where a global audience becomes a global community, jumping to the comment question, and part of the discussion there are like kinetic efforts to silence fell opinions on the online, based on al jazeera, ah, knew hope for peace and stability in libya. the foreign minister says mercenaries could pull out within days. ah madison, this indulgence alive from also coming up nations in southern africa, agreed to send troops to mozambique to help him fight isolated bruce un ones of catastrophe in madagascar over millions along the brink of starvation. and other

sign of a warming planet, the draft of a major climate report is leak. seeing millions will be at risk. ah, let is forum and assess as mercenaries could be out of the country within days, national among ocean representatives of libya as transitional unity government meeting world leaders in berlin. united nations says about $20000.00 foreign fighters for hire in the country. the exit is part of a plan to reduce violence in libya ahead of national elections in december. practical mechanisms, not just ideas on paper, but practical and concrete ways of unifying. the libyan army. reintegrating, malicious, withdrawing mercenaries, and foreign forces from libya, securing the border. unifying the libyan central bank to name a few. the people of my country pin so much hope and the 2nd conference of the

berlin process. my people are looking forward to seeing more concrete measures which have a positive impact and the ground. it's time for actions because my people have heard enough autumn writing has more from berlin. the prominent role that us secretary of state anthony blink and played at this conference on wednesday in berlin, shows that president joe biden had a stronger commitment to libya than it's predecessor, former president donald trump. whether or not they're going to backup that commitment with some real strong measures is yet to be seen. but speaking alongside german chancellor anglo merkel, earlier in berlin. this is what the secretary of state had to say about their commitment to libya. we have a responsibility, particularly in this moment to demonstrate that democracies can deliver, deliver in the lives of our people, deliver for people around the world. and there again,

the example that the chancellors set, the germany set could not be stronger. and today is a very good example of that with the work that germany has done on libya. and the hope of this moment to actually see libya, hopefully take a course of security freedom, independence, backed by the international community. more than a dozen countries, along with the united nations, took part in these talks here in berlin on wednesday, and they all agreed that libya must be free of foreign fighters. free of mercenaries hold elections on december 24th. and that all these militias in the country are demobilized and disarmed and folded into a single military that reports to civilian authority. they want so many concrete steps or proposals outlined in the closing statements. there were some agreement, and these talks by country such as turkey and russia that have had fighters in the country or mercenaries. russia claims that they don't have any national fighters there. that there would be some agreed order and balance to withdraw of people

fighting on the ground that, that they would respect an agreement to be made at a later date. but so far, hearing what's coming out of this is a lot of promises of support, but not so much detailed, specific measures about how all these countries in the us are going to help build a stable peaceful and democratic libya. dozens of people have reportedly been killed after an air strike it. a busy market in ethiopia is to great region health workers and the village of rogue. i told the associated press but soldiers blog to medical teams from reaching the scene on tuesday. it's happened during some of the most intense fighting. the conflicts integrate began in november, not knows who carried out the attack. hippa, morgan has moved from godaddy from sudan near the border field here. the flu, thanks to look at it as bad as strike. also billions in the town of northwest the great capital mickely and then is offensive that has been launched by the green

people's liberation from the life which the government has been fighting since november. both events are likely to result in more people being displaced. the un has already said that more than 2000000 people are internally trapped inside a great, i'm more than 5000000 are in need of military and a for survival. 70000 people have cross into sudan godaddy, and let's say they're spread across refugee camp here. but people who are integral are in dire need of many, perry and assistance, and you may have relief supplies and the situation is still getting worse. it's worth know, think that this comes just days after the parliamentary elections were held and which degree did not take part and because of the ongoing conflict. so if anything people are expecting that the situation integrate will get worse and that the human services tuition will be dire. they're expecting more displacement and refugees here say that they're concerned about their relative. we're still trapped in other parts of because of, of the region because the border areas have been lost and they won't be able to

access the roads to be able to make it through refugee camps. therefore, they will have to suffer from the impact of the conflict bottom plot as a visiting the senior fellow in the department of war studies at kings college london, he says, evidence suggest the se, okay, and air force is responsible for the attack. 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 area that they lost. they are fighting gays, both ethiopian and era trained forces are transport. you may recall have been

coming in from the north. the ethiopians asked them to leave, but they have so far not done. so and a string of towns have now been briefly retaken 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 rule that's going to be over in 5 minutes. the last war in this area last 17 years. this one's been going on right month. several countries within the southern africa have approved the deployment of troops to mozambique to help the government there with the ongoing violence, dogs being held in the capital. my pluto and april armed groups stormed the town of palmer in the north. kenning, dozens of people,

