yesterday. exploding across the marketplace is on street corners ending homes. united nations condemns a communication device bloss across the 11 in describing it is a violation of international law. meanwhile, as well as continuing its as strikes on gaza at least 13 palestinians, a killed and rough and wildfires in peru, destroying huns and crops, thousands of hecht as of land consumed by flames. the is writing, this all is of hit the lebanese capital bay route destroying 2 buildings in the southern suburbs and canning. at least 14 people. more than 60 of us were wounded among those killed as a senior commander of hezbollah and bring him up. a dose of jabari begins coverage now from bayard. a scrambling to find survivors after his railey strikes his

building in a crowded residential area of southern bare route. several people were killed and dozens injured. israel's military says it killed one of his will, as most senior leaders. it brought him a keel. has what law has confirmed that he has been killed in the attack? the liberties government accused israel of targeting a populate or residential area. yes, again, this is not the 1st assassination of hezbollah officials and southern bay was on july 30th. israel carried out another attack, killing flood shocker, as well as number 2 man in a similar error strike in the same neighborhood. defense of smoke continues to fill the air here as the rest of the workers continue to work around the cost to try and seek out any survivors and bodies that are buried under the rubble behind me. now down here is the most densely populated area in 11 on it is home to nearly 700000

people. and this, the top has shaken this community to the core. once again, analysts say as well as trying to divert the world's attention away from the dire humanitarian situation in gaza, then you mean that in, you know, these really prime minister is trying to shift the attention completely away from happening in palestine and gaza and the west bank and then saying to the what now i'm concentrating on that and on. and this is my next full. meanwhile, hezbollah continues to launch hundreds of rockets into northern israel with no casualties reported this situation has the escalating and recent days here. follow israel is coordinated attacks on communication devices which left dozens that and thousands of civilians and hezbollah members injured. the one has called on both sides to de escalate. after 11 months old daily shelling and these days very heavy at the potential sort of why the conflict is really around the corner. and no one

can afford it. wire conflict at the moment. but with every attack by the warring sides, the regent risks falling into a wider conflict doors to jabari out to 0. they route. that sounds great to him. wrong con, he joins us from a route and, and what is the, the mood and the atmosphere lights are this morning? well as a very, very stead 11 on we've seen this over the last few days, but this is actually getting people a lot on edge. now his beloved have issued a is some very simple statement confirming that it was abraham a keel, but they are also going to be looking at how he was actually targeted. they'll be an investigation. now you also have to remember this precedent for that reaction to this of the death of hard sugar,

sugar on july 30th lead to an escalation from his beloved lot has beloved feel. the is role is trying to do is go them into a complete an old out a will they feel that israel isn't looking for any kind of diplomatic solution to best, but they now full thing hezbollah to go into a war. so his bullet now is in reaction mode, they are going to see what happens next. this is a very big blow for them. he was a very senior come on to the other a this whole just when the lead to ride one forces at that a building as well. so this is a very big blow for them. so i will see 2 reactions from as bullet coming in there and then coming hours, it'd be the public one which would be to find space is not going to stop us. but they'll be a private one looking to see what they do next. what israel does next, and i suppose hezbollah is, is face kind of with this symbol. tammy is challenge of trying to reorganize

themselves internally while also on the pressure to respond to this attack by israel as well as bullet is an active organization. it does have members, the willing to step up that have been trained. it's not one of us and lead organization is not a cult of personality and is very much imbedded within lebanese society. has bla came from the substance of us in the south. it didn't come, it wasn't in coal and enforced onto the lebanese people. so it's like people that have been contingency plans. maybe not, perhaps direct names being given for security reasons. but i think it's kind of thing that has, the was always expecting to be that you had counsel and the red one forces who are, you know, directing and taking out a lot of those big operators as well as done in the past. so they knew that they, this was always going to be a risk. the more concerned for 11 on and for his beloved is the fact that this

strike took place in the own buildings that were almost completely destroyed. this is a very different attack to the one that killed us all a rory earlier and yet he was killed in a very surgical strike as well. took out an office built, i don't face a room in a building. there wasn't a huge amount of dummies on, there's a lot of collateral damage here. and this, a lot of lebanese, a lot of analysts, jeff, suggesting that he's trying this is his road trying to force a, either a mistake or an overstretched from his bullet, which will give them an excuse to come into 11. all right, thank you very much. and ron conn and bayard let's get some more news righty. reaction now and get a sense of what's happening there with how to sell, who does not share foreseen from the detaining capital amman,

