build consensus, replaces inter employment a sexual joseph who took charge of the president of juvenile movies was killed inside his home. several foreigners are under arrest. murder and gallagher was followed developments from miami and joins been alive. andy, so now sworn in audio only faces some huge challenges he does, i mean this was a very public display of unity after 2 weeks of confusion workload closures, if appeared to be in charge. there were various people talking about who should be in charge following the assassination of the job. now, bowie. so now what we have as a prime minister, who's already put his cabinet together with one real goal in mind, did not is to take a tea to new elections. remember, i haven't been elections in a t since 2017. that sort of now, but we was elected the elections in 2019 was so problematic that they basically

fell to pieces. so this is a certainly from the international communities point of view, the necessary next step for this impoverished nation. ordinary haitians have been extremely scared over the past couple of weeks. not knowing what will happen next. now the goal is to whole free and fair elections, something that could be easier said than done. anyhow, it's a point and being viewed, i want to by ordinary haitians mean, are there any concerns, considering all the jostling boats into internally over internally and from the outside of the who in fact should be the prime minister? well, i think if there are concerns from ordinary haitians, the ones i'm hearing on that are on re, could be seen as a puppet, given the international pressure. and the backing of this, this particular politician that could be problematic for, on re, given a particular the influence of the united states in

a country like haiti. but it seems clear that the direction forward after the death of mo, east, was to get somebody speaking with one voice, was to put a cabinet together to get those elections going. but some other people are being talking to say, look, people going out in voting for the next government may not solve haiti's problems. you've got the parliament was dissolved. the senate is basically not working. large parts of port prints run by gangs in the economy is essentially crumbling. so whether a new election will solve those problems, it's highly unlikely. but certainly the international community seems to see it seems to think that is the right move. i think for ordinary haitians worried about their own security, least for now the prime minister that people can coalesce behind. but these elections in haiti's history of perhaps never been more important. thank you for that. and to get in, miami came, i've is a journalist at the haiti,

liberty newspaper. he says, key government positions have remained in the hands of the late president allies. our sense is that the real hungry, who is the long time ally of the united states has been turned to because of his pay full service. in the past the government he has put together is really i could say a coalition government of both the jovan l sector, the ph. d k. and a few other. it's the key post to remain the same when the job now had club. joseph remains, the foreign minister, patrick white bear remains as the minister of economy and finance. very important for the u. s. and the justice minister, rockefeller ben sons, so the key ministries are still in the hands of job nails group. and i think, you know, we're going to see an effort now for them to try to bring elections about, you know, probably sometime early, 2020 to within the coalition. this is really

a shift, more or less to the opposition by the us, who is the king maker the king anoint her in haiti. this opposition, which has embraced ariel on re, is now going to be, i think skirmishing among themselves, for posts in positions and power. and advantage in the upcoming contests for president elect has promised change is coming. after a deeply bitter election teacher and union leader pedro castillo was declared the winner of last month. presidential vote only on monday, but he won the runoff by just 44000 votes. the official results were delayed by accusations of fraud by the loose encounters. take her 50 morey. she faces trial on unrelated corruption charges, an ally and friend to former us president donald trump has been arrested on foreign lobbying charges. the us justice department says thomas barrack and 2 others are

charged with acting as agents of the united arab emirates. kid trumps, and all grow funds and help them get elected. the 3 men are accused of seeking to influence us public opinion in favor of the u. s. e. well, let's take a closer look at the charges against barrick. prosecutor say he provided the us with sensitive information about the trump administration, including how senior us officials felt about the blockade on car. already is also say that in may 2016, the fabric inserted language. praising for us in a campaign speech, trump delivered about us energy policy. barrick is also alleged to have repeatedly lied during an f b. i interview about his dealings with the ever artes mike had of law for us now in washington dc. mike, what is back? said to these charges well, there's no response whatsoever at the moment. barricade remains in custody. the prosecutor insist that he's the real,

like where it's given his immense wealth. the fact that he has a private aircraft. and the fact that he has close ties and countries like live and on, and the u. a. e. he will be transferred to a prison in new york at the stage, no bail appearance yet scheduled. but those 7 indictments, or very, very serious charges also charged along with him. one of the members for my member id company, along with another m r a. m r r t businessman the serious a charge in those indictments lying to federal agents during an interview in june 2019. when this whole investigation was under way. the prosecutor made a rather strange step of pointing out that form a president. donald trump was one of those betrayed by barracks action in a way, attempting to distance the former president from the actions of the man who ran his campaign fund for a long period of time. but to give some kind of context to this for 3 years,

say the prosecutors from the time that donald trump was nominated as republican candidate for president, 3 years later, one and a half $1000000000.00 were paid into better act. so wealth fund by the u. a e and it's very close allied, saudi arabia, christians have also written about the trump administration's policy towards the o. e. and of course, saudi arabia as well that being the 1st country that then president trump chose to visit. so although the prosecutors attempting to play down any possible link with donald trump, himself as he died, many continued to be investigated so many other facts could come to light. okay, mike hannah in washington dc. thank you. ryan grim is the washington d. c. bureau chief of the intercept and investigative news organization, he joins us now on scott, thank you for your time. give us you will take, how serious are the charges that he's facing?

