the president has blamed on us your damien court jails, a former adviser to the king and the member of the royal family for 15 years over the ledge. the coop law is italy. welcome home. if you're 2020 champion, the england players who miss penalties are subjected to races of ah, at least 6 people have been killed and almost 500 of rested in violent protests, triggered by the jailing of former south african president jacob's ruler. the military has been deployed after days of riots and looting in the provinces of cause, you know, and how pain south africa top court is hearing an application via the lead to review his 15 months jail sentence turned themselves into police last week. after

being found guilty of failing to appear at a corruption inquiry, zuba and his supporters say that they are victims of a politically motivated crack down by the current president city. and i'm a poser. well, in the last our room oppose the has addressed the nation and warned that the country may face food and the medicine shortages. and the next few weeks, he also said the countries, corona, virus vaccination program, will be disrupted the due to the looting. and the protests, although these may be opportunistic x of looting, driven by hardship and poverty. the poor and the marginalized bad that are to made branch of the destruction that is currently underway. as i said, shops have been looted an infrastructure has been destroyed. this means that our sick cannot get medication from pharmacies. food

does not reach supermarket shelves and health workers cannot go to work. it's good morning for for me. the miller, who joins us alive from johannesburg for me. what else did it have to say? at the beginning of his address, barbara, the president describe these events in the last few days as violence really seen since the beginning of democracy. and i think this is what has shocked both the government and many south africans. they had always been a warning by supporters of former president, jacob's new mother. should he be arrested, they is going to be a reaction. they wouldn't accept his arrest. in fact, they had said they would prevent it. still that happened about almost a week ago and he and the president is now in prison in was willing to tell. and now what we see, at least initially is

a response to that imprisonment people demanding that he be released. but as we've also heard from president, still room of course, is that this has now degenerated into act of violence and looting. which he says is opportunistic criminality. which is often or prove from the government in times of violence and any sort of violence difficulty that the government is confronted by. but it is also many months into a coven, 19 lockdown. in fact, in the last 2 weeks of africa returned to level 4, which is also minimized. the minimize the amount that people can travel outside of their home essentially only essentially what essential workers outside of their homes. we already have a 32 percent unemployment rate and the siri around opportunistic criminality

does have mirrored in terms of the difficulties people i experiencing in south africa. many have lost their jobs. many a struggling to find jobs in fact prevented from doing that by those locked down. and so this is a difficult period for south africa. we, the government is not only dealing with this political cool regarding the imprisonment of jacob's una zoom up, but also the reality of escalating unemployment and dissatisfaction with the government and how it's handling the code with 19 challenge it. so it mean apart from the political side, when it comes to what's actually happening on the streets after we've seen days of riots and losing, what's the situation now? what have you seen happen today? through much of the day we were in the south of johannesburg in so where to where a number of moves shopping they're stopping centers were being looted. and i think what was astounding was watching police stand back when we spoke to

a couple of police officers. one told us, well, what can we do? and another said, there simply aren't enough police officers available. they were all engaged across the province of halting and this is the major difficulty for the government and authorities. and that's why the army is now being deploy too hot spots. we didn't see any soldiers in, so we're so specifically, but reports indicate that they have been deployed to another township, alexandra in johannesburg. but they has already been significant criticism. if we look back at the call, the 19 lockdown, the army was deployed about a year ago and then to the government st. a faith criticism in that soldiers are necessarily trained to deal with people on the streets. and there were a number of people killed. critics say because of the heavy hand of the soldiers, and this is their concern,

this time. but the situation really is escalating and that police just don't have a grip on what's happening. and that really is the major concern. we saw these protest beginning quite natal within about 24 to 48 hours. they sprayed to halting reports coming in that these protests are also taking place or at least looting in other provinces like palmer longer and popo. and that is the worry how quickly they have spread and the extent and it may be a minority in terms of the pop population. it may be pockets, it may be sporadic, but it's having a massive impact in terms of the far reaching consequences. it's impacting the economy. the rand has, has weakened to the lowest speed in about 2 months massive. when these big companies in this country have closed, we've seen rail and bus services suspended. and as the president indicated earlier, we're also seeing the coven 19 vaccination. dr. suspended in specific areas,

emergency operations can't be accessed by particular areas, and this is the kind of impact that we're seeing. and that really is the major worry in terms of what will happen next and how long these protests will continue. and then in the, with the latest on that from johannesburg, for me to thank you. the, the cuba, the president is blaming outside forces and us sanctions for provoking the biggest and government protests in 3 decades. on sunday, police cracked down on thousands of people holding for change in the capital havana . there were similar demonstrations around the country. people are angry at the government's handling of the crone of ours and make and the worst economic crisis in decades. low frequency i mean took on the full years he read the lack of finance for governance is due to the aggressive policy of blockade and financial

