police are trying very hard to push rent a scenario that happened last week when thousands were rioting in cities across the . after some protesters started throwing stones at letting off fireworks police on horseback moved in to clear the area. this is al jazeera. but time is 100 hours g.m.t. hello i'm kemal santa maria welcome to the news hour on al-jazeera. on islam's holiest nights and israeli crackdown leaves dozens of palestinian protesters injured outside al aqsa mosque compounds also in the news dozens of young girls dead or injured after a series of explosions targeted their school in kabul has more international aid

arriving in india where for a 2nd day over 4000 people have died from covert 19 and 1000000 miles military center labels and opposition government of ousted employees as a terrorist group. and support hundreds of our plates have been taking part in a test of that type tokyo's olympic stadium and fans were allowed but the city still and a state of emergency in that night. so security has been tightened again in occupied east jerusalem this sunday following another night of violence and unrest this is how it looked outside mosque compound on saturday night during one of islam's holiest nights during the month of ramadan israeli police citing security concerns beach palestinian protesters and dozens of people were left in. that tension was already running high as well around the old

city of jerusalem and particularly the neighborhood. as i view the potential forcible expulsion of palestinian families from their homes. that's not what this report is somehow a force in all the stories and i'm. on the holiest night of ramadan more violence on the streets of occupied east jerusalem. palestinian protesters threw water bottles israeli security forces use stun grenades foul smelling chemically laced water jets. and close up physical force was this man was beaten on the ground in front of us the well. and then i should away into the night with no attempt to detain him it wasn't an isolated incident. so the period just before and around prayers was relatively calm here and the mask escape in the last few minutes trouble with the road runner who also another night

it's all changing now and scuffles broke worry is that another potentially violent night couldn't see in the following hours that potential was fulfilled the anger here isn't just about the scenes from iraq saw on friday when stun grenades we used inside the mosque itself it's been building over threats to forcibly evict palestinian families from their homes in the east jerusalem neighborhood of shakes . and i said if you're not gonna see me people solidarity gave us the power to continue without peaceful resistance all that we are asking is peaceful solidarity against the action and we also any organization or governments to stand with us and help prevent the forcefully fictions in shake sherif. we are the rightful owners we are the owners of the land all we want is for them to stay away the forged papers they have to not make them the rightful owners i.

it's been present since the start of the holy month when pandemic weary people found a major post prayers gathering point bought off and it's been exacerbated by interventions from the israeli far right we don't have no light at the end of that but we don't have a talent because there is no peace process east jerusalem is occupied by israeli sovereignty in jerusalem it hasn't been recognized by the international community so we are sitting on a volcano there are concerns of a further deterioration on monday thousands of jewish israelis a set to march through the old cities muslim quarter to mark the israeli siege of east jerusalem in 1967 on the same day as a supreme court hearing on the shaky evictions dangerous days ahead for a flashpoint city it can be both a focal point and

a fuse the conflict within and far beyond its streets are a force that al-jazeera occupied east jerusalem. the united nations and human rights groups accuse israel of forcibly extending palestinians from their land. one of the laws used to do this is called the absentee property law it allows israel to seize the properties of palestinians who fled or were expelled going back to $948.00 includes properties in areas that were later annexed by israel palestinian private land is also routinely confiscated through israeli zoning laws for agriculture military training natural reserves between 262021 israel demolished more than 3600 palestinian homes either on the pretext that they were constructed lawfully or it was necessary for military purposes and since 2004 israel has destroyed or sealed more than 260 homes after alleged palestinian attacks let's hear from. the secretary general of the palestinian national initiative political

party who says saturday's violence is just the latest example of israel's years of oppression. but you see here is this lection of system of racism and discrimination against palestinians not only we have been under occupation for more than 64 years but on top of that israel has established a system of apartheid and official discrimination that the vast majority of palestinians today are to put it that somebody chooses a live man but it's a bit in period and almost as much as the christians would also predicted from participating in the eastern. time period to be in the church. because this is a discriminatory system and of course what you see here is protest against this discrimination and on top of that israel as you have indicated is trying to conduct ethnic cleansing in one of the major neighborhood cheers of that as much as they do

