allied forces have ended their evacuation mission. now building 100 team 1000. people have been evacuation over the last 2 weeks, but only 3 days to go when slowly it is starting to wind down as, as the forces turn instead of getting their own troops out, the us had almost 6000 people on the ground, all their equipment. so then it's now slowly moving to start to get those troops out and all that equipment that thanks charlotte, and couple on to iraq, which is hosting regional summits and in an effort to promote peace and reconciliation in the middle east. it's also hoping for improve ties between saudi arabia and iran, which also attended the meeting 11 economic crisis and the war and yemen was expected to be on the agenda. my food under wide. is that the conference in baghdad and 1st my but what, what are we expecting from this? will according to iraqi officials, here,

a number of memorandum of understanding and agreements are expected to be signed by the stakeholder, especially. and it cannot make and trade feel about to also that is also pertaining to oil, energy sectors, electricity and also areas that are impacting iraq, specially as you know, iraq need to infrastructure. decades of conflict have taken a toll know rock and iraq is environment areas like culture, areas like development projects. and that's also by the way. 4 a continuation all this problem is that was hosted by iraq last june. the summit between iraq, egypt, and jordan, egyptian, and jordanian dedications are among the stakeholders here today. also on top of that political, political issues in the region that are impacting the region like the world and the

political and economic crises impacting lebanon. and also the water crisis, which is iraq, is one of the countries is severely impacted by the shortage of work. and especially this summer that directors had similar summit over the last year. what diplomatic gains do you think it's hoping to come to when it seems that iraq and especially this current to and the prime minister must have caused me as keen to regain a racks positive rule. and the region believes that the stability of iraq or the stability of the region also in pain, the stability of iraq, the stability i'm prosperity according to want to push it here, filling up the stability and prosperity of a rock is central for the ability of the region, iraq, by this, by holding this, someone is trying to play

a positive role in bringing rival countries together. remember here today, saudi arabia and iran, and we're hearing that there have been modest meetings, bilateral meeting between saudi and iranian officials on the margin on the sidelines of this summer. and giving the fact that there have been conflict in the area. iraq, iraq is trying to take or to play and you travel rule to take a neutral side and to go through these complex especially it has been complaining recently. it has been warning again, is it taking iraqi so as to settle the score, especially between iran and the united states? now efficiency, also speaking about ice and the rise of ice of frances in by the micron is here today and has been distressing, has been confirmed that france will continue helping iraq in the fight. again,

as i said, and also the, the trying to address the challenges facing the region, including the rise of, of tourism, the rise of the per says, the eisen and also the political rivalries in the region. for me, thanks for that my but otherwise the, in baghdad now it's being called a life altering storm. harken ida is make his way to the united states and gathering strength as it heads towards a gulf coast is already hit cuba, where it brought down trees and tour of roofs as it crossed the west coast of the island on friday. the national weather service predicts it will become an extremely dangerous country for hearken. by the time it reaches louisiana late on sunday, whether presented jeff harrington has the details. so here is where a hurricane ida. it's right now, as you mentioned, just barreled through western cuba and the biggest threat it's going to leave behind is bud slides when you consider sunspots picked up about 200 millimeters of

brains. so here's where it's go and this is a worst case scenario rate through the gulf of mexico. we'll talk about that in a sec, but 1st so landfall here we are on sunday. this is looking to make landfall as a category for hurricane late sunday. and i want to prepare for the worst case scenario here. so a cat for top wind speeds, we could see upwards of 250 kilometers per hour. you consider winds that intent, that it's going to pick up the ocean and drive it into the coast, otherwise known as storm surge, about 45 meters high. and we have to remember places like new orleans are actually below sea level, about 6 meters. and this is looking to make landfall toward the southwest of new orleans. so what's allowing for the intensification here? it's these very warm gulf of mexico waters, especially on the northern shores there. the temperature is about $32.00. so that's going to add fuel to the fire here just as it makes that land falls south west of new orleans. now all of this is actually happening around the anniversary,

the 16th anniversary of katrina, which also went through the gulf of mexico. it became a category 5 hurricane, but then weekend into a category 3 storm before i may combine, fall in louisiana. also we're keeping tabs on tropical storm nora, which is expected to also form into a hurricane, a category one, but not looking to make landfall. it will go through through the bay of california again as a category one, but that's still going to brush up against the baja california peninsula. so this will impact the popular tourist hotspot of carbo san lucas. so nick, a lot of tropical activity going on. but of course all lies on ida. alright, still ahead here. now does there find out why the president divergent tina has been indicted to touring a birthday party for the 1st lady to fight for equal voting rights. protest planned across the united states against new laws that make it harder for some people to cause the

this will impact carter with a high 33 degrees. a frontal system falling across the yellow river valley in toward the yellow sea. some instability for the korean peninsula, and we've got heavy falls for young joe on sunday. meantime, the heat starting to break for japan. this includes for tokyo, wednesday, your court temperature $29.00 and you're only feeling about $29.00 degrees, much more comfortable. enjoy season the on county, the coolest type of sonic missiles and the world of new alms rates as russia takes the lead and missiles that can fly up to 20 times the speed of sound. and we're wondering for this help, clear up motion big militants, insurgency will oil, johnson migrant workers for to come to the cost on al jazeera, the holding the powerful to account. as we examine the us,

his role in the world on al jazeera, the ah, again, you watch out your mind about top stories is out. the united states says it's killed an ice member responsible for climbing attack to try and strike nice enough. going to start after president joe biden warned his forces would come down those behind thursdays bombing a couple, airport b, u. s embassy, a couple in boarding americans against traveling to the airport because of security concerns can says specific credible threats against the facilities remain. iraq is hosting a regional summit in an effort to promote peace and reconciliation in middle east.

