the huge economic crisis. many relatives call us crying. not only because of the day that because i don't have the money to bury the loved ones, we have to act is like colleges to these people got argentine was one of the 1st countries in the region to impose strict lockdown measures to prevent the spread of coven 19, and thanks to that x per se, the health care system survived. earlier this year, the government, we impose some of those strict locked down measures in an attempt to control the virus variance. many of those restrictions have now been suspended by the government maintains controls at the border and at the airport, we're only a few flights from overseas are allowed to land every day. that is, i will, i, the feeder side is malaysia. government is increasing the number of hospitals dedicated to covered 900 patients. it's buying more beds and oxygen tanks. 11000 new infections reported on the wednesday. that's a record high. will florence movie joins been live now from the capital column for,

for and so the government plan to increase the number of dedicated coven hospitals . what more details do we know? well health officials say the number of new cases is expected to go up and coming weeks because the highly infectious delta variance has been found in almost every state. and the figures do paint a rather bleak scenario than now. more than 100000 active cases in malaysia, that's also a record high. and the number of new infections keep out pacing recoveries. now, health officials are now allocating more resources that's going to be more money for private hospitals to take in non coven $19.00 patients. because more hospitals are going to be converted to taken only cove at 900 patients and then more hospital beds are going to be allocated. now the worst affected areas are in so long was state and quite a new port. so health care work from other states are going to be mobilized to these areas. now there are also plans for self care self test kits to be to,

to go one fail. now the hope is that new infections can be detected and isolated quickly. health officials say they understand that vaccination is the solution to this problem. and malaysia target is to rise for the vaccinate 40 percent of its population by the end of august and 60 percent of its what relation by the end of september. but health officials also say that this target can only be met, provided there are no delays in vaccine supplies, and florence asia is struggling with rising infection and death. so. so what's a broader picture than across the region? while it's a raw the grim picture across the red across the region, indonesia on wednesday reported record highs $54000.00 new cases on wednesday. the worst hit areas on the islands of java and bali where there's a shortage of hospital beds and of oxygen there. in some areas,

ordinary people are pitching in to help grave diggers take new burial sites. the officials now say they fear that the virus is spreading to other regions outside of java and bali. now, myanmar is in the country that reported record highs. not just in the number of new cases, but also in the number of people dead from corona virus. in some cities, people have been people's dont queuing for oxygen and oxygen. kenneth says from his earliest 4 in the morning crematorium are working extra hours from morning to night . funeral work as they say, they can't keep up thailand on thursday reported record highs. 90 in the number of people dead from corona virus 98 vitalia teeth. now, current of virus restrictions went into effect on monday in bangkok and some other provinces. now, ty officials announcing that they're going to limit the export of locally produced astrazeneca vaccines because the country doesn't have enough for its own supplies. that, of course, will have an effect,

an impact on other southeast asian countries that have signed contracts to purchase tie, produce vaccines. so now you have a problem where countries understand, but to get out of this problem, they need to vaccinate as much of that population as quickly as possible. but they will face difficulties getting that if they're going to be delayed in supplies. i like to florence very live, per se there in quality flores. thank you. now, but don't government is urging people to work from home off infection saw by 500 percent in a week. more than 50000 people have tested positive, the prime minister mark rata has apologize for ending almost all locked down restrictions saying, it was an error of judgement. tuba, the government is lifting import duties on food medicines, and other products as it faces unprecedented protests against the worsting economic crisis. people are angry at the lack of basic good and the handling of the pandemic . president miguel diaz can acknowledge shortcomings during an address on tv, but the government has blamed us sanctions and accused washington of trying to be

stabilized the country brazil, the president general scenario has been rushed to hospital the treatment of a blocked intestine. this photo was posted on his twitter account before he was transferred from a capital brazilian to a hospital in san palo. it suffered days of chronic hiccups. monica cannot get at the latest now from re diginero. the doctors have examined him again and have decided for the moment not to submit him to a new surgery. they just said in a statement that they are born, he's going to undergo conservative treatment. and so tonight, nothing more will happen. we must remember that this isn't the 1st time that he's had surgeries after he was stabbed in the 2018 presidential campaign since then a he was he has gone through several surgeries in the intestine or abdominal area.

