coast and in british columbia, it looks like all these records could be broken over the weekend and beyond. sponsored cut on airways. i care about helping us engages with the rest of the world. we're really interested in taking you into a play. you might not visit otherwise and feel that you were there. ah, this is al jazeera ah, the time is $1300.00, gmc hello on come all santa maria. welcome to the news are here on. i'll just the ra contingent hospitals i fails to 100 percent capacity and beyond. that can run a virus infections,

reach and other records. i want to get mike and also for families. that's when we us police officer derrick showing, offering condolences, but no apology before being sentenced to more than 22 years. for the murder of george floyd, the search to survive as beneath that collapse, apartment building in the united states goes increasingly dia, almost a 160 people are filled. unaccounted for and turkey is beginning construction on a mega projects linking the mediterranean with the black sea environmental cooling at a bridge to far and in ford and stay one of the european championship. now carr rounds, one of the favorites, italy will be an action. they take on the austria at london's wembley stadium in what we're seeing, some more worrying over 19 trends this saturday. and they are being driven by that

highly infectious delta variance indonesia. first of all, where the president says his country face is an extraordinary situation. they counted more than 21000 new infections on saturday, which is the highest daily tally gets. i've got the big picture here for you from johns hopkins university, which is showing this is the entire period of the pandemic. and really, indonesia was at a very slow south, it had a spike in about january and now reaching above those tables. in fact, if i change the timeframe on the graph here, that is just the last 12 months, little bit more than a month. and it has been an upward trend ever since. earlier we had from policy analyst bang bang. how do you monte? who described the rising alarm? i'm afraid they're actually quite a bit of panic now because i think most of the hotel has to be a 100 percent of their capacity and even the the cemetery services are now being over capacity. so thing don't get better soon.

we know of rate that we will reach a breakdown in many cities around indonesia, then australia, which thought it a beaten virus has now seen its entire largest city sydney go into what's being called a hard lockdown official from the state of new south wales. the outbreak is spreading faster than anyone could have imagined. we're going to do this, we need to do it properly. there's no point doing it's rate. i locked down and then having the bars continue to bubble away in the community. now if after 7 days, there's a dramatic change in the trend. well, obviously we'll evaluate the situation. but at the stage, the best tilted box we had is that a 2 week period or until mid not the friday, the 9th of july is necessary in order to make sure we get to our target of your community transmission, which is always been our target from the beginning of the pandemic, but some european countries, spain, for example,

are easing their restrictions mosque wearing and other rules. they are confident that enough people are getting vaccinated. so let's talk to paul brendan about that in europe in the new center in london. paul, take us through who's eating water across europe. well as look mainly at the barrier and potentially can come out and stay in portugal. and as you say, spain has from today, saturday, relaxed its rules on mosque wearing for the 1st time in more than a year. it means that if you're outdoors now in span, you don't have to wear a mask. there are a couple of caveats. you do still have to wear a mask in doors, and if you are in a crowded place where social distancing is not possible outdoors, then you are encouraged still to wear a mask. then what's interesting actually is how many people are preferring to continue to wear a mask. even our doors should been looking at footage today from spain and some interviews too, from spanish, people in madrid saying that they are going to continue to wear a mask out doors,

mainly because they haven't been vaccinated yet. the vaccination rate in spain is only around 50 percent so far lagging behind some other countries. and so people are still extremely wary and i think there's a behavioral issue here as well. you become accustomed to wearing the mask for so long that you know, okay, the summer is here in europe. but if you haven't not a vaccine, you just don't yet feel fully safe. although the rules have changed really quickly to portugal and there is some concern about portugal. you mentioned the delta, very unfair at the start of the show. it looks now that more than 50 percent of all new cases in portugal, all the new delta various portugal and economy which relies very heavily on tourism . it opened up to foreign visitors from the middle of may hosted, for example, at short notice the european champions league final. and it's also, you know, obviously wanting to get as many tourists down to the golf for the i'll golf is see an all level and race reproduction rate of $1.00 at the moment on the grave

