as the number of cupboard 19 cases surpasses 35000000 in the us. the delta variant continues to be the dominant, more contagious strain of an already deadly virus. hospitals in states like nevada, mississippi, an arkansas surging is mostly unvaccinated patients infected with a delta variance seek treatment. with the push to get more people vaccinated, increasing and urgency, there's a renewed effort to treat the vulnerable over before. no, god, no, i swear i think i've been stayed in this house to the house bound. all those to afraid to go outside programs like this or a potential lifesaver. forget all the stupidity, all the, all the anti vaccines and all that and where they get their information that is completely wrong. so i knew a lot of nurses and in my family and stuff and everything. so and people died. so it's just the way it works in florida,

which so its highest number of daily cases on record. last week, testing sites, a once again, seeing long lines. this state now accounts for one in 5 new cobit cases with hospitalizations hitting a new high according to the department of health and human services, more than 10000 people a currently being treated here. many of the younger than seen before. despite those staggering numbers, the states governor is refusing to mandate mask orders or allow local officials to put restrictions in place to prevent the spread of covered 19 there'll be no restrictions and no mandates in the state of florida. meridian have been are, and will remain free to choose what's best for themselves and their families. in stark contrast, officials in san francisco announced a new mask mandate regardless of the vaccination status. louisiana 2 is reinstated

its mask mandate effective from wednesday. but despite the di warnings, large events are still being held across the us. officials say another round of tight restrictions is unlikely with only around half the adult population fully vaccinated the course to increase that number a growing while vaccinated people can spread the virus if they get a breakthrough infection. the odds of them getting sick in the 1st place are far lower than those who are unvaccinated. and in fact, places with more vaccination generally have less to be. over the past 3 weeks, the pace of vaccinations have steadily risen, particularly and mostly southern states that were lagging that many. this later search is a tipping point and a realization. the vaccines are the only way to beat the virus. and to galico al jazeera miami, florida, and outbreak of several 100 cases of the delta variants in china is forcing millions of people into brand new corona, virus llc downs. katrina,

you has more from by g. this represents a huge challenge of the chinese government. this is the worst outbreak that the country has seen and months, and it's taking place during the peak travel period of the summer holidays. now the authorities have said that there have been more than 370 positive cases identified over the last 2 weeks. 7 of the cases are critical. now the prior z at the mormon seems to be preventing the outbreak through growing in the capital of beijing. there been only 6 cases identified here so far, but sort of acted very quickly. thousands of people are already under locked down in 3 different neighborhoods. authorities have also clamped down on any transport coming in from highly affected areas, so they've cancelled trains buses and flights coming in from those areas. and if people want to travel to aging from those areas, they're going to have to do call the tests and also quarantine for at least 2 weeks . now overall,

most of these cases have been identified in the city of non j. now that's a southern city. it's quite a big city, close to shanghai, 9000000 people there. so they didn't find more than $200.00 cases. and they've conducted mass testing of these 9000000 residents. now all of this, this whole brick is linked to nothing's international airport with a group of cleaners. also to have been the 1st who have been infected, they were cleaning a flight, which state media says came in from russia. and after that, we've seen this outbreak grow, but alarmingly, authorities have also identified another possible super spread cluster. and that's in the southern province of hu, not one of china's most popular tourist destinations. john georgia, which was the place for hollywood movie avatar was filmed now, 2000 people were attending a theater performance. and they have been several cases linked to that, that performance. so traces are working very hard to identify and track all those

people who attend attended that performance. israel supreme court has adjourned. an appeal brought by full palestinian families against their forced expulsion from the shank geron neighbourhood in occupied a stories fillum, if the families last legal chance to stop them being forced out of a homes have lived in for decades. dozens of people in shank gerad are under thrash of addiction, but not all of them. a part of this case holder abdel, hama is following development for us from west salem, where she spoke to the lawyer representing the family. whether it's been a very long session and several things happened during that session. the judge trying to find the promises between the 2 side. so those, the families living in church, i were facing for expulsion and the settlers now the judge had put forward an idea that the palestinian family sign a paper that land below the salary in return they have guaranteed read in that

house, quoted the 3 generations. i have with me here the lawyer, mister sammy. he has been representing the family that he can tell us what has been happening in this session. it was indeed a very long session just was very long day we were invited to come to court, but i live in 30. we were here before 11. now it's up to 5 o'clock. we just finished decision. it was a long day. it was very thin. but i can conclude that for us, it's a good fit for board because the court had our argument. the judges indicated that there will invite us for a 2nd hearing that did not reject our appeal. yet this is a good indication. we hope that the judge will continue to listen to all arguments and took into consideration the new division we submitted. the end of the day

