accused the military gender of making a severe outbreak even worth plus. i'm james bays and family and normally seen as the safe is providence and i've got a son in recent weeks. it seems tens of thousands of people fleeing conflict. ah, he is president, is accusing politicians of corruption and demanding the return of billions of dollars. he says was stolen from the public purse. i say it has dismissed more officials, including the chief of the national tv station. it comes just days after the froze parliament and assumed executive powers julian wolf for faults. the streets of tenicia, his capital are mostly com. but on wednesday the president again moved to tightened his control of the government. speaking in a televised interview, president k say he'd accuse politicians of corruption costing the country billions

of dollars. the money stolen from the tin is young people must be restored. a decision will be made to take measures against the perpetrators who have taken these public funds. we will deal with these people in a proportionate manner. that accusation is disputed by another. the largest party in the government coalition, donaldson, united nations. these have been raised by rival many years ago and repeatedly, to do this quite strict inside the funding and, and not always comply with the rule. never been any evidence of such florence on the tennessee as young democracy faces its worst crisis in a decade offered, the president ousted the government and froze parliament for 30 days. the president says he has acted constitutionally, but opposition leaders accuse him of staging. a qu one analyst says faith moves are

popular at least for now. the question is not the whether this is a core today or recent ball showing that 87 percent of tunisians they agreed with decisions of by size and 76 percent. they totally agree with him. so as we can see here, the decisions are really very popular of are these feasible? well, let's wait and see further afield. foreign leaders have been calling for cabinet, changes to be swift. the takeover comes amid crisis. the grown of iris pandemic is ravaging the nation, and the economy is in steep decline with the international monetary fond recently promised to help to niecy a cope with its growing financial pressure. the president has been calling on traders to cut the cost of goods, but even that these local shop owner, se won't do, has been here since the revolution life has become very difficult. the people can't

make due. although we still meet with low process. this market is cheaper and even in the market, people can't manage. and so residents wait to see whether the streets, which witness the jasmine revolution a decade ago, will remain silent. julian wolf, al jazeera of journalist sam kimball is in tunis with more on the president's moves . he says he's got a list of several 100 people that are accused of, of looting the countries wealth. those largely being politicians and members of parliament who, who his, who is immunity. he removed on sunday night. and in when he took some extreme measures, including the sacking of the prime minister, his embassy. and so he's his claim that the while the huge amounts of wealth have been taken from the country without giving the names or

exactly how it was done, he said that the country is not a beggar country, and it deserves a better future. so it seems to be, it seems to be a move to reassure those who may have doubts about these extreme measures that he's taken over the last several days along with fries and parliament, and dismissing the pm and numerous ministers that, that these, these powers of these actions being taken are for the good of the people and to needs and for years have been complaining about corruption and, and the flight of wealth from the country abroad as well as a deteriorating economic situation. so this seems to be a move to reassure those who had doubts about the actions he's taken. the last syrian government forces are continuing to strike a besieged district and that are in the south. the area and it's $40000.00

residents have been surrounded for more than a month, cut off from food and medicine brush and bank government troops. one, the opposition fights in the area to surrender their weapons and allow minute re, checkpoints to be set up. get more on this now with or so sort of in the stumbles. how's it looking in the south or well, simon, just early in the morning after the negotiations that were going on in the last couple of days failed the originally of forces stored into on, on the city. and so now the conflicts are still going on, the rebel forces are blocking the road and also burning the car wheels to start the regime out of and seeing into the city. and there are reports of the casualties local source to say that so far, 9 members of the region forces have been killed. why one civilian also died because of the mortar. shutting is coming from the coming from the region.

frustration is quite dire. they are 40000 people living in the barracks, in 2018. sammy that has been at reconciliation agreement led by russia and signed by the rebel forces and the syrian government. so that our ballard is one of the last remaining polices that is not still under the control of the regime. but based on the reconciliation agreement, 2018, the rebel forces were supposed to, on the hand over their heavy weapons. but recently the government to the pressure on them to handle all of their weapons and also some of their permanent figures also to be given to the regiment that had been a breaking point. and so after that, on june 24th, the regime took the city under the siege. and since dan hasn't been an access into

the city and out of the, the town as well. so now the, for the region loyal to the regime is in charge of conduct into operation. and iran reports that have been invested in this for the reason which is, which is managed by the president. the shuttle that says, brother, my head. so in that sense, we can talk about a growing difference between iran and russia as well because the reconciliation agreement has been forced by russia. and it seems that the iranian loyal forces overstepping russian interest in that sense. and also another important point is that the regime is back to the tactics to the besieged boom and force that forces into the submission. all right, thanks so much for the update or so thought about i os trailers entire olympic track and field teen went into wife violation after an

