about them, a palestinian israeli crime waived on al jazeera you that's him. you busy up and wanted to show you something beautiful. what is it? under constant looking at what the tele ports, of course, 50000 square meters, secure facility, stated the arctic and oh, the antennas. it's got a palmetto of bod. oh i can see why you love looking at it. it's all about the t. t and seamen, telemetry tracking and see command. you're not the only one who knows everything, nudging ash hale sat space to deliver your vision. lou ah,

this is alex, is here, a quick reminder, all the top stories this are you keep i minister boris johnson has announced tighter karone of irish rules. after 2 cases, a thing you only con variance were identified. he said, it appears to be more contagious and could evade vaccines. the white house has taught medical advisers since the uni discovered variance is probably already in the united states doctor. and in fact, she says there's no reason to panic on the i sense it's great. the concerns about the escalades and conflicts in ethiopia and has called for urgency negotiations, european prime minister out the office as joined the army on the front lines, a gates to drive rebels from the north. thank you back. so top story, know the lease is covered, 19 variance might disrupt the global economy just as it was starting to show signs of recovery. years of the only crone variance had an immediate impact on wall street. storks and treasury yield sank on friday that led to the biggest oil price

drop. since the pandemic began, europe's biggest economy, germany was already struggling to recover before a 4th wave hits grew my just 1.7 percent in july. a global supply chain could also face huge setbacks. the several countries impose restrictions and loc stones, further disrupting manufacturing and shipping, and there are indications, interest rates could rise in the coming months. cornelia meyer is ceo of myer resource. she explains the market reactions to the new variance. oh mike, it's always overshoot and under shoot. but it's, it's, it shows a real of wariness amongst, amongst trade us amongst everybody in terms of what does this mean? what will that mean for air travel? you know, some people say it's not that much that will be, will be closed off because it's right now southern africa to,

to other countries. but you know, if, if should this very and spread if then the trans atlantic roots and things like that close down again, that would be bad. so markets are fearing for the worst. we are rightfully concerned. and you know what we see in europe, especially missy, austria's having shut down. some belgium is having shut downs. parts of germany are having sort of semi shutdowns. so it's, it's, it's become more and more economies are going back into further shut downs and should this variant prove that the vaccines are not really geared up to, to defend people against that, against this variant dad would be, that would be, that would be bad. so one on the good side though, when we see we thought now several waves and we have sat, several waves of shop downs, every shut down has had an incrementally less bad impact on the economy.

so whilst it is not good, it's less bad that it was the last time around. russia who's been mobilizing sizes of troops near ukraine, sparking fears of an escalation in a long simmering conflict. let's take a look closer. look at how the crisis began. it all started here on the crimean peninsula. this is fair. russia has one of its most important naval bases. it's also an area of major offshore oil and gas resources. mo, in 2014, rushing back, 5 to seize control of crimea form ukraine moves. the united nations declared illegal under international law. and may 2014 russian, separatists declared independence. and on the hands go to a referendum triggered the conflicts between ukraine and the separatists. despite a cease, fire agreed in minsk sporadic fighting as continuing between ukrainian forces and pro russians separatists along. lines of contacts meant to separate the 2 sides.

and for the 1st time since 2014 russia. as warble eyes, tens of thousands of soldiers in crimea, and near the border with eastern ukraine. it's also moved military units closest to the border with paris. a close ally of the kremlin will don't have the senior director over the atlantic cancels you, raise your censor, and a former us ambassador to ukraine and jones to fly from fairfax city in virginia. it's good to have you withers. what exactly do you think russia is doing right now? mobilizing troops so close to ukraine territory. will moscow is positioning troops that have moved to threaten ukraine, or perhaps actually to water major escalation of awards? currently conducting in done boss? oh, moscow hoax at a minimum? by threatening to ukraine to get ukraine to make some concessions or get the united

states and the western powers, vall, like germany and france to make some concessions. that what exactly did they, once, i mean, ultimately this russert, once they take bank all of ukraine, it and what, what are they getting out here? moscow's goal is to influence substantially ukraine's national security policy. they do not want to ukraine. establishing close relations, either with nato or with the you. that's why they seized crimea with russia, troops the little green, then. that's why they lost the russian control war and done boss. what russia's war and don't boss has fail of. that's why they're threatening major escalation again, their goal is to push ukraine towards russia and away from a free choice of association with you and with nato. and is that likely to work up their war in done, boss has failed. i believe that if they're bluff of an escalation is

