but hades border with the dominican republic is now closed. the authorities have shut down the airport until further notice raising questions about how haiti will recover from this attack on the body politic rosalyn jordan elgin's era. washington and our diplomatic editor james space has more reaction from you and headquarters in new york. here at un headquarters this deep concern about the possible repercussions after the assassination, the spokes person for the secretary general, read out this statement. the perpetrators of this crime must be brought to justice . the secretary general, extensive deepest condolences to the people and government of haiti and the family of the late president, the secretary general calls on all haitians to preserve the constitutional order, remain united in the face of this abhorrent act and reject all violence. some questioning whether haiti given its current security situation has the capacity to

investigate this crime. should there be an international investigation that would be something that should be discussed by the un security council? the current president of the council, france it, some basset confirmed to me that they plan to meet on thursday. another member of the council at the moment is ireland. it's really a shocking development. you know, i think you can be sure he is an issue. the counsel already deals with that we will continue to support the people of, hey, this is a critical moment. i think we all knew it was sensitive and difficult to on the ground in a see and view of the political situation and the security situation. this put staff in even grave or danger than before. the us used to have peacekeepers in haiti, but they withdrawn off the pressure from the bomber administration. there is a un mission existing in dealing with political issues that has more than a 1000 personnel. i'm told the leadership have been in back to back crisis meetings

. in other words, new south africa, the former president, jacob zoom. i is in police custody after turning himself in late on wednesday night . a court sent in fame to 15 months in jail for failing to show up any corruption inquiry last week. those charges him from his time in office, the police had been instructed to arrest duma if he didn't turn himself in by the deadline. on wednesday, his challenge, his imprisonment rolling is expected on friday family. mila has more from escort where's almost being detained? april, shortly before midnight deadline that the former president jacob zoom as foundation announced that he had decided to comply with the incarceration order given by the constitutional court a week ago. until now, the former president had resisted arrest. he was supposed to have given himself in last sunday when that didn't happen. police were instructed to arrest jacob's

humour. but there were concerns around safety and potentially volatile situation. around and con, blank was through natal, with a former president has a homestead and where he does enjoy significant support. now to avoid any type of confrontation between police and supporters. the former president then took a convoy with his protection service to this correctional facility and escort also inquisitive natal. he's now handed himself in, he's being processed and it's likely this is where he will spend at least the 1st few days of the sentence. because once that processing is completed, the authorities determine the most suitable correctional facility or accommodation for the form of president given he's age and his health. he had previously said

that he shouldn't be in prison because he's 79 years old. he's unwell and south africa is currently going through a 3rd wave of the covert 19 pandemic. you will know that you as a former president, he has and presidential protection unit and they brought him to us. but now we have to take over it to ensure that he's in custody custody, and also will have to respond to his special needs. if any happiness identified jacobs luma and his legal team have submitted an application to be heard by the constitutional court next week. and that's where he's hoping that either the judgment made that has found him guilty of contempt of court will be rescinded, or at least his sentence reduce from 15 months. but before that, he does have a pending application that the high court employee to marriage where he had asked

for the arrest, not to happen, but that judgement is only due on friday. and that's why the former president has been incarcerated. legal experts say the likelihood of that particular case being successful, very slim. and so the next time we could possibly hear from the former president is next week when his lawyers represent him at the constitutional court. possibly in litigation of the sentence, even though it's after the fact either way, for many south africans, it may be almost unbelievable that jacob's doom of the former president who hasn't been held accountable until now who faces a number of corruption charges, finds himself behind was in hong kong $47.00 pro democracy activists charged under china is national security law back in court. the challenges are related to their roles in organizing elections. last july,

the aim of that pool was to ensure that enough for democracy candidates would be elected to the cities legislative council. that's bringing diego pollen in hong kong for is just outside the court. so it, of course not the 1st time that these pro democracy activists have appeared in court, deviate, tell us about what happened today. this would be the 3rd time there appearing in court. and the session is largely procedural, more formalities to do with documentation and translation court. the court session has ended despite this thursday in 10 interest in this particular court session. not only due to the fact that the 47 will be just a list of the 2 of hong kong democracy activism. but also due to the fact that many of them are well known international faces like joshua want. in fact, there was a long q here of the public and supporters who wanted to be part or to witness this court case and not included representatives from embassies and consulates from

various countries. but also the interest is the fact that this is the largest suite under the national security law. and it is a test case for hong kong to this re system, this law and our on parallel to hong kong, highly vaunted highly respected common law system. and yet, it also undermines that in many are concerned that you know, the fact that this law is, will have no jury and that bail is not a right here. and many said that it's even presumed guilty until proven innocent instead of the way the common law system should work. so there is a great amount of interest in this case here, despite the fact that it is likely to run for a very long time, it is on president it. and the next session will be on september 23, d d a. it's been a year since the national security law came into effect in hong kong. what impact has it had on the cities pro democracy movement tools left in it and what's next?

