make america to try to bring people together trying to deal with people who left behind me. oh, my family endorsed as the president of iran, as the country faces an economic and health crisis and renew tensions with the west . ah, hello rahman, you're watching out there like my headquarters here in the hall coming up in the next 30 minutes. i just continue to that a wildfire ranging across turkeys, coastal towns, thousands of fled. also the heaviest fighting continues between the gun forces. i'm

the taliban and the southern city of lasker. god is it might fall to the group, and millions of chinese under locked down to battle spreads of the delta therein to the corona virus. ah, welcome to the program you see has been officially endorsed as iran's next president by the supreme leader alley harmony. the ceremony in terra now right, you see bow to take steps to live, what he described as tyrannical sanctions imposed by the u. s. the conservative cleric who won the election in june, also pledged to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. more at mann middle. we are going to make sure the sanctions are lifted, but we are not going to connect our economy to lifting the sanctions. there are a few issues that the government is facing right now. the budget deficits investment and the stock market, and also controlling the inflation corona virus,

and many other basic needs. so i appreciate what the 12 government has done, but we need a short term immediate program to resolve the issues we are facing today. well, let's me tell to those to ron correspondence back, he's in the here in the studio, se, se is officially, you might say the still, the president designate, but he's a pre ordained man, isn't he, bill to tackle and have a reputation for tackling the economy. and corruption, is he the right man? and can he do it? when his reputation has been built up over the years he was appointed as the head of the shrine in masha. this holy city that sees millions of pilgrims every year. and for that row, he was credited of fighting corruption. he was known to visit poor families in the city. an opening up part of that shrine hadn't been opened up before. so he dealt with corruption then then he was appointed to the head of the judiciary. again,

really, so they defined his reputation of fighting corruption and that's really what he was relied on this kind of image of fighting the problem with problems within the country. now, one of the major issues in the country was the economy during the election and he placed a sort the act. and even in this speech, he said that there were 10 immediate things that needed addressing, although he didn't list all 10 of them. but the all criticisms of him that he hasn't really had held political office before he's been, he's a judge who's held positions in the judiciary, whether he is the right man or not trans. your question role would have to wait and see in terms of what cabinet he forms and what policies he puts in place to deal with the economy, which really has been suffering and was the major issue during the election. one of the talking points certainly in the delivery, those presentations today was sort of the vague nod to foreign policy by both or e. c and the supreme leader, but they do really didn't dwell on it. why? well, the reason for that is that the main person that deals with foreign policy is the

supreme new guy or to the how many. but really what it looks like the one to deal with the domestic issues. and he did say he wants sanction lifted, but he won't tie the economy to the lifting of sanctions or the of foreigners, but also the conservative camps in iran. a very don't trust the west in the last few days to the how many, how many office released a video of her or him over the decades thing that you cannot trust with. and that's part of the criticisms to the previous administration, because it hasn't honey. for administration that they trusted the west too much now . right. if he doesn't trust the west, he many conservatives didn't agree to 2050 new kid. yes. although a prisoner or raphael said that he recognizes it as a national document. but the difference is that the reformist saw that deal as a foundation worth a conserved as the, as the ceiling. so they may interact with the west, might find this new president, and he did ministration the much tougher stance. i said for the moment i will leave

it that we will be and picking those speeches and presentations there throughout the day with you. thanks very much. now in other news, saw fontas in turkey. my working around the clock has wildfires continued to spread in coastal resort towns, winds and temperatures of 40 degrees celsius. ascending 7 wild falls along the mediterranean and a g and coasts. at least 8 people now reported to have been killed in the region in the past week. holiday makers being forced out of the hotels and thousands have been evacuated from their homes. russell southern has more from one of the worst. his areas in turkeys and italia province. we are in the village of cellar, in the town of goods on which one of the worst hit districts in turkey right in this will as the fire started at 4 am after midnight. right after that the rescue there are patients just going on. the work is on their way, but it's quite tough to get the fires under the control because the temperature is

