the pipeline, giving voice to the voice here in california. it's almost everybody's a paycheck away from being on house program, but open your eyes to view. well, today, this is what the picture looks like the the world from a different perspective on how to i me. this is al jazeera. ah. either i can vanelle this is the new law firm coming up in the next 60 minutes. the world passes 200000000, recorded covert 19 infections as wealthy country, the urge to hold vaccine booth to shop. i'm the richardson at the tokyo olympics were coded 900 cases of record levels in the host city, hoping 5000 for the 1st time perilously close to

a power plant. the rush to get people out of the lakes. it's danger zone and poke. is wall people feeling the financial pinch with challenges? i think around you president head of his wearing it and i'm far as well. have all the action from the tokyo olympics, including there's a major upside demand. 100 meter hurdle final ad world champion gran hallway is $200000000.00 infections and climbing rapidly, the world's corrode, of iris diagnosis. just keep getting bleak if it took a year to reach the 1st $100000000.00, but total cases have doubled and half of that time the search is driven partly by the delta variance. but it's also highlighting the gap and vaccination rates between the wealthy and the poor nations. and that's why the world health

organization is urging bridge countries to pulled plans to administer the booster shots. i understand the concern of all governments to protect their people from the delta vote in but we cannot, 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 indonesia is now the center of a his outbreak with the death toll exceeding 100000. a quarter of a 1000000 infections have been recorded in the past week alone. and in japan, there's anger infections rise faster than ever. and the fix host city tokyo has recorded 5000 davy cases for the 1st time. the prime minister says the games are not to blame. let's bring an end. richardson, who is live for us now in tokyo. and he so record numbers there where you are in

tokyo, but also across the country. that's right. and to put this into some sort of contracts that number of $5000.00 standing here a few days ago. talking about numbers hitting 3000 in. so for the 1st time, so it just goes to show how fast the situation is escalating here. we've also already had the state of emergency was extended here in tokyo just a few days ago. so now it's going to run until the end of august, about a significance from, from a sporting perspective, at least because it coincides with the start of the paralympic games that had been some hope. the fans would be allowed in the starts of bath event. it's still possible they might be allowed in towards the end of the paralympics, but it's now looking increasingly unlikely. and from the people we're speaking to, hey, there is just a growing sense of frustration that prior to the lympics and the reason the coven 19 figures worked, were relatively low in japan. wasn't city with government policy today with their

own sacrifices. very slow vaccine roll out a relatively speaking in the back story. there was that in the 1990, the japanese government was found a liable for number of side effects connected to other inoculations. so there was a very cautious approach to the vaccine approval in japan, and then you have the state of emergency itself, which is something of an oxymoron. it's a, it's a request for people to work from home. it's a request for the balls and restaurants to close early. it's not an order. so perhaps not surprisingly with a bit of pandemic, fatigue setting in people on today. but to those rules quite as closely as they might have done at other points in the cove at 19 pandemic, particularly when this same government is saying it's all it takes dealing picks to carry on. yeah, and the on that front, i mean, the prime minister is saying the lympics is not to blame for this rise that we're seeing across japan. that the gains bubble as it were, hasn't been breached. how can officials be so certain?

what if it's a very good question in it, so on a lot of people here and so count in japan are asking we've had 31 you cases amongst people connected with the olympics in the last 24 hours. that is a new hi during these olympics, but the organizes continue to push this line that there is no provable link between what's happening in the village and what's happening in the wider japanese community. they, they point to things like the tv right to the side of the tv. right? things are so high for the lympics. it's good for the pandemic because it's encouraging people to stay at home. and they said that only one person directly connected to the games has been hospitalized. so they say that they've not put under pressure on the health services, but just to drilling stuff, figure of 3123 of those cases were residents of japan. so they volunteers or contract work as they're not living in the athletes. village they're living in the water. communities are very hard to keep pushing this line,

