government forces, at least 18 people have been killed, and thousands have been displaced. if the worst violence since the government we captured the area 3 years ago. israeli soldiers have attacked the funeral possession of a 20 year old palestinian man who was killed on thursday. and the occupied west bank. i fired rubber coated bullets, stone grenades, tear gas, and through sewage, watered with people mourning the death of chicago was a wad was hit with live ammunition in the head and stomach during the funeral of a 12 year old. also killed by israeli gunfire. and $200.00 palestinian protest as were injured during attacks by israeli forces in the village of beta and south of nablus in the occupied west bank. it happened after friday prayers when palestinians were marching against the construction of an illegal settlement. all posts, they say those are designed to capture palestinian land in the occupied territory. israel has started offering a 3rd shot of the coven, 900 vaccine president,

as i close all and his wife with the 1st to receive the booster. the extra shops will be for people above the age of 60 who received their 2nd dose more than 5 months ago. how the bell, hamid reports from western usage them. for the past few days, there been more than 2000 new cases per day and there is a pose of worry for the government, even though the number of people who are seriously remained quite low. now days really have been saying for quite a while now that they had noticed that the effectiveness of the pfizer by and take vaccine, which is the only one that has been rolled out in this country, has gone down to about 64 percent. when it came to the delta various, even though they kept and always insisting that the number of seriously ill patients is still quite low. but on the right now,

they had already started that 3rd vaccine about 2 weeks ago. but that was specifically for patients with a compromised immune system, patients with a chronic disease. now what has happened today is that both the president and the prime minister and actually even opposition leader, former prime minister benjamin nathan. you know, had, we're filmed taking this 3rd vaccine. nestali bennett, the prime minister telling people, tell your grandparents to go and take that 3rd vaccine, but they only available. but people above the age of 60, who had received their 2nd vaccine at least 5 months ago. an internal report by the us centers for disease control and prevention says the delta, very it is as contagious as chicken pox. a copy of the documents obtained by us media. it shows the variant is more transmissible than the viruses that cause the

boulder. the common cold, the seasonal flu and small box analysis also indicates people infected with the delta variant carry large amounts of nose and throat regardless of vaccination status. the varied is now a primary concern for many countries around the world has come all cent. maria with a look at the data, the more infectious delta variant, the highly contagious delta, very. and you keep hearing it all the time, but we want to have a look at how we can visualize that and even compare it to other variance. got a great website here called covariance dot org, which does just that tracks all the variance. and there are a lot that we are focusing on the main for there, the top of the left hand side alpha, beta gamma and delta. what i'm going to do is run you through them. we just compare them starting with the alpha very. this is the one that started in the united kingdom. the reason you're seeing a lot of lions is because we're looking at as much data as we can from as many countries as possible. what you see a definite trend amongst pretty much all is countries that it went up, it plateaued and it came down again. it's not gone,

but it's definitely gone down. compare that with the beta variant from south africa . quite erratic, there with a lot of countries and it didn't spread to as many as alpha did, but the bulk of them are down here quite low. as they are with the gamma variant, this is the one from brazil, again, not as many countries affected and the bulk of them quite low again. but look at delta delta which originated in india and using a starting point here of april. all it has done is gone up and there is no place having it is still on the rise pretty much everywhere. in fact, looking at this map from out of the dot com, which shows you where the delta variant has spread to over a 100 countries. now, and the concerning thing is when you start looking at the united states, the u. k. russia, singapore, indonesia, even australia, all upwards of 90 percent of their new infections come from the delta variant. oksana physic is

a global health advisor. electra university college london school pharmacy. she believe vaccines are struggling to contain the delta variant. oh, or back mean are still affected. 91 percent preventing hospitalization. the effectiveness at preventing transmission from one another. keep falling rapidly. 41 percent. we know that filters associated more severe cases of co bed and that it is more like to hospitalized asians, there been studies canada to demonstrate this and in other countries as well as singapore, there is much more need for oxygen as well as and of course in india, where this variance 1st emerge. so a lot of that shows that the previous wild strain and other variance of concern are kind of dying out because this is the cheaper variance moment if you will. but it's

not necessarily going to be the last of the raps. there's a world on is going to, isn't, has back needed. they don't have too many vaccines. and that's one side that i'm worried about. because while it means to those who are horrible of israel on to get that talk to protection on their hope, your workers lines and they're double back and we see this the end with loses a new variance. is this the 3rd? this is, this is coming from the y, that's too low and middle income countries. the world trade organization is still not put forward lifting patent measures. so it is going to be difficult for me to supply requirements unless other that the manufacturers join the effort to vaccinate the world. china is banding at 1st major covered 19 outbreak and month hundreds of thousands of people are in lockdown and junk soup province. a cancer of

