a deliberate coordinator and a well planned attack are now with your market. president 0 ronald post vows the army will were still older in south africa after a week of violence which is killed over 200 people as persons, daily covered cases past 50000. again, scientists warn the government plan to live restrictions is reckless. devon ash, with east haven breaks the 36 co record to lead the halfway stage of golf open championship. and it's just a week to go until the lympics begin. but the protest intake it showed no sign of stopping. ah hello, welcome to the news, our emergency workers in western germany and belgium is searching for more than a 1000 people. still missing off the heavy floods. a 125 people in our confirm to

have died. but rescue efforts of being hampered by collapsed roads and damaged communication lines. for countries have been hit by the record floods. but the full extent of the damage across the region is still unclear. algae, there is step vos and reports now from the germantown of syncing, where people are trying to process the loss of life and the destruction to their homes and communities. they were trapped in the rooms on the 1st floor when the water rose up to 4 meters in no time, at least 12 residence of this home for disabled people died before they could be moved to safety. across the street gabriella wild watched the neighbourhood swiftly turn into a swirling river and feared the worst. one shot money from the people on the alert was had not made at all. i don't know exactly what happened. but the next morning, though he survived, were evacuated from the balconies. absolutely horrible, and living in this region,

his whole life harmon angled still can't comprehend what he saw when the water came to panic. will pass. i wasn't just show g. i panic. i quickly took out the car as well as my dog, and the 2 cats belong to my daughter that we were taking care of this sort of destruction i've never seen before. floating yes, but not tree brantley's floating away. he was lucky enough to be moved to safety and to find his house still standing upon return. auto thought a home forced away by water destroyed by landslide. many remain missing. nobody expected that. a few days of torrential rain could have such a widespread catastrophic impact. confronted with the sheer power of water, people here wondering what happened and where all this water came from raising questions about the effect of climate change. and if what was called this once in a century, flock would know happen more frequently. people are saying that this might happen

like for now every 510 years or something like that. so i'm not sure. and i mean like we try to learn from this to gather with relatives and friends. louisa who young is trying to clean up the mess at the family house, not knowing where to start. they try to return on thursday, but had to leave once again. the water was still here. we tried to get in the house and get everything up on the highest point in the house. so and then we just grab also some stuff that we could see that we knew. okay, this is important and now we just left the extend of the damage wont be known for days or perhaps weeks. but the memories and trauma of this twist of nature will likely remain with the people here for much longer that class and al jazeera syncing in the western part of germany. latasha bottler is a 100 kilometers west across the border in the belgian city of lee,

as she has been checking out. what's been happening there in the aftermath of the floods? where is this neighborhood ovalo and city? oh yes, it is one of the worst affected areas in the city and what summer since i've been telling me that even though they've lived in the decades, they've never seen anything like this. they say the war. so basically flows down this street and there was such a force that it food furniture along with it and surround cause as if they were moved toys. well, the water level rose to about 2 meters. people now are simply trying to clean up the own salvage. what they can bear all the stream, the shape, and if we go through what it was so scary to see the war to rise. my car in the carriage is totally destroyed. there was water all the way up to here. well, some streets in the area are still flooded and roads are still inaccessible to cause

and to vehicles. and that is why the only way of accessing some houses is by boat. the prime minister, belgium has called the floods unprecedented and is called for dave national morning . on july 20th for the victims of european commission chief asset, the floods that have hit germany, belgium and the netherlands are a clear indication of climate change and is calling for urgent action. the commission has already activated the mechanisms to support and help those member states in this very, very difficult catastrophic scenario. but it is the intensity and the length of these events with scientific science tells us it's a clear indication of climate change. and that this is something where we really, really, it shows the urgency to,

to act regard to south africa. now the president has that the week of violence and looting in the country in which, over 200 people have been killed, was planned and coordinated. several rama post says that security forces have identified 12 ringleaders and he's deploy 25000 soldiers to the streets. but smith reports now from durban, the scene of some of the worst of the rioting. mm. south africa army is protecting its citizens from each other. and forcing an easy car shops malls, factories in warehouses, accounting, the cost after an outbreak of looting and writing, but swept through parts of the country. after the jailing of former president jacob zuba on friday, his successor, several ram, a poser visited causal in the tower. the worst effected province. it is clear now that the events of the past week were nothing less than a deliberate,

