in the next period. 6 months after seizing power in a qu minimize military giantess, naming itself a caretaker, government mingled lie is set to become the prime minister. earlier you promise to lift the state of emergency by late 2023 and hold multiparty elections. tony chang reports from bangkok as an aerobics instructor, dances on the vehicles block of parliament, me and mar capital may be due on february the 1st, but at the general's thought. it would be a bloodless qu, they couldn't have been more wrong. months of bitter resistance and a violent military crack down with nearly a 1000 killed. 6 months later, the military chanters renaming itself a caretaker government. although it appears it will still hold important positions . and the leading general giving assurances,

elections will be held soon. we must create conditions to hold a free and fair multiparty general election. we have to make the preparations, pledge to hold the multiparty general election without fail duty, but is not clear under what conditions those elections would be held. since the qu, the military has outlawed the national lead to democracy and sons who cheese party and rejected its landslide victory in november. new elections would take place under the military emergency laws, which will be in place for another 2 years. min online did say the military would follow the lead of an invoice sent by the association of southeast asian nations. but that invoice has yet to be appointed, and as yet has failed to take a firm line. as events have spiraled out of control, as yet has been divided on ma'am, or in the last 6 months with indonesia, malaysia, and singapore wanting to take a hard line. but the generals here in bangkok appear to be wanting to give the

benefit of the doubt to the generals in me unlock what is a growing concern to the international community? is the worsening curve at 19 situation in the country. more than half of the world population lives in countries bordering mamma, while inside those borders, the bars is spreading unchecked. the qu has resulted in a near total class of the health care system and health care workers are being attacked and arrested. the virus is spreading through the population very false indeed, by some estimate. in the next 2 weeks hall of the population of men more could be infected with coded on the streets of young gone protest. as far as mamma's flags, they say they don't want new elections. they just want the military to step down. tony chang al jazeera bank or millions of people across the us could be forced out of their homes within days after

one of the justices wrote an argument denying renter's relief. but that particular point, but saying in that judgment that there could be no further extensions of the relief, which was introduced originally by the cdc. he said specifically that the only way it could be renewed if congress passes legislation. now that was a month ago, and it's only on thursday that the bite administration suddenly appeared to realize that deadline was looming, cold on congress to pass such legislation. congress is about to go on the autumn break. it attempted to pass the resolution by unanimous consent that was blocked by a single republican congressmen. congress is now gone away for its autumn break. its august break at no sign of weather. it will return to attempt to pass this legislation. so very much a company of areas that has not of impact as he say on millions of americans about

or you sort of human human toll on this attack. now, prime minister enough, daddy bennett, was meeting with his cabinet to do the weekly cabinet meeting to kick off the week . while he said that he had no doubt whatsoever that iran was behind that attack. even though you, ron says that the accusation is baseless. now on saturday, the foreign minister was busy on the phone, he spoke to his romanian counterpart and he also spoke to his british counterpart to give them condolences, but also because he is trying to drum up support. he says that was going on in the, in the gulf of arabia is not only attacking israel, but his is to disrupt commerce international, commercial shipping. so he's trying to drum support through that. we also know that is your is seeking for the un security council to meet urgently you can then

sponsor cut on airways. ah, with sandy beaches, gigi, free shopping, and low taxes. could at tropical island of high non become china's new hong kong. one 0, one east investigate. on al jazeera. ah al jazeera ah ah, all i i wasn't defeated, reminder but help stories this are. there's been intense fighting in lush,

got the besieged capital of a guy, sons, helmand province. african air force has been blamed for bombing a local private hospital killing at least one person. most ruling centers announced the formation of a caretaker government. its leader may lie, will become the prime minister and whose promise multiparty elections. 6 months after seeing power in a crude pains or people across the us before started their homes within days after a nation wide lot of toys. when evictions expired, it was imposed last year to help slow the spread of corporate line teen by using crowding in a homeless approach. i had both sonata. ronnie's been taking place in brazil's rio de janeiro in support of the far right president's proposal to replace the electronic voting system with paper balance both and auto says it's necessary to avoid voter fraud and next to the election. when it came back, it has the latest from rio de janeiro trying to convey the now i have

