me ah me more than $240.00 south korean. so the sailors on an anti piracy mission of east africa as opposed to create a virus? is that country code a search in? ah, i remember on call this life and also coming up the german chancellor visits the area struck by catastrophic floods with more than 100 people debt and many still missing. on the release of prisoners, it remains an obstacle in talk,

seeing the african government and the telephone in the home and international journalism investigation finds is israeli spyware. pack the phones of hundreds of jernace and political figures worldwide turned in $47.00 south korean sailors on an anti piracy mission in waters of africa, of tested, posted for covered luncheon. the naval ship 1st reported 6 cases last week, and now it's become south korea is largest outbreak among service members. now the country has recorded 1200 new cases on sunday. restrictions have been extended across the country, the curb to spread. let's get more on this from rob mcbride, who's life for us in sol? rob, i think that's the 1st time i've ever mentioned pirates and coven 19. but to be serious,

korea is struggling a little isn't. that's right, i mean, this outbreak, it really is quite alarming, especially the speed of it. literally, the whole vessel seemed to have been overwhelmed in the space of a matter of a few days. we know, of course, that war ships are incredibly prone to the corona virus. we have when you have a crew of lots of people living in a very confined space in a warship with very little chance to isolate. then we have seen these outbreaks before, very early on in the pan demik in march of last year, which seems like a long time ago now. they really had the case of the theodore roosevelt's the big us aircraft carrier that was stricken by the corona virus. more than a 1000 cases very quickly at the ship, having to divert to guam at the western pacific. this time we're talking about a much smaller vessel, and this is mun move. great. it is called it is

a destroyer and it is south korea contribution to the anti piracy task force of the east coast, but to no less alarming for the speed of the spread out of a crew of around 30247. have now tested positive the solution to this is the authorities here are scrambling to get to military croft out there to bring the whole crew back to south korea at the same time delivering a replacement crew or reduced reduced crew around a $150.00 whose job it will be basically to take over this vessel and bring it back to south korea. but this hasn't been a surprise for south korea. every time we speak, rob starts with you, but with other correspondence as well, you get the feeling that yes, there was a point where countries were able to deal with the code 19 crisis. and then suddenly something happened. and they weren't able to do that again. south korea seems to have gone exactly the same way, right? it is dealing with this massive 4th wave here of, of cases which is

a concern. and the latest figures, again, bear out the fact that there is still very much in the grip of this wave sundays figures were slightly reduced because of course, there's a dip and the number of tests done over the weekend. but still, the number of new cases being recorded here is well above a 1000 that it has remained like that for nearly 2 weeks. the good news for the authorities is that because more and more of the population, especially the vulnerable populations here are getting vaccinated. then it's not being accompanied by the same kind of numbers of hospitalizations or death, but it is still of concern, especially as around a 3rd of the new cases are this new delta variants which is far more transmissible . so we are seeing an extension of the restrictions that have been put in place in the greater sol metropolitan area. it counts for around half the country's population. we have the highest level, it is set that level for that same level is now been imposed on parts of the

countries east coast as people head off to various result locations to go on vacation. it means for example, in the evenings that can be no gatherings of people outside of more than 2 people. but tighter restrictions are also being put in place in the provincial parts of south korea. where basically, the groups of people are not allowed to gathering in groups of greater than 4, as again we're seeing a spike in numbers outside of the metropolitan areas. rob, always great to talk to you. that is robert ride live there from sol. thank you. now people in vietnam's. busy capital hanoi had been ordered to stay home from monday as new clusters of krona virus spread. unofficial services have been stopped including public transport to southern provinces. 3 quarters of recent infections have been detected in the south, including whom human city. the health ministry has sent ventilators and thousands of workers to hard hit areas. german chancellor,

