offices stay alert for floods and landslides because of the high intensity of extreme rains indonesia's neighbor east timor was also badly hit and the disaster could have an impact on its efforts to fight cope with 19 like you said child flight as arrived in delhi at 1 o'clock delhi time today with the 1st 24009000 vaccines. just. at the challenge now will be how to roll out the vaccination with the damage to infrastructure as authorities in both countries work to get a sense of the scale of the destruction there feel is the environmental disaster will deepen an ongoing health crisis just to washington al-jazeera jakarta let's speak to bill all the rani who is a representative for unicef joining us from the capital dili thanks for joining us so a unicef chartered flight has arrived in the capital with the 1st vaccines but with this natural disaster now underway how big a setback is this for the vaccination campaign. well thank you for having me.

well so far and what we're seeing is that we have more than 2000 households that have been impacted and 10000 people that have suffered from from the 21 casualties so far including 6 children. with the government together great. partners such as unicef has a national quote 19 vaccine deployment plan in place and so far you know what what we're doing in addition to providing services to those who've been impacted you know and so i think the men starting tomorrow and what the sector or directed needs assessment to get that unit in cities and that will give us a clear idea about the impact so far so far staying to our car get all. the government has maintained that day to start they can start and get daily and then spreading to different parts of the country what about the health system how

with quit at this point to be able to deal with the vaccination drive. well you know since has lead into stablish meant a fortune system to store vaccines and also to transport court 19 vaccine. from one place to another place so the central warehouse which was initially damaged by these grants we were able to get it partners and the government do to fix it now we have a lot of backup generators in place as well and the plan is that we will you know that i'm going to stick in a lot of finished to make sure that the public 19 vaccination goes that goes ahead as planned including the development of for reasonable grouses in other parts of the next day which would have you know reach to that are the population as well so

so far despite. the unfortunate challenge. flags and the landslides we still have mannish to have the capacity to administer the 1000 vaccines in addition we've also trained the health. officials that the national and the local level together with our partners. and so the capacity is there and the systems that then place and we're hopeful that we'll be able to go ahead with the plan there was a. shy and recent cases of coal they had 19 how vulnerable is the country remain to the coronavirus pandemic what's your assessment of it. you know unfortunately these sorts come at a time when the country was already as you mentioned struggling with the rise and fall of 1000 cases and that has definitely put

a dent to our efforts. it's too early to say what we would be backed off the floods and record is testament will be able to give us a cleaner idea. but of course you know all of this has led to a lot of people trying to find shelters you know you. have these facilities that acquisition facilities are. women and children and it's really hard who you know. sort of meant to this social distance for example. because people are right now struggling you know to save their lives from from the flight so it's still yet to be seen you know what will be there and back but it may fortunately you know may need to increase in the cases but as i just said it's i didn't early to predict ok thank you so much been alderaan you for giving us

that update from east timor thanks for having me. well jordan's former crown prince hamza has said in a newly released voice recording that he would disobey orders by the army to not communicate with the outside world after he was put under house arrest on sunday the jordanian government said it's courted what it calls a malicious plot to destabilize the country the hospital other of king abdullah says he's being punished for speaking out against corruption. the situation is a little bit difficult all the gods of left in the chief of staff threaten me on behalf of top agencies officials were recorded his words and send them to my family and. the country just in case something happened and now waiting for their action i'm not going to escalate but i will not abide myself by their orders to stay at home not to use to eat or not to be in contact with people and not to see my family but i've been told by the chief of staff is not acceptable under any circumstances

so i'm still waiting for this matter to be sorted out but we have the toss of a name for us standing by in amman to talk us through the layers of elephants and tell us what this audio recording suggests. what this audio recording suggests is that what the government on sunday described as a conflict a familial conflict that would be resolved between king abdullah and his half brother prince hamza in a direct phone call is morphing into 2 camps and the division between the 2 camps those who supports king abdullah and the opposition and those who support what prince homs is saying what you hear in that phone call is defiance a little bit of fear and anger bear in mind that prince homs has been echoing the frustrations of the opposition here talking about alleged widespread corruption within the government talking about malfeasance and what he called incompetence by

