hello mccloud. this is out 0. live from bo also cut me up. you a nuclear inspectors are heading to a russian held power plant in the east in ukraine after tax nearby posed a threat. a huge relief operation underway in pakistan where floods to be affected . millions of people will get the latest from swat valley and cindy providence, a technical glitch, a grounds and masses, powerful rocket shortly before its mission to the move. ah said that supports as of the influential shiite leader, mac tada outsider, have stormed the presidential palace in the iraqi capital of baghdad at itself to sutter earlier announced he would permanently resign from politics. the army has imposed a total curfew in pike. that said, as supporters have been,

is sitting outside erect parliament for a month, and iraq has not had a functioning government in nearly a year. when you get like pictures from iraq. it's not exactly clear what we're looking at that point. it's clearly being pictures filmed from a car. there have been reports of tear gas and ongoing protests on the streets, mahmud up while he joins us now on the phone from by me. what do you see? what are you hearing like at this turn? it so violent here inside the presidential palace, we were trying to get ready to the lie of that. as soon as we got on front of the gate of the for the right police policy shooting you guys can is to on every body in the position. it's so cute we saw some people got injured because some of the ball, the gas can directly to protect it. so keyah to kill, to try to attack every single person in the position. now, some people have been trying to cold war, come to prevent the attack boy right police on the protective. but there's still so

keep trying to climb the fence to just to save their lives, to get away from the violence. right? police are using gas canisters takes this high to push out the present part of by if the possible mean. now this comes immediately of total k take probably minutes. so most of the me just instructed also with your bosses to be on high of the holding of the position by the support tech in our via kill because there are packing the vehicle right now with muffler dickie. okay. when i continue, i can hear you. yes. if you're able continue, if you can't do it,

you can look up the line bits. we can see right? police outside the vehicle and they as a walking by they, they're all armed with buttons and seem to be chapping the windows of your car. and if you think you can speak to the shooting gas canisters on the professor, i said mommy, just remind us of the context of this and what's led to this moment. this all happened immediately after the last, the tweed white and i was in his resignation, quitting the whole political process. but in the mean time, in the meantime, he says he cannot interfere in one of the will do that means that escalation, because every time he would inflict his support to that in or leave the but the time now to attack, you know, now security pack it off inside the you

know, it's not the suggested you try to be security can you can hear me. we can, we can hear the bible sort of brother him just to recap, what we're looking at here is this is a reporter on the street by that outside the presidential palace, filming via mobile phones from within the call, the area right. who have been called to the scene because the curfew is being called to try and push surrounding his vehicle as we speak. and not just keeping his down out of sight of the police as they

try and control the situation. because we've seen we've seen the protest is being pushed up by the police made we're going to leave, you know, i think you need to deal with that situation and we'll come back to a little bit later when it's a little more settled. when we total satta has been a crucial figure in iraqi politics. for a long time she needed cyrus. movement is one of the most powerful factions erased in providence. after the end of saddam hussein's leadership in 2003 is the model. the departure of american troops and is against iran's influence. his movement swept to victory and elections in october last year within $73.00 seats. but after months of failing to form a government, he ordered his m. p. 's to resign and that was in june. and the supporters of protested in central bank that's in july and they briefly occupied parliament. i'm so had i, there's a visiting fellow at the european council on foreign relations. and he says that his intentions are not clear. i think like a lot of rockies were wondering what is the exactly resigning from mustard aside

that doesn't hold an official position in the state and 73 m p 's that he had in parliament. he had the resign a few weeks ago. so it's not quite clear what is the resigning from. is he asking his other members of his party that whole bureaucratic physicians in the state to resign that's to be seen? so it's, and the question is, he's, you've done this many times and usually when he, he does claim to be withdrawing or resigning from the political system, it's usually before election and he always ends up back tracking. so the question again here is, will he backtrack as well? it could get dangerous. i mean, while we're questioning what resignation from politics, news for most of the us either what, what it could also mean is that he's not going to take any blame for what his supporters will do. we've seen them now enter the republican palace in the green

zone they've, they've been occupying parliament before that. so it looks like, by withdrawing from from politics. whatever that means me is what it really means is members is go do what you want and i will not be held responsible for you, which could be a dangerous escalation. ah, it came from the un nuclear watchdog is on its way to inspect ukraine's deputy to a power plant in the southeast, the head of the international atomic energy agency refilled grossey. as for permission to visit the site from once cross each, we took this picture a few hours ago. he craner russia, have traded blame for shelling near the facility. your biggest nuclear power plant has been occupied by russian troops started the war. the head of ukraine's atomic energy company is called moscow to remove its troops. still lou with her for the best for preserves a. we will be able to bring him asked was a final on the ultima, 3 decision foreclosure nuclear power plant just to remove fractions from her to

