that's bringing andy gallagher in washington for his and he has covered haiti extensively. andy, hey, t requesting foreign military assistance. us troops, un peacekeepers. washington says it's highly unlikely. what about the united nations? well, i, i don't think it's likely that either of these bodies will respond at the moment because my 1st response. so who is making this request that doesn't appear to be anyone in charge in haiti right now. there at least 3 different names of 3 senior politicians, all claiming to be the new president or at least a new felon president. until there are some elections going on, so it doesn't surprise me that neither the us nor the un is likely to respond at this point in time. remember the united nations, a troops that were brought in that left in 2017, they weren't particularly popular while they were there. but meanwhile, on the streets of puerto prince on, i'm being told that not only all people gathering outside the u. s embassy to try and flee the country, but they're also buying provisions because at the moment, there are all sorts of

and let's bring in andy gallagher, who's covered haiti expensively. he joins us live from washington. andy, haiti requesting foreign military assistance. us troops, un peacekeepers, the u. s. has said it's highly unlikely. what about the united nations? while my 1st responds to the request coming from the haitian government was well, who's making this request because no one appears to be in charge. at this moment in time. you mentioned in the run up to monies package the 3 different names of 3 different people, split loyalties among various politicians, backing various other politicians. so it's not surprising to me perhaps of the u. s . doesn't want to get involved. busy at this point in time, the u. n. of course pulled out back in 2017. they were never a force that was like very much in haiti, certainly when i was there when the un, we're also there. so it's not perhaps surprising that the un all the u. s. don't want to get involved in this point in time. meanwhile, on the street support a prince, i'm told that people are heading to suit markets gath

that's got the latest now with andy gallagher who joined his life from miami and the new details emerging about shipping. on wes's fascination the plot literally thickens the haitian authority saying at 28 people at least were responsible for this. the fascination of your party say at least 2 dozen of them, what columbia nationals to the americans of haitian descent. now there are some reports coming out that claim. these men actually flew into the dominican republic maybe 3 months ago to prepare for this alleged assassination gathering weapons and phones and then crossed over into the border. but yesterday i was reporting on some of the videos i've been seeing on social media that couldn't be verified. but now that i see the pictures of the suspected assassins, it looks like they were the same men. they were being captured by normal haitians and paraded around the street. some of them were bloody and battered, but they were turned over to the police. so outside the police station, there were scenes of anger yesterday, but we're really no close to finding out what the motive is behind thi

so that's an update from andy gallagher in miami, on the situation in haiti. we've also got kim, i'm with us, who is a journalist at the haiti, liberty newspaper on scott from new york, and i came in for him or not. that's a heck of a job to take on right now, isn't it? to be the leader of haiti, which already had so many problems and now as to deal with still the investigation of an assassinated president. hello kim, can you hear me? it's come out here and uh huh. no, no, i hear you. oh, come out. i just turned it until in to be a question. ok, that's. so i'll ask you again. i was just pointing out the fact that you know injure him or not. this is quite a job for anyone to be taking right now to be the leader of haiti. which already had plenty of problems even before this the fascination. yes, it's for sure. but yeah, our sense is that the hungry who is a long time ally of the united states has been turned to because of his pay full service in the past. the government he's put together is really i could say coalition government of both the jovan l sector the

first, let's talk to andy gallagher, who of course, has reported extensively from haiti. he's joining us from miami andi, so many questions remain unanswered. but are you learning anything new or more about who the suspects are and what the motivation was in the nation? i mean, not really. we have pretty much the same details we've had over the last few hours . the 4 of these alleged assassins have been killed to capture the chief of police in haiti says there are possibly more people still on the run. but i think the key point to focus on right now is that that seems to be a power struggle between claude henri and another of the deputy prime ministers about who's in charge. that's really the last thing that haitians need right now. they need the government to take a clear path. clearly pick someone who is in charge to try and keep the state of com. that is happening right now in port prints because people are still hunker down in their homes. this kind of a power struggle is not really helping the situation at the moment. constitutionally, the head of the supreme court sh

