for more than a year, haiti escaped the devastating impact of covered 19 reporting, few cases and deaths. but now it's grappling with its 1st serious outbreak. it's, you had to administer a single vaccine chart, and health officials say the upward trend that infections could prove catastrophic . theresa been reports there escaping gang violence. importer prince. over 500 people are seeking refuge in this ford stadium under the protection of the red cross. among the displaced are almost 100 children and pregnant women, but it's not just the gangs, they're afraid off in the middle of up and demick. it's also cove at 19. 42, we are afraid because we don't know when the virus will hit us. that's why we're asking the government to do something for us because we've lost everything during the gang violence for the past year and

a half of the go with 19 pandemic. the number of cases in haiti have been considered to be low, but in may, the numbers of cases started to rice. dr. boy printer, who is working at the hospital, importer princess. she has already lost friends and relatives to covered 19. no parking what's under my lot. good. and we understand that cova became a big reality in haiti now. now like before, when we have one or 2 cases and we have doubt about this disease. and now there are a lot of families affected by cove it and we also hear more and more people are dying from the disease. haiti is the poorest country in the americas. it has only around $240.00 cove in 1900 bed for each population of over $11000000.00 people. and i see the increase of coven in haiti is a problem. a lot of our hospitals already occupied and we don't have a big sense of a covert that can take 202300 patients. at the same time, haiti has not received a single vaccine dosier to prevent corona virus,

a lack of resources, infrastructure and testing are a major concern. the numbers of cases and deaths a relatively low compared to other countries. but dr. stay, the actual figures are probably much higher. the country is also now in the middle of a political crisis. protestors have been taken to the streets against the government's attempts to reform the constitution. and gang seemed to be in control of entire areas across the country. many are afraid of going to a hospital and being caught in a firefight. we are the state in this country. the police is not strong enough to do anything without us. nothing can function in this country. the pen american health organization says haiti will be receiving vaccine soon through the kovak. distribution system is also helping increase supplies of protective equipment for health workers. but it's the violence and insecurity that has many terrified in the country. a major problem when trying to fight a deadly infectious disease. that is,

i will, i'll just euro the e u has endorsed the vaccine certificate for travel within the european block. and the certificate would act as a vaccine passport and allow vaccinated travelers to move between european countries without needing to quarantine or have covey. the tests. it's hope the new rules will boost europe's pandemic ravaged, tourism industry as the continent to enters its peak summer season. meanwhile, indoor dining at restaurants and cafes has resumed in france, center a 77 month shut down the country's lifetime. curfew has also been pushed back to start at 11 pm instead of 9 pm. france is the most visited country in the world, but it's taurus trade is taking a heavy hit throughout the pandemic. many are hoping the easing of restrictions will ensure a summer tourism boom. new zealand has long been

praised for its handling of the current of virus pandemic. and now that success has propelled all glinda to 1st place on the economists annual list of the world's most livable cities. the top 10 cities were dominated by islands of nations, museum and new zealand, japan and australia, which have resilient health care systems, and remained relatively open throughout the pandemic via and now chose the previous holder of the top spot crashed out of the top 10 altogether. it was one of many european cities that fared badly after a year of locked downs. but the bottom end of the list remained that chart, largely unchanged. serious, damascus, perhaps, and surprisingly still clasped as the world's least livable city, followed by legal sin, agirri, and port moore's be in pop for new guinea. well, let's talk to one of the offers of the global livability index 2021 and

a nicole is who's industry director of the economist intelligence unit. madam, thank you so much for joining us here on al jazeera. ok, so let's look at the winner as the top 10 cities. what factors did you look at? and specifically, how much of an impact did the pandemic have on your list? we not quite the number of factors ranging some things like the shit and the ease of communication is to thing, but how kevin education and the environment around the cities. and then we move them into into 5 categories. so the 5 categories, stability, health care, education, culture in the environment, an infrastructure. so all of these factors were taken into account in terms of the pandemic. it had a huge impact on livability rankings. we've seen cities rise and pool over the last year, year and a half as a result of the pandemic. and the fact that oakland has come out top is directly

because of the product pandemic is. so when you say that one of the things you look at, we're also cultural issues. does it mean that city is perhaps like london, new i've, you know, buzzing, cultural as seen were particularly penalized during the pandemic and hence fell down the rankings. i mean, it's all to do with the timing of the survey. so we did the surveys every 6 months and it's a combination of surveys and data that we pull into this and to the ranking. and the, the survey beetle was that he done between the middle of february in the middle of march, when a lot of your it was under very strict lockdown because obviously when cases were rising. and so a lot of the european countries and cities fell down the rankings. and those cities like new zealand, like all the news, the land that were able to be relatively open within close folders. but at really

well in the rankings. looking at the bottom of the rankings, i mean, obviously finding damascus, there is hardly a surprise and then legal since jerry. yeah. any changes that you noticed in that end of the rankings? as you mentioned, very few changes. i mean, basically the, the countries and cities that are at the bottom of all rankings afflicted by conflict and where the stability, the health care system, the education system, a chip faulty disrupted, and not so much regardless of the pandemic, obesity pandemic, to put extra strain on those cities, so in particular that health care schools have gone down during the last year. ok. because obviously we've had the pandemic in the past year and a half. do you think that may be this list this year? is a bit of a blip. if you forgive that expression that maybe next time you do, the rankings will see more european cities and maybe not all, clint,

