hello welcome to the news hour a violent deaths of 2 women on opposite sides of the atlantic have been remembered with tears and outrage in the united states protests are marking the anniversary of the death of briana taylor a shot in her home by police and then here in the u.k. thousands have defied lockdown restrictions to pay tribute to sara ever odds whose remains were found on wednesday she'd been missing for a week a serving police officer has been charged with kidnapping and the vigil was on london's clapham common near to where she was last seen and from what nadine baba now has our report. they've been warned not to come but they were defiant this crowd of women and men rallied in south london near where marketing executive sarah ever odd went missing a serving police officer is now being charged with her abduction and murder i think . everyone i know and myself it's the same thing ace it's nothing i mean one

thing you want to pass and it's not about hating people and hating their companies are not making changes sarah was last seen walking from a friend's apartment in clapham to her home elsewhere in south london a week after she disappeared sarah's body was found in woodland in kent more than 80 kilometers away the cases spoke to social media avalanche of testimony many women detailing how they've spent their whole lives being subjected to abuse and having to be on guard since sarah everett's disappearance women from all walks of life have come forward with their own accounts of how they've been harassed followed assaulted great and many of them saying that it's men that need to change their attitudes because every single woman knows the feeling of being frightened whose responsibility is it it's everyone's responsibility the problem is that women shouted most of that and up until now and now men need to step up every single man

needs to be a role model to our place i need to be a conscience to need to their friends to their colleagues to their brothers and most of all they need to go on i tunes a recent study commissioned by campaign group of un women u.k. reflects the disturbing reality over 70 percent of women of all ages have experienced some form of sexual harassment in public places the figures were high as for the youngest respondents with 97 percent of 18 to 24 year olds experiencing sexual harassment in public and despite all that many women didn't think it was worth reporting incidence noted 95 percent of the respondents said that across the spectrum of incidents at a. experience they had not reported all of the incidents that they'd been through and that happened to them so very few people are reporting. and that includes a spectrum of behaviors from what you might describe as my older sexual harassment which just kept rolling in with lane but also more serious groping being followed

or coerced into sexual activity without consent such as a series of nationwide vigils was counselled after london police said this event couldn't go ahead because of covered 19 guidelines in some places people marked the event on their doorsteps instead but they all serve the same message forcing those in power to take their abuse seriously and asking men to challenge each other deemed by the al-jazeera london. office has kept a low profile for most of the evening before moving in to break up the crowds well after nightfall police haven't announced any of arrests but the fact that a serving metropolitan officer in london has been arrested and charged with sour ever odds abduction and murder really led to an increasing sense of tension in these gatherings. meanwhile family and friends have been gathering to remember briana taylor on the one year anniversary of her death demonstrations of unplanned

in the u.s. city of louisville demanding justice and accountability the 26 year old black woman was shot and killed by police officers after they forced their way into her apartment in an early morning raid there was an unprecedented civil suit settlement brianna tell us brianna taylor's family but no criminal charges have been filed over her death mike hanna joins us live now from washington and as i might really important for brianna taylor's family to raise awareness about her killing and the fact that no criminal charges have been filed in relation to her death. very much so a year after no criminal charges 3 of the detectives have been fired by the police department another was charged with wanton endangered men but no charges have been filed directly in connection with the killing of briana taylor this of course has destroyed her family and angered many across the nation and anger reflected today

when a memorial for her in louisville kentucky where crowds gathered to remember her and to continue to stress that nobody has been held culpable for this particular killing the killing certainly launched nationwide demonstrations was one of the major motor forces in the black lives matter movement which most rose to prominence over the year one person in the course of the day does remember brianna taylor the president joe biden has tweeted out a message saying how you remember her and saying as well that he is going to continue to push for police reform in congress something that many believe would be a tangible memory for the killing of this young woman. yes that's right of course we've seen this huge uprising in support of black lives in that matter and we know that it is part of some the terms of this civil suit satellite to taylor's family that meant to implement police reforms are supposed to be changed but where are we

