chinese authorities are trying to contain an outbreak of the delta very of covert 19, which is spread to half the provinces in china in 10 days. at least 6 regions have completed mass testing and people are being told not to leave their home city. between a you reports from beijing. the changing the highly infectious delta variant has broken through china's strict curve. 19 defenses, closed borders. strict locked downs and mass hefting has not been enough to prevent the countries worst outbreak in months. hundreds of cases had been found in more than 30 cities. in 16 provinces, china leaders say the capital waging must be protected at all costs. several neighborhoods aren't locked down. after sections were discovered last week. flight trains and buses from affected areas have been suspended for residents have been warned not to leave. the city to weak. quarantines have been imposed. large scale

events has been cancelled and public than use ordered to limit capacity. contact tracing. teams have been mobilized where i d, g, d confirmed close or secondary contacts will be current in. those will leave and work with them will be banned from joining any gatherings. and also subject to close move management by their workplaces or local community, etc. and then the outbreak originated early last month in the southern city of non ging airport janice's tested positive after cleaning a flight which arrived from russia. the cities, more than 9000000 residents underwent 3 rounds of testing in 2 weeks. authorities have identified a possible supers better event in the tourist hotspot of jungle jet was several cases were linked to a theater performance attended by 2000 people. the attraction has been shut down and tourists told to stay away. up until july, much of china had recorded the record of our cases. the apparent success had been a source of national pride, but this latest flare up of the delta,

very interest in question. agents. corbett, 900. thank you. and put more pressure on the nation's back steam roll out the chinese current strategy of 0 tolerance. shooting, prove, we must learn to co exist with the corona virus. we need to accept that it's impossible to be completely free of the verizon for a long period of time. health officials say more than 1600000000 vaccines have been administered so far, but they want to be vaccinated may not be enough to avoid catching the delta strain . the government has begun vaccinating children and is considering offering booster shots to vulnerable groups. the outbreak titans, china's economic recovery, and its ability to horse spectators during the 2022 winter olympic games last year president, she didn't pain declared victory over covered 19 a declaration. it seems that was premature. katrina,

you al jazeera dating thailand has extended locked dimes in the capital in 2 dozen other provinces as a delta very and pushes up the number of cases. 29 provinces are being classified as dark red zones. people in these areas, a band, some traveling to other parts of the country and the muster be a strict curfew timelines. also experiencing a major vaccine shortage. tony chang's monitoring developments from bangkok. the government's been quite secretive about where the shortage is coming from. but what we've seen over the course of the last couple of months is that signed by a son to the company, which has been licensed by astrazeneca to produce the vaccine. here in thailand, i should mentioned is not just for tyna, but it's for many countries in se asia has been running well below capacity. the astrazeneca in secret papers released have defended themselves, saying that they were initially did the orders that initially came for the tiger.

will much lower than those that are now needed. but side by side was also a company, which was a controversial choices, a vaccine producer, because it had no vaccine production experience. that said, anyone here in thailand who criticized the process will tries to investigate it is finding themselves in quite a lot of trouble because it is a company which is ultimately owned by the king. and if you criticize the company, you in effect criticize the king. but i think we're seeing now the problem of putting such a vital vaccine production in the hands of a company that isn't very experienced because lots of people are being told not just here in bank. oh, but around the country. their appointments for vaccines are being postponed. indefinitely, we have seen this happen in the last couple of weeks and more productions come up. we understand that the thai government is seeking vaccines from elsewhere. they've already signed deals with pfizer madana. but we're not expecting major shipments of

those to vaccines to come in until the last quarter of this year. and i think at the moment they're just trying to concentrate their efforts on the urban centers, where the delta veteran is a real problem. in k, i want to take you back to cabal. now there is a large explosion which has taken place outside the home of the minister of defense architects. and to get to james base is there, he's joining us now. james, what's been happening? well, rob since spoke to half an hour ago, we as she packed up from the office to go off for the evening. and i was actually in a car with some of my colleagues driving and we were getting close to the defense ministers home. in fact, there was heavy traffic and we were going to take a short cut past the defense ministers home. and we were, i would estimate between 3 or 400 meters away from that building. when we heard a very loud explosion, we saw sparks in the air and a great big plume of smoke. i can't tell you what has happened in terms of

