a handing him the presidential office and a country in crisis while urging him to solve the problems inherited from his 2 terms. though the feeling of caution on the streets of few people are pressing optimism that the new government can get the country out of his current prices. and some argue the nuclear issue will only add to existing problems. however, others believe the answer lies and the leadership taking strong measures and the action of your data. chinese authorities are working to contain an outbreak of the delta variant of code 19, which has spread to half the provinces in china for 10 days. at least 6 regions have competed mass testing and people being told not to leave their home city. katrina, you reports from beijing. the changing the highly infectious delta variance has broken through china is strict corbett 19 defenses, closed borders. strict lockdown and masked, hasting, 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, china's leaders say the capital baiting must be protected at all costs. several neighborhoods aren't locked down after and sections were discovered last week. flight 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 cancelled, and public venues ordered to limit capacity. contact tracing teams have been mobilized where i can find deal to confirm clothes or secondary contacts, will be current in those who leave and work with them will be banned from joining any other rain and also subject to close move 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 janitors 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 questions. agents quoted $900.00 strategies and put more pressure on the nation. does that seem roll last? 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 won't be 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 beijing thailand has extended locked downs and the capital of 2 dozen other provinces. as a delta variant pushes up the number of cases there. 29 provinces are being classified as dark red zones. people in these areas are banned from travelling to other parts of the country. and mr. bay, a strict curfew. thailand is also experiencing a major vaccine shortage. united states has reached its go of vaccination, 70 percent of adults nearly a months after president joe biden's july 4th target. but the country is still

recording more than 125000 cases a day and almost 500 deaths from code. 19 driven mostly by the highly infectious delta variant york's mer is trying to drive the cities infection rate back down by requiring proof of explanation. but people attending indoor venues for mid august people during terrestrial james and the fisher. we'll have to show proof of vaccination by a city based pass in the last hour president biden, as he's speaking about how vaccinations are going in the u. s. rosa jordan joined us from washington d. c. so does he happy with how it's going well, what the us president joe biden had to say is that this is really now a pandemic driven by those who have refused for whatever reason to not become vaccinated. and it would appear that those who are not vaccinated have done so by choice, not because they have some sort of medical condition that basically bars them from

getting the vaccine that does happen. but they're outnumbered by those who have said either they don't trust the science, they don't trust the government or they just don't feel that enough of is known about these vaccines for them to basically turn themselves into guinea pigs. now the president basically told americans who were watching in the past hour, that if they weren't vaccinated, they needed to get vaccinated. because in his view, this is a pandemic that could be winding down. and instead, case loads are going up, particularly in the middle part of the country in the southern part of the country . and in broad swath of the western united states. you said this is a situation that does not need to be happening. and he also spoke about how to protect people who renting after a nation wide moratorium, preventing them from being evicted, expired. or we can tell us more about that. while the moratorium was imposed by the centers for disease control and prevention or c d c 11 months ago and that more

atoria as you noted, expired on saturday night us time. well, that means that those landlords who weren't getting their rent payments because their tenants, it was their jobs due to the pandemic, basically started going to housing court all over the country, trying to now start the process of evicting these tenants because the landlords argue that they have to pay their mortgages and if they're not getting the income, then they themselves could be at risk of losing their property and suffering financial could house for feed themselves. so, but the big question is when you have so many millions of people who have not been able to pay their rent, that really has put pressure on the bye, didn't ministration to extend the moratorium. what the president told reporters this afternoon was that basically this was a situation that never should have come to this point because in the 1st emergency funding bill that his administration pushed through earlier this year,

there was 40 $5000000000.00 set aside to help pay people's rent to their landlords . and so he said, obviously we thought the start states and counties were going to distribute the money. that money hasn't been distributed. now what we're hoping to do is to try to find a way to give people more belief without letting them get evicted, but he's leaving it up to the cdc to make that announcement later on tuesday evening. that is one thing that joe biden did not do during this press conference in the past hour. he did not say exactly how the u. s. government is going to help these millions of renters, some 3000000 who could be kicked out of their homes anytime now. i was in jordan, thank you very much indeed. oh person by no so called on new york state governor andrew cuomo to resign after an independent investigation found that he harassed at

media. after seeing the scale of destruction caused by the flats on television, germany gave us the shelter, give us education, give us food, and a place to evolve and thrive in this country. and they considered us as one of them. so we felt that we are part of this society and when we feel this, we feel that we need to help in this get those trophy nearly 3 weeks after torrential rains called flooding and north way must finally and rhineland. the latin aid, the clean up as well on the way survivors say this is not because of government help, but solely, thanks to the volunteer does. this isn't indescribably strong feeling that people from all nationalities came and helped that every hand helped even when it maybe was not exactly the right help at that moment. what matters as they help and otherwise we would never have managed to do this. church lead us hope tolerance towards refugees and migrants will increase. i'm not ok,

