was humanitarian crises in the world's, they will take shots even when they should not. i believe that sometimes what the saudi had been doing. the story behind the deadly attack by the saudi led coalition forces on a school bus in yemen, which killed 40 children yemen. the soda bus bombing on al jazeera, ah, we share the goal of the sovereign stable unified, secure libya, free from foreign interference. a new hope for water libya, as well as meeting and violin, focus on the elections and unifying the countries arm degree. ah,

hello there. i'm to solve your pay, this is out of their life. and so coming up the united states sees is a 3 media websites linked to iran. iran condemns it as a breach of freedom of speech. india is government says a new kind of in 1900. varian has been detected in 3 states and ordered testing to be stepped off growing discomfort just a month out from the cure, lympics protests against the games going ahead. while japan baffled the corona virus. ah, now the us secretary state says it's crucial that libya holds national elections in december to ensure peace and stability as me been can made those comments during an international conference. it's hardly taking place in berlin, which aims to reduce violence and the north african country. in the past year, libya has made swift progress and addressing a decade of chaos and violence that at one stage threatened to become

a full scale regional conflict representatives from the transitional government, all in berlin, taking part along with key foreign players, including the us, russia, turkey, and egypt, the desert, 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. when you would that send us one and a half years ago, libya was threatened with collapse. the economy was on the verge of collapse. we saw social tensions and divisions. today, we're in a critical phase, but we're also in a very hopeful phase. today we can speak with a unified voice and say,

we will not return to war. while it's now get more on this from and rainy. he's in berlin following this for us. adam, as we were saying before, this is the 1st time that the us has participated in this battle and conference process. how is the present shaping thing? what's really important because it's clearly a big objective for the new president joe biden in the us to show his support for this conference and for libby is increasing stability. and he's shown, of course, by sending anthony blinking here who his comments, we just heard. make clear that this, this agenda is a packed one and a very tight one. actually that to get rid of the foreign fighters that are in libya, whether that's national fight or some other countries or mercenaries, support this presidential election in december. and also create a space for the creation of a cohesive single libyan military. instead of these disparate militias had been

fighting across the country. so the u. s. is support is key, but also key is to hear the words of the libyan prime minister. we just heard from as well. this is the 1st time that him and his in term government are taking part in these talks. 18 months ago, they were not invited. there was no term government really to speak of in the sense that they have now. and he's also trying to convince all these powerful players to have faith in him that with their support, he will be able to deliver on this idea of stability in libya. and we'll be watching to see what he says coming out of this conference and what promises and what real practical actionable plan. these players all come up with because they made some of the same comments 18 months ago and violence only continue there. what we're looking for now is actually see what keith is given to any plan and, and how they can make sure that these elections come up peacefully in december just a matter of months, and that libya continues on this path towards stability. adam rainy in berlin forest following that conference. thank you,

adam. dozens of people have reportedly been killed after an air strike hit a busy market in ethiopia, northern te gray region health workers in the village of to go go, have told the associated press soldiers blocked medical teams from reaching the scene. this attack also happened during some of the most intense fighting since the conflict began in november. early i spoke to marson cloud. he's a visiting senior fellow in the department of war studies at kings college london. and he says, the evidence suggests the ethiopian air force is responsible. the frankly, nobody else who could have done it. the air try and air force is not operating in the area. the to grants have no air force. who else could have done it? it must have been an ethiopian jet. i don't think that will come as any surprise to anyone. basically, the 2 grand have been on the defensive ever since. the war began in november. they were 1st driven after weston gray, then they were driven off of the capital mckellar. and now they have begun

to take back some of the areas that they lost. they are fighting gays. both ethiopian and era trained forces are trained for you may recall have been coming in from the north. the europeans asked them to leave, but they have so far not done. so. and a string of tongues have now been briefly re taken by the grands in a very major offensive. they say they have captured up 210000 e. c o p, and troops. now of course, they're not verified, but that's the kind of claim that they are making that they are now on the offensive. they've got the, they say, the peons on the run in some areas. but this is not a war that's going to be over in 5 minutes. the last war in this area lofted 17 years. this one being going on right month. well, let's now speak to him. morgan to joins us from. got

a reef ensued on near the border with european hit, the un is already declared famine conditions and thoughts of t gray. and i know you've spoken to people who've been forced to flee that what are you hearing from them about what the situation on the ground of life? well, 1st of all, let's look at the location where this airstrike happened. it happened in northwest of mickely. that's a place where people will not be able to escape from to come here to refugee comes in. sedans, go body and facilitate. should they want to? that's because of the location. and because of the fact that if you are blocking the borders so the number of refugees were able to cross here to fix the safety as well as committed parent assistance is getting lesser and lesser as time goes by. and there are a lot of people who are displaced already by the conflicts integrate, more than 2000000 people have already been displaced. and the u. n is running more than 350000 are facing families. so it is expected that the aspect that happened today as well as where the s, right?

