Yet to save the environment, but could it all go off and smoke and or tell you why these plays in gonna celebrate ah hello. There has been a lot of heat across europe, but also quite a bit of wet weather. Weve seen flooding in the streets of zurich as torrential downpours hit parts of switzerland. Wed like to see more. Were going to area of low pressure bringing the wet and windy weather to belgian, to the netherlands, and moving parts of Germany And Poland over the next few days. We have got some flooding thats 4 areas here to the east of this. Things are looking very hot and things are really going to start to warm up in the west. As we go into the weekend. Weve got some dry, a warm conditions sweeping across the british child. We are going to see temperatures pick up. If we look at the 3 day for london, by the time we get into sunday, it will be sitting in the high twentys with lots of sunshine to be enjoyed. To the south of this for the i buried peninsula, spain continues to sizzle the temperature in the drink sitting in the mid thirties. And its a similar story for portugal with Lisbon Touching 31. 00 Degrees Celsius is the hub across to north africa. It continues to be a very hot and dry picture, particularly for libya and parts of egypt to seeing the temperature in cairo pickup. And well be seeing 42 degrees by the time we get into friday, that should weather update. The news. When the news breaks, pinion journalists complain that they are systematically and the story needs to be told. We watched the last helicopter, leave the roof, the embassy with exclusive interviews, and in depth report. If purple is your thing, this is the place. Al jazeera has teens on the ground over 9000 to bring you more award winning documentaries and lied, need on air and online with Energy And Change to every part of our universe.

