a we spoke to bravo. it were john approach. who has a column is a console of english, which is a news website in thailand. vaccine roll out has been very slow. it has been delayed currently only about 10 percent of the total population of 70 millions. also people have been given that 1st shot or job of vaccines and only about 4 percent of been given to jobs. my understanding is that in cutoff we sample half of the population's i've already been inoculated. so that's one thing. second has to do with some of the makes or the brands of the vaccine used. the while the oxford astrazeneca have been delayed, including the low cold production, the reliance now shift towards the final back, which is not very well received when it comes to the ability to

produce her immunity. so these are problems placing the thai government, but on top of that we are dealing with a new variance of course alpha and delta shipley. it's still alpha and the government shot the plan that did not anticipate the new variance spreading very speedily in bangkok and beyond. hard a new lockdown will also come into effect in bangladesh. from monday, weather has been a steady rise in infections and fatalities. thousands, a trying to leave the capital dock up before this new meshes come into force. and people in australia's largest city sydney woke up to the 1st day of a 2 week lockdown. it is now counted a $110.00 cases linked to the highly contagious delta variance, best identified in india. now the city of darwin in the north has issued

a 2 day stay at home order of the 5 cases where reported that malaysia is also extending its national lockdown to try to stop the spread of coven 9 team restrictions where to be lifted on monday. but the prime minister has said they will not be eased until daily cases fall below $4000.00. the measures were brought in on the staff of the month after the daily number of new infections topped 9000 relations reported more than 728000 cases. over the last 4000 death. meanwhile rushes captain. moscow has recorded its highest number of daily cove of death since the pandemic began. 144 people died of the illness in the last 24 hours . moscow has long been the epicenter of russia's outbreak on the may. it says around 2000 people being hospitalized every day. across russia, infections happen. searching for weeks on the delta variance is again,

mainly to blame. now the former chancellor, such java has become the new health secretary in the united kingdom of his predecessor was forced to resign. my hancock admitted breaching rules he helped create when he revealed he kissed an embrace, a woman in his office for brandon has a story. the aim, of course, is to break the link. unusually for a health zachary mat hancock rose to become a household name thanks in large part to the covert pandemic. while he stood out embarrassed johnson's cabinets as a minister influential in setting government policy and broadcasting daily briefings to the nation by some exciting new data. so on it was uniquely embarrassing for hancock to find himself in breach of social distancing rules for conducting an affair with an aide at work. it was also a wider context. caught up with him in his resignation letter to prime minister boris johnson, the hancock apologized to his family for putting them through this and said the last thing i would want is my private life to distract attention from the single

minded focus that is leading us out of this crisis, i understand the enormous sacrifices that everybody in this country has made but you have made. and those of us who make these rules have got to stick by them. and that's why i've got to resign junctions letter of response was full of praise. and concluded by predicting that hancock's contribution to public service is far from over. but despite the prime minister's ringing endorsement, the health secretary handling of the covert pandemic has been criticized by many really dating back to the early stages of the pandemic. allegations of cronyism, health care contracts awarded by his department to close contact of the health secretary. the claims that he lied to the prime minister about a fatal lack of testing in care homes. shortages of personal protective equipment, were blamed on procurement problems, leaving medical cast f at risk. in recent weeks, hancock was a subjective damning testimony by the former senior advisor to johnson. dominic

come expected for i think that the secretary of state for health shouldn't be fired for at least $1520.00 things including lying to everybody. multiple occasions in meeting after meeting and in the current room on publicly cummings also revealed whatsapp message sent by bonus johnson last year, calling hancock totally hopeless in the envelope. it was the charge of hypocrisy, which finally led to his demise. well, let's talk to paul. run and his lie for us in london. let's talk about the new health secretary pool a such a job. he's coming into the job in the middle of the pandemic. he has to hit the ground running. it's either right, man for the job. well as a full in tray that he has to deal with job it. i have to say he's an experience. government minister. he was the home secretary under theresa may when she was prime minister. and he was the chancellor on the, on the bar as johnson's government before he quit in february of 2020 some,

