further discussion guys, while facebook page at facebook dot com forward slash inside story. and you can also join the conversation on twitter. we are at a j inside story from me him ron khan, and the whole team head i for now. ah ah, this is al jazeera ah bill again, i am pete adobe. you're watching the news. i live from our headquarters here in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. british conservative m. p 's, the david amos is killed in a knife attack while meeting constituents. a 25 year old man has been arrested.

a bomb attack in afghanistan targets the she a mosque during friday. prayers killing more than 40 people. lebanon in morning funerals are held in beirut. soft, the biggest st. battling more than a decade. brushes. corona virus serge, showing no signs of slowing down with another day of record fatalities and sport channels super hangs when the indian primarily final. well, here from newcastle manager, steve bruce found the 1st time since the car was taken over by a founding leg consortium. ah, okay, let's kick off with that big breaking story out of the u. k. here on the news are a member of parliament from the governing. conservative party died today. he was stabbed several times. so david amos was a veteran, m p. he was meeting members of the public when a man attacked him. the u. k. prime minister boris johnson leading the tributes to

his conservative party colleague. i think gola hearts are full of shock and sadness to day add to the loss of the david. a miss m p who was killed in his constituency . surgery in a church after almost 40 years of continuous service to the people of essex and the whole of the united kingdom. and the reason i think people are so shocked and saddened is above all, he was one of the kindest, nicest, those gentle people in politics. and he also had an outstanding record of passing laws to help the most vulnerable well the chief constable of the local police force that the essex police force gave this updates within the last 40 minutes or so. it will be for investigator to determine whether or not this is a terrorist incident, but as always, they will keep an open mind to day is

a tragic day for the family and colleagues of david. the community of south ends and in date for the whole of greater essex said david has dedicated his life to serve in the communities of essex and south end. and to day, he was simply dispensing his duties. when his life was horrific, lee cut short johnny his name is chris doyle. he knew sir david amos personally. and he also knew the u. k. member parliament ger cox. she was killed in 2016. chris doyle is also the director of the council for arab british understanding. he joins us by a zoom from london at chris doyle to share with us if he can, your thoughts at this time. like anybody who is involved in british politics. i think there is a deep sense of shock and disbelief and numbness. really that once

again we are, we're looking at the starting in broad daylight. this happened just after mid day was named. he and member of parliament is carrying out that duties, meeting their constituents is i'm in this time in a church. so it's really hard to understand just how somebody could do this under what so me. it's i, i've spoken to some people who knew david like myself, and i think that we, we all sort of share that. it's just quite incredible. you know, we saw what happened with joe cox and there was this profound shock again. so i think the fact that it's happened again, you know, 5 years apart, it will have a chilling effect on british politics. the way in which, you know, you get that vital interchange between an electron member of parliament part a legislature and the constituents that they represent. so the $650.00 british m. p

's, who all now we thinking, you know, that could have been made. there is no rhyme or reason as to why it was him robin. anybody else we know of? are they were we looking over their shoulders? they were we thinking about? how can we improve our security? but you know, i think the a whole of course, that the main sentiment is for david's family and friends. ah, to have lost him in such a way. it is just the unbelief. chris, this happened just a few hours ago. literally, but it's already ignited the debate that you're talking about there, about how and when, or if indeed, british m p 's should be protected. i guess we've got to be talking about the reality of armed officers looking after m p 's because there isn't an irony here, isn't there when they're doing their jobs,

sitting inside the palace of westminster, they are fantastically well protected. it's virtually impossible to get into that building in under about half an hour cuz you go through kind of airport security and then more airport security and you've got her paperwork. you've got to have a pass to get into the palace of westminster. and yet, when they're doing their job as m p. 's in the u. k, on the ground, they have virtually 0 protection. well, you have to be right. i mean, i go into parliament normally, you know, pandemic aside 3 or 4 times a week and you go for that level of security. if you have a little pen life, it will be taken away from you. and i was also that time when p c q, he palmer, you know, was killed when, of course we had that extremist to commit those motors on the westminster bridge in the instant into parliament. you know, an m p 's but threatened then. so we have seen actually, over the years,

when i remember tom going back to 990 s, the british public could just walk into parliament. there was no security to you just walk general, please let me know what style security a tool. so the whole time, you know, as voters, as constituents, we have, you know, lost that ability to interact with our lead to politicians in the free way that we used to. now it's going to have to be yes with more security are going to be on protection offices. i fear it might be, i know other end piece, you know, it's not about just these 2 cases. the been so many deaths rights. i know one case of a former and p who basically was told by the police that she couldn't even drive around in our own constituency because it was too dangerous. the sort of degree of security measures the individual and he's having to take, you know, c, c, t, v, families and the like, oh it is really beyond the lease. i mean,

