6:09 pm
al jazeera, thank you. when is the executive director of the boma human rights network and he claims the military is trying to fool the international community. when the military power, the said that they are going to conduct the election very soon, but in one year, but not only 3 and the same way, they are dragging the time bit by bit. so the, the main, the key point here is they are not going to leave the power to the people, you know, the people who voted for the, into the 20 for the, you know, and the puppy is standing on their, on their commitment. and they're still, we are supporting to any government who is supported by all their minority and majority population. but the point is to see that the military is trying to fool
6:10 pm
international community head or u n. g in, in september. so they're trying to show that they give a government and just to make sure showing the, get them in the but, but the actually the people as a reject it. and bear in mind that the the who is still under we is not a cheap yet would be a trying to do. so it is important point to highlight millions of people across the us could be forced out of their homes within days after a nationwide moratorium when evictions expired. president joe biden is facing criticism for failing to challenge the supreme court decision. preventing an extension. the phase was imposed last year to help slow the spread of covered 19 by eating crowding in homes. some states, however, have chosen to extend the eviction mediterranean beyond july 31st, including california and new york. let's take a closer look at the staggering numbers surround america's housing crisis. more

than 15000000 people are behind on their rent. collectively they owe more than $20000000000.00 to landlords and national lions to end homelessness. estimate. 17, out of every 10000 people in the u. s. can experience homelessness in any single night of the year. congress approved nearly $47000000000.00 in rent release funding at the start of the pandemic, but only $3000000000.00 or 6 percent of that has made it to those who need it. let's go live and might canada, who's talking to us from washington. d. c. might it sounds as though there are a whole range of questions here, but it still means that renters are facing a very uncertain future. well, the whole range of questions indeed, not least is why did congress and the white house wait so long before taking any kind of action that supreme court decision was taken a months ago when a bred to kevin, all one of the justices wrote an argument denying renters relief at that particular
6:12 pm
point, but saying in that judgment that there could be no further extensions of the relief, which was introduced originally by the cdc. he said specifically that the only way it could be renewed if congress passes legislation. now that was a month ago, and it's only on thursday that the bided administration suddenly appeared to realize the deadline was looming. cold on congress to pass such legislation. congress is about to go on the autumn break. it's attempted to pass the resolution by unanimous consent that was blocked by a single republican congressmen. congress has now gone away for its autumn break. its august break. no sign of weather. it will return to attempt to pass this legislation. so very much a comedy of errors that has nuts of impact as we say on millions of americans might we were just talking about the fact that there are a couple of states at least to try who've extended them auditorium themselves.
6:13 pm
california and new york. is that something? do you think that we're going to see across the country? once again? yes, that is a possibility. but those states to refer to california new york democrat controlled . now it's unlikely that republican states would emulate such state legislation. this is the other problem to, within congress, republicans in the senate, many of them are adamant that the rent eviction notice should not be extended. they were opposed to it. many of them from the very beginning. the other complicating factor is division within democrats. they are many democrats utterly in theory to by the fact that the bite and white house acted so late, that it did not challenge that supreme court decision. but it was only days before the end on the morrow tore him that it began to take any form of action, and that instead was kicking the can down to congress to take some action congress going that august break. so yes, there is
6:14 pm
a possibility that some other states might join, but one must be very clear here that this is a case to case basis. and the only way that this is going to be solved permanently is by congressional legislation. and i'm just as well, one more fact, rob, and that is that way back, congress voted for some $46000000000.00. full rent relieve. now out of that, only 3500000000000000 has been passed on to the renters. so congress is at fault not only for not taking action, but not having acted on what has had already decided on before. mike, thanks very much indeed, mike, kind of bringing this up to date from washington, d. c. for the bar head. and the news are including why fears or what china is controversial security law, a sport in exodus from hong kong to years of debate, venice fans large cruise ships to protect the lagoon ecosystem. and the usaa is rising sod caps, oper,

6:16 pm
she was taken to the airport from the athletes village against her wishes by team officials and said to them, quotes, i will not return to bella ruth. now she's been critical of her team coach. she's during her time here in tokyo saying that she's also been asked to compete in the 4 by 400 me to relay an event she's not prepared for or trained for. and that was because other athletes in belarus had not been put through the necessary anti doping tests prior to that, rosalind okay, with that full ineligible. so g to she described the incompetence of the officials in bella. ruth, she was being forced to compete in an event she didn't want to. i've also had a statement from the brother is olympic committee saying, as concluded by the doctor's given the emotional state of the valuation athlete, christina team and also the coaches, counsel of the team, has decided to end the athletes participation at the olympic games or l g. 0 has managed to speak to the police at an 8 port here in tokyo. now she's confirmed. she

6:19 pm
it and he'll have a right to not accept the results. so it's like he's working ahead of time to establish a narrative before the next year's presidential elections because both show that he today he would likely lose to former president reason, not sure rule or the silver. so that's pretty much the discussion about the paper ballots and the electronics vote. yeah, we've just been looking at some of the pictures of those crowds of people you were telling us about, does you as you were talking to us, monica for now. thank you very much. indeed, monica, your neck, you have incorporated on the beach. controversial changes to hong kong immigration law have come into effect. critic say it's going to give the government sweeping powers to stop people from coming in around 2000. so been leaving before it came into force and it's adrian brown reports from hong kong. that figure is growing hong kong international airport is a quiet place these days except here,
