stand down in 2018. that's bringing t w correspondent christine manidez. he joins us from cape town. christine, this is a huge story for south africa. what's been the reaction in the country so far? yeah, huge is probably an understatement. this is massive. basically, people are celebrating the message that people are taking to support the threat. nobody is about the overwhelming majority of those judges. 9 out of nathan was handed down this judgment that prison jacobs luma should go to court. it's been for a his to jail. it has been court and his story day for the country because this is a country where people get the sense that the political needs, the ruling costs, are above the law that the law that applies to everybody else does not apply to them. and so it has some time to see just so on, on social media, people are reacting in support of the state. they feel vindicated,

that the courts do work as you, right. you said prison jacobs luma. had been on to come before that corruption inquiry and answer negation of corruption and he refused to do so. this was often he failed to be in the demise. basically the, the crime scene broke, the boys insisted that this is political, but he was unsuccessful. in that and of course the commission then went to the high school in the country and said he isn't support and something should be done. people watched him walk out of the commission, refusing to take questions, and they're ready for that as to the justice system. so people are really, really happy about the fact that the constitutional court has today taken the decision that president jacob must, should go to jail to being. and so what happens next? will he go to prison immediately straight away? while the constitutional court has given him 5 days to present himself to a police station, prison, as we understand,

the former prisoner is in his homestead in guns that is in the closet. and that's how presence he has been given 5 days to present himself on failure. to do so, the country police minister and the police commission, i have been instructed that you should. they should then make sure that he is behind was within the 3 days we've heard probably person that would probably be shot at today's ruling. and we know that open nights get hard there were people camped outside of bedrooms in pleasant and it's how basically funding and saying nobody is allowed to touch him. but even they are not above the law. and if he does not present himself within those 5 days, the police commissioner anthony's minister will have to go and pick him up one day and present him to prison. correspondent was seen mon, but in cape town. thank you for seeing the stay in africa. the government, any c o, p on, has declared a short sci fi and it's to grow region after 8 months of deadly conflict. it forces

us to have left the regions capital michel, a along with members of the governments regional administration. the i was former rule of se, then i'll back in control. thousands have been killed since fighting broke out last november, more than 2000000 people have been displaced in the region, and there are hundreds of thousands facing starvation. and joining me now from london is a mountain cloud. he's a journalist, specializing in the horn of africa, and also of understanding eritrea. thanks for your time. up to grand rebel forces, say they have retaken the capital. how significant is this? especially for the people of people who are oh, it's quite extraordinary. i mean, it is a complete reversal of fortune. 8 months ago, they were driven out of the city of mckayla, which is their regional capital. you rightly pointed out,

and they were completely broken. the they were attacked by the army, by the army, by somali troops, and by the power of militia. and they were driven out of mckellar and had to retreat into the mountain and what appeared to be a complete the spent force who would not only be able to mount a small gorilla operation if they continue fighting. they have regrouped reorganized, and 10 days ago they lotion offensive, which have frankly driven the enemies out of 2 great, almost entirely. i mean, most of the major towns are now in their hands. they were pictures of people celebrating in mikella, the ethiopian military center plains, into mckellar, and literally took all the money out of the banks prior to the city forward. so there's no doubt that it has fallen. ready united nation to that with looting of their computers. it's an extraordinary turnaround. so would you consider this

a real turning point in this conflict? absolutely, there is no doubt about it whatsoever. the one thing that one has to say, and you pointed out the terrible simon, that is now been induced in this area because the 1st battle happened at august time, you weren't able to harvest, they were driven from their farms and they've the block it, there's been a blockade by ethiopian an error channel forces preventing aid getting into the region. and as a result, there are something like, according to us, say id the on 900000 people on the edge of starvation. so this couldn't have come a moment too soon. and the question knowledge will be easier because they are trans, open their ports, open their roads, and allow the a to fluid briefly have a look at the politics, see a prime minister often. and he took office pledging reconciliation and then he attacked take or what does this turning point?