cases with 1st detected in the regional capital lunging it has since spread to 5 provinces and the capital beijing. now the $200.00 people have been infected since early this month. officials believe it's linked to the don't. the variance, 13000000 people in and around the philippines capital will soon go into the toughest tear of restrictions. once again, the 2 week long will be imposed in manila. next week. people won't be allowed to leave their homes except for essential shopping. a band on travelers coming from 10 countries has also been extended. thailand is banding domestic travel to the terrace halls bought off to cat next month, but foreigners vaccination against coven 19 will still be welcome. the resort island is at the center of efforts to revive the tourism industry, which has been devastated during the past 18 months. thailand was mostly unscathed, by the pandemic, until recently on thursday reported rec, or daily numbers of infections and deaths. and those cases rise time and government

is warning people against spreading what it calls damaging information. tony chain has moral met from bangkok. well, this is, i think, some of a shock to people who are really wishing the gun would concentrate its efforts on trying to resolve the dramatic rises in an infection rate. and that we've seen over the past 3 weeks. nonetheless, the government has published new regulations saying that it will have people who publish misinformation now using the term fake news, potentially as it's described in the law. it says anyone who creates panic amongst the public by publishing information regarding the cove at 19 crisis. now they've actually had these pounds since they introduced the lockdown measures 2 weeks ago, but they've decided to tighten them up to the prime minister. and the person in charge of the digital ministry said they would be enforced. they've asked internet

service providers to shut down the eyes piece of any one they feel is guilty of of doing this. but i think basically there is, it's an indication that that there is a lot of criticism out there about the government. now, italy has fully vaccinated more than half its population above the age of 12. but hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants have been left out. at rainy reports from rome. on a recent evening in rome, a couple of dozen people get their jabs had a pop up cubic 19 center. some are homeless. others are immigrants, clinics like this are the only chance they have to get vaccinated. low final thought and other families. you can't get a vaccine appointments. a health card visit a doctor if you'd like me and your residency isn't sorted out from anybody. across italy, there are more than 600000 people who live in work without documents, many of them migrant farm workers from asia and africa. and for months,

italy has struggled to find a way to reach these communities. it was made more difficult because the delivery of care is handled by italy's 20 regions. so each region has had to come up with its own plan. i don't us feed us, i need audio. i don't a few donkey politi. it's a public health and political challenge. the goal is to provide a service to the last one's in line, migrants who have been totally exploited. and at the same time, when we help our self by vaccinating them, we now regional health officials are partnering with agencies and charities and going directly to these communities, making appointments for people, whether they have national health insurance or not. they're also setting up mobile vaccines centers like this one on the edge of a large immigrant community. and 3 days officials have vaccinated more than 1100 people here, all of the migrant farm workers and 20 percent of them have no legal work papers.

some here, if those without documents, were afraid of being caught out and sent home just by taking the shot. i don't know how that threw up who job translator, one and documented worker told us, he wasn't scared. he just wanted to be safe from cobit 19, but not many migrants are given a single johnson and johnson dos and acknowledgement that they are hard to track down for follow up appointment. some officials though are hoping this is a turning point for italy at the pop up clinic in rome. temporary national health cards are issued. so the vaccination become an entry point to give some for assistance to people that do not have the opportunity to. italy relies heavily on foreign workers to pickets, fruit and vegetables. although regions are trying to vaccinate as many people as they can, there is no national database of how many undocumented migrants have received the shot. that poses

a risk both to the migrants themselves and italians. adarine al jazeera rome was the world was famous, fair to then use broadway, and new york city will soon require customers to show vaccination proof and where mosque lot it will make an exception for children under the age of 12 and others with certain conditions they will have to show a negative test report on thursday, the union, which represents the actors and stage managers that will require cast and crew to be fully vaccination as well. the 1st person to be tried on hong kong, national security law, has been sentenced to a total of 9 years in prison tongue. in kit who was convicted for inciting, secession and terrorism. he was arrested last year for riding a motor bike into a group of police officers all flying a flag, calling for hong kong liberation, and the scenes national condemned. this conviction is the beginning of the end of freedom of expression in the city. emily lau is the chair woman of the international affairs committee of hong kong democratic party. she says the length

of the sentence is designed to send a message is a very, very heavy sentence. and if the chinese government wants to send a signal to the hong kong, people about not reaching the national security law, they have really done it quite successfully. and i think many people are being in jamaica aged and but i just wanted to tell you the game is not over. we will continue to fight for civil and political rights. and in a way, it truly is stressing that in the judgement, there was little mention of the protection of civil and political rights, which are in fact in the national security law. so now people just don't know whether these rights are protected at all the boundaries. i'm not very clear and hence it make people even more vehicle. i think nobody like to see mile and

