down after it. assets are frozen and that will stop arrested under beijing's and national security. and growing discomfort just a month out from the tokyo olympics. protest against the games going ahead while japan battles the corona, vice fund demi. ah, thank you very much for joining us. we begin with breaking news out of e. c o p and their reports that dozens of people have been killed after and as try kate a busy market in the northern te gray region, half workers in the village of to go guy have told the associated press news agency that soldiers blocked medical teams from traveling to the scene, the attack happened during some of the most intense fighting since the conflict in de gray began in november. is unknown. who cares?

the attack will have more information on this breaking news story when we speak to our correspondent on the grounds. moving on and yvonne says it stopped and attempted to sabotage against the building of its atomic energy organisation issues . just hours after the us seized 33 media websites with links to iran on tuesday, the iran condemned the move, calling it a breach of freedom of speech. people attempting to access the english language side press t. v received this message that it had been seized by the united states government . the u. s. previously sanctioned iran revolutionary god. and state media outlets making it illegal for them to do business with americans. the department of justice has accused any media of spreading this information. it's not the 1st time this has happened in october, the u. s. took down about a 100 websites linked to iran, and it's coming at a crucial time for the nuclear talk in vienna. the u. s any ron have not met face

to face, but diplomat say they've made progress, and government involves should make a final decision. soon on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal. let's bring in our correspond endorsed jibari, who is in tehran dose, as i said, he's all coming at a very sensitive and delicate time. tell us 1st about the report on the talk. i come to sabotage anyway on the atomic energy agency building. yes, we're getting very little information, which is not unusual here. when such things happen, the officials are remain very tight lipped about the details of this attempt that attack on a building which we understand to be in the city of carriage. that's just west of the capital terror on the attempt to attack took place on early wednesday morning. we still don't know what form the attack took, but the officials have said that they have managed to boil the attack and they are still investigating and looking for perpetrators. this is not the 1st time we've

seen this kind of attempted sabotage. and the previous time we saw such an attack that was successful was on the nuclear side of the town's last april. and prior to that, in the summer of last year, there was another attack on that towns. this, of course, this time around is not on a nuclear sites, but rather a building belonging to the countries, atomic energy organisation. these kinds of attack will certainly not help with the ongoing negotiations that are taking place between iran and wal powers in an attempt for the us to return to the deal. and for iran to return to full compliance . it will be used as an example of how the u. s. how western powers could be trying to sabotage these discussions that are ongoing. and at a critical time, when iran really has to make a decision whether or not they will accept what has taken place in vienna over the right, the last few months, the iranians have said that this round, the 6 rounds, that just wrapped up could be the final round, they brought back a communicate for the iranian officials to look at and decide whether details or

something that is in their best interest. and hopefully they will make a decision soon. and a special body has been formed by various levels of government representing in that body to decide whether or not they will return to the nuclear deal. and these kinds of attempt to sabotage those talks will certainly be used by the conservative voices in the country as examples of why they cannot be trusted with the western powers and what they are promising. right. and at the same time, 33 iranian media websites seized by the american, tell us more about these side and what have been the radian authorities reaction to this well, these sites are all off branches and off shoots of the official fate, tv websites, and belonging to the state and these have been really, there's been a lot of anger by officials from various levels of government we heard from iran, had her on un mission. said that the radians will pursue this illegal child that it

is shameful. we also heard from the countries communication minister, who said that this is not something the us is able to do because it's illegal. he called the illegal act. we've also heard from the countries for ministry, who issued a statement saying that this was a shameful, actually carried out by the u. s. government. and it's not, it's a double standard for them. when they preach about democracy for them to do this, to the iranian sites. we also have heard from the, the spokesperson rather sorry, the chief of staff is president. how sandra honey, during the weekly cabinet meeting on wednesday, let's listen to some of what he had to say about, you know, me check on the con john the, what the us did to iranian websites was a breach of all principles of freedom of speech, which the united states is proud of. they restricted freedom of speech. we condemn this measure. we will use all our legal and international means to counter the

wrong policy of the united states. it is not a constructive move at a time when nuclear talks are underway in vienna. so it seems like we take one step forward and 2 steps back with what's happening between around the world powers. and this was certainly damp in the mood here and seen as a negative step towards what the re needs are trying to achieve with the international community. dorothy, thank you very much for that update dosage. barry's correspondent in tehran, never use the secretary of state phase. it's crucial that libya holds national elections in december as the only way to ensure peace and stability. antony blanket made the comment for head of i didn't charge conference getting under way in berlin with james to reduce violence in the north african country. representatives from the transitional government are taking pont along with key foreign players, including the us, russia, turkey, and egypt. we share the goal of a sovereign stable unified, secure libya,

