the group says hundreds remained the detention in unknown locations. now the deputy president of ethiopia is i'm hot. our region, santa amanda throw, has told al jazeera additional forces have been deployed to the borders with the guy. it's to counter to guy and fighters who launched a new offensive earlier this week. officer got rag government access to a disputed region in western te gray. from where catherine saw reports. the i'm horror, special forces and the few p and federal police. at a checkpoint in my car, they're passing through require identification papers. we won't read regional government guided trip, but even filming the forces and the militia called funnel was difficult. the town claimed by both the em. hara, anti grand ethnic communities was under t guys administration before the war started in november. it's one of the was the trophies happened. hundreds of people were killed. the communities accuse each

other's fighters of committing it. gathered mass gal manghese to a farmer says a dispute about regional buddha territories goes back decade. all the glare leaders want to come on for shadowy, the recreated assistant that film. and then when the war and the power will not visit our land. to gran fighters are now pushing south and west. they say they're taking back territory seized by higher forces in the last 8 months of conflict, political and military leaders in the capital, harder, i get increasingly nervous about the gains being made by great defense forces. they'll say they'll do whatever it takes to protect their land and people who are the regions vice president shoes as a $985.00 map. their places might of the dispute territories in harrow region. the borderline have however, since been redrawn he thousands when the t cry people's liberation front or

t p are left to power the next to the land to take right. we have never, ever accepted the amount of people in the regional government has never endorsed it . we have never been consulted. so whenever you say historical dispute as it, it takes you some time years to behind. and one time it was there, another time it was here. that's what you call dispute. it has never been. so it couldn't be just a dispute. it was rather taken unit 30 by that period if it was decided mom higher forces and now being deployed to the front lines. but the vice president also called on people here to defend themselves. i think they, they should be aware of, and it will be informed be on the same platform that is where whenever the aggressors came, at least they have to prepare themselves in any way it to defend in any mechanism that they have to take up arms. yes, many to grands who lived in my car there and then nearby who married town have fled

to refugee camps across the border in sudan, who still here recently held protest against the guys political leadership and its forces. it was not clear to us if they were on the streets willingly or had been classed. every interview we tried to do was in the presence of a minder with a gun that the grounds were afraid to speak openly. catching story all jazeera, i'm horror region if you'll be a pulitzer prize winning indian photo journalist has been killed in afghanistan, kandahar district knowledge. the dickie was chief photographer for the reuters news agency and was riding with the african special forces that he was caught in the crossfire between taliban enough can troops in these spin bolduc german border area and daniel bus die is the asia pacific director report director at reporters without borders and joins me now from parents on skype. good, happy with us. and mr. bizarre on the program. another sad day, really for journalism, this is really

a tragedy damage. the. the key was a very renowned, respected photographer, the people in india where he was from ready to devastated. i had many messages from, from the student who wanted to convey bear with the, with, with the family and with, with the profession as a whole. danesh was really feel as courageous john, these who, who, who gave a very low talk to me to the storytelling of the people he would, he would photograph. so when we talk about, i've got this done now just one conflict. so what are the conditions and the dangers like the journalists on the ground because quite obviously, you know, fatalities can happen. they can happen, they do happen. there are 2 guys of operate. john, these are exposed to not getting them in the case of any steady key. he was caught

in cross fire wire covering some some some, some arm opperation the other. and the other possibility is that still the started grid 3 targeted by, in general by the taliban. just to give you a very quick figure, dentistry keith read either the list or media physician or queue, you know, get it done since the beginning of this year. and if you tried to see where the journalist was given up, can you stand out from you see that most of them are from the east, either bad or come that are like like steady key. so if you look at the match against the real, real correlation between the 2 p m and how much more dangerous do you think the situation is going to get for journalists on the ground and got this done as the, as the us withdrawal seems to have happened and the taliban is apparently gaining

more ground. exactly like the tragic death of damage that he said. all the sign that the taliban are back, the name, the taliban opera, the game. because the bad and there are terrible. i think political are clearly back in the game while the us it's withdrawing and other very clear figures since early 2020, when the taliban and the us army back to view very the withdrawal of the us army. there has been 12 journalists who have been killed mostly especially by just having been actually. so just give you a very quick figure of how tragic the situation is getting put on the ground. the taliban pre 911 were not big fans. of the media is certainly not big friends of journalists, many died in the time that they were in charge. us got to stand all day any

