night and also knowing our son. and i can say with confidence that he will never admit his guilt. because 1st of all, he has not taken part in mass disturbances has never organized metal. he says, you call cuz you're going use all your son's wells. please stand up and help you because they will kill him. they will tell him the 26 year old bela lucian, came in to lucca shingles crosshairs for his work as the editor of the popular anti government's social media channel. next to her. in his alleged confession, to save each said she helped organize mass protests after lucre shinkel claim victory. in last year the disputed presidential election, his supporters are convinced his confession was made under duress. the same goes for this supposed confession from practice age, his girlfriend, sophia pagan, in a video that emerged tuesday. they were both arrested on sunday after their flight from athens to vilnius was intercepted by

a bela lucy and military jet and forced to land in minutes. the incident spark, international outrage. b, you slapped sanctions on min check and the u. s. is considering doing the same bella ruffian leader, alexander lucas shinkel, lashed out in response. cut me progress you had ordered last week predicts this is our ill wishers from outside the country. and from inside the country changed their methods of attack on the state. and you put it to you. they have cross many red lines and have abandoned common sense and human morals. each of those in for this is not information warfare anymore that you but this is modern hybrid warfare. why not? we must do everything to prevent it from becoming a real war. it at a slow good actually was shank or denies. the plane was diverted in order to arrest practice savage, claiming the move was a necessary response to a bomb threat. now there belushi and opposition,

including leaders. we atlanta to turn of sky or say they're preparing to stage new protest and hoping international pressure will help keep pressure. savage safety. that's bringing pablo lunk and now he's visiting fellow therapy and council on foreign relations. and a former political analyst for the bell and foreign ministry. someone who used to work for the division government. how surprised are you by the shank of defiance today? little does is any putting question. i think that everything that we for that was impossible, every time during the political crisis has proved that it is become impossible again. so yeah, i was surprised by why, by what happened last. suddenly you have said that, look, i think us defiance is proof that he's under more pressure than ever and that he's effectively backed himself into a corner. how so? yeah,

he has caught the western one culture of the elections here, his ill called international ally, jonah litter, he's under pressure from inside was he's not only legitimate internationally, but also internally. so people are protesting, even if we don't see those processing stories, the pro, this move is very, very high. and also he's under pressure from moscow, which wants to get more control over over the country and look on composing this. so the situation is, is very hard to him. so is put in a, not a staunch ally of lucas and co we should understand that not only beller is, depends on russia, but also russia depends on valerie, because they invested more money in the regime and they, they, they're supporting each other. but once more control and look, chunk of wants to keep is absolute power. so there rhetorically support each other . what, what is happening under the blanket is what's important. russia wants to have to

dim on, applies the power, embellish to out infrastructure for political influence, till now we don't have any political structure, no political body that can be supported by russia. and this means that if lucas would have been always thrown, you read the political crisis. that would mean that russia will lose much influence . so that's why they are supporting him because they, they depend on him. but the same way they are trying to decrease this dependence and to form some what his own lives that they can influencing and to play they are but looking at poses this strategy. so let's look a european side the you have sanctions that sank as regime for years. it clearly hasn't called him is the you partly to blame for the situation because it has been tough enough on him not for you to know for sure. no. the problem is,

of course, both returning the gym and you can blame anyone because of that. if we talk about the possibility to influence that we should understand that independently or what strategy we play engagement or sanctioning the regime. and they showed that they don't work when location and that's why you relations has passed through different periods, both of engagement and sanctions. and the engagement period always. and this with the presidential election was not because the you engaged poorly. no. because after the elections, you always see pro, this movement in the country, and lucretia wants to have control to keep the people and you ask you how to react . and this puts the nouns to this engagement policy. and once again, the,

you have to come back to function. all it is and it happened. there were several hours like that in the election. so after a 2020, we are now again on the function code. so rama credit services, parent said they believe their son is being mistreated. some isn't alleged torture . do you think they could be right? look at the it is of course speculation. we can know what we for is the video. and it looks very disturbing. and understanding that what happened in bella is what is happening in ballard right now that people are portrait in prisons and when will shoot in prisons, so we can guess that the they can be true, but i don't have any information that can prove it. repeat and again that the video doesn't look fine. pablo lunk and busy fellow be repeat council on foreign relations. thank you very much for explanation. q tunnel to take

a look at some of the other stories making headlines at this job. if people have been killed in a mouse shooting and san jose, california authorities say a man believes to be a transport worker opened fire at a city rail yard. are the employees were among the victims suspect dive? dozens of people are missing a north west nigeria. after an overloaded boat ferrying 200 passengers sent flank and then the river, the bows had left central the state and was heading to kevin state when it's split and sank. officials said, rescue operation is on the way so far. only 40 survivors and one dead body have been recovered. us secretary of state antony blinking has how told with egyptian presidents up to us on top of the seats in the wake of the israel, gaza conflict. they discussed last week's sci fi and a possible long term solution to hostilities sector, blinking travel. jordan,

