ah, and al jazeera, what every ah, all the celebration is engine is yes, the present dismisses the prime minister, but some sites a member on calling their life from jo hall's that coming up the hope and heartbreaking area as 28 kids are. children are united with their parents, 87 more, remain captured,

entirely covered. emergency escalates with 20000 people waiting for a hospital bed in the capital bank of the us says it could increase as strikes against the african taliban. if it's fighters continue their offensive. ah, janet is president says he's dismissed a prime minister. his show me she, she had suspended parliament and a move. the head of parliament says is unconstitutional. it follows nationwide protest the handling of the crew of ours pandemic, and a struggling economy alexia bryan reports, celebrations on the streets of unity as capital tunis. and the hours after the president dismissed the prime minister and suspended parliament for 30 days. oh, what is the 1st time in my life?

i've heard the head of the state make the right decision. we've taken our country back the 1st time we are out on the streets to celebrate the president, kyle said supporters made their way through the streets, welcoming news of political change. earlier thousands had protested in several cities about government failures and crippling corona virus. right. the route shouted slogans against the ruling enough to pansy and prime minister his machine, she calling for the dissolution of parliament and chanting down with the regime the partner with them. we have come down today to resist this regime. they take our money and curse us. they have not done anything to the people, always fighting. it is enough. how can 9 ministers rule an entire country? we have starved and the people are lost. gotcha. the police blocked all streets,

leading to the city's main thoroughfare and tear gas to break up the crowds. it was a key site that you know the in revolution a decade ago, that toppled long time president zane elaborating banashali and unleashed the arab spring uprising. soon after the president called an emergency meeting, saying the measures when needed to save the country. i don't, i wouldn't. you have to have a sudden the 1st decision is to freeze all the powers of the parliament. if the constitution does not allow the parliament to be dissolved, but it does not stand in the way of freezing all the word said, the 2nd decision is to lift the immunity of all members of parliament. and for those of whom a cases related says, i will take care over the public prosecution. critics, including the speaker of parliament, has called the president's actions, a qu, cut out senator con, decisions have no basis in the cost should nor in the law. and we are against them

because in short, it is against the constitution who against the revolution and who against public and private liberties in the country. the president meet misinterpretations that actually clashes with reality about call and list suggest a rivalry between the president prime minister and speaker has prevented action to tackle the surgeon unemployment and crumbling state services. the junior is also being overwhelmed by the corona virus facing one of africa's worst outbreaks. hospitals are overcrowded and under resort and saturday reported a record 317 deaths from the virus to many the country, deepening, economic and social problems had undermined support for democracy. some critics say that very democracy is now in danger. alex here brian al jazeera. meanwhile,

there's been a stand off outside the trinity in parliament. the gates are locked and speaker, russia good news. she has been told he's not allowed in good. she has cooled on him piece to consider themselves still working for the people. now, mohammed jumped june is reported many times from today's year. he joins me right now. i'm a how many? what is a qu not a qu like what is going on? yeah, this is the big question m ron. it's very confusing right now. you have members of another party including russia with a new, she's had a parliament, he's the head of that party as well. he's saying that this is a coup against the revolution. it's a coup. against democracy, the president is saying that he is empowered to do this because of article 80 of the constitution that he's not dissolving parliament. that he is suspending parliament that that suspension last for 30 days that he's going to appoint a new prime minister. all of that seems to be very fluid at the moment, like the idea that any of this could be resolved in 30 days. really, if you report it out of tenicia and you've seen how long things take there,

especially when it comes to parliamentary procedures. that seems like a big gamble, but then you have this idea of it, this constitutional and one of the reasons this is so thorny is because when this new constitution was established in 2014, a constitutional court was supposed to be set up whereby questions about the legality. challenges to the constitution, governmental challenges, these sorts of questions could be answered. there would be a final arbiter that is not the case right now. so at the moment it looks as though, as though the president is the final arbiter and this matches complicates it all further. it's no, there's no other court that can hear it has to be this constitutional court. it's unclear if there is another legal form in the country whereby a type of legal challenge to this decision can be played out. possibly that challenge will be made potentially. there is another court that another or other members of parliament might take a case to. but from whom i've been speaking with into nature, they say that the,

the really the only authority that could resolve this would be this constitutional court that has not yet been established. because there's not been agreement as to who could be appointed to the constitutional court. and that just really point to the extreme political stasis that has played out the past several years in tunisia . the fact that you have a very fragile coalition government, the fact that you have a parliament that's very divided. also in, in tunisia the new constitution splits the powers between the president, the prime minister and parliament, and that has not been working well at all the past couple of years. so how this is going to play out? really just, nobody knows right now. i mean, exactly, i mean, we are in the realms of like, what might happen next, but what took us all by surprise was the escalation of no one was expected miss, right? nobody was expecting that this would happen right now. there have been lots of calls over the past several months by members of the population and teenager who are very frustrated by the political deadlocks in the country. they've been asking