solidly opposed by the united states and its partners, russia will not. in fact us go sanctions we were already impose of course, the russian economy, one to 1.5 percent of g d p growth year. and if they were to escalate substantially now that be much more punishing sanctions as the by the administration has made clear bed. and but russia as being sanctions a, it seems almost constantly. countries just keep adding sanctions on and, and keep adding sanctions, owen and, and certainly in europe the many countries are quite keen to tone diving the rhetoric and, and to get closer again to russia. at this, it seems that we are in quite, quite a bit of an impasse here. and russia seemed quite likely to continue down this path . how likely is it that the west is going to take anything more of decisive action? not just sanctions. i don't have any doubt 1st that if moscow,

those escalate, substantial, know the word sends its own army, use its own air force, use its own navy to sees additional cranium territory. there will be sanctions which will hurt the russian economy much more than the current sections. and glank in a secretary of state has been reaching out to europe for the past 2 weeks and building support for such a policy. and you've had american diplomatic criss crossing the continent, your to build up that support, even though some european countries would rather not see it. but united states and great britain and other data countries are also such weapons to ukraine. so that if moscow decides to escalate substantially, you cray will be able products, a certain amount of fight. this will be in washing casualties. and the russian people do not want watch and soldiers fighting credit. which is one of the reasons why hide the fact that russia officers are directing current military operations numbers. but if it does get that bad,

is it likely that we'll see need to getting involved or ukraine's asking for more help than just weapons? neither the united states or any country is offering crane to send their soldiers to fight russia, but they are offering to send weapons to ukraine. and again, western countries, united states with the you have an imposing serious sanctions or pose far more serious sanctions. if moscow doesn't sac escalated current war. ok and well that is not certain to deter. i think it may well succeed. ok, john had fair joining us from fairfax in virginia. great. get your analysis. thank you. thank you. well, it isn't kyrgyzstan, we'll go to the polls on sunday for a rerun of last year's parliamentary elections. the results of that foods, spots of revolution that unseated governments. and so former prisoners of the power of when the presidency by a land slice on friday,

a family who for years had been rumored to use violence and corruption to transform the country into what many now considered to be a norco state, in the case of the president, in the case of one lumber man, this. all he has to do is answer one simple question. the june that know that your brother was trafficking arms and cocaine into united states. you were the president, you were the most and foreign person in the country, at least in theory. you didn't know when a landlord and then this became president of honduras in 2013 and in 2017, he would go on to win a 2nd term in office, despite a constitutional prohibition against reelection. and under what international monitoring missions characterized as questionable circumstances. in the 8 years president wander, landlord amend this has been in power. political observers argue his government has led a dismantling of democratic institutions and the siphoning of public funds for the

political gain of the ruling national party. one of the most recent and emblematic pieces fraud and corruption under the watch of president and man. this is the case of the mobile cobit 19 hospitals using the pandemic as a pretext, the government made a purchase of 7 so called mobile koby care use at a cost of more than $60000000.00. from what metallica on dr. carlos ammonia, president of the honduran association of medical professionals, tells al jazeera the case is one of the biggest scans ever pulled by the government and, and directly resulted in the deaths of hundreds, if not thousands of 100 citizens upon his f agreement. the less oh manila one the, it's a crime against humanity when you rip off an entire population that needed health care. when you steal public funds. when you look at this and see how people died in the street. and in the trial centers over a lack of oxygen, it definitely amounts to a crime against humanity. and some day those who did this will have to pay the

consequences. oh, according to national human rights groups, the poverty rate in honduras is also grown significantly during the it and then this administration inch are leading to a historic exodus of migrants fleeing to the united states. and as general elections draw near the challenges of improving conditions in honduras are becoming ever more apparent. the new go with whoever wins is gonna inherit an extremely difficult situation. economically, with the health crisis. obviously, the pandemic, ah, with the economy trying to rebuild the trust of investors not only for him, but also nationals. and of course, rebuilding all this legal framework which has been destroyed, has been debilitated in an extreme manner by v's last 8 years of one lumberman here. handy. i do apologize for his part president and is, has maintained his innocence instead touting how his government has reduced the

national homicide rate and mean strides and combating drug trafficking public policy. experts however, argued that turning honduras into one of the most corrupt countries in the world will ultimately be one orlando airline. this is true. lasting legacy menu ended up a low al jazeera, some federal sula, honduras, nigeria, ne, and born on the state is offering free vocational training in an effort to reduce youth unemployment on has been the epicenter of nigeria as more than a decade long conflict with book are on finance, measure drinks reports from the state capitol. my degree isaac peter, has landed. his 1st job was still in the middle of training program to be a metal fabricator. the 25 year old has already started dreaming big. i want to be among der, been yona, and a wall. so doug, my name will be counting among those successful people in the world.
