a growth industry we look at sweden's intricate farming operation within city walls . it also means they don't need pesticides so you can eat the project straight off the wall. welcome to the program mature fire caused a significant damage at its the town's nuclear facility its atomic energy organization says the blaze could slow development of centrifuges used to enrich uranium but iran's planning to update the facility with more advanced equipment as the reports. what exactly happened at the natanz nuclear facility last week it's a question people in iran and around the world have been asking since a fire was reported at iran's main uranium enrichment facility on thursday a fire incident like this at the centerpiece of the country's nuclear program is

easily a cause for global concern but iranian leaders downplay the incident latest satellite imagery however seems to show the scale of the damage whatever the cause is bigger than initial reports seemed to suggest on sunday the spokesman of the atomic energy organization of iran confirmed the seriousness of the matter speaking to state news he said enrichment activities continue but the damage was significant enough to slow some work at the facility this incident may create delays in the medium term plan for the development and production of advanced machines god willing we will compensate in such a way that the capacities at the site will be greater than before the natanz nuclear plant has been the target of cyber attacks in the past at the time iran blamed various western nations and israel iranian investigators say they know what caused the latest incident but cannot release details due to security concerns but military leaders have promised to retaliate if sabotage is confirmed. the incident at natanz happened just days after another explosion at

a military base where iran develops missiles on june 26th a gas tank explosion at the parchin military complex northeast of the capital caused a fireball so big some to her own residents could see it from their homes on june 30th a fire and explosion at a medical clinic in north to her own killed 19 people. on saturday a fire broke out at a power station in the western city of laws causing partial outages on the same day a chlorine gas leak at a petrochemical plant on the gulf coast injured 70 people these were likely just industrial accidents perhaps triggered by rising summer temperatures but the fire at the natanz nuclear complex happened in the backdrop of serious incidents that have rattled the country in recent weeks. iran's foreign minister has been heckled by members of parliament and called a liar during a speech outlining the president's foreign and economic policies.

it's a reef was briefing parliament and defending the government he was interrupted several times $200.00 m.p.'s have also table the motion to question president hassan rouhani saying his policies have led to the current economic crisis. well latin america is home to just 8 percent of the world's population but the region accounts for about half of all krone virus related deaths cases have tripled in just a month brazil and mexico are the worst affected nations leaders are being criticized for putting the economy ahead of people's lives india has reported 25000 new infections a daily record a more than 600 deaths and in iran while it's recorded its highest one day death toll and it's made wearing masks compulsory while countries are imposing restrictions again as cases surge kazakhstan and the capital of madagascar and are back under lockdown well an outbreak in the australian city of melbourne is

prompting the indefinite closure of the border between the 2 most populous states nicholas cage joins me now live from the capital can but it does seem that australia did seem to have the situation under control what seems to have happened to see this one president a precedent in action. that's right if we were having this discussion a few weeks ago it would have been a very different story because up until now a study has been extremely successful in suppressing this virus and shops of pain re-opening we've seen people allowed to gather in large numbers but in the city of melbourne in victoria that has led to a huge spike in cases once again and the sexual situation is escalating quite rapidly the premie of daniel andrews has just given up on numbers and says that 127 new cases have been recorded or even not on sunday that's the law just spike since

this pandemic began dozens are in hospital an elderly man died last night and to deal with dozens of sought the spacing strict social distancing measures once again and 3000 people a locked inside 9 public housing towers that means that no one is allowed in right now and no one is allowed out let's just focus it on those $3000.00 people they are with in specific suburbs of melbourne what are the authorities saying about the way the virus is being transmitted in these areas exactly so the reason why these towers have been targeted is that there have been a lot of cases coming from that area but there has been huge debate about the equality of this why should people only in these towers be locked up in this way and the rules not apply to everyone where there are cases coming from different areas as well these are public houses many people in they is.