so it's going to be now a period of waiting and seeing what new developments there will be. but this is happening at a moment where president j both so nato, he's going through the worst period of his 2 and a half year presidency. senate is investigating the government handling of the pandemic which has killed half a 1000000 brazilian. and his popularity has been taking a severe blow army reserve is being called up in south africa. they will help regular soldiers already out on the streets after violence triggered by the jailing of former president jacob zoom at 77 people at dead hundreds of in jail casual efforts at a young reform. the, it's still worse than rest. south africa has seen in years in the city of durban. shops have been looted and warehouses said on fire. some of the areas wealthier residents have reportedly chartered plains or helicopters and left but

others like okay, can't afford to leave his car dealership into a harrisburg was destroyed, one of hundreds of businesses targeted by looters. now he has no money to support his family or to pay his $16.00 employee. my livelihood has been taken away from me . in my eyes, i was sitting cry happy yes. because i can't do anything. the, the vandalism is overwhelming for the shop owner. she was planning on retiring from her party supply store. now she must start over. why? i'm 55 years old retirement who's here? i put everything into my business, everything. i put nothing. no engine, man, nothing. along with police often outnumbered,

yourself, after all of this, how will i survive with the way things are as costa and looting and violence go on? heard, many fear the unrest may lead to unprecedented economic damage. party. a little bit of the young al jazeera time pressure break here in algebra. when we come back, 1st we're going to take some m r and we meet the young americans using social media to debug, surrounding covert 19 vaccine. and afghan government, 40 states a new threat. as taliban fighters make sweeping territorial gains small enough to stay with the hello there, let start in north america and those hot dry conditions across the western states of the us are continuing to fuel wild fires. not temperatures over the next few

the me welcome back. if you don't mind about top stories here on the, i'll just hear with the number of corona virus deaths in argentina has passed a 100 pounds. it's the 5th country in latin america to reach that figure. but infection rates have been decreasing as more people get vaccinated. malaysia government is increasing the number of hospital dedicated to cobra, 1900 patients. buying more beds and optimum tanks and daily infections reach a record high. and brazil president general tomorrow has been rushed to hospital. the treatments are blocked and tested itself a days of common pickups. if the latest help complications must stand with 3 years ago, now it's fear that the vaccine hesitancy among young adults in the u. s. is hampering efforts to achieve her immunity against kobe. 19, under 20 fives, are getting jobs at half the rate of old americans, and that's prompted some young people to try and count to the deluge of

misinformation online. how does your cast 4 we're going to take some m r and this will give your body instructions for yourselves to make a spike. 20 year old jordan trailyn says she was tired of seeing conspiracy theories about the cove in 1900 maxine shared on social media. so she jumped in herself, making pick, talk, video, and instagram post to try to reach her peers with the fact most people and generally my age. don't stand their free time sifting through scientific literature . or to try to formulate opinions about kodak scenes and most scientific matters in general. instead, we really look at what's right in front of us on our social media and that impacts the way that we feel, hey guys, that prompted trailyn to found the covey campus coalition at cornell university. the groups mission is to engage young adults, with catchy posts, about the vaccine andy bunk. the miss students at more than $25.00 universities are

now participating. despite many us colleges and universities. moving to require the co it vaccine for students. only about half of young americans under the age of $25.00 have so far gotten a shot. dr. caution, while jeff have dramatically fallen in the us, those who continue to die from cove it are now trending younger. unfortunately, despite doing everything that we can have had done with our hospital from, you know, 19 year olds, 20 year olds, that sort of thing. and so anytime that happens, it's devastating. just because a lot of young individuals have the mindset that they are invincible. cases involving the more infectious delta variant are doubling about every 2 weeks in the u. s. it's a very that is more easily transmissible potentially deadly and particularly dangerous for young people. but the good news is we have the solution. the science

