me ah ah well holy man, how me lo, worshippers mark the muslim holiday. all players are in the wrong to do was rocket fire hits various parts of the gun capital comp ah, come over, i'm have them are here, and this is al jazeera life and also coming on the side. but war heats up,

china cabin cleaves denies. if behind any hacking of western software companies, finally a when after 6 weeks in limbo, roof has a new president the race to the edge of space, the world's richest man gets ready for loans. as the space tourism industry gathers pace. ah. the taliban has claimed responsibility for 3 rockets attacks in the afghan capital kabul. i love holy. how me? lo well, they could be heard as afghan president, sasha connie was leaving either i'd have prayers at the presidential palace. one hits near campbell's most popular mosque, another behind its biggest shopping mall,

and a thirds near the ministry of foreign affairs have been no reports of injuries so far. let's get more from our diplomatic adds to james bass, joins us from cobble. james, these rockets attacks come at a particularly critical time in afghanistan. where do we know what this stage? is it likely to impact the ongoing peace negotiations between the african governments and the taliban. what a senior taliban official is told al jazeera, that the taliban, we're responsible for these rocket attacks, which happened local time around 8 am very dramatic, particularly as it happened right near the center of power. president connie saying afterwards, and you saw those pictures in a speech off to the press with the missiles. they wanted us to leave, but you didn't see any one. leave the prize. i was in the center of the city at the

time. i'm staying in the center of the city of quite a bit of commotion, but actually because of the holiday, it's is cost of the normal because most people are not in the center of the city. they're at home with their families. also worth noting that i've gotten a storm, instituted a new missile defense system for carnival in the last couple of days. that doesn't seem to work with these rockets but suggestion we have. the rockets were flawed from within the city. and that michelle defense system is aimed at stopping missiles coming in to the city from beyond the city limits. and james, in terms of the security situation in afghanistan, we understand that the turkish presidents as also wage in what more can you tell us? and this regard well we had talk so we can go on again and go home until the weekend. they seem to have made some progress. but the key thing they didn't get

was any sort form of ceasefire. and we believe that those talks will come back off the aid possibly for another round. but another key piece of the puzzle is coble air force. that is absolutely vital for all the foreign embassies that are based here for the un, for the international n g o. doing all that humanitarian work throughout afghanistan, that airport is operating and operating normally so that he get people and supplies in and out. and in the extreme situation, they can actually evac off the plan now is for turkey to take over the running of that airport. the taliban, though object to turkeys, troops being based at the airport. this is what president odor one had to say on the matter is diplomacy? notice in the america, 1st of all the united states will take sides with us in terms of diplomacy and diplomatic relations. secondly, in terms of logistics, they will use every means available for they will hand over every logistical

ability they have to turn. and finally, there will be serious financial and administered difficulties during this process. they will give the necessary support to turkey in this respect as well. if these conditions could be math, we're thinking of taking over the management of cabal airport. so those are the conditions that need to be met between the us and the afghan government. but i think the problem, the mail, real stumbling block beyond that is what the taliban are going to do. it again, say about this and we understand the present odor. one once a meeting with the taliban to try and discuss this issue further. ok, james face felt a serious tip sematic as to lie phone couple, james, thank you. i so says it's responsible for a suicide bomb attack. in fact that that has killed at least 31 people. it's the 3rd time this year that southern city has been targeted. iraq's prime minister has held a meeting with his top security officials. my mood de la has,

has more from baghdad. this is the aftermath of the attack on the have that busy market, you know, so the city majority, she, i neighborhood in the east of the iraqi capital. dad, they did an injured include women and children. the market was crowded with people who went out shopping for the muslim holiday over i don't of either. the explosion happened here doing the busiest out in the market. this is the gate of the market in the blast occurred just when it became crowded. bodies were everywhere, would have worked on the values of children and women, and the people all human beings. even if you try to lift a body, you couldn't. the government called it a terrorist attack and ordered the rest of the local police commander as part of an investigation less than 24 hours before the attack security forces. and i was at

the arrest of a top ice little commander, ice and had carried out similar attacks in the area this year. observers a concern the country is likely to see similar attacks as we approach the upcoming parliamentary elections, which they say could for men to sectarian conflict, and political rivalries in iraq. drew ahead, algebra bothered chinese diplomat, sorry, denying that beijing is responsible for cyber attacks against western nations. the u. s. u. k and other allies are keys in china of protecting hackers gauging and what they call malicious cyber activity, including a breach of the microsoft exchange email server. earlier this year, they say hacker groups, protected by bay gene, were responsible, compromising tens of thousands of computers worldwide. it's one of a range of cyber threats. china's being blamed for, including ransomware attacks involving millions of dollars. well let's get more