free from foreign interference. it's what the people will be deserve. it's critical to regional security as well for that to happen. national elections need to go forward in december, and that means urgent agreement is needed on constitutional and legal issues that would undergo those elections and the october 23rd cease fire agreement has to be fully implemented, including, by withdrawing all foreign forces from libya. next spring in adam rainy in berlin for as we've seen, some of the leaders arriving for this conference, the 2nd berlin conference that i'm on libya. what we the focus on this time around and what are the expectations? was us secretary state blinking just said they're a big focus is on making sure foreign fighters leave libya and that's a huge challenge. because 18 months ago, a meeting here in germany, there was a lot of talk about ending violence and violence only kept going on at that time. so analysts and libya watchers are really trying to make sure that there's some

meat put on the bones of whatever happens here. and it's not just nice words, but actually there's some teeth to it. so big. yes, we need the foreign fighters out. we need to have election and we need to make sure that the unify, the libyan military. but, you know, are they going to do what it's needed to get all that done. so that's what people are waiting to see if that happens here. course the us now under president joe vine with 6 here say point in here is trying to show how important they see this issue. but it's a complicated situation to live a lot of actors. a lot of them that are here have different goals and lydia. so these expectations are high, it's a question of whether all the people meeting here today are going to meet those expectations even with fitful starts and setbacks. people want to see and into violence. this election come off and some unification. oblivion, military rainy. thank you for the moment. i'm rainy. lie for a say in berlin,

on the 2nd libya conference in germany, while delegates there will be hoping to build on progress made during the last 818 months in january last year. another brilliant conference. so leaders agreed to uphold you and arms embargo and push the b as warring sides towards a full ceasefire. 9 months later, they reached ideal too, and hostilities. it included a demand that thousands of foreign fighters leave within 90 is. but that hasn't happened then alms have continued to come in. but the agreement set libya on the path toward the transitional government that took power in march and a d and on elections due to be held later this year. let's bring in our diplomatic edison jane space in london who's also covering this story for us today on archers era. we've heard james from the us secretary of state and also the german foreign minister after the bilateral meeting, early in, lynn setting, the mood ahead of his conference on libya. the u. s. as adam was saying, much more involved this time around. absolutely, there's a very different position,

olivia, from the biden administration compared with the trump administration when you had the 1st of these libya meetings. back in january 2020. it was a leader level angular miracle. the german chancellor was chairing the meeting, but there was one leader who was absent and that was donald trump, the president, the united states. and he was represented by secretary of state mike palm, peo, president trump not very interested in libya. no one of various points could work out which side the u. s. was actually supporting in the beer. one point president trump had a phone conversation with general hafta of the general have to may have taken as a green light to go towards his ill fated push to try and take tripoli, which certainly made the international situation much, much more complicated. remember libya is a controversial issue in us politics because it was the bomber administration that was in charge of the time of the fall of good our feet that pushed for that nato

involvement. the nato ad bombardment took place at that time. and remember the ben gauzy attack of 2012 was one of those issues. the death of the us ambassador that was used against the bomber administration and then against then secretary of state, and then presidential candidate hillary clinton by ministration. to put all of that behind them. and to get much more involved in this issue and i think we are the positive you have in terms of the international actors is that was a divided libya, and that meant also divided e, you with much of the you supporting the tripoli government but front certainly it seems many believe was sympathetic to general half the now the use seems to be all on the same page. yeah, i was going to ask you about that. i mean, it wasn't just a controversial issue in the us, but also very divisive one among you countries. what are, what are the dynamics in the current situation right now in libya, and how much hope is there that they can be a settlement to the conflict after this conference? what does that mentioned?

the issue of the foreign fighters is a problem going forward. certainly, there are a number of different countries that are range of different countries. notable though, the turks, who were on the side of the tripoli based government, they make the point that they are, they're invited by official input in detention and the russians. now the russians say they don't have forces they're, they're just rushing contract is that most diplomats will tell you that i believe the president putin would allow russian contractors there if you didn't want them there. so the form quite as issue number one. the other issue, which i think they'll be a lot of pressure on, is trying to keep the timeline of elections on december the 24th. they know if you look at the recent years in libya, 10 years ago, the fall of good afi then lead to division among the players in libya and the international community 10 last years for libya. things now as they stand with the national unity government has seized power in place,

looking the most optimistic they have in a decade. but they have to keep that pressure and that momentum. and there are serious questions about the election. some of suggesting it could be postponed, all those questioning exactly what that voting for, whether it's a new constitution, a new parliament or a new president. so i think some of the issues around the election and having it on time on december, the 24th will be high on the agenda for those leaders to the meeting right now in berlin. james space, our diplomatic editor with the latest stay on the libby to conference, which is getting underway in berlin today. leaders arriving in the german capital were expecting to hear from the un secretary general antonia good terrorist who set open proceedings with a pre recorded address, which we will bring to you live here on al jazeera when it happens. and still ahead on the program, india is government has a new cove in 1900 very and has been detected in 3 states. been ordered testing to be step top and the mars the post leader unsigned to cheese, back in court,

