iraq, we army were attacking ringer and now they're attacking everyone in the do you regret? well, it's like that we listen. absolutely. nigeria with a woman present, it would be great. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on sir. ah, this is al jazeera. ah, hi there, i'm kimbell. this is the new law from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes, the vine, and seems in the occupied westbank as anger grows. the death of a leading palestinian authority critic, thousands of migrant workers flee darker, ferrying job losses, bangladesh and other asian countries. tight and cove. 19 restrictions. office

surgeon cases. thousands are killed in yemen, mar, province. and one thing called the worst fighting of weeks between government for a true rescue crews find more bodies in the rubble of a building that collapse in the us, bringing the confirmed desktop tonight and in sport, the czech republic of just not the netherlands out of the euro's a to know when in budapest, sending the check through to the course of 5 ah, hundreds of protest is rallied in ramallah against the palestinian authority. they're angry at the death of prominent critic, news are bonnet was arrested by palestinian forces on thursday. his family say he was dragged away and severely beaten arrival valley in support of president ma,

hold a boss was also held stephanie jacket. deca joins us now live from ramallah safely . just tell us what exactly happened there today. was you mention, you had these 2 separate protests. i mean the one against the palestinian authority really wasn't that big around 100 people or so. and then you had the satire ready joined them and then chaos. since you'd really, people were being beaten. and the interesting thing was that there's a heavy security presence inside the scene. security forces with gardens and passions and tear gas when we arrive to the bureau earlier today, but they were nowhere to be seen. they allow this to happen, and particularly also a lot of songs in the crowd targeting particular media. also, we were surrounded by 6 of them all to see our camera. we weren't filming, at the time, we were forced to put the satellite down on our s n g other colleagues had their cameras smashed and broken. our camera man, mark was filming at some point, was warned 3 times in the last time the same guy came back to him and said,

i'm going to smash your camera for you to stop filming. so i think something certainly a very clear concert and campaign going on. let me bring in the fire you caught on his eye witness who was there as well. what are we, what are we seeing? what happened? what happened there? well, the key thing that happened was a mass protest was organized against the assassination of never been an earlier today. and hundreds of people were coming down. but the p a security forces in civilian clothing decided to attack us. and so they didn't let people mobilize and they began targeting media, as you mentioned, also organizers like myself and others. and essentially they began beating us. many people were forced to run into the different looks and were there were some women that were harassed as sexually by the p. a. it's extremely dangerous and painful happens all because they fear public mobilization against my modem and the p a who are continually collaborating with the occupation and

a pressing the palestinian people. let me, let me ask you, there's a, there's a low support for the p a at the moment. what are the issues? well, 1st of all, 84 percent of the palestinian people say impulse that the palestinian authority is corrupt. so that's the 1st issue. the 2nd issue is that the p a has become an authoritarian regime. they are arresting activists. they are beating people in the streets. and last but not least, the palestinian people want to struggle for freedom one to struggle for justice. the supplements are expanding and we see the p a and the p. a role has been assisting the occupations preventing the post in the struggle. and so put those 3 things together. collaborating with the occupation targeting activists and in the end, also assassinating, which is a new escalation activists. people do not want to government them anymore. it was interesting because one of the challenges that earlier today was they were quoting for freedom against the p a. where is usually this would be targeted israel. yes.

and i want to speak to the world and tell them from now one people should not see israel and the p a, a separate entity. the p as a body is a sub contractor for the occupation. they do israel dirt to work often times and so they're part of one system israeli apartheid system. and the p is authoritarianism or one. and that's why the people, when they check for freedom, they're chanting for freedom from the occupation, but also freedom from the occupations. collaborators move magic for the head of general intelligence and others. and just briefly, what we saw today disconcerted campaigned by you're saying plainclothes, security forces to really clamp down on. it wasn't even that big yet. have you seen this before? is this a new point that we have seen this consistently before? it's at a higher level right now, but this happened in 2011 when palestinians protested for unity. this happened in 2013 when palestinians protested against the sham of negotiations with vessels leading happens again in 2015 when palestinians protested against the gulf war. and