for the dissolution of parliament. and because it happened today, one of the 1st reactions you saw, you saw some celebrations in different parts of the country, including parts of the capital because people thought, hey, maybe this is a way out of this mess. maybe the fact that this parliament has been suspended, maybe there can be a new prime minister. maybe we can get on to business as usual into nisha. the economy has been wrecked. it's been further ravaged by covered 1900, which is really ravaging the country right now. and then you have high numbers of youth unemployment. it's really in very bad shape right now. the country seems to be teetering, and the people that are there that have been living through so many years of uncertainty. they just want a functioning government. and it seems like that is a goal post that gets farther and farther away with the passing of each month. so at the moment it seems like there's sort of a mode of celebration about this. but you've also had rush of a new sheet, the speaker parliament calling for supporters of enough to come out to protest this . so it's going to be interesting to see if in the next few days you have different

groups of protestors those supporting this move by the president supporting the president. those supporting another. and what exactly that leads to throughout the country? well, haven't you on june that thank you very much. now, 20 nigerian children have been reunited with their parents weeks after they were kidnapped by armed men that have been emotional scenes as children returned to that town and couldn't state. on sunday, 33 students have now been released, but 87 are still in captivity. omitted race reports from a video. the not after the organizing and emotional reunion for parents whose children tiers and hawk greed the youngsters now free and safely back with their parents. the like the joy too much. i can't quantify the joy,

god has done it. we said that if we go we will see our children and we have seen them as he has brought this child. he will bring the rest the but many of the parents have to return home and all the painful images for parents wondering if their children will ever be who is not something that he will even your enemies will experience will still have interest. i went to your back. so as lead us we attention should be on the you know, a new back. and then the parents of district its children should not take the edge within 2 till we are playing with them. we believe in that it will get well, but really it is not something that you will want to see. but as if it was only find our stuff, and we just have to ticket the student had been taken from the bethel high school, in the 10th must abduction from a school in northern nigeria. in the past 8 months,

nearly 1000 students have been kidnapped from boarding schools in nigeria. north in may, gunman invaded and islamic school in central nigeria and keep not 136 students in broad daylight. only 5 of them have so far been released. officious have denied paying ransom for kidnap victim, but many nigeria has done believe that some parents are known talk, negotiated directly, and paid rent them to the kidnappers. kidnapping for ransom is nigi. this past has growing criminal enterprise, carried out by gangs, and i'm gross including how many degrees in total and capital is running out of hospital beds for new code. 19 cases. the situation in bangkok is forcing health officials to dismiss patients before they completely recovered to accept most severe cases. people have been reportedly dying in their

homes because there was no space to treat them. more than 15300 cases were reported on monday. the highest figures in the pandemic began. now tony cheng joins us live from bangkok, attorney over the last couple of weeks. every time we've spoken, that figure of cases has gone up, gone up and been breaking records. and now a new grim record seems to be being broken and that's a lack of hospital beds. indeed it's a real problem the the hospital bed situation, particularly here in bank, open another urban centers around the country has been under a lot of strain for the last 3 months. and the last couple of weeks we've seen people being treated in hospital complex. as you mentioned, there have been reports of people dying in the hunt. and a couple of very well documented cases on social media. people that, that she died on the streets that within confirmed to be covered 19 cases and it is a really desperate situation of the type government. they have tried almost

everything they've locked down and that locked out and gets tighter and tighter every week. there is a growing anger because i think many people told the government to log down in april when we started to see this rise of cases. and as you just mentioned, they're going out now the hitting records almost every day. the government has our swan and boom airport, which is thailand's main international airport to open up its recently built 2nd terminal, which hasn't started use yet as, as an apple terminal to be converted into an emergency field hospital that when it's completed is said to be able to accommodate 5000 people, but the strain the, the health services on here in thailand. and maybe that's not even going to be enough. i think people who are being taken into hospital again when they're severe symptoms are over there being discharged, but they are still being told to isolate in their homes. but it is clearly a desperate situation. one which the government has not yet got to grasp on. well

let's talk about that over the last. busy few months, they have been these and he wrote family protests. are they likely to roll into protests about the growing defense, dissatisfaction, sorry with the government? well, they have been of the last couple of weekends. we've seen a fairly small but pretty fiery protest against the government. there was another one yesterday evening with marches, going to marching towards government house. a lot of times security and not that many people going out as they did last year because we've seen people just really concerned about the coven situation here. but i think as the sat situation eases, if it does, we're going to go and see more and more people coming out on the streets. but there is in the behind the scenes kind of power struggle. a lot of talk about dissatisfaction with the current prime minister general prior. i think there's a feeling here that he is a lame duck himself and there are problems in the administration. the problem with that is, even if you got rid of him,

the administration is going to be able to come up with a nice, easy solutions. they have already ordered vaccines from the united states, which are going to be coming in the 4th quarter of this year. but even that's not going to be an easy fix. they might choose to lockdown harder, but that's going to have a huge, much greater impact on the economy. the economy is already a really big problem. so even if he's replaced in the next few days and there's a lot of talk chit chat at the moment that that may well happen. there are going to be a lot of people who be very reluctant to step forward because at this stage there are no easy fixes. tony chang, they're in bangkok, thank you very much. so the head allowed 0 chinese state news that says high level talk to the u. s. i've opened with a tense exchange all the most in ivory coast up for world heritage status. what a mom tells us his story and why they must be protected.

