an engagement equal the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground in the a sporting hero. all week world in the face of adversity opinion is divided over to us, given us to quit, to limping final over mental health concerns. meanwhile, german competitors and to make a stand against sexism, we divide to 4. so really build up the world games that becoming increasingly dominated by politics to i think is a great opportunity. we see so many changes already, and i'm not worried, but it should be confirmed because we don't want to be just a vehicle for the latest 5 that comes along with a news let's you know, tackling an influx of illegal migrants but as all 30. so we allow measures to stand

in the flow, the youthful, silent on the issue, while at the same time slamming other states for similar action. and also i had feel they sound, you may find these pictures coming up disturbing the whole. 6 us, he's another rank to police brutality caught on camera. 2 opposite in colorado charged after the violent arrest of a suspected trespass. a warranted on felony charges. ah say that if you wouldn't, where you are, this is all the international great time. okay, let's start with more drama from the toe kick. lympics star u. s. gymnast simone bosses sensationally pulled out of another final her 2nd in just a matter of days. consider one of the sports all time greats. paul said that she

was making the move to quote, focus on her mental health. and while some observers have said that the move is a greatest achievement, yet others glenann fleet let her teammates down when they needed her. most i say mental health 1st, because if you don't then you're not going to enjoy your spore and you're not going to succeed as much as you want to. so it's okay sometimes to even set out the big competition to focus on yourself on tuesday doing the talk to y'all in big individual all around competition and women's gymnastics simone. bias one of the greatest athletes to ever grace the sport for time when they became being quite surprisingly for many decided to withdraw from the, from the round. and eventually the russian team or r o c f. you may 1 gold and the discipline 1st. that was cited us to me on biles decided to withdraw to medical reasons. then it became clear as cited by the teams entourage and by, by also self that this was

a mental health issue. it has created quite a whirlwind of reactions thereof. those who was strongly accusing and abusing simone bias for withdrawing that i would say spearheaded by peers, morgan, a famous u. k. tv host, who well just fell short of accusing someone violence of being a chicken and checking out on her team. and i saw something that serial winners do on mental health issues. now the go to excuse for any poor performance in elite sport. was a joke. just admit you did badly made mistakes and was tried to do better next time . kids need strong role models, not this nonsense. obviously, that has created huge response online and even some mainstream media jumped in. and if you look at the language that some of these mainstream media, like washington, both to many out of used, you would think that simone biles actually won a gold metal rather than pulling out from the competition. whenever biles pulls on

her leotard, it says, though she's tighten in a cape around her neck, she's the hero. talk to save in a solid sport embodying some tried believe in american dominance, and also carry an agenda and an entire race. that's a heavy cape and it chokes. but it's one that exceptional black women and women of color are tall to wear because simply being great isn't good enough. for some reason. many of those media and bonded and commentators already creating another type of backlash because people cannot understand what is her decision to withdraw from one particular competition. something she has been preparing for for quite a while, because the lympics is quite important for any athlete in the world has to do with who she has, her skin color and things like that. so it's definitely creating a major rift, and we have to wait and see where the simone biles decides to continue in this lympics. i see that a 4 time champion in the land base already. and obviously all eyes are on her in

the us thinking that she could win more. she went on instagram recently just saying how much of that weight on her shoulder is being hard on her. and may be this rick, with such reactions, coming from both sides would create even more pressure for the 24 year old gymnast with a very difficult boss. in the meantime, german gymnasts have chosen to full body units on sunday. instead of the more traditional the kini cut, leotard, the decision made to protest the supposed sexualization of athletes. and while some found the move, an important step towards the quality of this say is just another case of trying to make for political. what does our panel think about the increasing attention being paid at the games to non sporting matters? this whole issue of uniform and the sexualization of women has to go quite soon

and it can be so very simply, he just say, here are the uniformed men and women, no different. any sport that tries to segregate male and female on the basis of uniform is really back in the 20th century. one of the biggest things about the atlantic pattern and your skills and the, and that's what you're judging. charging the uniform and what, what people don't realize the sexualization of women, we may, can be very self conscious when wearing were beating clothing, which my actually performance. so really, if you really care about the school and we should allow them to feel confident and what they're wearing, doing a bit of a problem be on the one hand the olympics is designed to extol, abuse in the perfection of the human body operating at peak efficiency, so it's there to be admired, all the other had we have contributed silly things who may feel uncomfortable with that being live in particular. maybe there's a case for some element of choice, but at the same time we don't want to lose the essence of what they're lympics is.

