and questions they used to be of our around the globe on out to me play an important role. protecting human kind. ah, doctor's face. ah oh, this is al jazeera ah. hello. i'm rob matheson, this is the news are live from bill coming up in the next 60 minutes. so real terrifying the german chancellor describes the flood zone where more than a 100 people have been killed and dozens of others are still missing. the taliban disagrees with proposals and a political roadmap to end the violence of gaston saying the afghan government must

prove its commitment. indonesia loses more than 500 doctors to covered 19 as a record number of very infections makes up a sense of asia pandemic. and the top oil producers reach a compromise yield to boost output ending disputes, which in saudi arabia and the united out of emma's and the same to the sports news with just 5 days to go. 10 more code 19 cases are reported inside the olympic village in tokyo. and this time it includes 2 south african athlete. ah, demons who angle america has described the scenes in the villages left destroyed by floods as so real and ghostly. and the crisis in western europe is only getting worse. more heavy rain. i said parts of eastern germany, austria, and the czech republic, at least a 183 people are confirmed dead,

but that number is expected to rise as the water line seeds market has visited the worst at the village of short. what about $12000.00 residents would affected? she's crazy. emergency services and communities helping each other. is this a slick? it's terrifying. i would say there's no word in the german language to describe this devastation. but what i witness is incredibly comforting. it's how people are sticking together, how they helping each other this solidarity among people. meanwhile, the netherlands remains on high alert. the army is being brought in to reinforce flood defenses and carry out emergency repairs. and while the ring stopped in belgium, a massive cleanup operation is underway. as the search for survivors continues. is going to be a national day of mourning there on tuesday. well, we've got a team of correspondents across the flood zone shortly. we're going to hear from natasha. butler in the city of v, as in belgium. stevenson is standing by in nevada and in the southeast of

benevolence. an autumn rainy is watching developments in short and western gemini. let's go to adam 1st. while touring this region, chancellor, anglo merkel actually said that there weren't appropriate words in the german language to truly encapsulate the level of devastation and destruction that she saw firsthand. now that she's toward the devastated zone, we've been speaking to locals here in short, germany, one of the villages hardest hit by these floods. and they say they themselves have no idea if they're going to be able to rebuild. and whether they'll take months or years. we spoke to one man, one of the owners of a bar, one of the most german businesses, of course. and he said he's trying his best to maintain a sense of happiness through this awful time. because if he let himself truly feel the true emotional weight of what he witness and the destruction of the bar that he's trying to clean out. and think about rebuilding that he wouldn't be able to come in and get that work going that make no mistake. this is going to be not a weeks or months long process, this is going to take years. and in that time,

this region may be hit by more flooding to come. because scientists are starting to say that we should be more prepared in the future for such heavy and intense storms that won't be stopping anytime soon. well, the flood waters that are receding from gemini, i know, passing through the netherlands, set boston's joining us live now from new bergen step. just what we can see behind you, the level of the water against the trees there. just tell us what's going on. yes . how are we scary moment still here for people living along the river the most as its at its highest level in many, many years. and that means that there have been working throughout the night, the army police residence. everyone came together to, to work with fan backs to strengthen and then for the dikes. there were some correct damages at certain places water was coming through. so it was really an emergency situation. i spoke to residents, love being very nervous,

but they really didn't want to leave. they wanted to help to enforce dykes because that's what the dutch of course are known for. they know they are battle against water, the battle against nature. well, they're now being challenged to the max. they never really expected it to be here in this part of the country because this is a part that's above sea level. this is where in the south, where everyone thought everyone would be safe. but that apparently didn't work with this. extreme wider methodologist have sat for this kind of rainfall. we don't have any models. we don't know how to predict how much water could go to the rivers and how strong the sky just because that's another concern. this water is basically soaking the dikes right now, and that's really worrying the authority. so thank you very much indeed. step voss and talking to some new bargain. what in belgium? tens of thousands of people are without alan tricity. and there's also concern about the supply of clean drinking water. the health minister has been visiting one

of the worst effected areas in the city of yes. pure look at what it means for people who are affected in this city. it's awful. it's really all the mayor tells me that he needs guess. he says 5000 houses have been impacted in differing degree. more than 10000 people are estimated to have been impacted just in the town of liaison, which means that we're talking about 8 percent of the population who felt the impact at the level of the people. it's really horror latasha bottles in the eyes with the latest on the search and rescue efforts in belgium. hundreds, thousands of people have actually had to leave their home, forced out by the flood waters. and then there are those people who tried to hang on and stay in their homes and they didn't want to leave and go to shelter. but they've had to leave anyway because some emergency work is saying some of the homes

