world views like we do, the scale of this camp is like nothing you've ever access to health care or something. well, we want to know, how does these things affect people? we revisit places day, even when they're no international headline. also, there are really invest in that, and that's a privilege as a journalist, lose lockdown or enforce again in parts of south east asia, kind of virus infections increased or more contagious variance. ah, so rather than watching all their life, my headquarters here in the whole, so coming up keep us sees the largest anti government protests in decades. that protest is angry over the handling of the pandemic italy,

european football champions, to be england in london where police are now investigating racist abuse against black players. the silver screen goes green, will tell you what this is can build festival is doing to help the environment. ah, well, we begin with some breaking news coming out of jordan and a court. it's sentencing to former officials of plotting a coup against the monarchy form a royal court chief bust them. our dollar has been given a 15 year hard labor sentence, and sharif hudson's a member of the royal family, has also been given 15 years. we'll try and get you more on those stories and the day progresses. but moving on to the other top story that we're covering here on, i'll just say, are on the highly contagious delta variance is being blamed for a rapid rising current virus infections. in se, asia,

indonesia has been recording more than 35000 cases a day. and a new survey hassan that almost half of jakarta population has had cove at 19, at some stage 7 times higher than the official thinkers. thailand has gone into locked down for 2 weeks with a night curfew in place in bangkok. slow vaccine, violent and limited testing is only adding to the challenges and south korea, capital and surrounding areas, and has also been moved into the strictest level of social distancing. clubs and churches are being closed and private gatherings are also limited. well, in a moment we'll get more on that situation in south clay with robert by the 1st that's called over to tony chang, who's in the tie capital bank. and of course, tony lockdown in thailand. begins on monday. what's it really looking like in reality and how people reacting to it? well, it's certainly a lot more relaxed than it was last year,

and people don't seem to be taking this order quite seriously. what's different is the government is asking people to follow the guidelines. it isn't enforcing them as, as it did this time last year when we saw the 1st long term, the governments asked the only medical personnel and people in other essential fields i, food production continue to come into their places or work well they don't seem to be following that at the moment, there are lots of other people working inside the capital today. so i think that it's going to be something of an issue. the government does have punitive jail sentences if it wishes to impose them, all fines doesn't appear to be doing so yet. we're also going to see a night time lockdown, starting at 9 pm until 4 pm. and there are checkpoints in place around bank of to check that that is being imposed. these measures are only going to last 2 weeks. however, in the scale of infections,

which the government predict are going to hit $10000.00 new infections a day. this week. i think it's such a short, low down is unlikely to really have that much impact. and i think people are really concerned that what's been going on since we saw the 3rd way, which now seems to become a 4th wave. these measures are just going to get stricter and stricter and there's no end in sight. the only way i can really and i think many people feel is true and effective vaccination program. and at the moment that's not really happening. a lot of people are having vaccination appointments cancelled because there appears to be a shortage and a lot of people being vaccinated with signing with the chinese likes and vaccine that is proving to be not desperately effective against bill to variance. in fact, ty, doctors and over the weekend that while most of them have had 2 shots assign yvette more than 800 has recently been infected with cova 19. so i think people would

like to see the government really getting that vaccination program in operation. but of course, getting supplies of vaccine in thailand as elsewhere in the world is a real problem. tony check in bangkok, thanks very much for the update. well, let's cross over to robert, but he's also in the region in south korea and insole and raw, but tougher obviously restrictions being imposed in the capital and the areas around sol, the authorities are really worried about the development of this sort of new variant. i think what really has alarmed them is the speed with which we've seen this 4th wave really search. the government certainly has been very worried that in the past, in the space of less than a week, basically we've all seen the virtual doubling of the the numbers of new cases being reported every day. the countries president has held talks with the leaders of the greater metropolitan soul area and also the neighboring province really promising

