a corona virus state of emergency biotech finds a seek permission for those of their covert 19 vaccines, thank an additional shop helps boost community. as the delta event becomes dominant around the world. that's all that long cove it is taking on people in india. we'll take a look at what it's like to live with a lingering effect of probably 19 ah, i'm going to has welcome to the program. days after haiti's president was assassinated in his home, police say they have captured the 17 suspects and killed several others. among the rest of the columbia, an ex, military, and to join us haitian, the motive remains unclear, are still searching for more members of the alleged asian citizens,

or also join in the man hops, columbia defense minister, the several retired colombian soldiers were involved in that assassination hello, john, for more of this, i'm a jump professor going to my home from the germany, sued for international security affairs. he's also an expert on latin america and on organized crime for them. i of many of these suspects seem to be columbia, some of them, former military, what are the links between haitian, hey c, haiti and columbia that a lot of different dimensions which come to my mind, especially their truck steel arrangement. and we have seen in the last month and he says haiti has become at central point in the transition routes of trucks to the us and to the european markets. this might be one dimension, but we know as well that the former president had,

especially it's firms and his comic activity is a lot of different connections to latin american countries. so this might be another dimension. ok. so organized crime is likely to have played a role here. would you agree? there could be one point. we must be here that this as a nation could only be managed to local context and locate power holders. so we should see these as mercenaries which have been contracted by other people, and we are not sure up to now who is behind all this and the must expect further investigation. you mentioned the internal situation there in haiti. what can you tell us about the general political outlook at the moment? beyond the situation of power by whom we have now since yesterday,

2 prime ministers who are debating their interests to control the situation. there is no parliament which isn't in sanctioning since one year. they had a president which operated by decree is supreme court president has died recently from cove it. so there is no clear institutional way of with the challenge. and i think that due to this difficult to should the scenario we need a strong position of the international community is there are no internal opposition. domestic opposition is there. is there a movement forming that want want to re establish democratic institutions? there is a lot of opposition and it's a main problem. it is fractured, it is capable from national

consensus. this opposition is although characterized by criminal interest family, groupings, person the power as duration. so the national dimension to, from, out of the situation is very difficult to imagine. and in some way, international actors such as united nations, us or friends. hesitant to take up this challenge because they know about to difficult his to come to terms with her look country and as it to ation, which is losing the rest of government it had in the recent years, there are concerns that this situation and hey, they could turn into an all our civil war. do you agree? i wouldn't speak so much about civil war. speak more about. no mia. you happens

iteration of a security challenge. we have a lot of kidnappings. we have a criminal gangs chuck, controlling part of the territories in the camp of being as well in the landscape. so we have to be clear that there is no a central power. there is no confidence of population in the institutions and we have a disastrous economic and covert situation, which makes it even more difficult to come to terms said professor into my old from the german institute for the national security affairs. thank you very much for joining us. on t w's. my pleasure is not as 2 weeks until the tokyo olympics are due to stars, but they'll be games without fans. organizes have announced a total ban on both foreign and domestic spectators. after a new corona, by a state of emergency was declared across parts of japan. the games will be the 1st

analytic history to be held effectively behind closed doors. and some say they shouldn't happen at all. it doesn't matter late than never. some might say, after a long journey through all of japan's 47 prefixes, the olympic flame has finally arrived in tokyo, one year behind schedule. due to the corona virus pandemic. rising quoted in 1900 cases in the capital. also, many members of the public were not there to greet the flame authorities announced the state of emergency in tokyo for the duration of the games to try to curb to spread the virus. amid fears of the delta variance, the measure mostly limits alcohol sales and restaurant opening hours to try to stop contagion. but it also means these will be the 1st limpid games without fans in attendance. stadiums like this one will be mostly empty.

to go. the government restrictions for tokyo site i'mma can i go well and sheba prefecture would have kept event attendance at 50 percent. the venue capacity up to 5000 people. so the data to go to this ago, we hadn't decided to allow no fans during the games as a stricter measure to prevent further read of the virus that he missed. the decision has put a damper on the mood, just 2 weeks ahead of the opening ceremony. polls show large swaths of the public. don't want the games to take place. some people are even taking to the streets. who do people? i don't think we should hold the olympics in such a situation together with these people who share my same opinion. we want to protest against the olympics till the very end and we want them to be cancelled.

