but they say it's normal to to have some gunfire at night there. but in just in the last few hours, resident said they could see the, the gray and people's liberation from finances getting close. and then just a short while ago, they've taken control of the town to town with a population of 20000 people, but it couldn't be of greater religious and cultural and historical significance is a 100 years old, full of ancient church did. and in a holy site for years, millions of orthodox, kristian, but it is also a will appears to be a significant incursion on the part of the grand people's liberation from, from the north, coming into the territory of the enemy. they've been fighting with a mar of militia to the south, and now it seems they've taken control of this town as well inside the enemy's territory. but he's careful to remember that in this conflict thereon,

contingent front lines to speak of people control a town here and the other control the town that we can't we can't get it how much surgery is taken. but certainly this is as far as we've known, they've take taking the town into the enemy territory so far, that conflict could have been spreading into the m r afar region in the last few weeks. is this region, or is this time malcom strategically important? or is it the fact that they've taken it the signaling of the fact that they've taken it? the important thing here with terms of strategic important dinard to say in it what presence they actually have in the surrounding area if they've got supply line that they've taken broader territory. taking just one time we've, we've done much more that about it, but the significance of it couldn't be great. it's considered one of the sort of founding science to be visiting successive visiting heads of state have been

brought here to show them is one of the greatest historic sites and it's, it's important to the people themselves. so certainly a great not to, to do that to that, to that side in the conflict, the fact that their enemies come in and taken one of the most holy and historic sides right inside that territory. okay, malcolm many things malcolm web, the in my roby, iran's new president has pushed a message of national unity and reconciliation during his inauguration speaking just after he was sworn in abraham re seals to set his country's nuclear program is peaceful. and the pressure and sanctions won't deter the iranian people, right? you see face has several challenges as he enters office, including regional tensions and economic downturn and the global pandemic. the iranian these nuclear program is phase for these full pays for the nuclear

weapon has nothing to do with the policy. the strategy of iran, the breast shows and sanctions will never let down the iranian people we will defend our right inside and to fic development sanctions. on the iranian should come to an end out here is aaliyah, hash ems into iran. he was listening to mr. racy. the main take away from brain rice is features that is going to concentrate more in follow in foreign policy on regional neighbors. he said he's going to extend to governments is extended the hand of friendship to the regional neighborhoods at the same time with respect to the west is going to listen to initiatives to solve the problem. busy

problem, however, with respect to the nuclear program, it's not going to be at any time other than a peaceful program. this is what this is what he said 3 times. and then he repeated that his country would always prohibit producing weapons. this is on the foreign policy side from the other side, the side, the internal side. it was also trying to say, this is going to be the conciliation governments that's extend to hand to other people to other lines of thought in the country. moderate reform is, this is, this is a way on another attempt in order to spot and you phase, as you said, the country is facing economy prices. the country is also in the middle of really foreign stress as he said. and there are a lot of challenges on this, on this front. so this is what you see was trying to present himself to

the people off it on and also put up to the foreign maybe 10 days. earlier i spoke to the form of white house national security official, hillary man leverett, she said mister racy does face now an enormous task. i think the elevation of now president, right, you see into his position is enormously important. he may be one of the most important presidents in iran, modern history because he is likely to be the person next in line to become supreme leader. so he has an enormously difficult and enormously consequential challenge in front of him, which is to bring the country together, essentially to steady the ship internally domestically within the region and even on the international stage, to usher iran into a new era. i have, i wish the current supreme leader i told harmon a, i wish him good health and

a long life. but in an age of coded and with the supreme leader is increasing age. the country in iran and in the world has to really prepare for the next supreme leader. and that it's very likely to be ever humor easy. so he has an enormous challenge in terms of the mundane kept a running, any kind of country. but he also has these enormous aspirational tasks for an entire people to bring them into a new era. $200000000.00 corona virus infections and that figure is climbing rapidly. it took a year to reach the 1st $100000000.00, but total cases have doubled in half. that time the search is driven partly by the delta variant, but it's also highlighting the gap in vaccination rates between wealthy and poor nations. and that's why the world health organization is searching which countries to pause plans to administer booster shots. i understand the concern of all government to protect their people from the delta von and but we can not. and we

