a global surge in coronavirus cases forces some countries to reimpose their lock down restrictions the death toll from unrest in ethiopia nearly doubles to 166 after the killing of a popular singer. and exit polls show caray shows ruling party leading in the parliamentary election amid a recession and the coronavirus pandemic. thanks for joining us iran's atomic energy organization has revealed that friday's fire at the next hons nuclear facility has caused significant damage a spokesman said the fire could slow down development on production of advanced centrifuges and that iran would replace the damaged building with a bigger one that had more advanced equipment another fire broke out at

a power station in southwest iran on saturday knocking out electricity in the city of. well iran's parliament before minister was heckled and called a liar during a speech outlining the president's foreign and economic policies. jeffard zarif was briefing parliament and defending the government he was interrupted several times that one politician even chanted death to the liar $200.00 m.p.'s have also tabled a motion to question the president himself has said we're honey let's bring in s.f. bay he's joining us from tehran to 1st discuss the announcements about the net facility how significant is it well significant in the sense that we're beginning to have an understanding of the extent of the damage has caused like the financial impact now the head of the iran's atomic

energy organization he now he made these comments when he was meeting the national security and foreign policy commission and he said that the financial damage was considerable but he also said that the investigation and its findings would be released soon i previously we had heard that those findings were being held back because of security issues which further fueled suspicions and rumors inside and outside the country we've also had the spokesperson from iran's atomic energy organization say that that this incident could slow down some of the production of advanced centrifuges but he went on to say that iran compensate for this by increasing capacity now that's a political statement that's a political statement for those that are looking at iran's nuclear program and what it says to them that incidents such as this won't slow iran down in fact it will encourage iran to work harder and that nothing can slow down iran's nuclear program and that's why he made that statement for people inside but also outside the country and so that just sounds like there are difficult times for iran's

government what is the background to the antipathy that was faced by the foreign minister himself in parliament. well he was heckled interrupted and called a liar and that's because the parliament is a conservative parliament now this was voted in this year in what was one of the record lows turnouts this country has seen since the revolution 41 years ago and it's the most conservative parliament we've seen for 41 years now the conservatives have made no secret about the fact that they're not onboard with the nuclear deal they don't like how it was handled by the moderate president and he's don't want and that's why there was so. reef today because they don't think that this has benefited iran in fact they think iran has come off worse than iran has actually gained anything from this but. did try to defend himself and his government's policy said on the international diplomatic front the united states was

increasingly isolated and that the security council was on board with the nuclear deal and want to preserve it right to us had big reporting from tehran i said thank you. now more governments around the world are being forced to reimpose coronavirus restrictions ofter easing national lockdowns to boost battered economies so mexico has reported more than $30000.00 deaths making it the 5th hardest hit country ahead affronts shops in the capital have been ordered to close this just days after reopening israel has ordered thousands of people into quarantine after its contentious phone surveillance program resumed and it's now reporting around 1000 new cases a day that's a significant uptick after restrictions were eased last month and factions have spiked in the philippines as well which reported

a daily record high of $2434.00 cases that was on sunday and the health ministry blamed the spike on increased contact among people as lock down measures started easing at the beginning of june let's take a closer look at the situation now in latin america in particular let's bring in alison or a pity he's joining us from colombia and specifically on mexico how is applying to combat the rising number of cases. well there in that's the big question here a lot of people in mexico are starting to criticize the president their love its over a door for not having imposed a national choir and team in favor of a more flexible approach insisting on the need of keeping the economy open while the number of cases of kept rising there's also been an issue there with it with health tell authorities given the fact that weeks ago they had said that

mexico was close to reaching a pico had already reached the peak and instead we see the numbers going up and as you said of the expected reopening had been reversed and now although they are saying that this is just a pause in that they plan to continue planning to reopen the economy there and what's the situation in colombia where you are. well colombia like other countries in the regions instead have imposed quite strict quarantine at the beginning of the pandemic they had been relatively successful in controlling the spread but since the reopening started the now almost a month ago we've seen an uptick in cases and hospitalizations now here in the capital. 80 percent of intensive care units are full so there is a war you can see doing how the numbers are going up with that things could get

