this is al jazeera ah hello, hello robin. you're watching the al jazeera news ally from our headquarters here in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. an earthquake devastates parts of the northern philippines, triggering land slides and killing at least 4 people. he, you countries are free to reduce the amount of gas that they use. they're trying to revert to wind to crisis. as russia warns that supplies will be cut. also relatives of murdered al jazeera jim this, you mean i will actually meet the u. s. secretary of state to demand accountability for her death. and germany's lufthansa cancels more than $1000.00 flights as its ground staff walk off the job. i'm devin ash, with sport, american basket will stop britney griner asked you to testify as part of had drug trial in russia and well as an aisd or dashes. those you'll ever see help st. england into the final that when enjoy ah, welcome to the news as we begin in the philippines where the interior minister says that at least 4 people have now been killed and 60 injured. after a magnitude 7 earthquake hit the northern region, the center appears to be the town of dolores in the province of abra. now, tremors were found as far away as the capital manila, which is more than 300 kilometers to the south train services have been disrupted. the us geological survey says there is no threat of a soon army present burden and marco's junior was so, has a short of a quick response. dianda animal will shannon slowly the road to being cleared. we have been some of those that were not possible. we've already been able to clear if there are no big boulders blocking the roads and it's just soil, then it's not a problem. and i anticipate that by the end of the day, all the roads will be clear that sprinkler correspond bother me low, whose mother to go. it's for us from the capital manila. and of course upon me. what now with the authority saying, as we've had a few more, i'd hours to digest exactly what's been going on because night falls and the rescue operation does become more difficult. absolutely is going to be more difficult to continue. the operations in the northern philippines is a mountainous region as dead, the day turns into the night. a lot of these operations are clearing operations because a lot of the damage was caused by landslides and rough slides. and so to be able to do these clear operations power is needed and there are indeed power interruptions . there will be needing lights and obviously have to power these lights. there needs to be electricity, as well as to power the other equipment necessary for these clearing operations. also, it would be more difficult to assess the damages of file structures of homes and buildings in the area to be able to send people back home to their homes. is so there are still families that are outside of their homes, awaiting assessment of damage of their homes. and again, it will be more difficult to do this said during the night time, but that's not the only problem. the problem is that rains are also on the horizon, so this could also hamper search rescue relief efforts as well as clearing operations not before night did fall where you are, what sort of aid was either arriving or on its way. mm hm. okay, so foot pack, so have already arrived in the most affected areas of the earthquake. um the social welfare secretary was there just a few hours after the earthquake and so that presence is actually very reassuring. according to the victims of the earthquake up, he promised that the national government would download an additional $400000.00 for our relief goods for the victims of the earthquake. and there are also tents that are already available. as i said, there are so families who are outside their homes not able to return to their homes because assessment of the damages of their homes have not been over. and so they will need tanza because they're outside in the field. it's not safe for them as well to be inside structured evacuation centers, of course, of the region that we're talking about is in the north. it's the locust region is the strong hold of the newly elected president, a marcus junior. he said that he wants to coordinate and oversee the whole rescue and recovery operation from the capital manila. but it would be prudent for him at some stage, to go to his political stronghold and be there with the people that supported him in the recent election. they need his help and they want to see him on the ground. i'm sure. well, earlier in the day he was actually scheduled to fly to the region, at least according to his press secretary. but when he faced the media, he said that he would not be going to the region. he did not want to hamper the ongoing efforts. there he said that he would only be a distraction there because if he goes there, then, you know, local officials would need to scramble extra security personnel for him. they would be needed to, you know, to be there in, in his presence. and so he did not want to be a distraction, he said, but then he said that it's possible that he would be visiting the region to morrow . and if there is a clearer picture of the situation, and if he does not or will not be a distraction to the efforts there, while the below force a imminent with the very latest will of course be talking to bon to be through the night as well thank you bonnie or to other needs now where countries in the european union has agreed to reduce how much gas they use after rush award of another drop in supply. you members have volunteered to cut consumption by 15 percent from august until march. russia says are put, will fall because it has to do maintenance on a faulty gas turbine. but a, you lead as a key is masika of playing politics. robber