that there is no link between the games and the search beyond the athletes village and time and time again. the, the epidemiology, as we've spoken to say the games are a problem. the fact that going on is making people feel happy, relax, optimistic, and they're underestimating just how serious the situation is now in japan. thank you very much for that. up there. and richardson live for us in tokyo. now as we mentioned earlier, indonesia to is seeing a spike in cases and its health system is struggling. jessica washington has more from to counter as alarming as that figure of surpassing 100000 sounds. it's only a partial picture of the situation on the ground. some months ago, the indonesian government pledged that it would seek to scale up p c r, testing and endeavor to test around $400000.00 people each day. and that still has not happened. so the reality is, is that at this point, we cannot be certain how many people died as a result of the virus. in particular,

as more deaths have happened at home, what we do know is that 40 percent of that, but the current death toll 40 percent of those people died in july and august alone . we also know that as jests at home has increased, as people were turned away from hospitals, we've seen more cases of multiple deaths within the same family. now, as some local groups, some independent data groups are trying to get a more accurate picture of the scale of the crisis on the ground. and according to some estimates, they put the confirmed dest hole in recent weeks, at around 3 to 5 times higher than the official numbers indicate. now the government is keen to stress that they are seeing signs that the crisis is easing in some cities, in particular in the capital. but happy to me all just say it is too soon to be optimistic. and in fact, they are concerned that fall from the situation easing. they are seeing signs that the crisis is spreading into provinces into remote areas with even lower rates of

vaccination, with low rates of testing and with health care facilities that struggle under normal circumstances. i was chaos and confusion and vaccination fences in the philippines, the head of tough new restrictions. a to result down in the capital, manila has begun following a search in cases earlier. thousands of people lined up to jobs fairing that they wouldn't be allowed to leave home for work if not fully vaccinated. officials have since clarify, that's not the case. i know that the president said we cannot go out and we cannot go to our jobs if we don't get vaccinated. so what happens now, they should add more doses, so everyone here can get vaccinated. i don't know, like what our president has said. if we are not vaccinated, we cannot go out. of course, we are afraid because of the upcoming enhance community warranty. and if they keep extending the lockdown, who would provide our meals? if we can go out to south korea as president wants the country to become one of the

world's top 5 vaccine manufacturers by 2025. when julian says covered $900.00 vaccines will be designated and national strategic technology alongside semiconductors and batteries. nearly $2000000000.00 will be set aside to boost the vaccine production over the next 5 years. well, the bride has more from song south korea. since the start of this pandemic has specialized in this public private partnership approach in coming up with solutions . for example, in the early days being amongst the 1st countries in the world to mass produce testing kits. well, it's applied the same approach to the production of vaccines using some of its high production capacity to help the world's pharmaceutical giants, to produce many of their vaccine such as the astrazeneca, while at the same time, also producing other vaccines like the sputnik for the russians with this event that the presidential office, the blue house today, the president moon j in,

along with other government officials and leaders of pharmaceutical companies here in south korea have really mapped out their vision of the future. that by 2025, south korea will emerge as one of the world's top 5 vaccine producers working more closely. for example, with companies in the us, in germany, and the u. k. not only to be a producer of vaccines, but also to be more of a developer to, to develop what they're talking about being an ecosystem that supports the vaccine industry. it comes, of course, as the world is face, facing a shortage of vaccines with the spread of the delta variance and also with people talking about the need for booster shots in some parts of the world. while other parts of the world are still waiting for that 1st vaccination programs to roll out at this is one possible solution that south career is talking about of trying to

increase and produce more of the vaccines. the world needs is trained in city of melvin is being put into it, fixed the doctor on authorities the trying to trace the thoughts of mystery covert 19 cases. but not everyone in the city is happy about the new restrictions. there have been protests and sydney as reported its highest number of new infections. australia is struggling to bring its delta outbreak under control. despite not locked down, the ball closures. and they just measures mean more than half of the strain is population is being ordered to stay home and help work. as in france, have been protesting against mandatory vaccinations. hospital staff held a demonstration in the southern city of my measures introduced in july require any self and contact with vulnerable people to get the job. those not vaccinated by next month, the risk not being paid. francis health minister said well, gabriel. scottie is a visiting professor of public health at the university of bristol, in the u. k. he joins us now by scott from there. thank you for joining us here on

