the haitian president today, interpol has officially requested information from the columbia government and the national police about the alleged perpetrators of this act. so initially, the information indicates they are colombian citizens retired members of the national army. we've given instructions by the national government to our police and the army to collaborate in the investigation. to clarify these facts immediately, public force is fully at the disposition of the sister republic of haiti. this is all unfolded among a political backdrop of confusion about who is actually in charge. well, 1st i would say that it is still, it is our view and we continue to call 4 elections to happen this year. and we believe they should proceed. we know that free and fair elections will facilitate a peaceful transfer, a power to a newly elected president, and we certainly continue support haiti's democratic institutions. louise had been

if you can call them that way. national grooming organizations or has a political motivation. and of course, we have to leave to go in, but it's like a national, organized crime, having the relation effect on the democracy and regimes and governments in the region. i do believe that there is been criminal interests from these large criminal organizations in this part of the hemisphere that are having high impact in political treatments and has happened before from guatemala. to what i like to know before is from colombia here in columbia as well. in the past, the large and high level organizations' criminal organizations used violence against democratic regimes is the 1st time that it reached such a large scale on the most likely place to happen. what were

institutions are weak? there is these high level of political infighting, and important to say also that there has been the relationship between several political groups. criminal organizations in the haiti is a place where non profit takes place big way, big time. over the past several years. the web security council is discuss the controversial mega projects that if you're is building on the nile river egypt and sued on say the ground. if you're pin renee sloan, stan limits access to fresh water. but if you're says the u. n is not the place to address such concerns or diploma. i think it is a james based report from the united nations outside un headquarters, e. c o, p, and protest has gathered. they didn't want this meeting to take place to demonstrate

that point. unlike egypt and sudan, ethiopia didn't send it's foreign ministers in this meeting. instead, it was represented by water and irrigation minister. the 2nd union is seized of the matter. and is emily facilitating our negotiation? that is why it is regrettable that are she steadily countries of the to bring the matter to the security company. it was sudan and egypt that had demanded this meeting, saying the fact that 80 peer is again filling the damn amounts to a threat to international peace and security. does not an overstatement to affirm that for egypt the girl is an existential threat. this is a situation that egypt cannot and will not tolerate. later i pressed the foreign minister on what action his country was prepared to take. so all their circumstances where you would consider military action. the matter of

egypt, the protection of the rights of a citizen is inherent and is 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 bay's ouch is era that the united nations cameron hudson is a senior fellow. the atlantic council and former director for african affairs, the white house national security council. he says the un meeting was critical to push negotiations forward. the last month has been perhaps the most critical phase

of these negotiations because the rains in east africa started falling within the last week or 10 days. and so the last month since the end of may essentially when the african union last held a in negotiation session among all the parties, that's really too long to wait. and i think that we've seen them, the tension mounting on the egyptian into nice side that they can't simply wait any longer to continue to negotiations. this was an effort to get, not just the security council involved to try to negotiate a settlement. i don't think that was ever part of their strategy. it was really to get the security council to push the african union and to push all of the parties, especially the ethiopians. back to the negotiating take table, we can certainly say for certain that egypt and sudan have been conducting military exercises, joint military exercises in their, in their 2 countries. they have renewed security cooperation agreements. so there's certainly been no lack of saber rattling, going on from both cartoon and cairo. however, i think that the likelihood of

a strike against the dam or some effort to incapacitate the dams operation is far off right now. certainly a military strike on the dam, given what's already happened in terms of the filling that would jeopardize much of sudanese territory to see a rupture of the dam right now. us president joe biden has defended his decision to pull american troops out on saying the military overlaid opperation will end on august 31st. in 5th, the u. s. is achieved its objectives after nearly 20 years war, but the withdrawal comes as the taller bond continues to seize more territory. i've gone to san white house correspondent kimberly helped get reports. one week after us forces withdrew quietly from bog room air force base. the taliban is making games from the security vacuum left behind us. president joe biden is adamant us

scramble to realize what their priorities in the region are. the taliban, rapid advance process. ghana stan has put key cities at risk of being overtaken. still by didn't insist the united states won't be at fault if that happens. no, no, no. it's up to the people that are going to stay and decide on what government they want. not us to impose the government on them as part of its humanitarian effort. the white house announced on thursday. it will also ship $1400000.00 doses of the johnson and johnson covey vaccine to afghanistan. but critics argue, afghanistan needs much more, especially afghan interpreters that served and supported us troops and are now in danger. the white house and says 30 vacuuming, thousands of african nationals and their families to a 3rd party country while their visas are being processed was complete. those who