after the meeting, as part of the middle east in a historic ruling court in the netherlands, has ordered the all company royal dutch shell to reduce its carbon emissions by 45 percent. by the year 2030 in her statements jobs. that shell is responsible for its own carbon emissions and those supplies, the case was brought to court by moving by mental computing more than $17000.00 citizens. the 1st time the company has been legally obliged to line its policies with their parents. climate. of course, the vote they could take a legal action against other energy companies around the world shall says it already has plans to drastically reduce its its emissions. and we'll consider appealing the case. you know, the vaccine, the verdict is disappointing. we are working hard to become a net 0 energy company by 2050 thousands of people in shell are working hard on

that every day. we are investing billions in that i got the new and the fact that now although we are moving in the right direction, we're being asked to speed this up. we will have to study this and see what options we have for doing this. in the meantime, we are considering whether to appeal or not but the more this i'm not john peter finn, he's the director of the stock home environment institute climate policy program in the us and joined us from seattle in the us. peter, you played actually a role in this case and a letter to the court. you wrote that restricting shells. oil and gas production would help reduce global carbon emissions. how significant exactly a contribution would that be in terms of global c o. 2 emissions? it's significant because of how important shell is as a oil and gas producer. as you mentioned, they are already making strides to the carbon, but they're not going fast enough. and so what this ruling does is it says that day

and every other producer needs to go faster because the producers do have the skill company like shell do have the skills to help bring about the low carbon energy transition. and that's what they should be doing, and they'd be required to do that as in this room. but how much of a difference will it make? we have to look at those specific numbers and how much shell produces, but o l and gas production needs to wind down globally to meet the goals at the paris climate agreements and 45 percent reduction in the next decade, as you said, is in line with those targets, so what the court ruling feathers shall not, you know, they can't do that alone of course, but that doesn't absolve them from doing their part. and so shell essentially argued in the proceedings that if it doesn't produce the or someone else will, isn't that a valid argument?

no, it's not about our. and that's been one of the main subjects of my research. over the last few years, i work on oil and gas and climate and economic literature is very clear on the point that if you stop producing oil in one part of the world, not all of that oil gets produced by another producer. there is an effect on overall consumption. so that was the subject of my letter to the court. the court clearly agreed with that they rejected that idea of what they called perfect substitution. and i hope that that helps create a precedent for other cases around the world. do you think this will mean that the price of petroleum products will go up for consumers? i don't know any significant amount. i mean, this ruling is saying that shell essentially need to wind down in orland got production pretty quickly over the next few years over the next decade. and they

can put that capital and not innovation into other parts of their business. other parts of the energy transition and energy challenge. so i don't see any downside for consumers on this, the only outside because everybody needs help the air and a livable climate. and this ruling me in but shell will have to do their part in helping to make that future realize peter ericsson, the director of the stock environment institute climate policy program in the us. thank you for your insights. thank you. syrian stop in voting in the presidential election, that's all but certain to hand, the 4th time to the shower. la todd. it's the 2nd the election since the start of a civil war 10 years ago. that's killed and displaced hundreds of thousands of people. the pole has been widely dismissed as a sham president. the thought is facing too little known challenges and voting has been greatly restricted a reduced celebrated pass the window

and on the surface it looks like just another election. but few here, i doubt about who will be the winner on july we came here today because this is about our future. we came to say that we are free to choose who represents us. so we can fill this beautiful country together, thought anything like the opposition and western powers. according the elections of foss. the man seemed by many outside of syria as a brutal dictator, is defined to international critics. he had this response. mobilization we've seen in recent weeks is a clear response to west and criticism of the elections. i say to the west, you opinions have serial value and you are worth a 10 times less. in reality,

not many voices will be heard. only residence of areas under government control can vote in the country that has the largest number of displays, people in the world. those in rebels help districts are excluded. and the autonomy is, could, is regions in the north and not participating the, instead in rebel hill, even if this is what they made up the election. a massive turn out against a sat here. they see him as a war criminal. and no one would ever accept his rule again. and i don't, that's just name the soda 30th day 10 years after the syrian revolution, we've come out to tell the criminal syrian regime. and the merger is russian said that the elections are illegitimate. lashonda would have god willing, bashar assad will face a trial, and instead of ruling,

he will end up in the dustbin of history. and all that they, kate, the syrian war has left nearly half a 1000000 people dead. and half the countries population displaced by sharla sat. this is not the victory, but it's a victory paid for with tremendous suffering. for some analysis on this that talks about a shell she's head of the middle east of is not the german political thing to kindly both on they should bend beyond the propaganda. how much support is there really for charlotte started in the country. well, they've heard it has displaced half of the population anyway, and he also was very restricted only to unknown competitive. and then all this propaganda overkill. that tells us something not even believe that he's popular enough to win among his very reduced audience. and therefore, it's very difficult to judge whether he has an audience or at all. but what we have

thing today around the show. but there are no surprises looking that he will definitely win this election really. exactly. and therefore, i find it very surprising in all the immature, if you see only his picture, the intelligence services, the 4th division of the army, they have all put up posters on their own thing. our only choice is a chart clear here. when i hit invested in this campaign, while the population go hungry and carving, i didn't need a few minutes or so. i saw his promise to use his next term after the so called elections to rebuild the country. but he can't do that on his own who will help them. he already promised earlier that here reconstruct the can see and you're in citizens have been paying every construction tax for years now. however, they haven't seen this material license something for the people he has not