and displacing thousands more. 100 latasha has more from these. and bobby and capital hardy. what we know so far, what we think, i'm not saying that these groups will do is there will be fat most and b me for example. they will help petrol, the indian ocean coastline, and they will petrol the border area with hands near with some of these to be coming from there also patrol from the border areas at that neighbor mozambique as well. that in theory, every country in the static reason we have an african me to contribute to this data by force, but it can not make lee. many countries are having a hard time. you cannot move you because of the covered 19th and then you can have a talent, they all have, for example, most cutting and he's not trying to raise money to procure vaccines to come back on a virus, but then a big come to live. so that's what's the biggest economy in the region. and they also going through the equinox problems, they'd have to cut by just the defense budget as well them by way, which is the way to be good army. it says it's under sanctions that could limited

as well what it can do to help intervene and, and help them be the all these things are a play. what's important to note is that this wouldn't be the 1st time that she from the regional, from different countries, the coming to another country, for example, in the late 1990 than bob, wy and girl, and the maybe send soldiers to the need for the government in the early ninety's and bobby, for example, deploy 2 months and be centralized. be to deal with an anomaly. at times it has been done before. the question now is who, which country will form part of the stand by force? when would they come in? and what exactly would they do with this? must be sedan as, as young security council to intervene in a dispute about a few of his hydro electric dam on the blue nile. so don, and egypt worry, it could have an impact on water levels, surrounds foreign minister once the security council to urge ethiopia not to fill the damn this july as planned. ethiopia says the downs crucial to lifting millions

out of poverty. iran says it stopped and attempted active, sabotaged against the headquarters of it's atomic energy organisation. us seized 33 media websites with links to iran on tuesday. to han condemns that move, calling it a breach of freedom of speech. the us previously sanctioned iran's revolution regard. i'm state media outlets making it illegal for them to do business with americans. or how much mastery is associate professor of media and cultural studies at the doha institute for graduate studies. he says the u. s. is trying to send a message to runs new president abraham rising. the united states has a history of sort of paying lip service to these, these democratic notions of, you know, freedom and freedom of speech and freedom of the press. and really kind of acting in ways that contradict their own, their own ideals. you know, obviously that didn't go stations or ongoing. the u. s. wants to expand the

terms of the nuclear agreement. meanwhile, the president, the lax, and iran is opposed to those, you know, to expanding the, the terms of the agreement as it. and in fact has reportedly said that he wants sanctions really. so i'm looking at this as kind of a message that this is a, this is a message that the us government is trying to send to, to the new iranian regime or the incoming regime. but i do think it can backfire. it's, you know, i heard one analyst call this, you know, like in this, to a game of whack a mole. you shut down these websites, but then they're, you know, the right backup and reportedly, several of the websites are already backup. so it begs the question, you know, what is the point the tele and says it's recent territorial gains in kindest, on our promising and will lead to greater security as fighters have captured about 50 districts in the past month, as well as

a border crossing with tickets done by the us envoy and jonathan has one to spike in violence is a threat to the region stability. that alliance says the withdrawal of foreign troops by september would send what she called a seismic tremor through afghanistan. still ahead on our data from bad to worse and you delta very in to put on a virus is forcing countries to reinstate restrictions to stop the spread of another deadly outbreak and growing discomfort just a month out from the tokyo olympics. protest against the gains going ahead. while japan bottles the co, the virus pandemic. ah . hello from dough. good to be with you are shamal, wind blow endowed across the gulf, has east and guess what that's allowed temperatures to rise. so we look at sac q

$848.00 over the last 24 hours. we're going to note down a bit as we head towards thursday with a high of 47 degrees. and you know, that humidity has been building toward cats are doha, this will create sun peasy conditions, fog and misty. a particularly for the morning and the evening just because of that high humidity off. next we're going to go to the mediterranean. we're temperatures are climbing here. as well is near 35 degrees on tale at 32, but look at says cyprus, it garcia, you could be touching 40 on thursday. ok, i think saturday will be the better bed to see that 40 degree reading. we'll just have to wait and see through the tropics of africa, our usual spells of wet weather through the democratic republic of congo central african republic rate through the gulf of guinea. and as we look towards south, you know, for the eastern cape, it's unsettled on thursday. but watch it says we head toward friday, it's the western keeps, turn a lot of wind associated with this disturbance. we look at the next 3 days for cape