this is so i mean for him and his standing well, it's a huge blow for his reputation. he's probably just one of the election. we don't know the results yet, but the to come, but he's probably just one election. but that having put him, put him in a terrible position because he and proven to sauce of arrow trail launched this campaign against the 2 grand would turn to break them. and effect this is they are now in lock step together. we just don't know what the result will be for their longer term, surviving that especially because our trend have lost thousands upon thousands of troops in this battle. how will the army react? we just don't know massive plant. thank you very much for your time. that's now take a look at some of the other stories making headlines. at this hour philippine president rodrigo detach. it says he is open to running for vice president next year. when his current term ends under the constitution,

philippine presidents are only allowed a single 6 year term, but they are able to run for lower positions. opponents have called the prospect a joke. and the iraqis have held a symbolic funeral and backed out for members of the popular mobilization forces or pm if were killed by u. s. air strikes on monday, the strikes on the iraq syria border targeted malicious that are supported by iran . they were in response to a reason space of attacks against us military assets and iraq. both of western canada recorded the hottest day ever on monday, with temperatures in much of british columbia. sewing past 46 degrees celsius for further south on the us west coast. seattle red registered its 2nd consecutive day of re cold temperatures. experts, one such extreme weather is likely to become more common due to global warming.

torrential rains in part of southern and west in germany have cause severe flooding in some areas. some villages in the states of the very and hasn't completely submerged emergency services have been responding to accidents and calls for help pumping water out of shops and apartment buildings. rising corona virus case is linked to the delta vary and causing concern in europe. travel around the continent is again limited by restrictions in some places just weeks off. the measures where east and portugal visitors have been cutting short their holidays dealing afresh. press blow to those whose livelihood depend on tourism. this jelly has been operating here in lisbon for more than a 100 years. the shop survived the last major global pandemic. the spanish flew its owner. jose bronco isn't easily shocked, but he is worried to i was born. lisbon is very dependent on tourism.

a large part of our business comes from this sector. lots of those tourists come from germany, but with the delta corona virus very and spreading in lisbon and the l. gov. germany has now classified portugal as a virus variant area, even though cases remain low in some places. if you look at payroll in austria, only certain regions were restricted, but now all of portugal is being held responsible. that doesn't make any sense to anybody traveling from portugal to germany must now quarantine for 2 weeks, including people who are fully vaccinated. monday was the last day to leave before the new rules came into effect. i'm happy that we're going home today. it was just by chance. we booked for today, but we're on the safe side and won't have any problems. getting back to germany. i think it's good that they've reacted in and people coming back have to quarantine for 2 weeks, but the down for variant will spread anyway. if you go out, i was fewer holidaymakers will hit the tourism industry hot just when it was

starting up again. but back at the deli, jose bronco remains optimistic. chavez board as close and then open again. that's the pandemic cycle, but everything will get back to normal. the local certainly hope so. and so do the tourists. i'm not joined. correspondent young phillips shows in other farrah town on the gulf coast in the south of portugal, very popular with tourists and phillips. the life of many people in portugal depend on tourism. the country had been opening up. how are they dealing with this now? well people are shocked especially year in the holiday resorts off i'd say it out last year was already the worst summer season since the early eighty's and people were waiting for the famous lights at the end of the tunnel, of course, meaning for a more or less normal holiday season again, but this hope is destroyed. now of course, the germans are the most important group of holiday makers together with the

bridges and the okay has also introduce strict measures already for return nice from portugal and local. say that business just wants to buy another thomas even like that. so was it like that now for, for the tourists caught up in this? well, the german tourists have left already, at least the majority of them. i talked to management in the morning and you said that's not german tourists had left the town probably only very few remaining. there were a lot a lot minute the parts and the worst for a lot of for a lot of which house here is that there are also a lot of cancellations. of course. now for the coming weeks for the peak, actually out of the holiday season. for the wires,