you know, it's hard to believe the kind of impact it has had on hong kong. we did just being about a year and a week old, but it has affected almost every part of life. for one thing, we don't see protests anymore. and fact, a very rarely even see any, anything related to protest, be the slogan or a picture. the education system has changed also where children are young at 6 are being told what's what constitutes an offense under the version or collusion of foreign forces. music arts, culture, even biology is not affected by this law where anything seen an anti national or even anti china could be if i lation of the national security law. unless not even talk about the pro democracy movement here, which although there still are under current, it is on the surface in existence because people cannot express themselves anymore

. but it's not just hong kong that's been affected where people are self venturing, or even leaving the city, which is once the prettiest and most open city on chinese. so it's also hong kong, international funding that's been effected. all this is affecting the cities financial status as an international financial center. and in fact, the u. s. s. just extended a rich, it had or a bill. it has that will allow the bite in administration to impose economic sanctions on those deans as seen as a threat to us interest and security due to the fact that the national security law has no boundaries anyone anywhere on this planet can be seen as violating this law d v a. thank you very much for that. diego pal, and 9 for us there in hong kong. as plenty morehead on the news hour, including ethiopia, the grand renaissance dam is to be discussed that you and security council, the project history and ties with don and egypt. crucial border crossing that for

lifeline for the syrian refugees is at risk of closing because of a rift within the un security council and tampa bay make it to family cup wings in a row. over here with the action in awe over you and security council is set to discuss the grand renaissance dam later on thursday. the project has drained ties with egypt and sudan, but for a fee o. p and bits, a source of fried many have contributed millions of dollars to the project by buying bonds. and as catherine saw before, so looking forward to how it was changed, your life patch nurse get home issues as all she's ever used to light up her house, a bottle kerosene lamp. she lives in a village, 2 hours drive north about the starbuck who down there is a mike, good afternoon. we have many health problems. we spend more time than we should in

hospitals, and i think it's linked to this lamp. next door, her brother in law is using solar energy, but only he and a few others here can afford it. theater to women, travel far with donkeys to get the most basic support. if we had our tricity in our village, so they wouldn't have to go far to grind maze, for example, up to $65000000.00 the philippines. that's more than half the population are not connected to the electricity. greet. many have bought government bonds for the construction of the grand renaissance dom africa, the largest hydro electric down about 250 c o p, and leave in this village. the poor farmers who raised a $1500.00 for the construction of the dumb. the passionate about the project, and eagerly waiting to be connected to the grids. if you, if you're ha, started filling the down for a 2nd time, and this is causing a nice downstream egypt and so done, are worried about how it could affect their own water flows. the 2 countries want

a binding agreement governing how to download the operated talks mediated by the african union. how field prime minister, amid recently told parliament the project will not stop. it does most intend to either countries or intention is to work with other countries and improve the state of moses a. tim was worried about the tensions. he has invested about $2000000.00 in expanding his oxygen and nitrogen energy plant in itc patient of more reliable electricity. his factory, which supplies oxygen to all of eastern the field is facing daily and predictable power cuts for life. because without delay in this country cannot be put on commodity for us. we are going to be willingly romano.

