hello there remains hot, sunny and dry across the levant and middle east. and we are going to see temperatures continue to rise as we go into the next week. not just in iraq and to wait, but also in some of the gulf states and have a look what happens on monday, we've got the temperature in kuwait nearly touching 50 degrees celsius for saudi arabia. we've got a little bit of an internal wind kicking around, but for the stronger when we got ahead to the southern areas of yemen and our mind is a breeze there that's keeping those temperatures down and things are feeling slightly cooler. we've got a few showers to the west of yemen, kicking up into saudi arabia and these join up with those storms brewing across the open rift valley smith, it's heavier. downpours felt in south sudan. we could see more flooding. we have seen flooding in sudan. those flood waters continue as those rains continue to fall

down. now the gulf of guinea is seeing a number of storms. and as we go into monday, it's nigeria. that's going to see some of the heavy down pause there. now to the south of this, it is looking a lot dryer, and a lot warmer we've got. temperature is above average in botswana in namibia and for south africa to similar story with johannesburg at $23.00 degrees celsius. the frank assessments, by way it is again freedom, surprising informed opinions what you saw happening is come months if there was 42, there was petune is the critical debate that we are here. it's not between kula and any other group that we have concrete here between 34 years. re running that even people in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story. on our

jazeera, freezing winds and rugged terrain and at times seem impossible. but for afghan traders who brave the con corridor, that is no choice combating the impossible to sound that goods in isolated area. we follow that daring journeys as they overcome the extremes. risking it all i've got is john on al jazeera, me oh, a 1535 g. exactly. your top stories, the tunnel button says it's captured

a 2nd provincial capital after weeks of fighting in ship a gun. now the government is sending reinforcements and conducting air strikes to try to re take control protest as in thailand being facing off with the police and the capital bank called the demand and the resignation of the prime minister and according to urgent performs the monarchy and wild science burning north of the great capital athens. suppose thousands of people to leave their homes. vast areas of pine forest burning at defiance of getting closer to residential areas. several people have been arrested for us, not columbia and panama. say they will work together to stem the flow of thousands of micro stranded on the border around 10000 people from cuba, haiti, and countries as far away as gonna, molly and toko, a stuck in the small, bought a ton of new cockily foreign ministers of both countries say they will improve transport and traveled routes from migrants, panama. we'll host

a regional summits on the crisis next week through his abode jones's life now from nicole cli in columbia, theresa regional summit, sir, all fine and dandy, but what kind of solutions can they come up with? because it looks like the need is real and it's present and they need to do something quite quickly. well, definitely, there's lots of tension where we are right now on the ground. this historically has been a trend said point for my grants coming from south america and other countries heading towards the united states. what they do is they come to this town of nic oakley, and they have to cross towards a big goal for food about which is what we're showing you right now. and then from there they had towards panama, central america, mexico, the united states, or canada. but what happened is that because of the pen that make border closures, among other things, many migrants were being held back. now, the economic crises that's happening in south america, in many countries like brazil and sheila, where many of the people are coming from their haitians. but they were living in

many of those countries for them to try to find other alternatives. and that's why they're here today. what we know is the thousands of people have started to write and while many left and we're being able to, to continue with our journey, many are being stranded. we have spoken to people that have been here for 23 weeks, and they don't have, do not have enough resources to sustain themselves here. and that's why the government of colombia of panama are trying to find a solution to how to allow that migration of these people to continue in a safely way the abuse chanted this people in front of the ferry office in the colombian town of middleton. they come from haiti and have been waiting for weeks for a chance to grasp the goal for food and continue with our journey towards the united states and canada. but the ferry announced they will only take 200 people a day, even though they sold more than 1000 tickets. via jump up,

he says he needs to leave columbia. now, again, i guess we've been here for a month. we want to travel, but they won't let us go. we are in the sun with no food, no water, no money. what we need is for them to let us go. we don't want to be here. we don't have any more dollars. we need a solution. as pin demick border closures to have east this small town has been overwhelmed by the arrival of some 22000 people. people have been waiting for days. children, pregnant women, ready, embark on a very dangerous journey ahead, which is to cross the gerry and gap by the way, just costing them they have to pay for for a place to live and many are running out of money. it isn't only haitians who have come here long $1.00 fee is from ghana. he was living in brazil, but the ban demik and economic situation force him to leave for fun damage night when he's done everything was right every day. that's

a good thing. i need to be rain 500 and all of our kids are very good. you know, that is the very, very margery. but you can't afford to get to the new order loose on game to move. people here are on their own. so far, we have seen very little assistance from long enough already before and ministers of columbia and panama met on friday to discuss how to organize the flow of migrants and protect them from traffickers, criminals, and the dangers of a darian gap. but these people say they have no time limited resources. they say they only want to continue with their journey that will help them find a new life. but theresa, if they improve transport links in that border area, doesn't not just shift the problem further north. because if the, if the border into america is sealed, it sealed,