they're very serious. and in fact, as you know, that he is considered a flight risk by prosecutors. you know, you know, as you are saying, which, which means that this is a, this is a billionaire used to moving in some of the most powerful circles on the globe who was, it was going to remain in prison. you know, for the foreseeable future, unless he can persuade a judge to somehow let him out until his, his trial. but the main question is going to be whether or or not baracus this has information that could, that could get him a reduced or non existent sentence. that would implicate people higher up the chain and brock was so high up the chain that there are very few people that, that, that label would apply to. and jared cushion or, and donald trump or are among the few that i think would qualify. ok,

that wouldn't be an interesting kind of event. tell me, do we know how far up the ladder this went in terms of who thomas brock was taking directions from it or was in contact with in the u. s. e. so the, the indictment is, is, does not specify names, but it does, it does appear that the, the higher essentially the highest levels of the u. e. government, it appears up to and including mohammed nbc, what are some of the biggest unanswered questions in all of this for you? well, the biggest thing, and as a question, is it? it's a 2 part question. does brock have information about any got any golf country, whether it's cut through the u. e. saudi arabia or, or anybody else who offered financial benefit to anyone in the administration,

in order for favorable policy treatment? does he have that information at? that's the 1st half of the question in the 2nd half is, is he willing to trade that information to save his own skin? right, i thank you very much for that. ryan grim. they're from the internet. you got it. a founder of amazon may be the world's richest man, but only now has jeff face off achieved a lifelong dream, flying to space, what a prime rocket. bob reynolds report from van horn, texas, near the lawn, site of tuesdays mission for come in and, and start to watch the from deep in the heart of texas. the richest man on planet earth blasted off into outer space. the blue origin rocket hearing amazon founder jeff bezos, his brother, mark 82 year old female mercury space program, pioneer wally funk,

was declared the winner of last presidential vote on monday. you one run off, find just 44000 votes. let's get the latest now from money on a sanchez who's in lima. marianna. how is pedro castillo planning to try and heal the divisions that really come to the for during these elections? very difficult. kim, the countries deeply divided because they still have only one by 50 point, one percent of the vote. there's 49.9 percent of food and we did not both for him and who do not care. and once any of the policies that he has said that she would implement policies that are, that are left wing rather than than than center. now we will see you is not new to politics. we know he's, he's a farmer, he's, he's a school teacher, but he's been a politician also in the center right parties of a 100 a little

a few years ago. and she used negotiator, naturally he was able to win a very difficult and strong strike teacher strike in 2017. so he has those credentials from negotiating. now, the 1st thing, the 1st, 1st thing that he has said is to knowing that this in the countries the polarized, he has called for unity and has asked for more than his rivals who stopped setting up barriers and to join in, in, in the national, national agenda it will be difficult to know how or what will he do in the next few days. will you surround himself mainly of moderates to calm down in a piece so many people who are very afraid of him or will he gives he's supporters. what they have asked for,

which is change a change of the constitution and many other changes that they are expecting him to deliver. kim, thank you for that update on a sanchez in lima in the united states has eased it's covered 19 travel restrictions to india. it's now advising citizens that they can travel, but they all being told to exercise caution. the level 3 recommendation has been prompted by declining cases in the reporting its lowest number of daily cove deaths and 4 months on tuesday. 374 lives were lost and there were just over 30000 new cases. now israel has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world, but the delta variant is it was surgeon infections. now the country has to have to give a 3rd dose of the vaccine to high risk patients or the da humming have more from 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 vaccination because they absorb that as a virus. they don't show any symptoms, but somehow in fact that as their so they are the israel managed to back to 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 again. 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 the 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 compromised 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 come 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 reduce from 90 to 60 as effect, this is pcr, positive tests, 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 till the government is worried. obligatory face mass indoors has been re introduced and there are new current teen 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. how many al jazeera israel. molly's interim president, south. any goiter has survived an attempt on his life and the capital, obamacare. he appeared on national television just all after a man tried to stab him during a press in the city. great mosque. caution said he's doing well. he took power into

and after leaving the country, 2nd crew in less than a year. everything is fine. there is no problem, it's all part of being a leader. there are always people who are unhappy and there are people who at any time can try things to stabilize. i want to reassure people and say that i am very will no one was injured and the situation was handled. there being 3 rocket attacks in the africa and capital cobble. tell me that can be heard as president us off guard. he was leading a prose at the presidential palace. there were no injuries. i feel has claimed responsibility for the attack. or the us and nato pulling out of afghanistan, turkeys president, has expressed interest in taking over the management of cobbles, international, airport russel sir the has the details from a stumble. well, for now we're keeping the company port secure 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 couple of a port run up and run. and turkey in that sense, wants to keep it international because it is afraid of a scenario that once the international community is out of the country and it's find itself left behind alone and having a confrontation with tyler by the way, it wants to keep us in groups 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 2 packets and also be in the corporation to security. a couple of april because pakistan local expertise is quite important for turkey and other track of the ships, also turkey and the hungry as a european union member. so talking that says 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 the requirements of turkey from the u. s. a . if they want to take over the management of couple a port, 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 it on the 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. at least 3 people have been killed in severe flooding and trying his hand on province with more rain forecast. emergency crews have been working to rescue train passengers off to the subway, flooded and the provincial capital to jo. more than 10000 people have been moved to

those who have lost everything. words alone don't make any difference. merkel, after 16 years as chancellor will be replaced after elections in september did promise financial support soon. and then we'll miss even the minds on the financial aid must go to the people as soon as possible. have more often than not have nothing for them. the clothes say a wearing and a completely reliant on the residents are worried. the process of delivering that emergency 8 will be long as you regret it. for now, they rely on family, friends and complete strangers. steadfast and al jazeera apartments that ah, kimbell and joe hall with the headlines on al jazeera, haiti has a new prime minister after 2 weeks of uncertainty following the assassination of its president. only is a 71 year old neurosurgeon and public official. he's calling for unity that
