and due to the credit of $900.00 demonstrators in bangkok, demanding the resignation of the prime minister and an overhaul of the constitution . now india's prime minister and the render moody is currently meeting leaders from indian administered kashmir for the 1st time since the region was stripped of its 4 . ptolemy 2 years ago, some of the politicians at moody meeting were among thousands of people arrested in a crackdown that followed the decision in 2019. they are expected to ask him to restore the muslim majority regions of special status. let's speak to elizabeth problem. she joined us from new delhi where those talks are taking place. so this meeting is now well on the way. what are they hoping to get out of it? hello natasha. well, we heard from one of the media politicians before the meeting and he said that unfortunately there is no agenda. but what they were invited for was a free and open open debate. and we know what the politician there are 14

who are coming from india administered push made and most of them are coming from the kush, me valley. this is the man the union territory is called of general interest. me and jump is made up, is hindu majority, and the push me valley is muslim. majority. most of the politicians, the 14 politicians who are attending from the muslim majority could meet the valley and they have made it very clear since the regions autonomy will revoke. and august 2019 what they want. this is just the 1st time that they've been given an opportunity to present their case to the 2 prime minister that into more modi. and that is a return, not just the general push me being a state, not a union territory, ruled by the central government as it has been, but a return to statehood. and also a return to the autonomous dashes that will guaranteed under the indian constitution, which the indian government revolt. now this autonomous special status. the only

one who meet had meant that it was allowed to have its own constitution. it was about to have a separate sag and the freedom to make most of its own laws to bet what these politicians on it, that seems doesn't seem like it's in the realm of possibility given prime minister in ramadi and his hand to nash from the side of the party, it has been a long held promise of death to trip off the status of that in august 2019. but what premonition mowdy has previously said is that they are willing to return statehood to fish need, which means that, you know, it would have a local assembly estate assembly, and that it would be able to elect regional leaders. and the government has constituted a commission to look into redrawn, parliamentary state assembly constituencies. and this is seen as a precursor speculation to possibly having states elections which a long overdue, so that could be on the cards. and as before on them,

they're watching that meeting for us and new delhi, thanks so much less. now, 2 years after its territorial defeat and iraq, i thought still remains active in several northern and western provinces. and now a federal police operation is trying to rule out those remaining fighters. but as iran con reports from her, we just security is coming at a cost for the people who live there. sunrise and who and the rocky federal police head out on patrol their mission to secure the farm lands round here. searching for the remaining isolators who control this area for 3 years in 2014 and look for explosives and weapons. technology plays an important role thermal imaging cameras and drones, a part of the intelligence gathering operation. high visibility is the main tactic . however, i still fight is it operate here a from here they have deep family and tribal connections and despite the heavy police presence,

use roadside bombs and snipers to attack patrols. to look at the vs. there are still many isis groups operating inside the liberated area because they still find sympathizes logistical support and funding. so we have to find these sympathizes and deal with it, not only by military force, but also true winning the hearts and minds of local residents by showing how dangerous the i. so id, ology is on political, social, and criminal levels. police search, palm houses, and nearby buildings based on information provided by rocky and coalition sources, or from local people. they also mount run rate. this is alma, whose house is being inspected today, surrounded by police out there. i asked him if he was comfortable talking about his experience. he says he's glad they have a lot of of a minor security forces are doing a good job, the professional and there are no more security violations. the area is secure and

they will also help us if we need to organize farming. so we don't have problems with neighboring farmers. despite the security during the day at night, there's a curfew which runs 10 pm to 5 am not unlikely to be lifted anytime soon. well, the reason these patrols are so big and we've counted about 20 vehicles so far is quite simply, this is a show of force. it's a show, a force locals that there is actually security within this area, resource or so forth to ice will fight is the remnants of ice will fight is the may, will be in this area that they on the ground and that they are looking for them actively the federal police, along with the iraqi army in the militia force, is known as the p. m. f. where part of the front line troops in the fight against deisel, they won't release figures of how many police were killed or injured in fighting and ongoing operations. but medical sources suggest it's in the thousands this couple of the sun and the grieving continues to say that i was shot on march. when

collapsed. more than 855 units are mounting a search and rescue operation. it's unclear how many people were inside the building in the town of south side near miami beach when the incident occurred and the cause of the collapse is not yet known. no cybersecurity pioneer, john mcafee, has been found dead in his jail, fell hours after spanish court approved his expeditions. the united states. he was set to face tax fraud charges robin on passive story. john mack, of these anti virus software, made him rich and famous, but apparently that wasn't enough. mcafee about to be extradited to the u. s. to face charges of tax evasion was found dead in spanish jail cell. on wednesday, he was $75.00, mcafee allegedly failed to pay his taxes for money earned in crypto currency. manipulation deals, speaking engagements, and other activities. he claimed that charges against him were politically