through maintenance here on the ground as well as maintenance at advanced bases in our, in the central, in the central command theater. so all of those things will continue. so we will continue to support the afghan forces even after that 31 august day. it will generally be from over the horizon. how do you have true has more from washington dc, 95 percent of the u. s. u s. troop withdrawal has already happened. and president biden remains very much politically committed to meeting that august 31st deadline of getting all us boots out of the ground there. but there is concern, of course, that the vacuum that the u. s. leads behind is fueling some of this taliban insurgency and the top us general in cobble spoke with reporters on sunday saying that the u. s. has been supporting afghan troops with air strikes. so he would not say how long that support will remain. and general kenneth,

mackenzie said that it was not inevitable that the taliban would claim victory. he said that it would be clear in the next days and weeks whether the afghan army would be able to defend the country. though he said that would be a difficult road and he still voice confidence that there is a political solution still possible even though peace talks have stalled between the 2 sides. tony state tv is reporting a tense exchange. a high level talks involving the u. s. deputy secretary of state, wendy sherman is the most senior biden administration official to visit china. she's meeting foreign minister when you and vice foreign minister shoot thing. who's reported to blamed america for so much in relation. much though jim brown has more from hong kong. the good news is the 2 sides are sitting down to talk and remember when the showman won't just be meeting one year, the chinese foreign minister should also be meeting sure. fine. who is the man in

charge of us sino relation? so yes, it's good that they're facing each other, but the fraction relationship cannot be denied. they are fraught of the moment. they are in freefall. they were bad under you as president donald trump. they are in many ways even worse under president joe biden. so when the showman has to do, i think is to try and see if there's a way that the relationship can be better managed. ahead of these talks, a state department official said that they wanted to create a level playing field. they said that we welcome competition with china, but we want to avoid that competition veering into complex. so we want to see if there's a way of establishing guardrails. why are they meeting? well, just a few months. so now the g 20 summit will be held in rome, and of course it will be impossible to imagine the president joe biden and president changing would not sit down in such

a setting and talk. so these talks in a way, i think, are aimed at paving the way for that meeting. malaysia, parliament is holding a special session to discuss the government's corona virus plans offer a 7 month suspension due to the pandemic. the countries facing a new wave of infections fuel by the delta very and further straining the health care system. and as many as 20000 doctors are on strike demanding better contracts flores louis has more from call them poll. this is malaysia 1st parliament session this year. it's been described as a special setting. it's only going to last 5 days. and it's an opportunity for the government to brief politicians about the administration's pandemic response. now since january, when an emergency was less, it gave the prime minister wide ranging power, including the power to suspend the parliament and the power to introduce ordinances without going through legislative approval. now, but since then, corona virus cases have tripled. malaysia has now recorded more than

a 1000000 cases joomla. tiffany. the health care system is under to be a strain on top of that. on monday, thousands of government contract doctors are going on strike to protest against what they say are unfair contract for them. there are more people who need hospital can need to be looked often intensive care unit, much of the country is still under lockdown, and that's creating severe economic strain on many people who've lost the job. now the one thing that government has done right is to increase vaccination. it's managed to increase the vaccination speed very rapidly. malaysian now has one of the fastest rates in the world, but even then, but not seeing any signs that infections are coming down. there's no indication wendy economy will reopen or when the borders will open. and so many say that this is a sign that the government's corona virus responds, has failed and needs to be reconsidered. but many politicians fear that there won't be any opportunity during the special 5 day parliament sitting to do that.

organizes of the tokyo olympic games say more than 70000000 people and the host nation watched the opening ceremony. leading up to the games poles had more than 80 percent of japanese people opposed to holding the games. me well support for the japanese problem is that you're sure he'd sugar has dropped to 34 percent the lowest since he took office in september. now organize is a combined with digital sources. the popularity of the games grows every day. we need to add onto the component of digital consumption now, which in tokyo seems to be breaking records one day after the other. just to give you a simple example, our own platform talk your 2020 and olympics dot com. the day before yesterday was the best day in the history of digital platforms of the olympics. the day after was 20 percent more than the day after it was 20 percent more higher than what we had