. well once again the police reform moves are stuck it seems in congress at this particular point but certainly something that was very important in terms of the black lives matter movement it may not be as prominent as the day to day basis as it was over the past year but it certainly did play a major role in the election it was a rallying point for many many who got rid of the previous administration because of their apparent opposition to the black lives matter movement so it has played a role in domestic u.s. politics a very substantial role having an impact on the outcome of the election last year but at the same time there is a tailing off as it were in the levels of protests that one has seen but the fact that the memorial is happening today the fact that this is being talked about a reminder that the memory of briana taylor simply is not going to go away nor the

lives of others who have been affected by police action all right thank you very much and all the latest on that story from washington mike hanna thanks mike. we want to take a close look now at the vigils that have been held here in london and actually in other cities across the u.k. to pay tribute to sarah ever are joining us now by skype is harry hussein she is the founder of chain an organization run by survivors supporting people affected by gender based violence can you help us to understand why the death of sarah has really struck such a powerful chord with thousands of women across the country. thank you for asking the question i think it's because we can all see ourselves in sarah's shoes walking home she having a good time with her friends and it's such

a normal day occurrence for all of us and she must have thought about the same things that we think about is it safer to take the bus should a galant over should i walk should i call a friend and you think no no it's ok i'll walk i want you before it should be fine and then what i really shows is that it could have been any one of us and these are the kind of calculations that are invisible to look men and it is this form of perpetual intrepid abuse that women and girls grew up with and faced every single day so much so that we undiscounted we stop talking about it to our friends it just becomes part of our life but it kills people and it damages people for the rest of their lives and it's something that needs to stop so i think that is what makes sarah's murder it's not just stand that's murder so so painstaking because we see ourselves in her what do you hear in the work that you do is this trend on

the rise are more and more women experiencing some form of sexual harassment in public spaces. i don't think there's a difference and how women are facing this but we do see it and uprising online manifestations of it whether it is inappropriate messages pictures threats to share pictures into a project or even hacking someone's pullman stocking and then furthering domestic and sexual abuse through online means and tech means that is something that's different but let me in this problem ask any woman you pick up any book from history we know that this is age auld and therefore it's so important to really talk about you know doing something about it that the solutions are not just reply it's the solutions are not new or safety apps solutions are not more police presence the solution has to come from men because it is a violence that is perpetrated by men and it is these structures the speech are the

structures are held up by the very institutions are supposed to keep us safe like the police like the government like schools we need a very hollow of all of the we that we teach young boys how to relate with girls right so what you're saying is it's it's a cultural matter it's a social matter but it's about the mentality and and it needs to come through what is the main tool that you would focus on is it education. it would be education for the long term but i think in the medium term and in the short term many to be having these conversations with each other and our institutions such as the police that you really need to take a really hard look at like how they operate and their actions tonight not even allowing us to have a collective moment of mourning and grief at something so tragic that has happened that was completely preventable so i think we need to really think about why aren't like things like flashing sexual harassment on the streets and public spaces why

aren't there serious crimes why aren't you treated seriously when we know that there is a really good correlation with those crimes leading up to bigger assaults and and murders as we've seen in the case of sarah so if there is anything though we should take away from what has happened to sarah it is that it is men the need to assuring the responsibility of having these conversations with their friends for workers sons brothers their families for whatsapp group all of these spaces that women are not part of and also they have the power to change the mindset of people with things like them there should be no room for things like rape jokes and sexist humor that can argue about can you talk you just touched on something really interesting about the the risk of this being normalized perhaps even accepted by women how important it is for women to speak out we already know that sexual assault and rape is under reported but how i mean things like you know more other

