president takes no responsibility refuses to lead blames others cozies up to dictators and the flames of 8 and division joe biden accept the democratic nomination for the us presidency with a blistering attack on the man he wants to replace. if you entrust me with the presidency i will draw on the best of us not the worst and he outlines his vision for a country divided by racial tension and struggling with the coronavirus pandemic.

hello i'm adrian forgetting this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up to say they can't release russian politician alexina valet from hospital despite pleas from his wife. when u.s. sanctions were violated we enforce the u.n. sanctions are violated we're going to do everything we can to enforce them as well the u.s. formally requests all the u.n. sanctions on iran be restored accusing to iran of violating the 2050 nuclear deal the major international powers are not on board. and brazil's amazon region faces more devastating fires that threaten to be worse than last year. u.s. presidential candidate joe biden has formally accepted his party's nomination from

a sink to overcome what he called a season of darkness by an accused president trump of failing to lead the failing to protect al-jazeera as alan fischer has more now from wilmington and biden's home state of delaware. i accept this nomination for president of the united states of america 32 years after the 1st run for president joe biden is no the democratic candidate the last man standing in what was a large field in a while i'll be a democratic candidate i'll be an american president and now he will face donald trump in november a man he's previously described as i have his depth incompetent and racist but a man he criticized without ever using his name in his speech the choice could not be more clear no rhetoric is needed just judge this president on the facts 5000000 americans infected by covert 19 more than 170000 americans have die

by far the worst performance of any nation on earth more than 15000000 people have filed for unemployment this year the acceptance was moved to a new arena in his home state of delaware it was delivered to an empty room with family watching backstage and you know by stadium was converted into a drive in theater to allow people to watch the speech on the big screen from the socially distance see 50 of their cars and the democratic challenger told the country he noised being the guy who is not donald trump isn't enough to win as president the 1st step i will take we did get control of the virus that has ruined so many lives will we be the generation that finally waves out the stain of racism from our national character i believe are up to it. i believe we're ready

and he promised a different foreign policy in a biden white house i'll be a president will stand with our allies and friends and make it clear to our adversaries the days of cozying up to dictators is over. the final speech at a convention is normally marked with huge cheers and traditionally a balloon drop but this was a different ending but what has been a different kind of convention. so joe biden has finally convinced the democratic party he should be the presidential candidate normally after the convention the candidate hits the campaign trail crisscrossing the country but because of covert that can happen this time around but still he has 11 weeks to convince the country that what he put on display in his speech his vision his policies even his personality is what america needs know alan fischer al-jazeera wilmington delaware . michael fauntroy is the acting director of the ronald w. walters leadership and public policy center at howard university and he says that

biden struck the right tone with his convention address. i thought it was what a presidential nomination speech should be. gave a really broad overview of some of the things that he would like to do as president but as we've learned over the course at lest 8 to 10 presidential elections really being able to communicate certain characteristics like integrity decency empathy that kind of thing is is really important and most voters and throughout the entire region resawing people speaking on joe biden have that emphasize that and he drove that point home and self today just sort of discussing how he was raised and some of the trials and tribulations that he's overcome throughout his own life i thought he did a really good job connecting with that and i also think he did a really good job and not going to deeply into policy because i don't think the

voters actually want in this kind of speech president trump was quick to react to biden's speech tweeting in 47 is joe did none of the things which he now speak solve he will never change just what the wife of russian opposition politician alexina holiday says the doctor supporting his life at risk by refusing calls to move him from a hospital in siberia he's still in a serious condition in the city of almost suspected poisoning doctors a told union of all they put he's too ill to be moved abilities team says that they keeping him on the pressure from the kremlin. what is the challenge. they refused to allow him to be moved or they 2 hours ago the situation was such documents for his transfer were being prepared 2 hours later they refused to handover alexy we think they say the substance disappears from his body he is not in a good condition and we do not trust this hospital we demand that he's handed over

