they suspect of shooting at them, searching for guns and other weapons. with the army on the street. these business owners say they feel safe to return to see what they've lost. they find their stores captured by looting and fires. this time i'm done, believe i'm 30 here in this country, but i believe we do that in other parts of the halting province. there's also been extensive looting doors at the small in deep cliff where so have been entirely ransacked. there's nothing left and soldiers that police have been deployed to places just like this to try and protect whatever little is left and also keep looters away. but preventing the looting in many areas in johannesburg has proven difficult and appears to be impossible to stop here. grocery stores a butcher shop, banks and atm completely destroyed. security guards say they try to keep looters

away as they waited for the police. but it was too late, smart, shabby, worked at this food outlet. now i'm english because where, what am i supposed to do for now? where am i going to get paid? where's my salary gonna come from? because this is my landlord. hi, my goodness about my family. because of this came enough that have been paging this place and the police were nowhere to be seen with why it's and the disruption of services in the halting and quote natal provinces. their concerns people will run out of food. they are many unhappy with the destruction. i don't know where my going to prices. i don't know, as you can see that this bed, and there is a situation. people are not waking, but this is not the solution. the protests that began after the jailing of

former president jacob zoom, i have no escalated to riots linked to increasing poverty and inequality. so of africa's banana varying stages of covert 19 locked down for more than a year. worsening unemployment already at 52 percent has field anger and resentment as a government that is struggling to cope for me. the miller, al jazeera johannesburg in now south korea just report that its highest daily infection counts since the pandemic began restrictions in the capital. so now at the highest level so far, where rob mcbride joins us live now from so i rob. so south korea is now facing even tougher restrictions nationwide. what is all of this mean on the ground? that's right here in the greatest sol metropolitan area. this is home to around half of south korea population. we've been under the most stringent measures since

the start of this week. but this is where most of the new cases are occurring. but there is increasing concern about what's going on out in the provinces with reports of new daily infections, more than doubling recently. and there's a real concern that as we get further into the summer holiday season, south koreans this summer, as they did last summer by and large, can't be taking that vacations overseas. so they tend to head for all of the coastal resorts on the east coast. the south coast, the island of gedge you, all of these a tourism destination is become very busy and there's a real concern that unless the government puts these greater restrictions in place across south korea, we're going to see more clusters in those areas. and the government believes that if they take action now this the latest 4th wave will peak in about one to 2 weeks . but by that stage, we might actually be seeing daily infections get more than 2000 per day,

which is high by south korean standards. yet robin south, south korea's back summation and program seems to have slowed right down just of the demand for jobs is now at an all time high. so that's right. this is being the subject of an awful lot of public criticism. the vaccination program, the government has been accused of being overly cautious, if not planning to get enough people vaccinated quickly enough. and it was always known that because of the supplies of vaccines coming in different batches, that july actually would be a lead time. and that's what we are seeing now. there is a shortage of vaccines around the government believes that from august onwards, the increased number of shipments are going to alleviate that is more vaccines become available. that was also concerned at the start of the program. there was some reticence about side effects that seem to have been replaced now by the more widespread concern about this 4th wave and about the ad delta barrier. so we are

seeing an increase in demands. and just as an example of that, this week, the vaccines are being rolled out to the latest target group. it's the 55 to 59 year old. as soon as the website we became active and people could apply to get the job of several 1000000 people who can apply around about 800000 of them. at one stage, we're all online trying to register for their 1st injection. alright, or run mcbride life in. so rob, thank you. on a lockdown in australia's biggest city that was due to end on friday has been extended by at least 2 weeks. sydney struggling to contain an outbreak of a highly contagious delta. various $97.00 new cases were reported in the past 24 hours under restrictions imposed last month. residents are only allowed to leave home for exercise, essential shopping or work and other months of declining infections cases on the rise in the united states. the search is being driven by the delta variant and slamming vaccination rates. my kind of has more from washington

