hello, i'm emily anglin. this is al jazeera alive from joe. how are coming up? the taliban says it's to blame for cop on, targeting the defense ministers and warns of more tags. the battle against one of turkeys was ever while finds goes on with blazes across other parts of europe for many to leave their home and mexico tags. i'm at major us gun companies to tracing 17000 homicide to american women. i we've again, we've 11 on where a day of solemn memorials have turned into protests as people marked a year since a huge explosion that by roots port it killed more than 200 paper and left to

thousands more injured or homeless. the countries still waiting for answers while the state has been in a state of political and economic breakdown. zayna coda reports from by roche, or any of us. they mark the minute their city exploded. they read the names of the victims of one of the largest non nuclear blasts in history. a year on a route remembered the port explosion that destroyed so many lives aaliyah outside the blasts site, where thousands of tons of ammonium nitrate blew up families of the victims. the survivors gathered to demand justice and accountability in the justice isn't just the demand of the families of the victims. but of all of the lebanese people, we want to know who brought in the explosives to the port. we want to know who allowed for their unloading, who withdrew quantities of these explosives from the port and where it was sent. we

are here to launch an appeal to the countries of the world. we urged the international community to come and save lebanon, because the world cares not our own officials. the world is beginning to listen to the pain and suffering of the lebanese people, not our own officials. it's been difficult making sense of their loss more than 200 people were killed among them children. so far, no one has been held responsible for unsafely storing ammonium nitrate with flame mobil. materials at the port warehouse in the heart of the city for years. at the fire department, a kilometer from the port, the families of the 1st responders believe their loved ones were sent to their almost certain deaths. they weren't told of the dangerous when called to put out the fire. rather, the here to fight is going to the port a had no fear, had nothing but they want people. they want to help everyone. and this is what

you're trying to do to move all these positions. criminal, killed our brothers attempts by the lead judge in the case to be taught to start the process of prosecuting some of those believed responsible has been delayed by political interference. but some have hope that change is coming. i think today isn't the new start over start for a new 11 on we believe strongly that this is what we have been waiting for. the our next step is the elections in may 2022. we feel that for the 1st time this is showing the, the, our, the political class that people are no longer following dominant. following the ceremony, protestors headed to parliament to demand parliamentary and other official. immunities are lifted to allow formal questioning to happen. this is not just about justice and accountability. many lebanese have this and you say they believe the

political class has not just destroyed the city but destroyed the economy and failed to build a thing. there is anger. the port explosion was one of the most traumatic experiences for a country with already a dark past. it may have exposed the decades of corruption and mismanagement, but lebanon will not wake up to a new country. the battle for justice hasn't been won. the battle against the accountability has at least for the time being center for their elevator, beirut mcdowell, is a professor of communications at the american university of bay route. he explains the persisting angle surrounding the timeline of events, ammonia, nitrates were supposed to be in lebanon, where stopped and let them on, then a lawsuit part them. then for some reason they offloaded the product and placed it in the port for 6 years in the back and forth with judges. and the company didn't

claim them. no one wanted that product. so obviously it looks like a place to have them settle 11 on the president, the prime minister, 3 different prime ministers and ministers of transportation. they all knew about that, all the intelligence agencies, it looks like there was a massive conspiracy to keep that secret hidden despite the dangers of it. and that is the reason why everyone is so angry that it is so clear that everyone knows about it. no one there to approach it, because obviously there was an attempt to sell that product to smuggle that product to malicious, to people using weapons. probably in theory probably has been low, but these are the major accusations, and that's why people are angry. why did a, the 3rd biggest non nuclear explosion in the history of mankind happened and 11 on . so it is, murder is not. negligence is murder. they knew what it was,

then you where it was, was dead for 6 years, and they were operating on it. and you can say, a special program by al jazeera is zayna hota on the disaster by roots search for answers coming up right after this program. and on thursday, at 1430. james, you can also watch the program on our website out to 0 dot com. and on youtube. oh i taliban. his warning of more attacks against top afghan officials. an explosion near a defense facility and carnival on wednesday, came just hours after a car, bomb blast, and gun battle needed defense ministers. house. the taliban says it was responsible for that attack. meanwhile, violence continues in the south of the country. diplomatic editor james space has moved in recent hours,