so we are expected by the rebel forces who say that they will, if they're expecting further attacks than that they're also trying to launch it on a time to take some of the areas back that's expected to result in more displacement and more people in need of aid people in the area are reporting that access to health care and medical assistance from the strike is being blog. that is the report that refugees here is actually true because they think that they, they can believe that because they say that 15 return 4th is and if you up in 4th is blocking a looks like the situation in 3rd grade is going to get worse. and worse as the days go by, have a morgan on the ground for us and i've got a reason to down near the european border. thank you so much. have a now, iran says it stopped an attempt to act of sabotage against the building of its atomic energy organisation. this author just hours after the u. s. c. 33 media

websites with links to iran on tuesday. hereon condemned the move, calling it a breach of freedom of speech. the u. s. previously sanctioned iran revolutionary god, as well as state media outlets, making it illegal for them to do business with american. 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. although jabari has a nation now from tehran, while 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 ron's head of iran un mission, who said that the radiance will pursue this. it's

a legal channels 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 us at illegal act. we've also heard from the countries for ministry, who issued a statement saying that this was a shameful and act dark 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 is the iranian side. well, that's got the view from washington and speech white house correspondent, kennedy. how could i, kimberly, what all we hearing from the americans about just why they took this action against the website? the timing is rather curious the department of justice is making the argument that this is essentially in response to actions by iran and other words. the reason being given for taking down these websites by

various us agencies including the f b i, is that the united states alleges that a ron was using the site, masking them as new sites, but really they were to attack the united states is democratic processes. now, there have not been specific examples, but the overall allegation is that these were essentially sites that were spreading miss information that was leading into the united states. and that is why the united states took the faction. you're right. the timing is curious because of the united states and the white house insist that the reason iranian elections have had no impact on their staff or their overarching goal of trying to get the j. c p. away that agreement from 2015 to limit around the nuclear program, but that is the primary goal and those negotiations that have just wrapped up and the end of the 6 round don't seem to have yielded to any sort of tangible result. and there's still not a 7th round that they have been de schedule. so certainly this is problematic and

trying to reach that goal and adding to that well, the united states continues to insist that the president elect, who says he does not want to meet joe biden. that this will have no impact that the decision makers to the supreme leader. so nothing's changed. clearly something has changed because the timing of this is coming to days after those statements. so we're watching very carefully to see what more the white house might have to say. in the upcoming press briefing in the coming hours. that's our white house correspondent. kimberly how get there. thanks so much. kimberly. well, let's bring you some breaking news now. and southern african nations have agreed to deploy forces to mozambique at a meeting that was taking place in the future the most in beacon capital. the southern african development community has agreed to send military support to the region. now we know that a leak report based on the findings of the blocks technical mission, had recommended a 3000 member force. and we'll circle back in april armed groups stormed the town

of palmer in the north of mose and be killing dozens of people. displacing thousands where people hurry, matessa, she's across this meeting for us from her rory in neighboring zimbabwe. how are you? so santa is now going to deploy these troops, but do yet know who will actually contribute them. i know results as a thin on the ground. there no, we don't know yet. which country the truth will come from early on in the day. most antiques pleasantly and you see fit that the region. fedex should play be the primary pot in the, in the fight against terrorism. so it will likely because you but have the capability to go in and help most and be probably come, you'd like for africa, which is the biggest economy in the region. can you like them bob way and then maybe and then go and have fort before and regional deployment in that in the see the 1990. if they have the capacity, if they have the money, maybe they could be deployed. what we know from the proposal that was suggested that whatever to go in there will help them be perhaps patrol the indian ocean

coastline bill patrol the board a of the times in the we some would be the surgeon thought to be coming from and also patrol neighboring borders with most beek as well, but of course will be money. for example, we know that economies in south africa had been ravaged by the current divide and didn't make country. now are battling to try and buy vaccine, thought somebody to buy as many vaccines as possible. so that for the, for bob who has decided to cut the defense budget because of the economy of recession be in the country at the moment. symbolically says, it's under sanctions, it limits it also from being asked to be involved as it wants to be. but it seemed that leaders from the region one to help but be more than big seems, have accepted the assistance the quinn now is, when would that deployment take place? who the ships are going to be? and what exactly are the going to be involved and of course, and harry, obviously this is not a new conflict. can you give us a sense of the challenges on the ground there in the scale of it? obviously, hugely deteriorating humanitarian situation. also

