taken from their homes and executed under pressure venezuela's, defense minister by the me said the forces were obliged to defend that country from irregular groups that added the human rights needed to be respected. and that the events that the border would be investigated. ah, iraq's military condemns us as strikes on its border with syria and iran. facts power moves, regroup, is vowing revenge after its members were killed. ah, hello, going on. come all santa maria here in the world news from al jazeera in denise, you know, hospitals and burial sites are overwhelmed. those are pacific nations, the arise encoded 900 infections driven by the new varian. feeling alone in the

world are reports of many children in the occupied west bank of loss that any one will help them. and they call it the white gold of renewable energy. look at how large and tina was banking on, lithium, beneath the salt plant to power its economy. ah. so in iraq move, the iraqi military is condemned a series of us as strikes along its border with syria, calling them a violation of iraqi sovereignty. iran backs paramilitary groups in iraq promise to join response as well to the strengths which targeted them the us and said those facilities that were hit were being used to launch attacks against american troops in iraq. but rocks popular movies, mobilization forces, the p. m, f is for of its members were killed in prison. joe biden ordered the strikes against the same groups in february is the same in from the pentagon or a part of it. at least president,

it has been clear that he will act to protect us personnel, given the ongoing series of attacks by iranian backed groups targeting us interests in iraq. the president directed further military action to disrupt and deter such attacks and run cons. following the story from baghdad for us to day this condemnation from the rocky military to see you and i were talking about a few hours ago. the fact that an attack on the p m. f is in some ways an attack on iraq as a, as a state. and that's absolutely what this statement is all about. it's an attack they say on iraq serenity, it's not in can, in a conventions into within international conventions. it's a very strong statement. a lot of the people we're speaking to are suggesting that actually iraq probably didn't know the strike was going to happen a lot further dividing opinion on the role of the us in iraq. but also you have to now to ask a question as to well of the relationship between the iraqi establishment and the u

. s. establishment is now the, the us military have supplied the iraqi army with weapons with training and with support in their fight. again, folks will, they haven't done that with the popular mobilization forces. those have been backed by iran, in fact, a recent display that the peer had, it was all around it made weaponry and they've been using that kind of what the rate is about 2014. so there's already that divide that. but if you are, if the iraq, he's really didn't know that this attack was going to take place, then the questions being off, it was worth the escalation that the p m. s. are now promising within the country against us targets itself. they're actually saying it's now about open war on us. target is going to be a funeral tomorrow for the full people from time. so you'd assure heart who died in that attack that's going to be inferential backed up. it's likely to be very, very big. at that stage we're likely to have what the response might be. but in the

coming days after that, you know, we may well even see a response. you have to ask yourself, what many iraq watch is now asking himself is, was, is this attack going to be worth the escalation? if it comes, that will come. and we heard an iranian, i think us foreign ministry spokesperson earlier around who kept using the word, regional, or region. a lot of emphasis on the fact that this goes beyond what the united states has done in that limited area of the iraq syria border. well that's absolutely right, the iranians are very clear about this. they say that there is a proxy war going on within the country itself. they're very careful to say that they're not part of that proxy. will the tax taking place on iranian targets within the country itself. in january 2020, we saw the fascination of customs. so the money and the leader of the peer left hand, as well at baghdad, international apple just as that man cause some,

some money. and i'm just about to go and meet the rocky prime minister. now that was ordered by the then president donald trump. that's what really sparked this anger against the u. s. role in iraq off to that the p. s. started to attack american targets within the country. now the kind of attacks that taken place have been against convoys going in and out of americans where the rocky base is what americans. all they've also attacked by get into national apple where there is a contention of that us forces. and they've also been rocket into the greens. but this with these people that these poor people, that is the militia say a very definite, the paramilitaries rather say, a very definite escalation. thank you women con, following the story from baghdad. today, a tip from my sob. i'll a loose see who is the middle east stand list and commentator, and he says, statements coming out of iraq following that strike computer might be motivated by domestic politics. so many of these groups were created even before the advent of

ice. it's in 2014 and they were supported by iran for decades. but after the rise devices, all of them co less to create the p. m. s. some of them are she? some of some of them are allies with the iran. some of them are also know she probably still needs are christians, but the most powerful ones are the ones that are supported by iran, and they have tremendous influence within iraq. and it's not only military, but it's also each and the relationship with the erotic governments. it's been very good during the ice period when they were both fighting isis, but after 2018. 19. the popularity of the p. m. a has decreased within at least a walk in society and many see them as a burden and actually affecting the ability of the rock government to reform itself

