then we need to be slides on the knees out from london. after years of research and conflict, look at the children of gods, or in the effect. it's hard on them. and the american gymnast simone biles is the most marketable athlete. leo will tell you why in sport. ah hello there, it's a divided picture weatherwise across europe on tuesday was a cooler wet weather in the spot for the west is is looking finer and dryer thanks to high pressure that's sitting across the northwest. so that's going to bring more settled, weather and sunshine to the british isles and large areas of france. but as we move further east, we are things very wet and windy weather that's going to push into ukraine.

ambiguous as well as western parts of russia as we go into wedding stay. now we're also seeing some of that rain pick up across central areas of italy and the balkans as we go into wednesday with some heavy falls in romania. but farther south it is looking dry and the heat is coming through for grief. now as we go up north, we can see that we've got some strong winds, low pressure dominating across scandinavia, and that is going to keep things rather wet and windy as we go into wednesday for denmark and some of those baltic states we are expecting some pretty heavy rain to fall in finland, but for the south that is looking a lot to dryer. and as we move across to the north of africa, it's generally fair and why across most areas. but we will see if you coastal showers, kicking in to morocco, that your update the,

the grim consequences of mexico's bloody drug. watch the people around you, mr. governor, you've got people who are with the narco, through the eyes of the journalist, determined to report the truth. your government is full of knock me. she said, that's how the article should start. 60 a zone we revisit the report is still risking their lives. being another outbreak of violence of more versus rewind, the deadly beat on out there. the native need to bring home if you can hear me, you know, doing the best job they can. we've seen one water to teen at wells far further detail covering the government since the taliban is relying on human shields and losing people shot the phone from around the world. the price tag to the toko games have officially felt $15000000000.00 that already the most expensive summit games ever stage. well,

oh, i come back, i'll main story now. taliban, his want of consequences of us and allied troops remain in afghanistan. the on the withdrawal deadline at the end of august, us president joe biden is under pressure to keep american troops there. but us says that the evacuation can be completed in the remaining 8 days. national security advisor jake sullivans that the officials were in daily contact with the taliban. i've been substantial progress in the operation. we staying with our top story in china saying that it's closely following developments and has called on the taliban to form a fed government. upson, u. k,

but we hope it's going to stay and conform and inclusive and open government, which adopts a phone and domestic policy that's prudent and moderate. we hope elected the will of the people in an international community. all those comments come off to china. welcome to taliban delegation to the northern port town. jen, just 3 weeks ago. katrina, you has more on this now from aging. china has been maintaining close communication with the taliban in the lead up to its takeover of afghanistan. china is really concerned about how this is going to play out for china and for the region. it's looking at this as one possible opportunity for aging, for example, looking at maybe expanding its economic investments in the country, looking at some minerals or resources in the country that wants to really stay close to the taliban in case it can make the most of those opportunities, but at the same time, china is really very anxious about this situation. it doesn't want to see the

country become a hot bed for extremism and for terrorism, especially because china shows a very small border with i've gone a son in the past. separatists have use this border to enter china's shin young region. so trying to really wants to look at what it can do to play a role in afghanistan reconstruction, so that it might help to maintain stability in the region, but also so it can protect and potentially expand its or an interest. and at the same time, while china says it's looking to work with the taliban, it's also looking at this opportunity as basically a p oppertunity to criticize the us and point out that this is an example of us failure and us unreliability in the region. as china increases its interest in afghanistan, the united states is shifting the focus of its foreign policy further eastwards towards the indo pacific region. vice president cumberland harris is currently touring the region whether concerns of a chinese influence. she has been visiting

a naval base and singapore and addressing sailors from a u. s. warship, before heading time next off in vietnam. it is in our vital interest to stand united with our allies and our partners in se asia, in defense of a free and open into pacific, free and open. again. this is the work you are doing every day. policy, people talk about it, foreign policy, people talk about it. we talk about it in diplomatic meetings, free and open. joining us now via skype from washington is abby bar. she's in asia policy analysts for the center for american progress. how awkward is this next leg of come on harris's trip given the parallels that are being drawn between vietnam and afghanistan. thank you so much for having me

tonight. i think, i think the white house is very aware of how the fall of the ball is looking a lot like the fall of saigon at the same time, i think, you know, the united states is there to show that they're committed to their presence in asia that they're going to be shifting their focus to be in the pacific region to great our competition with china. and so it's going to be a tough balancing act. but i think that the white house is well aware of the optics is going to do their best to try to focus on the task at hand, even though i think what's going on. and again, it's, and it's obviously going to take up a lot of airspace that this trip would otherwise get. right. so the unintended consequences of a swift and hasty withdrawal, the way in which this departure was executed, could that in perhaps months from now disrupt this attempt to redirect us diplomacy and foreign policy? absolutely, i think this is the, the with her over my dentist and it's obviously going to take more resources than