a co ordinated, and well planned attack on our democracy. supermarkets were stripped back within shore is now facing multi $1000000.00 claims for repairs. one banking group says the economy will contract by 3 percent, the butcher, him fresh, produce section of the supermarkets been cleared out, like everywhere else. now, what bob? riding the jailing, a full for the check. if you remember what drove it off. poverty and equality. south africa now almost 30 years. wide minority, half of south africans live below the official poverty line. unemployment is that a record high of close to 33 percent polluting has created shortages of food, staples, and fuel causing long lines at the few places still open the source. i'll probably the, you know, it was like, it's communicated some way because you hear something here. the better same thing that's happening somewhere else. so it was like, there's the, there's

a spirit that is going around. did that mean or miss is that is going to do it that day. people that job less and also logged out because after monday, even that's funny. yeah. after sunday. yeah. when the president for the people, when i do truly crazy and that would calm me down like a crowd, a lot of crowd coming down and there was a change in south africa's consumer council. he's warning of a humanitarian crisis, and the security is provided for people working in factories, distribution centers and shops. bernard smith, audra, 0 durban, south africa. as 14 east king has made his 1st public remarks falling weeks of protest, announcing the monarchy he called the demonstrators satanic, and accused him of taking the country backwards. protests have been continuing in the 2nd largest city of among the me. a teacher's union says, police 5 gas and water cannon through this bus. the crowds are reports. dozens of

people have been killed and injured since the rallies began in june. what you would use our lie from london much more still ahead on the program. we look at why despite cousin infections rising across the united states, many a pushing for the border with mexico to reopen by the rules police, right, the officers and homes of activists and john list in a new crack down on descent. and then later we'll have all the sports. he's with jama highlights, i'm low light from round to the open championship brooding this night for former women link scope. ah, the u. k is reported its highest number of new cova cases in more than 6 months. just days before the government plans to relax restrictions on the english pubs, restaurants and nightclubs. u. k. government data shows that we're close to 52000

new cases of karone of ours reported on friday, just to say earlier, u. k prime minister bars, johnson said, the worst of the pandemic would be behind the country if it's careful and lifting most restrictions would help the economy bounce back. well, dr. gabriel scally is visiting professor of public health university of brazil and a member of the independent scientific adviser group for emergencies is also one of the doctors is written a piece in the british medical journal warning. the u. k. government's reopening plan is reckless, joins as life now from bristol. so the u. k. county has the 3rd highest number of cases of any country in the world. i think honey, a brazil in indonesia have more. how much worse could it get when these restrictions are lifted? well, the number of cases is indeed huge. what is good is that the number of deaths isn't very high, but it is rising steadily in the last week. death written by 57

percent. and if that goes on, well then it could get very bad. and some of the, some of the modeling shows that this change that is being made on monday could really spur something that could lead to a 1000 deaths a day by the end of the summer. by the early autumn do the vaccines, we can the link between infection and hospitalization. well, i think we should look at it the other way round in the day. the number of people who get infected, who end up in hospital or end up dying has been reduced dramatically. so your chances of being seriously ill and, and or dying have been reduced dramatically buybacks, nation. but if you have a lot of people who are at lower risk, but you have a huge number of cases and we are looking potentially at a huge number of cases. then you will stand still and up with a very,

very large number of people going to hospital and a large substantial number of people dying. so it's not a very good prospect. i think what is most concerning. a lot of scientists and public health people is the fact that the government actually wants this to happen in many ways. they want to see a lot of cases know during the summer they want those hospital admissions and those deaths to take place. now, rather than in the autumn in the winter because they think the ultimate winter are going to be bad enough and getting some of the infection out of the way, know is a good thing. but most public health people say that's absolutely crazy, that we shouldn't be encouraging the virus to spread. we shouldn't be letting that spread. and we certainly shouldn't be welcoming more cases, more hospitalization and more deaths. what about the n director? unintended consequences of the panoramic on, on livelihoods and mental health. how do you balance that against the need to

protect people? oh, it's extraordinarily important and it's not them, it's not a balance. actually, the evidence shows across the world in the countries that have got the virus under control and kept it under control. their economies have done very well. it's the countries that handled it badly and had a lot of cases and a lot of deaths where the economies have done very poorly because it is so disruptive to the economy both in terms of the restrictions that are put on. but also in terms of the workforce of the damage it does to the workforce. so i think the u. k, it's got the worst of both worlds. it has a lot of cases, a lot of death and a lot of damage to the economy. the u. k. is a major travel, but how could this affect the rest of the wall? especially if more vaccine resistance, more infectious variance emerge in the summer. while that is a big danger in the summer, if you have a lot of virus replication, lot of new infections during the summer, you're going to get more mutation taking place that has to happen. and if you get

