Fines room. Madonna. Hi. Come the price of jobs for E U countries and Mexicans Vote in a referendum on whether to investigate for my leaders. Ah, afghan government is rushing in reinforcements as a military struggles to stop a rapid advance of the taliban group has targeting several provincial capitals. Taliban forces have already seen large tracks of rural territory and key border crossings of the announcement of foreign troops withdrawing afghanistan by september. One major focus of the taliban offensive is kanda ha, afghanistans 2nd largest city has been a series of rocket attacks on the main airport. Flights in and out of suspended. 5 people were killed in a mortar attack. Hundreds of government forces have been deployed in herat as the economically important city in the wes and compound was attacked on friday and at least one Security Guard was killed by using residential houses and by wearing normal clothes, they crossed the frontline to enter areas. And when faced with resistance, they leave. The taliban are not a great power. Theyre just fighting in a scattered way. They make people worry and lower their spirit this all the secret distinction is War Inheritance and everything has become more expensive. People are very war yet. And the Security Situation is fragile and laska, ga, the capital of helens province. Taliban are inside parts of the City Military as time to launch a counter offensive, the hospitals have been targeted in the fighting do will advocate in 3 provinces. The Security Situation is critical, especially in nascar guy. The enemy has some movements. Security and defensive forces are planning to intercept the enemys movements 1st, then build defensive lines and later launch offensive operation. Well, its all about has taken more territory in recent weeks than at any point during the last 20 years in may at controlled around 20 percent of afghanistan. But as us and other troops have been withdrawing, it sees the opportunity to ramp up its offensive. Within 2 months, half the country has fallen under taliban rule. African government is now facing a critical test as Fighters Advance and surround the capital. Cobble can scotsman as an expert on afghanistan in the gulf at thE U. S. Library of congress. He says the advancing taliban has no reason to negotiate. Peace talks in good faith. ThE United states has articulated, perfect is started to articulate a policy of providing air strikes support to the african government, the african Air Force. The afghan Air Force has been there, the subject of a lot of us investment and training, spare parts equipment aircraft. They are somewhat affective, but they need a lot of logistical Support Aircraft need a lot of maintenance thE United states has very, very precise capabilities, precision bombing. And so i think thE United states is going to probably step up thE Use of Air Power to keep the taliban out of the major cities and push them back. Encroached on the major cities. Were not very far along with peace talks because the taller bond feel they can win a Battlefield Victory and so on. Kill the afghan forces are able to push the talent back or we hold them not making any more advances, the taller man and not likely to negotiate in good faith. So the negotiations are going to be a function of how the Battle Field is flowing. International olympic committee says about a rational, impotent who elim peon, who says she was taken to take his hand to add port against her will, is safe in the hands of japanese authorities sprinter, christina to spun, whose guy alleged her limping team. Tried to remove her from japan after she criticized her coaches. She was used to compete on thursday and 4 by 4 Truck Event she had been trained for. But she says she was ordered to pack her bags on sunday after she had publicly complained. And former, better russian olympic swimmer and opposition activists has voiced her support a Teaspoon Gaia scotched at w b, i would say this is a blatant Injustice And Precedent and violation of human rights and through. They tried to take an athlete out of the olympic village and bought them from the country just because of their opinions and position and directions and has worn out from Take Care right now. No. Because should have been competing in the 200 meters, at least care games. Instead, we have whole, shes at a hotel near the airports here in tokyo, olympic officials saying, as i spoke to her last night, saying that you speak to her again this morning. And they showed her, she does feel safe and secure what a pace to have happened is that a, a group of, of other risk athletes were leaving the Athletes Village last night. Have it completed here in tokyo. And she was amongst that great. And the 1st of the she became aware that she was leaning against a will. I was when she arrived at the airport and immediately went out to see can help from took care of police. Lets say now for a minute the rest the spokesmen marketers spoke to the mattress athlete. Christina simon simon, new sky directly last night. She was with the apple store. It is a to airport and was time accompanied by a Staff Member of tokyo. 