concerns. but the number of infections in portugal is really rising rather rapidly . and the vaccination right, there is only 30 percent in portugal. poking ask you about russia, which is obviously a huge country and the store is going to be very different across the whole country . but some petersburg, particularly i'm seeing stories of, of record numbers there and they've got major football matches coming up with the years as well. that has, that has been concerns raised about the link between the european championship football tournaments and to run a virus spread. and perhaps that these stadiums may access super spread. now i have to say that attendance at these stadiums has been pre conditional on you're actually showing a negative corona virus test. but that doesn't stop people's mingling in the streets and mixing with other members of the public who don't have to go through these tests. and russia has seen a spike in cases 107 virus deaths,

some consulting minutes over the last 24 hours. and that's a big jump. we saw finland playing in st. petersburg, which is one of the venues for the european championships. and some dozens of finland football support has contract that run a virus while they were there any of this weeks. if the officials of band food sales in the found zones, and indeed anywhere near the grounds for fear that the action of putting stuff in your mouth essentially acts as a vector for the virus. and it's the highest daily coded $900.00 toll. since the start of the pandemic in, in, in some pieces back. so you can see really grave. busy concern and this is after the world health organization angle and michael, the italian prime minister mario druggie last week expressed great concern about the way that the increasing numbers that were being encouraged back into the stadiums for your european tournaments were potentially going to act as the a spreading event, you know, in near over is it. okay, thank you. pull,

brian and with the view from across europe, there on to other news, 38 workers from doctors without borders have been killed. and ethiopia, chick, i region. the bodies were found near their vehicle on friday, group included a spanish national along with a 2. if your opinion, colleagues that these 128 workers have been killed, integrated since the fighting broke out between the military non groups back in november, a diplomatic get at a james space off the un secretary general's spokesman for his response to these latest killings. we cannot condemn strongly enough attacks on humanitarian workers, humanitarian workers, whether in t gray or in south sudan, we've talked a lot about that as well. are all too often targeted with we fear the goal of scaring away humanitarians. but what it does is it

denies. men, women, and children who need help the help that they need. so we sent our condolences to our colleagues at mid frontier to the us where former police officer derick shevan has been sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison. for the motor of george floyd, the judge said show than inflicted particular cruelty on floyd before his death in may. last year. it was of course, the video of shove and kneeling on floyd's neck, which spark worldwide protests against racism and police brutality. john henderson as our report from the sentencing in minneapolis. derrick jovan his drawn the longest sentence for a convicted police officer in minnesota history for the murder of george floyd. as for the one, the court committed to the cause of the commission of corrections for a period of 270 months as to 70. that is that tenure addition to the presumptive sentence of $150.00 pounds. this is based on your

abuse of a position of trust in authority and also the particular cruelty shown to george floyd. the $22.00 and a half years sentence was well under the 40 year maximum. but a decade over the state guideline of 12 and a half years. but floyd's family says it's still too short. we got justice, but not enough justice. the sentence marks a historic deterrent that civil rights leaders called a down payment on justice. one or not all a criminal justice problem, the united states credit must show the slain courage. there's jury show at home, police accountable inside the court room, fluids. families spoke of their loss. when you ask about him, what are you asking about or how that how my day is okay. do you wish that he was

still here with us? well, right. through his spirit. yeah. yeah. what were you thinking? what was going to you? well, you had to neil my brother's neck. the families called for a maximum sentence was answered by show van's mother. when sentence to my son, he will also be sentencing me when he is released, his father and i most likely will not be here. shield himself spoke briefly but still facing an appeal and federal charges for violating floyd civil rights. said little i want us in mike and also for the family hours before the sentence came down. the court denied jovan request for a re trial. under minnesota law, 22 and a half years doesn't really mean 22 and

a half years. jovan is expected to spend 2 thirds of that time. 15 years in prison . by that time you'll be 60. he spends the rest on parole. federal charges could add additional time and is expected to spend much of his time in prison as he's been spending it in solitary confinement. the case began with the bystanders. viral video of a black man dying under a white police officer's knee. launching a protest movement that erupt it across the united states, sometimes violently revealing a deep cultural divide. the murder trial that accelerated the black lives matter movement has ended. but in the streets of minneapolis in cities across the us, demonstrators said the movement goes on. john hinder and al jazeera minneapolis down to florida where rescue cruise said the prospect to finding survivors from a partially collapsed apartment building. new miami are diminishing by the hour for

