was happening was that hospitals required patients to have a positive test result so that they could be admitted in any of their wards or health care facilities designed specially for covert patients so now if you believe that you or any family members are positive or are suspect cases you will be admitted in a suspect board and of course this is a welcome step for many of the families there because as we have been reporting the testing system is heavily strain just so hard to come by you know the results are taking a long time and you know people's health if it deteriorates faster then you get a result now you know that you will get adequate care and of course is not deserving there is like delhi being hit it's right across the border and in rural areas too. oh yes of course and we're seeing a lot of data coming in from rule areas showing how bad the situation is this time

around for example if you compare the data of the 2nd wave versus the 1st period we're seeing that caseload as well as death toll have increased 4 times in these areas i mean we've been reporting so much of rural and urban india and how the health care system has been pushed to a brink but in rural areas 6 remember it's heavily medically underserved villages barely have primary health care facilities absolutely none too few ventilators so this this really quite dropping of cases and the death toll is really worse of that that we're seeing right now or probably with the time being thanks very much a problem too and you don't think you. well families emperor being forced to consider burying their loved ones at home and several trees being overrun by surgeon coronavirus death april has been the country's deadliest month since the beginning of the pandemic with one person dying every 4 minutes experts believe the actual death toll between march and april may have been more than 60000 hospitals

could stand launch what analysts say was a well planned military operation while on the same day this was happening in the taxi capital to john by a russian defense minister sergei sure go meeting his tactic and killed his counterparts at a meeting of the collective security organization that's led by russia that seems to say something either about the complicity of russia or relative remove of russia from what's going on in central asia or maybe some other sinister interests being played out in moscow and that's the $1000000.00 question a statue of lenin in the cutest capital bishkek the soviet union is no more but russia remains both kyrgyzstan and tajikistan's number one ally and rewards them if they do what moscow wants kyrgyzstan's relationship with russia has suffered in

recent years analysts say the moscow is unhappy with a decade and a half of political instability including 3 revolutions and some say the kremlin is concerned about the new president leaving too much towards its rival china. president so there was a part of has for many killed is to conciliate story towards to stand after at least $34.00 of the estimated 50 people killed in the fighting were courteous but he needs russia's support to deescalate the situation and help find a last thing solution russia has called for calm and negotiations but some analysts say it's relatively weak response maybe because of what's happening in another of tajikistan's neighbors afghanistan. nato pulling out of afghanistan means the importance of stand for russia is growing as you can stand as russia's 1st line of defense both kyrgyzstan to stand host russian military bases

at one until you can stand as well important because russia understands that have to stand explodes because of spillover from afghanistan then the whole region could follow this doesn't mean that as you can stand has the right to conduct what was a planned military operation on the curator's borders and russia will not outright condemn it the curious flag flies over bishkek but many are wondering how kyrgyzstan until you can stand can reach a last thing solution to their border dispute and whether their mutual ally can or indeed wants to help chance trafford al-jazeera bishkek. plenty more ahead on the news hour including china dismisses concerns of debris from one of its rockets could crash into populated areas of. the u.k. and the e.u. take different paths when it comes to travel as the world struggles to rebuild. its port pincushion support to groups call for the location of the champions league

final to be moved far will be hit with that story. now the space agency say they're uncertain where a large out of control section of a chinese rocket will end up much of the $23.00 tons of remnants from the long march 5 b. rocket is expected to burn up when it reenters the atmosphere but some pieces could fall anywhere on earth aaron brown reports from hong kong. china's space program has traveled a long way very quickly as it races to catch up with other nations but is the rockets and what they carry get bigger so to the debris they leave behind. more than a week ago a chinese long march 5 rocket was launched from heinen island carrying part of the country's 1st permanent space station. after its separation from the

maggio the rocket began to orbit the earth in a lump land trajectory as it slowly lost altitude now a 30 meters section is hurtling towards earth a 29000 kilometers an hour the u.s. military is tracking its progress we don't have a plan to shoot the rocket down our hopeful that that it will land then in a place where. or harm anyone. awfully in the ocean or someplace like that under international guidelines rockets are supposed to return to earth in a country. rolled way but that's not happening this time i'm afraid of the remaining part of the rock it is right now without control but it has its trajectory and it has its old process re entering into the atmosphere and hopefully it will lead naturally without causing any damage or injury china