a huge number of people still displace the main problem is that this a couple of the guided province, it's pretty much most and getting much information up that information for me, information is a bit difficult. we were trying to follow this conflict. another problem of course, is that this competence been going on since 2017 and it's been getting worse and worse with time. the last biggest attack was in palm i. this time we made the gas installation is from the prince copying patel. they'd have to close time because of insecurity in the area, but if the people on the ground the locals would be most affected by the evil we told that could 2017 what 700000 people have been displaced from the attack. it was started in march, they went, the 1000 people have been displayed and the tests are happening. just last week, aid was a saying that a group of people just outside palmer simply went out to get me to the water in the forest. they got, they were killed, some of them were behead to be bought, adults and children as well. these are things that some food needs to be done to be

taken on the ground when the to, to be deployed. what countries are coming from? what equipment they're going to have, it's, i'm waiting to find out more from, from the regionally the and date and we will be watching very closely. indeed having matessa there across this forest from her already ins and bob way. thank you . hi. while phil, i have you here on al jazeera, the final edition, find out why hong kong largest pro democracy paper is likely to shut down by saturday. ah, ah. hello, here's the deal for the southwest monsoon. we're going to get a bit of a breather in particular for the west coast of india on thursday. but let me take it to the north east where we still have some rounds of rain. in particular for the pradesh, as we head toward be har. westbank all into a dish, and you know,

when you see the darker colors here, that's the more intense rain that we'll, we'll see. so toward nepal and also coastal sections of the ad mart. we're still once again, buckets of rain can be expected or plumb drains toward the south, falling along the pearl river valley look what they've done to hong kong, $89.00 millimeters of rain over the past 24 hours. and that rain is steering toward taiwan. i look at this tropical depression in the pacific were tracking it out. so here we are on thursday, i'm going to move your head toward sundays. watch what happens as it moves up the pacific. plenty of rain for a cue to chicago rate through into honshu. so yes, so soccer and tokyo some what days for you on sunday, se asia we'll get into some dry spells for indo china and you know we, i think the better bet to see some rain and thunder storms is across java jakarta. we've got you in for 31 and for the philippines toward the north and the south. so devil, 32 degrees and we've got rain in the forecast for you on thursday. the

be part of the debate itself defeated the end because it in the us or in the u. k. because it will just come back again when no topic is off the table. what we wanted to talk about, big man with white man touching a dream, where a global audience become a global community, jumping to the comment section, and part of our discussion. there are like kinetic efforts to silence on the online faith on al jazeera. ah the ah,

logan i'm the saucy. attain. let's remind you about top stories the fallon, southern african nations have agreed to deploy forces to mozambique as meeting him . prieto's, american beacon capital in april group stormed the town of palmer in the, nor killing thousands of people and displacing the us secretary of state anthony bank. and it says it's crucial that libya hope national election in december and 2 pieces. the benefit blinking is that a conference in berlin aimed at reducing violence and dozens of people, if importantly, been killed, often strike hit a market. and if you're a p, a t great region, health work is in the village of to go go, have told the associated press that told us blocked medical teams from reaching the same house. you don has also you on security council to intervene and a dispute about ethiopia, hydroelectric them on the blue nile to dawn, and egypt worry, it could affect water levels and food on foreign ministry. once the security

council, if you're, if you're not to fill the data as planned this july. but if you repeat, says the dam is crucial and lifting millions out of poverty. while 9 separatists politicians and activists, promising to keep pushing for a capital and republic after their released from prison and spain, they had been sobbing sentences of between 9 and 13 years after capital. and he has failed to session bid in 2017 prime minister petro sanchez, pardon them on tuesday, and adjust to the fostering dialogues about to be critics meanwhile, have called the sanchez to step down, arguing that there is problems undermine spain's unity. new job today. what we want is amnesty today is a day of joy, especially for those who left prison today and for our families. but the joy is not full because what we want is repression to in, so that every person who's being punished can go ash on the street, freely lack of those in exile can return. today is a step towards that goal. let's just use the small victory to achieve our big

victory. amnesty self determination and the cadillac republican, hong kong pro democracy newspaper, apple daily has confirmed. it will shut down operations by saturday of its assets are frozen. and this announcement now follows the arrest of its chief columnist, the writer, known by his pen named leaping, is now the 6th staff member who has been detained this month on the basis of national security law. the week of holland has this update, 4th from hong kong. i will daily have said that the last edition of its popular pro democracy newspaper will likely hit the sounds on thursday. the board of directors say this is due to current conditions prevailing in hong kong. and comes as yet another one of his employees was arrested under the national security law. this time of popular and prolific columnist who is known for his outspoken views on china. this is seen as an extension of a raid and a number of arrests from last thursday. and with 500 police came into the building