concludes in favor of this is just that evidence. thank you again for that would would show that though that lag was being transferred to the family judge except that the evidence that we submitted to court include also your document. the judges did not accept anything. the judge's decide that they will decide later, but we have our argument and also they have looked at these documents. we hope that at the end of the day they will consider the documents. specifically, i'd take them into consideration a referendum in mexico on whether to investigate the form of president for corruption has failed. because not enough people watch it. john home and reports from mexico city. the the referendum and met on sunday, sunday, groundbreaking, a boat to decide whether to go off the 5 of the countries ex presidents, the corruption in the end, it was

a spectacle. only 7 percent of the electra voted 9 out of 10 of those. you did the boat to bring never actually to trial. you can feel the most important that i think that the most important thing here is that the unity ceases in this country. the 40 percent of the electra vote for the referendum to be legally binding. it fell for sure most met. i do believe that corruption has been prevalent and passed administration, but many of why should have both be needed for justice to be done. just as i believe that the people should not be consulted on whether to prosecute a president or not, the government should just apply the law especially as met cruise constitution already allows for its presidents to be prosecuted. opponents of current president under, as men will look over the doors, said this was just political theater in turn, his party accused electoral authorities but not putting out enough ballot boxes or information for the referendum to be a success initial national. so that, but it's,

it's not a question of budgets, but as well they didn't have enthusiasm for the vote and they don't have in these the, as for democracy. the main question of the referendum was also changed by the countries supreme court ruled. it wasn't legal direct, we all spoke to the past president. we tried at the start, it seemed pretty clear you want to do dish, read to investigate these men. but it turned into something quite different. have a listen. all you are all you know, in favor of the pertinent actions to take a process of shedding light on the political decisions made in parties by political actors. it goes on, but you get the idea. it gets pretty hard to see what you're actually voting on. so now it's too low, but what if anything, with the referendum main heading food? my general impression is that the precedent does not want to start as something similar to a transitional justice process. even thought he promised that during his

campaign. and my fear is that if he had not done this during the 1st 3 years of his mandate, that he's not going to change with a referendum in which only 7 percent of the relation participated. there is some talk of a truth commission to deal with a wide variety of past transgressions. if that's form ms. effective will probably have less to do with this though the will of the president john home. and i would just say to mexico city, a bell russian sprinter has been given a humanitarian base by the polish embassy in talk here. after seeking political asylum, christine and him off sky, said tame, manages, trying to force her to fly home after she complained about her coaches. laura bird and manley has moved christina, criminal of sky unlikely, expected this kind of media attention while competing in the 200 meters sprint at the olympic games. but instead,

she found herself seeking asylum at the polish embassy in tokyo. that solved, she criticized her coaches for trying to place her in the 4 by 400 b to relay without her consent. it's an event she hadn't trained for. she says she was then forced to go to tokyo, had he to airport and sunday was she all japanese police to help her seek us? finally, i'm asking the international olympic committee for help. there's pressure against me and they're trying to get me out of the country without my permission. so i'm asking the i o. c to get involved in this. and the i o. c did intervene, spoke to the virus athlete. christina simon simon, new sky. directly last night, she was with the apple store. it is a to airport and was time accompanied by a staff member of tokyo. 2020. she assured us and has assured us that she feels safe and secure. the problem began up to the bell. russian athlete was drafted into

the race after her team members were ruled ineligible. the berries national olympic committee hadn't fully protocol and its drug testing bought her head coach and some of the team members say tim last guy left the competition because she suffered from mental health issues. and then we did our school. she stood out for her behavior. we have known her for a long time and there was something wrong with her. she secluded herself sometimes and sometimes she didn't want to communicate. we have a young team who are very hard cheats. we were getting some signal was that something was happening to the go under your cook with them. we have seen her anxiety some chaotic move. something was bothering her in the beginning of the limpid game, so she was keeping quiet and calm me, but then there was some actions which disappointed all of us. all the supporters and when did our country the bell? russian government has not commented imposed decision to help similar skies. but

right to say many athletes, bel roost, have been detained and excluded from national teams. yeah, it follows laws he is mass protest against president alexander lucas. shanker disputed election victory back in tokyo. tim last guy said she was deprived of her right to compete, but at least for now, she saved him the polish embassy, and she hoped they can help to secure her future norbert among the outer syrup. ah! this is al jazeera and these are the top stories, at least the ice people have now died in turkey, where high winds in temperatures above 40 degrees celsius. fanning was 5000 have been evacuated from their homes and tourists forced from the hotels.