The the main stories now the afghan taliban is saying that it sees this strategic order costing with pockets. Don gannon, don, government, and 5th push the fighters back civilians say the taliban is in control of the board of at least 77 people have died in the most violent protest. South africa is seen in decades. Some of the worst of it has been in dublin, where shop polluted warehouses set on fire, and major roads blocked off and then in breaking use it in the past few minutes. Argentine is official, current of our settle has crossed 100000. Its now the 5th latin american country to go above that figure, 614 new deaths recorded over the past 24 hours one. And ill take a closer look at deaths from drug overdoses in the United States because really these figures shattered records last year. And its partly because of the Corona Virus Pandemic locked downs of isolated people. Its made it more difficult to seek treatment while dealers lay drugs with a powerful synthetic opioids. The consequences of this have been staggering. More than 93000 people died from overdose. This in the u. S. Last year. Thats nearly 30 percent higher than the year before. Around 3 quarters of those deaths were from opioids, but basically pain relieving drugs that produce effects similar to morphine fatalities rows across nearly every state, the biggest spike. So were in Vermont Kentucky and south carolina. Brandon marshall is a professor of public health. He explains how cove at 19 Self Isolation roles and making the problem was using alone is a major Risk Factor for death. If no one is around to intervene in the event of that overdose, no overdose needs to result in death. We have tools that work like locks phone, which were versus opioid overdose is. And if someone is around, they can call 911, and all, and receive that person receive emergency care. So all of that is probably and was probablY Less likely during the pandemic. When people were experiencing social and physical isolation and using drugs alone, we have millions of people in this country who are currently experiencing Substance Use disorders. And we do not have robust, easily accessible treatment system. In this country. Many communities, particularly black and brown communities, experienced major barriers to accessing treatment. One thing weve seen during the covert pandemic is that federal regulators, however, lack some of those restrictions and improved access to these therapies via Tele Medicine for example. So thats a good start. I think we need to do a lot more now and what id like to see this administration tackle is greatly expand access to evidence based treatment for people who are not currently receiving at that of britons m. I. 5 Intelligence Agency is urge social media funds to get tougher on hateful content, which he says often fuels far right terrorism. Following the euros final several, englands several of england black players were targeted online. And now summer accusing the government of playing into the hands of racists in baba reports a statement of solidarity protested that the mural, living good book, all a marcus rush. But in manchester, which was the Fate Stuff to sunday euros. Final rush, very well known for a successful campaign for more free school meals during the pandemic. He and 2 other young black players received online racial abuse after failing to sco penalties against italy. That was at the heart of wednesdays prime ministers questions. The Labor Opposition accusing the government of using anti racism as a political football. The documents have been trying to spoke a cultural and i realized that on the wrong side, i hope that nobodys noted Y L would have concerns the p both that hes not watching his own team. More else with another concern than say that Marcus Russell spend too much time playing politics when hes actually trying to feed children that the government waved, or his johnsons head, he utterly condemned the abuse and would amend football, bending orders that normally used to bar individuals who take part in, for example, races chanting or hooliganism from attending matches. Now theyll cover online racism while johnson put the tech joints on notice, i made it absolutely clear to them that we will legislate to address this problem, mr. Speaker, in the online home. No, unless they get, unless they get Hate And Racism of the platforms, they will say fine. My team to 10 percent of their global revenue. Johnson refused to say whether he was wrong, not to condemn support, as he booed the England Team for the tournaments for taking the ne, an anti discrimination gesture, previously had defended the fans right to do so. And the Home Secretary went further at the start of the euros criticizing the team taking the ne. Gotcha that supports you know, people participate in that type of gesture, gesture, politics, this ethnic sense. So when patel tweeted her discussed at the racist abuse after the final england play a Tyra Mingo was furious writing, you dont get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournaments bY Labeling our anti racism messages, gesture, politics, and then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we campaigning against happens now some conservative politicians say the governments getting its Messaging Wrong and needs to reflect on how that impacts real life, racism based man. Raheem sterling is another England Player whos been on the receiving end of racism. Not just on line, but at times from popular newspapers as well. He was included in the team of the toner mint, a selection of the best performers at the euros, his outstanding Contribution And England making. The final may have increased public support for the teams anti racism tactics. But the real breakthrough could be when black players are listen to whatever they do or dont achieve on the pitch. Nadine bob Al Jazeera london. So key question now is whether social media companies are doing enough to tackle racist pies for one Activist Group thats come up with some really interesting research. Theyre saying, well, obviously not a sense of accounting digital have looked at 106. 00, instagram accounts, which racially abuse. Because soccer, Jayden Sancho and marcus rushford. It found only 6 of them were taken down by early wednesday. 2 days after they were reported to instagram, moderators, thats just 5. 7 percent. A platform also failed to act on 42 comments comparing players to monkeys, 17 comments using the N Word and 15, telling them to return to their countries. All 3 players were born and raised in the u. K. What am ron honored . Has the center for countering digital hate joined us by skype from the state of georgia in the u. S. So you, as we saw very you identified over a 100 different accounts which directed this racist abuse against english football. As in, tell us more about the evidence you gathered, what it suggests about who is behind this abuse and, and where they are. Well, on sunday, after watching the game which was depressing for all fans of being mish football team, my team decided to go and test whether or not the platforms who but theyve known to 10 years that they have a serious problem with racial, abusive football, is in moments of, of a great national attention on their platforms. Just in february, 2021 instagram promised that they would delete the accounts of any one using racism against football is understandably sorry. That seems like a sensible policy to me. So we want to test, are they doing it . And we located a 105. 00 bits of hatred on that platforms. We reported it to the platforms using their own tools and found the end. The 6 were taken down. It comes from what we find is the source of content were looking at was pretty hard core racism. And so pretty clear we didnt want it to be marginal stuff where theres any discussion to be had. Is this marginal or not . This was the stuff that you would expect them to lead to delete and once again, they have failed to act. Right. So why does this keeps happening . As you say, its not you, we know this is happening. Its been going on for years. You have facebook that owns instagram and whats up google that owns youtube, and then twitter. These are the major technology companies that have become platforms for this sort of Incitement And Hatred and racism. Why are they not doing anything . I think it comes down to a mixture of greed, laziness, and really a lack of consequences for these platforms, for their failure to act. The legislation that governs social media platforms and what theyre liable for in law, in the u. S. For example, was written in 996 section 20 of the Communications Decency Act in the u. K. And you, there are no real rules on whether or not platforms have to keep their users safe and abide by the rules that they set. Of course, because we also wanted to community standards when we sign up to use a platform, its the site they have the right to set rules for them. The question is, do they enforce those rules and they dont. And heres the problem with rules that rules are both rights and responsibilities. Its our responsibility is uses not to break the rules, but its our right to expect a platform in which those rules are enforced. And one of those rules says that you Cant Use vicious identity based hate as a form of abuse. Again, the failure to act to me is inexplicable. But what we know is that they are failing to act. There is no framework in place to force them to act to abide by those rules. Theres no sanction available for the individual that suffers as a result. And when it comes to misinformation of the type that we saw, lead to the journey to 6 writers, all the misinformation that is undermined our pandemic that misinformation about cove it about vaccines. We dont a society have means to ask them to abide by those rules. Really, were in a bit of pickle. How difficult is it to discover the source of anonymous online, racist abuse. So just the identity of trolls for me and you it can be quite difficult for the platforms. They know they have the I P data and they could hand it over to prosecuting authorities and they claim that theyre willing to do so now. And thats good. Its good that theyre finally starting to comply by the rules that we all have to abide by governments. Democratically elected decides that these are the rules and the platforms to date have not obeyed. Those rules are sought to abide by the spirit of those rules even and so it is good that they are now seeking to handle with that information. The truth is that for most of them we can identify them. Most of the time you think you are anonymous on line, youre really not. All right, thank you for telling us more about this. So very important piece of research. Thank you so much for joining us. That pleasure. Now hundreds of people have been forth from their homes in the us state of oregon as a wildfire through the region.

Over the next 9 years, the European Commission wants to cut carbon emissions by 55 percent compared to 990. 00.

JohnnY Lau has just written a book about the relationship between china is coming his party and Hong Kong. But no publisher will touch it the 1st time thats happened to him since the hand over from britain 24 years ago. Well, i think it is completely different. The political content almost disappear wall in the Book Fair this year. And all the folks talking about politics share the points of views of the government. One author, however, takes the right boxes here. A 3 Volume Collection of speeches and writings by Chinas President , teaching ping on prominent display. The Self Censorship is evident.
