many who have family back in haiti, it's a security situation. that is the biggest concern because if you have relatives in haiti and puerto prince right now, you know the situation could become inflamed extremely quickly. we often see burning ties on protests on the streets and out into the armed gangs, food shortages, and the fact that united nations pull the troops out in 2017. that makes this a very worrying situation for the 300000. so patients that live here in south florida taliban find his have continued their offensive in northern afghanistan, making their 1st assault on a provincial capital since the us and nato drop down began without a bond says it briefly took control of allah. now in battle, these, for the 1st time since 2000 and the one i've got to stanz ministry defense says it's forces killed, more than 2000 tons on fighters this week. yet they're still losing significant territory shot. but us explains the taliban fighters rolling through color, you know, the capital of these province in north western s canister. they claim to h

haiti shares a border with the dominican republic. no one is crossing at the moment, the border is closed. to many kids are worried that violence and disorder in haiti may spread into their country, so as you can imagine they are watching the country closely. here is a former dominika and member of defense. >> haiti does not have institutions, it cannot guarantee security to its citizens. it lives in permanent chaos and permanent instability. the gravity of these circumstances reach the president. ros: president jovenel moise was a controversial leader, he came to power in 2017 but was accused of corruption and illegally extending his presidency. there were mass protests. the opposition accused him of exceeding his term in office and demanded that he step down. those protests were only part of a broader unrest. much of the power lies with armed gangs, and critics with the president say that he did little to change that. here is the head of one human rights group saying that gang activity was the worst we had ever seen, linking it to e

of course patients would like haiti to be, to be, would differently. they would like a different issue from our, from our problems. we have a lot of problems. but the reason why the lead is i just, i just talk about them. the leaders that we have today to bring themselves together . and we have solutions to asian borders. will there be a u. s. base and have some i've said that the united states once military base in the have to attacks perhaps in the future chinese, the interests in latin america. it already has the 4th largest u. s embassy in the world in the border prints. i don't think we've talked about us base today. it should assess the mission of the president, the prime minister into the pledges, and the government asked for some help to secure some critical states. critical plants like airports, balls and actually goes in and but for them now we're talking about us base like as far as maybe terry it talk to one of us, the chinese everyone else in latin america is, are you allowed as a government to get chinese investment as above and we like t

i mean you've had a gang phenomenon in haiti for quite some time. this is not something that's just emerged or materialized in the last couple of years. gangs are often deeply embedded in communities across the major cities of haiti, from the north to the center to the south. and they play a variety of roles. they provide protection. they extort and racketeer. but most importantly a lot of gangs in haiti are also implicated in politics. that is to say they're instrumentalized by many of the governmental figures or oppositional figures as a way of either getting out the vote or suppressing the vote in really key areas. so right now in haiti, you've got a number of major gangs and federations of gangs that have essentially taken over almost two-thirds of the city, making it no-go areas for anybody, let alone common citizens. so it's a really difficult situation that was coming to a boil even before the assassination of the president. >> what can the international community do to help? you know, the international community has pledged, i think it's $13

haiti is the poorest country in the americas. the first lady says her husband planned to change the constitution to improve the lives of ordinary people. speaking in creole, she described wednesday's attack. translation: in the blinki of an eye, the mercenaries entered my home and riddled my husband with bullets, without even giving him a chance to say a word. we cannot let the country lose its way. we cannot let his blood have been spilled in vain. but his proposed constitutional changes made him enemies. many said he just wanted to extend his time in office. the haitian government says 28 foreign mercenaries were involved in the attack and that most of them have been arrested or killed. three people now claim to lead the country — an interim prime minister, claudejoseph, a new prime minister ariel henry, who's yet to be sworn in, and joseph lambert, nominated as the new president. haiti has now asked for international help to maintain calm on the streets. whether that will come is unclear. rich preston, bbc news. for more on

so neo colonies as haiti as long function. so very telling that these mercenaries 26 out of 28, are colombian to our american, and then they go to seek refuge in the taiwanese embassy. so i think we have to highlight here is colombia now becoming not just an internal oppressor of the everyday colombian. people battling neo colonialism there. and 9 u. s. military bases on colombian soil. but it's columbia, now the largest exporter of violence in latin america. let's not forget rory last year. they tried to assassinate the democratically elected president of venezuela as well. so you don't think, for example, that it would be the leadership in columbia, the could be behind this assassination plot. you're saying the columbia is a good place if you need to, most in areas, go to columbia, pick him up and they can go and do a job for you. oh no, i think the links definitely and i'm not speaking from any point of paranoia, but from recent history. the links between the drug enforcement agency, the different intelligence services in c