to us so he can be treated in an independent hospital by doctors we trust well there are mixed reports about whether or not valley was poisoned the head of the vileness anticorruption foundation says that they've heard from police that a deadly substance was found in his body and that limited use could you think. we were in the office of the head doctor and a traffic policeman came in and showed us his phone saying this is a substance we found and the head doctor says well so what if you found it we went up to the police officer who showed us a phone and we asked her what kind of substance is that she said that information is confidential to the investigation and we cannot tell you but this substance is deadly the substance is not only in day during life but also people around him and their ambulances arrived in almost from germany there was organized by german and russian activists it follows an offer from chancellor angela merkel to trade in europe although these a it's so they were requested any such help. well for an intervention or 3 i hope

and wish that he will recover as quickly as possible and if you wish to do so and what applies to friends also applies to germany we will offer him all the medical help he needs and he can turn to german hospitals but of course he has to request. on thursday a small scale demonstrations were held in a number of russian cities in support of the valley some protesters accused president vladimir putin over the suspected poisoning there were reports of several arrests let's go live now to moscow alexandra steele out of it's gone for. for us so alexandra we've got the medical team reports of the medical team saying that they've made a full diagnosis that they haven't found any poison in the valleys body and yet his team say that the police have told them that a deadly poison was involved what's going on. well adrian there is no clarity in this situation whether or whether or not it was poisoned as you

said that he had dr a just came out saying that they have the full diagnosis according to them poisoning is not the cause of comma they are he also said that they told this statement to another wife and his brother and that he just met with you also says there were no traces of poison either in his blood or urine sample before that hour only before that he's boss said that they are going to keep on running tests for 2 more days searching for all sorts of substances that might be a cause of his condition but never in his family in iran is deemed don't believe this thing that the doctors are on that are pressured that their decision not to allow violet to be moved out of that hospital and throat transported elsewhere is everything but medical decision they're actually saying that with not allowing him to be transported there in danger in his life and that they're doing that on a request from above mean the political pressure is being put on them on the other

hand doctors are saying that his condition is not stable enough to be moved anywhere and that he can be treated in this hospital so we actually still don't know what exactly is the diagnosis did they have a 4 and a violent weather or whether or not what he was poisoned the doctor said that he's not ready to actually it revealed this diagnosis and actually if no one is family says you cannot reveal this according to russian law he actually cannot reveal that even if he would wish to and this ambulance that the today on disk the valley's family say that they have requested it. well it is that they did not request germany itself to help them get there with this transport and he is a coworker of the team of nonviolently and family heavily was involved in that were busy yesterday organizing such a transport and they are for sure ready to use it and this is what they're saying

also today they're saying there is a plane that is a fully equipped plane that can take him to the hospital they trust to be treated by the doctors which trust because we don't believe these doctors in psalms and we don't believe this hospital where he is in so this plane has been organized by russian activists and by some activists in germany yesterday it is to bring the if he gets permission by the doctors of course and by the russian authorities because of the whole situation with the 19 if these a plane that can be used to bring him to germany to a hospital alexandra's triad of each god for reporting live from moscow alexander many thanks indeed. opposition presidential candidate is calling for more strikes to keep up pressure on president on exam to look at showing up to kind of skier fled to lithuania after the election which she says was rigged against her she's demanding a rerun. as much at the boosh the future of bella roost and therefore the

bank of fog is it'll stay fine and dry across much of a sudden as a spy in the focus should burn off and then the winds will continue across the u.k. with areas of rain but some very heavy rain working its way towards areas the scandinavia and in fact as affronted trailing down across into the southwest now it is a warm day and on friday 34 degrees celsius but that rain and the cool moves in as we go through saturday so the temperature dropping quite noticeably $26.00 degrees there's the rain quite a few times again extending all the way on the navy right the way down areas of poland rather down into northern areas of italy and still rather unsettled will see u.k. scott a chance and still some fairly brisk winds but this is going to be like in berlin for the next few days drizzle on saturday fine off to the last on london a little bit more mixed. jump into the stream and join our global community this generation will have to

formally accepted his party's nomination. the wife of russian opposition politician alexina balding says the doctors a putting his life for risk by refusing calls to move him from a hospital in siberia medical staff so they found no indication that he was poisoned. by the roosters opposition presidential candidates he is calling for more strikes to keep up the president the pressure on president alexander lukashenko. to kind of square went to lithuania often does the disputed election earlier this month. the u.s. is formally triggered the process that it hopes could lead to all international sanctions being reimposed on iran but america's closest allies have already rejected the move kristen salumi reports from the u.n. in new york. u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o made a special trip to un headquarters to formally accused iran of violating the 2015 nuclear deal in a letter submitted to the security council president he argues iran has been

