on al jazeera ah al jazeera, as a you ah, all i the richest man, jeff pays off the space on his company's 1st private passenger hand touch town. and he makes history as well with the blue origin launch carrying by the oldest and young people to ever go to spain. i can, i'll send them, maria here, and go with the world news from al,

just the rocket attacks interrupt aid prayers in the capital, free of them land near the presidential power. and molly interim president. i see me gorgeous device, an attempt on his line. i want to come from madison to the edge of space spinning businessmen. jeff pays off . returning from his maiden space voyage a flight last thing exactly 10 minutes and 18 seconds. the new shepherd craft blasted off from texas with its crew including phase of his brother and the youngest and oldest people to i've ever been in space. it is the 1st commercial flight for the tanker in blue origin space tourism company. after detached from the rocket booth to the camp to reach the height of around a 100 kilometers above the earth, just on the edge of space where they well did this 3 min of weightlessness before

beginning their defense and touched down. and that is the descend, ending in the text and desert with just the flight of the bump and elated bayville and his crew emerging shortly after. he could be heard describing the trip as quote, the best day ever. the most profound piece of it for me was looking out at the earth and looking at the earth atmosphere. every astronaut ever who's been up into space, they say this that it changes them and they look at it and they're kind of amazed and off struck by the earth and its beauty. but also by its fragility. and i can vouch for that. when i look up, you know, who were still in this room were driving our cars were moving around the planet in our normal was the atmosphere so gigantic. you know where these tiny little things in the planet the atmosphere so big. but when you get up above it, what you see is it's actually incredibly thin. it's this tiny little fragile thing

. and as we move about the planet, we're damaging it more now from robert reynolds, with near the launch site in van horn, texas. they're just very enthusiastic. we heard from jeff from jeff bezos himself kind of very emotional. he talked about his family and his daughter is he took a bracelet necklace, piece of jewelry, up into space. he gave it to his mother. that was a very personal moment. they talked about how they had brought historical relics from space, from, from not space flight, but from from aeronautics. from the earliest, mon gulf, the a balloon in the 18th century, to a piece of canvas from the wright brothers playing a kitty hawk. and then some items that had belonged to amelia earhart. so they're trying to really get the symbolism of, of, of this as

a continuity in the history of, of air and space. travel. interesting. with the oliver damon, the 18 year old, saying that it was just great and he hopes that millions of other people can do it . of course, oliver is pretty lucky because his dad is a 1000000000 millionaire millionaire hedge fund manager. so you know, it's going to be people with considerable means who are able to take the space tourism flight will space travel was until recently the domain of wealthy nations. but these private billionaires could pave the way up the strict rules as well out of space trees 1st adopted by the human in the late sixties. set out principles for exploration by nation states. broad agreements, which call for space travel to be pursued in the common collective good. and for countries to bear responsibility for their activities. but now we have these 3000000000 as competing. sorry, who have competing stakes in space. includes the musk space x, which branson's,

virgin galactic, and of course base us as well. experts are calling for new clear rules to be drafted to ensure space is protected from environmental hom and commercial exploitation. his tiny harrison fellow of the university of british columbia is outer space institute. he says human kind as a whole stance to benefit from this expansion of space tourism. there's not just inspiration coming to people watching this in the hopes that they might want to enter something related to space. they might want to enter science and technology and engineering field that benefit us here on earth, you know, working on satellites that image years every day. to teach us about the effect of climate change or worked on engineering to help us combat some of the impacts of climate change. on the space station, for example, they're doing a lot of biomedical research to try and see if we can find cures or infectious diseases or treatments for cancer. and so there's a lot of impacts on research that we do in space that maybe the general public

isn't all that aware of. but everything that we do in space is really geared at trying to improve our lives. your honors overseeing this huge burst of innovation and the speed at which they can do things so much faster than any government can do . and so i think we could see collaboration on that front to push more scientific exploration, more expiration of space in general. and i mean, at the end of the day, it would be really great to have the star trek as world where we have everybody working together for the benefit of humanity and not having these capitalistic fights over, you know, who can do the next thing 1st to could make the most money, unfortunately about the society that we live in right now, but maybe some day we can get to that point. i certainly hope so on to other news and they've been 3 rocket attacks and the afghan capital cobble. how the could be heard as the african president, national, counting, leading the present, the presidential palace. one of them hit nat campbell's most popular most wow.

