for decades, criminals made millions tracking drugs through thailand, 11 east explore where the country has now become the 1st in se, asia legalize medical marijuana. on al jazeera ah, returning to the rebel page begins to trickle into gods. this helps families made homeless by 11 days, that was really bombardment. ah, hello and welcome on pizza w a. watching al jazeera life. my headquarters here are also coming up. we still need a 2 state solution. it is the only answer the us president joe biden renewed his support for israel,

but also promises to help rebuild guards are still anchor imposes, a travel band to stop the spread the curve at 19, but is under pressure to go into lockdown as infections rise? ah day to the seaside between the israeli military and us and it appears to be holding in garza more than 24 hours. after that truce came into effect, humanitarian aid has begun to arrive the devastation of 11 days of air strikes on the besieged, gaza strip. is expected to cost almost $100000000.00 to rebuild. thousands of people in garza are now homeless. both israel and hamas have warned that the tanks will resume if the other side breaks the agreement or the faucet joyce's life from gaza. so harry, generally the c spot is intact, it is its holding. people are still out on the streets, trying to resume something,

approaching what was even forgot normal life before all of this took place. but every way you go around here, you see the evidence of what has taken place in the last few days across the road from us here. i building who's couple of floors were very seriously damaged by and israeli strike, which itself is right next door to a bank which was totally wiped out. and here, across the road here we are in the garage area, the, the parking area of the building belonging to the palestinian ministry of health. this is where doctors officers were. this is where a lot was you can see the rebel. the detritus from that explosion across the road has very, very seriously affected this building as well. and what is significant about this building is that it is what were the only coven testing labs in gaza was housed? and so it had a very serious impact on what was already

a burgeoning crisis inside the strip. they have managed to relocate some of that testing capacity, but only a limited amount elsewhere in the health ministry. while dealing with the crisis of all of these injuries that they're currently having to deal with and is overwhelming. the situation in the hospitals is now turning his attention back to the coven situation. because with all of those people displace those tens of thousands of people, displaced a lot of them and pretty disorganized ways crowding into us and schools and government schools. they came together in great number and there is informal word we're getting that of those being tested in such places where they spend several days together in pretty poor hygiene. the positivity rate for cobit among them was nearly 50 percent. and so that is something new, something on top of the, the aftermath of all is to tax that the authorities hearing guys are going to have

to deal with. so the starting line for this rebuilding operation is a very tough situation in of itself. i guess harry, because we have seen those reports about infrastructure suffering, the consequences of 11 days of the israeli bombardment, roads being bomb broke being destroyed. and on top of that you got cobra. you mentioned that, but also electricity is ration towards it. 4 or 5 hours a day. that's right. i mean, the electricity situation was around 12 hours a day, which by the standards of recent years is actually pretty good guys, if that has been stripped back to as you say, 3 for 5 hours a day. also major issues with water and the south nation because a, the electricity be fuel supplies and the pipelines that carry that water around have been damaged as well. and garz's, 13 hospitals are very, very much under pressure, not just from the sheer volume of patients that having to deal with but also shortage in fuel supply to. so the aide is coming in. we saw that from

a number of international n g o z. and facilitated by the u. n. by units that have been some supplies getting in, but it is an enormous task that the doctors hospitals the organizations have to try and combat in the coming weeks. and indeed, there is a much longer term issue of reconstruction. can they get into materials? can they get in the money? can they get the work done that is required to start to put back together? what has been so sort of comprehensively taken apart and 11 days of fighting. terry, thanks very much henry for their reporting life was out of gaza. well, for many families in gaza who are returning home, there's little or nothing left to return home to you. and also you met some of the palestinians facing the daunting task of rebuilding the tell me