2020. She assured us and has assured us that she feels safe and secure. She spent the night at an Airport Hotel in a safe and secure environment. The i see in tokyo 2020. You continue. The conversations with her and the japanese will forties to determine the next step. In thE Upcoming days, she was upset and criticize officials within the team because shes also been asked to take part in the 4 by 4 or me to re line. She said thats an event she hadnt practiced for or trained for, and its because of the incompetence of officials back in valerie, she failed to put other athletes through the required anti doping tests prior to these games that for those athletes hadnt been out to competes at the moment the limit to what we can do, but there is somebody from Child Care 20 with them, with her, also representative from thE Un Refugee Agency and in constant contact with her. But the main point is shes not left. She still in this country, it is not on her way back to bother me to the biggest cove at 19 Vaccine Manufacturers, Pfizer Madana or possibly increasing the prices of jobs for the E U market. These baka has the details is perhaps an unwanted reminder of all the cash flows and the business dealings that underpin the global vaccine rollout. But it is a reminder, of course, that this is essentially a business that needs to be kept afloat and pharmaceutical companies all out to make a profit, whether its a large profit or small small profit. And of course raises a whole raft of different ethical questions as well. But according to the latest contract between Pfizer Medina and the european union, they will be a Price Hike for the shots in the imminent future, according to figure seen by financial times, the new price for probably a short will be 23. 00 up from 18. But then i will go up to 25. 50, up to up from 22. 00. 60 this, of course the countries are very keen and anxious to stamp out the spread of the delta vary. It also comes at the time in which countries in the you and beyond me, you are mulling the possibility of administering a 3rd dose to bruce the job to improve efficacy so far. Only israel has approved use of a 3rd dose, a Booster Job in the over sixtys with other research is happening here in thE U. K. In britain and other countries may well follow suit. And all of this, of course, means the potential winful for both and pfizer as well off the phase 3 trials. Both of these vaccines have been proven to be more effective than their rivals than they asked present job, and the Johnson And Johnson jobs. So essentially, both of these companies have a captive audience in the european union. European commission, just to remind you, of course, was accused early on of not acting quickly enough when it came to the vaccine rollout. And what its doing now is proving that its willing to throw an awful lot of money buying a Premium Product that is proven to work across the board because its a one figure who was close. The negotiations said he says that the companies that capitalize on their Market Power and deployed thE Usual farm rhetoric. Essentially, the vaccines work time to ramp up the price of 600. 00 people have been arrested in berlin after anti locked down, protest and violent. Please say some protest says harassed and attacked them. Authorities did not approve the demonstration, citing rising, coven, 900 cases. But thousands still defied the ban. As we found the chief medical advisor to us present, joe biden, as warned more Pain And Suffering as a head of cases of cove at 19 rise. Theyre that hes moving out more locked downs is criticizing some republican governors who he says are willing to implement more law squaring. So a persons individual, individual decision to not wear a mask, not only impacts them because if they get infected, even though they say its my decision, if i get infected, ill worry about that. But the fact is, if you get infected, even if you are without symptoms, you very well may infect another person who may be vulnerable, who may get seriously ill. So in essence, you are encroaching on their individual rights because youre making them vulnerable. Washington has vowed to make what it says will be an appropriate response to the attack on israeli operated tanker off the coast of oman, us and you. K, have joined israel and blaming iran for thursday. Strike thereon has denied any involvement. 