that the next year's election will. 6 be rig and the, the only way to avoid fraud is to change my chronic voting system, which has been used for the past 25 years. and by which was elected president paper ballots one. now this is because the involves bill, you know, in popularity and the reason it won't show that he would lose next year's election to former brother generally enough to rule of those who from the workers party. so i have to order is want to for the problem is defense ministers also use the military, come out to pressure phone to say that they should go to change the system. and this was not well taken at all was the south, and by the opposition, they see it as the military pressure, you know, cause really bad, bad,

dictators. so this is working now with the opposition taking to the $3.00 to $4.00 times already since may asking for most of them and both. so now also trying to show that he has popularity by having these around. 7 these on the street. so is this a show of force on the street? basically 2 of the biggest covered 900 vaccine manufacturers, pfizer and madonna, have reportedly increased the prices of their jobs for the e u market. the baka has the details is perhaps an unwanted reminder of all the cash flows in the business dealings that underpin the global vaccine rollout. but it is a reminder cause that this is essentially a business that needs to be kept afloat and pharmaceutical companies all out to make a profit, whether it's a large profit or small small profit. and of course,

that raises a whole raft of different ethical questions as well. but according to the latest contract between pfizer medina and the european union, they will be a price hike for the shots in the imminent future, according to figure seen by financial times, the new price for 5, the shot will be $23.00 up from 18. but turn, i will go up to $25.50 up to up from $22.00. 60 this of course the countries are very keen and anxious to stamp out the spread of the delta vary. it also comes with a time in which countries in the e u and beyond the e. u. a mulling the possibility of administering a 3rd dose to bruce the job to improve efficacy so far. only israel has approved use of a 3rd dose, a booster job in the over sixty's when other research is happening here in the u. k

. in britain and other countries may well follow suit. and all of this, of course, means the potential windfall for both and pfizer as well off to phase 3 trials. both of these vaccines have been proven to be more effective than the rivals than the astrazeneca job and the johnson and johnson jobs. so essentially, both of these companies have a captive audience in the european union. european commission, just to remind you, of course, was accused early on of not acting quickly enough when it came to the vaccine rollout. and what it's doing now is proving that it's willing to throw an awful lot of money buying a premium product that is proven to work across the board. according to one figure, he was close to negotiations, said he says of the company to capitalize on the market power and deployed the usual farm rhetoric. essentially, the vaccines work time to ramp up the price. the chief medical advisor to us

president joe biden is wanting more pain and suffering is a hand as cases of covered 19 rise. anthony fall, cheese criticize some republican governors for their resistance to making people wear masks. so a person's individual, individual decision to not wear a mask, not only impacts them, because if they get infected, even though they say it's my decision, if i get infected, i'll worry about that. but the fact is, if you get infected, even if you are without symptoms, you very well may infect another person who may be vulnerable, who may get seriously ill. so in essence, you are encroaching on their individual rights because you're making them vulnerable. sweeping corona virus restrictions are come into effect in pakistan on vaccinated. people are now barred from government offices, schools, restaurants, shopping malls, and commercial flights. under 3 percent of pakistan is have received 2 jobs. the

biggest city karachi is subject to a one week partial lockdown after a sharp increase in covert 19 infections. come, all hide has more from outside of vaccination center in islamabad. progress on it now or a boarding, over $5000.00 cases daily. are the wage, the bulk of them are in the southern province of land and particularly in the city of garage and are just to give you an idea. a month ago, a friend was regarding 500. what your dvd case is on a daily basis that has now gone into thousands. and of course data is concerned that the delta, weightier and richard, far more dangerous and also the fact that a smoke and gauges. i've got to order deep water, but it is going to be, i hear monger star to try to stay with dog restrictions and to enforce the dog restriction. we have heard the board from karachi that a large number of people are now congregating outside the waxen nation centers.