vaccination rate is a real concern the situation and create mirroring the situation and many parts of the world. korea was remarkably successful in controlling the cook karone of ours outbreak in the early part of 2020, with a combination of masks in distance and in 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, on the corner of ours pandemic. and finally, begin to safely loosen some of the restriction. 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 only 2 people can go out to dinner rather than 4. bars and restaurants are closing much earlier. are actually bars are closed, 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 spread is occurring and hopefully this will be successful. there will be no spectators to lim pick events in tokyo, the organization organize a your guys this sort of made the decision just 2 weeks before the start of the games. as the city struggles to deal with codeine team. they would stokes reports just hours after japan announced a fresh state of emergency in tokyo. the knock on effect on the olympics was confirmed to come back. the surging covered 19 cases. there will be no fence at all,

allowed to attend venues in tokyo, seeing that the golden that used to constant got good news without the pandemic. the limpid games would be an amazing opportunity to unite people. but unfortunately, the panorama could not allow us to hold events with full spectators. we are very sorry for the locals living near the lim, sick venue. but at that, the decision to buy foreign fans was made months ago. but organizers had still hoped to allow 50 percent capacity to domestic crowds. although a small number of people may be allowed to attend venues outside tokyo, there's no doubt 1st, a decision has inflicted a significant blow. this was supposed to be a huge moment for, for tokyo, for japan. so much effort has gone into preparing the capital to host these games. and now it's going to be a lot of empty stadium. the head of the international olympic committee, thomas bar, arrived in tokyo, justice and new rules were announced, and he, himself will now spend 3 days isolating in his hotel will support any measure

which is necessary to have safe and secure will begin paralympic games. the games have now effectively been reduced to a major tv event, which means the i o. c will still collect around $4000000000.00 from broadcast. is that the last ticket revenue around $800000000.00 will be felt by japan's tax payers who have already been hit hard by the most expensive games in history. with some reports, putting the overall cost close to 30000000000 still around 11000 athletes from all over the world and making their way to tokyo, ready to compete in an lympics like no other minorities for this opportunity. the only comes once before years where they can actually compete in arenas which are compatible through oper. mason bought reality is when they get to tokyo and get to those arenas and see how unusually quiet it is. i think it could affect some

performances. there will be no fans in tokyo, but the delayed games are still going ahead. with the opening ceremony, just 2 weeks away. david stokes al jazeera, australia's most popular city is tightening. coven 19 restrictions. as the delta strain continues to spread cities but in low towns is late june, the cases continue to rise with $44.00 infections reports on friday, the largest 80 rise since the current outbreak began last month. an extra 100 police have been deployed to patrol hotspot areas and the state leader has now limited the number of people who can gather. busy for funerals or to exercise awful us states the thing arising kind of in 1900 cases among unvaccinated people. the centers for disease control, recorded and 11 percent increase in cases last week. most of them in areas with low

a major part of the problem. interest reports from the northwest, nigerian state of casino, running out of options. tom was in northern nigeria, i increasingly turning to urban spaces to cultivate crops, or motor to them were totally and others like him. i know planting crops and residential areas in the city. the land may not be particularly suitable for agriculture, but he hopes his family will at least get something out of his efforts. that will kind of remind me when you can see how the land is. but when you are start from farming, being the only occupation you know and has a family to feed them, sees any opportunity that comes away. that's what we are trying to do here. before filling his village because of attacks by gunman, he was harvesting 50 to 60 bags annually. not enough to feed the family, but he says enough to just survive this year. there was struggle to get 5 percent of that much of farming activity as nigeria is in the hands of small farmers trying

to feed their families. and those are the hardest it by violence from both or bandits and kidnappers. agriculture production across the north nigeria, greens, a serial production belt. if it's steep decline in some states, access to fata land trunk by almost 60 percent because of attacks by groups. but we're the reduced, i've put, comes for shortages and higher prices and it also heating those selling local produce at the local market, lack of supplies and poor demand. i put in many traders out of business with them. all right, and we're not happy that the price of food is so expensive, much of the grains we sell here, come from other things when you factor in transportation and the risk prices should normally go up. we have 2 extra se desperate times lie ahead and the government is running out of time and options lose that, you know,

leave on their farms. the for systems promise. i will be absolutely without food. and the are the greater number of farmers over 80 percent. which means that at least at least about 60 percent of our population, i like to go without food without any food in the us, poor for tomorrow. and that is definitely an assessment. humanitarian agencies agree with aid worker say, the continued violence has put the lives of millions in my area and other countries of the region at risk. so strangely, 19th and i didn't buy the tree has been targeting the grooves. yet, attacks and kidnapping of villages continue. and many of those who depend on agriculture to feed their families cannot now access their phones. degrees, algae zeta. kevin. it's been 10 years since i'll sit on,
