jacob's president term oppose us as the unrest to lead to food and medicine shortages and cuba. the president is blaming outside forces and us sanctions for provoking the biggest fancy government protest in 3 decades. on sunday, police track down on thousands of people holding for change in the capital have in france, a record number of people have booked appointments for cone. a virus vaccines of the president, the manual electron announced, new measure is aimed at convince, convincing skeptic to get themselves inoculated from next month. anyone who wants to go to restaurants, shopping centers, or travel on long distance trains, we'll have to show proof of vaccination or a negative cova test. natasha butler has more from paris. when a manual macro said the vaccination is the only way out of the health crisis, the message in his speech was pretty much the people in france need to go out and get vaccinated. now about 40 percent of the population have been immunized, but

a matter of micro says that is simply not enough to get out of this health emergency. so he announced a series of measures to encourage people to get vaccinated. one of them in fact, is going to be mandatory vaccinations for health workers who work with particular vulnerable people. say people who work in care homes for example or in hospitals will have to be vaccinated by september. that will be controlled and checks the macro to make sure that they are properly immunized. the government will also extend its so called a coven certificate, his national cove, its as if because if this is the, the application on people phones on a piece of paper that shows whether or not somebody has been vaccinated fully, or shows whether or not they have a negative p c altis that certificate will not be necessary for people to go to a restaurant to go to a ball to go to see it, or to go to a conference or even catch a train in france from august. so not strict measures. all designed this course to

try and curve of what we've seen over the past few weeks, and that is a rise in cobit nice in cases fuel a by the delta variant in micro macro, making it very clear that this variance is highly contagious. it's much easier to catch, it's much easier to pass on. and the health ministry and fraud just a few days ago said that if this fair and continues to circulate at the rate at which it is circulating in france, we could see as many as $20000.00 cases a day by august. that is something, of course, the government want to prevent and want to stop, and that is why man and micro, i say more structures needed, people need to be more vigilant. and as i said, his top line really is his message to the french people who really go and get fox native, a member of jordan's royal family. and the man who was once the king's top advisor have been sentenced to 15 years in prison on charges of attempting to destabilize the monarchy. the court says the pair wanted the king's half brother to take the

throne, javelin shout, reports. sentences in the case came after almost 3 months of secret hearings after danial state security court. when, when this bit in which it was regarding the 1st criminal bus and our dollar, the court has sentenced him to temporary imprisonment for a period of 15 years. with regard to the 2nd criminal sharif hassan been zaid. the court has sent it seemed to temporary imprisonment for a period of 15 years. the 2 men found guilty of plotting to sole discord and ultimately undermined the jordanian monarchy by some are the law and show you how some bins aid. i was a former minister who rose to become the head of jordan's royal courts, but he was not a popular figure among many jordanians who for long accused him of corruption and financial embezzlement. i will, the law is also said to be very close to saudi arabia, chrome principal from been said man and has been described as being an advisor to the saudi royal has called. defendant sheriff hasn't been said, is

a member of jordan's hash. my family, which has ruled the country for a 100 years, the case against the 2 men began in april when they were arrested by security forces. the following day, a video message from prince comes up a former air to the throne and half brother of the current king was a leak to the media. he said he'd been placed on the house arrest. skeptics say the case against our, the latin bins aid as a smokescreen and the, the government is using them escape goats to tarnish prince 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 destabilize the monarchy. especially after jordan's rejection of former us president donald trump's deal of the sentry. and the king's objection to gulf 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 intended actors who may have intentions to destabilize. jordan again that the the state is very strong to it and has been struggling economically for several years. a grown grace of unemployment and discontent has led to sporadic protest, during which prince holmes 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 governments, critics, as we're trying to convince, even so it's at trial by fcc even. so i think this is to be in game one time just to be out of the picture. there was so many, many being as forces. what time is it to be the region? but now i think it's even next to 0. this has arguably been the most controversial

case, enjoy them 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. the white house has issued a strong warning to china over its activities in the south china sea. this comes with hundreds of activists gathered in many lead to mark the 5th anniversary of a court ruling against china's territorial claims. jemina lean dog and reports. now from manila, the marching in defiance and making a statement in front of the chinese embassy in manila. these activists want to remind aging of what happened 5 years ago when it last in legal battle on the world stage. in 2012, the scarborough rashaw was forcibly seized by the chinese military prompting. then president ben ignore kino to file a keys at the international court in the hague. 4 years later, the tribe you know,

and validate the china, so called historical 9 dash gleam of most of the south china sea. a smaller country standing up to a superpower, was seen as unprecedented. as long as nations abide by the rule of law and not of military mind, the award is a north star through keep us on the course in the present. and that will point us back to the right direction in the future. should we in a moment of weakness or inaction, lose our weight. but the legal victory had little impact on china's behavior. in the past few years, china even increased its presence in areas controlled by the philippines and other countries with what are described as fishing militias. believe to be connected to the chinese army and it's also expanded, it's reclamation of islands and reefs already deemed illegal under international

law. all this is happening under the watch of philippine president rodrigo to 13, was not only undermined his own country legal link, but even called in amir scrap of paper. other countries repeatedly called in china seas. it's illegal incursions, but one of the strongest statements has come from the us secretary of state anthony, blinking. he warned china america would defend the philippines. should there be an armed attack against it's military, african, or even its public vessels? many say it was a david versus the live scenario that proved that rights is mice, but years later, a critics a president of legal that they're just squandered, that victory by refusing to enforce the ruling and even back pad. those on this campaign from is to fight for the countries right in the south china sea level in dog. and i'll just 0 manila the u. s. climate envoy, john kerry,

arctic ice. and as a signal to the 2015 paris climate accord. russia is yet to produce a plan to achieve net 0 emissions by 2050 for the u. s. this is the 1st test of president biden's hope of a reset of relations within 6 months. she just wasn't for the us, it's important now to find some common topics within the announced half a year period, during which it must be figured out if interaction with russia and its current administration is possible or not. that's why it's important that it stands upright example of washington's tactics, and that's relations with russia. so 2 of the world's top oil exporters and carbon images will make positive noises about transitioning to green economy. this will not likely be the forum for the fournier topics accusations of cyber attacks by russia relations with china. a display of common interests, but only by the narrowest of margins, are jona whole al jazeera. europe football champions have come home to

a rapturous welcome in the italian capital, ga kil, lini side. it became the 1st italian team in 53 years to win the european championship. they beat england in a dramatic penalty shootout in london's wembley stadium on sunday. many italian see the victory of the euros is an emotional turning point for a country that's been ravaged by the corona virus. they make. meanwhile, british police have opened an investigation into a torrent of racist abuse directed at 3 black players on england's national football team. the trio missed penalties against a lee at that final in london's wembley. the abuse has been condemned by leaders across the worlds of both politics and football. that the barber reports from london. in the aftermath of england's defeated wembley, the clean up some had predicted the tabloid price, often accused of racial stereotypes would be full of negative headlines. in fact,
