overwhelmed by the corona. virus pandemic facing one of africa, worst outbreaks. hospitals are overcrowded and under resort. and on saturday, says he reported a record 317 deaths from the virus. so many the countries deepening, economic and social problems have undermined support for democracy. some critics say that's very democracy is now in danger. so to have that, i'll just there are latin delilah joins us now on the line from tunis. what's the latest on the streets? right? now, well, supporters of can use in prison case i have gathered in front of the parliament the early morning hours, then following the calls of the leaders. another supporters are gathered in the from the front of the parliament as well. there have been small clashes between the 2 groups, but their police is always in the middle,

dispersing them. and they are just insulting each other and be 3 in each other. she had of another party and the parliament speaker wasn't alone in the parliament by the army soldiers last night. but now he's in the front of the parliament. we are the leaders protesting the prime minister. she, she didn't show up since yesterday, while he was visiting a vaccination center. he was reported detained in the presidential palace, but now no one knows weighs. there have been rumors also that the airport is international and put off to to shut down, but it's still operating normally and airplanes are still landing. we didn't see the president as well since yesterday night when he visited the main seat of the capital b for dba and met with his supporters. i thanks so much for the update that i leave

there. let's go to mohammed val, now he's covered today extensively for us. so let's start with the basic question of what happened is this being seen as a coolness? when some people are speculating about this, people are waiting to see arrests and you know, hide people hiding like a prime minister has been hiding since yesterday. we don't know whether that was a 1st hiding or whether it was his own choice. the president also hasn't shown up since yesterday, so it's, it's a very, very unclear situation. and people can decide now whether this is a military call from the top or whether it is like a constitutional or otherwise unconstitutional. moved by the president, as you can see now, we have 2 groups in front of the parliament, both the group suppose and think of a ledge that beta presents the people of tenicia. this is very dangerous, particularly when the clash is continuous. some classes are already taken place,

so it is very, very dangerous situation. now. everything can happen during the last, during the next few hours. as i said, it's very difficult to decide whether this is a cool or not cool because not clear yet whether arrest tough been made, whether the military is involved. and that's the, that's other tuition stands out. now according to the, i think the statement which the president made and put on facebook that paula will resume in 30 days. how though, what will happen to the prime minister? so the cabinets will, they come back into the picture where the president has it? and now the fees go to appoint a new government, and that's very, very controversial as well. because if, according to many people in communities on constitution, the constitution has this has been very clear lines about this. and also after 30 days, what is going to happen? we know that the governments itself, the crisis in the government is not from yesterday or from today's has been going

on for some time when the, when he refused to swear. in 11 minutes or so with half a government functioning and the squabbles between the prime minister, who was, by the way, appointed by, by the president himself just a year ago from now. he did not represent any political party. that's what was another christ that was going on another also another squabble was going on at the same time between the she she the late prime minister and the other party and the other components. we have a divided tunisia where everyone claims that he's, that a preventative of the people are teenager. we have people protesting in support of the president people protesting against the decision of the president. it looks like the president is, is he has been accused for a long time of being a populous leader, an outsider who doesn't belong to any political affiliation. and now he's trying to assure that position, try to say to people, i don't care about the details of the constitution id thought. i care about one thing in the constitution. and that is the sovereignty of the people of tenicia. he

has to prove that he really presents the why the aspirations of the nation public to be able to push his reforms or his changes. all right, thanks so much. mohammed valvor record number of women and children have been killed or injured in afghanistan in the 1st 6 months of this year. the u. n says nearly 1700 civilians died during that period. it says f galveston is of course to see the most civilian deaths since it stopped keeping records in 2009. charlotte bellis reports from cobble its been less than 3 months since mohammed nobody's daughter. re hannah dykes. she was 16 and an identical triplet with his sisters in yellow or bray her wanted to be a doctor, but she was killed in an attack at his school. and may, i didn't know if i'm putting on the physician. i was the 1st one to get to the

because otherwise we do think based on the data that and the figures and the record levels that we've seen of the 1st 6 months of this year. that these will just keep increasing the number of the family empathize with the thousands of vaskins who's also buried a love one this year. but they cannot empathize with the perpetrators never. she is unlimited. the mother of action. no, i cannot forgive them. my wife cannot re hon. his sister's cannot forgive. it's something unforgivable. he says, after re hon, his death and his security worsens. the families looking to leave s gonna some the you in is also worried saying is fighting lose rule areas into cities. the result could be catastrophic. charlotte bellis al jazeera cobble fell ahead and i'll just

sarah lebanon and begin the latest attempt to form a new government as the country continues to struggle under an economic crisis. a ban on importing fertilizer inch for lanka, causes anger to grow among pharmacy. say it's killing the livelihood. ah, ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored by kettle airways. there's an increasing area of central northern europe, which is prone to slow moving heavy showers. it's always massive clarity boiler, sickly around itself, and several areas of circulation just came for if you like. it's a bit of a messy picture, but the result is this. as you saw yesterday and soften day before belgium, it'll be somewhere else today. i'm show, this is something like 4050 millimeters of rain falling in short my time and yet

