a matter that necessarily any responsible government would apply itself to clearly growing tension between 3 countries. 2 of them with a population of more than 100000000 people and another with a population of more than 40000000 is very concerning. but the security council is unlikely to take any direct action. diplomats tell me they hope this meeting will force the 3 countries back into african union, lead mediation, james bays al jazeera at the united nations. he was president joe biden has defended his decision to pull american troops out of cornerstone thing. the military operation will end on august 31st in says the u. s. is achieved its objectives after nearly 20 years of war. but the withdrawal comes as the taliban continues to seize more territory and i've got his own white house correspondent, committee health care reports. one week after us forces withdrew quietly from bog

from air force base. the taliban is making games from the security vacuum left behind us. president joe biden is adamant us forces will leave afghanistan by the end of august. nearly 20 years of experience is shown us at the current security situation only confirms that just one more year of funding that can stand is not a solution, but a recipe for being there indefinitely. as the taliban gave power, biden is now on the defensive. this afghan, the stance future is tied to a political solution, not a military. one piece must be negotiated between the afghan government and the taliban. but when he was asked if he had any faith in the group, the president had this to say, no, i do not trust the tell him the us will keep a small security and diplomatic presence in the country to support afghan horse

as it's all the bond continues to thieves, more territory. the continuing tension between iran and the u. s. is being felt in iraq with attacks and counter attacks iranian back to home groups of intensified operations against u. s. military and diplomatic facilities are very gained access to one such military base in ambo province, western iraq from their, my food. i had ripples iraqi forces in anal i said these are on high alert. on wednesday, a missile attack injury to people, the base houses iraqi army units along site coalition forces, including us personnel. we traveled with iraqi army to about that the district about 14 kilometers away. this is where the missiles have targeted the bays. during the past few months, we'll fire the from we found a missile launcher that had excluded leaving several houses. damages including

a mosque. hums, amazon was among a number of civilians injured in the last august bishop object to shortly. otherwise shall buck on it. i was looking from the window when the explosion started shrapnel in the head. why is this happening in our area? we are not part of the conflict. iraq's joint operations command, which protect the base, is investigating at hobby howard. i miss them. but the terrorists have been using various ways theresa base. this time missiles were hidden under flour sacks, where now collecting evidence to identify the perpetrators security sources, say the missile launcher was blown off by the ammunition it was carrying the detonation brought on by scorching some more temperatures, but local, still a different story. i guess hurdle her. why do me sales came from the base direction one key to the messiah truck, the other, to the got it in the advice of the u. s. a. to strike on the city iraq border. 2

weeks ago, iranian back to groups declared to open war against the u. s. forces still in iraq . washington says iraq, the government wants the us to provide military training for its troops, and help in the fight against isolate iran. but this continuing conflict between iran and the u. s. goes further in direct talks aimed at salvaging the 2015 nuclear deal abandoned by the previous u. s. administration under donald trump. again under threat and that smart helping iraq danial asset base has been under most well drawn and rocket attacks since the killing of iranian commander. some slay many in the u. s. a. to strike in january last year. i didn't want this and iraqi commander of the popular mobilization forces was also killed violence between us forces and iranian affiliated with groups is likely to continue as long as the nuclear issue remains

unresolved, would have to have a number province, western iraq, a leading news website has been blocked him by the roof security forces rated its offices and arrested. some of this journalists, not certain eva, is accused of publishing information on behalf of organizations not registered in the country. several media organizations, critical of president, alexander lucas shanker, have faced similar action since last year's protest, opposing election results for that vehicle, is a senior political advisor to exiled opposition leader. so atlanta just kind of guy up, he says, detentions have taken place across the country. police and k, g b came to more than 8 officers of different outlets and mince can regions. they arrested editor in chief journalists, reporters without explaining the reason that they arrested them like terrorist in hand, cause they put in car and then in the prison. so right now,

we are trying to understand how many people detained, detentions took place all over the country from 50 to 100 report. there are behind bars right now. some of them are facing up to 2025 years of prison. some of them accused in terrorism, and many of them needs legal, 8, some outlets they need to relocation to the neighboring capital to ukraine, to worse, so poll until the 20th of illness. and also there is a big need for financial support, financial assistance. so this media because look after their profit last year and this sprint, he realized the if you will correct down the media, no one will know the truth about what's happening and others, sanctions are the most powerful leverage and most powerful tool. the u. u. s. u k. candidates have right now, but they must be joined, they must be carbon mated. they must be substantial and comprehensive and all the loopholes must be eliminated from the sanctions regime. if we don't want to have

the car in state, in the center of europe on the border with a you, we must act now. and our actions must be, must be card and needed. and democratic forces of the risk. urge and ask international community to to, to support us now right now in south korea. res corona virus restrictions to the highest level in the capital of soul and some neighboring regions. from monday, the countries reported its biggest staley rise in new cases and its hope health official as warning numbers could double by the end of july, the delta variant is helping to fuel the search with the reported infections of the strain tripling in just one week. schools and balls will be shot and restaurants are only allowed, limited seating. coordinated go to the countries in the worst infection crisis with daily numbers rich in record highs every day. there been more than 500

daily cases in soul for the last 3 days. and for the 5 cases and the greatest sol area, we have reached the conclusion, the bold decisions and swift executions are the only solution. let's bring in dr. jerome kim. he's a doctor of intern, internal medicine and infectious diseases and is the director general of the international vaccine institute. he joins us by skype from sol, told him just tell us this is. busy an extraordinary raise in cases rise in cases over the last year. oh, in a, in a competition now in a race between those have been vaccinated and the spread of the delta variant. yes. and so the situation and creates mirroring the situation and many parts of the world. korea was remarkably successful in controlling the crone of ours outbreak in the early part of 2020, with a combination of masks and distance and