forms of sexual harassment you are speaking about flashing then cat calling is this the women that you speak to how how do people generally generally react to this is it just sort of accepted. it's considered as normal as you know all bumping into like a lamppost when you're walking on the street it is normalized because we know it's part and parcel of being a woman it's a survival tactic when you normally something because you know you can stop it so that women and girls can stop it when girls as young as $6.00 and $9.00 are experiencing this you know there's nothing they can do to stop it we would have stopped it if we could so to rationalize you know all we have now the getting into swirled we just started ignoring it or acknowledge that it is something that is going to happen and we can't do anything about it the girls and women that i speak to him through chen tell us all the time about the fact that when they when they're discussing things like domestic abuse sexual abuse and assault when you start

talking more and more and you start discussing trauma and healing these little stories start coming out in a longer and deeper discussion but this is this is kind of like a community of trauma over the course of our lives and it's almost never discussed unless it's asked upon because of the fact that it is so common right well thank you thank you very much for helping us understand the situation at a bit better thank you very much kara hussain founder of changing us there from manchester. at the news hour live from london still to bring you on the program at least 8 people were killed when a powerful car bomb ripped through afghanistan's harappa province. protesters are fighting back against security forces despite an ever growing body count and then later in sport the outcome of sailings america's cup remains too

tight to call and he will be here but that story. now to jordan the health minister has resigned after at least 7 patients died because of an oxygen outage at a hospital treating coronavirus patients at tara bay that said he was morally responsible for the incident and nationwide medical emergency has now been declared to make sure that the hospitals are not affected or a burden manning reports. and show outside assault hospital in a one hour cut to vital oxygen supplies has been blamed on the deaths of patients. it affected intensive care the turnitin and crew the virus was a backup supply a ride too late for some. remote but my father and mother are at the coronavirus

isolation zone inside the hospital by coincidence i was inside the hospital when suddenly the oxygen was cut we are starved who said they had run out of oxygen and that they are waiting for a truck for more supplies we received assistance from the civil defense some of them were inside the hospital and they provided oxygen cylinders and then started to resuscitate patients among them my parents. security forces have been caught in preventing anyone unauthorized from entering the hospital. these people have no choice but to wait for nice. and has a. there was an oxygen outage and there were no measures to prevent this it is known that in all jordanian hospitals there are motors available just in case electricity goes down even before the crown a virus outbreak when there are surgeries at hospitals there is always spare equipment but here there was an oxygen outage. i gave my father

c.p.r. 3 times and twice to my mother i called the director of the hospital at 1030 the isolation ward has only one doctor and 2 nurses to serve 50 to 60 patients this is unfair. the fallout was swift health minister nothing here obeyed that resigned. and king abdullah arrived turn mixed reception from crowds at the hospital who immediately ordered the hospital director to also resign parliament to set up a special committee to investigate and prime minister bush. says there is no justification for what happened. the government and only the government takes full responsibility for this very painful incident will not result excuses or justifications about what happened what happened was horrific so it is impossible to deny or to escape responsibility for the death of one jordanian due to these

failings is an acceptable. but there are people here who say the hospital was understaffed and ill prepared and many are asking why a failure like this went unnoticed until it was too late nor about the money al-jazeera. now there's growing concern over the devastating surge in corona virus cases in brazil countries recorded more than 2000 deaths for 3 consecutive days now with hospitals reaching capacity authorities say the upward trend in cases could cause the collapse of the entire hell. caste system leading to even more deaths brazil has recorded more than 11000000 cases and 275000 deaths almost 100000 of those fatalities or registered this year governors and health officials a desperate for more vaccines 12000000 doses have been administered that's only about 6 vaccinations for every 100 people want to have reports on this now from rio

de janeiro aside for sore eyes a couple of empty beds waiting for couvade 19 patients and enough professionals to welcome them but the illness too to give out a hospital in the seaside town of money is an exception in most of brazil the health care system is on the brink of collapse as the corona virus is spreading and claiming lives at a new normal rate. as a person there we're seeing an absolute of infections and deaths everywhere partly because people have stopped respect and social distancing last month's carnival was counselled but that didn't keep brazilians from partying without masks. doctors in this intensive care tell us they're admitting a greater number of younger patients than a year ago beds are scarce but so are vaccines in rio de janeiro diana finally had to wait in line to get her mother admitted. think beso is