quite high. and the wind quite fast here just a little bit ago ago. the fire extinguishers, how have been cooling down did, did this, will it here to the houses behind them? so once, but i can see that there are several houses that have been either completely destroyed or partly damaged. smoke is everywhere, and we can see that the trees are just burning down here. one of the religious just the one of the person in the is, will just a little bit ago. told me that the when it had 150 houses here and to turn it off them are already burning or, or, or damage. that is quite difficult here because seems when is they own there has been 144 fires coming from different locations and the government says, 134 of them are under the control. but there are 10 active zones

that the fire is still continue. on the other hand, there is an international aid after the international the companies are also assisting turkey. so there has been hundreds of the firefighters coming from their bay john yesterday. now they're also involved in the rescue operations and in the fight against the fires. initially, the coastal cities of cataneo and per scarborough have also been hit by wildfires. residents and tourists have been evacuated to safety, but the fonts continue to burn cru, say they faced hundreds of flare ups and populated areas during the past few days. adam rainy has this update. this is a pine forest right on the edge of a pretty sizable tourist city and you can see that the fire isn't completely extinguished. 2 days out fire brigade was showing us around this morning. this hit still risk for some sparks perhaps catching back on fire. but they feel confident

it's largely under control because the weather's gotten better here in this central region on the adrian coast. the real fight in italy is further south later here on tuesday because we still have temperatures in the forty's, and these fires are threatening quite populated areas because it leaves a very popular country, and this is really threatening along the coast. we see major evacuations haven't taken place near beach tours, resorts and other areas in sicily, sicily, of course, the hot part of elites used to fires, but these fires are historic. we have firefighters battling over $120.00, currently across the south of italy. they say they've, they've been putting out thousands of small fires in recent days. so this fight is nowhere near over in italy, even though the weather has broken for the best here. and the central part of the country, the south is still struggling to get this under control. ah,

pencils is continue to battle the televisions, alaska, golf city as concerned that it will soon fall to the group. the capital of the southern helmand province have been or has seen heavy fighting and frequent strikes in saturday. they by come to holler and several other cities are also under attack . the african government has deployed its elite special forces and is carrying out and strikes alongside us forces on diplomatic evidence. james base has the latest force from cobble and it just see that moscow, gar, is the focus for the moment. james love, she seems to be seeing the heaviest fighting scene at any time in recent days. the battle of alaska god is well on the way at the moment. the situation right now is that overnight the government thought they made games. they certainly told the media that they've re control the heart of the city. it's not clear whether they that she pushed the taliban out to was a ton of on the gun to ground in some of the buildings that they controlled. but

what is clear now from speaking local jan. this is the heavy fighting the taliban. all in the heart of the city. as fighting around the government governor's compound, around the police headquarters around the prison, around the key buildings in the center of the city and the gun fall we've told is pretty much non stop as the intense fighting continues. now, this of course is affecting civilians in last. good god, we're told most people including local journalists, a hiding in their homes because of the scale of the fighting at this stage. and clearly there are a great number of civilian casualties. different figures coming through one coming from the african ministry of health saying that 38 civilians have been killed in recent days in hellman province and 156 injured the us and have a figure of 10 civilians killed 85 injured in alaska. but i think that the figures are confused because the situation is constantly changing and i don't think

any figures you have of the death total. the injured are going to be accurate. that going to be a lot higher than what we're hearing from these will be different counts the emergency hospital, alaska, god, that's an italian n g o. that has said it's had $23.00 people admitted in recent hours. now i tell you that only admitting in that hospital, people who have a life threatening injuries who need immediate surgery, they also say that they had 5 people arrived there, but they were dead on arrival. the un is issued a strongly worded statement. they say the civilian casualties are far too high. they say that the ground defensive by the taliban and the strikes by the african air force doing the most home. they say in this statement, the civilians a bearing, the brunt policies must do more to protect civilians or the impact will be catastrophic. quickly to tell you about 2 other places, the 2nd city of are going to san canada ha, civilian casualties. still male,

why hospital may not also it'll say it's recently admitted. 10 people who been injured 3 of the children. and finally her rat. the 3rd city of afghanistan clash is still continuing that the government saying that pushing the taliban out. but the taliban certainly say back in control of parts of the city and they've been publishing videos of them speaking to local people in parts of iraq and another sort of related story change that we've been following that been developments ask and to sort of supported foreign military group and non military staff during that time in the country and, and looking for away out what would we know about this? this is a new program by the americans on top of their existing program. they're expanding it. they were helping those who had worked interpreters for the u. s. military then now going to expand it to others who helped key american interests here enough gone on over the last 20 years, for example. those that worked for agencies and g o. those that work for american