the government in terms of implementing what he's believes are failed economic policies what you're hearing from the government is that prince hum's and his associates conspired with foreign entities to destabilize jordan but we don't know what foreign entities the government is talking about as far as we know prince hamza has not been charged with anything and the government as of sunday was maintaining that he has not been placed under house arrest arrest so again this reporting at least on the part of prince hums a is a way to control the narrative share his side of the story and if there was any doubt already prince homs i was extremely popular in jordan viewed as pious modest forging tight relations with the tribes and really echoing the sentiments of the opposition here these recordings are only serving to make him even more popular among a segment of the population and so i wonder if you can just expand

a little bit on what you just touched on and that is some of the anger that some people feel towards the government which has been simmering in jordan for a number of years why is that. absolutely the anger in jordan has been simmering since at least $28000.00 to be clear jordan has a very difficult economy it relies on foreign aid it has a palestinian and syrian refugee population it has been dealing with the terms of an international monetary fund about a $1300000000.00 loan that it's taken and in 2018 the king was forced to implement austerity measures that included raising the sales tax and the income tax and people here went crazy they went to the streets in protest for days they pushed out the prime minister saying we're barely scraping by and you're asking us to pay more in taxes think of the pandemic think of covert 19 basically as pouring or throwing

a grenade on the economy which is already an inferno the restrictions that have been implemented by the government in an attempt to curb the pandemic have only served to anger the public so they're very upset about these restrictions which they believe are wiping out their livelihoods they're very upset about what they believe is widespread corruption and so this is the backdrop so here comes prince hamza who is this is the 1st time at least since king abdullah has taken the throne where you're hearing it from a member of the whale family expressing sort of simpatico sentiments to the opposition and critiquing the monarchy and what the opposition is saying is that this alleged plot that prince hands as being accused of participating in what it really is is part of a playbook implemented by the government to crush dissent even at the highest levels if it's coming from within the royal family analysts say that we do not expect they do not expect that we will hear further from king abdullah but as

you're seeing for a 2nd day in a row we're hearing plenty from peretz ok natasha thank you so much for that update from amman or earlier i spoke to our don and he has a former deputy prime minister he's also the former foreign minister of jordan and he explained why the government is not disclosing much information about the situation. well i think more inclined to believe that majesty probably would look for an amicable solution and they will try to lay these fears of the jordanian people and their apprehensions at this particular time. to rest i believe that in the early days of this theory for a of events there will be of course. lots of speculation lots of guess making especially that the information which is being supplied when when the whole case is that the investigation is being meager and not sufficient to satisfy

the anguish and the eagerness of people to know more well i believe that this particular time this is actually the question which is raising the curiosity of everybody if if the whole situation has been been monitored. then the only reason for not revealing sufficient information at this particular gentil is because they want to investigate more and they don't want to spill more information that may frustrate the investigation cause that but but i believe that in. some people probably may have been invoking and trying to destabilize and move people to the streets to protest protest the current unemployment and unocal of in 1000. picking up and so on and so in a way there is some frustration and the 1000000 is encouraging for frustration so

they don't want this particular time for the bad usage of these circumstances to try to destabilize the country. on to more ahead on the including a recovery operations underway in bangladesh after a ferry and cargo ship. we'll look at how one community in the u.k. is struggling to survive during the coronavirus pandemic. a historic night for one of baseball's biggest stars nearly goes. well india is reporting its biggest daily surge in coronavirus cases since the pandemic began crossing the 100000 mark for the 1st time the majority emerge in the state of maharashtra that's home to india's financial capital mumbai and even curfew is being tightened there on the lockdown will be enforced over the weekend 7