services, millersville. and let's hear now from teresa who has more from keith, lucre power plants are not meant to be in the middle of a war zone. and that's what exactly is going on right now with fighting and shelling all around the area. a surrounding area outside the nuclear power plant. in fact, the russian minister of defense, a said that ukrainian forces had been shelling very, very close to where the reactors are located. something that the ukrainian forces deny. they are saying that it's the other way around. so, you know, it's been for 4 months now, they're the i a e, a has been demanding to be able to allow to go inside the power to evaluate whether any type of damage has been caused there. but there's been an ongoing debate about how this visit that now seems very, very close to happen, is going to take face initially. moscow wanted vac visit to go through russia. well,

apparently, and from what we're hearing, it seems that the i eat a team is coming here to ukraine. they'll have to cross through the front lines. so certainly there is a big bicker, security issue being handled and negotiated. we also know that president vladimir defaulting about a week ago, he spoke with a french president in manuel macro, where they both agreed about the need to establish this video. so what are the inspector is going to be monitoring 1st is the damage whether any type of damage happened in there. the 2nd important issue is to see how the workforce is being handled. let's not forget that the plant continues to be a handled by technicians, ukrainian technicians for closely monitored by russian soldier. so certainly this is another issue. and the 3rd is that item important item is that all the safety systems are in place to pakistan where foreign aid is started to arrive as a deals with record flooding planes from turkey, the u. e landed on sunday. more than a 1000 people have died since mid june. military helicopters have been deployed to

help those stranded in remote mountainous areas. the minister for climate changes rolled up to a 3rd of the country could still be after the monsoon season ends come a height or is in the swat region of pakistan where the aid has been started at arriving and some of the remote regions. because the road networks are badly affected, the bridges are gone. the landslide have locked the road. and at a 100 of daughters what they will stock. an upward suad we've been seeing military helicopter, going to and fro to bring those people out. many still remain in those areas. and also the situation downstream as getting was where doors and about 336000 and you think and now it's now flying at north gera. and i've got the people that we spoke to read and was said to us that they said for dimes bigger than the 2010 disaster

which affected almost 20000000 people are. we also saw that a 100 go voltaire, that been walked away. obliterated. there is no sign that there was indeed a hotel, in fact that the raging gardens have brought big rock under the rock, have acted as grind, dead decimating everything in its bought over. the last thing is that been able to evacuate despite the fact that this happened late night at about 2 am. at night however, the people were able to get out. now we are doors that people have been cut off, but they need to and they need food, they need medical supplies. and i've got the biggest challenge will be to start rebuilding the road led to the south of pakistan, knowns, and bus robbie has more from the city to cook in sin province. we've just heard reports that the loss of human life is now estimated to be closer to 1100 people.

but we hear accounts that suggests the death toll will end up being much higher. the countless number taken into people as well. and how would this place we've been driving around the province and are common side as people just on the side of the road with all their belongings, everything they own because of things like this flooded feels and flooded villages . now one thing to remember about send is 70 percent of economy depends on agriculture. agriculture is at the center of not only the economy but the culture of these places. and this kind of thing has decimated crops this season. and it's going to have problems going forward because replanting and renewing the economy will become a problem. and what we have seen here is that the, the british era levy use in water systems that regulate the flow of water that manage this agriculture. those have been a key part of pocket stones,

water management infrastructure for generations. and those are british colonial era build. the worry now is that they won't be ready for what more is about to come. in, sued and heavy rains. instrumental floods have destroyed nearly 70000 head of agriculture lead, at least 4000 times in capitalist data, submerged forcing people to make sure shelters. a state of emergency has been declared in 6 states. dozens of people have died. how well has gone from the capital call to these floods. i'm now affecting 15 states across sudan. so it's a huge situation and it is being tackled by the office to see about. remember, there is only take a government in sudan, but is playing a struggling. it has been struggling with long and difficult problems in the country economy problems and so on. some relief has arrived. cotton has sent shipments of elite supplies and also other golf countries sent that it is released supplies shipments. but the problem is logistics within the country. so how to

reach these vast areas? remember, so that is one of the largest, the biggest countries in terms of area in africa and most of sudan is low lands that made cities vulnerable to these floods. and the problem now is that some of that, if, as most of the, if, as i would say in the east, in particular, are you threatened by these floods, they can burst out, they can best out of their backs any time. and that means more misery for those people who have been already affected in the state of white. and i am at the latest news we have is not vast areas that have been affected are inaccessible, even by the government authorities, or any people who want to bring the supplies to those to those villages. as i said, this is one of the west. this is one of the worst situations like this in sudan for years. so i had her now deserve. we'll tell you why israel's government is now targeting palestinian textbooks. 9

