8:16 am
i strike on the outside, the neighborhood in western garza entered for children in the same family. earlier israel, his southern garza, with more than a dozen as strikes, destroying 2 houses medic say, one person was killed and 7 wounded in the city of hon. us on both sides, publicly, se we'll fight on secret talks are said to be under way in a phone call. the president joe biden has told israel prime minister to lower the intensity the conflict in now, olympic chiefs are trying to reassure people. they'll deliver a safe tokyo games despite mounting opposition. i'm concerned the event will trigger spike in corona virus cases. international olympic committee wants to send in hundreds of doctors and nurses ahead of the event due to starting just over 2 months time. but a group representing more than a 100000 japanese doctors and dentist says that's almost impossible because fewer than 40 percent of its health work as a fully vaccinated congress must lifting the state of emergency at the end of this
8:17 am
month is impossible. which means the state of emergency will need to be extended 2 or 3 weeks and with japan will be a society under a state of emergency until the very last minute. when the olympic starts in july, i have to say the japanese government can't declare to the entire world as they can hold a safe and secure games. while the tokyo medical practitioners association has written to the prime minister, yes, shahita suga urging the government to convince the i o. c. to call off the games 3 months into its vaccination program. fewer than 4 percent of 125000000 people in japan have received at least one shot, not the lowest rate among wealthy countries. if there is a plan to secure 30 medical facilities, that should be 1st allocated to the public, the olympic athletes and the citizens of japan,
8:18 am

8:19 am
and compared to that, the roll out in japan has been very slow and back very frustrating to a lot of people. i think that athletes are in a very difficult position. they've been training for years to reach this point. this is the height of any athletes career. and they want to come to the host nation and to compete in front of an appreciative audience. and certainly the fact there isn't a strong public opinion to get the games does have to be somewhere in the back. their minds are possibly in the front of their minds. and i think that that's something that athletes competing in the games both locally and from overseas, are going to have to reconcile over the next 2 months or so. the number of new current of virus death in india has fallen not the 2 days in a row. of record highs at least $3800.00 people died over the last 24 hours. but the number of new infections is slightly up 207000 new cases are reported on thursday. the number of new cases has been coming down after reaching daily highs
