1:30 pm
oh the the me you want to me all the news with me, the whole run, the reminder of our top stories. more than 1300 people are missing in western europe, have to severe flooding. at least $93.00 people have died in germany, which is experiencing it's worse whether disaster in decades. south africa, presidents as the week on the rest of the killed 117 people was planned and coordinated. civil run, the pose says $25000.00 soldiers will patrol the street to still further looting and violence. regions are sending vices to the north to support government troops. it's right, concerns of the conflict with the guy and rebels, maybe on the verge of escalating again.
1:31 pm
thailand has posted a record daily high of course, virus infections of concern mans about delays and vaccine deliveries. more than $9600.00 cases were reported in the last 24 hours. non essential businesses of clothes and movement has been restricted in several provinces. since the weekend on thursday, astrazeneca asked for an extension on the delivery of 61000000 vaccine doses. tony cheng consulate this from bangkok. i think if you look back 12 months ago, people here were reading stories about cities like new york, where ambulances were racing through empty streets with people entitled with cove at 19. now they're saying that hid themselves, and it's a real problem. as you mentioned today with another grim reco tyler, and we've seen that broken several times this week, or so the number of daily deaths from curve at 19 that speed increasing. we haven't quite hit the 10000 mark of daily infections for the government thought we will be
1:32 pm
getting to some states this week, but that is just around the corner. we're at 9600 today. and i think there's also mounting sensor frustration here with the government. we've seen the tiny government announced this week that they want to promoter a cocktail of different vaccines. that something that w h o says is not advisable, but tenens is very much vague based as the vaccination program on sign back in astrazeneca, well, the sign it appears not to be performing very well, particularly with those people who have the delta variance. i think the government's trying to cover itself by giving people who have had a 1st sign of astrazeneca afterwards. but these are 2 very different vaccines in the medic professions concerned about that. nonetheless, while the government has said it's trying to source other vaccines, they haven't yet arrived and they won't get here until later in the year. and i think that's a real problem. we've also seen bad economic news,
1:33 pm
economic projections for this year scale back from 3.4 percent growth down to 2.2. and i think that's a reflection. the fact that this process, which many people thought was going to be easing this year, is going on with those locked downs in place with the restrictions on travel and with the tourist spends no ones coming in to thailand. the economy is not looking good for the foreseeable future. well, the us is today just 4 and a half 1000000000 bucks, in doses to indonesia. now as it battles southeast asia, west current viras outbreak, indonesia reported a record $1025.00 virus related deaths on friday. it's now recording more daily infections in india and only 6 percent of the population has been vaccinated. the government says it's a worst case scenario situation with at least 56000 new cases in just one day. that's got the very latest now from indonesia with all correspond. jessica washington, who's in a rural atomic jakarta,
1:34 pm
the vaccine rollout is progressing. jessica, you'll updates on that, but what's going on behind you? well, i am here at birth time cemetery. this is one of the designated covert 19 burial sites in jakarta, and we actually came here last week and what a difference a week makes. the difference really is stock. as we entered this side, you can really see that there has been an object in depth, but the areas where we walked around with we were able to put our gear down because they were empty and now filled with graves. and it is really horrible to see that there has been such an object in death. now the sun is already setting, but the work suddenly isn't over for these grave diggers and some of the cemeteries around chicago on the outskirts of jakarta, are actually operating now 247 because there are just so many people dying from the virus as hospitals are reaching full capacity and cannot take care of the sick. we
1:35 pm
are increasingly seeing the trend of people dying at home. and we have seen, as you mentioned, the vaccine rollout progressing, meeting and even exceeding targets. and the government has set the ambitious target vaccinating more than 200000000 people by the end of the year. that includes people within the 12 to 17 years age bracket. but as the vaccine roll up progressive it's, it's happening at a time when transmission has already spike when the health care system is already overweight. when so many people are dying in their homes, well beyond the confirmed death toll, we already know that those numbers do not reveal the true extent of how many people have died off this virus in jakarta alone. we know that the number of confirmed deaths does not match up with the number of coven burials that we're seeing in cemeteries like. jessica washington in chicago. thanks very much. now the funeral services and muma overwhelmed us, covered 19 death,
1:36 pm
sol footage from one facility in yang contrarez. dozens of coffins and bodies laid out awaiting cremation. undertakers in the cities say that that conducting hundreds of funerals every day, more than double. they would normally do $145.00 people died a wednesday, but experts say the truth again is much higher. and me, me of hospitals are being forced to turn away have 19 patients leading to a shortage of medical oxygen for home treatment. people continue to defy a curfew brought in by the nation's military to join long queues. foxtrot, refills, know, lebanon's, political and economic crisis has deepened after its prime minister designate, resigned, for failing to form a new government. solitary, re suggestion for a cabinet has been rejected by the president. he's a very basic nation, has deemed any chances of rescuing lebanon from a financial meltdown. while the lebanese pound has plunged further. it's now $21000.00 to the us dollar. it had been trading at 19650 earlier on
1:37 pm