indoor. after 2 days of negotiating, the taliban and the gun government side being led by doctor de la de la, have come to a joint declaration where they have agreed that there is going to be a speeding up of this negotiation process. we started back in september last year, the agree that the they are going to make efforts to try and resolve the differences amongst them. and they're going to try and reach an agreement on how to improve the situation on the ground in afghanistan, especially when it comes to the covered crisis. the i've gone side was led by dr. de la de la, who tanked his company host and said that he's hopeful that these talks are going to be able to be forward. but while these positive sentiments were being discussed, there was also the disagreements that were, that we saw between the taliban and the other side when it came to the issue of thousands of taliban prisoners, which according to their agreement with the united states, were supposed to be released sanctions list from the united nations. the name was supposed to be removed and they were supposed to get a,

a government which according to them is going to be inclusive and is going to be representing a wide spectrum of, of the sun. but that seem still not have happened. it is not included in the joint declaration, but both sides say that they've made progress towards trying to reach a solution the understand each other. and this is something which of the taliban side alluded to as well. optimists will say that this is a positive development that they have agreed on a joint declaration. but other side of people who don't see it as rosy as others would predict. see that the taliban or the other side are dragging their feet since september. the stalks have not yielded any positive results. there has been no real impact. there has been no real cease fires. no deduction in violence on the ground in advanced on the battlefield, continues to heat up as talks continue in the turn. listen, india this, that kashmir have held a vigil for indian photojournalist killed in afghanistan. donna city,

he was killed on friday while embedded with africa and special forces. the pulitzer prize winning journalist is working with the reuters news agency caught in the crossfire between taliban and african troops, and the border with pockets on phones belonging to hundreds of journalists, activists, and politicians. i've been hacked by governments using spyware, owned by the israeli surveillance company, and f o group. that's according to the latest investigation conducted by 16 media outlets. the investigators say they obtained a list of 50000 numbers targeted by the spyware pegasus. at least 600 politicians, 85 human rights activists, and almost 200 journalist from 50 countries have been effected. reporters working for international news organizations such as the associated press, new york times bloomberg and al jazeera have been talking to targeted since 2016. and as i initially said, the software it would only be used as by on terrorists and major criminals. now,

the israeli firm has called the investigations, finding exaggerated and baseless bellmarks is a senior research fellow citizen that he explains why spyware is becoming ever more aggressive. originally, when we started studying pegasus in 2016, a target would have to click on a link sent to via s m s. in order to facilitate the infraction of the phone. if you didn't click on the link, the phone wouldn't get infected and wouldn't be able to be monitored. but around 2017 or 2018 in a so group appears to have released a major update to the pegasus system, which allows governments to hack into phones with a so called 0 click technique. this means the target does not need to click on anything. they don't need to take any action. their phone could be sitting on a table one minute, it's fine. the next minute attacked. and once attacked, the government can access everything on the phone. they can get messages,

they can turn on the microphone and listening to conversations happening near the telephone. they can take pictures to the camera. they can take passwords, contacts, track gps location. basically, anything you can do as the owner of the phone, or you can see the operator of the spyware can do or see a major hub for this technology is israel. so v israeli government has for many years, encouraged the development of a local cyber industry including companies like n s a group, as well as other companies that sell similar tools like candy room, which we published investigation on last week. and this whole ecosystem of companies. it's not just like there's one bad apple company that selling to repressive governments who are then using, using it against journalists. it's a systemic problem with the whole industry. and i think there needs to be regulation and action from the israeli ministry. defense news, really government as well as governments around the world, but most prominently in israel. there needs to be action by the government to bring

the entire industry under greater control. still ahead on our desert me patients receive that 1st 19 jobs. we look at nations and vaccination efforts a might. let's move hundreds of firefighters bottled ablaze as a wildfire spread across versus liberia. ah, now the shares in the midwest, the great lakes have been big recently. they're all moving off shore eventually, and it'll cool things down at relatively speaking in d. c. in new york. it's a slow moving system that it'll wander around the southern face, giving you more and more showers, but not giants. i don't think further west of this is big anti cycling. it's still hot and it's dry. of course you knows farseason, there's still

