7:05 am
to send a very clear message to russia or who would stuck. and now unfortunately, we are, the whole unit is being hold hostage by one member states who cannot find couldn't help help us find the consensus. the high representative for foreign policy has been meeting candidates, foreign minister. when i interviewed him last week, he was confident the new sanctions could be agreed with, but he doesn't seem so hopeful. now, we'll do our best in order to do blog. this situation. i cannot ensure that this is going to happen because the positions are quite strong. later, the ukrainian foreign minister demitra caliber joined the meeting. he greeted his hunger in 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
7:06 am
investing this money in it to into the war. but it's not for me to engage in a resource better with 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 bays al jazeera brussels. now north korea scrambling to deal with what's believe to be a major curve at 19 outbreak. 6 new deaths were posted on tuesday with a father, 270000 people, showing fever like symptoms. health officials say 62 people have died, nearly one and a half 1000000 people have fallen l since late april. the to came on is blaming his own health officials for being irresponsible. and the distribution of the national medicine reserves from mcbride's and so he says things have escalated very quickly

7:14 am
a little dusty. all the same, not cold though. 41 degrees in doha, about average touch above the lot above. once again, in pakistan, the heat wave has briefly declined, but it's on its way up again. we saw 51. we might see it again in middle of pakistan. but even in the north, it's been hot. the whole almost broker recorded might get that way again. in trump glasgow, he would like to be seeing a bit more raining. can you're in somalia, as you can see, it's not happening. the winds bringing it up, but it's just not turning into showers. and the bigger showers are further west, even they have declined a little bit in cameroon. and gab wrong and temporarily it's cool. dire from it's such a degree in cape time, coming down, most of southern africa is dry, but there is rain for mozambique. i saw official airlines of the journey join the debate. there is no, he job bad. good. you know, i mean, if anyone here talks about women that i talked to dusty,
7:15 am

7:16 am
like symptoms were important. on tuesday. dozens of people have been injured at a funeral and occupied east jerusalem after israeli police attacked morning. a 23 year old man who was injured during the storming of the alex, a most compound last month, died on more than $260.00 ukrainian fighters have been evacuated from mary. a poll after a deal was reached between cuban moscow. they've been taken to a medical center and the russian control town as well. meanwhile, turkeys president says swedish and finish delegations shouldn't bother coming to anchorage to convince it's approved in nature, bid rest typo on accuses the nordic countries are being quote, guest houses for terrorist organizations. sweden's been singled out for allegedly hosting members of the kurdish group, the p k. k. it's joining finland and applying for nathan membership, ending 200 years of neutrality up to see if you knew they are coming to turkey on monday. are they coming to convinces, excuse me,
7:17 am
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 that i'm in prison, warner, that russia will respond if nato both does the military infrastructure of sweden and finland in israel, finland, sweden. i want to inform you, did colleague russia has no problem with those states, or in this regard, expansion by the addition of those countries poses no direct reference. but the expansion of military infrastructure into the territory would certainly provoke response is what that response will be. we will see what threats a created foreign and i'm just looking. now molly is genta, says western back to military officers attempted a true last week, but hasn't provided any details. the statement comes after the army announced it was pulling out of a regional alliance, fighting armed groups in this whole region,
7:18 am
citing a lack of progress. we've got a lot of money. the government of the republic of molly condemns with the utmost rigor is outrages act of the security of the state, the objective of which was to hinder or even annihilate the substantial efforts to secure our country and to return to a constitutional order that guarantees peace, instability not now guinea us as president has dissolved parliament and promised to hold elections by the end of the year. it's a bid to result a long running political crisis president. tomorrow's who so call and follow has accused his deputies of corruption. he survived what he said was an assassination attempt back in february. one, hundreds of us troops are going to be based long term in somalia to help the fight against the armed group above. president biden approve the plan reversing a decision by his predecessor donald trump. the announcement follows the election of a new president, their house on shake. mohammed is taking charge. he was sworn in on sunday, amid
7:19 am
a security lockdown to prevent rebel attacks. mohammed was also president between 201220. 17 patrick han has worn out from washington. d. c, the bottom line is this, at the end of his presidency, he'd already lost the election form president donald trump decided to move all of the troops out of somalia. now commanders had to follow the presidents orders as commander in chief, but they kept the mission going. according to them. they simply re base the soldiers in other, in other countries nearby. and they said they continued the mission by basically putting people into small, you're taking them out, putting them in. but now what they're going to do is just basically put all of the soldiers right back in and base them in somalia. now here's how pentagon press secretary john kirby described the mission. 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 bob. our forces are not now,
7:20 am
nor will they be directly engaged in combat operations. the purpose here is to enable a more effective fight against our show, bob, by local forces, which her mom has increased in their strength, imposes heightened right. and really all of the discussions from the pentagon in the white house, the focus wasn't so much on helping the somalia, somalia, it was about counter and al bob, which john kirby said was growing in strength that their emissions were not just in the region, but they wanted to target american interest as well. and so they're really just focusing on the fact that in this time they believe that they've lost situational awareness. and that al shabani has gotten stronger and they need to counter that in the region. now one thing i think it's important to point out, kirby said that they would not to get involved with direct military combat. that's sort of a nuanced way of looking at it because the u. s. does launch military strikes against allister bob targets and they are sending, if you are troops and it was $700.00 now it's going to be less than $500.00. well,
7:21 am
the u. s. is now testing hypersonic weapons, which can travel at 5 times the speed of sound. the air for says a b, 52 bombers, successfully launched the west and off the southern coast of california. on saturday, russia launched some of the missiles that ukraine and march, well, china reportedly tested its own version last year in now family of the victims of the latest mass shooting in the u. s. r. renewing calls for restrictions on gun ownership. 10 people died and buffalo on saturday and what's been described as a racially motivated attack. it's one of nearly 200 mast shootings this year in the u. s. which has the highest rate of gun related deaths among developed countries. he took the m my best for him. oh dear, how dear you. this needs to be fixed. a s a p. mom. we log on president joe biden has praised the bravery of