family was at home when the walls of their living room came crashing down. the father had actually been watching reports of these really air strikes on television when the house was hit near means daughter's apartment, which was only built last month, has also been completely destroyed. a lot of the gardening can wear 3 families living in this home. my daughter came along with the kids to suddenly the power went off and we heard violent bombardment. it was our 1st time to hear such a sound. the rebel suddenly started to fall on us and the kids were screaming. they were flying around. the family left their home with little more than the clothes they were wearing at the time, and were taken fresh to hospital before being transferred to the united nation school. said the casa mister delucca for them. now, when the rates were extensive, we went down because my kids were afraid of the upper floor got to the ground floor . my son's home, it was not destroyed. yes. but then the rates got worse and we ran to my brother in

law's home. right next. wow. and we ran from one home to another. it was all frightening. my brother in law totally destroyed too. it was a 2nd davy. my kids didn't even get to where then you close. the toby's were among the 1st to return to their home after they usually airstrikes the conflict may have ended for now, but many gods and have now to deal with the damage and destruction coast. thousands of homes are gone and the inhabitants displaced. they need food, shelter in medical help. there are many scenes of destruction and because this trip, but only one, i felt thousands of our families separate of almost 2 weeks of boardman. c u l 0 god the u. s. president joe biden does say he remains committed to the idea of a 2 state solution. our white house correspondent, kimberly how kit has more on that from washington. who you are. the president

continues to be challenged publicly by some members of his own democratic party in congress over his support for israel, the u. s. president. as he spoke alongside the south korean leader moon j in at the white house was questioned about whether or not this shift and support could be a problem for his israeli palestinian strategy. moving forward here is what the president had to say. there is no shift my commitment commitment to the security of israel periods. no shift, not at all. what i tell you what there is a shift in the shift is that we have to, we still need a 2 state solution. we were going to make sure that we are going to provide for security in the west bank. and recently we renew the security commitment, as well as economic commitment to the people on the west bank. i also indicated to the israelis and i thought i was very important that they stopped in jerusalem.

this enter communal fighting. that is why extremes on both sides, it has to in it has to in and i'm prepared to put together and i'm going to attempt to put together a major package with other nation to share a view to rebuild the home. my party still supports israel. let's get something straight here until the region says unequivocal. they acknowledge the right of israel to exist as an independent jewish state. there will be no peace us president joe biden believes that his approach of quiet diplomacy is what allowed for the fighting to end after 11 days and not last much longer. but now the concern does the cease fire whole the other big concern reconstruction in gaza and making sure that when it comes through it's really citizens,

whether they be jews or arabs, that they be treated equally. us president joe biden saying that the forced expulsions of palestinians from their homes and occupy to east jerusalem must stop . now they have been sold the diversity protest in support of the palestinians in several cities around the world. in new york, people demonstrated against the u. s. sale of weapons to israel. and for the 2nd time this week, thousands of people marched through chicago. they celebrated the ceasefire between israel and thomas and their calling for justice and freedom in palestine. afghans have also been demonstrating for palestinians following friday prayers, their calling for a long lasting cease fire in garza. similar at least were also held in support of garza. this time in senegal. nicholas hunk was at a demonstration in tackle are gathering the support of the people and really abreast and some of them

are things that can only be published in others are holding things down with israel. we would be ready to fight against these ratings. is deplorable that some countries of society to stay silent, such a crisis. i have been protest rosie where in nigeria as well among those that are attending this protest or the palestinian community that have had homeland in search for a better life here on the african continent. it's really hard for me. it's amazing . when i'm coming to my family back home, i saw you be coming from great mix. now like i've got you and i know how they're not saying,

and i know how they're not showing words from african leaders from pretty much calling for an immediate cease fire to the south african president, rama post. well, i mean, this is similar to south africa. she wanted to tell us what he did, but $20.00 wrestle said a spoke to the palestinian foreign minister about the international efforts to achieve the c spine. in an exclusive talk to al jazeera interview, re at all, malika says there's no guarantee the truth will hold when there are no guarantees or thought. no, a thought, because you know, it's a proclaim that you know, the fire. if see that they have taken that decision on their own. but at the same time, you know, no one could ignore that. all that egypt has played the very important role that