a spit on there were 5 people ahead of her personally she was able to wait but i'm sure that many others who were in the more critical condition didn't make it mass inoculations could have been a light at the end of the tunnel but president. downplayed the pandemic and delayed the acquisition of vaccines as a result governors and mayors have decided to take matters in their own hands the city of medicare for example just announced it will buy 400000 doses of the russian vaccine enough to knock you late its entire population if you're going to get all. my day we can't even count on the numbers the federal government gives us at the beginning of march the health ministry said it would buy 48000000 vaccines then it reduced the number to half at this right brazil will finish the 1st round of vaccinations and i pull may next year by then new variants will be circulating which may be immune to the vaccines we have now. poorest states and cities with

larger populations will have more difficulties in fighting the pandemic on their own but doctors and scientists warn that if no action is taken brazil will represent a threat to themselves and others. neighbors many countries in latin america almost all of them except a couple and some countries are doing better in the neighborhood but if the situation in brazil continues to be serious like this then the neighboring countries will be affected and it's not about the neighboring countries but it could go even even even beyond. the fear is that mutations more curt at a much faster rate outpacing the vaccines and spreading to the rest of the world. al-jazeera rio de janeiro. julio ponce is an

epidemiologist specializing in what talented dater he joins us now from sao paolo so we had a few days where the number of deaths have been recorded at more than 2000 in the country but those are just the official records the actual toll is likely to be higher isn't it and so we're probably how close are we to seeing the peak of this in brazil. good evening larry thanks for having me on the show. when we are talking about registry data we have to understand that there is a lag between the actual death and the numbers being sent into the centralized system by the national registry health secretary's so at the moment since we are seeing that the numbers are increasing there is a greater. their estimate so when you are actually closer to 2502600 deaths a day the freshest numbers have just come out about 15 minutes ago and it's

1986 new deaths over that over the past 24 hours but of course we have to remember that today is a saturday so those numbers usually come in low on the weekends we are in my opinion very far from the peak because we have been seeing a slowing down of the trend or curbing of the curve so far if hospital capacity is reaching a critical level and that includes intensive care units doesn't it how is that going to affect the death toll if people inside hospitals patients inside hospitals are not being cared for and then people that need to go to hospital are being turned away. well we have seen a situation similar to that in my now about one month 2 months ago people who were presenting to the hospitals with coronavirus symptoms simply didn't have enough i.c.u. beds or oxygen to to be able to be saved so the thing is why didn't the system is

at capacity we start losing patients that we could actually save and when the system is under a call apps or over 100 percent capacity so patients are being taken in and being. put into beds that are not fully equipped to take care of them what actually happens is we are turning away trauma victims people who suffer heart attacks and people who could otherwise be saved because of course it's just a single health system and if it is under collapsed and all attention is geared towards the coronavirus we are going to see higher death toll not just by this disease but overall mortality what happens if the health care system totally collapses and how close might we be to that's an aria. well unfortunately we are already very close about half of the capitals of the states here in brazil already

over 95 percent capacity to have reported but they are over 100 percent capacity so they are taking in more patients than they can actually handle i feel that if we keep on this trend and if you don't do strict lock down measures we are going to see more people dying and it's going to take a while and it's going to take very strict popular mash measures of keeping people in their homes and making sure that there is lower mobility of people and of course in driving down the infection rate then we might actually be able to control the virus in the future but those measures take about 2 weeks to be effective so i think what we're seeing now is still the results of 2 weeks back and we are i feel like this week that is coming is going to be even harder than the week we just finished as you say there is a time lag with all the rest of the data is likely to get us thank you for taking time out from your day to speak to us epidemiologist julio ponce training us thank