anger reports. the energy crisis slimming over europe, dominated the meeting of e ministers in brussels, cutting gas consumption ahead of winter, the best and only way to reduce ease reliance and russian energy. fortified be a sam correspond stay 15 percent gut in our usual gas, one sumption to be in the beginning of august and the end of march. that's why we have pointed to this percentage as the target on member states should stay forward . russia is set to further reduce supplies to the north stream pipelines. blaming a technical fault at one of their stations, something e and ministers disappeared. e leaders say there's no technical reason for the latest reduction of the short national game. as of today, there is no solution to the ongoing equipment issues at the port here they are compressed, the station we have, there is no solution whatsoever yet. seems as saying nothing because they're trying to find solutions. but there are millions come out. as the western russia exchange economic blows in response to russia's warning ukraine, european leaders say moscow is not a trustworthy partner. the wind is coming ah, and we don't know how cold it will be. but what we know for sure that the in the will continue to play his her don't the games her in misusing and like, mailing cur, by ha, ha, ga supplies. ukraine's president for lottie mal zalinski says, europe is around d at war with rochelle, blue, and gas is the new front line, or is he in this variety? all this is done by russia on purpose to make it as difficult as possible for europeans to prepare for winter. and this is an open guess war that russia is waging against the united europe. this is precisely how it should be perceived, and they don't care all happened to the people or how they will suffer from hunger g to the blockading of ports, or from winter cold and poverty, or from occupation. these are just different forms of terror yet. wellness those, that nearly half of all the gas europe needs comes from russia. the supply is now down to relative trickle. come winter, if your pin countries don't have enough supply stored up and time rations will almost certainly mean as struggle to heat homes and power cities. barbara and gap her out to sara rushes formula through the now does arbor where he is held talks with his ethiopian count upon the mecca mccannen. the visit is part of the 2nd legacy, the gala ross africa. all his aiming to reassure nations at heart by the global grain shortage caused by russia's war in ukraine. and moscow is hoping to strengthen ties with the continent. the town so far refused to join western sanctions over the conflict. well, relatives of murdered al jazeera chandler, sri number actually have met the u. s. secretary states in washington to demand accountability for her tough sri was shorter than her by his ready forces. while she was on assignment to the occupied west bank, o da 0, she had return, see met sharina nice lena? abruptly. we continue to reiterate our demands and her, our concerns, especially regarding the 4th of july statement that was released. it was not an investigation. and we express how damaging it was to the truth and to all the multiple reports that were released ah, by respect of news outlet and most importantly by the u. n. o, we clearly demanded her an independent and transparent investigation by the u. s. considering that she didn't, wasn't american citizen, we also asked for accountability and the justice wasn't an acknowledgment there about how absurd it seemed. when the u. s. government said that they couldn't make any definitive judgment about who killed shrine, and yet they decided it wasn't done on purpose by the idea of was, was that contradiction discourse perhaps what we asked for them to retract, or to correct the statement? or considering the fact that it lacked the evidence, it lacked transparency. and the, until today we were never aware of how the process went. and the secretary blinkin, he, he said he's committed to providing us transparency, moving forward with any process that involves the case of shooting. or is there a timeline though, as are they gonna furnished information as to exactly what role that had on these investigations and whether they really went forensically over the evidence? so there was no timeline. no, we were not given a deadline as to when we would receive information. we will continue to ask for accountability and for you as lead investigation that is transparent and independent because that statement was not an investigation. we weren't the only ones who are not satisfied, but even us senators. and members of congress expressed that in a letter they sent us to the, to the president. so we are expecting an independent investigation and justice for shit in but finally, do you think they're taking this seriously, or is this now a public relations like so, i decided that not going to make these really is uncomfortable in any way. i'm just trying to get through this without, well, we are hoping that this is taken seriously. uh, we are hoping to see meaningful action and not just statements, but we want to see action. we want to see accountability. so we can prevent this from happening to other american palestinian citizens or palestinians in general. and shitty. it was a who, she was a human being at the end of the day. so she needs to be protected. journalists have to be protected, and it's important for us that to you as administration takes this seriously. we also requested her to meet with the president, since he did not meet with us when we were back in. when we were back in palestine, and the meeting with the president would show us that the u. s. is taking this matter seriously. fall plenty more had here the al jazeera