and the arrow are there and i really want to we join the protests banging pots until they were bent out of shape it was the only thing we were able to do at the moment we want the international community to be aware of the situation because in terms of power we can't fight back against the military. doctors and nurses in at least 30 towns have gone on strike to oppose the coup an act of defiance with potentially dangerous consequences in a country with one of southeast asia's highest coronavirus steps towards but there are still reluctance to protest openly some analysts say what happens over the next week how people react could define the country's political future for years to come right now i go you know if you will. a planning something big you know. my guess is that we go from a boss. either this happens in the next or 5 days are at

her reputation has been tarnished internationally because of her lisicki with the top model the maya moore military in the persecution of the right hand just pacifically the genocide there and also with other ethnic groups and she has used your political capital she built up over the years to protect the military so her reputation internationally has been tarnished her reputation inside burma is not artist at all the burmese still revere her and when it comes down to a choice between her and the military they're going to choose her i would say. and so this pressure that the international community is putting on it is about democracy and we're not sure what her motivations were for providing cover for the military but she has become closer and closer and it seems now she has i believe her usefulness for the military or somehow been seen by many on the head of the

military to become a threat some probably whether that was to do with his enforced retirement whether she was going to win impose a president that he wasn't happy with and it seems an unusual thing for him to do it's basically a self who they already have 25 percent of the parliament they already have the main. ministries so he had enough power already and it seems like an unusual thing to do and it seems it can only be a sign of desperation and then a loss of trust in the sense that she is going to protect women future. the global alliance to distribute vaccines to poorer nations is aiming to deliver 240000000 doses by the end of june the un led kovacs scheme says is on track to supply 2300000000 vaccines by the end of the year most of the doses expected to the

1st phase will come from british swedish drug maker astra zeneca and its partner the sarah institute of india today we are pleased to announce the conclusion of a long term supply agreement with the serum institute of india for the coke 19 vaccines to access to vaccine products through technology transfer from astra zeneca and nova vax unicef along with our procurement partners including power hope will have access to up to $1100000000.00 doses of vaccines for around $100.00 countries for approximately $3.00 a dose for the low end lower middle income country. as the dean ibrahimi is an advocate on banks in aging africa he's the director of med biotech that's a medical biotechnology laboratory he says copaxone has taken a big step towards fair distribution of the vaccine. i think it's great news

actually because last week's we were given actually through nightmare c. in like all the doors as go into rich countries and lower and lower income countries get and nothing so now i think that the new rich or unicef through the corps parks in the city of is bigger than they think we have to talk about the gobi the start of this initiative many years ago through the gates foundation and now it think through and lot of struggling maybe soon this countries will get the the doors is but i'm still here waiting for them women taishan it's easy to say that we can guarantee and the to have the girls as but i think until we see it in africa we will have to wait i think which is a really nice in the government and the unicef initiative and the affix of the kovacs initiative and just see in the forward who are should be able actually for this year to fix units at least 20 percent of the population and boxing at the

people at risk if we do it the mortality will go down and we can go to the face true we can go to the other range or of age to vaccinate the maximum of the population. well coburg says it expects to deliver more than $35000000.00 doses of astra zeneca as per week 19 banks in the caribbean and latin american countries by the end of june now the region needs to immunize about 500000000 people to control the pandemic chile remains one of the hardest hit nations latin america and the sea and human joins us live from a vaccination center in santiago i know you're standing in the middle of a football park a football field doesn't look like it. certainly happened doesn't look like it but this has been turned into a makeshift clinic as you can see if i didn't tell you that i'm in the middle of a huge football stadium you wouldn't believe it but the leaders of the merit of

this lower middle class neighborhood which is very populated had to use this in order to accommodate the huge number of people that have turned out for the very 1st day of inoculation this is the 1st mass inoculations in latin america there starting with people 90 years old and older and by god there are a lot of them already people are coming in real chairs with canes some of them walking very briskly in and out to get their vaccines very happy to do so because in chile people who are being over the age of 75 in fact were prohibited from even going outdoors for more than 6 months because of this vaccine so clearly their priority is being given to the most vulnerable age group these people are being operated with these so no back vaccine from china which does not need special refrigeration just ordered an ordinary temperature of a refrigerator and that makes it very easy to distribute and there are people

behind me i can hear them clapping who apparently are getting very impatient because they've been waiting for a long time to be that sedated the ones who have who have managed to get through here already will be back in exactly one month for their 2nd dose and house the government. there in santiago managed to plot a pretty unique course for the region i'm assuming here you see here to get so many doses for so many people yes. you're absolutely right and i asked the interior minister who was here a short while ago how they managed to pull this off while everybody else is still waiting in line even though other countries had signed contracts with companies like pfizer and astra zeneca the reason i'm told rather he confirmed that the government very very early on hired specialized lawyers who know how to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies this is what they do and this allowed chile to really