those with family and haiti, a listening to reports closely and bracing themselves the worst. haiti's recent history, a thing whose political instability and widespread gang violence. all haitians can do here is watch and hope for the best officials in the neighboring dominican republic afforded the immediate closure of the border with haiti. un troops stationed in haiti left in 2017, leaving an already fragile democracy exposed. and it's people afraid of what may happen next to kalika al jazeera will haiti the basset to the us, as the attack was carried out by foreign mercenaries pretending to be agents of the u. s. drug enforcement administration. video footage to show that it is a well target attack because there will come in those professional skills. those are the want to enter the big residence and the web. everybody's thinking about the city presented themselves on the agent and, but just to carry out the dirty mission, now we're talking about the message is fine. i said i was a party, there would be some internal ends and some places. but we'll leave that to investigation. the

judy: now to the crisis in haiti. it's been less than a week since the shocking assassination of haiti's president by gunman who broke into his home. now a possible conspiracy involving a haitian-born doctor living in florida has further roiled an already fraught situation, all this as political rivals jockey for power. there is now a new lead suspect in the assassination of president jovenel moise. haitian authorities said over the weekend that he is this man, 63-year-d christian emmanuel sanon, a haitian american who lives in florida. in 2011, he appeared to promote himself as a leader for haiti. >> with me in power, you are going to have to tell me, at are you doing with my uranium? what you going to do with the oil that we have in the country? what are you going to do with the gold that you want to exploit? judy: police chieleon charles said sanon had arrived in haiti in june. in a search of sanon's home, officers found weapons, bullets, and a hat with an emblem from the u.s. drug enforcement administration. >> de

under president woodrow wilson took control of haiti's railroads, took control of haiti's banks, took control of the infrastructure, and made it to u.s. business interests. he literally rewrote the constitution and installed a puppet government. and since then, the u.s. involvement in haiti has gone even downward. my family has seen this firsthand. you know, i discovered in the u.s. national archives that the cia had been spying on my grandfather, and i have tried to get these documents unclassified. some of them are unclassified, but four of them still 50 years later remain redacted. i have had to sue in federal court. but me, i'm not the issue, that's not the issue. the issue is what do we do going forward? we know certain things, but the u.s. government knows more in terms of our national security apparatus. finally, i will say, joshua, decisions will be made to avert a, quote, unquote, refugee crisis. >> right. >> there's that dynamic, that we don't want more refugees from haiti coming. there's issues of national security, and there's issues of business. so it is a complicated web

of us policy toward haiti. we asked him what he thinks needs to change in order for international support to be more fruitful. well, i think that what we have to do is work with haitian civil society. broadly speaking, the legal community, the bar association, the human rights groups, the catholic church, the protestant church, the political parties, the unions in the business community. and i think they are working right now as we speak to come up with a plan for a consensus plan for a caretaker government that would take power, calm things down, restore order, and build a pathway to restore democracy. you can't just say have elections, have elections, have elections when there's no legitimate government where there's no security for the people to go to the polls. when there is no electoral council capable of registering the the whole population, we need to build up the conditions for us to f. ganesha. and now where the departure of foreign troops in recent days has led to a fierce fighting for control taliban

so washington is very interested in haiti, of chairs the island with the dominican republic. it is a neighbor of cuba right across the windward passage. so geo, strategically, it's very important. so another headline stories this thursday, years of french nuclear testing in algeria is part of this. a hard desert have left a lasting impact on locals on the environment 6 decades. now the radioactive aftermath still remains without jury denouncing power. so rich refusal to share where nuclear waste is actually buried. your chart, charlotte davinsky. it's 60 years since from a few del g area as a nuclear testing ground. but the injury is still being felt today. thousands of victims contaminated by radiation, waiting for compensation. now, the old theory and government is stepping up the fight. it has accused frances refusing to handle important information regarding the sites. the french side has not technically led any initiative to clean up the sites and france has not taken any humanitarian steps to compensate the victims. many radiation victims have already died due to unknow

if haiti, the god awful thing to save haiti just quietly sunk into the caribbean or rose up 300 feet, it would matter a whole lot in terms of our interest. many are bracing for the aftermath of these events, anticipating unrest in the country. migration is certainly an issue that's very important to many people in the united states. there are many concerns and fears that unrest in haiti could lead to more migrants fleeing to the united states. so what exactly happens next is not clear. the military is on the streets, and the country is bracing for what could be even more unrest. we spoke to brooklyn based editor at hey t, liberty. he already has suspicions about the assassination in which players could theoretically be involved. this operation, there were 9 brand new nissan patrol. pickup trucks involved. they clearly were very sophisticated. they knew the layout of the president's home. they knew where to go. apparently they had inside information, so this was an operation which had been clearly planned for some time and had a lot of money behind it. so were likely to see an upsurge

