said that it may be, iraq should become more of a place where people meet and where people fight. and i think that's, that's a decent. and that's an important thing to say whether he'll be able to deliver it from other getting this other story. but clearly the idea that cut on the merits, and so the, the on the wine and cutter and for sort of turkey and friends are all showing up in rock. that's a good sign in this middle east region where yemen is suffering. guy stand is a mass, syria is a misery. the idea that the rock could begin to pull from the post where era and certain countries in the region as well as in france and others, could help in that endeavor, could help iraq get get backward. she could or could only be a positive thing. you know, iraq is at a cross or it's a cliche, but it is across. and so it could get, it could use all the help, it can get by some of the original players. i'll be interesting to see which path is followed. following this summit, marwan will be checking back in with you,

of course, the day, but for now, mom bush are in paris. thank a lot more still a heads on the news ira, including baking accuses the u. s. escape those in china report only origins of corporate 19 because the 5 and gulf heavy hitters, bar code in details coming up later in the show. ah hey, there hope your weekends go. and while, while it happened again, we had another deluge this time in southern crecia, 50 millimeters of rain within a single hour, and we may see a repeat performance on saturday, particularly along those eastern shores. at the atria, see montenegro bosnia inter croatia from stormy downpours for central areas of

how many nukes is too many new america has in many ways driven the arms race for parties are much more like the british parties down to the there are fewer regulations to own a tiger than their our own a dog. how can this be happening? your weekly take on us politics and, and that's the bottom line. it's the case biggest hospital with eventual capacity for 4000 covet 19 patients built inside a london conference center. it took just 9 days to construct with the help of army engineers dramatically expanding the critical care bed count and other similar sites are under way the actual london numbers could be much higher than advertised researches say that huge gaps in testing capacity that the government is now, trying to close, extrapolate that across the country and the spread of corona virus appears far wider than any one. me. yes.

ah, the ah, this is just a quick reminder over the top stories for, you know, the united states says it's killed in iso member responsible for planning attacks in a drone strike in eastern afghanistan that foster president joe biden. warren's, his forces would hunt down those behind thursday, foaming at complex forts. u. s embassy, and campbell is warning americans against traveling to the airports because of security concerns. propensity that says specific credible threats against the facility remain. and iraq is hosting

a regional summit to promote peace and reconciliation in the mid least social hoping for improve tires between saudi arabia and iran, who are attending lebanon's economic crisis and the war in yemen. speech and motor issues are also on the agenda in china has dismissed a declassified us report in the origins of cove at 19 calling. it's political manipulation and shows intelligence agencies always avoided civil where the fires originated but agree. it wasn't developed as a by a weapon. kona virus was 1st, the taxes and the chinese city. over in 2019 intelligence community says china's leaders didn't know about the virus before the pandemic. again, they couldn't agree on whether it was 1st transmitted from an animal or leaks from a lab. russia has reported its highest monthly corona virus death. so since the

pandemic began revise figures some states, the 6 agency both start show more than 50000 people buying from coal with 19 or related causes in july. that brings the total number of deaths to the $365.00 thousands. the 4th highest in the world. after the u. s. india and brazil. less than a 3rd of russians have been vaccinated. that's well below the government targets a 60 percent. by the often will, russia has no look that measures in place as seen as a popular had a parliamentary elections in september. well, let's get more now from victor olive it. she's a political analysts and leave experts at the center for actual politics. and john, this is now from moscow with the best tool in the case number's wising. why would you say the russian government not taking more direct action to bring this virus on to control?

while the russian government knows very well that strict stringent lockdown measures that were instituted, left spring were extremely popular among the russian population. in fact, there were even some civil disturbances in an area called the north here in the south of russia last year. during the lock down and of course, ever since them, the russian government and local officials decided to deal with this demik with this medical crisis in less strict ways. for example, mandating mask wearing in public places and some other measures. but at the same time, not, not securing new lock downs, because again, this is very popular and the government does not want to date or annoy the people,

especially during the election campaign that is in its final stage. right now the elections are coming up in the 2nd half of september. yes, but these measures also work. you could argue, and it's, it's, it is not a recognition that there is a priority to save lives rather than to, to, to be popular. well, we have seen, as you correctly pointed, the rush is in the 4th place. as far as going on the depths, of course, the united states is a poor thing officially more than $700000.00 deaths. and even though the population of the united states is more than twice the size of the russian population. but those figures are also quite, quite high. so the it is still a question as to how are how effective for

