poor. 19000000 people have gone hungry joining the past year almost twice as much as in 2018 and half of the population is facing food insecurity not knowing when they'll have their next meal many like this couple have moved to the street after the government suspended emergency aid in january handouts started being distributed again this month but they still have not received them nor have their new neighbors. ever filled out this is mr go shoot he had a shop and lost everything during the pandemic like him there doesn't sharing a sidewalk. a pandemic an economic crisis that brought about are far from over with less than 7 percent of brazilians are fully vaccinated it will be a long time before life goes back to normal meanwhile lawmakers are hoping the

talking about variants indoors outdoor was get vaccinated and you will certainly have a degree of protection but there are also troubling signs of covert complacency super sites in ohio texas and florida are closing louisiana is asking for fewer vaccine shipments counties in iowa and kansas are rejecting them and across the u.s. a growing number of americans have missed their 2nd vaccinations call it vaccine hesitancy new data from the c.d.c. as of april finds that 8 percent of americans have not taken their 2nd vaccine from fives or a maternal that's up from 3.4 percent earlier this year for me it would be a note thank you the c.d.c. now recommends that college students be able to get their 2nd dose even if it's at home in another state one dose is partially effective after just one pills we know that you have reasonably good protection 80 percent according to the real world data what we don't know however is is the duration of the protection that's why the

2nd dose is crucial we know after that they can build that build in a body to last for at least 6 months possibly longer the white house is urging americans who are not getting the one shot johnson and johnson vaccine to take that double dose the 2nd dose is critical to getting the maximum level of protection not to mention that 2nd dose is critical in bringing the united states to herd immunity and that would stop the spread of the virus john hendren al-jazeera chicago so on as presidents agreed. not to extend his term and his promising to hold elections ahamed out the lucky fall marjoe had faced a growing unrest on the streets of the capital mogadishu many people have been fleeing the city and residents fear more violence as armed opposition members take up positions. of the federal government of somalia has always believed in still sees dialogue compromise and negotiation and

the return to the discussion table as the only viable options. finally i urge all security agencies to maintain the stability of the capital and the safety of innocent civilians avoiding any actions that may lead to insecurity i also urge the somali people to support the armed forces in this regard catherine saw is live for us in nairobi catherine are there any signs yet that this might go some way to calming the unrest against the government. well some people i've spoken to in somalia saying that the president's message we'll deescalate tensions in the country that have been building up for quite a while people were particularly worried about the involvement of security forces seem to be divided now along political lines on sunday we saw clashes between pro-government and opposition forces which the opposition forces which included

soldiers who left frontline positions in her belly region in the south and came to the capital mogadishu to protest against the extension of the presidential term so we saw those clashes we're being told that some of these opposition forces are taken up positions in neighborhoods yesterday tuesday we saw people civilians fleeing from some of these neighborhoods afraid that there could be an outright conflict if the situation continues without being resolved so the president said that the reason why he's decided to nissin this decision is for the sake of peace and stability in the country he has accused some politicians some political leaders opposition political leaders of using and politicizing the security forces to grab power now we've not had any reaction yet from this opposition leaders particularly opposition presidential candidates some of whom really have been saying that beyond

the president receiving the decision to extend that time in office he needs to step down because he stomach speired in february and catherine the president's promising to hold elections but he canceled previous ones citing security concerns and the pandemic of course i'm confident of people the elections would actually still go ahead. well there is a lot of pressure on both sides to make sure that the election goes goes ahead to make sure that the stakeholders in this electoral process that the regional leaders the president and this actually go back to the talking table in the statement of the president he did say that he has never really been opposed to organizing an election based on september 17th greenman which basically said that because a country cannot hold a popular vote because of the security situation it will have an end eric to

election like has happened previously that means clan leaders clan elders were selected get to choose members of parliament who fought in the present but in the present said the problem was with some leaders of regional states who have been derailing the process the talks of completely filled some of the leaders of the regional states have also accused the president of inciting loyalists in some electoral bodies to work in his favor so there's still a lot of mistrust of there now the president is calling this leaders to come back to the negotiating table without conditions to make sure that the process is jumpstarted it's going to be interesting to see how those tensions between the political leaders are going to be thawed but like i said there's a lot of pressure on them to make sure that this works and now the president says on saturday he's going to go before parliament to ask parliamentarians to revoke. the no they passed to extend the term presidential term and also to have

a popular election within 2 within 2 years and to bring back that direct election that was agreed on on the 17th so that's going to happen on saturday but a lot of people are saying what's going to happen now because this seems that there might be a constitutional crisis the president's stomach. spied in february so is he still going to continue being president so those of things that questions people are asking and hoping to get answers for clarity and scott thanks for bringing us up to date with the situation in somalia live for us from nairobi catherine thank you. and still ahead on al-jazeera. demanding political change in chad a violent protests against military rule and changing course we'll look at how american foreign policy has moved in a different direction during the ball but joe biden's 1st 100 days in office.

