in europe, in region. we've half a 1000000 cases week like this thing has gone away. so i summers of the sense that everyone thinks it's all over and we're just getting on. and to an extent, i understand the sentiment, understand why people want to feel that way. but for a lot of the world, unfortunately this thing is only getting started. we just need to be a little more patient. remember last summer where we had everything got good and then everyone kind of relaxed. and then we kind of arrived in september or october and ended up in huge trouble. but i think that's where we're going again, with a much more transmissible, very at this time, around after months of criticism, the covey 19 vaccines one reaching, developing nations inoculation efforts of picking up and a shell about us reports. the focus is on staying ahead of new variance vaccine drives, the gathering pace and countries around the world. this is 1500000 doses of them

the last week showed a slight decrease in the incidence of covered in moscow. but nevertheless, the level of hospitalization and morbidity itself. is at a very high level, but how will the delta or other mutations behave? it's a question health authorities are asking around the world. israel's health ministry really started that the 5 by and take the vaccine is just 64 percent effective against infections by the delta variance. it had been 94 percent effective against previous strains of the virus. although they reported it is still more than 90 percent effective, keeping people out of a hospital. there's no doubt that there is a level of escape with the does have a and that means that the, there is a level of reduction in protective immunity with this particular band, even with vaccines. the good news is that with 2 doors, the vaccine there is still a very high level of protection for individual against severe diseases like hospitalized ations and deaths. the dose ovarian,

his accelerating the spirit of outbreaks, and places that had previously escaped the pandemic. fiji went an entire year without recording any community corona virus, cases until the new strain arrived in april. on tuesday it reported a record 636 cases and 6 deaths. it does hurt you in some way, and it does also let you know that, you know, we're not, we're far from over the i see you at the main hospital in the capital sousa is full . so as the cities morgue, 10 percent of the genes are fully vaccinated. officials are hoping to increase that number to stop the spread charlotte bellis out to 0. luxembourg, 5 minister is in a serious but stable condition in hospital wages being treated for cove. with 19 javier battelle tested positive surely after a 2 day e. u. summit in brussels at the end of june, he was between his 2 vaccine doses. dr. essays recovering that of decided to keep

a daily struggle for every lebanese. we're outside one of the gas stations here, and you see the long lines, people wait for hours just to fill up one 3rd of their fuel time. there is a fuel crisis just as there is a lack of medicine after people fill up their cars with gas, they go to pharmacy to start looking for medicines, which more often than not, they do not find. and then there's a hyper inflation, the price of food. it has more than tripled in recent months. yet the minimum wage remains the same. and the majority of 11 people turn in the local currency, which is now worth less than $50.00. and the reason is if i am going to destroy god without throwing up, we have money, we're going to buy anything. we have money, really. we have money about going to buy anything. that's not there goes on there

are those people who fill earnest salary, but unemployment is on the rise. it's now 35 percent and research institute say it is going to increase to 40 percent of the. this is a country which is starving for dollars for hard currency. the central bank mandatory reserve is drying out and the central bank was giving importers dollars in order to buy fuel medicine as an affordable price to subsidize these goods. and like i mentioned it's running out fuel prices have increased by by 50, by 50 percent. so has the price of bread. so people are struggling and you just heard. a that man, there are those who have money, who are able to buy something, just can't because they cannot find it in the country which import to almost everything that it needs. carter is one of the gulf countries that are offered to help incentives, foreign minister to be roots. from all talks. $100.00 been under

in the northeast. the government in kabul is valve. the areas recently seized by the taliban will soon be re taken in accounts are offensive. under chappelle the 4th one on the ground taliban fighters have been taking one district after another . they now control of ghana stands northern border which had she could stand. the african government says a counter offensive is on the way and will include soldiers who fled from the border this week. the way mother may have one is on even the african people expected that after the withdrawal of american forces and other countries, there would be no excuse for the tele bond to continue the war. and they should cease and resolve their problem through negotiations and peace. but unfortunately, you see that instead they started an undeclared war and intensified it in the skies . the african air force is hitting back carrying out air strikes on taliban gatherings, and may not have the latest equipment, but the african air force is trained and capable. its attack, helicopters and planes are equipped with laser guided bombs. you know,

if we compared our self with the american, it's a big difference. the new afghan commander bathroom air base knows they may not have as much firepower, but he says they're ready for what? everybody knows. we are living in a country for the kid for continuing. so in this case, in some sometime we go for some sometime week, we fit back. this is war in combat, everything is possible. and nothing in this table. for the internationally back to government to retake northern areas and keep its capital secure, it must hold on to borrow. the americans left the base last week, but there's a prison at the site holding 5000 and taliban fighters, raphael, or private in the afghan national army believes an attack is coming to freedom. what model has it is now and we haven't come yet to sleep? everybody here is prepared to secure bed. graham, a morale is high bomb. but morale may not be high for long with the taliban.

