tennis of international exercise pressures will put this on dish and country of 110000000 people to the precipice and deprivation was no possibility of recovery. united states was one of the countries that called 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 to fight 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, at the united nations moving on and delegates new and back talks to pay the way for elections and libya has failed to find common ground. the week on negotiations in geneva were expected to confirm the terms of the presidential and parliamentary votes. elections would be a critical step in efforts to bring stability to libya and new unity government was formed last year after a sci fi agreement. following years of fighting in halter the pandemic now and the delta variance of the current of ours is causing fresh outbreaks across south east asia and australia. indonesia has imposed additional restrictions in the capital jakarta, across the main island of java and the tourist had of bali. the health care systems that have been stretched to the limit with makes have 10 sets up outside pact

medical facilities. when they bring malaysia is also tightening cards and quite a long pool and some surrounding areas. most factories have now been shots and residents cannot leave their homes after 8 p. m. and thailand is reporting over 6200 new cases, not setting a record for that straight day. now, the number of patients and i see years on ventilated has risen nationwide. over the past 2 weeks, we've got florida 3 standing by 4th in columbus. but 1st, let's speak to jessica washington. she's in the indonesian capital jakarta, just that covered response that has clearly been struggling. can you talk us through these new restrictions and really what's driving massage? as you can see, i'm in the dakota city center and the city is uncharacteristically quiet. as these restrictions take effect and they will be in place until at least the 20th of july . but authorities warned that they may be extended if the situation does not improve. so some of these restrictions include 100 percent work from home policy

for non essential sectors. the closure of move, restaurants, galleries and all the public sites as well as road closures and limits on who can travel. passengers now have to show a vaccination card before they can travel domestically. and the reason that these restrictions were really became a necessity is because of the strain on the hospital. particularly here in the capital jakarta, we know that some hospitals are already at one percent capacity, and others are edging close to that. and doctors say that they have been forced into the terrible position of having to turn away sick patients because they are under such strain. and because there is the hospitals have been so overwhelmed. that's the reason that we have these restrictions today in the capital, but also across bali and some doctors that we spoke to in relation to these restrictions say that they only wish they had come sooner because they have been

struggling with this latest wave of covert 19 cases for some weeks now, you may have seen some of the horrific scenes that we've seen in the capital, but across java, people desperately lining up for oxygen for their relative not because there's an oxygen shortage at this point, but because they weren't able to get sick loved ones into hospital and they've been forced to sort of d, i y treatment at home. so the hope here in indonesia is that these restrictions may help with lowering transmission and may help ease the burden that doctors and nurses are experiencing. at the moment. jessica washington, that was all the latest for us from jakarta. thank you so much, jeff. well, let's now speak of dr. lewis. she's in the malaysian capital calling on for a for there has been these restrictions were pretty tough ones in place for some time now. yet me still seen these, and this is new escalation. can you talk us through the new restrictions and why we're seeing this at this point?

wife, like outside that home as a sick know that they need help, whether the food or money. now, that has been a nationwide lockdown already for more than a month. not only that malaysia has been in a state of emergencies since january, yet we're not seeing the number of cases coming down. now, much of that, it's also because there's the delta variant on the corona virus, but there is a political dimension to this as well. there is not a renewed push for parliament to reconvene. its been suspended since the declaration of emergency in january and this renewed push is coming not just from the king but also opposite. but also politicians from both sides of the divide. that the prime, the prime minister had said that it was to tackle the surgeon to the virus cases then. but it's critical that it's a political move suspending parliament so he can avoid elections and hang on to power. and now people demanding more scrutiny of government policies in tackling code of ours and demick. and that's why the government has done, said parliament. well,

we can be sometime this month. very interesting developments florence louis there with all the laces forth from quite a long for thanks so much for while there is much still ahead on our was era. us troops pull out of their main base and i've got a stone as taliban fighters sweep in the district around the country. the sound of socialism and for route we meet the rule versus pushing for change as the country remains in political limber. ah hello there. the heat is still the big story in north america. and while it has ease in western parts of canada, things are still halting up across the north, west in areas of the u. s. and this was the scene in california as firefighters

about the us plants to leave 650 trips in afghanistan to protect the embassy and diplomatic mission 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, dozens are hoping to leave the country ahead of the final us withdrawal lines for exit visas. and passports along people what he restarted taliban to tweak the power . it's already making military. again, what we're seeing is the rapid loss of district centers, although the afghan security forces have actually gained some of those back in certain parts of the country that withdraw from back to be a significant and symbolic it was the center of us military power in afghanistan.