thursday. now the lebanese town began it's downward spiral 2 years ago. when how did he 1st resigned is prime minister. and it's lost 95 percent of its sally since then. the world bank says lebanon's g d p is projected to contract by 9.5 percent this year after shrinking by more than 20 percent. well, that is all correspondent in the lebanese capital bay route and joyce b. now i didn't say 9 months on really, where does the government go from here? well the political crisis which wasn't profitable for the past 9 months, is just become more complicated because the prime minister designate now resign side the how do you the he has stepped aside and he's also saying, i'm not going to endorse any candidates. and his support is important because the post of prime minister is reserved for muslims. and these and lebanon's effect
1:38 pm
terry and base power sharing agreements. if he doesn't throw his weight under any new new name, for example, then that this person will not be seen as legitimate. and then the next cabinet will be considered one sided. it won't have the support of the lebanese, most of the lebanese people, as well as the international community. so right now, finding a solution to form a new government is going to be very, very difficult. you mentioned the lebanese lira, it has further plummeted in the last half hour. you mentioned 20000. it's not trading at $24000.00 on the black market. and this is, you know, this is how it is being trade is not the official rates at 1500. so more and more people are falling into poverty. because the majority of the lebanese people earn in the local currency, their purchasing power is affected. the price of fuel has increased, the price of food has increased the price of bread. we were just at one of the busiest transportation hudson bay boots and the buses were empty and we asked, you know,
1:39 pm
what's going on. and they're saying people cannot even afford to pay for transportation fees. unemployment is on the rise. it's now it's 35 percent. and then the expected to reach 40 percent. the united nations is saying 30 percent of lebanon, childrens are going to bed hungry. and so the situation is valued, and that's why there is a need for a government, not just any government, a government that before minded, able and willing to fight corruption, so that the international community will help lebanon. because this time around, they've been saying a time and time again, there's not going to be a blank check. we're not going to be a political class which has been governing for decades, mismanaging public funds and accused of corruption. so really, on certain days for the lebanese people as, as they struggle, really, it is a daily struggle then report with you. thanks very much. dana in beirut, 4th patrick martini, as an economist and ceo of latin hall for international market solutions. a
1:40 pm
consultancy focused on economic reforms joins me now from beirut via scott. good talking with us on the program. mr. martini, it seems that we're in a chicken and egg situation. you can't help stop a tumbling currency when there's no functioning, government and finance minister to tell the world what the country's finance policy will be in the future. indeed many have been on a downward trend since even the ha did not change. since the government with the central bank are met, the real is continued in order to monetize debt. they are unable to pay back except for printing more money to give back to banks. and this has been resolved to continue with the mission. and we need to reform this because i think
1:41 pm
we need more confidence in the local currency and we need to call them and those things need that extra government and the need that we don't need any positive should that direction. and so the and the interview into the mission. yeah. so to interrupt, if it's put that to one side, experts and analysts continue to talk to us about lebanon being bailed out. he's not the only answer. i mean bailing out a country doesn't mean that you're going to actually attract inward investment. right? no, i don't think that need to be should be because simply the politicians won't allow money to get to the right people. and they would probably use the as, as election we need to do is you need to level on to the actual v for. and one of the most important people is to put in place the currency that what's stopped the
1:42 pm
original delivering is pound. and that's what the government's on the ability to print more lira if you do that, we call me and then talking about other solutions. i appreciate that you are not a politician, sir, but how does the i m f, the international military funded the world bank deal with the country like lebanon? i mean, it's recent report clearly lays the blame on the political system, the institutions and corrupt politicians, unless you change thought you can't improve anything. so you have these major financial institutions actually getting involved in the politics that they really don't want to be involved with. absolutely national community, we see that they are willing to help us, but level of needs, government and doing specific. right. and those are the fun would start by shrinking expenditure. so that would bring less money. and so that and so that would get things on track. unfortunately, you need,
1:43 pm
well thought of you have faith for my government, i would equal without them. now there have been some idea of the adult you get from the bottom and stating that the board that that but this is not really neither functioning. government then undertakes those what incorporation with the bank and the community and the position will be able to be interested in the solution which is what happens patrick money, thanks so much for joining us from beirut. thank you. now us present, joe biden says he's looking into ways to force open internet access into cuba. social media and messaging out have been largely cut off since major protest last weekend. the demonstrations about shortages of basic goods and cuts on civil liberties. keep us government as accuse the us of being behind the rallies,
1:44 pm
which were the largest in decades. well, there are warnings of the search for the unmarked graves of indigenous children in canada has barely scratched the surface. more than a 1000 have been found so far, but research a se that could be many more. alexia bryan has the story. each flag marks a grave, a child, a story, and members of canada's indigenous groups want those stories heard. you are bearing witness to a very important truth about indigenous people and canada. it has been referred to as a historic dark chapter from the 19th century. more than 150000 indigenous children attended state funded christian boarding schools in an effort to assimilate them into mainstream canadian society. the children were separated from their families, languages and traditions. the last school closed and 996. i gotten so many