intensifying its attack. it's really the taliban having leverage, have to be upper hand. and i think there's a snowball effect. once you start seeing that various provinces throughout the country can become very hard to reverse, particularly with now let's not forget without robust u. s. military backing and support, you know, send the interest of the united states in the interests of countries in the region to ensure that the afghan government does not collapse. but we're heading to a pretty dark place at the moment. the pentagon says the us withdrawal should be finished in august. a lot can happen on the battlefield between now and then enter chappelle al jazeera fill ahead of al jazeera. well, this troll parents gather at this school where about a 150 students were abducted and nigeria, the latest mass, kidnapping, supporters of south africa, the former president jacob's duma rally behind him as he fights against the prison

prison before contempt of court. and the constitutional court is the highest court in the land, and it can't be appealed. and so it would be quite extraordinary if jacob's dumas legal team was successful at the high court, given that it doesn't necessarily have the fall was to challenge or send an order by the constitutional court. but jacobs do my is relying on being successful in court today to prevent that race from taking place. he was supposed to have handed himself over to police by sunday. there was 5 days after the court judgment, and if not, he would then face the rest, which is the reality at the moment. and, and what's happening in court is an attempt to stop that. but why this is also important is because a sort of the outside is residents. in northern could do natal, hundreds of supporters came out to defend the former president. they say from

a plane crash in russia's far east. the turbo prop lost contact with our traffic control and failed to land as scheduled. on the come chart, kapinsky lar, a in $26.00 plains manufactured until $986.00 have been involved in several accidents in recent years since monahan has more, wreckage is being recovered far and wide. as russian aviation officials tried to piece together what happened, some debris from the crash was found on the mountain side in the far eastern region of cum shatka. more pieces were fish out of the sea. other parts of the plane were found about 5 kilometers in the airport runway in the town of pallana. but it just like a throw today, a plane following the read from petro pub last come chat sky to plan across the tragedy said to have occurred during the landing was presumably the plane was making a 2nd approach. and visibility was poor. air traffic control. last contact is the plane near its destination. heavy fog may have caused the plane to go off course. a

criminal investigation is underway. but the planes owner says everything was technically sound before take off. local officials have partially back this up, confirming no problems were detected if the russian made and not aircraft before it departed. it, you did it to her because it was in the aircraft was made in 1982. it has a valid certificate of air worthiness. the crew, past a pre flight inspection. currently search and rescue activities are underway. all 28 people on board are believe dad, but so far, no bodies have been recovered. a local leader and 2 children were among the passengers. the rugged terrain around pallana is making search a slow and arduous process. the area where the record was found is difficult to access. especially as night falls, benton mountain al jazeera of fire, the plastics factory and thailand that killed at least one fire fighter. an injured more than 30 has re ignited the cause of the blast had started. that started,

the fire is still unknown. the public has been warned to stay out of a 10 kilometers zone around the facility. on the outskirts of bangkok, tony chang reports from bangkok. the fire which the fire service had said was unconnect was under control and almost extinguished much earlier this morning. and for am local time it suddenly flared up again. we were seeing huge clouds of black smoke again with the chemicals in this plastic factory. catching fun to firemen were injured, took them by surprise, have been evacuated to local hospitals. 200 people who had been coming back to their residences because they filled the area with safe, quickly moved out again. it appears in the last couple of minutes that the service has. once again, got the file under control and the, the black smoke they were saying has now subsided again. but it is raining very

heavily at the moment that say the point is, is actually more of a problem. this is a chemical fine. and the water from that ring could couldn't make it ignite further . but the real problem is here that there was so much of the chemicals used to make this plastic packing in this factory more than one of the towns that they don't know how much is the off, how much still remains. and i think it's straight to the danger and the extent of the father. we've seen that it's able dream plan again so quickly. so people i think, are going to be very wary of returning to their homes tonight. more than a year and a half into the pandemic companies are feeling more confident about bringing employees back into offices. but in the us, some who refused to get vaccinated. risk losing their jobs. gabriel, that is under reports from new york in new york city, with cove it well under control, and more than 50 percent of the population fully vaccinated. workers are slowly

beginning to return to the office. but with study showing as many as 25 percent of americans saying they have no plans to get the jap can employers demanded. the short answer is yes, employers have a lot of freedom. employers in the us can demand records of vaccination of proof, of vaccination. they can of course, ask employees if they've been vaccinated. employers can even go one step further and in require vaccination of their employees. the hospital in houston did just that a vac seen mandate for employees. over a $150.00 health care workers are refused, were fired or resigned. each client has been practicing labor and employment law for over 30 years. she tells me there are only 3 groups of people that cannot be fired from their job for refusing the vaccine. someone with a disability, for example, somebody who is immunocompromised may not be able to get back to native, or if they get vaccinated, it,

they may not have the anti bodies that are necessary to keep them likely to be covered free, let's say somebody on chemotherapy. so that might be somebody who can't be ex, native, or vaccinated, but still needs precautions. they might be out of the workplace. the others protected from firing for not getting vaccinated or pregnant women. and anybody who's religious belief prevents vaccines for now, u. s. companies are still treading carefully. delta airlines is requiring new hires get vaccinated, but not explicitly demanding it up current employees. mcdonalds is offering 4 hours of paid time off for employees to get the jad while new hires at amazon are given a $100.00 bonus on their 1st day. after showing proof of explanation. complicating matters further that delta variant, the highly infectious strain, now accounts for a quarter of all new cobra cases in the us and has seen some countries holt or even reversed their reopening plants. there is no one size fits all approach. of course

labor laws differ. country by country, but with the majority of us companies planning to call back employee to the office in the coming weeks. the u. s. could be a test case on what works. and perhaps what doesn't. gabriel's dondo, i'll just say to new york. ah, let's take you through some of the headlines here now just the are now. the world health organization is worn governments against eating cove. it's 19 restrictions to sued. several countries in europe are relaxing rules, despite concerns about the highly contagious delta vary and all of the countries of the america. we still have nearly 1000000 cases week 1000000 a week in the hook up. it is an.