we've always felt the agreement, the completion of the done is imminent. and a few pills like to show met to desa his family and neighbors. back in miss rocky village are preparing for what it may bring. catherine saw all jazeera miss rock a few. only feel, says it inform. so don, in egypt that he has began the 2nd phase of filling the damn, but cairo, and cartoon se, without an agreement, that will effect the region stability and security. i'll just here is have a morgan re, for some sedans, no 9 state near the border. we the field, every july, all the gates of there was there is them in sudan blue. now states are opened to allow the rivers water to pass through. but this year, engineers are having to change their plans because of a new damp, 100 kilometers upstream in neighboring in europe. and in recent years, the level of the reservoir of the rose area dam used to be lower because we knew

how much water was flowing in this year. we've held back more water than usual and change the release pattern so we can continue generating electricity that the dam produces nearly 15 percent up to that hydro electric power, about $280.00 megawatts in all hydro power accounts for have to dance electricity. but if you get the renaissance, them has 3 concerns about there with areas operation, which in addition to generating electricity, also provides water for some of to dance, largest agricultural schemes. if you appeal dam is a point of contention with the downstream countries to dan and egypt is alec more thought about that to be developed without a legally binding information sharing agreement on the feeling an operation of the renee on stem. we can't operate with serious dam, dan supports ethiopia building of the day, but with an agreement that it weren't effect the reserve is damn and it's operations. if you'd be us as their amazon, stan will generate electricity for more than habits, population, and left millions out of poverty with egypt is worried. it could result in less

water flowing downstream to down says 20000000 people could be affected by the 2nd phase of filling the reservoir of the few up in renaissance them is supposed to hold 13500000000 cubic meters of water after the 2nd filling. that's it was the capacity of the receiver, sam, that's the 2nd largest them in sedan, but with no agreement between sedan is an egypt on how the damage to operate. they are concerned about how it will affect not only on with areas but other sudanese dams, along denial, egypt and food and save the lack of a deal on the dam will affect the region security while so dan has ruled out going to work over the dam, joint military drills between it and it's not the neighbor has because if you get to increase its security around, it's dam on the blue and aisle. so damn, government also says it's open to a short term agreement on filling the dam under certain conditions. some analysts say that may be necessary to ensure through dan can continue generating hydroelectricity. so that is going to lose huge amount of resources by

reducing hydro for so this is why we can fee use power outage or out got out of the polar. so the main effect on the hydro power b b during the this period for the 15000000000 cubic meter. thank you for down in egypt. have turned to the un security council to provide solution as if you thought it's 2nd filling. if u. p a has rejected the move thing, the african union should resume handling the talks. he but morgan like 0. ruth harris, blue nile, or me at tragic miles. so and that's how the world help organisations described the global total of 4000000 current advice test warning where at a perilous moment in the pan demik, the w h. o chief, again, accused rich countries of hoarding vaccines and protective equipment saying it threatens the world's economic recovery. and he called on government to exercise

extreme caution in lifting restrictions. within the next half hour, the u. k said to announce plans to bring in quarantine free travel from some destination for people who have accelerated, but the w h o says they could be dangerous consequences for easing measures to quickly. some countries with high boxing nation coverage and planning to roll out booster shoot shots in the coming months and not dropping public because social measures and relaxing as though the pandemic is already over. however, compounded by fast moving violence and shocking in equity in boxing nation. far too many countries in every region of the world are seeing sharp spikes in cases and hospitalization. on several countries in asia have reported record number of infections in recent days with oxygen running out of hospitals. overwhelmed is

believe the highly transmissible delta variant is responsible. tony chang reports deserted streets in the city of re lee of the chinese authorities imposed a lockdown. the city on the border with me and my has seen a sudden rising cases in recent days. mass testing is now and a way to try and hold the spread, which is thought to originate across the border. inside me mar itself. the covered situation is deteriorating quickly. but instability following the military coup has meant testing and treatment have almost ground to a halt. medics have been targeted by the military because of their role in the civil disobedience movement. and many have been forced into hiding on call on the huge eagles due to our actions in the damage. but we have become criminal overnight by the military.

in indonesia greater transparency, but that has only revealed tens of thousands of daily infections. oxygen supplies have run so low that many hospitals have had to suspend admissions. some patients now relying on private supplies, the film much needed canisters to who care. we need oxygen because one of our family members is experiencing breathing difficulties and we are running out of it . that's why i have to cue. we need it badly. even in south korea, the country noted for its effective response to cove at 19 infections or reaching record levels. you know, the government will hold existing social distancing rules for next week, and do our best to stop to spread by taking extra disinfection measures. new supplies of vaccine arriving in the capital, sol, sent from israel across the asia. there's a rush, the secure and distribute vaccines as quickly as possible with supplies limited. it feels like a race against time. as cove 19th, delta variance swamps, asia, in

