. this man's body was pulled from the debris people in the video say he was a teacher. thousands of houses are likely to have been buried under mud after the landslides at least 5 bridges were destroyed and most roads blocked hampering access for search and rescue workers or. we need to work on giving the logistics because this is extreme weather we have to use both we're looking into planes or helicopters we will support the needs of the people their power and communication lines are down making it difficult for authorities to know the extent of the disaster authorities say they're trying to get food masks and other essentials to evacuation centers. i would challenge them on occasion we will try to find other ways to access the area to deliver essentials in neighboring east timor this boarding home for students was one of many buildings destroyed in the floods

witnesses say a 2 year old is among the dead indonesia's weather bureau warns of further to rancho rains strong winds and powerful waves and jessica joins me now from jakarta just got i mean the rescue efforts obviously continuing the death toll rising what are you hearing about how the emergency services are being able to respond to what we're seeing a lot cv screens. well it certainly is challenging so health for these emergency services as they're trying to reach these affected areas we know now that it's not only the region of east flora's which is effective but also the wider region of east near certain garra we've heard from a local government official there who has confirmed that at least 600 houses are impacted but it's likely that the number could actually be much higher we understand that government officials such as rescue workers and military and police personnel are still attempting to reach the island of other nara which is likely to be the worst impacted island among this region now because of the weather

conditions that i mentioned earlier and terms of the tropical low that is creating strong winds and a strong current as well what that means is that it's difficult for rescue workers to reach the island by sea they have mentioned that is that waves are up to 4 to 6 meters high that's making it difficult to bring in that essential aid they do they say that the communities there are in need of food services supplies for babies and mosques and code tests as well we know that in the region of west timor there are evacuation centers operating as well as some of them are holding up to 300 people of course the extreme weather has no respect for international borders and you just touched upon the vaccination rollout all the issues of infection rates during the coverts pandemic east timor is affected big time i mean what's going on.

well that's right i mean since the pen demick began we have had a number of disasters here in indonesia and every time there are these disasters evacuation centers and crowding out those centers becomes an issue that's now an issue that we're seeing in east timor as well authorities on high alert for the potential of crowding at these evacuation centers in terms of the vaccine rollout that there is a potential that there may be some delays as a result of this disaster now 24000 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine arrived on schedule this morning despite the challenges which is a phenomenal achievement for authorities there in east timor now the next challenge is actually administering those vaccines we know that dealey was supposed to be in a state of lockdown to prevent further spread from the capital into all the parts of east timor but as a result of this current disaster that lock down is basically not no longer possible because many people have been evacuated out of the capital and into all the smallest cities so we will have to see the impact of covert 19 the impact of

this disaster in terms of the spread of the virus in not only indonesia but in east timor as well or continue to monitor events with you through the day just to washington the force and kills it. india has recorded its biggest surge in covert 1000 cases with more than 100000 infections on monday the state of maharastra is the worst affected with almost 2 thirds of the country's total cases the state itself has imposed a night curfew and we can lock downs for the very latest we can cross over to the random he's in the capital new delhi really those numbers testing positive increasing at an alarming rate day all day for the authorities in india. the day on day for the past 2 months have gone from an average of around 10000 cases in early february to more than 100000 cases on sunday for the 1st time in the

past year a good model astra recorded its highest number of 57 balls and cases on sunday and maharashtra along with a handful of state states account for most of the cases in the country the other states check the mother for the and. now here in delhi the cases were $4000.00 on sunday that's the highest since last year so prominent in that in the board he held a meeting on sunday to review the situation and he said that the rise was due to what he called the sharp decline in code that appropriate behavior like wearing masks and social justice and use of pandemic fatigue and also what he called the lack of effective implementation of containment measures he is sending medical teams to maharashtra to assess why the situation has remained the worst in the country they of the past year he's also sending teams to the states on job and check the scale and just see why the death rate is so disproportionately high in