a large balance and other measures have been around the world. since we have seen that even the countries that have instituted a lot of downs have kept serious issues with their death rates as the united states then. now it is. there is another issue with vaccination as you pointed out. well here's the vaccinations. hello. yeah, i'm sorry. to jump in there, but i just want to ask you, but the vaccination is because marcia was one of the 1st to develop a vaccine the, the vaccine. but russia has incredibly low vaccination rates. why do you think people are? are so reluctant to take the facts in when it's been proven to help. there are several factors involved. first of all, the russians are many russians, not all, but many russians are cynical sort of about the,

the information that they are getting from the government. but governments about the action, not everyone believes that the action is as effective or safe as the government. so for this the government could be more forthcoming as far as data considering side effects. and how many people have experienced the facts? that is not, is not the way we made the right way. we've been russia these days. and plus their conspiracy theories quiet spread around the russian with. mean you believing that there are some sinister plans to be friends. this other is justifiably points out to the fact that the long term effects of the rec, him have not been studied enough because been introduced in the crisis situation. just as all the other reactions, whether,

whether it's pfizer or whether it's there and whether it's the chain you send that work. and so people are still very locked in to get in actually being said, the government has been seeking steps to motivate people to get vaccinated. and that has raised the vaccination rates in the past few months, almost twice. or what it's been in the several months ago. okay, so the venture is great to get your thoughts on your analysis. we do appreciate it . thank you so much for giving us appeals the picture in russia. thank you. hello, thank you know, to iran, clear that regional summits we were mentioning earlier is now guessing on the way the goal, of course is to promote peace and reconciliation in the region. let's listen into those opening remarks is a big 3 full. the humanity as a whole, because terrorist is, again,

is to every thing and is the common threat to everyone. the rack is, have gone through this war and money despite being alone, but we, iraqi has defended the humanity and the monetary and principal iraq is trying to find place on the map of the world and put an end to all these bad defense with the help and support and the will of our people, our peaceful people will reject all types of terrorism and all types of fanaticism with the also had a f o says. so put an end to terrorism, we need to pave the way with this fool that development. we need to put an end for the septic criteria that helps those terrorists to grow. we need the economic growth, we need to your mind it's area and growth. and the meeting of alice,

troll shows that the will build partnerships, good relationships and some godly. so improvement at the end this point we are old key not achieving for iraq. and i have and if you have mentioned this a prime minister that the prime, the iraqi people have suffered all, you'll be able to log you to previous we are to the iraq key people that are now and determined to actually put a security with her. so we continue our

efforts in our service and that's why we are committed to work with iraq this field and also in the field truman and the war again is a war that we have been launching for years and a long time you're on the courses and i would like to say to the 1st of august, 46 from so i think with the who is committed to stay by your side to come back several risk for as long as it can be helpful. but obviously the decision is you need to of course, i mean that they should continue contin jaundra complete because he's been in this area has suffered

greatly in 2 years. and also the menu suffered a lot. so if you recall, last few usually have worked with nat geo, and we know very well how they said and also i can't forget the fighters who participated and contributed in this war again with great to breathe. marine give the international lines as well as essential recall to ever forget that all of you lucky fighters that we are here to, to move this over and see if i can get like some friends not to allow people with us to see if we could do

actually offer determination. you can learn lessons from the experience to the security body. they're showing them. i think that we have to give an answer on that. you can spend most of those who material iraq to enjoy security and iraq to provide when you got to show it to its own people by the international community center will be sending out the ration proven to be this year. and also we would love ok. we've been listening to the french presidency manual micro that meeting summit, convinced by iraq that some of course, trying to find peace and security in the region. the iraqi prime minister must off

academy said that iraq was trying to find this place in the world to promote pieces stability. they want to work to defeat terrorism and fanaticism. he says, the prime minister said the country needs economic and humanitarian girls. they are working. she returned displaced people and reverse the destruction wrought by iso. he also underlined that the iraqi people have chosen the democratic path. they want to determine their own choices and yes, he acknowledge there will be pitfalls, but we will never go back. we're going to keep an eye on not summit for you, but for now let's take you across to santa. she can give us a runs out of the day sports center. thank you very much. hello. always start with the return of christiana, and although to manchester united the 5 time will play of the year has won over 30 major trophies in his career and is set to join the red devils after 3 seasons.