another was behind his biggest shopping mall. the 3rd was near the foreign ministry of foreign affairs. so if i know reports of any injuries are diplomatic, edit a james base is income with more certainly there was a big shock for people in the very center of cobble. when they heard the bangs, i was staying in the center of cobble at around 8 o'clock this morning when this took place. now in the meach it off to me, off out you're a spoke to a senior member of the taliban who said that they were behind this attack, but the taliban then never made any formal statement. and i statement then came out from i. so saying that they carried out the attack, i've spoken now to the tell about an official spokesman, so hell shaheen and he says that he'll put out a statement because the taliban didn't do it. that is not the view of the african government vote. listen to what president connie had to say in the immediate

aftermath. and we have the willing determination for peace and we have also sacrificed for it. but the telephone do not have the willing simulation for peace. we have to take our decisions accordingly. clearly this comes with a very difficult time for the afghan government. they're saying lots of rural areas that are falling in to the taliban in recent weeks. and recent months, the same bullet points that have falling to the taliban. they could say that urban centers and particularly the capital, were very much in that control. i think this shows the fragility of the african government right now. and with the u. s. a nato pulling out of afghanistan, turkeys president, has expressed an interest in taking over the management of cobbled international airport. jip tie berwin says he plans to hold talks with the taliban about it. griswold so that has more details from miss tumble. well, for now we're keeping the company port security is quite important because it's the only get with gateway for the international community. and turkey is in talks,

particularly with the say regarding how to corporate to keep the a couple of a port a run up and run. and key in that sense, wants to keep it international because it has afraid of a scenario that once the international community is out of the country and it's find itself left behind along and having a confrontation with tyler. by the way, it was to keep the us, the troops also in the, in the country, particularly in the couple a port. but on the other hand, there are tools between turkey and, and pakistan regarding to packets and also be in cooperation to secured the couple a port because pakistan, local expertise is quite important for turkey. and other track of the english is also turkey and the hungry as a european union member. so taking that wants to keep the game international as much as possible. and there are the ongoing negotiation between turkey and,

and the usa as well. so it seems that they are very much close to the agreement and as you can see, present one also given more details and as played the requirements of turkey from the u. s. a. if they want to take over the management of couple airport, let's listen to him. use diplomacy knocked us in the 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 you will hand over every logistical ability they have to turkey. and finally, there will be serious financial and administrative difficulties during this process . they will give us the necessary support to turkey and disrespect as well. if these conditions could be math, we are thinking of taking over the management of capital airport. molly's in term president to see me going to has survived an attempt on his life in the capital bama code. he appeared on national television just hours after a man tried to stab him during prayers in the cities. great mosque,

going to said he is doing well and there would be, or they would always be people trying to cause instability a to power in june after leaving the country. second qu, unless the here is more with our address monitoring developments from a boucher nigeria, the military leader, i seem to go to colonel awesome great. i was entering in the mosque when the attacker suddenly launched, launched at him with an ice. the presidency insist that he's safe, but others reports suggest that he may have been struck in the arm he's attack i was posing us and i show into the most when, when, when, when i was passing by, then he attacked him. now i think he is currently in his 1st year in office since the 1st school almost the 1st year and his officers, the 1st school. remember, you took of a power in august of 2020 and then 9 months, one month after he was sworn in as the vice president of the interim government,

