much too soon now we are seeing for example on the streets we're going to ask our cameraman to pan to pan over here they've marked the streets here so people will main stick and stay to their right so social distancing measures there is hand sanitizers add to the bus stops for example but experts say that none of this is really what is needed that would needs to happen is for the traceability to being priests and they also warn that the number of infections despite what the health ministry is saying is actually on the rise in many parts of santiago itself which means that this is much too dangerous a move according to them we've seen nevertheless of a wonderful reaction on the streets people come out at last after poor months people over the age of $75.00 are allowed out of their houses 3 days a week for one hour a day the rest of us can come out from monday to friday throughout the whole day until the curfew takes place and so. you know people want to go back to work the

situation the spiritual he has said that in the next 10 days the corner virus outbreak is not contained tougher measures will have to be put in place july is usually the pick month of the tourist season in catalonia but only 25 percent of the hotels are open and more and more is evasions are being canceled every day. some restaurants won't be open until september those trying to right out of the storm can't believe what they are witnessing afonso gomez has worked for 42 years as manager of this restaurant at the brothel on a. there's new tourism atoll markets and restaurants are empty it's very sad to witness never in my life have i seen a situation like this and i'm 65 years old the spanish government is facing an uphill task convincing the world that this is a safe destination and the cup 19 is on the control it's going to be a tough and uncertain summer. but fell on

vulnerable to corona virus infection in other words they haven't been infected yet i know i'm one of them i tested my antibodies i haven't got any and that means that we're like a giant woodpile which is just waiting to go up in smoke if given the opportunity in other words give the virus a chance it will come surging back we remain vulnerable the virus hasn't gone away we're rather like a pop a car sort of parked on a hill with the brake on and if we take the brake off because going to start rolling downhill again for the race to produce coronavirus vaccines is pushing up prices for essential equipment leading to concerns over distribution a german company that's working on 6 code with 9000 projects says some raw materials like vials have become more expensive and slower to deliver there are growing concerns in the industry about making packaging and distributing billions of doses all at once more than $150.00 vaccine candidates are in various stages of development across the globe the u.s. state of florida is recording its highest single day rise in corona virus deaths $186.00 deaths and more than $9000.00 new infections have been reported florida as

of aden and other southern provinces and they accuse the yemeni government of corruption and failing to provide basic services the 2 forces allies against the who these in the north since 2015 but have been battling each other for control and the ultimate secession of the south let's bring in georgia cathy error he's c.e.o. of gulf state analytics that's a geopolitical risk consultancy he joins us live from washington d.c. joe joe how significant is this announcement by the s.t.c. that they're going to abandon self rule and why now do you think. you know this resolution is the basis of some hope for officials in riyadh as well as washington who wanted to see the riyadh agreement successfully implemented but simply just declaring in a resolution that efforts will be accelerated to implement the riyadh agreements. doesn't mean it's going to be easy to do so the reason why it's been so difficult

to implement it. since it was signed last year has city with the fact that there are so many obstacles that make implementation very difficult the parties have very different interpretations of the riyadh agreements there are sensitive issues that the parties do not see eye to eye on so i think it's anything but guaranteed that there is going to be a successful implementation just because of this resolution certainly possible but you know we have got to wait and see yet dojo it does beg the question though what will this mean though for the future of the s.t.c. and their ambitions for an independent south do you think they could revisit this later down the road. absolutely they could certainly make the claim later on as they have in the past that the hardy government did not hold of its end of

the bargain and then simply go ahead to declare or self rule again as they did in the aug 29th scene and also this year in april the as i said they could certainly do that again it's a powerful group. i'm not saying that all of the southerners in yemen support it it does have a support base not only internally but the s.t.c. received strong backing from abu dhabi s.t.c. is a group with a lot of leverage and a lot of power on the ground in southern yemen georgia a final thought to you what is this the main for the relationship between the s.t.c. and the government of president hadi because there are reports that hadi has already allocated some significant positions for them to rule in the province like the governor of aden i'm the head of security you know the situation in yemen and especially in southern yemen very complicated very fluid i think the future of this