people are known to have died when the collapse happened on thursday 159. a still unaccounted for, the haughty has its report. a sombre reality of the magnitude of the destruction, an emotional devastation after the collapse of the champlin towers. overnight emergency workers pulled several bodies from the rebel as the number of missing people dramatically increased. but officials are hopeful that more survivors who are trapped beneath the wreckage will be found. we have hope because that's what our search and rescue team tells us. that they have hope, they see opportunity. they see fishers that they could go in. they see places that they could break through and as long as they can do that, and as long as they have encouraging signs, like the knocking sound that they've heard, then we will continue. the mayor also says that more than 100 people have been accounted for at least 30 rescue throughout the night. so we

definitely, heartbreaking and i'm a relief. i don't know. the 4 of us stated things that have been so different by like 15 phases in the next family and friends of those still accounted for have been flooding this family reunification center. desperate to find any news on their loved ones. we're hoping that she is one of the hospital. we just don't know when we're going to hear from among the missing or dozens of citizens of latin american countries like argentina, venezuela, in paraguay on friday, paraguay 1st lady phil vonner lopez, maria traveled to florida. her sister and other relatives are unaccounted for. surfside is also home to a large orthodox jewish community. at least 20 of its members are believe to be missing as well. authorities on the scene say the priority remains, search and rescue. once that concludes the investigation into what may have caused

the collapse, we'll begin. we've had people working down in surfside, ad search and rescue non stop all through the night. it's a very, very difficult situation. as the rescue mission continues, the question remains, how long before this becomes a recovery operation? leo harding al jazeera. it's around quarter past 9 on a saturday morning in south side to florida. let's talk to hydrogen castor. who's there? heidi? get an update on the, the search and rescue in a moment. but 1st this building report which has been released, i've heard about, which is actually raising concerns was raising concerns 3 years ago. 2018. yeah, that's probably the most unbelievable part of this come all, apparently the city had a report that was drafted by a structural engineer in 2018. 3 years ago. there was a report commissioned by the buildings management and the results by the structural

engineer. he said he found, quote, major structural damage to the steel. and the concrete that holds up, held up this building. and he said that was due not only to the weather rain, but again this is a 40 year old building that stood next to the ocean for that long. but also because of a quote, major construction error in that the drainage that leads away from the foundation of the building was not built at a low. in other words, the water wasn't allowed to properly drain about, only contributed to the further deterioration. now this, according to the building associations lawyer was taken very seriously by the management and they in fact had used this report to create a plan of repair that was just about to start before the building collapsed on thursday. so the timing of this, the fact that the city had this report, the mayor of sir side said that he now has discovered that this report was emailed to the city in 2018. however, apparently,

the building inspection department was unaware that they possessed this report until reporters asked for them to look for it until now. and as you can imagine, it is only adding to the anguish of the families and friends who are waiting for news of their loved ones waiting for answer. yeah. and so that current situation. now i think 159 is the official number of people unaccounted for. i hate articulating this heidi, but the hopes are they must be so slim. right, that is the reality though. your hearings from the rescue workers and from the mayor that hope has not been extinguished. they continue through the hours. there are teams that rotate in and out. this is now the 3rd day though, of the rescue operation. the reality is come all that through this reparation only 2 people were pulled from the rubble and they were pope within the 1st few hours

after the collapse were waiting for an update from rescue workers. whether there is any other news to be found at this point with each minute with hours that passed by certainly the chances of survival of finding more survivors diminish even more. how does your castro inside florida the scene of that building collapse? thank you. hardy. coming up 18 minutes past the hour. here's what's coming up. a close call for the columbia and the president even do k during a helicopter bite me about his whaler is the u. s. cruise ship industry ready to make it come back after more than a year? of lockdown and sport hop right, for one of the greatest runs of all time. the detailed info lakes. ah, well, you have president joe biden has met his african count about our shops, county at the white house. the us troops prepared to leave afghanistan after 20 years of war by the and says,

washington support for afghanistan isn't ending despite the truth troll connie is unhappy with the move was when jordan has report in less than 2 months, the last of the u. s. combat troops in afghanistan will leave for good at the white house, a promise from the american president to his counterpart. withdrawl does not mean farewell. the partnership between afghanistan and united states is not going to be sustained. and you know, our church maybe leaving but support craft can stand is not in terms of support and maintenance of their helping maintain their military as well as economic and political support us government officials reassured us foss, connie and his delegation. the embassy and cobbled will stay open. they also announced billions of dollars a new humanitarian and security spending, to wit, $3300000000.00 us dollars to help the afghan security forces protect their country

