not extend past the state of texas. so we won't step foot back in the state of texas so we can go ahead and kill these bills — the house bill as well as the senate bill, in an effort to, you know, give dc another opportunity. so what are some of the main policies in the texas voting bills? 2a hour and drive—thru voting, which were brought in for last year's presidential election in some areas, are banned. there'll be new id—requirements for voting by mail, previously ballots were verified by a signature matching process. also the authority of observers at polling stations, who work for one party or the other — so—called partisan poll watchers — is to be expanded. democrats fear they could intimidate people as they turn up to vote. our north america correspondent david willis is in los angeles and he's put president biden�*s words into context for us. it was very strong language, david, perhaps his most forceful denunciation so far of these moves by republican—led states to suppress voting rights. and per

and i want the people of the state to understand that! and i want them to respond to the emergency for the way it is. so, today, iam issuing a first—in—the—nation disaster emergency on gun violence. that was governor cuomo spelling out the situation he is facing. the announcement comes as gun violence surges in new york and many other parts of the united states. governor cuomo said more than 50 people had died in shooting incidents in new york over the fourth ofjuly weekend alone. statistics from the gun violence archive found at least 150 people across the us were killed by guns in more than 400 incidents, prompting concerns 2021 is on a trajectory to beat last year's record, itself the worst in decades. a pretty miserable picture. karol mason is president ofjothay college of criminal justice. governor cuomo made his announcement at her college. she joins me from new york. karol, thank you very much indeed forjoining us. before we get into the nuts and bolts of this, in your view, what has caused this uptick? mr cuomo is seeing it

neighbouring state. the officials describe as the worst _ state. the officials describe as the worst flooding in the last four decades _ in france, opponents of covid restrictions have been staging another day of protests. in central paris, protesters clashed with police, who responded with tear gas. the demonstrations are against a draft bill introducing covid passes and mandatory vaccinations for health workers. the passes give access to a wide variety of services and amenities, to those who have been fully vaccinated or have a negative test result. protesters say it restricts people's freedom. protests have also been taking place in london. these were the scenes in trafalgar square — where thousands of people gathered to campaign against vaccine passports, face masks and further lockdowns. crowds then marched towards government buildings. after the pandemic shut down most of the film and tv industry across the uk, cameras across scotland have started rolling again, with the easing of covid—19 rest

there is a fractious history between haiti and the united states. president trump supported jovenel moise. president biden allowed him to continue his presidency, if you like. does this change the situation and the relationship between the us? well, i think it has — it has certainly gotten the attention of the united states, whereas they were sort of hoping that they could just getjovenel through to an election that would look like a real election, that might actually be one — although most of us doubted that. they hoped that that could happen, even with this guy who was really not an effective executive or leader of his country. but now, of course, they can't rely onjovenel to sort of shepherd through a seeming election and now they're stuck and they don't know what to do, so that's gonna be hard for the us and the international community in general — the un, the organization of american states, et cetera. you mentioned the un — this request has gone to the un for security forces to be deployed to haiti. do we expect to see international fo

wildfires have been burning six western us states. our correspondent sophie long reports from los angeles. wildfires in northern california grow in size and intensity, destroying homes in multiple communities as increasing winds complicate already dangerous firefighting conditions. this fire is raging out of control in southern oregon, as millions of people across the western united states are hit by another round of scorching temperatures. i'm on the west side... more than 60,000 acres are currently burning. california is no stranger to wildfires, but scientists say they're becoming more frequent and more intense as global temperatures rise. the national weather service recorded temperatures of 130 degrees in california's death valley, some of the highest ever recorded on the planet. people in desert communities are being warned how quickly they can dehydrate or overheat. not realising how quickly you can run into trouble with dehydration and heat exhaustion or the body overheating. but even those following the advice in palm springs

ofjapan is under the state of emergency. people have gotten used to the idea. this is not a strict lock down. the japanese government does not have the constitutional power to do something like that so there is no penalty last april when the first state of emergency was declared people actually obliged but now people got used to it and as we have been reporting the number of covid—i9 cases in the capital continues to rise. in comparison to the global average that we have seen in the uk and elsewhere in the number still is quite relatively low but, still, from the japanese per sec —— perfectionist mindset is still rising to rapidly and that is why people feel reluctant about the games. at the same time i think many people are nowjust hoping it will go ahead as safely as possible and smoothly as well. a, ., , as well. mariko there for us. that is one _ as well. mariko there for us. that is one of _ as well. mariko there for us. that is one of the _ as well. mariko there for us. that is one of the sections i as well. mari

afg hanistan�*s state minister for peace. but of course that is a question for the taliban too, because it's been noticed that as they make rapid military advances, it's emboldened them and they become clearer about their political vision for afghanistan. and it's one, judging by their ideas now on the table, one which doesn't include elections and has a new islamic constitution as well as leadership, which, of course, for the afghan government team means that accepting those proposals is tantamount to a call for surrender. so i asked the member of the taliban negotiating team, their spokesman suhail shaheen, whether that was the spirit of these talks. that is a perception of the other side, not our policy. our policy is to have a negotiated settlement of the issue. that is our policy. we want this, because in that circumstance, we can then bring a durable peace to the country. that is our objective. suhail shaheen, the taliban's spokesperson. well, both sides say the talks today here in doha have got off to a good start. wha

coronavirus cases have risen in all but one state over the last seven days. most of it fuelled by the spread of the delta variant, yet barely 50% of the population here is fully vaccinated. that leaves about 90 million americans who are eligible for a vaccine but have so far chosen not to get one. today, president biden expressed a measure of frustration and desperation, saying this was not political issues, this was nothing political, and he blamed misinformation, social media and other platforms, for the reasons for a lot of people not getting theirjabs. as you mentioned, he announced new requirements for federal government workers to either get vaccinated or undergo regular testing, and he pushed, as well, for cash incentives to be made available to those in areas of the country where vaccination rates are low. that will incentivise them to get a jump. this is what he said about that. today, i am calling on all states and local governments to use funding they have received, including from the american rescue plan, to give $100 to anyone who gets fully vacc

