think about the sophistication of exploits to breaking the phone. this is fine and your phone on me ah ah ah ah, i get you watching out a reminder about top stories. the intention is hi and ivory coast full president learned by bows hours away from returning for the 1st time since he was arrested in 2011. i was charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity eventually acquitted by the international criminal court. hong kong, the largest pro democracy newspaper, apple daily says press freedom is hanging by

a thread of police, arrested 5 of the executives under bay jeans. national security law are accused of colluding with foreign enemies. japan is easy and current of virus restrictions a month out from the start of the limp. again, if they do, emergency will be lifted and take it out to bars and restaurants will be restricted businesses across lebanon, a close on says it's part of a general strike against deteriorating economic conditions. protest as a blot rose in bay roots and other cities they calling for the government, do more to deal with the west in crisis. the currency has been in a freefall for months in the world bank says economic conditions among the worst in the world level has been without a fully functioning governance in august. and there are shortages of fuel and medicine. what they thought they were a lot of talk about the economy condition has hit rock bottom. the lebanese pound has hit rock bottom and everything is expensive. how can we survive?

there is no medicine, no water, no electricity, nothing. then what? what more humiliation could we take? on top of all of this, the general strike comes as an investigation by the reuters news agency reveals of at least $250000000.00 in humanitarian aid has been lost. a lebanese bank since 2019 the money from the united nations was meant for over 1000000 syrian and palestinian refugees, as well as poor communities in lebanon. they documents and interviews reveal up to half of the entire aid program has been lost through highly unfavorable exchange rates used by the lebanese banks in an internal report, the u. n. has called the losses staggering units. as spokesman said, the agency is very concerned about refugees. getting the full value of the cash transfers. let's speak to semi another who's director of the levant institute for strategic affairs joins is live now from beirut. semi not a $250000000.00. how is it possible so much money has been lost.

i mean, because of the liquidity crisis and never known, we are in the middle of an unprecedented economic and financial crisis and nothing it has been done. now in order to stop this for you, for this total collapse because and balance of payment deficit, because that is naughty for that is no government in the place to trigger an action plan that is not an action plan to get out of the crisis. that is no government to unlock the international aid that is promised to live on on and meanwhile, that are a lot of foreign currency fleeing the country that the foreign currency getting into the country. this is what we call that balance of payment deficit. although this deficit shooting because of that shrinkage of that balance of trade,

the beneath people import class because for the simple reason they don't have money to import and some time import their basic needs. and this, all of that is that the economy is still bleeding and nothing is done to, to, to pace up to the, to the problem. clearly clearly there's a lack of leadership, of pressure on that even is found. so the lack of leadership in dealing yes, but also the bank leadership. the banks are profiting on they by offering highly on favorable exchange rates and at the expense of millions of remain g. yeah, and the only way to go out and key this money to the cheese and all the poor people is to ensure that this money is to be transferred in cash. and you know, as dollars or foreign currency, because that anybody's found is losing its value by the day because of the

problems we were listing that is enormous pressure on the beneath the phone that has lot up to now 90 percent of its value. we are facing the dwindling of the per chasing power of the new citizens. so the only way to guarantee that this money achieved its objective is to make sure why the, you and contract with the new government that this money is to be given in you as dollars. this is why the world bank today is not reaching a finance agreement with the liberty of government because everybody is government and does give money. center back are insisting that this money is to be a challenge to the buy nice people in need different program. but this is the

similar logic. yeah, i want to, i can jump in the easy to find exchange trade show if i need to jump that is just to, to make it clear what was happening here. it used to be worth $27.00 per refugee, and it's not worth something like $7.00. just what does that last represent in terms of you know, buying power it. it's like the example is that this petition hour has lost 90 percent of its value $6.00 a day or not enough to buy the basic needs in terms of brad and the cost of transportation. and very soon, when the central bank will be obliged to remove a subsidy on fuel, we will be facing hyper inflation scenario. starting was a high cost of transportation that will impact every every other

