that we stepped away from the hot and dry janai description of the radium peninsula in the middle east generally. but it's coming back again. hot and dry is now a bit more standard. clearly there are showers in the full cost in the south as society in rest in yemen. and this edge of the monsoon stuff means the more showers or overcast condition seemed likely the seller. and once more, we got the shower growing in the ninety's, the eastern side of vermont. now they've been tremendous in the last few days and they stopped to gain a bit more in protest. but for the most part is halting drug $49.00. and by got about 14 q a, you could add or take away one or 2 degrees from this is cooler back and, and, and coast, with the onshore breeze dreams about 32, but the heat does extend elsewhere. i'm just overlaying that to give you an idea. can you see the high ground in iran, but up in stones and took manisha and ask her master can quite hot at 41 degrees. the showers continue to keep things a bit cooler in santa the still shower in some parts of a round, but it's still the heat. i think that is unsurprising. the main forecast is part of

the world. ask about i mentioned it's not record hot, but it's above the average is 37. the record as recorded july's 47, and you're creeping up towards there. but you get the escaping a wall. finding a new identity. confronting the reality of racism, religion and the struggle to be accepted, al jazeera, tells the story of what it's like to be lebanese, and color straightly at home. once upon a time and punish, go on al jazeera with energy and change came to every part or universe or

small to continue the change all around the shape by technology and human ingenuity. we can make it work for you and your business. ah ah ah, it was, you know, just reminder of our top story, this. the 2nd phase of fitting the controversial grand e c o p. and vanessa damn is complete the issues we've tensions with his neighbors, egypt and sudan. want

a binding deal over the filling and the dams operations. first, pantano bay prisoners released under the buys administration has been re partially aged to morocco. marks of brakes from the trumpet rep when transfers in negotiations were halted. the u. s. u. k and other allies are accusing china of engaging in malicious cyber activity in the heart of the microsoft exchange emails . earlier this year, it's one of a range of cyber threats to china's being blamed for, including ransomware attacks worth millions of dollars. the german government is on the defensive as it face is growing criticism over its floods. preparations. the opposition says it failed to adequately warn citizens of last week flooding more than 160 people died in germany alone. heavy rain was forecast, but the scale of the deluge took many by surprise. ministers admit lessons must be learned, but se federal institutions did their part. 4 bits of arms of the german with the

service, gives warnings of severe conditions and is supported by european institution. and these warnings passed on to the federal states and from the states flooding centers to the different regions. and they are the ones making the decisions when it comes to protection against environmental disasters. the state of emergency is not declared in berlin, but where it is taking place. i don't mean a lie for us in about months for life in germany, adam, we can see some of the damage behind you. and of course, the enormous digger that's doing some work they just took us through the clean up is like they're in a moment. will rob, it's immense. we've been our team and a half a dozen towns in the past 2 days and dozens, others look like this as well. you can see like you said, the digger taking all of the destroyed items out of this town. if you take a walk with me and just look at the scope of this destruction and think in your head of this being replicated across dozens of towns in this region,

you can see this towards town, this spot town behind the strip to its core several if not a couple of meters of earth just stripped away from the floods. we can see all of the infrastructure underground. we feed old buildings propped up by polls. busy we step on the asphalt here that lied and that was lying under the cobblestone streets and it crumbles under my weight. it just gives you a sense of the work that remains to be done. this is early stage of cleanup and recover effort as the water to now receded. and people have a big big task in front of them. and we're seeing volunteers coming from all over germany, helping people helping business owners and homeowners and residents get all of this debris out of their homes and businesses and get this clean up going by. it's going to take a long time. i do just mentioning a moment ago, the german government itself is being criticized for the way that it's reacted or

it failed to prepare enough. that's the allegation. how is the government reacting to the current situation while they're reacting by promising to greenlight billions of dollars? first hundreds in the relief and billions and infrastructure rebuilding people speaking to in town like this one say they're going to need it because they're already worried that their insurance company is going to lead them have dry and they're not going to be able to be made whole by them. now, whether or not the government is going to make good on those promises is, is not clear because the true extent of the damage is only coming to light. now because as i said, this is just one town among doesn't in this region and costs are just going to keep going up. if people keep clearing up the degree and they see just how much damage is what's on the ground here. rob gets out really bringing us up to date on the clean up operation in bad months. the rifle in germany. adam, thanks very much indeed. more than 180 wildfires, a burning across siberia,

