playing to dream music filled the mind money to the outside world and tending his families land the most positive thing that probably brought to my mind. you actually starting doing the hector, begun the music man, mice and bob, we own our just the euro. ah, trinity as president promise is a crack down on corruption, but also consolidates power, backing the head of the state tv channel. ah, hello and welcome peter w. a watching al jazeera lived from headquarters here and also coming up. the us senate agrees to debate a bipartisan infrastructure bill. it's a big win. peru swears in a new president petro castillo,

who has to make big reforms, but he faces fierce opposition. and her predecessor said the virus would be fought with pres, potentially, as president makes a public show in support, affects the nation. ah, jan is his president's demand in the return of billions of dollars in public money . he alleges was stolen from that unity and people in a televised interview. you said indicated a crackdown on corruption cases may be coming. he's accused politicians of hiding behind parliamentary immunity, which he lifted on a sunday june as he is weathering a political crisis. after a fact, the prime minister prose parliament and took over public prosecutions and nationwide curfews in place that included the what we're looking for is for penal

reconciliation. and i call upon the business means, particularly those who own big and small businesses. what the money's been taking by these people must be returned to the tune as you and people have run. and we would want to make reconciliation under pain of law. what these people, those who are responsible for taking the public funds, and we will list these in order of those who are most culpable to those who at least culpable. i'm not one of those who prefer putting people in prison, but i wanted the money to come back and be returned to the people. my mom had jammed room has more now from tunis. well, the message really seemed to boil down to trying to reassure the citizens of tenicia that this is the right path for the country. the president said that to me, deserves to be in a much better place. he said that the country does have financial pressures, but that we are not a country full of beggars. and he also conveyed a message to the people that these exceptional measures that were taken by him.

they were imposed by a sense of duty. and she added that she doesn't fear any one and he will not press any one who talked a lot about the wrong economic policies that have been taken in the past. we talked a lot about corruption, especially by politicians. and he said that those who had looted money, as you mentioned billions in the past, but they were going to be held to account that money would be returned to the community, people by one way or another. now, this is interesting, of course of these remarks are coming today because we just learned earlier in the day that the 3 political parties, including another part of the news and nice to see that investigations had been opened in the last couple of weeks on july 14th actually, on suspicion that these parties were receiving warrant funds during the 2019 election campaign. and of course, is the largest political block and the governing coalition here. that's what we

heard. what we did not hear was, has there been anybody picked to perhaps to become the next into a prime minister? we did not hear about the meeting that the president had earlier in the day with the supreme council of the army is answer your security leaders. well, as mohammed mentioned, there, the precedent statement follows revelations of a traditional investigation into alleged corruption by the 3 main parties. it was opened almost 2 weeks before president used his emergency powers to dismiss the prime minister and to freeze parliament. though the case doesn't appear linked to say, recent actions, it does put more pressure on the presidents. opponents judges are looking into whether in order the largest party in the governing coalition and others wrongly received foreign funds before elections in 20. 19 so much hotter is an associate professor of mentally studies at the university of oklahoma. he says, presidents, i e long wanted to end what he saw as

a dysfunctional coalition. the recent protests over the last months, and particularly the few days before his freezing of the parliament and so on. in addition to the coven crisis course and the economic disgruntlement presented, and in the political stalemate, presented an opportunity for high sight to do something that he wanted to do, maybe for some time. and that is kind of and this dysfunctional relationship, or attempted working. what he can do, and again, this is, you know, the proof is in the pudding. whether to do this is to make real progress on the health situation with regard to coven vaccination, roll out some kind of efficiency as opposed to the chaos that we saw earlier with regard to that, and then make progress on the economy. now those are tall orders and certainly nothing that can be achieved in a matter of days, little, you know,

or months. so that's, that's really a big a big task. but certainly, if things appear to be functioning more efficiently and there doesn't appear to be a stalemate and political rancorous dealings between different political parties for their own ends, which i think is how many tunisians experienced the last month and years blaming the political parties and partially and not for that situation, while the economy deteriorated, while the health crisis got more troubling and so on. if things appear to be moving in a different direction, then he will have succeeded, quote unquote, the us senate has advanced a 1.2 trillion dollar infrastructure package by 67 votes to 32 earlier senate republicans said they've reached the deal with democrats over major standing issues the building, clues, $550000000000.00 in new spending on public works projects. sentences in

a bipartisan group have been working with the white house to move forward with the plan. i think this is a incredible opportunity for us to both improve our infrastructure, which is badly needed make us more competitive. but 2nd, to show that bipartisanship can work, we can get things done in his town. so i'm, i'm very pleased with our ability tonight to move on to legislation and continue to demonstrate them my kind of with more now from washington. certainly this bill is historic as president biden has just described it in the tweet thing. it's the largest infrastructure bill in a century. the president also being vindicated to a degree by his ongoing insistence that even in a deeply divided washington bilateral action is still possible. 17 republicans joined the democrats senators in upon seeing this particular motion. what it means is that the debate on the bill will not proceed having got pass that 60 vote

stronghold that it needs to get the debate on the bill and away. but here comes the problem. and that is that the book has not been completely written yet. they are still items to be added to be rewritten. and the debate that is going to be happening over the next few days is going to center on these issues. and there is the possibility that some who are supporting the process at this point may walk away if something is added or something is admitted that they would want. so it's a long way indeed, before this bill would finally park the senate. and then the next problem is go to the house for approval because the speaker of the house says she will not accept this bill for a vote until the senate except another infrastructure vote. a massive 3 trillion $1.01 that was passed in the house earlier this month. now, after weeks of uncertainty following the disputed election, petro castillo has not been sworn in as peruse. new president,

