contending and, and wandering in a matter of very deep concern for the government losing kind of figures you know, more than you would want. and so he was one of the key figures. he was one of the elite of the society, especially when it's in the wisdom and, and harass program. so he was very outspoken person during the previous year and he says, well, he was one of the critics of the previous element. and especially the, the presence of the forces. and so yesterday he was at a loss for the, for the afternoon and leans comes to the government to the they should be that he can sunday, you mentioned the government there. i mean in terms of security in areas like this, what can i tell about actually do actually in terms of

mosque and especially a big mos player being taken place. so they have their security running cobble in front of the marketplace. and there you go to dollars every month for the thread where people gather but for these kind of people, of course they have their security not only for the masters and for the mosque like interrupt, which is quite big. and that provence. but for the on the market, but the thing which is not significantly enough to prevent such kind of incidents actually. ready so what are the people are requesting? what are the people to be these kind of beliefs and figures of figures should be protected was and that needs to be given personal security. and would this have been designed to send a particular message, or was it part of a continuing campaign in your opinion?

u. n's. atomic watchdog says it 2 of its inspectors will stay at this operation. nuclear plant permanently and i 18 arrived at the facility in southern ukraine after journey across the front lines on thursday. inspectors say they're concerned about the physical integrity of the plant nuclear power generating facilities controlled by russia, but man by ukrainian staff. heave and moscow have accused each other of endangering the plant with military strikes. selena yula, robert since mid july, the ukrainian armed forces using western weapons have been regularly attacking the infrastructure of the separation nuclear power plants are sometimes held arguable to you've created a real threats of a nuclear catastrophe in europe. according to international law, this is nothing but nuclear terrorism. i responsibly state that we do not have any

heavy weapons on the territory of the nuclear power plant and in the surrounding areas. i hope that the i e a commission will be able to see that themselves. i miss you will carina isabella said, la dollars shall demilitarization of the territory of the station is the god, 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. or gabriel elizondo is alive for us. now, in that kiva gave out what had the ukranian authorities made on this visit to the separation nuclear plot. whether clearly disappointed here and keep their disappointed. because as you just heard from a president multimeter zalinski, they were hoping that there would be strong statements coming from the i ha,

about demilitarize in the nuclear power plant and asking russian forces to leave the power plant. and that clearly has not happened yet. we do expect to hear from rafael grossi the i, e, a director general, and a few hours will be briefing the media and a press conference from vienna. so be watching that very closely to see what he has to say. but there is definitely a sense here and keep that in their words, russia stage to manage this visit in this visit. that is continuing because there's still a handful of i. e, a inspectors at the plant as we speak on this friday. they feel that we're, that russia staged managed it by only allowing law kremlin friendly journalist to attend and enter the nuclear zone area. ukrainian journalists and foreign press international media based here in ukraine were barred by russia from accompanying the inspectors. and they also say that some video that

has come out shows that one of the officials that was an accompanying the i e, a inspectors as they were touring, the plant was an advisor to the russian nuclear agency. so it in keith here, it's seen that this very much has been staged managed by russia, and that the inspectors are not getting a true evaluation of what the situation is there. however, russia clearly denies that they are saying that they're gonna withhold judgment on how this inspection has gone so far. but saying, listen, we're giving russia saying, listen, we're giving the international community and ukraine exactly what they wanted. they wanted the i a inspectors to come visit and we're open in the doors and letting them do that. on the other side, of course you greatest thing. it's not simply enough to open the doors and let people visit you that a show them a true, a view of what's happening there. and ukrainian officials are saying that's simply not happening. and gabriel, outside of that,

what is the situation with the fighting in the south and other areas as far as we know? yeah, it's been fairly stagnant on this friday. we have not seen or heard of any major shifts in territory in the fighting in the south. this is where it was focusing right now. the counter offensive that you create is launched in the, in the south, a have song region. and it's important to point out that have soon is a capital city of that region, but it's also a region have soon region. and it appears. now, as we go and about day 4 of this counter offensive, that it is going to be slow. it is not going to be fast. it is not going to be something that ukraine accomplishes, or even tries to accomplish in a few days or even a week or 2. they are being very methodical about this, and there is clear resistance by russia. but so far on friday, at least we have not heard of any major movements one way or the other. but while