you. well now at least 8 people have been killed by a powerful car bomb outside a police station in the afghan city of herat that claims of responsibility but dozens of homes and shops were also damaged in this blast controversy reports from the capital kabul. the devastation is everywhere some houses completely demolished others badly damaged with a car bomb ripped through the center of the western city of herat and beneath the rubble dozens of people were trapped in that part of what a lot of taking 6 people out by myself there was no one who could help me take the mickey out of the rubble i was asking others to call the emergency services but when the excavations came and we didn't need them all of them lost their lawyers. residents say after the explosion streets were blocked by security forces and searching for survivors was difficult dozens of the wounded were taken during the

night to hospital women children and members of the afghan security many remain hospitalized and it's feared the death toll could rise there's been an increase in the number of civilian casualties in afghanistan since the start of the latest peace talks between the government and the taliban in september according to the un more than 3000 civilians died in 2020. urban centers like that out have been spared big attacks despite the increasing violence across afghanistan the taliban's leaders agreed to stop bombing main cities under the deal they signed last year with the united states. afghan president a shotgun he condemned friday's attack and openly blamed the taliban but many afghans say the government has failed to provide adequate security more general

never imagine oh my god i don't expect anything from this government if this government has issues with the taliban and if the taliban has issues with the government they should fight each other but not us not the people or the poor people who are trying to feed their children are the ones getting killed now the united states and the united nations are pushing for the acceleration of the peace talks that have stalled in doha the afghan government has agreed to take part in upcoming summit in russia and turkey has called continue for a cease fire from both sides for the contrary al-jazeera. now about $200.00 people including several prominent opposition figures have been arrested in the russian capital moscow at a meeting of independent minister pulled deputies police raided the meeting shortly after it began they detained the participants for taking part in an event run by a so-called undesirable organization organizer of the former saying the kremlin is trying to intimidate the opposition politicians before the parliamentary elections

a 6 right no one has been charged over the killing. and in jordan the health minister has resigned after at least 7 patients died because of an oxygen outage at a hospital treating coronavirus patients in the town of salt tear of a doubt said he was morally responsible for what happened. now to sri lanka where the government is banning the burka and closing more than a 1000 islamic schools in a controversial move the government says the full face covering is a symbol of extremism men often and as reports. the sri lankan government says it's banning the burka to ensure national security. see that and the closing of islamic schools as another way of marginalizing that community in the majority by this country but the minister of public security is unapologetic. it affects our national security directly in our early days muslim women and girls

never wore the burka it is a sign of religious extremism that came about recently we are definitely going to ban it also there are more than 2000 madrassas schools in the country and nobody can open a school and teach whatever you want to the children from ages 5 to 6 all children must study in accordance with the national education policy the wearing of the burqa was temporarily banned in 2019 after the bombing of churches at easter by allegedly islamic militants killed more than 250 people. activists and the decision to make the band permanent is actually not a surprise. justice minister who is muslim hinted at it shortly after the government reversed its policy on force cremation of kuwait in 1000 victims following international criticism but there is no doubt this latest move will increase tensions further with the muslim minority in sri lanka the time they are the muslim community has been constantly targeted it's just awful because of the

action in sri lanka they just lift. the ban on the combatant mission policy that's device and now we hear so many other missions us to some form of punishing the muslim community prison go to a bit rajapaksa has also signed new laws under the prevention of terrorism act which will allow anyone suspected of what the government terms extremism to be detained for what it calls rehabilitation for up to 2 years the government has denied its target in muslims but many believe that's exactly what's behind these new moves of an end as colombo. well to me and my wife the demonstrations have been continuing against the military at least 12 people have reportedly been killed the acting leader of the deposed civilian government promised a revolution as he addressed the public for the 1st time more than 70 people have

been killed since the military seized power in man ma more than a month ago tony chang has our report. a wounded protesters rushed through the bank streets of mandalay as police opened fire on protesters in myanmar's 2nd city on saturday. despite the threat of injury or death there seems to be no sign the protest as a being to target. at his home in yangon on the body of c 2 a 37 year old trifle pedler lies under green cover he was shot overnight on friday as the security services trying to disperse protesters who gathered outside a police station and talk at our district the protesters are calling for the release of 3 men arrested in raids earlier in the night. i told my son that we have nothing and will die if we go against them i'd go and shoot back at them if i had a gun now we can't do anything tell me do we always have to keep silent and die why

