virus elsewhere. yes, there's been a clear danger of that now the government actually has been imposing very limited shut down on and off for last one months. but people were not abiding by the and it was not enforced now on friday, their government. and now that district locked down and it will be in force. that's when the people got panic and thousands of people are leaving the capital city. the buses restrict, the trains are shut down so they're going by any means to transfer some people are actually walking because from the day july 20th june, sorry, july 1. there will be a complete shut down and it will be enforced by law enforcement agency, including the military will be applied so people are panic. they want to be with their family. they want to be in the home to stay god in the rural villages. now the good question is why it took so long. the virus has been spreading since may 15th. that was record and then fluctuate was growing high in the bordering to say

the government still the same for the strict or shut down bangor that says 4000 kilometer a border with india. and it's very part of a lot of trade. people going back and forth, now it's spreading through the capital city hospitals in the district with bordering india. our full it's is, are in full capacity. it's still not a crisis point, but it could very well reach that the health department spoke by them today. say there's a clear danger of real spread of the bias, the indian body and all the delta barry and the country. unless sick measure are immediately not impose. now things are very still normal in the city that will be limit shut down tomorrow, monday till thursday. and from thursday it be a complete shut down and give us a sense of what things have been like for people as infections have risen. well, there has been number of that red been going up and infection rate in the bordering

area has been as high as 60 to 70 percent. those close to the in indian bought are, but people who aren't panic, we have done some of the brought from the state showing our normal it is in the shops, right? open restaurant and open the. the question remains why the government or the health department didn't take it so seriously and then impose a lot done since man, when delta a very and was already detected in many different towns bordering with india. now the people in general, i'm not panic. their concern, but now they realize this infection is spreading to dhaka and people are getting little panic in now. if things are not control, it could spread just like an india. okay, many thanks for that tundra, chattering that for us in a cruise in the united states have managed to contain a fire burning deep within the ruins of an apartment building collapse in the united states. families and friends have made

a memorial near the disaster zone in surfside close to miami, florida, 5 people and known to have died. but 156 people is still on, accounted for as guy who own correspond hydro counselor who's live for off from south side near miami. heidi one is the latest on the search and rescue operation. bullying. we expect an update from that on back from authorities very soon, but there was another body pulled from this wreckage yesterday. bring that whole up to 5. as you said, now the mayor of miami dade county says it's still very much a search and rescue mission. but we are going on close to 81 hours now, since this collab happened, and realistically, the 2 survivors who have been pulled from the rubble itself, while they were rescued in the early hours of this mission. and with each minute that $65.00 likelihood of finding more people alive within this 12 story building

that pancakes to the ground in the middle of the night. if people were sleeping well, the chances of finding more survivors is growing ever more when the good news from rescue workers is that indeed a fire that has hampered their efforts yesterday has been contained. there are more crews arriving an additional crew of search and rescue workers from israel. and there are more family members arriving here as well. because if you remember, miami, this community is so international in nature and the people who were staying inside this condominium building their citizens of so many countries, many from latin america. and so it's taking a while for some of their family members to travel here for that agonizing weight joining others, awaiting news of their loved ones. only. hi dave, any more details emerge as to why this tragedy occurred?

that is the biggest question and there are many theories, and there is some evidence the building that collapsed. it was reviewed by a structural engineer just 3 years ago who found there were major concerns here. there was major structural damage to the support system of this building and design errors. now the irony here is that there were repairs scheduled to happen to address those issues. but the building collapse before that could take place. bigger issue at this point is that this building had a sister building built around the same time by the same company. and the mayor says likely with the same materials. and there are people still living inside that building. there have been some calls or an evacuation that has yet to be officially ordered, but the people living there are given the option to find other places to live at the government expense. but certainly this is a huge concern here in this entire area or standing on

a barrier island that is partially ma'am, made sand that was brought in to build this island off and then multi story buildings built on top of that. with climate change, the rise and sea level, there's a much concern that the land beneath all of these buildings maybe shifting money. thanks for that heidi joke. how start with that update from south side near miami? thank you. nearly 300 refugees and migrants have been rescued in the atlantic ocean near spain's canary islands. 26 minus among them. one is in serious condition. in hospital they were traveling in 7 different boats. and so far this year, 5700 people have attempted the dangerous crossing from africa to the canary islands, more than twice as many as this time a year ago. thousands of phantom segers have been waiting on the mexico us border in increasingly unsanitary and precarious conditions. this month,

