fire on a cargo ship news, sri lanka is finally extinguished, but not before. a major environmental disaster is unleashed on nearby beaches. rebuilding garza from the ground up europe envoy to the palestinian territories calls for urgent international help. i thank you for joining us. we begin the program with the corona virus pandemic where glaring vaccine inequalities and the march of new variance have prompted europe. top disease control body to call on e u countries to share vaccines with poor nations before inoculating their own young people. while europe's vac seem drive has gathered pace. rates remain low in countries where cove in 1900 infections are rising militia and vietnam are imposing new restrictions to try to contain the spread on wednesday,

japan will host the major funding event looking to raise 8 point $3000000000.00 to accelerate access to $1800000000.00 cove in 1900 vaccine doses for low and middle income countries. to morrow, callback's call led by god he said p and jo. alongside key implementation partner units have aims to raise critical new funds at its m. c summit to further diversify its portfolio and buy additional vaccines for low and lower middle income countries . fully financing callbacks and act is key to ending the increasingly to track pandemic. and i time the government of japan for hosting the mc summit. meanwhile, in latin america, infections continue to rise. peru has revised bits, current virus test, whole doubling. the number believed to have died from cove. it 19th. well,

let's go to mexico city and speak to al jazeera as a joe on the home and really remarkable miscalculation from peru. what's behind it? well now they're counting and this is a panel of experts who have been helping the government and they counting excess that those that weren't confirmed that they would cove it, but they've been advised that they should bring into this total. so that's what caused this, this really explosion in the figures proved like many other countries in latin america had low testing rates or has had low testing rates throughout the pandemic . so that increased, but it's not just him peru that we seeing this problem. the world health organization has said that a of the tank countries report in the current of virus high mortality rates. in the last week, we're in the americas and the latin american arm of the world health organization said just a week and a half ago. the only 3 percent of latin americans had received back to nation. so

it's a really low amount of the population. actually here in mexico, we're probably one of the best or off countries at the moment that the countries just started vaccinating people from 40 to 50. and it's hope that in july they'll start on people that are under 40, but that's a real sort of abnormality in terms of the region and the world health organization . things that says things are turning in the wrong direction for the pandemic. so peru has the worst deaf right now in the world, according to the johns hopkins university, but things are looking pretty bad for the rest of the region in general. absolutely . and so it's even more surprising, john, that in light of the situation in latin america, that corporate america football championship is going to go ahead. now, it was moved from argentina. fair enough. but again, perhaps surprisingly, we moved to brazil, which is one of the worst state countries you are exactly right,

barbara. brazil is one of the worst take countries and has been all the way through it. and we've seen headline over off the headlines about the number of tests and the number of cases, the 2nd highest number of tests in the world. that's not death rate resumes go very large population. and the way that the countries president is handled this route prison enjoyable sonata has sort to say, this is a business as usual. he's had stimulus, is to help businesses to help people get back on the street. that's what he's wanted throughout this. and a lot of critics and brazil have said that he's been incredibly responsible because he has sort of deflected concern from the high death tow, the number of people that are getting sick. and the recommendations from health authorities worldwide to stay in doors. and they'll see, this is another example of bit him being hopelessly of message for him, of course, and they support, he'll be him being on message we need to carry on. and we need to, to carry on with the countries what he'd say. now the copper america was actually

meant go ahead in 2020. so it's already been put back a year. argentine, or as you say, said that it couldn't hold it because of the number of cases. columbia was also meant to hold it and they put street protests going along. so brazil said that it can take up the slack. now, what's just happened in the country is that a minister from the supreme court judge from the supreme court said that he needs to see information within 5 days. basically that this can go ahead that the country can hold this tournament while it has so many covey cases. a sen, jim, brazil has said that this is going to be the championship of death. so that's where the other side are coming from. when they look at this tournament, that at the moment is going to be held in brazil, john home and, and be interesting to see how that story development develops for the moment. speaking to us from mexico. thank you. so that's the situation in latin america. meanwhile, many southeast asian nations that were seen as success stories are now being forced

to impose new corona virus restrictions. florence louis reports from calling them for new international flights are being allowed to land for a week in vietnam's capital 100. the announcement on tuesday follows a similar band by home in city a few days ago. inflections in vietnam remained low for most of last year, but have risen since late april tie one once lauded for success in containing the virus. so clusters emerge once it relaxed its pandemic restrictions. with this, when you are very successful, you are not forced to incur only when you fear, then are you forced to hurry on? we were too successful in the past year. in malaysia, a 2 week lockdown beginning on tuesday means only essential services and businesses are allowed to operate. health officials say the surgeon cases is caused by more

