the day it disappeared once again. the apolo of cars. on the jersey are. investigating the use of the force the. more than 400-1000 deaths are recorded in brazil and one day and other latin american nations are still struggling to curb the viral spread. kind of there i'm the stars here 10 this is al jazeera live from also coming up some challenges remain a step in the right direction as well as trying to salvage the 2015 new kid dale.

a relentless crackdown in myanmar reports that once again security forces are killing protesters across the country. and the desperate search for survivors in indonesia and east timor and the aftermath of the devastation site. oh we begin in latin america where cases of credit 1000 continue to climb rapidly and deaths are soaring across the region the worst affected nation remains present it's recorded a staggering new daily death toll more than 4000 people in a single day only the u.s. and peru have previously reach that threshold shot a better coverage. has raced across cities in brazil desperate to slow the death count from covert 19 but it's a losing battle with record figures 4195 deaths in just one day

brazil is now considered the global if you seem to of the pandemic contagious new variants have overwhelmed hospitals with hundreds dying as they wait for treatment their actions have reached a plateau it seems but deaths have been started climbing so it seems like we are still in for about 2 more weeks of increasing deaths. some symmetries have been holding nighttime burials to deal with the growing numbers brazil's death toll of 337000 sick and only to the united states you know what. we should have had stricter laws like in some other countries it would have been hard for people at that time but we would have had a much lower number of deaths so i think the president job also narrow his pushback against mosque wearing in lockdown last week he swore in a new health minister his 4th since the pandemic began brazil was also slow to secure vaccines so far listen to him to seem to brazilian have received the stores

although. there are still a lot of people to be vaccinated so we have to go faster act faster if they'd acted fast for the 1st stage of the pandemic there wouldn't be the states right. argentina also marked a record more than 20000 new coded 1000 cases in 24 hours its highest daily count the government responded with tougher restrictions argentina's president fernando is isolating after testing positive and will say it is residents say life must go on. we have to go to work there is no other choice we have to go out and well we're going through a spike many cases many cases chile is also seeing a surge in cases the government reacted by postponing elections originally scheduled for this weekend. we are confident and will work with no rest so that on the 15th and 16th of may sanitation conditions will be more favorable

for elections so that the people's health is not at risk and we have a high level of participation. a moving picture across much of latin america but in colombia a story of survival 104 year old carmen hernandez was discharged from hospital after 3 weeks it is the 2nd time she has beaten the virus shelob ellis. well now some more concerns over the astra zeneca vaccine oxford university has poorest testing that shot on children pending an investigation into rare blood clots and adults who have received the jab now the university says it's just a precautionary measure and there are no safety concerns in the pediatric clinical trial more than 200 children aged 6 to 17 were taking past the european medicines agency is due to announce its findings into any link between the vaccine crossing later on wednesday well it's now speak to china how is outside

a vaccination center for us in london now john all eyes i imagine on the u.k. is medicines regulators as it sides whether the rollout of astra zeneca as even safe to continue. well both of those regulators as you say conducting their own reviews and we await their findings some suggestion that the regulator here in the u.k. the m h r a may update its guidance today or tomorrow to exclude the rollout of the astra zeneca vaccine among younger adults we know about that oxford trial that was halted on tuesday night the even oxford saying they had no safety concerns they've not seen any adverse effects in that trial involving children and the job they're doing this out of an abundance of caution pending the regulators review but also on tuesday a senior member of the european medicines agency did tell a new tally in newspaper he believed there was

a link albeit that the precise cause of blood classic clotting was as yet unclear now the facts as we know them in the u.k. at least are these more than 80000000 doses of the astra zeneca have been dispensed there have we now know been 30 reports of this rare blood clotting condition among whom 7 people have unfortunately died but the important thing to note here is that that is an infinitesimally small percentage of those people do have received the job albeit apparently the risk skewing towards young people and women so this is about balancing risk if you're an older person more at risk from covert will than taking that small risk is a risk worth taking but if you're a young person who is less vulnerable when the odds are not so convincing this is what the medicines regulators away up at the moment so returning given cost and the just sticks around the stab this is really become central to vaccination campaigns and so many different countries how might all of this latest bad press that we're

seeing now that. it's bound to be another blow to the credibility of the astra zeneca job it already took a severe pounding last month in europe a number of european countries halting their rollout until the european medicines agency broadly decided that the benefits of taking it out weight the risks said as did the w.h.o. but on top of that of course it will be another blow to overall confidence in the vaccine. which is crucial of course to widespread take up of vaccines generally that'll do or it could also remember the astra zeneca job in particular is of great use in wider distribution across the developing world it's cheap to make it's very easy to handle and to store the company is handing it out at the moment. at a cost basis a nonprofit cost only basis that has why did pick asians as i said globally and