very problematic in the next couple of weeks and i'll tell you these are now especially worried that what's happening in the coast in the caribbean coast and particularly in the city. and the state of atlantic could there that has almost double the number of deaths compared to bogota even if it's just a 3rd of the population and alternatives are also worried by the fact that there could be some serious on the reporting in the number of deaths especially people in rural areas that are dying in their homes and never getting tested all right on a sunday and patty reporting from colombia thank you. well south africa now has the most number of corona virus cases on the african continent the daily tally from saturday showed more than 10000 new infections the highest daily jump so far hospitals across the country have come under pressure as beds quickly fella there's

been a steady increase in cases since restrictions gradually ease than may health care workers have criticized the government's handling of the pandemic saying their safety has not been prioritized. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says israel is in need of stricter measures to tackle the surging coronavirus cases officials are recording nearly a 1000 new cases every day the government has reauthorized the use of controversial phone surveillance technology once the ploy to prevent attacks are a force that is in west jerusalem with more. and this is the time that the internal security service in his religion that has been sanctioned to. monitor people's phones this isn't some absolute you voluntarily download this is the security services monitoring where people are being who they've been associating with and then sending them a text message to tell them to quarantine it it's assessed that they need to do so

now this is through out the use of this tactic it has caused some outrage from human rights groups liberty groups but it has been deemed necessary to be put in place again he writes newspaper has reported that some 30000 people have received such text messages since this began again on thursday and those who have some doubt over it want to korea to repeal it they are finding it very difficult to get through to the ministry of health hotline which is being swamped with such calls as well as that there are further measures that are coming in to force 50 people maximum in places of worship in bars and in events spaces things like weddings and there are further measures under consideration the cabinet has been meeting today and there are things such as restaurants and other attention moves the trouble for the israeli government though is that they obviously don't want to fully reimpose

lock down for economic reasons netanyahu did say if the cases got back up to 100 a day he would reimpose lock down well now there are a 1000 today and he still seems unwilling to do so. the number of people who have died in ethiopia since the killing of a popular singer and activist has nearly doubled to 160 secs officials blamed the deaths on the response to the unrest by security forces and on enter ethnic violence singer hutch on the one desk i was a member of if your peers largest ethnic group they are romo he was shot dead an address of about on monday night our all is an analyst on the horn of africa and says they are arrest raises questions of the prime minister his handling of the situation the prime minister's it's a huge hour. a huge on the part of the almost of course to other italy groups because you nearly miss my neatly transitional process he made everything about. his mind it's we're going to power was to beautiful consensus and promote

consolation here to do if you will that there was no discussion of political settlement for the country where that is one of the major cities that the country is in such a diverse views about why don't you get really as a country and we need to move there for the best people in the country to have it common harmonious future there is no discussion. boards were not heritage to the prime minister because we wanted to recreate the country he's all in it and i think that is where the problem lies. still to come on al-jazeera we gain exclusive access to iranian backed khattab has a group accused by the u.s. government of attacking its forces plus. i'm going to hell with a herd of llamas in a field in reading the fight against covert 19 has come to this.

scotland ireland and wales but parts of it should be dry at least as we go on through choose day elsewhere western posit she's seen some good spells of sunshine as is the case across northern africa more very hot sunshine coming through here could still get up around 38 celsius in cairo plenty of showers once again across the heart of africa into the gulf of guinea those showers a stand in the way across a good part of west africa and not in the way towards the gambia. al jazeera explores prominent figures of the 20th century and how rivalries influenced the course of history steve jobs for much better marketeers land bill gates which after all is going to reinvent the phone bill made software what it is today will change the world to high tech visionaries whose breakthroughs inspired a digital revolution jobs and gates face to face on al-jazeera.