should not accept countries that have already used most of the global supply of vaccines using even more of it. while the world's most vulnerable people remain unprotected. well, indonesia is now the epicenter of asia's outbreak. with the death toll exceeding 100008 quarter of a 1000000 infections have been recorded in the last week alone and in japan. there is anger as infections rise faster than ever. the olympics host city tokyo has recorded 5000 daily cases for the 1st time. the prime minister says the games are not to blame. and which sins in tokyo, he says pandemic fatigue is now setting in among locals. and the numbers are escalating very quickly. i was standing hit a few days ago talking about the fact that daily tases wedding 3000 for the 1st time now we're up to 5000 and the state of emergency hearing. so care has already

been extended until the end of the month. that's significant from a sporting perspective, at least because they were hoping to allow fans and spectators in after this thought about events. it's still possible they could get them in the final few days because apparently picks runs until september, but it's looking increasingly unlikely. and the reason covet 19 figures have been relatively low until this point. a lot of people think is because of their personal sacrifices and nots government policy. the vaccine rollout was slow. the back story, there was it in the 1990. the japanese government was found liable for the side effects to 2 other inoculations. so there was a very slow process of approving the vaccine. and then you have this state of emergency as we've discussed, although it sounds extremely dramatic. it's a request for people to perhaps stay at home and not go to the office. it's a request for restaurants and bars to close early. it's not a law or an oldest with a bit of panoramic fatigue setting in. it's perhaps not surprising that some people are following those rules quite as closely as they might once have done,

particularly when that same government is also allowing the olympics to continue. so this line that the organism, it's happening that there's no provable link between what's happening within that's quote unquote bicycle bubble of the olympics in the wider community is increasingly difficult to maintain well confusion and panic sets in several vaccination centers in the philippines ahead of tuscany. restrictions there, a 2 week lockdown in manila, the capital has not started following a search in cases earlier. thousands of people lined up for jobs, fearing they wouldn't be allowed to leave home for work if they weren't for the vaccinated. official substance clarified that that is not the case. could be 19, has left thousands of people unemployed and homeless in bangladesh. and several charities are struggling to stay open despite extended restrictions. catchy lopez for the young reports. this is one of the few food charities still operating on the streets of dunker. in a day it will feed more than 2000 people,

many unemployed because of covered 19. they include security guard drivers and domestic workers. and among the group, there's also more homeless children. we just borrow money. you can tell to the adults that there's no from that. but how can you tell that little children over the last year and a half kids who come here, they've become our family charities, like men cannot depend on donations when bangladesh for shut down because of the pandemic last year there were hundreds of volunteer groups. but corona virus fatigue tested in people are now less willing to donate. not everyone here is without a job, but many have seen their earning slashed to little over a dollar a day. money. i'm a poor man for months. i've been suffering the effects of locked down. there is barely any income. that's why i come here to eat without guilt. as the delta vary and fuels assertion infection,

some people have had to leave their job and take care of their sick relatives. many businesses, schools and government offices have shut down, and hundreds of thousands of people are now unemployed. around 4 and a half 1000000 people in bangladesh, work in the textile industry. but corporate 19 has force many factories to close. while the government has allowed some to reopen a full recovery, seems a long way off. for workers, there are some hope, but they don't know how long it will last them here we can eat without worrying about the next day. before i knew about this place, i spent 2 hayes lying inside a pox bus. literally starving, many are left wandering. the streets of the bandwidth as she capital, hoping charities like the can provide with often the only meal of the day. a little bit of the young al jazeera, the constitutional court in france today, rules mandatory cooper, 900 health policies. courts largely comply with the republics funding charter. the

dragging was effect the monsoon trough, where this is plenty of rain to go around plenty of feed into this. widespread flooding, particularly for for young province in the southeast of china is very likely that the winds landfills and for the next 20 for other is going to be roughly 65 to his brother, not particularly strong and stupid, mind damage. i think the continuing threads are obviously from the rain, widespread flooding and the, the water will be rough in the taiwan straits, a particular onto the coast of china, big waves still. and obviously there's going to be something of a fetch being, being brought him with these constant winds. there it's, it thing is forecasts on saturday to more or less follow the coast, which means yet more of the same. and taiwan, typically western time won't be affected by that amount of rain to whilst that is happening, there are at least 3 other tropical circulations in the west of pacific, one of which not yet named, you'd like to increase the rain likelihood in tokyo, the olympic then use the rest of hung shoe beyond that of ot,

from big shouting to tron is much dry. ah, sponsored cattle airways capturing a moment in time. snapshots of the lives, of the stories provided a glimpse into someone else's. well, we what god, would we be a bite? go to inspire, in documentaries, from impassioned filmmakers. i am the voice out of the witness on al jazeera. ah, ah, the me.

