ah, ah the thousands march through the streets in havana and other cuban cities and red protests against the government handling of the pandemic. ah, hello again, i'm this tells you, hey, this is al jazeera life and also coming up locked downs returns about the se, asia, as a more contagious, very, and triggers. a rise in corona virus, infection, heartbreak to england after a nail, biting penalty. shoes out italy, when the european football championship for the 1st time in 1968 was fired for

people to flee their homes in the western united states. as the heat fed brings near record temperature. ah, anti government protests are happening right across cuba. demonstrates as they are demanding more action from the government around poverty, the economy, and the current of virus pandemic. there are reports that the government has mobilized its special forces, known as the black berries to crack down on these demonstrations earlier. president miguel diaz canal accused us of being responsible for the unrest and augustine has been monitoring developments for from havana right now in central event. because the internet has been all day and hasn't been working for the last hour or so. possibly. school reasons does the process with hundreds and hundreds of people, a various points throughout havana and other cities. so what underlining these is

the biggest political process and i can pick up the last 3 decades since 19 ninety's. all my husband just took away from, from where i can see it is as young as i'm a good income child is on the t shirts. got it, getting all the mobilized parts nearby, that very power. the pos is. i can tell some news here in the background with all the people who say government living here in cuba. i know that some of those people with forced to participate because this is the way politics works in cuba. but also living here. and people know that some of the people, well, it's not the for the right. and so what we're saying now is, is, is a face. so in some parts of savannah, between the people who support the government and the 3 and the people who do not become. when i speak to john suarez, he's the executive director at the center for

a free cuba. and he says, purchased as a, been fed up with the conditions they've been living under fi. yes. i think it's with the cuban government, made a decision back in january to shut down, travel from the dominican republic, panama, the united states for cuban nationals and prioritize russian tourists. many of them are coded 19 and that's blaming the cuban government for the outbreaks had been taking place. and at the same time, there's a lot of assistance that normally would be provided by your people. cubans are able to travel to central america, the u. s. the dominican republic and bring back food and medicine which they're no longer able to do. so that's creating a hostile environment for the cubans. and that's why they're so outraged and why they're demanding change and destabilizing the country, the policies a, b, l, which has been shutting off avenues for keeping, to be able to operate within the informal economy in cuba. which keeps many of them

a lot of their suffering. there's a lack of food, a lack of medicine. and that's what's driving these people out into the streets because they see that it's government policy by havana that's making the situation worse. and there's been a collapse and followed by cubans in the region. at the same time, there's been an explosion of russians coming in, and they've been linked to outbreaks of cobit 19. so that's also driving the outrage. also the pandemic thou and the highly contagious spell to variance is being blamed for rapid rise and corona virus infections, in se, asia, indonesia is currently running desperately low on oxygen. it's recording more than 35000 cases a day and a new survey has found that almost half of your current population has had curve in 1900 out some stage about 7 times higher than official figures. meanwhile, thailand has gone into lockdown for 2 weeks for the night, coughing. now in place in bangkok and south korea's capital and surrounding areas have now moved to the strictest level of social distance thing. there is some good

news and singapore though with measures that easing as vaccination numbers rise. i will speak to ron mcbride in the south korean capital, so very shortly. but 1st, let's get more on the situation in thailand with tony chang in the capital. bangkok, tony, these restrictions in thailand, sound like these are the toughest. yeah. well then they're not as tough as they were last year and i think the government's very keen not to impose a complete lockdown. they've requested the people stay at home during the daytime. there is a curfew at night between 9 pm and 4 pm in the daytime. they've asked all businesses other than those that are essential. and by that they mean food supplies, medical supplies, things like that, that everybody start working from home. but they haven't made an enforced order as yet. and judging by the number of people who are out on the streets this morning, not sure that 2 people are taking that too seriously. people are also being told

they can gather in groups no larger than 5, but then not being kept in doors. and i think the government is very aware of the increasing economic problems that the lockdown has brought and could yet bring. that said, they have a numbers that we haven't seen in thailand today. they were 8 and a half 1000. over the weekend, they were more than 9000 new infections a day. which more than they were having in the whole of 2020, and the death toll is rising to. but time answer stuck between a rock and a hard place. as this is going on, it's trying to open up to tourists as well. we've got a trial scheman for kit killed the cat sandbox. what tourists who vaccinated being allowed in. there are an awful lot of conditions they have to fulfill to get visas . and we're seeing more and more cases of people who are coming in on plains where there is somebody in fact to be covered and then having to quarantine anyway. so i think the hope had been that thailand could cautiously start not could get it. all