that also in other neighborhoods in jerusalem so basically this is the evolution of a strong struggle against racism against apartheid and against the occupation that has lasted longer than anybody can to date. let's move on to afghanistan where dozens of young girls are being buried today at a cemetery in kabul after their school came under attack at least 50 people were killed in a series of explosions the bloodiest attack in afghanistan in over a year the government's claim the taliban the armed group says it's not involved contouri as this report from kabul just a warning that her report does contain some graphic images. children screaming for their mothers scattered notebooks and casualties strong across the ground in western kabul. girls' school had been a place of safety education and hope for the future now the scene of an attack

intended to create maximum casualties 3 explosions at about 5 30 pm local time the same time young women and girls were finishing school and streaming out of the gate dozens of wounded civilians were rushed to mohammad ali jinnah hospital many in a critical condition in my view unfortunately during the time when students were coming out of the school a powerful explosion happened and the number of children will wind it and you can see that all the hospitals are full of victims. those who lost their lives lined up in the corridors a spammer remembers checked to see they'd lost their loved ones concerned people can't stop to donate blood. but they were a lot of casualties there were a few male victims but most of them were free school students the victims were female school students the bodies were everywhere and some of the bodies were

missing here. took place in. a predominately and huzzaing neighborhood these groups have often been at the receiving end of violence by armed groups in afghanistan due to religious and political differences rights groups say there has been a recent surge in targeted killings of women and religious minorities no group has yet claimed responsibility for this attack but there is a circle of blame among officials and fighter groups the taliban condemned the attack and denied any responsibility blaming eisel but president blame the armed groups saying the taliban have once again shown their own willingness to resolve the crisis peacefully and fundamentally by escalating their legitimate war and violence. in a country already torn apart by decades of war there's attack will no doubt lead to more fear more anger and parents scared to send their children to school.

here kabul. joining us on the news hour from kabul is mohammed stanek zein who is a senior advisor to afghanistan's interior minister mohammed thank you for your time. let's just deal with the why 1st of all why would anyone attack a school because after looking at those pictures that's all i can say when you've got young girls who've been killed what is achieved by attacking a school. thank you well it's very unfortunate that we're kids are slaughtered like that and the nation this morning we are in pain and sorrow but what is more unfortunate to have. like pakistan what og son does is they are harboring totalist they are giving them and shelter giving training still feeding him and then sending them to the neighboring countries called your party wants or

if it is taliban with a wife large part it is if it is i say as with the black flag doesn't matter at the end of the day the taliban are fighting cocks than the isiah saw pashtun for fighting quote pakistan. here is any terrorist or extremist they are linked and connected to fox so i don't question it levy have a very bad was doing what it does and who sees the progress in the destruction of. why is that act because they want to bring this stance between the people up on the stand in their government up ones done so here we talk peace they are trying to grab the. attention and. the backing of our nation to the. ok so you are and you are talking while the 9th is the fall of allah yeah yes sorry to interrupt your invoking pakistan and you know what caution that we will

obviously need to hear what the pakistanis would say about that but with the taliban itself i mean the group comes out and says no it wasn't us to you believe them when they say that because they would usually be very quick to say yes no more of them i mean this is we this is this would be this would be very very stupid to believe all about that you are not involved i mean look at the end background look at the end of history what i've been. doing is killing people and destroying our wood burning the schools killing innocent women activists young and best of our. son this is your background this is what it was you know we know that this is taliban behind it in the parks you know it the pakistanis know the international communities of iraq that now it's everyone is why we're there so sorry to interrupt you so why would they say they didn't because as i said the taliban would usually be the 1st to claim when they have done something they will say yes it was us because they want to make

a statement here they're saying no it wasn't us we'll send that to our software or their peace has begun and. you know they have got a new strategy. if we attack the army the answer i want waters we will claim for years and attack on the public and we would just say that it is not us in the eyes i guess but behind the scenes everyone is aware of that part of our in doha the taliban in pakistan in the shower. or that your command to start the spring attacks against the afghan government and people so the idea is not that that they are not fighting and if we were not the very high ranking commanders in doha yet it's no other group but taliban responsible and they have the power to get taxed and then one day is your concern then will you be concerned then that as we now have the u.s.