different now. i mean, if this is, this is obviously the fighting going on between the afghan army and the taliban. but if and when that ever ceases, what do you think the role of journalism will be in a country like gun is on? and will it be to lots of gender, those reporting on the taliban side? news reporting on the economic side. well, now we're very like that and see to see that the taliban are more acceptable because the negotiation. but what, what the killing of damage that the key really shows the fact that they haven't changed at all. they just have their own people as i see, and they're only political a terror and, and be sealed. don't solely raise the free exercise option, leads them either on the ground when they fight with, with the guns, special forces are when their daily life, when your list are specifically targeted by the telephone. so the, the,

the future is i'm a say is, is very dark. i'm going to send it to college tuition. well, like you, daniel, i'm sure we'll send a doll condolences to mister city. he's family in india as a fellow journalist and our team here. we also commiserate with their loss as well . thank you very much for joining us from paris, your worker, your worker, france, the european union, and the us calling on lebanese politicians to actually form a cabinet after the prime minister designate quit. sotheby's resignation has worse than the already struggling economy with many uncertain how to make ends meet. dana called a repulse not from beirut. its rush hour in bay route, but one of lebanon's busiest transport point barely has any passengers arise and fuel prices. increased affairs, a financial crisis means the majority of the population of the small nation is

struggling to afford basic needs. more of a lot of transportation allowance they used to be paid to workers was enough. it's not the case. any longer. transportation costs increased by at least 4 times the loss and value of the local currency. the leader has affected purchasing power. it has lost nearly 95 percent of its worth in nearly 2 years. but in recent weeks, it has been in free fall, reaching a record low after lebanon's politicians reached a dead end and efforts to form a new government. eastern $1500.00. now my salary is worth $100.00 and they are in lira. we are always in debt. lebanon has been without the functioning government for nearly a year without one, an unprecedented economic meltdown can't be reversed. instead, rival politicians have been fighting for power and prime minister designate saddle heidi's decision to step aside complicates a solution. this could be an open ended political crisis. heidi who is considered

the leader of the muslim sunday community says he will not endorse a replacement. the post, the prime minister is reserved for his community. that is why his support is important because power is shared among religious, that the state is nearly bankrupt. and this has affected many sectors, including health care and one aspect that is the issue of the stuff that are leaving in droves because of the financial pressures they're under. that is, the shortages and medications and supplies and the issue of the fuel and the power cuts before the hospitals were excluded from the severe power cuts that the general population were under. but now the hospitals have been included in the scots. there are also shortages in medicine, as importers struggled to find hard currency and i did, i can't find medicine for my blood pressure and heart problems. i go to bed at

night, not knowing if i will wake up the next morning. international calls are growing louder for lebanese leaders to form a reform minded government to deal with the collapse. but so far, the priority of the political class accused of years of corruption is clinging on to power. then they're also, you know, they wrote. now the us has been 84 half 1000000 vaccine doses to indonesia, battle se asia worth crone lives outbreak. indonesia reported a record 1025 virus related deaths on friday. it's recording more daily infections in india and only 6 percent of the population has been vaccinated. the government says it's a worst case scenario situation with at least 56000 new cases in just one day. jessica washington has more on the situation from indonesia. here at ross han cemetery in north chicago, this is one of the designated cove at 900, very old in the canadian capital and you just 7 days ago. and already we can see

the difference of just how many more grades have been added areas, parts of this field that was empty before and now on the currents that describe side as is the case with many of the covert, 900 burial sites in indonesia. it's fond filling out the sun is in fact studying, but there's no end inside the work for these great big is a big, tirelessly even having to use heavy machinery like excavators, to keep up with their workload as the desk told. here continue to write as indonesia struggle through this wave of covert 19 cases, some cemeteries have even had to extend the operating hours and some operating on a 247 basis just so grave diggers can keep up with their workload. and even though the official death toll is more than a 1000 deaths each day, and as tragic as that number is expertise, say that it doesn't reflect the reality on the ground. and even local government