a big foreign southern oregon. the bootleg far. and they don't think they're gonna have it properly in the control until november. so this is nasty stuff and that's, that's oregon. we haven't considered california yet where they're still fires burning. so that continues and possibly gets worse, because he's small blue dots here are a hint of, we've had him moisture coming up in the south west monsoon and the devastates. it might well run right up through the rockies and produced thunderstorms that might stop more fires. but away from that proper showers, thunderstorms in the southern states and living study says, focusing eventually on texas, and may be through his young sample that we've got pretty standard set up and is particularly, went around the yucatan. i think in this mexico and sydney costa rica, there are frequent daddy showers throughout the islands of the caribbean. the

millions across this country. i was interested in going maybe university's way, but i put in a 40 because it's too much. i couldn't afford it, but i was so interested in being something having some profession. but i can during daughter says she's not got the right connections to get a job. as said ben z through, we'll see we're not working because those who are in higher positions, they only look after their friends or their family. so it's not going to be easy to our kids to get jobs because we don't know people in high places and that's in the world bank says that south africa is now the most unequal society in the world. the top 10 percent earnest take home 65 percent of the income white people still more likely to find work and better paid work than that black counterpart. widespread

writing and looting that sweat through parts of south africa last week was sparked by the jailing of former president jacob zoom. but it was chronic poverty and unemployment. the spurred on the violence, the poorest have been the main victims. more people are now jobless, after the destruction of shops, warehouses and factories. totally, totally surprising. take mister back on the way. not prepaid at all. i mean, there's a need because obviously there's no jobs. people are hungry, no money to buy food because money can get doreen would at least like her grandchildren to have a fair chance. the future i wish for them is to get the best education they can get. but i don't see that happens in this world. we're living in now that growing up in a country where half the population lives below the poverty line, bernard smith,

a month before the election. and haiti started vaccinating its population against coven 19 the last country in the americas to do so. the un delivered half a 1000000 doses the country. and it comes as it grapples with multiple crisis following the assassination of its present jovan out loyce. earlier this month, telling charlotte reports i, martine luis has returned to haiti after receiving treatment in the united states for wound sustained during the assassination of her husband, president juvenile and more you, earlier this month, the into him prime minister claude chose f metter at the airport it's still not clear whether he'll continue to run the country or who did the killing way, but this easy, they cannot, the stabilize me. the plot is very big. there are many people involved. do not create confusion about the clues. if you want, let them assassinate me or continue the investigation until its conclusion. more

than 20 colombian mercenaries allegedly carried out the killing, most of whom were captured, 3 were killed. and it's just that a lot. we figured out those in this integrated work, there is very important data in terms of how the homicide was carried out and confirmed that the initial meetings were held in miami, between people who worked for the c t u security service. columbia investigators point the finger a former haitian government official. felix by the or who's whereabouts are known. one of the few certainties in another wise confused picture is at the funeral for the former president will take place on thursday in the northern city of cap at the n, the assassination came off 2 weeks of rising, gang violence fed by poverty and political corruption exacerbated by the coven, 19 pandemic. united nations last week delivered the 1st half a 1000000 doses. haiti could finally begin it's vaccination program bomb. i don't

know. yes. i see that we have started. well, we have made awareness, work with the staff and went to the clinics to explain what the disease is and how to protect patients against it. officials have warned that the figure of less than $500.00 dead and 190-0000 infected is probably under reported and inoculating haiti's $11000000.00 population will be an uphill struggle issue to us. of course, do you see what's going on in the markets? if everyone goes to the public market sitting next to each other, it will be the end of haiti. i think that we should vaccinate everyone. but until that can happen, others are taking tentative measures like the 3 day annual pilgrimage. the bait in the sacred waters at the shrine of one of haiti's most with the same lady of mount carmel and shambler, which is 0. the world's largest all producing nations of region agreement on boosting production of the rift between 2 key members threatened to stool efforts.

