but didn't have to the dominican republic was the only other countries to vote for it well it's a diplomatic test of the it just demonstrates that president trump and his team are not only bad at the strategy of approaching iran they're bad at just the day to day tactics of diplomacy it is unconscionable that they couldn't round up more than one vote for a resolution like this the u.s. has threatened to trigger the return of all international sanctions on iran through a snapback provision written into the nuclear deal but other members of the security council say the u.s. lost the right to do that when it withdrew from the deal 2 years ago europeans are warning of adverse consequences for the security council if a legal dispute over snapback ensues for them preventing iran from getting a nuclear weapon remains paramount kristen salumi al-jazeera the united nations. iran's president hassan rouhani described the outcome of the u.n.

security council vote as a humiliating defeat for the u.s. better yeah barely embody the us has worked for months to prepare a resolution to his iran and it could only get one vote supporting it from a small country the dominican republic you see how they've been humiliated the reason 11 countries abstained into voted against it was because they believe the preservation of the j c p o a is essential for the interests of the region and the world yesterday was a political achievement for iran and a political failure for the u.s. . meanwhile the u.s. department of justice says it seized iranian fuel from 4 tankers headed to venezuela both iran and venezuela are under u.s. sanctions laura burton manoli has more. the u.s. is calling it the largest seizure of fuel from iran its incepted for tank is carrying more than a 1000000 barrels of oil to venezuela after winning a federal court order last month where for tankers they're going to use them and

they're there. they're not supposed to be doing that or arms are supposed to be doing that and so we did we see the tankers and we're moving them and moved to euston but iran says the liberian flag ships have nothing to do with them it accuses the us of lies and psychological warfare 0.09 with a number of no right now there's nothing planned because we haven't had a request from our venezuelan friends as they are reactivating their own refineries u.s. officials are experts in fabricating lies and carrying out shows in the media the details of the capture. when the seizure or do is produce more than a month ago all of the ships turned off the tracking devices seemingly not wanting to be found but what's certain is that trump is running up his campaign against iran in venezuela at sea the public documents suggest that the united states negotiated with the owners operators of those 4 tankers and

a range peaceably and agreeably for the transfer of the iranian oil refined oil headed to venezuela to other ships those ships are the ones that the president indicated have arrived in u.s. waters or about to arrive in u.s. waters that its way into has become increasingly more aligned to an oil from iran at a previously received shipments in may and june although venezuela sits a one the world's largest crude oil reserves it unable to refine its u.s. sanctions corruption and a lack of investment is blamed for the decline of its oil industry the united states hasn't done a set too much to date actually seize the oil but the united states has a policy of. trying to drive iranian oil exports to 0 they've frozen iranian revenues from from previous sales so in effect that was confiscating it and yes this does ratchet it up another step venezuela and iran act isn't defiance of u.s.

sanctions for now this season at sea appears to stop much easy trade between the allies as a manly out to 0 protestors in lebanon have been calling for an independent international investigation into the beirut port blast that killed more than 200 people 2 weeks ago but the hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah says he wouldn't trust the findings of such an inquiry but he missed and. they haven't hezbollah who will not be conducting an investigation or making accusations we will wait for the official lebanese investigation but if the f.b.i. is participating in israel is related to the attack you will not be able to reach anything if lebanon accepts an international investigation the 1st objective of such investigation will be to absolve israel from any responsibility for the explosion if it is responsible. well much of the focus in lebanon is now on

rebuilding both a damaged city and a damaged economy the u.n. and the aid organizations have just launched a $565000000.00 appeal for help estimated costs of recovery in beirut go as high as $15000000000.00 the u.n. says 6 hospitals 20 clinics and $120.00 schools were damaged lebanon was already under serious economic strain before the blast inflation was soaring and the cost of basic goods was rising too now its health system is facing added pressure at a time of a global pandemic the u.n. says half of the qubit $19.00 infections there were diagnosed in the past 2 weeks alone. is the un resident and humanitarian coordinator for lebanon she explains what's being done to help with the recovery right now. into phase one we have to made saying to component there is there there life saving humanitarian relief and that's was last week and we started this week really putting together or what is needed for the early recovery for the reconstruction this is this is there are