the. problem again the top stories on al jazeera iran's atomic energy organization has announced friday's fire at natanz nuclear facility has cost significant damage the fire could slow down to iran's development and production of advanced centrifuges and after reporting record new cases for several days the coronavirus death toll in mexico has now passed 30000 some restrictions are being reimposed in the capital mexico city. the number of people who have died in ethiopia since the killing of

have to go into a coalition with the. movement which is the far left far right party but it seems like if this trend continues that that will be able to form the government by their own and the prime minister under a plane which will continue what he was doing for the past 4 years antonio how was the coronavirus pandemic affected turnout during this election. well it did affect this election but it doesn't cannot be said that it actually. affected very badly this turnout because this turnout was almost the same as the turnout 4 years ago where there was no corona virus so maybe we don't have the total turnout yet but by the 6 o'clock today it was like 34 percent of the voters almost exactly the same as 4 years ago so this might be the result maybe of

the overwhelming apathy of creation voters in the past 2 to 3 cycles rather than the coronavirus. crisis to go. ok thank you for that updates from. now airstrikes have targeted a libyan air base that was recaptured in may by the u.n. recognize government with the backing of turkish forces be attacked. by an identified aircraft on the base happened overnight the loss of the facility was among a string of recent defeats for warlord khalifa haftar pushing him out of florida parts of western libya half that launched an offensive to seize the libyan capital on april 29th seen what i've been washed head has more from tripoli. restrikes by an identified warplanes but the government here in tripoli especially

groups that operate outside the law but days later those detained had walked free. to fulton gains exclusive access to the base that was raided. we're about to get a rare glimpse into the most secretive armed group under iraq's popular mobilization forces brigade 45 better known as. this is the 1st time journalists have been allowed into one of its military bases. is nominally incorporated into iraq's security apparatus but has been accused of acting outside the formal chain of command al-jazeera gained exclusive access to dislocation in southern baghdad after it was raided by iraq's counterterrorism forces the iraqi government says it had been tipped off that a rocket was about to be launched from dismissal of it towards the green zone where u.s. and other diplomatic missions are based 14 people were arrested and several weapons

seized but the group says the raid was illegal carried out without an arrest warrant. on which they have evidence for the segregation they can show it to the people but here there are no missiles and launching pads the space has been here since 2015 we have a formal letter from baghdad operations command this base is used for logistical support this was once a farm that belonged to saddam hussein's government after 2003 it was taken over by al qaida and bombed during the sectarian conflict during our visit we didn't see flags or signs marking it as an official facility belonging to the popular mobilization forces and none of the soldiers were insignia or as it was. the pm if is being targeted so we didn't keep the flags because the surveillance drones are always flying around here. our visit was tightly controlled free fighters were allowed to speak on camera under the condition they hide their faces and withhold

their names they admitted they're not just part of the popular mobilization forces but also the so-called islamic resistance which fought u.s. troops in the wake of the 2003 invasion they still regard america's presence in iraq today as an occupation and aggressive up in the near we are both at the same time the resistance and the popular mobilization forces the resistance was formed before the popular mobilization forces it for the occupiers after 2003 and expelled them in 2011 to this day the resistance groups are standing against occupation. the u.s. has previously bombed positions in iraq and has pressured the iraqi government to take action the raid on this base was an unprecedented move by the iraqi government against groups that the u.s. has accused of targeting its forces prime minister mr carbury has promised to restrict weapons in the hands of the state but the backlash against this operation shows just how difficult it is to deliver on those promises.

the night of the raid a convoy of pickup trucks with heavily armed men breached a fortified green zone to demand the release of the 14 people detained hours earlier the government yielded handing them over to the popular mobilization forces which equated them they slater to type hezbollah released images showing its fighters as they stepped on the prime minister's picture and burned the american and israeli flags their interviews were broadcast on. own channel it was all to deliver a stern message to iraq's prime minister. the prime minister has totally failed and he has to understand a few relies on the americans rather than the iraqi people he will fail and if he continues this way he will show his cards as an agent of the americans and that he serves the americans more than his homeland a government spokesperson says one of the 14 detainees remains in custody but has

not provided details of the government's response has left many questions on answered and has raised doubts on whether the prime minister is able to confront powerful groups like. al jazeera but that at least $34.00 people are believed to have been killed in southern japan as to rancho rain and severe flooding continues across several asian countries nearly half of the victims in the kamamoto region were in a nursing home sara hire us reports. it's a challenging tolls for these emergency workers and set in japan the risk of more one slides is high on the island. a trail of destruction can be seen from the air there is more trench rain and severe flooding in the way the phone calls for the next few days weather conditions are hampering rescue efforts in the west hit areas . after those killed or missing since sunday had been living in elderly care homes