1:45 pm
beatings for speak my language that i was sure that there's a subconscious block that just didn't allow me to do it. thousands of them was physically and sexually abused or died of disease. we were dropped and b you could scream and scream your vision, no one there to come to your help. in 2008, the canadian government officially apologized for its part and launched an inquiry to investigate. hundreds of remains or unmarked grace had been found at former residential schools and recent months. using ground penetrating radar researches say, many of the graves were shallow in line with reports from survivors that children were forced to dig them. they warned the discovery so far adjust the beginning. there are very likely to be many human burials in the study area. after all this investigation has barely scratched the surface covering just under 2 acres of the
1:46 pm
total $160.00 acre residential school sites. indigenous leaders have called on prime minister at johnston trudeau, and the catholic church which ran many of the schools to open the records immediately and fully for all the remains can be identified. the responsibility of our children is the families, their communities so her birth was good. sure and up and down are not going to come up here. are want the truth to be out, did my brother be just your home? oh, a history of heard shared by generations to promise to honor those who never came home. alex here brian al jazeera. oh,
1:47 pm

1:49 pm
positive on arrival. the international olympic committee president thomas is adamant they is 0 risk to the public. and vice president john coats paid separate visits to hiroshima and nagasaki. on friday, the 2 said he's hit by atomic bombs in 1945. the olympic and paralympic games that tokyo 2020 will be a beacon of hope for a better and more peaceful future. we need more solidarity. it's also emerged on friday. the police are searching for your candid weightlifter, julia se quito local who has gone missing in western japan, where the team of stain report say an official notice. it was missing during a p. c. r test. that's cost live to tokyo, lympics stadium, to join a p sports rice, a steven wage. steven, always nice. talking to you. let's start with bus trip to hiroshima. more than
1:50 pm
70000. find a petition against it. why is that? you know, back and codes are on a good will mission. they're trying to convince the japanese people that there's a reason for these games to go on and be safe and secure bach. 3 days ago i met her . she motto though, the president, the organizing committee, he then met the prime minister, mr. suger. yesterday he was with governor of co creek or eureka quaker, eureka. he's trying to convince japanese public these games are going to be safe and secure. the poll say he's not being very successful, you know, the people are still skeptical depending on what poor you look at. 8050 percent of the public does not believe the game should still go on. the coaches on a, on a good. what mission on a p r mission essentially trying to convince the i see says the 0 risks to the japanese public. it's quite a bold statement. what's the feeling on the ground? they i think the japanese public is not buying it. i
1:51 pm
think it's impossible to say there's 0 risk you just mentioned where we're having every day a smattering of cases in don't. how right now the refugee olympic team is stranded because one official port official is tested positive. that team may be 5 or 6 days late arriving and tokyo. it's impossible for mr. bob to say it's going to be perfectly safe. we've got a smattering of cases everywhere. and we're going to have them 11000 atlantic athletes, 4400 paralympic athletes coming in here. tens of thousands of more officials, judges me broadcasters. it's impossible. things will not slip through the cracks and he knows that. but he can only say they're going to be safe and secure. speaking of things that box says he also said the talk is the best ever prepaid setting for the games. would you agree with that? i would, and there's a little bit of a tragedy here. i think before the pandemic struck, this was, this is,
1:52 pm
and he still says the best prepared city ever. these would have been magnificent games. a stadium behind us by can go, coma is a masterpiece. it was bits recently built and looks like it's been in the city forever. these would have been wonderful games, but the pandemic took the air out of everything. and then when the japanese organizer had to start reorganizing, the cost started to go up. people started to get skeptical, and they're still skeptical tomorrow or a week from now, we're going to have 1000 people apparently in the stadium that said 68001000 people to see the opening ceremony of the tokyo olympics. that shows you how desperate the situation is and how the ios see despite everything else has to have this on television. that's the money maker, tv makes the money. and so that's what's driving these games forward without a doubt. and then just finally, we've spoken several times about public opposition to the games. but one weeks ago they must be some excitement about finally seen some quotes. yeah, i think i think when it starts, like all lympics, you know,
1:53 pm
we run up to elliptic games are very contentious or difficult. this is a massive event to put on. there's always problems when the game starts very typically the fans get into it. so judo is a very early event here for japan of jazz, japan does well in judo, i suspect the public will start to raise the flag and way, but these are after all, very nationalistic driven games. so once the games begin, people will get behind. i think the japanese public will forget very quickly or at least temporarily what went before and they'll get caught up, particularly if they do well. know if they disappoint. that could be another another matter. steven, wait, always a pleasure talking to you. thank you. it's just have to under day so the winter olympics and venues are nearing completion in beijing. but china's hosting of the games has been shrouded in control oversee rights groups and governments, highlighting allegations of human rights abuses. katrina, you reports from a jang g arco north of beijing,
