president john bolton all right, was being investigated over his alleged involvement and corrupt vaccine deals. and the legacy of stolen franchise can years a como elders call on former colonial powers to return the best they could items. ah, welcome to the program, respect to truce all risk, devastating conflicts spiraling farther into crisis. that's the warning from the united nations to ethiopian government and to gray and rebel fighters. it says 4 100000 people are now suffering famine while another 1800000 are thought to be facing starvation. the war began 8 months ago and has displaced millions, ethiopia government declared a sci fi this week right before a major bridge in to grow was destroyed, cutting off a crucial aid supply route. as catherine sawyer, reports or madison to the officials. they're deny it stifling the 8 s this. 2

is a difficult task for a walk, is trying to get food and other supplies to those who need it. most anti guy fighting is still going on in some part of the region. different forces control different areas and drop the facilities have been destroy. in some areas, this is what is left of a bridge over the tech has a river. it's an important supplier route to west than to guy the world. food program says it's food. stocks are running low and the airport still closed. reaching much of the population will be a struggle. the fact is that people have died. people are dying, and more people will die if we're not allowed. and you know, the ability to, to prevent, prevent it from happening. the internet, telecommunication, and electricity has been cut off. if you p. s. government official, c t guys, s peace will soon be open for un humanitarian life. i asked the state minister of

foreign affairs about restoring either basic services he blamed rebel forces in t guy for destroying telecommunication and power lines, as well as killing engineers deployed to fix them. there is no way the government can course telecom and banks in services at a great open at incomplete from f, unless and otherwise it would also behave and come to forward for a peaceful resolution. officials in the capital id saba, i run a p r offensive deputy prime minister, demeka mecca, non hudson held a meeting with diplomats to update them about the situation in t guy. his administration has been under pressure from all sides of a how he handles the conflict, the intuition that we're trying to solve for kids. the ticket i am capable of denying humanity and access and using anger as it would kind of while is beyond the peer. this is absolutely no reason for us

to do for this, out of people. and the part of the fact of the matter is what we are using every ounce of our thing to extricate them from the dire situation they find themselves in the woman. and this is ended out of duty, the situation integrated, complex and fluid. the grand fighters continue to gain ground, filthy and retrans forces withdrawing fighters from the neighboring high region who control much of disputed territories in west. and the guy said that will not leave and caught in between 2 billions would desperate to get back to normal cash flow. you are the 0 i decided was he mentioned earlier you and officials have been painting as i picture of the situation into growing during the security council 1st public meeting on the conflict on diplomatic editor james base reports. now from

you and headquarters in new york. in the 8 months since the start of the t o. p and military offensive, the security council couldn't even agree on holding a public meeting on t grey. until now. in front of the cameras, ambassadors were given grim new figures, showing the scale of the suffering more than 400000 people are estimated have crossed the threshold into famine and another 1800000 people on the brink of famine . summers suggesting that the numbers are even higher. $33000.00 children, a civilian malnourished, and there was a warning it could get much worse. there is potential for more confrontations and a swift deterioration in the security situation, which is extremely concerning. ethiopia, as ambassador warned that international pressure could push his country over the edge. but like to make it clear that the political,

prego and hasty bilateral course measures against him at an acceptable and violet basic tennis of international exercise pressures will put this amish and country of $110000000.00 people to the precipice and deep riven was no possibility of recovery the united states was one of the countries the cold for this 1st public meeting of the security council by an open meeting is not enough. what we need to see is action on the ground. we need to see a cease fire that is permanent, that all of the parties agree to. we need to see the air tray and troops return to their own border. we need to see unfettered access for humanitarian workers. we need to see accountability. quite this meeting took place is significant, but it was clear from the speeches in the room that there are still many members of

the security council, including permanent members who are not in favor of any further action by the counsel. even if the violence continues. james bay's al jazeera, the united nations will spring in david sion he's a professor of international relations at george washington university and a former us ambassador to join me now by skype from washington dc. mr. shane can help you with this on the program. i mean, calling for humanitarian aid. corals is wall thing getting a date is a very different and often difficult store in the what signs should we be looking out for from the united nations security council, diplomats at the center of this conversation. that things can move ahead because at the moment it sounded like a situation report. well, i think you're right and the key will be how food actually moves in the region at this point. the whole situation and gray now as intertwined between tactical

military decisions on the one hand going to do need to solve the humanitarian problem on the other. for example, one of the key bridges over that because the river is separating central western t grey was the stride within the last 24 hours. this is going to hinder significantly, the ability to move humanitarian food a. although i think the bridge. ready was destroyed, more or military, we have reasons to prevent the grant funds forces from re entering western western to get a gated mean sort of some form of people. c 5 we've been hearing from but it's on shaky ground, isn't it? i mean, from your experience as an ambassador at the time how tenuous is that relationship between t gray, an or to grin political and social groups with the rest of the country and that is arbor. well, it's extremely tenuous,