"i'm not worried at all, this young man says. "i want to go drinking. "i want to go out drinking." "lots of people want to stay at home", his girlfriend said, "but we all have our limits". the japanese government says this behaviour is nothing to do with the games, but even its own advisers disagree. what we really need to have is the leadership by the governors or even the prime minister, and those people may have kind of mixed messages. now we have the olympics, so the people may not really be cautious to covid—19. cheering. critics call this the olympic effect. we saw it last week on the streets around the olympic stadium during the opening ceremony, and it's all happening in a country where most people under the age of 50 remain completely unvaccinated. to tell people that it's dangerous, you have — to tell people that it's dangerous, you have to stay home and watch

new south wales, sydney is the state capital, the authorities in new south wales were asking other states to send spare vaccines to sydney to try to quell this surge in delta variant cases. that was rejected by other state governments. they said they need the vaccinations themselves. certainly, australia's big challenge now is to get as many people vaccinated as possible. but very briefly, if you look at the figures, australia has recorded about 32,500 covid cases and 915 deaths since the pandemic began. those numbers do stack up pretty well compared to other countries, but when it comes to vaccinations, australia is lagging well behind many other parts of the world. 200 more covid testing sites are to be set up across england to ensure staff in critical sectors can avoid self—isolation and keep working. a government scheme — which had just been for supermarket depots and food manufacturers — is being extended to include front line emergency services staff and some transport workers. our political correspondent helen catt explained, the growing numbers of employees being told to sel

so we are in this really strange place where the united states, particularly the united states, has been waging this war in afghanistan, we have been treating pakistan like an ally, even though, while it was taking our money with one hand, it was shifting it to the other hand to give the taliban, and everyone has known this. a military transport plane has crashed in the southern philippines as it tried to land on the island of holo. 47 people were killed in the crash and 49 were injured. most of those aboard the hercules plane were soldiers who'd just finished their basic training. they were being deployed to fight militants who operate in the southern philippines. david campa nale reports. a large ball of black smoke was seen above the wreckage of the transport plane, a lockheed c130 hercules, supplied to the philippines by the united states. the head of the armed forces said it had missed the runway — it's not clear why — and then tried to regain power, but had failed and hit the ground. many of those on board were soldiers. they were flying from mindanao to the provincial airport

in state—sponsored drug trafficking. washington's options in the region are few. so the way that we approach corruption in governance in general is consistent with our view that the role of the united states is to work with people in the region, not to impose but to work with people in the region to create the enabling conditions for broad—based growth. even if they're that corrupt? even if they're being discussed as state sponsors of drug trafficking? we work with a range of partners, people who are... this does not mean that the united states is not continuing with investigations, or with cases where there is a law enforcement interest, those cases continue. we are focused, though, on working with governments and working with civil society and working with the private sector, to work together to create those enabling conditions for growth. washington's policy towards central america speaks of trying to understand the drivers of migration. the key contradiction is, however, that one of the main factors pushing people

like kerala, the western state of maharashtra and north—eastern states, the daily number of cases are rising, contributing to this milestone. there have been committees that are set up, excessive surveillance is on, but health experts say that, more than that, what's contributing to this number is the lax attitude and covid fatigue of people. because after a severe lockdown from april and may, some curbs were eased in earlyjune. people were allowed to step out of their homes, go to restaurants with limited capacity, visit shopping malls in certain areas, and that has led to people mixing and transmitting of this virus, which is now showing this result. also, another point of caution that's coming at this occasion from scientists is of a worrying case of a delta—plus variant that was first reported in india. there have been at least 20 deaths because of this variant in the western state of maharashtra, which is being watched with extreme caution by health committees and experts. that's devina gupta reporting from delhi. here in the uk, one of the government's advisers on coronavirus

the entire mission with regard to the stated objective of the united states and its nato allies in defeating terrorism and defeating terrorism has failed. the military compartment that was intended to fight extremism and terrorism, that, rather than doing thejob correctly and where it was needed, began to hurt and harass and bomb and imprison afghans. that's where it failed. that's where our failure today is. 0thers blame endemic corruption, inefficiency and massive waste. the conflict has costed an estimated $1 trillion and over 100,000 lives, and it could be about to get worse. taliban insurgents are on the offensive. they reportedly control a quarter of afghanistan's districts after overrunning several government outposts. they are insisting no western forces be left behind. all foreign forces should withdraw from the country whether they are contractor, adviser or trainers because they were part of the occupation. that's a violation, we will react. but that reaction would be based on the decision of our leadership. in kandahar province — the former taliban stronghold — residents have