that happening in a country like the u. k, for about half of the population is vaccinated. you're actually giving an evolutionary advantage to variance that actually it can bypass the immunity generated by vaccination. so there is a real worry that we may get more mutations and we get to make it more dangerous mutations because we're just going to have so many cases that could be a really terrible outcome of the this complete removal of all of our protections. gabriel scouting, thank you for joining us. pleasure. thank you. well, i'll for you as president joe biden as a cue social media platforms of killing on vaccinated people by spreading misinformation. earlier white house officials accused facebook of not doing enough to stop the false claims thing. 12 people were responsible for almost 65 percent of

anti vaccine misinformation on social media platforms. fighting the st. current of ours cases, arising from people who have not been vaccinated. no, really, the only pandemic we have is among the killing people. there are concerns about vaccine hesitancy as well threatening the fight to protect people coinciding with of rise and infections across all us states, such as being driven by the delta variance that's largely affecting younger people . patty calling reports on that. now. this is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated, with more than half of the us population still unvaccinated against coded a new urgent warning from white house official. yesterday, cdc reported more than $33000.00 new cases, a covered 19 r 7 day average is about $26300.00 cases per day. and this represents an increase

of nearly 70 percent from the prior 7 day average. hospitals are once again filling up, and people are still dying from coven, more than 99 percent of those unvaccinated. it's particularly a problem in southern states. in fact, just for states accounted for more than 40 percent of all cases in the past week. with one in 5 of all cases occurring in florida alone, vaccines had become a political issue in the us. that was clear when the governor of florida started drilling t shirts and beer cooties with the slogan, don't felt g, my florida. a slap, the country's top infectious disease doctor and analysts say conservative media is making it works in very successfully convinced a large swath of republicans not to get the vaccine. if you look at polls,

republicans are much more likely to say they have not been vaccinated. they. 5 will not be vaccinated, it's all making the situation more dangerous for children under the age of 12 who can't get vaccinated yet. and now there are reports, the food and drug administration will look at allowing that until possibly december . so now more precautions, math mandates going back into effect in los angeles, california. the biden administration is supposed to decide over the next few days if they should lift restrictions on international travelers. coming to the u. s. these new numbers will likely make that a much more difficult decision. technical have al jazeera washington us borders with mexico and canada has been close to non essential travel since march 2020, in southern california. that's re havoc on the lives of millions of people who need to cross the mexico every day. countries have a signal that borders could soon reopen, that many citizens are skeptical from signing sidra,

california manual rapid reports, the rows and rows of close down businesses in southern california. this retail nightmare is the result of 16 months of travel restrictions along the us, mexico border graft ala, or these runs a hair salon, not far from the sunny sea, that port of entry into mexico. what are the busiest border crossings in the world over again? and she tells us, the lack of mexican tourists has forced many businesses in this area to shut their doors off from the border. closure has affected me because i had employees that time them come back to work for more than a year. that's affected me. i think all of fantasy door has been effected because many businesses closed and paid over while the bided administration is considering lifting border restrictions on july 21st. many are concerned,

the white house will instead push the deadline. further. for his part, mexico's president lopez over board has doubled up on an occupation efforts in the northern part of the country, hoping that more vaccination lead to a quicker lifting of restrictions since march of last year, cities and towns all along the u. s. southern border have lost an estimated $10000000000.00 a sum that continues to rise. the longer restrictions remain in place along the more than 3100 kilometers of southern border. jason wells, head of the sunny pseudo chamber of commerce. since the last 16 months with no foreign visitors has been dreadful. in an average year, we have $895000000.00 in sales and tennessee. we're calculating from may march of 2020 to march of 2021 though sales to be about 250000000. so you're looking at like 74 percent loss in that in that revenue in revenue here. but again, like i said,

it's 1900 family who no longer have a job to count on. the economic fallout is not only being felt along the us southern border. the pressure on canada's government to reach an agreement with the us to return travel to normal is mounting. while there is uncertainty over how and when the us, canada and mexico will lift border restrictions, it's clear that the economies of all 3 countries cannot fully reopen until the borders do. monday, the al jazeera sony see that are california. well, the u. s. has donated for 9000000 vaccine doses to indonesia. is it mattel, se asia was corona var sound break? indonesia reported a record $1025.00 virus related deaths on friday. now recording more daily infections in india and any 6 percent of the population has been vaccinated. government says it's a worst case scenario situation with at least $56000.00 new cases. and just one day

