christina fernandez occasion of became argentina's 1st elected female president, taking over from her husband ness or kitchener. she how the post until 2015, several corruption scandals broke during her 2 terms as president and triggered calls for her to sit down gauge in our face charges in office including fraud corruption and treason him. in a blanco's chief unless said, head of america's at risk consultancy various maple croft, she says, is uncertain what the long term political implications on the incident will be. it's part of an escalation in the fragmentation of the political system in argentina that we have been witnessing now for its several weeks. and there is a very high level of polarization around this particular corruption case. crowds have been gathering outside of the vps home now for coming up to 10 days. oh, and there's been debates around her security,

whether this should be provided by the city of when or cyrus the federal police, et cetera. so it's a very tense situation that clearly has been, or there has been an attempt to exploited by a someone who is an extreme disagreement. and it's, you know, a very shocking case of political violence in the countries. recent history. in the short term, there will be a rebound in support of, you know, people who did vote for a kira center that has been disappointed by the economic performance and the handling of the pandemic. of the government led by precedent for an under some b, p. kirshner will, but potentially return there is support to her. but argentina is not heading to the poles now for another 13 months and in argent time, political terms, that is an eternity. so i think it's too early to say whether this will this new level of support will be sustained until october 2023, or whether the countries economic woes will actually have

a greater electoral impact. or when we get to the ballot box in other world views, at least 15 people, including a high profile cleric have been killed in a blast in afghan. his son, it happened near historic mosque in the western city of herat witnesses same. would ye berman and sorry, and his entourage were on their way to the mosque. dozens have also been injured in the attack. the united nations atomic watchdog says 2 of its inspectors will stay at these operations nuclear plant permanently on thursday, the inspection team said it was concerned about the physical integrity of the facility in southern ukraine. keven moscow have accused each other of endangering the plant with military strikes. the nuclear power generating facilities controlled by russia, but manned by ukrainian staff. cable is under his in cave. he says it's still unclear, harvey i. e, a planned to maintain

a permanent mission. quick question. that we're facing now is what happens next to the i a officials. they're on their 2nd day at the visit. and there's been conflicting reports on if they would leave completely over the weekend if they would try to stay a little bit longer or keep some sort of permanent presence there. it appears that they are going to try to keep some sort of permanent presence. that's the i e e officials i'm speaking about at does apparition, nuclear power plant. what that arrangement exactly will look like the exact details we simply don't know yet, but we can tell you that we are getting a better sense of how the a visit by the i e officials has been going. and it's clearly been very staged managed by russia. there were no international journalists or ukrainian journalists

that were allowed to accompany the inspectors. only journalists that were approved by the russians. and then also we saw that as the i, e. officials were touring the plant, they were accompanied by an official in a dark suit. and we have discovered that person is a advisor to the russian nuclear watchdog or the non russian nuclear organization. you add all this up and this is why the view from keith is very skeptical. and that is why we're hearing from president of all the mears zelinski about a census. if you get in, he's insinuating, if you will, that he's not happy with how this has gone down so far. let's listen to a little bit more of what zelinski had to say. green is a bill of sin, la, delicious demilitarization of the territory of the station is the goal, and it is bad that we have not yet heard the appropriate messages from the i. e. a, despite the fact that we talked about, it was mr. grossi during our meeting, and yet it was the key security point of our agreements. it was outlined clearly,

demilitarization and full controlled by our nuclear workers. england. a gordon myanmar has sentenced, i'll said leader, unsigned so cheap to 3 years jail for electoral fraud in 2020. the military rulers say they found evidence of at least 11000000 cases of voter fraud in the election that su, cheese 41. independent observers did not find any major irregularities. she's already been jailed for 17 years on separate offences, including corruption and nan mars june to has also jailed britain's former ambassador to the country for one year over a visa breach. becky bowman was arrested a week ago. her husband is a prominent artists and activists, and was also sentenced to a year for helping her reach immigration rules. tony chang is solving the u. k. a. the former you case ambassadors case from bangkok. this is something of a surprise. we've been told when vicki bowman and i've been, were arrested last week, there would be

a hearing on the 6th of september. the fact that it has come through so quickly with a hearing and saying prison sentence handed down already is again, i think it's taken some people slightly back. in addition to which this really is just as minor infringement of the conditions of her visa, which said that she had to remain in her residence. in san chung, in a suburb of young gone the apparently she spent much of the last year living in shan state. but i think the fact that she was such a high profile person that, that she had been the british ambassador in yan gone during a period when a previous military genta had been in charge, had marked her out friends of hers, had expressed concerns in the past that they were concerned, she might become a porn in the disorder, increasingly turbulent, political environment within me. emma. and we've also seen the british government in the past week, taking more action against companies related to me and mas military rulers. so

there may be a certain element of tit for tat in this us present. joe biden has launched a scathing attack on his predecessor, donald trump, and the republican to support him by the fed. trump and his back is both a threat to the very foundations of the united states. i white house correspondent, kimberly healthcare report. speaking from philadelphia, the city known as the birthplace of american democracy, president joe biden delivered a prime time address, declaring the us democratic values are under assault. i've come to this place where it all began to speak as plainly as i can to the nation about the threats we face using sharp and combat of language. biden targeted his political rival by name repeatedly former president donald trump biden has called trump's make america great again, or mag, a republican followers semi fascists,

arrayed on the home of his top political rival. donald trump, that is an assault on democracy. republicans also accused bitin of miss handling the economy and being soft on immigration, their issues that in recent months caused biden's approval ratings to plummet. the white house helps this forceful rebuke of tromp and his followers will turn things around. there are dangers around us. we cannot allow to prevail. we hear you've heard it more and more talk about violence as an acceptable political tool in this country. it's not said sharpening his attacks on for president trump president byron's approval ratings have been rising. its momentum he hopes will help his democratic party retain control of congress can voting day in november.

might expect something around 5 percent. and those at the more novice level, freshly qualified pilots would receive perhaps less and yet they, the management says that they believe this is a responsible, reasonable offer. and they can't understand why the union will not accept. it has to be said so far. at least there's no indication that either side is prepared immediately to return to the negotiating table. it's the final day of campaigning in chile ahead of a constitutional referendum on sunday. the decision to re draft the constitution followed major protest against inequality in 2019. in october, 20, 2070 percent of the electorate voted in favor of a new constitution to replace one from 1980 a final version. the new document was written by especially elective assembly and presented in july. it enshrines gender equality. indigenous rights and environmental protections only has indicated most people will rejected,
