war the coming war on china part 2 on a. al-jazeera where every. more than 80 people are killed in 2 days of violence in ethiopia as the murder of a singer and activist lays bare deep seated grievances. hello again i'm peter w. you're watching al-jazeera live from doha also coming up the u.s. is criticized for buying up nearly all the world's supply of a covert 19 drug as it records his biggest daily increase and yet

a coronavirus cases. hundreds of protesters have been arrested in hong kong as china's contentious new security law comes into force. also ahead a yemeni rights group documents abuses including deaths in secret prisons as a devastating war shows no sign of ending. our top story this hour ethiopia's military has been to have deployed to the capital addis ababa as armed gangs roam the streets in a 2nd day of our rest following the murder of a popular singer and activist more than 80 people have been killed during protests over carlo hernandez's death on monday his murder has exposed deep seated grievances over decades of government repression and decent was a leading voice for ethiopia's biggest ethnic group the a moral a spokesman for the. romeo region held a news conference on ethiopian t.v.

accusing egypt to being involved in the unrest earlier the prime minister condemned the killing calling it an evil act orchestrated from abroad in order to divide the country has a look at the one as the un security council was meeting to discuss the rene song stand crisis the cessation crime took place it's a crime which an external force has participated and carried it out using a local force the aim is to prevent us from completing the renaissance dam project our enemies will not achieve their objectives even if we pay more prices and offer more sacrifices. is part of the obama community and is currently studying at the university of california in los angeles she says the government needs to give her people space to mourn in peace so for the government's handling of this situation has really exasperated the situation instead of giving people the space to mourn the government has shut down the internet it has its arresting people as

we speak and it's sending a very dangerous and wrong message it's telling their own war that we are not even allowed to mourn one of the most beloved young men whose life was cut short we need to be allowed to express how what this situation means to us we need to be able to because people are really wondering do you know i don't have no more belong here do they have a right here to just exist 2 more had others family was attacked while they're in mourning his friends and family have had that or or you know that tat and this is a very very dangerous situation and the government really needs to back off we also heard from david shinn he's former u.s. ambassador to ethiopia he says it's likely that existing ethnic resentment will turn into even more violence. to actually kill the musician this is the match that touched everything off and i think what you're seeing here is

a great deal of. ethnic background which has been touched off by this incident and it is probably leading to some ethnic conflicts that really have nothing to do with the reason for the killing that's almost become an excuse to carry out actually either against different factions of the or almost the largest ethnic group in ethiopia or different ethnic groups against each other and that's why it's also perplexing but i think it's more of a question of. the event that shut all of this off the u.s. has recorded its biggest single day increase of nearly 52000 new infections of coronavirus on weapons day texas florida arizona and california have emerged as the latest epicenter is causing some governors to reimpose restrictions when the one 127000 people have died 2600000 infected meanwhile public

health experts are criticizing the u.s. for securing more than 90 percent of the world's supply of rem dysrhythmia the only drug licensed to treat covert 19 there are fears there will be a global shortage after the u.s. announced that support virtually all available stock for the next 3 months the drug which was originally developed to combat a boner has been shown to help people recover faster from the virus campaign as a warning the move by president trump set a dangerous new precedent let's bring in william solomon from new york he's the chief executive officer of the accreditation council for medical affairs and a former pharmaceutical industry executive william solomon the u.s. buying up most of the world's supply of this drug ram disappear is that fair. well you know one of the things i think we need to make sure we separate is the gillie have from us policy gilliatt itself and you know in full disclosure i was an

executive with sciences is very committed to patients and the making sure that as maybe agency as possible of access to. the air you know i think really the question comes down to some of the basic code of ethical standards related to patient access to medications especially those patients that are perhaps in developing countries that are also suffering from a cold 19 and making sure that from a manufacturing perspective those patients get the medications they need ok let's talk about patient access this is not a cheap drug but already the chances surrounding this news this development on the u.s. buying most of this drug is basically saying it's not cheap a course of this drug 5 or 6 vials will set you back about 2 and a half 1000 u.s. dollars or more to the point within the framework of the u.s. medical system your insurance company pays for it or if you're one of those people

