the story convicted of embezzlement, the american who is one of the biggest foreign investors in russia says it's a political spit shop. and then in sports indian delights off to breaking a metals route that lasted more than 4 decades. ah. hello there. it's all about the brutal heat that's been plaguing the south east of europe. in particular, we've seen record breaking temperatures for greece and for turkey. and this was seen in athens. it was engulfed in smoke from wildfires that are continuing to burn in those hot and dry conditions continue on friday, not just here, but for turkey, for north macedonia, albania, and southern areas of italy where we are seeing those wildfires continue to burn, but things do change on saturday, with a change of wind was seen to temperatures,

it dipped down slightly. and when we looked at the 3 day for athens will be nearing the average. by the time we get into saturday, there's also some wet weather on the way for parts of turkey. and there's weather in the west. if we take a look, we can see some pretty heavy thunderstorms and downpours, affecting eastern areas of france moving into switzerland. we could see some flooding where those rains are heaviest. we've got unsettled weather for the british mild thanks to a swirling weather system. and scandinavia, seeing temperatures dipped down and remain rather cool thanks to a weather system, bringing the wet and windy weather with it. but further down south, it does remain rather hot and dry and it's a similar story in egypt with a temperature at 42 in cairo. the crime that shook japan or people get killed on one occasion in as bloody a massacre as this was, attracts a lot of report. there was just

a current drum. who did it, who did? who did it? have the conviction that led to the world's longest help desk road frisson and his sister's 47 year long battle to save him from executions. witness how come adam? japan's death row on a jazzy, investigative journalist and government panic, they didn't have the infrastructure they needed. they promised results in 5 days. but it's been a year examining. the headline. is this another potential flashpoint for conflicts voice is from different corner. every house here has someone who has made it to the top of ever. it's not just one, but several time program that you have in your i to not punitive you today on allergic. oh,

a back main stories now. fire fuel by a heat wave of raging and grease with 3 significant blazes. binding on the island of greece's prime minister is warned of more difficult days ahead with winds for cost to strengthen rebels from europe, his war tone region of tiger. i've taken control of lally baylor, the unethical world heritage site, and a sacred place to millions of orthodox christians. fighting into grey has spilled over into the neighboring regions of a fund hara in recent weeks. and then in chapter 20 for soldiers, there have been killed in an attack. why suspected buck around fighters? this happened on an island in the late charge region. now the biden

administration says it will offer a temporary, safe haven to potentially thousands of hong kong citizens. currently in the u. s. and response to china's crack down on human rights. president joe biden signed a memo that will allow their visas to be extended by up to 18 months. he said, china has continued its assault on hong kong or economy, including undermining the democracy and press freedom. last month, the u. s. applied sanctions on chinese officials in hong kong aging introduced a national security law last year, which gives it vast control over the samuel economists region. why now? why not a month ago? what is the u. s. seeing that's happening in hong kong that made the government say, we need to protect people who theoretically, could be facing real harm. p r. c. authorities seek to use the tools that they have given themselves. and that includes, of course, the national security law and other legislation to make arbitrary arrests,

politically motivated prosecutions, of opposition candidates, and politicians, activists and peaceful protesters with the goal it seems, or certainly the end result of creating an atmosphere of fear of self censorship, of repression. among the general populace and our measures to day are a response to these and other actions by the peer c and other hong kong and hong kong authorities to undermine again what was promised to the people of hong kong. and that is the high degree of autonomy, global corona, virus. cases of now past the 200000000 mark fueled in part by the del to very into the virus. and the as infection numbers continue to rise, access to vaccine still larger depends on where you live. wild health organization is concerned that well, few nations of administered a 100 doses, but

a 100 people when poor countries have just one and a half doses per 100. so it's urging the rich nations to pause plans to roll out boots booster vaccine chart. despite this, germany and france will start giving boosters and working on rolling out doses to the elderly and vulnerable from september. the u. s also said it's preparing to give boost as if it's required. meanwhile, indonesia cove a death toll has passed, 100000, the southeast asian countries record at 1700. 39. death in the late is 24 hour reporting period. that's more than any other country, and its health system is struggling as jessica washington reports from jakarta. as alarming as that figure of surpassing $100000.00 and sound, it's only a partial picture of the situation on the ground. some months ago, the indonesian government pledged that it would seek to scale up p c r, testing and, and devotee test around $400000.00 people each day. and that still has not happened

