i the revealing eco friendly solution to come back threat to our planet on al jazeera, the. ready news killed in a busy market in the city a day before eve celebration. begin. ah, this is al jazeera life, none the host coming up. another major milestone for you as controversial mega. a 2nd phase of filling is completed despite opposition from nations downstream. released from guantanamo lucky nasa. heads home to morocco. first,

the chinese freed under president joe biden. i'm a cyber attack. we targeted hundreds of thousands of microsoft exchange service, the us and its allies playing groups back. why china? ah, i know dozens of people have been killed or injured in an explosion at a busy iraqi market. on the eve of an important religious holiday. a bomb went off in the crowded area in the city of the capital, baghdad, iraq comedians, reporting more than 30 people, died tuesday is the 1st official day of eden iraq. and many people were out shopping for the national hold in. when you more of that story, nation, interesting. if you open engineers working on africa's largest hydroelectric dam have reached a controversial milestone. the 2nd phase of filling the colossal reservoir behind

the ground, if you can, race on them, has been completed as a huge source of worry for neighboring egypt. and you're done. they argue that by manipulating the flow of the river. now if you, if you can deprive them of crucial fresh water, the country says it needs the dam to help its economy and people. catherine saw it has more for me, i just have a the minister for airy geisha has been teasing about the completion of the filling of the dom. and he said that it has stored enough water now to run to the top, binds to generate electricity in the coming months. it has res, regional tensions with both egypt and so down. worried about how this could impact their own water flows. we have had from the prime minister before saying that it does not intend to harm those downstream countries, but it's going to do whatever i can to protect that dumb and the processes going

forward. we have been speaking to your peers here, we're very passionate about this dumb. it is a matter of it is a project of national national pride. millions obviously opens up to 65 percent of up to 65000000 of them. that's half the population and not connected to the grid. they have been contributing money raising cents to woods, buying government bonds towards construction. all that done so many of those who are speaking to an industry that have been affected by frequent power. cars in villages where people have never seen electricity say that that eagerly waiting for the benefits of this. and they are eagerly waiting to see what's going to come out of it saying that they are hoping that it's going to get them out of poverty. in fact, one man told us that to him it's a matter of life and that they know about the tensions between the country. but they are saying that this really is going to propel the country forwards.

ah, watch house as it came to close the guantanamo bay prison. it follows the 1st prisoner release under the biden administration, abdullatif nasa, the 1st guantanamo detainees, freed under president biden, focused on the agents captured him in 2001, and he was sent to guantanamo the following year. he was accused of involvement with the taliban, but was never charged. 39 prisoners is still a facility. only 11 have been charged as close to our white house correspondent, kimberly how kit and kimberly a significant move to the bottom administration. presumably, one that they would have liked to see happening lataya there's no question that this has been a long time coming, mr. an a c, or a spent almost 2 decades in captivity at guantanamo bay. his lawyer is always maintained, that he is innocent of the allegations against him, and as

a result of his ordeal, this he says is a real stain on the united states. and there are many, even inside the biden administration that do not dispute that. in fact, as you noted, the bottom white house did recommend that mister the sir be released in 2016. but as the trumpet, ministration came in, all of that came to a halt. in fact, under donald trump, there was even discussion of expanding the prison population at guantanamo bay. but now with joe biden's return, the process of trying to see that prison emptied is back on track. and the white house press secretary says that this transfer is what the by ministration hopes will be the 1st of many more. take a listen. yes. our goal is to close one town of a this individual who we announced the transfer of the department of defense. and the transfer of had been, had started moving through the process during the obama biden administration and

was on pause for some period of time over the last 4 years. i don't have a timeline for you, as you know, there's a process. there are different layers of the process, but that remains our goal and we are considering all available avenues to responsibly transfer detainees. and of course, close guantanamo. now it is important to know that brock obama and of course his vice president at the time was joe biden. that administration had promised to close on time, obey on day one of that administration back in 2008. but what was quickly discovered was that it was pretty difficult to overcome a lot of the political and legal hurdles. and in fact, congress putting a lot of pushback as well, that's why we know this time around the, by the ministration, try to work with a little bit of less fanfare in order to avoid some of those same obstacles. experience when joe biden was back in the white house between 282020 or other