news, our including firefighters begin to gain ground against california largest wildfire . this year we report from yosemite national park. also can you head to the polls in 2 weeks, but find out why one of the contenders is refusing to debate on live television. and in sport, we hear from a young woman and algeria fighting their way into the world of mixed martial arts. gemma will have that story shortly. ah, 2 rival meetings in washington, d. c. have illustrated the divide within the republican party for president donald trump spoke one while his former vice president addressed another article haine has the story. january 20th, 2021. president donald trump left washington. now about a year and a half later, he's back. his address, similar to once he's been given, painting a dark picture of the country, but one full of falsehoods. under the democratic rule, in democrat run cities, democrat run stage and a democrat run federal government. and criminals have been given free reign more than ever before. in reality, in the 10 states with the highest homicide rates, 7 are run by republicans. 3 democrats later at our country is up 51 percent. it's not the latest statistic, say it's up about 30 percent according to the centers for disease control and prevention. there were lies about the state of the economy and what he accomplished in office, and the fact that he lost the election. but still there were chance of 4 more years . not far away, one of the men who would like a chance to be the next president, former vice president mike pence made his pitch subtly distancing himself from his former bosses'. i don't, i don't know that the president and i differ on issues, but we may differ on focus. i truly do believe that elections are about future. it's not just trump who's focusing on the past attorney general mer garland, the man who will decide if trump's should be criminally charged for his role. in january 6, insurrection says if trump runs again and which trump hinted at during this speech, it won't stop him from filing charges like we pursue justice without fear or favor . we intend to hold everyone, anyone who was criminally responsible for the events surrounding january 6, for any attempt to interfere with the lawful transfer power from one administration to another accountable. that's what we do. we don't pay any attention to other issues with respect to that. and we've started to see more former trump officials walk out after talking to a grand jury in washington. indications that a trump criminal indictment is at least a possibility. patty calhane al jazeera washington. well, let's bring it's got lucas. he's never also professor at the university of birmingham in the united kingdom enjoys be from the good time you get this. all the programming had mr. lucas, a tale of 2 narratives. the former president and the form of vice president certainly giving the public on their own party food for thought a tale into narratives. but let's remember the reality on top of those narratives. so doll truck goes to washington. part of the reason he goes to washington is he's going to run for president 2024. not possible he will be running. but he's also trying to escape any legal accountability over the capital attack. amid the house committee hearings. and as your correspondent noted, the justice department now saying it's expanding the possibility that there may be a prosecution. then on the other hand, you've got mike pence. the man who refused refused to go along with trump's crew on january 6th, refused to block president joe biden. and as a result, trump actually sat on that day, maybe mike pence deserves to hang so patch, presenting himself as the sensible face of the republican party. now, what's the reality beyond the republican party before we get to the country? have a huge choice at a critical time. do they go along with donald trump for yet another presidential, ron, or as he now or is he now finally to toxic? even if the republican party might turn to trumpets, someone who talks like trump, but was cannot connected to the capital attack. so like florida governor on to santa's so i will pick that nicole while as well because i won't have to think people are listening to what donald trump is saying right now in terms of his party . he has a hot coal, an element of support, but the wide republican party, as you say, is perhaps undecided about which direction they move to. as we head towards said, it's in house selection of coals, very important mid term elections in november. right, and we already have important republican primaries with trumpets versus non trumpet, including in arizona next week. but take a look at who was in that crowd for trump's speech yesterday. the house minority leader, kevin mccarthy. the chair, woman of the republican national committee, ronald mcdaniel, a number of legislators. they at least are weighing in their options. and some of them, like jim jordan, the representative, already all in with trump. but then look at who is being silent and who is not being st. like the senate minority leader, mitch mcconnell, the man who i think was most influential waldrop was in office. and that's where you realize that the republican party, as we go through the mid term cycle, is already looking to 2024, including trop, including pets, including the santos and saying, look, we want to get our guy in. we want to continue to pack the courts with our people. we want to continue to cut taxes. but can we really afford to do it with tromp? given that he tried to stay in power through the 1st time, a president effectively tried to overthrow the constitution to remain in office. and of course, you know, whether he, he, he goes to trial about some of the things, certainly