casualties there. certainly we heard gunshots immediately afterwards, and that's because just for our own safety, at a circumstance like that, you expect there's a possibility of a secondary explosion. so we made our way back to our office here to report this to you. but what is clear? i think from what we heard, it was very loud explosion because we were extremely close to it. but i think the estimation of myself and also my colleagues who, who have to live with this sort of thing on a regular basis enough kind of stuff is that it probably was some sort of suicide. vast that was exploded rather than the car bomb. because although it was loud, i think it would be louder if it was a vehicle for an explosive device, say no idea yet of the injuries if there were any. and exactly what has happened while the defense minister bisman le khan was whether he was in his house at the time. it was reminding you that business con,

was only recently made the defense minister. but he's a very well known figure, very prominent voice enough going to stop very anti taliban voice. he has a veteran commander. he was the army chief of staff with his time as a veteran commander goes back way beyond the last 20 years. when the americans were here in afghanistan and he was a key member of the no, no lions with arms shot masoud fighting against the taliban. and before that fight, he gets the soviet union. james, if this turns out to be a bombing in many ways, it's not really a surprise is a given the amount of military activity we're seeing as we were talking about earlier in last god, but also in other parts of afghanistan. yes, you're right. but on the other hand, it has been pretty quiet in the capital city for some time. and that is because i think there are 2 things going on. there's what's happening in around the country. and there's what's happening or not happening in doha, with those talks. and remember that technically,

both sides are still in peace negotiations. the african government and the taliban . the talk that those piece talks are going to resume in the next couple of weeks. so there's been a law here in the capital city in cobble and most of the fighting has happened in recent weeks in rural areas. what's changed, i think in the last couple of weeks is the taliban of started to push a provincial capitals. and in the last few days started to push in some of the big cities of afghanistan in kandahar we've seen fighting going on inside the city, not at the very center of the city, but inside the city in harass we've seen fighting going on in the 3rd city of i've got a son to the west navia iranian border again fighting. they're taking place between herat city and herat airport. the african government that say they made progress, they pushed the tell about back, but it's clear there's still a tell about presence in harass or during all this time it's been quite in cobble.

it's been peaceful in cobble people. i've spoken to have said thank goodness that it has been so quiet in the capital city something the capital hasn't seen for some time. but certainly we've had an explosion in the last 40 minutes notes or 30 minutes even. and there's no doubt i think from, from those that actually saw it, and i include myself in that, that it was a bomb going off. james, thanks very much. indeed. that seems based talking to some people. obviously more information is going to come out in the coming hours. but for now, james, thanks very much. so testers have gathered on capitol hill in washington dc to voice their concerns after a nationwide model toy him on rental evictions expired this past weekend. that means you people across the us that at risk of being forced out of their homes. i did, jo, cash was joining us now with more from capitol hill. heidi, we saw senators coming back into to have a debate and more meetings on the infrastructure bill that was happening on sunday, but we haven't seen anybody move my moving anything as far as the eviction notice

and are concerned what's going on with this. yeah, and that's, that is exactly what's fueling the frustration of those protesters for sitting on the steps of the capital behind me. they are a few but very dedicated who have been staging a sit in of sorts here for now several days because that eviction moratorium expired across the united states at midnight sunday. and since then, the fear is that there are 7000000 americans who have been late on rent and 3000000 who say they fear of an immediate eviction. and now without this federal protection, as the business we can proceed, there is a fear of a tidal wave of evictions going through courts across the country in congress, however, that it seems like the ship has sailed on that front. the democrats who are part of this protest are protesting that the house of representatives adjourned for its

august recess without having completed the passage of an extension of the eviction moratorium. meanwhile, the senate is now focused, as you said on that infrastructure bill and no longer on the agenda is the eviction moratorium. now there is a lot of blame being put on multiple friends. the protesters are blaming house leaders for not calling the house back into session to continue pushing forward legislation to extend extend the eviction moratorium. but those house leaders are saying that it was the white house who did not give you enough notice to congress to take action because it was just last thursday when the white house announced that it would not unilaterally extend the eviction moratorium. and meanwhile, the white house is saying that it is the supreme course fault, if you would,

because of a june june opinion that said, in order to extend the, the eviction band there would have to be action by congress. so it is circular thinking here is circular action. meanwhile, again, millions of american ad danger of being put out of their homes. heidi, thanks very much indeed. does heidi joke house to talking to us from capitol hill? canada and united states have been swept with a wave of shame and anger. it sent out a mass graves but uncovered of indigenous boarding schools across the country for more than a century. tens of thousands of native children were shipped off to government boarding schools. and as rob runnels reports from the us city of mission in the south dakota because enormous damage. these are the ruins of an old native american boarding school on the rose bud reservation in south dakota until the 1900 seventy's. more than $350.00 such schools were set up with the explicit goal of eradicating native american culture. erase and replace. erase language replaced the

