particularly those that play fast and loose with the humanitarian norms or democratic norms. and so the targeting of journalists cannot be justified by any people to national security, which is the usual alibi cited by, by government when they, when they tread on civil liberty. federal prosecutors in the u. s. has been banned from seizing the records of journalists while investigating leaks the decision by attorney general medic, garland versus a long standing policy and the justice department and follows an outcry over the trump administration. seizure of journalists records as part of investigations into national security. matter of all eligible jacobs him as a long running corruption trial has been adjourned until tuesday when the court will rule. if it can go ahead virtually a former south african president denies charges of fraud corruption and money

as it faces growing criticism over its fund preparations. the opposition says it failed to adequately warn citizens ahead of last week's flooding. more than 160 people died in germany alone. heavy rain was forecast, but the scale of the use took many by surprise. ministers had met lessons must be learned, but se federal institutions did their part. 4 bits of items that both 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. so the state of emergency is not declared and billing, but where it is taking place. and i don't write a report from one of the worst, hit tons and northern germany were here in the historic bar town of bod. moves that rifle. and the clean up operation is in full swing. we have vigor picking up all of

the debris that was stacked up and left behind from the rushing flood waters that have receded now. and we've seen half a dozen towns like this across this region. there's dozens of other gives you a sense of the scope of the damage that germany is dealing with and to get a better sense. just take a look around this town, which is famous in the summer for tourists coming to take part in and visiting the spies and shop and some of the high end stores and kind of traditional stores in this town. in northwestern germany, this main street was covered in cobblestones. most of them have been stripped away because of the flooding. you can see that the earth caved in more than a meter and some faces more than 2 meters. some of the to sort building are actually being propped up by steel polls. and when you walk around this street, you step on the asphalt. that was the foundation of the cobblestones above them in the asphalt is so weak. after being solved and water log, that it breaks under the weight when you walk around. so germany is just now coming

to terms with the billions of years of destruction. damage that it's going to have to somehow repair and rebuild in the coming months, if not years in button has recorded almost 40000 new cases of corona virus on the same day, almost all restrictions in england have been abolished. face mosques are no longer legally required, social distancing rules have been strapped in size limits and events have been removed. doctors are wanting that within weeks that could be a 100000 cases every day. 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. the lifting of cobra 19 restrictions the freedom day as its been cold comes as 50000 people in england test positive daily. one of the highest infection rates in the world,

and among the vulnerable even with the vaccine, wrote out 277 people died last week. there's a loss of 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 of people suffering from long have it sent to this country. but also just in the last 24 hours, we'll 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 to start thickness and 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 a fertile conditions for new variant mutations, leaving parents to worry about the ongoing risks. i want to give up the mosque and not know my children or my husband. we want we,

where the mosque. a majority of the public, according to opinion polls agree. it may not be law any longer to keep a social distance or where a mosque indoors. 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 ping means income. last stop shortage is holiday plans in ruins. oh, what a brighton note singing is back band since the start of the pandemic, which means the return of churchgoers and theater audiences. but as the prime minister knows, there is no freedom from the virus itself. is to proceed cautiously in the way that we are. also right to recognize that the damage is far from over.

both johnson and treasury secretary richey soon i have been forced to isolate because of close contact with a confirmed case. the 2 most senior members of the government then celebrating freedom day at home, showed a whole al jazeera london south. korea's military is recorded its biggest cluster of covered 1900 infections. 2 dates with more than 80 percent of personnel aboard a ship testing positive. $247.00 sellers on an anti piracy mission in waters of africa are infected. that comes to south korea bottles its worst ever outbreak with 1200 new cases. in the past 24 hours, restrictions have been extended across the country to curb the spread war brides in sol. with more than the south korean warship outbreak, 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 us aircraft carrier way back at the beginning of his pandemic march of last year. that

was similarly stricken in the pacific ocean war. ships are, 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 and it's no less alarming out of the 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 logistical problems in getting vaccines out to the ship. that may be true, but they certainly have much bigger the mystical 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 plains have taken out 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. indonesia reported a record number of corona virus deaths in the past 24 hours. really 1400 people have died due to the virus. but it's reporting the lowest number of new infections in a fortnight. it's battling an oxygen shortage and now has more daily infections in india. and brazil. thailand has expanded its locked down its corona, virus infections. they are rise. it's reported a 4th consecutive day of records, new cases. with more than 11000 infections. domestic fights are being suspended and more places are under curfew. people from high risk areas have been asked to stay at home. tony chang has more from bangkok. drove past the hospital to day where