to get on top of this, introducing the toughest measures of social, distinct distancing that it has available to it. they'll be in force for 2 weeks. but could be extended beyond that, the government has admitted that yes, part of the problem has been the prevalence of the the delta barrier. but also the government has admitted that it has been sending mixed signals mix messages when it comes to the vaccination rollout. what's happened is that as the vaccines have been rolled out and so far we have around a 3rd of the population have had at least one jap. the government has been keen to promote the fact that restrictions will gradually be lifted. for example, if you've been vaccinated, you won't have to wear a mask in public. now, this is all well and good. it's shows that there is light at the end of the tunnel . but many people here have been taking this as a signal that we are through this and that is virtually in the rear view mirror. they have not been following the the measures that they should be following. the

husband, a certain complacency drift again, and we've seen that in a number of very serious outbreaks of clusters, especially in the sol area, and cost is which have impacted and affected especially younger people. people in their twenties and thirties, who lodge the not being vaccinated. so the government's concern, we also see that concern in the public and the numbers of people coming forward to try to get vaccinated. we have today, monday the latest population group has now been made eligible to get vaccinated. that's the 55 to 59 year olds. of there are several 1000000 and as soon as the website went active from midnight monday, it was absolutely inundated with people trying to get online at 180000 people in the early hours of monday. all trying to register to get vaccinated showed just does show the sense of urgency, of many people here to get that fax and a sure protection robert brought in. so thanks very much for the update. well, thing of the reason take it has entered into the state of emergency 2 weeks ahead.

all the olympic games residents are expected to watch the games from home with bars and restaurants being prevented from serving alcohol around 2000 infections are being reported daily. and the state of emergency, which is the country for in the pandemic will last until august. the 22nd measures and are being imposed in okinawa, heels training government and strongly urging citizens to stay home as cases continue to rise despite lockdown measures. the country reported $112.00 cases on monday. it's big, it's daily figured this year. the vast majority of infections are spreading through the community. washington is warning china that any attack on the philippines in the south china sea would draw a u. s. response under a mutual defense treaty, the repeated warning comes of hundreds of activists a minute, a rally on the 5th anniversary of a ruling against china's claims to the territory in the south trying to see an international tribunal found. china had violated the philippine sovereign rights by

interfering with fishing and petroleum exploration, which china rejects cuba, has seen its biggest anti government protest in decades. thousands of marsh doesn't economic crisis grips. the nation government mismanagement upon damage. can view sanctions are being blamed. present miguel diaz can then accuses washington of stirring unrest to read by reports. yeah, we're not a free, candid, thousands of people on the street of havana route is like this one happened across the country, expressing frustration over been demick restrictions. and the worsening economic price is on the island nation. people. a lot of it. we are here for the repression because they are killing us with hunger. the houses are falling and we have no homes. they have the money to build hotels while letting us go hungry. the past year and a half has been difficult for us economy as happened. they may have had a devastating impact on the tourism sector. the country was forced to carry out

major economic reform. in the past week, the amount of coven 1900 infections rose sharply in the province of my dancers, where hospitals i was struggling to cope. doctor se during desperate need of oxygen and beds to treat patients, breasted and miguel, the mail blame the us embargo for the situation. and that's government supporters to take to the streets law may be burning, won't go. so how do you, we are not going to admit that any council revolutionary, most and race sold out to the government of the united states, sold out to the empire, receiving money from the agencies, allowing themselves to be carried away by all these strategies of ideological subversion, to provoke destabilization in our country, there will be a revolutionary response. we call upon all the revolutionaries of the country all the communists, to take to the straits, to any of the places where these provocations are going to take place to day from now on. and in the following days,

security forces arrived soon after the protest. 30 people were arrested and some clashes broke out pro and anti government demonstrators. a security beat me and my daughter a minus they beats us because they were walking down the street protest like this one are uncommon in cuba. this is the biggest one to take place since 1994. doing what is known as the special period right after the fall of the soviet union. for many, there were an example of the changing time from the caribbean nation. and how many i no longer afraid to speak up. that he said, well, i just eda. so then, for his constitutional court is due to begin hearing, an appeal by jacob zimmer again to the 50 month jail sentence. the former president turned himself into police last week after being found guilty of failing to appear to corruption hearing. now the 17 year old has lord several legal challenges to try to stay out of prison. that's got the very latest for me to belong. correspondence