english erase spirituality, religion replaced with christianity by 1900. more than half of all native children lived in the strictly regimented institutions. corporal punishment, physical punishment, malnutrition, certainly we know, sexual abuse. they were hellish institutions by any definition of the term. no one is sure how many children died in the system. recently the remains of 9 lakotas children who died at a school more than a century ago were returned for burial on their native land. the boarding school system not only did harm to the children who were caught up in it, it also severely damaged native american societies. with the facts that have been felt generation after generation. native american youth commit suicide 2 and a half times more than the general population. the rate of alcohol and drug abuse

among native americans is higher than for any other group. they have lower life expectancy. there are many reasons for these problems. but boarding schools played a role. recently us interior secretary, deb holland, herself a native american announced and an official investigation into the boarding school program to promote spiritual and emotional healing in our communities. we must shed light on the unspoken trauma of the past. no matter how hard it will be to jungle or yacht a la cotto member, lin cologne says her own mother never had a chance to learn parenting skills during her youth in a boarding school. well, just missed out on learning from their own home and learning from their own families on being so simple as showing affection her niece desta, cologne, reflects on the pain the system caused her family. because of the way my grandmother was treated in these schools, it caused

a lot of abuse between my mom and her siblings growing up because my grandma was really never truly taught how to love somebody or to be loved. many native americans take pride that despite the efforts to erase them, they survive. to simply say, that boarding schools in that were colonialism have broken native societies. it's not true. there are distinct cultures live on in the lands that have always belonged to them. rob reynolds al jazeera on the rose butler code, a reservation. south dakota still had an odyssey flying high, one of the biggest things that the big stakes gold in tokyo action to help with jo ah,

brought to you by accenture, that there'll be change. the news with me brought to you by extension. let there be change.

oh i hello everyone. it's been an incredible day of action at the top, carolyn picks, jamaica is elaine thompson herrera has repeated had double gold metal success from rio. 5 years ago. she already won the 100 meters in tokyo and stormed to another victory in the $200.00. it was the 2nd fastest time in history, christine boma of namibia took silver ahead of gabriel thomas in 3rd and richardson within the stadium for the re. well, we may not have you sign both here in the car, but we do have another jamaican sprint. superstore. elaine thompson, her winning the 200 meters, adding that to the 100, meet the title she wants to few days ago. so doubling up on the 10200 just as she

did rio in 2060 in silver metal position. christina boma, of maybe a really interesting case with her, jeter, her naturally occurring testosterone levels. she's not only out to compete in the 400 meters. he switched to the 200 meters just a few weeks ago. now he, she is as an olympic silver medalist as to thompson, hara well forward fitness permitting, she will be going again at the paris 2024 games for both style 3 pete winning, the 102083 consecutive olympic games. harris is a lie. yes it is in the books was taken a year by year, which i'm looking forward for our championship title before paris. now on wednesday, she found her son will continue with her unprecedented tokyo asset that dutch runner aiming to win the 1505010000 meters. something has never been done before. she's already won the 5000 meters. she from the 1st aid of the 1500 meters,

which so her falling on the final lap. she still liked the chance to get up to south down and get through to wednesday's semi finals. if she gets through that semi final, then the final for the 1500 is on friday and then the final of the 10000 meters is on saturday. she'll have 6 middle distance races in 8 days. also coming up on wednesday, the final of the men's see 100 meters, the big favorite for that is american. know eliles, but he almost blew it in the semi fun is look to be cruising to victory east off in the final few straw. i got caught on the line, finished 3rd, but just squeeze through as one of the fastest loses. so he will have the chance to add to his world championship gold medal. he won in doha in 2019 and go for that. a lympics title on wednesday. well, earlier on tuesday we so one of the performances of these to carolyn pagan, came in the men's 400 me to hurdle says no ways carlson war home mashed his own world records when gold in a time of 45.94 seconds

a to time world champion beating you re benjamin and brazil allison the sun tow was a month ago that we're home broke the record set by kevin young, 29 years ago at the boston and then picks incredibly. he shaped another note point 76 seconds off. that time because the 1st month break, 46 seconds to put that into context. that is only around 3 seconds slower than the 400 meters record, where there are no hurdles and spare a thought for i benjamin in 2nd, who also broke the world record. in fact, 6 of the 1st 7 finishes sets, national or continental records. and in the press conference afterwards, even the competitors can believe what they've done. we don't respect for athletes. i think there's lot of athletes that are not that good. i will, can only because you know, right. and you've been running $4617.00, you know, it would be cervical metal under and it's crazy and also, you know, all is on running super times it's, i think it's just an honor to be to be