where the security council has been discussing the situation in haiti, but 1st let's talk to andy gallagher and you reported extensively from haiti, and he's joining us from miami. do you have an update for us on the investigation? and what is the state of play right now in haiti? while i'm hearing in the last hour or so from the haitian police that i have in fact killed 7 of these laced assassins and captured 6 more. and in fact, this footage, coming through now from puerto prints that appears to show, to the suspected men being loaded into the back of a tow truck looking at them. they definitely don't look like they are haitian, they could be hispanic men, which would reinforce the stories were getting out of haiti that these were foreigners involved in this fascination of job. now i'm always in the early hours of wednesday morning. forensic experts are there at the home of jeff. no, marie sees body has been moved to a morgue. but there is political instability even more than that was before shop. nobody's was assassinated on wednesday because 2 of the deputy prime ministers and now argui

let's get more from andy gallagher, joining us from miami and he so again, so many questions remain unanswered. do you have any news detail for us about the assassination and who is behind us? i mean, those are the central questions for the investigation that is going forward and it appears at the moment they don't know what the motive is and they don't know what they're calling or who they're calling the mastermind behind. all this is what we do know is that at least 2 dozen of these alleged assassins all colombian nationals, to others are americans. the patient descent who lived here in florida there. and there's no indication that they were had any kind of military background, but at least 6 of the colombians is set to be ex, armed forces from the nation. so colombia is helping with that investigation. but at the moment in haiti, it seems like any anger there is, and there's always a fair amount of anger in the nation, like haiti is being directed towards the fact that these alleged assassins were foreigners. we've seen those social media posts of ordinary haitian citizens rounding these me

and now said to be in a secure location, and he thank you very much for that andy gallagher with the latest from miami and fill a head on al jazeera battling to contain the spike in corporate 19 infection. south korea rates has restrictions in the capital with highest level and the future of cinema will be at the cannes film festival to meet the youngsters, helping to make an impact on the big screen. ah . now the potential for flooding in japan is still there because the ground is so wet and this certainly clad evidencing what is still the seasonal rain. but i think it will be it in a week or next day or so. there are orange tops, which is where it's at it's heavy on there. where at the far west of japan, the fall line back is into china. and this is where we've seen flash flooding recently, and i think we might see more again as that drift slowly eastward. and also as though that leaves everything south of the yangtze, relatively dry fatty shumate, but mostly dry the hong kong. not entirely in that picture, daddy, thunderstorms and they become very active for the sas. and that's th

we've got andy gallagher, reporting from miami on this one if nothing else. and it shows that there is no peace in haiti even at and it's somber event like this. it's still mod by violence . yeah, i think that's a great point. i think there were many people who have thought this might be a moment that brought the nation together, but clearly that is not the case. people in k patient are very suspicious of those from port of prints. in fact, i've been hearing reports, the chief of police from puerto prince, attended those services people in the crowd where were yelling assassin, because they know in k patient, you know, i'm always is from, there were members of the security detail of you have no more. we weren't injured and even some police officers have been arrested in that ongoing investigation into his assassination on july the 7th. so at those fractures that were already there, that tenuous nature of this entire nation just being exposed again in a moment that should be peaceful and serene if you like. so what happens now and who's really in charge for th

let's speak to andy gallagher now who joins us live now from little haiti in miami. it does seem that obviously people certainly around the haiti and probably within it too worried about what might happen next, the instability. so what do we know about the situation on the ground? well when i speak to my contacts and porter print, say say it's pretty quiet. the people are kind of hunkering down in the homes listening to the radio and really bracing themselves was my next? remember, this is a very young democracy. only about 35 years old. job now, maurice has been accused of trying to solidify his powers staying in office long after he should have left according to his critics. but this political vacuum right now is potentially very dangerous for the nation of haiti. let's see how the last 2 hours have unfolded the the home of the haitian president job. now luis is now sealed off the scene. fascination that shocked the international community. the nation's deputy prime minister says, armed men speaking english and spanish storm the house in the early hours of wednesda

the capital porter prince and shot him dead. janelle maurice was 53 years old as talk now to andy gallagher joins us from miami. first of all, let's start with what you're hearing and the from haiti. how calm is the situation there now? while i'm hearing reports from my contacts and porter printed the streets, there are pretty quiet at the moment. people essentially hunkering down waiting for news, but essentially this political vacuum is extremely dangerous. we know from haiti's past when things like this happened, violence tends to come very quickly, despite the fact that the deputy prime minister has declared a state of emergency that doesn't really mean much for the normal people of haiti. we know there's gangs already roaming the streets for the past year or so. this is potentially, you know, something that will cause a slide into violence very quickly. we've certainly seen that in the past and there are no obvious successes right now. there's, you know, movies. no real structures put in place to quickly replace them. and of course the, someone that constitutionally his critics, they s