number of structures are 2 issues that we need to address which i'm not only related to needs and the impact of the blast but also some gaps in times of infrastructure in terms of social services you address of course the government is a huge is related to corruption i don't so a number of all 3 crimes related to a fine and a system their reasons are and ongoing that much needs assessment and we should be able to have a clear idea of the needs by the 20th of august based on that they will be parties ation of the different of the different rico structure and restore ration there will be airing a mix between recalls fraction and we still ration but we are not talking only about the reconstruction the physical reconstruction of the infrastructure it's also related to social protection social safety nets to access to electricity to access to water it's access to housing so the result

a lot of that needs to be addressed and obviously are why at the working level who are also working with some of the ministries at these those who are involved it is very much an independent assessment that is going on. plenty more still to come here on al-jazeera including thousands of u.k. travelers scramble to get home as more countries added to the u.k.'s quarantine list. and violent demonstrations in ivory coast to protest the president's decision to seek a 3rd term. however it is still raining in the korean peninsula a bit further north than before in fact the seasonal rain now is this line here has given significant rain to beijing it's about to give to more some more to north

korea probably a lot of us talk and we might just come across the border into so that it stretches straight ahead towards northern honshu for monday the break in it and you get more developing in northern china and stretching back down towards the west which means the bulk of china actually so humid is fairly dry hong kong does include it's fairly sherry in hong kong the monsoon rain in india now is pretty widespread has been concentrating in the last day or 2 in the west so we've got 325 members about a quarter of what you might expect to fall about. but there's more to come i think that the focus is going to be further east in bihar or just counsel that is a circulation in west bengal seems quite large develop and is not good use for bangladesh either because it on shore breeze means you're picking up the water as well as producing showers us picture for india pakistan and bangladesh next couple of days your nerves even in south pakistan there is a chance of yet more right than we've had flooding in karate already this season

maybe there's more to come. frank assessments what are you seeing back in yemen 60 percent of the new poll relation life is being sued this is an informed opinion is ethiopia on the verge of breakdown many parts of the omeo region are actually under a de facto state of emergency and critical debate of that is a proxy because not the present the enters the bill of your people in-depth analysis of the day's global headlines inside story on al-jazeera.

you're watching al-jazeera a reminder of our top stories so far today the president of below us alexander lukashenko is resisting calls to step down as thousands rally in minsk for a new day of protests the continued demands for political change comes a funeral is held for the man killed during days of unrest following the disputed election. in iran will be able to start buying conventional weapons again in october after the u.n. security council overwhelmingly rejected washington's bid to indefinitely extend an arms embargo on tehran iran's president says its circulation for the united states . the u.n. has launched a $500000000.00 aid appeal to help with the port explosion recovery efforts and be roots level was already under severe economic strain well before the blast. russia says it's begun making its new vaccine against curve with 19 and initial batches

will be rolled out within 2 weeks doctors will be the 1st to be immunized before the general public become a layer institutes which is developed the drug says it will produce $5000000.00 doses by december russia's coronavirus vaccine said to be the 1st approved in the world is raising concerns about safety the largest wholesale food market in china's capital has reopened 2 months after it was shut down following a break of corona virus cases since june more than 330 cases have been linked to a cluster of infections traced back to the fatty market the last patients connected to the outbreak were discharged from hospital this month. for the 1st time in 6 months passengers from mainland china are being allowed to transit through hong kong's international airport the city is gradually relaxing as virus travel restrictions it's a much needed boost to the flagship carrier there cathay pacific on wednesday the airline reported a loss of more than a $1000000000.00 british tourists have been scrambling to return home after the

u.k. imposed a 14 day quarantine on travelers coming back from the netherlands france and malta the measure which went into effect early on saturday morning 4 am was introduced after a surge in corona virus infections in those countries france is a popular vacation and holiday spot for british holidaymakers it's the 2nd most visited country for them after spain. correspondent rory chalons joins us now from london st pancras international train station so rory roughly do we know how many people made it back in time. it's difficult to put exact figures on it the estimate is that perhaps on 160000 brits were over in france this week how many of them change their plans for town for expensive plane ferry or train tickets and came back early we don't know but