and the data are clear, the best way to protect yourself against these variances are to get fully vaccinated. a goal now is to avoid more preventable illness and death and deny the virus a breeding ground to develop even more dangerous res heidi jo, castro al jazeera washington. so let's bring in doctor alley mocked at his chief strategy officer, population health at the university of washington to join us from seattle in washington. dr. marks out thanks your time. so listen, young people in the us. i clearly still reluctant to get the vaccine. what do you think is causing this hesitancy within this age group? and how bad is it? it's bad because there are so many, almost out of there and by empty back to people and there are all the social media . and i like the efforts that you listed before getting out on social media. and for me, they younger generation to go and get the vaccine. that's what the 2nd one young generation by nature they delayed the wing preventative measures when it comes to

health and we need that as well. yeah, and experts say the delta variant is most active within the 18 to 25 year old age group. so what impact is this hesitancy likely to have them on the broader pandemic in the us? so that naked, so it's more likely to impact them. second, more likely to be up and about, you know, bar restaurants and then more likely to be infected. and right now, do you make it states what fueling the source acting as young adults and back to native people? yeah, and scientists worry, but even if younger people currently don't get sick as much from the virus, there are real concerns about the impacts of a long covey down the line. debilitating symptoms that can cause. exactly. that's what the problem was younger generation right now. they feel because the mortality is less likely to happen after school, but my teen infection. we need to do our homework from the medical field to let

them know that they would have been long term effect when it comes to this infection. we're learning a lot about go bit 19 and it's not done with fact, and we need to be careful, especially that they aren't generation. and the now seems to be this. why the push in industrialized nations to vaccinate young people. but is that right? when many people in poor countries haven't even had their 1st job yet. i mean, that is something to be said about that. but that i'm not saying that the states, for example, 12 or older are eligible for the next 2 years. so they need to go and get the back in, we need to open our school, we need to go back to normality and yes, i agree with you that, that it's kind of the recent diverse vaccines that they are not using and don't sort of back give it to put countries, especially companies that are seeing as soon as right now. and denisia for example, the national team. alright, or dr. alan looked at great to get your port. thank you very much indeed for talking to our to 0. thank you. now

a staggering number of americans have died from drug overdoses last year, adding to an already grim tolls and the pandemic. there are more than $93000.00 deaths, nearly 30 percent more than a year before. that's more than $250.00 every day and about 11 an hour. 3 quarters were due to the use of opioids. the majority being attributed to fentanyl, that's a powerful synthetic opioid. it's up to a 100 times stronger than morphine inherent. it's becoming increasingly common for dealers to add it to other illicit drugs like cocaine, without the by and knowing overdose from opioids have been rising for decades. but experts say the pandemic hum, but access to treatment and increase social isolation worsening. the situation where brandon marshall is a professor public healthy explains how cobit, 900. so 5 relation rules are making. the problem was using alone is a major risk factor for death. if no one is around to intervene in the event of that overdose, no overdose needs to result in death. we have tools that work like lock zone,

which we're versus opioid overdose is. and if someone is around, they can call 911, and all, and receive that person to receive emergency care. so all of that is probably and was probably less likely during the pandemic when people were experiencing social and physical isolation and using drugs alone. we have millions of people in this country who are currently experiencing substance use disorders, and we do not have robust, easily accessible treatment system in this country. many communities, particularly black and brown communities, experienced major barriers to accessing treatment. one thing we've seen during the co pandemic is that federal regulators have relax some of those restrictions and improved access to these therapies via tele medicine for example. so that's a good start. i think we need to do a lot more now and what i'd like to see this administration tackle is greatly

decision to stay in syria when the danger seemed clear as damage the company's reputation and raised questions over the role of the french government at the time . if judges decide the force can face charges of crimes against humanity, it would be the 1st time that a company in the european union would face such an investigation. natasha butler, i'll just sarah paris. ah. typo krycek headlines here on out to 0. the number of corona virus deaths in argentina as the past 800000. it's the 5th country in latin america to reach that figure. but infection rates have been decreasing as more people get vaccinated. malaysia government is increasing the number of hospital dedicated to covered 1900 patients. it's buying more beds and oxygen tanks is daily and.
