some of those showers there, but not as heavy as we're seeing across central parts of africa as we move across to the horn of africa. we've got thunderstorms rumbling across the open rift valley, stretching into south sedan. and it's the central african republic. that's going to see the heavier showers on thursday, but by fridays, the gulf of guinea where we've seen those storms develop, nigeria and cameroon, expecting to see some very wet weather. and we could see flooding him. but further south things are looking slightly cooler than we expect to see them for this time of year. temperatures are slightly below average, but swanner in namibia and bob, we've got some rain on the horizon for southern areas of in barbara. and for south africa, it's a very fair and dry picture. temperatures have picked up with lots of sunshine coming through the cape town this weekend. the mineral central to the quest for clean energy. a key ingredient for the production

of electric car batteries, cobalt extracting this dangerous profitable with global demand set the skyrocket. people in power investigates, claims that industrial mines contracting the precious material needed for cleaner energy, are in fact, poisoning the environment with dire health consequences. so those living in their shadow, the cost of coal, both people in power on it just means as it breaks. agriculture production across the north, nigeria, greens, a serial production in steep decline with detailed coverage that demands and not you've been made. and you know, many times before now that allowed a death because they say that situation is much worse from around the world than these external facebook systems is the government is following the process in the case and that authorities act against violations of law. ah,

the me watching the news out a reminder of our top story so far today. unrest in south africa is continuing for a 6th day. the president's civil rama post this and he's looking at sending more troops into quo the violence of the substitute people have been killed and riots in the last few days. respond by the jailing of the former president, jacob's zoom up. but since growing into anger about poverty and inequality, the afghan taliban says and seized control of the spin bolduc, a border crossing with pakistan. but the afghan government is denying the claims says, forces repelled faces. let's get the view on that developing story from

pakistan correspond to come, hider is in pish, our, come out. welcome back to the news. how significant is the fact that they are claiming to have taken this border crossing very significant. indeed, if you're looking to have one us on, it's a line log country that depends on neighboring country for all kinds of applied, essential commodity. and i've got not to mention the fact that for that was also a lifeline for nate or in us correlation. fortunate enough waters on now, it is important to know that the dollar bond 1st concentrated on taking the board across, staying where it gets on the rainfall. the border crossing where the minutes dawn and it's richard the border already drawn off. god, now claiming. and they have relief radio for days from the fighting last night. read last day. men end up, but dodge of greenville dark town, richard,

bordering down. i know for a thing that dollar bond flag that address because usually it's significant because all the revenue from their transport of cargo that's collected at the border board . and the dollar bond will take that one day. they also say that they have that they have that in fact, they've taken into custody of about an army. and it's been bought and said there formerly in control and this particular region of the region bordering this border crossing. can all, this is also a pinch point for the drug trade and there are people in the region who make an awful lot of money off of that. so that's kind of an added component. yeah. well as far as you're right, there has been a lot of drug smuggling, but more of that drug smuggling into bought. i need to know. i believe it's through

the radian border that did the garden during the day you just on the drug dealers. that dollar bought enough, gosh, will be game for to ensure that did the cross bar ration from their site once they've consolidated that data already, it will be important to read that will have an effect on the smuggling route. but right now, while you're on is indeed what it is, because any configuration in one is done related to expel over the effect on target . on given the fact that there are already 3000000 refugees from one it's on in buckets on and focused on beard that there may be another exit from of water sondra refugee sporting across the board of tunnel. thank you very much kind of to the correspondence in the shower in

infections in the netherlands of sword by 500 percent in one week. more than 50000 people have now tested positive politicians are holding an emergency debate in parliament to discuss the government handling of the pandemic. the prime minister, my router, has apologized for ending almost all locked on restrictions, which you described as quotes, an error in judgment that the vast joyce's life from amsterdam step, what do they feel they can do now? well there is a lot of anger, of course, about this explosion of infractions. and one of the parliament members actually called the criminal and ethical, the prime minister has apologized on monday. but there are a lot of questions about how could this be a wrong judgment. one particular policy by the government has been happily criticized, which was called dancing with johnson. it's in dutch, it's something johnson, which rhymes. and it was

