most laid from rural areas to kandahar city. but no, even that is not safe. when the fighting started in our village, everyone was being so we also ran from our houses to here. we didn't bring anything with us. just close that we didn't save. i think i'm just our lives. cities are not the only ones under pressure. in the past, most the time about taking control is much less damage, meaning more prevention, capitals effectively, on the charlotte balanced era, the us and britain are among countries calling for an immediate cease fire cross. i've got a stone there. embassies, a highlighting allegations from a kind of sons independent human rights commission that the taliban quote massacred civilians in the town was spin, bolduc on the border with pakistan. taliban fighters took control. val, july 14th, posting on twitter, the embassies said that if he accusations approved, there may amount to war crimes united states as it will take in thousands more

african refugees to be working with us. because of the increased threat from the taliban expanded refugee program will include afghans linked to u. s. funded projects, as well as non governmental and media organizations, nachos and jordan at the state department. it was in the us interstate in our system. last. what did you say? well, essentially what the us secretary of state and to me, blank and how to say is that there is a response. now, to the growing outcry from many here in the united states who worked with afghan citizens during the 20 year long war. and that the u. s. government does have a moral obligation to try to extend some sort of assistance to them. this is anthony blinking speaking in the last hour. today, the state department is announcing a new resettlement program for afghans who assisted the united states, but who do not qualify for special immigrant reasons. we've created

a priority to or p to designation, granting access to the u. s. refugee admissions program for many of these afghans and their family members. a great deal of hard work has gone into this already, but even more lies ahead. now this might sound like good news for the many thousands of afghan citizens who worked with the u. s. government either for a short period than they would otherwise be qualified to get the special immigrant visa, or for those who worked with american based media organizations or n g owes. but the hard part is this. there are an estimate it tens of thousands of people who could be covered by this program. they have to leave afghanistan in order to be able to apply for this program. there's no way that the u. s. government says that it's going to be involved in the relocation of these people. they're going to have to make their way out of the country themselves. and at

a time when we see that there was growing fighting across the country and with the taliban taking more control of areas across afghanistan, that's a very difficult 1st hurdle for these people to clear before they can try to get the opportunity to eventually resettle in the united states, rosalind jordan, thank you very much. still to come this half hour as usaid official, samantha power, and refugees into dung. bodies with the hands tied to found in a river that runs between the 2 countries and poll, asking mexicans if the former president should be put on trial as failed ah. for thunderstorm waters has been a wonderful time in the alps. the tit all as well as some

so bad withstood around about 40 runtime, which is about the same figures. athens close to its record, the father buddy in greece and in turkey. and the weather is not going to make it easier. the weather bag, energy and change to every part of our universe. more small. to continue the change all around the shape, my technology and human ingenuity, we can make it work for you and your business. ah,

a handful of new infections were reported on monday. but officials are worried about the foss putting delta very and driving the new cases. katrina, you has more from beijing on the origins of the spike in cases of this represents a huge challenge of the chinese government. this is the worst outbreak that the country has seen in months, and it's taking place during the peak travel period of the summer holidays. now the authorities have said that there have been more than 370 positive cases identified over the last 2 weeks. 7 of the cases are critical. now overall, most of these cases have been identified in the city of non j. now that's a southern city. it's quite a big city. close to shanghai, 9000000 people the so they've identified more than 200 cases and they've conducted mass testing of these 9000000 residents. now all of this, this whole brick is linked to nothing's international. airport with a group of cleaners said to have been the 1st who have been infected,

they were cleaning a flight, which state media says came in from russia. and after that we've seen this outbreak grow. but alarmingly, authorities have also identified another possible super spread cluster. and that's in the southern province of hu, not one of china's most popular tourist destinations. john georgia, which was the place for hollywood movie avatar was filmed now, 2000 people were attending a theater performance. and they have been several cases linked to that, that performance. so traces are working very hard to identify and track all those people who attend attended that performance passengers from the u. s. and the you have begun to arrive in the u. k. after burton relax rules for fully vaccinated people, those arriving into the u. k. and not required to quarantine, even though scientists of warning against it. it comes as a w, it shows a $60000000.00 people have now had current of ours across europe. refugees are missing out on top of our jobs because vaccine shortages. that's an 8 percent of

the $2000000000.00 doses promised under the kovak scheme. the poor nations have been delivered around the refugees in bangladesh. some of the worst hit will help organizations managing countries to prioritize immunizing refugees, as well as those with serious health conditions. it says 85 percent of vaccines have been administered in rich countries. the environment and they live in is often very you know, condense, housing situation. it's not necessarily in the most areas with most access to, to health care and services like that is basically in health conditions or not their, their water supply and sanitation. city does not always up to date in that sense. so they are really living in difficult situations, most of the time. and these 4 bodies have been found in sudan, set it river in the eastern casala region. according to military sources, the remains of people believe to have been executed. dozens of refugees fleeing the

conflict into grey. i have arrived at a reception center in casala seeking refuge. him. morgan in cartoon, has more. the bodies were found overnight by the residence of casela. that's worth more than 220000. and if you have been refugees, are currently residing waiting to be relocated to proper united nations camp. now we spoke to campbell officials as well as military resources who say at least 30 refugees were able to cross from ethiopia, tegra region into ham dates, reception center, which is the refugee camp for if you have been refugees in the past few days. now those refugees say that at least 50 people were waiting on the other side to cross into sedan. to escape the conflict into gray, military sources say that the 4 bodies who were discovered had their hand side and it looked like they were executed and then thrown into the river. is that much of the account of refugees who say that they have witnessed the therapy enforced as well as her militias killing those who are trying to flee,

