a few cases of the delta. various happy consent and race of things you see it is spending a travel bubble with australia. rescue cruise is searching for survivors from a collapse department block near by 159 people, a filling or for from 2018. the building needed repairs. the major structural damage was returned out to our top story. the resurgence of corona virus case is due to the delta variance. here's what we know about the strain so far with 1st detected in india back in april and the since spread to more than 80 countries. the variant is not responsible for 90 percent of all new infections in the u. k. and 20 percent in the u. s. experts say it spreads more easily because of mutations which help that latch on the cells into our bodies. because viruses constantly mutate, research is, are still investigating. if this strain makes people more thick. while they have found is that vaccines are effective against del, terse,

more so for people who have had 2 doses will dr. and leaves, while the smith is a vaccine all just and professor of emerging infectious diseases at the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine. she joins us by skype from grinnell volved in switzerland. thanks for your time. so the delta very and it is then more transmissible. is it more deadly or? and also is it as vulnerable to vaccines? will the immune response from vaccines as all the strains? so indeed, the database is the 4th variance of concern and w h o. things, it's the fastest and fittest it is. it is definitely the most transmissible of the for that mean attack rate is higher. in fact, more people, it can spread faster and we are seeing that now in as we saw them in the most trailer indonesia in the u. k. and i think we'll see now increasingly in europe,

and indeed also in the, in the america, whether it's really the cause of more severe disease has not yet been confirmed. so if you see more disease, even all the seed, more hospitalizations, does not meet, doesn't mean that the vice itself causes more severe disease. ok, what about, what does that mean? i always want to ask you about the vaccine efficacy. we know that, you know, the w h o has said your vaccines are effective, but are they as effective? so we've seen a reduction in vaccine effectiveness for all the forbearance of concerns, but most for the better varying from south africa for the data very in what we've seen. and we've seen data, especially from the u. k. that the 1st dose vaccine effectiveness is clearly reduced down to 33 percent. it should be about 70 percent. but reassuring the

and i think that's the key message. the 2nd dose still brings up the vaccine effectiveness to the to, to higher than 80 percent. and even more important, it does still prevents against the severe disease. that means again, hospitalizations, ice, you, admission and death. what about delta plus an apparent mutation of this mutation can. can you just explain to our audience what bat is, what we should be prepared for? so that already very, very around the delta delta plus one additional one the india it's so medium down spent or made the statements that they think it's another value of concern w a show has not yet confirmed. we need to wait for more data on, you know, on, on, on what the call neutralization, activity, immune escaping mechanism. we need more data to really show that the associated with

a higher class with ability. but so we need to watch it clearly just all i've got you seems to be a bit of confusion out there around. if you've got the vaccine, can you still pass the virus on what is the science telling us right now? so we have not increasing body of evidence showing that vaccines indeed also reduce transmission. that means that not only reduce or prevent symptomatic illness, but also a symptomatic infection. it also the vaccines, all the reduce, the viral shedding, but it's not a 100 percent reduction. so you can still it's reduced but they can still occur. alright, thank you very much for your time. i have lived there, talk to while the smith there of x and just and professor of emerging infectious diseases. help regulate his in the usa, the father and the done. a vaccines carry a very small risk of heart information,

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've got justice, but not enough justice. the sentence marks a historic deterrent that civil rights leaders called the down payment on justice. one does not fall a criminal justice problem. the united states credit must show displaying courage. there's jury show at home, police accountable inside the courtroom 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? la, rushing through his spirit. yeah. yeah. what were you thinking? what was going to? yeah. well, you had to neil my brother's neck. the family's called for a maximum sentence was answered by sho vins mother. when you sentenced my son, he will also be sent to me when he is released, his father and i most likely will not be here. shelven 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 the 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. children 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 a bystanders viral video of a black man dying under a white police officers. ne, 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, his ended but in the streets of minneapolis in cities across the us, demonstrators said the movement goes on. john hinder and al jazeera minneapolis. a

funeral has been held for late philippine president bennett go aquino, who died on thursday. age 61. he led the country from 2010 to 2016. his successor rode re good 30. has declared 10 days of national mourning for the 1st time in 15 months, a cruise ship loaded with passengers will leave us on saturday. the industry hope that will help them recover from the devastation caused by the pandemic. and to galico reports from miami to say the cruise industry was decimated by the curb at 900. pandemic would be an understatement. the 1st cases that the diamond princess in february, last year in japan, infecting over 700 people and killing 14 as a virus spread to other ships across the world. passengers and crew were stranded at sea ships were turned away from ports, and in industry was billions. ground to a halt. i'd say the hardest part is being told. pack your bags, get ready,

you're going to, you're going to possibly go home today for example, and then that doesn't happen. and you kind of go now what's gonna happen with increasing vaccination rates, new safety measures. the industry is hoping to make a comeback in north america, so called simulated cruises with vaccinated volunteers on board have be making test runs for weeks. royal caribbean already been forced to postpone the inaugural trip for one of the ships after a crew members tested positive. i would almost destiny that there are significant problems on these frustrations. it may end up having the effect of shutting that cruise for the rest of the year, which i think would be strapped to the industry and florida. consider the cruise capital of the world government guidelines requiring vaccine passports in issuing so called no sale orders, that lead to confusion. the states governor rhonda census challenge the rules in court and won the case may be far from over there still going to cruise if they want to. they're just going to cruise off a different coast. so they'll cruise the go to the bahamas and cruise. they will