are you afraid perhaps that non sport issues or political wants in particular for example, that could become main talking points in the future olympics? no, i'm not worried. i think it's a great opportunity. we seen so many changes already. i'm not worried. i still feel like eventually if you kind of not live down, but you respect respect and i'm happy to different hillan picks. let's put it that way. it's an a everyone watching on tv and watching, you know, 68 tests and see the stadium with everything they can come, pretend i'm enjoying it as much as i do. other olympics i have to say, well it should be confirmed because we don't want it to be just a vehicle for the latest. 5 that comes along. lympics should represent social moles as they change, but any room has its own century old brand. it needs to keep, continue to keep that. wow. so that we have, when we see the olympics there with our own specific procedures and, and, and habits and ways. and that's the beauty olympics. that's what we want to say. we

don't want to make it to the temporary to trans units and just wait for the same almost $200.00 illegal border crossings in just a single day. that's what lithuanian currently facing for the total number of detain migrants dramatically spiking to $3000.00 the summer in the repeated nation . and while the list has been down, so bringing drastic measures to stem the flow chart. duke, he's been looking at how the use position on the issues dramatically changed beer, opinion say, said fall all supposed to be in school partners. however, for some countries being in the gang seems of more benefits done for others. take the current situation in this way, which is going at the moment with an influx of migrant, difficult times call for difficult decisions. this will drastically change the

way new immigration policy. it includes the tension of migrant a bond on the release of those who are in detention for 6 level. they will be new, right to a translator, to obtain information about the process. they will also curb the right to appeal decisions and to allow for deportation while is appeals of being examined. do whatever it takes to absolutely ensure that only people who are persecuted for political reasons and have a good ground to look for a political shelter stay here. has been created specifically to deal with my goodness, coming over from neighboring batteries, lithuania, and you accuse. minutes could be using them as a political to as relations continue to sour. but critics say the law is a step to for the law as a potential human rights violation. and it doesn't correspond to you directives,

it and tries the current bad situation in lithia and in detention centers in law and lives vulnerable people and even more vulnerable situation than we even criticism from the way news form a chair of the constitutional court. the proposals which are unconstitutional are based on the promise that all foreigners who cross the border are 2nd class human beings not entitled to constitutional rights conditions in the must detention centers have also been denounced with allegations, the migrants have being stripped to fact telephones that they can only got signed for one hour a day, pressure that some say has led to people attempting to take the law. i have everyone detained in this building is suffering psychologically. i already ran away from iraq, since it's a prison, it is the same here. meanwhile, lithuania is embarking on

a massive project to keep wouldn't be migrant out. a plan to cover almost the entirety of its food with batteries, with a breeze wire. so what do you think? let you and use border is an external you border which is currently experiencing an unprecedented influx of migrants and asylum seekers. these people, many of them vulnerable need urgent support, such as food and shelter. the european union and other member states will not leave with you and you're alone in this difficult situation. so very supportive doesn't do it except when another in human hungry took a similar action. only use external border with serbia following a wave of migration in 2015. the tone from brussels couldn't be any more different. we cannot accept the basic values of the european union, a being so seriously breached any one like hungry who built fences against war, refugees, or breaches. press freedom and the independence of the justice system should be