he deposed the president, the civil president and the prime minister, 9 months after. and now he's waiting. he has 6 months on record now to organize elections, according to our time table agreed by the economic community of west africa state, of course, and the interim government in molly's now. the current situation in my life such a difficult one because 1st of all, the friendship analysis that they're pulling out of the i g 5 security formation in molly. and we've seen also an increase in attacks by groups in money. now what does not kill you had the moment regarding today's attack is whether or not the attack was carried out by one of the groups operating in mali and neighboring states like new jersey fossil. alright, in the news ahead. and i'm so fast we saw from bottom to high for wait, a small for came up to for me for high was away from need 3. and

a message is on the way and as evidence grows that back things unless effective against variations around a virus on countries in our considering booster shot. ah ah, now off the mall soon rein rages heavily in the western side of india. we get the edge effects in ceylon, a few showers, turn up into the merits as a west and yemen north southwest sadie. the shower that were quite unusual and a couple days ago it was spread across the empty quarter, up towards katara and the you a well, they just about gone. i want to maybe in the far south or wrong. so the picture, it turns to one of hot and dry for the most part, with temperatures in iraq actually rising back that had about 50 miles harm, you get to sustain the unsure breeze keeps it cool. in the event they roots down to

about $29.00. your notice, but he just seeing, generally speaking, if over lay the background you see where you've got the mountains is not quite as hot, where you haven't it is. and that includes up in the standard took medicine, for example, ask about who's temped, his averaging $38.00 is above that, not quite a records, but to get a variation this time the in this place is quite notable. so we again on the high side of average and approaching record values. now one of the good throw offs from the monsoon is the increase in showers over easier in hines which feeds of course, the not often the other river. the biggest outbreaks of rain seemed likely to be drifting into the south of sudan the next day or so. the weather bag, energy and change to every part of our universe. more

small. to continue the change all around, shape my technology and human ingenuity. we can make it work for you and your business. ah, the me help stories with our own out of the ra amazon found a jeff pays off, has returned from his maiden voyage. the new shepherd's crew included base of his brother and the youngest and oldest people who has malware ever been in space. 3 rockets have been 5 toward that kind of stones presidential palace in cobble that

can be heard. as president nash, i found the was leading a lot have prayer, and molly's in term president. i seem to go to advise and attempt on his life from the capital obama code. his office says he's safe after him and tried to staff and your friends in cities. great. german chancellor, anglo merkel, is promising emergency aid for areas affected by the worst floods in decade. she's made her 2nd visit to the region of the cleanup operation. continues. waters have receded, but some towns are cut off by damage, roads and bridges off the lot of the yeah, it's very clear that we face a very long recovery. we will not forget you. we will keep checking on the rebuilding and we will do everything we can together with the local and regional governments to ensure money comes quickly to people who have nothing left but the clothes on their backs. people who need support more now, what's that vance and reporting from budman that i for it's an unbelievable clean

up operation. as you can see, these chains of people here behind me, fast on buckets and all kinds of things that are coming from all these houses were completely flooded. this has been continuing for days already, and this is exactly the place also in the bathrooms. so eiffel where i'm going back over the chancellor would take earlier today just an hour or 2 ago she was here and she was actually standing right there. and it was a very interesting scene, eye witness. so she was standing right there talking to officials, talking to journalists, but here on this bridge the work continued. a all the time, well, she was there and people were actually angry. they said why you see there really to work every, everything has to stop there. so they were kind of frustrated. and i find that you come here and, and some, some nice and sympathetic worse. but we really need her to do more. we need that. she takes a lot of money. and why is she thought of hampering the clean up operations?