. it's a bit surprising and it's sort of a very strong statements as well. but we also have to keep in mind the context as well. iraq will witness elections within 2 months. so of course, the political leadership would, would want to have a good relationship with the emma in case they want to form a government afterwards after the election, of course. and also we have to keep in mind the back door policies like so. sometimes the statements made by iraq latisha is in public. it's very different from what they actually believe. and especially when it comes to iran in the united states. in the highly infectious delta vary in took over 19 is breeching, defense is across asia, and it's forcing governments to bring back their toughest restrictions. starting in bangladesh, where huge numbers of people are now trying to get out of darker. to avoid

a lockdown that starts on thursday 10 bit chandry is more from a fairy time. tens of thousands of people crossed into south and south west, and that's for the 1st time and 40 miles i've got up dot com. it's no one that similarly i've told me now. now there are many other terminals where people are still processing, not as many, but on the way out we saw hundreds and thousands of people actually walking, taking 3 with us, renting even ambulances because there's no public transportation yet. another parent is like the country's going to going to walk down from thursday july everything will be shut down. most of the people are working people daily way down or they want to be with their family and villages and what they have a social network and get the support because they won't be any work left in at least a wicked bit total shut down. and it could possibly be extend that now the fair is the indian very and the delta varian is spreading very quickly in the

bordering bangladesh. and now it's spreading introductory hospitals. i book, there's a panic among the people that there's infection. the 2nd way put much worse than the 1st one. there are also record breaking infection counts in indonesia, hospitals in counter of now set up 10th outside to treat the overflow of patients. and jessica washington tells us from a cemetery burial science or overwhelmed to this is tom cemetery, one of the newest cove with 19 burial sites here in the invasion capital in north dakota. and this location had to be opened up for burials because the other service measured, covered 900 burial side, reached 100 percent capacity. as you can see, it's incredibly busy. there are excavators, workers, what non stop body off the body arriving at this new cemetery. the workers say that their workload is almost impossible to keep up with the confirmed death hole in

indonesia is almost 60000. but don't say you to the low rate for testing across indonesia, the actual just told could be much more very difficult to watch. families grieving at this cemetery is make shift symmetry where they have to say good bye to their loved ones in a location like this. not just java cemetery work is struggling to keep up with their workload in light of this surge of covered 900 cases. but health care work is as well. some hospital in java, in particular in the capital jakarta are already at 100 percent capacity. and some have even resorted to having tense in comp, ox outside hospitals to deal with the overflow of patients. doctors, a warning that a strict protocol isn't introduce the health care system will soon pull up. so

in prime minister stefan lawson has officially handed in his resignation. the social democrat laid out a week to the resign or call a snap election following his confidence vote. now it's up to the parliamentary speaker to find a new prime minister. the often is a form, a union boss, is that a fragile minority coalition since 2018. in the news ahead, i saw trying to expand its footprint in africa. that's top of the agenda is foreign minutes since from around the world meet to discuss a counter strategy and the depth tell from the partial collapse of a florida apartment tower rises, rescuers not giving up i . i, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored my cattle airways. hello there. i'm pleased to say that tropical storm champ me is now in the process

ah balances, there were these at the top stories this hour in a brand move the iraq humidity is condemned us as strikes along with border with syria, calling them a violation of iraqi sovereignty. run back to our military and groups in iraq and promised to joint response to those strikes which targeted them the delta variance printing austin, bangladesh, which has reported a high number of daily code. the death, the pandemic began, and the 1000 people now scrambling to leap ahead of a nationwide locked down on thursday. and sweden's prime minister on the fence officially handed in his resignation. the social democratic leader had a week to either resign or not election after losing and no confidence votes. now upon them as we speak, it has defined a new premium often as a form, a union boss whose later fragile minority coalition since 2018

rival palestinian groups have been fighting after the death of an outspoken critic of the palestinian authority. there have been days of demonstration ever since he has been not died in the custody of security forces last week. but he find gas and stun grenades in best for him. with some protesters with throwing stones and other projectiles at offices. and there were similar things elsewhere in the occupied west bank. stephanie deca has more on that. the chaos on the streets of it. among the group of pro government supporters march down to where around a 100 protesters had gathered peacefully chanting slogans against the palestinian authority. protesters were beaten and members of the media were aggressively targeted. many se been a concerted campaign against the camera cards were forced to be removed and taken. a colleague had his camera smashed. we were surrounded by thugs who forced us to

bring down the satellite antenna on our old hosting trucks. there are security members, you know, but with the civil clause, the related to different security groups and military intelligence and the which called the, the president gods. also this is part of that. most of them, you know, they are not civilians, the security numbers. it's the 4th day of protests following the death of palestinian authority. critic, these are burnett, according to his family, who was beaten in the middle of the night, entertained by members of the palestinian security forces last thursday. anger at the government here is rising. 84 percent of the palestinian people say impulse that the palestinian authority is corrupt. so that's the 1st issue. the 2nd issue is that the p a has become an authoritarian regime. they are arresting activists. they are beating people in the streets. and last but not least, the palestinian people want to struggle for freedom once