because he is ready. government has bind, i'll just, they are from reporting inside. israel is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu releasing, like a short statement saying that his roles, goal is clear and that it's actions speak for itself. it comes after these really military said the target of its era strikes to invade, who to was his bullet commander abraham. i've seen these really military is alleging that he was planning a, quote, october 7 style attacks in northern israel. but the army did not provide any proof or intelligence to back that up and its statements there also claiming that there were around 20, if his bullet members who were under ground quote, using civilians as human shields before that error strike. this is something we've heard repeatedly from these really military before in their rhetoric when it comes to israel's war on gone. so now we have heard from israel's defense minister your lawn to who said that this is a new phase of israel's war. and that's these types of military procedures and

airstrikes is something that is real is going to continue to do until its goal is completed. and that goal is something that was outlined by the premier earlier in the week when he said that there has been a 4th agenda item to the war that's been added and that is returning evacuated is really back to those northern townsend settlements. some of that had been largely evacuated by the government wants to cross border fire started on october the 8th. now these really army chief of staff has said that israel will reach its enemies far and wide no matter where they are. and anonymous official speaking to is really media had said that previously made, which was a red line, but now that is no longer the case. and within these really defensive security apparatus, they're saying that the focus has entirely shifted to the north. and the central jersey to the development is united nations security council is held in emergency meeting on the bloss that hit communication devices across lebanon.

kristen salumi has this report now from un headquarters in new york. the meeting was called in response to the destination of hezbollah as communications devices across lebanon this week, which human rights chief volk or turk said, constituted a violation of international law. these the tech's represent a new development and welfare. the communication tools become weapons. simo tenuously, exploding across the marketplace is on street corners and in homes as daily life unfolds. i'm sorry, it is that reported they dismantled, unexploded devices and universities banks and hospitals. this has unleashed widespread fear panic and hara among people in lebanon. the civilians were among the 37 dead and more than 3000 wounded. levied on blamed israel and demanded the security council would call out the perpetrators and condemn the attacks was and

how buying the isn't this terrorism. when you talk, it's a whole population in the city streets or their market slash offices. phones that while they attempt to that daily life is real, did not claim responsibility, however, and blamed hezbollah for the cross border escalation of rocket attacks, which have displaced tens of thousands of civilians on both sides. if he's a bottle, does not to be to reach for our border and back to the north, a very tiny river. with the pro magic efforts, isabel will be left. we've no choice, but to use any means within our rights to defend our citizens. and enable the about to ease of the nose to return to their homes, its remaining united states called for com. it is imperative that even as facts and merge about the latest incidence in which i reiterate, united states play no role. all parties refrain from any actions which can punch

the region into a devastating war. this was the 4th meeting on the situation in the middle east called by the security council this week council members. and you and officials a like, have expressed concern about a widening war that ultimately will lead to the death of more civilians and undermine international law. kristin salumi al jazeera, the united nations. meanwhile, any cause or is riley and is ready to strike. there is gilbert, these 13 palestinians in the southernmost city of rough or 3 children were among the dead. the attack targeted 2 houses in the midst of the area of northern rafa is there any minute tree is killed, at least for the full power steering's across the strip since early on friday tech i was zoom, has more on what's happening in the site. the city has this update from darrow paula. the security situation in guys is getting much more intense in the

course of the past couple of hours where the it's, but it only has been hitting old areas across the gaza strip. but the main focus was on the southern and little bit parts of district where 2 residential houses were destroyed early, at least 15 palestinians, what killed and there has been more concentration on targeting residential buildings. and so in the north of the territory was here in the central area, we continued hear loud explosions of the eastern side of the 3. and even though that portion of under the rocks we could, you can back is too close to that. very corey, to the situation is getting much more value because as well has been rounding up its military strikes on old promising in vehicles that have been used for transportation among palestinian gold. renee and at the same time he, i don't know great concerns about the escalation that is taking place and living on a trip precautions to a to bring pressing spite the achievable with the use of an interest to pros,

in the military defensive to include the phones and to ramp up more pressure on his beloved, which can really be a very dangerous escalation, alarm sign. if this chris could add it to the minister. my name is re, for the region for the re, for the entire region is specifically that palestinians believe that it will have the efforts to get a c spy it to you on the ground topic up as a i will do 0 series that i had a saw is ready forces outside a conducting a raid and the janine refugee camp in the north of the occupied westbank. the addison unified has news writing that tre, engage and on confrontation training forces stormed into numerous homes inside the cam. right? and they all divided westbank has been an noisy a car. and since last october, when the warring cause began as well. so spring on the program officer,

a quick break, we'll turn our attention to shoreline cuts. my load is anxious about what starts in tax hikes. they are heading to the polls in the country's 1st presidential election since the financial crisis to he is a gun. the lucky exclusive off is we'd be up to 25 percent off or a freebie and folks get ready to watch the champions of a thrilling season. between the year be leaks, asian and european 2026 will qualify as the best of the tennis will be the one move subscribe. now the

