the center of saigon was a war zone. the press retreated in effect that the caravel hotel. and many of the story is mentioned we received was from the caravan. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, lauren taylor. this is their news. i live from london. coming up. widow haiti's assassinated president accused his enemies of organizing his killing to stop the democratic change. to confederate statues that helps fog a violent watch premises rally are removed in charlottesville, virginia. 8 people are arrested over a fire in

also urged the country not to lose its way could be the mercenaries entered my house and killed my husband. that murder made me and my children cry, and i know it made you cry too. what happened has no name. a criminal has to have the courage to murder a president. as of another myself. they sent the mercenaries to kill the president in his home with his family, over issues of water, electricity referendum, and the approaching election, so that there is no transition in the country. there are other mercenaries who want to assassinate the ideals of the president who went to assassinate the vision of the president. they killed him in my arms in front of my eyes. we cannot let the president die a 2nd time. i am crying, it is true, but we cannot let the country lose its way. haiti has appealed to both the us and the un to send troops after the president, the fascination. but washington says it has no plans to send military assistance.

later on friday, pay to senate nominated joseph numbers to serve as the new interim president until new elections, which are scheduled for september. politicians also backed law, he to replace kudos f as the prime minister. article hindrances live from washington d. c was. ringback the principal calculus in the u. s. over haiti. well, sending in the us military was always going to be a tough ass keeping in mind. president joe biden, bringing troops home from afghanistan, telling the american public he was going to do a costly deployment to haiti, not something the public would likely support. so that seems like that's off the table. the us says that they're going to send millions and aid. they're going to allow refugees from haiti to stay here. the program that the former president wanted to get rid of. they're going to send people to help with the investigation from the federal bureau of investigation, the department of homeland security. but definitely sending the message to the military is not an option. what the u. s. wants to see is some sort of political

stability. they've been pushing for the elections to continue to happen is early as september, opposition leaders on the ground. so it's not possible to do that because there's so much chaos on the ground with gangs running wild and this investigation continuing. and they're important to point out, we still don't know who was behind the murder of the haitian president. c so the u . s. does matter though, the us has a long involvement in haiti, especially it is politics, it hasn't the military and in the past. so there's going to be a lot of trying from haiti to the dc, trying to get the support of the biden administration because the calculus is going to be if the by the administration came out and said this person is the person who should lead haiti until elections that would go a long way. obviously they're doing the public behind the scenes likely trying to broker some sort of agreement so that they can get some sense of security and some sense of who's leading the country just we just heard from joseph lambert who there

was a resolution by a 3rd of the senate say that he'd be the new president, he just sent out a tweet saying, i was supposed to do my investigator ceremony, but more senators wanted to be here. so it's postponed. likely, again, this is the us behind the scenes talking to all the power players trying to figure out where they can all agree on somebody to lead haiti. try and call the situation and work towards having those elections, possibly in september. patty calhoun. thank you very much. indeed, a statue of a u. s. confederate general at the center of violent clashes 4 years ago, has been removed from the city of charlottesville, virginia, on lucas cheered as the robert e. lee monument was lifted from the prince, a statue fellow, confederate, general, thomas, stonewall. jackson was also taken away, and there were no signs of the protests of 4 years ago as undergo reports. the campaign is in charlottesville, 4 years to remove the statue of confederate, general and slave. oh no, robert e. lee. on saturday morning,

the way to send the security forces into 4 correct neighborhoods to end 2 days of fighting with game 1st, protest is remoted with impunity and iraq now activists and journalists to being targeted and the bitter rivalry is ready to resume between brazil and argentina. look ahead to the call for america finals that kicked off in a couple of hours. our guns are taking up arms and joining the fight against the taliban as the group continues, its rapid advance north on saturday on citizens and afghan security forces battled taliban fighters on the outskirts of containers. most districts in the province have already fallen to the taliban. they've made huge gains in recent weeks and claim to be in control now of 85

percent of the country. but the army commander and conduce says his horses have managed to keep them out of the city itself. almost a 100 for us on gun forces are ready to defend the homeland. and during the past few days, the enemy has cut down so much offensive in the city of condos, that they say strong resistance from our forces and stuff it heavy losses. as a result of an extend its control across kind of song. many women fear the gains made over the past 20 years could be lost when the taliban was removed from power. african women became prominent politicians activists, police officers and judges in more recent days. though restraints on education, freedom of movement and clothing, a returning in some areas, the reports that some women of being ordered to web workers and others told not to leave home alone. female journalist immediate work has been particularly targeted by the taliban. the african journalists safety committee says 14 was threatened to