2 people were killed on the M V Massa street when it was hit by what appears to have been a drain strikE Us actually say theyve been can. So that followed a pattern of belligerence from iran. Reman leverett, the former white house national security official, she says, regulations in the region, not only going to get worse. Im afraid were in for a period of a glitch or a tension, especially in bobbing iran and israel. There is no real diplomatic Channel Or Framework to discuss or handle these tensions as, as there was when we had the j. C, p o, a before President Trump pulled thE United states out of it. That has really taken diplomacy out of the picture. And so there are been, there has been, theres been escalation now for, for a couple of years. Weve had israeli attacked on iranian target, their nuclear scientists, their new killer installations, various other targets in iran. That israel either claim credit for or quietly said that they dont know who did it. So theres been escalation now for a period of time. And i think it was inevitable that we would see iranian around in retaliation and, and, and increasing escalation from their part even though they denied that they are responsible for this attack. I think it was inevitable and i think we arE Unfortunately in, for a period of increasing tension and confrontation. Its a poor relationship between iran in thE United states and one that was really broken by President Trump when he torE Up the iran new Killer Deal that thE United states had negotiated painstakingly with iran and with our partners. If really put iran in a position where it had to take more of these measures into its own hands and it had to build up its own leverage in the international on the international military scene. And i think were in for some real escalation on iran part. Theres been some fundamental changes in the international political, economic, and military structure which makes is rarely shipping, in particular, quite vulnerable. 15 soldiers have been killed in an ambush in southwest nisha. Defense officials say 6 soldiers missing following the attack in the 2 roads. The region near the border was the king of faso.

On monday that rain is still falling in this region, settled toward the south Korea High of 33 degrees, were keeping tabs on that wildfire burning in on talia province. This is what crews arE Up against and you know, the weather conditions i think will complicate matters here. For example, were going to walk her temperature into the 40. So theres the city of antalya. The fire is burning, just east of there. And this is what the next 3 days looks like. Locking it in to 40 and then those winds will cost up to about 25 kilometers per hour. Its also got low humidity, which is also not helping with that firefight for central africa. Weve got storms bubbling up as we head toward gabon and cameroon. On monday, and if i take you towards south africa, weve got some scattered showers for Port Elizabeth into durban as wall with a high of 20 degrees. That sure weather update. Well see you later. Sponsor, cut on airways when freedom of the press is the threat in, oh, you just con, thought genuinely about your thoughts toward the Bacon Government Step outside the mainstream. There has been a implement here. Some of access points shift the focus, the pandemic that turned out to be a handy little prefect, the prime minister clamped down on the press covering the waves. The news covered the listening post on the the me again with out there has remind you of our top story this. Our afghan forces are fighting st. Baffles against the taliban in 3 major cities.

St. Lead to a stand off at the main airport until the biggest cove in 1900 Vaccine Manufacturer has 5 and madonna. Unfortunately, increasing the prices of that jumps for the E U market. Because the financial times, newspaper sizes, back thing is when its 23. 00 a shot and madonnas is now 25. 50 mexicans have voted in a referendum, which if passed could lead to investigations of 5 former president. I think corruption has been a promise of present under his manual lopez over door, encouraged his supporters to take part, but criticized election officials for too few polling stations. Well than 40 percent of registered faces must take part for the result to be binding. The most important that the important thing is ending impunity in this country. Its been going on for far too long. There has to be justice. There has to be democracy. Were in this up. What about we are in disagreement with president s. They leave and leavE Us with nothing. Another president comes in and they leave him with all the responsibility. Well ahead of the Vote Election Official said the process would itself be free from corruption, which is as it gets incorporated on, the pop in our consultation will be carried out within the technical specifications of quality, Professionalism And Personality and legality. Its specter that the results would be obtained of a maximum of 24 hours after the close of receiving the pallet. Tabulations. Sierra vanessa. No, im in the president of latin america consultancy, a symmetric. She says the referendum is a way for present, live has overdue to distract from his failing. Well, hes holding it because it be great. His base and a mexicans are exhausted of corruption. Right. So what hes saying is, is trying to seek these corruption prosecutions. It goes, his predecessors who are from a very well established political qualities. And he is for more than you know, which is a newer political party. And its basically sort of a leftist ploy against the right. But actually, its unnecessary because you can just prosecute people for corruption once they are out of the presidency. So hes