temporarily or permanently excluded from the you. last year's top court found hungry, guilty of breaking, assign the rules. it says it soon mashed up the lose or protecting vulnerable migrant, by denying them the right to apply for asylum and by forcibly to putting them. meanwhile, as other states, such as greece also look to build rules only use external border to keep migrant out. russell's hasn't so much as batted and eyelid leading some to feel that in the you know, partnerships are indeed equal. meanwhile, another european union state has lost patience. the austin government has blasted the european commission for doing nothing to stop. the massive influx of illegal migrants is interior minister says that austria is taking matters into his own hands and we'll start looking for allies on that front. there is no support from

the commission, which spends time debating about refugee distribution issues. it makes no sense to give people smuggling thousands of euro's the commission does not act. that's why we act ourselves. or the austrian governments already opened discussions on border security with the countries neighbors hungry and the czech republic. they both also want to see a tough migration policy and strict border controls. austria has reinforces eastern frontier with $400.00 additional soldiers. migration flows have picked up since countries. eas, locked down measures with experts warning to the peak is yet to come. to live in the line by former austrian minister phone affairs current credential. joyce, good evening. can our 1st or what? what do you make of this move by the austrian government? is it a reasonable one to make it its own interests? while it was already, i'm going to, i'm acting who sat at the beginning of the german e u presidency. what works is bilateral of tri latoya arrangements. and that has to

do not only how to tackle the influx of the migration, but also it's all about bringing people back up to their countries of origin in case they don't meet the conditions for having an asylum state. so what we have seen over the last that case and actually started in my life to 5 to somehow try to take a common approach when it comes to migration. nothing has worked. let me remind the audience of 1995. what's the process? it was them from italy and spain, which that we have to do something about ego migration standing in those days, primarily as for our north west africa, all efforts taken didn't work. we. we remember the year 2015, 2016 with math in flux from us, canada, and syria, and what is currently happening and what your report tests very well demonstrated

is just kind of double standard older when it comes to action, taking by so if member states and and how does the commission, how the process react? brussels might could look at this is like some form of splinter group with australia wanting to talk to hungry chet republic about their own way of dealing with things rather than how the block says, do you think that they will be tough, maybe take some kind of disciplinary measures over there be some kind of support. do you think when all kind of asylum policy is coordination and we have maximum by and try it out for coordination. we do have a migration commissioner, but we do not have so far common. it's funny. see, this is and you talk to yan chanda and in that context up considering upset only a few days ago, somehow commemorated a 70 years of that, you know,

conventional refugees. and that is very big debate. not only academic. it's really a political debate or going on inside australia and i would say even in germany, it's un junior con rachel still. why should we open it up? shall we get it invalid and not implemented anymore? it's all about what he's currently see if i am kind of touching topics that well for a long time computer, this completion taboo. why doesn't the a, you say we have a problem with effects all our member states, how we're going to do with illegal migrants? all we're going to do, pull them all, we not let settle it once and roll and come, we'll come up with a plan. why does not happen the only contract that was taken by d. e. you are the, let me put it like that there was to reduce that european union as

a whole signs with other countries in order to have some sort of war the arrangement. one was done, which can be found in 2016 and the other one with turkey. several you countries have been asking why we have to do the same thing with libya. who is our counterpart in libya. we want to do the same thing with egypt because each of those and, and forth, and friends and country country of origin hasn't worked. and it's we, we are in a bic stalemate off of a lot of unilateral measures taken. and it will lead to, to more confusion and it will need to do non implementation of international treaties. is, is a problem when you have a big block of, of, of members like this as a, with, with the a you maybe some of the larger members can be insensitive to the needs of some of

the perceived small donations. it's not our problem. it says, well, that was the case definitely with greece. criminal confusion left alone a here. yeah. that, that, that will work your ration. but that was when you take a country like france, which was very extra back in the mind tonight is to to get some things done on migration. and migration has been a topic on the domestic delivery agenda and what would be to trying topic in the upcoming presidential election. although we see that president, my call is he boring, more and more language that i used to be more language of the pen space. it's a topic step that concerns, countries like france of the same expand like crease only that strong has a completely different ta spend all the has been a country else of immigration to a completely different extent and then greece was. so what we see is that each and