are simply not safe enough. they've been too damaged by the salt water for them to say many homes have collapse. other homes have been severely weakened. so what emergency work is all doing is really going from house to house. they are trying to see if they can still find survivors. there is still a possibility, they say we know that least 100 people are missing, but it could be that some older frail, more vulnerable people, so shelter or higher floors in their home. and the best to sug that because communication went down in some parts of this region off the flood waters, kids and pops. they haven't been able to contact the outside world if you like, the emergency workers still hopeful, they'll find people alive. but of course they are saying that it is possible that they will still retrieve some body. so it's still a very difficult situation for people here. they're still coming to terms with what has happened to them. and you can see behind me a lot of activity as people in this community in this neighborhood, the,

as you're trying to clean up, trying to save what they can, even though there's not much to faith because everything has been so badly impacted . the taliban is express done. so what proposal is on a political roadmap and constitution for ghana stone as it hold talks with an afghan government delegation in ca, todd. now group says it once the afghan government to show it holds some power. the taliban is demanding the release of $70000.00 prisoners is a confidence building measure. but the after delegation says a ceasefire. its top priority was lin, jordan is standing by in washington dc with the latest reaction from there. but 1st, let's talk to some of the binge of it. who's out the venue of the talks here in doha. some where does this leave the talks now? well, rob, we've been seeing some hectic diplomacy in the last couple of hours when the talks were supposed to end, the joint communicate was supposed to come out on the agreement that both sides

have reached and that does not seem to have amounted to much. so there is last minute haggling, going on on what can be agreed upon. and there are 2 competing narratives that are being put forth by both sides. and that have been the case that these talks began in september. in the last 2 days, there was a lot of hope that was put behind the talks. as a high member, 77 member high power delegation came from cobble being led by the chairman of the national peace council on the left. and it was met with my brother who is the head of the dollar bonds. phonetic locker hadn't got there. but it seems that both sides have ducked their heels. there haven't been any real movement because people were expecting that there is. now that d v. d, a sitting in one room, talking directly to each other. they are going to be able to make some progress. they're going to may be able to move towards each other to, to some extent. because the fighting on the ground has intensified the thought of

on seem to have the momentum of the fight behind them as they claim to have taken more than half of this done in the last few months. and the government is saying that they have been able to do it because they've been strategic retreats by the, by the government forces. and they are confident that they'd be able to reverse those gains in the next few months. so this seems to be no real movement and nobody in progress to try and come to a solution. i didn't how to solve the problem. and yet a summer we can't lose sight of the fact that despite the we have reached the stumbling block. and it looks as though as you were saying, no progress appears to have been made. both sides are still in the same room. they are still sitting around the table and that is important, isn't it? but that those were the exact words of one of the did. it gets there who i spoke to said and asked them, what do you, how do you gauge progress in the fed? because this has been an ongoing conflict for the last 4 decades. progress is as long as both sides are on the table. they are never going to come out as, as

a happy, a solution to everything which is happened in the past. they are going to be compromises which have been, which have to be made. some of them have been made and the real progress will be when these differences are set aside. but that is an optimistic view of the situation on the ground. we've been hearing from all sides, including the host as well, who been trying to put the sides together in the room. you have to remember that after the us forces and as did, they are going to leave. it was a part that the talks were big done, but there has been a couple effort to try and bring those sites together, sit down and run room and ask them to resolve their differences. but they seem to be too deep to be able to be resolved, and there is a lot that is expected by both sides. so dr. now it is a game of who brings 1st and neither side is willing to give. some of thanks very much indeed to some of things i've aide in until let's get the reaction out of the us with our son, jordan, who's lived for us in washington. d. c rose,

but 24 hours ago. when we were talking about this you were describing in the us role in this as that of an interlocutor. how do you think that the us is viewing the talks given that we appear to have reached yet another set bank? well, it wouldn't be unexpected. for any high stakes negotiation to run into the stumbling blocks, perhaps. so the biggest parallel to this would be the negotiations that lead to the 2015 j c p. a way or a ron nuclear agreement. those talks went on for about 2 and a half years before all the parties agreed on the terms of that deal. so from washington's perspective, diplomacy takes a long time, it takes a lot of compromises. we heard some ban job, a just point out. and it's also worth pointing out that the u. s. official who is acting as the intermediary for these talks about resolved make a little odd is in got, are working to hear both sides of concerned and trying to help move the