be prominent and speak out about women's rights. and in their hurry departure. they don't seem to have thought very much about what the consequences might be for the women who, who took that invitation. so we think that providing visas for women who feel they have no choice, but fleet to flee is, is something urgently important and a responsibility that countries out is women. pakistan is gearing up for a large influx of refugees because of the recent taliban gains in afghanistan. focused on shares to border crossings with afghanistan. but only one is operational, local officials and making plans for camps that house large numbers of africans. so for refugees haven't started arriving. anything can happen at any time. they can arise, possibly enlarged numbers from outside preparations are being completed within 3 or 4 days. if the need arises, were going to set up one camp for african refugees on

a separate camp for people with corona virus. in his right in security forces have moved to in 2 days of heavy fighting between police and gangs in caracas, was to 1000 police and military personnel entered for poor neighborhoods on the capital in the capital. on friday, after battle between gangsters and police, government has been reported to saying that these 26 people died and 2 days of flashes for the police officers. it's blaming the violence on opposition plotters trying to destabilize present nicholas madura. now if somebody had put about on him this morning, we were woken up by the sound of grenades. it's terrible to be living with such things. i t c o no one after another day before long one fell on the roof of my house and we couldn't find the bullet anywhere, but there's a whole fill comes in as a senior analyst at the international crisis group and has spent almost 40 years reporting on latin america, he joins us from crackers. thanks very much for being with us. it sounded like a,

an extraordinary situation on the streets though. is it now all under control? fears to be temporarily at least. yes, the government is re establish control over the killer body as the shooting seems to have died down. but this is a recurrent pass along an incorrect. this is not the 1st time we see in this public records, or indeed the other end of the value of the east and under the valley. similar sorts of things with gangs that are entrenched in the body of a very, very hard to dislodge the extreme new alarm. and the opposition of a blaming the government to the rise of the gangs and the gun just by the opposition and foreign powers for trying to destabilize madura what you'll take on how they've become so powerful. well, you know, the government is looking definitely for a narrative and that will, i suppose, let it off the hook because it's extremely embarrassing, obviously to have a significant part of the capital darn close to the presidential palace in the

hands of the, the criminal. i mean, the government story doesn't really make a lot of sense be, these are not, you know, they're talking about the opposition funding, financing, the gang. these are criminal gangs, the finance themselves. and the real reason is, i suppose the principal reason is impunity really the breakdown of the criminal justice system, whether it's the police cause the prison system is all broken down. and there is consider imperative law allows the gangs to, to grow. there's also corruption on the part of the security forces themselves who appear some of them at least to be supplying with weapons. and ammunition was the gang very gang, but the shooting of them. and so in this case, they seem to have gone in with quite a kind of large operation to, to try to run them up. apparently you me, some risk involved in doing this in a built up area. there are and there are a lot of civilian casualties. i didn't think we heard from the government a full account of those casualties. a lot of people are actually being injured by

stray bullets quite a long way from, from where the actual gun bus is taking place. because the all of them to the criminal to use it includes quite a high power, those magic rifles because these bullets fly a long way. and they immediately bid the surrounding area of the not just the area where the fighting is taking place. that everybody is kind of while is, while this is happening, the cowering in their homes, hoping to avoid being shop itself. and you mentioned that the breakdown of the legal system, if you like, what is going to happen to the people that have rounded up from these gangs? well, of course, when we can't be sure that they have people who are genuine lazy, the criminals who are actually guilty quite a lot of the time. what happens is, please go in and round up. any young man who looks like they might be a gang member in order to round up the statistics of the say that the criminal

justice system is essentially broken down. they can't really expect their human rights to be observed. for example, there is widespread rhetoric, reports of, of torture, police custody, and so on. and it's, it's very unlikely that these kinds of roundups will resolve the problem. the problem is to stomach, unfortunately some. com some. thank you very much indeed. federal just thank you. thank you. our hosts, brazil will take on arch rivals, argentina and the 47th golfer america final a couple of hours from now. the matches being played to in for just 7800 fans. 10 percent of the american as stadiums capacity. because if coven 19 restrictions, there was widespread criticism of the decision to an i, brazil to stage the month long event. the country has the 2nd highest covered 19 death toll. after the us, we have correspondence standing by in brazil and argentina. and start with the monica of in rio de janeiro. what's the atmosphere like where you all