media organizations. what is interesting about that, this is looking into the detail though, because they're requiring a lot of documentation from these afghans to prove that the claim is valid. so there's a pretty high ball that the other thing that the americans is saying, you know, is a process, these new applications, they need the afghans to go to another country, a 3rd country, as the american embassy. that because they don't have the capacity here in afghanistan to process these new applications. now it is very difficult for afghans to travel right now. remember the taliban control? many of the borders. and remember that one of the key roots for africans out of the country is out to the neighboring country. iran, well, you'll be well aware that there's no u. s embassy in rom, james city update. thank you very much. she said diplomat. get to that in cobbles. well, still had here on our 0, poland grunts a humanitarian visa to the bell,

a russian sprinter who defied orders to fly out of the olympics, plus the u. slap sanctions on the nicaraguan president's wife after a crackdown candidate to planning to run in presidential elections. they scurried after the break. ah, ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored my cattle airways. now you think from lookin satellite picture of europe that most the worry would be in the amount of rain that the sky. but as you know at is not the case. there is plenty of rain around admittedly, but it's further south where you've had the real worry where temperatures are high . and in some cases, dear record high, it's been persisted not particularly true in the southeast of europe and across in turkey as well. as we focus briefly on turkey, temperatures are not extraordinarily high,

but they are getting close to 43 is just about the record value from tallies, not truth of all of to keep it look at the winds as well. and also the government through the g and, and it's gusting also over. the hills are very, very dry wind. you know, the problem is far as this is the one that was covered so much yesterday. but of course, the breakout will have the place in the same is true in greece, and the weather is not going to help. it's still hot and dry and tardy is temperature will only ease high degree may be. so there's not much change taking place in this part of turkey. there's a warning after high temperatures to day for sudden grease and also for sicily. the attempt is probably will ease a little bit next day or so. for example, in palermo, down to about 29, by the time you get to says day of the most part, the heat remains sponsored pay cut on airways. joined the debate, do not have vaccines reaching those who are most needs and amplify your voice. it

allows a diverse community how an array of different stories, no topic, it's off the table. it's such a tough ethical debate. here, there is an obvious discrimination in systematic discrimination of play. people are thursdays or new wasted. the stream where a global audience becomes a global community on al jazeera. ah, ah, ah, by kill watching out there with me. it's a whole rom, reminders of all top stories. abraham rice c has been officially endorsed as around the next president by the supreme leader. how many that are really into the wrong

right? you see to take steps to let what he described does to radical sanctions imposed by the us winds and temperatures of a 40 degrees celsius ascending 7. 15 is that you will be mediterranean and a g in coastline. at least 8 people have now died in the region in the past week. and that's going towards has continued to battle, the television or the southern city of laska. and this concerns will soon be great if i come to holland, several of the city is also chinese authorities are trying to contain an outbreak of the delta very into code 19, which is spent to half of the provinces in china in 10 days. at least 6 regions of completed mass testing and people are being told not to leave their home city. katrina, you has more from beijing changing the highly infectious delta variance has broken through china is strict core of 19 defenses, closed borders. strict locked downs and mass hasting have not been enough to

prevent the countries worst outbreak in months. hundreds of cases had been found in more than 30 cities. in 16 provinces, china's leaders say the capital waging must be protected at all costs. several neighborhoods aren't locked down after and sections were discovered last week. flights trains and buses from the affected areas have been suspended. residents have been warned not to leave the city to weak. quarantines have been imposed. large scale events have been canceled and public venues ordered to limit capacity. contact tracing teams have been mobilized where i find the confirmed clothes or secondary contacts will be current in those who leave and work with them will be banned from joining any gatherings. and also subject to close moot management by their what places or local community, etc. and then the outbreak originated early last month in the southern city of non ging airport janice's tested positive after cleaning a flight which arrived from russia. the cities,

