yesterday, and now they're also involved in the rescue operations and in the fight against the fire in italy, the coastal cities of catania nps score have also been hit by wildfires, residence and tourists have been evacuated to safety, but the find continues to burn crusade they faced hundreds of flare ups and populated areas in the past few days. either many is in chassis with more or right here during can't t, the fires have been put out for the most part were south of scott about 20 kilometers are right on the adrian coast. i can see to see from where i'm standing and what you might see behind me is a burnt olive grove. and we're seeing a lot of these in these region. they're mainly family operations. people make their own olive oil. but these olive trees just fueled fires over the weekend weekend and families are now coming back families we've been seeing and assessing the damage at their properties. some of these olive trees date back century. so there's a lot of heartache and heartbreak that we're seeing with the family to as they

a signal that shows that if he's in his regime are guilty of this, once again, he's sending to the rest of the exiles ukraine and elsewhere to sit low, keep their mouths shut. because this is what's gonna happen to you. this is an intimidating signal to the rest chinese authority. the trying to contain an outbreak of the delta vary into code 19, which is spread to half of the provinces in china, in just 10 days. at least 6 regions of completed mass testing than people are being told not to leave their home city. katrina, you has more from beijing, the we change. the highly infectious delta variant has broken through china is strict corbett 19 defenses. closed borders. strict locked downs and masked testing have not been enough to prevent the country's worst outbreak in months. hundreds of cases had been found in more than 30 cities. in 16 provinces,

booster shots to vulnerable groups. the outbreak tightens 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 thailand does extended locked downs in the capital and 2 dozen other provinces. as the delta vary and pushes up, the number of cases 29 provinces have been classified as dark red stones. people in these areas, a band from traveling to other parts of the country and must be a strict curfew. thailand is also experiencing a major vaccine shortage. australia as prime minister is rejecting proposals to pay people to get back sedated against cave in $19.00 opposition has promised to pay anyone who's been inoculated more than $200.00. if it winds next to the federal election, nearly 20 percent of australian adults have been fully vaccinated. prime minister scott morrison says the offer of payments is insulting. the off position proposal

ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored like cattle airways, more flooding on the way were extent actually. mostly in southern china, there is a massive car can make trust to was beijing. that's a frontal system being a bit, a range of aging, but i think the focus is going to be down here. the circulation is a tropical soc election tropical low. the motor don't get strengthened much, but it might strength and have to be named the storm. but look at this orange core, this is all right. so back from high and then through hong kong, glendon and fuji and taiwan. these areas are going to get yet again, huge amount of rain in the next 24 to 48 hours. that's also probably true view to chain of august, the southern small odds in japan. most japan thinking fine now and the curriculum. so there's that line, right? i talked about inland chinese, the scratching of showers, nothing worse than that's the staff to watch. the monsoon range,

they still falling in the width and depth of still the time being and next 24 hours in eastern rochester western much protest. i'll be flooding hits. been doing this now for 2 or 3 days. it's got quieter, the forecasts, the new delhi, and the whole that in the poll is discussing a shaft, eastern side of bangladesh, still fairly wet. i think we seen record high temperatures in demand, the inside saudi. otherwise it remains hot, but not household sponsored cattle airways in 2001 and friends around burwell. arab australians accused of being enemies within and a checking of the way of life treated like we were all suspects. we were all under suspicion struggling to adapt to then you found home out there explored the history of the lebanese community and australia once upon a time and punched on out era. ah,

ah, the me talk about what channels is there with me. so romney reminder of all top stories. abraham roy has been officially endorsed as around the next president by the supreme leader, at least. how many? certainly inter, from what you see from it takes that to let what he described does tyrannical sanctions imposed by the us. also winds and temperatures of a 40 degrees celsius ascending while on the mediterranean. and the g and co funds, at least 8 people have now died in the region in the past week. and the russian activists to is reported missing, found dead and new friends, capital baton,