important tourist industry running again with the levels of infection we're seeing now and all of the complications that brings i think that it will probably continue in per kit, but the hope was to extend it to other tourist air is around time. and that probably isn't gonna happen in the foreseeable future. tony, given that we have been seeing these planes lands in pre candidate, i believe the 1st on this was a week ago now. and they're all these questions being asked about reopening, what is the mood like on the streets that how it's high people feeling about all this? i think they wish that the government had imposed stricter love downs earlier in april and we saw this rise in infections. now with the numbers we're seeing in the community, i think many of really concerned that we're going to be locked in the state and definitely that these restrictions are going to have to carry them. and this is supposed to last 2 weeks, but i don't think anyone really imagines that. we're suddenly going to be free of

these infections, particularly with the delta v r. and what they really want to see is the vaccination program working. there are real concerns here about signing that which the government has made a main pillar of vaccination program. we're seeing lots of medical stuff who's had double sign the vaccination still getting infected. so they want to see more vaccines and better vaccines. tony cheng, that was all the ages for us from bangkok. thank you tony. well, let's now cross over to the south korean capital sol and speech run mcbride, rob, these tougher restrictions now being imposed across the capital. what to authorities their expect to happen. that's right. they are imposed for 2 weeks, but may well be extended. after that, i think the authorities here have been really alarmed by the speed with which this 4th wave has suddenly risen up. it's due in part to the more transmissible delta variance, but it also combines, it seems, with a general sense of complacency,

amongst the public. and also from the government's point of view and admission that he did got it's messaging somewhat wrong. and as we've had the rollouts of the vaccination program here around 30 percent of people in south korea now had at least the 1st jap and as a way of trying to encourage people to get vaccinated as that numbers come up, that the government has been announcing the lifting of certain restrictions, for example, if you've had one job, then you won't have to wear a mask in public. if you're completely vaccinated, you'll be able to beat up in large groups. so this is had the effect of creating an impression that we are finally emerging from this. it is lead to people going out more lead to people not taking the kind of precautions that they would normally do and we have seen as a result. it seems a large number of clusters, especially in the greater sol metropolitan area and also involving people in the younger people in the twenties and thirties. although, although around a 3rd of the population here is now protected to some degree by vaccinations that

the young people who are relatively unvaccinated, these younger age groups. so the government is really trying to get on top of this to try to stop this 4th way. there is some good news compared to previous waves, and that is, we are not seeing the kind of death so hospitalizations from, from this way than that's because the people who would normally be getting sick and be getting taken into hospital often those vulnerable groups who are now by and large, protected by their vaccination on the try their across those developments for us in sole. thank you so much, rob ah, now moving on and actually have biesen england to win football european championships for the 1st time since 1900. 68. the final in london finished in a $11.00, draw even off the extra time. it was me who then held onto then after triumph and the penalty shoots out. and you, richardson reports the ending and team,

a lot dryer. it's up in the north. we are seeing that. what, whether, if we take a closer look at bay shing, they're expecting the heaviest rain fall in 3 years, we could see flash, flooding and landslides were expecting up to a 100 millimeters of rain to fall between sunday evening and choose day morning. and as we go into to say that system is going to edge its way up to the north east, taking with it the wet and windy weather, we could see some flash flooding in areas there. but for now, the korean peninsula remaining largely fine and dry of peppering and showers here and there were much of the wet weather affecting japan. torrential rain, continuing across much of hon shoe, and there's more wet weather as well. coming up to the south on choose day hong kong staying hot and humid through monday, but that wet weather kicks in as we go into tuesday. and as we move to south asia, it is looking very wet in india. that's one soon range. inundating that west coast, bringing heavy showers to mom by

again, i missed your pain to remind you about top stories here. the south thousands have joined red anti government protests and cuba, demonstrators and bonding more action from the government on the economy. the current of our highly contagious delta variance is being blamed for a rapid rise and current of ours infections, in se asia, indonesia is not recording more than $5000.00 cases. a day while thailand and south korea have imposed tougher restriction, italy has won the euro. 2020 football championship, beating england and a nail biting out the 1st european championship trophy and 53 is now thousands of people have gathered in bosnia herzegovina to commemorate the 1995 separate need some africa and to bury 1900 newly identified victims of the genocide 26 years after they were murdered, 16 men, 2 teenage boys and one woman were laid to rest. joining more than 6600 other