a policy to attract young people to get vaccinated. sort of government organize, pick vaccination events with di chase, music. and i asked young people to get back to me than they could go clubbing and partnering straight after. so instead of waiting for 2 weeks before the vaccine would take its, its work, do its work. they ask that they told young people, it's completely safe to go clubbing, and that's exactly where everything went wrong. thousands of young people between the ages of 18 to 25 got infected at the moment. there are 550000 already. if in fact that and then also leads to lots of places now being close because simply they can't find any people to work. a lot of people are sitting at home, they're quarantine. so the government is under a lot of pressure to solve this mistake. and also to keep apologizing to these young people and also their families because it's doesn't show in the hospitals right now. but of course, there's a lot of concern that these infections will spread to other people in the society

who have not been vaccinated yet. if people are self isolating, does that mean that a lockdown, a national lockdown is just around the corner, while the government will do everything to prevent not a lockdown? so that's also not part of the debate right now. they immediately canceled all these festivals that were actually up and running. again. preparations were made a big festival was also have last weekend, thousands of infections there. so now they have cancelled all these festivals and big events until august 14, they actually also have a bullet wearing a mouth mask in lots of places. there's no mouse mouse at all anymore. the minister of justice actually made it ironic song saying farewell to the mouse mark. he has also been happily criticized in parliament for doing that. so there's a lot of pressure on the government, but it doesn't seem that parliament wants some political consequences of this, but they want a government to have

a proper strategy and not to repeat this mistake again. step many things, step in that johnny's life from the netherlands, mean mas reporting a record number of cobit 19 deaths. 145 people have died in 24 hours with more than 7000 new infections. experts say testing rates are low and the true figure is likely to be much higher. the country is facing a serious oxygen shortage. people having queuing overnight for refills, risking a rest for staying out past the curfew, imposed by the military. johnson and jonathan, there is no way my sister would have died if we had enough oxygen, but we were trying to buy oxygen with double prices, but we couldn't get any, even though we have oxygen cylinders, we couldn't manage to get them refilled in time. i was told with the military governments health care system response and handling of covered 19 is so wrong, it's getting worse and there's no hope. it's 4 to 5 times the number of deaths

during the 1st. and 2nd, waves of covered 19 me and my health care system has been in chaos since the military queue on february, the 1st on top of covered 19 violence against protested pressure on hospitals. 90 percent of medical staff are officially on strike. the military has targeted health care workers and it's cracked down on protest. dozens of doctors have been arrested and clinics have been rated people who get sick, say we have no trust in the military run clinics, and they prefer to stay at home from striking doctors. have been helping patients in secret before the coo, me and mom had started a vaccination campaign that's all but stops now with less than 4 percent of people getting one dose of a vaccine. let's bring in sondra, mom. she's a senior research program coordinator with the center for public health and human rights at the johns hopkins bloomberg school, the public health. she joins us now on skype, from baltimore, maryland, san ramon, welcome throughout his era. give us

a sense of what the medical slash cove it picture is in me in law right now. thanks for having me peter. the medical picture is very bleak. currently there is a lot of panic within society. and while the military junta is accusing a lot of civilians for hoarding oxygen and met shortage and inciting, more panic, we have to come to terms with the fact that this panic in this environment was sold by the military. and if you have a ramification of the mistrust that they established over the last few months since the qu, other, any supplies, as you're talking to us, we're watching people unloading canisters of oxygen. are there any supplies getting into the country? and if there are, can the people feel that they can trust the people they're going to to get those supplies of oxygen? because if you're breaking the curfew and risking the rest because you don't want to suffocate to death, literally because that's in effect what,

what cobra does to the, the lungs. if you're taking that as a course of action because you feel you don't have any other choice, right, for sure. and right now, you know, a lot of people, even if they are not afraid of going to want to affiliated facilities, health facilities. there is still an unfortunate sort of lack of faith in the fact that they would be able to receive timely and care there. so that's compounding upon the panic and the desperation that's widespread in in miramar right now. and to your question about supplies, as far as i know, private hospitals and some health facilities are still able to import supplies. there are rumors of blockages and import bands are being initiated, but there is no confirmation of that so far. but that said, for those who are speaking supplies, there's a lot of sort of mutual networks and community based networks that are being