other states are also reporting a steep rise hundreds of infections with virus variants from the u.k. south africa and brazil are being reported on the rise in infections has not stopped politicians however from gathering in large masculist crowds in election rallies like those the prime minister narendra modi has held multiple rallies ahead of the upcoming regional elections health experts are placing their hopes on the vaccination drive but the rollout has been slow only 76000000 indians have received at least one shot in a population of 1400000000 elizabeth has more from new delhi. day on day for the past 2 months they've 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. recorded its highest number of 57 cases on sunday and along with

a handful of state states accounted for most of the cases in the country the other states. and. now here in delhi the cases were full 1000 on sunday that's the highest since last year so promised 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 shop decline and appropriate behavior like wearing masks and social distancing a pandemic and also what he called the lack of effective implementation of containment measures sending medical teams to maharashtra to assess why the situation has remained the worst in the country day of the past year he's also sending teams to the states of punjab and. just 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. and. india that those variants sponsible for the rise in cases they say it is because of people letting their guard down after the numbers sell as much as they did earlier this year. who's an infectious diseases expert and secretary general of organized medicine academic girl who's joining us from mumbai thank you so much for speaking to us and you are saying that the 2nd wave is stronger than the 1st so why do you say that and what are you basing that on. so i'm visiting mumbai. to look for a lot of star and financial capital of india and currently we are in the 2nd phase of the bank david where it is something every day. is turning we have notified almost of people to report a portion of the good descriptions from this team. and this has been for the last

almost a what about month going on like that what we see today is. just a beings on who lives work i'm working it is a couple of weeks of happening to be ended or whatever but the way this has been my deploying the last 2 or weeks have been reported and that's what we see it is all good it why do you think that there has been such a dramatic surge in infections considering that india did go in 2 months off lockdown. lockdown is a not a solution to but we're decided to do security. bernard examines a set of white proto white would do a lot on his dog that probably services but it can get you out of their training. the bears are too young but dinner does so basically. and now what has been yours is part of our side the social impact on people but people don't listen otherwise

so there isn't a lot of these up to somewhat effect going to be but it is not much so it's only some dollar supply barbacoa long don't people understand that this is very serious situation so if you say it not has been done not distance to the word and the hell yes that would put a gap between plus surge and 2nd search only if it is the longest gap we have seen anybody do or ok so what needs to be done then next on the the government in maharashtra as announcing an evening curfew and a lockdown yet another lockdown will be enforced over the weekends from what i understand you saying that's not enough so what would you like to see happen. so basically what we're looking at is a combination of m.t.v. and m.t.v. is not ever going to be done it is a music. and that is mostly barter so it probably religion you have nobody used to

look at tiger and to what we have seen up all wrong. it must get almost nearly 100 percent that india is masking it only 40 percent i'd have thought they would not use the mosque probably did not get what most property so busking is most important to demand i don't make this a government. debt dragon but there is also the barter when you are diagnosed cases you have to get done and these vaccination that we were doing that once vaccines are going live well then we can begin to circumcise erection is dollars going to which is i believe well if it is going to be going to towards others if i don't it is not going to we're going to go to a 3rd which is happening and we'll leave we know you just got more of the m.t.v. then we get a good day to not be got to be otherwise we are going to have a major problem ok thank you so much for speaking to us from mumbai thank you and investigations underway in bangladesh after a ferry and cargo ship collided at least 27 bodies have been recovered so far and

several more are believed to be missing police say the ferry was packed with people who were travelling ahead of new coronavirus restrictions alexy o'brien reports. on the banks of the sheet a luck sherida desperate families waited for news. that is the alice past their anger. on sunday look i'll go to the pentagon loved the ferry capsized last night but it's yet to be retrieved was there such a delay. the small ferry had been carrying about 50 people when it collided with a cargo vessel on sunday night police say it was dreadful most kilometers before it sank and the cargo vessel fled the scene the ferry was finally pulled from the water on monday 18 hours later rescuers say they were delayed by bad weather and have run one time i appeal to the prime minister with please let us get the

