4:34 pm
given the general state of relations between the u. k. u and russia? well, clearly in some senses, the relations between the u. k. the you and russia, art are pretty poor state right now, given the level of activity. this is happened over recent years involving members of the russian intelligence service leaks. that's the accusation from western governments, both in the e u, the u. k. and others there accusation that russian officials, russian representatives, russian intelligence, service operatives have been active in their minds in parts of the e. u. certainly in the united kingdom, people will recall a level of activity that the british government accuses the russians of complicity in, in the u. k. regarding the case of the script pass, the russian family, the father and daughter who were the victims of a navi shock poisoning some time ago. but there be more recent development.
4:35 pm
certainly in the course of the last few months in june. here in germany, a russian research assistant working at the university of augsburg was arrested by german police. the accusation that the person concerned had been handing over information to the russian government in return for cash in that case is not reach fruition. but it adds to that sense of what has been going on. of course, these are accusations being made, not just by the german government, but in by the british government, by e u. government and accusations. at the moment, we wait to see what real form of fruition this case will come to thank you very much for that update on mccain live press in berlin, rushes out opposition later alexis of l. me is facing new criminal charges, investigative, saying of all these anti corruption foundation, acted as a foreign agent and incited russian citizens to commit illegal acts. the organization was classified as an extremist group in june. pollings parliament is
4:36 pm
set to voice on legislation that critic say would damage maybe of freedoms. thousands of people have been protesting against the charges to the law. changes rather to the law which would strengthen a ban on non european media ownership. joining us from also is void check she bill ski, the editor in chief of the she grad inside, which is a political current affairs magazine. thank you for check for joining us. this vote appears to be specifically targeting this channel. what are the ramifications for it if it's past? well, there are 2 fault 1st. the folder is there is a challenge to the freedom with media and poland that has been declining over the last year. and with. busy development with the amendment being passed should that happen within the next month or the government of fines and other legal solution to the american owners from the company. the freedom of media will be undermined even
4:37 pm
further challenging, challenging the situation when it comes to democracy. overall performance in the country. second of all, the 2nd or mitigation is the relationship between poland and the u. s. poland is heavily dependent on the hard security provided by us. the us troops stationing in poland and nato guarantees and so on. gives, you know, comes to the relationship with the american company, the u. s. administration that my soon to undermine any future improvement of security for poland. but i don't believe on the other hand that us would do wait for quo and limits and a, a security guarantees that are already in place for a check. we're seeing pictures of thousands, if not tens of thousands of people taking to the strange that, that huge turnout from people in poland. will that likely impact how this vote is
4:38 pm
cost? no, i, this is unlikely from the scene from the government. the government sees itself as being surrounded by indeed the people of the opposition to media, the international unfavorable political scene to which it responds by launching several attacks. the media attack is one of many where it's trying to find some political initiative again that side, which is very unfavorable could. so this is a defensive strategy of the public government in it is trying to fight for survival . the next 2 years will determine whether the governing party will collapse completely, or it will maintain and its significant role on the polish political sin. thank. thank you very much for your insight for check, appreciate it. thank you. panama is hosting ladies from costa
4:39 pm
rica, colombia, and the us, as well as other countries to discuss the ongoing migration crisis at its border with colombia, theresa boys for to panama is foreign minister about plans to contain the influx of migrants. they're vulnerable, trying to cross one of the most dangerous jungles in the world. the daring gap. thousands of people from haiti, cuba, and other countries across from columbia to panama, to make it to north america. panama following minister eddie comeliness met without 0 to talk about how to guarantee people safety on the journey. you have been very active in trying to talk to other countries involved in this migration. what would you'd like to happen? i humanitarian corridor or that's something i've heard you say, i mean, how would you implement something like that? the 1st thing is it has to be a humanitarian approach. these are people that need our support. they know
4:40 pm
nobody chooses to be a migrant a day. those are external causes, it is very difficult. they are hard breaking stories that you hear about the families. the children don't go through this process. and a lot of people that are taking advantage of their situation going through their routes that they go. it can happen without somebody orchestrating where they go and profiting from from, from this route. so what do we want? we want 1st, with the humanitarian approach to make sure that everybody is following the same standards that we have in terms of care for the migrants. the 2nd one, enormous to support migration, it has to be control. he can get out of control and this is not just to this continent. you see it another condoms. it is the same situation where if it goes uncontrolled and unchecked, it. ringback becomes a problem. so we are trying to raise awareness to get other countries to understand
4:41 pm