those states now punjab has recorded has seen the highest number of cases of the u.k. variant of the corona virus but health officials in and in india maintain. that the variance whether they are from the u.k. brazil south africa or even the double huge and very interesting found in india that those variants aren't responsible for the rise in cases they say it is because of people letting their guard down after the numbers fell as much as they did earlier this year. let's just focus in on the roster that you've sort of touched upon in your 1st answer i mean it's obvious as a major hotspot for the country but with mumbai it's really financial center you know they really want to try and focus in on a city that's so important not just domestically for india but also globally. mumbai is recording its highest number of cases around 12000 so this is the 2nd

biggest city in maharashtra today and that is why the importance of maharashtra has imposed. a lot of restrictions in the state including that my curfew from 8 pm to 7 o'clock in the morning a complete weekend lockdown all morals and restaurants are closed there's a restriction on more than 5 people gathering but we have been looking at pictures from a busy vegetable market in mumbai from monday morning and the crowds a still there and as well as mumbai the rest of the state hospitals are reporting that they are running out of beds and they having a really difficult time with the number of patients that they're having to deal with as well as maharashtra receiving more and more states asking for code negative certificates from people entering from other states the state of mother predation closed its border with maharashtra so we're seeing restrictions and problems to that in the more he spoke about the 5 fold strategy off testing tracing treatment

of vaccinations and also called appropriate behavior and so that's why all over the country from sunday all public hospitals public vaccination centers have to be open 7 days a week to increase the number of vaccinations because india is running behind its own government of vaccination 300000000 people in the 1st 6 months it's inoculated about 79000000 so far q updates with us through the day for the moment elizabeth thank you has been thrown in the force. now jordan's government says it's thwarted what it calls a malicious plot to destabilize the country the half brother king abdullah has been put under house arrest but he says he's being punished for speaking out against corruption but step if the prime minister says principals and other top officials have been under surveillance for some time are abdel-hamid reports. it was talk about the 0 hour to government said that prompted jordan's king abdullah to give the green light for the arrest of more than

a dozen people including best of my wife a former head of the royal court and finance minister he then became part of the inner circle of prince hamza bin has seen to have bred of the king who was also crown prince until he was removed from the role in 2004 jordan's deputy prime minister a minister for he said that beyond a doubt the inner circle of prince hamza were coordinating with foreign parties and opposition abroad a plot to destabilize the country where. the state intelligence with already has been closely monitoring activity from his highness homs a surely for some bizarre but some of the lower and others whose movements were aimed at undermining our stability and security the surveillance intercepted movements including communication with foreign sides on a so-called 0 hour to trigger measures aimed at undermining else to belittle shortly after the arrests prince hamza appeared in a video saying he had been put under house arrest for bit in from communicating

with the outside world a claim later denied by jordan chief of staff the prince also took the president did move after publicly criticizing the leadership of the country i am not the person responsible for the breakdown in governance for the corruption and for the incompetence that has been prevalent in. our governing structure for the last 15 to 20 years and has been getting worse by the year. i'm not responsible for the lack of faith that people have in their institutions their response to the former crown prince had been sidelined since his removal from power but he is said to have been forging ties with this gruntal tribesman and the loosely organized opposition known as head a that has been calling for mass protests so far the government hasn't revealed the scope of the alleged plot but some say it's unlikely it was aimed at directly overthrowing king abdullah you can't have

a coup or lesser security people involved so i don't think and you know this whole idea of a plot there is just not true there is there is clearly. an internal issue that has come out in the public and i think in a way it has turned out not in the favor of some of the people who began this process of arrests it's not clear what will happen to the former crown prince king abdullah said to favor an amicable solution for the sake of the royal family and the stability of the country there are still many questions that remain and answers the government says it will reveal all details in due course but if anything recent events reveal deep divisions within the royal family of a country considered a beacon of stability within a turbulent middle east. but at that hammett al-jazeera. well still ahead here on al-jazeera malaysia's full prime minister begins an appeal against his conviction
