6:02 pm
access to the jobs. the african union says it urgently needs vaccines. it has accused europe of not keeping its promise to donate the shots. the continent has the lowest inoculation rate in the world. and fairs it's being left behind. cases are also going up in indonesia and bangladesh where new restrictions have been imposed in europe after 10 weeks of declined. cases going up once again. and the surge is being linked to the delta variant, which was 1st identified in india. and that's raising concerns about a new e. u digital koby. 19 travel passport that's just been launched. it's meant to make it easy to travel between members. fates, natasha butler begins our coverage with this report. at paris is the only airport airline staff can travelers, documents, european union citizens, miss. now shown you cove it certificate to travel on paper or in digital form. it shows if a person is vaccinated or has a recent negative p. c,
6:03 pm
r test member states can adjust the entry rules according to the health situation in the country. but the cobra certificate will be standardized throughout the block . but you could be me, it's more paperwork, but we've been vaccinated. we have a p c r test. it's all good. i think it's a necessary measure coveted over yet, and we must avoid at all costs the risk of people of any age getting sick and we go be you want to make it easier for people to cross. it's borders after more than a year of covey restrictions. paris is usually one of the world most visited cities, bought the pandemic as men 13 you were tourists. the home for the coven certificate will encourage people to travel again, and i hope i can make recovery from like most european countries has lifted many restrictions to infuse of ended. and people no longer need to wear mosques outdoors . but the french government says there's a growing concern over the spread to the highly contagious delta variant regarding the adopted delta variant is progressing. it is even progressing very quickly. it
6:04 pm
represented about 10 percent of contamination last week, but he's doubled in less than a week and some medical experts say the delta various could account for 90 percent of cases in europe by august. portuguese officials recently impose the we can lockdown in lisbon after a spike in cases you officially say, countries must the act of the health situation in their country, deteriorate them, it is not over yet. this has been made very clear by di and mergence of new volumes of the virus. this is why we are proposing an emergency break, which allows members stairs to reintroduce measures. it's a fine balance for the e. u, as it works to minimize health risks while trying to reinvigorate economies and allow people from freedom. but often more than a year of living with the unpredictability of the pandemic. the key, the european officials,
6:05 pm
is that people remain vigilant. and natasha joins us now live from paris. oh, natasha. the coven certificate is going to make it easier to travel in the european union, but a dire warning. today from the w. h o to europe about this down to very and yes, the w h ho issuing this warning saying that the delta variant is fueling a rise in a new coveted infections across the european union. now this is after several weeks when most countries have seen infection rates for it is a real concern, but it does also reflect the reality that most governments in europe are seeing on the ground. we all here in france, for example, seeing the delta variance fuel these infections. we heard from the french health minister just today saying that last week the delta variance accounted for just 10 percent of new cases. this week that number is doubled. it's
6:06 pm
a similar picture in germany, in spain, in portugal, we know in lisp and the portuguese capital they've got to impose those. we can look down there because they are seeing spikes in the virus because of the variance. it is a huge concern also because medical experts, a warning that this could go on and we could see the delta variance accounting about 90 percent of cases in the european union by august medical experts in various countries including here in france are saying we could be think 3rd, 4th waves as we go into september and october, unless something is done and what can be done? well, of course, governments saying we need to vaccinate our populations more in front. they have seen vaccination rates slow in recent weeks. some people simply don't want to be vaccinated, others perhaps have their mind on the sub holidays and summer break and they're not going to get vaccinated. so the government really trying to urge people to get out and get vaccinated. they see that as the solution. we've also heard from the
6:07 pm
european medical agency who's been talking about vaccines in europe. they are saying that the for faxing that are actually allowed to use in the european union approved for use that is a, find them at the asters and can johnson johnson. they say that 2 doses of any of those vaccines should protect against the bill to very they say that's what research shows. government, no doubt across the blog will be using that to try and urge people to be vaccinated . but many restrictions have been lifted here in falls included, people do feel that life is nearly returned to normal. so it's very good. it's going to be very challenging indeed for governments across the european union to try one hand balance that's giving people freedom, letting them go out to restaurants and paris is mingle. but of course in the shadow of these various. natasha. thank you very much for that. natasha butler live for us there in paris, or let's get more now on the vaccine shortage on the african continent. i'm a dangerous is joining us from abu drive in nigeria. many countries in africa don't