it really shouldn't have to be that way. but that is the really sad reality or politics in a world where, you know, it's so polarized. and i suppose that is the, the, on a message here. somehow there's always polarized debate. so there's so many issues we have to try to dial down language and realize that you know, how people behave in public really does mask. but crystal, when you talk about that polarize debate, that kind of chimes with what alex dean, a conservative commentator, i was talking to him on our last news, our show here on al jazeera. and he was saying, you know, in amongst the hate speech in amongst people lobbying, lobbying, a lobbying, i guess, and lobbying, metaphorical grenades via social media. you know, we, that there's got to be a conversation somehow someplace up and down the country. and we've all got to remember that m. p 's are real people and words and language and attitude can be

weaponized. and what we've seen today with the death of this old fashioned conviction, politician is the ultimate distillation of that hateful behavior. i just couldn't agree more and, you know, having really been involved in politics now for over 3 decades. you just see the way it should just gone downhill and the way in which the debates become more more and more comp sick. there is the lack of realization. he says, humanizing somebody is politicians. they meant somehow to be, you know, super human bell to deal with all sorts of issues. or that it's quite almost impossible. we now have an online well where they track everything that they do where they are, how they voted for every part of their private life as well. so i think it also has a dangerous impact on, you know, who will be a politician in this world. and it's not just about burton, but if you're going to have that level of intrusion into politicians lives,

if you're going to have that level of security risk, how to countries in democracies, it was sort of caliber politician to come forward to risk their lives literally to plot with us and that also, you know, really has a very deep impact on our politics going forward. so i hope the legacy of david too was such a lovely man. there was such fun and foolish one of the great public service where we, that we do have that debate, that we do try to find ways to have to sort of conversations on sensitive issues and without having it to descend into violence and hate speech. and the like because, you know, we have to put an end, this is happened too often. i guess it'd be fair to say as well. chris that he will be remembered. one of the, the descriptive terms that's been attached to his name and his legacy over the past few hours has been that he was

a gentleman. m p. chris doyle. thank you so much for joining us here on the news out that in baba is live for us in li on see where the attack took place. so now the more details and the last hour, just the last hour from the local police force. that's really peter, we've heard from the chief constable of essex as well as the regional, but i call police commission. and so the chief constable confirming that they don't believe anybody else was involved in the attack. apart from the 25 year old mine, he was arrested earlier on on suspicion of murder. and the moment the police are saying they continue to keep an open mind about the motive they do not believe anyone else was involved. we've been hearing from as well. some people in the community who have to

a person says how well respected david amos was by both the coaches of his conservative policy and by people who support other policies. we've heard of people who, who were surprised when he turned up to, to for example, at the opening of the businesses, people who dealings with his family. he of course, had 5 children and there is a great amount of shock in the local community, but around the country. it's fair to say as well, particularly given what you are just hearing, chris doing, explain that this is fall from the 1st killing of a politician and there are constantly death threats and attacks, both verbal and online, wherever they go. and now the speaker of the house of commons,

lindsey hoyle is actually asking for a view of m. p safety will, pretty patel. the home secretary has said that that will be forthcoming. an update on how m p. keep safe. think people are very mindful, but david amos himself attached a great value on being able to meet face to face with the public that he represented and didn't want to lose that so about as a cool function of democracy. in fact, pretty patel has said, but this would essentially attack on democracy itself. she said that people had lost a kind and loyal friend setting. so it was heartbreaking be on words. those sentiments have been echoed by labor, members of parliament, democratic members of parliament. and really, i don't, as you would just suggesting it was in david amos, his character that he was just widely regarded as

a person very easy to get on with on to talk about issues with whatever your political attitude. so a sense of shock here, but also a sense of urgency. people saying what we need to make sure that mt can carry out their duties safely. people are seeing whether there will be the need for arms, arms, personnel armed security. when members of parliament do hold meetings, because that is not routine as it might be in some countries with such meetings do happen. and so lots and lots of questions. what's, what will happen in light of these killing? not him. thank you so much that he above the tracking that breaking story for us out of the county of essex in the u. k. some other top stories for you security. so susan, afghanistan say at least 41 people were killed and thousands were wounded. an attack on the biggest sheer mosque in the southern city of kandahar. it follows on