leveraged to access supply is unfortunately not through the government. and so when you use the word leverage, the speciality is public health combined with human rights. are we explicitly saying here that the military jointer is using the leverage of cobit 19 striking medical workers and their attitude towards medical workers who've been at the leading edge of voicing the criticisms? they've gone on protest before they went on strike as well. we've seen that since february, the 1st they've been in the leading edge of the n. c june to movement. always saying that the job to deliberately manipulating this kind of manna from heaven scenario that they've, that has fallen into their laps for the think of not fear mongering. and this is whereas come of my human right comes in this, well i did not want to incite more fear within society. so i will fall short of

seeing the military as well. and i think cove it, but certainly the situation of, you know, the medical community being at the forefront of anti hunt activities. and now this added layer of the lack of health personnel to adequately treat cases is certainly working to the military advantage. and we must be vigilant about propaganda that's being circulated within society to insight, more fear and more panic and bar. okay, we have to leave this on to thank you very much. sandra, on the joining us from baltimore, maryland relations between jewish communities and palestinians. living in israel are still strained. months off the sci fi with come off and gaza, sort of, i mean reports not from a car in northern israel, the consequences of the unrest having an economic and a social impact to the. it's supposed to be a model of coexistence the port city of aka, in the north of israel,

a place where jews and palestinians usually live together. this should be the high season. the put should be buzzing with tourists, especially now most go with 19 restrictions. have been lifted in israel, but my mood old is restaurant is empty. his family has owned the business since 972 and has a solid reputation. half of the items, you know, the clients don't return because the image of the city is tarnished. a regular clients didn't come back and it will take several months for them to return. it's longer than we expected. but since their rights in may, at the start of the 11 days got a war, i can this market remain empty. the angry young people took to the street, carrying out vandalism and ransacking building. one person was moses of food as art gallery was damage. he just reopened a few days ago, but few people are walking through doors. he blames former prime minister benjamin

netanyahu because the government didn't even education. they didn't put a lot of money. the government put money on the for stone. the mic like the big for the fix, everything and music and everything building they need to give. you're not supporting to the people that sense of neglect. it's something method member ruth bus and min lender heard about doing a tour of this ancient coastal city. an effort by the new coalition government to be more inclusive and i wanted to see with my own eyes, what is the feeling, the people, both arabs and jews and, and what can be done to help and a lot of the perpetrators, what actually underground people crying that are also making the lives of the arab population within the city. very, very difficult that people are, you know, are not satisfied by economical the social situation.

a want in every opportunity to, to you know, to tell other people, please notice us, we are here. you are not noticing us, you are not dealing with us. you are ignoring us for many act as being boycotted as punishment for the acts of a few. eventually, tourists will start tickling back. but for co existence to take hold palestinian grievances need to be heard. put up the meat algiers either i can in northern israel still come here on the news for the 14th with the limbic refugee team has problems ahead of the tokyo games. you have that story for me. come back. i brought to you by accenture. let there be change

the news with me duties by extension that there be change? oh,

a call. so senior international book says beijing imposed the controversial national security law a year ago. critic say the law is being used to limit free speech and silence to sense is adrian brown. books there in a city where words now have consequences. it's being held in the shadow of a recently imposed law. the critic say has narrowed this space for free speech here . it's an annual event, but koby 19 forced. it's cancellation a year ago. now though hong kong physical and political health is returning says it's leader. oh, going to europe one day. i am happy that this year's book fair can be how again

seems to appetite is contained. the organizes insist books have not been invented or censored, but exhibit is know. they must be careful about what they promote and say, also focus on the language learning history and art. we are not worried about it. do you have any books here about recent political events in hong kong, and this is not our publishing term. so we don't have to hang up with publish. johnny lau has just written a book about the relationship between china's communist party and hong kong. but no publisher will touch it the 1st time that's happened to him since the hand over from britain 24 years ago. well, i think it is completely different. the political content almost disappear. well in the book fair this year and all the

folks talking about politics share the points of views of the government. one author, however, takes the right boxes here, a 3 volume collection of speeches, and writings by china's president, teaching ping on prominent display. the self censorship is evident. the titles on display here are safe, and that is a further reminder of the fact that hong kong is increasingly walking in political lockstep with the mainland. exhibit is may be wary of breaking the law. that caution has not dampened public interest with long queues outside the venue. come only, i can get the books i want here and also outside. i've just come here to have a look. we did find one book perhaps, that fell into the politically risky category. the author is currently in jail, awaiting trial, accused of violating national security, otherwise little else to reflect the momentous events of the past few years. that