the united states currently have committed to it at the same time, i think the fact that they are doing this with withdrawals. 4 suggest that there is going to be a focus on right as there is going to be more focus on the endo pacific. but there will be issues in afghanistan, probably calling attention back to the region in a way that the bided administration was hoping to avoid. how is the damage to us credibility as a result of that affecting the way countries in the the, in the pacific region view, america's attempts at deepening relationship. so i think you see 2 competing schools of thought come out. you see some folks who are arguing that countries and asia are going to see this as a lack of us credibility, as you know, a fact that they can't trust what the united states does. it's going to provide in terms of defense and security. on the other hand, you have folks who say that because the united states is doing this now they're going to be a more credible resource to their allies and partners in the,

in the end of the day. because there will be, let them a distraction from what is going on in afghanistan. i think, you know, it remains to be seen which direction that actually goes on. i think you're also seeing, you know, countries and politicians around the region in, in asia, in se, asia, using the withdrawal from afghanistan for their own political purpose is regardless of what they think the united states will actually be doing next. what does the taliban controlled afghanistan mean for china? i think it's, you know, an opportunity for china in terms of being able to provide aid and resources and help potentially. i don't want to say that they know they're going to look to stabilize. it stabilize afghanistan. but it is going to be an opportunity for, i mean, we're already thing that trying to sort of ahead of ahead of the curve in terms of creating diplomatic relations with the taliban. and they could potentially be on the lead of a global. i don't wanna say a global effort, but a global trend and recognizing this new government, i know you to kind of in particular concern about what they call, you know,

ethnic that protests and terrorism that could be emanating from their region. and this could be their chance to help crap, the next craft the narrative and also you know, doing one on the united states for the, for the, for the bungled withdrawal from couple and the country. thank you very much. appreciate it. abby bye for joining us down from washington. 11 in the previous government's attempts to provide cheap fuel for citizens has backfired fuel subsidies lead to smugglers exporting the cheaper fuel. instead of using it domestically was now a crippling fuel shortage. and a government you turn in a hunter is in by roots where the cost of petrol is rising dramatically. for week 7 on has been experiencing severe fuel shortages, it is paralyzing the country and the economy. people wait for hours in line outside gas stations, most of the time fuel is not available. the reason for this crisis is that living

on is an economic turmoil. a few months ago, the government decided to subsidize fuel in order to avoid a social explosion. but now the central bank says it has run out of foreign currency reserves. the government subsidies policy has been criticized because what has happened is that a black market has been created and many are smuggling cheap. fuel anti adults, it's a neighboring period. the government is trying to call the crisis by gradually lifting a subsidies, but it is not working. stop kept measures are not. the solution has been law, which holds political power, along with this allies in lebanon, is now planning to enforce fuel from iran. it's a decision that has been criticized because important iranian oils could lead to sanctioning the state as well. and just this is going to let you know that the state is not involved. but at the end of the day is part of the system and many are

criticizing this move as a ways to show that they are not part of the problem as well portrays itself as outside the faith went along with this allies. they control the state, many will say the only way for the sustainable solution is for those who hold power political parties. politicians agree to carry out reforms to fight corruption, structural reforms needed to resolve living on the economic crisis. but doing that would mean that these political parties in one way or the other are committing political suicide because they lose their control over the states. climate campaigners have taken over london, trafalgar square gulf a 2 week long protest. activists from across the u. k. converging at the fane famous monument, the group is known for bringing the city to a standstill and has chosen the week of a busy public holiday to stage the event,

the hoping to pressure the government to do more to stop pollution. there are only interested in academic grade and just look at the weather. economic growth is what causes a broken weather system. it's so easy to just berryhead and then ignore it. but i decided i didn't do that anymore. i believe. and we need to show people that we have the power of the community to come together and show that there are things that need to be changed while a massive app purifier is the latest addition to the new delhi skyline meant to reduce staggering levels of smog in a country that time to 14 of the 15 most polluted fifties in the world. and we had more than 1600000 pollution related tests in 2019 as part of the mental reports. not everyone's impressed with the idea this brightly colored imposing structure in the heart of new delhi is the city's latest attempt to fight air pollution. the 24 meter tall outdoor air purifier has 40 funds which built at

the air around it. the pilot project cost taxpayers nearly $3000000.00. and this is result of an order issued by the supreme court in 2019 so gothic oddity got you got reaping the smoke dollar will purify it within a $1.00 to $2.00 radius. we had experiment with the new technology here and will continue to monitor the dollars performance. daily has previously taken several steps to address its pollution problem. these include banding chord power plants, limiting the number of vehicles on the road and stopping construction during peak pollution season. despite this, the city is engulfed by smug every winter as its air quality breeches, hazardous levels, or double. i feel many issues because of the pollution. it's hard to walk on the streets in my health also worse, and i end up taking many medicines those days. you know, if i need to get

a lot of good, i've heard about the smoke towers in china and other countries. i haven't seen one in delhi, but i am glad it was installed. it may bring down the pollution levels here. while the government plan to study the impact of the small town for 2 years, experts warn it may not be effective. now you require the posen to be, you know, for every nook and cranny of the city. to be able to sort of really make tangible difference. you're kind of mean and that's, that's insane amounts of money. we shouldn't be popping it in, but that next month, another small tower is set to become functional in one of deli, most polluted neighborhoods. emissions from vickers and industries are the leading cause of pollution issues that experts say new technological innovation, but also social and political will to tactless. talk me miss that i'll just, you know, usually children in the gaza strip and getting