get ahead of the rest and also the fact that to leap was willing to pay for these vaccines up front whatever their cost unlike many other countries who've as you mentioned earlier are waiting now for the un's program kovacs to receive. different fact scenes from astra zeneca and other laboratories for average of $3.00 per dose which is far less ok thanks for the see and human there as an american correspondent in a big tent in a big football arena thank you lucy it talks of. organizers to the delayed turkey olympics and later plans to ensure the game should start in july july the 23rd the international olympic and paralympic committees and their japanese hosts have been developing coronavirus counter measures on tuesday japan's prime minister extended to states of emergency for 10 regions to stop the spread of covert 19. this parliament colleagues at the o.c. i.p.c.c.

and tokyo turns 20 in consultation with tax experts have been working night and day 247 to develop a robust plan and chalk it aims to protect every game stakeholder and importantly the japanese people over the last 12 months every single aspect of the games has been meticulously evaluated in terms of covert 19 consequently we believe we can stage the games safely and give the world something to look forward to this summer . ok let's take a quick look at some of these safety measures the olympic organizers of lead in this so-called playbook for athletes singing and chanting won't be allowed in order to protect erthly it's become a ping will be permitted participants must submit their itinerary to the japanese authorities present a negative could at 19 tests if we get and download the government's track and trace up athletes also won't be able to use public transport without permission and repeated failure to comply with the playbook rules may see athletes expelled from

the games let's go now to daniel parnell daniel is a senior lecturer in sports business and management at the university of liverpool he joins us on skype daniel good to have you here on the news. forgive me how can we possibly stage a limp games and keep everyone safe well and alive. it's a fair thought functor ran a fascinating time in the narrative around the game's election in the positive show the former pm and current pm in japan. their lympics games have been a celebration of humankind and event you have a code of it at the same time thomas by the i.o.c. has said there's no plan b. we're just going to deliver safe games yet we're in a situation in march 2020 and that kind the creek dog so we've got the timothy and the it's that that's natural people want this continuous thing this normality we

want things to take place but the reality of it is a lot about skepticism over the safety of the games and that was about to come from a local communities in japan to a lot reports of the local population of oregon and then crucially we've also seen fair skepticism about some ugly sponsors so this is no doubt been of an impact ok when it comes to having an impact let's talk about the actual games i'm seeing a scenario where say during the heats with a $100.00 metres or the $500.00 metres or even the marathons an underdog comes from behind heads towards the finish line it's an amazing feat of humanity it's an amazing feat of the sport ethic if you will on display and nobody in that stadium is going to applaud or cheer or chant or clap or behave in the way that people behave when there's a big sporting event that's enjoyable taking place right in front of them. i think

one thing that got to appreciate is that these are going to be not this isn't normal times so any spectators not been fortunate to attend football matches your unlocked our it's not our normal environment it's not a normal celebration of things that would happen when i got all the score that was normal as they weren't hard are they happened that what we've got we've spectators in chaps in need that their. games haven't amounts any any decision yet so we have one important ticket for 2020 the ticket some 2021 it's highly unlikely that we're going to have international travel what we make singers and what could be quite positive it is safe return of geographically close people so people in local communities to attend and yet that whole experience is going to be very different celebrations isn't going to be the normal type of thing to take place so while

there may be class. in terms of celebrations it's going to be a very different environment so it won't be the norm to celebrate as we may have done in the past and look the whole environment experience is very different are you saying that people will stay away you know people that would ordinarily travel around the world to go to something like for example you know we're talking about the olympics i guess you could talk about the world cup as well that's not very far away those people just won't book a journey book a holiday build a trip around going to a big international sporting event like this. up at the minute there's been no decision made on whether they'll be allowed to travel with an affair like this people people who are who can afford to and have that they will travel and try to do that as safely as possible within government regulations and regulations what we like this thing is that pete many people will stay away it's likely that the i.o.c. or make in this nation that spectators from around the world won't be allowed to

travel so hopefully what we'll see is if it does take place and i think it's highly likely unlikely that it will take place there the games are in its entirety is that we may see local people up be allowed to take these tickets so that there is still some atmosphere present so new from the stadium where the games are taken place ok we have to leave it there daniel panel many thanks for joining us from liverpool in the u.k. . staying in britain the u.k. today has been paying tribute to captains the torme or the fundraiser described by the british prime minister or. a national hue room. people across the u.k. including his family there to a party to clap to parks to clap for the centenarian who died after a battle with corona virus on tuesday he raised more than $45000000.00 for the national health service by walking laps of his garden he was knighted by her