data shows that the number of people being buried according to covert 19 protocol is much higher than the number of confirmed deaths and not suggests that because of indonesia, low rates of testing, many people died before they even had the chance to take a covert 900 tests, and as indonesia hospitals and all the health care facilities overwhelmed by this wave of infection, we are seeing an increase in the death toll because many people are forced to self isolate at home without even the prospect of medical care. while thailand has posted a record daily 100 credit virus infections as concern mounts about delays in vaccine deliveries. more than 9600 cases are reported in the last 24 hours of danced resent accounts for an extension on the delivery of 61000000 vaccine day. since the philippines is detected at 1st, locally transmitted case of the delta variance ok with 19 neighboring countries,

things surge and infections driven by the ball contagious strain. wednesday, the philippines announced a band on travelers from indonesia, which is battling south in stages was outbreak. he'll st. louis and stay to victoria has become a snap 5 day lockdown. that means about 40 percent of the country's population is not under a stay at home order. the states confirmed that 18 cases of the virus med sofa. the infection spread from sydney, which is also seeing a rise in cases despite heading into its 4th week of a locked arm. you south wells. premier has warned that she may tighten restrictions even further. as we suspected, new south wild type came last night had 97 cases of community transmission. unfortunately, at $29.00 of those we understand were infectious the all of the time that they were infectious in the community. and this is the number that is concerning, that number of people being infectious in the community keeps going up. and we really, really want to stress to everybody place died. hon. follow the orders in particular

. now the number of people infected with k 19 is rising in parts of africa because of the rapidly spreading delta variant with oxygen in short supply synagogue health ministries, investing in mobile oxygen facilities to be deployed in health centers. nicholas sack reports from docker. 4 year old who me one is getting her tonsils removed, they normally routine operation. if it were not for coven 19 oxygen has become a precious resource. and this the ologist could just cannot afford to waste. she'd minister's it with caution. if someone has no oxygen for just 3 minutes, they will go into cardiac arrest. that could lead to certainly proxy oxygen is vital for us for the patient. once you leave the machine of the oxygen into our system, keeping her alive in the operation room, there are no oxygen tanks. me and 250 patients in need of oxygen are connected to

this noise machine found in the back of the hospital machine. does the breathing for them? it takes in ambient air, concentrating the oxygen and pumping it through pipe. the hospital surgery theaters in wards setting up the ministry of health ordered these mobile oxygen facilities to all of its public hospitals just before the cove in 1900 outbreak looks just at the medical. oxygen is medicine and without it, we cannot treat patients in many developing countries. there is a leg excess to auction, which means some surgery are cancelled because buying oxygen things is too expensive. and so our head of states make hospitals autonomy as an oxygen, a top priority faced with the contagious cove at 900 delta variance, the state is deploying mobile oxygen machines to every health facilities in the

country. to ensure surgery can go as planned. this is a crucial part of the post operation phase is where patients regained consciousness tends to steady flow of oxygen and prevented the patient from running into respiratory distress and helps them catch their own breath. every breath counts. a coalition of global health campaigner says 18 low income countries are dealing with an acute oxygen shortage. most are in africa. the cues multinational companies of overcharging oxygen supply buying oxygen used to be the hospitals biggest expense. now that we don't depend on it, we invest that money into pink staff on time, and ensuring better treatment. who me is slowly waking up from a surgery that would not be possible without oxygen and essential and life saving resource. that so many lead the face of

a 3rd wave of cove in 1900 infections in africa. nicholas hawk algae or the car. well still had here on out there. it's one week until it started to take care of anything but kind of 19, continue to disrupt preparations. people like peter, what of all the latest? it's bold. ah . the news

with me. ah. ah. ah. ah peter. so thank you very much. now, just one weeks ago, until the tokyo limping finally gets on the way off to use delay because of the