i'll come back, you're watching out to 0. live from how your top story so far this half hour fighters from ethiopia to grow region have take control of the you and will heritage site have not been in the neighboring power region. places from m. r. i have helped the open government forces fight that the grounds around president says his country's nuclear program is peaceful and the pressure and sanctions went to the iranian people ever him raise. he made the comments just after he sworn in and the number of newly new daily corona virus infections in the olympic post that he tokyo has now gone above 5000 to the 1st time. since the beginning of the panoramic japan government has extended emergency measures to 8 more regions, a wildfire that reached the compound of a coal fuel power plant in the southwest of turkey has finally been contained after raging for more than 11 hours. strong winds drove the fire towards the chemical power plant in which the province russell cetera,

is near that power plant. in the area of miller's, he says the authorities are doing everything they can to stop the core from catching fire. we are in, in the village of camera k in mill us where the power plant is. and you can see that behind me, that is the maximum distance that we can approach. because the security p at the security forces are $100.00 people from getting closer to the power plant, but it is still too risky that has been report of the wildfires in the surrounding areas of the power plants through the last couple of days. but yesterday that was at the blame the blazes came to a very critical distance early in the morning, and then it has been taken under the control. but at afternoon, the flames returned back and the fire fighter managed to put i'm also out, but at the light time the, the turn wave came and it was the most critical one because for the 1st time,

the fires got into the terminal power plant. so it has been through the or that the heart a force and work it has been managed to be pulled out, but there are still many fires nearby. and given the current, these, the weather conditions, the strong winds, it can be carried out into the power the power plants court. and if that happens, it will not only trigger an explosion, but probably, and white a mantle disaster as well. well, in 100 wildfires are raging across greece. a major fire on the island. the area has force the evacuation of hundreds of people more than 165 flights as a battling that plays more a being flown in from france than bas robbie's in athens. he says the wildfires a spreading and they show no sign of slowing down. indeed the fires in the north of

athens had been put out. but let me show you where we're at. now. we've come back to the north of athens and just earlier today, fires re ignited and from of, from the high ground up here. you can get a sense of how serious and how bad the situation is. right now. what we're looking at down in that valley, just at the base of the bernie for mountains. that is the area of very bobby, the town there. korea naughty, there are 3 active wildfires there that we know of. we actually saw another one bubbling up along the base of the mountain on the way up. another fire that was emerging and starting, those are 3 very active and the government says very dangerous forest fires. they have re ignited on the same day that it was announced that the fires that had been going on for 48 hours had actually been put out. if you look at how high the smoke is rising and how quickly the flames are spreading, the smoke is so high up in the air, someone commented that it looked more like a mushroom cloud from a massive explosion than an ash cloud from a fire. and if you look ahead, you can see how close the flames are spreading to major populated areas. we knew the 2 areas had been ordered to be evacuated immediately. but if you look down

there, those white houses with the roof that you're seeing in front of you, those are all an area known as korea, natty and a resident who has joined us up here on the high ground has just said he's come from there. and they've ordered that area evacuated as well. so the circumstances here in the north of athens, very serious, no less serious around the rest of the country area. major evacuations ordered there, as well as in southern greece and the palate. one is and in multiple areas. and a fast moving wildfire has rode through a town in the us state of california. the dixie fire is this cold has been burning for 3 weeks and was swept up by strong winds as if at the time of greenville imaculi's state. most of the time center was destroyed and he was so intense that street lights melted. new climate information is showing that july was the 3rd hottest ever recorded. e, you sciences, say they were unusually high temperatures in regions stretching from finland to the united states. the for hottest julys have been in the past 5 years. israel's

fired from southern lebanon into israel, and israel retail getting a lot of posturing. a lot of tough words. we've heard alter the say tough words from prime minister enough. the better to said the same thing along what began said israel, israel would be ready to go ahead and attack iran on his own. however, there is also a lot of diplomatic effort going on yesterday. the foreign minister has met with the investors of the security council members. he put forward to prove that iran was behind the attack on the oil tankers was usually next to the very house where the harsh with rhetoric you also have a sort of diplomatic initiative to get everybody on board israel knowing very well that despite all these words going alone eventually in the attack on iran
