10:06 pm
but what's been happening there today and what is that the mood, the atmosphere like in garza you mentioned the, the ramadan, the next period because that was all carefully canceled by the violence that has been emanating from and being delivered to this place for the last couple of weeks and so what we said, i didn't quite what i expected on my way down here, but it wasn't really good. it's largely pretty jubilant. victory celebration made it also an opportunity to get out and have what many people hear it holding a pe stained aid. and so you've seen people walking around, dressed up, getting up and down the promenade by the beach, enjoying themselves. some going along in convoys waving palestinian and other flags playing music. and so celebrating this victory that chanting about jerusalem, they are out of the homes with a sense of sort of relief and liberty. of course,
10:07 pm
behind all of that remains. this extremely difficult and very devastated situation in terms of distributed infrastructure which has been hit so badly. the medical infrastructure, which is really the triple still sending people out through the rafa crossing in egypt just to try and get treatment, some of the most severely injured. and all these people, as we've reported who are, who have died, many more injured tens of thousands of had, either that have destroyed or at least some kind of damage to that home. so he did major, major problems going forward, but there is a sort of sigh of relief in a moment to go out and celebrate at the same time. right. and of course, the impact of all this from bonham and harry has become clara has been these broader calls, a nice, really deeper change for the life of people in gaza in the meantime. what are the

10:09 pm
there are some hopes, ironically enough that the amount of reconstruction required if it's allowed to take place. and if the funding is allowed to get in, could actually be something of an economic boost and provide employment. the people who have had unemployment as almost a fact of life throughout the young lives. and so 50 percent of the people here are unemployed. so that is a possibility, but as i say there is so much it has been destroyed. 70 lives that have been lost, so many people in grief. so many people are dealing with very, very serious injury in a huge be overwhelmed health system that looking for looking for the silver lining is, is pretty difficult right now. thank you very much. from garza hiring for reporting to us overseas fire agreed by israel mass and the allied palestinian groups is the latest in a string of uneasy agreements in garza through the years in 2008. just 3 is to

10:20 pm
the un called on the military to urgent, he take all necessary measures and precautions to spare civilians and infrastructure. meanwhile, me and mas election commission is saying it's considering dissolving. unsung su, cheese party and having its leaders charged with treason and military appointed body accused the national lead for democracy of committing vote of fraud in november's election. despite independent observers rejecting those kinds earlier this week, saying the election was by and large, representative of the will of the people. me animals, military sees power in february, accusing sue cheese party of obtaining victory by manipulating the vote. she faces numerous charges. now the most serious is punishable by 14 years in prison. al jazeera florence louise, enquire lumper, and says the military is consistently accused sutures, party of voter fraud. despite the lack of evidence, the military, when they took of a power in february, it justified its position on the basis of electro fraud. so it's following that
10:21 pm
line. now, one of the 1st things it did after the coup was detained election commission officials and investigated senior members. then it appointed its people, people that trust it to the election commission body. now there's new genta appointed electron election commission held a meeting on friday, and it's chad person said that they've made that decision. this was a meeting attended by political parties as well. but many of the pro democracy parties refused to attend. so it was attended mostly by the pro military parties. now the chairperson is non said that the election commission intends to dissolve the national league for democracy party. this is a party lead by on sushi and it 182 percent of elected seats in last year's election. now the chair also said that the end of these leaders were he considered them traitors, and he said, action would be taken. that's as far as we know now, it has to be said that no credible election monitoring body has supported the
10:22 pm
military's claims of intellectual fraud. in fact, quite the opposite. they were to for an election, observe the missions in myanmar during the polls last year. and they both said that by and large, the voting and the results result reflected the people's, when the military did say that when it took over power in february, but it intends to hold an election. but i think from what we're seeing that whatever election, whatever shape the election takes, it's not going to be one that will be free and fast. a spread of cry of virus in india continues to slow with 260000 new cases in the past day. but the daily death toll is still high, 4209 fatalities reported on friday. and then a ref, fungal disease is now complicating the fight against the virus doctors. the dealing with an increasing number of patients diagnosed with so called black fungus. it causes double vision, chest pain and breathing difficulties, and it kills more than half the people who get it. avenue metal and you dally says
10:23 pm
there are now new measures to try and combat the disease. the rapid rise in cases of black, fungus, or mucus. my cause has complicated matters in india, but quite a lot. at least 7000 people have been diagnosed with mucus, my courses and at least 200 people have died. the government of india has now called this disease in notifiable disease under the epidemic act. what this means is that every time a case is detected, states have to notify the government of india and also follow sudden guidelines on screening and testing and diagnosis. the prime minister also today called it a big challenge in india, fight against coven 19. actually 6 of the states including coming out to talent gonna and roger con, have also called it a notifiable disease under the epidemic act. now the over use of steroids and diabetes make people if passionate vulnerable to this disease, it is
10:24 pm
a disease with high fatality rate. according to the c, d. c, at least half the people who do get infected do die. but it is treatable if detected early. so now hospitals are dedicating wards especially to treat black fungus. but there is a growing concern about a shortage off of the drug used to treat this disease. 7 hospital saying they do not have enough of this drug. and so the delhi government has now regulated the sale of this drug to prevent hoarding, and the government of india has now off several other pharmaceutical companies to start manufacturing it. malaysia is announced, it'll tighten corona virus restrictions further as case numbers and deaths continue to rise, that it reported nearly 6 now. 1000 new cases on friday after high of 6800 on thursday. another 59 deaths have also been confirmed. malaysia is 2 weeks into