so it has been something that has been happening for years and years and years. and i need to mention the key point here, which is the american government and their opinion are funding the security forces that are talking, palestinian, and they should and all forms of collaboration with it. thank you very much. that was one of the calls also for, but not the activist that was killed. you wanted the european union to stop funding to the policy and security force in the policy and authority. because he said exactly this. they weren't quoting for elections corruptions and all these issues and certainly the ground very tense here at the moment. all right, thank you for that update. stephanie decker there in ramallah. frustration had been building 4 months before nissan of death sparked protests. in april, mahmoud abbas indefinitely delayed the 1st palestinian elections in 15 years. he blamed a voting disputes with israel. but critic say he was afraid of losing ground to

rivals, including home off accusations of corruption in the palestinian authority has grown louder during the pandemic than just focusing on a short lived vaccine. swamp arrangement with israel. the authority has repeatedly rejected allegations that it's corrupt and arrests people for their political views . a crime. our father is an associate professor of political science and also university garza. he joins us live by going from there. thank you for your time. i want to get your take on these protests that we've seen today. there were protests against mahmoud abbas protest and support of the party. he's the de facto leader roles. and then you would have heard their reports on verified at this stage, but of plain clothes p a security forces, attacking people who are out there. what is going on? what evening? let me start by showing that the bus has been an office for more than 16 years now

and to be honest with you, what we are seeing in b, which bank she is on. hebron is unprecedented. it hasn't never happened before to see these masses of products in this. those are this thing again is the product. and i think that again as president, hold our bus personally, asking for is a mobile is and so that, that, that this is not an app on behalf of the fee is to keep the services after his and in the hours a day addition to all the incident has but much revoke the palestinian people who have been who is as good again as the telephone or philip has been building up for months now. you just mentioned and you report the council listing of the elections in late april. and in addition to that,

corruption charges or allegations against but especially with regard to vaccinations, is also another reason why i'm going frustration among the palestinian people has been bouncing again as the telephone. and it seems to me that what the p a and the security system is trying to do to bake it in and to fight again as the fellow senior people. this is not going to work. we have seen scenes like that in the when the sprint, good luck did in egypt be how do you to square back in 2011? it didn't work this instead of resolving the issue by in a new government or i was doing that kind of go, i want to, i would let me, let me pick up on that you talking about change of government to change of

leadership. we don't have a lot of time, but just quickly, is there an avenue for a change of leadership? what could that look like? i think, but maybe the president can do right now is to to push this government for resignation or this government. the prime minister is also responsible for the ministry of interior who is responsible for all the ticket to services and that was fine. i think that there's, this governments are over there should be a new government that is dedicated to human rights to read them over supervision. and to guarantee civil rights of the telephone is which all dictated by the palestinian basic lo, i think else would not work. i don't think i'm trying to create a commit to investigate, but this will be politically active is resolved, but not will do the job. i major changes measure the forms

are due right now, otherwise the put this new for more days to go for i thank you very much for your time. my kind of out of there and associate professor of political science at the university garza. let's take you down to south africa, where president several rama pulse is addressing the nation as it baffles the 3rd wave of covert 90. secondly, because it is more contagious. it can infect far more people as with the previous very, and you can pass it or infect other people without even knowing that you have it. thirdly, there is now emerging scientific evidence that people are previously infected with a detailed barrier. that is our area of area and do not have full protection

against that data to vary and, and, and may get re infected. fourthly, because it is much more contagious than measures we have so far adopted to contain the spread of the virus may no longer be sufficient to produce transmission . there is also much we do not know about this day. and for example, it is not clear that it causes more severe symptoms. preliminary data from other countries suggest that it is not more severe. reports from some countries, including on our continent, also suggested that infections and clinical illness, children may be more common. where this doubts are very and even as the overall rate of infection remain substantially lower. and then under

the rapid spread of this very do 16 mysterious. this for this reason that i said i address your no way to measure tonight. even if it is not, most of the rate at which people are infected could lead to many more people becoming ill and requiring treatment at the same time. we therefore needed to take extra precautions. i thought today the 7 day average of new daily cases nationally has overtaken the peak of the 1st wave in july last year and were soon overtake the peak of the 2nd wave we experienced in january of this year. how did now accounts more than 60 percent of new cases in the country?

