now putting the turbines in what we call unit 10. we're installing the shots, you know, 10 south as soon as some important works completely. in a few months, it's all about connected to the trends. and this will provide the biggest outcome of the work, the people who are generating electric pounding in. but it is a controversial project that has raised regional tensions. so down in egypt who rely on the river nile for most needs, a worried about the impact to the old water flows, previous stocks, mediated by the african union to hammer out a binding agreement on operations of the dom. how field some analysts are concerned about the overall effect of the dam on the environment. this huge amount, which is almost more than 75 percent of the natural river flow, will have a great impact on the environment status by reducing even the flooding of the

manufacturers along the blue line and really unpacked the water level and the amount of demand and the life of fisheries on song many europeans are united behind the project. up to 65000000 of them are not connected to the electricity, greed, many europeans, they talk to a very passionate about the construction of the dumb. they from all walks of life raised money, which was the construction of the dumb. we went to villages where people have never had electricity, industries that have been affected by frequent power cars. and they told us that they eagerly waiting for the benefits of the dumb officials from sudan, egypt. and if you see there is no appetite for an outright water conflict and have expressed willingness to go back to talks, they're all in consensus that a binding legal document is needed on how what is to be the largest hydro electric todd in africa will be operated the problem has always been the beetle in that

agreement, catching. so i'll just 0. i'd be saba, if she don as a warning, its ability to grow food will be badly hit by the dam. with 20000000 people set to suffer as hipaa. morgan reports from again on the blue nile, most of them, of farmers with land along the river. normally around this time of the year i became his name's farm and to dance blue. now state near the border with if you appear has more fruits. but the farmer says the past year has been different than previous years, and he blamed it on changes in the blue nile river. just me through the way for governor upon me. we lost the hill to get from the river every year. the river comes from the european highlands carrying a lot of shield is good for a river irrigated farms because it changes the soil. but the past year has brought less so because of the renaissance dam storing water. and we don't know if we'll get it this year. i've been getting farm is one of hundreds of thousands of acres

in the state that lie along the banks of the blue nile and depend on the river for irrigation. but if you've been renaissance damn being built upstream on one of the 2 sources of the river is raising concerns. it's set to be africa, the largest hydro electric down upon completion. and a few p says it's a lift more than half of the population out of poverty. but in downstream sedan farmers fear it will reduce their productivity mohammed, most of us farm lies nearly 500 kilometers down the river near the suit. nice capital hard to me, he says even he has noted changes in the soil since the 1st filling of the european renaissance them. or later, the above or below the one, the effects that on sri them have been back for us. if there is no sailed, then there'll be no farming because we needed for the soil. last year there was very little felt and so we couldn't farm crops. and very farm the crops died because of size quality talks to reach a deal about the filling and operational bit dam have repeatedly failed. so dance has information sharing is critical during this process. so that government has

nearly 5000000 people suffered the impacts of before the filling of the few been renaissance them that was completed last year without an agreement. this year, the government says $20000000.00 people or have the population will be affected. that includes not only farmers along the nile, but millions of people who rely on the river for their water supply. that's because, unlike last year, when 4900000000 cubic meters of water was stored, the 2nd filling is expected to store 13500000000 cubic meters. those who rely on the mile for water are afraid of shortages. after last, the feeling created problems for somewhat the treatment plan, the renaissance, dams, environmental impact is also yet to be fully revealed. those who rely on the river for other means of livelihood. the changes in the past year have affected their trade off and then we rely on mud, silt, and water from the nile to make bricks the most important to sell because it's what keeps the materials together. otherwise, it's just a block of mud,

but still it has reduced since last july. that's been bricks of lower quality, which we have to sell cheaper. the 3rd phase of filling the renaissance dam is scheduled to happen next year. no new rounds of talk have been announced yet, but for many like i've been getting, the hope is that something is worked out before the changes to their farms become irreversible. he but morgan onto the ra, a by garr sudan, the rocks prime ministers meeting the top security officials following an explosion that a busy rocky market or the 30 people of leave to have died when a bomb went off in a crowded area of southern city. some of the capital 5 dad had is at the see where we're now in a little halo market. this is we're the explosion happened. the attack that killed and injured dozens of innocent civilians including women and children,

an iso high ranking leader. now, there is no organization has claimed responsibility with that tax yet, but we know that similar attacks carried out before. again, it's billions in similar market lately. these were carried out in the past by the white house says it's, i mean to close the guantanamo bay prison if i was the 1st prisoner release on the, from the facility on the president biden white house correspondent, kimberly how kit has most. he was held for almost 2 decades without charge at guantanamo bay detention facility in 2016 review panel recommended abdul la teeth monsieur b repatriated to his home country. but it didn't happen until this month. the 1st release says the us president joe biden took office this individual who we now it's a transfer of the part of the fence announced a transfer have 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, this year was captured by pakistani agents and held at guantanamo since 2002. the u . s. alleged he trained in a car to cabs and cooperated with the summer ban. lawton, who orchestrated the september 11th attacks and attorney for to sir said the charges were unjustified. add the suffering endured by his client. it's a stain on america. i know. following the 2001 attacks the guantanamo bay prison was created by president george bush to how's those captured by us forces following invasions of f, ganna stem and iraq. there were allegations of torture and abuse, and questions about the lawfulness of the military tribunals. at its height, within $700.00 men were held at the facility for years without char ghetto and its prisoners infamous orange jumpsuits became an international symbol of prolong

imprisonment. i'm absolutely committed to closing the tension facility at guantanamo, and then continue to make the case for doing so. as long as i hold this office, president obama pledge to close guantanamo throughout his 8 year term, but was never able to overcome the legal and political obstacles. and we're going to load it up with some bad dudes. believe me, we're going to load it up. in contrast, president trump signed an executive order was his office to keep the prison open. and this year is recommended release was stalled. until now, you're considering all available avenues to responsibly transfer the teenage and of course, close guantanamo day. 39 prisoners remain at guantanamo bay. prison, just 11, have been charged with war crimes. earlier this year, president biden said he was reviewing the future of the u. s. military prison, with the goal of completely closing it by 2020 for. kimberly health care al jazeera,

the white house, united states and several allies 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 basing were responsible, compromising tens of thousands of computers worldwide. it's one of a range of cyber threats. china is being blamed for, including ransomware tax worth millions of dollars for the rest 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 or protecting those who are doing it may be even accommodating and being able to do it. why cannot, has more from washington dc? well, it seems that president biden is attempting to leave himself some maneuvering wrong with regard to any potential action that will be taken against china. as happened

earlier this year, when russia was accused of packing, there were sanctions imposed. 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 is the right to take the action against china. should it prove 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, u, old joining, the us 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 us unilaterally impose the sanctions that others don't agree with. to come around to 0 anger across germany as people who lost everything demand to know why they weren't warned earlier. ah, flushing with freedom or dancing with danger, england relaxes almost all crew of ours restrictions. ah