who's following event 4th in janice bag. a fascinating story over the last few days . ready for media because we now seeing overnight disturbances and supported zuba and it's home province. but it's really the courts that zoom was hoping we'll have sort of the final say in his favor. well, this really is the last attempt by the former president to have that sentence reviewed. he can't necessarily appeal to the constitutional court because it does have the final say it's the highest court in south africa and can't be appealed. and so he's hoping that they would set aside the judgement based on court procedure. he says that he didn't have the opportunity to present his case to the constitutional court that the judgement was made without his presence. and that he's also ill, his elderly, and that it's his ill health and also lack of finances that contributed to him not

appearing before the constitutional court. and that's after the commission of inquiry, which is looking into corruption in south africa, put forward this application to the constitutional court for contempt of court. when the former president wouldn't cooperate with that particular body or structure, looking into corruption. now the commission is saying that the former president has put some untruth forward saying that he did have the opportunity and he decided against it. he willingly was uncooperative with the constitutional court as well as the commission. this really is the last opportunity for the full president to have that sentence of 15 months set aside. but we also know that they are supporters of jacobs tomorrow. and we've seen a number of protests that now descended into looting of a number of stores both in the halting province, as well as considering to tell with a former president is from and many of the supporters had promised that they would

be backlash. they would be confrontation, and there would be this kind of violent response if the former president was jailed and, and that's what we've seen of the last few days as jacobs. you must spend now his 5th day in prison. so me the miller. john, thanks very much. for the update well, fella had here on al jazeera, one of haiti's, most powerful gang leaders threatens protest over the killing of president of louise. i i, it's time for the journey with the sponsored by cut on airways. while the story remains much to say for good part of western europe, there was coming up the atlantic slow moving wells of cloud. bigger. there's a low pressure that's tends to be rain. a loss of cloud, a bit of wind and

a drop in temperatures at all, run the edge. so from this high pressure of a moscow and through eastern europe and back towards spain, attempt as a cart highly with us generally fine. in fact, hot for many not quite record hot, but pretty close in one or 2 places. but this blue represents the rain i, when it comes up because he outsets fairly heavy rain for the western side of switzerland, eastern side of france and the position on monday. the temperatures in showed here just giving you a color overlay. so it's actually in the twenty's, even the low thirty's for good part of central eastern europe. there are thunderstorms, possibly here, still to come, but really the heat, most people are concerned about eastern poland, the baltic states, and down through the western side of the balkans. there are warnings in place just to keep the public on their toes in moscow. once again, temps is rising by 32 degrees for the spring, the streets, and the people enjoying the sun. bathing or keeping cold. the real high temperatures have been in the east side of spain as a warning,

a severe heat. ashley george david, those temperatures will drop down tomorrow as this weather feather north influences sponsored pay cut on airways. when freedom of the press is on the threat. you know, you just con, thought genuinely about your thoughts toward the making government step outside the mainstream. the has been a implement here just some of access to the internet shift the focus, the panoramic that's turned out to be a handy little pretext of the prime minister to clamp down on the press covering the waves. the news is covered. so listening post on our o the me

look like you're watching out there at least the whole realm. the reminder of our top stories and needs is coming out of jordan, that a court that has sentence to former officials to 15 years in prison. putting a coup against the jordanian monarchy, are accused of pushing forward to the throne. prince hums as no punitive to king of dylan. both highly contagious delta variance is being blame for rapid rise in credit of ours infections. in se asia thailand has gone into lockdown for 2 weeks. and south korea has imposed tougher restrictions and keep it has seen its biggest anti government protest in decades. south of monsters, the economic crisis grips the nation. government mismanagement the pandemic and us sanctions are being blames. a former police officer turn notorious gang leader is asking his supporters to join mass protests in haiti. jimmy cherry, better known as barbecue, is accusing opposition. parties of plotting at present driven as well as murder.