holding it really to distract from his mishandling of the pandemic. And from the fact that the economic development has not been there, even despite his sort of changing major infrastructure projects like the airports and, and that he keep centralizing power around, sort of a certain lease. There are his lead and centralizing power around the oil company. So he is not actually deliver what he said he would do, which is anti corruption and improvement in the living standards of the Pool And Increase of delivery of services to the pool and actually Murder Rate despite the pandemic, is it high . Is it ever was under the drug cartels tell the president you seeking the so called prosecutions against already their statute of limitations have already run out. And in fact the, the wording is very vague. Its like, do you want reparations for victims by people who have, you know, from people who have roamed the people of mexico from before. And of course anybody would answer yes to that. But there is no set mechanism. Its a very strange political ploy. I dont think that it will actually lead for any benefits for the mexican people. Supporters of brazils present travels, nora, had taken to this kind of the streets across the country. On sunday, there was a show of support for his proposal to replace the electronic Voting System with paper ballots for next Years Election was gonna kill reports from regis. Narrow the thousands of brazilians rallied in support of brazil. President Jadem Ball some adult. Theyre backing his planes that brazil current electronic Voting System is not to be trusted. They will dont see a liquid. I believe both scenario was elected president in the 1st round of the 2018 elections and not in the 2nd round. Like the official results say, low make isnt judge, just must respect the will of the people who want paper ballots, not just digital one, washington going also follow the president has offered no evidence of problems with the current system that has been used since 1996 but his supporters believe him, they want a Paper Print out of every digital Ballot Cast and theyre putting pressure on congress and the supreme court to change the system. But 11 political party in many brazilians question both scenarios, intention. Getting the people want to change the electronic voting once they pay the site to us. What the majority of brazilians wanted. It wasnt, this is just the Governments Way of distracting the people from what is really going on. Id like to more than 500000 did by covered 1900 recent polls. Shobel so now faces defeat by former president with the national ruler, the silver. If the contest next Years Election in both scenario has repeatedly said he will not step down. If he thinks there is fraud, had any idea this is happening after the opposition has stage 4 nationwide project. 7 for both but not as well. So not as popularity has waned in the face of increasing inflation, Unemployment And Poverty race analysts believe he is following in the footsteps of former us president donald trump most. And i was trying to do the same thing that trump has gone on in the election. United states, he wants to have the elements necessary to claim that to actually read and try to validate them. Resilient still have to wait more than a year to cast their vote. But both on out of supporters and opponents already testing each other on the Street Monitor and i give just 0 rio de janeiro.

Environmentalists have been pushing for the movie is adarine reports. Picture postcard perfection. Tourists are back in venice, but they wont be arriving anytime soon on large cruise ships. It follows years of debate about banning mega cruise ships to protect venuss lagoon ecosystem. To be became much more heated with the arrival in june of a towering 90000 ton ship. The government finally announced the ban in july. After threats from unesco to place venice a World Heritage Site on its endangered list. The italy is promising to cover last wages for thousands of workers who rely on the Cruise Industry to keep them afloat. What a movie about it. We hope the government comes up with a way for us to continue a subsidy might last a year or 2, but this decrease has ships wont pass through anymore.

And what are the problems like that the city is dying in terms of being the living place where the tickets are living in side and not having to commute to get job which cannot give it a chance to live in the city where we are just that to me that may control as part of an organization that lobbied for the band. She sees it as part of a larger push to focus on long term sustainability. All of that would be done not to shift the focus away from accommodating tourism to really fulfilling the needs of the local residents who dip and also on the value of a very city of the lagoon. And on the well being of the whole environment. Here. The venice rose as a commercial powerhouse centuries ago to the great benefit of its people, finding a balance that keeps coffers full and residents from fleeing will take more than banning cruise ships from its waters.
