is far wider than any one thought. ah, this is al jazeera. ah, it's just gone $1300.00, gmc hello, and come on santa maria. this is the news. our knowledge of the security force of keeping the peace in tennessee. while it's revealed, the biggest political party is not the center of an investigation. also an influx of afghans fleeing the fighting in their homeland and rescued at sea. while the president outlines of vision for the future were hanging refugee killed in a land line triggered by heavy rains on the camp in bangladesh and the tiny kingdom high in the himalayas that says its backs and aided 90 percent of its adults

against cove. at 19, in a week on the richardson at the tokyo olympics west stall, gymnast simone biles has pulled out of a 2nd event in order to focus on her mental health. ah, hello room. there's a new turn into new political crisis this wednesday with revelations 3 parties are being investigated. the judicial inquiry was opened in the middle of this month, actually a week and a half before president high said use his emergency powers to both dismissed the prime minister and free parliament. though the case doesn't appear linked to those actions that very much puts more pressure on the president's main. opponents judges are looking into whether the and asked the party, the largest in the governing coalition, and others wrongly received foreign funds before the elections back in 29. him,

sam kimball, joining us from june, is to talk through this and other events. hi them. the timing is interesting here. it looks bad for now that, but actually this was already on the way, you know, 10 days before the president used as power. yeah, the, the timing is, is raising a lot of questions and i would say among the timing also look bad for, for the president. just to give a little background. the local media is reporting as of today that there's been an announcement that an investigation into 3 parties and a 20 party, as well as the heart of 2, need their parties with the open on the 14th of july. that's a full 2 weeks ago. and it's only being announced today and being announced today, just about 3 days after the news in president took some extraordinary measures

and sac to the news in prime minister and for parliament as he stated. so whether this is just a coincidence, it's unclear, but it seems like there is a possibility that there was some that there were some kind of back to our dealings going on around, you know, sidelining some of these parties. and also, and also opponents, like like the prime minister. and it's, it's also important to note actually that, that there been investigations going on for years into multiple institution in the country like the truth and dignity commission, as well as the national airlines. but only now these investigations are being reopened into the political party. so some, some figures in the country are asking, well, why now? is this a calculated move? targeting particular political party? well, it all adds up to the facts and the president really is in total control now isn't

a frozen the parliament and i'm guessing no real sign of changing that or of there being some sort of intern prime minister or interm government. well yeah, that's an important point. so officially the parliament is frozen for 30 days. that's what's been announced. the as far as interim prime ministers to fill the spot of the prime minister. his him received with back on, on sunday and and then i believe gave a formal resignation on monday if i'm not mistaken. the, there is nothing clear about who will step into that position. there's chatter online of various names, but really there's, there's, there's no clear successor set set up. no one has even been nominated. so yet certainly a period of, of great flux and lack of clarity and making

a lot of people very worried about it. if there will be a successor for the prime minister, even in an interim position, more right, that's sam kimball in tunis. thank you, sam. i now, yes, nina of is a who's, who is a visiting fellow at the brookings heart center and the european council on foreign relations. jasmine. nice to have you with us. mean sam is outlined there for us to complete. well, it's a vacuum now, isn't it? there is no elected power. well, there's the president, but he's basically exerting the executive power over the whole country now. well yes, i think your earlier point, the reason there some god about whether in the country to move to investigate these parties is that quote and not the and hard to just party parliament had a huge presence the president couldn't talk after you listed minister and this is where people are wondering at the timing of it. however, i would say that since we know that medication started on july 14th,

and because the change to sherry has always been well controlled and dependent, there is no reason i should think that they're being biased right now for their being empowered on your own. you know, main people on the ground do not consider this vehicle. it's all in the negative sense. the president to the emergency powers following a year long power struggle between himself, including the prime minister and the party. and the power struggle had made it very difficult or impossible should pre on and implemented forms when he had done does she actually received a lot of support from an on the actual observation. she knew the capitol and in other cities and these extraordinary measures don't necessarily suggest that the probably does making a power grab or. ringback the country backsliding into training,

i think it's which really to say things like this. now it's a good point to make the fact that they was all that support on the street for this move, wasn't there even so what we're left with is a frozen parliament. and now that under more pressure and inasmuch calling for fresh elections, do you think there is any chance or something like that happening in the manner has called for elections? and i think the way they did before before training takes over. and here we're talking about really legislative as well as the national actions, however, and also demanding that problem to the before and us takes place. so i think will happen. i think we should consider several scenarios. first, maybe we'll point you from here even though as you're calling at we don't know who who that would be right now. and then he would allow it to go as follow, or he may attempt to constitutional settlements and he may attempted, we know he's in favor of this. and this means that she would employment assorted

presidential system that limits the powers rule for extent. and then he would follow this up through the referendum on the constitution as was to a different election. and this was consolidate the powers and batch. and i think the 3rd scenario is that he may very well bring in other political actors beyond the parties. for example, the powerful issues and the general labor union, and they may start with dialogue when start fresh and decide on a new compromise. is it also worth remembering the important but also sorry to interrupt your? yes. is it so with remembering and, and it's not to sound condescending at all, but that to newsies democracy is still very young. and in 10 years they've gone from a coup to elections, to a new constitution, to the situation that we have. now this is in some way, part of the whole process. yes, and i can job to the right and, you know,