the show kia based non profit organization to help fellow russian seeing persecution, n g a has called his death, a planned operation. ah, councils is continued to battle. the taliban for electrical ga city, and this concerns it will soon fall to the group. the un says at least 40 people have been killed in the past 24 hours. the capital of the southern hellman province was also seen heavy fighting and frequent strikes and saturday. they by kandahar and several other cities also under attack. after the government of deployed delete special forces. and he's carrying out and strikes alongside us forces. diplomatic as to james basing cobble, he says the fighting in la chicago is now at its worst. well, we've spoken to local journalists who say that the fighting is the most intense. it's been at any time in recent days, and there has been very heavy fighting in recent days. but apparently the gunfire

is absolutely non stop. at the moment. the fighting, we believe is right in the heart of last year, got close to the governors compound, close to the police headquarters close to the prison in laska, those areas all have seen heavy fighting and we have some shocking news. statistics of the civilian death told all of us the un now saying 40 killed, 118. have been injured. the data coming from all sorts of places in alaska. it's obviously confuse, picture and communications are difficult. the emergency hospital, the italian run, n g o, that does excellent work, dealing with those who are war victims is only now taking in those that need surgery immediately to save their lives that take the sending all of the injured elsewhere. they've had another 23 people admitted in recent hours. the

un so concerned about the civilian casualties that they put out a statement saying civilians a bearing the brunt the parties must do more to protect civilians or the impact will be catastrophic. and they've also made it quite clear that the civilians who are being injured and who are dying of the result of the taliban ground offensive. and the strikes carried out by the african air force. it's been nearly one year since a deadly explosion rocked the lebanese capital killing more than $200.00 people and injuring thousands more. nearly 300000 were left homeless as a result of the devastation. families of the victims are still demanding answers. not glass was triggered by large stock pile of improperly stored ammonium nitrate. the regional director of unicef in the middle east says many lebanese children have been traumatized by the blast. for here, one year later and the children are still feeling the brunt of what happened

a year ago with the baby blast. 100000 children were directly affected. we did a recent survey, 20 percent of those families are still living in temporary accommodation. pass those children are still feeling the psychological impact of the blast. what we're hearing from the children themselves. and the families is they still wake up with nightmares of sounds or an explosion or an event that will change their lives for others. so that sense of security that was there before is no longer there. that sense of normalcy. that was there before is no longer there. i have a job as a lebanon, bahrain research at human rights watch. so she says, government officials try to cover up their knowledge about the explosive materials weeks before the blast. every official has tried to muddy the water of what actually happened in the lead up to august for. so we decided to collect all of the

documentation, hundreds of pages of documents, some of which has not been published before to really piece together what happened . and we supplemented those documents with interviews with he judicial government and security sources as well. and what we found was incredibly dining. we found that various ministries, including the ministry of public transports, which he provides of sports, as well as the ministry of finance, which supervisors, the customs administration in lebanon. not only had knowledge of the dangers posed by the ammonium nitrate, but miscommunicated those dangers and hit those dangers from the judiciary. we also found that the lebanese armed forces brushed off responsibility for this ammonium nitrate even after they found out that the nitrogen grades in the ammonium nitrate man, that this was material used to make explosives, and therefore, should have been under the supervision of the lebanese army we found the president

and the prime minister, both of whom were aware of the stockpile of ammonium nitrate aware of the dangers of the ammonium nitrate posed while before at least 2 or 3 weeks before the last still failed to take any action. all of this evidence together, really pains an incredibly disturbing and very damning picture of the kind of mismanagement corruption and incompetence in lebanese state institutions that allowed something like the baby last one of the largest non nuclear explosions in the world to take place. now the europe in union has imposed sanctions on the wife of nicaragua was lead us. he's also the country's vice president. it consigned with the deadline to register as a candidate for this year's election. the incumbent, daniel, take a says that he's running for a full time. almost all of his challenges have been arrested in recent months. most are being held on treason charges. e mail position has named a former beauty, korean, and former gorilla fighter. as candidates are locked in america,

