body behind them, the calls are getting louder. kristen salumi al jazeera, the united nation. well, i'm to the nelson is from the old bridge tunbridge group. he says many countries who abstained trying to preserve relations with the gentle. this resolution underscores the limitations of the u. n. in terms of its ability to really strongly intervene and it certainly falls short of the expectations of some of the protesters in them are who have been calling from day one about the responsibility to protect this resolution. while it does condemn the who, while it does call on the countries of the world to start preventing a form of armed into the country, it's not a step toward the formal arms embargo. and it's very clear that a strong security council action would be vetoed by china, and probably also by roger many who want to preserve their relationships in the

region with off the on. they simply don't see the point of getting behind resolutions that are ultimately going to be symbolic when, when likely, when the rubber hits the road in the current situation, china is going to block strong action. the hunter will still habits channels to russia. he will still have its relationships in the region and on the ground in miramar, the military is waging and offensive against armed ethnic groups with a sci fi lasting belly, 3 days before collapsing, and estimate 100000 people have been displaced by the fighting. and the army is attacking convoys, tried to bring an aid from neighboring thailand. tony chang reports a tie. me in my border. a single mind, a bird perches on a temple roof and thailand and o men for those that believe it brings bad luck. but just down the road, no time for superstition,

people are packing up supplies to send across the board to mamma. they have to operate without the tire authorities knowing and with no guarantees. the aid will get through contin. it's very difficult to get access to the displaced people. some of the aid workers were arrested and some of the donation items were destroyed and burned by the me in my army. the supplies are loaded onto a truck, blankets, medicine, top hollands and food. this confirmed will be driven across the borders elsewhere. it must be carried by hand on the other side of the board and the correct army is in control. it was one of the ethnic groups that signed up to a c sparren man ma. until the military coup in february, the aid is unloaded from the truck and taken to a makeshift jungle camp. hits the monsoon season and conditions a tough. nonetheless, a steady flow of new arrival. these people had tracked through the jungle for 3 days from the most township that has seen the fiercest fighting,

but here is elsewhere, cobra protocols prevail. temperatures taken masks warn, they must remain isolated for 14 days. despite the conditions, however, every one is grateful to be away from the fighting. doesn't therefore i for let them know we were sleeping in our house when the me am, our soldiers came near a village. we were very skewed. we can't stay in the village anymore. the artillery hit our village late at night, we were very scared and hurried to get up and ran to the jungle to hide from the shell. fighting and kaya state has been fierce men, mas army has unleashed the full might of its military machine, helicopter gunship, jets and heavy artillery firing civilian neighborhoods. its troops have left a trail of destruction in the towns and bodies littering the streets many decomposed beyond recognition. in the tropical heat, some believe this is a deliberate policy to force the cur, any from their homeland. everything the region has done has very specific

purpose or purposes that is to, to drive people away from their homes. and then to make it possible for them to return, some people daring to go back, but with so many homes burnt or destroy, there's a real concern. the arm is intention, is to push people back into the jungle for long periods of time, or even worse, to push them over the board here into thailand. but thailand has shown little interest in taking in tens of thousands of refugees as it did in the ninety's, the memos john to enforce a similar policy on the carini. that means that these children could remain in the makeshift camps for months or even years forced from their homes by military to the may also have robbed them their future. tony chang al jazeera on the time, me on my board and the iran as

voted in a presidential election expected to hand power to hard line. judge abraham bracy activists had called for a boycott after several candidates were excluded, leaving only 4 contenders in the race. many rain in a wary and frustrated with the state of the economy. and that seems to have effected friday's ton out of acid bag reports. now from terra. it's a tale of 2 elections, a part of society that feels disappointed and let down appears to have stayed away from the poles. my name was i another them, but i didn't. i didn't vote because of it. it's useless. the previous government came and made a lot of promises and i know this government will do the same on right. i didn't vote because the candidate i wanted to vote for was after did a job, but he was disqualified. that's why i didn't. and then did those consider more faithful, the backbone of support? the political establishment relies on my son at that i've been voting for 40 years