that could you could you region is one of the worst affected almost 2500 firefighters. i've been called into battle the blazes or fires in the region to happen every summer this year. it's been more intense of partly because of record high temperatures a lot. pennington's, a senior scientist at the european center for medium range weather forecasts. he's joining us now from reading in the u. k. thank you very much indeed for being with us. what is the difference between what we're seeing this time around as opposed to previous wildfires? while he mentioned in the summer period, we would expect the forest fires in the boil for us and russia as well as in north america. what we've seen so far around doc future particularly close to codes is a very large area affected my number of wildfires. i've been going since the middle of june, none quite persistently, a high volume in terms of estimated total carbon emissions from the 1st up until

yesterday. the values of already comparable to what we would see for full summer in recent years from the 1st of june to july to be really high scale. i was reading that upon the neglect to fire safety rules is also playing a role in this. it must be, i would imagine, very difficult to enforce those rules given the scale of the area that of seberio itself. we don't have dates on that, but i would agree that the very best area, tens of thousands of square kilometer, some of the areas must be quite remote. and so deploying resources then enforcing any laws must be very tricky. but what he said, in terms of the dryness and the heat, some that flood elliptical, like all the readiness of the vegetation, been the ones, there's an admission, it's very hard to control as well. what do you think this is going to have?

what kind of impact do you think this is going to have on the environment within the area itself? i don't know how familiar you are with that particular location, but one would imagine if it's subject to regular wildfires, there must be presumably a greater degree of plant growth which immediately presumably gets wiped out by the next range of 5 wildfires. and that is going to have a long term effect. i would imagine the number of consequences in the capacity consignments near the amounting service. we've been monitoring fires in that parts of russia during the summer months or 5 years. direct impact is in terms of the quality, the by the producing huge amount, the smoke, some of it is being transported back from the region, but in itself it's really degrading and call it p very to be a level so that's the direct impact. but you're right, there will be a change in the dough taste,

it will change how much can reflect solar radiation deposition of so it can also change the properties of vegetation, but also could lead to virtualization and re grove all the mall plant material. but again, it's not the data that we have from a longer term process, and i'm sure that we plan these implant lines of research which looked into the kind of activity. could you get your thoughts on this? mark parrington, thank you for being with us. and i'll just hear thank you. haiti's interim prime ministers agreed to step done, ending a leadership battle that ensued since the assassination of president of it was it. so joseph told the washington post newspaper that he and henry had met privately to resolve the dispute was talk to andy gallagher in miami. so who's running in the country at the moment? while overseas, since the fascination of jeff now movies on july,

the 7th for has been this battle between these 2 prime ministers. but it now seems to have been settled in our l on re will now take over claud. josie had assumed that role which cause a lot of confusion in the country that really needs to be a member. i think the deciding factor in all this is that a core group of international countries back to r l on rate. now that may bring some sol as to the people of haiti, or in a very precarious situation since the assassination of jeff. no worries, but we're still waiting for free and fair elections because remember, but we had stayed in office a year after he showed up because they couldn't get elections up and running. that's really what needs to happen. the date for that is late in the fall. perhaps september, but again, all the elections i've seen there over the past few years have been very problematic, but at least this is potentially for those in haiti, worried about their own security, a step in the right direction. and is there any more information coming about? but what actually happened on the day of the killing?

yeah, we have have some reports that are in the early hours of wednesday morning on july, the 7th. you have now, maurice was desperately making phone calls to various different police officials asking for help. we're also getting. 3 some reporting that anyone that was making their way towards, you know, marie says house on the outskirts support a prince would have to go through a few layers of security to actually make it to his house. so that once again raises the question of who was involved, who is the mastermind behind this attack? and we still don't know that answer. but we do know that none of its security officials were harmed and not assassination attempt, which really begs the question. who knew about this, who knew what was going to happen? and why would they involved at the moment? there are a couple of key figures, but that seems to change on a daily basis. so that the investigation to find out who was behind the assassination of jeff. now my lease is still ongoing. its cost a very wide net. at the moment there was something like 18 former military people

from columbia involved, but who is behind the attack? why they carried it out still seems to be on know, and thanks very much. and he got in miami. burton has recorded almost 40000 new cases of corona virus on the same day, almost always restrictions in england have been abolished. faced mosques are no longer legally required. social distancing rules have been scrapped, and size limits and events have been removed. doctors are wanting that could be a 100000 cases a day in weeks. john hall reports from london. how many young people this was the ultimate expression of freedom. nightclubs, roaring back to life in the early hours of monday morning with the lifting of cobra 19 restrictions. well, i definitely feel free to leave that things are going back to normal. it feels like is, but it still is a little bit apprehensive. like, yeah, i don't feel like it's great for many freedom could prove short lived every day. now, around 50000 people in england test positive one of the highest infection rates in