full the, the current department of justice. but is it a case also the lights of mitch mcconnell and as you mentioned, you know, desantis and a few others don't really liked a tongue, a ted cruz that want to actually shoot themselves in the foot right now. that being very em, god aid about what their next move a's because it is these next few weeks. quite crucial. are they ready for the republicans because they have a message within their own party the trying to get across to get people on the side and the rules are trying to get the public onside those that would vote for them? exactly. they wanna, you know, pretend that the party is holding together even though it's fractured before november's elections. but there's something even bigger here. when you swing at the would be king and his supporters, your best not miss. if mc carl breaks from trump, he's gone to get backlash from all those trumpets. now, how many are there out there? who will turn against him and turn against the republicans and beyond the republican party? if the justice department has enough evidence to say that donald trump is criminally liable for the capital attack, that still raises the question, will they swing at the want to be king and actually prosecute? because if they decide to prosecute as soon as they make that announcement truck will go to his people scrape, which hot scream hopes, and he will call them out on the streets the greatest crisis for american democracy . since the u. a civil war, salt lucas, always good to get your inside. thanks so much for joining us from burning and in the u. k. thank you, jim. these national airline live tensors stenciling more than 1000 flights because of a one day strike by its ground grew. a labor union is demanding a pay increase of around $20000.00. i thought 20000 work isn't it says a payoff a made by lufthansa isn't good enough. the airline is one of the wells largest done . it says the strike will effect around $230000.00 passengers. i have to go to paris. the flow was cancelled and they said that tomorrow would be booked. but nobody was here when i, you know, the faith, what do we have to do? well, you have to, all you have to sleep. did happen from that of a discount. we talked about the situation and even though we are affected by the strike, we find it ok what they are doing. these are difficult times. everyone has to fight, and those times i was making good money right now. let's go over to step vass and who's at berlin brandenburg airport and all quite on the german front. it seems boundary. few people more than last time. well, absolutely. this try guess, taking place during the summer travel season and a lot of people, especially this summer, i've decided to go abroad because after the since the court would send now travel restrictions have been lifted. a lot of people book a vacation. but now today there's no ground stop for my little hands or the me that's more than 1000 flights here in germany has been cancelled, and more than 130000 passengers have to cancel or change their flights. so many of them have re book. that's why you can still see a lot of people here at the airport, but also a lot of people to try to just not to come because of course their plans flag was canceled. the staff looked pounds. i decided to go on this friday because they were asking for about a phase. they have been working really hard since cove there was a lot left. for now. we seem to have a slight technical problem thereof. see with that link her to step, but i will be joining her throughout the day as we see a how those problems evolves. fort german air travelers are certainly in berlin. let's move on though, is staying in europe, that farmers in the netherlands are holding another protest against the government's plans to reduce nitrogen emissions. now they

kurdish region. last week, 9 people were killed including torrison children. iraq has blamed turkey for the attack and accusation anchor denies. our diplomat together to james bay's reports now from un headquarters in new york. inside the security council, a war of words about who was responsible for the artillery attack, which claimed the lives of 9 iraq, he taurus, and wounded more than 20 more on one side of the horseshoe table. the rocky foreign minister who said turkey was responsible on the other side, the turkish representative who blamed the kurdish group the p k. k. immediately after the incident, there was a campaign to blame my country for what happened. hobby was, it was eventually revealed that particular terminal condition was responsible for the tech. we heard the turkish representative say that last week's attack was carried out by the p k. k. you say it was carried out by turkey. how you social we are sure because we had our investigation in fact, the area around that village and close to that village has been occupied by took shon me. so there are various basis to show me in that area. and depending on our investigation, we didn't find any activities during the last period. he's been the last month of pre k k fighters in that area. he added that they carried out a technical investigation into the explosives that have been used and said they were consistent with those used by the turkish military, the iraqi foreign minister, once that to be an independent investigation commission by the security council. security council members. when they spoke all condemned the attack, but they didn't at this stage seem to be support for such an investigation. i miss all the talk, talk to the turkish base near the northern iraqi city of mosul, as well as building place to the turkish counselor, officer out several vehicles with damage, but no casualties have been reported. the group has claim responsibility for the attack. mostella had here all the news on celebrating 69 years is the start of the cuban revolution. we looked at the challenges i had with leaders a don't quite for me, argentina, 70 years after she died. we look at the lasting