egypt has played. and the role that to cut out has played that all the nation has played, and all of them combine was able to get the consent of all parties, you know, for this fight. and we got that approval and you can mostly full interview with richard l. malik. he at 830 as gmc on sunday on our program, talk to our 20, still to come here on this channel. dying to bury the dead, argentina's grave diggers demand to be vaccinated or go on strike. i felt que welcome supreme and bite $2400000.00. and we looked at why the new zealand governments tactics for containing the pandemic of being blamed for a surgeon house prices. ah,

hello, i'm hoping come this time. next week we'll be talking about roy acquired weather coming into the northwest of europe. have to wait a little while and we got some wet weather continues upon its way through his at iep area of low pressure. last fridays right is in the process is nothing. a little further east was the worst of the weather. spinning down across the low countries, full saturday through germany into france, pushing which was at east side of europe just around the baltic states that are a slap via thing, some very heavy rain pushing across into quite. and it tells its way back through austria into the alps, could be a little dusting of snow here over the high grounds, we got one into sunday repeat performance. it was more wet and more windy weather that's going to make his way in across the bridge shelves. longest spells of rain coming in across wales, western parts of england, western parts of scorsone, further east you may, will stay dry in east anglia. and the far south east for much of the day the

weather will get there. and not too long space of time whether to be to the west side of the mediterranean by this day. so the cost is seeing some west of weather. but for the best of the sunshine, look a little further east west, a fine try, sunny and warm, a warm sunshine contending across northern parts of africa. just wanted to shout into the fall north of morocco and noticed the showers increasing across much west africa. ah frank assessments the government in $11.00 exactly have and what major, taking for a situation might not be just again informed opinions is the us with thinking military positioning is just simply of reorganizing ministry. this is a message to the reason that the united states is rethinking its military foster in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on our jazeera.

oh, the me back your with your life and the reminder of our top stories to soft families in gaza. returning home to cease fire between israel and palestinian militants, appears to be holding. humanitarian aid is not beginning to enter. the israeli located enclave after 11 days of israel strikes which the thousands of people homeless. the us president says creating a palestinian state alongside israel is the only answer to the conflicts joe biden has reaffirmed. his support for israel levels are pledged to help rebuild garza there have been solidarity, protest in support of palestinians in several cities around the world. thousands of

people march through chicago calling for justice for palestine. not staying in the states, the us president and his south korean counterpart say they're keen to engage north korea in dialogue over it's nuclear weapons. joe biden, and jason held talks at the white house in their 1st face to face meeting since mister biden took office berkeley to say the complete dean nuclear zation of the korean peninsula is a priority. i will, i don't have one of the month president biden also expressed support for the into korean dialogue and cooperation and the close cooperation with the us. we work to facilitate progress in into korean relations. so as to achieve dialogue moving forward, korea and the united states will continue close communication while exploring how north korea approach through dialogue and diplomacy. i expect a positive response from north career on that military sources in nigeria say the head of the army along with 10 others have been killed in

a plane. crash. lieutenant general. apr him at a hero's plane came down on an official visit to the state of could do not the air force as the crash happened close to the airport. kaduna investigation is now underway. nigeria military is investigating reports, the leader of booker, her arm, maybe dead or seriously injured, after trying to kill himself, to avoid being captured by a rifle armed group of baccha. she cow has been the figurehead of booker rom, in its brutal 12 years of an offensive in the northeast of nigeria. his death has been on several times in the past, only for him to then reappear. david also is a counter terrorism consultants with global risk international. he says the west africa region benefits from the fighting among the local groups. this is great news, and i can tell you that there was a difference between the previous amount of debt that was made directly by the military. this is the 1st time that it has been attributed directly to my own