the numbers are expected to grow. as the indian government launches a new visa category for people fleeing the taliban, of the mental reports now from new delhi. of gone restaurant, sign bows in farsi and the aroma of freshly baked traditional bread have on the street. it's nickname, little cobble. it's the heart of the gone community in new delhi. mazata much as i has been living here since 2016. he video called his sister and have gone a son, who's been struggling to get a flight to india for security reasons. shares i asked us to hide her identity separate honeycutt. i've been very voted about my family and gone is done. the indian embassy cable is shut. the government has started an online visa. many people are scared for their lives. they don't have passports to come here. a not really god who nadia was recently elevated from cobbled by the indian government. she says it hasn't been easy to leave her home behind. horner yacht is of gone,

recognized by the indian government, refugees have limited opportunities to work, study and even find a home. i didn't leave the policy, requires them to assist each individual case, and that is a procedure with the headquarters of 1st grade. what we would request them to do is to move towards the recognition given that the situation has changed radically. and i've gone on to be more liberal in terms of assessing claims, especially of high risk profiles of such as women and children. while migration advocates urge the u. an agency to reset refugees to contain bee can eventually become citizens. these are gone, see if they will keep protesting on to the demands of met, pardon him at the algebra, new delhi. well, hotels and pakistan have been ordered not to accept guest for the next 3 weeks to make space for thousands of people from going to on security mess outside hotels have been beefed up as the countries also expect the number of foreign diplomats and journalists to arrive thousands of afghans have been crossing into pakistan

with many saying they've given up waiting to be flown out of the country. political divisions improve, have spilled onto the streets after the new government. one vote a conference in congress opposition, protested scuffle with police. after the vote. in favor of president petra christi is left with cabinet supporters of the president. social policies also turned out to fios free peru party as a minority conference that's controlled by sink right. coalition miranda sanchez says this report now from lima. loving to 73 legislators in favor and 50 against a cabinet approved a plagued with questions, lack of experience, allegations of corruption and prime minister. either we either accused of making a so called apology for terrorism by appearing to support the shiny pass extremist group. it put off, even some of the moderate legislators shouted at b,

either for making remarks in the indigenous good language, even though he was calling for a new start. can we want to face a different future difference from the unfair centralize elitist in deeply exclusionary country? the newly inaugurated leftist government will now focus on peruvians left behind the uses. the priority will be to tackle the pandemic that left nearly $200000.00 peruvian instead of 30 percent of the country in poverty did. they should be the priority of our social policy. it is time to begin to close this gap and access to rights. the chambers as peruvians, the it will be eastern. it's been a confrontational 1st month in office for precedent. federal castillo, analysts say a powerful and united right wing alliance in congress. me crush gust your and his team looking somewhere here in the home in norman there is an enormous lack of knowledge of how to govern a very complex state of understanding power and what you need to do if you want to

achieve a certain governance and the country in crisis is the 5th president in the last 5 years, some of the politicians who give him the cabinet. a green light are also sending him a message, fire the ministers, and start over preceding castillo treated thanks for giving his cabinet. the vote of confidence. he said the consensus will allow them to govern with the people. however, and always say the political battles will likely continue. nearly 50 percent of peruvians didn't vote for castillo. the political opposition in congress may guarantee an appeal battle for a precedent and a cabinet with hardly any experience in governing madana santos. i just see the limit they do. so have been tearful reunion to know the nigeria, half the release of more than $100.00. abducted students authorities reported 3 separate releases in the last 20 for us. they included, they include 90 children,

taken by government from this school in new jersey state 3 months ago. during officials say only say one child died while health hostage and for others are receiving medical treatment data grip. this d is an all new to the to the people of picking a community. we have and counted different count of pit abolition. we have encountered different kind of in fact, sleepless, light, sleepless night, and a days with hunger that we cannot, it's him because we, i think in the far to read me that china has dismissed the us report on the origins, dakota 19 call yet political manipulation. president joe biden ordered the report be declassified shows that intelligence agencies are divided over where the virus began, but degree it was not developed as a buyer weapon,

for in virus was 1st detected in the chinese city of hon and 2019 the intelligence community says china leaders didn't know about the forest before the pandemic began, but they couldn't agree on whether it was 1st transmitted from an animal or leak from alive or in sorrow as director of the elizabeth on griffin by safety program at georgetown university. that she says, global cooperation is needed to understand where the outbreak started. it's very challenging, i think without having transparency from the government of china and having access to bills, clinical samples, material, and data from early on in the outbreak, it would be very challenging to be conclusive on the origins of the outbreak. i think unfortunately, this outbreak in this pend, amick, has become exceptionally politicized. and i think what's important right now is to stop laying blame and to stop politicizing the issues and really get at hand at what we need to find out in order to stop this outbreak. and to stop this pandemic,