venice. david stokes reports kristin. 12 years after leaving them christiana, rinaldo is once again a manchester united player. the news broke just an hour after he landed in lisbon for international duty with portugal. after deciding to leave italian side event us . he'd initially been in talks with united rivals, manchester city. but when city pulled out, united stepped in to snap him up, were now there was 36 years old and regarded as one of the greatest players of all time. it was at united way, 1st made his name during his original spell at the club between 20032009, brought in by alex ferguson from sporting lisben. he went up to score 118 goals and 19 trophies, including 3 premier leagues, the european champions league, and fif club world cup united current manager ali going to south get used to play with him. speaking before the deal was done, he refused to speculate, but clearly thinks highly of his former teammate the let's see what,

what happens with chris on august the such a legend of of this club. yeah, after united, we're now by me around madrid. but what was then a record breaking fee of $110000000.00 he was the star player for knowing years and racked up 15 trophies with the spanish joints, including 4 champions, leagues in 2018 he left to join event us in a deal with $117000000.00 and very one to leave titles. success in europe eluded them. he let his manager know on thursday that he wanted to move on on the room or to another. the other things change is the law of life event. this remains, which is the most important thing that it has been 3 years. he made his contribution. now he's leaving and life goes on the movie and it, it is subject to an agreement of personal terms, visa and medical, which we're now though, could complete while in lisbon. portugal captain will then focus on world cup

qualifies against ireland. and as about john before joining up with his new teammates, the united david stokes, out his era. why don't us now follow me and say night a goalkeeper mark with no bach return to manchester united? do you think this is a right move forward, although a good evening to you from sidney saw? yes, i do. i really do believe the fact that he made his mind that, that he wanted to go. we all know about obviously originated that was going to be matches the city, but soon as you become available, i think it's 100 percent the right news for himself, but also matches denied. but of course that the hard work will stop now 2nd last season. and although they are a contender at the start, the season before the song, i didn't see them as a serious contender. i still think that mentioned the city will remain to be favorites, but they did. the gap is closing in terms of the odds after they saw me. i see it as a, as an icing on the cake. signing from oregon to south scott and especially with

some of the other ones that are coming veron jayden santo, things are looking really well for manchester, united, but they've got to now produce but my are now though is now 36. to what extent is he still at his bed here? he's been away from england for like 12 years. what are the premier league expecting? what kind of a play that they're expecting from him? well, i think everybody's even saved from, from a football perspective. we'll know that that will be expecting the same play that they sold 12 years ago. but we just look at these recent record, even event system when you go to $101.00 from a $134.00 appearances and that's in syria, which is renown for having some of the best defensive set ups in the world. he $12.00 syria titles that he run a cop. he want to supercop a, he's a syria. when i mentioned the fact that he's one of the 30 trophies and you know, he's got a lot of players there at manchester, not a top quality players who would be able to help share the workload or share the

pressure if you like. he's used to press, he's played on the pressure for out his whole career. and like i said, they've got the option of basically sometimes using him sometimes not. and also the option of playing in various positions around the park, which i think will help the likes of pull poker, especially it will help the like, sabrina finance. this and the fact that he's got that mentality and he knows you know, when he left majesty, nodded the club in a different position. now than what it was then that when he left, i was basically the top dogs. not i mean in england, but probably in europe as well where they were when they won the european cup when he was there. so he knows how to, how to get there. and he's got there before and he's done it. like i said with the event and he's also done it with brown madrid, and the influence that you will have on some of those young applies for me will be absolutely fantastic. but like i said, mentioned the city still remains slight favorites. there's 2 other contenders for the premier league in my opinion in liverpool and chelsea. but this is this,

in my opinion, is a bit of a game changer for manchester united goalkeeper market was no, thank you very much for them. thank you very much. and with that, we'll come to the end of the 4th. now it's back to hello. thank you very much indeed, santa, well, of course, this asper drawing this news or to close that summit is still continuing in iraq. that's the french president to his address in the summit along with several of the prime ministers, foreign ministers, we will be looking to hear from the, from it cuts as a mere who is also in attendance. we'll have more on that for you with net clark key. joe will join you after the blake break. keep it here on al jazeera. for all the very latest from around the world. ah. ah,
