a reassessment of us policy toward haiti. we asked him what he thinks needs to change in order for international support to be more fruitful. well, i think that what we have to do is work with patient civil society. broadly speaking, the legal community, the bar association, the human rights groups, the catholic church, the protestant church, the political parties, the unions and the business community. and i think they are working right now as we speak to come up with a plan for a consensus plan for a caretaker government that would take power, calm things down, restore order, and build a pathway to restore democracy. you can't just say have elections, have elections, have elections when there is no legitimate government where there is no security for the people to go to the polls. when there is no electoral counsel capable of registering the the whole population, we need to build up the conditions for the rest. let's highlight some other stories making news around the world after shower. dozens of parents have held a visual

our reporter come on the ground for us in the u.s. state of oregon. -- our reporter, on the ground for us in the u.s. state of oregon. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines from around the world. the australian city of brisbane has been picked to host a summer 2032 olympics after the international olympic committee approved the bid. there were no rival candidates. australia will become the second country after the united states to host summer games in three different cities. russia has successfully launched a londelayed laboratory module for the international space station. it is intended to provide more room for scientific experiments and space for the crew. it's flight t the i is scheduled to last eight days. protests have been held in paris, as france launches its so-called health pass. the proof of covid-19 vaccination that's required now for entry to venues such as cinemas, museums, and sports stadiums. france is in the fourth wave of the pandemic. the government says the goal of the pass is to preve

so be not just doing was 6 us if you want to say so climate change is making us throw sentence and the impact of this is know being sold all over north america. and part of your job is in fact not just to assess what's happening right now, but also to perhaps project into the future when it comes to the impact of climate change. what are you expecting now in the coming years given the current situation? well colleagues of mine does to keep the example have done an analysis on the characteristics of this effect and why it is today is indeed a very rare, an extreme event at a warming of 2 degrees above pre industrial level. such an event could happen every 5 to 10 year. so by, by mid century and a couple of k. and i think it's illustrating that the climate crisis is not some something that's happening in the future. it's something that's very much upon us. i'm being based in berlin and instead of saying we're leaving the american sector, maybe we should have time post every bad the leaving the civilization friendly sector this to, to concentrations in the atmosphere being the highest, th

just blaming the other side is both the us economic us speaks. yeah. and, and the co, the government may miss management for decades has responsibility on the situation that you once are undergoing at this point. so both art, i mean when, when you get them bite and blaming them is the mismanagement of the us government. it's right. and then when you get the u. s. embargo understanding of president trump for administration, it's also a fact. so we got to 2 things, 2 actors that are both responsible, right? responsible. what's going in cuba on each site is just blaming the other one people in between monica rivera cravat at a journalist. thank you for joining us. thank you for having me. the morning. 10 days from the start of the olympic games in tokyo and athletes have finally begun moving in to be limping. village. $11000.00 athletes will be housed any strictly controlled environment to the corona virus. they will only be allowed to leave the village to train or compete. athletes will be tested every day of their stay. no spectators will be allowed int

she sent us this assessment. but where i am, if you didn't know any better, you would think that we're as a political ready, it is a celebratory atmosphere here. you've got people dressed in the colors of the ruling a and see that is the policy of mr. to my people dressed in the traditional hulu regalia, people are his support as opposed to the whole province where he does command lot of support. you have had gunshots being fired into the people rallying and crowds cheering around that the people here believe that they are here to support and shows on the barrier to the man who is being persecuted in the household. the atmosphere might be a little bit more somber. in the homes of south africans to feel that this is a man who has a lot to answer for. and his refusal to present himself and onto questions to alleged corruption in his administration and under his tenure is really a slap in the face of the law. so when the constitutional court or the supreme court handed down that that ruling that he wasn't contempt o