chaos. that's true. but we also warn hong kong to be what it was not too long ago of sage by granted and a free city. but that is know, many people a very, very wide range in spite of now we have jubilation in the city. about our swimming is our friends is winning gold medals and silver medal in tokyo. but the people are very, very worried. they don't know when they will step on the red line and get arrested and may be sent to jail many, many years. the philippines is restoring a security pack with the us, which allows american troops to train in the country. it was an ounce during a visit by us defense secretary, lloyd austin. the agreement future had been a doubt to the philippines president, rodrigo de tirty, abruptly counselled it last year to me that linda has more. from manila it was

a critical 75 minutes, a face to face meeting in manila between the us defense secretary and philippine president. 3 good 30. it resulted in the full restoration over the fence backed that governance and secures the presence of us troops in the philippines. that brought us the alliance will remain vital to the security. and prosperity of the 2 countries signed to visiting force agreement in 1998. but last year president there to cancel the agreement after his ally and former police chief was denied to us for his involvement in the government's drug war. i know the reason behind that is the department before in the united states have been actually working for the since president to carry the took office in 2016. he has been vocal

about his criticisms of the us and promise to distance the philippines from its long standing. i like to build closer relations with china. richey but china, illegal occupation, and reclamation of territory is controlled by the philippines and other claimants in the south. china sea have put pressure on detectives foreign policy. this is a major score for the bite and administration, not just in the philippines, but also in its asia pacific strategy. secretary austin is the most senior cabinet member to visit south east asia, hoping to increase you as influence in the region aggressively courted by beijing shamella in dog. and i'll do 0. manila lebanon's president says he's ready to answer questions about law says by report explosion. michelle own was quoted saying, no one is above the law. many have been angry that almost a year own no senior officials have been held to account. the blast was caused by

a large quantity of chemicals that had been stored unsafely at the port for years. or 200 people were killed. iraq is facing a water and potentially a humanitarian crisis because supplies from iran and drawing off a rock usually relies on its neighbor for a 3rd of it. supplies that you dam projects have cut that back. of the head reports from the eastern province of the la this is not a field, it's a leak, except there is no water. so grass is growing and feeding the sheep like other water streams in eastern iraq. henry lake has been drying up since iran started diverting with the river flow near its border with iraq. now life in the yellow province is all about drought cannot that were once full of water at all now filled with rubbish. nearby orchards and farms auto withered, dislocated landscape,

iraq had a 1975 agreement for shared water. but that fell apart when the 2 countries went to war. in the 1980s, henry lake used to hold more than 2000000000 cubic meters of water. but because of iran's dam program, it is lost much of that capacity. it is resulted in the yellow river drying up seriously, affecting one of iraq's 2 major river sources. the tigris iraq has been suffering significant water shortages in several other regions with flows of the tigris and euphrates rivers. the country's life lines also obstructed by dams built by turkey, expert se, unless a deal can be achieved on a lot of supplies. hundreds of thousands of her toes of agriculture lands could disappear and that could cause a major population shift in the region. abroad had al jazeera india or province eastern iraq. and the girl in sullen argentina has turned an alarming

a certain number of cases we have addressed. tokyo is officially under a state of emergency as dramatic as that sounds. it's a request rather than a law or an order and it relies on public cooperation. government critics, a carrying on with the games is sending the wrong signals esl, the hampering the message of staying at home by the government by making the game. so if you don't be producing at the most of the up up, the reason that the nothing is going on. and if i were happy here linked to the current increase of the infection, i think 27 new limpid related cases of covey 19 were reported on friday. 3 australian athletes remain in isolation after coming into contact with american po, volts at some kendricks, who's out of the games after

a positive test. i believe those a mixture of maybe a brief hug and handshake from some others, but i don't, i haven't done all the details except it was brief and but you know, again, it's, and we can understand how these things occur. but what's a reminder that we, this is a games that's different than we just can't afford to take that sort of risks. it all means a once in a generation sporting events has the most japanese being reduced to a brief photo opportunity. and the richardson al jazeera, tokyo england crickets, the ban. so it says, become the latest high profile f e. to prioritize mental health of the competition . the will kept waiting all round is taking an indefinite break from cricket. the focus on mental well be and also to fully recover from a finger injury stakes news follows us gymnast simone biles, pulling off of and then pick events and a socket taking a break from tennis for mental health purposes. asian football champions cutters hopes of holding to continental title,