the i'll do their news are. if we look at the top line here, $100000000.00 cases in a year, double that in half the time is this the replication rate that we should be expecting here on out in the panoramic. undoubtedly the spread of the virus is speeded up as a new variance of come forward, particularly the delta variance which was mentioned. and it is at least maybe twice as rapidly spreading as twice as infectious as the previous dominant variance. and that causes huge problems. this exponential growth, but they talk about where the curve just shoots skyrockets at the mix, getting it under control, as you've seen in the reports from around the world. extraordinarily difficult. and that's why so many people. so many countries are placing their lines on back scenes and getting access to vaccines, but even that isn't a complete solution because we're seeing more cases where that delta variant in

particular can actually break through some of the immunity vaccines are great and they protect people very extensively from death and from serious illness, but they're not the full answer to getting the virus under control. and we talk about the, the delta variant. is it a, given that we're going to see even more contagious variance beyond the delta variant? is it a given that this virus is going to continue to mutate, the challenge of containing this will get even harder. the more the virus spreads in the world, the more cases there are, the more opportunities there are for the virus to mutate and the virus mutates all the time. now, most of those mutations don't mind to anything and they don't give the virus any in any advantage. so they don't emerge as a dominant barian, but there is the big risk of the risk that scientists across the world extraordinarily worried, but is that we will get a new generation of various that will combine the increased infectiousness of the

delta variant with also an increased ability to dodge some of the immunity that has been granted by vaccination. and that would be a dreadful situation for us to get into. and that's why countries across the world are doing their best to bring the virus under control to get their populations vaccinated. and tried to put in some of the basic preventive measures that will, we will need like masks and better ventilation. and so we are going to need those for, for some time to come for years. sure. i mean, the world health organization might argue that we are not doing our best as a global community because it's now asking richer nations to pull their booster shots of vaccinations to give time for poor nations to catch up. i mean, how realistic is it that that's going to happen? well, i think the world health organization has got a point here. we've got a real in equity in terms of the distribution,

the availability of vaccines to populations around the world. and on the face of it, it does seem completely wrong. the country should be starting to use up their vaccine manufacturing capacity to produce booster shots for they already vaccinated when there's such a need for vaccine. i think the other thing that needs to happen is we really do need to make progress on the discussions that have gone on for some months now, but not made enough progress about getting the waiver for the the peyton, for the intellectual property rights in the backseat. so we have enough vaccine making capacity wrong the world to produce a lot more vaccines. but as long as the companies that control the intellectual property rights don't allow other companies to start making the vaccine, we are missing out on a major opportunity to provide many, many more vaccines for the world. and it is, it's a phrase that is often used, but it is never more true that we are not safe until we're all safe. even in

countries where they have no vaccines. vaccination rates, in some places, the slowing vaccine hesitancy, particularly among young people. what is that going to mean for the trajectory of the virus? well, the increased in fact, to the day of the virus, one really important effect on that is it takes a lot more of the population to be vaccinated before you start to get a really strong population immunity effect. and therefore, we need vaccination programs in all countries that are going to get to really high levels of vaccination. and one of the problems there is that we don't have back seen back scenes yet approved across the world for smaller children, younger children. and that's going to be a priority, i think for research and for vaccine manufacture. we need a vaccine, but we'll be good for everyone from, from,

from one year old to 100 years old. and we needed to get it into the arms of at least 80 percent, maybe probably 90 percent of population in a country before we can start to see a really strong heard immunity population immunity response. but it also means that we got to back all of the vaccine effort up with the basic efforts about improving ventilation wearing face masks wearing better face masks, to cope with these more infectious variance. and those sort of practical practical prevention measures are going to be with us for some time as well back seen in boxes are great, but they're not the complete answer, not super bowl that hey, thank you very much for your time. gabriel kelly. the visiting professor of public health at the university of bristol, by the more head on the news all, including the latest on the fighting and going to found, is the government trying to fight off talib on like who's