american athlete tested positive for coven 19 us pole. vaulter, sam kendricks has been ruled out of the competition, was on saturday. had been training with the stray leon poles all because his marshal, all members of the strive in team were tested and none has been infected. and the richard can joined us now from tow care. so that's not what, where does this leave then the track and field events in the clear it is for now, but it's, it's the high water acts. everybody here at these games is walking. let's just take you through what's happened. some kendricks are not just another athletes. he's making up the numbers here. he is a 2 time world champion in the polls. you want to bronze the rio games that he would have been a gold medal contender here in tokyo. he was training, obviously with other poles, isn't because of close contact with one of the australian team. it meant the entire

australian track and field seen briefly went into oscillation in the rooms. now the 3 athletes we had the closest contact with hendrix of how to follow up pcr to us today. they have come back as negative. so while the rest of the truck and field seem have now being released from isolation in that rooms, those 3, they will be out to train, but in between time they will be isolating in their rooms. and really, it just shows you how difficult it is for all the participants that these games that they know within a 2nd, a finding out that they're negative or close contact. the 5 years of build up to these games can go up in smoke and kendricks. unfortunately, is olympics his own was not over covey, though. it's worth stage so far in the country. what options are officials looking at if they want to get this situation under control? yeah, i can, i can tell you some we've just had the figures in for the took care of metropolitan

area, the 3865 new cases today. that's a jump on about $600.00. from yesterday that the highest, there's ever been taught medical adviser, he's saying the needs to be clear, a stronger message from the government to the people about the risks of coven on the delta variance. but interesting in tokyo, governor holding on with this line that this spiking cases isn't related to the olympics. and that is a line obviously being followed by elliptic organizes here as well. let's see from mark adams, the i, c spokesman. as far as i'm aware, there's not a single case of an infection spreading, the total population from, from the athlete. so big movement. so i can't really go go beyond that and, and simply say also that as far as i'm aware, also not a single severe case has occurred amongst our state cones.

well, adams is also said that in his opinion, the elite bunch of athlete staying in athletes, village of the most tested community in the world and that that bar secure bubble has not been broken. i think from the public's perspective, there is a great degree of frustration that on the one hand that being held here in so cal, under a state of emergency stay at home, don't come out to these olympics. but at the same time, the decision was taken for these games to carry on, and there's not slight cognitive dissonance. so on the one hand, yes, of course, they do want the japanese athletes to do well and to, to win gold medals as they are doing. but at the same time, they want to be able to question the wisdom of pushing on with these elim texts. all right, we'll leave it there. thanks so much. and the richardson still ahead on al jazeera, reversing the virus denying stance of her pre vein. is new president pushes ahead with a covert 19 vaccination campaign and teacher turned president. had castillo vows,

orders now extended until the end of august to fail to reduce new cases. compliance is patchy. us secretary of state entity blinking his meeting quite easily dissolved, arriving from india. the conflict in afghanistan has been high on the agenda during both visits. relations between the us and quite will also be discussed when lincoln needs the mere prime minister and other officials. the killing of a popular afghan comedian by the taliban is drawing international condemnation. knows how much kasha was also a police officer. he was abducted from his home and the whole province of video showing his treatment at the hands of fighters, sparked outrage, caught on spokesmen as reported. they said they'll investigate the killing. the un says thousands of internally displaced afghans arriving in by me on the following intense fighting and surrounding provinces. our diplomat. because the james phase might, some of those have been forced to flee their homes,

traveling with the un took by me, and it should take just over 4 hours to drive to this mountainous province. but the route is far too dangerous. now, once seen as the safest place in afghanistan, recent violence has seen the un recording over 47000 internally displaced people in recent weeks. dameion without doubt, has one of the best hospitals in the country funded by the aga khan. ah, but the hospital has been overwhelmed by people suffering. after walking for days through the mountains. wonder i left because the taliban had captured more districts. when we came here, all the people were on the run. they were fleeing. my husband works for the police and wasn't able to come with us. i took all 3 of my children to get some help, but i received no help. these are among 300000 people displaced across. i've got to stand since may. the un humanitarian coordinator is if there's no c spar,

things could get much, was my fear. unfortunately, something which gives me trouble to sleep. i think we will be looking at some of the war stretches which we have seen in the recent history. we traveled in the u. n . convoy out of town towards the mountain to school, built by the u. n. refugee agency, you and hcr. it was constructed to educate children returning from outside africa stun. instead, these kids all recently fled their homes inside the country. music opposite, quickly spread out that the government coming here, these women desk for help. after abandoning their villages one of them with them. they told us that the taliban are coming, so we fled from our homes. what could we do? we were in the barbara mountains and walked all the way. it was freezing there.