washington post newspaper that he and henry had met privately to resolve the dispute was talk to andy gallagher in miami. so who's running in the country at the moment? while overseas, since the fascination of jeff now movies on july, the 7th for has been this battle between these 2 prime ministers. but it now seems to have been settled in our l on re will now take over claud. josie had assumed that role which cause a lot of confusion in the country that really needs to be a member. i think the deciding factor in all this is that a core group of international countries back to r l on rate. now that may bring some sol as to the people of haiti, or in a very precarious situation since the assassination of jeff. no worries, but we're still waiting for free and fair elections because remember, but we had stayed in office a year after he showed up because they couldn't get elections up and running. that's really what needs to happen. the date for that is late in the fall. perhaps september, but again, all the elections i've seen there over the past few years have been very problematic, but at least

well, let's talk to andy gallagher was live 1st in miami and the who's actually in charge of the country now. well, our l on re is now in charge. remember, this is the man that you have now, but he's a point to didn't swear written days before. the fascination on july, the 7. so this is sensually and for now this political battle that was going on between the close, joseph and r l i read and it wasn't just those 2, there was some other people vying for position as well. so that for now, i think will help the security situation, but it's important to remember they are trying to form an interim government to head towards the next democratic elections, which they hope to hold towards the end of the year. that is crucial because there have been no elections in a t since 2019 or, or elections that they tried to put on in 2019 that fail. so this is a step i think, in the right direction. but the big challenge will be having democratic elections and then being seen by the populace as fair and free because there were always issues with elections in that country. but i think people in haiti worri

let's find out more and bring an anti gallagher who's joining us from miami andi. what more hearing about this assassination? well, it seems like an all gang gotten to job. now movie says home in the early hours of wednesday morning. there were some reports that some of these men spoke spanish. some of them were dressed as drug enforcement agency agents, which are us agents. and that the 1st lady was shot, an injured she's now in the hospital shop. now movies was been, has been ruling by decree and 80 since about 2019. that's something that's been very frustrating for people in haiti that there are no elections over the past. couple of years for various different reasons, but the critics of job now my, we say that he was starting to cement power. they were starting to see signs that he was a going back in haiti's history, where people like devali a rule in the country and were auto crowds. so over the last year or so there's been an increase in gang violence in particular, st. protests there, of course, are pretty commonplace because people aren't so happy with the

and he gallagher is long for us in washington dc. so andy, i mean, this is a bit of a balancing act for president joe biden. isn't it? there was the request for troops, but he's sending a delegation. yeah, i mean, really what the u. s. is focusing on right now is trying to lend some legitimacy to any investigation that is going to take place over the death of job know movies. who was assassinated in the early hours of wednesday morning. that's about as much as i can do at the moment that request for us troops from the haitian government. my 1st reaction was well, who is the haitian government right now? because there's so much political in fighting over this vacuum created by the death of the president. and there are a great concerns from ordinary haitians who are basically hunkering down in the homes right now waiting for news. as there is no real leadership and not countries of the u. s. off sending a delegation from the f b i from the department of homeland security to try and get to the bottom of who was behind this assassination. but th

inside his home. several foreigners are under arrest. murder and gallagher was followed developments from miami and joins been alive. andy, so now sworn in audio only faces some huge challenges he does, i mean this was a very public display of unity after 2 weeks of confusion workload closures, if appeared to be in charge. there were various people talking about who should be in charge following the assassination of the job. now, bowie. so now what we have as a prime minister, who's already put his cabinet together with one real goal in mind, did not is to take a tea to new elections. remember, i haven't been elections in a t since 2017. that sort of now, but we was elected the elections in 2019 was so problematic that they basically fell to pieces. so this is a certainly from the international communities point of view, the necessary next step for this impoverished nation. ordinary haitians have been extremely scared over the past couple of weeks. not knowing what will happen next. now the goal is to whole free and fair elections, something that could be easier said than done. anyhow, it's a point and being viewed, i wa
