battling militants from so-called islamic state after they attacked a prison holding hundreds of their members a gun battle broke out on sunday night after the militants targeted the prison entrance with a suicide car bombing at least 20 people have been killed dozens more have been wounded in this ongoing fighting the attack comes after afghan special forces killed a senior islamic state commander. for the very latest let's bring in correspondent ali latif he now in the capital ali can you tell us what's the latest on the situation in jalalabad. so the city is essentially under lockdown because that's hack is still ongoing the fighters have also taken up arms in a nearby shopping plaza which has created much more danger for the people and as i've said repeatedly the thing we have to remember about attacks on a city like jalalabad is that it's so small and so overcrowded so densely populated

that it's not somewhere like kabul where you know if an attack happens on one area of the city you can obviously all have personal issues and personal grief but to security threats you know if you're on another side of the city it is relatively minimal in a city like jello barbara there are so many few main roads leading so few main roads leading to you know major area government buildings shopping centers bodyguards things like that you know an attack on one area of the city really has an impact on the rez you know obviously because inmates flat you know of these 2000 have been recaptured there's no word on exactly how many are still left at large and also because of the nature of the ongoing attack more than 16 hours that's why the city had to be put on lockdown ok can you fill us in on the background to this attack it comes after afghan special forces killed and i commander is there more to

it than that. i mean that the most important thing about that attack is that yes they killed the commander in recently they've named a new you know the leader of the so-called forces in of on this on hand in the region. but definitely the thing that people keep going back to is that you know last year and november the president went in there are and said that they had essentially eliminated all of the diets forces and honest on that day she was on the run and that they couldn't stage any more major attacks and you know this is proof that that did not pan out and ok let's act previously were there last year yeah yeah no when you say they're sure just want to say for our viewers that is islamic state not to be confused with the dollar bond in afghanistan which is also a formidable antigovernment of force what does this mean for the situation of the taleban on one hand are they in competition now with islamic state.

so they they have that there has been a battle between the 2 ever since you know these fighters claiming to be part of the so-called islamic state emerged in afghanistan in 20142015 there has been a fierce competition a fierce battle between the 2 despite what you know some people might say they actually have a great just like for one another and are actively trying to push one out of each other's territory and so in terms of the peace process it complicates things because so you can make a peace with the taliban but what happens with these fighters who are they were they responsible to what do they want you know with the taliban at least you know that they claim to be fighting a foreign occupation with these fighters claiming to be part so called islamic state you don't actually know what they want and as i said you know there have been reports of their destruction of their limitation and yet they still continue to be

able to stage attacks so there's a lot of questions about the nature of this organization and should and all that they want to thanks very much for those insights from kabul to the well 2 american astronauts have made a landmark splash down as the 1st commercial crewed mission to the international space station returned to earth it was also the 1st landing office type after u.s. space mission since 1975 space x. and nasa are celebrating the success of the mission. as we're now just about 20 meters off the ocean this is the moment when spy 6 probably went when no company has gone before. lashed out. as you can feel on your screen we have visual confirmation for smack down the firm's landing capsule glides into the gulf of mexico in the control room but through taim from space x. and nasa the u.s. space agency that contract it for this mission is pretty much complete so. even

after the landing the danger wasn't over the dragon capsule weighs over 12000 kilo as docking it and extracting the 2 astronauts inside a delicate endeavor teams currently working with the private vessels no one it's by 6 saw this coming out several sightseeing by its approaching the cap show with a gushing propellant few the pleasure boats were ordered to leave the area immediately. there we can see the lift. in the end the dragon made it to shore of the water and we have our 1st view and astronauts doug hurley and bob behnken emerged planet. with a huge thumbs up and an optimistic message for the u.s. and the. moment just. given all the things that happened