the former union leader and teacher, took a surprise lead in the 1st round of the presidential election. that in june castillo narrowly defeated, take her for the morning and the run off. she alleged irregularities, but the electoral body rejected the complaints. castillo was left, wing party, wants to rewrite the constitution, and to address inequality that will, that amount of organ. this is the 1st time that our country shall be governed by a peasant, a peasant, like many of the peruvians is from the suppressed classes. it's the 1st time that a popular party formed in the interior of the country i hear democratically on marianna sanchez reports now from lima. the most important thing he mentioned at the very beginning of his speech was that the top priority of his government will be to tackle the pandemic. peru has been very hard hit by depend make nearly 200002 peruvians, have died since the parameter had to make it last year and both and 3000000 people

lost their job. so it is indeed a priority. an opinion polls just a few days ago said that, peruvians believe and think and want the new government tackle the pandemic as the 1st priority. 75 percent of for ruby. i think of this as the most important thing now. he spoken about many of the things he said he would give bonuses, credits to the poor people. he would bring water to poor people who live in, in the shanty towns who don't have water have to pay a lot to the water tanks, which is so important for them. but one of the very important things that he said is that he will respect private property during the campaign. he had said that he would expropriate business, as we would nationalized gas companies or energy companies. he was unable to form a coalition in congress. the opposition lead parties have made that coalition and now they are the ones who are in control of congress. so it will be very,

very difficult, not even difficult. i think you will face road road blocks ahead in order to pass those were forms that he has so much promised. poor peruvians. during all this campaign, thailand reported a record rise in corona virus cases for a 4th consecutive day more than 1000. pardon me, 17000 new infections have been confirmed. the health ministry says just on the half of all new cases were in bangkok and surrounding areas. a lockdown in and around the capital has been in place for more than 2 weeks. cases of covered 19 a surgeon, me and mom and the health care system is not only overstretched, but on the fire. according to the un, more than $600.00 medics of facing arrest warrants at least $67.00 have been detained, and many more have been attacked. florence louis has more. the names in this report have been changed to protect people's identities.

seems like this more common than me and not until wednesday, the crowd of people used to wait for hours to get oxygen for a loved one. suffering from coven. 19 people are worried and scared. there's also been pressure from the military telling people not to keep the oxygen that didn't tell has now imposed a new rules. people will need a letter from the local administrator to obtain oxygen. like much of southeast asia, myanmar is experiencing its worst wave of groan of virus infection and health care system ravaged by decades of military dictatorship is struggling to cope the coo in january and the subsequent cracked down on medical professionals for being one of the 1st groups to go on, strike is turning an already dangerous health crisis, more deadly. probably going to the military, a closing down charity clinics and arresting doctors who volunteer there. they pretend to be patients and the rest doctors,

that toy doctors are on the run. and in hiding, the june has denied carrying out such operation. says doctor wants to keep his identity secret, says he and his colleagues have had to resort to using their phones to give consultations. he estimates at least 70 percent of his patients have tested positive for corona virus. hospitals are not accepting patients and i've heard of soldiers pointing the gun to patients and telling them to go home. they should not be the ones deciding who gets admitted to hospital. some patients are also reluctant to go to government health centers, citing a distrust of military run facilities, many end up self isolating at home. in yang gone, residents hang out yellow flags to show they need medical supplies. hoping volunteers will help. the number of people dying in their homes is increasing blurry ambulance services normally take patients to hospitals, but these days there are more requests to pick up bodies. funeral services are

johnson and johnson injection her predecessor the late john michael fully had dismissed the threat from the virus. he died in march from hunt complications. his catherine joy many times. and he watched this moment with mixed feelings. the president's amused who has been getting how covet 19 johnson and johnson injection a clear departure from the policy is implemented by how predecessor john mcgill fool who died in march from heart problems. was one of the handful of wild leaders who downplayed the threat of the panoramic and shined wild health organization called for masks and social distancing. he also rejected vaccines insisting the disease could be dealt with by prayer and local remedies. when president hassan was wanting, she said things would change. mean me man, i am a mother of 4 children and a grandmother, a wife and president and commander in chief of townsend. you know,

i would not take the vaccine and sacrifice my life if it was harmful. when i have all these responsibilities and people who depend on me, the country is in its dead wave of the disease officially has so far recorded only 29 debts and 858 cases. this is the beginning of a national vaccination campaign. health workers, the elderly, and both with the underlying conditions are on the priority least tons and nea has received more than a 1000000 johnson and johnson dozes the native by the us through the world health organizations, callbacks initiative. i think we are not late because even other developing nations like europe, usa still vaccinating. so i think we all came to me if you got the chance of a cleaning for you and the others will be said to take it. and those who will not like everyone else. it's a personal division. now in africa, only every track and wounded are not vaccinating, but fewer than 2 percent of the african population has been jobs. and it's highly

unlikely the continent will meet a w to target vaccinating 10 percent by september. this is partly because of a shortage of vaccines blamed on western nations holding millions of doses and anti vaccine sentiment, often fewer by conspiracy theories and mistrust. i'm not on my site because there is going to say the think so the like in and i've been to many rumors about it. so i think i'll drive the look and see what happens to them. and that's been, i'll be ready all be willing. townsend here is while behind many countries in vaccination, rape by the government say that had set aside $470000000.00 to secure more duties and hopes we knocked 60 percent of its population. as soon as possible, captain alden 0 still to come here on al jazeera schools reopen in chile,