a part of it. and i never thought in my wildest imagination that they will, that this will be possible. ah, me, i would say this was probably the best race ever in olympic history. i don't think any other race compares to what we just did about 2 hours ago. as, as soon as on deniable lighting, there's nothing you can compare to what just happened out there. 459 over the hurdles. 461-4672 it's, it's an insane. so i would say it was the best race ever in olympic history. earlier we face a journalist, jonathan gold, watch the rice life to see costs more home. take point 76 of a 2nd will record well record in the spring for not broken by that much anymore. i mean 2021,

and i'm running this event prob 120 years. you just don't see breakers of that magnitude and for him to do it on the biggest age imaginable. and then from right, benjamin nelson, the centers. right. bedroom. well, under the previous record, i was under sent those mis billable record by point to just phenomenal. one of the most amazing incredible races i've ever saying, you know, it's always hard to place these things in context immediately. but this will go down as an iconic rates in the history of olympic track and field along with you sample 9.69 in beijing. and david reduces one or 2.91 in the 800 meters in london. it belong to that conversation. and very well may be the greatest race with ever seen. he smashed the world rec, worn by a greater percentage than you same bowl and a did. so he's got to nowadays i think that the next bolt thing over bolt replacement thing that's never going to you're never going to get another you same bowl, but cost more home himself is

a fantastic at least and really and painting athletes a watch. so yeah, of the bulk comparison is fair for anyone to try and build but massive star, and hopefully we'll get even bigger off this form. it's another of the big names monday to plan to one the gold medal in the poll vote. the 21 year old from sweden, when it comfortably is the only man to place me to. but he failed 3 times to break his own world record for me is 18 while cham, who, sam kendrick, wasn't able to compete up the contracting coven. 19 off to take a break to focus on her mental health us dollar. gymnast simone biles returns to when a bronze medal, the 24 year old finish behind 2 chinese competitors in the balance beam. final files had previously pulled out of 5 other events in tokyo. she leaves with the silver and a bronze to go with the full gold medals. she wanted the rear games in 2016. so yeah, well to bring the topic of mental health, i think it should be talked about a lot more, especially with athletes because i know some of us are going through the same

things and we're always told to push through it. but we're all a little bit older now. we could kind of speak for ourselves, but at the end of the day, we're not just entertainment, we're humans. and there are things going on behind the scenes that we're also trying to juggle with as well. on top of sports, football spectators been shut out. the lympics over in the u. s. and limited number of fans have been lounge into baseball gangs. one got close to the action than the rest. a praying mantis got a bug side view of washington's game against philadelphia when it hitched a ride on victor. robles pat. it stayed there for about 2 innings. as you can see it didn't seem to bug the capitals outfielder. all right, that is all useful for now. back to rob. joe, thanks very much indeed. let me just bring you some more on the breaking news that we had on this are from the us. the pentagon is currently locked down with no personnel allowed outside because of a shooting event that's happened outside the building on a bus platform. we're getting reports of at least 2 gunshots. this is obviously a picture from outside. you can perhaps see some of the emergency vehicles there.

the pentagon has is approximately $24000.00 military and civilian employees were going to be back in a couple of minutes with more to buy. ah ah ah ah ah ah, ah crime that shook japan, or people get killed on one occasion in as bloody a massacre as this was attracts a lot of report. there was just a current drum. the who did it, who did it, who did it? have the conviction that led to the world's longest hell. that's roper's. and his sister's 47 year long battle to save him from execution. witness. how come

adam, japan's death row on a jazzy data? it's the you case, biggest hospital with eventual capacity for 4000 covet 19 patients built inside a london conference center. it took just 9 days to construct with the help of army engineers dramatically expanding the critical care bed count and other similar sites on the way the actual london numbers could be much higher than advertised researches say that huge gaps in testing capacity that the government is now trying to close, extrapolate that across the country and the spread of corona virus appears far wider than any one thought. the height of english football lies analytic market for the rich and powerful one of the leading specialist work under cover. just years investigative unit exposes the inner workings and key players in the murky underbelly of will finance. for me

to tell some people, in addition, it has been said that you can make an elephant disappeared. i have many of the brazen example i see the men who sell football on as i told afghan military commander order civilians to leave and last cause god as the army plans to flush shouts taliban fighters. ah no, no about this. and this is a life and also coming up a huge fire threatening homes in the outskirts of the great capital. we'll go live for the latest accusations from our rights group that the death of a bell or.
