding here has been some flooding just outside of paris, and that normally the region all caused by thunder strong, secure. so that so forecasts today on thursday. wanna show you friday is this storm system sweeps in to the islands of ireland and britain. eventually this rank catches up to london. that's going to drop down your temperature. as those winds turn to westerly is bumped your temperatures pretty well where they should be. now that were in the month of august, back to the here and now pulses of rain moving across areas of germany that check republic, austria, and northern italy in this. so also running the risk of seeing some flooding. now

for 3rd circuit, i'll say quite a few shows along the black sea coast, and after a very hot day in barcelona, resolved the valley or exceed means a bit more comfortable. here at $32.00 degrees, we got the heat pump in across submitted streaming and coasts for africa, heat alerts in play for northern algeria, and as we did to southern africa right now. okay, a few showers and storms popping up in south africa, but it is still warm, even hot. we could say for bulawayo with a high of 27 or the wants of the capital of the combat empire. the serene, ancient city of encore and present a cambodia is it protected unesco world heritage site. but as its temples, the lakes and irrigation canals are being preserved, many of its inhabitants are being relocated. people in power investigates the alleged forest evictions of thousands of families. the bottom for the soul of

anchored box, part 2 on a just the the the welcome back or you're watching out a 0 reminder of our top stories. this hour is really soldiers released 15 palestinian prisoners and cigars out. they arrived the ox, the hospital, and the better. they were freed at a military check point. east of the city in central gosh. animals leaders have been addressing warners in the chair. ron at the funeral ceremony of the 1st political leader is melania speaker. after speaker said he is death will not be in vain.

yvonne supreme leader left the prayers for your security council has held an emergency meeting called by a ron after that assassination. the palestine is the representative said israel must be held accountable for its crimes. iran and her mazda, of pledge to avenge any is desco's have blamed israel christmas, who only has worn out from you in headquarters in new york. i guess. can, you know if there's, there's the un security council met at a ron's request. it's in bassett or i read over the assassination of how mos negotiator is male, nea, as he visited be ronnie and capital many council members including china, russia and now the syria condemned israel's act as a violation of iran sovereignty and territorial integrity. so did palestine violence inter are clearly israel's main and only currency, not international law,

not diplomacy, not mediation, not respect for human life. there is no red line for israel, no lot will not reach no norm. it will not trample around blamed the united states as well as israel, the responsibility of the united states as this throughout the july and main supporters of these regulars, you mean division to must be overlooked in this called if your crime, this act could not be a cause we taught the authorities ation an intelligent support of the us. the us denied any knowledge of the attack instead of broader war was neither imminent nor inevitable. we encourage members of council with direct influence overrun, to increase pressure on it, to stop escalating its proxy conflict against israel and other actors. indeed,

every member of this council should call on a rhonda stop arming, advising and financing terrace groups, and to rein in the actions of proxies and partners who threaten regional peace and security. israel also blaine drawn without admitting responsibility for the attack is of merely a sponsor of terrorism is the very engine driving the machinery of death and destruction. the freaking social of the blood of innocent children, and much those from some of the victims of october, 7th, mexico, and all the victim. since then, meanwhile, the head of un peacekeeping and other envoys have been meeting with government officials in lebanon. were the targeting of a senior hezbollah official, resulted in 4 dead civilians. they are calling for restraint. christian salumi alger 0, the united nations. and as well, i has confirmed 7 people were killed, including civilians, and the is rarely strike on levels capital on tuesday, the armed group released video of it's the commander for odd shocker,

who was killed in that attack as well. i confirmed his desk on wednesday is considered one of the founders of hezbollah as military when children were among the civilians. killed right now of the, of the fire director of the for and a policy and security program at the middle east council on global affairs joins me again here on the said, really good to have you back with us now. you know, all this back to back strikes have now jeopardized at the ceasefire. talks for, you know, civilians and guys of desperately need this truce to come through. what does it all mean when it's really highlights how israel is increasing, becoming a rogue nation. we are seeing outside of international unknowns and perhaps these are eighty's. and once we, once are these, these far as you know, you're actually if you want the ceasefire, you have one negotiating party to assassinate you're negotiating a, come to parse. how serious are you for finding an actual resolution to this?

