ALJAZAM News June 22, 2024

Crimea. We have the 40 million man playing a starring role. We have more coming up. Recording 107,000, 500 refugees and migrant arrivals in july. Thats the most ever in the single month, and triple detected in the same area last year. 49 people are believed to have suffocated while in the hull of a vessel trying to reach europe. Financial assistance to greece to help it cope with huge numbers arriving to the country. Al jazeeras jonah hull is there. If this is a promised land, then for many its proven to be a false one. Every day they come. Sometimes in their hundreds. Refugees and those seeking work. Crossing the waters from turkey. And every day they wait for paperwork that allows them to stay or move on to other parts of europe. There is little policy here. Other people have been waiting much longer. 23 days. Nobody has helped you in that time . I want to go to germany. Why, what do you think youll find in germany . I think my future is there. We have some survival kits. Some hygiene kits. Baby kits. Do you feel that the local authorities are in control . Basically theyre tired. You can control something that is 100 people. Things have been worse. Theyre exclusively syrians on board. For many nationalities who are not allowed on board like those who are living rough on a beach in the center of town very little has changed. A group of africans from cameroon, nigeria and congo say theyre being discriminated against. Were hungry, and were tired, and wevewe have everybody mere. That is horrible. You think that is specifically because youre africans . They may not say, but what i see, they give them the attention. You yourself should know its because were africans. They may feel safe far from the conflict that they fled. There are many out on boats looking for those in trouble on sea. Weve been looking for four days now looking for migrants in distress. Let me show you what would happen if this boat would rescue some. We have Doctors Without Borders making preparation. Perhaps there is room for a few hundred in the back of our boat. They could be transported to southern italy, not in any great comfort, it has to be said, but under much safer conditions than otherwise attempting this great sea. Now we havent seen any migrant boats in distress in the last four days. That must have a lot to do with the fact that the weather has been fairly shoppy. The waves have been quite big, and these have been very bearlous conditions. Its not just greece. Experiencing an influx of refugees and migrants. And the u. N. Wants all european states to do their share in sheltering them. Germany for one is expecting the number of people trying to seek asylum in their country to be much higher than previously estimated. Lets take a look at the numbers. Reports that there would be 750,000 applications this year. That is up from the up from the priestess mate. Thats more than double the number from german last year. Last year was second taking 81,000 while italy and france both took 64,000. Well, with me now is a british member of the European Parliament who has been keeping a close high on this subject and situation. Very warm welcome to the program. This suspect in britain has become toxin, why . Well, it has been toxic in every generation. Its single toxic in the United Kingdom. You have very small numbers relatively between 3,000 and 5,000 migrants from calais. Thats a tiny number compared to the 170,000 migrants that have come into europe just this year. So its a tiny number, but it illustrates the toxicity of the issue that this is bound up with race and deference. It is bound up with politics of each member state. What you have are pop has parties and now many years ago that wasnt the case. Far right parties, po populous parties, now you have a much worse political situation in every Single Member state of the European Union. What this produces is small number of migrants producing worse headlines than ever before. In one example 1992 the European Union was facing a bigger refugee crisis from the kurds, sri lanka, former yugoslavia. But today because of the mediterranean, because of the situation of austerity mixed with those politics we have a worse situation. Weve been talking some time about proper burden sharing. We can see that germany for lots of Different Reasons fakes in more migrants. Do you think that were looking at a place where they start to even those up a little bit . I chair the parliament committee. I think its far too little too late for the Member States of the european commission, the parliament are quite progressive, but the individual Member States have assets to do something in the mediterranean, they have assets to do something to do something and report costs to have Refugee Resettlement relocation. Theyre not doing enough. Theyre not doing enough because they dont feel that they have a mandate from the people in those countries. People have sympathy, but they dont have enough sympathy to make things happen. Ill give you an example. You mentioned germany and sweden doing a lot, but other countries dont do that much. France is not taking a nevada enough load from italy and greece. Now greece has a huge austerity problem, and yes its taking a huge burden. Now is the European Union really doing enough . I say no. So does the European Union need to exercise that mandate and take that decision away and say okay, enough. This is what is going to happen. You have to dig another your domestic politics to some dreg and get on with it. You about it cant take it away. Theyre three parts of the European Union. We have to do it together. We have to see