a small town is destroyed as a fall moving wild far grows and strength of the us. they have kind of for you and it kind of makes it's and then pick you in the spiritual home of japanese marshal. ah, while father reached the compound to the coal fuel power plants and salt with turkey, has finally been contained of the raging for more than 11 hours. strong winds drove the fire to wood, became a quiet pal thompson moolah, province, navy land, and cross were deployed to help evacuate residence by sea. at least the h people have been killed and dozens of wildfires across turkey resorts or the joint is now from me. last close to that power punk result, just bring us up to speed. what's happening that way? you all while we are in a camera,

in the town of middle us where the terminal power plant is and you can see that term of power plan right behind me. that you have been couple of days that the, that the fires was burning and getting closer. busy and closer to this power planted and the local authorities warranty and actually the government and the tory, these were in charge of the operations. and yesterday it got into a very much critical distance to the power to the power plant. so it was 1 in the morning when the 1st report came dot, it's about to got inside the power plant, but the firefighters managed to put out the flames later in the afternoon. and not that said, that way we'll have the wire fire was about to raise over the walls that are surrounding the power plant. but the fire fighters managed for the 2nd time to put them also to put out them as well. at the up the, even in the night time,

a told wave came and just returned. and it was the most critical one, because for the 1st time the fires got inside the formal power plan. so it has been managed to be pulled out. but the boundary is still far from over because the window was thrown here and they may yet carry the fires into the plans court. and that happened that will not just 3 good as an exposure, but also a probably about amount of crisis as well. do authorities, how m t did the hydrogen tanks that were used to cool down the, the plant and it have been filled with the water as precaution. all the stuff have been created and the power plant was on the or you and the fire as well. it's very much close to the national areas. still you can hear that the,

how the court and the what the bomb being planes are carrying the water and putting that into the wooden piece and the residential areas around there's, there's this plan, as i said, this vendor is still far from over because there are many fire steel nearby. ok. so you mentioned their helicopters dropping water, a lack of fire fighting planes with one of the reasons why the president richard taught on has, has come under intense scrutiny. tell us a little bit about the that scrutiny that he's come under. what people are saying and why well, let the sun through all this political discussion is a turkish or an ethical association. and the position accrues the goldman or ignoring this association which has the water bomb

being fleet. and it says that the government has ignored the that situation and the police are not being used to fight the that the fires here. but the government says that the fleet that did that. so she didn't have, it's very much old. and technically they are not able to to fly and it will raise the pilots live here. but to position says that the decision made by the government is not based on the technical assessment, but rather a political one on the other hand or was it just says that the government has been very much slow on in accepting the international aid. another that the point of the discussion is that the, the opposition says that the government hasn't been able to put out a good coordination. and the hope to the crisis area is coming very much later. but the government mentally denies. there's this allegation that says that the home that hasn't happened, that is off the that the fire trucks they had to cope. there was

a carrying place in war from the 1st day on turkey is particularly a very divided company. and each time the country faces such a nation wide cry this, this, this division becomes more and more apparent. i thank you very much for that up that there was also in not made us the blaze on the island area is one of more than 100. the new across the grief a wildfire on the outskirts of the capital, athens has not receded, has destroyed homes and businesses in its wake. the country is facing its most severe heat wave in 30 years, with the risk of more flies to come. we'll get the latest from the day and bas ravi live short. but 1st he has his report. one of the most dangerous wildfires of the season so far it took 501st responders working around the clock and countless ariel sore case to bring this blaze. just north of the greek capital

under control, volunteers working alongside police and fire rescue teams, managed to keep the flames from spreading to more populated areas of athens. outside, the police coordinate, anxious residence, waited unable to go home. me, let me get that sort of thing. it's a total catastrophe. my neighbor's house burned down and i called him and he was distraught because we're talking about complete destruction. maybe my house has been down also. i don't know. i'm assuming this because my neighbor's house burned down. we have been destroyed as a family financially we finished. we finished. as night fell helicopters and planes stopped their water drops and ground crews took over the task of keeping the flames at bay. at daybreak roads reopened to reveal the scale of devastation, dozens of homes in business, which completely destroyed 24 hours after this fire started. the ground here is still smoldering here in the tree line with fire rescue teams are worried about now . is that the record high temperature is the ongoing heat wave as well as the wind

