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, alive not to catherine. sorry. who's running us for me? if you up as capital artist, about what are you hearing about the situation in t grey right now, catherine? yes. well, diary and we've been speaking to the spokesman of the to grand defense forces. and he did say that in the last several days, they have been fighting heavily with a few p and to around mckellar. and now the ground forces not only full in control of mega, but those areas around it. he also said that they manage to kill many of the open soldiers as well as our cap, just thousands of them as prisoners of war. and we have seen some video of men who appeared to be wearing your military fatigue being paraded around streets in

machaela with residents, the cheering and so on. but it's very difficult to independently verify this message. we are trying to get to government officials here in the sub for a response is going to be very interesting to hear what they say because in the past few days, officials of the government have, including the prime minister, i'll be amid himself, have been saying that the troops pull out, pulled out of mecca land, other areas because of strategic reasons. the prime minister said that there are more national external threats that the military needs to deal. we'd say that the t p less at the leadership of the people of t grey and it's forces. i'm not anymore priority, not anymore. i made a threat and that mccalla salt is not any more a central gravity in this conflict. he also says that the military can very easily re take muscular if need be. now we're also hearing and the u. n. has been saying this during that the fighting going on in some parts of the guy and the leadership

. all that the great grand forces is also saying that right now, the focus is on some other part of the region, mainly the west. well, we have fighters from the neighboring a mara still controlling some areas in the west that i disputed. so the t griff fighters, seeing that they're going to take a war, then make sure that every inch of t great is taken back by them, but also had probably some mar, 4th, it was saying that that will not leave without a fight. and catherine, we've also been hearing from the us that the humanitarian needs are immense. so has the government's indicated when it will open the t gray, aerospace for humanitarian aid. and even when that happens, can a get to a majority of those who are needs always spoke to faith minister of foreign affairs, read one who said yesterday. and he did say that the government is willing and will

open the s b for humanitarian flights. he did not say when, but he said soon enough wsb has said that it's running low on woodstock, so it needs that airport in the copy fold macalester open as soon as possible, but then it is. i mean, a lot of other humanitarian organizations also say it is a logistical nightmare because they're not just talking about the airport being close right now. the guy, there's no electricity. power lines have been cattle. there is no internet or means of communication unless you have a satellite for days banks, i'm not operating. infrastructure has been destroyed. we've been talking about this bridge over the tech has everybody sees unimportant, a supply route to west, and the guy that has been destroyed and many aid was saying that this is all making that was very difficult because they need to get to as many people as possible and get there safely. thank you so much, katherine,

are supposed to be feeding, but the grid region, then they have been burned to the ground. a lot of them have said that warehouses have been rated as well, with what is in them have been looted by her militia, as well as the federal troops. so many of them have arrived here in terrible humanitarian condition. it's a journey that can take days, sometimes weeks for them to be able to cross from parts of the gray into sudan. many of them in dire need of humanitarian aid. we already have 70000 refugees, cross into sudan. most of them say that they want to know what is going on back home and they want to hear from their relatives who they say they've left behind in terrible humanitarian condition. at least 20 people are missing in japan after a landslide, near tokyo homes have been swept away in the city of autonomy just south west of the capital. torrential rain has been soaking the area for several days. michael pen is the president. position gets a news agency, he says japan as well prepared for natural disaster. the picture is actually very, very much deuced tell the story. it is just that one area where these land slides

have occurred. there have been other problems caused by the heavy rain but not on that scale. somewhere higher up on that mountain, which is basically a coastal area of resort town. tommy is very much kind of a resort town. the area began the gravel was, was loose by a long period of heavy rain and this mud slide and debris just clattered down the mountain and started taking houses with it. and, you know, according to the authorities, about 19 or 20 people are thought to be missing at this point. and, you know, really, it was a fearsome moment there for those in the neighborhood. and the authorities are warning people to look out for more. because the rain hasn't entirely stopped and this is rainy season in japan. as you probably know, japan is very much a natural disaster country. i mean there may be no country on earth that has as

many natural disasters and smaller is japan. does. you know volcanoes? earthquakes, landslide floods it's, it's gets hit very heavy. and so the self defense forces, one of their missions is to, to go to these disaster zones. and to kind of add some manpower to a situation where, you know, otherwise local authorities might be overwhelmed. denisia has rolled out more restrictions in its capital jakarta, the main island of java, and the tourist hub of bali, mosques, restaurants, and shopping malls have been closed after a record number of new daily infections and death. the health care system has been stretched to the limit will make shift tens having to be set up outside. jessica washington has more from indonesia, capitol. 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 to some of these restrictions include 100 percent work from home policy for non essential sectors the closure of move restaurant 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 100 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 undisturbed. such strange, you may have seen some of the receipt 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. malaysia is tightening, pandemic restrictions in kuala lumpur and other areas surrounding the capital. the country is under a national lockdown and reported nearly 7000 new cases on thursday. the government has set a date for parliament to reconvene next month after suspended in january, florence louis has more from calling on for on the additional restrictions. some of these hightail restrictions include only one person from each household being allowed out, and within only 10 kilometer radius of the home for necessities. people not being