and we meet a man in cambodia is trying to keep traditional music alive. ah, hi there, let's give you an update on the flooding situation in pakistan has we know the monsoon rains in a bit of a law right now. so most of it has petered out, but still some showers at fort southern sin province. that includes karachi with the high 33 degrees, but nothing major compared to what we have seen over the last little bit. now for india, it's along the western gats where there's mount soon. rains are picking up so from mahar roster rate into careless state on tuesday after china there's been a dropping those temperatures for chung chain. finally after more than $75.00 days of a heat wave. you're now down to 30 degrees,

which is below average for this time the year. and we've got this tropical storm looks like it's going to slam into japan, southern most islands, but q shoe and the main island of hans. you won't be impacted by this, but you've got a slug of rain moving your way. and here's where it is on tuesday through the korean peninsula. that's press place. he where it goes to stay and to wednesday over those waters between korea and japan. most of it's going to pour into northern honshu and whole kado, but there is the rain not too far away from tokyo on to say with the high 30 degrees. meantime for the northeast of china, a few showers not far away from beijing. in same goes for harbor with the height of $23.00 degrees that show up they ah, examining the impact of today's headline is that both hard liners. what then? setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussions. oh, likely is of that ukraine is actually going to get the rebuilding support,

really international filmmakers and warcraft journalists bring programs to inspire . i don't think i can return to that life anymore, is eroding some of it to my freedom. on al jazeera lou. ah, i forgotten you're watching al jazeera mind about top stories, rashaw and iraqi security forces have attacked a vehicle carry elgin's here as crew in baghdad. the self have been covering protest by supporters of influential shiite leader would talk to outside of iraqi police were trying to disperse,

such as supporters who stormed the presidential palace itself. that cider announced he would permanently resign from politics. the army has imposed a curfew. iran president deborah, him or you see has made a public address to mark his 1st year in office. he said he's had a challenge a year from an economic crisis caused by years of sanctions to negotiations to restore the 2050 new to bill. boss jibari has more now from tara president abraham racy, held a news conference to highlight his government's achievements. but also defended iran's nuclear program in hampton was alone was because you missed from the beginning the zionist regime didn't want us to have access to nuclear science. but it's become part of our country. you can take it from us. the zionists did all the code to stop us to kill our scientists, but we didn't stop. none of their actions will be able to stop us. this is an absolute right of iran. are you hold on?

oh, he came to office more than a year ago, promising to fight corruption and restore iranians trust in their government for both. abraham bracy was the former head of her aunt's judiciary and no one the presidential election. securing nearly 63 percent of the votes in the lowest turnout since the 1979 revolution, only 49 percent of the public voted racy campaign to reduce unemployment inflation and address a growing housing problem. but it's been a challenging 1st year in office with aaron's economy continuing, its the kline inflation is around 40 percent. the unofficial unemployment rate hovers around 30 to 35 percent with nearly 60 percent of the population now living in poverty, economic stagnation and sir corruption remains a key challenge for the race administration. and sir, nobody is expecting this to be fixed or resolved within

a short period of time. one year is not sufficient or to see that happening. he needs more time. president racy isn't just fighting to save the economy. but attacks like this also highlight the difficulties facing her aunt's security apparatus on may 22nd in south to her on 2 armed men on a motorcycle opened fire on a vehicle driven by general has sun saturday from the colts. force of the revolutionary guards. the general died on the spot. iranian officials blamed israel 3 days later, another suspicious incident in the town of parking near the capital one of the heavily fortified military compounds. the incidents killed the defense ministry engineer, a song at peggy. there's been no official word about the cause of his death. what was in the other issue dominating races? first you're in office has been that diplomatic effort to restore that landmark 2015 nuclear agreements. these talks are aimed at bringing the united states on her

own back to full compliance. it was that the deal saw iran limit its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief on buffalo ideal. israel has strongly criticized and said it will not prevent it from doing what it needs to do to stop iran from developing a nuclear weapon. and don't talk, have now reached the state where a draft agreement has been presented. according to the european union foreign policy. chief joseph morale that will requires serious political will from officials into iran and washington. the 2 sides are now exchanging notes on that text. and what happens next will not only have ramifications from millions of iranians, but we'll also define abraham gracie's 1st term in office door such a bari al jazeera, teheran. let's return to a top store. the calles in iraq after influential sheerly de material sutter notes . he's pony resigning from politics and we can speak now. jacqueline boss, who's a political and miss jones is now from washington. d. c. what do you make, mr. boss of what's been happening and by gutter?