making its final withdrawal from afghanistan that this type of attack on innocent people will only get worse. it will get hard yes not up about out about that but we have to defend this country we have to stand for our country for over values with the americans or without the americans if you ask me but really other than that go on i have never liked and i have never felt comfortable see americans or any other country troops in my county so we don't like that but if they are leaving we will defend american soldiers. we will fight against terrorism now just see the past year in the past one of the following not seeing that. probably would just shame that they have not heard any american since we're in the lot yet their medical sorting that seems that no american soldier has been out in even on the our sources is that the taliban were protracting the basis

of america in the past one year so what kind of what kind of dinner is this which part of is that you go fight in till you're on muslims you become brothers the caucus in the muslims. are mainly the result of you know it's what drags in we know it's taliban we're going to leave it there mohammed a very systemic guy is a senior adviser to the interior minister of afghanistan thank you sir thank you thank me more protesters are gathering in the iraqi city of karbala where a prominent activist was assassinated during an early morning raid and identified gunmen stormed the heart of. the on sunday carrying silenced weapons police say a search is underway for the attack and the iraqi commission for human rights as more than 550 people have been killed since a protest movement against the government began in 2019. 15 minutes past the

hour here is what's coming up struggling to bury the dead perused a 2nd wave of coronavirus leave cemeteries full in hospitals overwhelms. this. product every day but it's also one of the most important questions of our planet and. that's what we'll hear from the strike and closing in on a goalscoring record in germany. 2 days in a row now and more than 4000 people have died of code 19 in india infections show no sign of slowing either as a battle's a devastating 2nd wave there were 400000 new cases confirmed on saturday several states have gone into lockdown but there are calls for the national government to take action and to impose its own nationwide lockdown the latest with in new delhi . it just feels like it has to get what doesn't have to but it will continue to get

worse before it even starts to look like getting better in india. you know we've seen this crisis really build up over the last month month in the hall and we've seen the virus shift and now we're seeing are a so in sudden india we're seeing a surge in rural india and you know what's really happening is that there is a growing call for a well planned national lockdown but that that direction is not coming from the central government so what states are doing them posing their own version of fields and knockdowns 1 today 3 states have extended their lockdowns jammu and kashmir the state of whatever they should have the you know sort of semi lockdown come cuff you and also the state of delhi and that's interesting because we've seen the cases in delhi gradually drop but delhi has not just extended the lock down it has also made

it strict us to starting monday for a week we will not have the metro running in the city over the last couple of days we've seen several new states several states announce fresh lockdown starting between today and monday and those would be cannot do and go. public can you give us any sort of picture of rule india i mean we focus obviously so much on the cities new delhi we were talking a lot about bangalore real last week but i just wonder how much worse it could potentially be in rural areas. well the case of rural india is especially worrying for many reasons one the biggest one being that the health infrastructure or rather the lack of infrastructure that now the latest data shows that nearly hauffe the cases that are coming in that we're seeing of kobe $1000.00 in the country all coming in from the rural parts of the country in the hinterland and that's really worrying because as you know in india is already

reeling under the pressures of this virus people scrambling for beds lack of oxygen room in job barely has any of the facilities we're seeing in cities like delhi and bengal who also village barely have a primary health care provide us several of them have to travel to towns and cities to access basic medical facilities there are barely any ventilators if at all also what's worrying is that rural india this time is suffering a lot more than it did during the 1st wave the bus big wave which is you know september 2020 so the kids count and death so it has increased 4 times since the last wave stunna don't change that with the latest from new delhi thank you let's take you around the world now belgium 1st of all with celebrations marking the end of a coronavirus curfew turned violent on saturday. bottles being thrown at police who then responded with water cannon to clear hundreds of

people in brussels restrictions were imposed across belgium since october and were being lifted last month while there's no longer a curfew gatherings of more than 3 people continue to be banned between midnight and 5 am. this is spain which is also lifted a 6 month state of emergency prompting thousands to celebrate and bustle under the central government is handing over control of viruses trojans to spain's 19 regions people will now be able to travel freely within the country. cuba is about to start administering to locally made vaccines it will target 1700000 people in the capital have ana schools and restaurants there are closed the nighttime curfew has been in place since february cuba hopes to have 70 percent of its population in ocular by august. now in latin america like most countries in the region peru is in the grip of a deadly 2nd wave overcrowded hospitals a slow vaccine rollout a rising number of deaths it is leaving many people as you might imagine in despair