more ahead of the european central bank mario draghi has agreed to trying to form a new italian government he's been asked by the president to form a known political administration of experts to help the nation steer out of its economic and political crisis it comes 3 weeks after the previous coalition government split stephanie decker has more from groet. right on time mario draghi arrives at the presidential palace for his meeting with president sergey might have a laugh at the tele task the former head of the european central bank with forming a government i get accepted but on the condition that 1st he has to parliament to ensure a majority and only then he'll give his final response and move into the feature it's a difficult moment the president mentioned the dramatic health crisis with its great effect on the lives of the people on the economy and society i'm aware of the emergency requires responses that measure up to the situation at hand and it's with this hope and with this commitment that i respond positively to be

a pale of the president defeating the pandemic completing the vaccination campaign responding to the daily problems of the citizens relaunching the country of the challenges we face it marks a new phase after weeks of political posturing that was prompted by former prime minister mike there n.z. pulling his ministers out of government for what he says were disagreements over how to spend more than $200000000000.00 in the e.u. recovery funds with a pandemic and a serious economic crisis many italians feel it wasn't the time to play politics but are. there many other course renzi is completely responsible for all of this but i think at this point it's better to have a druggie government than elections because he's a very competent person one of the best in europe. it would have been better to hold elections but if we can't have elections this is the lesser evil for sure druggy is better than the one before conti after 2 terms because if ican to form

a lawyer and twice prime minister is out he simply could not get the numbers he needed with mathilde and his demands all eyes now. credited with saving the euro zone in 2012 he comes with decades of top level economic experience and is now on the verge of taking on the top political position in this country he's earned the nickname of super mario and he may well have. to draw on that to navigate italy's fractious politics but more importantly tackle the very difficult economic and social issues that have arisen as a result of this pandemic stephanie decker al-jazeera. the un's highest court will hear iran's case to overturn u.s. sanctions a majority of a panel of 16 judges ruled that the international court of justice does jurisdiction in the dispute but the united states doesn't recognize the court's authority the iranian foreign minister was very fist describing it as a victory for his nation washington has rejected iran's proposals for the e.u. to help the 2 nations return to the 2050 nuclear deal as i said big. it appears

a game of who acts 1st and right now neither the u.s. or iran are making a move the us has rejected an offer by iran for it to synchronize a return to the 2015 nuclear deal with the european union with iran for filling its commitments that could have allowed to both parties to save face internationally and at home but the u.s. says it's not ready to rejoin of course though we are a long way from that iran has distanced itself from compliance on a number of fronts and there are many steps in that process i mentioned a couple of them consulting with our allies consulting with our partners consulting with congress before we're reaching the point where we're going to engage directly with the iranians and willing to entertain any sort of proposal the iran deal was one of the worst and iran began to reduce its commitments to the deal after former u.s. president donald trump pulled out and imposed sanctions on the country the u.s.

sees iran's moves as a way of breaching the deal known as the joint comprehensive plan of action a view not shared by iran president has done rouhani says his country is waiting on the u.s. to right the wrongs of the trump era already car yobbo yet the americans must return to the resolution to international law and a resolution that was passed unanimously by the u.n. security council if we see good will gesture we will show it to you if we see actions will show it as well if we see commitment our response will be full commitment. in recent days iran has increased the number of advanced centrifuges at its main nuclear plant it allows the country to enrich uranium quicker and to a higher degree something that concerns western powers the e.u. is stuck in the middle urging both to talk but with little power to make that happen. for now nothing has changed president joe biden that ministration has not lifted sanctions imposed under trump and the still considerable mistrust between

the 2 countries aside big 0. ok let's talk to william morris lawrence professor of international relations at the american university and former u.s. diplomat he joins us live from washington d.c. william laurance welcome back to the news hour let's talk about the legal aspects of this how can this particular aspect of it actually take flight if the u.s. doesn't even recognize the jurisdiction of the court. i don't think that that will be the main. venue in which this will be exactly why the main move that the iranian so making is to try to get this quid pro quo or a taste every entry into the cream instead of moving forward yes as you're as you said the u.s. doesn't recognize the jurisdiction of the court rarely submit to it yet it follows a lot of precepts and the international law that the court is involved in and

