crisis around the world even worse. and a court in jordan sentences to men, including a member of the royal family of 15 years in prison for a plot against the monarchy. ah, the top story, the jailing of south africa's former president jacob zimmer, has triggered violent protests, killing at least 6 people with more than 2 hundreds arrested. the military has been deployed after days of riots and looting in the provinces of castillo natal and guarding south africa. the top court is hearing an application from summa to review his 15 month jail sentence. he turned himself into the police last week. after being found guilty of failing to appear at a corruption case to meet a miller has more now from the waiter. wherein so where, so where we were at

a more few moments ago and we had to move from there because of the rocks being thrown. police had to retreat, they just simply don't have enough resources to get a handle on what's happening. thousands of lucas were at that particular mall carrying out anything they could possibly. we where we've moved to just down the street is another more where there is some are looting taking place. we've had police the fire rubber bullets. we've also had tear gas fired. it is extremely dangerous situation. it at much of these hot spots in halting as well as the consumer natal province, where the concern really is the extent of the looting that we're seeing that appears to have stem from these protests against the imprisonment of former president jacob's duma. but we've also heard from analysts and observers that this could be optimistic crime and that people are taking advantage of some of the

protests that we're seeing. but i think what is specifically concerning is the difficulty police are having and trying to manage what's happening. and so we've had the deployment of soldiers to various hot spots specifically in those 2 provinces. now, the cuban president is blaming outside forces and us sanctions for provoking the biggest anti government protests in 3 decades. the white house in washington, as it's the government to respect people's rights to demonstrate the police cracked down on thousands of people calling for change in the capital havana. they have been similar demonstrations around the country. people are angry of the government handling of the corona virus pandemic, and the worst economic crisis in decades. low frequency, i mean to get on the phone you will receive the lack of finance for governance is due to the aggressive policy of blockade and financial persecution by the us being maintained by the government. and we have not been able to maintain and fix the power supply planning and ok. let's look now was driven this protest movements is

the biggest display of public discontent, since at least the money cannot so uprising back in 94, which resulted in a mass exodus of people. cuba is experiencing its worst economic crisis in decades last year. the economy contracts by 11 percent. that's partly because of us sanctions imposed by the from the administration. from november 2017. they targeted businesses, but they also prevented people working abroad from sending money back home to cuba . in january the island said the restrictions cost it about $20000000000.00. it's been made worse by the corona, virus pandemic, affecting tourism, a bigger burner for the cuban economy. and there are shortages of medicines, beds and doctors to deal with rising cases of cupboard 19 read. lindsey's a journalist in havana with the belly of the beast and independent media organisation that covers the relationship between the u. s. and cuba explains not why the government hasn't sold the crisis. the canal the president few spoke today

. and he, i don't think there's much he can do to address the issues there. the government really has its hands tied with sanctions and the impact call that he did address the problems and talked about them. for example, explain that a lot of the blackouts were occurring because increased demand for, for energy in the summer. but said at the thermal electric plants, they couldn't get repair parts because they need to import those new block it and prevent the embargo preventing them from doing self. there's also been an oil blockade against cuba close by the united states under the trump administration, which continues and makes it very difficult for cuba to obtain oil. here, he mentioned, for example, the the, the production of medicine humor produces most of its medicine. it also has 2 of the top 5 vaccine in the world as far as advocacy, that it has a very strong biotech sector, but at so, but on a vaccine, for example,

was the late the production was delayed because they were not able to obtain the raw materials needed to, to make that succeed. and he also addressed the issue of the foreign currency stores to both create these foreign currency stores. but you can't use cubic pesos, but to come in, you need to have dollars a girls purchasing very unpopular population. one of the, one of the things mentioned among protesters is something that very angry about. and you have to now agree that was not desirable, not something they wanted to do. but they were forced to do it because the embargo was basically corralled them and made it extremely difficult to obtain foreign currency. england says it will go ahead with plans to live near the old corona virus restrictions in a week. the prime minister, paris johnson says it's the right time to do it, but he's wanting caution. he's urging people to get vaccinated and says businesses will apply new guidelines to control the spread of covered 19. there are concerns

about the highly contagious delta variance, which is the dominant strain driving you infections in the u. k. it is absolutely vital that we proceed now with caution. and i cannot say this possibly already, emphatically enough. this pandemic is not over this disease. the credit of virus continues to carry risks for you and your family . we cannot simply revert instantly from monday. the 19th of july to life as it was before cape it. well, the global pandemic is partly to blame for dramatic increase in the number of people going hungry around the world. the united nations has revealed the scale of the crisis in and you report, it says 811000000 people are malnourished. that's one in 10 around the globe mohammed vow has more 25 year old. that is

of this magnitude. right now we take charge of children with cases of severe and moderate nutrition that we also treat other diseases, mostly malaria, intestinal piracy, and diarrhea. but a gasket is experiencing the worst drought in 40 years. agencies warned that more than a 1000000 people here are facing severe food shortages. but it's just one of many countries with the same difficulties that you report reveals. a dramatic worsening of the food security situation in 2020. the number of mountain in the world continues to rise. a 118000000 more people were facing hunger, one and 2019 moderate or severe food insecurity has been claiming slowly for 6 years and now affects almost a 3rd of the world's population. africa is hardest hit, followed by latin america. report says cofi 19 has had an effect,

awful sentiment that is express here. it's not as expressed is often perhaps because it's just not as diverse of a team and none of the teams are quite diverse is the one and the premier division in england. what we are seeing here, of course, is much more celebration. that's the story here in italy, the national team returned this morning, bearing its trophy. there been crowds of people out, some of the crowds that were all night never went home, was the 1st kind of communal celebration here in italy. since the pandemic started the wayne at least a little here, of course, they're suffering picks in some parts with the delta v like other countries. but it is this pivotal moment where people rallied around the team, the celebrations in the streets. they went on all through the night. we saw roam, explode with tens of thousands of revellers in the piazza. we were up here to the next year. what are our tell reports to deem is seeing in london is a little different and he can tell us what's the story there and beyond the clear