and that's going to require global cooperation, global collaboration, and primarily right now that train transparency of understanding, again, where this outbreak originated, i think it's important to consider is, what are we going to do with that information once we have it, understand the origins will help us think about risk assessments for future pandemic outbreaks, future pandemic risks. but having the data that we have at hand right now, we can, we can respond to this pandemic. so how do we get countermeasures and vaccines to the global population to be able to stop the spread of crowd of ours? we don't need to understand the origins in order to stop this. pandemic right now approach due to an agency that has indicted the president for violating his own covered $900.00 rules. as after albert fernandez through apology for the 1st lady, lady during a national looked on last year. the controversy is said to be damaging his

popularity even more triggered by reports from pointer it was one of his trick, as luck, downs in the world. security forces were deployed on the streets of valentina to prevent the spread of covered 19 but a few of the videos that have just been revealed show president l. america for him . and if and his wife have you as john? yes, we're not respecting it. now a prosecutor margin tina has accused president tremendous of breaking the quarantine and celebrating a party at the presidential residence you. but if you think that the president is an expert in lying, he said there were no parties in the picture appeared. they said it was a fake. second picture, they admitted there was a party and then he blamed his wife and hearty every day. he changed his version last week about the fundamentalist apologize for the incident. sort of see the julio on july 14, 2020 on my dear fabulous birthday fabiola gathered with her friends and had

a toast which shouldn't have been done. i definitely realize that this shouldn't have been done. and i'm sorry i did. i'm clearly sorry. on thursday, the president went even further and presented a written statement with his defense in front of a judge. he also offered to donate half of his salary to a research institution, even though the president to apologize and has offered to donate part of his salary to compensate for the celebration that happened at this residential restaurant. the incident has angered many people in argentina. they say that while they couldn't attend the funeral of a family member or children missed school, the president was celebrating his wife's birthday. over 100000 people have lost their lives to go over 1900 tina. even though the country was one of the 1st in the region to close borders and imposed logged down,

members of the opposition saying the president to the beach before breaking the rules. post you go. we've made 2 requests for an impeachment one signed by our blog and another one by congressman and my party. we believe he violated all the rules of incompetence and abuse of power. the opposition does not have a majority in parliament, and impeachment is unlikely for now. but our gym tina will hold midterm election in november. and while the government is trying to control the scandal and only say this incident could cost more damage and oppose than in a court of law. so i will, i'll defeat it when a fight if the issue of voter rights will take center stage in the united states on saturday, protest is will march in washington dc to demand an end to vote. suppression states like georgia and texas have enacted laws that many see as restricting rights house representatives past the bill that would roll back many restrictions, but it's unlikely to pass in the senate john 100 has it's beautiful. across the

us canvassers are going door to door, registering voters in drumming up support for their candidates in the next election . make sure everybody's registered and people vote in chicago's, or lena smith members is pounding the pavement to register new voters in the minority neighbourhood of austin. with less than 15 months to go before the 2020 to mid terms voting rights activists are working hard to counter punch a series of state laws. the democrats say amount to voters. suppression, even in illinois state dominated by democrats with one of the highest proportions of registered voters in the us. black neighborhoods endure conspicuously longer weights than white neighborhoods. my generation and other generations who were on work or on at school and trying to vote. we didn't have to our was the san atlanta sat in the winter to actually vote, legislatures and republican controlled states are actively making it harder to vote

in texas. democrats objected so strongly to a bill that would ban drive through voting, restrict voting by mail, and give more power to partisan pull watchers that they left the state. so there wouldn't be enough legislators to hold the vote. it was a symbolic move when they returned the bill passed. georgia passed the bill limiting time for absentee ballots in adding new voter id requirements. banning automatic sending of absentee ballots, banning mobile voting centers, and making it illegal to give food or water to voters waiting in line. a lot of times it's just political parties that hire outside individuals to do their bidding for them to confuse the masses. other people, republican, say they're tightening election rules to prevent fraud. motor activists say creating obstacles. we keep certain people from the polls works. and the overwhelmingly democratic austin neighborhood, the republican one. why? because this one in life. what is divided by the working poor,

which is the black in the working middle class, which is why one, the other in which is gail with gale with turned out for our former governor, which was a republican. and no one turned out for j. b pritzky or are you got was old enough to vote you as elections are increasingly won by narrow margins, with more states restricting access to the ballot that makes the door to door battle to get out the vote. more critical than ever. john henderson, al jazeera chicago. ah are, let's have a quick update headlines here in algebra. and the united states says it's carried out to drain strike again. so i still in eastern afghanistan and believe it believes it's killed a member responsible for planning attacks. it follows a warning from president joe biden, that those behind thursday, suicide bombing outside couple airport be hunted down. the mc.