probably gating and ruling a lot so there is it there is not there's no international legal context here that's very much but the court itself really isn't going to have much impact on the overall progress iran wants all the money back it says it lost because of sanctions how likely is that. it's very unlikely for the short to medium term and that's because the agreement has what's written on the page which it all sides were restricting grosso modo until trampled on the agreement and then it had its assumptions and i won't list them all when the american substance was that iran's going to start behaving better on a number of fires and one of the iranian sanctions was that it was going to have a big economic windfall as a result and none of that happened so now when an iranian precondition says well you have to give us all that money it would have hurt and that's that's just a nonstarter the way to make this work to get going again is to simply have the

u.s. reenter since it unilaterally withdrew and then start negotiating while iran's for example or stopping to enrich uranium or there won't be much progress ok the new u.s. secretary of state mr blinken has appointed 2 new envoys to iran slash the g c 2015 the original nuclear deal on the face of it that would seem to hint that the biden been instruction is considering all options but is there a negative sort of built into that cemented into the fact that we've got 2 envoys now and it's this that means you've got to talk to everyone else in the region and everyone else in the region will have a reaction to the us maybe thinking about going back into the g. c.p.o. way and the quid pro quo as far as tehran is concerned which clearly would not good very well in certain capital cities around the region. well i think the simplest way to talk to to talk about

a very complex situation that you laid out is that complex is that it's the card exchange but it really isn't any more complex than it was in 2015 this was not a treaty it was an executive agreement and it was worked out between 5 countries and iran while largely marginalizing the gulf arab countries israel and others including the republicans in congress they were all kind of marginalized through the process now that the deal could be reconstructed on the same terms as before those 5 countries and it ran as an executive agreement that doesn't really have a ratification i think the real question here is what will the spoilers try to spoil and will they try to spoil it that includes republicans in congress and here and democrats that groups israel are potentially in the arab gulf countries that includes hardliners in iran but there's there are simple harder and very much harder ways to go about this and the simplest as my colleague alex as he was robert malley the envoys senior adviser crisis group when we all worked there the simplest

way to say that is simply for the u.s. to take a step towards reentering the g c p a way even with a timer on it saying iran you've got to do these things and then reverse the current dynamic which is iran's saying hurry hurry up meet our demands or we're going to behave even more badly very briefly william does that mean that say we might see them deconstructing the whole thing mr malley stands accused of being too soft on iran that's his kind of calling card he was involved in the run up to 2015 but if he was to push through something like compliance on compliance as a standalone concept before elections in iran what june july time that might be the beginning of a door opening further than it's open at the moment. yes so there's sort of 3 ways to do this there's there's just reentering in a phased way there's a j c p o 8 light which is partial right and then there's the renegotiation of everything and what you're talking about is this phase 3 entry which is entirely possible

right away before the elections if the u.s. makes the 1st move and then starts in negotiations through the europeans to russian with iran and saying now you've got to make your move the good news here is that everybody wants to go back to the g. suit j c p a way and so for william always great to get your take on what might become of the 2015 j c p o e willems they're talking to us from washington. still to come here on the news for you after soaring virus infections in lebanon there's now a severe shortage of medical supplies and amazon's under jeff bezos is stepping down as c.e.o. after the company posted wreck or quarterly profits pakistan have the chance to break the jinx this lasted more than a decade and a half for this cricket coming up in sport when we come back.

because some write in the forecast the parts of the middle east they are caught out will stay dry the southern half of the region will be settled and fine but you can notice some western weather just coming in across that eastern side of the mediterranean syria lebanon jordan israel of palestinian territories seeing some rather heavy right and that line of rain coming in across the northwest quarter of saudi arabia we've got a northerly wind coming out of the levant we got a southerly wind now where they say swain's mates can't go down they're forced to rise cool condense we get the cloud and we get the right and that is likely to cause some flooding out west the weather will move across iraq as we go on through friday just spreading its way into western parts of iran east of that generally dry kibble 10 celsius south of that again dry here in concert temperatures getting up to a pleasant 22 celsius in the sunshine it stretches down across the gulf of aden into the horn of africa say snow showers do quite nicely across the heart of africa

coup in me in ma but there are a few signs of major street protests earlier the police filed charges against unsung suchi and sued president win means the global alliance to distribute vaccines to the poor nations is aiming to inoculate 200000000 people by the end of june the un led kovacs says it's on track to supply 2300000000 doses by the end of the. the un's highest court will hear iran's case to overturn u.s. sanctions the international court of justice ruled it does have jurisdiction in the dispute but the us does not recognize the authority of the court. police in indian capital have stopped demonstrations in support of farmers hundreds of thousands of farmers are occupying roads around new delhi to protest against new agricultural laws purana reports now from new delhi. they came to march through central new delhi but were blocked and pushed back by hundreds of police offices. despite being forced to stay on one road people taking part in the