nothing against folk, and don't get me wrong, but maybe know that 50 top of the list. i hope it's a blip. to be honest because we're not in this situation, but as i mentioned, we also do it every 6 months. and as you know, that the season element to the current virus. so actually when we do this, i have a mac which will be around, but i'd expect your pin city to do better in terms of restaurant being and public space. it's been, i've been so definitely they will come up the rankings again. hopefully they weren't then tumbled down again next winter because will then be at the tuition why would containing the pandemic a little better than we were? well, i certainly hope so, and a nichols industry director at the economist. thank you so much for being with us. it's a fascinating list. thank you. but thank now is good. obey mia with a parliament has voted to impeach president the earlier matter after an investigation concluded that he violated the constitution. the president's role in obeying is considered largely ceremonial,

but metal has regularly clashed with the prime minister ab rama. he's accused of breaking the rules of his office by citing with the opposition during election campaigning 2 months ago. or baby is top court now has 3 months to decide whether to back his impeachment on several polices following events for us in the capitol tirana. there could still be a constitutional crisis arising out of this because this is not over. the parliament may have voted to impeach the president, but it is not solely up to the parliament. the parliament will now send the results of the vote to the constitutional court. it is for that court to decide whether the president has to leave office. and that is more complicated matter because the court is non partisan and it has to decide things on strictly legal grounds. so this is not over the political acts. if this is over, parliament has expressed the will essentially as prime minister at the rama and the

socialist party. it is base has been the most of the force behind removing president. never, ever since he and prime minister rama broke ranks over a political spat in 2019 about when exactly local government elections should be held. as a prime minister rama felt at that time, the president position favored the opposition democratic party ever since then. he vowed to remove him, in fact, he held a parliament recession in june of 192 to begin the process of removing him. he sentient the president in that session that the time. so we still have a ways to go and legal and constitutional terms. still head in this news, our organizers of the tokyo olympics reveal more plans to make the games as safe as possible. that's coming up in sports with mio fluff. oh, you're more of a traditional art form. deliver as a modern message chopper ones,

retroactively. maybe not on the marker. this is not surveillance, it's not the constant monitoring. if there's a problem with someone's behavior, the gps can show proof of their actions, or they can show that they didn't do such a behavior. this is how it will be used. we want to do this getting people's consent in advance to it's proving very tough just to get athletes and teams. qualified for tokyo. australia is olympic baseball team has had to give up on competing at the games altogether. they've pulled out of the final qualifying tournament because of what they describe as insurmountable travel in quarantine logistics. we'll round 80 percent of athletes who have qualified have been vaccinated by the international olympic committee wants to get that number even higher. what we are doing at this point in time is to contact every single n o c, every single athletes and see whether we can help this effort continues. so it's

constant and every single day. and as you know, we have, we have offered a number of, of hubs for, for a number of sees to benefit from vaccination. so really we doing every effort we can experts at the pan american health organization have worn to brazil against holding the corporate america football tournament. that starts on sunday for those players who beat paraguay. and a world cup qualifier on tuesday, say that they're unhappy with the last minute decision to switch the copa from argentina. but they say they will not boy caught it. there have been more than 476000 coven related deaths in brazil. that you in the 3 are seeing a clear across our region this year have been west then last year in many places, inspections are higher now than at any point during this the

each other on thursday. and what organizers hope can be a break through for inclusion in the sport, the scan to navy, and mixed as it's called as a tournament that's being billed as the 1st ever entirely equal pro golf tournament . paul reese reports, i think it's 13 years since on a concern swung a club in a pro tournaments on home soil. now perhaps the most famous woman in gulf will be just another player, one of $78.00 women competing with $78.00 men at the scandinavian mixed build as the biggest pro told them. and yet to feature both genders. there are european top ranking points on offer, and $1200000.00 in prize money. the lemme gold mine and if you go fan, you think it's fun to watch the women and men skulls and now having them here on the same course. of course, we can compare how they hits, how they play. service time is hosting the tournament alongside fellow sweet henry extension. hoping that truly famous female golf has come become the rule rather

than the exception. making gulf a more equal game isn't just about men and women playing together. it's about leveling up the rewards on offer. while this torment makes a start, there's a long way to go. look at the money lists on the pga tour shows just how big the pay gap is. the leader for the men is bryson shown by with more than 5800000 earned in 2021. for the women us open when you can south side with 1000000 for those trying to earn enough just to keep playing the situation. it's stock down at a 100 in the world. perry delicate has made just over $44000.00. her mail account part hudson swafford is much more secure with $985000.00 this season. i laugh at it now because it's ridiculous, right? i mean, we do the exact same work for the exact same scores. pretty much and still it's such a huge difference. so my plan is to go pro for the next year, shouting at sponsor for weaving them. but i mean,

it's hard. i think it's hard for everyone on tours 21 year old diction dog is one of india's few female professional golfers. in 2019. she became the youngest winner on the lady's european tour and is hoping a shad stage can push it even further. yes, it's going to be challenging for us. we will see the game and we will learn so much from them and began to bad dog was more teacher than students against men in the program. but the main event will see how much with some of your ups best. continuing to make golf a true competition between the sexes could be to everyone's benefit pull rece outages, era gotham back. all right, let's go back to barbara and london. leah, thank you very much. now opera and the indonesian deforestation might seem unlikely partnership. but conservationists and musicians from indonesia are using the music of wagner to spread the message about their fast disappearing forests that vast and