as well as trying to tear the rest from crossing from from crossing the river into sudan. of course, we've seen refugees flowing into them since the south of the conflict in november more than 60000 a currently and couldn't distributed between 2 dams got out of state and seeking refuge. the, the u. s. h. the usa administrator samantha power was a hard to him yesterday and met with the prime minister in the handbook to talk about the humanitarian situation. of those refugees, as well as to talk about humanitarian access into gray, where conflict has been region since november. israel supreme court, his agend and appeal from for palestinian families against their forced expulsion from the shaped gera neighborhood in occupied east jerusalem is the family's last legal chance to stop them being forced out of homes. they've lived in for decades. dozens of people industry. shara under threat of eviction, but not all of them. a part of this case, without any exception. thank you, jeez historically,

but aside a lot of them that have houses and wait for them. and buckeye, and because of the unjust know which is called action. you know, they can claim these houses that you've been union impose sanctions on the wife of nicaragua is leader is also the country's vice president and 7 other nicaraguans. it comes on the deadline to register the candidate for this year's election, 75 year old incumbent on, you know, tega is expected to run for 4th term. almost all his challenges have been arrested in recent months, most being held on treason charges. main opposition has named a former beauty queen and former gorilla fighter as a candidate a referendum in mexico and whether to make former presidents liable for

prosecution for corruption. as for short, the necessary turn out the public consultation was backed by the current president under a manual lopez or bred or it could have led to corruption charges against 5 former leaders 40 percent of eligible voters needed to take part to make the referendum valid. but provisional results show the turn out was less than 10 percent. to hold for fort from mexico city. the referendum in mexico sunday, sunday, groundbreaking, a boat to decide whether to go off to fight with the country's ex presidents, the corruption. in the end, it was a spectacle only 7 percent of the electra voted 9 out of 10 of those you did did vote to bring their lead trial. you could have been the most important that i think that the most important thing here is that the infinity ceases in this country. the 40 percent of the electoral vote for the referendum be legally binding. so far? sure. the looks met,

do believe that corruption has been prevalent and passed administration, but many of why should have both be needed. the justice to be done. just like when i believe that the people should not be consulted on whether to prosecute a president or not. the government should just apply the law especially is met cruise constitution already allow strict presidents to be prosecuted, opponent to current president and red men will look over the thought that this was just political theater. in turn, his party accused electoral authorities but not putting out enough balance or information the referendum to be a success initial national. so they, but it's with, it's not a question of budget but as well. they didn't have enthusiasm for the vote and they don't have these the, some of the democracy. the main question of the referendum was also changed by the countries supreme court. it wasn't legal, direct deposit president tried at the start seem pretty clear. he won't the judiciary to investigate these men, but it turn into something quite different,

have a listen. all you all, you know in favor of the pertinent actions to take a process of shedding light on the political decisions made in parties by political actors. it goes on, but you get the idea. it gets pretty hard to see what you're actually voting on. so now it's too low, but what if anything with the referendum mean heading food? my general impression is that the president does not want to start as something similar to a transitional justice process. even thought he promised that drink, he's a company. and my fear is that if he had not done this during the 1st 3 years of his mandate, that he's not going to change with a referendum, which only 7 percent of the relation participated. there is some talk of a truth commission to deal with a wide variety of pos, transgression. if that's who is affective. you probably have less to do with this

vote than the will of the president your home and how does it or mexico city a better russian sprinter who says her, and in fact he tried to force her to return home, has been given a visa and to poland christina simonelli gaia took refuge in the polish embassy on monday, when she was due to take part in the heat for the 200 metres. she used her team, tried to force her onto a plane in tokyo, after publicly complaining about her coaches. veneration, opposition, politician based in warsaw says the athletes husband will join her opponent and richardson has more from tokyo. christina, similar sky, i should have been spending monday at these olympics competing and it's 200 meters, a days and folded rather differently. now she says on sunday night, same officials from valerie forcibly took it from the athletes village. took it to the airport and tried to get her on a flight back to bella ruth soon she got to the airport. she immediately saw town help of japanese police also issued a video play on social media,

asking the international olympic committee to intervene. now in the build up to that happening, she'd been very critical of team officials saying that she'd been put in a very difficult position, was being asked to compete in a full buy for me to realize she not prepared for. and the reason for that was that the flex federation, backing barriers, hadn't put other athletes through the required anti doping tests at tokyo. and therefore they hadn't been able to travel here. now the, i see that they were able to speak to her last night. and again, today and said in her words, that she told them she did feel safe and secure. once the authorities had intervened and she'd spent a night in an apple hotel as a post on a flight back to about a race. not surprisingly, the international olympic committee now launching their own investigation, and that is starting with a request to the beller rece olympic committee for their official version of events . eurostar, gymnast simone biles has confirmed, she'll go for gold on the balance beam. she previously pulled out of all 5 of her

other events to focus on her mental health. now the news, new zealand laurel hubbard made elliptic history is the 1st ever opened the transgender athlete to compete. unfortunately for her, she made an early exit from the women's weight lifting. and despite falling in the heat for the 1500 meters dutch well champions, if on her son went on to win the race to qualify for the semifinals, she also won gold in the 5000 meters. the amount of stories and 0, high winds, and temperatures above 40 degrees celsius are finding deadly wildfires along turkeys southern coast. at least 8 people have now died with homes in gulf by the slain, firefighters are battling several bases. were the main concern now on 7 separate fires in the provinces, antalya and mueller, as well as twin jelly.