40 off the states to put very strips containment measures in place where the clusters of the various have been found. that includes contact tracing, testing preventing any gatherings, and also prioritizing vaccinations that they're saying that so father by then to $53.00 characteristics of what they call in the delta plus the variance that it is more transmissible that it has stronger binding to the receptive of long cells and that is a potential reduction in antibody response. they've also said that india is one of 9 countries with what they call in the delta plus has been identified. that also being found in the u. s. the u. k. switzerland, portugal, japan, poland, may, paul, china and russia. and they are trying to get the delta plus under control, which is something that they weren't able to do with the original delta variant, which we haven't balls in india and abroad. we have the white house chief medical

adviser to add to the fact you're saying on tuesday that the original delta variant is america's greatest threat to get included on the control. dr. patrick tang is a medical micro biologist and division chief of pathology science at cedar medical and research center. here in doha. he says the virus will keep evolving. so far we've seen a lot of the, the mutation being recycled by the buyer as it evolving the natural person for the buyers to keep evolving as long as we don't have it under control. so what we've seen with the delta variant and now the delta variant is that you know, the delta baron, it's already a variance of concern in now it picked up an additional mutation that similar to a previous there and the beta variance and, and potentially going to allow the virus to be able to have a higher ability to be in unity from the vaccine and from the 15.

but i think that the big back here is that, you know, the vaccine protection that would mean again, the beta variance is protected. so even though there's a minor reduction in bacteria advocate the for the m r n a back in. they are still highly effective. we see 80 to 90 percent protection against the beta. and you should expect the same thing for the new delta variance. the vast majority of mutation don't do anything for the virus. they don't make it more transmissible. they don't make it, give it the ability to bade immunity or increase it. they are the bath majority of invitation, due napping. right? so the only tiny proportion of vacation are able to give extra characteristics to the virus. but what we've been is that, you know, the different site of mutation are very similar between all the different variance

. they are converging in that, in terms of by using very similar invitation to do the same thing on some of the most vaccinated countries which relied heavily on chinese made jobs very, experiencing a resurgence in over 19 infections. data published by the new york times shows countries out pacing the us in vaccinations such as bahrain, chile and mongolia has some of the world worth outbreaks. and that's raise concerns about the effectiveness of the vaccines. it's a month until the opening ceremony for the tokyo olympics, and protesters have used the occasion to gather outside the japanese olympic headquarters to call for the government to cancel the gains. in a poll last month, more than 80 percent of participants said they didn't want the olympics to go ahead . japan's health care system is struggling with corona virus, and toki residents are worried about a new stage. meanwhile, olympic organizes have imposed a band on alcohol as part of tough new rules for spectators. they say the usual

festive mood at the event will have to be surprised to make sure it's safe and secure. organizes insist all necessary precautions will be in place to make sure the games are safe. as broad mcbride reports with one month to go before the game starts. this with the rehearsal for the opening ceremony with bus loads of stuff playing the part of l. m. p. and, but the organizes are still unable to predict to assure how this lympics will play out before the closing ceremony. also being put on show for the media, the athletes village, which will be home to $11000.00 participants. it was originally planned for many of them to eat together in vast dining halls, but instead, competitors will be asked to eat alone with extensive precautions in place, the organizes are insisting these games will be safe. after these are the i stayed in the athletes villages for total of 11 times 7 times as an athlete and 4 times as

a team leader. but without doubt, this village is by far the best they'll be restrictions on when and where spec to tis concert's, sing, and then numbers will be kept at 50 percent, which may be further restricted. by the time the games get underway, what small spectators from overseas or band dealing a big blow to businesses like memorial to not because sports bar in downtown tokyo, already struggling with business down 2 thirds during the pandemic. when we were hoping the gaines would give us a boost, but i'm torn because having more customers can cause a covert cluster. equally torn, it seems, is public opinion in japan about going ahead with these gains. you don't lucky. people are asked to make sacrifices and put up with the restrictions, but the government wants to hold the games with spectators. and i don't understand them. came from that. we've waited a year and we should just go ahead with

a stadium full of spectators and there's not enough information about people coming from outside japan and if they've been vaccinated, i'm concerned the virus will spread further than i. as official olympic posters are unveiled, there are still so many and answered questions. but finally, the biggest one is now seemingly resolved. the games will go on. mcbride, al jazeera ah . deadlines on al jazeera, dozens of people have been reportedly killed grafton as try, kate, a busy market in ethiopia is northern te gray region. how for workers in the village of took olga have told the associated press news agency that soldiers brand medical teams from traveling to the scene. a ron has condemned the u. s. seizure of 33 media websites calling it.