thank you very much for those. i think we are moving the frogs and manage the process. the process will be clear leadership that the political class can talk to, to a popular product test without a leader shirt. this makes it very difficult for the political class to have him go see her on the other end of the table to some sort of a compromise. this also spells that need for the class. the room for the was sort of the framework. busy she movements that the cruise is this goal wishon to start or so it's very difficult for them now to have some sort of handling events. the number of processors is increasing in some areas, exponentially. the government has refused to push back against them using violent means, which is good, but this also means an encouragement to other proc testers to join. so

bit over chaos is seen very embarrassing for the, coordinating your framework, weekends. there are physicians, they are now in the position to come up with some things to respond to this. and so far they have been saying, or store, or during the government has to follow legation to protect up with property, so on and so forth. the usual rectory that has been around for like the last 2 or 3 weeks knowing your physician, political physician, that could have the way for a solution. so what do you make up mac taught outside as announcements earlier that he would permanently resign from politics. i mean, permanently is so much in the out, but i think this is a strategic move he prepare for lots of things for it is gonna be

what is basically saying to them, you could have negotiated with me. we could have found a solution. now i am all you have to deal with people directly. and when you deal with people directly, you have more people joining. and i think one point of importance here and that we will probably see in the next few days is that this, this process is slowly moving from being subtler is to process and to a popular process. because lots of the people who went against the regime, the system in 2019 what's called the, to sri. these refused to join in the satirist process, basically saying which are not be undergoing of cider will have problems with and they shot out us in 2020, so on and so forth. now by side they're removing himself from the sea,

disbanding the committee of the southern committee. that supervised the current process. this execution is being removed and it is likely we see some trains more to sri needs joining this process and their own areas and other words, love to find the france that the coordinating framework or the government. so i have to deal with makes it harder on the coordinating ring, just very briefly, if you would say, given where we're at and how long this has been going on. and now what's happened this afternoon? no. where can resolution come from off? i mean, this is open ended, it's really difficult to figure out which way the events are, are, are going. but it is hard for me to see that these great numbers of people will be back because of a statement being issued or from the government,

or their coordinating of frameworks or so on and so forth. there must be some serious concession give van to the satirist movement and order for solder or. yeah, his people not necessarily directly from, to ask his people to go back. i mean, this is a still so much southern influenza and i don't really see any way. oh, useful solution without some serious concessions of, from one side, most likely from the coordinate and your framework. i care about se, appreciate your perspective. thanks very much. and if a joyous here in our desert or come the p o p and ambassador to said, sudan has cooled on the international community to pressure rebels from take right to enter into p stalls. t p l f fights is say they've taken control of the northern ton of all dia in the neighboring m hara region. and they reportedly advancing on the manufacturing help of dessie about 200 kilometers away. and as strike hit,

the rebels stronghold of maclay on friday can be at least 4 people. the government says it targeted military sites, but unicef says a kindergarten was hit. the sci fi was agreed early this year, but fighting resumed last week. brazil has held its 1st presidential debate in the run up to elections in october. the front runners saw president jaya bol scenario and former leader. do sincerely lived a silver you surging in the opinion. polls for other candidates took part in the televised bait, which became heated when paulson aro, accused lula of corruption, a keyboard boat, the gypsy thou, sick inch. it is important for people to know. no other president did more to investigate corruption than our government by the casual mothers was you figure there is no justification for this untruthful answer. you go to not. yes, your government was the most corrupt in the whole history of brazil. venezuela in columbia have restored diplomatic relations just days after the

inauguration of columbia's left wing president, gustavo petro, both governments have re appointed ambassadors and agreed to increase security along their 2000 kilometer border. columbia's previous government cut ties with caracas, surf to president nicholas maderos, disputed reelection back in 2019 the launch of nasa's much anticipated artemus rocket has been postponed because of technical problems they would have in the agencies 1st major step towards a mand moon mission. in 50 years, but engineers at the kennedy space center in florida, i have encountered an issue with one of the engines. and our apollo has more from the kennedy space center in florida. officials here at the kennedy space center have confirmed that a hydrogen league involving one of the 4 engines of the space launch system, or assa, less of the arden. this one mission poses enough of a problem to force the agency to delay the mission. now, authorities here in cape canaveral, worse, expecting anywhere between 800000 half

a 1000000 spectators to be in attendance for today's launch. so you can imagine the scale of, of the disappointment by a so many people who are expecting to see the launch of the most powerful rock at nasa has ever constructed. now this by no means represents a failure. but it does mean that the launch of artemus one will be delayed to no sooner than friday, september 2nd. now nasa also has other launch windows available in the event of any further delays. ah, so this is not 0. these are the top stories and iraqi security forces of a type of vehicle carrying alger, his crew bike that the staff have been covering protest by supporters of influential she lead at mac. tada al, sada rocky police were trying to disperse out of support as if storm the presidential palace was off the side or announced.