who's lost a job you've got no money you're one of the 3540000000 unemployed you don't have any insurance how do you get the drug. yeah it's a challenge and i think we know at least in the united states those individuals who don't have private insurance. it's going to be a little bit more challenging for them but i can say from the pharmaceutical industry side there are programs that are available to help patients have access to these types of medications so most pharmaceutical companies have these types of compassionate use programs where they allow patients to able to access the drugs as long as they meet some type of crap i period when it comes to their finances and the income that they have and i think you know from a manufacturing perspective we know that gilliatt sciences has contracted with federal drug makers in some of the developing countries and there are you have to keep in mind too they are lowering the cost they set

a lower price in developing countries versus the u.s. so i think they are doing what they can to ensure that those patients do have access to the drug and i know that that's in contrast for example with the stance that astra zeneca has another company that now is in phase 3 in terms of vaccine development for colon 1000 where they're looking to make the drug much more widely available so i do think you know again it calls into question this whole issue of are these wealthier countries like the united states going to kind of have dibs on the vaccine versus other countries that are you know in a more precarious position economically but still have you know the same need from a public health perspective could this become for all the wrong reasons something of a boom industry and as much as for a company such as get used to work for us how easy is it for a company to ramp up production because of all this talk they know has been sold 3

months down the line can they just get another production line can they just increase the process. you know i know that they have some limitations women in fact manufacturing capacity perspective and there's a number of issues involved in vaccine production and i think the public in general may not be as aware of it you have to keep in mind that you're looking at a population in the u.s. of over 300000000 that initial round that the base is secure with gilliatt from the u.s. government's perspective really takes into account about half a 1000000 treatment courses within the u.s. hospitals right. but like i mentioned earlier there are plans in place to try to scale up production by having agreements with several generic manufacturers in india i know for a fact in egypt in pakistan tell out them to produce from best of the air

especially for a lot of these more lower income a lower mid middle income type of countries that need it now on the other hand you know some of the countries not on that list brazil china japan mexico some other european nations i know for a fact many of the patients that were in your early clinical trials came from the u.k. so i know that there's kind of been a you know an outcry in some of the european nations which have said look we've been involved in the clinical trials early on and now we're not going to have access to it and that can be disappointing but i think more and more than anything to me this could be potentially a signal more of the unwillingness of some governments to cooperate with other countries and ensure that patients get the medications that i think they need and i think from an ethical perspective we need to look at that carefully ok william solomon good to talk to mr solomon thank you very much. thank you pleasure to be here. turning our attention now to mexico where gunmen have killed at least $24.00 people and injured 7 others in

a drugs rehabilitation facility it's the 2nd such attack in the city of a power so north of the capital mexico city the area has become one of the main flashpoints of gang related violence something president and roseman or lopressor obrador has often promised to quell. the 1st arrests have been made in hong kong under the new security laws imposed by beijing 10 people were detained including a man with a pro independence flag 360 of those were taken into custody as a rally marking the anniversary of the city's handover from the u.k. to china sara clock reports from hong kong. despite the searing heat and defying a police ban thousands of protesters marched to test the new national security rules the legislation was fast tracked in record time in beijing and in acted on july the 1st the 23rd anniversary of britain's handover to chinese rule as sad as it makes me say so all of it is yes china is trying to go home it's china as of

today 1st of july it's a sad day but that's what it is but i also take to the streets i still say what i think because it's my right as a human being i protesters started marching chanting free home koen lang at they key demands i need to be met by a line of riot police but this group of demonstrators say it's they do to stand up to china they law enforcement and home home what they always do this there are allowed to protest and make their arrest later so i today i come out and an out and one adi dictatorship knowing full well that probably out get arrested of trial. the scope of the national security is far reaching article 38 says it can essentially target anyone anywhere extradition to china for trial and a maximum sentence of life in prison faces vandalizes of the legislation people