picking up again will begin to rekindle the flames and restart the fires that they've already put out. as remaining small fires were extinguished, people were allowed to return to see what was life. for 35 years, monsieur mikayla lived in a house he built with his own hands. next to his workshop where he restored classic cars. the collection was priceless. the fire took everything heavily, but the name for the next eliza there, i 1st saw the fire around noon. at that point. the fire was high up on the mountain a lift for a little while to do some jewels and i came back and the police wouldn't let me get through. i was waiting for 4 hours and i kind of had police let him back. or he says he may have been able to save something of value to help him rebuild. asked to put a price on the damage. he says he has absolutely no idea how the weather is forecasting to come. seems like this are likely to play up again. even as the situation north

of athens improve record high spark of dozens more wildfires across greece that are still out of control. let's go live now to zane bus ravi, who's standing by an athens vein. so more than a 100 fires burning across the country. what's the latest well, officially this morning, the civil protection organization here announced that the fire north of athens has been extinguished. but we saw a lot of manpower being thrown at those fires to put them out. and the fact is that fire rescue teams all over the country are really playing a game of walkable with the fires. now it's like they take one step forward and another step back as soon as they put out a fire in one place. it seems that another fire ignites elsewhere last night. as they started to get the far north bath is under control. the more fires in the north of the country as well as the peloponnesian in southern greece,

and on the island of via fires, been raging for 2 days out of control. we've seen $150.00 homes destroyed on that island on the g and coast. we've seen mandatory evacuations and as we speak right now that fire is still out of control. and i want to be clear about what those words mean. the fire is consuming everything in its path and all that officials and residents and civilians and fire rescue crews can do is try to get out of the way. the problem in many parts of this country is becoming too big for greece to handle on its own. now the good news is there is help on the way you countries, including cyprus and france, are sending fire rescue teams and sweet ascending to water planes to help douse the flames in different hotspots all over the country. so there is help coming. there was another bit of good news. the government has green left the use of the military in combat in these fires. so there is help on the way for fire rescue teams all over the country that are certainly beleaguered. at this point from jumping from one hot spot to another, but there is also some bad news. the forecasts are that the hot weather,

the heat wave will continue. we're talking about daily highs that easily go past 40 degrees, touching 50 degrees on a regular basis. winds are also picking up the forecast does seem to say that the winds will be picking up and coming days in between the hot weather and the winds literally fanning the flames of these fires. we are likely to continue to see a very robust and strong wildfire season this year. all right, thank you for that. same bas ravi in athens. of the border homes have been damaged by 5 north macedonia. the blazes had been threatening the city of christianity but were extinguished and recent of several 100 heck as a forest were burned with some animals killed. and 2 forestry workers have been killed while fighting fires in bulgaria. it happened in the region of sundown. ski boat wildfires raging across the country, the 240 new ones are cropping up every day. oak area has been going through

a heat wave of the past week with temperatures hovering around 40 degrees. newly released climate data shows last month was the 3rd hottest july ever recorded. the observation was made by scientists of the european union's copernicus, service unusually high temperatures, when ocean in regions from finland to the united states. they said, despite the swings from year to year, there's an underlying warming trend across the globe. it means the 400 gentle eyes on record have happened the last 5 years. in the us, a fast moving wildfire has rolled through a town in northern california. the dixie, far as its being cold has been burning for 3 weeks with, with dump by strong winds as it hit the town of greenville vacuum. we say most of the downtown area has been destroyed and the heat was so intense that street lights melted and bent to the ground. still ahead on l. 0. the mystery surrounding bodies that washing up in a river in easton to dawn. the cup of coffee

a day could get cancer away. bring you the details of a landmark study. then it's for the golden key we hear from you. most of them a well, a completely out of season weather continues, in fact, gets worse. a good part of europe this coming in here. it's more reminiscent of an autumn storm and was supposed to be in the height of summer is going to affect all of north and europe, which means is around the edges squashed down to the south where it's still warm and summary and to warm from any have course you know the story fire raging from past which li, through greece to turkey, his temperatures have been very high. it's been by dry. these.