here thinking on the left early on the right mission accomplished by 6 and nasa who pioneered public private partnerships in out of spice. and i think we're both super super proud to have been just a small part of the team accomplished. space flights back to the florida coast and bringing our capability back to america it's also a personal triumph a spy 6 found in a lawn musk public controversies had begun to overshadow his recent business successes. and i'm not very religious but i prayed for this one. very few but here it is. space x. is next mission is planned for september and the firm is hoping it will launch space tourists into orbit next year. because of a separation for $35.00 pm pacific its goal dominating a new age of commercial space travel nationals one in which competition between the companies creates innovation and progress. earlier we spoke with nasa

watches keith cowing who explained why this mission was so significant well it's interesting because the idea of putting humans in a capsule and launching him into space and then having them splash down into water isn't necessarily nude sifton as was new to new piece we haven't done it here in the states in 45 years we've ridden on cruise line and soviet space russian spacecraft and before that soviet space and they only know only and so we haven't had a chance to do this in a long time but def stage here and more important things that the spacecraft wasn't a government spacecraft it was bought by the government now the service is run what by the government under a commercial contract with space x. they also have one with boeing so instead of the 10 trend over the past half a century of only flying people into space and govern their own spacecraft now are buying tickets and that she has the chance of going further than just you know

professional astronauts maybe commercial asked months and maybe someday you are not let's get your break down some of the other stories making the news today tropical storm they say yes has started florida and is moving north off the states a lot of coast that's after it dumped friend from rains on the bahamas forecasters say the storm is likely to intensify to near hurricane strength as it approaches the carolinas where it is expected to make landfall. it's the 1st full day of a new lockdown for australia's 2nd biggest city melbourne tougher measures including a nightly curfew are in place for the next 6 weeks the state of victoria of which melbourne is the capital declared a state of disaster sunday after a spike in covert cases. in india the race to develop a vaccine against the coronavirus has become embroiled in politics with the world's 3rd worst fatality rate in this pandemic anya's politicians are promising quick

results but there are concerns now that politicians and scientists are making false promises. with more than 50000 new called cases every day india is rapidly approaching the 2000000 mark. yet india has entered its unlocked even restrictions . the rise in numbers and the threat of another serious lockdown has people who heard it but indian researchers are hard at work trying to find an answer in the form of a vaccine one. thing should improve its. it would also give us consolation on many fronts. we're shooting for things would be better at least. you would be that scared walking out in public and maybe you won't have to made the mosque or the time in july to indian vaccine candidates initiated peace one human trials. this

will be at the midst spread over a dozen sites the indian government says it feels it has a moral imperative to develop the vaccine and many major indian pharmaceutical brands are eager to oblige. 60 percent of the vaccine supply in the world whether it be africa europe or. anywhere of indian origin india is. perceived and is an important player in the vaccines for supply for the world this pressure however took a political toll in india top medical research body in a letter to trial sites said that the trials should be expedited to have the vaccine ready to launch by mid august this raised serious concerns on whether these extraordinarily expedited trials will be safe and ethical the move was seen by critics as the indian prime minister to make a dramatic announcement in his independence day speech on aug 15th are rallying on

a cry that india can be self-reliant. but after pressure from medical community the government already clarified that no compromises would be made on safety and that the deadline was simply to expedite the trials and. in geology the researchers say that it could take close to a year for the 1st 2 phases of the indian vaccine trials to be completed and so far there's been no words here it's gone for some sort of up and down up and psycho. earliest any rexy mistake then there's a few years at byron hurt many wrecks in. which promises. are to be cycling being ready for public use. but with close to a 5th of the world's population of india is seen as crucial to test the efficacy of any call that vaccine the rapidly rising burden of the disease and the intent to be self-reliant raises the stakes even further. let's get more on this now with the