there were cues outside the hospital, around the block of people waiting just to get tested. it's a real problem here. i think the government recognizes that they don't have the system. this situation under control. they're trying to increase the level of the locked and we're still not seeing the same level of lockdown. we saw this time last year when very strict missions were in place. but the tightening things up, this is the 2nd time in less than 7 days. they've increased the curfew, it's now no longer optional. people have to stay in doors between the hours of 9 pm and 4 am. more places of business are being close to being forced to shut again. that was voluntary last week when they put these measures in place flights out of the capital a being ben. this is regarded as a deep red zone in an area of really serious infection. and they want to stop people from moving in and out of bangkok toll. the problem is the government kind

of torn down in the south is trying to open up trying to get tourists back into pre kit and some movie. now the other holiday island that opened up with the sandbox scheme, but with everything that's going on in the rest of the country, it seems very unlikely that time will open up. the prime minister's hope was that it would happen on the 1st of october. i think at this stage that's very, very optimistic. well, the 180 wildfires a burning across siberia, the acute here region is one of the worst effectors. almost 2500 firefighters have been called into battle the blazes. laura burton manly reports uncontrollable blazes is consumed thousands of kilometers the siberian forests. as the trees burned to a cinder building smoke drifted towards the city and dozens more. towns in the quartier officials warned residence to shut windows and stay in doors to avoid

choking smoke. any good breath with our eyes are 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, so to 38 degrees celsius. if the highest ever recorded in the arctic circle. this map from nasa chosen read the early summer heat waves that has been scorching eastern russia and europe. the pilgrim 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 routes and trees creating a tinderbox in siberia. usually when the coldest regions on earth, the fires are consuming what was once permanently frozen ground. and the carbon

rich pete's below the scientists worry that this will release more carbon into the atmosphere and contribute to climate change. pull that to their proper situation with wildfires 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 with 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 anger amongst resident, by, by 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 northern manly out there and thousands of muslims have conversion month out of fact, the mecca for the 2nd day of the highs. this year's event is marked by the small number of pilgrims for the 2nd time to to covered 19 restrictions home involve, has more standing at mon, tara fat is considered at the high point of the 100 towards the. 6 day before known as a per year. she's a pretty grim gather at the minute valley to prepare for the climb. alfalfa is where they will stand for most of the day, addressing the sky without personal prayers. last year, at the 1st had since the corona violet pandemic strike, only $1000.00 people were allowed to attend law this year. that'll be

60000 all from, with saudi arabia. in previous years there would be more than $2000000.00 from around the world. sure. was she and when i realized that i'm one of any 60000 people doing this hard when i compare it to those who did it with the messenger of god. peace be upon him being more numerous than they were about $100000.00. i feel as part of a group have been privileged by being able to do this hodge ritual praise be to god . and i will head a little bit to the fact that god, the almighty has chosen us from these millions to be able to reach this holy sight . we take it as a sign that god willing our worship is accepted and our prayers were answered. ha, the contrast with how it looks now to a few years ago is stock. this was 2018. and this now, to this young man, now something uncanny about the place. second, but there's a sense of sakina of holy, silent and luminous bliss up here. it's

a bit cloudy up there and no one around here. by god, it's like i'm in a dream. can you? i don't know how to describe it really has the saudi authorities took unprecedented security safety measures that went beyond masks, vaccines and social distance thing. the so called unified security operations, 911, planned for the hud of 2021. included the host of procedures adopted for the 1st time. of course this year's pilgrimage is completely different and exceptional. no pilgrim connection, the holy site except through the 4 reception centers assigned by the ministry. also, pilgrims cannot enter any camp except through the smartgate. those attending to the age between 18 and 65 vaccinated and 3 of chronic diseases on tuesday, which coincides with the day of sacrifice. the pilgrims returned to mecca and the