bodies of my father and mother. in the hours that followed body after body was brought ashore including children. were found still inside the ferry said to be packed with people rushing to get back to their hometowns. the government had announced a week long lockdown to counter a spike in corona virus cases there were more than 7000 new infections reported on sunday the highest in a single day under the restrictions which are now in force all domestic travel services are suspended that seen a rush on buses ferries trains and flights hundreds die in ferry accidents every year in bangladesh blamed on badly maintained vessels poor safety standards and overcrowding witnesses report the capsized ferry was carrying too many people well thorazine though believe the cargo vessels crew was negligent and say they're

looking into what happened but maybe here hold out little hope for answers. critics argue investigations are often promised but rarely followed through alexia brian al jazeera. and so darn a local medical group says at least 18 people have been killed and 54 others injured in tribal clashes and west are for the clashes began between members of the muscle that's an arab tribes on saturday and escalated on sunday and monday morning . the incident is the latest in the troubled region since the signing of a peace agreement late last year and the withdrawal of u.n. peacekeepers in egypt says a new round of talks with ethiopian sudan over a disputed dam on the nile is their last chance for an agreement the african union is mediating 3 days of negotiations in the democratic republic of congo ethiopia says the grand renaissance dam is crucial to its development but egypt and suits on

the project will cause water shortages negotiations have failed to reach an agreement have a morgan is joining us from khartoum so him will this time around be any different . well so far it seems like there is no progress progress between the 3 parties between sudan if european egypt all 3 sides went into the meeting holding certain positions with sudan and egypt wanting to expand the mediators to include the united states the united nations and the european union that is something that if you are says it does not want to see happening it wants the african union alone to be the sole mediator in these negotiations over the ground if you renaissance them they say that they believe african solutions should be found to this african problem and that the african union would be best able to understand the necessity of the down 4 if you appeal which it says will help its population and will help lift its population out of poverty and benefits millions of its people now sudan is

quite confident it says that this will impact more than half of its 40000000 population and egypt says it will affect about 90 percent of its over 100000000 population so egypt and sudan have been very insistent they've been saying that they want this mediation to expand but they also want to make sure that if he does not start the 2nd phase of filling which it says it will do by july without an agreement the biggest point of contention between the 3 sides is the issue of operating the dam how much water should be released annually how to define long term droughts which will impact downstream countries of sudan and egypt but what they really are concerned about is having a legally binding agreement they say that they want any agreement any deal that they reached between the 3 countries should be legally binding and that it should be something that if you are sticks to in the coming years as the dam is being operated and failed sounds like there are still a lot of sticking points that remain worth should we look out for next when it comes to the talks. well all sides are saying that this could be the final

opportunity especially because the 2nd feeling that if you are says is bound to happen in the coming july will be about 3 times more than the previous filling the previous filling was about 4900000000 cubic meters this one is expected to be 13500000000 cubic meters and so the biggest concern is what happens next now all countries are saying that they don't want to they don't want to start a water war they don't want to fight over the resources of the nile between 3 countries because that would be devastating for all 3 countries but the biggest concern right now is how will they move forward if the african union does not find a path forward and if the united states and the united nations and the e.u. are not included in this what's happened so egypt is saying that they want to make sure that an international mediation would be able to bring a global perspective will be able to bridge the gap that has been widening between the 3 sides now sudan is saying that it's worried about the impact of its farmlands

along the miles but it's also concerned about its electricity output as well from the hydroelectric dams should the ground or in a zones them be operated without a deal so what to look for is how they go on forward to bring more negotiated more mediators into this negotiations that have been happening for over a decade now and that is yet to reach a deal between the 3 sides ok i have a morgan thank you for that update from her to. check on the weather here is rob. the cause of the flooding in the landslides in eastern indonesia under these massive cloud is a developing tropical sarkar which is still producing heavy rain but it's moving away from eastern indonesia leaving a dr picture behind the on that is a scattering of wet weather big showers which worst recently showed themselves in print but i see it up through southern thailand including bangkok and then me and and there's a another rush developing in northern borneo but those are the 3 areas and you see that named storm just beside my head is it wanders through the water it will end up