europe for the last week and taken away the heat wave has suggested some rain in the czech republic, and that's how far north the fires have reached out. germany check public for an example, but i say normally it doesn't really reflect what's happening for the south to attempt to the back. below anything you'd call heat wave. the some rain around the forecast on wednesday really has it down to the baltic states bedroom. maybe the check republicans riverkeeper. this rain has not been substantial for many countries. the wood drive has come up, british owls, england particulars been mentioned in that regard. but drought certainly set in for the sas and with that and the heat wave, you've now got more forest foss. this one just western more police in southern france is made worse by the winds. are enduring winds in the forecast wednesday and thursday. the heat still there in spain, apart from the occasional sharon, the mountains, it's generally a dry and hot situation because some of these shall be thunderstorms. they could produce lightning and therefore spot more fires has been flooding in africa in central african republic because he's easterly waves move west was with flooding rain, that one's narrow reach, sierra leone and giddy. but the next one is already building and will produce yet more flooding. ah, the lullabies of defiance. it really touched my heart deeply when she started to sing y'all that. ready i see out is there a well remembers palestinian singer who reached audiences beyond the middle east, born into a creative family in nazareth. she sang out a powerful and emotional message, the personal story of rain, banana, the voice of palestine on al jazeera. setting the discussion. i'd love to see every time there was an attack on a mosque all the right wing organization. thank me. don't approve of that. examining the headline, it court is the political court that is making political decisions, explorer, and abundance of world class programming, designed to inform. the biggest fear of ang autocrat is crowd of people on the streets motivate. and in by, he's opening an area that a blind person never thought they can do on al jazeera. ah ah, what your options there is news are with me. so robin a reminder of our top stories that earthquake in the northern philippines has killed at least 4 people and injured 60 travers were fell to the capital manilla, which is more than 300 kilometers to the south. european union nations have agreed to reduce the gas that they use after russia said supplies are likely to be caught . russia is blaming a faulty turbine, but e leaders accused moscow of playing politics and relatives of murdered al jazeera joan. the sri number actually have met you, a secretary of state antony blink, and during sam lee is demanding accountability after she was killed by israeli forces. now south, great prime minister is recommending a presidential pardon for the air to samson electronics who was convicted of bribery and embezzlement, the vice chairman of the world's largest memory, chip maker, j. y lee was granted parole last year. now he served 18 months out of 30 months. the move is largely symbolic, as his term will end on friday, aiden foster carter is the henri senior research fellow in modern korea at the university of leeds jones, when our vice gained from exeter in the u. k. mr. foster cartucker to have you with us on the program. when south koreans are looking for good governance and justice. how will this news be received because the trial was controversial as was his arrest. yes, this is going to be contentious. i mean it's a very general situation is a very long running one and it's a paradox. south korea's biggest companies are world class everyone. i'm sure every single view of the show has heard of samsung of hyundai, of l g and a number of others. we know that products, they're very good companies, but they are unusual. but in combat, the companies or other countries in number of ways they are conglomerate. so in samsung has a finger in almost every pie in south korea is a huge part of the south for an economy. so the are the groups that don't specialize. and also they are, they are pretty much heretic few moment kids. so j, why the, the man we're talking about, he's technically just the vice chairman and something electronics. the crown jewels are public quoted company which theoretically is owned by shareholders, but everybody knows he's the boss. and then the 3rd thing, which is regrettable is that a day by the is not alone. i mean too often, these distinguish companies and they, and there are people that are convicted of wrong doing. and they serve time in jail and it's very open in many other countries, such people would be under to be bought from official, from shame. they would no longer be the leaders. but in korea, they remain the leaders and a lot of people are very unhappy about that. but the, the, the rail, all the people can we say rail economic argument is that he's the boss. we need this guy, major investor in the u. s. search, it's a very contentious issue and this is just, you know, the latest round in a very long running soccer. and so it didn't also sort of you want to the political drama because i said it would it be true to say that in this case, it's not about what you know, but who you know that from what grounds would the president be justified in taking the advice of the prime minister on this occasion because even that sort of polish teak creates law politics. does it