the come back, you with the alger 0 at and i from don't have a name. stories now is writing this also hit the lebanese capital. they were destroying 2 buildings in the southern, somebody and cutting at least 14 people moving 60 others wounded as well as confirmed one of its 12 minutes to come on. as every man, payne was one of those killed, he was also known as hodge up till powder and belong to the it's in each provided one forces and the united nations security council as housing emergency meeting on the explosions of communication devices across lebanon. and which has paula is blaming israel. you and human rights few folk attacks at the symbol chain is targeting of civilians without knowledge of who is in possession of the violation

of international human rights. so and now polls are on dwayne sure line, cause 1st presidential elections and sneak nomic crisis led to the collapse of its government in 2022. president. ronald with columbus single, came to power in the wake of that on sites and see who a parliamentary vote now he's wanting to retain his seat as an independent candidate. but rivals accusing the targeting poor people with i'm a fact all stairs he plans and tax hikes, but now fernandez joined us from the capital of columbus to tell us about the front runners in this race for the presidency. so we have a record, obviously number to 38 candidates for the front runners. as you mentioned, us 3, the main sort of names in the freight. we have the incumbent president on the cover cigna, the opposition need a subject frame of the us and been a sort of a, uh, not a surprise come to that, but someone who has been waiting in the wings for

a few years now under a commodity, saw michael ag, the, he's us one of the candidates for the marxist, lynn, and it's sort of grouping to those all the front runners in terms of how they are viewed. obviously, a big a missing hut is looking for a mandate, which he has said he wants another 5 years to continue the reforms, the sort of recovery of 3 longer he has, they can credit and has made that a major sending point of his campaign saying that when no one was willing to take on the country this, you will remember in 2022 that will massive protest people took to the streets. they stalled in the presidential palace, resulting in the last elective residents leading the country. and that was basically a power vacuum run of the company. cigna had been made of the prime minister during those riots and the public protest. and he stepped in to become the, into the president. and like the constitution demands of the voting parliament for the rest of that to him,

he was elected. but many people say he has no amended because of the law of general elections. he was a 4th adult to follow him. and now the opposition leader has also been in power for a long, long time. and um, he is looking and promising a change a while the a k d ken did it says that all of these guys have been the same or disabled. it's the same faces, you know, repackaged in that. yeah. and that's his alliance. the n p. p is plumbing, something new. and then so can i ask you then more about the people's liberation from this is a very interesting movement with marxist roots and their candidates, a new to come out of this and y'all can identify pronounced that correctly. but does he have, does he have a real chance of breaking through in this election? it was a few years ago if you had talked about the g d p the people's progressive front.

and that is the main policy of this, the lines, the national people, how that the under, from out of just on like a is the candidate of they would have, you know, scoffed or lost. if you said the dead candidate, you know would be right, that the sort of head of the race being one of the main contenders was things obviously that's been a ground shift here to ensure lanka and give them the success of parties. leaders who promised the sun the moon and the stars have fallen pretty much flat on their faces and left a box of the constituency. disappointed. there is a large number of people looking to its under commodities. something like a saying, look, i mean, what do we do is we've tried everyone else. we've been disappointed, and the country con for much, for the so let's give them a go. obviously, the, the party that he comes from does have a history, a history that they're very keen to sort of disassociate themselves with. also say that things have changed because they were behind 2 minutes at the uprisings

against the states in the seventy's and the eighty's a long time ago. but at the same time, now the in pieces, we are the only people that have kept our hand screen. and we are promising change, so that's been the fortunes and the shift of georgia, fortunes fall under to come out of this on ica and his team. thank you so much. we know finance is reporting to us on a very important election there. and in colombo, sure line. come, well, the 1st bought it school. so being cost in america's election is still valid. voting is giving citizens now 1st chance to choose either democratic candidate, combat harris, or a public and contented donald trump, and what 90 you. cooling a consequential race for the white house. rosa and jordan reports a good good. the early poll workers in virginia, minnesota, and south dakota needed a lot of patients on friday, the very 1st day of early in person voting. in the 2024 us presidential campaign,

the race between republican donald trump and democrat, comma le harris has generated intense public scrutiny. and like some of the can run a business, a good amount of the time. any product you can run the country. you know, cuz you did a harris supporter said the country needs a serious leader. i don't think we should have someone who is obviously crazy as president of the united states. that seems so clear to me. best and clear to me 8 years ago that seemed clear to me 4 years ago. and that seems fair to me now. 69 percent of us voters in 2020 cast their ballots. early on friday, people gave the usual reasons for showing up ahead of the official election day of november. 5th, scheduling conflicts, travel care giving duties. however trumpet keeps telling voters that if harris wins the election has been tampered with, especially the way the chief that to has voters worry. i'm also

