i my dear in on august there, ah, we understand the different cultures the cost around. what moves the news and current does that matter to you? the money in so many endorsed as the president of iran, as the country faces an economic and health crisis and renew tensions with the wes ah, killing. so robin what challenges they were like my headquarters here in the whole . so coming up, fine sciences continues about a while. bonds ranging across the turkeys, coastal towns, thousands of fledge also the heaviest fighting between african forces and the

taliban in the southern city of africa. god continues their affairs, it might fall to the group. and you stop sanctions on the mic arguing, president's wife, after cut down on candidate to planning to run for the presidency. ah, welcome to the broker abraham racy has been officially endorsed as iran's next president, by the supreme leader and the harmony to ceremony into ron bracey promised to take steps to lift what he described as tyrannical sanctions imposed by the us. the conservative cleric who won the election in june, also pledged to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. mom at mann middle, that we are going to make sure the sanctions 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 12th government has done, but we need a short term immediate program to resolve the issues we are facing today. let's go over to to ron cosby. ali hash m ali, right. you see has really been a man. he's built a reputation for dealing with corruption and the economy as well. do you think he'll be able to well, so how brace is coming from a background of judiciary, legacy and fighting corruption is at least a yard. there are protection for that in iran, but giving the complexities of the iranian situation, the economy crisis, the country is facing a lot of a lot of challenges facing him. and as we heard in his 1st speech in front of the supreme leader, he concentrated mainly on into the internal affairs. and that was interesting, very interesting especially, and that in such speeches, the presidents tend to give

a broader picture and explain more on how they're going to deal with rival is how they're going to implement the ideas and objectives of the revolution. sorry, was mainly concentrating on the internal situation, which is going to be a real challenge for him. and some are saying that this is maybe the hardest presidency since how she medicine. john is spread presidency in 1989 after the iran iraq war. and of course, there was, as you say, more on domestic policy than foreign policy. that wasn't not to foreign policy. but what do you think we can expect from him once he actually forms his government? but 1st of all, it's expected that in the few coming days, he is going to announce his new cabinet with the new foreign minister, the new national security secretary. and then we'll know who are going to deal. who are the people are going to deal with the, with the situation, but with respect,

for example, to the nuclear of the la, according to many sources, yet into hon. about thought actually is going to present this position as the, the lead negotiator of the talks. yet it doesn't seem that the nuclear talks are going to be a real priority for everyone. right? you see this off clear from his, from his speech when he said that they're going to work to lift the sanctions. however, he's not going to leave the future of the ring and that people to foreign powers and they're not going to sit just to sit with, with all the countries to discuss. for example, the nuclear, the originally, i think at least from what we gathered here to have on the regional situation regional security is going to be main. but i already for him easiest for him policy and for sure tomorrow thursday we'll see who is going to attend the ceremony. the parliament and from debt also will know who are the countries that are ready to start a new page or continue on old page with the iranian administration house from into

her. thank you. the fire fighters in turkey hall working around the clock as well as continued to spread in coastal resort towns, winds and temperatures about 40 degrees celsius. ascending 7 walls fast along the mediterranean, and the g in case lines, at least 8 people have now died in the region. in the past week, holiday makers have been full sounds of the hotels and thousands have been evacuated from their homes. was also the, as more from one of the work to areas in turkey's and talia province. we are in the winter 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 rescues 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, did this will edge 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 when it 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 one 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 fire. it is of a v, coastal cities of catania and scar. i've also been hit by wildfires, residents and tourists have been evacuated to safety, but the fonts continue to burn crusade. they faced hundreds of flare ups and populated areas during the past few days. adam rainy has this update from the scholar. 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, for the hot part of elite use the 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, that's going forces continue to battle the taliban for alaska city. and as concerns