infectious various and people breaching pandemic restrictions to celebrate the muslim festival of last month. malaysia has recorded nearly 2800 deaths from cove at 1940 percent of those were in may alone. fascination rates in asia remain low. on average, only 6 percent of the population has received at least one vaccine dose x. say containment of the virus must therefore be prioritized for now. we have to be vigilant. we have to be doing good. somebody was, we have to be a community if we have to come together and accept maybe restriction, border controls. the uses puzzle, protected equipment, marks, etc, practicing good. hi james. we will be stuck with this. and so, until we get high price average, is there any way out? many countries are now ramping up the vaccination campaign. japan is hoping to vaccinate one 3rd of its population before it hoses the summer lympics in july and

vietnam says it's seeking to buy vaccine production technology, while also pushing to acquire more doses. florence louis al jazeera ah the u. n. well, food program is warning the conflict, denise c. o. p as troubled northern t grade region has increased already high levels of hunger. the agency says that after more than 6 months of fighting 5200000 people now need emergency food aid. that's more than 90 percent of the population, with many regional leaders warning of a potential humanitarian catastrophe. the un has appealed for $203000000.00 to scale up its response. it's already helped more than a 1000000 people since it started distributing food in areas around te gray in march. mohammed though has more now from the sapa. he's

a situation that he's getting was by the day, according to wi fi, they can only reach 1200000 people out of the more than 5000000 president of the ticket. i region all these because of the raging conflict about 7 months ago, prime minister had sent his falseness into 2 great what he had promised to be a very short operation, which he said was aim to us. this army, the renegade administration of that region, thought todd by all intents and purposes, refused to deal with his administration, but the house piled on on 7 months on the fighting his field going on, mid da highways on board. a couple of people cannot be reached with the much needed aid, the united nations office for the coordination of humanitarian activities. people have started having a death in some places and mentions particularly the district of all flaw which is

south of the copy follow great mckellar. well, 150 people outside 1212, the tuition is get the was in most parts of the ticket region, of course fighting the gun at the time when people were supposed to hover the crop, most of them did not do so because of the ridge and conflict and also an ongoing, severe infestation of locust is humperdinck that the next topic was the european union's envoy for the palestinian territories. this calling for international support to rebuild the gaza after last month, 11 day bombardment by israel. more than 250 palestine means lost their lives and 2000 homes were destroyed. europe, san voice says reconstruction work is a top priority. we don't conditions, rate need to reconstruct god the end to make it recover from this terrible tragedy

requires a number of important. what important step is that we bring back any clues, if governance from the river to the see that we make sure that the split between god and the rest is overcome that the senior leadership unified and on the rainy side, they need to fully cooperate with ending the. ready siege and allowing access in the critical period now of goods and equipment for people to be able to survive. and if you're a hawaii, as a policy fellow at l. schwabacher, the palestinian policy network, she says israel needs to be held to account by world powers. i think the focus has to be on putting political pressure on israel to and the siege and, and the occupation of gods and also the occupation of the rest of, of palestine. this is completely in man made dissolved, it was from bob meant by the israeli regime of

a besieged people. this isn't an environmental tragedy. this has there is a direct aggressive in this situation. and whilst i'm sure reconstruction efforts are deeply needed in gaza, we must always remind us of why that is the case. the case is because the israeli regime has deliberately targeted civilian infrastructure and have killed over $250.00 pounds estonians including $66.00 children in the lakes. the so and so i think the own us has to be on the responsibility of israel and also european state complicity in failing to hold as accountable and for granting israel impunity for many, many decades. a fire on board a cargo ship off the coast of sri lanka has been put out after burning for 12 days . the vessel was carrying large amounts of toxic,

nitric acid and micro plastics. environmental authorities that started testing dead fish, which washed the shore and police have launched a criminal investigation. meaning fernandez has our report. it's 2 of days in 5 through the in the pull a container ship heading to the board of colombo and sheila. but its deadly cargo continues to wash up on the beaches. wave after wave, bringing millions of plastic pellets mixed with burn debris. the navy and other military prints now have been working no laws for days in immediate clean up operation. but the cost to the environment is more difficult to quantify what this ship has created is a monstrous environment that has said, which is not only for today, but for generations to come. not to put in this is the 25 tons of nitric acid from

the ship. have had a devastating impact on plankton audi. small fish reading grounds and coral. the bela cheeses would have been eaten by fish and other marine life with potentially appalling, long term consequences. of the rough in these dead fish with pellets in their gills . they were among the many washing up on shores. in recent days. this turtle was found on a beach for the south, the why left department which carried out test on the caucus said distinctive markings on a shell with the feast, probably by the effect of acid micro pallets were found in its stomach. the government is struggling to deal with the disaster because it lack specialist firefighting equipment. and that's anchored environmentally if there is a ship in distress, if that i, it shows. the 1st thing that you do is you look to see whether we have big treatments and the personnel to,