prosecution by the us being maintained by the government. and we have not been able to maintain and fix the power supply planning and it had the president biden says, the us stands by the cuban people and as urgent the government to listen to people's grievances, white house press, secretary gen sac, he dismissed the cuban foreign ministers accusation, that the u. s. finance the mercenaries to form and the unrest. there's every indication that yesterday's protests were spontaneous. expressions of people who are exhausted with the cuban government, economic mismanagement, and repression. and those, these are protest inspired by the harsh reality of everyday life. in cuba, not people in another country cross live now to have i la and speak to read lindsey, a journalist with a belly of the beast, which is an independent to me, the organisation covering us cuba relations. so tell us

a little bit about the reaction. they are in a queue, but to this accusation, is it shared you think by ordinary people that it's outside outside influences? well, i think a lot of people, certainly people protesting against the government would say that it's not. i think some people support the government say it is i think maybe the, the bigger point is what the, the saki was saying and spokespersons for the us government. and they're, they're there because of the economic situation, which is actually devastating. the one part that she left out there is the fact that the u. s. government is responsible to a large degree for the economic crisis in cuba, even before covert had the economic situation in cuba was dire due to the rise of sanctions that were, that was imposed by the ministration that was on top of us embargo. it's been

around for 60 years, so the economy was reeling before cobra was co. it had it just. busy it spiraled into an even worse situation, to the point where there are scarcity for food medicine. it's been going on a long time. people are just, they're frustrated. they're, they're, they're, they're angry. a lot of that anger is being directed at the cuban government. but there's really no question that the u. s. government u. s. and they had a tremendous impact on the economic crisis. here. as we've been mentioning, this is the worst economic crisis that cuba has faced in decades in the fall of the soviet union. in realistic terms, as ordinary people going about their lives, what kind of price increases, for example, are they facing well, it a little bit confusing because in the midst of this, cuba has unified its currency. so a lot of prices have been all over the place and it's very difficult to compare them, at least in absolute terms,

to what it was previously for. you see on the street. they're alive, they're always lines in cuba. but there are long lines and it can take hours and hours just to buy detergents, for example, or to buy chicken or the basic supply things in the past were never scarce, like sugar or, or that was, you know, you can get more or less obtain like coffee, those things are, those items would be very, very r station scare. so it's pretty much everything is scarce. and in recent months, medicine q a producer, most of the medicine consume in the country because of the embargo. they have had to become self sufficient in that regards but, but because of the intensification and thanks is q, been unable to import raw material and so that their national production of medicine has been his heart, including the vaccine. one other 2 vac scenes which are among the top 5 in the world and efficacy. the production was delayed for significant period of time because they could not import raw materials needed to make them action. and

according to the government that was because of the u. s. embargo, so cubans are facing scarcity of almost everything. and that, that, that's, that is in large part what has been driving the protests. lindsay read a thank you very much for that. speaking to us from havana. let's go to kimberly how kit now, who is our white house correspondent to and that joins us from washington. so, president biden saying that the u. s. stands by the cuban people urging the government to listen to people's grievances. what else did the press secretary jen psyche say and her address? well, it's more of what she didn't say that was really notable when she was repeatedly pressed in. the white house briefing about why this administration continues to keep from place of harsh economic sanctions that were put in place by the trumpet, ministration. if the president truly does stand with the people of cuba,

because repeatedly what the people of cuba have been saying is that these policies put in place are hurting us. and so with the stroke of a pen, the us president does have the power to change things that improve things and appears to be refusing to do so. and so repeatedly reporters asked the white house press secretary about this. she insisted that humanitarian assistance has been provided, but the reason for the protest is not economic, but instead about the type of governance and mismanagement, seeming to miss the point of the protest or refusing to acknowledge the reality that people are expressing. and it is notable, but not only has this white house gone out of its way to undo trump policies. in fact, that's the very 1st thing that the biden administration did when president biden came in. but we saw recently at the united nations,

there was an effort of resolution to condemn the 60 year embargo against cuba. and there were $1884.00 countries that supported condemning the this embargo and only washington, the israel were against this action. and it really speaks to where the biden administration is on this. it has repeatedly said that the american back that it wants to stand with the international community, but it certainly didn't there. and it's certainly not doing anything, even though it has the power to alleviate some of this economic pain impact, the white house press secretary with great pains to distance these policies, arguing that they are standing with the people of cuba, even though their policies seem to do otherwise, i'm pretty happy with the latest from the white house. kimberly thank you. so the come in this half hour surgeon cobit cases, driven by the delta vary and spark new lock downs in asia. but it's not stopping