enriching uranium and supplying weapons to proxy militias in the middle east it's an attempt to trigger un procedures that would lead to the automatic reinstatement of sanctions this process will lead to those sanctions coming back into effect 30 days from today. our message is very very simple it isis will never allow the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism to freely buy and sell planes tanks missiles and other kinds of conventional weapons the un sanctions will continue the arms embargo the so-called snap back provision was part of the deal negotiated 5 years ago there's just one problem the u.s. withdrew from the deal in 2018 but that it is now but it's not going to take a break up but got to do which is a but is a book and he said be away with us it's not iran like russia says the u.s. move is illegal and the act of

a bully that nothing is going to happen in 30 or $31.00 days because the u.s. has to enjoy the support of the security council which does not exist the u.s. position is being true that you know and a security johnson the united states has put its european allies on the security council in a very awkward position they didn't speak publicly but issued a statement saying they cannot support the u.s. is unilateral move because they want to preserve the international nuclear deal that is as long as the iranians hold up their end of it the one thing that could actually turn a lot of the europeans. back to the u.s. side in these discussions would be a serious problem. i think that what we're likely to see is the iranians you know the u.s. electoral calendar simply white it could make for uncomfortable relations in the security council at least until november christine salumi al jazeera the united

nations let's go live to tehran i said beg that joins us from there i said what's iran saying about this. well iran preempted the united states going to the united nations with an open letter from foreign minister zarif and he said that the u.s. moves were unacceptable illegal and dangerous and iran stance has been consistent throughout iran has maintained that the united states is in no position to trigger this so-called snap back mechanism that will repose united nations sanctions on iran because the united states withdrew from the deal and on several occasions have admitted that they have no access to its mechanisms devolves refers also issued an a letter to the iranian people now whilst we discuss what's happening on the international front iran's also trying to reach out to its own people because they are still many people within iran that was skeptical about this deal that were not

in favor of it and we've just seen the most conservative parliament this country has ever seen voted in earlier this year and even last month was heckled and interrupted when he went to parliament so now he's reaching out to the ringing people and and saying we have done all that we can and actually he said no matter what happens iran victory is ours because we defended our right with logic and good manners and this is the stance that iran is taking they are saying that they are sticking to the law that they are sticking to international standards that they have come to this deal with goodwill and although that they have stepped back from some of their commitments to that nuclear deal iran believes that's within the 2050 nuclear deal that those provisions within that for them to be allowed to take those steps backwards so iran is still waiting to see what will happen the still some tough talk coming out of here previously we have heard president hassan rouhani say that there will be a crushing response if arms embargoes like are extended iran is just waiting to see

what will happen then looking at the european because the europeans have said that they don't support the u.s. moves but not supporting it and actually doing something about it against united states is a totally different matter. big reporting live from tehran a subpoena thanks dude. president trump is appealing a decision by a federal judge to allow the release of some of his financial records a new york grand jury is demanding 8 years of tax records as part of a case focusing on hush money payments and possible bank for trump argued the request was too broad it amounts to political harassment this is the ultimate fishing expedition nobody has anything we did we don't do things wrong but they'll say let's go in and inspect every deal he's ever done let's get papers from 10 years every paper every deal he's ever side maybe we can find with some lawyer made a mistake where they didn't dot and i with it in put it karma down someplace and then we can do something this is it discreet said this should never ever be allowed

to happen again india is struggling in its battle to contain the corona virus pandemic the country reported another day with nearly 70000 infections since the 3rd worst hit nation in the world. it's imposing a 2 week low to contain the corona virus infection the ministry of health is warning that hospitals are running out of space 6 major hospitals and 20 clinics were damaged off of the beirut explosion 2 weeks ago the country recorded 605 cases and 4 deaths so in a whole reports from beirut. a partial lockdown has been imposed authorities are hoping that they can flatten the curve there has been a dramatic rise in the number of coronavirus cases a few weeks ago the daily average was between 10 to 20 and now the numbers are in the hundreds and for a country which health the health care system is already collapsing authorities