makes no secret about its space ambitions over the next 18 months at least 10 more launches a planned to support its space station program here on earth cold war politics means that china can cooperate with other countries in space that's because the united states continues to bar china from participating in the international space station also backed by other countries who have fraught relations with beijing right now. china wants to become a major space power by 2030 and has demonstrated this in recent years with visits to the moon the launch of a non crude probe to mars and now the beginnings of its 1st fully operational space station adrian al-jazeera hong kong. well this out of control chinese rocket booster highlights a growing space junk problem according to the european space agency more than half of the 11370 satellites put into earth orbit are still circulating around 4000 of

them are out of use and that's more than 9000 tons of space junk around 23000 objects of debris ranging in size from a smartphone to the space station being tracked but the real figure could be 3 quarters of a 1000000 floating objects mostly less of a centimeter in size but nevertheless potentially damaging now space floor and mitigation and sustainability is not entirely clear at this point but it does make states and private companies accountable for damage this was only ever applied in $978.00 when kind of the receive millions of dollars in compensation after a soviet satellite spread radiating debris across the canadian arctic. well it's a fascinating area of discussion so let's do that with don pollock a who's a professor of astrophysics at the university of work in the u.k. joins us live from coventry in england said on this is a big chunk of rock is not hurtling back to earth at what point will it become

apparent where it's going to hit my neck yes it's certainly interesting problem. there are predictions right now where it's going to hit the areas or so large that it really could hear almost anywhere along its orbital track so the contradictions are somewhere in the new zealand probably a 1000 miles away from new zealand but really that's just an approximate location and it could be anywhere from or from a trade. war to to china itself right so and we would actually know presumably until it's much much closer to entering the atmosphere so people are monitoring it and as the as the monitoring has continued then the arrows have got smaller but even at this 30 each which is possibly a day before the predicted reentry time the errors are still 8 hours plus or minus

8 hours so it really me and it goes around the earth in 90 minutes so you can see that we really don't know because it all depends on the state the atmosphere at that time and and the orientation of the rocket when it hits you atmosphere and things like that so what why is this happening now is that because that you know lots of rockets have got up in space before what why is this happening here so normally when you launch into low earth orbit he's of a booster that doesn't actually turn a sufficient the last week to go into orbit itself so you would launch an hour say from the east coast of the us and the rocket would just fall into the atlantic. it would get would be part of not philosophy to. the satellite put that into all of it but in this case this rocket is a big rocket as you said it is 30 meters long by nearly 6 meters wide so it's quite a big rocket. that's just this part that's coming down the multiple that is the

payload. but in this case it was launching a large part for the 1st part of the chinese space station and so it had to have to be a big rocket to get that large part into orbit and for whatever reason it managed to attain just about the last the going to war with itself but the orbit it's reached is a very little shuttle that and so what that means is that it ends up brushing into the atmosphere through a part that will bit which slows it down slightly slightly and so consequently the orbiter carries quite quickly right now in terms of risk given that 70 percent of the earth is ocean and quite a lot of it is wilderness there's relatively minimal risk to urban areas i suppose or where people live but it doesn't get well there's always a risk coming it's not playing the lottery. any people play the lottery because i

have the going to win in this case you could you could get hit by this but it's really unlikely it's probably in fact is less likely that anyone will be injured anyone in particular will be injured the minute the lottery. i think last year we just explained last year there was a similar event well 18 ton rocket reentered it went over the states and landed in the atlantic. right ok now this we talk about leave these pictures of space junk out there at the maybe something like 27000 other bits of space junk out there what can be done about that because there's any could be more more added especially now because space programs seem to be developing all over the world well i think we have to be we have to be clear about what we're talking about in your segment you talked about one centimeter to every one centimeter piece should piece size 33 might not seem like a problem in fact there's possibly up to

a 1000000 pieces that size but when those pieces of debris are moving at 25000 miles an hour right and in lower that they're not moving they don't necessarily moving in the same direction so you could be hit by something moving at that speed so that is bigger than a grenade the impact that followed so what can be done well there are companies there are there are at least demonstrating the ability to remove satellites or to see all them but the fact remains that there were there's already lots of debris already out there and there are there are specific orbits that people have parked launches in before so this possibly 8000 tons of rockets already sitting there waiting to collide so we've got to monitor it that's really the answer we've got to remove what we can but we've got them all and so what we can't remove well done is