we won't hold anyone, they are not coming to us, but to the enlightened, warm, and cozy europe. de-escalation does not appear to be an option for lukashenko just yet. >> for more on the situation, let's go to the head of the belarus office. he joins me from the lithuanian capital. let me ask you, this surge of migrants from belarus into lutheran -- lithuania, is this an intentional provocation being orchestrated by schenkel? -- lukashenko? >> yes, it seems so. he has announced a threat to flood europe with migrants and drugs. what we see at the moment is very much this. belarus is withdrawing from the agreement. the border protector sysm that had been working well over the past years. he hasaid clearly it is a lack of resources now that belus cannot afford to keep these people. it is seen as a counter rule to the european sanctions. >> what do we know about these large numbers of people crossing the border from ella into lithuania? -- from belarus intoithuania? >> what we hear from the lithuanian border guards is that these pele are mostly from the near middle ea. many iraqis, m

the american used power and finesse to the fatal form. a semi finalist elena this, nina, as gown said in 2019, when she defeated venus williams on the way to the quarter finals. she has won the loud backing of center court fans. she like to tell the crowd she intends to advance much further into the tournament. this time, i feel like a change in growing why? i don't know last time i was on this course, i don't think any people knew my name just the. i mean, obviously after the mean as much a lot of people do, i feel like now i don't know, i feel like a little bit at home here. now i'm enjoying the experience, but i'm also like really learning from it and really coming in to these matches believing that i can win. i mean, i believe that going in the past, but i feel like now just so much more comp now on the court and confident and playing in front of you guys. you know, watching the news. he's a reminder of the top story we're following for you. us defense officials say all american soldiers and members of nato forces have left the bag or

just take us through it. well as we saw that brilliant, early start freeing the loop shows goal and a redemption story for him as well. after a tricky few years, when played a really good 1st half, they switched back to a 343 formation like they did against germany. gamble that the italian wing is maybe wouldn't be defensively, so involved that gamble paid off. and then italy, though, stayed focused patient and manage the game that deep soaked up, the pressure went to worried about scoring in the 1st half. and even in the 2nd, it took them a little while to get that goal eventually after a corner. but england kind of went into the shell, they didn't have the creativity, they didn't make the substitution of italy, we're making to get fresh legs onto the page the whole time. and i think, you know, as a coach, you have to be a bit of a gambler and sounds gates tactic was to gamble on the plays the on the pitch and very late to bring on then 1st 2nd, henderson and then an extra time other players than the penalti

he joins us from tokyo mountain. the olympic flame has arrived in tokyo to quite a lackluster reception. how much enthusiasm overall is there in japan for the games? when i think there is a variety of rather harsh reactions here to the decision yesterday, not to allow any spectators into the stadiums. many japanese who were able to get the tickets 2 years ago, naturally disappointed. and so the $80000.00 volunteers who spent a month preparing and will not have much to do without spectators. and overall, i think there's a sense of defeat here. many japanese still don't want that to happen, so they are dissatisfied and angry. and you can see that on social media and rhetoric, owners complain that they have to close early in the evening and are not allowed to serve. louis, frightens their likelihood. and all of this just for the olympics to be staged. and another part of the public in japan is that the japan has broken its promise to make these games a success with our spectators. that hardly seems possible anymore. and

tell us about that. well, yes, that has been an overnight some racial abuse towards some of these players who missed the penalties. now, the english team is very diverse. i think over half of them have either a parent or grandparent who was not born in britain and there has been this racial abuse. however, this also been a big backlash and the condemnation of that's abuse. why the football association boy prime and the sub or johnson, and also by a lot of people who basically all saying, well, you are young and you all of us and you have actually actually recaptured the english flag from the fall. right. and you've made it something that the whole nation can unite again to. you've got a much stronger sentiment in my view of people, really standing behind the scenes. sima. this wind is coming off a very difficult 18 months of the pandemic in italy. that must have also made this victory even sweeter. yes, indeed. i mean, you had these intense locked downs that would do it. let's not forget it. lee was at t