7:22 am
police officers ahead of a visit to buffalo on tuesday. please say 18 year old pasent genderin deliberately targeted black people and was driven by so horde replacement theory out there. as alan fisher explains, it's the deadliest my shooting of the year in the us and police say the new why the accused gunman did it. this was about killing black people as many as possible. we can't sugar coat. we can try to explain of a way talking about mildred illness. no, this were of domestic spare room. perpetrated by a long white supremacy 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 cold replacement theory. what we're seeing now is
7:23 am
a subculture in elastic reservoir agreements. it takes all comers and some of them will get routed wise because you are a racist and year old conspiracy theories attending to all went from colon and liberate the stage to stall and elections by african americans to african americans stealing our culture. and our school once a 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 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 are the, these type of
7:24 am
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 dark, 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, more mainstream allan fisher, i'll just either will staying in the u. s. and the country is taking steps to ease a nation wide shortage of baby formula. new measures announced by the white house include increasing imports and reopening the largest factory. but it will still take at least a month for new supplies to reach supermarket shelves. the sort of stems from
7:25 am
a record by formula make albert's back in february, after 2 babies dies and britons prime minister has warned about the risk of a trade war with the european union until because of a political stalemate in northern ireland and a threat to scrap a breakfast deal during the hot reports now from hillsboro. orest johnson's visit to northern ireland meeting separately with nationalist and unionist party leaders hasn't done much to encourage a return to power sharing government is was them. it was a lively meeting with us. he's. it's tough. i think is the word, i mean, we're not, we're not here to to be around the bush. sure to, to try and sugar coat anything. this is a very serious situation. she fain say they're willing to get back to work, but the democratic unit is party is boycotting the store. much assembly over post breaks in trade arrangements known as the northern ireland protocol that imposed border checks on goods leaving great britain for northern ireland. the protocol was
7:26 am
introduced to prevent a hard border on the island of island, and some unionists say it undermines northern islands place in the united kingdom. johnson's government has threatened unilateral changes to the protocol if negotiations with the e. u. fail his plan to introduce legislation to make that possible effectively undoing and international treaty was described as reckless by sinn fein and received a noncommittal response from the democratic unionists as well. i want to see northern arms placed within the united kingdom, fully respected, and fully restored. i haven't seen the proposals yet, so i'm not making any judgments on what the government may do until i see what it is they're going to do. we've heard the words now we need to see the action that the problem is a majority in northern on actually support the protocol, even if they don't think it's perfect. including shin fane and moderate unionists
7:27 am
who see the economic advantages of northern ireland remaining in the european union single market for goods effect. the prime minister appears to overlook. we would love this to be done in a consensual way with our friends and partners are now the problems i stopping from these the barriers east west. but to get that done, to have insurance, we need to, we need to proceed with a legislative solution at the same time as far as johnson came here hoping to achieve consensus and restore power sharing government. well, he hasn't done that, but he has set the stage for a potential breach of international law by his government and for the further setting of a delicate balance of power that exists here in northern jonah hope i'll do 0. hillsboro. now sri lanka, prime minister says his country is down to its last day of petrol ritual. dr. is and others who rely on fuel for their jobs had to cure for to. for hours,
7:28 am
sri lanka is embroiled and it's west economic crisis since independence, which is called weeks of protests. the government is also running out of foreign currency, which it needs from many import. did him us at the bare, the next couple of months will be the most difficult ones of our lives. we must prepare ourselves to make some sacrifices and faced the challenges of this period. i have no desire to hide the truth until i see the public. although these fucks from pleasant and terrifying, this is the truth of my situation. i has bella and its allies up here likely to lose their majority and lebanon's parliament. and what could be a major blow to the iran backed group that's according to initial results from sunday's election. the saudi aligned lebanese forces party christian group has made huge gains. and several anti establishment candidates also picked up seats in the 1st elections and see economic crisis from the barrier port explosion. unless say, a divided parliament could be to deadlock, potentially delaying reforms even further for had been but i'm an independent
7:29 am
journalist and the founder of the bay root report. he says this election paved the way for a new generation in politics. in some ways this has been a pretty massive achievement anywhere in the world where, where most countries, you know, are. ready ruled by ruling parties and to have this happening and lebanon is a great start, i think, for a lot of people, but we don't really know what's going to happen on the ground. we're not. how are they going to compete? how they're going to function in parliament? how are they going to make alliances with the leaders? we don't really know that you can amik policies. a lot of these new candidate and lebanon is in desperate need of a solid economic recovery plan. and if, you know, people have different ideas and all these different political parties, we're not really sure we also, this election is also in the kind of a victory for one of the old civil war militia groups another, unless any forces to, you know, have, have definitely a very, a checkered past for many lebanese, and we've seen a lot of saudi money definitely behind this group that very big ad campaign. so,
7:30 am
you know, while it is a step forward in some sense, for those who want to see a secular future or some kind of progressive future, there's kind of a step back at the same time. but people are feeling energized to some extent. there are feeling that there is some kind of future for them. and i think it's kind of a nice change to see in lebanon, being in the headlines, not for some war, some crisis, but actually because it's election was probably one of the most contests in the world at this point, one of the most. and definitely a very democratic experience, relatively speaking. ah, hello there, this is al jazeera and these are the headlines. more than 260 ukranian fighters have been evacuated from area poles after deal was reached between cube and moscow . they've been taken to a medical center and the russian control town of never as ask they could become part of a prisoner swap.