but here are people who experience have because of their religion or that color. and i think that's a good sign in. but knowing that this doesn't matter at the moment, having experienced hardship themselves, the syrian refugees feel they can offer the right help. some i've been working for 2 straight weeks, leaving their families and jobs behind is get unwilling through. there are 1000000 syrians in germany, and we are one with the german population in good and bad time. they plan to stay off the other volunteer, have long gone, hoping to rebuild these historic towns and making friends for life steadfast and algebra, but noisy and germany. on wednesday, it will be one years since the deadly explosion rocked the lebanese capital killing more than $200.00 people and injuring thousands. nearly 300000 lebanese were left homeless and families of the victims still demanding answers. the boss was

games, adding for both style 3 pete winning, the $1200.00 at 3 consecutive olympic games. harris is like, yes it is in the book, but take it year by year, which i'm looking forward for our championship kaiser before paris. now on wednesday, she found her son will continue with her unprecedented tokyo asset. the dutch runner aiming to win the 1505010000 meters. something has never been done before. she's already won the 5000 meters. she from the 1st aid of the 1500 meters, which so her falling on the final lap. she still had the chance to get up to south down and get through to wednesday's semi finals. if she gets through that semi final, then the final for the 1500 is on friday and then the final of the 10000 meters is on saturday. she'll have 6 middle distance races in 8 days. also coming up on wednesday, the final of the men's see 100 meters. the big favorite for that is american. know

eliles, but he almost blew it in the semi fun is look to be cruising to victory eased up in the final few straw. i got caught on the line finished 3rd, but just squeeze through as one of the fastest loses. so he will have a chance to add to his world championship gold medal. he wanting doha in 2019 and go for the limbic title on wednesday, tuesday also. so it's been described by the man who won silva as the best race ever . and elim pick history and he was talking about the mens 400 meter hurdles, wind noise, a constant, vol homeless, smashed his own well record 2 in gold and a time of 45.94 seconds. this time while champion beating the usa that ride benjamin and brazil alison dawson santo, it was a month ago that was all home broke the records set by kevin young at 29 years ago . the boss laner olympics incredibly shaped another 0.76 seconds off that fine, becoming the 1st man to break 46 seconds. to put that in context that saying the around a 3 2nd slower than the 400 meters record. where the of course no hurdles and there

are thought for benjamin and 2nd to also break the world record. in fact, 6 of the 1st 7 finishes set, national or continental records, and in the press conference afterwards, even the competitors couldn't quite believe what they've done with all respectful athletes. i think there's lot of athletes that are not that good. i will get another because, you know, right, benjamin running 4617. you know, it would be cervical metal. there's nothing you can compare to what just happened out there? $4059.00. over the hurdles. 46146. 72 it's. it's an insane. so i would say it was the best race ever in olympic history. earlier we states janice jonathan gout, he watched the rice live to see cause war home take point 76 of a 2nd. will record well records in the spring for not broken by not much anymore. i mean get 2021 and i'm running this event prob 120 years. you just don't see

breakthroughs of that magnitude and for him to do it on the biggest age imaginable . and then from right benjamin analysis centers, right. bedroom? well on the previous record, alpha. understand those mit billable record by point 0. 2 just phenomenal. one of the most amazing incredible races i've ever saying, you know, it's always hard to place these things in context immediately. but this will go down as an iconic race in the history of the lengthy track and field along with you sample 9.69 in beijing. and david reduces one or 2.91 in the 800 meters in london. it belong to that conversation and very well may be the greatest race with ever seen. he smashed the world rec, worn by greater percentage than you same ball ever did. so he's got to nowadays i think that the next bolt thing of the bolt replacement thing that's never going to you never going to get another use same bowl but cost more home himself is

a fantastic athletes and really painting athletes a watch. so yeah, ira, the bulk comparison is fair for anyone to try and build, but he's a massive star and hopefully we'll get even bigger off this foreman's us gymnastics . my bible says winning brahms and the balance beam final means more than all the gold because of what she's been through. the 24 road pulled out of 5 events and take care of just struggling with her mental health. but it was a successful were sent to action. she walked away with a metal off. the finishing behind 2 chinese confesses biles, at least the games with a silver and a bronze to go with the forego. she wanted to rear games in 2016. yeah. well, to bring the topic of mental health, i think it should be talked about a lot more, especially with athletes because i know some of us are going through the same things and we're always told to push through it. but we're all a little bit older now. we could kinda speak for ourselves, but at the end of the day, we're not just entertainment, we're humans, and there are things going on behind the scenes that we're also trying to juggle with as well. on top of sports,

cyclist jason kenney is not great. britain's most decorated olympian, he claimed silver in the teams friend for his 8 meadow, which equals the number chiefs by fellow cyclists. bradley wiggins. although kenny has one more gold and silver, kenny and his teammates last out to well champions, netherlands in the final as they were goad in men track fighting for the 1st time in 85 years. and it was a good day for the kenny family because his wife laura will say, one sofa and the women's team to state so well since that abrasions in that household made out. anyway, that's wasteful, or 20000 churches to iraq from day to back. 4000 years, most of them were stolen after the us invasion of iraq in 2003. but ok or just say several other ancient artifacts are still missing. the unprecedented return follows the iraqi prime minister's visit to washington last week, where he met with us president joe biden. that's it for me. don't tell us this news