. look at my id document, there's no more space for selection stamps today. i voted for mr. racy. i want him to help the, you know, one assisted us. i hurt they help the youth and all the miserable people from the day we became eligible voters. that 18 we have attended the elections. this is proof. we have voted in all elections. no room left of stan. i voted for mr. racy more than one. they have been called for an election boycott, but the main factions urged people to come out. and the highest authority in the country, the supreme leader led the cold by casting the 1st vote. not clear it's worked. some don't see a candidate, they can vote for others. don't believe in the system that seen many candidates disqualified, many feel the economy has been mismanaged. president hassan holidays administration blames us sanctions imposed after donor trump pulled the u. s. out of the 2015 nuclear deal, unemployment and inflation, or at all time highs. the currency has severely devalued here in the south of

thereon. everyone we spoke to who voted said they chosen election. frontrunner just re chief ibrahim, right. you see he faced 2 of the conservatives and one moderate candidate, but several of those were excluded. vain. he's also been the head of the judiciary since 2019 is close to the supreme leader and has support from hotline, as many may criticize the outcome of this problem. the question now is, what was the voted to not be what percentage of the vote would get? he may win the election, but not necessarily widespread popular support. i said vague, i just, there are there on the us military presence in the middle east is shrinking further equipment as well as hundreds. the troops are being pulled out. the pentagon confirm reports. the anti missile batteries are being removed from iraq, q 8, jordan and saudi arabia. it comes 2 years after the military presence in the region grew amid escalating tensions with iran. gabriel is on the has more now from

washington, dc. well, the pentagon is not telling us exactly how many troops and exactly, exactly precisely where they're being withdrawn from an exactly when. nevertheless, we can certainly ascertain from the information that they did release that, that they are saying that it definitely is air defense assets, primarily that are being moved out of the middle east region. they said that they would be perhaps moved to some redeployed to other areas that they would not disclose or brought back to the u. s. for maintenance. what we think this is, is the bad air defense system. and also the patriot missile system that the u. s. has deployed in recent years to several countries in the middle east, in terms of how many troops were thinking that it's in the hundreds, not the thousands. and these would be troops that are, that you know how to operate these air defense systems. so you ask yourself,

is this a big troop drop down or not? and answer that question, got to know on how many troops in total there are in the middle east, a us troops, and it's about 45 to 55000. so if you're looking at several 100, perhaps, that gives you an idea of the total number of troops bottom line know is this comes at a very important time because biden president vine has said that he wanted to recalibrate the number of us troops and assets in the middle east region, and this is all part of that recalibration and he focuses more on russia and china . but it also, and this is important, this comes ahead of expected talks with iran on re entering into the nuclear agreement, the j. c, p o, a. the chief editor and chief executive of a pro democracy newspaper and hong kong have appeared in court. ryan lauren chung kim hong, or accused of colluding with a foreign country. they were arrested at the apple daily's offices on thursday. under the cities sweeping national security law. the case has drawn international

condemnation for a short break here now to 0. when we come back just a month before the lympics mixed messages from japan and on with the spectators will be allowed to attend. and will have the latest. on the 3rd last abduction in nigeria, and as many weeks are not stay with us. i hello there. let's begin in north america and extreme and dangerous heat is continuing across west in areas of the u. s. we've already had a heat wave emergency declared in california, and this is the scene in death valley. it's really living up to its name. people are warned that outdoor activity could be potentially life threatening. but records have already been hit in california, nevada, and arizona. we'll see, temperature is continuing to climb, not just in the west,

but across central areas as that heat continues to build. and not only is it, while the intense heat it is persistent and it's likely to last into well into next week. now it's a different story, up in the midwestern, got cool air blown down from canada, and that's bringing weather and cooler weather. we've got some severe thunderstorms rolling across, illinois into indiana, and ohio. we could see hale heavy rain and some strong wind there. we've also got a tropical storm alert for the deep south louisiana expected to see so really large amounts of rain coming from that system as it works its way up. it's going to head north east and that's going to bring some wet weather to georgia and the carolinas . and would like to see more flood alerts as that system works. its way up bringing plenty of rain the it's more than just again, it's a way of life. every promise,

every shows. every don't bring us together. we try to miles so we can say we would we flew every month with a gain access uniting and and together it's more than just the game. ah the ah welcome back to pick them out of our top stories here on the are the un general assembly has passed a resolution calling for a hold to the flow of weapons into me and it's you and in buffalo who represents the alpha civilian government says the measures don't go far enough holes of