the world, and among the vulnerable despite the vaccine, wrote out 277 people died last week. this last is concerning information coming out, which shows rising cost supplies, ations in the u. k. rising case, number's the attendant consent of the writing number, the people suffering from long symptoms in this country. but also just in the last 24 hours will say we're starting to hear from dr. is that and it just services starting to have clinic services cancel because at the high rate the staff thickness isolation that's needing to happen. the government strategy to allow the virus to spread among the young means more than 800000 school children were sent into isolation at home last week. scientists have warned the fertile conditions for new variant mutations, leaving parents to worry about the ongoing risks. i want to give up the mask and not know my children or my husband. we want we,

we wear the mosque. a majority of the public, according to opinion polls agree. it may not be law any longer to keep a social dis dense or wear a mask in doors. but most people don't feel confident enough to dispense with them altogether. and this, the national health service app pinging away incessantly telling hundreds of thousands of people to self isolate each week. because a close contact has tested positive and each paying means income. last stop shortage is holiday planned in ruins. on a brighter note, singing is back band since the start of the pandemic, and the chorus of full throated approval for that, it means the return of church congregations and theater audiences. but as the prime minister knows best, there is no freedom from the virus itself. i've been thing i've been asked to, so if i state by the test created isolate system after i be in contact with

somebody who has kaylee. in this case, of course, the health secretary said your job it. both johnson and treasury secretary richey soon aqua pinged the 2 most senior members of the government, celebrating freedom day in isolation. at home journal al jazeera london south korea's military is recorded, its biggest cluster of covered 900 infections to dates with more than 80 percent of personnel. aboard a ship tested positive $247.00 sailors, and an anti piracy mission. and waters of africa are infected and comes to south korea battles its worst over i baked with 1200 new cases in the past 24 hours. restrictions have been extended across the country to curb the spread, but mcbride's and so was more on the south korean wash about break. it is a very alarming outbreak, given the fact that this did seem to spread through the entire ship's company in the matter of just a few days. it is rather reminiscent of the outbreak of the court to the u. s.

aircraft carrier way back at the beginning of his pandemic march of last year that was similarly stricken in the pacific ocean war. ships we know are incredibly vulnerable, confined spaces, especially below decks with very little chance for large crews to socially distance . this is a much smaller ship, but it's no less alarming out of a crew of some $3247.00 testing positive. this said destroyer is part of south korea is contribution to the anti piracy task force of the east coast of africa. it still had another month of its deployment to run, but that has now been premier surely cut short as questions are being asked here is have career about given the vulnerability, why hadn't the crew been vaccinated now the military have come under a lot of scrutiny and they have said that there were the gist tickle problems in getting vaccines out to the ship. that may be true, but they certainly have much bigger the testicle problems. now they have

a stricken vessel and a sick crew. and the solution to it is by no means easy as they have sent from south korea to military craft to bring the entire crew back here to south korea. those same planes have taken at a replacement crew, a reduced crew of a $150.00 sailors whose job it is now to bring this ill fated vessel back to south korea waters. still ahead and i'll just find peter, they'll be here in lottie in central finland. we've come here with a question. can international top flight for survive? the corona, virus global pandemic. find out the answer to that a little later here on out of the a brought to you by accenture. let there be change the

news with me duties by extension. that there be change? oh.

a father the sport his peter. thank you very much, rob. just 4 days to go. and one of the biggest sponsors of the tokyo olympics, us withdrawn all the tv commercials in japan, related to the games. because his biggest, also make a toyota, will continue to support athletes associated with the company. but ceo and other officials will not attend the opening ceremony on friday. so the due to the lack of public support for the olympics with poll, suggesting 2 thirds of japanese people doubt the games can be held safely and took care. earlier we spoke to simon chadwick, he's a professor of sport industry in the u. k. he believe the toyota made the move to show solidarity with the japanese people. we already know that there is a great deal of public resistance to the olympics. and

a poll polls continue to suggest that people don't want the olympics to be there. so i think it's a direct response to that from the part of toyota. toyota is actually a global sponsor and so much of toyota's promotional activity act activation as we would call it marketing terms, is going to take place outside japan. anyway, i think really for me, it's the symbolism of what's happened inside japan. that's going to be more significant because i think if toyota was seen to be associated with an event that may alternately become known as a super spreader events that wouldn't play well with the japanese public. so i think what toyota is doing is to send a signal to, to the japanese public that i understand that it empathize isn't, and that it's not going to do anything to the that is detrimental to, to the tokyo population. a backup female gymnast on the u. s. t must have a positive cove at 19 outside tokyo, and there's been another case inside the olympic village as well. check beach volleyball player andre petrosage on the right here is now likely to mrs. opening