and the sound of the reports cemeteries or even struggling to bury their dead. it was only when her case attracted national media attention the local cemetery found a place for guinea belt used as brother joyal she was desperate imagine any human that we have decided to bury him in the garden in the front of my house because there's no other solution what could i do with my dead brother in my house with that smell grew in the last 2 months is recorded more than 15000 deaths from the covered 19 virus health experts say the truth figure is probably much higher symmetries are overwhelmed despite doing all they can to accommodate the increased demand. as you can see the sun is ours symmetries on the verge of collapse which is complicated by the situation the world is in so we're trying to adapt our teams to mitigate the situation in our cemeteries but despite their best efforts

it's not enough not with nearly 2000000 people in peru infected and 62000 deaths. unfortunately although peru is a rich country people are dying they're buried clandestinely in the hills by just digging a hole through his underfunded health system is overwhelmed an oxygen is scarce and the vaccination program beset by corruption scandals which is reach less than 2 percent of the population off with little hope some have taken extreme measures. i saw there were no places in the cemeteries and was worried that there was nowhere to take the dead nor money to bury them that is my concern and that's why i'm building this so my grave is ready. if not for many regions of latin america simply don't have the. to code the sharp increase in code with 19 deaths earlier in the pandemic bodies were left on the streets in the it could dorian city. and the symmetries in the brazilian amazon city of men hours overflowed.

the 2nd wave continues to bite dealing with again is again presenting a huge challenge. the military in me and ma has designated a rival shadow government and its defense force as a terrorist group it's blaming that national unity government for carrying out bombings and killings the unity government made up of exiled lawmakers it also announced a so-called people's defense force to protect civilians from the military and local monitoring group says more than $770.00 people have now been killed in the army's crackdown on demonstrators. and those protesters continue their demonstrations in defiance of the crackdown says yangon dozens of young people from different districts marching through the city center large crowds joined the demonstrations in several other regions across the country including mandalay and. we've got to

win with us now executive director of the berman burma human rights network on skype from london thank you for your time today so this designation as a terrorist group obviously you're not going to accept that but it also shows that there's no process here is there despite the. countries saying there needs to be dialogue and inviting the military into to that they're clearly not going to do that. hi thanks for having me here today. you said this is not illegitimate 1st of all the military is. not a legitimate government and nobody. recognized that authority and you know in order to. recognize authority you see that. the government the who claiming government should have arms groups that control the border areas but which is not true in murmur right now there are multiple arms school and no one can control completely any part of the country completing the country so that means the

military gender to find to. the power is still failing it's not getting that position yet and on the other hand that we have to leave you to make people democratically elected government that is and you give a national unity government which has formed hope and they are the one who announced that who declared that they can see are huge the law makers they have declared that this militancy is a terrorist organization and this is what people have mended today and they have a proper process you see that because the military conduct the better reason that we tell it if they have conducted so far is more than in their and their terrorist organizations what they have done but is anyone interacting with the national unity government the democratically elected government that you talk about other countries are the regional groups who are dealing with them and saying yes we do actually recognize you because i'm wondering if there is i mean is enough enough i think public support for that group. i mean they have enough more than enough

public support and all the ethnic arms gobbles are supporting them and also they have a unity government if you the formation of humility government if you see that all ethnic leaders in and out at likud groups are involved here so this is a very legitimate government and regarding the dimension of the on the nation the process is continue as you know it's not that easy but is continue but however the communication is there you know the international community is going to negating image of government as you see the energy minister frequently doing meeting with the u.s. and u.k. and e.u. and member some so that there is you know the process need little time but the point here is the most important point here is the n.u.j. government has a democratically elected government whose who is mending from the people of burma those who are formed for the people of burma and they are standing up against that military officials we give this terrorizing in of committing brutal crimes against humanity just every day in every part of the for just a quick final question because you mentioned the ethnic armed groups i presume that

they are part of the so-called people's defense force which the national unity government is talking about i mean what sort of size and scope is this defense force and do you think they can really stand up to the man army. there are 2 steps going on here the 1st step is people defense force. p.d.f. we call it this is only the people who are newly recruited people and 2nd thing is the federal army when we call it we talk about federal law that means all ethnic arms go all the nationalities and all the all the. ethnic groups will join here so the process is continuing and as you see that any government there exult or examine the are within burma they are hiding and they are complicated with each other they are trying their best to serve the people so we understand they have immense of challenges but the point here is what about the international community