there's been some pushing and shoving, even breaking of glass and doors because the people are not frantically going for the vaccinations after the government announced that a word stop people from traveling within the country and that industry that did not have 100 percent. right. they did work good, we're not be allowed to function thailand as an instance, extending stricter measures is a bottles of force, wave of infections driven by the delta variant. the restrictions will be implemented in bangkok and other high risk areas until the end of the month include cubs and travel mol, closures, and curfews, and sunday reported more than $18000.00 infections and $178.00 death. both records daily highs. controversial changes to hong kong immigration law have come into effect. critic say it will give the government sweeping powers to stop people from coming in or out. beijing impose its national security last year. thousands have

been leaving before it came into force. and as adrian brown reports from hong kong, that figure is still growing. hong kong international airport is a quiet place these days except here, the check in area for flights to london. these people are not going away for business or pleasure though. they're leaving for good feeling, a mixture of anger, guilt, and defense. they're being forced out. this is our home. why do we need to leave? i mean, i have been living here for more than 30 years already and it's my home. so it's really set to leave the home and you see that everything is she's a finance worker and has no job to go to like others who sacrifice careers often for the sake of their children. bolivia. so for many years we have our korean, we have family. yes. i so it's been upset

for for the future of my child, and i think we need to do it the sat scenes and now being played out daily. as more people join a growing exodus from a territory where communist party rule is being tightened. in the past year, an estimated $36000.00 people have left for britain under a special visa scheme. many supported over part of the anti government protest movement, like doc su now in birmingham with his family. he says the change to the immigration law will encourage more people to go. i'm just joking. i think the hong kong government speeds up the immigration plan for many home comments. for us, we did not plan to leave hong kong at the beginning, even after the protests in $29.00 team. like many others, he says he's unlikely to return to hong kong. as city that still regards itself as asia's finest, the government denies the law gives it unlimited powers to stop people entering or

leaving hong kong. insisting the amendment is aimed at screening illegal, immigration at source, amid a backlog of asylum claims. and the people's right to free movement will not be affected. those who go to the u. k. have opted for a new life in a country where koby 19 rates, a soaring, and job prospects scares. yet that seems preferable to remaining here. adrian brown, al jazeera hong kong, large cruise ships with more than 25000 tongues and are banned from entering the center of venice. environmentalists being pushing for the band for years, not raining reports from denise on the impact of the new rule. picture postcard perfection. tourists are back in venice, but they won't be arriving anytime soon on large cruise ships. it follows years of debate about banning mega cruise ships to protect venus's lagoon ecosystem. to

be became much more heated with the arrival in june of a towering 90000 ton ship. the government finally announced the ban in july. after threats from unesco to place venice a world heritage site on its endangered list. the italy is promising to cover last wages for thousands of workers who rely on the cruise industry to keep them afloat. what a movie about it. we hope the government comes up with a way for us to continue a subsidy might last a year or 2, but this decrease has ships won't pass through anymore. we need certainty for our future. you dec now which cuts right through the heart of venice passing by st. mark's square and it's this very artery to which the heat shifts will no longer be able to pass. but that doesn't mean they'll be completely blocked from the venetian lagoon. the plan is to have large cruise ships into the lagoon through

a back channel and dock at the mainland industrial port of margarita. the problem is the port isn't ready to receive crews. passengers like city council medical gasper, the net, they grew up along dennis's canals. he welcomes the ban, but sees it as a distraction because the visible part of the iceberg visible deeper is the big ships, about many other programs and the big ships are not the only one. and what are the problems like that the city is dying them in terms of being a living place with a sense, living side and not having to commute to get the job which can not give it a chance to leave and to see where we are just that to me, that may cojo as part of an organization that lobbied for the band. she sees it as part of a larger push to focus on long term sustainability. all of that would be done not to ship to focus away from accommodating tourism to really fulfilling the needs of the local residents who dip and also the value of

a versity of the lagoon. and on the well being of the whole environment. here the venice rose as a commercial power health centuries ago to the great benefit of its people, finding a balance that keeps coffers full and residents from fleeing will take more than banning cruise ships from its waters. adarine al jazeera venice. ah, this is all. these are the top stories. there's been intense fighting in last, con god, the c capital of off kind of stands helmand province. now got an air force has been blamed for bombing a local private hospital killing at least one person. and rockets of stock kandahar airport in the south. charlotte bella says more from couple fighting is ongoing it and it is incredibly tant, we still videos today of fires burning in the city residents. they telling us that fighting was going door to door and.