a fascinating if slightly troubling subject let's hope it's a splashdown rather than anything else done pollock i think persist appreciate that thanks very much thanks they are. top u.s. fuel pipeline operator colonial says it's shut its entire network off to a cyber attack the company's network transports to an after 1000000 barrels of fuel a day through almost 9000 kilometers of pipes across the united states colonial says it took it systems offline to contain what it called a threat the company hasn't said when operations will resume but has launched an investigation into the attack the u.s. homeland secretary says the biden administration's mexican border plan is getting results but more work still needs to be done and anthro mail costs was speaking on a visit to one of the main processing facilities in the texan border city of donna he says the number of unaccompanied children there has dropped to less than a 10th of its peak in march children spend on average a day at the facility before being moved on immigration and including your regular

migration is a very dynamic. challenge and therefore the challenge is not entirely behind us. so we have accomplished a great deal and we must mean tave the capacity to deal with an address that dynamism so we do not experience to the best of our abilities what we experienced at the end of march and the beginning of april. u.s. figures are rising again to levels not seen since the heights of the current of our last year and that's raising criticism of president joe biden's recovery plan with some employees saying it's worsened the job for a white house correspondent can we get reports now from washington d.c. . at this busy miami restaurant the biggest problem isn't finding customers but finding staff we would like to give a lot more. attention to the to the clients the column our service and we

can't do that because we don't have enough personnel hoarding to ferret cheli many people simply don't want to work lots of people are so on employment and they're not coming back that could be one of the reasons the latest u.s. employment numbers show jobs rose by just 266000 in april that's a fraction of the 1000000 plus jobs expected unemployment is up in the united states now 6 point one percent numbers not seen since early april of last year covert 19 lockdowns wiped out millions of jobs and took the jobless rate to a peak of more than 14 percent we knew this wouldn't be a sprint it be a marathon on friday the biden administration tried to put a positive spin on the disappointing numbers today's report just underscores in my view of voiding the actions we're taking are. checks to people who are hurting

support for small businesses for child care and school reopen support tell families put food on the table but some employers blame president biden's $1.00 trillion dollars american rescue plan for making the job market worse it pays unemployed workers $300.00 a week removing the incentive they say for workers to apply for jobs as the covert economy opens back up some restaurants like individually owned mcdonald's are even paying people to interview for their jobs the largest business lobbying group in the united states the chamber of commerce is also calling for an end to covert unemployment benefits. but the biden ministration says it's rescue plan was just the beginning and what's needed now it's 2 trillion dollar american jobs plan to rebuild infrastructure and create work i believe we will reach full employment next

year some analysts also just you criticism that government benefits are affecting hiring trends and discouraging a recovery in many parts contrary the virus does not is still not under control and there are lots of people who remain appropriate as i'm going back into group settings like restaurants and bars but president biden's republican critics have seen as to on the disappointing jobs numbers as proof they say that his american rescue plan is not working can't really help it al-jazeera the white house or let's get more now on our top story the violence in jerusalem around the mosque we can speak not too many have to heidi who's the founder and chairman of the palestinian academic society for the study of international affairs and he joins us live by skype from occupied east jerusalem. we appreciate you joining us

here on the program for us will tell us what your thoughts are on what is happening and any concerns about where this could be heading. yes in trying to clear out of the 3 baskets we have to deal with the 1st one which is very serious and very important for the 1st time the israeli military establishment is imbedded with the right wing being presented with them and then emptied of exclusivity jewishness . they have an agenda which is very clear from day one they took over the office. like summer school evacuated and close as soon as possible and they are completely closed and with their agenda and they are using the structure. to control all of the or city do you think your real people from their houses and even to charities there of the spirits to breathe especially damascus again as well as your

generosity so israeli police are saying that they have used force to restore order during as they say the writing of thousands of worshipers off the evening prayers that's why they say they got involved whatever it is jane doe today is there was sort of who is the monkeys are you the military establishment or do i know people to breathe especially in your mind on this measure in the order of passing. this year for him and for the 1st time unexpected. embedded with the idea with the current general presentment i'm going to want to go all over the military establishment and the government dollars you do your own waiting for the 1st time there is no government there is no good at issue there is no question of who is down you were trying. to reach where are you guys we don't want to have a budget into our city especially tonight and tomorrow it's a very serious and very dangerous indeed and now the u.s. and the and the e.u.

