police in south africa are preparing for more unrest after days of rights and losing at least $72.00 people have been killed in the protests, which have grown into a wider show of anger against poverty and inequality. protest for initially triggered by the imprisonment of jacob boomer foundation, says there'll be no peace it until he is released from jail. security for hills are urging people to felt the rising of concerns growing over the supply of food and fuel. to meet a bill is in handbook, she says the deployment of police just called the violence and some places been put through natal with us. unrest began, we continued to see looting as well as a number of businesses and warehouses, set a light overnight and those fires continue to rage. and i think the major concern aside from wiring around the worry around continue, ryan continuing rise is to be economic impact,

which we beginning to see. we know that the largest refinery in south africa, oil refinery, has said that it will suspend operations for the time being simply because it can't get in the materials. it needs to continue operating. and this is also due to some of the, the unrest that we've seen the last few days and that's dozens of products have been set a light, major highways have been blocked and we're also hearing of from the train operator . the rail operates in south africa that they potentially could be impacted by this the port city of the supplies of goods to the rest of the south africa. it's the largest port in africa and also potentially then supports neighboring countries. and they all concerns around the delivery of goods to areas like halting and inland provinces, but potentially even south africa's neighbors. and the concern really has around things like pharmaceutical materials, especially during

a covert 19 pan. they make food and water and that's increasingly the concern is just how the rest of the country all of the country will cope given that the important point of course through natal has been so severely impacted by the riots that continue and tens of thousands of radians have been stock overseas throughout the pandemic, and the government is tightening meshes even further. number of citizens and residents who are allowed to return has been cut in half down to 3000 a week. australia, the vaccine rollout has been slow and that continues to pursue a strategy of their own transmission. australia has restricted entry of its own citizens in a way that know while the democratic nation has, according to human rights watch, citizens, residents and their families overseas have been effective. they locked out. these policies. south korea just reported its highest daily infection rate. since the pandemic began pumping new restrictions in the capital, so night clubs, churches,

and gatherings of more than 3 people will now be banned. in 1600 people test positive because with 19 in the past day there was robert bribes has been 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. i am more than doubling recently. and 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 has more vaccines become available. there was also concerned at the start of the program. there was

some reticence about side effects that seems to have been replaced now by the more widespread concern about this 4th wave and about the ad delta very. and so we are seeing an increase in demand. and just as an example of that, this week, the vaccines are being rolled down 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, that is 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. indonesia is also in the grip of a was sending outbreaks with a record of nearly 48000 new infections reported on tuesday. people are still having problems, getting oxygen and medication is hard to come by. and you cases also being claimed on the delta variance. the after months of declining infections, cases are on the rise in the united states. search is also being driven by the

delta very there and flowing vaccination rates. why kind of has more from washington dc. the infection rate has now doubled within the last 3 weeks today, there was 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 there 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 at 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 depth 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. rockies are burying their relative while the death toll from a fire that ripped through covered 900 isolation world. and the city of the city has risen to $92.00. the foreign minister is promising accountability. the people a blaming government corruption for the accident. 13 officials have been arrested in connection with the late 82 people were killed in fact that in a similar hospital fire and april, almost above