and to cooperate. pressure from countries likely us or canada to try to control the flow? no, we have not been pressured. and i think greg, no, the main focus of attention has been the northern triangle migration. i think that there is been which we think is positive at the end. every type of migration should be dealt with, ideally, from the root causes, so that you're helping what, what is creating the, the concern or the need to migrate rather than just control or try to block it. they do benefit as mexico and even as all the other countries because if you think about it, i don't know on dora or nick her our all the countries where they have their own migrants going towards the us. they're also receiving this type of migration. so this is an added consideration or problem and top of the one that they're already
4:42 pm
facing. so i think it benefits from multiple fronts to try to confront the situation and to come up with a more holistic approach in terms of solution are governments in the region struggle to find solutions on how to cope with a crisis. the migrants continue to arrive, need is greater than fear of the dangers they will face along the way. there is, i will, i'll just eat up by now. my city. me. less than 10 percent of india's adult population has been fully vaccinated against coven 19. but even as more doses have become available, the countries homeless population has a little or no access to them. india supreme court has asked the government to explain why. pammy metal reports from new jelly, muhammad, our chrome is with his children in their makeshift home. it's attend, made entirely of plastic sheets, offering little relief against the scorching heat,
4:43 pm
like others in the settlement of a chrome field. he's been ignored and forgotten about by the government. during the pandemic work has been hard to come by and there's been little or no support for those suffering from corporate 19 or to get the vaccine. some officials came and they don't to go names and left, but no one has come to vaccinate. yes, they come often to tell us to vacate that's it. even though vaccinations offering india accessing the jobs has been virtually impossible for those living on the margin of the more than 4000000 people who are homeless in india. at least 250000 live on the streets of new delhi. a recent study found that more than 80 percent of them had not been vaccinated, mainly because they were unable to register online. a short bond is a social worker who grew up on the streets. during the last down he was spreading
4:44 pm
awareness about corporate 19 and is now trying to encourage vaccination. one is that people are so scared because of the human and the government hasn't done enough to educate them about the vaccine. you may know about it from newspapers, t vs, but they don't have the facility give us. most of them don't have phones and those who do cannot afford to recharge the battery or the phone. so there are many issues with getting vaccinated. in the us, supreme court is hearing a plea to prioritize vaccinations for the homeless. it has all the authorities for details about what is being done to protect them from the virus. be the bell who are actually the last segment of the society. no one is actually concerned or bothered about them about their vaccine nation. i mean, if they are not vaccinated, they will become unintentional carriers. or even if access improve, many like sony are reluctant to get a shot. people have died because of the vaccine,
4:45 pm
so we will not get the vaccine. and if we get the shot who will take care of our kids, the pandemic has already exposed to socio economic inequities in india. now, the fact millions of homeless people are not being vaccinated is threatening to hamper the fight against corona virus. hardening missile al jazeera new delhi. the 1st time since the start of the pandemic, south korea has reported more than 2000 new corona virus cases in just a single day. this full play is being fueled by the more infectious delta variance, but the number of deaths isn't rising with the amount of cases. however, there are growing cold, so tighter restrictions to be re imposed in the capital. so hundreds of people have been rallying in bangkok against a government handling of the corona virus. say thailand is recording around 20000 new cases every day. it's the country's worst outbreak. so far,
4:46 pm
pressure has been mounting on the government after a slow vaccination roll out, and the economic impact of restrictions bike is a gathering in the us state of south dakota for the annual sturgess and motorcycle really. the 10 day event kicked off on friday despite the delta various cases surging across the country. fees rally became a super spreader event. them with more ride is attending this year. health officials are increasingly concerned. gabriel, alexander reports from south dakota. the, the sound of the world's largest baker party. it's called the sturges motorcycle rally. held every august for the past 81 years. these 3 women rode their motorcycles, 2000 kilometers over 3 days to be here. the rest of the rally, what else you can ask for this year, an estimated 700000 bikers from all over the united states have descended on

sturgess for 10 days of food, drinking rock concerts, lots of motorcycle riding on the nearby country highways. the event brings in roughly $800000000.00 to the local economy. biggest party ever got a lot of a lot of motorcycles, but not vast social distancing temperature checks or mandatory negative cova test. none are required. last yourself, dakota made the controversial decision to hold the rally in august and weeks later, a surgeon covered 19 cases was linked to the sturges rally. the good news is many of the events are held out. doors slowing the spread, but still help officials are worried. but in sturgess, the people we spoke to court bothered, they will call and you don't know if they're called because they're smoking or if they're coughing because it's got take care and just trying to watch it. you word, it may not work now right now because you're going to either die one way or
4:48 pm
another. you going to cycle? you get out of bed in the morning. they die because thank you. robert caution is this something happens and it was just your, your, your time to go back to an agent and it is what it is. and i think i already had the delta 2 weeks ago, i spoke to the mayor of sturgess and he says that this rally was never in doubt. and that by the time they realized that delta very was hitting hard here. it was simply too late to cancel. what to do? what's right for people. common sense stay home and you're sick or you start to feel to stay away for people. no, no regrets about holding and not at all. no, no. in this town. clearly the roar of the motorcycle engines drowning out any fears of the virus and the lives that could be lost because of it. gabriel sancho al jazeera sturgis south dakota. sport is next on al jazeera and we have to paris to