spend their money and it's just not going to be putting our friends in florida back to work. how does that make any sense? the cruise lines at the national association says billions in revenues already been lost in thousands of cruise jobs. the threatened the steaks and for the cruise line industry couldn't be higher. these initial cruises need to operate without a hitch, potentially problematic, given that most passengers all dead. nevertheless, tourists are keen to get back to see safely and cruise line giants conservation. without them galka al jazeera miami, florida, a highly anticipated u. s. government report has failed to reach a conclusion on the nature of your phones. pentagon report congress covers 144, citing, stating back to 2004. only one case could be explained with a high degree of confidence. id and spacecraft could not be ruled out. ok, davis is a senior analyst at the australian strategic policy institute. he says the us

military would be more worried if the strange aircraft or the work of rival countries here on earth. i do think we need to put a t firmly in the background and leave it to one side and think about what we can explain through more simpler explanations. there's a saying that usually the simplest explanation is usually the truth. and i think we really do need to apply that here. and so we're not seeing extraordinary evidence to the effect that these things are alien. so we need to push that one side. what does that leave us when it leaves us with technology calls sightings that really can't be easily explained by our current understanding of aerospace capabilities that require the study. and the most interesting thing, i think, is the possibility that these may be manufactured by foreigners. that rate, that gathering intelligence on the united states. well,

the interesting thing about the report is it doesn't support. and it does this explicitly. it does not support the suggestion that this is somehow a us government project. and then it goes on to say, well, there's no evidence really, that it could be upon it best re over that. then in the next breath that says, we need to study the things to at the time when they are part advisory capabilities . so that means that there is some doubt in the minds of investigators as to whether this could be something foreign created or something that's being created inside black projects in the us or that needs to be study still ahead on al jazeera and for the danish and welsh football fans hoping to take not don't success. heroes . ah, india has been devastated by the coven 19 pandemic. the one when

ah, ah, fuck back for mushroom gather is along the tie me and my border the monsoon season usually signals a ton of abundance. a rare mushroom is found in the forests, but those who go looking for them and now hiding from possible attacks by me, most military, tony chamber bulls hidden away under the jungle canopy searching for something almost impossible to see. that is a mushroom hunter. forging for a rare, fun guy in the forest some time. yeah. my border known as the top mushroom. there are favorite of his ethnic group, the career any. but this year the hunters are as rare as the mushrooms they're

looking for. a mat, the co any people have fled to violence in me emma are still in the forest. there are lots of this mushroom where they are, but they are not brave enough to go look for them because of the burmese military. that might be good news for pet. it means there's less competition, but it's still very hard work. the mushrooms hidden on the side of the steep forests, they look like little pebbles, and they are only in season for a month. these tiny mushrooms are incredibly hard to spot. they pop above the surface when the monsoon rains, pull down to the crack in the jungle and refresh the sport just in the ground. the mushroom hunt is particularly important this year. the currently on the tie side of the border have been suffering to pet belongs to the long neck, correct tribe, famous for the distinctive brass bands. the women wear around their necks. most of the tribes income comes from tourism. but that is stopped because of the cove at 19

pandemic. however, chefs across thailand, a willing to pay high prices for these mushrooms. when cleaned the little round balls they usually sliced and added to dishes, bringing a pungent flavor of the forest. with a surprisingly crunchy texture, said the young cord, how by the locals really look forward to june, so they can collect the mushroom for their family and sell them. this mushroom is really pricey. just a handful is worth a lot. today's harvest is more than a handful and should pitch a very good price. pet is even turning down buys, who call looking for supplies in these difficult times. the carini nature's bounty is small nuggets of earthy black gold. tony cheng l to 0 on the time me on my border with i'm now ford has santa thank you very much. it came wal max 1st step and has secured poll position these terry and go on pre defending will attempt to

iran wrestling team ahead of the departure for the tokyo game. yeah. it's known as iran, national sport and being the best at wrestling can bring prestige on a and national fame. iran has won over 40 limbic medals in the sport over the past 6 decades. the most famous iranian wrestler will arm rather dirty watches over them. but preparations with this, he has games in tokyo, a very different the kobe pandemic has changed everything in a way of goals to we have to admit the corona had a considerable impact on our athletes preparation, body, fitness and progress. we lost a great deal of time around wrestling federation did a great job over the last 6 months. when the most important thing about the take care lympics is the absence of spectators fans of the spirit of the game. they motivate the athletes and fuel energy and excitement to the atmosphere. the

athletes are staying at a sports village train twice a day and forbidden from leaving except for a few days a month. they have to get tested for coven 19, and quarantine when they return to be arrested. in this country is to be instantly recognized many uranium. it symbolizes the part of who they consider to be one of the topics in the world. that's why these rest it cut up some of the people that can't take the risk of being infected and missing the game. even for us to get active in here, we have to test negative over $900.00 iranian friends, including athletes. families won't be able to travel to tokyo, it's added to the challenges these athletes will be facing. but to ron has some of the best wrestling facilities in the world. wrestling federation has tried to provide them with everything they need for their time. you know, it's elation doctors, physiotherapists nutritionist, and several coach is all at hand 24 hours a day. i don't know who they are the each time we enter the camp. we do pci test

stain quadrant the for one day and then joined other of restless. we can't leave the camp easily or go out. we are always inside the rest of the house and justin, more than 50 iranian athletes will attend to tokyo against the country, has tried its best to shield them from the pandemic. iran has been the worst affected in the middle east. these restless have received 2 doses of a covert vaccine, but they still need to adhere to health protocols. but the most difficult thing is staying in the camp without being able to go out and the easiest. nothing in the national team training can be z z, but the may be the easiest thing to do. iran will be competing in, ty condo, fencing, and many of the sports. but like in previous years, many here are pinning their hopes on the countries restless, making it to the winners. podium. i said big al jazeera, that on for time,