don't speak english though they've been questioning as well there have been questions rather about whether some of those health misha's have been getting across the corporate like some people in the apartments there have said that they have don't even have some essential services but the government has said this is absolutely necessary to make sure that this does not spread payments have been handed out as well and include as well to people living in those apartments so i mean we're seeing border closures once again and these thought iris reappears so we'll just have to see they will be stuck in these towers for 5 days at least until the government reassesses the situation for the update thank you to gage our correspondent in canberra. now intensive care unit softening up in columbia's couple those cases and doctors are worried that many deaths are going on reported

on a sunday run p.m.t. reports from buckets on. coffins carrying the bodies of 19 victims arrive for cremation at this cemetery on the outskirts of. the recent increase in the number of deaths in the colombian capital has meant cremation service is tripled here in the last couple of weeks. it's a sad situation for the relatives who can't give their loved ones a proper goodbye. people are helpless they. entering the hospital 20 days before and never see them again until they meet in the closed coffin. sectors of the economy in june following a strict quarantine seems to be responsible for a sharp rise in hospitalizations. intensive care units are now 80 percent full in the national government ventilators to increase availability but

a lack of trained doctors means not all of them can be used at the same time and now authorities are worried by a sharp surge along caribbean coast soldiers and police in full protective gear or on the streets of the port city of. to enforce quarantine measures. the atlantic of provinces registered almost double the number of deaths compared to with only one 3rd of the population. authorities say here people have been more openly flouting social distancing rules holding parties in other gatherings and doctors fear some could be 1000 related deaths are not being reported. many patients dying at home or arriving at the hospital dead are not being included in the statistics but from feedback from families and clinics it is clear that the person died of corona virus and we are not reporting it. the sharp upturn in colombia still pales in comparison with some neighboring countries like brazil it

is very worrisome especially since health authorities say we're still weeks away from reaching the peak of infections and the government is excluding the return to stricter measures saying it's time to revive the country's battered economy leaving much of the responsibility in the hands of people wearing face masks and maintaining social distance a lesson that i'm just. limbers of double trouble own party campaigning against him just months out from the u.s. presidential election but the group of republicans say they draw the vote for his democratic rival to stop him getting back in power particle high possible. there's morning in america this viral ad put a new group called the lincoln project on the political map not because it has been viewed almost 3000000 times under the leadership of donald trump our country's weaker and sicker. this was an attack from members of the president's own party and

he responded by attacking them well after midnight on twitter their reaction. republican operative rick wilson is one of the founders of the group he says the ad did exactly what they wanted every day donald trump is distracted every day don't i was running around like a crazy person doing the things that he does with a tweet gets in his head read it says his campaign is not focusing on beating joe biden every day he's thinking about us is something about him with surprising speed the group turns around ads meant to get inside the president's head something's wrong with donald trump the shaky week speaking. hitting him on issues that he's made clear bother him like crowd size turnout in tulsa. his physical health we seem you're shaking. keep the polls up and it's getting worse and his handling of the coronavirus i don't think he was. but the group is also

airing ads praising former vice president joe biden and democratic senate candidates will also attacking republican senators up for reelection in richmond has a nice ring that's drawing criticism from other republicans but they're doing it not only opposed to re-election but to flip the senate to democratic majority control to say that you have to you know give the democrats control of the senate because you oppose trump. it makes no sense thank you but wilson says it's a kind of insurance policy you know we don't want to have a situation where donald trump if he does want to 2nd term has an easy route to continue to do things in this nationalist populous way that we think is a danger to the country and more republicans are joining his cause hundreds of alumni from the george bush administration have formed a group to try to help biden get elected. to trim campaign says it's further proof the establishment is working against them this is highly unusual members of

a political party turning against its old leader openly and in public. imagine how big the crowds will be when he's gone actively raising and spending money to see him defeated and their own political party completely out of power patty calling al jazeera toilet doll is a democratic political strategist and she says that while some of the g.o.p. establishment are unhappy at the president's actions in office he still enjoys high approval ratings amongst republican voters. the rank and file the base of the republican party is still with donald trump so there's a lot of uncertainty as to whether or not it's behind a significant impact on the election but i will say this from a democratic perception it definitely doesn't hurt and but i do think that what we're seeing from republicans is that via large 85 percent are sticking with him

that's actually higher than the numbers that george w. bush had in 2008 round this time so i think that it's really hard to say that it's going to have a significant impact at this point here's the problem that we're public and party again writ large has not helped donald trump accountable there has been and go after scandal and they have continued to not only stand by him but to actively help him defend against some pretty damning allegations of corruption and abuse of power the biggest check against both parties is the base of both parties the voters who put those elected officials into office in the u.s. and so what we've seen with the democratic party is that the democratic party has no problem telling democratic politicians hey get out we don't support you and not the fording the republican party on the other hand has shown no interest in accountability against the republican party so if you're a republican you see that you see that you can pretty much do almost anything in

your party is not in the voters in your party are not going to vote you out so unfortunately that's created a crisis of accountability in the united states. still ahead here on al-jazeera and their base outside the libyan capital is attacked by foreign forces backing all of 3 to have to. go down as they're against exclusive access to a group accused by the u.s. government of attacking its forces those stories after the break. how the weather remains very hard to cross central canada central and eastern parts of the u.s. and with the hate was a massive storms you can see the storm clouds spilling out a sketch of manitoba pushing down across the dakotas last a little system down towards the louisiana down towards the far south of the u.s.