that's why i came here today. but organizers are not giving up and are determined to move forward. the olympic flame may be small right now, but they hope it will help spark enthusiasm ahead of these unprecedented game. taken a 2nd look not some more stories from around the world. that's told from a fire and bangladesh, the food factory has risen to at least 40. it doesn't enjoy them missing in the blaze which broke out in an industrial town and come to the northeast. fires are common on the dash because of lack safety regulations. the thought of new york city were under water on thursday. as tropical storm elsa makes its way up. these posts flash flood warnings where shoot as streets and subways were submerged. the national hurricane center has also for us strongly russia and western nations are

divided over getting age into northwest syria from moscow. the un authorized extension of a delivery for only 6 months. at western nations are pushing for one year. 1000000 people depend on aid getting to the bible hardware crossing the un security council suspected to vote on friday. it was on the w news still to calm us. president biden has sent an august 31st deadline for the company. the longest war saying it's time for it's gone, it's time to decide its own future. and the cost is for long because worst ever environmental disaster, the company is grappling with the aftermath of the thinking of a ship and it's cargo of dangerous chemicals. the 1st by on tech and pfizer say they will seek approval for a 3rd dose of their cove at 19 vaccine to boost its efficiency. 5 will seek or authorization from the cdc health authority in the united states. the companies

that the jap within 12 months could boost immunity and help board of new variance. specifically, the more infectious delta vary and that's rapidly gaining dominance globally. the companies will also seek authorization in europe and other regions for search off. for more than that, i'm the joint body from d w as science. so to get those approval, how necessary and how soon after the 2nd those, what is the day to say splitter, and i'm not gonna make me numbers here, but i'm not entirely convinced if i'm allowed to express any opinions that really help anybody out there really get a grip of this story, we, obviously, people do say the more vaccinated you all the better it could be in there. awesome indications that typical risk groups, older people, people with existing illnesses might need a boost shot. but look, reading speaking that's always back into the house. because laundry, this is a question about commerce, it's about politics and public fees and that sort of thing. so this is what people

are doing as we unlock in some countries, you know, politicians are under a lot of pressure to basically say, hey, what's going to happen? we move back in doors in also adding winter. and that's why some companies are saying, hey, let's look at this also. we have the variance, so we've got delta, we got lambda, you know, the phone is constantly moving the gold post. and so the companies that have to move all the time as well. they want to find them by on take tweak. they say that tweak that, thank c. by all this, we get this rolling out soon. but reading speaking, we don't know if this is a life study out there at this point, be with food and drug administration, and the sentence to the control prevention of both the people who are fully vaccinated in the us don't need it at this time. in europe, this topic has come up before as well, and is being told down because people then say, how can we in these rich nations talk about bird vaccination when some countries rate a poor countries or even struggling to get one vaccination. so, you know, my final thoughts on this is really interesting when we hear that there is

a new via various of concern vaccine point that are struggling to deal with that particular variance. a lot of coverage shows their stock prices in the background. you can see what behind the bright climate when they're struggling, and when they announce that they can do something about it, this box, you go up and i think that's really the most telling point here. we have to wait and see, relax a little bit and see what see what the data says when, when we can see what it does. so think are bonded from the w science. thank you. as a global global cove at 19 death toll, this week's the past 4000000. and the recent death have been in india, which experienced ferocious new wave of the virus. wild infection rates that have started for many people. still living with the lingering effects of long cove it w reports. many rocks audrey is in delhi where she met with some of those struggling to recover its been almost a month since we spoke

a while came back home after a long bout in the hospital. after losing 25 and still very weak, be both is now slowly trying to get back to a state of normalcy and the life he had before it was disrupted by a see vehicle with 19 infection. the only issue was came to mind, the 16th that i will be able to win up on this battle or not. after struggling, initially, the book managed to get admitted to a hospital when his workplace intervened. off the 50 days he spent that 40 was spent in the intensive care unit. he says he lost track of time, of days and nights, and that the time he spent lying in a room tramped with patience. broke is the worst thing which happens at the end of the dental day. my legs i, i found that my legs are not working. they are, they are not part of the body. i was not able to cope of the oxygen mask while they

have put and i was really feeling helpless. i said, there is no point in living because i can't cope of a discretion. i left a message to my eldest cousin, brother that i'm not going to stay away. i think what is going to be my last day. each day he could hear people screaming with pain and discomfort. and each the he saw some one dying. the book knew he was fighting this infection at the time when the entire city was struggling hard to call for that. it was his 2 children. he says, who gave him the card. she needed the 1st feeling that was there with me. 247 was the feel fuel of losing him. you want to return back to normal. you just want to see was for the members of your family together on the dining table. clinical says the experience with their father and the site, the soul at the hospital have made all of them stronger as

a family. one of the biggest address was missing his diamond ceremony from an organization. he spent nearly 4 decades in an a. b. he has spent months preparing for but he's turning over a new leaf now. under the entire focus is on his hint. he wants to live a long, heavy fulfilling life was covered by him. if more tougher than the covert. i'm really finding it very difficult to cope with me the recovery time because there's only one month, there's already one month. i'm not able to walk even the dentist, technical sorts of people. doctors are telling it will take 6 months. one small slow step at a time. he's trying to move towards full recovery. but with every task still a challenge, he knows it will take a long time. us president joe biden has announced american troops will

leave us gone down nearly 2 weeks earlier than planned by august 31st. despite the taliban forces making rapid advances across the country, their withdraw will bring an end to the longest us war a nearly 20 year conflict. but the departure of nato troops is leaving many worried about security in gone us down the, the tally. been say this footage shows them celebrating after using control of the keyboard or crossing into iran. it was one of several advantages made by the militants throughout gaston, in recent weeks, they've been gaining ground since the us announced the departure of its military by the end of august, the same military that ousted them from power in 2001 in washington, president biden defended the speed of the withdrawal, saying the u. s. would no longer sustain the human cost of a conflict that cannot change. i've got distance course ghani. so let me ask those who want us to stay. how many more?