behind me, arrested a number of executives and editors, and confiscated reporters journals, notebooks and computers. in the 1st of such a move on a media organization, apple daily owned by jimmy lie, he's the media mogul, and a 1000000000 are known for his outspoken views on democracy and fonts supporter of democracy in hong kong. he is currently in jail facing charges under the national security law of collusion with foreign forces amongst other charges. his assets were frozen by the government and so over the assets of next digital media, which is the parent company of apple daily apples aly had been warning that it was quickly running out of resources to pay itself and continue operations while meanwhile, the 1st person in hong kong to be charged under beijing's national security law is now on trial. coming in, kit is accused of terrorism and inciting secession for driving his motorcycle into

a group of police officers while flying a protest flag. last july, he's been denied a jury for his trial, though with the government citing concerns about the safety of those children. while me on mazda personally to long santucci, is facing a new trial on wednesday. she is charged with violating the colonial era official secrets act, which carries a heavy jails him up to 14 in the military already brought a series of criminal charges against since taking power. florence louis has won out from the malaysian capital call, a local the challenge again on tons who chief for breaking the official secrets, is one of the most serious charges against her. it carries a maximum punishment of 14 years in prison. and she's been charged along with 4 others, including astray and economic advisor, shawn to know who was arrested several days after the qu, now the case is being heard in the supreme court,

which is highly unusual. the vertical, the supreme court cannot be appealed because it's the highest court in miasma. but we also understand that the supreme court will be hearing arguments about whether the district court may be more suitable court to hear this case. few people doubt on cancer, she will get a fair trial. there have been several irregularities before and during her hearings, including how her lawyers have a difficulty getting access to her. how the charges against her have been announced . days, weeks, and even months after she was arrested, members of the public and journalists have no access to the proceedings. now, meanwhile, violence and unrest in myanmar not only continue but appear to be spreading. opposition to army rule, had initially been peaceful protests on the streets. but these have been turning increasingly violent with bombings, as well as killings of june,

to appointed local officials in to the pandemic now and more than 20 cases of a highly infectious curve in 1900 strain has now been found in 3 indian states. it's closely related to the delta vary and that was also fast detected in the country health officials. the saying this new delta plus mutation is a variant of concern. while i spoke to dr. patrick tang, he is a medical microbiologist and division chief of pathology sciences at pseudo medical research center. he says, the virus will keep evolving, but vaccines are still laundry proofing effective even against the new variance. 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 that delta barrier is that you know, the, delta barrett, it's already a barrier 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 go into allow the virus to be able to have a higher ability to be in unity from the back being and from the 15. but i think that the big back here is that, you know, that back the protection that would mean again the beta variant is protected. so even though there's a minor reduction in back, you know, efficacy for. ready 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 with a 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 vast majority of conditions do natty, 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 fight or mutation are very similar between all the different barriers . they are converging in that, in terms of, by using very similar invitation to do the same thing while and just one month the wells attention will shift to take care of for the delayed 2020 summer olympic games purchased as of use the occasion to gather outside the japanese and then pick headquarters, calling on the government to cancel the games. in a poll last month, more than 80 percent of participants said they don't want the olympics to even go ahead. japan's health care system is still struggling with the pandemic, and people are also worried about a new search in the capital. but meanwhile, olympic organizes, if imposed a ban on alcohol as part of tough new rules for spectators. they say the usual

festive route at the event will have to be suppressed in order to make sure it's safe and secure. and very neat. domestic fans actually allowed to attend, organizes still insisting all the necessary precautions will be put in place to make sure the games are indeed safe, as robert pride report. 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 they 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 we started out this village is by far the best. they'll be restrictions on when and where spectators conceras sing, and then numbers will be kept at 50 percent, which may be further restricted by the time the games get under way. what small spectators from overseas or band dealing a big blow to businesses like memorial to knock sports bar in downtown tokyo, already struggling with business down 2 thirds during the pandemic. when we, when we were hoping the gains would give us a boost. but i'm torn because having more customers can cause a coven cluster. equally torn it seems, is public opinion in japan about going ahead with these games? 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, geico, courage, so that 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 unanswered questions, but finally, the biggest one is now seemingly resolved. the games will go on. mcbride al jazeera . ah. hello again. this is al jazeera and these are the headlines. southern africa nations have agreed to deploy forces to mozambique at a meeting in the most beacon capital in april. arm degrees stormed the town of palmer and the north, killing dozens of people and displacing thousands. hiring re tasa has now the

latest from her already.