the world health organization says country should white to africa the 19 same versus it's an appeal mostly aimed at wealthy countries that have far i paced the developing world. the w h. o says which nations have administered 100 doses per $100.00 people can pay to just $1.00 and a half doses per $100.00 in poor once a week or not. and we should not accept countries that have already used most of the global supply of vaccines using even more of it, while the world's most vulnerable people, remain unprotected. julie fisher is an associate. we're 3rd professor of micro biology and immunology at georgetown university medical center. she joins us live from alexandria, virginia via skype. hello there. julie, thanks for joining us. what kind of concrete commitments do we made from j. 20 late

is to reach base vaccine target support nation. there's really 2 needs. the 1st is to mobilize vaccine doses through mechanisms like the kofax facility, which is a public private partnership. coordinated to w h o, to get vaccine doses to where they are urgently needed right now. and low and lower middle income countries in those countries about 85 percent of people are still not vaccinated at all. and if we want to stop the spread of variance like the delta variant, we really need to get vaccines to those countries. and then the 2nd thing is beyond just the vaccine doses themselves to support for the logistics to actually see those vaccines. not just delivered to the countries, but actually to get everything in place from the the workforce to the syringes and the cold chain support that's needed to make sure that those joseph get to

people like the health care workers who urgently need the protection from the spread of this disease certainly is a big task. what are your thoughts on the efficacy of versus shots? are they worth it even at all? you know, the data is still coming in and we are learning a great deal. but i think the early data suggesting that booster shots can offer some protection if the anybody response to the virus that is listed by the sex scenes, begin to wayne, particularly in people who are immunocompromised. however, that's a pretty small fraction overall of the, the global need right now for vaccination. and the concern is that using the, the vaccine supplies that we have now as the w h o director general said to offer an incremental amount of protection to vulnerable populations. and very wealthy countries could take away the doses that we need to,

to vaccinate equally at risk people in the world's low and middle income countries . so it's a question of trading off that, that promise of incremental protection for one vulnerable population to the very basic preventive protection for a population and other countries, as well as rich countries, offering booster shots there also, and he backs is living in rich countries. lancaster alia, attending the jap down is really as a slap in the fax is not for the, for poor countries. i think that that is what is so frustrating, right now that we're seeing in many wealthy countries, decision makers restored into incentive prizes to, to controlling people who are hesitant to be vaccinated to accept this vaccine. that can present the spread of, of an obviously deadly disease. while in other countries, people are anxiously waiting for even the 1st dose. thank you for your time there. julie fisher,

associate research professor. we appreciate your in science. thank you for having me tonight. mexico's government is suing us, gun make has been negligence in at $10000000000.00 law search. it says reckless business practices have caused a flood of illegal weapons, fueling gang violence, and leading to thousands of deaths. john holman reports from mexico city. the streets of kula can north mexico and 17 for october, 2019. when the sinaloa cartel turned out like an army, the battle and defeat can security forces the gun then, who said they were dead, but they told us that they were using us make guns. other criminal groups across the country told us the same firearms a heavily restricted emit scope that the government says an ion river. legal weapons is heading across the us border and adding to the violence here. now it's trying to stop the river. saw on wednesday it announced an unprecedented law suit

different, aesthetic and functional features and that's compet mexican officials. no, they might not succeed. a 2005, your statute gives gum, make his widespread protection against civil liability claims govern hoping this time things might be different because their claim comes from outside of the states . and with at least 17000 murders in the country from guns traced to the us, they say they have to do something. but the government admits the gun makers or any part of the issue maker also has a really porous border with the united states and traffic. because have told us that it's really easy for them to get their weapons across it and into the country . even under the noses of mexican officials. so until that border has toughened up, guns are still going to flow into the country and was on those lines with the foreign minister towed out to 0. that's something the government's also working on . it will need to, the lawsuit won't be enough on it so that you don't home and i'll does it