it'll soon fall to the group. the capital of the southern held providence has been seeing heavy fighting and frequent strikes and saturday, may by kandahar and several other cities also under a tank. now the african government is deployed as lead special forces and is carrying out as strikes along side us forces are diplomat together to james bases in cobble. he says, the fighting electrical god is now at its worst. the battle for alaska guy 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'd re controls 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 are 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 gunfire we are told is pretty much non stop. as the intense pricing continues, now, this of course is affecting civilians in last. good god, we're told most people including local journalists, 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 un have a figure of 10 civilians killed 85 injured in lush. but i think the, 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 had $23.00 people admitted in recent hours. now i tell you the 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 u. n. is issued a strongly worded statement. they say what the civilian casualties of to hi, they say that the ground offensive by the taliban and the air strikes by the african air force are doing the most home. they said this statement, the civilians, a bearing, the brunt policies must do more to protect civilians or the impact will be catastrophic. they bellows negative as to reported missing, has been found dead in ukraine's capital cares. vitale shall lead a key of based non profit organization that helps spell russians thing persecution . the n g o has called his death a planned operation. he was reported missing by his partner fighting to return home

from the rung. please last, a criminal case for suspected murder. while still a had here on al jazeera, desperate times call for desperate measures, the u. k. considers incentives and punishments to get more young people vaccinated . why a poll asking mexicans is full of presidents should be put on trial for corruption, has failed the stories after the break. ah, in the south china sea right at the top of your screen as a swirl a cloud that's a tropical depression. that means most the rain heading in that direction. now we have kind of a massive showers over some parts of borneo, west, papua, and silhouette. you are mostly indonesia, malaysia are in their dry season as which is the scattering of daily shower than not everywhere either. the wind is really taking its toll recently. no straight is

stormy weather going through the bath straight. now dragging the last to rain that through brisbin as you can see. so mostly the content is fairly dry. but in victoria windy sherry even wet is the case, but the real stuff is gone off shore. tasmania. bit stormy perth is enjoying quiet spell, which is unsure a lovely change. but you to thursday is a rather slightly better picture in victoria. but then you said in a different story, now let's go back at a wednesday. looks lovely and he's, you know, we've had some trouble with the strength of wind in oakland, g, g, c. they've gone away for time big. it's likely, as he strong winds up through waiting to maybe get been otherwise a fine looking day or time to get to him wednesday in preparation for thursday. when that frontal system that was sitting in the sea comes across faster masses. now, on the mountains and rain foremost, 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 the ah spoke about you're watching out there with me, so he'll run the reminder volatile stories. abraham racy has been officially

endorsed around next president by the supreme leader only. how many a ceremony in ron bracey promised to take steps to let port he described as tyrannical sanctions imposed by the us when san temperature is about 40 degrees celsius, ascending 715 kilo with mediterranean, and a g in case life links to 8 people who died in the region in the past week with us going forces continues until the taliban called the southern city, alaska. and that's the same thing. hold to the group, they've come to home. several other cities are also under a tag. chinese authorities are trying to contain an outbreak of the delta vary and took over 19 which is spread to half of the provinces in china and 10 days at least 6 regions of completed mass testing and people are being told not to leave their home city. katrina, you have more from the chinese capital, reaching the highly infectious delta variant has broken through china strict curve

at 19 defenses. closed borders. strict locked downs and mass testing have not been enough to prevent the countries worse outbreak in months. hundreds of cases had been found in more than 30 cities. in 16 provinces, china's leaders say the capital paging must be protected at all costs. several neighborhoods aren't locked down. after infections were discovered last week, flight trains and buses from affected areas have been suspended for residents have been warned not to leave. the city to weak. quarantines have been imposed. large scale events has been cancelled, and public venues ordered to limit capacity. contact tracing teams have been mobilized, where a d, v. d confirmed close or secondary contact will be current in those who leave and work with them will be banned from joining any gatherings. and also subject to close move management by their workplaces 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 supers better event in the tourist hotspot of john georgette 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, very interest in question, making 900 strategy and put more pressure on the nations that seem roll that down the chinese current strategy of 0 tolerance shooting, prove we must learn to co exist with the corona virus. we need to accept that it's impossible 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 pain, declared victory over carved 19 a declaration. it seems that was premature. katrina, you al jazeera dating, tyler does extended locked downs in the capital in 2 dozen other provinces. as the delta variant pushes up the number of cases 29 provinces of not being classified as dark red zones. people in these provinces, a band from traveling to other parts of the country, i must obey a strict curfew. thailand is also experiencing a major vaccine shortage. a total of 615000 cases have been confirmed in thailand