opec nations cut all production by almost 10000000 barrels a day. the start of the pandemic when demand plummeted. as the global economy started to recover, the block gradually restored output by almost 50 percent. but negotiations on a deal to further increase output, expose the division between the u a and saudi arabia. now a compromise, giving the u. e and others, i higher production quota has paved the way for the late to still opec. we'll begin, further easing, cuts from august. cornelia is an oil and gas list, as well as the ceo of mayor resource. she says, amongst those who will benefit from the dealer, saudi arabia, russia and iraq. but not the you eat what i think the big way nathan, to steal is basically both producers and the consumers. because what we had up to now is we didn't know whether we would get this, you know, gradual using off of,

of production cops. and the market is kind of under supply to the tune of 2000000 barrels a day. and you know, the economy starting to power ahead. so this was, was very, very tough to touch and go because we didn't know will on get no one get no further increases. and if there are no further increases will discipline amongst the $23.00 opec plus members go out of the water, at which point, obviously we would have had to rate race to the bottom. so now we know we have predictability in uncertain times. we know the agreement will go to the end of next year. we also know that they will, you know, get, they will release $100000.00 barrels a day every month. obviously, will be reviewed every month. because given the pandemic, you never know what happens next. the u. a got about half of what they wanted in terms of having their did the, the,

the level raced the baseline waste from which you calculate the and the cuts. but both, both saudi and russia got 500000 barrels a day so they could update. but that's to ask that the iraq and for iraq, this is actually very good. venice is at risk of being put on the unesco list of endangered sites. it's lee had hopes, a recent ban on large cruise ships from entering the city's waterways might have been enough to save it from the list. but the world heritage committee says the lagoon is still a risk of climate change. flooding and heavy rains. mullner 180. while fi is a burning across siberia, that you can see the region is one of the worst effected. almost 25055 has been cold into battle the blazes. now the fires in the region happen every summer, but this year it's been more intense to unusually high temperatures. lower burden mannered ripples uncontrollable blazes is consumed thousands of

kilometers the siberian forests. as the trees burned to ascend, billowing smoke drifted towards the city and dozens more towns, inequities. officials warned residents to shut the windows and stay in doors to avoid the choking smoke. with our eyes a burning and over all the smoke is very dangerous for the health of us villages. we see on television plains that are dropping water on the burning forest. but i am sending these plains to help us for some reason. yet katia has been in the state of emergency for weeks last month, the temperature saw to 38 degrees celsius. if the highest ever recorded in the arctic circle. this is not from nasa shows in red, the early summer heat waves that has been scorching eastern russia and europe. the figure says that's okay. it's all because of the drought for the 3rd year straight

. we aren't getting the copious amount of rain that we used to get. the heat wave is sucking moisture of roots and trees creating a tinderbox in siberia. usually one of the coldest regions on earth, the fires are consuming what was once permanently frozen ground. and the carbon rich pete's below. scientists worried that this will really small carbon into the atmosphere and contribute to climate change. the parameters probably kill the situation with wild fires in our republic. it's very difficult because we are experiencing the trial summers in the past 150 years. and you could hear on the month of june was the hospital records, the russian military is flowing in fi. fi has more than 2500 a battling the flames. the weather is exacerbating the problem. if not for the strong winds, we could do it faster. what you see,

how strong the winds are. that's our biggest problems right now. passenger flights . you could have been suspended now military playing to taking to the skies to douse the flames. but these fires are also igniting under a month resident by boat bottom, many se moscow hasn't acted fast enough or sent enough resources. people already feel isolated from the kremlin, which is almost 5000 kilometers away. now they feel abandoned to lower that monthly out there. and ah, yeah, and these are the top stories. $247.00 south korean sailors on an anti piracy mission and was, is off africa, have tested positive for coven 19. it's now become south korea's largest outbreak among service members. meanwhile, the country has recorded one.