17 months ago after a dispute with downing street with dominic cummings over whether or not the chancellor and the prime minister would have to share a special advisory team, so he's got experience, he has no specific experience in the health department. and labor is the opposition party and they're not exactly happy about it because i was chancellor labor is saying that such a job was essentially the architect of austerity. the labor shadow, health minister, who's described as putting the fox in charge of the hand coop as far as for doing such a job it, he's made his 1st statement as health secretary. he's going into the office today. sunday morning. he said, we're still in a panic. i want to see that come to an end as soon as possible and it will be my immediate priority to see that we can return to normal soon on as quickly as possible. i've got a lot of work to do, and if you'll excuse me, i'd like to get on with it. what is the public respond spin?

do you think this is going to restore faith in the government? especially as these co, that measures have been restricting people specifically from traveling easily well, i think it's a little early to say sassy job. the point was only announced late on saturday evening. and so we haven't really seen many public opinion and any real public opinion from a proper opinion poll as such. certainly about hancock had lost the confidence of the public, the expose of him kissing and fondling bit personally upon appointed aid in his office on cctv excruciating video. not just for the public but for the families. of course. who had to look at that is at the close relatives of those the 2 parties involved. but the question marks as to how mat hancock is handled upon that mac had been raised for the many, many months. you know, the short g p. p. i mentioned in my report that the ring fence that was supposedly put around care and yet wasn't because the car was felt subject to fatal corona

virus. so it's clear that major mistakes were made up the same time as major successes were achieved as well. what such a job as challenge now is festival controlling what we're seeing here in the u. k, which is an uptick in new infections of current of ours, but also the long term issues. reform of the n h s. tackling the social issue, the increasing number of elderly who's can needs to be funded somehow by government appointment of a new and a chest chief executive, for example. there is the short term, but there's also the long term strategic stuff that such a job. it needs to grasp very quickly, and he thank you for that pull brennan, that for us in london. now the leaders of jordan and egypt are in the iraqi capital, baghdad for a summit with the prime minister jordan's king. abdullah was greeted by the iraqi president egyptian president of the cc landed earlier. he's met a rocky prime minister. the stuff academy summit is expected to address economic

cooperation and security correspond mahard. otherwise it has more from baghdad. according to the iraqi government, they're trying to achieve economic integration and by academic integration that that entails establishing a free trade zone or at city between jordan and iraq, to transfer it you should and jordanian products. so iraq, it also entails and putting electricity from egypt via jordan, into iraq, and also important egyptian labor force to take part in the construction and building operation inside iraq. there was anyone that can got the the 2nd of jordan has just arrived to join the education delegation. they were all received by the iraqi president emsella. and now they're meeting with prime minister, most of causing me for the cause of government as reporting that the now the,

the prime minister is meeting with the delegation. and they're now discussing get issues related to the economic integration related to increasing the trade volume between the 3 countries and also political issues along with issues security issues related to combating terrorism. there has been criticism towards this summit because many people here in iraq, we've been hearing many people including get political need to analysts. saying that iraq is that least beneficiary of the summit because it's going to be only a consumer of the products from egypt and from children. and meanwhile, whether or not this coalition will try to, to eradicate maybe or decrease the iranian intervention in iraq. that remains to be seen. let's get some more analysis on the story. joining us hendo is must allow you see a middle east analyst and commentator. thank you for joining the program. what do you make of this emerging alliance between jordan, egypt and iraq?

one now let's put it as the coming together, the regions, oddfellows, how would you describe it? so basically, ross has been trying to integrate within it's and i have been why are much for a very long time, several administrations within iraq have tried that. but they haven't succeeded so much and partially because that's because of the internal problems that iraq is facing. the existence of militias, high corruption, and bad infrastructure. there hasn't been improved. a significant improvement over canada correlation between the and countries such as jordan and egypt. so as your correspond, the diluted and back that the main benefits will lead to jordan and egypt. because erotic goods will not be an option or turning in marcus anytime soon. and at the same time, ross can basically sell oil to many other countries, especially now that the oil prices have been increased significantly. what do these

countries bring to the table? so their habit talks about bringing more electricity to iraq. the country had been suffering from lack of electricity for the past 3 decades, even before the us invasion in 2003. maybe there have been also talk about selling goods within the iraq itself, possibly construction of or investment in the infrastructure of iraq as well. but at the same time, i'm not sure how much erotic themselves will benefit from it. i mean, there have been also talk about the human capital of egypt, but the iraq itself has almost 40000000 citizens. so there could be an investment in the people themselves at the same time. also, instead of buying electricity from other countries, whether that jordan egypt or even iran, iraq should invest in electricity grids within iraq itself. and it has failed in