people are focusing on the southern counter offensive, there is still fierce fighting in the dom bass and the far east. and we even heard about the ukraine's 2nd largest city of hot keith in the northeast. ah, there ukrainian governor. they're saying that over night there is some artillery shelling from russia in certain parts of the city. that's something we haven't been able to independently verify, but it shows that even while the focus right now is on the south at least what many in the media and what many of ukrainians are focusing their energies on that counter offensive? they're still fighting in the far east and even still shelling in the, in the northeast, the cities as well. gabriel and his on go with that update for us. thank you. argentina's vice president, christina fernandez. the coach now has survived an assassination attempt outside her home and one as horace, a man has been arrested for in the incident after his loaded gun failed to fire the

a like many, far why websites, good assumption goal that demoniac her evil culmination things later. in 2018, brazil's current president jarboe scenario was stabbed during an election rally which boosted his popularity. something analysts say could happen now. for kirschner, the b u shows re galia gun against her head. and thus, the shock indigent uses, like you so huge that on my help, huh. ironically, to regain some of the public that she might have those among people who do not agree with her. the president has declared friday a national holiday in defense of democracy, a united response from a government that has seen deepening divisions over its response to another economic crisis, which has seen 70 percent inflation some of the highest in the world. leah harding al jazeera when 2007, christina fernandez de kirschner became the country, is 1st elected female president. taking over from her husband nest or curtain,

she held the post until 2015 or several corruption scandals broke during her 2 terms, as president entreated calls for her to step down. question of faced charges in office, including fraud, corruption, and treason. but at stucco live 2 natalia corso, who's live in nevada sar, is worth thousands of people are expected to rally for the president's day to protect democracy. so natalia, what's happening where you are now the well, here we can see face people's dad has got to hear these crowd is one of the crowds that have been gathering him when on site is just start marching towards that place . it's about the kilometer from here. the pilot being house, what they will do, they show the support focusing from and then the kids know we can see different

political groups associations. i come come, i've come here close to christina. and then there's the kids on her parent is to paul, which is in government. now. they have been war ridge for her in the past few days because of the corruptions can the we've been hearing about. and they have been gathering at her house to show her support. but now after the association attempt, the heat has increased in the sense and they feel they have to be even more pressed . and i mean just point out that not everyone is supportive of christina and on this occasion, dina, and she's a very advice figure, but those who support it strongly support a c. d. the a very very charismatic me here. knowledge and data and natalia. what about the arch in time presence? reaction could he be seen to be getting political mileage out of this?

the well and he, it's interesting because it's enough for them. this has always been the strongest figure in this government in this coalition government of different power in east factions. and so the whole situation 1st the try and they and then they still says the nation attempt has strength a figure even more the press in has been moved a bit aside in the public eye if you wish, in the past few days on his definitely will be moved aside a bit more now. he came out, gave a public speech on, on tv, and i was just in every channel on thursday evening supporting her condemning the attack. thought again, we need to also understand that he came to power only because she picked have asked

her press so down the well, she was going to be the vice presidential candidate. and that decision how to do with these valerie se, so that existing knowledge and dina, around the figure of christine, i found on this how your costs are enough. one, sorry, thank you. more heads on the knees are including incremental progress on the iran nuclear deal. hereon sends a written response to the final feel, roadmap, minimum similitude into jails, a former position basta, and her husband sports find out baseball, say it was really needed for his learning effort to make a catch up with a us president joe biden has launched a scathing attack on his predecessor,

donald trump, and the republicans who support him by the said trump and his backers pose a threat to the very foundations of the united states. i was house correspondence. kimberly, how could report the 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. donald trump, the miger republicans represented extremism that threatened the very foundations of

our republic with just 8 weeks until voters go to the polls for mid term congressional elections and trump. now the focus of a criminal investigation into alleged miss handling of classified documents biden sending a message that a vote in november for some opposition republicans is a danger to democracy. but republicans fired back with their own speech. president biden has chosen to divide the means and disparage his fellow americans. why? simply because they disagree with his policies. they accused by then a weapon. i think the federal government to eliminate his political opposition. joe biden, to politicize department of justice launched, 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 hopes 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 biden's approval ratings have been rising. its momentum, he hope, will help his democratic party retain control of congress come voting day in november. kimberly, how can al jazeera the white house for weeks the u. s. and iran the have been trading thoughts on a final proposal to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. and on friday,

terran sent its reply to the e. u. for washington says ron's latest submission was not constructive. the national security council said there's been some progress, but warned there are still gaps in reaching an agreement. the you says it remains hopeful that all sides will come to an agreement. french present, micron said on thursday that he was hopefully deal could be signed in the coming days. that said, bringing that muhammad mirandi. he's a professor at the university of tehran, under media advisor for the iranian delegation at the vienna nuclear negotiations. he joins us now from terror. welcome to the program. so what would be the main sticking points here, or is this more about the wording of any deal? well as one former negotiator of the western countries, one said words matter. and the words matter for iran,