a sack last week on another mosque in the northern city of condos. stephanie decker reports now from cobble the explosions ripped through friday. prayers. reports suggest several suicide bombers were involved in the attack. this alamo. there were 3 people. the 1st one entered and killed the gate keeper. and the remaining to the end of the mosque, they were armed. they opened fire 1st and then all 3 of them detonated themselves together. many of my family members were mounted there than ambulance crews rushed to the scene. casualties mounted. this is the largest shia mosque in kandahar. the province is taliban heartland. in the south of canis dawn, the groups birthplace and stronghold, and this significantly the 1st attack of its kind here. but it's the 2nd on a she a place of worship in 7 days. last friday, she a mosque was attacked in conduce in the north east of the country. more than 60

people were killed as they to attended friday prayers. and i so suicide bomber entered and detonated his explosive. among them. there appears to have been an increase in pace and geographical scope and attacks carried out by iceland. afghanistan over the last couple of weeks on the taliban is always said that it is the only group able to maintain security across the country. with that premise is now being challenged. and despite the taliban saying it had the iso threat under control just a few days ago, the interior ministry giving a press conference asking taliban fighters to be cautious among their ranks, hinting at concerns of infiltration. the holiday de la de la barry said that if someone is found in any of army units linked to i, so let it be known that the unit commander will be interrogated and the unit will be dissolved assad bill. it's 2 months since the taliban to control of the country having to adapt from insurgency to governance. and despite a diplomatic push abroad, millions of dollars of much needed international donor money are still being

withheld. as the international community demands a more inclusive government and the protection of women's rights and those of minorities agencies or warning of the humanitarian catastrophe, as the country is running severely low on cash, salaries havent been paid in months. millions of people don't have enough to eat and winter is coming. all this compounded by an unpredictable security situation with new dynamics at play. stephanie decker al jazeera cobble. the russian president, vladimir putin has urged regional leaders not to rush to officially recognize the taliban as the new rulers in afghanistan speaking during a summary of former soviet nations. he won the interim taliban government is not a reflection of afghan society as a whole. russia is said to host the taliban and other afghan factions for talks on weapons. j. newsman booker, that gives us of it. we shouldn't hurry yet to officially recognize the taliban. we understand we have to interact with him, but we must not hurry him, disregard lima. we will discuss it and do consultations. we should, however,

maintain the process of the afghan reconciliation and seek the normalization of the situation in this country. us will be thousands of people have been protesting at a border crossing within afghanistan and pakistan that's been closed for more than a week. right now. java. oh yeah. oh, there are conflicting claims about who has shot the border and why focused on the officials of the afghan side had been closed without notice. but afghan state media claimed it was shot by the pakistani authorities beach, a man crossing links pakistan southwestern province baluchistan with spin boulder. can the afghan province of kandahar come? al hider has worn out from hattie pool and pakistan, hundreds of protest and marched. the deputy commissioner is all faith in the border down of german watch tension. now river de deputy commissioner told him that the glory of the border was not from the buckets on his side. that it was the 1 dollar bond who had closed that border in protest because of the handling of i'm trying to

crunch into gift on. also important to know that hundreds of trucks buy it up on both sides of the border. british rebel items on board on trade, and i've got losing a lot of money. the deputy commissioner also saying that if the on dollar bond opened that border, that focused on re do the same. however, they said the matter was now being discussed between the foreign ministry and the $1.00 bond. and carbon also important in order d dollar bond there. monday, august on the international airlines should reduce that phase, which are not ignoble, gently high because of the high insurance rates can died or something which prompted the budget. i need to suspend or slight, altogether flows more still to come for you here on the news are including the police in cameroon, shoot dead or 5 year old girl feeling longstanding tensions in the angler phone and francophone regions and in sport. an unhappy little pool manager takes aim at

football, governing body for not doing enough for player welfare ah, not to 11 on a funeral to being held for 7 people were killed in bay roots were street violence in more than 10 years. the city was rocked by a constant gunfire for more than 4 hours on thursday, with an identified snipers up on rooftops. it began as a protest organized by his buller and its allies, demanding the removal of the judge overseen the investigation into the bay route port explosion. the judges association rejected calls to dismiss him. bernard smith is there with the latest on the blast investigation and the fallout from yesterday's fighting. the most lebanese politicians don't seem to want this investigation to go on. they don't just want tarik because removing from his pro, supposed to be leading,

