5:04 am
health class everywhere because it was discriminatory. it divides the citizen, it divides people. that's why we hear what i think systematic vaccination is to extreme and too risky. and i'm also very shocked by the extension of this to i think they have nothing to gain and we are taking too many risk to try and save our elders across italy. a similar scheme has also spart angry demonstrations there. thousands of protested in rome, naples and children chattering freedom and down the dictatorship of green past will be needed from early next month. even restaurants, visit cinemas, among other indoor activities, nearly 55 percent of these population is fully vaccinated. thousands of people have also been protesting in london, demonstrators say that governments track and trace app is limiting their movements . there's more than 600000 told to sell high for in one week this month. the pose

5:07 am
what is safe with there is i don't really think there is any other way for us to, to get out of this crisis in vantage are through the vaccine rollout has just begun quite a challenge in a nation of 83 separate islands as part of the global kovak specs, a nation initiative. but who are to has now received several shipments. but with cases rising in the region many award, that won't be enough for the 1000 tossers. and it's not really enough for the hubbub. listen, so we still need more packets in mainland southeast asia. there was a feeling that the worst of the pandemic was passed here in thailand. they only had 61 cove in 19 death in the whole of 2020. now, there are more than that every single day. vietnam was talented as another cove at 19 success. strict controls who kept early cases isolated and transmission well under control. now the vietnamese authorities saying thousands of new cases every

5:09 am
and florida. just in the state of florida, its accounting for about 20 percent of all new corona virus cases here in the us there troubling signs as well. and for example, in the state of alabama, only about 33 percent of the entire state population has been vaccinated. that is where the governor of alabama to say that basically they're blaming it on unvaccinated people in her state on why the caseload is also going up there. and in the state of new jersey, once one of the epa centers of the pandemic here in the united states, the governor announced there that the people about that were fully vaccinated recently died from corona virus. that's led to a lot of worry by many a recent poll by the associated press found that out of all the people unvaccinated in the united states,
5:10 am
45 percent of them say they definitely have no plans to get the jap, it's very troubling for the white house and officials here in the us who are basically dealing with trying to get more people vaccinated, but people that simply clearly have told people they just do not want to get vaccinated. lot of people just feel unconvinced that that is the answer for them. nevertheless, there is a lot of talk here in the united states, a bringing about bringing back mask mandates throughout the country so far is being done on a local level. but the talk that it could be a federal mandate again, soon, but bottom line here is within the united states. this is now very much become a pandemic of done vaccinated militia coalition lead by saudi arabia says it's intercepted and destroyed drones, launched by humans who the rebels towards the southern region of the kingdom. yemen has been engulfed by a civil war in 2014 and its internationally recognized leadership was forced into

5:20 am
was just going to play out well, you're exactly right. this cannot possibly be a an honest and competitive election when most of the opposition candidates are either under house arrest or being detained. some of them with no contact with lawyers or their families. so almost disappeared. so it's unclear what, what, what, what it clearly does shows is how insecure daniel ortega is about a competition. but also how brazen this is to, to wipe out the opposition before an election scheduled for november. daniel, there was a darling of the last touring, the 1971 who was fighting alongside december needs to fight as what changed. he lost in 1990 and that was, i think,
5:21 am
a traumatic experience for him. and his wife restarted moody. you and they were sort of in the wilderness for a few years and then he tried to come back and competed several times in last. when he finally one in 2006 again coming back to power. i think that they decided they would not risk a similar loss when, you know, previously they had lost not only power, but financial resources and you know, had had very little to go on and they didn't want to repeat that. and so, increasingly, since that time, he has done very and democratic things, including having the constitution change to allow his repeated reelections repressing protests, especially in 2018 with very harsh repression and relying
5:22 am
on on a harsh reaction to any kind of descent or protest against his regime over the last couple of years. so he's grown increasingly authoritarian. the u. s. has imposed sanctions on a 100, nicaragua and officials. it says that i've been involved in this track down other western governments are, have either done the same or planning to do the same. do you think that's going to have any influence over the take a government? well, it hasn't so far. obviously, as we see from today, the rest of yet the 7 candidate as well as other journalists, civil society leaders. that is the tool that is the easiest for foreign governments to use is revoking diesel freezing financial assets as leaders abroad. the tougher tool would be cutting off trade, cutting off international loans. and it generally economic sanctions.
5:23 am
the problem with that, the dilemma for international banks and for foreign governments is that that could hurt to humanitarian efforts to help the people of nicaragua. so that is always the dilemma with imposing broader economic sanctions. let me ask you about the view of the people of nicaragua and all of this they're seeing their politics change and they have done over the years. with this latest move, how do you think that they're going to react to all of this? well, i think right now there's so much repression. the opposition is cowed. i think people are afraid to go out and protest, given the harsh reaction to the 2018 widespread protests. the surprising thing perhaps, is that the business community has not reacted more strongly against this. daniel ortega made great efforts to have very good child with the business community
5:24 am
after his when he came back to power after 2006. he also repaired relations with the catholic church hierarchy. and with his, even with the united states in terms of his fighting drugs, he's good at fighting combat into drug war. so he has not done like other leaders like socialist leaders in venezuela who has alienated a lot of international ties and a lot of their own domestic business. instead, he's continue to market economy and has as retained allies, and probably about a 3rd of the population of public opinion continues to support him because they do receive benefits from his government. jennifer mccoy is professor of political science at georgia state university, and we appreciate your being on al jazeera mom. thank you very much indeed. thank you. he was, attorney general says 59 people who to part an anti government protests,