you know. we have so far we only have to have a lip service from international community yes we see that there are sanctions going on as some pressure is going on on the on the military but we need a tangible. you know effective vote for this and your government and people those who are supporting support of the people in order to overthrow the brutal regime and to care when from the permanent human rights network thank you for your time we appreciate it. thank you. still ahead of you on this news hour missing out on a green gold rush why the potential legalization of marijuana will do little to help mexico's poor families china says remnants of its rocket have splashed down near the maltese of the tumbling back to earth and an uncontrolled re-entry and spoil the go for who went a long way around the 1st team at his latest on a medical final that's all about in

of northern algeria over the last of which is led to devastating flooding temperatures have come down in egypt cairo at 37 degrees and that's because we've got a wind off the mediterranean also seem very wet weather pulled away from kenya and somalia but you know we've got a drenching toward the western cape things are now beginning to dry out there as we head toward cape town a high of 21 degrees on monday and plenty of sun in the forecast. a weekly critique of the stories hitting the headlines the news media have been left to sort through mixed messages on a quite complex story from mainstream to street journalism any objective is to get everything you can send it to the wall to show them what's going on exposing real world threats to objectivity often of on they were it sounds from moscow earth

on the news on here at al-jazeera and these are the top stories another night of violence in occupied east jerusalem outside out some mosque compound israeli police were seen hitting and fighting with palestinian protests funerals are being held for the victims of 3 explosions near a school in afghanistan at least 50 people many schoolgirls were killed during the blasts in kabul on saturday and no one has claimed responsibility for the attacks for the 2nd day in a row more than 4000 people have died of cope with 19 india infections show no sign of slowing down either as the country battles this devastating 2nd wave there were 400000 new cases confirmed on saturday. 2 suspects have been arrested in the maltese in connection with an explosion that critically wounded the former president mohamed nasheed police have released security camera footage showing mashi there and his bodyguard walking through a passage and approaching his car as the blast hits doctors say he is now conscious

sporadic shelling has been heard north of the town of a guerrilla. military blocked the road to aid convoys including the un's world food programme doctors without borders and world vision the military says it had safety concerns. the mayor of london city has been reelected for a 2nd term in a narrow the narrower than expected victory over his conservative party rival secured 55 percent of the vote a 50 year old victory one of the bright spots for the labor party which had a largely underwhelming showing in local elections. while in scotland the pro independence national party won its 4th straight parliamentary election and its leader nicholas sturgeon says the victory shows the people are ready for another vote on scotland becoming independent from the u.k. john holl has our report from edinburgh. it's not the outright majority the scottish national party had hoped for but the election has produced

a majority for independence with the s.n.p. bolstered by the greens 1st minister and s.n.p. leader nicolas sturgeon made clear what she intends to do with it the s.n.p. and the scottish greens stood in a clear commitment to an independence referendum within the next parliament should tear and boards of eyes be clear that the timing over it for in them should be to say by a simple majority. in the scottish parliament pandemic recovery is the immediate priority after that the plan is for the scottish parliament to legislate for a referendum to take place within the next 5 years it will be for the government in london in charge of u.k. constitutional affairs to agree negotiate or challenge it in the supreme court a spectacle that would risk inflaming separatist desire even further so right now polling suggests perhaps the slates in that support for independence in kind of 4849 percent and it's been 50 percent consistently over the last year but one thing

that makes that would make this referendum different though is that there's not a whole lot of people who are undecided there's not a whole lot of people who haven't made their mind up on independence so you would have to change their minds rather than rather than enlighten people i bring people together so you would have to have to change their entrenched positions which might be my. prime minister boris johnson has consistently ruled out a 2nd referendum the 1st in 2014 was lost by a 10 point margin something he believes should have put the issue to bed for a generation. but then brix it happened which scotland voted against by a large margin in 2016 being taken out of the e.u. against their will as many see it as reinvigorated the drive to leave the united kingdom what it all serves to demonstrate this election intervening event since 2014 of the declining influence of unionist parties scottish labor look in services

