to infections and deaths to new highs in indonesia and russia, and box a 2 week locked down in sydney. for those of us who make these rules have gone to stick by them. and that's why i got to resign persons health minister quits after admitting to breaking social distances guidance by kissing and hugging a colleague ah the program. and we begin in the u. s. state of florida where fire is hampered, the search for survivors in the rubble of a building that collapsed on thursday. no survivors have been found since the early hours of friday morning. so far, only 4 people are confirmed dead. but with a 159 people fill on, accounted for figures certain to rise, and his hopes fail to finding any one else alive. it's emerged that an engineer raised concerns about the building several years ago. i did joe castro reports from

south side, florida. it's the 3rd day of tunneling in digging and somewhere deep beneath this rubble of fire is making the near impossible task of finding survivors even more difficult if you were there the morning after you didn't see it, smouldering like it is now. the stench is very, very depth, and it obviously is created quite, quite an the call. the search for life was briefly pause to allow firefighters to dig a protective fire trench. they still don't know what's burning or if the smoke is toxic, yet they press on. the biggest thing here is hope that's what's driving right now. in reality, the likelihood of finding more survivors in the rubble diminishes with each passing hour. the agonized families are waiting in a nearby hotel for news of their loved ones who were likely embed on thursday, when the building collapsed in the middle of the night. i'm concerned about my mom

. i wonder if chemistry thing. i wonder if you open up the quality of us or investigators say it may take months to determine what causes the collapse. but a recently surface engineering report on the building may contain some answers commissioned by the buildings management. 3 years ago, the report found major structural damage to the building, steel and concrete support, and a major error in construction trapping water around the underground garage. multimillion dollar repairs had been scheduled to begin soon. we are obviously very interested in all of the evidence that's coming to light and we're going to be including it and are what happens after the rescue. and in the meantime, we're taking action to make sure that other buildings are the county has announced any immediate government review of all older buildings, the picturesque island on which the seaside residence is sit is partially ma'am,

made, and may be sinking. and now is the sight of devastation. heidi jo, castro al jazeera sir, sighed florida, you are pharmaceutical company. johnson and johnson is saying it will stop selling its opioid painkillers across the united states. part of the $230000000.00 settlement made with the state of new york attorney general leticia james at the company's painkillers have contributed to a serious opioid epidemic. johnson and johnson didn't admit liability or any wrong doing. the settlement renewed, removes the company from a jury trial, which is starting this coming week in which several big opioid makers are the defendants. well, the u. s. government has declared the opioid crisis of public health emergency doctors began to prescribe pure painkillers at greater rates and the 1990 s. and the mistaken belief they were not addictive by 2018. around 10000000 americans were misusing the medication. i'm more than a 100000, were using heroin,

many of them addicts who tend to elicit drugs when they couldn't get prescriptions anymore. the us department of health says more than a 130 americans die every day from pure related overdoses. that's $48000.00 people a year. when gerald posner is an exec, investigative journalist, and author of pharma agreed, lies in the poisoning of america. he says, the settlement doesn't go far enough. $272000000.00 sounds like and it is a lot of money, but this is a company that has $85000000000.00 a year in annual revenue. you're going to pay this out over 9 years. they claim that they will stop making opioids. that's true, but essentially they've been out of that business for some time. the subsidiary, there's jameson, had sold the right to make her their opioid pain killer. a few years ago, they made a fentanyl pass that they really stopped. and what's not included in the deal is the fact that oklahoma, another american state, found them liable for about $500000000.00 just in 2019,

because johnson johnson controls intense mania about 60 percent of the production and crops of the ingredients used in the underlying opium, like oxy code and other ingredients in pills around the world. they aren't stopping that. so yes, this is a good deal in terms of getting something on the record, but it's not a great blow for justice. we the highly contagious delta varying 1st detected in india is driving up covert cases in countries around the world. indonesia registered a record 21000 cases on saturday, while russia reported 619 cove. a death switches its highest this year even pushed, australia's biggest says he said, need to order a 2 week lockdown. charlotte balice reports at a hospital on the outskirts of chicata, people infected with coven, 19 seek treatment, and the car park. this week has been indonesia,

that's right, i think they will some 2 rows even after the election. are this being a very serious campaign? yes, i'm saying say 1st celebrations, the radio of most of the main media countries favoring supporting the muddy. and the fraud allegations that feel supporters have said that they will not tolerate anything of the electron to fall the lights on the favor of seal. and in fact, you're saying that gives you money, really the one who is trying to commit fraud by calling this allegation, giving any, i'm also absurd versus monitors of the selection that, you know, from people service from the organization of american states transparency, international, canada, the usa, department, how can they can help in 3?

so called simulated cruises with vaccinated volunteers on board of 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 estimate that there are significant problems on the 1st cruises, it may end up having the effect of shutting that cruise for the rest of the year, which i think would be to catastrophic 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 one, the case may be far from over there still going to cruise if they want to. they're just going to cruise off at 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 and thousands of crews jobs. the threatened. the steaks then for the cruise

line industry couldn't be higher. these initial cruises need to operate without a hitch, potentially problematic, given that most passengers are older. nevertheless, tourists are keen to get back to see safely and cruise line giants khan, survive without them. the galico al jazeera miami, florida point everything right here, al jazeera dot com. there's that plenty of analysis there as well. that will take you behind the headlines. ah, the main story, this hour of fire has happened to search for survivors in the rubble of the building that collapsed in the us state of florida on thursday as hope fate of finding anyone else alive. it has a.