the u. k. from or forging ahead with lifting it. corona, virus, frustration, ah, hallow, they're, the heat continues to dominate the weather across europe. we've got heat waves, not just in the northeast, but also in the south west. we seen temperatures climb in spain, they've got a heat wave on there at the moment. people cooling off in the cities fountains and it's a similar story for western russia. we've seen temperatures climb about 10 degrees above average in moscow. they've had to try to cool down the streets using water trucks. the heat continued the heat warnings in spain on tuesday. it's leasing the heat continue to build as a turkey and greece, the bow concerning temperatures continue to rise. and this is in the story for western parts of russia. finland got an excessive heat wave as has latvia,

and you get the picture here, hot and dry, continuing in the east, but to the west. we've got wet weather on the way or continuing for the british child's. there will be some sunshine breaking through those showers, but france is still seeing some really wet and windy weather. and as we go into wednesday, it will be switzerland in germany. that will see the really torrential downpours we could see flooding in the have been some warnings out before the south of this things are looking hot and dry and it's a similar story across the north of africa. the heat continuing to build in egypt with 39 degrees in cairo. the when a war crime is committed, who is it going to go? how does he follows a garden human rights investigator on his unprecedented journey to the french high court? i says, every place to make sure that that ought to bring its context,

taking on the arms trade in his fight for justice, for innocent palestinians, and their families made in france on all disease. ah, ah ah ah, come back. he has a reminder of the top stories on al jazeera, south africa. the military has been deployed after at least 6 people were killed and almost 500 arrested. during the violent protests that triggered by the training of former leader jacob's human president term oppose that has warned that the looting and riots could lead to food and medicine shortages in the cuba. the

sums, or who has been a scathing critic of how jordan has been run in recent years. but the current can lead none for saying, and his supporters say jordan's been the target of a foreign plot by regional powers to the stabilize the monarchy. especially after jordans rejection of former us president donald trump's deal of the country. and the kings objection to golf countries normalizing of relations with israel. of course, the political ramifications of this are many the most important when it's a message to the external actors, as well as the internal actors who may have intentions to destabilize. jordan again that the state is very strong. jordan has been struggling economically for several years, a growth rate of unemployment. and this consent has led just periodic protest, during which prince hans his name was sometimes taunted by demonstrators who saw him as a symbol of reform. and although the prince has not been put on trial,

some believe monday sentencing is a clear message to government critics. it's obvious that they were trying to convince, even so it's a child by fcc even. so i think this is the end game. they want to be out of the picture. there's so many, many unions, for instance, what time is it to be the region. but now i think i, even next or 0. this has arguably been the most controversial case in jordan for decades. and although a verdict has been issued, the defendants can still appeal. and the other court that's of public opinion is still to give its verdict dramatic shea yal, jesse era. we the world health organization says the highly contagious delta variant is becoming dominant and driving the new spike and over deaths and infections around the world

and you remove them whenever you're in a sustained done where the trajectory we seem to be doing the opposite. and the public is divided. going to be good for the whole contra came. yeah, i really, i think people need a bit of a morale list. we've been in lockdown for a long time. i believe they are just thinking about the economy. and i think we're going to end up in another lockdown again. the u. k. has suffered one of the highest death pills over 90 monday, recorded 34000 new infections. but the government says a successful rollout of the vaccine has broken the links in cases and hospitalizations. scientists say maybe the week, scrapping all restrictions in the face of rising infection rate is a gamble, but the government is caught between a rock and a hard place if it delays. it could potentially persia 3rd way further down the line. hitting in winter when the health services already on the seasonal strain, but the risks of many people now developing long cove. it a real, this is brittany,

the public will be as well because they will appreciate how well they've played because in particular it's been an absolute star in this tournament. british prime minister bar is johnson and he's home secretary, pretty patel. have also condemned the abuse for those who have been directing racist abuse that some of the players. i said shame on you. and i hope you will crawl back under the rock from which youth emerged. but anti discrimination campaigners inside and outside the football world have accused them of hypocrisy. patel had criticized in getting players for taking the knee and anti racism gesture and johnson had defended fans who booed the team for doing so. people remember that it's all debatable that you don't have to take the knee because the prime minister government don't agree with it. and so therefore, you know, some our them lines that also gives them some kind of freedom to be abusive when it comes to black plays. in particular, with a clean up