pandemic. but correct of ours cases continues arise in the city. and on friday, a 60 year old member of nigeria is delegation. was hospitalized after testing positive, the president of the international olympic committee, thomas bar, and he's, vice president john codes have separate visits to he rossimer and i got sucky on friday. 2 cities hit by atomic bombs in 1945. the olympic and paralympic games that tokyo 2020 will be a beacon of hope for a better and more peaceful future. we need more solidarity but his adamant the games post 0 risks to the japanese public. but we spoke to a piece, all right, a stephen wading tokyo and he says, people on the ground remain skeptical. i think the japanese public is not buying it . i think it's impossible to say there's 0 risk you just mentioned. we're having every day a smattering of cases. it's impossible for mr. bach to say it's going to be

perfectly safe. 11000 atlantic athletes, 4400 paralympic athletes coming in here. tens of thousands of more officials, judges me broadcasters. it's impossible. things will not flip through the cracks and he knows that, but he can only say they're going to be safe and secure. and before the pandemic struck, this was, this is, and he still says the best prepared city ever. these would have been magnificent games. a stadium behind is by can go, coma is a masterpiece. it was bits recently built and looks like it's been in the city forever. these would have been wonderful games, but the pandemic took the air out of everything. and then when the japanese organizer had to start reorganizing, the cars started to go up, people started to get skeptical, and they're still skeptical a week from now, we're going to have 1000 people apparently in the stadium that said 68001000 people to see the opening ceremony of the tokyo olympics that shows you how desperate the situation is and how the ios see despite everything else has to have this on television. that's the money maker,

tv makes the money. and so that's what's driving these games forward. i think when it starts, like all lympics, you know, we run up to elliptic games are very contentious. they're difficult. this is a massive event to put on. there's always problems when the game starts very typically, the fans get into it. so judo is a very early event here for japan of jazz, japan does well in judo, i suspect the public will start to raise the flag and wave it. these are after all, very nationalistic driven games. so once the games begin, people will get behind that. i think the japanese public will forget very quickly or at least temporarily what went before and they'll get caught up, particularly if they do well. know if they disappoint, that could be another. another matter. japanese police are looking for a member of uganda. weightlifting team who has gone missing julius se, quito let code disappeared from the teams base in western japan. it's being reported he hadn't made the final team and was due to fly home on july 20th before the start of the games. it's just over $200.00 days for the winter olympics and

venues all nearing completion in beijing. but china, hosting of the games has been shrouded in controversy. katrina, you reports from a gen g co, north of beige being brand new $1000000000.00, ski and snow facilities. and a newly constructed olympic village organizes up to 2022 winter games, se venues in jung junko on the northern outskirts of beijing are just 2 months from completion date off with the beijing window and picks is a very open event. i hope it will give people around the world something positive to focus on. especially with the pandemic. the winter olympics, a juice opened in february, just 6 months after the summer games and took care. but rising corbett 19 infections across the region, a worrying organizes chinese borders has been closed since march last year. and authorities haven't indicated when they will reopen. the current of virus isn't the only challenge organizers are facing. staging will be the 1st city to horse board.

the summer and the winter olympics, the 2008 games took place, just as china was starting to emerge as a leader on the world stage. in 2022. it's image and status will be vastly different. crackdowns of the democracy movement at hong kong and allegations of human rights abuses against the weaker minority. and should john have prompted calls for a bully? caught on thursday, the british m. p. 's voted his date, a diplomatic boy called of what they dubbed the genocide games. last week, the you parliament voted to do the same. the votes, art binding, white group say they send a strong message saying you're going to my, you know, in human rights abuses. in hong kong, him and china, chinese authorities deny human rights abuses are being committed and say a bully caught will not succeed. the i or c headed by thomas park says the olympics

should not be influenced by politics in john doc. oh, preparations continue. china has pledge to deliver a green and inclusive winter olympics, but how many people will be invited or choose to attend remains in question. katrina, you are the 0 young jackal paging to the gulf and they are the new leader at the open championship. american column. more recall picked up 7 booties during the 2nd round, royal saint george's, and that's taken into 9 and the overall 3 clear of the field. well recall has 11 major before that was the 2020 pga championship to the women's too. and for the 2nd day running their 2 sisters time for the lead at the dow great lakes bay invitational, but differences to the time. on thursday, it was merely and jessica caught at the top of the leaderboard, but now incredibly been overtaken by the do to new gun assistance from thailand, maria and maria shaw, the suburban, living under pomp of the mine. to take
