a song at the moment. but 1st that's because it's above the middle in india, capital new delhi. and of course at alarming rise in case numbers. and he was telling us about sort of this pandemic, apparently raging according to the health ministry in india. so what a journey tells you is that we're still not out of the woods. in fact, the government this morning, as you said, has, you know, raise the alarm saying that we need to be cautious with a lot out of the woods. the 2nd wave is to raging. you know, the numbers have been under control. if you see the picture, pan india, the positivity rate is chill under 5 percent. that is a benchmark set by the was, has organization thing that about 5 percent is when you're supposed to be really worried. but there are some worrying. 8 trends, you know, catalogue is one page where, unlike the other states in india, where you saw a steep rise in a peak of cases during the 2nd wave, colonel has had a platter. and that plateau has since continued,

which is why more than half the cases that india recorded overnight have been coming from carola. so many of the case in districts that have seen a rise in cases. but in some places like new delhi, the life has been march. no, so the k. so the situation in india is not uniform. the other thing the government has been worried about is the rising r value, not the r value or the reproductive value indicate how many people it cova creation is expected to further infect. and that number has gone from just below one to 1.2 and the government said that is worrying because that really tells you that we may expect cases to rise and rise very quickly. now, separately, they've been many mathematical models and research about a potential todd, we've now exports all suggesting that we might see a rise in cases across the country in the month of august. and the cases are

expected to peak for current models in around september. but now course these models are view meant that we will not have new variance or mutations like we saw on the 2nd wave, where the data variant really was blamed for the steep in cases. and the horrifying scenes we saw coming out to india in the month of april, may and june of the middle in the indian capital. thanks very much because we'll monitor events or in india let's cross over to pakistan our come all hide sunday by in the shower, the regional capital of card. the bottle cwa come all pakistan hitting a milestone in terms of the vaccination numbers, but the virus is still having an impact in the region where people generally are suspicious of any sort of an okay. lation indeed, suspicion has it then, however, that trend and now reverse because the government has said that if you're going to get wrecked in a day, you're not be able to travel,

you're not be able to attend to all that you mention. but the real concern right now that the government does not want the facility overstretched, air and the lady reading hospital and shala. there is $106.00 beds over patients, $84.00 that are already occupied off of the rent delay. and about $25.00 of them off of them have been already auto renewed, but the main concern is down south that is in the city of god g bucket on economic fall out. and the problem is indeed quite significant. and we have seen a record number and this particular writing numbers. and of course, the goal where delta rate in the hospital is, are dead or what stretch that government has now decided to import restriction from the 3rd of august to the 31st of august. they will be only 50 percent staff in the

office said they will be a restriction on movement, large gathering for a station. so all kinds of page blind in fact head and that type of book while province rear door that an important meeting had done the way and they may decide to go for district wide lockdown if the situation is not rid this, it might not be forgotten or rave, and a very dangerous one at that. of course we'll monitor what happens in the bucket onto the coil. thanks so much. well, hydro force and push our ah! now the capital has been shaken by another explosion. there are defense facility. 3 people have been injured. it comes a day after caliber went on following a gun attack near the home of the defense minister for people were killed. now the blast happen close to the cities heavily fortified green zone,

saying i need you all to evacuation. we're talking tens of thousands of people because we are about to launch a large scale clearing operation of the taliban because they hadn't made many gains . and the 4 days they had been fighting them and they wanted to avoid them in casualties. so they wanted everyone to leave so that they could go straight to street and conduct these bombardments, like they're doing this morning. although a lot of concerns to civilians because essentially by telling them to evacuation, he's for more than to an active conflict zone. and there's also questions about what will become of the city when the battle flesh is over several days and sent me a few weeks now. charlotte, we've been talking about unrest blasts, uncertainty around the country. it's, he's not a cobble. it has been hate. what's the latest? not just on the explosion there, but generally around the country at the moment. security assertion, kara and kara, who had been quite safe, there hadn't been any kind of loss or a text like this month. so last night was the 1st one. but on

a broader scale nation, why the taliban are certainly pushing at a number of big cities, the 2nd and 3rd biggest cities, and i'm going to start a candle, city and herat. both of those cities have had to call an extra reinforcement, special forces. it strikes otherwise, those cities would have been taken by the telephone and race wakes the telephone, making a lot of military games, taking a lot of territory. they now control more than half the country and it's giving them leverage at the negotiating table. and us special representatives on my bill said said just yesterday that the telephone are demanding the lion's share of power in any political settlement. so a lot of the military games playing in to their confidence at the negotiating table . for the ask and government, if you think of say god, they really need to show that they can push the telephone back and compete with them militarily and order to push them to a political settlement that both sides can be satisfied with shall, ability, forcing cobble, thank you now the british navy says hijackers who seized

neighborhoods were destroyed. more than 200 people were killed on august 4, 2020. we saw her thinkers there, her running shoes. we didn't expect or imagined that he will be. at the point, we will will saw her that her sister, jessica worked at one of the roots hospitals. many were badly damaged in the explosion. all the hospital came around to the patient and had to move them to the secured area which turned into a battlefield. we had a few minutes and then because after a few minutes came the, came, came the patients which were wounded and that no one has yet been held to account. families of the victims are up against the political and security establishment, accused of hiding behind immunity. that defeats the very purpose of the very

sense of the ruling floor. and that does not reflect on a dat dish or ability judiciary ability to conduct executive investigation and to ensure accountability for the abuses that committed. it's still not known what caused the initial fire. what is also not known as if the ammonium nitrate was intended for bay root? the ship that carried 2750 tons of the chemical made an unscheduled stop here in late 2013. the cargo was offloaded after the dispute, but it's also not clear if most of the stockpile within the warehouse, when the explosion happened throughout the years, top officials, military and security officers knew about the dangerous chemicals and did nothing about it. human rights watch says they also miss characterized the danger posed in communications with the judiciary. we found that the emissions and actions of

lebanese government and security officials constituted a violation of the right to life under international law. and there appears to have been attempt to disguise the true identity of the owners of the ammonium nitrate. i'm the ship and why the ship came to lebanon in the 1st place. a year on a route is still a broken city. yet to recover from one of the largest non nuclear explosions in history, then there was ita beta. and you see a special program by say no on the disaster. it's called bay root search for and says here on al jazeera, on wednesday at $2330.00. you can also view the program on a website that out there, a dot com, and on youtube a murder investigation has been launched after a vocal bella, russian activist was found dead in ukraine. italy shot land, a group that helped people fleeing persecution from president alexander lucas shank of government. under simmons has moved from london. italy,