editor lucy newman has more the most competitive presidential hopefuls in prison citizens for freedom. one of the grog was most popular opposition. parties had vowed to register a surprise last minute candidate. but it was an astonishing choice. nonetheless. oscar swell barrel, a former rebel commander who fought against president. daniel ortega in the 1980s is running with former miss nicaragua and nisa casala as his running mate. the beauty queen, better known, in fact than the ex, control army gorilla. but 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 unknown aggression when luis kind of young who fought alongside,

ortega during the sandinista revolution and was now in exile questions solving barrels legitimacy. mike, if you're 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 tells out 0 that he represents a genuine alternative. so we can't lose opportunity that 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 nicaragua, leaders,

including the country's vice president blasio moody who is ortega's wife. the united states has revoked. visa has 100 close allies in government members. ongoing crackdown 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 overseen november the polar sea newman al jazeera the referendum in mexico, whether to investigate full of presidents the corruption has failed because not enough people voted 40 percent of eligible voters when he does, but only 7 percent turned out to home and reports non from mexico city. the the referendum in mexico on 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 electorate voted 9 out of 10 of those you did.

did vote to bring them directly to the trial you can. most importantly, i think that the most important thing here is that unity ceases in this country. that 40 percent of the electoral vote for the referendum to be legally binding. it fell far sure. most met, 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 as met cruise constitution already allows for presidents to be prosecuted opponent to current president. under asthma, we'll look at that this was just political theater in turn, his party accused electoral authorities but not putting out in the ballot boxes or information the referendum to be a success initial national. so they, but it was,

it's not a question of budget, but as well they didn't have enthusiasm for the folks 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, direct the folks of the past president tried at the start seem pretty clear. he won't the judiciary to investigate these men, but it turned into something quite different. have a listen. all you or 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 low, but what if anything, with 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, which only 70 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 formed is effective. will probably have less to do with this though. the will of the president, john home and how does it a mexico city? now the us this returns more than 17000 looted treasures to iraq, dating back full 1000 years. most of the ancient artifacts was stolen after the u. s. that invasion of iraq in 2003. but i'll kill just say several other pieces of iraq's archaeological heritage still missing. there's in follows, the iraqi prime minister's visit to washington last week. i have to take your brain to focus on her mental health us gymnastics. stall simone

biles has returned to action at the tokyo olympics when a bronze metal, the 24 roll finishing behind 2 chinese competitors in the balance. being final of the play out of 5 earlier events. she leaves with a silver and a bronze to go with full gold medals from the rio games in 2016. and richardson has more from tokyo. not quite the, the golden finish. we might have dreamt silver written about if we were making it into a hollywood movie. but nonetheless, she put in a close to flawless performance in that balance being final worth remembering. it's not one of her strongest disciplines. she want a bronze medal in the discipline in radio, in 2016 when she was at the absolute peak of her powers worth remembering what, what she's been through. i mean, to pull out of that said all around teen final to be brave enough. and can that enough in that press conference tried afterwards to not say i had a slight injury, but to say, i'm going to go and focus on my mental health. it's something that sent us a really positive message to lots of other athletes that these are lympics. and

subsequently she, she has been active in talking to fans on social media about her bathroom to get her mind and body back in sync cache. she's also been very visible around the athletes, religion of the competition venue, supporting her other teammates. and now he's, she's back doing what she did, what she does best winning that bronze medal in what could well be the final olympic performance of her, of her amazing korea. ah, don't you all just there with me the whole realm? the reminder of all top stories, abraham roy, you see, has been officially endorsed as it runs next president by the supreme leader alley . how many at a ceremony into wrong? right. you see promise to take steps to live, what he described as to radical sanctions imposed by the us mom at mann middle that we are going to make sure the sanctions are lifted, but we are not.