w.'s the me said just fall in to them asia is india in a position to win the race for a covert 19 vaccine i grant even though there's no definite shortage of moblin this definitely wants to as we mentioned that are blocked in the indian government as well documented and he said india has a moral duty to provide this back. east has to benefit because of its massive manufacturing capacity as well as the massive research the past it's already gotten into we also have a prime minister sulu also just i'm demi and was managing that in doubt must be censored i and i got to see it but it could take as long as the fluff what you can 2nd what did up next you have to finish just the plus 2 previous of the trials that have stopped it in your last month or so even though it has rendered results i have

needed and it was quickly as once ok regardless of the deadline the time and whether india wins will india in the future when it comes to a final vaccine be one of the main providers of that drug. well that is definitely a civil action actually grant just leave last minute on sunday india as job approval or actually give shula poulos for the these 2 when these 2 trials of the vaccine by a vaccine manufacturers which happens to be the largest in the world and even if they look beyond this yes manufacturing of research capacities just the size of the population thinks it an important accompli china has given up any of the important look at that scene and idiots that are in the front of of this vaccine development not wanting fast tracking development as it has been found in vaccines that happen i think you should indeed no archive not book as well perhaps in talk to time

that's another reason why india and china and india can't bitch ok india of course is a number 3 casualties and fatalities are right now and nonetheless it's decided to relax its pandemic guidelines what's behind most the government in india brian has continued to the costs are and then again especially what it was it's are not for users to emphasize that people have to learn to live the virus and we cannot slow down the economy but any longer and that the must force on the head as let's get precautions are not in sight and even though the burden of the disease is rising just quickly and likely to cost the 2000000 mopp this need in does also emphasizing the fact that the property is just very high it's well up $65.00 plus and already as of today and in cities such as debbie it's actually about 75 percent mortality on the other hand it's housing a little wooden reports and so this is what is making it to believe that it can

manage the next mischa thanks so much for that from going. let's get you briefed down some of the other stories making in the news at this hour the president of the philippines or go to terre days reimposing a lockdown in the capital manila and its surrounding provinces health workers called for the move following a surge in corona virus infections stricter restrictions will be in place for 2 weeks beginning tuesday affecting about a quarter of the country's population. soft says talks are continuing with the chinese tech company bite danced by the u.s. operations of that video app tick-tock this follows a meeting between microsoft and the us president donald trump u.s. president has threatened to ban the app citing national security concerns. here in berlin a huge protest on saturday against pandemic restrictions has ignited

a debate about the limits that can be placed on the right to public assembly the german minister for justice has affirmed that right but she also underscored that rules like wearing masks must be observed but it is exactly those laws that the estimated $20000.00 protesters reject will talk about why after this report. some today's protest in berlin against the rules to fight the coronavirus demonstrators failed to keep their distance from each other and they didn't wear masks either politicians are i'm drenched. these are. on the one hand they're exercising their right to protest but there are rules which they disregard their behavior is playing with people's lives you leave them on a mention in freedom and responsibility go hand in hand there's the freedom to exercise one's right to demonstrate but also a responsibility to abide by the rules and instead of

a relaxation of the restrictions that vary in state premier mike was into would rather see a tougher enforcement by authorities to fight the virus if a policeman people who come from risk areas and don't take it coronavirus test or refuse to take one along with those who deliberately violate the measures must face a fine otherwise all of this makes little sense. doesn't factions rise in germany the best way to deal with the pandemic looks set to cause further debate. and that debate very much in the headlines this morning i'm talking about that now with our political correspondent manual che's good morning to you a man you all observers were taken back by the size of this demonstration about 20000 people going to the police what is it that the protesters reject and why does protestants had one thing in common doubt that up is a restoration. restoration measures and they're also very angry that for example

they have to wear a mask if you look up profits as we saw in the report the ones wearing any mosques they were in the respect and social distancing no about the protesters themselves what's quite interesting to see is that they come from different posture you could see the end to back some of mantra presented you could see people from the far right and you can also see people not they don't need to any of those categories just being read about what's happening right now they feel their fundamental rights are being trampled ok we saw some of the political response you know our report can you tell us more about that well for example has mr yen sponsored of course those people how does right process but not of the cost of other people's heads and organizers actually have been arrested. will be prosecuted by the auto it is for not having respected hygiene measures for example but those are like you say to those out of measures that protest against ok you made the