encouraging people to vote early to avoid potential um, disruption on election day or in person voting by a certain party who seems to be interested in, in the whole watching to the point of intimidation. and so we're, we're familiar with that and we were one. in fact, our co workers in arizona must scrub registration list for in eligible voters. a move opponents call an act of suppression. while in the battle ground state of georgia, which faced fraud accusations in 2020, the republican controlled elections board says nearly $7000000.00 must be counted by hand. local officials say changing the rules this late will create chaos on election day. the idea that you're not going to listen to the individuals that are charge with conduct and elections is absurd to meet with the board said it's decision is final. every time you make

a statement that this could be against the law, you are welcoming lawsuits. lawsuit that the ballots cast early won't be tallied until after the polls closed on november 5th. that means the early show of voting. enthusiasm is just that a show, russell and jordan elders era as well. now democratic candidate couple hours has held a riley and george's capital atlanta. she focused on one of this is most contentious issues which is reproductive rights festival has one not only so here was the vice president really, really into an issue that has become a comb. the start of that presidential campaign. that is the issue of reproductive reading. now this was not stopped me, she was meant to be making. this was added by her campaign, a response to a new story that has come out about the depths of 2 women here in georgia at this state as some of the more restrictive abortion laws in the country. one story,

a lady called kenzie miller, so kind of bush and pale and she died. she was afraid to go to the hospital because she said being child another a 20 a year old. i'm the time in a mother. she took an abortion which she saw us for both carolina because she found out about our pregnancy after the time of the past, where she could have gotten a version. she suffered severe complications, have a 20 hours, was in, i can always in pain to develop such this organ faded. and there was a real anger here and a real sadness that this could happen is what the vice president have to say. amber waited. 20 hours 20 hours. excruciating hours until finally, she was in enough physical distress that her doctors thought they would be okay to treat her.

but it was too late and she died of substance. cool. what kind of the, how this is really doing here is try, it seems hard. donald trump, directly. that was a portion restrictions, in fact the renting in the background says one of the 3 women lives on the h from abortion time. she says that if she is elected into office, she will restore reproductive freedoms to old women in the country in the matter of where they live. tommy trump, for his boss, says all he did was return the power to the states. phil about which is the era, atlanta, georgia, is that a pro, now the country is the kind of state of emergency in parts of the country after a wave of forest fires, crops have been destroyed, and 5 fighters have found it difficult to bring the flames under control by on a sanchez reports from lima. amazon is burning across south america. thousands of hector's, of wild life,

consumed by the fleas between nearly every region has been affected. firefighters overwhelmed the lack of equipment to fight the blazes. people losing their animals and crops are desperately helping them. they say the situation is out of control via we put the fires out and the next day big mice again. we are leaving because we are very tired. the government has sent helicopters to drop water tents on the worst affected spots, but proceed in the know a lot of their knowledge is the government is in equipped that up on the look at the name of this with everything we have was supposing to fight the fires, perhaps we don't have enough to provide assistance at the national level because the logistics of our armed forces and police are really poor. and we have to recognize that the critics labeled a lot of the has done too little too late. calling for a state of emergency,

only on wednesday, she focused on political infighting. congress denied her permission to go to the un general assembly next week, while the police has continued to expand a psychological pre, i'm assuming some of your experts say, well, fires are common. this time of the year, a traditional practice as a burning fields to prepare them and for the next harvest ignite, the disaster cycle. well, the name of we do not have a cultural fire prevention because it does not exist. many people believe that smoke generates ring, yet it's the other way around. it inhibits ring. and this happens every year. but it falls on deaf is because the authorities are preoccupied with other things. the amazon has been destroyed by illegals, mining deforestation, and farming all of which interrupt the cycle that produces rain. as a result, the natural process of putting out the fire sticks much longer, posting a much higher risk to the environment. and the indigenous population in the forest

. officials say there are thousands of hotspots, potential fires about to be ignited by the high temperature and winds. and while the rains take longer to come, the destruction is likely to grow. again a center. so just see dudley ma, emergency services, and it's the rescuing of stranded people as flood waters rise in the north helicopter teams blocked residence roof tops off to the broke. it's bangs the national, find a palm and sizes. teams have carried out at least 500 rescue operations in recent days. and you education measure is dividing opinion in south africa, west african speaking group say sections of the new role will erode that language and culture. but the government is saying the measures will make education more accessible to many more children. who are latasha reports on those from century and,

or these children are singing in the south african language called africans. it's a mixture of dutch, german and native quayside languages which developed in the 17th century during the colonial. yes. a new lost, his parents and school governing bodies will no longer have a final stay in what language they children are to attend or who gets admitted into public schools. i will put my child into school where my child is comfortable with this language, with the same violin. what i'll say better for me, and it's my state, the basic education laws amendment at the education department, the final say in language and admission policies. when a pocket ended in 1994 black parents were allowed to send the children to be defended previously white only schools. more than 50 years later, some of the schools teach subjects only in afrikaans. a language many children can speak a language, some sort advocates.