is just how divided this country now is split pretty much right down the middle there may well be a pass to a 2nd referendum now but still no way of predicting the outcome if it happens and with it to politics have to be defined by antagonism towards westminster and the pursuit of independence from it for years to come jonah how al-jazeera. there has been more than a week now of antigovernment protests in colombia and it's left some areas facing food and fuel shortages deliveries disrupted by roadblocks police officers and the army have been sent in to clear the blockades protesters though say their fight is far from over and the sun has this report. a long line of cars waiting to go to a roadblock outside the capital for a week the youth of the traditionally conservative farming town of have slowed the movement of people in goods to a trickle adding their grievances to the young going national strike in colombia

look to stop us from that what's happening here is an echo of what's happening at the national level people woke up to the issues of wealth distribution the country we're demanding a different world the sustainable ruler development no more transnational normal to a national searing our resources we want farmers with good living and working conditions down the road in the nearby town of la calamita and other temporary roadblock organized by local truck drivers. we're all united the truck drivers are supporting the protests it's a just cause for all we are all affected the government says cities are running out of food because of us but the truth is that they started the earth with their fiscal reform since the start of the widespread enough times deadly street protests in the city's other groups in rural and provincial areas are also demanding action and poverty unemployment and police violence the roadblocks of produce shortages of food and gasoline the export of major commodities like coffee has been hard to

compute. the government is deploying riot police in the army to lift the barricades all you look at what colombia needs today is to get back to work to get vaccinated to open up opportunities and we're always open to listen to everyone and debated president. the roadblocks is the 1st step to start a negotiation with the protesters saying that they affect the rights of others but some farmers and tripper nurse here tell us that they support the strike the spite the losses like any other who owns a restaurant in town. we live off tourism and people have not been able to come we had to deal with the shortages but i. stand with the protest we want better health pynchon this is about the future of children president duke has started a national conversation with different sectors of society to try to end the demonstrations but he has yet to meet with the leaders of the strike those on the

streets say they remain skeptical of the government's intentions and save it for the time being they don't see a solution in sight alison there. in mexico poor farmers hoping to cash in as efforts to legalize cannabis make their way through congress now not everyone is convinced they'll get a fair share of critics say the reforms will favor the multinational corporations. as our report from mexico city. is a small village in central mexico it's a poor community lacking running water and electricity. villagers have relied on the sale of traditional medicines and more recently honey for their survival but it may drown in environmental degradation neither industry is viable anymore which is why they are looking to grow marijuana now legal under federal law. it's

a medicine ill planned that treats many things so why not we would accept working with associations to use our fertile lands that are free of agro chemicals for cultivation of cannabinoid which is medicine. many of you marijuana legalization as a potential boom for mexico's struggling economy a green gold rush to create jobs in poor areas and a new source of tax revenue for the government. policy experts however say the new reforms are not designed to benefit small communities like last. season so. unfortunately the side there of social justice to benefit rural communities who have been among the worst affected by the drug war seems more like fiction these communities will supposedly be given priority to obtain certain licenses for growing but the entry costs are too high for them to afford. critics of the new law see the mexican government has not only falsely promoted the legal marijuana initiative as an economic relief for poor communities but also

a benefit to patients who depend on marijuana for medical use. the bed is has been treating her 8 year old son with medicinal cannabis oil for the last 6 years she says it's the only thing that's helped against his chronic epileptic seizures but the reform still makes it illegal to give minors products derived from cannabis little sample in the hand the white and the law leaves us out so we are left with no choice but to make this medical treatment for him and for many other children in mexico illegally and also cultivate illegally in order to obtain the oil extracts at home. the legal cannabis in mexico means recreational use will be decriminalized not everyone is pleased with the final outcome of the reform law in law hopes are still high the growing legal marijuana could lift the town out of poverty unfortunately the law itself may not be entirely on their side. up a low al-jazeera mexico city. russian president vladimir putin has said his country

will quote firmly defend its interests he made that comment during this extraordinary show of military strength this is marking the 65th anniversary of victory day the anniversary of the soviet defeat of nazi germany has been watching all those 12000 soldiers and 200 pieces of military hardware were paraded through red square in moscow not china says the remnants of one of its biggest rockets have landed landed in the indian ocean after that uncontrolled re-entry into earth's atmosphere the coordinates were released by the chinese space agency they put the landing area about there just west of the maltese islands closest to them and it's not actually yet clear whether any debris landed on the country's hundreds of items but china is saying most of it burned up on re-entry the rocket