to hold elections has been growing unrest in the capital people living flame on that issue and residents fear more violence. at least 5 people have been killed and dozens have been injured during demonstrations in chad protesters are calling for a civilian government after a military takeover following the death of president idriss deby baby son heads the transitional military council and he's calling for dialogue on the dangerous reports from the capital engineman a. new military government this was of the stock they were hoping for one after. the streets. and blocking. the head of this protest is in opposition to military takeover. and if. we had tired of monarchy in chad every just one province to free us from this problem. the response of the security forces

was swift and harsh. military ruler general. appeared on national television to deliver what seemed to be a speech prepared to calm local and international concerns about the military's pension each odd symbol. a lot of these values so dear to our late president will be demonstrated and in shrine and in the framework of an inclusive national dialogue that will be organized during this transition period i will be the guarantor of this dialogue which will not shy away from any subject of national interest according to a precise timetable that the government will be called upon to reveal also said child needs international support to defeat groups tried to destabilize the country . the protests came a week after the military takeover was given some support by the chart a light that has now put france in an awkward position after the crackdown on

demonstrators bicycle or. the french president emmanuel mccall whose attendance at the late president idriss deby funeral was criticizing to smooth out of the military's takeover condemned the use of force on demonstrators the issue is raised quickly let me be very clear i gave my support to the integrity and the stability of chad very clearly an end to men and i support peaceful democratic inclusive transition i do not support a plan of succession and france will never be on the side of those who formed this plan. for now the streets of germany are calm but there are fears it would remain that way with the opposition vowing to keep up its give been against the military regime up at the trees. joke. a magnitude 6 earthquake has hit india's northeastern state and damaged buildings and said many people running from their homes there were no immediate reports of casualties the disaster management agency says it's assessing the situation. a u.s. military ship has fired warning shots at iranian naval vessels in the gulf the u.s.

says the 3 boats came within 62 meters of the u.s.s. firebolt washington says it's the 2nd time it's happened this month that comes as in direct talks are happening in vienna with the possibility of the u.s. rejoining the 2015 nuclear agreement was a pos is executive vice president at the quincy institute in washington d.c. he thinks minor military confrontations will have little impact on the negotiations in vienna unfortunate this is a pattern that we have seen in the past when tensions between the united states and iran have heightened things like this have occurred what the real risk here is that because of a lack of communications channels between the united states and iran an incident like this could escalate out of control precisely because it's who sides are not talking but we've also seen a pattern in which this tends to take place as the 2 sides are getting closer towards some form of an agreement and though progress has been slow it does appear

as if the returns today c.p.a. is within reach within the next couple of weeks as a result of the discussions taking place in vienna but what i think we have seen so far is that. talks in vienna seem to be quite well insulated from the whole set of different incidents not only this but we also seen how these rallies conducted an attack inside the iranian nuclear program we've seen numerous attacks by israelis against iranian ships in a few attacks by the iranians against the israelis and none of these seem to have managed to derail the talks because i think at the end of the the political will on both sides is sufficiently strong to get to an agreement and as a result they won't allow these things to become obstacles. there's been a night of protests in elizabeth city in the us state of north carolina demonstrators are calling for justice after the police killing of a black man an independent autopsy showed andrew brown jr was shot in the back of the head his family says he was no threat to police and he was trying to flee the

f.b.i. has opened a federal civil rights investigation mike hanna has more from washington d.c. . another night of protest in elizabeth city as andrew brown's attorneys released the results of an independent autopsy that confirmed he was shot in the head while attempting to drive away this in fact was a fatal wall to the back of mr brown's here as he was leaving the site tran to evade being shot at buddy's were tickler law enforcement officers who we believe did know them. a straight out execution it's obvious he was trying to get away that's obvious and they go shoot him in the back and here that man is not right that's not right oh my there's also anger and frustration that the police only agreed to release 20 seconds of edited body cam video that showed the killing

law enforcement intentionally edited edited the video to 30 seconds to 22nd 20 seconds and intentionally blurred out the office and guns and showed us what they wanted to show us the f.b.i. has announced it has opened a civil rights investigation into the shooting and this week a judge will rule that the entire body of the incident should be released publicly this videotape is not going to get better with age and you know i think public safety and decency and morality and transparency demands that the police begin to be forthcoming. a nighttime curfew has been put in place but this is not stop to lose a bit city residents from continuing to express their anger at yet another police shooting. mike hanna al-jazeera washington well as promised president joe biden has taken us foreign policy in his decidedly different direction than his predecessor did during his 1st 100 days in office biden has been conciliatory with traditional

allies confrontational with longstanding rivals and cautious and some of the thought toughest issues facing his white house are visitors diplomatic editor james baines reports. on the afternoon of his inauguration president biden reversed the america 1st policy of his predecessor signing an executive order starting the process of rejoining the paris climate deal the u.s. opted back into the world health organization and the u.n. human rights council the new u.s. president for filling his campaign promise to reengage with the world and bind his country again to its traditional allies. with its adversaries though relations have deteriorated in an interview president biden called the russian leader vladimir putin a killer and amid growing tensions for a time over 150000 russian troops were massed on the border with ukraine. i'm also

back underway in vienna. on afghanistan it was only 2 weeks ago the president biden signaled he'd pull u.s. troops from the country but the plan to get the taliban around the table to negotiate with the afghan government now looks very shaky. a former obama administration official who worked with many of those now running u.s. foreign policy says one place is more important than any other in their decision making biden knows that in the congress he's got a slim majority in both houses he's got to work hard to retain those and that is why even when it comes to foreign policy the domestic agenda trumps and he's looking at you know all of these issues whether it's afghanistan whether it's the challenge in central america with migration how these are going to impact in key congressional districts in key states so unfortunately all politics

is local including foreign policy in other words in determining his international agenda president biden is still putting the immediate political calculations in america 1st james by al-jazeera at the united nations. and this is al-jazeera these are the top stories india has seen his worst day so far from the corona virus with nearly 3300 more fatalities taking the official told pos 200000 but the actual number is thought to be much higher hospitals are running out of beds medical supplies and oxygen and as a thought on him has the latest from new delhi.