there is a fractious history between haiti and the united states. president trump supported jovenel moise. president biden allowed him to continue his presidency, if you like. does this change the situation and the relationship between the us? well, i think it has — it has certainly gotten the attention of the united states, whereas they were sort of hoping that they could just getjovenel through to an election that would look like a real election, that might actually be one — although most of us doubted that. they hoped that that could happen, even with this guy who was really not an effective executive or leader of his country. but now, of course, they can't rely onjovenel to sort of shepherd through a seeming election and now they're stuck and they don't know what to do, so that's gonna be hard for the us and the international community in general — the un, the organization of american states, et cetera. you mentioned the un — this request has gone to the un for security forces to be deployed to haiti. do we expect to see international fo

welcome to the the president of haiti. hello, moiz has been assassinated at his residence by a group of armed attackers. the country's 1st lady was also shot an injured he was hospitalized, but as we understand, she is currently being lifted to miami for treatment. now what we can show you here is unverified video that allegedly captures the very moment when the attackers storm the presidential compound. at night, the presidential office has insinuated that the job was orchestrated with the help of foreign mercenaries. now following the assassination the haitian military, establish nationwide marshalls law. this will last until july 22nd. the army is patrolling roads to ensure compliance and the countries borders have been closed. here's the latest report with correspondent caleb boffin. while the prime minister of haiti is calling for call, and at this point we understand, marshall law has been declared. the military is out on the streets. everyone is bracing for widespread on rest. we didn't identify the group. they spok

well, president biden visited little haiti and promised to turn things around for haiti. i'm a firm believer the president will deliver on his promise. he does deliver on his promises. haitians want action. they want action now. unfortunately things can't go as fast. but for the election portion, recently the oes was down in haiti and they recommended an election to happen. that is the way to democracy. but with the current situation when you're look at covid-19, when you're looking at the resources and the insecurity there is no possible path forward for a referendum election to happen because nobody would participate. so, what the u.s. could do is help move things along and change policy towards haiti. that has to happen. >> you know and having lived in florida, whenever there's a crisis in haiti, it metastasized into a migration crisis. and the jeb bush government was challenging enough, but jeb bush at least had some sort of relationship with the people in haiti and had his favorite candidates with folks who run for president. now we're dealing with desantis, which ha

haiti's history is a story of revolution. haiti was once a french colony. it was one of the wealthiest colonies in the french empire. plantations produced coffee, sugar and indigo at the cost of immeasurable human suffering. the slave trade was the most brutal in the world. the independence of haiti from france in 1804 making haiti the first modern state to abolish slavery. three years before great britain did. one massive outcome, the part republicans want scrubbed from the textbooks is that the revolution is why the french abandoned its plan to expand in the americas. transaction known as the louisiana purchase. haiti went onto experience tremendous internal turmoil and a toxic relationship with the west from having to pay enormous reparations to france for over throwing the slave owners. the u.s. helped to sustain the dictators who ruled haiti for nearly 30 years before the first democratic elect president in 1990. the history of dictatorship has culminated in the assassination of haiti's latest head of state. we're now seeing a revolutionary style socie

i mean, how powerful are oligarchy in haiti? the oligarch in haiti are powerful in the past. they have been connected to 2 political violence. so that is certainly a possibility. one of the things that makes this so complicated, and he though, is that there are lots of groups that have both a motive to go after president luis and demonstrated capacity to inflict violence. that includes drug traffickers in money wanders. president weaver was implicated in both he and his government have also been linked with gangs that have been carrying out massacres, that supported government policy. some of those gangs have recently announced that they were turning on president bullies. so that's possibility. there is also been a lot of a lot of friction within president wes's p h t k party. and many people in that party have a history and political violence. so there are a lot of possibilities. and so far i haven't seen any information that conclusively points to either to or away from any particular party president, we was accused of cleaning on to power and we know the opposition said th

marcha. >> autoridades en haití dicen que arrestaron a presuntos sospechosos del magnicidio. mientras que el gran temor es que el país se suma en una violencia peor por el gran vacío de poder la nueva legislatura no ha sido electa, y el presidente de la corte suprema que podía ocupar el cargo murió de covid-19. >> gracias, cristina. en estados unidos a partir de hoy se detuvo oficialmente la búsqueda sobrevivientes del edificio colapsado en florida. autoridades informaron que han recuperado 50 y cuatro cadáveres, y de ahora en adelante el operativo será de recuperación de cuerpos. vamos con rogelio que se encuentra en la zona. >> significa que las esperanzas de encontrar vida entre los escombros se han evaporado. una decisión difícil y dolorosa de acuerdo a lo dicho por la alcaldesa decondado miami-dade, que además ha rendido un homenaje muy sentido a los rescatistas. dice que han respirado humo, han estado cerca del fuego, y han estado trabajando bajo la lluvia en condiciones difíciles, y a pesar de eso no se rendían. las esperanzas para conseguir a un sobrevivi