relationship will be a very difficult one there are numerous reasons why that's the case one of them that i think is very important to keep in mind pertains to all is slaw which is the muslim brotherhoods yemeni franchise of islam has played an important role as an ally of the hardy government but the s.t.c. views the muslim brotherhood linked group in yemen as a very dangerous group and is a big threat to the s.t.c. and if hadi is government in the s.t.c. will ever be able to see eye to eye on this question of what role is sly's to play of yemen we don't know georgia o'keeffe area great to talk to you thanks very much indeed for your time thank you. time for a short break here al-jazeera when we come back killed for defending their land the new report details a record rise in the numbers of people murdered for profit around the world and

mining and the forestation let's bring in vivian human ponced she's executive director of the house to see if that's an advocacy group in colombia promoting human rights and social justice so she joins us from the capital bogota a video on these latest global witness figures of land defenders have been killed is truly shocking over half of those killed there in latin america most of those are in colombia where you are why do you think colombia is top of this list in latin america thank you daryn yes it is really shocking why does it happen in colombia there it's a multi-factor 0 situation 1st i would say that these there is lack of the presence of the state in rural areas were social leaders that defend their learned not only their land and territory but also water they defend clean air they defend participation there's a 2nd factor that's the presence of illegal actors that in some places feel the vacuum that was left by the guerrilla members that the mobilized in 2016 with the

peace accords that were signed with the government. 3rd i would say that there is a busybody sation of social leaders that we're not that now we have them on the spot because before they they they were not seen because they had the war had them hidden away ok now they're in this part and they are also locked down so so so who exactly that they be and who exactly is carrying out these killings and attacks i mean are they mainly criminal gangs or is this really about corrupt political figures who see the land defenders as obstacles to them plundering the environment it's a combination of those because because the state has not been has not been able to implement the mechanisms that were agreed in the peace accords the state hasn't done it's not allowed to go to the specific places because

sometimes because because of the illegal actors that are there but all the times because there is not enough we owe to implement the peace accords the peace accords are many mice because as you know we have a new government that was not the same government that signed the peace accords in 2016 and the new government understands the peace accords in a more minimum way and they seek matteis social leaders that want to implement the fisa courts want to regain land want to access water and want to participate in the political life of the nation ok vivian newman point we have to leave it there thank you very much indeed for your time thank you thank you now thai police have launched an internal investigation over their handling of a high profile hit and run case there's been a public outcry of the charges were dropped against the grandson of the creator of the red bull energy drink 8 years ago he fled thailand after

a fatal crash in which a police officer was killed when a report. just hours after a fatal crash in bangkok type police detained a suspect you would see i was questioned by police over the death of a policeman in a hit and run incident but he was soon released and 8 years on police have announced the case is closed. you cannot go to the scene that we have received a final order from the attorney general to not prosecute were you on charges of reckless driving and causing the death of artists were you admitted being behind the wheel of his ferrari when it crashed at high speed into the policeman's motorbike but for years he failed to appear in court after being summoned and was out of the country when arrest warrants were issued he's the grandson of the inventor of red bull the parent company in thailand issued a statement distancing itself from the case saying t.c.p. group would like to clarify that mr worry you that you would never assume to any role in the management and daily operations of t.c.p.

group was never a shareholder nor has he held any executive position within a group now several investigations have been launched including one by a parliamentary committee into how the case was handled i hereby times are there people are thinking that the law is not fair we want to change that notion we want to make people equal in the eye of the law whether they are rich or poor. but in thailand many believe that's often not the case in communities like this there's always been a broad sense of injustice and double standards and the decision to drop the case against a member of one of thailand's wealthiest families will be viewed by many as just another example of the impunity enjoyed by the rich and powerful. in one of the capital city's poorest suburbs people wondered why the police didn't do more work here while i'm are you home i can see that something is wrong with this case we can't put a face in the war. i think the outcome of the case is very strange we didn't really

see how the investigation went the inquiries are being welcome. and but they may fail to change the sense among many in thailand that justice is not equal wayne hey al jazeera bangkok. u.s. attorney general william barr has defended the trumpet ministrations response to the black lives matter protests he testified that a congregational committee and faced heavy criticism for sending federal agents into cities to quash protests he also faced accusations of politicizing the justice department official reports from capitol hill. this is a time of turmoil in the united states. protests and riots and questions about the future of policing. and you're about to give issue incorrect against that backdrop the country's top officer facing questions from members of the house of representatives with a lot of growing to cover the democratic chair of the judiciary committee made it clear he wasn't to fire me. this is ministration has twisted the department of