. so the reality is, is that at this point, we cannot be certain how many people died as a result of the virus. in particular, as more deaths have happened at home, what we do know is that 40 percent of that, but the current death toll 40 percent of those people died in july and august alone . we also know that as tests at home has increased, as people were turned away from hospitals, we've seen more cases of multiple deaths within the same family. now, some local groups, some independent data groups, are trying to get a more accurate picture of the scale of the crisis on the ground. and according to some estimates, they put the confirmed dest hole in recent weeks, at around 3 to 5 times higher than the official numbers indicate. now the government is keen to stress that they are seeing signs that the crisis is easing in some cities, in particular in the capital. but happy to me all just say it is too soon to be

optimistic. and in fact, they are concerned that fall from the situation easing. they are seeing signs that the crisis is spreading into provinces into remote areas with even lower rates of vaccination, with low rates of testing and with health care facilities that struggle under normal circumstances. japan, now there's anger as corona, virus infections, their eyes faster than ever stealing picks, hose that he toko is recorded 5000 daily cases for the 1st time. widely, japan government has extended emergency measures to 8 more regions. and richardson brings us more on what's happening in token 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 here in 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 the start

of that event. it's still possible, or 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 the state of emergency as we've discussed. although it sounds extremely dramatic. it's a request for people to stay at home and not go to the office. it's a request for restaurants and balls to close early. it's not a law or an order. so with a bit of pandemic fatigue setting. and 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 lympics to continue. so this line that the organism is hating that there's no provable link between what's happening within that quote unquote, by

a secure bubble of the lympics in the wider community. it is increasingly difficult to maintain or covered 19 as left thousands of people unemployed and homeless in bangladesh. the aid workers say the most alarming aspect is the number of children suffering from a lack of food and neglect. at a time when food banks are urgently needed, some or even struggling to stay open and extended restrictions haven't helped capture lopez, diane reports. this is one of the few food charities still operating on the streets of darker. in a day it will feel more than 2000 people, many unemployed because of covered 19. they include security guards, drivers and domestic workers. and among the group, there's also more homeless children. we just put our money and i can tell to the adults that there is no food. but how can you tell that to little children over the last year and a half kids who come here. they've become our family charities like mim on con.

depends on donations when bangladesh for shut down, because of the pandemic last year there were hundreds of volunteer groups. but corona virus fatigue has got in and people are now let's willing to donate. not everyone here is without a job, but many have seen their earning slashed a little over a dollar a day for 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. no, but i. as the delta vary and fuels a surgeon inception, some people have had to leave their jobs and take care of their 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 days lying inside a pocked bus, literally starving. many are left wandering the streets of the bangladesh, capital charities like lee can provide with often the only meal of the day, katya a little bit of the young al jazeera, the party that rose to prominence during tunisia. the revolution has softened it. stones on the latest crisis in the country and act upon me the rest of the 100. she says the current political turmoil is an opportunity for a form, the different tone to the one he struck last month when he accused the tunisian president of staging. a qu kai said, froze parliament sack the prime minister and ban public gatherings. often mass protest is still hasn't announced

a new government. israel's defense minister is warned, the country is ready to strike iran in response to a drawing attack on an oil tank off the coast of amman about a week ago. and he gans delivered the warning as israel also urged the united nations to take action. 2 people were killed in the attack, the u. s. u k, and others back israel's assertions that iran was behind the incident, but its leaders have denied any involvement. israel called the incident an escalation in iran activities in the region. the abil, hamid has more from west jerusalem. well, certainly it's been a tense week and i think that the political military and intelligence leadership would have been actually listening very carefully to what do new iranian president had to say. there has been a lot of rhetoric coming out of israel ever since that tanker, which is really managed, was attacked about a week ago in the gulf of

a man. israel immediately immediately pointed the finger at iran and then you had that tension. the border has been ongoing for the past few days. rockets being fired from southern lebanon into israel, and israel retaliated a lot of posturing. a lot of tough words. we've heard alter the same tough words from prime minister enough. the better to say 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 messengers of the security council members. he put forward to prove that iran was behind the attack on the oil tankers was certainly 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 and eventually in the attack on iran could cost it a lot about a rush and sprint ho refused her teams order to fly home early from tokyo, spoken publicly for the 1st time since arriving in poland. christina sumunah sky refused to fly home on sunday, telling japanese please, she was being sent against her will bella ruth says she was removed from the olympic team because of her emotional state. but the 24 year old insist she was single down for criticizing the people who coach on instagram and now fears her life. she is in poland on a humanitarian visa and says she's looking forward to starting a fresh chapter when i was in some code. sure, and from my, from our teams,

