come a day after announcing new corona virus rules and restrictions in the u. s. and the remote colombian coastal town that becoming crowded with refugees and migrant travel ah, emergency crews and turkey are still trying to control the biggest fire in the region which have killed at least 4 people. been burning for a 3rd straight day while dozens of villages and hotels have been evacuated. cruise numbering more than 1000 have been involved in the operation. at least 14 wildfires of burning and satellite images show the extent of those wild 5 at least 5 planes and 45 helicopters a being used to put out the flame spreading across more than a 1000 sites. us and you, nations have extended their support to turkey,

who then who sold low reports that please terrify and the throwing everything in their path for the 2nd day firefighters. have the best thing. blazes in the coastal town of mars homes, hotels in an area popular with taurus, all evacuated as the fires continue to rage in mono. got some 6 to 5 kilometer this. the fans out here in fair no, has been added that lives claiming the lives of an 82 year old men and a married couple who died in their home. dozens of fires at cross 17 provinces have been burning a cross southern turkey in the past few days. stokes, by soaring temperatures and fierce winds, who challenge for the more than 4000 firefighters hoping to engage in the fight to control the flames. it by international effort. you can go to stimulus

will, were fighting the fires were 45 specialized helicopters, and 5 planes. we brought from russia and ukraine and following a telephone conversation with us by john. they will send another plane that will be very useful and we'll work powerfully and quickly to extinguish fire. drones also being used for reconnaissance officer will say the blazes are gradually being brought under control investigations are now under way into how these disastrous fire started. the authorities have not ruled out to sabotage the wildfires are one more natural catheter row for the country, which has already had to contend with drought and marine waste clogging up parts of the coast this year. and other environmental blow that will require a swift and serious solution seen, i'm console the on 20. when i saw thought of the live for us from and i've gotten antalya province jones's from there are. so let's start with the situation. do emergency cruise, believe they're getting close,

at least to controlling the blaze. well, sammy, there are 85 different locations that had there been a 4 foot fire, but 74 of them are under the control. but this is just full of surprises. the ground here because the heat is so high and just why do waiting here for lies just in front of us that has been another blaze just fell on the fire and it's, it's just the key right behind us. you can see that the fire still going on. sometimes the places that have been taken under the control and couple of hours later is just starting again and again. and the helicopters are, get into what the, from the mediterranean and just pulling their over these hot zones. so it's too early to say that it is under the control and more than pounds of the locations feel the fires are going on. and we can see that they did that,

it's really a little bit distress miss, very much security here because that the see it at the tourism season and more than 10 thousands of people are trying to extinguish all of this, this fire houses of people. how being created and hundreds of withers have been created. hundreds of all the people are just in my now got more than 30 more than 273 people are in the hospital. so it's full of the surprises. and we just need to wait and see what's going on, but add $7085.00 different locations spontaneously since one is they, there is a fire for us. and the investigation is also on the way. because in previous years, they have been in cases that the low peak i k have said the fight or some of the forest. and the government has initiated a investigation and seen that the p. k is the usual suspect here

because the government appears to be that may be, that is a sub with us. that is just the just going on because it's not only added to the, the mediterranean coastal cities, but even at the central anatolia cities like color case, it also has been, there has been the forest fire. so in that sense, regarding this conceptual evidence is the government believes that maybe the p k. k is behind beds, there's the forest fires that is just going on across the country. all right, we'll leave it there. thanks so much for. so start about trying to is trying to contain its most widespread cobra 19 outbreak in month earlier this month. a cluster of infections caused by the highly contagious delta variant. first detected in non ging since then it spread to 6 of the provinces, the capital beijing,

and one of the world's largest cities. chunking millions of people are being tested in hundreds of thousands around the locked down. the world health organization says current virus infections worldwide have increased by 80 percent in the past month. in parts of africa, the number of deaths has doubled in that period. the w h o is warning countries against the spread of the delta varian, now detected in more than 130 countries for regions on our risk. but none more so than africa. on current trends, nearly 70 percent of african countries will not reach the 10 percent vaccination target by the end of september. around $3500000.00 to $4000000.00 are administered weekly, on the continent, but to meet the september, to get this months tries to $21000000.00 at the very least it week.

many african countries have prepared well to roll out vaccines. but the buttons have note around the u. s. president is warning further guidelines or rules could be introduced after a surgeon cove. at 900 cases becomes a day after you now type a rules for unvaccinated government employees. joe biden was asked if americans can expect more restrictions. all probability, by the way, we had a good day yesterday, almost a 1000000 people got back about half a 1000000 of those people for the 1st 5 2nd shot. and so i'm hopeful that people are getting to realize how it sent me. nigerian sprinter blessing aka berry has been suspended from the tokyo olympics after failing a drug test. the 32 year old to one long jump silver in 2008 tested positive for

growth hormone. she had qualified for the 100 meter semi final on friday. 10 track and field athletes were ruled ineligible to compete 3 days ago after failing to meet min and testing requirements go live to correspond an andy richardson and turkey. how big of a deal is this becoming andy? yeah, we got so used to talking about positive coverage. 19 tests is bit of a change to talk about test band substances, but it hints to an underlying problem in nigeria. as you mentioned, 10 athletes that already arrived in tokyo and the build up to these games with hold with very short notice that they wouldn't be allowed to take part in elim fixed because the national federation just hadn't done the required pre competition drug testing. it's a huge blow finance area. 13 of the 25 metals they've ever wanted to know lympics

with track and field. so not having b 's athletes and not having a cabal. right? taking part is a massive blow fit for their chances of winning any metals. hey, in tokyo test is saying they're going to conduct around $5000.00 tests during the games here in japan. perhaps more importantly in the build up $25000.00 test had taken place in countries all around the world, targeting not just truck and failed, but all of the olympic sports. and it's normally the most pre competition tested to bring more positive cases in the test that actually take place here in japan. of the code 19 has created a lot of challenges for testers. we're talking to the athletics integrity and it's in the build up to the games. and they said at one point during the peak of covered the testing rights with down 75 percent because of difficulties of accessing athletes. but that is now that situation is now improving. also with mentioning for the 1st time at these games,

it won't be the host nation in charge of the testing operation has been done by an independent body international testing agency. so to the sanctioning that's not being done by the international olympic committee will be done by the court of arbitration for sport. so a huge effort to try and the politicize, the issue of doping and make it as fair as, as possible for all athletes. and the, let's talk about simone biles as well. what's happening with how we're going to see her again, this again, is looking increasingly unlikely. she's pulled out of 2 more finals. there are still 2 more events she could compete in later in the games. the us olympic seems saying they're going to continue to evaluate sir, on a daily basis. she's been active on social media. she was talking to fans in the last 24 hours talking about what's known in gymnast existed, twist these in gulf. they call it the way your mind and body get out of sink. and regardless of what your mind is telling your body to do,

it will not oblige. and she actually is she put out some footage of her on social media showing her landing on her back when she was mentally landing on his feet coming off the uneven bar. so she clearly doesn't look close to being ready to compete. but she has, once again, brought out this issue of mental health in sport, making it more accessible for pamphlets to talk about it. we've seen today the english international character, ben's folks saying he'll be taking an indefinite bright from the game to focus on his mental well being. and just generally speaking of these games, the athletes have been on the huge pressure. these gang delayed by year upsetting that preparation covered 19 is as many that training plans into complete chaos. and of course, all of them living under that cloud that a, a positive test to cover 19 good and that gold medal hopes at a moment's notice. we'll leave it there. thanks so much. and the richardson now, in the news ahead thailand seems to deliver vaccines to remote regions as it