particularly because the 2 grand defense forces at the moment seemed to have the upper hand. and you have seen some for government forces. the eric ryan forces essentially on retreat. and i think that the grand forces are going to be reluctant to stop at the moment. so it's not particularly in their interest to abide by the fire. there's also a question as to how serious the era koreans on the central government forces are about hearing this. he's fired in the events that they should exercise. once again, if there is going to be a significant move by the un security council to get a saba to move in one direction or another, i presume the you and speaks directly to the saba, but who speaks to the t p ls? well, that's a good question. we don't really know who is in contact directly with your grand

defense for us is or the laugh at the moment and there they are. not necessarily exactly one in the same. i think the degree in the french forces are somewhat broader organization and then the t p o. after sculpture. the other issue at the u . n is, what is the position of china and russia? it's a good thing obviously allows this meeting to go forward on the situation and see great, but will they allow. ready the international community to do anything more than to have a talk session. how important and how influential then is the issue of eric tray and influence in the region and in this whole conflict at the moment. follow the rule of our trailers. absolutely critical and certainly the military role they played in great region of via was very, very important in terms of supporting the central government troops. now,

the militia forces in western greg the to the era tram forces are now apparently moving back towards the border. their own borders because of the pressure of the 2 gram defense forces. but the aaron trans are now going to be concerned about their own future man and whether the to grands might decide to even enter error trade, which is a possibility. we shall see what happens for your insight. thanks very much. david in there from george washington university. that's joining washington dc. so thank not be us. military has pulled out. i've got a small bag room, airbase the at the center of its war to topple the taliban. a hunt dental kind of after the 911 attacks, but one area of conflict ends in afghanistan and other one is leaving unofficial reports from washington d. c. i became like many americans,

5075 kilometers from cabal. it was the starting point for many americans deployed up canis, done for almost 2000 service men and women killed in action by graham air base was where they began the final journey home. hello barbara. it was visited by president bush obama. trump. i know it's been handed over to the afghan. the final troops and equipment lifted out us still on target refill withdrawal by september, 11th, 2021. we're on track exactly as to where we expected to be. but we did. i wanted to make sure there was enough quote running room that we can get. wouldn't be able to do it all to september. they'll still be some for forces left, but it's a rational drop down with our allies and it's making. so there's nothing unusual about the us plants to leave 650 trips, enough canister to protect the embassy and diplomatic missions with capacity to

help afghan security forces. if required the repeating line, the us is not abandoning afghanistan. we have a robust footprint in the region even outside of ghana, stan and we still have the capability to conduct over the horizon missions as necessary for counterterrorism in afghanistan itself, thousands are hoping to leave the country ahead of the final us withdrawal lines for exit visas. and passports along people what he restarted taliban, the power, it's already making military. again, what we're seeing is the rapid loss of district centers. although the ask and security forces have actually gained some of those back in certain parts of the country withdraw from back to be a significant and symbolic it was the center of us military power in afghanistan. now, the white house says it will continue to monitor the security situation. and if it

sees a threat to the united states, it will act immediately. our fisher, i'll just here at the white house. the latest job numbers from the united states have a major increase in the number of people going back to work. 850000 jobs are added into that. many analysts were expecting the us economy has been searching since the start of the, as the country emerges from its pandemic recession. it grew by more than 6 percent in the 1st quarter. we've now created over 3000000 jobs as it took office, more jobs, they've ever been creating the 1st 5 much of any presidency in modern history. actually the incredible work of the entire team. this is historic progress. pulling our economy out of the worst crisis in 100 years, driven in part by our dramatic progress and vaccinating our nations and beating back to pen damage. well, still had hail on out there, as a by john's wall with armenia may be over, but the land mines left behind us still claiming live like stories.

ah hello there. the heat is still the big story in north america. and while it has eased in western parts of canada, things still halting up across the north west in areas of the u. s. and this was the scene in california as firefighters battled 3 wildfires. and it's not just here . the hot and dry conditions are fueling fires in arizona and utah. now that heat from western parts of canada has moved to the canadian prairies. and we've seen quite a lot of heat as well across the north east in areas of the us will. those temperatures are dipping down slightly on saturday. we've got a weather system bringing the wet weather to new york, but we will see temperatures pick up as we go into sunday. and that weather system

moves off to the north west. but we are seeing no severe storms affecting texas and coastal areas of the gulf of mexico. so more wet weather on the way there. and as we move to central america, we could see wet and windy weather for florida. by the time we get to monday, we've got tropical storm elsa making its way across the caribbean. we've got tropical storm warnings out for jamaica for haiti and the dominican republic. and we are expecting some really strong winds and some heavy rain from that system. we'll keep an eye on that. 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 bill. ah, ah ah ah. look about watching, i'll just bear with me. so from the reminder, well, top stories, the united nation says more than 400000 people are now suffering famine. any 3 of us to grow region. it says the situation has worth and dramatically in the last 2 weeks. unwarrantable fighting, despite a c spot declared by the government. also the us military has pulled out on bankrupt, basically at the center of it for to top of the taliban hunt. down on the 9th the

