heavy falls of rain, particularly for west javert providence. on monday, after china we go still talking about that called stab. some shower is falling between the gangs in the pearl river valley. but most of that energy out over the waters who were seen some downpours for japan's re yoko islands in time for the mainland of japan, main island of han. she'll look at their drop in temperatures for tokyo. there's been snow storm warnings for that western side of her kado island. we've had our 1st snow of the season in saul south korea, few weeks ahead of schedule, see later. to with sponsored by catchall anyways. aah.

aah! oh you're watching, i'll just eat a reminder of our top stories this. so the security unit tossed with enforcing strict dress codes and iran has stopped operations. the decision to close the so called morality police follows months of antique government protests and violent crackdowns on demonstrations. at least 2 people have died and an anti government processing, southeastern sylvia demonstrates a storm. the government building in swayed up, protest was angry at the government because of rising prices and economic hardship took care has reportedly targeted multiple military sites in northern syria,

controlled by the largely kurdish syrian democratic forces operations in response to an explosion and assemble last month, which took care blames on kurdish fighters. okay, the walk up knockout stage continued sundays. first batch is now underway. it's the raining champions, france up against poland. it's currently one nil to france. funds finished top of their group despite losing their last game against tramecia. poland was 2nd to their group behind argentina. i'm going to find out her funds are reacting to this match casio lopez or the an is that the suit walketh in the whole door. her 1st we're going to go to bernard smith in paris barrett, i would imagine people there are pretty happy at the moment. a lot came right out to the start of the 2nd off with us slightly know whether high

the pressure on bowl and the fun say after that goal. by hearing just before the start, just pull the end of the 1st not as calm people down that less nervous in front of the 2nd up. really mining on the pressure mining on the front hoping to make or to final in 5 will be heading that way at the moment, but the shadow, living of the euros last year when they went out to switzerland. penalty having been free while with 10 minutes ago. before the end, before the 19 minutes were off fronts, what complacent men conscious about 10 of that plays who were in deep rest, without getting much to it, i didn't go all they've learned the lessons learned about the message from the french to be. they don't get complacent, wasn't bounce off and not why would it still of wouldn't this one goal, bernard, thank you very much. indeed. donna smith talking to us from past we're going to

head to see walker. now, katya lopez are the and he's been soaking up the atmosphere. they are cutting out that is where many of the funds usually meet prior to going out to the matches that are being held here and do what sort of being like their gas. right. if i had to describe the obvious here today and also for the last few days, it would be more of an ongoing party and celebration, but a lot of fans cheering. this is where they gathered up, meet up with other fans and how to talk about what strategy co just need to take what techniques and what needs to happen for them to win and go to the next days. now we do see that this is the place where the celebrations happened before a match. but right now i think a lot of people are shipping instead of cheers and celebrations, they're analyzing more about the coaches. what needs to happen? because now in the knockout stage, it's do or die. so we do see that when we're talking to fans of horse bands who are watching by the match with fans and pulling are there directly in the stadium. but

other fans for england and synagogue, you're talking with them before just a few minutes ago. and they don't want to talk because they're rushing to the game . they're rushing to the stadium. can tell that they're a bit more nervous now that things are getting a bit more serious, especially because if we have anything so far these last few weeks here in the world cup, is that the one factor that keeps on coming up over and over again as a factor of unpredictability, and that's definitely playing out here in the walk. if the vibe is very calm, very friendly. you see a lot of fab, i enjoying a meal and join tea and coffee. you also see the universal aspects of the world cup . a lot of the fast now, unfortunately they're team but out of the tournament. so they're also focusing on what team now they're going to support and what team based support now that they are some of them, unfortunately heading back home. so, but definitely is that a mix of joy celebration mix them with

a bit of anxiety and nervousness. yeah. may be fairly quiet at the moment. let's give it a couple of hours and just see how noisy this is. walk. it gets cut lopez already. i'm talking to from there. thank you very much. indeed. doctors in the brazilian city of south paulo, say football star tele is in a stable condition. it was reported in saturday, been moved to a so called end of life care facility to be coming in from across the world among them england, captain harvey kane, who says pelias advice to him as a young striker, had a huge impact on his career. we send best wishes to him and, and he always is found as well. and yeah, inspiration amongst our game, you know, incredible, incredible person. and yet to hear those was back then phone from him was, was really special for me. and i always feel like i'm someone who is always learning and will continue to learn for, for the rest of my career. so he was, he was spot on with with he had fi,