have condemned the violence the u.s.d.a. is deeply concerned and has called on all sides to deescalate what do you think it will take to calm the situation right now. for the 1st time in jerusalem do you. respond in years independent individual reaction to the radius coalition we are clashing with you once we don't time you to be visible presidents or not i want to science or i'm going to blitz is not a hard it's not. just of what is your god as well. as the mass guns good dollars you teachers are now once these young people are gone from good generals with the military establishment their mission to bribe the rise again they want to generalize them no no no aspect and they don't care how did. israel supreme court will hold a hearing on the the forced evictions in israel by these troops home on monday the

foreign ministry of the israeli foreign ministry said on friday that palestinians were quote presenting a real estate dispute between private parties as a nationalist cause in order to incite violence in jerusalem what do you say to the . well they're going to respond and the target i'm sorry you have is the question is do you believe this if they can clearly see this is it do you think this it was you know. there are clashes are taking and i want to hold the scientists in the mosque where people who are praying are gathering to get where they're not going to fasting but i dare say you visit our own houses in our city with his or any visitors and if we don't tie our military presence and our audience in our houses now are ordered this is not clashes there is no confrontation but the hook a mission on daily basis is coming from them and then establishment and i want people all the time from the stomach of towns learned from this it was just out of

the organization from going to fractionate are just going to be of journalism and we don't want to confront when there is there it is not going to stay however from our houses they are already are you buying because you don't have come out as one of the different establishment everywhere in the whole city and the most important thing when people are praying about what happened even yesterday before they went to get a. clear point is there any military presence and you have been trying to. go now to tell them this is no humans this is exhausting man's stay away from the palestinian prayers they are now staying away they are constructing you got a challenging and they are attacking and they are arresting people want any of this is a bloody bloody well after they would appreciate your perspective thanks very much indeed. now england has unveiled a green list of 12 countries where residents can visit without going into quarantine when they return the new rules come into effect on may the 17th and that

will mean international travel will no longer be illegal australia new zealand are on the list even though they both close their borders to u.k. tourists there opinion plans to allow tourism from countries with loan for rates by mid june so let's take this on we can speak to virginia senior who is the managing director of the world travel and tourism council joins us live from london regina said this 1st opening salvo is very very cautious but would you say its rights given what the world's going through heinecke i mean we certainly welcome any positive step towards the reopening of international travel but unfortunately we don't believe is that no i mean our sector has been devastated by this pandemic as we know and more than 62000000 jobs have been lost lower the still even the advanced and rage of the vaccination rollout here in the u.k. we're hoping they would take a bit more of a risk based approach and hoping to see more countries particularly and the market

within the e.u. let also the u.s. in that the list you know the e.u. seems to be going down a route that allows will allow vaccinated travelers into e.u. countries england not now part of the of course what you think they've gone a different route a much more cautious route. absolutely i mean the e.u. has certainly been putting out all the right signals so that since the announcement of these e.u. i'm told it certificate that will be in place at some point in june across all of the e.u. markets to enable people to to travel safely within within the member states but also recently as we heard from from the commissioner there they're considering real binny and travel for us that's an aide to travelers which is obviously a very positive step so they're clearly acknowledging the porters that travel and tourism brings to their economies i think i mean that u.k. on fortunately is one of the economies that has suffered the most in terms of the

impact of travel and tourism last year only $148000000000.00 were not asked and just to the lack of of travel and tourism about as we say they had gone for these overly cautious effect that is going to continue to put meat is a jobs at risk of course at the most other countries are still on the case or the englands i should say in that because the world has different thing england bill is that france greece and spain for example but they are likely to be either before the main holiday season starts on. well that's what we're hoping for we're hoping to see these major destinations for breaks and on that because we know the travel can be resumed safely i mean we're with a combination of not all the vaccination but also and testing unfortunately what is still in place and what we have been advocating i guess is the use of p.c.r. testing for travel because we believe that there are so rapid tests such as antigen

test can can really get on the sector in a safe way so p.c.r. unfortunately are very restrictive very expensive and currently travelers coming back into england from any country on the amber list is still going to have to face at least a couple of p.c.r. test which is going to really impact the cost of trout right just how desperate are things in the in the travel and tourism sector mary across the board from. your small high street traveling. i mean as we say our sector i mean just to give you a perspective i mean 2020 the global economy suffered a drop of 3.7 percent in g.d.p. travel and tourism g.d.p. dropped by 49 percent so that's kind of the difference between the impact of our sector i mean this crisis has hit as 18 times harder than the global financial crisis so i mean it's certainly devastating or wherever you see it across all of