they come from my room and they say that they should say that they have some injury and come back home. if i will not do it, then it can get some problem in my country and they don't know which one problem. but after this day is able to come to my room to say that i have no chance to run 200 meters. and i should to come back to home and it's not their decision. they're just to, to do it. and when i got my closest and go to the car, my grandmother, she called me to see you come back home because on the tv, this is a lot of poor, but worst about use it. you have some mental health problems and maybe you can go to the hospital and told me to deal with and i feel myself much better here until the 750. and a lot of people support me here, and my husband, he is already in a road bike, hard to support, and so waive him today and he will be here maybe with me. so i just leave him now.

one of russia's most prominent farm businessman has been found guilty of embezzlement by a court. in moscow, american michael calvin was arrested in 2019 on charges that his supporters, they were brought, brought my politically connected business rival verdict, and the sentencing proceedings will continue on friday. journal reports michael, calvin once flew high as one of russia's biggest foreign investors. now the us business man stands convicted of embezzlement. the verdict of moscow court. so far, the judge as the prosecutor did earlier, has simply repeated the phrases in arguments from the december, 2019 preliminary accusation, ignoring hundreds of documents, testimonies, and expert witnesses that were presented during the trial over the last 7 months.

but it's not over yet. i hope tomorrow the judge will address the real facts. hope dies laugh as they say in russian. counties arrest and free trial, detention in 2019 shocked rushes business community already reeling from western sanctions and an economic slump. supporters claimed the charges against calvin company bearing vos stock lacked evidence, and that the country's judicial system was being used by a politically connected rival. even prominent russian business executives voiced concerns that the jailing of one of russia's few remaining major foreign investors might deal a fatal blow to business confidence in the country. a sentiment echoed by calvin himself as the trial war on in march. i think it raises a lot of questions because people who know me know that i've been one of the most positive foreign investors about russian always defending rush

does image in the international investment community. and so many people felt like if this happened, michael calvin could happen to anyone. but question mark over the case and it's motivation. we're no bar to success. it was backed by president vladimir putin himself, who publicly supported cal. these opponent in the banking dispute, the form, the background to the case. during the trial, michael calvin had said he hoped to remain in russia and that he was positive about the investment environment. view that will likely now have changed. jo, no whole al jazeera sport round out. now it's santa. thank you very much and i am well off the months of speculations, spanish giants barcelona have announced that leona miss, he will not be staying with the club. he said 4 year old origin time has been a free agents since the 1st of july when his deal expired. messi, who spent 21 years at bossa,

managed to agree in new contract with club barcelona say, however, that financial obstacles got in the way that you guys had told the cut down times that they have to reduce wages before messy or any other newcomers that can be registered. well the big question now is where will messy go by salma is the book his favorite, the cut her own club, flex the financial muscle in the past. by buying near ma for world record $270000000.00. man city are also one of the book makers, top picks. they're messy can your night with form a bus, a coach pip, guardiola. a return to tina seems very much an outside bed, but messy has previously expressed a desire to play for a boyhood a club, but a new old old boys before it has also said that he dreams of one day living in the united states and playing in the am, unless what we've been speaking to international football, jonas, gavin hamilton,

about which option is most likely the reverse clubs in the world. i couldn't afford to saw you. i would say there are only really 2 options for him. at the 2 wealthy clubs in the well, manchester city and parasites you, mark, mississippi today have just broken the british transfer record to saw in jack greenish from ashton villa. 400000000 pounds. so i don't think they have the resources to, to saw missy a because this is moving so quickly. i think perry sent him out probably the only option in terms of the club with the resources to citing the alternatives that he takes a little bit. so i'm out of the game, maybe science for major league soccer that's been talk in the past of him moving and ending his career in america, or even returning back home to rosario in, in austin teena. that's a long term possibility. but i think at the moment, parish, thank you for all the most lightly destination.