process along. so whether or not there were a speedy resolution, obviously that's what everyone would want. but the really, the long view is more important to washington that both sides come up with an agreement that is going to lead to a stable government, especially after september. first, when the us military is supposed to be fully withdrawn from the country, roslyn, jordan and washington d. c. ross, thanks very much. indeed. major border border crossing between pakistan and afghanistan has been partially reopened. after the taliban seized control of the afghans side, on wednesday, hundreds of afghans have arrived at the frontier with small groups sell out into sherman in pakistan. it's an economic lifeline. so southern afghanistan with agricultural exports and other goods passing through it, nascar and governments launched an operation to lee take it. meanwhile,

pakistan continues fencing its long mountainous border with afghanistan. it began securing it in 2017 after a spate of attacks from africa based pakistani groups. but cabal accusers pakistan are providing a safe passage for the taliban to cross over and come hider has more from talk them on the pakistan african border focused on the longest border reduced neighbor of ronnie dawn, stretching over 2600 kilometers. it also one of the most challenging of rain redacted, ga, ranging from 7400 meters above sea level deserts and out most of the work had been undertaken by the budget on the military itself. already 90 percent of the work had been completed by august on her spend hundreds of millions of dollars on this project, which is likely to be completed by the end of 2021. they self gotten already helped and reducing the violence in august on and hoping that the better border management

between the 2 countries and budget tonge barrier on the on buckets on border is likely to help reduce that security risk to pakistan. and also not to give an opportunity for the guns who have been accusing budget on of letting infiltrate to come across. it's dedicating this fencing has also given a lot of strength not only to the border security on both sites and has also ensured that there is no any sort of infiltration, although budget on her set of hundreds of board along the frontier, rid of granite on it, complained that they have not done enough budget on the expect, the longer dig responsibility to be able to control their side of the border focused on it. already seeing the benefits of an elaborated border management system. this involves terminal imagery camera. it involves drones and constant

patrolling over a long stretch of territory and that of god. and also because of the fact that budget on it now keeping a close watch on this particular border. but the more ahead on the news out, including the yo use bunch the rung, the philippine president takes a job at a famous box or turned politician who says corruption is ramp and trying to fix a mass. my call for unity is south africa as president visits, one of the areas was affected by losing i know, walk, you know, one went away from a 1st, n b, a title since 1971 in peter's going to be here with the action and his board and his $500.00 doctors in indonesia has died from covered 19, despite and 95 percent of the vaccination rate among health workers cases continue

to search as the country struggles to contain its worst outbreak. and it's jessica washington report from casa a funeral industry is now looking to volunteers to help bury the dead on the outskirts of the indonesian capital, yet another family has lost a relative to cope. it won't wake up, she cries, please don't sleep. it's the last time she will ever see her father. as indonesia struggled through the surgeon covert 900 deaths, there were too many grieving families and not enough workers to help bury the dead . some communities are now relying on volunteers. you just get back to them and that we don't receive any payment. we do our job from the heart. he cleans the bodies and also drives coffins to the symmetry. i'm going to be the number of this is so high here. so this is what we can do to help the families.

they work from morning to night. every day they see more families in anguish. seeing the conditions of these families, i feel in my heart and need to help them. i think about them even after i get home . ah, this is just one of many, coven, 19 burial sites in indonesia, at all hours, hearses and ambulances, queue up with more bodies to be buried away, sick people, more people are dying alone in their homes. and most never had the chance to be treated in hospital as the death toll rise of covert 900 burial size. overwhelmed and grave digging have to work well into the night to keep up with demand. indonesia cove, at 19 fatality rate is the highest in se asia. but experts warn the government's

data doesn't reveal the extent of the crisis. we pray take that the real number of those who died from coffee 9 things should be 3 to 5 time higher than the officials. number each day, indonesia cases and deaths rise to record levels and more families come here to more those they've lost jessica washington out to 0 chicata people in vietnam, this capital hanoi have been ordered to stay home from monday as the clusters of corona virus spread. non essential services have been stopped, including public transport services to southern provinces. 3 quarters of reasons. infections have been detected in the south, including who humans, city, health, ministry, st ventilators, and thousands of workers to hot areas. to afraid have now tested positive for corona virus and the tokyo olympic village on saturday. an international olympic

committee member who was also in the village was confirmed to have the virus delayed games of judah officially opened. and friday, dozens of cases have been linked to the olympics since the start of july, the event has been facing opposition in japan because of fears it'll worse than the countries covered, 1900 outbreak. as it battles a search in infections. the new bonds in june stopped still, even with all measures fully taken. there will still be some positive cases. the corona virus situation is encompassing the entire world. so it is inevitable that there will be cases. what is important is that when such cases arise, we properly and systematically isolate them so that there will be no further transmissions. jeff kingston's, the director of asian studies at temple university in japan, he says, is growing concerned. the games will become a super spreader event. and they're trying to put a brave face on this of the io see chairman box on television, reassuring the japanese people there is 0 risk. but clearly there's