with the exceptions of the northern cape and the free state inspections are rising rapidly in all other provinces. we also must remain vigilant in the northern cape in the free state, which may experience a 2nd spike of cases. if the new variant spreads that as well. we must also be worried about what we are seeing and forward before our very eyes. every one of us has a friend or a family member or a colleague who has been infected that a few in our country who have not had to vary a family member or a friend or a loved one, who lost their lives to this disease. we are in the grid of a devastating wave that by all indications seems like it would be

worse than those that have preceded it. the peak of this 3rd wave looks set to be higher than the previous 2 waves. the 1st wave. if we recall last that 15 weeks, the 2nd wave lasted nearly 9 weeks. we don't know how long this one will last, but indications that it could last longer. and as we look around the world, many countries have these waves. they come and they go. i know that the last thing many of you went to here is this that we are now in the 3rd way. we have all had to endure great hardship over the

past year and a half. we may have thought that with lives slowly returning to normal. we could take a more casual approach to the public health regulations. perhaps we fed up with wearing a muster one public transport and decided to keep it off for one day. when we see nobody objects or complains, we stop wearing them. i go to social gatherings with a mask on but to take it off. once we are inside. when we meet our friends and loved ones, we hog we kissed and shake hands, believing ourselves, and them to be safe. we continued to accept invitation to social gatherings and parties and we host some of them. the difficult truth is that complacency comes at

a high price. we must maintain our god and continue to be careful at all times the trying to read chocolate manny. i'm not going to i saw his car to finance what he says, begging to number wait while i list for it's a corner to new. go for that. a saw south africa present sarah. i'm opposed to addressing the nation. it is, as he says in the grip of a devastating 3rd wave fit to be higher than the past 2. he says, he doesn't know how long the 3rd wave or last it could last longer than the previous 2. he said that the delta variant is extremely serious for the country. the rate of infection could mean many people get sick at the same time and

that there is some scientific evidence that the beta variance, which went through the country earlier, does not provide full immunity to the delta vary and collect spring in robin smith, who has been monitoring this from cape town. robin. just tell us a little bit more about what the president had to say and the measures that he is expected to announce. good evening kim. so right are you heard they the president base solomon president, addressing the nation tonight. he started by, according to the former president, from under his non will, to freedom comparing it to what we seeing with the congress on our show was not a lot of people aren't thinking to tighten the regulations. he was saying, just before you can to me that people should be, should get more to the left on regulation. we seen people holding social gatherings, throwing parties not leaving marks going on to withdrawn. going to family members.

and as he said, the hugging or kissing, and this is speeding off the rate of transmission on the branden speech tonight follows for emergency meetings that took place this weekend. and also a media briefing yesterday afternoon that the recall june online briefing, that is the minister address the media and saying that they, they could have found that the dominant variance of the president just spoke about . now, the doctor there were previously in south africa, what we saw when the beat of variance, and that was what was driving the 2nd, 2nd waving of africa, which we saw between december and january. so based on the fact that that government didn't expect a new variance on our show was they had been preparing for the b to variance. and the projection was that the 3rd way would not be as, as bad as the 2nd wave was. i spoke to the head of the wisdom of appointment just about 2 weeks ago,