as well. the iranians are concerned that some of the wording in the text is ambiguous, and iran wants that resolve so that there will be no loopholes so that the united states and future could misuse those loopholes. so iran, one faith tightening up of the tax. and in addition to that, of course, there's the issue of the accusations that the iranians considered to be completely politicized made. in the i am a accusations that were led to by this re the regime. and since i a has a history being politicized, we saw that the chief of dia went israel and saw this re, the regime leaders before the board meeting. that was for in the eyes of the rhine is very provocative. and that the board, the board of governors is dominated by western countries. and we also have in,

according to wiki, leaks, the previous head of the i. e. a. when he wanted to be elected, he promised americans to be on their side on every major issue. so the iranians are saying that we are willing to cooperate with the international atomic energy agency . but the tech technical experts of the 2 size have to sort things out. and the police politicization of the case has to be put aside. and despite all of this, do you think that's ultimately a deal will be done? well, i think it is quite clear that the chinese want to deal the iranians want to deal the russians want to deal the british, the french and the germans want to deal. and even the americans want to deal, but the united states has a problem. and that is that it has biden, has opponents at home who, who said that he's given away too much to the iranians. of course,

the iranians consider these all to be their legitimate rights, but i think by the end is concerned about being seen as weak by his opponents before the elections. but then there is a counter argument that if there is a finding of an agreement that could bring down the price of gas and oil, a number of european countries have actually spoken to iranian, asking them to send gas to turkey to you countries. so it could have an impact and that could also help buy them. but the problem in the eyes of the iranian flies in washington and to put it simply then what will happen if the talks fail? well, i think it will be very tough for their europeans, more than anyone else. a winter is approaching, the weather is going to get cold and they have a huge energy crisis and economic crisis. and that could lead to major people

across the continent. iran wants to deal, but the europeans need a deal and the americans also know that they will face trouble at home with the can with the energy crisis continuing and economic crisis continuing. so the run is will not be the table. we have to remember that it was never the iranians who left the table after 2015 when the deal was 1st find the iranians abided by all of their commitments. di a recognize that in 15 consecutive statements, but the united states under obama constantly violated the deal. and then under trump, they taught the deal, and bite until now has simply been pursuing trans policies. so history shows that iran has been faithful to his commitments. and it is the united states and the europeans that are the problem. that's why they run into want to make sure that there are no ambiguities in the text. and that the false accusations are dealt with before

a deal can be implemented mirandi. we appreciate your time. thank you. thank you. iran that says it's navy pulled to unmanned american c. drones out to the red sea, radiant state television. at this footage, it says it came from the deck of an iranian navy destroyer, destroyers crew, they to tossed the 2 sally joan explorers over board well to american destroyers and u. s. navy helicopters are believed to have responded to the incident. now thousands of people have taken the streets of baghdad to demand regime change in iraq. the group is quoting for reforms and an end to a political deadlock that's dragged on for months and from 2 weeks of protest. rival shot groups have been at a stalemate when it comes to forming a new government. but across now to markwood head,

who has more on this in back that my mood of. what's the latest? ah, will add a new version, a new episode of protesting against the political elite and the iraqi capital about a dad once again. but this time by protested his who are affiliated to the neither to the rival shy factions, but to the 2019 mass protestants that i was did former prime minister. i did abdul maddie in 2019 these grotesque to say that they are taken to the streets just today to demand the removal of all the political elite. those home, the protest that is accused of a political and economic corruption. they have been marching, they have been marching, starting from eddie,

as in central baghdad. here i came to the agree, soon staging their protest. now in front of the supreme judicial council, demanding that solution of a parliament and removal of old the political elite from their posts. they have been chanting, they have been a chanting again as they reign. iranian backed politicians, they say they do not want any government to be manipulated by iran. they have been chanting against what they consider iran, iran operatives, and iraq whom they accuse of ruining the country for years. and now they say they say that they cannot accept any government to be voted by iraq bags of petitions. they have been chanting, richard a thing that demanded of 2019 in fact, chanting against impunity. calling for justice for their colleagues,

calling for justice for their colleagues, saying that they have been raising pictures of the colleagues, whole cell who would kill that kinds of security forces in 2019 who's up again, it's corruption and mismanagement. 2019. and these protests just tell us that they have that many very highly educated colleagues here who cannot afford to have a job. they say they're rising up today against unemployment, against high rates of up to in iraq, one of the richest only countries. but it cannot afford to provide it's use of suitable jobs. i don't know. now these demand just these demand history to some extent, to some extent for parallel with the same demands that were raised by so that it supports us the last week. today these protestors have taken to the green zone,