so-called citizens' march so they wouldn't be deterred from showing their solidarity with protesting foreigners on the outskirts of the capital whatever the government may think of the farm was demolished the fact that you know you was a depression that your fire on a farm was forced your gas was abated for the last time they were around in the streets and now you are actually a 7 little army outside their protest sites. the number of security forces that. protest has increased since violence broke out between some protesters and police on republic day last week police have erected rows of barriers around the sides using concrete and steel barricades. and stone. and the internet services have and to. and police have also taken action against journalists. monday pone i was detained after he reported on a large group of people who were throwing stones at protesters in the area of said his wife has accused the police of harassment. what sort of system is this where

a journalist who is doing his job with great loyalty is being targeted they strategically target him profile him and file such charges against him and mentally harass him for the next 24 hours and they were just targeting him the entire journalist community. members of the bad appear jhumpa party and the government's chief lawyer have also blamed protests on 6 separatists despite a lack of evidence it has been a pattern of the last few years that they have begun to. laws. laws against dissenters they do not recognize the simple fact that when you have a public protest it is being done in a manner which doesn't really need a conspiracy. people in new delhi are also protesting against the police charging foreign leaders with edition rioting and attempt to murder following last week's protests despite all of the arrest and charges going many foreigners are travelling

from their villages and states around delhi to join the protest that people have come out here in the capital to show their support elizabeth they are need to. inspect his stance farmers the victims of mass agricultural forms complaining that private firms of pushing them to financial ruin agri business is a monopolizing everything from seed to fuel prices and sending farmers into employees al-jazeera went back farmers who live near term as on the cross roads of afghanistan to g. christan and turkmenistan his shelob alice. in use because stan all farmland estate or and in the past farmers have leased the land and in exchange the government decided what crops they plant and how many last year this was abolished yet instead of a for. remarket many farmers say they feel more traps than ever local monopolies known as clusters are controlling the agricultural supply chain and forcing farmers

to become contract employees is. they took away our land by force we understand that the state owns the land but other districts negotiate agreements but in our district they had terminated our companies and taken away our land we are young and we have no we're not. pharma say in order to get agricultural loans and supply like seeds fertilizer and fuel companies make them sign supply contracts they dictate what the farmers will grow and how much they'll be paid they say local officials are enforcing the agreements and. if i'm not the owner of the land i won't get the revenue and profits they propose to give me a salary but nothing else is secured for me. the government is divvied up exclusive control of certain territories to certain companies leaving farmers with few options if they don't like the terms who runs these cluster firms is also often

unclear as always in the year and it would be good if they leave me on my land so i have the opportunity to run my land myself and used to make should 500 farmers unions have been terminated and moved onto the so-called cluster system it's part of his biggest fans agricultural reform strategy the government hopes it will result in bigger returns for all with more regional development. going our goal is to develop get it district that is why we have introduced a cluster system a new modern agnetha still in the cluster the the main problem is that the farmers companies do not benefit the region and do not contribute to its development yet farmers insist they face ruin and are not being paid fairly if it all in some cases some have created their own cooperatives or are refusing to sign contracts a protest against state turned. monopoly's shelob ellis. similar coronavirus pandemic stories from around the world the inspectors from the

world health organization have been to a religious institution the chinese city of who are the virus was 1st identified seems investigating the origins of covert 19 since arriving last month they've conducted interviews with people from research institutes hospitals and a seafood market linked to the initial. we don't live in on in the highest risk stages of the pandemic one 3rd of all cases identified in the past year have been detected in just the last month and despite the lockdown the soaring number of infections has led to a shortage of medical supplies xina harder reports. the calls are endless every single day of the week whatever time day or night melissa runs a non-governmental organization that has redirected its resources to providing oxygen supply to coronavirus patients at home there is what doctors call an uncontrolled pandemic in lebanon and. i had a gentleman call me at 1130 at night on saturday crying on the phone because of his

father and i had to you know explain to him i physically do not have a machine right now please wait until we get a machine and he's like my father can't wait there is a shortage of machines to provide patients with oxygen leading to more appeals on social media for help we have a lot of patients receiving. less and less patients being admitted to hospital because this is. the red cross has been at the front line of this battle. volunteers have transported more than 5000 patients to hospitals in the past few weeks 4 times more than last year and there are many more on a waiting list. 75 percent big number of them are critical patients so they can get. another. going to affect them some hospitals are using shipping containers to treat patients in the parking lot