. i am confident that as resolute support began to wind down. we will make the translation to a new relationship with afghanistan, forces one that continues to help you meet your responsibilities to your citizens. while golly accepted the offers the fidelity and financial lead. it's no secret, he's not happy about the us troops departure piece talks with the taller bond still haven't lead to a final power sharing deal. and militia groups still hold power in some parts of the country. but in this relationship between the us and afghan, a stan cobble doesn't have the final say. and connie knows to make president by doing deficient, has been a story, is made everybody recalculate and be considered. we are here to respect to and support on capitol hill. afghanistan has become

a code word for how the u. s. can help modernize another society that you know, in our country there is interested in the future of women and girls in afghanistan has, i think that progress was made. and i saw myself in my 9 visits to us can extend the advancement of women and girls. and your country, thank you for your leadership, but all the money invested in girls education and in economic development won't be enough. if the afghan civilian government falls from power, raising questions about why the u. s. spent 20 years there in the 1st place? rosalind jordan else's era washington took his president, is laying the foundation stone for a mega project that will link eventually the black sea and the sea of mama. the assemble canal will open up a lucrative new trade route will be about 45 kilometers long. but environmentalists,

the warning of a devastating impact on wildlife and agriculture, cynical fuel, you reports from its dental connecting to black sea to the mediterranean, through the mar marsey. the boss for straight is unique. it has beauty and provides a vital trade for. but as the mobile traffic grows, so to has the size of the vessels and number of all tankers wanting to use the straight and poses risk to the actual city of his stumble. so 10 years ago turkey's president project a pat, john revealed an alternate to global shipping lane and he called it canal a stumble. it was designed to stem those risks while at the same time generating a significant revenue for the country. he called it his crazy project, which had been based on who's on since 2005, and the real traffic has risen 72 percent in the boss for us. there is already active, public transportation tank has posed accidents and the narrow, straight pending vessels pollute the sea and cause emissions and the 45 kilometer

long canal project also includes the construction of new seaports, bridges, businesses, taurus, districts and artificial lakes. but since it's inception, there's been a controversy. open planners warn of environmental distraction, cut it in the mom or any of you can all of the rudest new canal, the black sea and the marble waters will get mixed. this will have ecological consequences and in peril and already tenuous water supply and marine life. these 1st islands provide the good livelihood for farmers, but it's feared he zoning plants could put the features at risk and that investors from both took candle received are buying up the land to make a quick profit. there are also concerns that cannot swallow up important waters or wars. the government said the colonel project is stored in a safe and environmental frenzy, but exports are warning of water shortages and 9 meter high. so now me weighs on

the mar marriot coast. if there's a strong earthquake in truck his largest at the end, that's a real possibility because that's our gym and as a former in stock for either in buck valley, the canal project with claim some of his village. he's not happy. if he was either let me do it or if we want to expand, the business spilled and into a bond, but we can't. it's forbidden. what i do is the only job. i know. i can only become a night watchman after these places become settlements. but of course, found the canal project as being seen as a means of national sovereignty. so my book would like to see these ships waiting when we have the canal they won't meet here. besides, they'll pay more than it's in my country's interest. the multi $1000000.00 project has exposed another raft into high till the rise politics of turkey. the government is determined to build a canal, but the opposition says it won't pay anything towards it if they win the next election. say now because solar al jazeera stumble,