the u. s. has the well actually we can bring you more now on what's been happening in indonesia because obviously situation there has been deteriorating and out. correspondent jessica washington brings us more on that. here at ross han cemetery in north dakota, this is one of the designated cobra. 900 burial side in the canadian capital and he had just 7 days ago. and already we can see the difference of just how many more grades have been added areas, parts of this field that was empty before the parents. that greg side is the case with many of the covert 900 burial sites in indonesia is fond filling up. the sun is in fact studying, but there's no end inside for the work for these great dig is that they dig tirelessly even having to use heavy machinery like excavators, to keep up with their workload. as the desk told here,

continue to rise. as indonesia struggle through this wave of covert 19 cases, some cemeteries have even had to extend their operating hours and some operating on a 247 basis just so grave diggers can keep up with their workload. and even though the official death toll is more than a 1000 deaths each day, and as tragic as that number is, experts you say that it doesn't reflect the reality on the ground. and even local government data shows that the number of people being buried according to covert 19 protocols is much higher than the number of confirmed deaths and not suggest that because of indonesia, low rates of testing, many people died before they even had the chance to take a call with 19 tests and as in asia, hospitals and all the health care facilities are overwhelmed by this wave of infection. we are seeing an increase in the death toll because many people are forced to self isolate at home without even the prospect of medical care. when the

eiffel tower israel into visitors, after its longest closures in world war 2, landmark has been shot since the started the panoramic. it will now accept 13000 people. the data, french government isn't out new restrictions for visitors, including proof of a current of ours vaccine or negative tests. now, security services and batteries of right at the homes and offices of more activists and independent journalists. this is the 3rd successive day of searches. and what journalists and writes groups of saying is the latest crackdown on descent by the president, alexander lucas shanker. at least 20 people of reportedly been detained because shank is government is face domestic and international pressure since his heavily disputed election when last august. so i'm now joined from may bring this. why near by about a russian politician, a jealous run a few at yorker who's an advisor to the opposition just fell on a chicken off sky. now obviously you're not in the country,

but what information are you getting about this wave of detentions and raids that are taking place and who specifically is being targeted? thank you for having me. great on started last week. first they attacked the major news outlets. immense. can arrangements and they came to the officers, they arrested the editor, some chiefs, they arrested reporters, they handcuffed, alters, and the employees. so this organizations then, this week, a continued and they came to the office of human rights defenders to those for how the families took, repressed political prisoner risk. and also they came to them international media organisation such as radio for europe, radio, liberty, european radio for better was so white happens, i think congressional is trying to hide the truth. and he's also trying to eliminate all sources of possible on the rest. and they will already convince me,

rights groups about the crackdown on protest is allegations of torture. what do you know about the conditions in detention? we know very little because there is no information coming from. there are no meetings allowed to, lawyers can see their prisoners, their clients only once a week, and not always, there are multiple reports about torture and for example, ministration of them colonies and presents. they put liquid bleach in cells, so people can bring normally, there were several das of political prisoners reported last months. and there were 3 suicide attempts reported last month, also by political prisoners. how is this going to affect he opposition movements embarrass? i think there are 2 tracks here. there is and there g people want to protest,

there is no way back. point of no return has been passed. people who want the relations, people want freedom, people want democracy. but on the other hand, there are no structure on the ground, they basically eliminated or dorcas nepal to the civil society. and right now situation is quite difficult. and anything, any step, any award by a president lucas shan car or by international community, can become a trigger for the new wave of the protest. so it's very predictable. what will happen tomorrow? what will happen next week? it's clear the strategy if authorities are not just focusing on, on protest is anymore, but they're looking carefully at independent journalists, civil society, independent media. that means that they are, well, i suppose they're slowly going to to suffocate any sort of opposition by targeting those elements in the country. indeed, indeed, they're trying to end indemnify the leaders of the civil society,

but also lose for telling the truth to suffocate. turner if voices, location can last elections last year, he doesn't have legitimacy and he want to re establish control over the country. all right, thank you very much for joining us from vilnius. thank you. as much more on the program that focus on lab and the economy crisis as spiraling further out of control. the resignation of prime is to desmond designate side harry putting a price tag on pollution chinese power fund, not trading carbon emission credit in the biggest market of its kind in the world and in sport will tell you all about best man. recognize as the oldest tennis player in the world, he's hoping to challenge legend of the support. ah