invested in the 80 economy. and therefore it's very difficult to see what would happen if reconstruction money would flow. where would it go? why should we believe that it would be disturbed to rebuild the country, to build housing, or the other me saw has crushed opposition with the help of russia and iran. how much does his own personal faith depend on those allies and how reliable is best support? he completely depends on that. he wouldn't have the one work. he wouldn't have won the world without them bad. he doesn't want to play by this group. and this has been a hindrance for him. it has been a hindrance. oppression moved with the political process. so even though he's completely dependent, they only support him for winning the war. and they have not shown any intention to support him in the construction. and they are not, and the new military is do you think the western governments approach to syria

needs to change? well, it could change, but i think we don't have any indication that it would prove anything in syria because the reconstruction depends office will to do it. and we don't have any examples that he started, even though he could easily have done. so. why should we believe that a western change, of course, with health? on the contrary, i mean your military and 8, as well as any other health has to call the principal do no harm and by sending money to his correct and really mother as we would possibly thought you're right. so half of serious population has been displaced by the wall. millions of fled the country. to what extent has that changed the structure experience, the size it has changed, we can see the numbers. even those statistics are obviously just the 1st of those who have our population and their for the democratic demographic balance has changed to the favor of minority says the alibi,

the christian communities. but i think more relevant is how he has an area of the country from people he deemed as in loyal, empty, particularly the surroundings masters. and i think that it changes a lot, but we'll see demographic change and in northern areas were occurring. have been to say said era have been to say so the demographic changes to be something that will hold the serious life for years to come back to show them that the germans hundreds, a bird foundation. thank you. thank you very much. here is a most new stories in brief. molly's in for president bind da prime minister mocks one, a resigned on wednesday to being arrested by the military. earlier this week, they've been accused of trying to sabotage the process to steal west african states

back to the building go following a tune in august for us the huge council, as called for the immediate release of all detained officials, to south africa. the former president jacob zoom, i have pleaded not guilty to corruption charges relating to a $1000000000.00. i'm still dating back to the late 990 zoom. as accused of accepting annual payments on the french arms manufacturer in return to the states. he granted the company protection from students, so that hasn't been done. 3 people have been arrested in northern italy, in connection with a cable car crash that killed 14 people. investigators have accused them of deliberately disabling the gondolas emergency break. the incident happens in the italian 8 alps overlooking lago majority on me. last year, almost $23000.00 migrants from north africa, reached the canary islands and thousands more arrived in the last few months. but

because spain doesn't move them to the mainland campaign is say, the island has become a migrant prison. a court has now overturned that policy to w's young phillips shots reports from con camera. they are not looking for drugs or counterfeit cigarettes. they are checking for people, african migrants trying to get from grand cannady harbor to the spanish mainland. they are looking for young men like this one caught on camera by a hub. i work a truck drive our f. i l. make some final checks and says it was just a few weeks ago that you phone stole waste on barge to way here and to more work for the back of us had broken down. i had to call my boss because lead broke in this. see if i had had the refrigeration system on that, not, then they would have arrived frozen today. the stowaway had already made it from northern africa to the canaries. it's less than 100 kilometers

from the african coast to the e u. but most of the 10s of thousands who take that route one to go further to the spanish mainland, more than 1000 kilometers further, not the spanish, i'm sorry to have done all they can to prevent that route be coming in, establish one, many migrants stuck on the canaries are limbo, son, risk their lives to leave. it takes about 2 days to get from here to the spanish mainland, a long time to hide underneath a truck or inside the container in the dark. not knowing how long the air will last for experts ward that people die on the roots. but those involved know the red. there is the option of a less dangerous journey. people smugglers off a fake id and a plane ticket. authorities recently busted a major network operating from hairdresser on southern run, canada, trying to speak with the police about this. it's frustrating,

just before the interview with the local spokeswoman effectively call that off the spanish interior ministry told her not to answer my most interesting questions. ma'am, tell ya, here on the right is used to official unhelpful unless she authorize advice to migrants in front of the police station, helping them to fill out for me, i get no head from the government. they are just stuck into big centers on the island. of course they turn to people who say they can help for money. it starts at $700.00 euros, but i've heard of one person paying $3000.00. this legal ruling will upset people's smugglers and the spanish government. it says preventing migrants from leaving the canary from mainland spain is not allowed done yet. n c b, one case where the uncle makita, you cannot simply know who the region into a prison card has made that absolutely clear and an expedited hearing. the judge at

the police have locking them migrant. the ruling should reduce the number of young men risking their lives on trucks just to get from one part of spain to another. stargazers across the pacific rim have been enjoying a heavenly sheets. the 1st total lunar eclipse for 2 years. this was the view from sydney, how the bridge, the earth blocking light from the sun onto the moon. during a ras, super block, know that trauma, se is a once in a decade side lead you now with the view from california as griffith observatory, guys are a little bit cloud the the me