will the atmosphere here is nobody is really sharing here in brazil for america. there are many reasons for this the last minute the hosting is one of them. the fact that it's become politicized with president able, so not accepting to host this tournament, just as the country was reaching the landmark of half a 1000000 dead by coven 19. but there's also the fact that there's a national football tournament going on at the moment. brazilians are cheering for their local teams and they're not much worried about what's going on with the cup america. especially there is some of them actually that have been sharing for me on a messy for margin, tina, just because they think he is the greatest football player in the world today. and we're standing right in front of the matter gonna stadium. usually this will be packed with tourist because urgent tina is right close by and many argent times

would be coming here to enjoy the beach and watch the football game. but very few people have been walking here as a matter of fact, many of them, the few that have, were most the argentina times with the national flag. so for brazilians, it isn't a big thing. and it's a very unusual comp. america want to thank you very much and it's good to done your family who's conference will know what to expect. patients for the game itself. monica was exciting. this new, the subdued build up is very similar here. argentine also been hit very hard by the cobra demick normally at times like this. so a couple of medicos for world cup one cyrus is covered in flags, was putting up big screens are covered in the national flag. there was, well, tens of thousands of odds and fines would travel to brazil. big screen sets up in

the main classes. none of that on this occasion. people are talking about it. they're going round to a friend's house, isn't families out is to watch the game. but not the razzmatazz, the excitement we would normally see for these big told them i thought this is oftentimes i hope it is the 1st time they can win the cup america since 993, they're hoping little nessie could when his 1st major international told them and he's been losing finally some 4 occasions in the corporate america. so there is some hope and expectation but very subdued, very much inside people with houses rather on the street. although it's tina when then i think we will see some celebration as a kind of distraction from the misery of the fan demik. daniel trying to thank you very much. indeed. us more still to come this our public confidence in china's song of vaccine wayne's in thailand as cases continue to serge warnings of empty shelves. and the u. k. is the panoramic bricks that lead

to a major shortage of truck drivers and people outside the token hotel where the i o c present thing calling for the games to be cancelled. ah, well, once again, i have to report that the heat for a good part of europe is being driven out of the way by yet more incoming weather. weather being cloud, wind and rain, but mostly chatter rain of the british isles and france. and they've got the maybe that's, that's the general area, which is the most unsettled, if you'd like. but it has influenced the rest of europe. and we left just a few scattered chairs around significant rain drifting up to the north of sweden and rain hanging. the british charles in dolton, france, so temperature wise, it's around the edges where it's warm is particularly, and surprisingly in finland,

which has the highest june average since 844th $170.00 odd. yet it's still quite warm, inflamed and down through the baltic states as well. helsinki, for example, the capital, the record 33, and we're looking at 32 of the forecasts for saturday, sunday, and monday, a little bit cooler. but i still went on to of the 21 degree average. so this is the war merrier if you're not as hard as it has been, for example, the se in greece, turkey still quite hot in spain, but again madrid's dropped back to about thirty's, where it should be down the bottom left out of the fear where it is at his hottest seville is still up to $42.00 on sunday. reco was 47 but was still above average. the news departed from the u. k. indoctrinated by somali as how can a young man disillusion by violence?

we build as light. i am going to make a mistake and re unite. it's common africa. no knife for me is also my last warrior, a witness documentary on a judge. join the debate. do not have vaccines reaching those who are most of the needs and amplify your voice. it allowed a diverse community and how an array of different story know topic it's of the table. it's such a tough ethical debate where there is obviously discrimination and systematic discrimination of play. people are thursdays for new wasted. this stream where a global audience becomes a global community on al jazeera. oh,

i am one of the top stories and the widow of haiti's assassinated president, his accused political enemies of organizing his killings, to stop democratic change. nothing was speaking with a 1st time since driven anyways, was shot dead at his home. on wednesday, a statue of us confederate general robert e lee, which was the focus of violent clashes 4 years ago, has been removed from the city of charlottesville, virginia, a statue general, thomas stonewall. jackson was also taken down on the owner of bangladesh. the factory where at least 52 people died in a far on thursday, has been arrested for murder. 4 of his sons and 3 company officials were also detained. many of the dead were trapped inside the building by a locked door. the last rebel held enclave of italy, bits in desperate need of

a permanent long term medical supply system health care that has been ravaged by the crew of ours pandemic and an ever deepening humanitarian crisis. and a un agreement to extend the delivery of aid from turkey to northwest syria for 12 months will do little to ease the fear on uncertainty region, which will have the reports from it live. it lives medical infrastructure is in ruins. and it's making medical care hard to find for some serious, most warrantable people told me that i missed about with facing tremendous difficulties in the hospitals. the city is on the front line, raising targets the medical facilities constantly. our whole treatment relies on the aid we received. the supplies must continue without restrictions because if they stop in the people will only suffer more than others in the last decade, hundreds of medical.