a struggle for justice. the supplements are expanding and we see the p a and the p . a role has been assisting the occupations preventing the post and instruct seems like this rarely seen here. a large number of security forces were stationed not far from this and did nothing. we reached out to various members of the government . no one has so far given us a response. the level of intimidation over the media over the last couple of days has been immense. female journalists have been beaten with sticks. we were severely intimidated, not to film to bring down our live capabilities. and they continue to watch us to the point where we couldn't even take out our mobile phones. and all this prompted by a protest of only around 100 or so people, stephanie decor, i'll just 0. my law in the occupied west back a report from said the children says 4 out of 5 children in the occupied west bank and he's jerusalem. people, his homes are demolished by israeli forces feel abandoned by the world. $217.00

palestinian families took part in that so the 80 percent of the mind is interviewed said they have lost faith not only in the international community, but even the parents. majority of children showed high rates of distress, including feelings of sadness, fear, depression, and anxiety. the report also found a majority of palestinian parents feel they are unable to protect their children. after losing their home. here is jason lee, so the children's country director for the occupied palestinian territory, who says the demolitions are affecting an entire generation. well, the multiple impacts 1st and foremost them into the psycho social impact on these children and it is just fathomable. i mean, the fact that they have lost that have no heart. they question about their futures . i mean, 3 out of 5 children have had impacted on the education when the, when the home have been demolished, they found it difficult to resume the schools as the studies. which means that the very front limited opportunity for them. sort of getting

a job later on. i mean the fact that 7 out of 10 children feel socially isolated now that that's a staggering amount of children that have no connection anymore to the land, to the communities that essentially drifting on. now the fact that this demolition is coercive environment has been happening for decades. we're essentially impacting an entire generation of children and effectively in a way stealing the futures. i mean if that children that feeling stressed have feelings of depression, anxiety, sadness, not feeling safe, not engaging. in their studies, not engaging with friends, the communities and families. i mean what the future are we, are we creating for a whole generation of comforting and children cut, refunded the fuel shipments to gaza resumed for the 1st time since last month. conflict with israel, the fuel will be used in gallons of only power plants. israeli authorities allowed

the deliveries after the security situation was reassessed. it is being seen as a return to an informal agreement with us which has been allowed to receive aid in return for maintaining come at least 30 people have in children, an attack and central somalia. government officials, his eligible fight and set off to car bombs on sunday, targeting and military base in the town of seal, in the semi autonomy autonomy, the state of governor doug. it's that attack lead to fighting between troops and rebels. foreign ministers of gathered in rome to discuss a coordinated plan to defeat. i thought the secretary of state and blinking and his italian counterpart of hosting this global solid, the growing threat and parts of africa is expected to be high on the agenda. lincoln will also take part on a meeting on the sidelines of the summit to discuss the crisis in syria. well, i feel affiliated armed groups are opening up new fronts across africa, even as the group sees its decline in the middle east. i still link to fight as have been blame for increased violence across the whole region,

especially in molly became a fan. so nisha in most of the big fight, is claiming to have time to isolate stepped up attacks in the northern combo delgado province. at least 2 and a half 1000 people been killed and 700000 display since 2017. and in democratic republic of congo, the governments imposed military rule in the northeast to stop spiraling violence. much of it blamed to isolate linked fighters. nicholas hark with more now on why i feel is expanding in africa. well, it's more specifically in regions where there are weak governments and security forces are or the state is that i'm thinking here in this a hell region, specifically in, in the, the, the tri border area of molly nice year and far. so we've really seen an uptake of, of attacks by our group to fill the ball. so i still affiliate in that specific region. and that's because the, the state is largely absent and there are existing grievances that date back from

before the time that i saw was around, our groups were active, they're farmers and herders fighting overland. and with the absence of the state to mediate, that will be arm groups have step in step 10. also, if it's worth bearing in mind the, the historical narrative of these groups, they're trying to revive this pre colonial times where there were islam make states in that region. and that's all fostering and the, the, the, these arm groups in, in them trying to establish themselves in those specific regions. also worth noting that despite the presence of so many peacekeeping forces in molly, we've got the biggest peacekeeping force of $14000.00 and sort of the g 5 to hell, which is about of, of nations, of arm armies in the region, trying to fight off these arm groups well,

the islamic states in the greater or has stepped up attacks just a few weeks ago. there was an attack in brick fossil there. and the un says that there were children that were attacking villagers, children age between 12 and 14. the death toll from the collapse of a florida apartment tower 3 days ago was no reason to 9, but still a 152 people are on, accounted for. rescue workers did recover. 4 more bodies from the debris on sunday . so a 100 ports now from south side, new miami, with a rising death toll in dwindling hopes of finding survivors in the sir side, building collapse rescue workers have been battling rain fire and the cloth. as rescuers rummaged through tons of rubble from above and beneath a structural engineer tells al jazeera the collapse seems to started in the buildings foundation and the sinking landfill. it was built on deck might be something to do with the foundation settlement that might be something to do with