some yield romanies with us now columnist and writer on the middle east in oxford, in the u. k. to talk about this, samuel, the, from the government perspective in turkey bay, i just absolutely determined to go through with somebody even though the cost of it is absolutely blown out. absolutely, as he is at the scene, is your project for the one he's been saying that the cost would be $9200000000.00 in the spring. then the estimate scott raised $15000000.00. now it appears as if a court is an independent surveys that is going to be probably north of $65000000000.00 not dimensionally environmental damage to them are basin. but one is insistent that they need to relieve congestion in the boss breast, and that this project can be vital for their conic tiffany to both the black sea and mcafee and say, so it does make sense. i mean, we just actually looking at pictures of these giant ships going to assemble and i know when i've been there just saying they just keep going all day long. economically speaking, it doesn't make sense. so commonly thinking there's certainly as a rush now,

because there's actually been involved increasing traffic in the boss for us over the past that century have 2050, they'll probably be another 2 thirds added on to that. so the be a ship congestion is a valid argument, but then the other questions are does that way the environmental cost to does also potentially pose the rest of your sovereignty. if the financing for this project is carried out by china, does it also suggest that turkey is reliance, perhaps over reliance on shipping for it straight? i think turkey is definitely important shipping power and obviously some of other ones. other infrastructure projects like the giant airport and other projects are relatively slowing downs. it's important that he says, shipping lanes open. but i think the biggest criticism really comes more from the environmental side of things and also from what this might mean for them on true convention. because that gives turkey sovereignty and also allows for warships to

pass. and if you allow another separate dev can out as being graded, that does not allow for just the bathroom. turkey could find this out, that hot water in the national legal sphere. so national, legal and environmental arguments are probably more concerning than anything about diversification of the economy and on that environmental side of things. and that's obviously what's an ins report was about as well. i mean, do you get the sense that anyone's actually listening to those concerns or again, is it just a project which is going to go ahead regardless? so i think that one is pretty committed at taking the project ahead. though there are certainly voices within turkey that are supportive of the environment. interestingly, they are coming from your store opposition parties, but also from the turkish military as well. so the turkish military actually signed edition urging this project you be delayed at to one to cry. that is military interference and civilian politics. and i think the 3rd one is going to be kind of keep good in castigating opposition to this project on grounds like this. and the

project will likely go ahead in spite of the opposition of $130.00 church and masters and the military officials. wow. samuel romani always a pleasure to talk to you. thank you for your time. thank you very much. come out. we get before we take a break on the news aren't check on the world where with world there is a heat wave running out for western canada and for the northwest and se specific northwest of the us. now british columbia as possibly a place to focus the record here, is forced to degrees. this is for jude. it's been a bit woman, july and august. but this is the unprecedented heat wave. all these places from calgary down to vancouver and then data idaho in boise, we'll see high attempts, but some of them are particularly high. let me just compare with the record as it stands, camera, so probably be to vancouver probably equal in portland, oregon and probably beat his record. the same is true kennewick in washington state . and this is going to last 4 or 5 more days. now, across the united states,

it is more typically warm as you would expect in some and humid. and once again, if you pull all the moisture up through the plane states and come against tempt his bit lower than that, you often tend to get big thunderstorms. and along that line, that's where they've been forming has been some flash flooding anywhere from arkansas through missouri. and beyond that, he's going to carry on for the rest of the weekend as an active line of sundry rain that would be flashed once that will be held and might even be tornadoes. south of that is a fairly wet spell, a moment in the counter beam it off the mexican coast. a developing hurricane. and rob still ahead on this news, our and economy in free fall, but not really for everyone who look at how some people have been cushioned in the crisis. and 11 years, the military attacks put a cash crop out of reach in the far as the me and mom were here with the iranian national wrestling team. and we'll be showing you the proportions they're taking to get ready for the olympic games. the age of covert 19.

ah, history is forgotten. peril yet in spain state him post them easier was enshrined in law. diminishing the plight of countless victims of franco's 36 year dictatorship. with a group of survivor has launched an international law suit hoping to bring those accountable to justice and force the country to acknowledge its fascist, passed the silence of others weakness on al jazeera. in the next episode of science in a golden age, i'm exploring the contributions made by scholars during the medieval period in the field of medicine. science tend to be a good subject to bring different people from all over the world together. office such as like a magical and the more i learned about it,