doing that because of the factors that i mentioned earlier. let's look at egypt motivation here. how much is this alliance, an attempt to regain its position as military might in the region, especially as the u. s. reduces its presence. so unfortunately, there is this procession that have persisted for a very long time that egypt as a regional power for that case. it's the case that go, egypt does not constitute the regional power, as it used to be in space and many problems such as. but the problem with the renaissance down with, with a few p o or a neighbor in libya, or even in c, 9 high unemployment. and it's failure also to try for direct investments. so i'm not sure how much it would contribute to the security of iraq itself, the country, egypt, last security in many of the,

of its bridges. so, i highly doubt the egypt will be able to solve the security factor that the u. s. would lead to the contrary, i believe that iran will increase its own presence in iraq. that's even possible because iran has significant influence within, within the iraq. and i'm not sure this. egypt will be able to test that picking up on that point. i mean, as you say, iran does have significant interest investment in iraq. do you think they're going to be worried at all about this alliance? i don't, i mean, we have to also look at the picture from a different angle in 2 months. we will have elections in iraq and most likely prime minister our cars will be replaced with another prime minister. and iran influence will remain constant. and of course,

if it feels that this influences under stress by any other government or any other country, of course, it will pressure political allies within iraq. and of course, the militias, possibly 2 targets to target these. these countries are these projects as we have seen by these malicious target and us bases constantly and most recently in iraq occurred this anything for you analysis? massage. lucy middle east down list. speaking to us from plenty more. had all the news, including johnson and johnson confirm it stopped selling. okay, always me, us help us settling a case so that role in the academic, educating about faith or politicizing, religion. we look at the $1000000000.00 mosque project, dividing opinion in button lead dash and the always, it's been a long time coming for the basketball team as i am on the brink of b and b,

a final ah, lebanese security forces have filed on protesters injuring at least 4 people stormed banks, the offices of power companies, and the cities of tripoli and seed on savings accounts have in one count by the plunging value of lebanon's currency. the world bank says lebanon firing economic crisis could be among the worst seen globally in 150 years. columbia is offering a reward of nearly $600000.00 for information about those behind an attack on a helicopter occurring president. even do k, the police say a gun found near the scene has been linked to neighboring venezuela. the helicopter was fired on while it was flying. neither border on friday. it's an area where leftist rebels and drug traffic because usually operates nearby,

was injured in the incident. if, if it's one of those rifles or a 47 rifles with a registration number that is already being searched by the investigators of the national police and prosecutors and the 762 caliber foul type rifle with the mark of the venezuelan armed forces, supporters of peruse to presidential contenders have called their supporters out for more rival rallies in lima. the socialist peddler, casita claim victory. and this month collection after the official count gave him an our lead. bought his right wing challenger kick off for more a one balance and nulls based on unproven allegations. the fraud she's pushing the current president to call for investigation on monday, i will go to the presidential palace. i hope to have the opportunity to talk to the president. otherwise i will personally leave a letter requesting an international investigation. arianna sanchez has the latest

from the process in the month of august. the marty are marching in the cap until divided by police. hi. so they do not clash. now both sides are saying that they are marching and processing to defend the past with the send their vote. it's been more than 20 days, didn't see election. i'm still electro official, not name the new president gets the supporter enough is enough. it is signed up electron officials name, then you press it and then just see you as a new president because he has more than 44000 both ahead of k. go for him already get out there. you know, the look toral officials have to speed up and name professor casteel president because that's what the popular vote has decided at the well, in the night. her best kept putting her on the electrical official, gay couple of the bodies, the boarders say they won't accept any result until all voting record confessed

that our results. this is all a fraud. it can't be fair. how is it possible that the national electoral jury has sold themselves and allowed a terrorist to become president, we want to free and independent country? the well, the fight is a national monitor, have to free and fair. both sides are convinced that they hold the truth. the country is feebly polarized. now the supporters say electoral official, the name in precedence now they are threatening halls and national. tried fighting between yeah, many government forces on who the rebels has left dozens of people dead in the gas which marie bridge. and this week, the area is b internationally recognized governments last, more than strong holes. the rain in back to face have been battling a military coalition, lead by saudi arabia, 5 or 6 years. the us that's fighting in marine as a serious threat to achieving