deep is some of the columns that might be deteriorated over time. remember, this building is close to the shoreline. and when you have structures, especially countries, sectors that across the shore line there it's 40, exposed to salty, see what? it kind of excited deterioration of the country. search and rescue teams cut a deep trench through pancake concrete and mangled metal and made a grim discovery. we continued all night to build that, that trench and as a result of that, we were able to recover for additional bodies in the rubble as well as additional human remains. first responders say this is still a rescue mission, noting survivors could live on in so called void spaces. so avoid space can be created by pretty much anything if a wall falls and hit your refrigerator. instead of coming down to the floor, maybe

a piece of furniture, maybe someone could be in a bath tub with a piece of wall over them. and the back of itself is avoid space with any space that could sustain life, family members or donating dna to identify those last in the champagne towers south . but the search has been hampered by fire and rain. there is another worry just north of the building. they came down, there is another building called champlain tower north built at the same time with similar materials and residence there are being offered the chance to voluntarily actuate. over the next 30 days, miami dade county officials will be inspecting it and other older high rise buildings, hoping to avoid another catastrophe on the sinking sands of miami beach. the chances of finding survivors decreased by the hour and by the day, the refill scattered throughout and it's compacted extremely compact. so it's a very slow process where we have to sure we have to stabilize the best we can as

we're moving through. after the rescue come the forensic engineers gathering samples from the collapse concrete and steel and putting their findings into computer simulation. still try to replicate, disputed by different simulations. and based on the loss you have in your computer environment, simulating the same type of failure. then you will have a better understanding of what factor or factors caused this failure. but 1st rescue workers are toiling around the clock to ensure that anyone who has managed to survive within avoid in the rebel is discovered before time runs out. john henry and al jazeera surfside, florida. now, lithium, it's actually becoming a hot commodity a days is the move to renewable energy gathers pace, because it's used in batteries for electric cars and laptops and phones and tablets, all on tech and so on. and tina wants to step up and supply the world with its

large lithium reserves. but as theresa by reports, many worry this will come at to greater cost to the environment. lithium extraction is well and away at the level full flats in the province of who, who is in northern argentina, it is referred to as to why gold of renewable energy. that's what the market says are going to need to increase lithium extraction, but also manufacture batteries to add value to the production chain layer a. we are trying to establish a small supply chain of lithium batteries. so we can meet with the demand. one area of demand is the transformation of fudge and tina's large public transport system to include electric bus. lithium production is a priority for argentina government. it's minister of production says that government has already signed deals with several companies. china is a major player in the business and has been increasing its presence in the region.

democracy, the endo, would you see us? we're seeing lots of interest in the possibility of investing in the country. last week we signed a memorandum with a chinese company that is already producing lithium in argentina and is hoping to advance into batteries. and we sign with another chinese company to build batteries and cars are not going to be you're seeing lots of interest because of our natural resources, industrial history and technology that allows us to plan ahead. lithium, ion, batteries, rechargeable and lightweight power. the most used electronic devices on the planet from cell phones to laptops. much of that, lithium comes from what is known as lithium triangle. i didn't know what livia until you have around 70 percent of the words lithium research. the lithium is liquid, ryan reserves no k to install flat, like this, when thousands of liters of water are necessary to pump up the brian research to the surface there later on, distributed in evaporation pools. communities around this area are concerned that

unless you extraction could complicate their access to water, people here depend on these false labs to make a living. dining and lament flores is part of the indigenous communities in the area. like on the i to be in which my ancestors have been living here since before the argent time state. and now they want to invade it. we haven't seen any serious studies on what will happen to the water. it is something that worries us that we are concerned about what is being done to other salt flats in the region. they are broken dirty and we don't want that to happen here. and that's why scientists like victoria flexor, i working to find alto native ways to extract lithium. so we are looking at both disruptive technology. that means technology that need to evaporate water to extract lithium. and we're also looking at where we michael, upgrade to the current about technology. and we are looking to try to we

gather some of the work that he's currently lost during of operation. it would be an inconsistency to extract least him for a, for a greener world. and for a greener economy if we are contaminating the regions or the locations around the bosses. developing technologies is expensive and will take time. a major challenge for developing nations quite trying to find a balance between conservation and growth please. i will as the theda pool, we urgent tina ah, how poppy, our analysis you are these the headlines in a read move the wrong communities condemned us as strikes along with border with syria, cooling them, a violation of iraqi sovereignty. iran back power military and armed groups in iraq . i promised to join.