and what are the repercussions for the mediators? tar egypt. the united states heavily invested in this process with each of these states have their own interest and oral them coincide to ratchet down detentions, and find some sort of solutions. and everybody has been working behind the scenes over months, not for this potential to cease fire, but this really is customs the efforts. not only this, but also the treasures of the pensions across the region. and maybe this are, these are making the condition that if they provoke iran and now everyone has to have response or on does attack any us installations. and this actually lead drawers in the united states, which could be the objective of this, or the ultimate objective of this. it is to draw into us for a regional conference. right now, let's talk about the, the regional implications. you know, what are the repercussions of these 2 strikes for the wider region when the, i think, uh, 1st and foremost, we have to keep a close eye on the radian response this assassination happening on it raining. so

in highlights weakness, unintelligence failures were on. of course, even though it's been the since the previous, they're being present by the helicopter crash, sickening, or so weakness there. so things have to provide some sort of response, but how strongly respond is really the question that they respond via the proxies that has the shot me in the iraq forties and hezbollah, or do they respond directly as we did when the embassy was attacked in the in damascus, i think one of these calculations and this response will happen after the funeral of both assassinated leaders are done this weekend. and no, are there any offerings that you can see or are we just way beyond that? now, when the are prevention the all from once we see what the iran does, because in the same time this assassination puts nothing out and better standing with his father writes the cabinets. so we can potentially send them to see as far as is there, it has vanquished to some of its enemies and now can negotiate to cease fire from

position of strength. but this remains to see if it is really good patients to rush down pinches or to increase the right to auto at the far director of the foreign policy and security program at the middle east council on global affairs. thank you . thank you again. all right, we're going to change topics now are nigeria is bracing for 10 days of nationwide protests against the rising cost of living, the costs for demonstrations or stoking fears of a repeat of the violence during protests against police brutality. 4 years ago, a security has been beefed up around the country on a dangerous reports from lagos. in markets across nigeria, residents struck up on food and other st shows as a country, braces for 10 days of products. organizers say there wouldn't be cowed or restricted by security to force us. the idea of the i just put, says, is basically let the government a little that they just have had, you know,

of the i 100 list of use of you memorize the, a civil economic situation driven by the policies that they have made it lagos. nigeria is business capital security forces say they are ready. this is very clear. so, so that's the protest is peaceful divided valez with the void of the already 50 that we don't need and sizing 20 terms. now you're still recovering from the depth and looting that month to protest against police brutality 4 years ago. is my loan to show our lot that a was there of this will be asked my supervisor the inside even though small because as, as well as i particularly about on is addition the police police uh the lives indeed. and you were looking for one that just stopped both today. this particular put this in front of us with this is about the just kinda leaving of the

people. the organizers have presented a list of 19 demands of the quote for just as grievance as it's very mobile phase subsidy on petroleum products with their blame for the rising cost of living. the organizer says that would demonstrate until when it's reinstated, the government said the subsidy drains, which also is meant for develop. rising cost of food has pushed now get us inflation to attend to india high in june. and it's not food alone patrol on electricity prices. i've also risen, but a significant number of nigerians i'll post to the protest. your right, so put, this is the phone that meant that i, my life mostly be a part of you up with this is also my phone done and thought i'd pass that because you up with this be that you want to shut down my own right head of the protest and then i get in president ordered the suspension of tax on such an important foods, including rice, the country staple of the also signed and you know, more than doubling the minimum wage. but protest is on move. they want to state

subsidies on pickle beck and are prepared for confrontation. how many degrees i would use either because you as prosecutors have reached plea agreement with 3 man accused of plotting the 911 attack. the pentagon has not released the full details of the deals. us media reports the 3 would plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence rather than the death penalty. the alleged $911.00 master mind are highly che mohammed along with will lead to ban natasha and myself and how so we were due to stand trial in a military court at ground tunnel bay, but their case has been now delayed for years and us through don's army, your commander has survived an assassination attempt at the military graduation of such a headboard han was reportedly targeted by drove at a ceremony in which

a bates in the eastern suit on the at least 5 people were killed in the attack. and the army says, for hon, escaped on injured, the parent military rapids support forces denied responsibility and the laws, we will not retreat. we will not surrender that we will not negotiate with any party, whoever they are. there's nothing that scares us. no drone will scare us until we die. donald trump questions the racial identity of us presidential hopeful campbell harris was speaking in an event hosted by black journalist where a moderator's fact checked him for level reports or he normally loves the cameras. but this was an uncomfortable set thing for donald trump. well,

1st of all, i don't think i've ever been asked that question. so in such a horrible manner, not a rally, not a debates. this was a grilling by black journalists in chicago. it invited him to that annual event. i loved the black population of this country. i've done so much for the black population of this country. feel raising protest as you felt he shouldn't be here for giving the full but i'm maybe future president a chance to address an audience whose votes he needs immediately. he was on the attack against his likely opponent, questioning, have race. i didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black. so i don't know, is she indian or she black? tamela, hers wasn't the events. she said she couldn't make it work with his schedule since becoming the presumptive democratic presidential nominee. but she did give a response of sort spot competing in texas.