senior commanders who now form the state of west africa, proven that report in 2016. so it's a great news and of course this is somebody who has been in pilot. he was a cold like people. he was responsible for the kid not of the $300.00 girls. he has carried out media fax on the niger in population, and i didn't. i mean, there was even a 7000000 ransom that the, the u. s. government placed on his head and hopefully the slamming state. terrorist group, we walk to the us department. the fact that there is, if i did between around did a with a probate and she goes, it's a good thing for the army because then it's almost like the beast is not in his own . this is somebody who has been running

a group for the past and then it means that, you know, there's likely that the jobs question, you know, we're not class. so this is big news. just give it to me for regional state for the niger population. and for the world we the world health organization says the global death toll from cubic 19 could be $32.00 to $3.00 times higher than the official numbers. they show 3400000 people have died from corona virus, but the world health organization is estimating the true number of that's directly and indirectly attributed the virus is between 6 and 8000000. so lank has imposed a 10 day travel band and an effort to curb a search in corona virus infections and a 3rd wave. then this comes as the island key medical associations pressure the government to impose strict restrictions. scientists have warned if no action is

taken, the situation could get worse. his men, l. fernandez, scientists, a working overtime to understand how long has 3rd call would waive the 3500 infections a day and dozens of death. this is the country's only lab at the university of st. java, the napoleon, colombo, carrying out genome sequencing on samples from patients. the process helps identify how the virus works, what strain it belongs to, and if and how it's changing. the strain 1st identified in the u. k. has spread rapidly in sri lanka, scientists, and now looking at another strain 1st found in india. we have a question to see whether the parent is claiming because again, the indian variant is shown to be even more transmissible than the video and could also be causing severe disease to plan with the her strategy, the control strategy, the hospital resources to help them and agents all to do all that sequencing is

important with the latest surgeon cases the need for sequencing is more urgent than ever. but the lack of materials is delaying vital research. that's a global talk to sequencing region. so there's a huge delay in getting the, the agent either because it's a shortage on the conflict orders soon enough because of that these local funds as mother begin team races against telling senior doctors if called for an immediate 14 day lockdown of the country. this is short term restriction, imposed at the moment working to do the people come out and people go for work and then they got there to get there and then be in do spread off the infection again. so that's why you need to have a lock down at the street without having interruptions in between. the countries also struggling to vaccinate. it's population of 22000000 people. only approximately one percent have been fully vaccinated. so far. the government is

facing criticism for mismanaging the vaccine. dr. leading to scenes like this, where anger and frustration over they say they're trying hard to use the doses. they have effectively to counter the current spike in cases by the highest. yeah, go ahead and we are seeing that they said to be to be enrolling in the patients. so there we go. we had paid before the high paid, but the next iteration of the government says it's trying to get move back. seen, not just for the 1st doses like those been given here in color, but also for the 2nd round of shots, which are now overdue. the reason serge, and that's an infection are adding to the agency. experts warn do that vaccines will take time to make a difference. the only solution at the moment is to stop the spread of the virus.

minute fernandez. i'll just the ra color that a she lung to to europe where germany has declared britain and northern island, a virus very in region. not that means people arriving from the u. k. will be required to quarantine for 2 weeks when you measuring that come into effect on sunday. the cobra 1900 variance prevalent in india has been spreading across the u . k. but protest against corona virus restrictions are planned in the capital. berlin in the coming few hours, argentina's under a nation wide, long times, the 1st time this year. but cemetery workers are among those exempt from such measures. they're busy, overworked, and they bear the brunt of a recent increase in coping 19 deaths. and as daniel schwein le reports now from when it's iris, many of them are threatening to strike unless the government banks and eats them. they've been designated essential workers operating on the front line as a number of deaths from the virus and argentina,

