tight or so to try that little bit to get prepared. or if should this particular pathogen enter into their territory the supposed to do, but closing the borders of pain into certain countries for entering. i don't think that will, will stop markets have taken a have since then you varied with an answer. but unless see a short term shock. we do look for the economy to pick up again, especially spending on services in the 1st quarter and going into to the spring, the northern hemisphere spring in the 2nd quarter. and beyond that we look for above average growth next year. public health experts say that it will be 2 to 4 weeks before the know just how severe the on the con very is. and whether or not the come back scenes can stop it. i will, fisher, i'll just see it a washington. a south korea is reporting a new daily record of nearly 5200 corona virus cases. it is struggling to contain

covert that has been washing across the states of germany for many weeks. now. in one sense, the politicians have decided to decide later many of the ministers who took part in the digital conference on tuesday afternoon here in germany, we're trying to get some form of decision that might help them in their individual states. but in the event, what's been decided is to wait, we know what's going to be on the table. we know that the incoming chancellor, all of shots wants to see what's called in germany and inflate a mandatory vaccine requirement for everyone who has not had one will have to have what he wants, the new parliament to vote on that. he is also in favor of reducing the length of time that a person's vaccine states us actually will apply. so the moment in germany, it's a 12 month period. he wants the vaccine status of a person only to last 6 months,

which is far shorter than what the e. u has proposed recently of 9 months. uganda is deployed troops across the border into democratic republic of congo battles and on group there. it follows air strikes against the allied democratic forces, part of a joint operation with the congo leaves army. the group is based in eastern congo and his pledge allegiance ty, so began to blame him for 3 bomb attacks in kampala earlier this month. malcolm webb would this update from nairobi. you gone to an army folk person announce to the military operation began with strikes and artillery fire while you got them forces erected against bases of the allied democratic forces in eastern congress. since then, the congolese army spoke person has told us that ground troops, ugandan infantry, crossed on foot into eastern congo. now you've gotten the government blame the adf

for 3 suicide bombings that took place in uganda capital 2 weeks ago. the adf originate from uganda in the 990 ugandan army pushed them into eastern congo, where ever since they had substantial business interest in cocoa, the and other natural resources found in the areas that they control. but for the last 7 years, they've been responsible for a series of math because again, civilians in and around the town of benny and more recently, further to the north in a, to re proven the congolese army i brought in what it called a status siege 6 months ago, supposedly to stabilize north tv province and it's hillary province. but there's been criticism that the state of siege hasn't worked. linked documents show that there was corruption. some of the military budget for the operation was being stolen until recently common congos parliamentarians have been calling for another kind of solution and uganda and military entering east in congo with what they hope

will bring an end to this conflict with. certainly others are very skeptical about the following. you've gotten it in of congo in $996.00 and accusations of repeated meddling and funding rebel groups ever since then. a definitely let some people to worry that this will cause instability rather than bringing stability to the 8th. and the u. s. 60 estate says any russian aggression in ukraine will trigger what he calls serious consequences. antony blinking his meeting nato foreign ministers to discuss the build up of russian troops on ukraine's border. bernard smith's report from moscow, nato foreign ministers say that will be a high price to pay for any new military aggression against ukraine. and moscow was reminded the west has already used economic, financial and political sanctions. we have seen the rushes playbook many times over,

and part of that playbook is to attempt to create an manufacturer, a so called provocation, as justification for something that rushes planning to do. all along, and so whether, what's been reported fits into that playbook. i don't know. ukrainian force is a facing off against russian back separatists in the east of the country. there's been fighting on an off there since russia amex crimea, from ukraine in 2014. now for the 2nd time this year, russian troops, a building up along ukraine's border. moscow dismisses as inflammatory, any suggestions? it's preparing for an attack. and present, vladimir putin says he has his own red lines. if nato countries involve themselves further in ukraine, if it is some kind of strike systems appear on the territory of ukraine, the flight time to moscow will be 7 to 10 minutes and 5 minutes in the case of a hypersonic weapon being deployed. creating such threats in ukraine poses red

lines for us, but i hope it doesn't come to that. i hope that a sense of common sense responsibility for both countries and the world community will prevail from russia, says nato has deployed a significant amount of military hardware near its borders. in june, joe biden, and brought him a putin held their 1st summit. it came just a couple of months after a russian troop of build up along the border with ukraine. now here's another build up on the kremlin, says it's holding behind the scenes talks with the white house about another possible summit. the bad, not the ministration says it doesn't know of any plans, but it does say it's been holding talks with russian officials about ukraine. bernard smith, i'll just sarah, moscow, sudanese security forces have use tear gas against pro democracy protesters rallying in the capital. thousands came out to reject a deal between the military and prime minister, which so de la,