tax us president joe biden has said a september deadline for full withdrawal and says, the beloved is on track the new job data from the shows i major in crease, the number of people going back to work. 850000 jobs added in june better the many analysts were expecting me. the brazilian prosecutors of opened a corruption investigation into president gibe olsen aro, he's accused of saving against the steam involving the national throne virus back the nation campaigns office uses say a deal to buy indian vaccines was a front for embezzling millions of dollars off. and i was actually warned about it, but did nothing. all of this comes as brazil, daily death rate remains high. the country has just reported another 1857 k

one a kianna kemp is following event source and joe's been alive from rear diginero mean . how will this sort of latest development affect both scenarios? well, on one hand, we're not expecting to see anything immediate like an impeachment. he already has more than $120.00 impeachment requests. the latest one was like, mega impeachment requests signed by not only opposition parties, civil associations, but also by former supporters. and it was handed into congress, so there are investigations going on. we can expect him to be in peach any time soon. but this is very damaging for his image. because so far, there is a parliamentary inquiry that has been investigating the government handling of the plan that makes its been focusing on how he downplayed the virus. and now he delayed the vaccination,

but there was nothing linked to corruption. and he was like to saying that he was one of the few politicians in brazil that was not linked to a corruption scandal. so now this changes, and we must remember that tomorrow on saturday, there will be another major nationwide protest against president jade, both on out of local. so over other issues regarding the use of vaccines in brazil . and some of them are proving quite controversial. yes, there was a recent report and that around $26000.00 astrazeneca vaccine were, had expires, it now. the city that i have are suspected of having given people these expired vaccines. they're saying that that isn't the case. so this is something that people are still that's still under investigation. brazil is basically a country that should have been much further ahead in vaccination. it has the

potential to vaccinate many people. it has the potential to make the vaccines here . it has been very successful in math, facts, and nation campaigns in the past. and so far, only 12 percent of the population has been fully vaccinated. locate the given re edition there. thanks very much. now india's official death toll from the current virus has passed 400100000 people have died in the past 39 days with 853 deaths recorded on friday. but experts believe the number of dead could be as high as 1000000 where a possible 3rd wave of infections looming, as the so called delta vary plus mergers. the government has announced a campaign to vaccinate almost a 1000000000 people by the end of the year. and into the jury's imposing a raft of emergency measures because record infection numbers well, restrictions on the movements and travel and ban on restaurant dining are amongst

him. they say anderson and his men found the gods being transported along the river, rested across a couple of dug out canoes, just like this one. they say they stole it, gunpoint took it off, found the river. it ended up in the british museum in london, where it's being kept in a cupboard for more than a 100. yes. the british museum says he's willing to loan artifacts from his collections, any of which were looted in centuries past. the king's brother was allowed to visit the gotcha. and the storage cupboard 8 years ago and took this video 7000 kilometers away, the elders say they just want it back to give you guys the in ga, ga, is a symbol of government. it's used to rally the people and help them organize themselves . so now we don't have it. the poker has been becoming poor ever since. the areas among the poorest in kenya,

over the last century. some ways of life haven't changed much. others have such as traditional beliefs which have been replaced with christianity, always lamb, young people, king macaroni says, need to be reconnected to their heritage. he wants to formerly request the gattey's return through kenya's government. it's not something belonging to the museum, something which will be bring, which will be, which will be able to bring on, not only joy, battery, believe it will change the fit, it will change with the, the fortunes of a whole community. if you go there are a few people remaining here who are raised on the belief system of the god g. this man kit joe said can be our desa has died since we met him. if the and g is to come home and have meaning here, there isn't much time left high on the oh who malcolm web

cam? yeah. delegate back talks. do you pay the way for elections in libya? have failed to find common ground. the week long negotiations in geneva were expected to confirm the terms of the presidential and parliamentary vote. elections would be a critical step in efforts to bring stability to libya and the unity government was formed last year after a c 5 agreement following years of fighting. hundreds of iraq, he's angry about ongoing pockets of demonstrating the capital bank that the country is dealing with a heat wave with temperature soaring to 50 degrees. southern provinces have been worst hit by the blackouts. the energy ministries as a major power line may have been sabotaged. and there be knowledge protests of the southern syrians if you have data 7 straits as we're denouncing a siege that was recently imposed by the shower government and his russian allies. it was put in place after residence boycotted presidential elections form a rebel territory has been 17 since it was taken by regime forces in 2018