and he was saying that that was trying to say and they said that the pain which is not driving and then the driving the 3rd way of contacting, i'm could, could feel the way but the current provinces, like the waste in cape and the eastern cape, which seemed to be that 2nd wave would probably be affected, but that is no longer the case. now that we are seeing the gulf and they were drawn sorry, on our shoes. and the reason they thought it would be a little miss bag was because they said that a lot of people were going antibodies. but what we seeing now is a huge arriving cases. i think it was over a 100000 new cases in 7 days, on average we averaging. coughing is averaging something like more than $10000.00 say the cases like i said, it's accounting for more than 60 percent of the countries active cases. and just to take off the current situation,

we had 18000 new cases recorded from friday to saturday. more than 11000 of those were in the fostering conference hearing reports on the way to into 4 to 4 hours to get patients into hospitals and then turned away or diverted hospital beds, running short on occidental shortages as well. some people are choosing to be or have no choice, but are choosing to be treated at home by doctors, great. all facing a lack of oxygen. so the situation is quite bad in the falling. what people are expecting from the burger and is to shut down or to stop the provincial federal to, to also help as well and what system issues in place to stop people from gallery. i thank you very much for that. robin smith there in town. thousands of people are scrambling to leave the banquet as she capital darker before tough,

new measures coming forth there from thursday. that follows the surgeon cases of the honey infectious delta variant. on friday, almost 66000 new cases were recorded more than 100 said penalty. the 2nd highest death toll since the pandemic began. tanveer charles re has more from docker. now on friday, the 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 on the trains are shut down so they're going by any means of transport. some people are actually walking because from day 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 guarding the rural villages. now, the quick question is why it took so long? the virus has been spreading since may 15th, that was record at the influx rate was growing high in the border and the

government still, there are the strict are shut down. banga that has 4000 kilometers 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 use are in full capacity. it's still not a crisis point, but it could very well reach that. let's take a closer look at the corona virus resurgence in bangladesh. a nation wide lockdown was imposed to several weeks in april as cases and death thawed. infections fell in may and the country gradually reopened. the cases have now risen again to approach peak levels with just over 6000 daily cases. however, experts, a warning the actual figure could be much higher on be around 3 percent of the population being vaccinated. the government is ordering people to stay home except for essential workers. dr. much talk hussain is an adviser of the institute of

epidemiology, disease, control, and research indica. he says a switch lockdown should stem the growing tired of infections within weeks. the vital is going to rise again where it does go away deep. and then in this day the incremental increase of the infection and also the number of bits increasing shows the number up into the number of infection. that was it, that people have been asked to be prepared for that like shutting down all the all the big goals so that the transmission would be, come down and the picture would be we're down and we hope back when we take and all things will be about 2 weeks that we may see a decline of the cases after the declining the number of debt is expected.

as you have seen in the 2nd grade, a particular means shut down. the number of in fiction game, dog and number of thailand is also timing restrictions in bangkok and other provinces. then you measures beginning on monday will last for a month. construction sites will be closed down and indoor dining and gatherings of more than 20 people will be banned. health officials by the increase in infections on a lack of compliance among migrant workers. moscow smith says about 2000 people are being taken to hospital with covered every day. the washing capitals just seen its highest 24 hour deaf tone. 144 st. petersburg set the previous highest figure. only a day earlier. it's due to host a major football game on friday in front of phones. offense. the you k is new house take a tree, says bringing an end to the corona virus pandemic is his most immediate priority such as java. if the former chief financial minister replaces met hancock whose

resignation was forced by scandal, the shake up puts more pressure on a government that's been heavily criticized for early handing of the pandemic and is now dealing with higher infections. we are still in a panoramic and i want to see that come to an end as soon as possible, and that will be my most immediate priority to see that we can return to normal. i soon and as quickly as possible. i've got a lot of work to do. i'm sure you appreciate that. and if you can, excuse me, i'd like to get on with it. fighting between yemen, government forces and to the rebels has left thousands of people bid in the strategic region of mark. the area is the government's last northern stronghold and important for peace negotiations. charlotte bellis reports. the dusk and marrow only illuminates the offensive on germany government forces. darkness has done nothing to stop their recent offences. after almost 7 years of war,