2016. and give me about the other people more than 30 still left in guantanamo. how long might they have to wait? well, what we're hearing from the white house is that they're working on it right now. as, as the white house press secretary discuss, some of them are eligible for transfer already. others are having their cases reviewed. and what we know if that's a pretty lengthy process, because not only does the state department have to work with other nations to see that they can be transferred somewhere. but this has to be approved by the department of defense and also has to be congress has to get notified about an every step of the way along the way. there are hurdles and add to that the attorneys for each of these individuals is also working to flag the fact that much of this is considered lawful. many of these people were abducted by the ca, went to black sites where they disappeared for years, only to reemerge at guantanamo. so there's the unconstitutionality of that and the sort of infringement on the international law as well. that is a great concern to many of these lawyers. so all of this is being argued,

it takes some time. but the word from the white house press secretary is the goal is to really see this completely close by the end of president biden's term, which is currently in in 2020 for. kimberly. ok. thank you very much indeed. noted states and several i say they're ready to take action against china for facilitating malicious cyber activity. including this year's hack of the microsoft exchange email server. they say groups protected by and aging were responsible, compromising tens of thousands of computers worldwide. it's one of a range of cyber threats. john is being blamed for, including ransomware attacks, with millions of dollars to the best of my knowledge. and i'm getting a report tomorrow morning on this detailing for my understanding is that the chinese government, not unlike the russian government, is not doing this themselves, but are protecting those who are doing and maybe even accommodating and being able

to do it. like hannah has more from washington dc. while it seems that president biden is attempting to leave himself some maneuvering room with regard to any potential action that will be taken against china. as happened earlier this year when russia was accused of packing, they were sanctions imposed at no suggestion as yet that sanctions are going to be imposed on china following these allegations. although the white house has just said that it was the right to take the action against china showed it proved necessary. but the u. s. insist that the chinese ministry of state security has been coordinating these attacks may be through outside hackers. as we heard from president biden there, but certainly under the control of the chinese ministry of states security. but what is significant about all of this is how big the alliance is in terms of basically naming and shaming china. you've got new zealand, australia, japan, nato,

b, e, u, old joining the u. s. protest against these actions. and this is the 1st time you had as an action on such a why the basis against china. and this though, is part of the president violence problem in that some of those allies would be reluctant to impose sanctions against china, given their massive reliance on china in many areas. so the president is attempting to walk a fine line here, keeping his alliance together. but at the same time, not allowing any of them to leave because the u. s. unilaterally imposed the sanctions that others don't agree with. to natural breaking news from iraq and the explosion that happened as a market of what had is in baghdad. first that what was the situation where you were now in the market. this is where the explosion happened. the attack that

killed and injured dozens of innocent civilians including women and children, re behind me not far from one where i'm standing now. the explosion happened hours ago and no security forces say that it is an explosive device. investigations are still under way and the government of prime minister most of our country has over the arrest again is the command of the police commander who is leading the security on it, patrolling the area. now, as you know, this is the eve, this is the eve of the evil of how to learn this piece of advice for muslims here and iraq and people who are just trying to get ready to celebrate their aid by coming to this market and try to shop for the aid. now, according to health, medical services, there are women and children among the victims. and as you know,

this attack comes less than 24 hours since the security forces. and i was at the pension of an high ranking leader. now, there is no organization has claimed responsibility for the attack yet, but we know that similar attacks carried out before. again, it's billions in similar market lake lake. these were carried out in the past by iso and given the fact that this attacks come only a few months ahead of the election so that this would also be read and terms of the political rivalry. and also could be this could be men to derail the elections, to undermine the current, the government of most of the me. and i could also send a message that the situation in iraq or in that in particular is not ready for elections. as i mentioned, the government has said that investigations are under way. and as you know,