this is a very old historic sound. it's a beautiful song that used to be it's beautiful song. you can see the reference over there, but everything that's next to it used to be a rose and that's completely disappear. you can see that the water was so hot. what is washing everything away? that the whole us, all the, everything has disappeared and what the cell and pnc i have been doing, because you don't really see many people from the authority services policy from all over germany. actually writing also what's been left behind all these holes in the road to try to fill up with all this degree and rather that they can 5 corona virus news. now in israel was the 1st country to fully vaccinated population and to lift covered restrictions. but the delta variant has now led to a surge and infections. and so israel started to give a 3rd dose of the vaccine to high risk patients. hot bill home, it has more for television. it's the last section of the population to be

vaccinated. 12 year old and teenagers, they are considered less at risk, but immunizing them has now become a priority that target the explanation because they absorb that as a virus. they don't show any symptoms, but somehow in fact that as they're ready. so they are the further israel managed to vaccinate its way out of depend demik with more than 80 percent of the population above the age of 40. having received their 2 doses for 3 consecutive weeks, they were no corona virus related death. israel was hailed as a success story and the government lifted social distances rules no matter where required indoors and international travel was allowed to game. but that was short lived. those returning to the country have brought with them the delta variant, and it's spreading at an alarming pace. accounting for around 90 percent of all new

infections. the country is grappling with an increase in daily infections now at a 4 month high. so the government took to bold move of introducing a 3rd those vaccine a booster shot at the moment available only for specific cases. only patients with chronic diseases or an already compromise immunity system. i, legible for the 3rd jap. that raises the question of how effective is defined the vaccine, the only one available in israel, in the longer term health official say its effectiveness has gone down to about 64 percent when it comes to the delta variant. when you look on the long term, and now we're looking on longer term, it was supposed to be reduce a little more chance of becoming infected, even if it was reduced from 90 to 60 as effect, this is p c r positive test positive. but this is not being sick

and i'm not really interest of reducing the people being positive on the p. c. r. i want to reduce hospitalization. i want to reduce mortality. still the government is worried. obligatory face mask indoors has been reintroduced and there are new guaranteed rules for returning travelers. more restrictions could be imposed in the days to come. what happens next is a concern for everyone here in israel and for those around the world who are closely monitoring. however, fully immunized society faces new limitations of covered 19 that meet al jazeera israel covered restrictions will be extended in indonesia. there is a surge of infections there. president joker, we told us that they will remain in place until at least july 25th. cases in

indonesia are among the highest in the world. actually about 50000 were reported every day last week. most of them linked again to that delta variance. the rise of delta her is making some governments rethink their vaccine strategy. recent studies have shown that a 3rd vaccine dose can boost immunity against highly transmittal variance, but us health officials are not recommending a 3rd jab. they say more evidence is needed. israel though, as we saw, which had the fastest vaccine roland in the world, has already begun. it's 3rd shuttle offering that 3rd shot to high risk people in the u. k. they're making plans for potential booster program before the winter. also some major governments say they may offer pfizer boosters to people who have received the signing back shot. but some poor nations of vaccinated, less than one percent of the populations in the world. health organization says breed is causing inequality and vaccine make as much supply countries in need before shifting their focus to the boosters for themselves. his john nichols

clinical professor and pathology at the university of hong kong leading corona virus research. he told us, while there is a global vaccine shortage, sending jobs to poor countries will bring a great benefit. remember the mortality of this boss about 2 percent. so if you got those 10000000 doses for vaccine country which is naive, then you can potentially prevent about 200000 this you're going to ready vaccinated population of 10000000. then that had the on a vaccine, which is more towns. he bought that nazi the set even the delta vines, so it gives them the booster will drop these. so 2000 death by maybe about 200. so you're saving maybe 1800 deaths with a 10000000 doses. so it makes a lot of argument to actually to give it to the, to the poor countries, those which have been vaccinated. and also these countries is the, with the ny populations where you're going to be getting the potential rise of these need vents, which we need the business for. so i think there's lots vitamins to say that these

doses must be given to the countries which either don't have the vaccine strategy or, or much poorer. having said that is he mentioned as a strong argument. 5 countries, i smoke all the time and say we need the booster because of the current vaccine which had the inactivate vaccine is not and is not good enough for the winter of paris presidential elections finally been declared 6 weeks after the actual vote. teacher and union leader pedro castillo won by just 44000 votes. the official results were delayed by accusations of fraud by the losing candidate, take her to humanity. she now faces trial on unrelated corruption charges more from marianna, sanchez, and lima. she says, it won't be an easy start for castillo, considering just how close that result was. he is a natural negotiator, and the 1st thing he said is post words after he was proclaimed the 1st intellect last night was to give an honest branch to people. if you, marty, he called for