6:08 pm
have enough facts seem to have run out. and we've heard some very strong words today from the african unions covey envoy, exactly fully. so far, africa received only $65000000.00 of vaccines for $1300000000.00 people on the continent, less than $50000000.00 of those, those as well actually from the vaccine elias complex. so the question now is, how can these countries get enough to, you know, actually the population, in fact, africa is talking about 1600000000 doses of coffee, 19 vectors in order to inoculate 60 percent of its population, which if feels will be safe enough to try to tackle the copy 1900 pandemic year in africa. now the expectation was that the graph had 800000000 doses of the vectors by december last year. and by 6 months after, know those of coffee,
6:09 pm
900 bucks has came from the international allies or international effort to help low medium income countries to deal with the panoramic. so the african union envoy was really, really angry. and apart from that, he's also talking about how europe met. it's so difficult for african countries to sort of buy these vaccines to from their manufacturers in europe. whenever they, he said, whenever africa tried to approach manufacturers in europe, there were referred to india where india was also battling with an upsurge or uptake in covered 19 infractions from that country. at some point, india had to stop export of access to try to address the crisis in that country. and now the questions about whether or not europe in countries will accept the efficacy of the vaccines the same asteroids. any corrections produced and accepted in europe. whether or not, what's the europe or european countries will not have the efficacy of these sections would have been manufactured in india. and these are the most faxes that
6:10 pm
have been sent to africa for inoculation. so it's a crisis here, right now we're seeing infection rates going. i'm going to ask you about 5500000 infractions across the continent. yeah, i was going to ask you about the situation right now. we how bad is it right now? well actually they have and i'm with 5.5 mit any instructions across the continent . but a lot of people, many africans, and even health experts believe that the number is far, far, much higher than what the governments of those countries have been reporting. the amount of testing being conducted in africa is actually very, very low. and of course we've seen in the past week how death rates have risen by around 23 percent, which is warning for many african countries. why really, really struggling economically. and now the impact of coffee 19 have destroyed a lot of economies on the continent or made. thank you very much for that. i did
6:11 pm
receive my correspondent, tina butcher. nigeria and concerns are growing in the australian fate of new south wales, about a significant rise in cove. in 1900 cases. its largest city sydney is in the middle of a 2 week locked down to carry the spread of the delta vary and state officials say many people with flu like symptoms are ignoring locked on orders, raising the possibility of new outbreaks. dr. rob grunfeld is a director of health and bio security of the commonwealth, scientific, and industrial research organization in australia. he says the government needs to step up with fascination to push a vaccination push rather to keep the situation from getting worse. we've been in a fascinating position here in australia by actually having an elimination strategy . so we've, we've enjoyed the last died a month or so with very few cases with sadly had just under a 1000 deaths where the disease has gone out of control in a couple of our cities in particularly melvin at one stage. and now we have the
6:12 pm
delta variance as popping up around a strider with, obviously great concern that it might be starting to get a hold in the country we, we've obviously been playing by a number of challenges with our national immunization strategy. so, thinking about in the 1st instance, supply has been a problem, we think fortunate to have the capacity to mike astrazeneca here in australia, about the 5. the supply of course, is coming from the global supply, which every countries having trouble getting enough of the vaccine. the 2nd problem we've had is actually developing a national immunization workforce and also capacity, because it's something that we didn't have proud of this pandemic, and something that's been rapidly developed over the last number of months. and the 3rd one is because we haven't had much disease here, there's been a lot of complacency or lack of urgency from leadership all the way down to the general public. so people haven't been seeking vaccination, nor even understanding the urgency of actually getting this. so where we are
6:13 pm
sitting now at the moment, about 30 percent of the strains have had at least one dose to the vac thing, but only about 5 percent of actually had 2 doses has lost morehead on the news hour, including afghan negotiators. say the government isn't at risk of collapsing, violence intensifies, and the taliban make more territorial gains. why indigenous people are calling for the cancellation of canada day. and in 4th, one of the best football players in the world is now available for free details coming up with peter lee. ah, the chief financial officer of former us president donald trump's company has surrendered to authorities investigating tax crimes in new york, holland y soleberg and other trump employees are expected to face charges of tax evasion. they're suspected of illegally avoiding paying taxes on company products
