continues to downplay the dangers of the virus. he's also under investigation for possible corruption linked to a contract to buy indian made vaccines. more than half a 1000000 people have died from the virus in brazil. morning k, and cave has more from re edition ero. well, this is the 3rd protest in 5 weeks. we've had one in may. we've had one in june, and this one was supposed to happen later, but se anticipated it because people here are years of growing discontent. people were just angry because of you hear them now. they're asking for impeachment by people who are angry because there was a delay in buying the vaccine because he played the bars with a new element. now in what's going on now, is this investigation which the senate is, is investigating the handling of

a plan that make and has now uncovered some corruption that allegedly, some government officials were taking bribes to buy vaccines are wanting to over pay back. so this is something that is very damaging for both of them because he was like just saying that he was an honest contrary to his predecessor that was in fee. and her predecessor, he's about to move, the silver was in prison on corruption charges. so now there's this question, so that's why people are getting angry or an angry or in the us. president joe biden is spending part of the july 4th holiday weekend, encouraging people to get vaccinated. he's arrives in michigan to mock the country's progress against over 19 a spot of

a nationwide so called america's back together. tor. more than half the u. s. population has been vaccinated, but the government will not meet its goal of inoculating 70 percent by july. 4th, speak to, she returns the in washington, d. c. she have the white house looking to use the 4th of july celebration to mock the u. s. s. for grace in the fight against covey, but it's still racing. is need to get more people vaccinated. yeah, i think the white has explicitly connecting 4th of july independence celebrations with quote independence from the virus. and that telling of the some criticism there's some debate because clearly although the u. s. has come a very long way with the, the new variance, the new delta vary and, and the slow slowing rates of acceleration that i was saying in the u. s. there is some concern that this might send the wrong message by insult the white house on sunday will be holding the largest in person gathering at the white house. and he

was inaugurated a 1000 members of the military and 1st responders having a big barbecue. and there are some who are, well, wait a 2nd, i mean, lots of puts your to households, particularly in the south east, the midwest where people are vaccinated and they don't need to be much size they will get vaccinated. does this itself be a vector of transmission? with the new incredibly, incredibly potent delta variance spreading, now unexpected to be the main, the main main type of the main, the main viral type in the coming in the coming weeks. having said that, the u. s. has come a long way. i mean, we look at, i mean, isn't my pages, statistics, say, but here's a few. we have about 300 deaths a day. we compare about 2 to march of 2020. that's why there's been a similar rates. it's gone back down to be a pre the big surgeon in depth, and in the u. s. 12000 cases, the day it was 200000 cases. when joe biden was inaugurated bunch,

you're talking about that gold bite and set himself of 70 percent off adults. with at least one dose, a vaccine by the 4th of july, he's looking to miss by much, but maybe about 3 percent should be 67 percent we expect by july 4th, but only 46 percent of americans adults are fully vaccinated and that rate is slowing deaths all creeping up with the covered with the delta vary now spreading, and there's a particular that young people, 13th $1839.00, only a 3rd of 18 to 39 year olds of vaccinated. so there's still questions as to how far you can go to celebrate how far the u. s. has come without then encouraging people to get too complacent. thank you for that. she returns the live in washington. while response teams are being deployed across the u. s. 2 areas at risk of a highly contagious form of covey. 19 the delta variant has been detected in all 50

states that says americans heading to a holiday weekend with fewer restrictions. kristin salome report from new york the ground, whether it's to see bruce springsteen on broadway, or the new york mets at city field. americans are getting back out just in time to celebrate the national 4th of july holiday weekend, some traveling for the 1st time since the pandemic. it's really exciting. that's also a little concerning at the same time, just because there's so much we don't know. the united states is reopening despite falling short of president jo biden's, goal vaccinating 70 percent of americans, even as the delta variance spreads to all 50 states. i am concerned that people who have not gotten vaccinated have the capacity to catch the variance and spread the variance to other people who have not been vaccinated. i'm not concerned there's going to be a major outbreak. in other words,

that we're going to have another epidemic nationwide, but an concerned lives will be lost. new york and california have lifted virtually all of their cobra restrictions on businesses and social gathering. these 2 states hit hardest and earliest by the pandemic were also among those that suffered the most economically. businesses are trying to balance safety with meaning open and profitable. it does feel like the old times square here. yeah. and on the weekend, you really see just over 50 percent of storefront open for business in new york times square. but people are coming back. i pedestrian can't now are rising. in fact, we see an average of 200000 sessions coming through our pauses in our neighborhood every day, which is 60 percent increase compared to what we saw during the pandemic. some businesses and events still require masks or proven vaccination. someone like

myself, my friend over here, we can't go to the show because we haven't done the vaccination with a significant segment of the population resistant to the vaccine. however, some say you can't be careful enough. i don't know what is going to look right, but it sounds good. i just don't want to take any chances. i want to leave a little longer. still many will find reason to celebrate this independence day in a country, not yet free of the corona virus. christine salumi al jazeera new york. early i spoke to dr. waffa al serra, who is a professor of a p demolish she had, and medicine at columbia university. she says the u. s. is showing, says success and failures when it comes to coven, 1900 vaccination rollouts. i think it's appropriate to think of the united states as, as, as almost like a region with multiple countries. there are such disparities in terms of the progress in confronting this and then from state to state,

from community to community, which makes it very hard to make a generalizable recommendation for the country. overall. there are states where the vaccination rates have been quite extra ordinary one at the same time. the others were, the vaccination has been limited and we do know that the vaccination is really our main defense against this virus at this point in time. so i personally think that it behooves us to think very carefully about where one is living, where one is situated and look around one south and think about what is the vaccination uptake? there's absolutely no reason for concern enormous concern about the delta varying particularly again in communities in countries where vaccination rates mean quite low, we do have encouraging information. many of the vaccines that are available now appears to be also protective against the variance. as to this again is further motivation

should be further motivation to do whatever is needed to enhance vaccination access . as want to encourage people who have access to the scenes to see getting vaccinated as soon as possible. russia's presence vitamin protein is refusing to impose a national lockdown despite the country's cove. in 1900 death toll reaching a new high 697 corona virus related deaths were reported on saturday the most in a single day since then. it began and is the 5th day in a row that the country has set that records. indonesia, meanwhile, has imposed more restrictions in its capital ger contact the main island of java, and the tories have of body after record number of infections and deaths. mosques, restaurants and shopping malls are closed and the health care system is struggling to cope. jessica washington reports from jakarta. in the indonesian capital these carpenters work from morning to midnight. busier than ever in this workshop