more than 9000000 residents underwent 3 rounds of testing in 2 weeks. authorities have identified a possible super spreader event in the tourist hotspot of jungle jet was several cases were linked to a theater performance attended by 2000 people. the attraction has been shut down, and tourists told to stay away. up until july, much of china had reported the record of our cases. the apparent success had been a source of national pride. but this latest flare up of the delta vary interest foreign interest question. making corporate 900 strategies and put more pressure on the nation. does that seem roll that sean is current strategy of 0 tolerance shooting, prove, we must learn to co exist with the corona virus. we need to accept that if possible, to be completely free of the verizon for a long period of time. health officials say more than 1600000000 vaccines have been

administered so far, but they've ward being vaccinated may not be enough to avoid catching the delta strain. the government has begun vaccinating children and is considering offering booster shots to vulnerable groups. the outbreak titans, china's economic recovery, and its ability to horse spectators during the 2022 winter olympic games last year . president, she didn't ping, declared victory over carved 19 a declaration. it seems that was premature. katrina, you al jazeera, updating the officials in the us say the delta, very integrated 19 and spreading like wildfire. in the past 2 weeks, cases of prism sharply with the number of people take the hospital in some states reaching records levels and gala. her reports from miami as the number of cupboard 19 cases surpasses 35000000 in the us. the delta variant continues to be the dominant, more contagious strain of an already deadly virus. hospitals in states like nevada,

mississippi, an arkansas or surging is mostly unvaccinated patients infected with a delta variance seek treatment. with the push to get more people vaccinated, increasing in urgency as the renewed effort to treat the vulnerable over before. no, god, no, i swear i think i've been stayed in this house to the house bound, all those to afraid to go outside programs like this or a potential lifesaver. forget all the stupidity, all the, all the anti vaccines and all that. and where they get their information that is completely wrong. so i knew a lot of nurses and in my family and stuff and everything. so and people died. so yeah, it's just the way it works in florida, which so its highest number of daily cases on record. last week testing sites, a once again, seeing long lines. this state now accounts for one in 5 new cobra cases with hospitalizations hitting

a new hi. according to the department of health and human services, more than 10000 people, a currently being treated here many of the younger than seen before. despite those staggering numbers, the states governor is refusing to mandate months quarters, or local officials to put restrictions in place to prevent the spread of coven 19. there'll be no restrictions, and no mandate and the state of florida. wow. meridian have been are, and will remain free to choose what's best for themselves and their families. in stark contrast, officials in san francisco announced a new mask mandate regardless of the vaccination status. louisiana too is reinstated it's mask mandate effective from wednesday. but despite the di warnings, large events are still being held across the us. officials say another round of tight restrictions is unlikely with only around half the adult population fully

vaccinated the course to increase that number a growing while vaccinated people can spread the virus if they get a breakthrough infection. the odds of them getting sick in the 1st place are far lower than those who are unvaccinated. and in fact, places with more vaccination generally have left to be. over the past 3 weeks, the pace of vaccinations have steadily risen, particularly and mostly southern states that were lagging that many. this later search is a tipping point and a realization. the vaccines are the only way to beat the virus. and to galico al jazeera miami, florida. though the bella was knocked, vince to his reported missing has been found dead in ukraine's capital. ken, it's suspected that he may have been murdered. vitale shall lead a key of based at non profit organization that helps bella russian sling. pensacola . and he was reported missing by his partner to failing to return from a run. and elliptic officials are waiting to hear from the bellowing sports body on

a long time and there was something wrong with her. she secluded herself sometimes and sometimes she didn't want to communicate. we have a young team who are very hard to cheat. we were getting some signal was that something was happening to the go. number, your quote that we have seen her anxiety, some chaotic move. something was bothering her in the beginning of the limpid game . so she was keeping quiet and calm. but then there was some actions which disappointed all of us, all the supporters and when the country the bell, russian government has not commented, imposed decision to help similar skies. but right to say many athletes, bel roost, have been detained and excluded from national teams. yeah, it follows laws he is mass protest against president alexander lucas shanker, disputed election victory back in tokyo. tim last guy said she was deprived of her right to compete, but at least for now she saved in the polish embassy and she hoped they can help to