trying to convey that a message that they want to all the political elite to be here in ohio to be removed from the political scene. again, once again, they had been the right to rating their demands, calling for justice, but those so would kill that dance of security forces in 2019. they say that they say that justice has not been served with for 2 years now. so they say you could either continue protesting here they would continue to protest yet like this one right here in our big it says iran what not control iraq and it is a science with. so i did a staging that approach now in front of the info in front of the supreme judicial council, trying to convey their message today. the, at

a calling on the supreme judicial counsel to intervene and dissolve the parliament . okay, we're going to leave that martha. i don't want to put that fluid situation in baghdad. thank you very much. so the head on al jazeera, the g 7 announces its putting a price cap on russian oil. and moscow says it was simply stopped saying to g 7 countries. the mos gets sent to sale. the indian ocean, the largest warship ever built by india, is unveiled. unimportant majesty lighted. make it 3 straight with that story coming up made. ah

how i was seen some really heavy rain affecting southern parts of brazil racing. nick, see this bolger cloud here? fund re down pause, making the way down towards uruguay. linking back towards paraguay towards sub bolivia. we have got lossy dry weather into central parts, so just wanted to shout with will salvatore i which will cease? and then the usual crop a shower, just run northern parts of the amazon basin just pushing up to northern areas of brazil to ward st. venezuela. serene arm, guyana, french, kind of seeing some wet weather as well. down towards the southeast to brazil. it does turn dryer and brighter as we go on through our satch de that area class started to slip out into the south atlantic. dry not bright enough upon a stairs with the top temperature of ram 19 degrees celsius and not see bad across the caribbean at the moment. so a lot of fine, well, a lot of sunshine, but we are keeping a close our system just out into that eastern side of the region just out into the atlantic that may well develop into a tropical system over the next hour. so i could bring some very heavy right

towards the yeah, lesser antilles. meanwhile, central parts of america save some really heavy rain at the moment as pushing up towards a good part of central and northern mexico. we have recently seasoned flooding. ah, the frank assessments, how much support is there if it's street protests that we've seen in jail across the rest of the country, the street has been, has been very good. that's happening into the co confound people across the country . informed opinions, we will say more about what is happening is that climate change it to making them work in depth analysis of the days global headlines draw. he is credited by some way where they were storing italy's credibility this critics would say he couldn't play the part of a politician. what do you think went wrong inside story on al jazeera? ah, with,

with ah, watching all 0 reminder about top stores this out. a bombing at most enough, got a stone, has killed at least 47 people. the attack happened that the biggest mosque in the western city of parrot killing the proton about cleric gibb brockman. i'm sorry,

the man has been detained off to trying to shoot argentina's vice president as she was greeting supporters at her home and born as far as the president has declared friday, a national holiday to show for the dancing with the un atomic watch dog says 2 of its inspectors will stay at his operation nuclear plant permanently. on thursday, the team said it was concerned for the physical integrity of the facility in southern ukraine. g 7, finance ministers have agreed to set a price cap on the russian gas. the group made the announcements on friday. i think it will revisit the price as necessary. moscow has 5 back this thing to stop selling oil 2 countries that agree to a price that germany has admitted. it's not yet ready to completely with placed, it's russian energy supply. when it comes, as russia has halted, the gas flow,

yet again, through the north stream, one pipes delivers to europe via germany, russia, james disruption sanctions and problems with turbines. europe has been using the gas from north stream to fill its energy storage before winter, but the commission president says they've already hit their target to get my minds . i'm spicer for you've agreed on common storage and the storage level in europe now stands at 80 percent. this was achieved more quickly than expected. in fact, we had only expected this and 2 months. we have worked intensively on getting away from our dependency on rushing gas by turning to other supplies. by now, nor we deliver more gas to europe in russia, the united states delivers a large amounts of liquefied natural gas to europe. but all of this is enough on the f you that's bring in new friends and now he's an energy expert and scientific advisor at the italian institute of international affairs. so he joins us now from

brussels. thank you for joining us. how serious do you think is this latest energy development? of course, so the situation is very serious. in europe. we have seen very high privacy already for a few months, around 300 years per megawatt hour for gas and double decimal in florida. this is of course, very serious for households, but it was for industrial consumers. actually in the last couple of days, we've seen a small decline, the gas prices, which went down to around 200 years per megawatt hour. these could be due to the fact that the servers and market years think that supplies to more stream one might actually resume tomorrow after the interruption. that lasted for 3 days. but it might be due to the announcement by the european commission of the a number of measures that target to high energy prices and what,