a national government of national unity very well arise, very polarized as country. but he also called on people who stop putting barriers on the next, on the next the government. but there will be a lot of things that he will have to do. first of all, he will have the message of who will be surrounded by it. will it be moderates or will it be extreme? it's from the left party. he represented, there will be a congress of the party on sunday and we will see what whether the members of the party will be demanding more of extremist positions, political positions in the next government. so there's a lot to be, to be developing this week before he takes over on july the 28th. the french president emanuel micron is reported to have been targeted by pegasus spyware. the

newspapers says this phone was hacked by moroccan intelligence. this follows an investigation into the widespread use of such spine technology made by the israeli company. and so the report claims, hundreds of journalists, activists, and politicians were targeted. the french prosecutor has opened an investigation letter from pulling out his marvell who is the editor in chief in spokes. person for reporters without borders. explains why this actions being taken. we have just the side now complained to in paris this afternoon along with the 2 french maroka, no journey or novel sky and matthew manjeet. so you have the exclusion formation that this afternoon. yeah. after the revelation of the begins project on the use of the software of the company, and it's so that the, the, when you talk unity, the, we decided that says to file a complaint against the best and unknown. but actually the complaint is actually we

aimed at the un and we've been denouncing the action of the group from the 2017. and so the plan that we hope that to be the, the, the complaint i mean calls on the procedure to identify the greater than a completion of the offences in question. because and not the 118 germany. there are 30 french germany here. are concerned dozens of palestinian muslims have gathered outside lots and mosque in occupied east jerusalem to mark the 1st day of ada latter. when he was chanting in solidarity with other palestinians and gallant living under israeli occupation. the place of worship is considered the 3rd holy sight. it's gone. but in iraq, a de la husband, maud by violence, a bomb attack killed at least 31 people. and i still has taken responsibility for it, but it up the white as more from baghdad. i

suppose more caden men a be funny for most in the media, but a birds are most prominent on the district. despite covey, 19 restrictions, many believe performing these sacred rituals, indicates devotion and equality level. i believe this prayer is mandatory. we have to perform it in mass. ok. hello. yes, we should consider quarantine measures, but this occasion is an essential part of our heritage. 1 security measures have been tightened here of the violent incidents in the past, but it was in the majority, she asserted city that a suicide bomber blew himself up at a busy market, praying that peace and prosperity come back to the country. these are shippers say there are said and by the targeting of pavilion on the eve of aid. and despite the risk of growing a virus infection,

iraq is trying to keep the tradition alive. sacrificing around or a cow is reenacting profit. abraham's obedience to god. with the country in economic decline, not many can afford that. on the local titles, jalen, hardy and ryan with guest this year, less grass, so few a sheep on offer, and consequently prices are high despite financial hardship, the while we family gathered to celebrate had nothing but a steady than our family. bonds inherited by our ancestors are marked by eat. we also inspire your memories and the good old days. but he will now be a time of morning for some, including the l. just him family. that a 16 year old daughter was killed in the attack in a southern city hallmark. there's no eat for us today. in fact, we haven't had any normal eden years. with another surgeon cove in 19 infections.

iraq is recording nearly 10000 cases a day. but some families are still determined to celebrate to eat for those who lost loved ones. it's more a reminder of the pain that drew had algebra. ah, pop up here and i'll just see where these are the headlines. amazon found the just phases has returned from its maintenance space storage. the new shepherd's crew included base off his brother and the youngest and all the people who have now been ever been in space. the most profound piece of it for me was looking out at the earth and looking at the earth atmosphere. every astronaut ever who's been up in space, they say this that it changes them and they look at it and they're kind of amazed and.
