yet preparing to try again, special coverage on al 0. on counting the calls that we said meltdown in crystal currency worries investors can it make it come back? why did app or lose the most valuable company crowd to saudi oil for romco? and how will trade protectionism affect global for security and fight? counting the cost on al jazeera ah al jazeera with oh. ready a senior iranian revolutionary guard officer was shot dead outside his home in tehran.

ah, on carrie johnson. this is al jazeera life and also coming a report from the front lines of ukraine where russia says it's targeting eastern and southern regents flooding in bangladesh and india millions displaced and dozens, all day long on one soon rains. come early, the villages we've talked to in this area said they haven't been flood like this for over 2 decades. at least us army plane flies in tons of baby formula from germany to tied to a critical shortage. ah . but we begin it with some breaking news, iran's elite military units, the revolutionary god says, one of its members has been assassinated in the capital. tehran gone men on to

motorcycle shot dead hassan yard for the yard in his car outside his home. the separate development, iran's state tv earlier announced that members often israeli intelligence network have been found and arrested. but al jazeera is only a shame, has a covered iran extensively enjoys us here. now, in the studio only what more we now about what happened. carry a spur, the statement by the i r g c. how sasan say odd. would i audi was assassinated, as you said in front of his home and to her on? he's a member of the yard. you see what's for san deb has operated in syria for around 4 years. now. what's his a precise responsibilities? this is not known till the moment what the significance over here is that this is the 1st time a member of the court's force that was operating or is operating in celia has been isolated in the middle of the iranian capital. on previous

experiences, at least, we can say, for example, that a costume shall i, money. the head of the other commander of the courts was assassinated in, in bagdad and others were killed in syria. but this is the 1st time that we are a member of this elite force has been killed inside iran. now with respect to other assassinations, because this is not the 1st time. and as this nation takes spot in ethics space, in the iranian capital, just a year and a half ago or musson factory, is either one of the leading iranian nuclear. st scientist has been killed also near tara, in general. most of the assassinations in inside iran or inside iran related to the nuclear file. this is the 1st time that allison nation is linked to another fight, which is iran's regional, a footprint regional, and expansion. so this is, this is significant. and the raining authorities announced earlier that i had,

they had arrested and is rainy cell. could these 2 events be linked in any way you think? well, it seems it's separate that because web, since the cell was arrested, then it's not going to do anything any more. now this might be another cell and given the i r g c statement that those who killed her son has some say on the hood, i already on a members of the are enemies of the regime and members of the international oppression. and it seems, it's not yet clear whether it's related to israel, or any other player in the region on the war. so it's, it's still the moment on, on the adverb, at the us. but at the end, this is part of a pattern. and as we know, iran's regional footprint is quite a cree, i think, a lot of intimidation for some parties and for other parties. this is

a space or an area of arrived really. so there are a lot of expectations for the money, but we will have to wait and see and understand what, what's the context and how this commander because they already, i suppose the statement was a colonel in the i r g c could force ok out a hush for now. thanks indeed for that update. the ukraine now where russian forces are stepping out there bombardment of the front lines, cities. and the 3 months after invading russia is trying to secure and expand its gains in the eastern dumbass region and on ukraine's southern coast. among the cities hit our cave in the northeast under nikolai of an apparition in the south. a reporter acid bake is in front of the town, pitted with craters. there's been yes,

and take it about 100, because i did time not had this residential building that they've been taking. i live in bunker because they know flights and stuff again, no way in the meantime. constant got full aircraft missiles, any sort of current incoming. and that's because this is an will we talk about, because it's the thing that the east of been compelled, the russians are made to health. this is a crime. most of those that remain can't go anywhere. they don't have any way to go to, they don't have the money to the house to go to a place to go to, you know, have and there's only one shop that's open selling the basement, such as bread and you spoke to the woman, then you said it's a june because we know bread, and she's the only chase open door. you're selling bread for these people. but as i

said, the fighting going on in the last hour or so. we've heard the strike on this time also because i'm rock it being fired. but this is the battle for solar though, i know the russians man, just take the strategic location. they will have a massive advantage of the ukrainian military, had the tons of other locations will be well within the when. meanwhile, rushes defense ministry. it gave a briefing about its latest offensive saying its been hitting ukrainian military targets myself declared eastern republics. that most of the backs of those worked, there was a high precision air based missiles have hit 3 command post 13 areas where ukrainian troops and military equipment amassed as well as for ammunition, depos, near solar, dark, sold and done. that's people's republic and your cova in lieu guns people's republic summit. ukrainians, who were displaced by russia's invasion,