sense and share. I think the deal done in calais is a sign of some progress, but we need to fight for progress because we cant let the migrants down. We cant see the suffering. And there is courttive solution in the European Union. We cant look at other countries in the face if we dont take our share and do our bit in the European Union for syria, libya and other countries. We need to do that and get on with it. Thank you very much for joining us. Thank you. Now thai police have released security video of the man they believe is responsible for the bombing at a bangkok shrine killing 22 and injured about 100 others. The countrys Prime Minister has called for calm after another bomb went off just less than 4 hours later. Veronica pebroza has more for us. Picking up the pieces. This is an area that has seen political conflict before, but nothing like this. Dozens of people were killed here on monday, among them victories from malaysia, china, hong kong and singapore. Many more were injured. It was an attack apparently designed to kill as many people as possible. And the highprofile target, the shrine. The government acting as security for millions of tourists. In our country there are individuals or groups of individuals seeking to destroy the country. The attempts might have been politically motivated, targeting the economy, tourism or for whatever reason. The government will work to find these perpetrators and bring justice on any networks involved as soon as possible. Thai authorities have now released pictures of the man they believe to be the main suspect behind the bombing. Wearing a yellow tshirt she is shown wearing a backpack to the shrine. Later on hes scene leaving the shrine without the backpack. A manhunt is underway. This dash cam moment shows the moment the bomb went off. Five kilograms of hig highgrade equipment. Now its asking the country to unite and stay come. We would like to once again. Look what happened after this. The Thai Government will do our best that everyone is well looked after. But with within an hour of that speech this happened at the main pier for river transport. The grenade landed in the water, and no one was injured. Things are slowly getting back to normal at the shrine. This is as close as we can get to the shrine itself. But we have seen forensic teams arrive as they try to get to the bottom of how and why this brutal attack happened. Thai authorities wont say how soon theyll be able to announce the answers to their investigation. Sri lankas former president fails to make a comeback. Were looking at a 30yearold battlefield made safe. Explode ordinance is one reason why afghanistan is the most dangerous place in the world to be a humanitarian worker. We hear from athletic lends looking to be new president of the sports world body. Now the u. S. Has given the south sudan 15 days for face sanctions. Its president refused to sign a Peace Agreement with rebels on monday and it was described as outrageous. Given the outrageous failure of the parties to reach an agreement yesterday, support for the regional political process now must mean a readiness of the Security Council to take action, to mobilize our collective resources and greece pressure accordingly on those frustrating piece. And we must advance efforts to hold perpetrators of atrocities accountable. Bringing an end to fighting in south sudan is another challenge we jointly face. We all said that on the 17th of august was a hard deadline for an agreement to bring peace. We must all be firm on our next steps. We cannot step by while leaders fight and sufferers grow. A very warm welcome to the program. Thank you. Is this the right time to put on this type of pressure . Absolutely. The u. S. And United Kingdom and others are finally stepping to the plate saying that will about be consequences. The government has 15 days. If it doesnt sign on to this solid and widely agreed to Peace Agreement, then targeted sanctions are on the table, and an arms embargo should be on the table as well. I know weve been talking about this story over the past few days, one of my guests a couple of days ago said that they actually understood why they had to take this away, because otherwise the foundations of this peace would not be stable. Is that an argument, do you think . Well, one thing is that this deal and its text have been on the table for a while now. In fact, when president obama was in the region, and as the around that time they came out with this document. There has been ample opportunity to discuss it. That said we hope within the next 15 days we hope that theyre able to form some consensus within their own constituency and its time to make the costly sacrifices necessary for peace. Do you think that the pressure, the threat of sanctions might make a difference. There have been sanctions in the past, of course. There has been sanctions in the past. A handful of field commanders have been identified. There are many who dont have healthy Bank Accounts and big mansions and live abroad, but thats not true of most south sudanese, they are looking for actual enforcement action whether thats in uganda, kenya, here in the United States or other places where south sudanese elites have stashed their as lets go sanctions are just part of the answer here. What else is necessary . Sanctions, indeed, are part of a broader strategy. And that has to involve supporting Civil Society to busch for enforcement of this Peace Agreement. There has to be a strong agreement to justice and accountability. And also an arms embargo to stop weapons from flowing in to south sudan and continuing the bloodshed. Joining