how many thousands more americans, daughters and sons, are you willing to risk? i will much send another generation americans to war and i can stand with no reasonable expectation of achieving the different outcome. but by and also argued, the u. s. had achieved its original goal of routing al qaeda after the $911.00 terror attacks that led to the invasion. he said the decision to leave was overdue . we did not go to afghanistan to nation bill. it is the right and the responsibility of the afghan people alone to decide their future and how they want to run their country. just days ago, the u. s pulled out of background air base near campbell, the center of its military operations for nearly 2 decades. the pentagon says the withdrawal of us forces is now more than 90 percent complete. as foreign troops depart,

the african military struggling to push back the taliban. like here enough gun is tons. northwest peace talks between the government and the militants. have so far failed. and many fear the violence will only get worse once the last us soldiers have returned home lanka is experiencing an environmental disasters. hundreds of dead sea turtles and other marine animals washed ashore, ship carrying toxic chemicals and placid pellets called fire and sank of the west coast weeks ago. environmental activists fear is just the 1st sign of longer last and severe damage to the marine ecosystem. once again, a dead whale is stranded on pandora beach. every day the sea washes up new cadavers onto the west coast of 3 lanka, to sean copiers, finger heads, the save the sea turtles project. he and his helpers work almost around the clock.

still their help comes too late for most sea animals. it is very disappointing. and i was really sad to see the scholars are coming regular basis almost every day . we are getting calls like this reading like a few 100 meters. there is a case to be made that there is a link between the dead animals and a ship disaster that occurred in mid may. just a few miles off the coast is 3 longer the sunken cargo ship express pearl carried tons of plastic, particles corrosive nitric acid and heavy oil. but the government says there is no proof of the connection between the dead sea animals and the ship may call up. we have to investigate whether the sunken ship has anything to do with the dead sea turtles and other fish cadavers. it could also be the result of a natural phenomenon or human activity. we will work together with experts to research this cap,

reducing the disagrees. he believes that the ship catastrophe one of the greatest environmental disasters ever to hit sri lanka, is responsible for the death of many animals in the past. many dead animals were washed on shore during the summer months, but never as many as this year. oh, now we maybe 5 times more than that number. usually we will get about, you know, 3040 maximum for you. watched up in our facility as along the center then called mark. so 5 year received more than 200 and capital re finger believes this number is still rising. he expects the catastrophe to have massive long term effects. in future you will see more anymore because there are no system got impacted. i know so effect,

but i know that you've used system got evicted and 97 with the time more convenient as we add more can because into the water cap routing once answers and proposed solutions from politicians and for the government to deal with the effects of this ongoing catastrophe. how can an artist react to the death of a close friend? american painter julian snob produced a series of large stock objects after a long time, friends timley died in 2011 works and now on display in a chapel near cologne. here in germany, attracting visitors, including one from hollywood. ah, a $950.00 check for bills. 5 print surprise were not godfrey and architectural gym and for the past 10 years, a venue for chop exhibitions. hollywood village,

defo time friend of artist julian snapple, has been shooting a film nearby on a day off. he came to take in an exhibition of large format, novel paintings. ah. when i'm here by myself, i took it all in and of course, the miracle of this show. and i'm not saying that just to be pollyanna positive is it's so well integrated these pieces look like it was made for, for this specific chapel. and it all comes together just purely and symbolically and there's, there's a dialogue going on here. but they're all speaking the same language, all these elements. judy and novel dedicated these works to his friend, the painter side,

tombly who died 10 years ago. the series is called on the day side died. we caught up with the painter and film directive i assume at home in one so on america's east coast. shaky camera work we cooked dubs novel, free style. i painted them out here. i painted them the day that i found the side guy. my daughter a little to call me from italy. she was there. so i was 6 hours ahead of us and you told me i was dead and i had this material around and i laid the things out and painted the painting. i me them outside. i just wanted to paint the pain and so i didn't think of where they were going to go. everything is not so premeditated, you know, in 10 years old they seem to have found

a home here. the large campuses were created by applying ery, like white st. to top holdings taken from military trucks or so our mental fits with the kind of clean, clean this of the chapel and also just that kind of austerity matters spiritual. let's get serious. now get some crosses. ah julian, julian, i'm looking at your paintings this beautiful place and the roof is floating. i think the physicality of the paintings and the size of them. they also relate to sculptures and things that are in the physical world. so they're not