s. secretary of agriculture. this is enough to feed some 21000 babies and toddlers for just one week. so wow, this flight certainly grabs much attention as far as going towards the solution and the thousands of desperate parents around the country who have been searching for formula. it does not go a very long way. now this shipment, once all the formula is offloaded, it's going on, fedex delivery vehicles and spreading across the country. and this shipment is destined for hospitals and for clinics, because all the formula board, this one is for hire a babies who have allergies to cow's milk. and that's why there was a critical medical need to get this delivery done. this, as you said, was made possible by the by administration taking rather extraordinary measures and invoking the defense production act. and also calling on the u. s. military to

transport these deliveries from europe or it's hold in the future. there's gonna be some more flights. this was only about a 3rd of the total expected amount of formula to be shipped from europe. those remaining flights may be military or may be chartered, commercial flights carry so hard the didn't what you say, how much pressure is the, by the administration under to resolve this permanently. right. and that's why it is, it could be a double edged sword for the buyer. administration because wow, it is certainly something that the ministration is applauding this morning, getting a lot of attention and even kudos are bringing this critical formula to the us. it's also drawing attention to the fact that such an extraordinary measure is even needed in the 1st place. and the president has been taking criticism from all sides on this issue. because since february there has been this critical shortage of baby formula in the united states. some 40 percent less of it is on the store shelves at

this moment. and the f. d a and bite and have been criticized for not foreseeing this critical problem and taking measures earlier to resolve it. this is because of that formula. recall from abbot nutrition and it's factory being closed due to possible contamination issues. a closure that has dragged on since february. now the f. d a says that it is working to reopen that factory as soon as possible, but still could be 2 months or so before. finally, those formula stocks are at their normal levels. carrie ok, hardy joe castro live from washington dc. thank you. heavy rain and flooding have devastated parts of india and bangladesh. before the annual monsoon season, india is northeast and some states, 800000. people have been displaced and at least 14 killed. more than that shortly. but we start the neighboring bangladesh where flood waters are forced more than

2000000 people from their homes. and their chandry has more from like under this the lead division of not as bangladesh is prone to flood every monsoon season, but nothing in this scale within last 2 decade, according to the flood forecasting center. the villages we've talked to in this area said they haven't seen flood like this for over 2 decades. at least now you can see some of the houses been inundated with water, at least 500 school run under water. well, what said 1000 villages have been effected? thousands of actors fishing land, farming land has been devastated. now the government is set up facilities to sheltering people. at least $300.00 plus them. people are worried if the flash flood get worse, thinks good, get really challenging for them. what we know from the flood forecasting department is that the rain as received at the water level, is going down on 2 of the major labor. but if the del edge from the india not 50

states, a mega land, some keeps coming. and the monsoon, rain continues, things could actually get worse. and within next few weeks. now to india is flood zone has name is how is in the go in some states, this is one of the houses of homes in the state of a song that are now empty. we are in a gown district, this is one of the, this is the was affected district in the state. more than 300000 people here have been affected by these floods. many residents have fled, but there are those who are still living here. some say they're not comfortable leaving their belongings, others say they haven't found space in shelters now, rescue operations our own people are being airlifted in some parts of a sam in places like these where flood water levels are considerably high. people are being rescued by boat id is also been given to people who don't want to leave,

but people who have told us that they haven't received it. and those who have say that they are the food supplies haven't been enough. so they continue to live like this water here is need deep level, at least in some places. it's even deeper. they say they don't have enough drinking water. they have very little food. they haven't made a living over the last a few days and are hoping that they get some more help from the government. now the water that you're seeing over here is coming from a real river nearby that has overflowed. it has brought with it some fish that villagers are catching to eat. now they are nervous about the fact that the real monson season is yet to begin. and usually that comes with heavy showers and flooding are which could make the situation over here. even worse. you must present, joe biden has landed in japan on the 2nd leg of his asia trip after leaving south korea as he works to reinforce partnerships and asia. fine will attend the summit

for the quote on the lines of the u. s. japan, india, and australia. a focus will be how to counter china's influence in the region from mcbride in toko looks at biden's agenda in japan. president joe biden comes to japan with a view or to strengthen ties with this very important ally in north east asia at a time when the united states and japan face a number of challenges on a number of different fronts. this is meant to send a message and to north career at a time of increased missile testing and speculation about a possible and nuclear test. it also is meant to send a very clear signal to bay ging about. it's increasing assertiveness in the asia pacific region and its territorial demands. that is something which is felt very keenly here in japan, which is in dispute with china, her over various territorial claims in the east china c, a with events in ukraine. i think it also sends a very strong message to russia as the united states is leading. the international