commodity. so the $6.00 will not be enough to ensure that transportation from any place and the periphery to the center of beta would not to mention all what's needed in terms of being that and in terms of closes and terms of bread. and just to give you an example, as for now, the average salary of the soldier and that he'd been us army does not exceed $100.00 a month. that is less than half a dollar a day. yeah, it's certainly a very real problem. so, i mean, do we appreciate your perspective on this? thanks very much for joining us here on alger now, palestinians married to a foreign nationals demanding israel approved their residency, permit tens of thousands awaiting some for more than 2 decades. israel controls of

population registry and decides who gets a palestinian id. abraham reports in the palestine inside of the river jordan and the occupied west back. yeah. how do you know me do bustling me from the occupied us bank is asking her niece in jordan here at the jordan river, the family i meters apart, but been separated for years. luba damien citizen moved to the west bank with her postilion husband 11 years ago. since then she hasn't met with her family. this is as close as they can get to her union. and alicia from other than not telephone hick, but i see them usually on the phone, but it's not like seeing them in real. i still can't touch, kiss or hug them better than nothing but last until later, but ruba is a palestinian descent, but that doesn't help her get to palestinian id. many foreign nationals like her are waiting for israel to approve their request. while they can leave the westbank,

israel might prevent them from returning to their families. aaliyah susie applied for a palestinian id more than 25 years ago. she came so close to getting one. but the process was frozen, she says you probably wouldn't have married someone from the occupied territory. if she knew it would be that difficult to get her residency. she told us one of her hardest moments was when her mother wanted to see her before she died. packet and love adult life. i told her it's not up to me. if i leave a won't be able to come back. i will lose my family. she's fed up of the weight and became a regular and protest. i mean, as part of the movement, demanding family unification. they're trying to block the street in the hope of getting the going to her or risking the day coming here as

they passed through different instructions from cities in the west bank. paulson you look for them not to be a born during go she sions with the house in israel allowed reunification to thousands of tombly royal dealing with this file as a political issue. but it's our right amount of the signed agreements allow us to grant id papers. but israel took that right away. it's already authority say family reunification is only possible under special humanitarian conditions. spouses and children do not qualify from couples, told us they had to leave the country to remain together. those who opt to stay we'll have to do for now with meetings like this across the river. neither ibrahim al jazeera, the occupied westbank years president joe biden is set to sign

a bill into law later on thursday that creates a new federal holiday marketing. the end of slavery, congress is voted to make, was known as june, teens or june. the 19th and national holiday amongst the dates when the last and slaves, african americans learned that they were free high did your country joins us now live from washington, d. c. and it's interesting, this is that tell us more about it and how it came to be charge you a short neck. this 1st holiday started on june 19th, 1865, and that is the day when union soldiers inform the last and slaves africans in galveston, texas, that the civil war was over. it was essentially the book and to that been division in the country and came to and a half years after president abraham lincoln had issued his famous emancipation proclamation that abolished slavery. now this is a holiday june teams that have been celebrated in most us states and in the senate

. earlier this week, this legislation making it a federal holiday passed without a single objection. but then on wednesday, the us house voted 415-2142 create the federal holiday with all objections coming from republicans. there are reasons ranging everything from we have enough help federal holidays in the united states to this june teeth being a creation of the left to try to sell more division. now the co sponsor for this legislation in the house i represent of sheila jackson lee who is a black woman representing texas. she called this a long journey that but that were finally here in this afternoon. president joe biden is expected to sign this into los nick. hi d, thanks about how did your customer, thanks a lot. now the pandemic has fueled a global rise in civil unrest and political insecurity. according to the think tank institute of economics and paste it says since 2020,

the world has witnessed almost 15000 violent protests and rides damage. they caused k with a heavy price tag, nearly $15.00 trillion dollars or 11.6 percent of the world's g. d, p, the most violent protests were in belarus. mamma, russia, the united states and coexist on. but i've got this done, has remained the world's most violent country for the past 4 years. it's closely followed by yemen, syria soft to don, and iraq. on the opposite end of the scale is iceland. it's held at the world's most peaceful country position since 2008 new zealand, denmark, portugal in slovenia, make up the top 5. while steve, claire is the founder and chief executive at the institute for economics piece and explains the effect, the cobra, 1900 pandemic, has had on peace and violence globally. and we start to look at it globally. what we find, there's been improvements in the number of deaths from violent conflict and also