6:14 pm
such as cars, apartments and school tuition. kristin salome is live for us now from new york, so the cfo of the trump organization turning in the cell phone and were waiting christian for the details of the charges that will be filed against the organization. what do we expect the nature of a challenges to be what we know from the statement released by the trouble organization that the charges relate to the financial benefits that were played to employees. alan wife oberg is a long time chief financial officer of the trump organization. he's been there nearly 50 years, starting under president trump father fred, at the company. we know that his son has particularly been under scrutiny. he also works for the trump organization. and his ex wife has been talking to reg, to investigators about their relationship and sharing information with them. we
6:15 pm
also know that president trump himself and his company's finances have been under scrutiny by state and local prosecutors for more than 2 years now. until earlier this year for investigators to gain access to the former president's tax return. so all of that behind what has led to these charges, the precise nature of which we will know. 7 in about 3 hours time when wife bird must appear before a judge and be arraigned on charges. why so burg? christine has been very loyal from supporter. what will this mean for the former president himself? will he be implicated? well we know from the statements being made by wild birds lawyer and the trump
6:16 pm
organization that they believe that the iris would not have charged or another district attorney would not have brought charges like this, against another business person or another company. that's the allegation being made by the time organization. they say this is all just a part of an attempt to get at the president himself. the fact that why so burns attorney is saying that he is going to plead not guilty, suggested he is not cooperating with investigators who may be hoping to get more information on the president and his finances to try to bring charges against him. the president, of course, is denied any criminal activity saying that the investigation is political to which hands and so on. but authorities are saying the prosecutor here are saying that this is an ongoing investigation. so what impact this will have on the president remains to be seen. whether or not the charges will stop with his chief financial officer or lead to something greater. is still something that will have to wait and
6:17 pm
say christian, thank you very much for that christian salumi live day in new york. us president joe biden is in miami to visit the site of last week's building collapse. his meeting, local officials leading recovery efforts, operations have been put on hold in surfside for the past few hours because of fears about of structures, ability. 145 people remain and accounted for at least 18 people are not confirmed dead. john hendrick joins us now. live from service side in florida. so present by john has arrived. what exactly is he going to be doing? will he actually be visiting the site or of the tragedy? the while the moment he's talking to the 1st responders, there's 900 people who been protecting the area, searching through the rubble itself. and the 1st thing he did when he arrived here was to get a briefing on what exactly was going on. that was from governor ron de santis and also from the mayor here, danielle levine cover. and what he learned was that the work on that building
6:18 pm
behind me has stopped. it stopped overnight because they saw evidence of some of the building settling. and as a result of that, they were worried, the whole thing was going to fall down. and i think that's probably why we don't know whether joe biden is going to be able to go to the rebel seen or not. they've stopped for the safety of the workers and of course that would apply to the president as well. so whether or not he does that or whether he does an aerial tour, we have yet to find out. but we do know that after this, after he thinks the 900 workers here, he is also going to go to the saint regis hotel and speak to the families of many of these people who remain missing. there are a 145 people still unaccounted for. and of course there are the families of those 18 who have been declared dead the most recent 2 were on wednesday. those are 2 children ages 4 and 10 both sisters and their parents had been found earlier in the
6:19 pm
rebel. so the president has a lot to do here, but what he's been doing mainly is talking about the amount of money in the amount of contribution the federal government can give and the news isn't getting any better, john, on the search and rescue operation. we're now what a week since it's devastating accident has it now turned more into a search and recovery rather than a search and rescue operation. well in a white house briefing this morning, that question was brought up and the response was that no, this is still a search and rescue operation. and that's what the answer we've been getting in each of these briefings. but realistically, they haven't pulled a live person out of the rubble since last thursday. it is now day 8. so the chances of finding survivors just go slimmer and slimmer and after all there have there's been rain and there's been fire. and right now there is tropical storm elsa
6:20 pm