there will be concerns not just about confidence but about the global rollout as well if indeed more bad bad evidence comes out about this vaccine india china hell there outside of vaccination center for us in london thanks so much john well just one more note on that astra zeneca vaccine south korea has just become the latest country to suspend vaccinating anyone under 60 years old with that shot while the international rescue committee is now warning that countries in conflict are seeing a significant rise in $1000.00 cases and deaths now in the month of march there have been 5 times as many cases in the northeast syria and yemen daily new infections more than tripled the agency blames more contagious and more deadly variants the crisis is only magnified when years of war and violence have already crippled health care systems it's issuing an urgent call for wealthier countries to donate excess vaccines india has again reported

experts just said that tanzania cannot anymore be isolated from the international community because it's not an island but she also said that the government will not accept just everything that is coming from the outside world that's why she said she's constituting this panel of professionals of from tanzania to advise the government on the way forward. i'm planning to form a committee of specialists research covering 1000 more widely they have to find out if these remedies suggested across the world will help us they should look into it with expertise and in-depth and then they can advise the government either refuse or agree but not without any scientific research. a change in direction is not just about corona virus she appears to be very keen to mend relations with the international community this relations had been severely strained during the reign of the late has and michael wu so when she pointing her new. foreign affairs

minister. was key in heinz truxton's telling the minister to engage wisely with international partners to fix the relations that had gone sour she also has instructed the information ministry to allow newspapers. online radios bloggers that had been banned from reporting in the country to allow them to operate within the confines of the know but there are some scattered skeptics opposition leader to do list and for example a high say that it is too premature to gauge just stands how presidency is still very young but many people are spoken so to say that this really is a good start. now moving on and iran's president has hailed progress in these latest efforts to revive the 25th. hassan rouhani has called tuesday's talks in

vienna a new success for his government 2 working groups were set up to discuss the possible lifting of u.s. sanctions as well as terence renewed commitment to the deal. taws as a new and fresh chapter started yesterday if a party meeting america shows seriousness and honesty we want to nothing else we just want enough determination and sincerity if they show such behavior we can negotiate within a short period of time within 4 plus one countries if necessary. well also on tuesday an iranian ship was attacked in the red sea near the coast of it's still unclear who is responsible as a bank has more now from tehran. well the foreign ministry has been speaking this morning that they've said that this was a logistical support ship used as a base in the red sea and the gulf of aden so it's there to secure shipping lanes and carry out anti piracy measures that's according to the foreign ministry and state t.v.

have said that the savages raney and ship belongs to that ukrainian navy and a mine was attached to it now we know that this ship has been in the red sea for a number of years in fact the u.s. naval institute in 2020 in the report said that it was a covert military ship used by the revolutionary guard now iran denies that saudi arabia have repeatedly criticized its presence in the red sea and some officials under the trumpet ministration accused this ship of being used in aiding. in yemen but there are some in iran who feel that this latest attack against a ship that is used by the military is an attempt to sabotage those nuclear those talks in vienna on the nuclear program president hassan rouhani speaking a cabinet meeting this morning he said that it was a success he boasted about his government's handling of the economy over the last 2 to 3 years in the face of sanctions and what he called an economic war but the context for this is that the presidential elections set to take place in june he's

terminal soon and he doesn't want to be known as a president that resided over a failed nuclear deal and was unable to deliver on his promise of getting u.s. sanctions lifted on iran. well to myanmar now where there are reports of security forces using live fire against protest as once again at least 8 people are believed to have been killed during a raid in the town of kalak and the northwest for more than 2 months now protesters have defied a needful crackdown by security forces to call for democracy more than 580 people have been killed since the military seized power for me an elected leader is true in february. i'm sorry a near total internet shutdown is making it tougher to verify reports of civilian casualties as scott had reports from bangkok and neighboring thailand. because of this bloody crackdown that we've seen right across myanmar over the last several weeks against these protest gatherings as well as the civil disobedience movement

that is because they've been starting very earlier the protesters and obviously the security forces are responding to that to those early morning even predawn sometimes marches so that's probably what we're seeing why the military and the security forces went out so very early and stage this raid in cali no this is an area right along the western border close to the western border with india kind of the northwestern section of myanmar yes we're hearing that several have been killed these are from local media as well as posts on social media that's pretty much the only way you can really get information out of myanmar right now one thing that's even more disturbing about this is that there are there is evidence at least again on social media and local media reporting that there is evidence from some of the wounds by some of those protesters that r.p.g. were used as rocket propelled grenades now these are this shows a uptick in the weaponry used by these security forces so that's very concerning that's you have yet to be confirmed but some local media saying that there are