there was no food. so we were obliged to come here. there's a reason people here are so fearful. there's a long history of persecution, of the hazard, of the larger the sheer ethnic group that make up most of by me and population. they remember the taliban harsh rules in the 900 ninety's when they blew up the giant buddhist statues that stood for centuries in the sandstone cliffs. the united nations can only provide food and shelter when people 1st flee. we met this group of families who left their homes 3 months ago and then now struggling all living into small rooms. one of the problems is un humanitarian appeal is desperately undefended. they receive just 37 percent of the $1100000000.00 they need this year . what we've seen here, and by me, and it's just a snapshot of what's going on in many places in afghanistan, people on the move, fleeing conflict, human misery, that the un is warning,

could soon turn into humanitarian catastrophe. james bass. ouch is era, bobby, and province. i've got her is new, last is president, is promising big changes for a country ravaged by poverty and sickened by covert. 19 federal castillo has a tough battle ahead with political rivals and congress gearing up to derail will they see as a radical agenda. not an essential report from lima. with his wife lilia. by this look, a steel was at the center of a historic day. in the 1st farmer, a primary school teacher from one of the coolest districts in the country is pedro's new precedent is a premier k. this is the, this time that our country shall be governed by present appears like many of the peruvians from the suppressed classes. the 1st time that a popular party formed in the interior of the country as he had democratically

wearing his tweed mark hat from his home region of her medicaid, the north gaster. you are dressed congress in an hour long speech located, so we want to in the abuse of the monopolies of high prices, of basic services and energy and medicines. we want families economy more stable governance. you think his priority will be to tackle the pandemic? nearly 200000 peruvians have died of covert 19, and more than 3000000 lost their jobs. castillo said he'll distribute bonuses credits and support small businesses among other reforms, coming from one of the poorest districts in the nation. i see you told poor peruvians, he understands them. you don't get a pen killer who i want you to know that in my veins runs the pride and pain of peru. i'm a son of a country founded on the kind of my, an sisters and the lack of opportunities that my parents. in the bicentennial anniversary, they do some dependence. the new leader said he'll break with the colonial past.

for now proceed. and after you have decided not to live here at the presidential palace, the perception is that many who govern from here for got it was poor population. now kathy wants to change that around millions of peruvians who voted for him. expect a better distribution of produce wealth, a country with one of the highest levels of inequality in the region. and for so many years, the country has been mired in poverty, misery due to exploitation of thieving by politicians. that a brother, one of ours arrives at the government, gives hope to his old mini celebrated castillo, historic, new start. but it will be an uphill battle with an opposition that congress is likely. the new precedent will find a road blocks to implement were formed. the question is, peruvians desperate for change are willing to wait in us. i'm just sad to see that lima beta. and jerry and cord has acquitted the leader of

a band sham muslim group on charges including murder and unlawful assembly rahim zach zach. he has been in detention since 2015. he was arrested off the government forces stormed his slimy movement of nigeria compound and killed around $350.00 people. the group was banned in 2019 following demonstrations calling for vac sac. his release townsend has finally begun his cobit 19 inoculation campaign. president samuel lew hassan, received the johnson and johnson vaccine. she's working to overturn the policies of late previous esa. was a corona virus skeptic. catherine sawyer reports many times and he ends watched this moment with mixed feelings, that president, amir slew who has been getting how covet 19 johnson and johnson injection. a clear departure from the policy is implemented by how predecessor john mcgill fool who died in march from heart problems. was one of the handful of wild leaders who

downplayed the threat of the panoramic and shined world health organization called for masks and social distancing. he also rejected vaccines insisting the disease could be dealt with by prayer and local remedies. when president hassan was wanting, she said things would change. mean me ma'am. i am a mother of 4 children, a grandmother, a wife, and president and commander in chief of tens. and i would not take the vaccine and sacrifice my life if it was harmful. when i have all these responsibilities and people who depend on me, the country is in its 3rd wave of the disease officially has so far recorded only 29 debts and 858 cases. this is the beginning of a national vaccination campaign. health workers, the elderly, and those who the underlying conditions are on the priority least. tons and he has received more than a 1000000 johnson and johnson. those is the needed by the us through the world

health organizations, callbacks initiative. we are not late because even other develop nations like europe, usa still vaccinating. so i think we all came to me. yeah. got more chunk of our community and the others will be able to take it and those who will not like everyone else. it's a personal decision. now in africa, only retract and wounded are not vaccinating, but fewer than 2 percent of the african population has been jobs, and it's highly unlikely. the continent will meet a w to target vaccinating 10 percent by september. this is partly because of a shortage of accents blamed on western nations holding millions of doses and anti vaccine sentiments, often fueled by conspiracy theories and mistrust. i'm not on my site because i know there we go to the side effects. so the like in, in been to menu room as much so i think i'll dread the look as see what had

been to them and that's been, i'll be ready. all be willing to panza near is while behind many countries in vaccination rape. by the government's days, it has set aside $470000000.00 to secure more deuces and hopes we knocked 60 percent of its population. as soon as possible. captain sawyer ology 0. ah, let's take you through some of the headlines down to new jersey as president is accusing politicians of corruption and demanding the return of billions of dollars he says was stolen from the public purse. i say it has also dismissed the head of the national state television. on wednesday, journalist sam kimball is in tunis with more on the president's moves. he says he's got a list of several 100 people.