investigating judge that on interested an investigation going on because it's on the billing unveiling on will unveil some dirty secrets when corruption and lebanese politicians judge baton didn't only want to speak to politicians ally to his bala, he wanted to speak to christian general christine politician. he wanted to speak to lebanon's former prime minister in doubt. so there were a wide range of people he wanted to speak to. this investigation has the broad support of the lebanese population, because they not only want justice for the people who were killed in last year's explosion, but they won't. they says a demonstration, if you like, that there is still some, some sort of rule of law in lebanon. and an ability to hold people accountable. the government is called a day of mourning for most businesses and government offices. a closed has bala has said that it will not be dragged into a civil war, but a senior leader of the group hashem field and said at the funerals today that we

will not of the blood of our martyrs be invaded. as bala has repeated the accusation, but cyprus, from the lebanese forces, from the christy and lebanese forces poppy ambushed, she has bullet supporters as they came to a protest, this part of a route i'm in an area that divide a christy neighborhood behind me from a neighborhood over to the other side, there remains a military presence here. pretty nice forces have denied it very strongly that they did ambush. the has buller support is. russia's corona virus serge is showing no signs of slowing down as the country reports, yet another day of record infection rates and deaths that were more than $999.00 fatalities on friday. i don't use 13000 new cases. less than a 3rd of russians have been vaccinated. oksana pisec is a global health advisor and lecturer at the university college in london. she joins

his life from there. oaks on a visit, welcome back to the usa. quite the vaccination rate, so low in russia. there has been a lot of hesitancy. pools have shown that over 50 percent of the population are not willing to be vaccinated. i think part of this is when you're back too confusing messaging at the very beginning of the pandemic under playing the severity of cove itself, such that there still is perception that co rent is just like a coal. i'm that the vaccination is not required. on the other hand, also there sputnik 5 which i don't show has still not yet a finalized authorization. due to missing data. and also looking at several plans previously in terms of the quality of the manufacturing sites. so there's some concern around the actual vaccine may be linked to the way that these

trials were pushed and accelerated forward. we sputnik 5, unlike other vaccines. it was license before it entered even phase 3 trials. now the data looks good at what has been published. i was 70 percent, is the against delta double. it shows still says that there is some data missing, missing data, a bad production process. people understandably, perhaps suspicious because i guess it'd be fair to say that over the past, what 12 months now, the kremlin slash russian government has been flip flopping on its mandates when it comes to people should actually be either advised to behave or told how to behave certainly, and we see that there has also been a shift from a federal legislation on co ridge to it being now devolved to regional authorities deciding what mandates should go forward and not meaning that there's

a very fractured approach across the country. a 5 regions have put forward some form of restrictions including reducing masses, but there is no kremlin, has said that there will be no nash nationwide, lockdown, and even mandates for what we would call a vaccine passport in europe. although there, there were considerations of using this in the summer, it quickly was abandoned due to business pressure. so it's exactly right. this flip flopping is inconsistency means that where, depending what city you are in russia will the whole set of other rules, some more relaxed and others. but on the whole, we see that it's a low vaccine, a combination of a low vaccine t, as was very low levels of interventions together. and at this time of the year, we had into winter the health care system in russia, nearly underfunded as it is. and with other research re, viruses entering the mix,

not just flu, others conditions as well. me there, there's likely to be a big winter bed shortage in crisis, which is why kremlin has called for retire doctors to step up and help with the surgeon hospitalization, rates rush asana. you seem to be saying as well that the government isn't actually trying to play catch up. and if it's not playing catch up with where we are right now as summer turns into autumn, turns into a fully fledged russian winter. does that mean that playing catch up is going to be doubly difficult because people are going to just get the flu and colds, and coughs and tickles and co infections? so ideally across all countries, and this is the time to really be able to try and get the case load as low as possible so that we can shift when that peak will occur. we don't want it to be in

the dead of winter, but in this instance, again, there are grants that are being also offered to some regions to, to stage that they are covered free. so there is a lot of competing dis incentives that play, that i think will lead to difficult when not only winter, but a longer approach. and it is interesting to see that some sources for statistics believe that needs to be even these numbers could be even larger than what you're currently report it. ok, we've got to leave it there on a pic. thank you very much. thank you. saudi arabia will ease code 19 restrictions as of sunday falling. what it says as a sharp drop in daily infections, their social distancing measures will be lifted and mask will no longer be mandatory outdoors in public spaces. countries to holy mosques in mecca and medina will operate at full capacity for those who are fully vaccinated. you authorities