match. if you live in cases of coven one inside the village so far, but the games medical experts don't seem too concerned. it is expected that as we go through the different layers of filtering, we see cases coming out. so we see cases currently who been tested before, departure, who are not coming. we see people who get then get to the airport and they get filtered out there. then you get further that when you get to village h layer of filtering, as a reduction in the risk for everybody else. and that's what we expect to see. and the numbers we're seeing are actually extremely low and probably lower than we expected to see if anything. the main usa basketball team are heading to tokyo later on monday, after a less than ideal pre games, warm up, the 3. so i'm defending gold middle is how they last exhibition game on sunday. that was a victory against spain. i mean 9 members of the us team will travel with the remaining 3 still playing in the n b a finals. the seen has only been together to week and one just to of

a full exhibition games. and after these exhibition games, that's what we look for. getting better at both ends of the court. learning how to play with each other because these guys are never played together before and i think we're on the right track in that regard. so that's, that's what i feel good about. the olympics says showing that organizing a big sporting event during the pandemic. it's clearly a huge challenge and tough athletes to training with the possibility of their events being postponed or canceled. l 0 p to do all the reports from the half i, and then triathlon race. in last, the finland. sleepy a back quarter. the chicago of the nordic countries, all those epithets were lottie wrong. until recently, however, about the most exciting thing to do was practice your winter ski jumping skills during the summer on

a really long piece of competing. and then triumph long came to term for the race director. this has not been easy. last year, when the pandemic hit, this race was postponed and then cancelled outright. we had a good plan from our own organization and we had to really good communication and relationship with all the local, local, and health authorities. so we had a constant communications with them, and we of course, we monitored the co we to theresa since the athletes to it's not been an easy journey either they've had to adopt and adapt to the new normal. and if you can't swim in water to train, well, you improvise, can we do a new? i'm also in france, we haven't had swimming pools, they have all been closed. so i have been training swimming the elastic bands for a while. but with training old on it's time to rack the bike panic just

a little bit more concentrate just a little bit more and then we'll just do it 3. 1, go see the competing at this level is no easy task. this is not a 5 k park run on a saturday morning. these people unnaturally competitive. the very competitive, but what do they do if they can't compete? also my coverage, you're pointing. but how do you maintain that focus when the race might not happen? how to cope. it's like getting another goal and ok, well, it's very hard to cope and somebody needs help to coping it. for example, to go to sports. i call it this whole mental coach or, or if you have

a friend to talk about because it is very hard. but the real test for everyone here was the possibility of coping transmission. according to the race director's office, the number of new cases associated with this event 0. and that's a huge success story. and then before you know it's, it's all over no more swimming, no more cycling, no more running for the race organizer. has it been a success? yes, but traveling. has it been a success? yes, it absolutely has. these people train, they re train, they plan, they re plan, and they got here despite corona virus. and despite the impact of all the international travel restrictions that we all now have to live with, this is the new normal, can international sport survive? corona virus, based on what we've seen here today. absolutely. peter, they'll be out there at laci. uh huh. louis hamilton has been targeted by racist abuse on line off is controversial when the british grand prix. the 7 time

champion cost of the chevy to meet him at the stop and the crash out of the rates on the opening lap and getting sick and penalty still managed to fight back from full place to claim the victory if one governing bodies and hamilton you say you seem have condemned the race of abuse to golf in column or recall was is it's hard to cross spoke to winning the open championship. 24 year old american was playing in the tournament for the 1st time. one by 2 shots. they had a fellow american jordan speith is mark our 2nd major 1st winning on his debut in the pga chamber job last year. he now moved to number 3 and will make his next appearance at the olympics. so at 24, it's so hard to look back at the, the short 2 years that i've been a pro and see what i've done because i want more, you know, it's, it's so early on and i enjoy these moments and i love it. and i think i need to teach myself to embrace it a little more. that's what was for, for now, i'll be here again with more a little bit later. rob peter,

thank you very much indeed. and that is it for me? robotics and for this news or i'm going to be back in a moment. the more of today's use, including more on the 2nd phase of the filling of a controversial ground. you feel can nations down that feeling is complete, but there are still tensions in the region. we'll have more of that in a moment. i'm not a news news. news. news. news. the story that need to be tow. find away and demand to be heard. the opening the window into another light and challenging perception