were arrested during wednesday's rally for breaking the new no they were in position of items cooling the hong kong's independence from china police sealed off the area fired the water cannon tear gas and pepper balls to break up the crowd police say one officer was stabbed in the. strategy by police on which. instead it was a cordon off key areas where those practices had gathered at one time times where i felt like i know much protests rival the 1st radical right the police were still able to mike at least 300 arrests earlier on wednesday the city's chief executive celebrated the handover anniversary and a swift introduction of the new security law kerry was sidelined in the drafting of the script but said it was necessary to restore order and rebuild hong kong's reputation as a leading international financial center in asia the odds here a lot for the enactment of the national law is regarded as the most significant development in the relationship between the central authorities and hong kong since

its return to the motherland in beijing government leaders were doing their best to counter critics who say china's actions marked the end of hong kong special autonomy the government in beijing says and one that is responsible for the former british territory and they want to prevent it becoming a springboard for subversion against china sir clock al-jazeera hong kong. let's talk to. correspondent in hong kong the morning after the night before with you what's the reaction there like today and how people processing what happened. that's right peter as you know this would yesterday was the 1st time that many people including legal experts legislative councilor and those that would traditionally be involved in imposing a law in hong kong saw the actual details of the law and the bar association has said that it could have a chilling effect on the rule of law in hong kong and on the impact of hong kong

people but some even saying that it goes even further than the laws in mainland china particularly in its reach as far a mention in the reports where people could be seen violating the law whether they are residents or non permanent residents of hong kong and they don't necessarily have to be in hong kong to be doing it once again organizations that are linked to hong kong or organizations that refer to hong kong even if they're not in hong kong could once again come under that law and violating that law could give you prison terms of up to life sentences so that is what is concerning many of the vagueness the broadness of the law and the fact that police powers have not been extended they're allowed to investigate people they're allowed to follow up on communications they're allowed to intercept communications so suddenly the you know in in opposition to what we're seeing in the rest of the world with the black lives masters movement and said hong kong police are now being even more and power

particularly after many protestors and many people had accused them of 6 abusing their powers in recent months of protests and there's very much concern about these new details that are coming out but once again the problem here is it just isn't specific enough and it is very unclear whether these last could be tried in hong kong or rather beijing could step in if they're not happy with the way it's been handled in hong kong by saying that they could have jurisdiction over it so there are still so many questions about this peter but the main thing the main issue that hangs over this is the fact that hong kong's autonomy freedom of speech freedom of expression is certainly at risk now to be a thank you very much. still to come here on al-jazeera a military operation to fight courbet 19 in brazil there's the risk grows the country's indigenous communities. gauge at the national gallery of astronomy or when i'm conservation project is underway one of its most significant works by

jackson pollock. how it has rained quite a lot in honshu much as that you see is going offshore with the still a bit more rain to come for hockey this is all part of the plum rain system which brings a caesar race to japan and china on the chinese and it still particularly when it's been flooding all over the place from sichuan through union towards a giant eastwards typically that line south of the yanks has been the wet one the humid one and it still is with the next system or next number in the system tries to develop not much so really for friday they'll be scattered big showers but no really intense rain that might be reserved just to catch honshu so you can see south of that nation shouldn't be that many showers over indonesia is a bit of a clutch over sort of ways in order to peers to be going westwards forecasts wise

we do get a few where we shouldn't see them in java certainly throughout borneo it's looking pretty wet and in sumatra should be largely dry at the moment jakarta's got 3 days of rain there but it ought to clear up after that now more expected rain of course with the monsoon season well a policy in the trough right through pakistan is anywhere in india pakistan or bangladesh it could be wet to be more big shower and in bhutan but again the concentration in this wind is on the western side of the gas in southern india. capturing a moment in time. snapshots of all the lives. of the stories one people are pretty calm and there is no one check again and providing a glimpse into someone else's was new up pursuing in the dream of