allowed out of the homes after 8 pm, except for emergencies, or with police approval. factories that produce non essential items have to shut. and this is because many workplace clusters have come from factory. now the lockdown has generated anger. say those that have successfully managed to implement safety protocols, such as regular testing are being punished collectively with aaron's business owners. and people say also that this type has locked down. this restriction will create even more hardship. and the number of suicide cases has gone up. but malaysians have rallied together urging people who need assistance to raise a wife like outside that home as a signal that they need help, whether it's 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 emergency 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 of the corona virus, but there is

a political dimension to this as well. there is not a renewed push for parliament to reconvene. it's 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. still ahead on al jazeera us troops pull out their main base and i've gone a son taliban fighters are taking more territory across the country. south africa, former president file papers to have his 15 month jail sentence withdrawn. he has one day to hand himself. ah, ah, it's time for the perfect journey to winter sponsored by cattle airways. well, we're in july 9, but you're hard pressed to see any thirties temperature wise. throughout the plane

turkey, the longer the case, the breezes picked up, the cloud picked up and the rain, especially for northern turkey, sponsor cut on airways, challenging the way mainstream media record. the news stories like these should be easy pickings for full that up or reporters out to hold power to account how it is in journalism is breaking the destruction of civilian property. this is all evidence for what firm tries and the rate of speaking. now, we've been getting stories of john taken from the houses in the middle of the night and tortured the listening post covers the way the news is covered on his era. the

the commission of inquiry into corruption. and also said that he had the opportunity to which was somewhat unprecedented, say what the penalty should be. the former president didn't do any of those things . he didn't submit an affidavit, he did not appear before the constitutional court. and he was been sentenced to 15 months in, in prison, for contempt of court. he is now saying he's not well enough to go to prison. he's also too old and it's a very harsh sentence. but before he appears before the console constitutional court, if that application is granted, he's also approaching a high court for a stay of that imprisonment. so that he's not arrested by police. he has until sunday to hand himself over voluntarily. it's not certain that would happen, especially given the attempt to stay at stay out of prison. and off to that police would then likely be issue a warrant of a risk for the former president. and that could happen anytime after sunday. so

it's unclear at this point. what exactly will happen, but the president, the former president does have his supporters who have for a number of days come out to his residence in canada, in the counselor natal to show their support. and they've said they'll do anything necessary to protect the former president, and that he should not be arrested. at least 52 taliban fighters have been killed in airstrikes by the afghan government minister of defense as the strikes target a taliban forces and 3 districts of helman province. a senior commander was among the dead. the us military has pulled out if i've gone sounds bad, graham air base the epicenter if it's worth to topple the taliban and hands on. i'll try to after the $911.00 attacks. but it's one era of conflict ends and i've gone on. another one is looming. alan fisher reports from washington d. c. i became like in many american city, 75,

the u. s. 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. those are hoping to leave the country ahead of the final us withdrawal lines for exit visas. and passports along people what a research of taliban could speak to power. it's already making military again, what we're seeing is the rapid loss of our district centers, although the afghan for sab actually gain some of those back in certain parts of the country to withdraw from back. i'm going to be a significant and symbolic it was the center of u. s. 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. alan fisher,

a 7 year old girl who happened to be the daughter of the fireman. this goes to show you just how close to home this is for so many of the community there been resources sent from all across the state, all across the country, all across the world really to help in operate the search and rescue which was actually suspended for 15 hours on thursday, the reason they were concerned about the building, the part of the building and that it might, it might last now since then there has been a demolition order that was signed that was earlier on friday. but we don't know yet what the timeframe for that or what the nature of the demolition is going to be . what impact is that something they're they're trying to figure out and will hopefully do in the coming weeks. local officials have ordered the evacuation of an apartment building 8 kilometers away. the city of north miami beach has the crestview towers are structurally and electrically unsafe people living in the 49

very damaging for his image because so far there's a parliamentary inquiry that has been investigating the government's handling of the panoramic. it's been focusing on how he downplayed the virus and now he delayed the vaccination, but there was nothing linked to corruption. and he was the 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 you must remember that on saturday there will be another major nationwide protest against president a boss on out of nearly a month after peruvians went to the polls. officials are still looking into fraud allegations from conservative presidential candidate taking for maury results show that the socialists pedro castillo was ahead by a small margin, but he hasn't been declared the winner. marianna sanchez reports from lima. they've come to the peruvian capital from remote places,

explain to the people what he can and can't do. nearly a month after they look at the one the election by more than $40000.00 votes. electoral officials are still investigating for negations raced by his rival cake of modern. there may not be a new leader officially castillo support or say they are already thinking about their future. deanna sanchez. i'll just see lima be to ok. hello again. the headlines on al jazeera, the u. n, is warning if you government in rebels and she writes respect the fees, fire, or risk spiraling further into crisis. it says 4 100000 people are suffering famine while another 1800000 face starvation. the war began 8 months ago and has displaced millions have been morgan has spoken to some.