10:27 pm
a defense arriving by boat, but we have never seen so many people arriving in such a short period of time. and from one place in the moroccan government has been good by spain decision to the hospital treatments of the western sahara independence leader for him. golly, loosening of the border has been widely interpreted as retaliation. but by wednesday the slow migrant ended not enough. we came here looking for a better quality of life. we don't have anything in morocco, everything is terrible. we're looking for a better life. so much suffering over there. we came here without any fear and was nothing. what happens happens? most of the migraines and now willingly going back to morocco, risk they took him to cross to this little bit of europe on the northern tip of africa is an indication of just how difficult the economic circumstances remain. on the other side of the board, i'm going to, i'll just, there are few when he died,
10:28 pm
700 years ago this year, dante airy was a criminal, and an outcast from his own city in the century. since then, the writer of the divine comedy is become celebrated, is one of the fathers of italian literature. but as adam rainier ports from his home town, florence f. it's now and away to clear dante's name. in the middle of our life's journey, i found myself in a dark wood so. so begins dante, epic poem, the divine comedy, an illusion perhaps whose exile from his beloved florence vanished and condemned to death for corruption while serving a brief term and public office. dante spent the last years of his life trying to get back home and riding one of the world's greatest works of literature. because so many things found in the divine comedy found in today's world as well. just on a personal level, but a political one too. though he died, a convicted criminal,
10:29 pm
few other floor in time to occupy such a high place in the cities pantheon of heroes. the truth is, many people who come here to florence to pay homage to dante, don't even know he was exiled and later sentenced to death. and those who do know that don't really care if he was guilty or not. and even now, during the pandemic, hundreds of people coming here like this, place his childhood home to see what his life may have been like 700 years after his death. though dante still has a criminal record lawyer, alexandra traverse, he has his way that could change. he shows as the ruling issued in $13.00 oh, $2.00, he'd like to get overturned enough to stay at the holiday or suspicion is that the legal court system and the charges fall against him. we used against dante to eliminate him as a political raleigh vote. in traverse the organizing view the ruling incident on hand leading lawyers and historians presiding over it
10:30 pm
a supreme court justice. there is a sense that the conference that dante was wronged, punished for being on the losing side of political battles. that royal 14th century florence, one of dante's direct descendants, was happy to take part, but was under no illusions. i find it sort of amusing, to be here to listen to what they have to say. i think that the revision by itself will have no practical effect. and of course, dante does memory does not need this. other florence may never officially clear dante's name. the supreme poet, as he's known, will continue to draw visitors here, inspiring them for years to come. adam rainy al jazeera florence ah.