flooding from that during monday that could happen again in england. more like you may be in denmark, possibly soc norway, the north of italy, any where you see the blue center? it's slow moving, heavy shouts around the edges to around to be warm. the rain, the eastern side of spain for the day, for the was a good part of the sneer attempt in the thirty's that he looked due to tuesday. and this adds to the likelihood of flooding through denmark's of norway and southern sweden. this is where the blue centers equal we got shares moving into that i was out of poland and is the heat that you get enhanced convection, big thunderstorms. the same is also true in the final phase to turkey and in western ga us where the rain is otherwise turkey's fine is still hot in cyprus, but the breezes coating things for many sponsored per cattle airways. when freedom of the press is under threat, you know how you just con thought,

genuinely about your thoughts toward the baking government step outside the mainstream. there hasn't been a implement here just some of access ports, the internet shift, the focus, the pandemic, that's turned out to be a handy little prefect. the prime minister clamped down on the press covering the waves. the news is covered for listening post on i just need the the while come back, you're watching out just 0 time. totally. capital headlines now are all demonstrations in to news. here after the president dismissed the prime minister and froze parliament for 30 days to begin. let's be on the policy is calling it

a qu, supporters of both the or not, the policy and president type of gather about 5 common 2021 is set to be the bloody is here on record enough gonna stand. the un says nearly $1700.00 civilians were killed in the 1st 6 months of the year. that's the highest death called since it started keeping russell in 2009. go back to our top story now. the political turmoil into news. yeah. robert, by the way, is a journalist spaced into this. she joined us by skype from that good to have you with us. so 1st of all, is it clear exactly what is happening with parliament? a lot of discussion about whether the president's move is constitutional. whether he's suspended it dissolves or whether the parliament will meet regardless of what he decrease. hi, good to be with you today. show like the street like the chinese in the parliament

is also divided today between the majority leading parties in department like and doing this and who elation. who gold and describe the decision of the price? i quoted, you tional dictatorship. why? again, he said this decision at the same time, some deputies in the parliament uploaded his decision. but let's say the majority in the parliament are against his decision and even the democratic court and according to supported prism cited during the election in 2019 they are now against the decision. that's why i say that you need to have democracy is leaving it biggest today because the street is divided also the parliament is divided and we are still waiting for the decision of what you need in general labor. why are

now having a meeting? so we have to divide it political parties, but also at the same time we have divided divided this 3 people now are clashing in front of the parliament between the supporters of another party and supporters of the size and angel. now nothing is clear and we are leaving really critic krusik more when you hear what sort of stands are security forces taking know they are trying to divide between the protestors who are in front of the parliament. but yesterday, at night when the president of the parliament, russia gotten her new, she tries to answer to the parliament, the army said, okay, you are the president. the problem is, but we are doing our job, we can let you in. so i will say that probably the army is

starting, although the prison side and i think it's, it's normal, but it's always we struggle with the army as neutral and objective. so i would say that they only enact would be decisions. they don't have any political or preference. so the neutral and objective also now and what about the national labor union? is it clear yet? what kind of stance they will take, which can be very decisive in these kinds of situation? i think they will also just for prism kind of sign you lex reminders that a few months ago they called for a national back to saw the political crisis. so mostly most of the time, general labor are supporting wisdom side. and i would say that even now they really feel for pain again the majority party in the parliament. but at the same time,

i think they will have some remarks regarding some decisions that prison took. and they probably will call for the appointment of the new prime minister because the priority now is to appoint a new brian minister and also to act on to call for new measures. a still still not. we don't, we don't have a nose or decrease that we'll be able to need rules to continue, but we are waiting for extra odo new measures to see what will happen. and nature writes about by the way, that thanks so much the philippine president is delivering his last day to the nation address these a lot of pictures from manila or the regular detect a is that the podium was small demonstrations ahead of his speech. people have been unhappy about run a virus restrictions this saturday,

so cold war on drugs and its weight in nations, german and dog is imminent. now with the latest. so what kind of messaging are we getting from the president? well, there are expectations that not much will change, or there won't be much difference between his last day to venetian speech. and the one last year we've been told by his representative is spokesperson. this speech is likely to last about an hour. but what makes this particular speech or event difference is that there is a sense that, you know, everything is somehow or sir there are less processors here outside near the philippines congress. that is because the government just recently announced that there is already local transmission in several communities of the $900.00 delta via for those to support the president. those who are inside congress and outside. they look back at his speech with nostalgia. this'll be the last date of the nation's

speech, of a president who was really unlikely to become president months before he was born into the presidency, but also oppose the president. they say that the ends of it just can't come fast enough when he was born in the office. he promised and the presence of crime and corruption within the 1st 6 months of this term. he promised and social injustice within 2 years of office 2 and communist insurgency in 20182019 basically to have a new parliamentary form of government. none of this family have been achieved in fed book fair. the whole, the distinction of the only fitting philip in president to be examined by the international criminal court for crimes against humanity. and you know, he's someone who's always projected to be, you know, someone was reluctant to say and hold on to power. but over the last few weeks, he admits that he's looking at running for the vice presidency and possibly building his own daughter to run for the presidency. even also admitting that he