clothes and around the presidential election. the hotline head of the judiciary abraham racy is clear. frontrunner among a narrow field of 4, contended crippled economy and high unemployment with some of the issues dominating friday's note. and the us was putting equipment and hundreds of troops from the middle east, the pentagon to confirm, afford that, and finish all the batteries. but being removed from iraq, kuwait, jordan, and saudi arabia. in now be tokyo, 2020 chief says she wants to explore ways the whole next month, the lympics with spectators. japan's top medical adviser has said the games would be safer without fans. a bandwidth cost organizes hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. can all share, other sporting events are being held with spectators. so as long as people want to see the olympics and paralympics, then it's the job of the organizing committee to find and eliminate the risk in

order to ensure safety and security. i want to make every effort to continue discussions until the end. so that like in other sports, as many people as possible, can watch the games. on friday, saturday, join me live now from the japanese capital. so say co ashley motor one spectators of the game. saudi. but japan's medical adviser has already said that games would be safer without the mean. this is a very confusing message if he is indeed mister, she gave me the thought by the visor on facing the band to make for the government . he held the conference with several other basically what he said is that they prefer that they don't see any 6 acres at the event. it's going to the doctor. what's the honeymoon? son said almost seriously in the conference yesterday. so this,

this mixed visions of the holding limbic to more confusion to what's going on just a week ago, the organizing committee indicated that they're expecting to see about 225000 spectators daily. that the different events you wouldn't know when that home on the 23rd don't fly. so and they also mentioned that the household order, the 43 percent of the ticket. so now with the mr. me asking, get out and i thought biting don't realize it's not like they says they have already sold the ticket. so it could be meant to see how if they decided to send a ticket, going to the site. and then at the numbers, the government, the government's offset to got another thing. the state of emergency on thursday said that they want to come the number of spectators,

the major events 210001 the regardless of the size of the event or the place. so all this is adding more confusion in some you wanted to see spectators in the event that this is the game, but we're on monday we're going to press down 1st section one is going to give us the finance on that. yeah, father. and just briefly, i'm in recent pose in japan still suggest the gain should not go ahead. many volunteers, we know have already pulled out what the public mood there at the moment. most public opinion shows that say, if i sent out again, holdings. so you can expect many people are not very optimistic about the games. i'm afraid that it would cause research and the number of the sections after typically from 7000 daily to 1700. now he's telling me that in tokyo thought he

thank you. now the palestinian authority has rejected a deal with israel received more than a 1000000 cove in 1900 vaccines that were close to their expiry date of vaccine swap was announced earlier on friday, palestinian say they were told the doses would last into july and august however, instead received 90000 jobs that will expire this month. more than half of israelis have been fully vaccinated compared to one in 3 palestinians. i've only had one does. the climate talk after the medical technical teams received the 1st patch to vaccine to saving. they found that they did not match the technical specifications that we had agreed earlier. we contacted the prime minister and the decision was made, the deal was canceled and we will remain committed to buying enough accedes for people and depression 5 to provide the vaccines as early as possible. mid abraham has more from bethlehem and the occupied west back according to the paulson and

health minister of what you're than a press conference with the spokesperson of the palestinian government. they said that the shipment they received today, which is between 92100000 jobs on either did not come or went up to the palestinians. sanders affording to the deals that was struck by pfizer. the postman, in official said that the agreement was that these doses should expire in july and august. and that's because they can give that to the people. but they found out for them through the policy and official that these jobs expire in june, which is why they held a press conference and said that they are rejecting the whole they are sending back those batches. and now we'll wait for the exact sees that they've already ordered from pfizer to arrive for them to them. they should be here in september or october . and they many have been telling us that they believe that israel was trying to score p. r points, after lots of criticism came to israel because it is the occupied power or the to

international law. many human rights organization said that this is israel, you to vaccinate palestinians, but they didn't do that than they believe that they were trying to give those shipments to the palestinians because they were already going to throw that, throw them away and try to score points. remember, we also have a new government in israel, and this is what, why many palestinians believe that this rooms acting in bad faith. now when it comes to the vaccination drive in the past and it's, it's going relatively no. it's not even more than 13 percent of the population that have received the jobs. so this deal is also that the me of this scene is also expected to further load down the vaccination rate and maybe take a few months where the policy is to get through the heard them unity because they're saying that they need to get 70 percent to have some sorts of her immunity and be able to open up businesses and straggler life. governments across europe are