portugal been hit so hard by this a delta very and well, a lot of experts say that it has to do with effect. that part so got lead in bridges, tourists with our direct rules at a time when the does have very and was already reading in the u. k. they say this is one of the main reasons. low cost also blame the government that they allows the template final here some weeks ago mentioned that city again. chelsea with thousands of british trends. but of course those are all assumptions. nobody can say for sure what caused the search in the very case this year, for sure is that the country is struggling very hard at the moment and it almost seems like a desire for me. i was here during christmas holidays when, when portugal was opening up again to international tourists and a few weeks later,

the very end started to spread in the country. philip shots and all the sarah portugal. thank you very much. thank you. many southeast asian nations have been slow to inoculate their populations against cope with 19, especially when compared to europe and north america. some suggest this is because of their initial success at containing the virus over another reason is vaccine skepticism hong kong, as want her to now offering incentives to try to convince people to get back and aged. this lottery has a prize. few in hong kong can pass up real estate. nearly half a 1000000 people signed up on the 1st day. the grand prize, a one bedroom condo, the catch, you can only when, if you're vaccinated. the apartment lottery can motivate more people to get vaccinated. it might not be too helpful, but it can provide, hoping still not everyone is swayed by the sky high jackpot.

that's not really for me model. if i'm fit to be vaccinated, i would do so more than what i suffer from high blood pressure, like glucose level and blood lifted level, my doctor advised me not to be vaccinated. mila others, though, are now rushing to schedule their japs and taste by a slew of new incentives, cash gold bars. even cars offered by private companies, eager to get the economy moving again, all with the backing of the government for much money. so we all share a common goal and restore normality to hong kong possible by boosting the vaccination rate so that every industry can do more business on high go hong kong dealer. but hong kong slow vaccination rate is not due to lack of supply.

hundreds of thousands of unused by on tech doses may be destroyed if they don't enter arms by august. so what's behind vaccine hesitancy in the city? there's the fear of side effects and government mis trust. but nearly 600000 people have been vaccinated in the last 2 weeks. as dreams of winning, big turn, heads and change minds. the one of the grades rivalries in football enters it's next chapter to night when england host germany at wembley. in the last 16 of the european championships, germany have mostly come out on top of these tournament. clashes is one exception that goes way back. that was when england won the world, compet wembley in 1966. since then, germany have one, every major, no comp match between the 2 countries. the teen arriving in london had been choked

up last, a win and a drawer to get through the stage. $40000.00 fans are expected for the massive wendy stadium. that's despite the rising current of those cases in the united kingdom, the majority of the crowd will of course be support in england. but germany don't see the way trip has any kind of disadvantage wembley stadium steeped in history and the spiritual home of the english for player the atmosphere can be electric. the crowds also have a tendency to panic when things aren't going so smoothly it should be advantage england's n garrett. south case, the germany know better the most that wimbley can be conquered. they be england here on their way to winning the euros in 1996. and now they want to use the hostile crowd to their benefits. this emma is in my guy than you who to me

diagonal fence always awesome at the stadium is crowded with your own fan and that's gone, but it's almost just as awesome when the whole stadium is against you. life and you can reach your maximum performance and silence the opposition of support and foster mat. l m does is it's on the, on support. the united kingdom has seen a state rise in current of ours cases in the past week due to the delta variance. but that hasn't stopped plan to host about $40000.00 fin on tuesday evening at wembley. it's certainly not an ideal situation. so some of the players function guns that even the jetty sans again. and borderline, if i'm on us 240000 fans in the stadium, in the only country in europe, where currently the incident is right, is above average. that doesn't make things safer for us on the cell. it's nick. nick younger, fairly shot on this is the bar from optimal. when you look at the big picture, just because i'm busied us has been determined for as many fans as possible to attend matches at the fuse european championship. the show as always, must go on and i'm not joined by the w one in charlotte shells until at wembley