the u. s. has sent a delegation to haiti to assist in the investigation into his assassination. particle haine has the latest haitian police say these men paraded out for the press, were the ones who carried out an attack that killed haitian president jovan, now mo, east and wounded. his wife, the suspects, 18 colombian men, most of them, former soldiers and 2 americans of haitian descent. but now authority say they have the mastermind blaming of florida doctor saying he flew into the country and a private jet intent on taking over the presidency. american investigators from the f b i and homeland security are believed to be taking part in the investigation now. but as for haiti's request for us troops, it seems unlikely. and today, an 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. there are reports that armed gangs have been taken over. there are violent crimes unchecked by police. in certain places, we see one or 2 police officers, but they don't have the capacity to take over security. they are not enough police . the director general of the national police said they are enough police for the capital, but i don't see them. we can see one. yeah, one day. we want to buy that and now one of haiti's most powerful gains leaders is threatening more violence. but it's one of the by we will take to the street to ask those who monopolize the country's economy to give us our country back with us . it's time for black people with afro her, like us to own supermarket, to have car dealerships and own bank. i call on the attention of the masters of the

because the people will take to the street. yeah, the last time the people came out, they threw tear gas. not was it. when the people come out, we are going to use self defense. i repeat, if they shoot at us, we already know what we have to do when it got somebody to so many haitians have been hiding in their home. but some look for sanctuary in their churches sunday. well, hope frances sent them public prayers. new to me. i joined the hartsville appeal of the bishops of the country to drop the weapons and choose life and choose to live together in brotherhood in the interest of everybody and in the interest of all the others. i am close to the beloved people of haiti. i hope the spiral of violence will end in the nation will be able to recover towards a future of peace and harmony. and still, there is a political void as politicians fight over who will lead next. petty call. hain al jazeera washington. the

news now italy have beaten england too in football's european championship for the 1st time since 1968th. the final in london finished in a one old drawer for extra time. and it was italy who then held enough in the penalty shootout. and the richardson reports on an english team, backed by impassioned home support at london's when the stadium and italian side on a mission to take the european championship trophy back to rome. ah, england couldn't have dreamt of making a better start from new york, putting his country ahead. just the 2nd minutes went to talk to him to school his 1st international go the fastest ever in a you are a final unbeaten in the

last 33 games. italy wrestle by way back into contention. federico keep going close to me. tell you the 2nd began with rahim sterling, taking it's humble in the italian books, the referee deciding to wave england away rather than point to the penalty. spots to acute give don't you know very tonight italy then began to take control of the game. lean on avenue, she converting that pressure into a desert equalizer can with england struggling to escape the rest of their opponents. the match headed into extra time the impact of an energy stopping night and tournaments was becoming evident. his final would be decided in a penalty shootout. neither team looked assured from the spot

but it was english. teenager k seca missed the decisive kick. it meant italy celebrate their 1st european title since 1968 i had seen that didn't qualify for the last will will soon be turning their focus to a similar success. next year's finals incatel ah, andy richardson, al jazeera, the u. k prime minister bowers johnson has condemned the online racist abuse of england, blank players, marcus rash for jaden santo and bouquet is psycho amongst those talk that after missing those bought cakes, now the metropolitan police say they have also open that investigation into the beef. the football association is issued a statement condemning races to be song, social media, strongly condense, all forms of discrimination and the pulled by the online racism that has been aimed at some of our england players on social media. we could not be clearer than any one behind such disgusting behavior is not welcome in the following team,

and we'll do all we can to support the plays affected while urging the toughest punishments possible for anyone responsible. adam rainy is following the results for us from reg, because very happy country where you are. but before we talk about italy itself, adam, i mean, fee for you way for national associations and clubs of all being pains really having a to try and make sure that fans know that there is no place to racism in this or any sport. and that is also true of those in italy for sure. so last night we were in a, a viewing fan official center not far from where i'm standing some 2500 people there. and at another one across town, there were reports of races, cheers and chanting. bare when some of the black england players were on the screen, such shows that this really permeates a large sector of fan bases around the world. especially in europe,