there's nothing they can do about it apart from get to that border area north of where you are just now. well people arriving here with what they say is hope and rain. they say that they want a new life and they don't, they're not concerned about what's coming next. what they do is they try to take measures to protect themselves. they know that there's drug traffickers on the jungle. they know that they're going to have lots of impairments that will have to face, but what they told her, for example, is that they're getting together in groups of 10 or 14 people to be able to make the crosses. but they try to take care of women because they know that some people have been killed. that was just a rumor here that a person had been killed in this past week. and they were very concerned about it. and that's why your forties are gathering and trying to get together to find a solution. what a government, for example of columbia was proposing, if to declare one. so entry point into panama,

people will be forced to go into dangerous paths through the jangle colombian authorities are offering to try to get some protection along the way. so people are not robbed or not exploited because some of these people are being charged in us dollars and that money they do not have. so most definitely this is something that needs to be dealt with. people here are saying that they won't be stopped, that they have an objective that they need a better life. they're re, scaping from cry says and what they're saying is that hopefully they'll be able to find a solution so that they can leave the support it's border area phone. teresa, thank you very much to the joining lie from nicole clay in columbia. nicaragua was electro tribunal has disqualified the main opposition party from november's presidential election. citizens for freedom is accused of violating election laws. installation moving a crack down on the opposition by president daniel or take us government to run virtually unopposed as he seeks a 4th consecutive term. eric vaughan's worth is

a vice president of the council of the americas. he thinks western powers need to do more to ensure free and fair elections in nicaragua. i'm not sure what kind of an election you could even call it other than just the coronation of a president, who frankly has now created conditions where he can't lose it will be a vote that will be taken, but it won't be an actual action. i thank you for the elections were held in a free and fair way. there's a great chance that he would lose because the nicaragua, people are frankly sick and tired of his role is a capricious protesters have been thrown in jail and in some cases killed. and the president of showing no real desire to compromise or to negotiate. so i think there's also another element here too, and that was life rosario maria, who is the vice president of nicaragua and run in and of course on the same ticket . and there's a lot of speculation that she has really fallen one string here and really wants to

make sure that in fact he wins. because it's also her 2nd to continued power. and you know, as of age does its thing and takes its course. there is no guarantee that the presidents were taken will be around for eternity, and so she would presumably be the successor. so she wants to continue her own will as well. in fact, every time the us or europe announces sanctions the government, the vicar, we don't care and takes the next step. and in fact, just today, the united states announced another visa, a restriction on 50 more, nicaragua, not officials, and family members of nicaragua and officials. but that's been the problem because to this point, the actions that it's been taken have primarily been designed to punish, but they've been relatively limited visa restrictions, travel restrictions. but at the end of the day, if ortega and maria don't want to travel to the united states to europe anyway,

what good does the visa restriction do? and they don't want to travel to the u. s. a. europe. so it's, it's a lot of symbolism there. i really think that the next steps are going to have to be much more significant. now in venezuela, the us dollar is fast becoming the currency of choice for those who can get it. the local currency has been made effectively worthless because of hyperinflation. now the government's come out with a plan to try and fix that as our latin america editor, the see and human, no reports. just like you can't judge a book by its cover, you can't calculate the value of in israel as currency by the number of zeros that are added or subtracted as of october. first, this 100, we'll leave that note, will be the highest denomination equivalent to today's 100000000 boulevard. note that means 6 zeros will be removed from a currency that has been sold to valued by hyperinflation. that it's become practically worthless. carmen, this is only for the bus we want to come at the ball of us. now i run

a useful for public transport or nothing else. everything else is paid with us dollars. when is when the currency costs much more to make than what it's worth? inflation in the 1st 4 months of this year was nearly 300 percent. and last year it was 3000 percent. that's why the country's de facto currency has become the us dollar. but millions of venezuelans don't have access to it. by slashing 6 zeroes offered currency, the government hopes to reinstate the widespread use of its own coin, initial frame. but also it has certain advantages, but these advantages don't generate benefits from a strictly economic point of view. that would require a series of measures to control inflation, to avoid more rican versions of the currency. the socialist government flashed 3 zeros from its currency in 2008 and 5 zero's 2018. so deal he'll kill is not optimistic that 6 will do the trick. when i look at it,

this is going to become what it's already become. as all the currents is here, because they have all become worth the saw, that is layla has been experiencing its worst economic crisis in history, reducing bills to single double or triple digit denominations, rather than millions would certainly make crisis easier to calculate. but unfortunately, it won't make the embattled believer more valuable. she and human al jazeera preparations are on the way in the united states for memorial events, marking 20 years since the attacks. on september, the 11th relatives of victims continue to demand answers as to whether the saudi government was involved. they want the us president joe biden to release documents long held from the public. rob reynolds reports now from washington. some family members of the nearly 3000 people killed in the september 11th 2001 attacks

on new york. the pentagon and pennsylvania say president joe biden should stay away from the 20th anniversary memorial observances unless he agrees to declassify documents, they believe may show links between the attackers and the saudi arabian government . bret eagle since father bruce was killed in the world trade center attack 20 years is far too long for anybody to wait for information on murder of loved ones. the united states government has documents. they admit that they have documents which show complicity on behalf of the kingdom of saudi arabia. the ice is, garrett has gone to great lengths and great extent to keep this information buried from public. the classified materials they are demanding include an unrestricted version of the f. b. i's report on weather. saudi nationals living in the u. s. provided help to the 911 hijackers under orders from the government in re on the

