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 positives 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 comedy of errors that has not been packed as he say on millions of americans. a bela russian sprinter in tokyo says she's safe and under police protection after being taken to the airport to be flown home against her. will. christina,

province. this is what crews are up against and you know, the weather conditions i think will complicate matters here. for example, we're going to walk her temperature into the 40. so there's the city of antalya, the fire is burning, just east of there, and this is what the next 3 days looks like. locking it in to 40 and then those winds will cost up to about 25 kilometers per hour. it's also got low humidity, which is also not helping with that firefight for central africa. we've got storms bubbling up as we head toward gabon and cameroon. on monday, and if i take you towards south africa, we've got some scattered showers for port elizabeth into durban is wall with a high of 20 degrees. that sure weather update. we'll see later. the, the ah, in 2011 al jazeera gains rare access to the young gang film academy. and some of north korea's brightest young stars. what did it take to serve

a national propaganda machine? a compelling portraits of the privileged lives of the countries elite, rewind, north korea. cinema of treme analogy 0. ah, the me you're watching on to remind of our top stories this. there's been intense fighting and lost call god, the disease, capital of stones almond problems. they have come, air force has been blamed for bombing a local private hospital in killing at least one person, families,

routing zone tests, and the formation of a caretaker government ally will become mr. 6 months after season. the cruise is promising. multiparty elections, millions of people across the us could be forced out of their homes within days of a nation wide pause, an eviction expired. and supposed last year to help slow the spread of co. 19 by using cars in the homes. sizes are taking part in a pro shire. both sonata valley and brazil is a real diginero. it's 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 the voter fraud and next election. okay, you're not going have has the latest from the additional we've been trying to convey the have that the next year's election will be rig. and the, the only way to avoid fraud is to change the chronic voting system has been used

for the past. 7 5 years and by which was the legs of the paper ballad one. now this is because even though you suffer when his popularity and the reason will show that he would lose next year's election to former brother generally enough to rule of those whose from the workers party. so i and supporters want this, but the problem is defense minister has also he's the military allowed to press your phone, facebook page that says something, and this was not well taken at all by phone was the south and by the opposition, they see it as a military pressure in a country that has had a dictatorship. so this is now with the opposition taking to the $3.00 to $4.00 times already since may asking for both of us and,

and both. so now also trying to show that he as popularity by having these rallies . 7 on the street. so show a force on the street basically need to have the biggest covered 19 vaccine manufacturers. pfizer and madana have reportedly increased the prices of their jobs for the e u market. the voc as 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 it, 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 probably a short will be $23.00 up from 18 but then 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 you and beyond me, you are mulling the possibility of administering a 3rd dose, a bruce 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 their 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 who was close, the 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 and the 5 she's the chief medical advisor to us president joe biden has warned more pain and suffering is ahead. as cases of covered 1900 rise. and he's criticizing some republican governors who he

says are unwilling to implement more mosque wearing. 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 to run a virus restrictions have come into effect in pakistan, unvaccinated people are now bod, from government offices, schools, restaurants, shopping malls, and commercial flights. under 3 percent of pakistan is received 2 jobs. the biggest city karachi is subjects to a one week partial locked on auto shop, increasing covered 19 infections from our hydro has more from outside of

vaccination center in islamabad. progress on it now or a boarding, over 5000 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, it 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 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 sad 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. we live here, so for many years we have our korean, we have families. so it's a bit upset for for the future of my children. i think we need to do it the sat scenes and now being played out daily. as more people join

a growing exodus from the 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 dark 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 hong kong is for us. we did not plan to leave hong kong. it beginning, even after the protests in 2019, like many others, he says he's unlikely to return to hong kong, a city that still regard 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

effected. 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, and now banned from entering the center of venice. environmentalists have been pushing for the band for years. out of rainy reports from dennis 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. that's to be became much more heated with the arrival in june of a towering $90000.00 ton ship. the government finally announced the band in july, after threats from unesco to place venice

a world heritage site on it from danger to lift. the italy is promising to cover last wages for thousands of workers who rely on the cruise industry to keep them afloat. you know what movie? 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 to deck and come out which cuts right through the heart of venice. passing by st. mark's square and if this very artery to which the heat ships 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 gas by the net, they grew up along dennis's canals. he welcomes the band but sees it as a distraction because

a visible part of the iceberg. visible deeper is the big ships about the 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 the living, the place where the tickets are living in side and not having to come to get the job which can not give it a chance to lead them to see where we are just that that may control as part of an organization that lobbied for the band. she sees as part of a larger push to focus on long term sustainability. all of that would be done not to shift the focus away from accommodating tourism to really fulfilling the needs of the local residents who fans also on the value of a very city of the lagoon and on the well being of the whole environment. here the venice rose as a commercial powerhouse centuries ago to the great benefit of its people, finding a balance that keeps coffers full and residents from fleeing will take more than