doing but job again. it's my 1st time back and again, it's 10 after 20 years with me and all these people around me have experienced lots of problems in iran. but they're now joined by more recent arrivals who fled after the taliban takeover? actually i was able to get to, to leave my country, need my house, lead people like nasa on behalf a who refuses iranian soldiers of mistreating him. and actually i was trying to get to europe. but at the time when i was getting to iran, i got so difficult. the soldiers all for the border of iran, have trying to kill you or just arrest you when they are rescued, they will punishment. they will give you as punishment as a animal. 2 months after leaving, he's back where he started, but says he won't be long before he's on the move. once more. robert bride al jazeera islam harlow afghanistan. a wednesdays meeting at the united nations house

to tackle who should represent afghanistan and me and more at the organization. both countries, democratically elected governments were toppled earlier this year. now they see that the world's biggest diplomatic table is in limbo, disease. diplomatic added to james page reports less than a month after the military took over his country in a coup in february, man mas ambassadors to the un spoke out in the general assembly in our fight against the military regime. ever since the generals have wanted to follow him and replace him with their own ambassador gould, him is ex, i was appointed afghanistan's ambassador to the un at the end of july, but less than 4 weeks later, the man who appointed him president asher. af ghani had fled and the government he represented had been replaced. the taliban want ambassador is exiled to be replaced by one of their spokesmen so hail shaheen. the un general assembly has a 9 member credentials committee,

which must decide who should have the un seat in both cases. one of those members is russia. does it believe there should be a change in representation? it's very philosophic question. i will say sort of difficult to answer yes or no in this regard. russia of course, prefers to interact with those who represent their countries for the present. the governments, kelly curry was one of the us is baset, is that the un during the trumpet ministration? she's also a strident advocate for human rights in mamma. she told me her experience suggest the un will try to delay any decision and wilful moral blind was prevail. show that you have a very weak secretary general is not a strong leader who's not going to push parties to make difficult decisions and who won't, won't take the necessary leadership to push the system out of its current. right. so i think that

a continued stay says status quo that that pleases no one is the most likely outcome. yes. whatever the committee decides, this is not the end of the matter. the committee will come up with a report then goes to the entire un general assembly. james bays al jazeera of the united nations. a european diplomats have urged iran to show it is serious about salvaging the 2015 nuclear due. on tuesday, representatives from russia, china, germany, france of the u. k. met with iranian officials in vienna. iran one sanctions lifted in return for limits on his nuclear program dosage. a body has been monitoring the talks from the austrian capital. nothing is agreed upon until everything is great. those are the words from union deputy foreign minister, alibaba who is leading the reigning delegation here in vienna. he said that said they will continue these talks. and on tuesday, there was a working group between the iranians and the europeans about how the united states

a park bench, eating ice cream with friends, she was 14 years old at the time. she said it started a simple conversation. but then alternately, it was the start of years of sexual abuse at the hands of jeffrey epstein. and at some point, jane testified even gillian maxwell, prosecutors in a very dramatic moment in the court room asked jane if it was so bad at any point. after all this transpire, did she consider taking her own life? and her answer was yes. there were times on the witness stand that she broke down briefly in tears explaining her fear and anxiety of being called by jeffrey epstein to come over to her one of his homes for what she knew would turn into a sexual abuse that went on again in her room in her testimony for years she was so young at the time, all this happened, she did not even have

a driver's license. so in many instances, epstein would send a car to pick her up and bring her to one of his homes or fly her there. now it's going maxwell, it's on trial. so the key part of this testimony is, did glen maxwell recruit, and then groom jane for this alleged abuse. jane answered very clearly over multiple questions in her testimony. yes. to both of those and not only yes, to being recruited and groomed by maxwell, but also she said maxwell was present in the room or took place or took part in some of the sexual abuse on multiple occasions. now the defense did briefly offer some cross examination before they adjourned for the night, and the defense is basically starting delay. the argument of this happened more than a decade ago. why did you not report it back then? and why did you wait so long? we'll hear more from the defense on wednesday,

destinations. you have to remember that cutter is home to people from 19 different countries and the people who don't have the country represented in the arab cop or even next year's world cup have taken on cutter as their home team. that's why many who couldn't head down to the stadium for the opening match between cutter and bahrain hated here. so the souk and state blood work, who is in the to fill in the atmosphere was great. the opening ceremony was something to be proud of and to celebrate. the performances were good and honestly something extraordinary. and if the hey on the opening ceremony was a success she, it was exceptional organizations, the celebrations. everything was put together perfectly. in the 1st game, we saw golds and strong performances. i hope the rest of the air seems to have a successful competition, especially the commission to you. while the arab cup will attract just a fraction of $1200000.00 visit is expected for next year's fif at world cup. it's

still an important taste of the traffic. it's security of public transport. fans are being encouraged to take metro shuttles to the stadium, and they have to have a fan id which gives access to the stadium and also free travel on public transport . on the days they go into a match. but really, both competitions are about putting this region on show its assets history, its culture about inspiring more love for the beautiful game and perhaps inspiring a future football sta. ah, no, i was get around them now the top stories on edges of the world health organization is urging unvaccinated and vulnerable people to delay that travel plans. reserves become.
