pandemic had been arrested by the military. no social distancing this young going crematorium for the living or the dead bodies stacked, waiting for the furnace relatives waiting to get to the front of the queue. ambulances empty of their patience and a smokestack blowing black smoke, tony ching al jazeera india has recorded its highest the daily best whole in a month. almost 4000 were reported after her astra state updated its count of unreported deaths. india has confirmed more than 418000. that's but a study of excess that's found that the number of fatalities could actually be 10 times higher. a new study says 2 doses of the pfizer or astrazeneca vaccine are almost as effective against the highly transmissible delta variance,

as they are against the previously dominant alpha variant. the study which was published in the new england journal of medicine found that $25.00 shots are 88 percent effective at preventing symptomatic disease from the delta vary. and now that's only slightly down from the 93.7 percent efficacy against the alpha variance to shots of the present of actually meanwhile, or 67 percent effective. and there is a growing alarm about how fast corona virus could be spreading in crowded migrant camps on the us mexico border. thousands of people are enduring, crowded, and unsanitary conditions and is minute rapid reports now from p y. now, there are worries, the people they were not being vaccinated. the crowded tense, your mexico's border with the united states, most of the camps residence or asylum seekers. some had been here for weeks, others months. the enduring sanitary,

living conditions that have put their lives at risk every day. if you know, you know, you know, it's difficult to have a normal life because there's a lot to adapt to. it's not the same as being a home. it's difficult, but we're trying to find a way to survive the collecting water at the can or just using the bathroom is a daily challenge social distancing and keeping hands clean is almost impossible. i mean, i have hand gel and mouth covers and we hardly leave our tent. we stay inside more people has many more disease including cases of corona, virus. new t. one is government does not appear to be collecting data on contagion rates among asylum seekers. they're going to say more they are, we don't really know how many more outbreaks do have been. there's no oversight of this. and what can happen is that people have been infected. but with no symptoms. toby 19 inoculations have sped up in communities along the us mexico border asylum

seekers and refugees, however, do not appear to be included in the vaccination efforts for months. human rights advocates have warned that camp like this one in tiquana, mexico or a ticking time bomb for contagious here asylum seekers and refugees are not only exposed to cope with 19, but also outbreaks of chicken pox, tuberculosis, and other communicable diseases. in recent weeks, health authorities administered chicken pox vaccine to address a localized outbreak, but many say they're worried over a possible 3rd way that the corona virus pandemic and mexican called him a couple cause it worries me more than chicken pox because chicken pumps can be easily treated but cause it is a much greater risk he wanted officials did not re spawn to our request for comment on how the city plans to guarantee the rights of refugees and asylum seekers. but the longer people continue to live under such precarious conditions, unprotected from new, more transmissible variance of coby 19,

in some sense also help to prevent other complications. long cove, it there are concerns that either either celebrations and sell a goal could trigger a new surgeon cope in 1900 cases. type restrictions are in place in the capital, but officials are worried about gatherings elsewhere. daily cases have risen from just a few dozen a months ago, almost a 1000 on tuesday. they call us hot reports from duck a de worthy of a new attire. and unlike previous years, a new mask for motor enjoy in his son. they're on their way to pray at the car central mosque for this very special muslim celebration. but there's a sense of apprehension. i don't feel totally comfortable or safe. the virus is spreading. many people are ignoring restrictions and traveling to the villages to celebrate the government bound public gatherings but

thousands congregate anyway. worshipers cannot enter without hand kinda kaiser and a math. his sermon, the mom warns the viruses back even stronger than before. he advises people to respect, barrier measures and social distance thing. but inside the mosque, thousands pray, shoulder to shoulder, toe to toe with the delta, the variance rapidly spreading in africa. the world health organization has worn to some government health systems are on the verge of collapse under resourced health systems of phasing, dia, shortages of health workers, supplies equipment and infrastructure needed to provide care to severely ill covered 900 patients. in senegal, cases have tripled in the last week president monkey sol is threatening to reimpose restrictions, including closing borders, curfews and regional log downs. there's a sense among many cynically, is that the restriction suggested by the government are just too much to handle the

measures that increase police at borders an increase neutralization of borders. well, unfortunately, the people making more than just crossings and more people dying and the channel, which no one wants to see. the u. k. government accuses people like this. if q jumping it points to resettlement programs establish to take, for example, syrian refugees directly from the middle east, but they're currently paused while the u. k. takes in fewer asylum seekers than several european nations. last year, germany, france, spain and greece received more applications. the labor opposition says the current strategy is counter productive. the boldest feel that actually makes the situation better, the people smugglers and worse for those who are legally trying to claim asylum. the government shut sound legal rates to claim asylum, say fruits for asylum, including for unaccompanied asylum seeking children, which just pushes people into the arms of people smugglers and helps to boost their business. the new bill makes it a criminal offense to knowingly arrive in the u. k. without permission with

luckily, the concerned by the restrictions that they focus on winning olympic gold. you can congregate in big groups in the dining hall. you get a stan, you a little bubble of 4 or 5 people the whole time and stay the room and all of that. that's exactly how i've always treated games. like it hasn't been a big sociable experience for me. it's all about the competition. and so it's going to be pretty routine that sense of isolation is set to continue in the family's empty stadiums that will surround and lympics like no other. andy richardson, al jazeera sophia, for the 1st time since 2000. he said bolt will not feature at the olympics, but the time gold medalist is encouraging athletes to express the personal views during the games. political demonstrations are not allowed on the middle podium, but the se allows competitors to make gestures on the field, provided they don't disrupt or disrespect, fellow athletes are. you know,