where we see these countries trying to struggle and deal with this integrating their teams more trying to get fans to realize that there's no place for this. but what we see in england, as you just mentioned, very much, but also here, where just in recent years, black italian players were jeered from banana peels on the, on the, on the, on the pitch and also called monkeys awful. awful comments may be aren't stopping necessarily here either. the truth is england, it's more visible because the team is more diverse and more multiracial. whereas italy is overwhelmingly ethically italian team. you don't see it as often but make no doubt that same sensibility permeates the fan base. here and you don't see this much, but that's perhaps because you just don't have the same diversity of players because it's given, it's really certainly a chunk to smile after what has been a very tough 18 months for them being the 1st country to be hard hit by the covert pandemic, for sure. last night. returning actually the early morning after being out in the

street for hours, you just saw explosions of joy around every corner. navigating the city with wall, the wall traffic people, italian flags, fireworks layers, people dancing champion, ways they have not done in 18 months or more. and just when you thought you had reached the part of the city where you may make a little headway to get home, all of a sudden another neighborhood erupt. thing enjoy thousands, not tens of thousands of people on the street blocking traffic. but in such an ex hoto explosion of jubilation. it was the 1st i've seen and many months in this country. clearly it's a sign that the pandemic had its hard lasting impact on this country. and thanks very much for the up the antimony, that force in right. let's take you back to our top story, where jordan's national security court has charge to former officials with masterminding, a criminal project to cause sedition, bus, and other walla and sharif hasn't been said were arrested for allegedly conspiring

against the king's half brother. prince hanser in april le, let's bring in august so often a man is chairman of non political think tank. obviously, 2 very large sentences of 15 years given to these 2 men influential and close to the royal court. yes, the court this morning should stand against the 2 defendants. they will charge for 15 years in prison, hard labor. and this is the highest maximum of the charges that they were charged with. of course, they show beyond what it is now because of the attempt by these 2 defendants to and now and the charge criminal has to stay below the country and they have conducted some purposeful work towards that end. and the,

thankfully, the state agencies, the agency is covered and the follow the all the lead in order to document all the actions taken by those. and there are other other breakers of course. so that was the pin that i just don't pin mr. brian for a moment because of the time that we're allocations that prints hums. i was the half brother of the current monarch, was also involved. his issues have been settled within the royal family. he's not been brought to court, he's been not, he's not even been asked to give evidence. even the lawyers for the defendants are criticizing. what's happened these last few weeks in this court trial? will these 2 individuals be able to appeal the sentence in any shape or form and the case will depend lovely on occasions. i'm not sure. there is a legal procedure that they can follow with the court,

but i think the charges that they were they received. they would bring up the faction to public opinion, which really nice to individuals. they have been especially about how the law has been subject for many populations about their wide range of issues, including financial and administrative corruption, payment system, nepotism and all that. and probably enjoyed in public opinion, which is what i do. basically i study for a company and i haven't even i figure out who was disliked among jordanians as we can all the law over the past 1520 years. ok. and they think that bring a great deal to public opinion without obviously very close to the royal family. and i say you deal more with sort of public opinion. public opinion can obviously not always be as accurate as not very close to the royal family. how close an

influence was i would de la and bins i eat to the royal family. what sort of suggestions or advice would they give? the royal family when it comes to the running of the country? well, basically that's all the law. while she better care of you sort of finance, minister planning roy and boy to the area and yes, so basically everything important position and jordan that he had over the past 20 years or so. and from an economy advisor to the, to court what's, what's in between also show you how he is a member of the, how shall i somebody a distant member of the family and the follow the levels of them and their work and the core in a way or another either directly or and, and i think this would bring the question why would such an individual especially

bus and do what they did? no one would.