>> this is a very dangerous moment for haiti. my personal hope is that what we will get is a governmenof national unity that could take over and set the situation whereby elections would be possible, not immediately but probably next year, and where there would be some sort of reconciliation between all of the different actors. now, whether we can get there is the big question. the opposition has shown no inclination to really join with the government of jovenel moise, but jovenel moise's presidency is gone, so in a tragic way, this might be an opening for such a compromise, but we will have to see, and we will have to see also whether the current prime minister is, in fact, going to remain in that position. >> reporter: there have been a lot of hatians who have been disappointed in the stance of the biden administration toward haiti. what role do you see the u.s. potentially playing now after this assassination? >> well, personally, i think that the most important thing is to try to get a haitian solution. so if the biden admini

the people of haiti are complex. i would say, though, the opposition, their focus on democracy would be at the bottom of the pole. looking at haiti as a country, obviously, the international community, its involvement, it has been there so many times before. does it have a role to play now? it seems that every time the international community gets involved with haiti, they make things worse. i think the big preoccupation and haiti among haitians now is that this creates a vacuum of political authority of security. even before this happened, you had splits in the police, parliament is defunct with only a couple of senators left — covid recently. you essentially have two prime ministers — one that was about to be appointed and one that was stepping down. we have someone managing the state of things at the moment. the taliban advances, the government fights to gain control. central london has been rocked by a series of terrorist attacks. police say there have been many casualties, and there is growing speculation th

abc's marcus moore in haiti again tonight. >> reporter: tonight, in a deepening mystery in haiti, authorities pointing the finger at this man, haitian dr. christian sanon, who lives in miami and is now accused of playing a key role in the assassination of president jovenel moise. sanon has long been a critic of the haitian government, recording this video in 2011. >> where is the leadership of haiti? nowhere to be found. you know why? because they're corrupt. >> reporter: tonight, he is behind bars in port-au-prince. we tried to see him today at the jail. we're here to see sanon. but we were told to turn our camera off and that visitors weren't allowed. haiti's chief of police says sanon wanted to take over the government. that he came to haiti on a private plane in june and he had contracted with a venezuelan security company to enlist the services of some of the 19 colombian men now under arrest. authorities raided his home in port-au-prince and say they found guns, ammunition and shooting targets. but so many questions remain about sanon's alleged involvement. tonight, the flags here still

he says that in the past, international involvement hasn't always been beneficial to haiti. i think, i mean, the intervention only recently ended right. the minister mission, who had that had been for almost 1314 years in haiti on a peacekeeping mission was withdrawn. and i think that the un level and the u. s. level, there's probably not much appetite for returning to something that, as you know, clearly not worked in the past. the thing about these interventions is that they are part of the reason why we're in the situation now. they've added to an instability in certain ways. they are one of the reasons why there's been such an increase in armament. there are other simpler things that other countries can do, the us a lot, most of the fire power, or a lot of firepower that's going to these games is being exported from the united states. so, limiting that, that spread of weaponry would be one very clear and influential thing that get better at the lives of patients. i guess something to say about the intervention is that it's convenient for certain kinds of patient politica

now haiti is in a state of unrest 2 days after the president was assassinated. and we now understand that local officials are calling for the united states to send its forces into the country to contain the unrest and to protect the infrastructure of the country. the ports, as well as the airports and the natural gas and, and petroleum reserves. so at this point, it's not clear. if the united states will actually send troops in, there will be law enforcement officials dispatched to the country to help get to the bottom of who assassinated the president. this is what we heard from gen saki, the white house spokesperson. the united states remains engaged and enclosed consultations with our haitian and international partners to support the haitian people in the aftermath of the assassination of the president and response to the haitian governments request for security and investigative assistance, we will be sending senior s t i n t h. officials to port or print to assist. now it's also important to note that we now have the haitian prime minister calling on the un

haiti's chief of police says he wanted to take over the government, that he came to haiti on a private plane in june and he had contracted with a venezuelan security company to enlist the services of the 19 colombian man under arrest. authorities raided his home and say they found guns, ammunition and shooting targets. but so many questions remain about his alleged involvement. tonight, the flags here still at half staff, even as people start to venture out of their homes again. and while it seems that life is getting back to some bit of normalcy here in port-au-prince, there are concerns about safety. a nor or the use gang leader calling on his followers to take to the streets violently in protest. but the prime minister here urging people to stay calm. he is also pleadig with the u.s. to send troops to help keep order. president biden so far not willing to do that. >>the people of haiti deserve security. authorities need to come together for the good of their country. >> and marcus, president biden sending the fbi to haiti. they're reporting back to the white house. >> >> reporter: d