the intensity number at the bottom and conflicts going globally. so on the opposite side, what we've found is that there was a very slight decrease in pe smallness in 2020 and that was mainly caused through an increased number of violent demonstrations. rises in they'll have levels of political instability, part of that was peeled by mac downs from kind of the 19 and then the economic issues to follow. there's also an increase in militarize nation as well. that's important because in the last 2 years we're seeing an increase in militarization. however, if we go back over the last decade, it had been improving. and this is a trend which is likely to continue the next couple years, unless we can get better international political relations, particularly between let's say, the us, russia, the, you, russia, then china, it's neighbors in the us. we look at them will gladly benign regions. we cover 3

improved the other 6 deteriorated. so if we look at the largest deterioration with north america, but it only consists of 2 countries, canada in the usa, canada increased slightly, whereas the u. s. and substantial drop, mainly caused by increases the levels of political instability, as we can see, reflected in the last election and rising number of demonstrations, which can say because the occupied just ation of capital hill. and also through the black loss matters may or may russia's sovereign well, fun says, but next we will offer a booster vaccine to work against the new delta veteran to current of ours. the news comes as the u. k. launch is a nationwide study to explore whether the 3rd shot vaccines would give either protection. the trial will look at 7 different cobra, 1900 shots, as the buck reports from south hampton. deep in the basement of these hospital

medical researches have embarked on a world 1st to see what happens when those were already fully vaccinated. a given a 3rd dose experts will observe over the course of the year, are expected to boost the job is protecting both younger and older adults from different variants of the virus will do this by monitoring the level of antibodies and participants. blood though, also study any harmful side effects. it's a natural next step to be doing a study where you're looking at the next vaccine. after we've kind of done the initial studies looking at the 1st day says we've got to move forward because we know the areas that are coming through and things like that. and we may need to be peoples immunity to be able to protect them against areas. susan porters, one of nearly 3000 participants receiving a booster of one of 8 different vaccines, including a placebo meningitis job as a frontline worker in charge of a dementia care home. she was one of the 1st people in the u. k to be fully vaccinated. the a vaccines in this chart or the oxford astrazeneca vaccine, pfizer,

all participants, the 1st screen for suitability and guided through any possible side effects. it's been quite difficult to manage everybody's expectations and keep people say, and present them. the mental health of my resident impact is massive, and it's going to be massive going forward unless we find a solution. this is the coal face of coven. 19 research that they took out of tentatively and methodically by these researches will eventually informed decision makers around the world the child so sensitive. we cannot film doses being administered in case participants find out which one they've received. while scientists here are considering 3rd doses, millions of people around the world haven't received a single one. the concern is that if boost jobs prove effective, rich nations may choose to continue holding supplies rather than sharing them with other nations. my hope is that there will be enough doses to go round,

certainly by the end of the year and an inter next year. could be that cobra back thing last a lot longer than we think. and some people might not need a booster straight away or so soon, or it could be that because of the variance virus, we all need much higher immunity than initially being produced by office 2 doses. the vaccines are being tried at 18 sites across the u. k. with half doses also being tested. if the panoramic caught the world off guard, this trial is about being as prepared as we possibly can, needs balkan. i'll just 0 south hampton. i said i had here and i was 0. we got spoke coming out roughly on the shot fans with the big announcement details of break ah

which chess? and that means that they've got their own web, but they're getting fabulous results. i mean, aging 1st cent manage space in 2003. and since then, it's invested billions of dollars toward the goal of becoming a major space power. china became the 2nd country to land rover on mars in may. it was the 1st to lad one on the far side of the moon in 2019. and in march, china announced it was teaming up with russia to build a research based on the mood within the next 2 decades. the crew on board the can go are under a lot of pressure. their mission has begun just days before the chinese communist party is 100 you on a bursary, on the 1st of july, and the government wants to uphold the countries achievement and space as proof of its success. so there really is no room for error. the astronauts bordered the space station about 7 hours after lifting off from earth. beijing says the can go will function as a floating laboratory and mark a continuous chinese presence and space for the next 10 years. katrina,
