6:04 am
the past days, we've heard from president lensky and from other senior officials, a here that the these were very tough negotiations. while meanwhile, turkey is presidents as swedish and finished allegations shouldn't bother coming to anchor, to convince it to improve their nato bed rhetoric typo on accuses the nordic countries have been quote, guest houses for terrorist organizations. sweden's been singled out for allegedly hosting members of the kurdish armed group at the p k. k. it's joining finland in applying for nathan membership, ending 200 years of neutrality. how do you know they are coming to turkey on monday? are they coming to convinces, excuse me, but they should not tie themselves? first of all, we would not say yes to those who impose sanctions on turkey to join nato. because nato would then cease to be a security organization and become a place rep representatives of terrorist organizations are concentrated. and president vladimir person. one is that russia will respond of nathan bolsters the
6:05 am
military infrastructure of sweden anthem, finland sweden. i want to inform you, dear colleague, russia has no problem with those dates are in this regard, expansion by the addition of those countries. there's no direct reference. but the expansion of military infrastructure into the territories would certainly provoke our response, is what that response will be. we will see what threats are created, foreign, and i'm just now moving on and north korea scrambling to deal with what's believe to be a major coven 19 outbreak. 6 new deaths were reported on tuesday with a further 270000 people, showing fever like symptoms, health officials, 862 people have dies and nearly one and a half 1000000 people have fallen ill since late april the the can. john is blaming his own health officials were being irresponsible in the distribution of the national medicine with them. well, let's bring in rob mcbride. he joins us now from sole where he's across all of this . less than a week ago. i believe north korea hadn't officially confirmed any good cases at all
6:06 am
. now we're talking about one and a half 1000000 cases of so called fever since april. and after all denials the government is clearly in crisis mode. now. that's right, i mean, this has developed, as you said, though, really very quickly escalated into what is a national crisis, especially as a less than a week ago. this wasn't officially a thing. it didn't officially exist in north korea. now we're talking about a total number of cases of people with symptoms with a fever. some people who have recovered around about one and a half 1000000. and it's very difficult to really get a grip on just how far this might have spread throughout the population. because of course, there is a real scarcity of testing in north korea. and famously, this is a country that has said for 2 and a half years that it hasn't officially existed. and an awful lot of focus is now have been put on some of these events that we've seen him, their past weeks and months where north koreans have been going out. they have been holding a mass military parade through pyongyang for important anniversaries,
6:07 am
gatherings of party members, and people looking at those. and wondering whether, if for this or virus has been spreading through, the community may be as the on the current virus or silently, where they doubt any symptoms that these of or be mass spread or events that are now coming to manifest themselves. certainly, kim john earn has now declared an emergency has been seen or to be a charing meetings, or there's been official video of him visiting pharmacies, criticizing his own health officials, calling in the military and calling for more pharmaceutical products and therapeutics. had to be passed out to the population. now that those will go so far, especially if it is the a milder flu like symptoms over our, of our micron. but obviously what would have helped would have been vaccines and, and or career is one of only 2 countries in the world that has not had vaccination campaigns. and his courses very vulnerable because it has a population already somewhat weakened by mouth. you trish him and relying upon
6:08 am
upon a medical system that is shaky to say the least. and of course you have, as you alluded to their, it's not the only crisis that north korea dealing with, as, as, or also happening within the context of massive food and security. i think the south koreans of, of an unlimited aid, is it likely event young young might accept any other yeah, i mean, the fear is that no career if the, the kind of locked downs that we've seen in neighboring china, for example, the economy just wouldn't be able to survive, that if you don't have people working in the fields, it might already compound it's, it's food problems that it has in north korea that have been these offers of help internationally. but north korea has been resistance to most office so far, even from neighboring china, who is, which is an ally they have offered testing. they have offered vaccines. we've also had offered from kovacs the international initiative to provide at vaccines. they have been particularly choosy. it seems the north koreans about what vaccines they
6:09 am
would want to accept and also what might come along with that, whether they would be a stipulation of monitoring of cases, whether in allowing things to come in to the countries such as vaccines personnel aid. there's also a chance that you risk importing cobit 19 to begin with, so they have been resistant to all of those offers of help so far. and of course, if they now are accepting that they have a crisis on their hands after claiming that they've been free of this for 2 and a half years domestically, it will not play well if they are seen to be. now in, in the crisis i'm being helped by the outside world and do you rather try their cross or that for us from the south korean capital sol? thank you, ron. now the funeral for a young palestinian man has set off more violence with israeli forces. it's added to attention and occupied east jerusalem. almost a week after algebra john,