every your member of state is somehow condemned to have laid on its own maximum by and try little try lateral action. but the common european migration of chanda is not their maximum bringing back people to turkey, bringing them back to afghanistan and all in both cases. it doesn't really work. karen, thanks for your time. karen, can i so my guess former foster minister of foreign affairs. now, most likely another act of police brutality has been caught on camera in america. 2 offices in colorado charged over the violent arrest of an unarmed mixed race man. and you may find these pictures disturbing. oh, what do i do? oh, i do put your hands on for you. okay. don't stop on it. whoa, whoa. 6 whoa,

the police officers identified the suspect call. vincent has been wanted by authorities for several offences. enough to 2 of them and fled to mister vincent appeared to initially comply with the commands during the arrest, but resisted while he was being handcuffed. he was subsequently choked false face down on the ground and pissed the width by an officer. vincent, then, since it doesn't have to be taken to hospital require treatment, the officers in question of says been charged with use of excessive force. the roar, police g strongly condemned their conduct. does not police work? we don't train this. not acceptable. the definition of police were jelly is itself is a problem. you are you, you use the force necessary to an effect in a rust. you keep yourself safe to keep the citizen safe and you actually keep the person you're arresting safe. the job of the police officer, the street cop is not the punish. that's the job of the courts to wind up dishing out a punishment for conviction. if so, if a police officer was aware,

as was in the case of derek shelven, that he was being video camera right. your body cameras recording you and they were this comfortable with their actions. there is a serious epidemic, a serious problem. and then police officers, history needs to be looked into. we need to look at how many other times is that person been accused, or have they taken excessive force beyond the level of what they were lawfully around the allowed the use? because if somebody's feels this comfortable to get this out of control on video camera guarantee, it's not the 1st time they've done this. as an incident like us defined, the police movement is not properly communicated to the public de, from the police moment is a political card. it's what the politicians are using to wind up bolstering your base for more voting. it really just removes programs funding for certain areas for police. the afghan forces of any c rest by control of a key northern districts from the taliban. the retreating military slept behind a trailer, deliberate destruction. locals describes some of the damage that was inflicted on

the hopes my, in my mind, they planted mines here and over there, the attached large amounts of explosive and blew up all the buildings around here. and i'm moving in the cooling as you can see, the taliban stole all our things and even the windows and the doors, they took away all the usable materials and left behind only destruction. well, the telephone conquered large sways of the bulk province, including the district of calvin or a month ago. the terrorist groups being ascendant, taking more territory in the last 2 months, and in the entire last 2 decades, sit now as a dominant presence in the north, northeast, and central provinces, and is closing in on key cities, including condos and come to half. the recent tell about advances of deeply worse than the humanitarian situation in the country. according to the un refugee agency . around 270000 afghans have been forced to flee the home this year alone. citizens are trying to find shelter in the neighboring states. among them,

pakistan was beckett's done until it gets done. other have also been repeated the tax on power transmission towers in the capital cobble the most recent of those to play several days ago and resulted in a massive black house in the city, which is reportedly still struggling to restore electricity in certain districts. well, let's get more on that situation now. go live on the line now to local journalists below some worry who's luckily, probably go to generate to this battery pack, so you're on line below. what is the situation with black? how does any of the, the power restored at this point? what a much of cobble cell does not have the regular power that it should have. this is because of regular fighting on the highway in northern i financed on from where these power loans and infrastructures comments imported electricity from the sun in his back sun. but we've also seen deliberate attacks what explosives have

been placed, and these power towers continue to be blown up. the country's power provider, the national power provider. it's trying to do its best. it's even lost its workers, as they have tried to restore power. but it's just not power, it's either the infrastructure, you know, buildings, bridges, orchards schools, clinics, they've all been targeted. so i want to sounds, infrastructure continues to be under constant attacks as we have seen, very, very high levels of violence, where fighting is now in and around. major provincial capitals as well as district centers are under attack, especially northern afghanistan. you mentioned the district of color that was cleared up by the have on special forces. so you know, it's just one district. the rest of the area is under the control of the taliban.