to handling if you call don't stay keeping your waters. and i believe this re long can government to keep in thinking of compensation. local fishermen have also said the impact adding to the problems they already faced. white line. when they asked me, had coven couldn't go fish, and people weren't by now catch. secondly, there was a soft close and we were asked not to go to sea for about 5 days. only god knows the difficulties, fishermen faced. the 3rd hit was the ship catching fire. during all of this, fishermen were told not to go to see. this is ordered quickly, but no one looked into how we can survive. sausages brought in by the ship. owners boarded the smouldering wreck on tuesday. as there were concerns the vessel was taking in water. traces of oil or sentiment were also seen watching a show is only done annually or prison. roger pucks has ordered the ship to be

towed into deeper seas to prevent further pollution. experts say the impact of what's being called long cause was marine environmental. disaster will be fed for a long time looking at the blank of plastic and burn debris. it's hard to imagine that any amount of compensation will make up for the damage. fernandez, i'll just the colombo still to come here on al jazeera joe biden commemorates the whole so race massacre. the 1st, the city us president will knowledge. one of the countries force incidence a racial violence in a 100 years and the you go through or use the bending the truth and cashing in on the corona. fine. ah,

weather to the east coast as well. anti one seeing some of the much needed rain there, but for the korean peninsula things are looking pretty fine and funny 29 degrees in so to similar story for beijing with 30 degrees celsius. the important thing if you are walking around in beirut was not to be in the line of fire from the holiday fall off. we heard gunshots, i was the 1st one to flee. the whole battle lasted 3 days and 3 nights, and there were no prisoners at the end control over the in, and you control the region around. and that's why i was such a bloody that an icon, a conflict of the heart of the lebanese civil war, bay route holiday in war hotels on al jazeera. ah

ah, looking back as a reminder of the top stories on al jazeera, you countries as being urge to help vaccinating young people until more people in poorer countries are protected. the blocks disease prevention body says it's a luxury that states should avoid, while global supplies remain scarce. several southeast asian nations which had successfully controlled a virus, are imposing restrictions as cases surge. a 2 week lockdown has begun in malaysia with travel restricted in vietnam. and the conflict in p great has increased already high levels of hunger. the world food program says more than 5000000 people need emergency food aid. after more than 6 months for fighting he was president

joe biden is in the state of oklahoma to mark the 100th anniversary of the tulsa race massacre. he attended the commemoration and met survivors of one of the worst incidents of racial violence in american history. as many as 300 people were killed when white mobs launched a tax on black homes and businesses in 1921. no one was ever charged with a crime for the violence or compensated for the destruction of the events we speak of the day. took place 100 years ago. and yet i'm the 1st president in a 100 years ever to come to tulsa. and i say that not as a couple about me, but to think about it a 100 years and the 1st president to be here during that entire

time. and in this place in this ground, to acknowledge the truth. what took place here? for much too long. the history of what took place here was told in silence. well, let's go to tulsa now and speak towards there is she had pretend, see, is she a president biden? there is certainly himself making a big deal of the, of his presence there. but how are the residents themselves reacting to the presidential visit? it was curious. i mean, for example, we thought we'd invite, we had just the local chapter of black lives matter to talk to us as we did in the last hour. and it was interesting and he's clearly a big community lead as he was walking around ever all to up to me and say, hey, so did you meet fight and did you meet fighting? pretty clear we hadn't invited them down to the greenwood neighborhood today. he wouldn't have come out. he wasn't invited, he wasn't good so that he wasn't part of any of the stuff that we've had for

a lot. a local community leaders, the head of the greenwood chamber of commerce. this is the 1st black chamber of commerce in america. it was the chamber of commerce. it was set up in the aftermath of the burning down of black wall street. as i tried to rebuild, he said, i, i don't, i joe biden. no, no, talk to me about that. i mean, obviously that reasons in your business can be, can be difficult. but if you're talking about racial justice and you're talking about economic inequality, even perhaps a local chapter, a black lives matter and the local black chamber of commerce, the 1st in the, in the country might be, might be consulted. you might think, but this is what you're good, will be quibbling, but it does, it does reflect how all this entire commemoration has been in some ways because throughout and i've been to competing facts and that has been the grassroots community community group schools, justice agreement, which has been organizing its own events over the last few days with the involvement of survivors. and we've been covering those. and then there's been this alternative group which is called greenwood rising. lovely low grades and things.