point from the health minister saying you know people have to be careful of what they do because of respect for the health of other people so it's a logical argument nonetheless politicians have failed to make this case among others with a significant part of the population what's gone wrong well i think you have to keep in mind that germany hasn't been hit by the pandemic as hard as the neighboring countries so i think perhaps there's a part of the population that face to see the seriousness of the pandemic because they don't know someone who has been affected by it they don't they haven't seen a state of savagery emergency here in germany so perhaps the authorities haven't communicated communicated that enough though so you have to keep in mind that the majority of germ of the germans to supposed to government's handling of that pandemic ok you know schools are reopening this week in one german state other states are going. follow next week what are the guidelines for schools reopening

well the region the fall from around the globe be a rentes for the rest of germany 150000 children we go back to school and the plan is to render the experience as normal as possible that means 4 to 5 teaching hours daily children want to have to wear a mosque this is not compulsory however grades so school years will be organized in such a way down to one to outsource to stay together so one school could be quarantined should one be infected and not the whole school and teachers as well we have a possibility to be tested for free ok everyone looking at this state to see if they if they get that balance right between the needs of the children and the health concerns of course as well emanuel thanks very much thank you it's to italy now where a new bridge is to be inaugurated in january the general was replacing a structure that collapsed years ago killing dozens of people crews worked around

the clock to complete the son george you know it's due to open to traffic later this week. a beacon of hope rising from the depths of tragedy this leak we structure now stands in place in general as in this randy bridge almost 2 years ago to the day 43 people were killed when a section of the bridge collapsed sending big plummeting on to the riverbed below this is my ok name a chance to live down to the bridge most apollo life her home had to be demolished on to the collapse. she still remembers the crack of the concrete crashing to the ground. but i financed it will be still a police complaint i'm a big i opened the window and saw that bridge had vanished that i saw those 2 large lorries one white and one red right next to my house and in that moment a wave of anger washed over me because i knew those few calls for caution is. made

on. the scale of the disaster made the new construction a matter of national importance designed by general born star architect renzo piano the 1000 metre long span was completed in just over a year where continue day and night even during the worst of italy's coronavirus crisis its success is considered a model for the rest of italy. it was such a tragedy such a terrible scene but to do the work in one here and so fine. shaw. from there also we can do anyway very good things but to the relatives who lost loved ones the new branch is no cause for celebration a group of 30 sister brother in or and their 2 children were killed in the disaster she says the effort put into the construction is

a fresh source of pain if each. leg only it is tough to see the joy surrounding this construction. we would have been happy if this huge project was john earlier the old bridge should have been demolished before our families were destroyed pre-marketing goes for a family to force or at least through. a criminal investigations underway after poor maintenance was blamed for the disaster the egg lay this was a national scandal one new construction alone went to fix the new bridge can't heal the wounds of those who lost loved ones but it is a powerful step towards piecing together a city torn apart by tragedy it quite literally reconnect east with west and offers this community a sign of hope and regeneration. like. i like it it's quite simple and light. never forget that day but hopes the new bridge

will represent a fresh start for genoa. and i feel that this is a wound which will stay with us there always comes a moment when you need to move on to live in the present and accept the past this is the present producing it. we have some sports now in formula one britain's lewis hamilton claimed victory in his homegrown prix and silverstone and did so in some extraordinary circumstances. after dominating the race from pole position how milton's left tire was punctured in the final lap a left him to limp home for the 87 factory of his career. he's just 4 short of michelle schumacher record red bulls mox for stopping finished 2nd ferrari's charlotte clare taking the. this is the news let's get your minder now of our top story afghan forces are battling militants of