was called long march 5 it launched 10 days ago carrying part of china's 1st permanent space station the u.s. space agency nasa has criticized beijing for failing to control that debris saying it isn't meeting responsible standards in space. there is senior research fellow at the university of southern queensland institute for advanced engineering and space sciences he says china is the only country that still allows these uncontrolled re-entries of space junk. large bases can reach the ground but it doesn't happen too often and certainly not really where in populated areas today the main place that entered the atmosphere was about 20 tons and 30 meters long so that was certainly the single piece that entered the atmosphere once it entered the atmosphere it would have broken up into many smaller pieces previously and one match 5 be used being reported to drop a piece that was 12 meters long so you could imagine if there were people around

that would be dangerous but again landed in the ocean and that's where most of the space debris doesn't back and so this chinese long match is one of the 1st rockets and it is only the 2nd of its type it's been launched with by the main stage of the rockets at a very large component actually went over them so this means it's all getting around the earth and that's what we've been tracking for the previous few days normally these rockets would be disposed of in a manner that means they drop into the ocean fairly quickly after the launch and don't go into an uncontrolled all that like this one with the set up they've got they can put more mass into orbit so for their actions they station about launching their i want to get more of that into orbit perales a cost both in mass and doubles and the result is of course that we have this one piece left over afterwards for example people like space x. are of course really landing everything so they can reuse it and that seems to me like the international and global trend that's happening this single use is not really seen anywhere else outside of china so hopefully it won't be continuing in

long coastline but as the sea and human are reports from chuckie it is now in danger due to a growing black market in illegal harvesting. added plants it's obvious that planet earth is more water than land. but if there are at 1st it looks like there's nothing but underneath there is extraordinary biodiversity one trunk of our can sustain and than 400 species there are snails see a chance and then many it's where life begins coral these are map grow algae forests as indispensable for our survival as those that grow above ground to photosynthesis they absorb just as much c o 2 gas and together with phytoplankton and sea grass they produce nearly half of our planet's oxygen on. and also like nurseries for small fish to find shelter from predators. along 2000 kilometers of chile's pacific coast these forests can grow

spectators were present in the stadium where the opening and closing ceremonies will be held tokyo remains under a state of emergency due to a rise in chronic virus infections. weakened ago i was in poland for the world relays we had 31 countries we had 700 competitors. not one of those competitors left having tested positive in the protocols on the systems that were in place with clear. now in the buildup to to these games olympic organizers are releasing a series of playbooks essentially a list of rules designed to ensure a safe and secure event all participants must pass to cope with 1000 test before leaving their home country athletes will also be tested daily while in tokyo competitors must avoid public transports and will stay at the athletes' village which isn't a so-called bio secure bubble but they'll be sharing rooms of teammates and have been told to bring their own facemask says organizers won't be providing them the

playbook also informs athletes there's handing the games at their own risk. ops healer is the director john hell of athletes a great aiming to give a limb peons more of a say and how the games are being organized. i think athletes do want the games through to occur but they want the games to occur to ensure that the most robust safety measures are put in place to ensure they're protected and to ensure everyone around them is protected and the i.o.c. is right that you know the i think the trained all of this time tends to some 101212 years to prepare for these games that could be their only shot and they do want to attend but not at all cost when you have a crisis management plan in place you normally have the most robust plan possible and there's the risk starts to minimize you drop back that plan the i.o.c. has seemed to do the opposite so they've come out in waves of the playbook which

they've had a year to develop and they have rolled it out slowly by increasing the you did the different protocols and restrictions and what that does is it leads to lack of trust from the athletes from the general population and from health experts that are going to be hosting these games and in tokyo and the concern is that the protocols are not robust enough and we've expressed our views among some of the other player associations that the international big committee has really come up short when it comes to protecting their essential workers unpaid workers the athletes to ensure they have a safe environment sound canelo alvarez has added another role title to his collection the mexican defeated britain's billy joe saunders and texas alvarez now owns 3 different versions of the world super middleweight title fight took place in front of more than $73000.00 fans it was the biggest ever crowd at an indoor boxing venue in the u.s.