motivated it is that my interest is the self described lover of women, adventure and mystery founded his virus protection software company in the 1980s. it became one of the most popular in its field, but mcafee tired of being an executive and sold it in 1994, reportedly for $100000000.00. he then embarked on a 2nd career of self indulgence, drinking drugs, sex, and it was alleged crime by his own admission. mcafee was arrested $21.00 times in 11 countries for crimes, including drug trafficking, firearms violations, and securities fraud. he was suspected of, but never charged for the murder of an american ex patriot business man. in belief

in 2012 mac at the fled to guatemala and unsuccessfully sought political asylum, increasingly erratic. in his later years, mcafee boasted of his sexual exploits with teenagers and railed against governments . a little more than a year ago. he posted a rambling statement on his twitter feed, so we give people power over others through government suit military. and we expect them not to be corrupt. mcafee was on the run from us tax authorities for several years before winding up in barcelona. in october 2020, where he was jailed in his final tweet on june 16th, mcafee denied having any hidden assets and said his friends had abandoned him. i have nothing he wrote, yet. i regret nothing. in

the world health organization has raised concerns about the poor quality of production methods used in russia. sputnik vaccine. it's been approved now by more than 60 countries and is still under review by the european medicines agency if you use across europe. but now a w h o report has identified issues of cross contamination, alongside other concerns over the sterility of one of their production sides. their vote also found issues with the integrity of quality control data and the tracing and identification of vaccine batches. but it hasn't question the efficacy of the vaccine. well, this all comes just a day after countries that relied heavily on chinese made vaccines raise concerns over the effectiveness with new variance. they have been growing outbreaks and countries such as bahrain, chile and mongolia, all of which use a sign of form and find a vac jobs. when i speak talks on a picnic,

she is electra and also the lead at university college london, global citizenship program on outbreaks of infectious diseases. she joins us now from london. o'connor. let's start with these concerns around production and contamination. just how worried should the countries be who are actually receiving and distributing this funding vaccine? well, this is going to have a big blow to the general russian wall out of the vaccine because there is already a great deal of hesitancy among russian citizens with a pole showing that about 2 3rd saying that even prior to this that we took her luminary investigation, she said that they would not take the vaccine. so i think this is going to further hamper their whole lives. however, this, the process that the devil was doing emergency listing this approval system really is like a green light which can help to accelerate the importation of

a vaccine with that particular countries that don't have a regulatory body that need international standards. so passerby and other issues and so this is one way to help expedite that find doing a pre qualification process. the dummy chip went onto the site investigate that before of course getting. ringback their stance of approval and the issue around contamination shows that the system is working in it. and this particular plan is actually a feeling flat. so it was doing well one part of the vaccine process in making a nic 5. but again, really concerning, given the fact that moscow currently is going through a huge increase in cases one of the highest in the european region. so i can, i think they're going to have a larger problem in and convincing the population that it's

a safe vaccine to k showing that if it was only one of the plants and overall. busy they think it. ready wasn't included in this particular examination of how i recall at some point we were hearing some really encouraging numbers around sputnik 5 that were published fairly early on in the lancet. why has him a approval taken so long for this particular vaccine? so it can then be rolled out across europe. well, for many countries, so looking at the u. k and others, the approval process is faster because of the already familiarity on this the. busy good manufacturing practices, standard of the relevant plan, the manufacturing sites in plan. so in that case, many high income countries that are already established as backing producer, that whole process, and that being a lot faster. but what's interesting here is that one of the elements highlighted in w two's report is around data integrity. so while yes,

putting the 5 actually on paper out compete even the astrazeneca vaccine, very high levels. see if the w show has highlighted data in 100, he and one of the concerns that they thought that could cause further questions about the legitimacy of the fair asana pisec electra and also lead a university college nonsense global citizenship program on outbreaks. and infectious disease is always great to get your insights on, on their thanks for joining us again. awesome. thank you. well now in australian state, lead us has the country's biggest city is now going through one of its scary times of this pandemic. sidney has tightened restrictions and response to dozens of new infections blamed on the highly contagious delta variance. testing has been ramped up, but the new south wales premier says there's no need to lockdown further. things depend, any has jotted. this is perhaps the scariest period that you stop was,