fear that there is a need really to try to contain the spread in order to prevent a total collapse hospitals. have been really suffering as a result of the port explosion just 2 weeks ago it really put a lot of pressure on the system because hundreds of people remain in intensive care units people who were wounded in that blast so even in wards dedicated. patients covered 900 patients they are already full now what happened what brought about this rise well the airport was opened and many travelers who arrived in the country they were infected and you have a population really which were not being responsible they were not wearing masks they were not present respect the social distancing they were going to beaches there were wedding parties now. gatherings have been banned but the situation but the authorities are also making sure that the repair and relief work

that that has followed the. will not be disrupted and that's why if this is just a partial lockdown so the hope is in the next 2 weeks the number of coronavirus cases will be reduced because up to 400 doctors and nurses have been infected and like we mentioned hospitals damaged and destroyed in the port explosion. in myanmar the final day of peace negotiations has ended talks between the government of armed factions were held in the capital naypyidaw over 20 groups are demanding independence the violence has forced hundreds of thousands of people from ethnic minorities from the homes way to hate is monitoring developments from china mayan neighboring thailand. well this is the 1st formal peace conference that has been held in more than 2 years so i think ultimately this was really about setting the peace process back on track enabling the government to lay some groundwork to try to ensure that it continues beyond november's election into next

year because i think among some of the rebel armies there was a real concern that the entire peace process because of those delays and disagreements could fall apart completely but i think in danger of overshadowing the whole 3 day conference were the opening remarks by the head of me and my military men online who gave a very fiery opening speech he criticized the civilian government led by state councillor aung sun suu kyi and he laid the blame for the lack of progress through the 3 previous peace conference is squarely at the feet of the ethnic armed organizations the rebel armies saying that there was dishonesty among the stakeholders so clearly that will not be welcomed by those rebel armies president in present. and if anything it may be seen as setting the entire process back rather than moving it in the right direction in venezuela opposition leader who is planning a boy cos of the upcoming legislative elections he's appealing for political

parties tea and lights in what's being seen as a last ditch effort to maintain recognition at home and abroad you see on human explains. it's been nearly 8 months since government forces literally knocked out one guy though often israel is national assembly this even though he was the leader of parliament now president nicolas maduro is preparing to make good on his vow to regain control of parliament the country's only independent democratic institution in upcoming elections in response why bill is issuing an urgent call to opposition parties for action. because i propose a commitment to discuss and agree on a common strategy in the next 10 days. yes i will expect a public and active answer from each of you showing a united commitment to freeing venezuela. why those plan calls for denouncing and rejecting what he calls an electoral fraud i.p.y.

we must activate an agenda of domestic and international action and mobilization to obtain the necessary responses from our armed forces the international community and all of our allies. why though is appealing to the fractured opposition to join forces and call for a total boycott of the elections arguing that fraud is a foregone conclusion participating wooded to them as a dictatorship he says a new data analysis poll suggests that 75 percent of the news whalen's believe the elections won't be competitive and won't reflect the opinion of the voters why more liberal when you ask people about their disposition to vote in an election that evidently is not competitive only 11 percent say that they're very willing to do so and about 30 percent say that they may and that means around 40 percent might go to the polls but past experience shows most abstain if conditions are unfair. given that sentiment the opposition is clearly in

a lose lose position why dog has lost momentum leadership and the ability to mobilize large numbers of people as he once did his best is that by boycotting the poll the opposition can at least claim there was no election. that will likely draw out an ongoing political standoff in which more than 50 nations recognized by the all as venezuela's legitimate interim president but as he well knows even that can't last indefinitely see in human al-jazeera. in brazil files a once again burning in the amazon region but experts say the damage could be even worse than last year's devastation that's despite government pledges to avoid a repeat of $29.00 teams tragedy. 2 people have died in california as they try to fight wildfires thousands of people have been forced from their homes to san francisco the fires began after more than 10000 lightning strikes in the area rob reynolds reports from los angeles. the massive wildfires engulfing northern