not? it does. i mean it shouldn't be like that, but of course it is politics and economics international. i suppose everyone is old times a particularly now in south korea, which is a democracy and government changes hands. and so there is a new conservative government president used to kill, got in, in may result and narrowly elected in march. he is a most most korean presidents before him left. all right. have talked about reforming governance of the table. i mean, really, emissions here is the stuff is all wrong. i you and actually hasn't. and so i thought for soon as he got in, it was more or less a foregone conclusion that j. wylie would be relieved of some of these buttons i'm, it's not clear how many, by the way, i'm sorry, you may be coming home to this because one particular case is probably he's probably going to be possible unless you're interested in your introduction is slightly national. he's already out on parole and but his term would end within days. but there is a separate one about stock price manipulation of different cation 2050 marks lenders, that, that hasn't come to trial. yet that here at the stock prices of various interlocking samsung companies and all kinds of fields were basically show that j windy could keep control. i don't think it's possible as for coupons in advance where it hasn't been a trial yet. so it's not clear that his was or yet, oh no, you do bring me that very neatly because it goes, the pardon would happen to round about the 15th of august, which is independence day to south korea. so i believe that's what we're looking out for. but as you alluded to a, you know, he would be free to conduct business activities. and that in itself is a role that is questionable because he has cases and certainly want about try a trial for accounting fraud. still pending. so you know, it in south korea with the public, be happy with the fact that somebody who's convicted can go back to business, but might just have a trial around the corner. again, again, the public will be divided. i mean, south career is politically divided a little bit like like the u. s. i suppose, i mean, you beat people pretty much take sides on this. i'm a range of issues. so for supporters of the previous government to president, man j. and by the way, presidents and you get 5 years, i was like a gentleman. i shot a single 5 year term and then they have, they have to leave. i mean, he was, he came down very hard on the table and also his predecessors, which is a partly linked story. but so people on that persuasion, people on liberals, on the left will say no, this is a disgrace. you know, we're a modern world class economy. we can't have jail birds running companies. but people, you know, there's also the rail economic ok, even from the right, from the right saying these are tough times. the rivalry with china is growing and there's a lot of pressure on south for a, which is a lot of trade with china to st sides with the u. s. dish entangle heavy chip and other involvement. so they've got in china. the j young is a young lady by the different name and career in america is crucial. that has huge samsung investments in tax, social, atlanta, $200000000000.00. i think i read that right further investment so that consider it in the us just sort of to, to make, to be locked up and you know, it's doing anyone's 100 percent happy about that, but i feel that as the way it's going to go, we'll see what happens. i mean, in the coming days they would have been forced to call joining us mexico in the u. k. thanks for your time. so thank you. now there's been heavy flooding and india southern telling ga the state in recent days, houses are being partially submerged, many locals, and not to leave a homes. on monday, head the about was batted by torrential rain which caused the lucy river to swell. environmentalists warned climate change could lead to more disastrous. an emergency crews in the usa, they're making progress as they battled telephony as large as, while father share that he, a quarter of the 5 navy 70 national park is not contained. it began bending on friday and it's destroyed more than $6000.00 hacked hands of land, rob runnels reports now from my pose a county aftermath of an inferno. this house was completely incinerated by the huge wildfire that ripped through mar posts, a county in california, sierra nevada mountains. the heat was so intense, it melted aluminum parts and cars, turning them into shiny dribbles of metal. the fire broke out on friday and quickly exploded in size and gulping thousands of hector's and forcing thousands of people to evacuate. dozens of structures have been destroyed, firefighters say, years of drought, extreme heat, and millions of dead trees killed by invasive bark. beatles turned a small blaze into a monster where in a dramatically major drought. so what you see yourself are, you know, immensely dry condition is not to mention the beetle bark appear there with that killed a lot of these trees that are now dead and standing along with low humidity, major, or hot conditions that just made a recipe for disaster now yes, so when the fire swept through year to little, literally blew everything up, about 3000 firefighters have scrambled from all across the state to this remote mountainous region. they doubt hot spots cut up down trees and build fire brakes when there is no roads. the fighting is done from the air, a steady stream of helicopters, drop water and fire retardant on burning hillsides. the work has begun to pay off. we've made really good progress, not because no, you know the conditions or weather conditions have been on her side. the amount of resources that we broad here have also help. and also the, you know, the wind died down so