community in its condemnation are also in boycotts and sanctions. it is something which is supported by japan. and in fact, the u. s. has praised japan full rallying other countries in asia pacific to also condemn russia for its actions. all of these things will be discussed in the next a couple of days. this central part of tokyo, the streets at the moment, are quiet this sunday. but there is a very, very strong police presence, and in the next couple of days there will be all sorts of motor cade's back and forth to these meetings where all of these issues will be discussed, culminating in a meeting on tuesday of the so called quad security alliance of a japan, united states, australia, and india. again, this loose alliance, which is meant to try to constrain china's diplomatic and military ambitions in asia pacific people in the ty, capital, bangkok are voting for a new governor,

6 years after military seized control of the office. opinion polls suggest independent and opposition candidates and leading the field i am at val has more. this is bunk. cox 1st governor elect since the cool that brought the military to power in 2030. the military remove the previous elected governor in 2016 to his tom police general asked when one more in the job. now he says he's running as an independent candidate, though many still see him as the chosen nominee of the military guy. yeah, my last day with agile and i want to continue serving the people found it's common to run for an office for another term. i know that i was appointed, but now i want to be elected one monks, perceived closeness to the cooley. this may cost him at the palms. his may rival, engineer and former minister chad chart, city point and joys white support among young people who fill the streets on many occasions to protest against the military coup and the monthly form. he says he has

a vision for a more modernized, more prosperous capitol. like then i'm gonna wrap. it doesn't matter if you're an independent candidate or backed by political parties. the governor has to remove his allegiance to a political party and has to try his or her best to take care of the people. city points, young supporters who failed to have their demands met through protests, see the selection as unlikely opportunity for change. they don't want to miss it. when you do call upon have this is a mall or there is a huge crack down on young protests. it's probably the 1st clash between protesters and police officers. you think that those kids will came out to fight on the street . we're not comfortable with that. hm. hey, been gone today and i, i think it will show that young people care about politics and they are aware of what's going on. they are not just someone who hides behind the keyboard. it is time for us to choose who should lead us and how the city will move forward. the

last bunker governor election was in 2013. and for 9 years opposition voters have been waiting for a day like this, hoping it will allow them to get by the ballot box. what was denied them by force. since the military co, i'm at $10.00. there's been an explosion in kabul. there a hotel with siena, taliban figures had gathered, at least 3 people had been killed. commemoration events was taking place near by for the tele benz, former leader. since seizing power in august, the group has struggled to deal with repeated attacks on major cities, mostly by iso linked groups. afghan, that female tv presenters have begun that covering their faces while on air under orders. bodily taliban rooters is part of a grown cracked on, on women showing their faces in public. they're haunting as more. mm. if you turn on the evening news in afghanistan, this is the face that will greet you. sonya niecy has presented on tv many times

before, but she says, never like this when that, but my mom, how about a presenter must feel totally calm and relaxed during the news to convey the truth to the people. but today for the 1st time i experienced a moment where i had to present my program wearing a mask and i wasn't feeling good at all. that in last week, tell about officials ordered all women to cover their full body is when outside the home. then days later, they said that applies to women on tv as well. if i want to have fun, but this decree is unpredictable for all female presenters, because a slum has not commanded us to cover our faces. every islamic scholar and political figure has opposed this decree. forcing women to cover their faces is a return to a signature policy of the taller bonds passed hard line rule. the taliban said female presenters. it could wear a medical mask instead. regardless, sonya says she feels trapped, i must have rattled on her this. if such decrees are issued and imposed on women

than women across afghanistan will be eliminated. as we see now that women are being gradually eliminated. if women don't comply, they or their mel guardians could get fired from their jobs or imprisoned. taliban leaders had promised to respect women's and girls rights when they retook control of afghanistan last august. but rights groups have voiced concerns about the growing crackdown, including liberty, girls, education, and now the female faith is the latest target wiped from afghan tv screens. leo harding al jazeera, bolivian indigenous women have developed an app to fight domestic violence. whenever an s o s button is activated 3 close contacts with the potential victim, i notified that she's in danger. it's been down there did hundreds of times since november.