his hungarian counterpart, peter c auto. but had some tough words about his country's position. it's clear what's happening. it's clear who is holding the issue, but the time is running out because every day russia keeps making money and investing this money in it to into the war. but it's not for me to engage in rhetoric that was from gary and we can get an authorities. this is the issue that the european union itself has to fix because this is their family business. it's now not clear when or whether the issue of the sanctions package can be resolved. leaders of european countries will be gathering here for a summit meeting in 2 weeks time. and this may still be under discussion then. james bay's ouch is era brussels. now molly genta says western back military officers attempt to the crew last week, but hasn't provided any details. the statement comes off to the army announced that was pulling out of

6:22 am
qaeda and iso, its troops from the you are pulling out of the country, including france. but it's also facing threats among its ranks. and this is creating even more instability in molly and more suspicion suspicion. amongst the rank of molly's leadership, or hundreds of us troops going to be based a long time in somalia to help the fight against the armed group. osher bob, president joe biden approved the plan reversing a decision by his predecessor, donald trump. the announcement follows the election of a news. molly president, how son shake muhammad is taking charge? he was born in on sunday, amid a security lockdown to prevent rebel attacks. i want to remind that those forces, as they have been, will continue to be used in training advising, and equipping partner forces to give them the tools that they need to disrupt. degrade and monitor our should bob, our forces are not now,

6:25 am
a young white premise. before the shooting rampage that left 10 dead, the 18 year old gunman posted an online screen claiming white people in america were being replaced by people of color. it's called replacement theory. what we're seeing now is a subculture in elastic reservoir agreement. it takes all comers and some of them will get routed wise because you are a racist and ye olde conspiracy theories attending to all where from colin and liberate the stage to stall and elections by african americans to african americans stealing our culture and our school. when the fringe idea pushed by racists, it has become a popular theme for conservative media figures who reach millions. now i know that the left and all the little gate keepers on twitter become literally hysterical if he used the term replacement. if you suggest the democratic party is trying to
6:26 am
replace the current electorate, the voters now casting mallets with new people, more obedient voters from the 3rd world. but they become hysterical because that's, that's what's happening. actually, it's extraordinarily serious and part because of how far it's gone. and how, how deep into mainstream culture this or the these type of a white supremacist. i'm talking points of have gone right because we hear them on, on fox news. we hear them coming out of tucker carlson stark, which a lot of people are talking about right now. but we also hear them out of republican politicians. it's not the 1st killing by sale, proclaimed white supremacists, pittsburgh charleston, south carolina, and even charlottesville, when right wing extremists chanted about replacement theories as the marched of all been touched by the violence. a pool released last week suggested one in 3. americans believe there's a program underway to replace the was born in the u. s. with immigrants, for electoral gain, a theory that is becoming more extreme. and at the same time,

6:28 am
even further. santa who has this update now from the interior ministry is releasing results from lebanon's sundays parliamentary elections. but so far it's still not clear whether and any single grouping alliance or party will have the majority in parliament. but actually, it's not even clear if any party or grouping will have a majority in parliament. what we do know from preliminary results is that the has bala alliance, that is a pro iranian group and its allies will be stripped from their parliamentary majority for this will be a major blow for this alliance. this ruling alliance and they lost seats their allies last seats to new comers. candidates representing the so called change forces, candidates, which are not allied with any of the mainly sectarian political parties in this country. this is really
6:29 am
a 1st 11 on post war politics. at least 10 new comers are going to take seats in the 128 member legislature. maybe they won't be able really to, to bring about significant change. but these, this minute meaningful number in one way or another makes them king makers because this new parliament is, seems to be very fractured. that this is what it's looking like. a very fractured parliament, maybe not one grouping, holding a majority, a deeply divided cabinets which is going to make governing this country even more difficult. this parliament needs to come together to elect the speaker, to appoint a new prime minister who's going to form a government. and then you have presidential elections in, in october. and this is a country known for political bickering and the longer. and if these, if these different factions don't come together, then you're going to have a political vacuum. and if you could have come to worst time for