spinning off the atlantic coast of florida and threatening to hit the coast. and if that happens, that could cause a couple of different problems. for one thing, it would stop the work, assuming that it has resumed on that building, also could draw disaster workers elsewhere to have to deal with that storm. so they really want to work as quickly as they can. but as you mentioned it time is really dwindling. there's only so many days that people can survive in rubble like that, but the workers haven't given up hope and they insist this is still a rescue mission. john, thank you very much for that. john hendrick live for as their side, florida. oh, china's governing communist party has been celebrating the 100th anniversary of its founding, addressing crowns in tenant men square in beijing, phrase and cheating team held what he call china's irreversible course away from
6:21 pm
colonial humiliation. while she praised the party for raising incomes and restoring national pride, he failed to mention its historic failures. katrina, you have very force from beijing. in the early hours of closing, mooney, $70000.00 people gathered in beating in the square to mark the $100.00 anniversary of chinese communist party. youth choir sang revolutionary ballads, while fighter jets and helicopters flew overhead. it was a well choreographed display of nationalism and power performed with precision president. she didn't ping addressed the crowds, saying the party had transformed china from a backward country into a strong water one. the fishing that we have brought about historic revolution to the problem of absolute poverty in china. and we are now marching in confidence,
6:22 pm
tries to as a 2nd. and henry go a building china into a great modern social country. in all respects, my dressed includes reminiscent of party, found a mounted don't. she said the party had kept its promise of lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty and would continue to achieve success to the chinese people . it is aimed at winning, not just respect for the coffee aberration for the body, but also an emotional connection between the, you know, she and the people they want to engender that, you know, we are the ones who saved you from our depredations of alike. so that it works on a number of level and of course it to show forth show food for friends and adversaries abroad. president. she had this warning for those wanting to undermine the parties rule. to me, the chinese people will never allow any foreign forces to oppress slavery for anyone who dare to do that will be on the collision course against the great wall.
6:23 pm
still a full by over 1400000000 chinese people deleted also praised the party in order to comb. something achieved to cracking down on the territories democracy movement vowed to reunite taiwan with china. beijing considers the sell food island, a renegade chinese province, full time pay responded by saying its determination to defend its sovereignty and democracy was unchanged. not mentioned during the celebrations, were the historic favorites of the party, the violence and destruction of the cultural revolution. the $900.00 sixties and seventies. what a brutal crackdown of the $989.00 gentlemen square protests. it's incarceration of an estimated 1000000 ethnic muslim week is the so called we education camps has also been condemned by governance rights groups abroad. but they're not openly talked about, it's very not to research them. so the party wants to highlight not the law lives inside of the crate and coming to outside. it's
6:24 pm
a different story. this elevation comes at a time when international criticism is aging, with policies and abroad, and all pages response to that criticism on thursday with loud and clear, it's simply isn't listening. katrina you out a 0 meeting. earlier we spoke to failing one who's a professor of international affairs at georgia tech university. he says the chinese communist party has tightened its rule. me growing pressure against it does says he peer has gone through a few mutations over the past 100 years, from the agents of a soviet union to a passenger re rebellion and to a ruling partying authoritarian way. and then doing miles, i don't. it was kind of in a revolutionary zeal for world revolution. and after mom in retreated and reinvented itself to become authoritarian, a party,
6:25 pm
but sort of populist in some ways. but after junk mean iraq and haunting her era, more a problems having accumulating lots of pressure has been building. so i think this is hubie leadership has decided to bet on strengthening authority. hearing side of the b team to sort of a double down on the people democratic dictatorship and brought down on a strong leader like him out there. don't to safeguard the interest party leadership. and this kind of a typing up of control, a kind of double done with dictatorship, may or may not work, but it's the price is already clear. that is, the chinese society is suffering quite a bit in terms of its diversity. being curved is freedom of speech has been limited and it's a creative pass. the is now fun to mentally eroded. so this all to not such as
6:26 pm
well for the future of a chinese nation. but for the party leadership, this is a kind of bet they have already made. still ahead on al jazeera, more on a move that fed to protest, st. turkey calling for women's protection. we'll have a live records from the sample stranded. i'd see we hear from some of the hundreds of thousands of the fairies who've been abandoned ships because of the damage. and manchester united, they're about to sign a teenager for around a $100000000.00. stories coming up next in port with a okay, hot and dry. he used to the standard forecast in the middle east, but he's particularly held and he got there very early. just pick a city that you know and look at it's q 853 for example. to around $37.00. well