are we dying for doing the right thing. filmed furtively from an overhead window these pictures show one of those arrests dragged from their homes several men hit and kicked by the police. beatings like this have become commonplace conducted in public for maximum impact. no not all the. soldiers shot at our sit in strike last night and arrested 3 people and we're beating them so all of us residents asked them to release the rest of people at the police station then they fired live rounds at us one died over there and another one died here. but the bullets and beatings haven't deterred the protesters using fireworks and petrol bombs behind makeshift barricades the trying to slow the advance of the army and police and a rapid retreat under the returning volley of tear gas and smoke using speed and

still they scatter and regroup to take another stand even if it means risking their lives and making the ultimate sacrifice tony. now bolivia's former interim president janine and nez has been arrested after allegations of a coup against have pre-disaster ever morale is and as took over as interim leader after morale is fed $29000.00 amid violent protests against his reelection rallies then returned after his movement for socialism party one last october's election party members came and there's a now former cabinet promoted the overthrow of morales which she denies she's facing charges of terrorism sedition and conspiracy. it is an irregular detention because i was never summoned in addition to all that you know that as a former president i have a very particular situation but even with the abuse and the outreach i am. but the bolivian government maintains the arrest is not politically motivated we could all

be going to put up on what we are clear that we are not pursuing any kind of political persecution we are not inventing anything nor intimidating those who think differently these processes are already initiated in our country justice is following its course of that should within the deadlines established by law and we believe that it should continue this way. to us 180 who's embargoed tell us of the allegation is that and as it backs the ousting of formally day one maraniss what's the reaction been to high tension. well yes jenny. was arrested in the early hours of saturday while she was in hiding at house of family members in the central city of tweeny that her arrest didn't come as a surprise since the attorney general office at issued

a warrant to arrest her on friday and 2 other ministers of her government had already been arrested. on friday so it didn't come as an absolute surprise about it obviously is profile and lead dividing believe you can see it shows that the new government. while promising a change in politics in the country and instead seems to be going after its critics and wanting to sort of reopen the rift that. came to the surface during the political crisis of 2019 following the elections then. some people in believing who support or or happy about this decision the attorney general investigating what happened others though believe that there is

truly no every day and. such an important charges like the one of terrorism that is being essentially charges against iran use against other members of her government to the police is also saying that they're going after. officials such as the former head of the police and the former head of the military forces at the time in believing as you say are the arrest warrants have been issued it's not just janine and as does this mark an escalation of hostilities between these 2 forces in the country the leftist administration in the conservative bloc. that definitely seems to be the case now look at both i knew this when she was president and ever more alice both have used in the past the judiciary to go after their critics so in many ways we have seen this happening before in the country

again so when he won the elections last year he insisted that he was going to start a new way of doing politics in the country instead we're seeing once again the government going after its critics the head the latin america and human rights watch. said that in the arrest warrants there really was no evidence of a terrier of a terrorism charge and also the head of the u.n. human rights high commissioner in bolivia also requested that the government make sure that those arrested receive just impartial an independent trial. thanks very much under i'm here to bring us the latest on a story from all the time you know people in 2 states in germany are heading to the polls on sunday for regional elections about 12000000 people can vote and many have

already done that by mail seen as a key test of opinion before september's general election john mccain reports now from the capital ballin. hia is one of the most prominent social democrats prime minister of her home state for the past 8 years and a politician of national importance during the pandemic her message for voters is clear and it's good that i want to mine and there firstly it's about who is managing the crisis safely and reliably secondly he resolutely dares to make a new start after the crisis and thirdly it's about who is shaping a strong future for our state of ryan lamp latinate i'm convinced that is the social democrats her main opposition comes from the christian democrats with just a few percentage points separating the 2 parties in recent weeks a scandal over the procurement of facemasks has engulfed several christian democrats in the federal parliament and although this has had an effect on the