. and out of the cooma river best its banks transporting people to safety by boat is a difficult and dangerous job on sunday prime minister sets up a special toss force to tackle the crisis and is deployed 40000 military personnel to help with the rescue efforts 30 you know people in the area are required to continue to be on maximum alert with regards to self defense forces police prepared to dispatch 10000 personnel for further emergency support please do this that you are able to respond swiftly and adequately. 75000 people have been want to leave the head of the floods japan's meteorological agency says the rainfall is the worst it has every quoted in the region in china people are bracing themselves for more flooding weeks in some of the heaviest rains seen in decades has killed more than 100 people millions of lives homes and businesses have been affected especially in

the south so also. we have disposable 50 people to help clean water we have also this. area are severely affected by the floods we are now making all over force to prevent further flooding from water draining into urban areas. and these times along the water in india's financial capital mumbai all dangerously close to being flooded july is usually the wettest month during the monsoon season but this year nearly a months worth of rain is falling in just the past 5 days. more than a 1000000 people have been affected by flooding in northeastern india many of them have lost their homes why is that not allowed to be the water level is increasing over here fishing is also there and so we don't want any loss of life that is why we request the authorities to come here and see what is going on and most is not. across asia and the agency service is an even stranger also dealing with a coronavirus pandemic and with more rain expected in some areas the coming few

days may prove even more difficult said afraid of. scientists around the world are searching for effective treatments to combat the corona virus in the u.k. some experts have turned toward her to flarm us to provide very small antibodies which they believe could neutralize the virus john holl explains what does a herd of lamas have to do with covert 19 it's not the start of a joke but it could be the route to a cure bonnie jones looks after the animals welfare have suddenly we have 20 we have sports we have alfie. the one sitting down. and me to the star of this particular show fifi is the 1st on the university's farm that we've used in the research. and other species such as camels

and our packers produce specialized small antibodies different to what you and i produce so what we do is we introduce a dead or small. protein into the llamas and they produce a natural body response so their small antibodies that bind on to the proteins that we introduce these pictures from a similar trial with alpacas in germany showed nobody's binding with the corona virus protein spike the covert virus is kind of a round virus that's got lots of spikes on it and these spikes we think are the things that latch onto our cells and infect us so the idea is maybe if we produce a nano body that combined onto those spikes or lots of those spikes we can prevent the virus from attaching to our cells and in that way prevent infections so the fight against the corona virus has come to this lumbers in an english field it's not as unlikely as you might think the 1st llama derived drug was produced last

year for the treatment of a real blood disease and that's triggered real optimism about similar treatments for a range of cancers for alzheimer's and dementia and also now course for coated 90. the daily pace of life is slow and so to the pace of scientific research but already there are promising results with the possibility of human trials in a year using lama nobody's to neutralize the coronavirus jonah hole al-jazeera reading. hello again the headlines on al-jazeera iran's atomic energy organization has revealed that friday's fire at the natanz nuclear facility has caused significant damage the fire could slow down to ron's development and production of advanced centrifuges but officials say iran will replace the damaged building with a bigger one that has more advanced equipment in the past week several sensitive

for all. purposes. coded 19 is changing the world as we know it. when infections sold earlier this year governments worldwide implemented strict social distancing measures that have slowed the global economy dramatically so far they've been more than half a 1000000 deaths with 10000000 people infected worldwide but the huge financial cost of the pandemic has forced many countries to ease restrictions and reopen their economies. the united kingdom one of the world's largest economies has among

the highest cope with 19 infection and death rates. british scientists like many others of working around the flaw.
