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, we'll evaluate the situation. but at this stage, the best tilted box we have 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 and rushes reported highest daily death toll of the year spine can. infections is led to new restrictions in some reason. more than $21000.00 cases reported in the last 24 hours, which is more than double the number reported at the beginning of this month. and the russian cities in pittsburgh has also been hosting your 2020 group matches in finland. of spike of cases has been tries to football fans returning from their,

your mouth essentially acts as a vector for the virus. and it's the highest daily cove. it 1900 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 america, 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 the european tournament. potentially going to act as the a spreading event will have been celebrations in spain as to the requirement to wear masks outdoors was officially lifted masks of and mandatory across most spain . since last summer, they will still need to be warning doors, and in all areas where social testing is distancing is not possible. half spent populations received at least one vaccine dose and infection. there are 4 on to

5:07 pm
our colleagues at it's just awful to rescue cruise se the prospect to finding survivors from the partially collapsed upon building their miami, a diminishing body. our 4 people are known to have died when they collapse happened on thursday, and there are a 159 still unaccounted for hydrogen cancer as instep sides, florida 1st, we'll talk more about that riskier, if it in a moment. heidi, the 1st thing on ask about is this building report which has been made public an engineering report warning off structural problems back in 2018? that's right. that's right from 3 years ago. come all that is when the building management here commissioned a report by a structural engineering firm to study issues. and the findings were quite stunning . the structural engineer wrote that he found a major, a structural damage to the beams and the concrete and the steel that essentially was holding up this building until its sudden collapse early thursday morning. and
5:08 pm
the report said that yes, this building which faces the ocean and is right on the beach was weathering because it's been here for 40 years, being battered by the wind, by the salty air, by the water. but not only that, the engineer found that there was a major construction error back into the buildings origins in that one of the labs essentially holding up this building was built in a way that did not allow water to average adequately drain from it. and he thought that was a contributing factor to the deterioration. now it's important to say that this report from 3 years ago did not raise any alarms or red flags, saying that the building was that imminent potential of collapsing. however, the management did receive this report and apparently also this report was given to the city of serv side, the mayor of the city, saying that the engineering department, the building factors or the city were not aware that they even possessed this
5:09 pm
report until they went back and checked now after the fact, but all of these, of course, raising very alarming question, could this have been prevented? and as you can imagine, just sharpening the anguish that the family members of these 159 missing continue to feel they're just in a hotel. a few blocks from here are still waiting for. and unfortunately, heidi, we do have to be very realistic about the 3 days later. and that number of on account of for which is only going up in those times unlikely to change things. right. and it's important to, to point out that there were 2 rescues out of this rubble since the buildings class . but those rescued happened in the early hours not on day 2. and we have, we are waiting for an update that actually we should receive in a few minutes time from rescue workers. but there has been no indication thus far
5:10 pm
that they have found any further survivors overnight. the death toll at this point remains at 4 dead. but again, with $150.00 plus, still missing. the fear here is that the death hole will only rise. just awful, isn't that? thank you for that report. how does your account, sir? so florida still in the us and former police officer derick chavez has been sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison. for the motor of george floyd, the judge said, shogun inflicted court particular cruelty on floyd before his death in may. last year. it was, of course, that video of shaven kneeling on floyd's neck, which spunk worldwide protests against racism and police brutality on hindrance. as i report from 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 of 270. that is
5:11 pm
a tenure addition to the presumptive service of $150.00. 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 not crawl, a criminal justice problem. the united states credit must show the same 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 oh wow,
5:12 pm
that's how my day is. okay. do you wish that he was still here with us? well, rushing through his spirit. yeah. yeah. what would you think? what was going to you? will you had you 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 sent to me when he is released, his father and i most likely will not be sure. she'll be 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 family hours
5:13 pm
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 he'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. the but in the streets of minneapolis in cities across the us, demonstrators said the movement goes on. john hinder and al jazeera minneapolis in

$35.00 degrees, beijing and the same is true for north korea. the south is that it should be dry season at the moment for java and for bali. he doesn't, but like you to have to say the indian ocean this far east is quite warm. it's developing more south and you might expect they actually widespread throughout in the navy and malaysia. they should be in the lazy that is normal. this time the friends needs you not say, but that's the case for the next 2 days. as for india, the monsoon advance as stalled the time being so rochester and beyond remain dry hot and dusty in delhi, the heaviest rate has been up towards be ha, it's probably going to ease off there the next day or so. but there is still still still some arrived. the be part of the debate itself distinctly the end in the us or in the u. k,
5:16 pm
because it will just come back again when no topic is off the table. what we wanted to talk about were these land white men touching aloud your dream, where a global audience become a global community, jump into the comment section. and part of those discussion there are like kinetic efforts to silence fell opinions on the online based on al jazeera. ah, the the, the top, sorry this our on al jazeera, indonesia has recorded its highest daily increase in cove at 900 cases of 21000 new infections registered on saturday and 358 dead rescue crews say the

this trips because he now heads up going to stand high council for national reconciliation. spoke to our white house correspondent, kimberly how could about the country the next steps that are bella. thank you for joining us. you were just wrapped up this meeting with the us president. what security assurances did he provide you? prison by then assured ass, the president of upon the sun and all of us and the delegation. that why lead death troops will be leaving a new trying. and it will be completed in a few days time or a few each time, no commitment and support of afghanistan, national defense and security forces will continue. but given the taliban gains, are there going to be enough numbers in terms of security support? i say that to that to those gains will not be permanent. i'm sure about it. diff taking advantage of the gap temporarily. and to that, that will not,
5:23 pm
that will not sustain itself. we saw when the soviets withdrew and the country descended into civil war. how can you be so confident that won't happen again? it was a completely different context. the soap it with all into solving themself disintegrate . cornerstone was isolated from, from the rest of the world. we were fighting against banana, that was cheer, provide the oppurtunities for taliban to dig to take advantage of it. today we have millions of people who have received occasions they are aware of their rights . they have exercised different, different way of life. that taliban will be faced with, with that sort of situation and then to, to suppress the whole nation will not be possible. do you see worrying sides, particularly when it comes to the, the power sharing negotiations? when will be oblivious,