a lot of cooperation from the population. now, a year and a half later, you know, we're confronted with the, the most significant increase in the number of cases. so korea country with 50000000 people as about 820-2300 cases being reported in a day. and that's with pretty good tracking, so we're pretty confident of that estimate. it raises concerns. korea is only 30 percent vaccinated. so it gets to the point that vaccination really is going to be the way that countries like korea will finally get a handle on, on the corner of ours and demick. and finally begin to safely are losing some of the restrictions. what is being put into place now again reflects some of the success. the korean government had earlier, but with newman and stricter messaging, you know, you've only 2 people can go out to dinner rather than 4. bars and restaurants are closing much earlier. are actually bars are close, the restaurants are open for a very limited period of time. again,

looking at the areas where transmission has been problematic. so they are directing attention to the areas where they know spreaders occurring and hopefully this will be successful. i mean, you say, hopefully this will be successful, but from what i'm listening to from what you're saying and from what other people are saying is effectively that there's any one real strategy here. and that is the vaccination vaccination vaccination showed it. so remember, i think to the vaccination is not the only strategy we really do need to emphasize that vaccination is used in combination with other means of prevention. so masks and distance and for a period of time until an adequate number of people are vaccinated. we are going to have to be very strict about the messaging around the continued use of masks and distancing. and i think the government has been emphasizing hopefully that you know, they'd be able to loosen a lot of the restrictions. and there was a lot of hope that rather than being limited to 4 people at dinner,

you could have 6 people. but again, the delta variant and the and the most recent outbreak, i think illustrate that we have to be continuously on guard until sufficient numbers of people are adequately vaccinated. and adequate is the key with the delta variant, single dose, single doses of ac scenes that have, that should be given as, as 2 doses are really or less effective. and we really have to talk about full vaccination. but what about boost the vaccination? so those people have already had, is that a concern for the medical community? yeah, that's a great question and it's when for which a lot of scientific data needs to be generated and very quickly. so i think you are referring to booster vaccination is that people who are already infected, and there is, for instance, in the united states or recommendation that everyone be vaccinated fully, even though they've been impacted. we do know that infection natural infection confers protection against infection for some period of time. and the actual timing

of booster vaccination, optimally in the setting where other vaccines are limited and we need to vaccinate as much of the population as possible. really need to be thought through carefully by individual countries. booster vaccinations for people who receive vaccines that, that need reinforcement, that need additional immune responses is something that really needs additional attention. and i think that, that the government of korea, as well as governments all over the world are funding research and to try to decide what the best type of combination are we call it mix and match will be in order to maximize protection against infection, particularly with the barrier to dr. kim and saw that thank you very much. always interesting to hear your thoughts. thank you. thank you. the pic torches arrived in the host city of tokyo, 2 weeks out from the start of the games. but there will be no spectators are limping events in the japanese capital. the organizers made the decision as the

city struggles to deal with coven 19 still around 11000 athletes from all over the world, making their way to compete in the event. australia is most popular, city is tightening cove at 19 restrictions as the delta strain and continues to spread. cities been locked down since late june, but cases continue to rise of 44 infections reported on monday. the largest daily rise since the current outbreak began last month. an extra 100 police have been deployed to patrol hotspot areas. off of all us states the thing arise and coven 19 cases. among unbox aged people. the centers for disease control recorded and 11 percent increase in cases last week. experts this week announced the delta variance has become the dominant over 900 strain in the country. so like his rolling roger packs the family as tightened his grip on power by

appointing a brother as the finance minister basel a jewel us through and confesses. and it said to be the brains behind the families domination of sir lanchen politics for 2 decades. michelle fernandez reports that says raj functions returned to po is very much a family affair. he was sworn in their shall and because finance minister, my older brother, president of the raj boxer as he's pretty censor. and another brother, the former president and current prime minister by the roger boxer, looked on because of the whole economy of all countries, including 3 long how changed. so you suffered so we have to face it. so i think the president is very keen to open the country back and get the big moving a corner mclee, and every emily said that would be no easy task. sure,

lantus for him is dangerously low, massive debt repayment due, and income levels have fallen during the pandemic. the government has also this, this criticism regarding the printing of billions of rupees to meet its commitment . a 2nd wedding in this time, as member of parliament taking the family, italy in parliament to 6. the strengthening of dynastic politics with the latest appointment is a concern to many. there is no getting away from the fact that this is about family rule. this is about the roger box, regina type thing, it's strangle hold on power. so in that respect, i mean, for democracy. i don't see it is anything that is going to strengthen democracy on the contrary is going to detract from democratic institutions. speaking after he took off his massive raj boxer was not worried about the economic challenges saying

he has dealt with much, was what the country needs. he says is the support of many sectors of business and society to deal with the situation. roger papa has been a mr. fix it and the man strategist between roger pox, the families rise to fall into lanka, but with the goblin popularity falling in recent months, his family hoping he can turn things around. fernandez, colombo ah, there's out there and these are the top stories. columbia, as government says, initial investigations indicate retired members of its military were involved in the assassination of president jogan l wife. some of the attack is have been identified, but officials and still looking for at least 8 not received in response to the

assassination of the haitian president. today, interpol has officially requested information from the columbia government and the national police.