and they've been able to seize quite a lot of actually grounded territory. the scenario that you described, that sounds like it must be terrifying for the people on the ground, the lack of the power, the resources and the prospect of the taliban closing in on them and the understand they're getting pretty close to cobble. now, how would people feeling in the capital one, what happened in the month of may when the americans announced that they were withdrawing militarily. that had a very, very devastating impact on the really low morale of the african forces. we have to remember that the american forces are providing a lot of support in terms of it strikes as well as, you know, dropping food and water to some of the most remote bases in districts said the american air force was helping as well as with the evacuation of the wounded, i think what you also saw with my surrenders of i've got national security forces

where the surrender was, you know, mediated by village and tribal elders. people actually talk insurance at a village district level. but there are also other reasons. for example, the lack of supplies, water in food. we saw the taliban taking control of more than 200 districts centers. much of it in northern i find this done much of it without a fight. but then, over the last few weeks, we have seen the african government launching operations, specially the african special forces. re taking some of those districts at least 10 the after president, as instructed as security ministers to go back to the provinces in re take important border crossings. the trading hubs. what facts sign iran took minus the g g? so i've, on the signs interior minister is currently in the province of herat, where we have also seen fighters loyal to model con,

fight against the taliban. and it's an incredibly painful and difficult situation for the african civilians, because thousands and thousands of families are being forced to leave their homes, lost their livelihoods, they are in the open, they need shelter in food and not to forget the corn up and make all the vaccination, maybe available in place like cobbling and other major cities, but more stuff, you know, rural areas and provinces. i've not benefited from that. and then the last few hours, we also have confirmation that an entire village was destroyed and flash floods more than a $150.00 people are missing. at least 50 bodies have been to cover that in numerous time province. the deep and eastern afghanistan in some of the most remote and destitute communities in that part of the country law. thank you so much for the de local, generous blow. however, though with other they live from the african capital. now, as below mentioned to,

the escalation in afghanistan comes amid the withdrawal of us troops from the country just a few weeks ago. the american soldiers left washington law just ask on base and had been operating for the last 2 decades in the wake of the security crisis and have gone down the members of the shanghai cooperation organization. they met to discuss possible solutions to club, brings together top military officials from your asian countries, including russia, china and india. rushes defense means to dump the west efforts in afghanistan, a failure. he also said moscow would provide help to, to jake, his son, which ford is with us. get this done. if the telephone starts posing a threat that he's been turning, has been keeping an eye on the high profile gathering in monies to speak exclusively to say, show himself his credit. what's the point of putting out well remaining on the board? the answer is obvious, is an attempt to retain us position in the central region after failing. absolutely,

everything in afghanistan system are over and over. where and the capital of tickets stand just to the north of again it's stand where as a result of a swift pull out by the us led coalition, the crisis is deteriorating. day by day, the taliban is pretty much in control of the entire country. apart from the couple region and this could easily spill over the border. now, as the russian minister of defense was meeting his counterparts from the neighboring countries here and do shon bear, he blamed the us for the situation that's getting increasingly dangerous and also called the american mission. and again, it's stand a complete failure. the winners considers mission. we have to state that the u. s. nato mission in afghanistan has failed a hasty withdrawal, a foreign troops this trigger, and the dish still surgeon, military and political tension, as well as the like. and still,

if you look at the map of again, if then you will see that it is surrounded by countries that are russian allies from 2 different blocks. one is made out of post, so be countries. and the other one is brushes. alliance with china, together with some of the different neighbors. now, what moscow wants to do is to reassure its neighbors that it is ready to help at any time if the situation gets worse. moscow has a military base here and to just near to somebody that is ready for action at any time. the other thing that russia wants to do is to cement it's key role in the region, which doesn't make the us happy. as i've heard when i spoke exclusively to the head of the russian army here and do some big ship. plenty of mr. corby other than the be management of the u. s. withdrawal is kind of where everyone is taking place. indeed, some of heinously, the us is holding talks with all the countries adjacent to afghanistan on a stablish.