a truce. the conflict is widely seen as a proxy war between saudi arabia and iran, that these hold most urban centers on would have a great leverage and peace talks if they can secure murray. the fighting has had a devastating impact on yemen, which has now been pushed to the brink of famine. we can speak to hussein all because he's a pro hootie journalist. you joined us now from so many thanks for speaking to us on the program. what is your understanding of the latest in the fighting in maria? just in the last 24 hours for the lounge to huge attack and thought it didn't from north west maddie. but that is madeline in the south. west matter, but they have seized an area called bulk. i'll give them this area overseas. it might have done overseas as well as married the city. so the last 24 hours they

gained the huge area. and it seems to be know that many ought to be hidden, and i will be bad as they say to liberty, to invite the city of mighty band. because one of the main reason to do that because i'm out of city has become a hub. unlike i know, but i shall rule for the o. d. listen to attack him, and that's why they think by killing and married this actually will, will clear all know to pm and on it will make this. i would you lose one of the important area that was under the control in north north yemen, which is mighty city. they are some media reports that say a number of who the fighters are among those killed in mara. can you comment on that? i mean, as the media, they say they say like a 100 the who the vital that what it called, i didn't think this is true because when we see that the sun poses that they use what's called go to war. busy seek, they don't fight as classic war in. he was good or would like,

i huge but it gate they, they have small group from $5.00 to $10.00. this is the way that they have actually defeated the world, the o. d, a a to try to stop the attack out on the same time they keep to get in. so the base is in 1000. so the idea which means much it was the main base to launch it is to like that's why i believe that the do report the actually sometime they come before the news that will come maybe in the coming days some folders have actually gained huge area of mine, but i just want to remind you that the, even before the photos it has liberated name media is to send out another job but open and many area west of modern. we used to hear this type of news that there are dozens or hundreds of hold if i thought it would kill that. i think this type of news just so the buckboard is trying to cover the lose what they have lost on the ground. what are the, who these trying to achieve in merab and if they do get control over the the region,

what is the significance of that? i mean, they don't the what the, how the lead that i've developed. i've said many times as well that but it's been almost hidden and they said that the pies will continue till they liberate every quarter of yemen. so if they liberate matter, that doesn't mean that they will stop, they will continue that attack as they say, against or all foreign. a national have afforded me here in yemen either so the out a, b o tonight, the database. but of course, amount of is strategic because the east upside is one of the closest area that the so the are in control which close to the captains and that's why they have actually to secure the area. i'm sure that to now with the attack again. so the idea they will continue to target also do poses united out to be able to close yemen, and they just want to the after before the latest, before, maybe

a month ago when the attack divided by the thought of the house for the truth with my government and they said that if they don't want any attack on mad, that might have government should not lead to any foreign forces to, to, to stay in matter. they might have should not be an area for the. so the buck quoted is to conduct the attack against the voltage on the one they have demanded that, oh yeah, i guys put mad it should be distributed to all yet many across yemen equity. and i think this is actually did not have been because so the actually is the one who are in control of that decision. that's why we've seen this this late, this killer has been activated by it's and i voted thank you for your time. hussein because he a pro who the gen of speaking to us from, from a foreign snake, from deep within the ruins of an apartment building collapse in the united states.

all the latest problems, the crews searching the site. families and friends have made a memorial near the disaster zone in south side place to meet miami, florida. 5 people are known to have died, but 156 are still unaccounted for. its merge, the serious concerns were raised about the building structure. i'm foundations 3 years ago from so i have thought out there is heidi joe cast her report. 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. i mean, the spanish is very, very deaf, and it obviously is created quite, quite an obstacle. 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. you know, i'm concerned about my mom. i wonder if you miss the thing. i wonder if you didn't call any of us or investigators say it may take months to determine what caused 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 buzzing through the county has announced any immediate government review of all older buildings. the picturesque island on which the seaside residences sit is partially, ma'am, made, and may be sinking. and now is the sight of devastation. heidi ho, castro al jazeera sir, sighed florida, still ahead on al jazeera, waiting and suffering for a 2nd chance in life, i saw him seek his endure dismal conditions on the mexico us border. a powerful do over the phone to can tell you one of the potential dangers of murdering mines with machines uninstall. to block us the day on the track is us athletes. battle it out for charles to compete and exactly coming up late and a