a welcome escape from some of their troubles as cinema bosses rolled into town with a message of hope. gillian wolf has more one by one. these children climb stairs garza's new cinema bus, eager to see what film awaits them inside. did ken infiniti head off? all was really nice with lots of adventures and it's the 1st time of rush to moving a bus. the new initiative is supported by the european union and run by a local charities. it offers a range of films designed to promote peace tolerance and non violence. both the cinema cinema bus has an indoor and outdoor screens into screenings can accommodate 60 people, as well as the physically impaired. the outdoor screen can be adapted to different sizes and can accommodate up to 500 viewers. in the 1950s cinema flourished and gaza, people with delight and films from the arab asian and western world. but that all came to an abrupt end during the palestinian uprising in 1987 when movie theaters

were set on fire. the film industry has never truly recovered since then. today, gaza is home to a little more than 2000000 people, but only those with permits are allowed to travel beyond its borders. inside there are limited options for cultural experiences. so families try to enjoy stones at home, but the cinema bus offers a welcome change. in my head, the cinema is really nice. i wish we had a big cinema like this one. so we could always go to it because we don't have access to things like this. it's the 1st time it was a movie in a cinema like this, a movie about love and caring about yourself. a message designed to reach everyone along the gaza strip. joint wolf, al jazeera, russia has a long and proud history of sporting success and now a long and proud history of tank building as well. so it makes perfect sense to bring the 2 together every year in this event known as the tank by avalon cruise

but now with thank you miriam will french police will close the south stand at the french football club. nice for the next for home games following the ugly scenes on sunday involving local fans and visiting team mar, say the match was abandoned with 15 minutes ago after nice supporters invaded the pitch and confronted opposing players. trouble flared with marcell star dmitri pe was hit by a plastic water bottle, and then he threw it back into the crowd. kay, also rested amid a mass of players, stuff, and security before marcell players eventually left the pitch. the match was an abandoned with nice leading one. no more than of course everyone saw what happened . things are pretty clean. we had bottles of water thrown that can't be challenged . i think unfortunately, what set fire to the situation was the reaction of to my say play is throwing bottles of water into the stance without support is and after that,

a chain of events occurred, which i really regret. i also think the ma say security service didn't have to intervene on the peach, and above all, hit al players. over in england, west ham striker mchale, antonio became the clubs, all time leading scorer and the premier league surpassing. united legend followed the can you the 31 year old broke the record with the strike in the 80 minute against luster. is 40 a goal for west ham was soon followed by number 49 united going top of the table after a 41 victory. american gymnast simone biles has been ranked as the most marketable athlete in the world. sports pro media came up with the list by tracking how often an athlete posts, how they engage with fans, and who they reach online. more than 7000 athletes were in the running with algorithms following activity on facebook, twitter, instagram, and tick tock. now the top 3 of these athletes are female including biles,

tennis star, naomi, osaka, an american goalkeeper, ashlyn harris made the list christiano. rinaldo is surprisingly behind his teammate paulo. the bala and the phone sits the past is the top male tennis player out rincon. novak joke of ich, and roger federer, the director of sports pro media says the more marketable athlete is, it doesn't always mean that they are the most famous. one of the most interesting comparisons in this is list is christiana, and although, and the bala, the expectation for, for most of us would be will. of course, rinaldo is far more marketable and probably would be expected to top the list or if not be in the top 3 and he's not. and not only that is he's further down the rankings than his teammate. an event is to bala and what does that come down to? it comes down to audience. when, although it's far bigger, it's enormous. it is the biggest in sport by an absolute country mile box. he has got significant problems when it comes down to engagement and when it comes down to

sentiment, his reach is enormous. but actually the number of fans that genuinely engage with all those content is actually quite low, comparatively, even more so than that is a huge amount of negative sentiments. with those who are engaging with rinaldo, whenever he's playing a team, that is an event us the hate that he gets from teams that aren't even in syria or on in the champions league and just throwing it out. rinaldo is massive words, depaula. and again, because he highlights the his purpose in sport and he is genuinely authentic with that communication. it means that a fan base when they're engaging with him or engaging positively. so although the ball has got a smaller audience, the engagement is higher, the positive sentiment is higher. we then go a step further and look at the ball as audience in comparison to rinaldo, high, a propensity to buy high value items. luxury goods, high value travel packages and that sort of things. the demographics of the ball is

audience makes him far more marketable van. rinaldo, you then have a look at how many partners rinaldo is gone. rinaldo has got over a 100 sponsors. how much of an impact can he have for one of those sponsors? really? how much does he genuinely care a by the responses is they will fence if the is it an actual partnership? whereas when you compare that to depaula his teammates, the authenticity is very, he's got far, few responses, he's got fall few partners, and he is working with those partners on initiatives that he believes in. it is not just a paycheck. fascinating will african athletes will not be at the tokyo paralympics because of the turmoil in their country, but they will be acknowledged at tuesday's opening ceremony with the africana stand flag to be included. one athlete who will not be at the games is nullified by at the captain raskin a stands wheelchair basketball team. she's now in spain with