from katrina you. she joins as lie for beijing. katrina high, have chinese leadership being responding to these really storm accusations cyberattacks hi, hello world. china has flat out denied being involved in encouraging or directing or supporting any cyber attacks that have been launched worldwide. a call these accusations groundless and basically just motivated by political agendas. now we've heard now from beijing foreign ministry as well as several chinese embassies and missions based in europe and all of these statements. all of these rebuttals have been basically summarizing 2 main points. the 1st se is saying that basically the evidence around these allegations is incomplete at there are many cyber actors around the world. it's very difficult to trace the actual origins and also countries should be very careful about pointing all of these attacks at one

particular government. the 2nd point that aging is making is basically turning the tables on the u. s. and saying that these allegations are little more than hypocritical thing, that the u. s. itself is the main source of cyber attacks around the world that it's been, it accuses the washington of indiscriminately eaves dropping on other countries. not only competitors to the us, but as well as it's or an allies and aging has said that the c i a has for 11 years been launching its own cyber attacks against chinese institutions, including internet technology companies, ab asian companies, as well as the chinese government that fin the genes response, but what we haven't heard is really a comprehensive response to all of the u. s. allegations. what we didn't hear, for example, was any detailed reply to allegations of hacking of the microsoft email exchange, which affected more than 30000 companies around the world. we also didn't hear any response to the u. s. department of justice. the indictment of for chinese,

national allegedly involved in cyber attacks of 4 who have been based allegedly in the southern chinese province of high 9. so china, very much keeping the organ response vague at this point. katrina, you the in beijing katrina. thank you. after 6 weeks of uncertainty, peru finally, as a new president elect less, this pedal castillo has been officially declared. the winner. why? just 44000 votes as supporters as celebrating in the capital lima. the result was delayed by occupations a fraud made by the lose and candidate keiko. would you maury, who no faces trial on unrelated corruption charges, a teacher and union leader casteel is new face in national politics and has promised a sweeping changes. marianna sanchez has the reaction though from lima more than 45 days after the rough electron finally,

this is our just 0, a quick reminder. all the top stories this are that explosions regular says the precedence up connie was leaving each of her prayers at the presidential palace, but there have been no reports of injury so far in afghanistan, chinese diplomat for denying the paging is responsible for cyber attacks against western nations, u. s. u. k and other keys in china of protecting hackers engaging they cope malicious cyber activities, creating a breach of the microsoft exchange email server earlier this year and supporters of food the unless less this federal fields are celebrating after he was officially named as the next president comes after 6 weeks of uncertainty following the

because of covert restrictions and because of security phase around the security, all of the judges involved in this case. so he's got but the spokesman, the prosecution say it's another delaying tactic. it's become locally known in south africa, the stalingrad defense and the prosecution said this was stalingrad season 27 styling rap because there have been so many attempts to hold back any prosecution of jacob's bodies to try to avoid prosecution, not for more than 10 years. and attempts to bring him to court have been seen as seen as a test of south africa. the ability to hold the powerful and connected to accounts which point out that jacob junior is in jail. he's in jail for contempt of court. on another instance for failing to get refusing to give evidence to another corruption inquiry. so there is clearly the success in holding the powerful to

account in that regard. he will stay in prison for the moment until another hearing decides whether he should be released from prison or not, but this hearing will be back on august, the 10th. it relates as a quick reminder to allegations of corruption right back in 1999, 16 charges afford a relating to the purchase of fighter jets, a military equipment from 5 european countries. this case specifically tall. as jacob zoom was deputy president at the time, he rejects accusations of corruption, but going back to 999, an indication of how long jacobs and trials and tribulations have dominated the political scene. here in south africa, k bernard smith spring is the very latest there from dar. but we appreciate that bernard, thank dozens of palestinian muslims have gathered outside the oxen mall skin occupied east jerusalem to mark the 1st day of ease. i'd huff and he was chanting

but we can't run the risk that there are cases out there that we don't know about their chains of transmission that are not yet contained, that we don't know about. and that if it would open up, we say how quickly quickly this runs, we say half challenging. this can become in a very short space of time. more people across the western united states have been told to evacuate their homes because of wildfires. crews in california are trying to control the tamarac far, which is be burning for 2 weeks. they're raising the surrounding area, it's a whole, it's progress. drugs and high temperatures have created ideal conditions for wildfires. there are currently about 80 blazes across the 13 states. we drove in today just in hopes to maybe get to our house to get some change of clothes, check on pad and just kind of assess the situation. never going to was always