this market, the people were just coming to shop for the aid. this is the eve of the aid of how the defeat of sacrifice. and now social media and pages affiliated with the government have been leading, have been posting videos of in the aftermath of the aftermath of the explosion where women and children, people, vendors were in at, was totally certified in a state of panic. now we're just waiting for the government to, to release the findings over and over the investigations could be in the common few hours. thank you very much. didn't who over the head with alicia the from back that thank you still to come on, i'm 0. i'm the across germany, as people who lost everything demand to know why they weren't warned earlier, from ancient tradition interrupted by a modern problem. a 2nd year pandemic means a streamlined had

ah hello there, it's a bit of a divided picture across europe, a weather wise over the next few days. within the hot, dry conditions persist across the west. but in the east it is a cooler wet picture and we've seen those devastating floods, supercross, southern areas of germany and into austria. while that rain has now ease and the clean up operation is on the way, you can see that weather system now pushing its way across the balcony. so we got some really wet weather on the way for bosnia and herzegovina for serbia as well as romania and into southern areas of ukraine to some really torrential downpours and funder storms. and as we go into wednesday, they're going to sweep their way across ukraine's, a kiev expecting to see some really heavy rain and into western parts of russia to the north. this things are looking

a lot cooler. we've got temperatures dipping down thanks to a northwesterly, wind blowing, and that's cross scandinavia and into northern parts of germany. but to the west of this, the hot and dry conditions continue. lots of sunshine coming through for france for the british child, we could see a storm or a shower, but there is no sunshine there. and of course, for spain, it's sizzling under that heat wave with plenty of sunshine to be enjoyed. similar story for portugal match whether 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 is like to be lebanese, and call us trailer home. once upon

a time and punishable on al jazeera oh, the a tough storage. rocky media is reporting more than 30 people, been killed and more injured in an explosion at a busy market in baghdad. of lost in the city is on the eve of a religious holiday. the 2nd phase of fitting the reservoir behind his grand. if your opinion, renee, saws them has been completed. it's causing concern in egypt and to dumb of a future war supplies. and yes, president barton's government has reached its 1st point of a detainee themes to close the prison. after letty's nasa has been held maybe 20

years was never charged. haiti's interim prime minister has agreed to step down ending the leadership battle that followed. the fascination of president driven and marie's coaches f told the washington post newspaper. but he and i had all he had met privately to resolve a dispute. 71 year old. he had been appointed by movies to be prime minister, but was not sworn in. he received backing from the international community to lead the country on the following developments from miami force and who's running the country. while it appears that our l on rate is now the man that will lead the interim government, we haven't had any confirmation yet, but the international community back this man shop. now, my week before he was assassinated, had appointed him, but not sworn him in. but i think for the people of haiti, who are extremely worried about security at this point in time for everyone to

coalesce around one person is probably the best thing they could hope for at this point. so what are l, henrique job is to do now? is form an interim government and go towards free and fair elections, which haven't really happened in haiti since 2017. that is a crucial thing to form the next government. but he for now certainly seems to be the man in charge. and what do we know about the investigation into the assassination of women? emily's while it's still very wide ranging, we're getting some more details about. 2 that, that morning is july the 7th, when job now my wife was making frantic phone calls to police officers and his security detail. and essentially no one came, came to his aid, and none of its security guards were injured which is begging lots of different questions about who was behind this. we're also hearing that anyone that was approaching the president would have to get through at least 5 different levels of security. so at the moment, at the haitian authorities, how about 18 to 20 colombians in custody. those are ex military soldiers that were

allegedly hired by the mastermind behind this, but they don't seem to be any closer to finding out who is the person behind the assassination of you know, movies. and again, thank you very much. indeed. indonesia has reported to a record number of current of our deaths in the past 24 hours. nearly 1400 people died due to the virus. but it's reporting the lowest number of new infections for nearly 2 weeks. and denise is also dealing with an oxygen shortage. on 1810 sailors on a south korean ship of tested positive for korean of ours. the biggest cluster, the country's military has seen 247 sailors on an anti piracy mission. the waters of africa are infected. it comes to south korea battles its worst ever outbreak was . 1200 new cases reported within the past 24 us united kingdom as recorded almost 40000 new cases of current of ours on the same day. almost all restrictions