victims. more than a 1000, most muslim men and boys were killed around several dates that during the bosnian war time to michelle has more from that memorial and 7026 years later. 19 victims of the 7th genocide have found their it'll be the youngest. among them was just 16 years old when he was killed in the oldest, had 63 years. after the memorial, there is still a community that lives in severance and some of the challenges they face. one of the challenges they face and they emphasize on is the genocide denial. and that was the theme of the collaboration. the genocide, denial has the stab. the genocide, denial is the lay of the latest or the last stage of genocide. and it can indicate on other future suffering. that is why this issue is really important for the victims was in has to go, doesn't have

a law that forbids genocide denial because the bosnian serbs have the power of you know, in the parliament and they are using that power to block block, bringing that law into power, on the other hand, the international community has tools in the office of the high representative to bring that law into power regardless of the parliament and veto in the parliament. there are some indications that the current high representative will end in school who is leaving office at the end of this month might in the next days or weeks bring the flow into power. and in a way to bring a legacy to his tenure as the, as the high representative of international community in bosnia. now, a former police officer turns kentoria gang leda is asking his supporters to join mass purchased in hasty g. michelle, it's better known as barbecue, says the president, assassination is an outrage. he's accusing opposition parties, a process going on with his mother. meanwhile, the u. s. a sent

a delegation to have you to assist into the investigation into the assassination. and speaking to the fox news, the pentagon press secretary says the officials will assess the security risk in the country. we are aware of their request by the haitian government, we're analyzing it just like we would any other request for assistance or the pentagon is going through a review. i'm not going to get ahead of that process. and today, in interagency team largely from the department of homeland security and the f b, i are heading down to haiti right now to see what we can do to help them any investigative process. and i think that's really where our energies are best applied right now. in helping them get their arms around investigating this incident and figuring out who's culpable, who's responsible and, and how best to hold them accountable going forward. that's where our focus is right now. and you gallagher has one out from washington dc. well, this is what the us is calling a technical team, made up of department of homeland security and f b i. agents. and essentially, what they may do, or at least i think they will try and do,

is add some legitimacy to any of the findings in the investigation into who assassinated job know movies in the early hours of wednesday morning. that's as much as they can do at the moment because the conspiracy theories now surrounding the death of job know movies are really taking hold in haiti. wally security situation is worsening all the time because of course, in this nation at the moment there are now political arguments about who will be the new president when the next elections will be held and haven't been in the elections in a t since 2017. so this is a very precarious moment in which most haitians are hiding in their homes. listening to the radio, watching tv, waiting for some kind of news about what will happen next. i mean, the situation is so bad that some gang members are holding their own press conferences saying they will fight on behalf of the haitian people. so this technical team from the us, if they can get to the bottom of this investigation, find out who funded these people who was behind it and why that may help in the

short term. but i think also in the short term, most patients are simply worried about their own security. wildfires raging in the west of the united states with record breaking temperatures, forecasts for both california and nevada. this comes just weeks after another dangerous heat wave hit north america, in which hundreds of sudden deaths recorded. next year. brian report me. this is the largest wild fire of the year in california, burning along the border with nevada. a combination of 2 fire, sparked by lightning, doubled in size between friday and saturday. fires rolling down. here is one of several fires, straightening homes across the wasted united states, blamed on so called heat dome, pockets of high pressure which push warm air down, forcing temperatures up this job. those are the effects of climate change here it's real human induced impacts. acute impacts are happening decades before even the

scientists are predicted. with scorching temperatures across penn state, 30000000 americans are facing extreme heat. this wildfire and oregon doubled in size on saturday, pushed by strong winds. officials with cold delays, unpredictable and erratic. some areas have been evacuated, or others have been told to pack up and be ready to leave at any moment. the heat and the fires, putting pressure on the power grid. people are being urged to conserve water and electricity, old system and then they just tend to break on hot day. they can take the heat, they over heat their warnings, a dangerous conditions could cause heat related illnesses. this latest surge follows the hottest june on record for the us and historic heat wave estimated to killed nearly 200 people. the searing temperatures baking visitors at california, joshua tree, national park, thought is place on our site. this is a hot,

it's never been hotter. it feels like we're in and out in the nearby death valley. also in the mojave desert reached 53 degrees celsius on saturday. 54 on friday. if confirmed it would be the highest recorded and more than a century and close to the highest ever measured on earth. the conditions of so extreme and the air so dry that some of the water dropped by aircraft to fight the fires evaporates before it reaches the ground. forecasters say, even if temperatures don't continue to break records, the widespread oppressive and long lasting heat remains the thread elixir brian al jazeera. i spoke to simon dawn and he is a professor climatology at the university of british columbia. and he says, you only need to step outside to see the rapid changes happening with the climate. well this, this event, these he waved are clearly due to climate change. we've already had kind of