since the start of the pandemic. 20 chang is monitoring events from neighboring, bangkok we government's been quite secretive about where the shortage is coming from. but what we've seen over the course of the last couple of months is that signed by a son to the company, which has been licensed by astrazeneca to produce the vaccine here in thailand. and she mentioned, it's not just for tyna, but it's for many countries, in se asia has been running well below capacity. the astrazeneca in secret papers released have defended themselves, saying that they were initially did the orders that initially came for the tiger will much lower than those that and now needed. but side by side was also a company which was a controversial choices of vaccine producer. because it had no vaccine production experience. that said anyone here in thailand who criticize that process, tries to investigate it, is finding themselves in quite

a lot of trouble because it is a company which is ultimately owned by the king. and if you criticize the company, you in effect, criticize the king. but i think we're seeing now the problem of putting such a vital vaccine production in the hands of a company that isn't very experienced because lots of people are being told not just here in bangkok, but around the country that their appointments for vaccines are being postponed. indefinitely, we have seen this happen in the last couple of weeks and more productions come up. we understand that the thai government is seeking vaccines from elsewhere. they've already signed deals with pfizer madana. but we're not expecting major shipments of those to vaccines to come in until the last quarter of this year. and i think at the moment they're just trying to concentrate their efforts on the urban centers where the delta v are and is a real problem. the government is backing news at home, will help overcome hesitancy amongst young people about getting the cave in 1900 vaccine. but there is growing anger about another of its plans,

not domestic vaccine. passports, which critic se amounts to coercing the young journal. reports fit healthy and unwilling to be vaccinated, that describes a minority of young britons keen to get on with normal life after the lifting of most lockdown restrictions. no, thank k. i think it would be no thank you. i think that, you know, we shouldn't be forced to have something or take something when, you know, if i've had people like tara knowles, i haven't vaccine and put in these extra things in my body that they're constantly not even sure of where kinda the guinea pigs right now, the problem is the current infection rates are highest among young people with metrics warning that hospital patients are getting younger and younger. they describe it as heartbreaking to watch, the unvaccinated suffer unnecessarily. the other thing that people should take into account is that if they are not vaccinated,

then they're more likely to spread it to other people, perhaps vulnerable relatives that they come in contact with. but also, i think the responsibility to society not to be spreading this around because it will encourage the emergence of variance, which are able to escape from the vaccine. and that will simply put everybody back into lockdown again. nobody wants to do that. official figures suggest up to 10 percent of the thirty's are reluctant or simply refused to be vaccinated. with almost 3000000 young adults, yet to receive a 1st dose that led to a dramatic slow down in the overall vaccine rollout, leaving a potentially dangerous back door open to the virus. and the possibility of new variance. the government has backed measures to encourage vaccination, including discounts on food deliveries and taxi rides. and this free vaccine music festival in london. there are more controversial plans to incentivize the job by introducing vaccine passports to access night clubs,

which human rights group say is the wrong approach. collection does not make a safe. it's actually been proven that countries have mandatory vaccine policies or coercive ac seem policies have a much lower trust in vaccines. what we're talking about is totally restructuring society crating as it's of checkpoints, massive violation of privacy. locking some people out of society for a very, very small number of people. this is really the way we want to go about public health in this country. i don't think so. big brother, watch says refusing the vaccine is a basic right. which sets the wider goal of full vaccine coverage, again, with interests of those who believe they are better off without it. joan a whole al jazeera landed well. libby's government is called it all citizens to come forward and get back with 19 jobs around 2000000 doses of china and silver phone vaccine landed in the country with another 1500000 expected in the coming weeks last week. and overnight curfew was put in place for 2 weeks and central