are they raised like $30000000.00 for a huge new museum and they had no input from the so i didn't know. so the input in the survivors, the, there was a song for them was supposed to be a big concert on monday night with grimy wood when john legend. and it didn't happen because slowly people began to realize including john legend and others wait a 2nd. this group is against reparations for the survivors i was having to do with the survivors, in fact, is actively sort of say not to divisive to even compensate the survivors role. that lawson we always have to remember that fact that 100 years later known, was held accountable and no one who lost everything in the big fire. got anything back, including the 3 survivors. and so as, as they said, the rational testimony, these people are just using my name when my likeness to make millions of dollars for whoever we don't know who we don't know when the profits go. and they're not supporting rapport and also painting the local black community development. in fact, this group has made a very clear battle,

interested in racial equity that interested in redeveloping, this entire area as a side of cultural tourism and gentrification. there are all these new lofts going off everywhere. everywhere we see really in the distance. this is about racial justice, is about a new opportunity for making money for a lot of people here. and a lot of these groups that are making that money are the same, that actually we're deeply evolved institutionally, with the, with the budding down the green with the 1st place, the white chamber of commerce, the local governments, and so on. in fact, one of the sponsors, the sponsors for this new museum chase manhattan bank. back in oklahoma, we are in the aftermath and the aftermath of the binding down of greenwood, many of those here who had some money, what allowed to get get access to their bank deposits because the bank said what was your documentation and they said over burns and the banks of well, in that case, you know, get to get your money further in publishing them. i think about 70 banks have now been incorporated into the chase manhattan bank back of oklahoma. well, bill,

this $30000000.00 museum. so all is, all these 100 directions are very parents, i have to say she every town see life for us in tulsa. thank you so much for explaining that to us. thank you. now the white house says a ransomware attack that shut down meat production in the us and australia probably came from russia, j b s, which is the world's largest me packer. so operations destructed on monday investigation suggest the hackers were from a criminal group likely to be based in russia. this follows another hack last month from another group tied to russia, which crippled fuel supplies in the eastern us and a disruption to meet supplies could cause price rises into the summer peak season. now doctors in india say, a prominent p yoga tycoon, is a danger to the country's efforts to fight coven 19 by, by rom, this play blames motor medicine for corona virus. that's. he's promoting an alternative medicine,

which he falsely claimed was approved by the w h. o elizabeth per annum reports from new delhi me. this is a man doctors in india holding a national day of protest against yoga go to an businessmen. barbara bay was promoted, has herber formula called coronel to find the corona virus, while blaming modern medicine for india's high number of colored 900 deaths. and that's prompted doctors to launch they protest. and if i feel like india, where people tend to fall, knows better to lose you lose and that to blindly or when people like that, they spread mistrust misinformation. it becomes very difficult for us as you know, science base people as doctors do. why that misinformation, doctors are taking part in what they're calling a black day by turning their social media profile pictures into a black background. this group of doctors has gathered here to call for government

action against rom they've, they say he's taking advantage of the pandemic and has large public following to persuade people to buy his unapproved and dubious products are the so how about big or not the health minister hush been attended the launches coronel, that rom they've claims, prevents treats and cures close at 19. about then is the chair of the executive board of the world health organization, or w h o. rom, dave has claimed coroner was approved by the global body. but the w a chose denies that a senior journalist who had his car tires slashed while investigating rom they've business interests. claims he's protected by the government. sitting there in business begins 80. what. ready is behind the chance of being that you have seen and it's been documented to some extent just completely comical during

the delays of the government. he has a political sanction round the splits person didn't respond to l 0. request phone interviews, but the good count. millions of indians, his followers, including any solid wall who sells his range of products called patanjali. all hacky met, but then liberal to gilbert, and i have a thought whole. i don't tell, but angela products just for business. this is a matter of faith, glued on data shows us the way i had some element. but the moment i started hitting his summons, the healing process had already begun. many people in india have a deep trust in goose and alternative medicine. but many doctors say rom, they've claims can't be substantiated, and he must be held to account for his statements. especially during a pandemic. elizabeth moran and al jazeera new delhi, the leader of western horace independence movement, has left spain after denying allegations of war crimes,

including torture and genocide in court. but he li who heads the police sorry of front wasn't taken into custody. as the court said that no evidence had been provided, he was allowed into spain last month to be treated for corona virus. his presence in the country has led to a diplomatic dispute with morocco, which rejects the western sahara independence movement. it's for me to have led to a border dispute. ah, now that top stories on al jazeera countries in the european union have been urged to stop vaccinating young people until more people in poor countries are protected . the european center for disease prevention and control says it says it's a luxury that states should avoid while global supplies remain scarce. that message has been joined by a plea from.
