is all around the shape by technology and human ingenuity. we can make it work for you and your business. ah ah, from the news down here at all, just the right. these are the top stories. tokyo's olympic games are officially on the way the opening ceremony being held in virtually empty stadium. the event is overshadowed by the panoramic. more than 100 people attending the games. who have tested positive for carbon 19 in the run up to the event. 11 and hospitals are running out of fuel economic crisis is led to power, cup can last up to 20 hours

a day threatening lives. as corona vices, cases rise in the funeral of hated assassinated president, job anomalies is taking place in his home town and hash. and he was shocked at his residence in the capital more than 2 weeks ago. you with the secretary of state antony blinking has met iraq's foreign minister in washington dc topping the agenda, the potential withdrawal of combat troops. by the end of the year. this may allow the us military to take on an advisory role, including training and arman iraqi forces to find i thought his meeting expected to lay the groundwork for president jo, buttons in person meeting with the iraqi prime minister and stuff alchemy on monday that's checking with patty calhoun live at the state department's in washington. patty, so much focus and all of our focus has been on the trip withdrawal from afghanistan by the 11th of september. what's happening with regards to iraq? this is a very,

very different thing. so the foreign minister came out at the state department with the secretary state entity blinking, and they had comments, the normal comments that you would expect about continuing to support looking forward to the upcoming elections in iraq. and that is likely what this is really about. so we, as you mentioned on monday at the white house, they're expected to announce that they plan to have all us combat troops out of iraq by the end of the year. but the foreign ministers been doing a lot of reports with local media saying that they are still going to need the us to do training to do surveillance and intelligence and to do air power. so you might be asking yourself and with good reason, weight aren't pilots, you fly planes, the drop bombs also combat troops. yes. in fact they are. and so there's not a lot of there here because the us troops are already pretty much doing all of those things, surveillance and training and air power. this could be seen likely more of a political statement to try and shore up the support for the prime minister in the run up to those electric cars. obviously, us troops frozen. there is a big deal,

but at the same time, the u. s. has no plans, i'm pulling the $2500.00 or so troops out of iraq that are there. now the numbers could fluctuate a little bit. but keep in mind, it's not just about a rack. the, the base it racks. it supports the $900.00 soldiers that us military members that are in syria right now. so the message from the pentagon is yes, officially the to why they're there is going to change. but it's pretty much they're gonna keep doing exactly what they've been doing in iraq. you mentioned joe biden meeting with the prime minister on monday. i'm trying to imagine how important or how big sort of foreign relations are these days given the pandemic and, and how big that is and how important that is locally in the united states. well, for the vast majority of the public, it's not number one, number 2, number 3 priority, but for joe biden, that's kind of his thing. his whole career has been focused on foreign policy. so he has put a lot of focus on that. not necessarily,

not necessarily in iraq or afghanistan, because he is also made those decisions to leave troops out of afghanistan. his focus, though, is really been trying to shift u. s. foreign policy to combat countries like china and russia. so he's being pulled in different directions, obviously with everything that's happening around the globe. but if he can send the message to the american public, that winding down, not just enough gamma sandwich should be a complete withdraw except for the embassies in the airport. but he wouldn't be unpopular for him. totally send the message. the combat troops are leaving iraq, even if not, many troops actually do good talking to patty medical hands at the state department . that's friday. israel high court has asked the government to clarify its position on the bed. one village of murder by september when doesn't threaten with demolition across the israel and the occupied west bank. they're not recognized by the state and their people are facing forced displacement and you, exhibition and tell of eve is highlighting the scale of the issue is what