a western, libya after a sharp rise in new infections. the, the europe in union has imposed sanctions on the wife of nicaragua, was leda, who's also the country vice president. it coincides with the deadline to register as a candidate for this year's election. the incumbent, daniel ortega says that he is running for full term. almost all of his challenges have been arrested in recent months, most to be held on treason charges. the main opposition has named a form, a beauty queen and form a grid fighter as its candidates or latin america editor, lucy, and even reports the most competitive presidential hopefuls in prison, citizens from freedom. one of the grog was most popular opposition. parties had bowed to register a surprise last minute candidate. but it was an astonishing choice. nonetheless. oscar saw barrel a form of rebel commander who fought against president. daniel ortega in the 1900 eighty's, is running with former miss nicaragua,

but in nice casala as his running mate. the beauty queen, better known, in fact than the ex, control army gorilla. i beg your pardon, now. it's true that i have no experience in politics, but i've joined this ticket because i want to help my people. i want nicaragua to be free. yeah, they must be, oh, there's been too much repression and harassment, nicaragua, and it's people deserve a chance to live in peace and have an election with respect and non aggression. when luis kind of young who fought alongside, ortega during the sandinista revolution and was now in exile, questions solving barrels, legitimacy. or mike, if the part of the problem is that he's the only candidate from his party that daniel ortega has allowed to run while the rest have been thrown in prison to take them out of the running. this is all a foreign conservative businessman newton, as he was also able to register his candidacy while this liberal party as well for

deals with ortega, he pills out 0, that he represents a genuine alternative, a little slow pro. we can't lose the opportunity to if we have to use our vote to go unpunished. government for all the damages caused by president ortega was the last to register as he did for his 4th consecutive presidential term. the electoral process has been questioned by the european union and the united states due to the imprisonment of 51 political leaders and anti government activists in the last 2 months. the e u has frozen the assets of 18 nicaraguan government leaders, including the country's vice president, samuel moody, who is ortega's wife. united states has revoked visas is 100 close allies in government members. but the ongoing track down against opponents accused of conspiring against the government suggests that the or take those are unlikely to cave into pressure to release other would be candidates or allow international

observers to oversee november. the polar seeing human al jazeera the referendum in mexico whether to investigate former presidents, the corruption has fail because not seen of people voted 40 percent of eligible voters when needed. but only 7 percent turned out. john holman reports not from mexico city. the. the referendum met on sunday sunday, groundbreaking, a boat to decide whether to go off the 5 of the countries ex presidents, the corruption. in the end, it was a spectacle. only 7 percent of the electorate voted 9 out of 10 of those. you did the boat to bring them directly to trial. you could have been the most important that i think that the most important thing here is that the unity ceases in this country. the 40 percent of the electoral vote for the referendum to be legally binding. it so far, sure. most mexican, i do believe that corruption has been prevalent and passed administration. but many

of why should have both be needed for justice to be done. just as 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 because constitution already allows for presidents to be prosecuted. opponents of current president under man will look over the door, said this was just political theatre in turn, his party accused electoral authorities but not putting out enough ballot boxes or information the referendum to be a success initial national so that, 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 in the us . and for democracy. the main question of the referendum was also changed by the country supreme court ruled it wasn't legal to direct. we all spoke to the past president, we tried at the start seem pretty clear you want to do dish, read to investigate these men. but it turn into something quite different. have a listen. all you are 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 for the referendum main heading food? my general impression is that the precedent does not want to start as something similar to a transitional justice process. even thought he promised that during his 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 in which only 7 percent of the relation participated. there is some talk of a truth commission to deal with a wide variety of past transgressions. if that's form ms. effective will probably have less to do with this though than the will of the president john home. and i would just say to mexico city,

though the us has returned more than 17000 looted treasures to iran, dating back 4000 years. not most of the ancient artifacts was stolen after the us invasion of iraq in 2003 bulky ologist say several other pieces of iran. clunky logical heritage is still missing. the unprecedented return follows the iraqi prime minister's visit to washington last week, where he met with us president joe biden. ah, he wants to stay with me. so he'll rob. and the reminder of all stories ibrahim race, he has been officially endorsed as iran's next president, by the supreme leader alley harmony at a certainly into iran. but se promised to take steps to live. what he described as to radical sanctions imposed by the us will be sworn him before thursdays parliamentary session mar at mann middle. that we are going to make sure the sanctions lifted. but we are not.