reported but the ministry of defense at the government of national called in tripoli here says that this attack by planes is trying to send a message to try to disrupt what it calls the victory that has been achieved by the government forces helped by the military in specially taken control of western libya from forces loyal to the world really for have to although been protests against turkey's intervention in libya crowds have been garza's shouted slogans and kurd signs attacking the turkish president recipe for the one the eastern city is the stronghold of forces loyal to have to be divided between 2 rival administrations and several of the groups. on the 25th the iraqi government carried out a raid on her blog a group linked to iran accused of attacking u.s. forces there was

a test for prime minister mr occurred to me who promised to crack down on groups that operated outside the law but days later those detained had walked free al-jazeera is a beautiful teen gave exclusive access to the group based 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 celebration they can show it to the people but here there are no missiles and launching pads the spices bring you 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 a group. 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 most of them he 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 days later 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 and on what. the prime minister has totally failed and he has to understand if you reliance on the americans rather than the iraqi people he will fail and if he continues this way he will show as cowards as an agent of the americans and that he serves the americans more than his homeland the government spokesperson says one of the 14 detainees remains in

custody but has not provided details 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. somalia full team al-jazeera but the debt rescue workers are searching for survivors in japan after trench will rain triggered floods and mudslides at least 40 people are either confirmed dead roads and bridges have been washed away leaving many isolated communities cut off the heavy rains expected to last until tuesday afternoon evacuation efforts are being hampered by fears of spreading coronavirus israel's prime minister says stricter measures are needed to tackle a surgeon covert 19 then the a 1000 new infections are being reported every day the government authorized the use of a controversial surveillance technology to stop the spread false reports now from west jerusalem. and this is the time that the internal security service it is

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 it's newspaper reported that some 30000 people received such text messages since this began again on thursday and those who have some doubt over who want 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 potential moves the trouble for the israeli government 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. no the coronavirus crisis has just dropped in the global food supply chains leading to shortages in some countries the world bank holds that 130000000 people could be at risk of starvation but an increasingly popular urban farming system could provide the solution as paul weeks reports from the swedish capital stockholm. it's harvest time but not as we know it these very modern farm hands are bringing in the crops from

a vertical farm plants growing from the walls instead of the ground no tractors required just a pair of scissors and artificial intelligence senses that feed information on factors like speed of growth and nutrition content into a central database so that on this farm the computer is in charge the farm that you're seeing here everything is basically connected so all the part of me is that we have that have an influence on the growth of a plan for controlling that we're building are basically food brain to control everything by help of artificial intelligence and recreate the perth or. the mint basil kale and rocket to get everything they could ever desire light water humidity temperature tailored to their individual needs and without the risky business of growing out in nature anyone inside the farm has to wear a protective suit like this to stop bacteria coming in from outside it also means

they don't need pesticides so you can eat the produce straight off the wall. they taste better than the average supermarket solids and they're already being sold in local stores and restaurants in stockholm. and local means local the sweet green farm hidden under this building in an old newspaper archive is part of a program called a neighbor food it seems to give all urban swedes access to produce grown within yards of the door. the global movement in urban farming could play a vital role in preventing food crises. as covert 19 exposes weaknesses in the supply chain that have left people hungry everywhere from zimbabwe to the u.s. the climate crisis the epidemic ongoing right now has shown us how vulnerable we are in the cities we become very passive consumers we want to turn that around and where people start producing in the spaces that are otherwise empty those spaces below our buildings can be used for food production this farms so-called food brain

is available on subscription so any start ups can have their own environment controlled from here it could make vertical farming a growth industry that puts more food within easy reach at a time when it's most needed paul reese al-jazeera stock. geologist surveys the whole romney reminder of our top stories iran's energy organization is of knowledge the last week fire was a major nuclear facility cause significant damage that could slow down production of advanced centrifuges which are used to enrich uranium iran's foreign minister has been heckled by members of parliament and called a liar during a speech outlining the president's foreign and economic policies javid serif was interrupted several times $200.00 m.p.'s have also table the motion to question president hassan rouhani saying his policies have led to the current economic