mina valley for 3 more days. over $201.00, are you still had a knowledge? is it we're going to tell you why toyota is no longer interested in the limbic advertising. coming up with peter sport ah, brought to you by accenture, that there be change the use

with me duties by extension. that there be change? oh, a sport is peter. well, thank you very much just for days to go. and one of the biggest sponsors of the tokyo lympics has withdrawn all its tv commercials in japan, related to the games because of the biggest automaker, toyota will continue to support athletes associated with the company. but it c e. o

and other officials will not attend the opening ceremony on friday. it's largely due to the lack of public support for the olympics with poles suggesting 2 thirds of japanese people, doubts the games can be held safely in tokyo. earlier we spoke to simon chadwick. he's a professor of sport industry in the u. k. he believes 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 on 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 seemed to be associated with an event

that may alternately become known as a super spread or 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 he understands that it empathize isn't. and that it's not going to do anything to the, that he's detrimental to, to the tokyo population covered by the cases in the athletes. village were expected . that's according to the head of the tokyo independent panel of medical experts just 4 days ago i as the president thomas buffett, they will 0 chance of athletes infecting the japanese subject with corona virus. those words are not looking very safe right now. sunday to sell african football is with a face to face positive. and the total of games related infections now stands at $58.00. 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 there and get to the airport and they get

filtered. i dare then you get figured out when to get the village. each 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. they probably lower than we expected to see if anything. speaking of the, i see president bush has encouraged athletes and officials at the folk games to embrace the meaning and spirit of the limpid could truce. a mural was unveiled in the olympic village on monday with urging people to sign the panels to show their commitment in helping make a better and more peaceful world through sport. the olympic truce called for the laying down of alms across the world. and for fighting to stop by during the period of the games all it is possible for human to leave to these is our message. the olympics has shown that organizing

a big sporting event during the pandemic is clearly a huge challenge. and tough athletes to training with the possibility of their events being postponed or cancelled al jazeera is peter dobby, reports from the hall i, and then triathlon racing, loppy in finland, which involves a 1.9 kilometers, swim a 90 kilometer bike ride and a half marathon sleepy a back quarter, the chicago of the nordic countries, all those episodes were lottie all 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 town for the race director, this is not being easy. last year, when the pandemic hit, this race was postponed and then cancelled outright. we had good plans 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 communication with them, and of course we monitored the code to trace them 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 in the elastic bands for a while. but with training old on it's time to rack the bike panic, just a little bit more constant freight just a little bit more and then we'll just do it.

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 from a secure pointing. but how do you maintain that focus when the race might not happen? how to go like getting another goal and okay, well, it's very hard to cope and somebody needs help to coping it. for example, to go to sports hi colored this whole mental coach or, or if you have a friend to talk about because he's 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, for the traffic. has it been a success? yes, it absolutely has. these people trained, they retrained, 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. pete, adobe algebra era logic cinema. and finally, we've got something you really see on a tennis called frenchman. ben will pay is at the bottom of your screen. and he pretty remarkable backend volley at the swiss open. you put so much spin on the ball that quickly bounced back towards the other side of beneath pay one the match to move into the 2nd round. and that's what will leave us now. most, both nice coming up later. rob peter, thanks very much indeed. and laura carol is going to be here in

a couple of minutes with boar and all these stories. and of course, more details in the website. i'll just deal with dot com. i'm not buying ah, ah, ah ah, the stories that need to be told find away and demand to be heard, the opening the window into another light and challenging perception and personal endeavours in epic struggle with the colossal sacrifices in individual journey witness showcase it inspiring documentary the change the word

on al jazeera, each and every one of us has got a responsibility to change our personal space for the better. the way we could do this experiment, many of us could increase just a little bit that wouldn't be worth doing. anybody had any idea that it would become a magnet, is incredibly rough. they're asking women to get 50 percent representation in the constituent assembly here in getting this pickup, to collect the segregate, to say the reason this extremely important service they provide to the city. we need to take america to, to bring people together trying to deal with people who left behind

me on revealing eco friendly solutions to combat the threat to our planet. on al jazeera, the. ready news killed in a bigger market in the city a day before celebration begin. ah, this is alex here, a live london poster coming up. another major milestone for years controversial mega. a 2nd phase of filling is completed despite opposition from nations downstream. released from guantanamo lucky.