us live from new york p thank you. Thank you. Now turkeys Prime Minister said that hes failed to reform a new coalition. The political instability comes amid a rebel campaign. Bernard smith has more now from instance bull. Coalition talks have been going on since june 27th, but those Coalition Talks have been unsuccessful, and now theyve returned the mandates to president erdogan. The likelihood is now that president erdogan will call the new elections. It probably be between mid to end november. Now there has to be a caretaker government in effect, an election effect, that will be made up of representatives of all the parties in the government. So for the first time the theyve been trying to avoid having to do that. It looks like it has little option left, and theyll have to share cabinet positions. The all of those parties will be offered cabinet positions, the prospect of them all sitting around the cabinet table before elections in november. Set the likelihood of a particularly fractious government in what is a particularly turbulent time in turkey. Failed democrats Robert Menendez said that he would be voting against the deal. This deal does not require iran to destroy or fully decommission a single uranium centrifuge. In fact, half of irans centrifuges will continue to spin. The remainder including more than 5,000 operating center huges and 10,000 not yet functioning will merely be disconnected and transferred to another hall will they could quickly be reinstalled to enrich uranium. Yet, we and our allies have allowed to lift the sanctions and allow billions of dollars flow back into irans economy. Bob menendez is the second democrat to come out against the deal. Its a statement that the boom administration did not want to hear. Menendez said that hes concerned the deal does not do anything to dismantle irans capabilit nuclear capability. He called on congress to reject the agreement but not in its entirety, to encourage the president to go back to the negotiating table and get a better agreement. Now the president did get a vote of support on tuesday from another area, thats a group of none proliferation arms control expert, that group says that this is a good deal. They can support it. And historically its tougher than other deals that the United States has signed. Congress has until midseptember to reject the Nuclear Agreement even with menendezs announcement, it looks as if the president has enough support to sustain his deal. The results are in for sri lankas parliamentary election, the Prime Minister is likely to remain in office the ruling party polled 106 seconds while the opposing party got 105. We have reports now from the capital of colombo. The results are finally in at sri lankas parliamentary election. Now basically what will happen is the Prime Minister is expected to be invited to form a government b by the president , which he must do. The official, the official result needed to be gathered. Ththis must happen with negotiating with partners who came together to help bring the victory for the alliance. That leaves questions for the former president , his political future, what he does next. But its very clear that very lan cannens have decided their fate 37. Airstrikes in douma, one of the bloodiest attacks of its type in the fouryear long war that has killed an estimated quarter of a Million People. Now libyas internationally recognized government has urged fellow arab countries to arm its military to deal with fighters from the Islamic State in iraq and the levant. Theyre trying to establish a Permanent Base in the country. Airstrikes from air states can prevent isil take over which is largely controlled since may. Now, all parties in yemens civil war has displayed a flagrant disregard for civilian lives according to amnesty international. In a new report they accuse the coalition and fighters on the ground of leaving a trail of destruction that could amount to war crimes. Both Houthi Rebels and armed groups have launched attacks. Saudiled Coalition Airstrikes have hit civilian areas where there are often no military targets nearby. The amnesty is report biased against the kingdom. Its not enoughthey could not make this cement from the United Kingdom. They welcome the United States. They work on this approval and with the introduction community. There is no doubt. To define and to prove that the houthis are the people responsible for killing those innocent people. Its not saudi arabia and the coalition party. This is fought by the saudi arabia an looking for amnesty. In the u. S. Across the west firefighters are near the limit of their resources. Cruise totaling 25,000 men and women are now reinforced with support from 200 mobilized National Guard troops. In Central Washington evacuations forced hundreds from their homes. Its coming down in pure flames. Its like a flame flower coming through this. Ive lived here 33 years, so its hard to see this. At the peak of the apple harvest here, one plant was virtually destroy. While california is accustomed to summer wildfires, the fourth year of drought there isin aggravating the danger. Firefighters can no longer depend on moisture from under brush and trees that would ordinarily control the spread of the blazes. Even alaska with almost 200 current fighters ranging have not been spared. This season is the third worst on record for the state. Snow covers less of alaska than normal so risk will remain higher than normal. A winter forecast for one of the strongest el ninos in recorded history would mean much warmer sea temperatures, and that would raise the chances of more rainfall. Tom ackerman, al jazeera.