stadium in london. and here the city where the w sports reporter genic spate. but we go to london 1st. charlotte, how big of a deal is this match for the english fans? god in the hearts and minds of english friends that isn't a much bigger rivalry than this is i'm sure you can imagine it's on this for this game is on the front page of many of the newspapers here. i've just got one of them in front of me a night made for heroes. it declares showing some of the england players and those who follow this rivalry very closely might be struck by the fact that this particular newspaper has managed to avoid send world war references out the rhetoric that often has come up in the past during these games. although i will say it has mentions that spread into the newspaper. this is the rival, read the dates back decades and decades. as you mentioned that 966 that was the

last time england won. c the world cup, a few people here will not know that day, of course, beat germany to win since then though a story was considerably more painful, memories is only added to this rivalry. one that's being talked about in particular here is the euro is 996 knots 8 because the current manager of england, garrath southgate, mr. penalty in that games against germany, getting them knocked out of the tournament, other painful penalties, memories as well. so the england team here being quiz don't, whether they've been practicing the penalties. the play as though many of them one born during some of these major pos games that are in blazing into the hearts of england football fan. they're saying very clearly they will be affected by it. they want to create their own history. and hopefully i'm happy memories for that team

coming coming to you. we had a bit of from charlotte there about the rivalry. where does it rank for germany though? look, it is, it is a big game, but to be honest, i think germany has often had bigger fish to fry, such as against the netherlands. they've always had big matches against them, both, both to trade, winds and losses. and even italy, to be honest, was with england. well, germany is always one. since that 966 woke up final. it's been clearly dominated by one side. and so i think that trauma that, that is there for england fans just doesn't really exist for germany, fans, and yes has been historic. and connie questions for sure the penalty the 990-9096 especially. but for me, for proper rivalry to exist, to teams need to be winning, not just one. so hopefully we can change that tonight. pretty one sided at the moment. so england's home advantage on the holy turf of wembley that will that play a role? yes. and clinic ground for sure. and usually you'd think $40000.00 fans would give

them a big advantage. but i think it could go either way. we know from the past to england, the team and the fans can get quite nervous when they're planning a wimbley. and so, you know, if they get nearly go, you could say the crowd getting them over the line, pushing them on. but if they go behind and struggle to create chances, those nerves could come into play about the team, the fans. we could see a whole different scenario, so i really think it could go either way with that home advantage itala, let's change the subject to the delta vary and that is rampaging through britain. right now we've had 40000 fans packed into stadium. is that a good idea? $3000.00 and fans with this game and of course, the semi final, the final wembley is expected to host even more. now the culture secretary here has it very much defended the idea of having as 40000 friends in the stadium. he said the because wait for the friends to be back in wembley going through those 10 style

. he dresses as much has been done as possible for the safety measures. he knows the fact that people friends entering the setting me that have to present the proof of to vaccines all of a negative kind of a test space last as well needs to be worn into areas. but of course, there is a good deal of concern, not just from some in england, but around europe about the number of fans in the stadium, given the rapid rise in cases of the delta barry. and as you mentioned that some european countries in the german chancellor angle, and marco has expressed concern about the number of fans in the stadium and, and urging caution from authorities here because it's all it's health and pill and london's wembley stadium. and john expect from the w sports. thank you both very much. and there was a huge shock at the tournament on tuesday. switzerland reached the quarter finals

after beating well champions france on penalties in bucharest. yon summer saved kelly on them, but pays penalty to send his team through to the next round. france had been 31 up with 15 minutes of normal time, less to play, but this was equalized with too late. goals to force extra time. they will not face spain who recreation $53.00 after extra time, and another 3 la and it was the football providing some shocks and tennis. there were a few upsets on the 1st day of wimbledon. in the menstrual world, number 4 stefan city pass went out in straight sets to america, francis cheerful. it was a 3rd 1st round to feed in for wimbledon visit for 2 to pass. earlier this month he reads the french open final lucy tune of a chunk of h. and in the women's draw a to time champion petra crit, over at the top of your screen. that is also out. she lost to another american player sloan. steven, in straight from the czech republic,