a both way toady change else's era bank of meanwhile has imposed the faith of emergency until q as it tries to curve the spread of covey. 19 the move comes just 2 weeks before the olympic games. i said to begin the japanese prime minister, you shared days, sugars tell the news conference a short while ago where he announced additional restrictions, including the continued ban on alcohol sales. this is coming just 2 weeks before the games begin. an announcement is expected the sometime today on whether or not spectators will be allowed to attend the olympics. the head of international olympic committee thomas back has arrived in tokyo, organizers hope to welcome up to 10000 fans, but the rise and the infection has the government considering a ban on spectators that speak to simon clark about all this. he's the head of division of biomedical sciences and biomedical engineering at the university of

reading his starting size from the u. k. thank you so much for being with us time and so on. and in much of the world today, the pandemic is not only worsening, not only ongoing, rather but worsening. you have japan announcing a state of emergency today, and yet they are some countries that are opening up. do you agree with the w h. that is too premature. to be open or do you think we just have to learn how to live with the fire self deteriorating situation? it would normally be a pretty disastrous to encourage more spread the virus. but many countries in katie my are trying to open up with the background of a successful vaccine program and hoping that managers to hold the infection and stop the situation in this country deteriorating. that would be the same in other countries as well. what is the most dangerous right now, simon? is it the variance, the delta varian, for example?

is it the uneven access to vaccines that the w h o has criticized or the easing of restrictions in some countries like the u. k. delta area is troublesome, there will be other very come along in time. i suspect this is not the end of things not being able to get hold of actually is a problem in the face of delta. but in countries not the u. k. successful in holding the viable spread with the vaccine, then that's a good indicator of other countries that they can perhaps be a bit more relaxed into course. but of course, that's a very big if and the u. k is sort of a trial run for the rest of the world. we'll see what happens. you talked about the delta, very unfair, and the crisis it seems now is increasingly of race between the vaccine and this highly contagious,

very and delta. but the delta is also spreading rapidly in countries that were seen as success stories like israel, the us or u k. so, how effective on the vaccines really against is very and then if you say they're going to be other variance, when are we going to see the end of it? so, so even in terms of vaccines and how effective all they actually, well, you know, that's a good question because we've never actually seen been able to work out the effectiveness of these axes, again, sort of wild, unrestricted transmission. it's always been in the background of restrictive movement in a country. so that will be very interesting to find out. and we can any really do that by about by finding out, by, by letting it happen and see, see how things go. but as for when things will end, who knows, that's a massive question. these things evolve. they will continue to evolve. there are other variance around the world that are not spread quite so well as delta,

but could still causes problems in the future. thank you very much. for talking to simon class from the university of turning us there from the u. k. thank you. social media campaign in malaysia is encouraging people who have fallen on hard times to hang a white flag outside their home fast to ensure they receive community help with food and paying rent has covered 1900 locked down, continues indefinitely by the store and report from the capital, the campaign has taken another turn with people directing their anger towards the government. traditionally a symbol of surrender. but in malaysia, a white flag has come to signify a cry for help. the campaign started on social media after stories emerged of people experiencing hardship because of the continuing, locked down. police recorded nearly 473 sides in the 1st 5 months of this year,

compared to an average of 620. in the past 2 years, michael adams tang worked in the hotel until he lost his job last year. he then started delivering food, but it's finding it increasingly difficult to make a living at the gala indies that lockdown, not only are there few jobs, but foot orders have also reduce. so my income has gone down. we don't make enough to pay rent. we only have enough to eat for the d. malaysia. borders have been closed for more than a year. and even though some states have started eating restrictions, a nationwide lockdown announced in june is still in force. people have responded to the p for help in various ways. restaurant owners have set up food banks and are giving out free meals, sung yes. business is bad. sales are down nearly 90 percent, but we are seeing so many people in the and so my friends and i pulled money

together to help and soon customers started contributing as well. some have created apps to link people who need assistance with those who can provide it. there are donation drives online to help people pay rent and other bills. but the white flag campaign has also started another trend directed at those in power. the economic district and desperation has fuels resentment towards the government. as social media campaign is calling on people to fly a black flag as a symbol of the anger that calls for the prime minister and we didn't. yes, in to resign. his biggest coalition partner a party known as i'm no, says it's withdrawing support for him. we'd in leadership cannot be tested until parliament resumed later this month. but for those trying to survive from day to day politics is the last thing on their mind.