1800 member families group released this public message saying that as a candidate biden promised greater transparency and pledge to release more documents, but has failed to do so. the bush, obama and trumpet ministrations all declined to declassify the materials, citing national security interests. the families have no way of keeping biden from attending memorial ceremonies, but hope to bring moral pressure to bear. so far. the whitehouse has not responded publicly to the families groups letter. this is an outcry for help from, from the administration. he has a storage oppertunity to do what previous administrations before him failed to do. a bipartisan group of senators has proposed new legislation to force the government to release class 5911 investigation documents, or given explanation on why it cannot. the american people should be outrage that

their government continues to conceal this evidence and information without any explanation or justification to them. if cause is bigger than these family, even though it is justice for them that is immediately at stake, the saudi government ought to be held accountable in court and in the court of public opinion. 15 of the 19 hijackers on 911 were saudi nationals, the 911 commission concluded in 2004. if there was no evidence to support claims of a high level saudi roll in the attack. the commission, we visited the issue in 2015 upon discovery of new evidence, but did not change any of its conclusions about official saudi involvement. rob reynolds al jazeera washington. ah,

a best row of 87.58 meters. india 1st of limpid gold medal and track and field. and can you have finished 1st and 2nd in the women's math? and while american, molly c. o has that taken a surprise bronze? more than a dozen of the 88 runners failed to finish the race. clouds gathered near the finish line in sufferer despite the heat and a ban on spectators. some limpid volunteers were holding funds, asking people not to stop and watch the race with those who did witness the medicine. say it was a unique test to watch an elliptical event then maybe there, but my 1st chance to watching what you all in take. so this is maybe last time for me. so that's why i'm here. the us men's basketball team have won the basketball gold for a 4th, a lympics in

a row. they beat fast, 87 to 82 in the limbic, in the final team was led by kevin durand who became the u. s. is highest curious score with his 29 point. it's just a jury. those are so a poor and you realize, you know, you finished a job, you get to go metal, you get the, you know, the trophy. but when you go to the journey manages, it is incredible to be a part of some so special. and i'm bonded with these guys to life stanley for life and i'm just grateful that we are committed to this early and we start it and finished it all. and to pan have beaten the usa to win the men's a baseball as the 1st gold medal. in the event for the japanese, the top rank a team winning to nothing. so the guns at the ha has the 75 kilogram of cool me tie karate gold, despite being knocked out by saudi arabia. ta ta comedy. the judge disqualified him

problem for our athletes from the perspective of sporting results. and we've all seen this with our own eyes. our target was to perform better than in real. middle total obviously shows now that the target has been hurt. now and the tokyo gains finish on sunday, japan will pass the olympic flat to france, organizes for the parents 2024 games half promised a more cost effective lympics, more accessible to the public and it was just send reports from tokyo. the tokyo games are still to finish, but already parents who stepping up in preparations to welcome the world in 2024. the olympics will soon be back in the city. the 3rd time simone says, do the whites is our campaign to win the games began, the moment received olympic flag has been in our heads. and in our hearts that would mean that after a weight of 100 years, the games are returning to paris. paris 2024 compared to paris.

1924 will be on a very different sporting and financial scale. tokyo's budget has just set an unwanted new record. the price factor, the total gains has officially topped $15000000000.00 and is expected to go even higher than already the most expensive some games ever staged. and more than half the bill is being picked up by the japanese taxpayer olympic critic, se tokyo was onto a loser even before the costs of holding the gangs during a panoramic. and without the presence of spectators were taken into account. we can not get the profit and maybe just we know to hold olympic games makes it only so the basis for the new infrastructure was for new national stadium, which will be good. but the big problem is it's putting nothing for the people, games in the very heart of the city. the french capital is aiming to start

a new era of cost effective olympics with most events being held at preexisting venue organizes claim private money will account the 97 percent of the budget. the head of the parish organizing scene told me any new facilities that designed to have a lasting impact. we have in sun sunday near territory, which is very young, but very poor. so, and we will built quite a lot of facilities that will offer your book, unity for people to do sports after the games we build also houses for this territory because there is a big need and 10 houses. so the legacy will be when they get the useful for the population. harris games are hoping to prove it is possible to light the olympic flame without burning a hole in the public's pockets. and richardson al jazeera tokyo. and that is for, for me, we'll have more for you later on, but for now it's back to pizza. santa, thank you very much. when we come back on the other side of the short break,