how you are pin country doing to try and reduce their reliance on russian energy. then the european commission has really put forward in july plan to reduce gas demand and it was very successful in terms of how quickly it was adopted. so process really showed that it can act fast. now of course, the challenge is to implement. countries individually have taken different directions, so each country is pursuing. so in a strategy for lever situation, we've seen any indication of cost between in countries in africa and the middle east. germany is also being very active. they announce to the construction of new and g terminal swim, or liquefied gas and the u. s. as are,

so all this political way behind europe's diversification strategy. now in addition to securing more warnings for the next 2 years, the issue really depressing issue is to push down price is not ahead of next winter. ok really, but they're looking for on live in brussels. we appreciate your time. thank you. a call to me and mark has sentenced to ousted leader. i'm son sue cheese 23 years jail for electro fraud in 2020. the military rulers say they found evidence of at least 11000000 cases of both forward in the election that su, cheese party, one independent observers, did not find any major irregularities what she's already been jailed for 17 years on separate charges including correction. monster hunter has also child britton's former ambassador to the country for one year over visa breach,

a fight for survival. within a few days, residents built a wall of mud and sandbags around their town to keep the water out. i've got to get anybody to do some more water comes, then there will be a threat. but for now, the waterfall stopped it. if at some point there is another breach, that would be a risk, but for now, the city is safe, but it was an optimism in the face of mounting odds part of the job. but some of the cities, residents blame the local government for being slow to act was put into that. there's a lot of confusion here. they only want us to leave when there was a breach. they should have warned people sooner. they're telling us at a time when people can't go anywhere, the roads have already been blocked. look at close the waters, come look at close, the waters come without a fear of even more flooding has forced some to walk out where they can and where it is too deep search and rescue operations are also underway,

the government has commissioned a new warship. the ins of the crowns is the country's 1st domestically built aircraft carrier. india is seen to be strengthening its naval fleet in response to china's growing military presence in the region. happening to todd reports from the delhi. this is the 1st aircraft carrier to be made in india, the ion as the grant, whose name is the sanskrit word, book, powerful or courageous. after 17 years of construction and death, the warship joined the navy with great pomp and ceremony. i had this on this from today, india joins the countries that have been such large aircraft carriers with indigenous technology from offshore petrol, waco's submarines to aircraft carriers. the indian navies bar is increasing at a rapid pace. this will further strengthen our navy in the future. this is india, 2nd aircraft carrier to be put to see in

a significant expansion of its naval presence. it's also its biggest vessel. it can carry 1600 crew members and 30 aircraft. it costs more than $2.00 and a half $1000000000.00. most components came from local vendors, bringing huge capability to india and in the navy and project bon, dominate an area, show presidents, require manager in assistant and disaster leaving the body to your notion. gives the ability to monitor all of the see lines of communication. this deployment comes as china is rapidly expanding its military presence in indian waters. this military service ship recently docked and she lanka, despite india expressing concerns the vessel could track its missiles. china has also commissioned its own domestically built aircraft carrier, bigger and more powerful than be crowned experts say india has

a long way to go before it can match china's military capabilities. india looks upon the indian ocean region as its own backyard. and the chinese are very rapidly moving into the, into the ocean. so the carrier that has now been machine today and will be operational probably by the end of next year, 2023. i in the navy hopes to count good chinese aggression in this area. the navy says it wants to start building another warship. this would be bigger than be cramped and more powerful to counter china's growing might park when you met that, al jazeera, you deli, let's bring in. i shook law. he's a former indian army colonel and joins us now from the deli via zoom. thanks for being with us, sir. how much of a statement is this new aircraft carrier? oh, well, i think it is going to be on the stage. it, it now need to start creating real capabilities. and, you know, china,

the incentive of caught up, you know, we talk in terms of, in the rest of the work pretty much in terms of getting one or 2 major warships ready in the dahlia yard in china. as at this point in time to the destroyers it various stages of construction. so, you know, india is very much in the role of catch up right now for this was one step taken, but it was just a small step and it still would have to work very odd to try and get it numbers up . and with that catch up, as you say, to what extent does this play into india's concerns over china's influence? for example, oh, well, china is the, it's sort of doing regular patrols in to the indian ocean. there was a sort of unspoken assumption amongst,