d. c. the infection rate has now doubled within the last 3 weeks today. there were some 23000 new cases reported as opposed to roughly 11000 on june the 23rd. there are a few reasons for this. firstly, delta barian has created a massive problem within the united states as it has in other countries. but what you've also had in between 2 is the july, the full holiday weekend, where they were large numbers of gatherings. so these are coming together to create this as flare up in infection rates within the united states. on the brighter side, perhaps, deaths are running at about $250.00 a day. to put this into a context, they were running it around 3 and a half 1000 a day earlier in the winter. so clearly the vaccination has a massive impact in terms of restricting the number of this, even of those who contract the virus. but what is the problematic to is the

discrepancy, the geographical discrepancy within the united states? nationally, some 55 percent of americans have had at least one shot to the vaccine. but then there are a number of states that are very low vectors and rates such as mississippi, which is under 40 percent higher nevada. these are all states where the vaccine rates are incredibly low. and it is no coincidence that the rate of infection is much higher in those states than in others. meanwhile, germany says that it has no plans to make her own a virus vaccines, compulsory, but it will do it can to encourage people to get the job. chancellor angler merkel has warned that more people need to be vaccinated before the current restrictions can be lifted. 43 percent of the population is fully inoculated. but the pace of vaccination slowed in recent weeks. ado ish, i don't think that we would gain trust by changing tactics and introducing vaccination as

a compulsory measure. but i do think that we can gain trust by promoting vaccination. we also need to turn as many people as possible into promoters and messengers of vaccination, but still we have potential there. and we want to exploit that. the death toll from a fire that read through covered 900 isolation ward in the rocky city of nasiriyah has risen to 90 to the prime minister's promising accountability. it's the 2nd time in 3 months. the fire has torn through a hospital in iraq with the one had reports now from nasiriyah. angry and in morning heroic his betty the loved ones. the victims of the fire were mostly receiving treatment for covert 19 of the burned outward relatives arrived to help search for remains under the debris. they say the lack of safety equipment and an evacuation plan made the resistor worse than it normally at it. this is the

result of come up, provide james, if it hadn't been for these young volunteers, him, many more people would have died were holding the government in the health direct of the probing responsible for this crime. forensic doctors say 5 members of one family are among the victims, with many of the dead too badly burned to be identifiable by relatives outside the morgue. most of us waited with others hoping for news about his mother. he says he couldn't identify her among other victims. i've been searching for her since yesterday. where shall i go now? when the fire broke out, we tried to break the door down to rescue her and the other patient. but it was too late. according to medical sources, the fire started when an oxygen tank used for treating cool patient sick, secluded lay mobile materials used in the construction of the walls of this center, including foam,

help fuel the fire. the victims died from both burns and suffocation. this is the 2nd, the blaze at 19 unit in an iraqi hospital in 3 months. in april, a fire killed 82 cove with patients at the hospital in baghdad. the health sector in iraq has been hit by years of case and mismanagement. it seems there is little hope of the situation improving anytime soon, and it's the patients who are paying the price that were had al jazeera in maria, city, southern iraq, to a personal break here. and i just want to become back. this is a test of our time. we think, yes, president joe biden wade's into the drama of a voting restrictions being pushed by republicans on the challenge of uniting to former rival armies on the one unified force in south for them more nor stay with

at least 14 republican controlled states have enacted laws the restrict voting access. they say the measures combat widespread voter fraud. they claim was prevalent in 2020. texas is the latest thing to restrict voting. texas democrats fled to washington d. c. to stop a vote on a proposed law that they say would make it harder to cast a ballot measures. biden is under pressure to stop. you make commitment said you're going to do this or do that. i think commit to that, followed through that's the most important part. following give us this person. people are right to say you can vote a certain you cannot do it. if you cannot go out, it's not like it's been proven, is making it work. we should be adding to, to make it better, make it easier, open, more full, more location, make it easier for l and not trying to tell your hand in blindfolding to do both that make it worse. that's like going back to, i want to say flavors biden's urging congress to pass to federal measures to do