town because this wind gets up to 75 kilometers per hour. a bit of a break on saturday, but those winds ramp rate back up on sunday. the weather bag, energy and change to every part of our universe. more small. to continue the change all around the shape by technology and human ingenuity. we can make it work for you and your business. ah,

the notion of our top story is this maybe as foreign ministers as thousands of mercenaries to be out of our country within days of preventatives of libya, government and world leaders in berlin to try to establish security in the country, head of national elections in december the un says is deeply alarmed by reports, dozens of people were killed in an air strike a few of his teeth raised region health workers in the village and told the associated press. but soldiers blocked medical teams from reaching the sea on tuesday. several countries in the southern africa have agreed to send forces to mozambique give amusing, in my, put of the most ambitious capital in april on gildstone baton of palmer in the north killing. dozens of people in displacing thousands more. in

more than 20 cases of an even more infectious strain dub delta plus have been found in 3 indian states. health officials say the new mutation is a serious concern. on tuesday, german chancellor, anglo merkel criticized european countries after arise and infections in tourism dependent portugal were half of new cases or the delta variant public. but all i regret that we haven't been able to agree on common travel restrictions among the member states, and this now has its consequences. we now have a situation in portugal in this situation could maybe have been avoided from that and that is why we have to work harder stuff. we did quite well in the past few months, but we are not yet where i wish the european union would be for china plants to keep pen demik border restrictions in place for at least another year. even suspending some domestic flights for fear of a new outbreak. and on wednesday, russia announced its highest single day death toll in months. blaming the new

for the leaders of catalonia secessionist movement, leaving prison surrounded by supporters and all that home in to continue the campaign that catalog independence length is developed wrangler political. we want to transfer to the field of politics, all aspirations commitments an ideal because there is no ideal and commitment, more nobles, and that of the freedom of a country, the independence of our country, than the republican values than the commitment to social justice and the freedom of all people but with their freedom comes conditions, all mine have been borrowed from public office and their pardons rest on not committing what the spanish government would consider serious crimes. they had each set more than 3 years behind bars for their roles in the 2017, a legal independence referendum, figured off the work political crisis in spain and decades. the crisis that may

have recently, but is by no means over. most spaniards outside of catalonia, against the pardon, but there were very few options available to help resolve the current situation. please prime minister federal sanchez has banked on the move ending the political pass game he says is to kick start talks and to secure reconciliation between the central government and capital and nationalist. but it has drawn fury from his political opponents. jacqueline gobble and the lovely people got all that. i cannot solve it up. you have placed yourself on the wrong side of history, which will not absolve you. if you have any dignity left you should resign today and submit this decision to the judgment as the such as will meet the cattle and lead a pet article on tuesday. an opportunity which he hopes could lead to better relations with the pro independence movement. but he runs the risk of gambling away. his

minority government. so the diagonal i'll just, sarah cuba, you and envoy says the us, they can all make embargo against the island is like an act of war. the communist countries appealing to the un general assembly to en sanctions which of last have for decades and which it calls in humane. it comes as banks in cuba suspend deposits of us dollars, making life harder for people. and he got a report from miami. but there's a lot happening. president joe biden came to office promising changes in us policy toward cuba. but months after we moved into the white house, sanctions remain in place. and diplomacy is strange at best. the crippling effects of the us embargo recently led to the suspension of cash deposits in us dollars. they just source of income for ordinary cubans. it affects me from the point of view that i have relatives abroad to send me foreign currency, but well, we will look for other ways for it to arrive. it's all a far cry from president obama's historic visit in 2016 when relations were

normalized. the u. s. embassy reopened and travel to cuba allowed president biden. it seems is not following suit. a cuba policy shift or additional steps is currently not among the president's top foreign policy priorities, but it is an issue of course we will remain engaged in and focused on in essence, that means retaining hundreds of tough measures put in place by president trump, including we designated cuba, state sponsor of terrorism. critics of the embargo say, despite calls for democracy and improved human rights in cuba, changes can be made. they want to see some evidence of progress, politically, economically as, but that's not necessarily an impediment to perhaps taking initial steps to get rid of some of the more strict or, or tough sanctions that the trump administration put in place. major modifications

to such a complex and long standing whether laws would need congressional approval. something not likely to happen. but the reason behind biden's lack of action may be more political during the last presidential election here in florida, democrats suffered losses in pop because president was so tough on cuba. fear of communism runs deep among both cuban american and hispanic voters, and support for the embargo remains high, the by the ministration. keenly aware of just how crucial those votes are reason enough, perhaps to keep the status quo. the cuban americans like ingrid arenas. the blame lays squarely with the cuban government. they don't allow any jones people that, of course, have new ideas to have a new meds or have have a good hub. no, they don't know anybody who thinks different new songs. so have to be a change. the only way for you on people is to change. speaking in the havana late