scaling back earlier, plans to ease restrictions, as the delta variant of the corona, virus spreads and said to be behind a sharp rise in cases in russia and germany as well as the u. k. j a whole has more the delta v are in 1st discovered in india is making itself at home in europe. in britain, it's responsible for new infection numbers soaring past 11000 in a single day, and doubling every 11 days. hospital admissions, arising though deaths remain low. that's because the success of the vaccine rollout means the elderly and vulnerable of protected, leaving mainly young adults to get it, and they tend to be less susceptible to serious illness. in countries where vaccine wrote out, his less advanced the risk is greater, the russian capital moscow has seen daily infections rise by 30 percent this week, prompting an extension of restrictions and the rebuke of public behavior from the criminal determine the total nihilism and the low vaccination level were behind the

search. we must also not forget the counting of the infection itself. covered is only 18th of the country's population has been vaccinated with russia's own sputnik vaccine. and it's now become mandatory for those in public facing work like retail education, health care, and public transport to get the jap elsewhere in the e u. where vaccination programs have escalated after a slow start, restrictions are being eased and holiday travel is back home. in the hope of a post cove in summer, european football championship matches drawing big crowds. but the delta variant may have other ideas with the leaders of france and germany warning against complacency. that's not really what we need to remain vigilant. as far as the spread of mutations or variance is concerned, we can see this in great britain cameras. i can only say we can't behave as if the

corona virus pandemic is over, where people travel. so will the virus, the variant is present in more than 80 countries in the world? health organization says it could soon be the dominant global strain. many are looking at the you case experience as an object lesson in the perils of over confidence. we've not honestly 80 percent of adults in this country have had a 1st job. and we're now asking 18 year olds to come forward. so when making huge huge progress, the country that has trumpeted vaccine success loudest in europe is for the moment moving fastest in the wrong direction. jonah whole al jazeera, not one of a group of more than 80 students kidnapped by gunman in nigeria has been killed. it's not clear how the student died. the group was abducted from a school in the northwestern state of cabbie, the army rescued, at least one teacher and 5 pupils. if the 3rd massive duction, and as many weeks could nothings by,

john june. its been made the same way for more than a 1000 years. a scale passed from one generation to the next. as in this business run by the tray family, it's often referred to as 100 paper because that's how many stages are considered needed by hand to make each piece. the pope comes from the inner bark of the mulberry tree which grows abundantly on south korea as rocky hillsides. but it can only be harvested at a particular time of the year and then laboriously worked to strip away the out about $100.00 energy. and it takes about 10 years of study learning from a master craftsman. traditions are hard to learn and how to keep up. so it requires a sense of commitment. this business and others still making paper. the same way is located in the city of john du, which is home to a carefully preserved village to promote korean culture for an ancient industry

that at one time expose its product to china, considered the birthplace of traditional paper, making the decline in korean. han gee has been marked, especially in recent times. it's reckoned from a 100 workshops a couple of decades ago. barely 20 now remain on display in this city, the winning entries from a competition aimed at encouraging hunged making while showing off its birth fatality. all the offerings made out of paper. but what's needed, argue at supporters, is the worldwide recognition that would come with unesco listing. when he pulled the natural gas benefit museum archives and constantly surprised by the condition of historical documents, the characters and colors i figured i'd still have just been drawn. and the paper is not damaged at all. the paper from chase workshop is now the preferred choice for us restore is in italy, and he believes unesco recognition. similar to that enjoy by paper makers from

china and japan would go a long way to preserving his beloved craft. can you tell me? well, of course, out of everything i can to prevent this tradition from dying out, but i can't do it on my own. the whole society must cherish this heritage. consider a precious and love it. a craft whose mastery is hardened and that could easily be lost. robin bride al jazeera john to south korea. ah, type creature headlines here. the un general assembly has passed a resolution calling for a hold the flow of weapons and to me and mom. if you went to bassett, who represents the ousted civilian government, says the measures don't go far enough. iran has voted in the presidential election expect for the hon. power to hotline judge abraham racy activists had call for a boycott.