in western australia in a couple of days' time the flood risk from this thing this love you like off the coast of queensland is not as great as it was it could still produce some heavy showers in southern queensland and new south wales where of course a significant flooding a week or 2 ago but in the risk is that great to be answered and it's moving offshore these days of the water the weather in new zealand is looking lovely it's not quite as warm choose as has been the case on monday we dropped a few degrees but look at this wall to wall sunshine misleads a bit of a cold breeze coming through the south but this hardly a big surprise i'm about to get the on wednesday you'll be thinking will it ever end well course it will be. still ahead on the news hour malaysia's former prime minister begins an appeal against his conviction over a multi-billion dollar corruption scandal. disco faced i was hit by the bell refugees who fled violence in west africa recalled their harrowing

will he be saying. well looking ladies at that i would in a sort of face time looking situation last week people were out together in small groups doing was next week from april the 12th hospitality reopens to customers outdoors and later in may that may be some resumption of international travel and the government. trying to figure out how to keep up the momentum with this unlocking and do so safely specifically to avoid jeopardizing the huge success of the vaccine road so how do you get people back into venues large and small whether they're pubs or concert halls or sports stadia do you do that by operating a sort of covert passport system something that gives evidence of whether you've had a vaccine or or whether you've had a negative test or whether you've got covert antibodies the sort of thing that sends shivers up and down the spines of libertarian m.p.'s and civil liberties groups and the sort of thing that the government said it had no intention of doing

well it seems and we'll hear more from mr johnson later that the government is intending something along those lines he'll talk about trials planned for a coded certificate of that type and along with that why did a widening of the testing regime with as you said 2 lateral flow tests offered to every person in england every week from friday to try and expand testing both of those initiatives though have already received advance criticism on the covert passport front from people who say look the moment you give away freedoms like that to the government it's very hard to get them back and on the testing front from those who say the government is still not doing enough to encourage and incentivize people to isolate if they receive a positive test and if people aren't isolating efficiently and in sufficient numbers then no amount of testing is going to help and you know we do expect the prime minister to confirm how international travel can resume as well.

well i think you give an idea of how that's going to happen look travel is probably the biggest threat to the vaccine rollout now because of the fear of importing variants of the virus new mutations the virus specifically the south african variant so-called b 1351 it's known as with a higher resistance to available vaccines it's prevalent in europe in a number of countries in europe currently suffering through 3rd waves so there's worry about that the coverage road map says the travel route will resume no earlier than may the seventy's he may give some clue as to whether that is likely to hold and he'll outline a traffic light system whereby destinations will be grouped in green light like red light categories with differing levels of constraints quarantine constraints whether it's in a hotel or at home or no constraint just with testing and so on again scientists have already given their verdict on this they're very worried they say it's a potentially leaky system it won't necessarily hold the variance at bay there are too many exceptions and exemptions and not enough testing at the borders and they

say it's got to be a hugely flexible system to be able to allow countries to be moved quickly to between those categories flexibility is not something we've seen an awful lot of during the pandemic so i think there's a real worry there ok john a whole thank you so much for that update from london poverty in the u.k. has had a record high the latest government data shows 4300000 people are living below the poverty line and that was before the current virus pandemic even began or charities are warning the situation is getting out of control anderson runs visited rotheram an english town that's been classed as one of the poorest in northern europe. steel manufacturing made rather of the devise of it now would go near to destroying hope in this town on the skyline looms the threat one company one decision without government money hundreds of jobs could go kovi it has already ripped into a weak local economy and you never have to look far to find