hopes that this will help him be more in you and possibly for legal cases that he will most likely faith when he steps down from office. right, jim and doug, and then thanks so much. now thailand's capital is running out of hospital beds for new cove with 19 cases, hospitals in bangkok hall having to discharge patients before they completely recovered. that frees up space for more severe cases. people have been reportedly dying in their homes because there's no space to treat them. more than $15000.00 cases were reported on monday, the highest figure since the pandemic began lebanese president michel hour has begun meetings to try and form a new government. if confirmed no g mccarthy will become prime minister, designate a reply sided had 80 who stepped aside last week when the government wasn't approved. lebanon has not had a functioning administration for almost a year, and people are struggling with an economic crisis center that has more from beirut

. the president is holding consultation to members of parliament in order to appoint a new prime minister. the candidate who receives the majority of votes will be appointed later today. there is already a favorite candidate and that isn't a g at the a man who has served the prime minister in the past. now, the biggest question is, will he be able to form a government? he will be the 3rd prime minister to be named since the government resigned august last year, his the 2 previous prime ministers. they stepped aside after failing to form a government after failing to resolve disagreements with the president michelle alone. now whether or not this time will be different, it's still unclear because miss massey is going to be making the same demands as history or a saw the how do you, the but lebanon is in desperate need for a government in order to carry out reforms in order to negotiate a bailout plan with the i m f. the state is nearly bankrupt. there's

a shortage of fuel. there's a shortage of diesel. there's a shortage of medicines and medical supplies because this country imports almost everything and it lacks dollars. even hospitals are saying that they can no longer rely on their generators because of the fuel shortage. so it's really desperate times for this country. we have to wait and see whether lebanon's, rival politicians, will put aside their own interests for the interests of the nation. but so far there is no indication that there will be a quick agreement on the next cabinet. now this rank and government has banned chemical fertilizer impulse to save millions of dollars a year. the strict clamp down comes at a time when the countries phone reserves have fallen dangerously low. those michelle fernandez reports from over the movies, impacting the livelihoods of farmers. janica was on phase worried, the potential for my injury long because we're putting a gun region says he use less than half the usual amount of chemical fertilizer on

his crop. i'm often invited, i'm going to have to buying a bit of fun and the growth of the plants is affected. usually by this time harvesting. about 7 months or $75.00 days after planting the area is covered by the plants. but this time the growth is follow me. yeah. as across the country have been protesting the shortage of chemical fertilizers since the government been employed in me in because the sun i could successful greenhouse farmer has had to cut down his crop as well. he says, farmers should have been consulted about the ban. evan oscar level when asked when things are being changed, they must consult us, make us aware of how things will change. the scott help us is going to be done. the band and fertilizers come during an economic crisis that has like a badly it's for in reserves have fallen below $4000000000.00. people incomes has suffered since easter bombings of 2019. and the corona virus pandemic,

as were in the situation, the government is under pressure to find the money to pay back billions of dollars in debt. saw that's one of the reasons prison. good roger pastor says he's government been the importer of dozens of items, including anger, chemicals. we offer 180000000000 repeat. 80000000000 repeat these watch these countries spins just to import fertilizer. who does it's money? go to? the money goes to companies abroad. there are only 4 to 5 local companies making money from this. but the decision we talk will make this industry into a local industry. the president says he will not back down on the fertilizer ban, which he says is also aimed at improving the health of citizen, many of whom are struggling to make ends meet. a government blitz of money printing has driven up inflation, which is the central bank,

but at 6 point one percent of daily journey lost her income because of the pandemic . if you are a pensioner, the interest rates are low and your income has come down. you're lucky if you have a permanent job, but without 11th is to get an income. income is limited, expenditures are rising. the can make situation is creating a challenge for millions of shill anson. i might be able to find out it's very difficult to survive because we have to spend more than what we own back informing country communities. a bracing the smaller harvest and a major impact on income. one firm, a leader, has an even more di, warning on america farmable, manage the season with whatever fertilizer and chemicals they bought, a higher prices. but i say with responsibility that we clearly going toward food shortages, that certainty, even god can't prevent that. most farmers agreed the plan to cut down on chemicals use is a good thing, but say the sudden decision is not practical. the ban on agro chemicals is part of

a government clamp down on what it cause non essential import during a serious foreign currency crisis. farmers said the hope for savings will be challenged by food shortages. minute fernandez. i was 0 valley meta. now at the tokyo olympics, there's the mall skateboarding success for the host nation. 13 year old moment g and this year from osaka to gold in the women's st. final, following up on you to give me a gold medal in the men's event on sunday. and this year was joined on the podium by 2 other teenagers. when takes japan's gold medal tally to 6 level with china and the top of the table. ah, and let's take you through some of the headlines now. there are demonstration.