certainly in the thousands perhaps in the 10s of thousands. there's been all the kind of questionable french and bad puns the you might expect from the british media scramble mad dash mysie mission the deadline 3 g.m.t. this morning and they're being accounts of ferries that were coming across from fonts. just make that deadline in time what counts as being back in the u.k. is it being back in the u.k. waters or does the ferry actually have to dock and disembark well from what we know now the ferry does actually have to dock to count as being a home but there is a lot of anger i think in this country that yet again there seems to have been a travel debacle and that so many people were given such a short amount of time betty more than 24 hours about 30 hours i think between the announcement that france would be put on the court and seen lists and that deadline actually being posed and if people missed the deadline or they chose not to hit the

deadline that could have a knock on effect because if they come back over the next week or 10 days anyway that could compromise their children going back to school because that's such a big issue in the u.k. just now as well. yeah absolutely the the start of the school year is not so far away it depends on where abouts in the u.k. in. and what private education or education but yeah the start the new school year is is coming soon and so for families that have either missed the deadline or chosen to stay out in in france or the netherlands or the other countries coming back in the next week means that 2 weeks 14 days of coron is probably going to push them into the start of the new school year and their children. have to miss the beginning of school there's also happens for people who are coming back not being

able to go to work again because going on holiday is not a god given rights. some employer. you know this issue has been rumbling for a few weeks now it was always a risk that if you went away you might get stuck in a situation why should we have to pay your salary for your core and same taking on paid leave for that so that's another issue that's going to be hitting people who've missed the deadline ok many things are a challenge the reporting live from london. well peru is one of latin america's worst hit countries the health system has been pushed close to breaking point coronavirus cases have sought now doctors at the national children's hospital are raising the alarm over a small scale but worrying new outbreak here's john heilemann show. some of the latest tiny. crew of the national children's hospital some board. the country's case and death for 8 are among the highest in the world and while

they're still very few of the seriously you did this young the number did begin rising in july and that's worrying doctors. and also. we have seen a 2030 percent increase in the numbers of children hospitalized and in the intensive care unit. dr franklin mendoza blames it on one thing or the. parents' behavior leaving children to play together in parks in shopping malls or family visits that's what's leading the increase in infections among children. serious kovi cases among children are still very far from widespread the most of those here already had other medical complications. as in other countries the virus is affecting children is different from the symptoms shown by older sufferers. it's not the same as the adult

infection which causes lack of breath after about a month they've been developing pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome which affects several organs especially their heart. the staff are doing their best to help them learning new techniques as they go it's tough for them to whom we don't know it's really painful having to submit a little one to him to beijing or a ventilator or we know we have to do it because if not the patient could die. and scenes like this make it worth it. that. i'm so grateful to you for taking care of my baby i want to thank you thank you thank you so much god bless you and. the team here are hoping that this sudden increase in cases doesn't go on and that there will be more patients heading now than into their unit john homan 000 us watchdog is investigating the nation's postal service which has warned it

might not be able to deal with the big number of mail and ballots in the elections in early november the postmaster general who we did joy who is a donald trump supporter denies allegations of intentionally slowing down the postal service as expected to be a huge rise in mail in voting as a result of the pandemic president trump has tried to restrict the message because he claims it is susceptible to fraud mike hanna has more now from washington. last week democrats in congress wrote a letter to the inspector general asking him to take a look at the situation within the postal service now that has been dire indeed in recent months there have been all sorts of problems in the postal service there's been a 10 percent reduction in letter sorting machines there's been delays of up to a week in postage and this all follows the appointment of louise detroit a close friend and confidante of president trump as postmaster general so it's likely that this investigation by the inspector general is going to look at the new

postmaster general who has fired a number of people in key positions he's reassigned to others so certainly it will focus on what he has done to reduce the level of the services of the post office now looking ahead as well of course it's going to play a key role in terms of mail in votes for the november election given the ongoing pandemic but in july the postal service sent a letter to 46 states including d.c. saying that it could not guarantee being able to turn around the postal votes to get them in time for the deadline in voting so this is a key issue and obviously the any problem within the postal service particularly one that may be allegedly manufactured is of grave concern to all within this country. the opposition in ivory coast is warning of more protests to denounce the president's decision to seek