forensic analysis sort of like the c s i team coming in after the crime scene looking for fingerprints. and then that analysis shows that the heat waves that we experienced in canada last week, we're more than 99 percent attributable to climate change. or another way to think about that, is there a $150.00 times or more, more likely to happen because of the human impact on the climate system. these are rare events that are becoming and incredibly more common because of climate change . and so there's really, there's really no doubt in the scientific community about that. you know, we're really getting to the key question. i mean we, what we're learning is that we cannot live with easily with climate change. the core of the problem is that the climate is changing faster than we can adapt right in the climate is changing because of human activity. so means we need to reduce emissions, desert to reduce the warming, and reduce the suffering. but it also means because we've delayed action for so long that we need to take measures to adapt to the changes that have happened

already. ha, speaking about adaptations this year, the kansas festival has gone green. it's band plastic bottles deployed of electric cars and organized a special program of climate focused movies. natasha butler, i'm at french. the marion courtyard who produced one of the 7 films selected you document tree bigger than us, follows environmental campaigner malott a visa and i she travels the world to meet other young activists for injectors. mario katya produced the film. she says the young people in it give her hope because they have a lot to teach us. they have a lot to say. and just because they're aware of the situation more than older generations and, and because they act, they do things bigger than i see one of a number of films about climate change. the film festival, where organizes if given ecology,

top billing for the 1st time. this is the can have to pay a green tags. it is money that is used to all set for festivals. carbon footprint is an example of how the movie industry is increasingly trying to tackle. it's put loosing practices with for the sake of knowledge, cruise, transportation, and travel. film productions can be big polluters. but paul, to the industry are changing. profile studios near my se, offers a more sustainable way to make films. solar panels provide power for recycled and light. so no energy motional, there's only this, i want to leave a better planet for my children. and sustainability is also important in terms of marketing, because many movie companies wants to film in clean green studios. so this gives us an advantage on the power set of historic drama to furnish president this consultancy sustainable filmmaking, which uses waste and cost to this autonomy the heavier we can easily lower films, carbon footprint, but not using generators for example. but we also try

a whole system for everyone, including suppliers to think differently. because yeah, it's essential that the industry adapt. i'm really thankful that they're taking this you know this turn because because it's, it's must face an act. a film festival that attracts tens of thousands of people from around the world isn't an obvious standard bearer for the climate emergency fight. but when it comes to raising awareness, what happens in can gets noticed. natasha butler, i'll just sarah, can. billionaire richard branson has flown to the edge of space fulfilling a lifelong dream and making space tourism a reality. the fight reached ac kilometers above the surface of viet robinette is that the spaceport and new mexico with more julian air. richard branson has earned

his astronaut wing the lifetime. ah, the flight went off without a hitch. the space plain unity was lifted skyward. attached to a double fuselage, mothership called after branson's mother released release relief at high altitude unity separate from eve, then fired with powerful rockets blasting branson, 3 virgin galactic executives and a pair of pilots to a height of 88 kilometers above earth. complete that is not exactly outer space, the international scientific body that decides such thing says space begins at 100 kilometers. but that hardly seem to matter. as the passengers and crew enjoyed the incredible views of the earth below, with the darkness of space above. they also experience several minutes of micro gravity allowing them to float nearly waitlist. you can see him now. the 70 year

old british entrepreneur, one the billionaire space race beating amazons. jeff bezos and spaces founder you on month to have annual basis plans to lift off in his blue origin space companies rocket on july 20th mosques, plans for space travel haven't been announced. after maneuvering for reentry. unity glided to a flawless landing at the virgin galactic spaceport in a remote section of the new mexico desert. as onlookers cheered, the entire flight lasted about an hour back on earth. branson held a news conference. honestly, nothing could prepare you for the view from space and if the whole magical ship then it was time to celebrate frances plan is to make space tourism possible earthlings. following today's successful flight, there will be several more tests the branson spacecraft. the goal is to send

tourists into space beginning next year. the price tag $250000.00 each. rob reynolds al jazeera in sierra county, new mexico. ah . this is al jazeera, these are the headlines. thousands have joined red anti government protests and cuba. demonstrators are demanding more actions from the government around poverty, the economy. the corona virus pandemic president miguel diaz can now has same united states to be on rest and august in is in havana with does the process with hundreds with.