last year, cubis foreign minister condemned the embargo saying it brought nothing but paid for the u. s. government has tightened in extreme and unprecedented ways the blockade against cuba. taking advantage of the terrible conditions caused by the cobra, 1910 sampling. the blockade has always been a criminal act. a genocidal act as established by the geneva convention and act of economic warfare. for more than 25 years. the un general assembly has voted in favor of ending the us embargo on cuba. the president biden, who was part of the cuban normalization process during the bomber administration. and so far left the embargo firmly in place at the gala corolla 0, miami, florida, an additional $420000000.00 people will be exposed to extreme heat waves of temperatures rise by 2 degrees celsius. that's one of the findings of a un drafts report on climate change. it's also predicting up to 18000000 people to be at risk of hunger by 2050. if emissions are not reduced,

the draft reports as the effects of climate change, including the extension of species is getting worse. jennifer frances is a senior scientist at the woodward climate research center in the u. s. and she says, what already seen the detrimental effects of climate change? places that are both warm and humid will be where we're going to see the most impacts on human life. because when you combine that humidity with high temperatures, it means that your, your body cannot get rid of the heat that it generates as part of its normal operation. and if that combination of heat and, and moisture gets too high, that's when we see a lot of people succumbing to these heat ways. but we've already seen heat waves this summer in the northern hemisphere in the western part of north america and parts of europe in the middle east. and but you know, it can, it can extend pretty far north as well up into even siberia,

where last summer we saw the temperature is exceeding 100 degrees fahrenheit. for the 1st time, we're pretty much spans all realms of light. we're talking about agriculture, making it more difficult to grow crops that we normally would grow in certain areas . and especially if you combine that with either drought or too much rain. and we can see both of those extremes happening. it also affects our fisheries, as we, as most of the heat that is trapped by greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide, in particular, goes into our oceans. we're already seeing the impacts of the warming oceans on destroying our coral reefs. shifting species of fish farther towards the poles and also melting the ice up in alaska, the arctic, and even antarctic us. so it's hard to under, under, under state. how important this is this extra warming, not just for people,

but for all life on the planet. people to madagascar on the verge of starvation after the worst drought in 40 years, they're the ones food agency says there's a desperate need for aid with long attrition, more than doubling in the past 4 months. and actual brian reports this days, it waste land and southern madagascar was once airable and fertile. but years of drought mean only a few patches of green remain. the lack of water has destroyed crops and sandstorms cover whatever's left and a layer of dust. the food here has nearly run out. many families are forced to eat and sick the leaves to survive. it took me that in the morning. i prepare the plate of insects. i clean them up as best i can give them. there's almost no water. my children, i have been eating his plans every day for 8 months because we have nothing else to eat and no rain to allow us to harvest what we have sewn aid groups a warning of catastrophe,

especially for children like these 2 now orphans after the mother died of hunger, the arms of wasting away, while they stomachs. a blow said by malnutrition, when they had allowed to fire, look it up. i rely on god. today we have absolutely nothing to eat except cactus leaves that we are trying to clean up. we have nothing left, their mother is dead and my husband is dead. what do you want me to say? our life is all about looking for capital lees again and again to survive. medicaid because southern region is the center of the crisis. more than a 1000000 people, about half of the areas population need food aid, and the karone of ours pandemic has made everything worse, flowing the delivery of much needed supplies. many of these women and children have walked for hours to get help, were facing the worst drought in over 40 years. and this is an area where people depend on their own agriculture, home grown school, meals, small holder farmers. this is how they lived down here,

but with drought back to back to back. people can't survive. and so the government partner with the world food program, others were doing the best we can. but it's a terrible situation who reigns during the c as planting season, suggest yet another harvest will fail. the us food agency says the world must act now, or a generation could be lost to famine. alexia o'brien al jazeera a. this is going to say that these are the top stories. libby as foreign ministers, as thousands of mercenaries could be out of a country within days. representatives or libya is government are meeting one leaders in berlin to foster security ahead of national elections in december. the un says is deeply alarmed by reports, dozens of people were killed in an air strike. and if you appeal to gray region

health workers in the village of to go, i told the associated press that soldiers blocked. busy medical teams from regency on tuesday some of the most critically.