climes to 73000. but strict hygiene measures have not been enough to protect them with a growing number of symmetry work is infected. and the 2nd wave strikes dying, which goes to blue have then it was, there are many things that can affect you in this place. on top of it all we have covered to and that's unhealthy, we're fighting a war every day. the world health organization says the true number of copied 900 victims in latin america is probably much higher than registered something this, you know, direct confirmed thing. the virus is not always listed as the cause of death, yet it is handling the bodies of covered $900.00 victims. was not the only risk they faced. principal folk or kentucky, okay. the main point of contagion when we collect the bodies with the families, we don't know if those family members have cope it or not, in their homes, or when we go to a hospital. funeral work has also had to deal with the emotional trauma of

consoling relatives and reflecting how many family members can participate in funeral proceedings. the time will be in every class and we're seeing people begging for a moment just a moment to say a formal goodbye a minimal farewell. they say they're overwhelmed that 20 percent of about 10000 symmetry work because they're affected. either have or have had the virus and other 10 percent ca work, since they considered vulnerable. we don't normally talk about death until we have 273 work as a central work because they used to that. but now they're shouting to be heard because they're dying in the fight against a pound demick and say their industry can't take much more. argentine has vaccinated, less than 5 percent of its population in the process which is stuffed as a cross latin america. but symmetry work is said, not enough to be designated essential workers, if they're not given the great to protection vaccines,

can offer long term will be in the subs. what we're asking for is absolutely just, and i hope the listen to us that to see us please the union negotiations with the government or on pause while both sides consider their position because i am a symbol. so we know that if we take industrial action will only add to the pain, we don't want that because we understand why we see it every day as the 2nd wave hits and with vaccines in short supply governments across latin america, imposing yet more unpopular locked downs to try to alleviate the strain and an already overburdened infrastructure. those on the front line, keep working, but city can take much more than usual, the route to 0. 1 osiris. the surprise surgeon house prices and the start of the global pandemic has put home ownership out of reach for many while investors are making huge profits in new zealand. house prices of shot up 20 percent. now the government is paying a $1000000.00 a day to homes, the homeless in hotels,

wayne hay reports from oakland, in the 1st full part series on the rising cost of housing. i sell it to you. welcome to freemans, by $2400000.00. another quick successful auction results in another high price sale in new zealand largest city, oakland. ah, we're looking for probably 45 months. it's pretty crazy. prices have gone up a lot in the last sort of 6 months or so i was trying to get a handle on where prices are. it was probably the, the 1st part of the l journey. in fact, those prices have searched more than 20 percent in the last year. among the 37 nations that make up the organization for economic cooperation and development or cd new zealand has the most affordable housing markets. the new zealand government has taken steps to cool the market, but there are limits to how far it will go. because a strong boy and property sector is good for the economy and in the middle of a global pandemic. when so many other industries like tourism a struggling,

the government will take what it can get. it's a similar situation in australia as cities where prices have defied economists. predictions of a 20 percent drop to increase by 10 percent in the past year. fueled by cheap money and government subsidies, we've got investors who are saying that housing is going to be a much better investment for them than money in the bank. and we're saying 1st time buyers and is always encouragement from the government for the 1st time bought into market. in new zealand, the property boom is exacerbating a wealth gaps that was already widening at an alarming rate. not only is there a shortage of housing at the top in further boosting prices, but there isn't enough emergency or state funded long term housing to help those at the other end. the government is trying to catch up with de bond, but there were more than 22000 people on a growing waiting list for social housing. some experts believe new zealand needs

to rethink what housing means. we have new housing, very much of the commodities. that's something that can be bought, sold, traded the seat of a social good when we think about house and we really need to start thinking about housing. is something that's critical for people's well being for people to function for people to thrive on communities. the treasury is predicting a shop slow down in price growth, but at the moment the only people who appear to be thriving, those already on the property lead up $1900000.00 appreciate the offerings so welcoming wayne. hey al jazeera oakland. ah, this is al jazeera, these are your top stories, families in gaza returning home as a ceasefire between israel and palestinian militants, appears to be holding. humanitarian aid has become arriving into the israeli blockaded enclave after 11 days of israel. he asked.