the bought in and ministration did away with a trump era program on which asylum seekers had to stay in mexico while their cases will process. and his money were upon a report from account into wanna many hope that rollback means they can now cross a migrant camp. if you want to mexico get some here or asylum seekers whose cases did not make it to court. under the trump administration's, my group protection protocols or m p p, a recent rollback of this policy by us president joe bite. it has allowed some asylum seekers to enter the us would only those with acted m p. p. case of the muslim son is in asylum. seeker from honduras was been waiting in mexico for the last 2 years. says she's hopeful of the changing policy law was the model. i like me because the last lawyer told me a judge had closed my case and that i had to open a new one. but then i spoke with a different lawyer who told me my case was not closed. and that i still have

a chance to enter the united states. what i want to do, my group protection protocol, also known as to remain in mexico program for sen, estimated 70000 people to wait for immigration hearings in cities on the mexican side of the border, we met abeline, also from honduras, says he's been the victim of violence and even kidnapping since arriving in c one or 2 years ago. but a reopening of his asylum case means he might soon have an opportunity to cross the border. legally. know if you wanna set it up. okay. maybe i have renewed hope because my lawyers see, have patience, wilma. i reopening in pay pay cases. i had almost given up, but thank god cases are being reopened. if rumors asylum cases exempted, he could soon joined the more than 11000 people with active m. p. p cases who have been allowed to enter the us since february. but there are many others were still waiting for guidance on what to do next. human rights groups estimate there to be

around $3000.00 people living at this migrant kid. now the ongoing coven, 1900 health emergency, means the border remains closed, disrupting the traditional u. s. asylum process. now this means that for thousands of migrants and asylum seekers have no choice, but to wait here on this side of the border. with more people arriving every day, migrants rights, advocates warned that conditions of the camp are no longer sustainable. they don't see them in their comp. i'm in the campus in a terrible situation. organized crime has infiltrated it. there's disease there. risk people have suffered violence there. and i believe it's a ticking time bomb despite the phasing out of trump era policies like n p p, the byte it administration has yet to normalize the u. s. as silent process. experts say that until the system becomes more streamline the crisis on this side of the border will only continue to worsen when winds wrap a little al jazeera, he want to mexico. support is

me on law journalist has become ever more dangerous since february's military code . 87 media workers have been arrested since the general seas power. some of the gaping to neighboring thailand. but as tony chang reports from the border, they don't feel safe, but either working from the shadows, part of a new life in itself. this journalist from mamma's hiding in thailand having fled the military regime at home. we can walk here, but like we stay in prison, we can go anywhere. it got all information. she had spent 9 years here. after seeing a previous military cracked, then she was able to get legal status. this time she had to cross the border, illegally. 10 years ago in thailand, no military government. now military government,

that is very different. earlier this month, 3 journalists from the democratic voice of burma for quickly sentenced and deported . after being arrested in the northern ty city of chang mind, without the swift intervention of a 3rd nation, they could have been returned to mamma potentially facing lengthy jail terms. but journalists inside mamma and now faced with little choice and this report a live stream to the rest. the soldiers fired into his house, $87.00 journalists have been arrested since the qu, many facing charges under a special section of the penal code for making claims that could damage public tranquillity. even those operating with legal status. a concerns of the generals and thailand could be getting too friendly with their counterparts in men mom. this really made many people fear of like an arrested arrest and also to the book that so that's why the people who right here and without any documents, they really have to live with low profile. the security has been increased on the

long and porous border, but it remains relatively easy to cross thailand has kept a tight control on its borders since the military coup and man, not only because it's concerned about a flood of refugees coming across, but also because of fears cove 19 could come with them, but the current of ours is unlikely to be the only reason these soldiers trying to sniff out dissident journalists have slipped across into thailand. tony cheng al jazeera, on the time in my border. ah, that's going to recap of your headlines here now to sarah thailand is timing restrictions in bangkok and other provinces to tackle it with outbreak of the vars . the new measures begin on monday. the 30 days construction science will be sha.