the different industries i mean airlines hotels absolutely and not only that but also e.s.a. needs that are the backbone of this sector and all of the small businesses that are owned by women and other minorities that have been disproportionately affected by this crisis so unless we see very clear and bold steps towards a reopening of travel in a safe way all of these devastating hardship is going to continue and they'd do appreciate that thanks very much indeed for jim messina who's the m.d. of the world travel and tourism culture. the scottish national party's hope of securing a majority in the country's parliament hangs in the balance several key seats are yet to be declared party leader nicolas sturgeon wants to seek a 2nd referendum on scottish independence if it gets its nukes and u.k. prime minister boris johnson says a 2nd vote would be irresponsible and reckless scots rejected independence by 10 point margin in 2014 little way to go before we get to that point of course during

the holes in the scottish capital of edinburgh what's the latest. or the 2nd counting nick has begun in this election but already the s.n.p. has opened unassailable lead nicholas sturgeon scottish nationalists have won 4th consecutive term in the scottish parliament here holyrood though having failed to win some of their absolutely crucial target seats it now looks unlikely less likely perhaps that they will win the much much wanted outright majority not that that necessarily alters the chances of a 2nd referendum on scottish independence that if yesterday so badly wants to talk more about how things may unfold what happens next i'm joined by corey brown swan from the center for constitutional change at the university of edinburgh thanks so much for joining us assuming no outright majority for the moment because judging

will likely join forces with the pro dependents greens there thought to be doing quite well will that be enough of a majority for independents in the parliament for her to be able to carry forward her plans and how will she do it i think it will be enough that they will have an outright majority of pro independents ideas within the scottish parliament which will be which will allow the government see pass legislation passed referendum legislation told ever after that so together there's the sufficient support for another referendum within the scottish parliament she's going to wait though she's not going to do that immediately issue no she has been very clear throughout the camp. jane that she wants to focus on recovery coming out of the current right wrist lock down period before tackling and dependents question so that we may see this in over the next 18 months to 2 years resistance already very clear from westminster boris johnson the prime minister has all along said he'll stand in their way the nationalists irresponsible and reckless in the current context he's

called it can he block a 2nd referendum it's not clear he and i suspect that once that list of referendum legislation is passed they may challenge that the supreme court in the hopes that the supreme court would block that legislation but the preference in the u.k. has always been for political solutions rather than legal solutions so that would be quite an extreme step of courage to be absolutely clear if and when we do get to that point of a 2nd independence referendum it's by no means clear that there is a majority of yes voters there may be a majority for independents in the parliament but some of those green voters for instance will be voting on will have joined forces on green issues not necessarily on independence issues no guarantee of a yes then of course of the population that sits play about 5050 at this point so we don't know how that might change over the course the campaign and just a final one on the count at the moment it's looking unlikely that she will get the majority she craved that of course would have made a much stronger case oh absolutely i think she wanted that majority but realised it

was it was unlikely it was a difficult hurdle to pass but that would have allowed her to draw upon the president the navel the 24000 referendums place kerry brownstones thanks so much for your insights there the counting continues from a wet and windy edinburgh nick back to you. thanks very much to join a hole that in edinburgh in scotland. now repairing the damage done by the pandemic kids the top priority as european union leaders meet in person for the 1st time this year during the so-called social summit in portugal discussing the long term targets for employment equality reducing poverty more immediate matters on the agenda or include plans to share covert 19 vaccine technology with poorer nations. taiwan is hoping recent rainfall will finally bring an end to its worst drought in decades changing climate in the western pacific is believed to be the cause it is a phenomenon that has implications for high tech companies worldwide as well but right now it's going the water shortage being suffered by this small island off the

coast of mainland china could have a global impact. taiwan's reservoirs normally fed by summer rains and typhoons storms like parched producing the worst drought in more than half a century to live this is it last year 2028 was the 1st time in 56 years that we didn't have a typhoon passing through as an island state that's our main source of water the impact is being felt island wide including taiwan's water hungry semiconductor industry like other companies t.s.m. see the world's biggest contract producer of microprocessors is making up the shortfall by trucking in water but while one tanker carries 20 tons the company needs 200000 tons of water daily. in addition to water trucks there's more recycling in the short term it's not a big problem but it is an uncertainty in the coming quarter. and it's an