a law skepticism here and just add about these reassurances. and this is exactly what public health authorities have a warning against and why a prime minister su guys, chief adviser on cobra 19 was opposed to holding the olympics and insisted on no spectators. so hopefully they manage to contain this. but this is a bad sign as thousands of athletes are arriving this week and they'll be more than 50000 olympic related guests also arriving. and just as the delta variant is swirling around the globe, and the vaccination here is just 20 percent of a lot of things cannot be anticipated. we don't really know of and the that's the real problem. big question mark over at these olympic cents. why about 80 percent of the japanese people did not think it was

a good idea to go forward. and so the big worry here is that this might become a super spreader event. and hopefully it's not going to start the athletes village . and it would be a shame all these athletes been working so hard over the years to prepare themselves are now going to be, you know, living in the bubble and not even certain, if the bubble is safe. facebook says it shouldn't be blamed for the u. s. failing to meet its vaccine goals on saturday, president joe biden accused the social media giant of killing people by allowing miss information about corona virus vaccines. to circulate on its platform several states, and now dealing with another surgeon cases mostly among unvaccinated people. alan fisher reports from washington, d. c. nevada is a new hot spot. the state now has more than 750 people in hospital with covered more than 80 percent of those in intensive care are not vaccinated,

unvaccinated people going out with the city reopening and getting sick. and with some of these variance, it's passing much more efficiently. and people are getting much sicker the last year. the only panoramic we have is among the and that's our killer jewel bike and me fighting the pandemic. his number one priority in the white house. after seeing initial success, the numbers i know going in the wrong direction. this is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated. we are seeing outbreaks of cases in parts of the country that have low back the nation coverage because unvaccinated are at rest. a 3rd of the country is unvaccinated, and the issues become so highly politicized. there is a water among medical professionals that might not change in california. the number of new cases has brought back the mask mandate in los angeles county. i don't want to say that we do not want to go backwards. and in san francisco, they're not going to spot is telling people they must mask up their strongly

recommending it. why want everyone to be safe? so if they need to wear a master where a mass, but you know, without doors, i don't think a lot of people want to wear a mass. that's a big one, you know, on people they've gotten back to life without mosques ready to pick them up again. even as the situation puts more people in hospital across the united states, alan fisher, i'll just either washington, you case prime ministers urge the public to be cautious a day before cubs to control covered 19 or relaxed. or johnson and the finance minister are currently self isolating. after having contact with health secretary sizes javi was tested positive for corona virus. dining st now says they will not take part in a pilot study that allows people to work in their offices and only isolate when not their jobs. johnson backtracked, after the initial exemption sparked criticism from other m. p.

a few showers around the west side of saudi or in yemen. nothing much indicates for a month, for le, we'll have the how do you, which is the 3 months worth of overcast grizzly weather? occasionally the sun comes out and occasionally the thunder bangs mostly it's overcast, asked the temperatures elsewhere. they've come down just a little bit from 50 to about 48 in baghdad. q 8. the breeze is blowing. a dusty breeze curls in for it gets to the gulf water. so though house 13, i will continue to be a seasonally normal, humid $39.00. this little change by the time you get to choose day, very much the same, but just more showers potentially on the east and of among the monsoon winds becoming quite active every now and again as it runs up the coast of canyon somalia, increasing the cloud, producing showers via it also indicates that sees when we get big thunderstorm beneath european, through sassy, down and westwards. ah,

emphasize the tokyo olympic village on the saturday and olympic committee member who was also in the village was confirmed to have the virus. the pandemic delayed games are due to officially open on friday. south africa, the president has called for unity as he joined cleanup efforts in one of the cities hardest hit by looting and riots. sort of, i'm a poser promised a full review while visiting soto after more than a week of the worst violence since the apartheid era. more than 200 people were killed after protest against the jailing of former president and jacob's una evolved into anger over poverty. and unemployment, the chaos has caused more than a $1000000000.00 worth of damage. now, we need to know that my mom, mom,

mom and dad about his smith is joining us live from durban, bernard, to confident words there from the president. but of course, the underlying problems still remain. rob, yes, south africans today as opposed to be celebrating nelson mandela day, the birthday anniversary of the birth day of the country's 1st democratically elected leader. but many of them reckoning with the fall out of some of the worst writing and lucy looting this country themes in the end of whites minority rule. and that was pro provoked by the jailing of former president jacob zoom, but driven on by chronic inequality and poverty. when a party to end it almost 30 years ago,