a lot of people are holding this new democracy to the standards of the market of existing for centuries now. and we need to give them some time for this policy, for even the current one. we also need to look out for the reaction to the community, especially those actors. we've been very much involved in the democratic transition . but i think it's way too early to make predictions on whether democracy will fail or things like that. yes me now is a who are talking to new jersey with us very fast moving situation there. thank you . yasmina you for having me. ah. that's. so that's kind of where the president shuts down the has been outlining his vision for the future of the country. his speech though, was pretty light on t hale, about how the government actually plans to counter territorial gains by the taliban,

which have and continue to be extremely significant. have a look at the who controls what mat from out to 0 dot com. what you're looking at is blue areas being where the government is in control. yellow areas, dark yellow, where the town has held control since may and the slightly lighter yellow areas. i guess if you're looking at there since the last 3 months, what it all means is that 50 percent of the country is now under taliban control. though i would point out that 50 percent of the territory not necessarily 50 percent of the population centers. but when we changed the map and have a look, a little bit closer, just look around the edge of this map all the crossings border crossings in and out of afghanistan from this map, there are only one to 3 which are under government control. the rest of them all these other ones now under taliban control, most importantly down there, spin bolduc, which is now under taliban control, and the revenues coming from that crossing. i'm now going straight into the taliban

. well, let's get more from charlotte bellis. it has this report now from campbell. the northern city of telecom is surrounded by telephone fighters, the more than one month. it's people have withstood wave. the tech's residence now armed and afghan security forces are united in trying to keep vices out of the city . well, maybe if i want to go to make it up to him, i hope i'm not captured. we've been attacked more than 10 times here. we've beaten them and push them back. don't lose your morale and get it governess. telephone no controls, large areas of rule less ghana stone, including more than half of the countries districts as ask and security forces, attempt to slow the televisions. momentum in a nationally televised address, president gunny had a message of diplomacy with articulated a widely supported program for a brick from an all out war to jesse and lasting peace to

shaking could barely now that i've just never felt like this going into a competition before. and i tried to go out here and have fun and warm up in the back when a little bit better. but then once i came out here, i was like no mental is not there. so i just need to let the girls do it and focus on myself. all athletes arriving at east delayed olympics faced unique external pressures from dealing with unprecedented levels of social media scrutiny to the fit of a positive covey. 19 test. boyles had also set a self, a task of becoming the 1st female gymnast to win 5 gold medals. at a single games, the athlete normally doesn't have a voice, nor does an athlete trust their voice. she not only has a voice which i love, but she also trusts her voice and she knows she's going to get a little bit of backlash from fans. and, you know, people are like, how could you let your team down or whatever, but the best thing she can do is shut off all this outside,

chatter. anything that's not coming from her own head or from her support system need not need not be heard earlier this year. japan spool thing simply start and i me, i 2nd took a payment right from playing top level tennis. she said she no longer wants it to the press conferences in order to protect her mental health. she also admitted the having prolong bouts of depression ever since winning her 1st grand slam title in 2018. it brought a temporary help to her career, but did start an important conversation in her home country. think in japan, we don't. we still don't talk about mental health. and when now, meal soccer came out with the issue. there's been lots of comments, negative comments on her, and i believe that was also kind of exaggerated with the gender issue. after her unexpected loss. at these games, i saw her admitted to feeling weighed down by the pressure of playing in homer.

lympics biles may yet compete in next week's individual event finals. regardless, this pair of champion athletes a leading the way in showing the world. it is okay to talk about mental lows as well as sporting highs on the richardson al jazeera, tokyo. and later in the news, our faro will be speaking to a sports psychologist about the mental person's face by olympic athletes. now terabyte in has warned that significant cyber attacks could trigger an actual war. us president made those remarks while speaking to intelligence personnel. cybersecurity become a top priority for the bind administration because hack because they getting ever more sophisticated and brazen. for example, in may a so called ransomware attack on us soil pipeline disrupted fuel supplies. the company paid millions to get it systems back, though much of that was recovered. an attack on the us technology company impacted businesses worldwide, including a swedish supermarket chain which had to close the doors. and earlier this year,

hack has broke into the software company, solar winds compromising u. s. government agencies. officials blamed russia for that. you know, we see how cyber threats, including ransomware attacks, increasing they're able to cause damage and disruption in the real world. i can't guarantee this and you're as informed as i am, but i think it's more likely we're going to end up when we end up in a war. i real shoot even more. when the major power it's going to be as a consequence of a cyber ridge, of great consequence is increasing exponentially capabilities. and see if a mat warren, director of a strategy as our mit university center for cyber security research and innovation . the u. s. may find conflict unavoidable if the cyber attacks intensify. a video shows the escalation of cyber warfare. so cyber wolf as being part of what's called

hydrate warfare. so in terms of physical activities, as well as fi back to the piece of code like thought to be an arch light disinformation. now with the in the possible impact of the massive cyber attack on what is called critical infrastructure of the us. and what the government's us government is saying is if these attacks occur, and the attribution can be linked to a nation state that they could be physical retribution for those attacks. it's going to change up the profile of also because. busy in terms of critical infrastructure, it's quickly the structure for the entire population that civilian or military. what we're now seeing is the beckoning ation of cyber attacks, focusing on particular parts of governments around the vote. the systems

initiate, we see water supply systems attacked by hackers in florida, from instance, you could have real consequences, you know, whether power and water are disrupted for a long period of time in major majors. so the capitals may defend to the population . so we really are at a turning point, what we're seeing is the boys who grants, who gangs up and want them after his payments. he quit. so come and see so they can more easily hide those payments and transfer. busy them because of the block chain aspect of it. the, the problem that you have is those meant some way, gangs them based mainly in russia and they use in geography to protect them because the russian government isn't take it actually get those ransom madsen, red gangs. they all shut down their operation. that's going to check on your world