so yeah. sad to hear that news, but yeah, we wish him well, or monica in that he has is joining us live from outside the hospital in south harlow. where pelley is being treated? monica? as we were just hearing, a lot of fans, lot of players are from around the world, sending palo, their very best wishes. what's the latest about at his condition? well the medical bulletin, the last one that we had was the one that was from yesterday last night since he is not a politician's his since he is not a public figure in that sense the hospital does not have a morning and an afternoon medical bulletin. as they would if he were a president or, or a minister or somebody like that. so they only give out information when the family requests. so, and the last thing that the family had asked for was the bulletin that was issued

last night. and it said that he is responding to treatment ah, to an him for an infection in his lungs. now it, it had the bulletin says nothing about the cancer which he has and which has spread, ah, all the press here in brazil, there are, there are standing in front of the hospital at the other door, not the one where i am right now. this is where the fans were just until 5 minutes ago. there were lighting candles. ah, they came in buses from santos, the. his home town, the place where the suntrust team on his team was and where he started his career. they. they've been putting up all posters saying long live the king, but as known as the king of football, at least here in brazil, where they say that he and, and fans were here saying that football awe of his times, his football is not the same as is being played now that he had everything he that

made the ball a magic ball. so everybody hears praying for him and they know that the situation is difficult. although on his social media he has said that he is feeling strong and that he has thank everybody for sharing him and for holding up his spirits. monica, you're not here talking to us from so paula monica. thank you. was south african president to settle drama. jose is planning to go to the constitutional court to challenge a report that found he may have violated his oath of office. an independent panel investigate his arm oppose him after we failed to report the fact of millions of dollars from his gain farm in 2020. the governing african national congress is discussing the matter on sunday. i'm opposed to says he's not been taking part in that meeting, and he's also refused to step down. it's always best when a matter that affects a person personality should be discussed in the absence. so that's precisely

what has led to my resume to enable members of the national working committee to have a 3rd going discussion on the report without my presence, without rather me be there so that they are free to express themselves as openly and thoroughly as possible without any form of fear or favor muhammad jammah. jim has more from johannesburg on this, the 1st of 2 consecutive days of meetings by governing african national congress party leaders to try and figure out how to move forward with this political crisis that has been surrounding presidents or, or i'm opposed. you certainly would know from the mood on the streets here in johannesburg that the situation is extremely dire for the president, but in fact, it is now we found out on saturday that president rama plaza is not going to resign

. that he is not going to step aside as party leader of the agency and that he attends to mount a legal challenge to this report by an independent panel that found that he may have committed misconduct in office a while serving as president. this is a scandal that has gotten worse and worse for president, rama poser, over the course of the past few weeks and a right now. it's a critical juncture for the president on tuesday. the national assembly, parliament is going to be meeting to take up the matter. there may be a vote put forward as to whether or not an impeachment inquiry a formal impeachment inquiry will be happening in parliament. but again, we found out from the presidential spokesperson that in fact, president obama jose is going to fight that he is not going to step aside. he is not going to resign, still leaves a lot of questions at a time when the situation for him is politically dire and when just a few days ago, many here expected that he would resign. the white house has criticized former president donald trump for suggesting parts of the constitution should be thrown

out in a social media post on saturday. trump said the 2020 election result should be overturned, that he should be reinstalled as president. the bible ministration says the constitution is sacrosanct and document and trumps comments should be universally condemned. idaho castros in washington, d. c. and she says the latest outburst from trump is likely to prompt strong reactions from within the republican party. this is extraordinary that a former us president would publicly state this, given that the oath of office he's taken is to protect the us constitution. and to so publicly post this on his truth social platform. he is calling for the 2020 elections, which he lost to be overturned for him to be reinstalled. and he goes on to say that a massive fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles. even those found in the constitution. so of course,

the world at this point is used to these bombastic statements coming from former president trump. but this, perhaps is considered to cross a new line given and such high esteem that the us constitution is held. but this is just the latest in a series of actions that trump has taken of late since he announced that he wants to run a 3rd time to be president in which he's moved closer to extremism in meeting with anti semites at mar lago. and in also stating that he would pardon the rioters, his supporters who stormed the u. s. capital on january 6th. if he is elected back to the white house, the republican leaders have been reacting to trump moved toward extremism with concern, hoping that he would not take these measures given that the party performed in a way that was underwhelming the last mid term elections. but trump, as typical,

has not taken that advice and seems rather to be doubling down on this rhetoric of claiming that the election was stolen. now, calling for the termination of the us constitution, the chinese astronauts have touched on an earth after spending 6 months in space. the group landed in the gobi desert and china on sunday. they helped complete the construction of the chunk gong space station. 3 other astronauts arrived at the station on wednesday. the structure is part of china's plans to have a permanent human presence in space. ah, this is audra 0. these are the top stories. the security unit test with enforcing strict dress codes and iran a stopped operations. the decision to close the so called morality police follows nearly 3 months of anti government protests and violent crackdowns on demonstrations. these 2 people have died and an anti government protest in southeastern, so.
