off the left down. but it's no less thing to slow down. the lack of worker after opening up again and may restaurants and cafes found that many of this stuff had left some establishment and now forced to close again for several days a week because had not enough people to do the work. and finding staff was also a problem before the been damaged. i think there are you. but 3 years ago, dick funnel status started a company called shafts from spain, and now can't keep up with demand. there are not enough working people and i think we, we have to solve this to think more european and look for stuff in this case, the southern europe because unemployment, there was around 20 percent. victor hernandez arrived 3 weeks ago from spain and his among dozens of chefs recruited so far spend, there is no jobs available for us. and they want maybe don't have to have the good

condition. so you hot here that are monday, but i was that social system despite that, the damage in atlanta has an unemployment rate of only 3.3 percent. and the economy is predicted to grow by 3 percent next year. but to maintain this growth bank, hun mass assess companies need to be more creative in attracting workers. this is, did the new demand by the younger generation. millennials, a generation offer that is common on the labor market and a couple years of time. they want a bit better balance between work and private, and maybe this is a spoil thing, but it's a western european western world thought the phenomenon is not just the whole. and he is concerned that if companies can attract more workers from the netherlands or from abroad, the economy will suffer, checked us as more checks from southern europe would definitely not hurt dutch gastro mummy. the eating of good food stamp fastened al jazeera. god's oval

thailand is struggling to control its biggest wave of coven 19. yet while the pace of vaccinations is increasing, it'll take some time to catch up with those infection. res scott hyler reports from bangkok. may not. this is thailand's worst week in its covert. 19 battles. they were to record breaking days of new infections and once with a high of $233.00 deaths until the start of the current 3rd wave of the virus in april thailand had only about $30000.00 cove in 1900 cases. in all since then it's added more than $830000.00 a delayed vaccine rollout has been the focus of much criticism directed at the government and the mixed messaging about preventative measures. as the 3rd wave was just taking hold. the rapid spike in cases has led to heavy strain on the health care system, which is considered one of the best in the region. volunteers have jumped in to fill the gaps fell upon loud gun to me. the existence of volunteer groups shows how

the government has failed the parking lot, so people have to help each other. the health ministry has proposed and immunity decrease that would prevent any legal action against from my medical staff while working on cobra, 1900 patients. it says it's designed to help them do their job, but it would also protect those responsible for vaccine procurement, an area that has come under critical scrutiny from the opposition and pro democracy protesters that i've made either on the you can set a precedent if the government wants to be protected from their own actions. have seen more people sewing the government targeting policy makers. i don't think people will go after frontline medical staff. i think the pub officer will be at ease it have some kind of immunity. so well medical expert and a better supply and variety of vaccines are critical for the overall battle against proven 19. more at home testing should be the top priorities. while the recent wave started in bangkok and other large cities, it is now spread to rural thailand. and that's an added complication because

there's limited access in these areas to health care and vaccines. but experts say more testing would help. i think that the piss his work is the key to, to, to help control the infection. ideally, it should be free for all people, because if you have this test in your hand at home, you can monitor yourself. if you get infect, you have, you can help self home isolation, doctor put you and says it would also free a bed space and medical staff for those who need advanced care. and it would help protect some of the more vulnerable groups, the elderly and children, as the rates of covered 1900 spreading inside households increases. got either al jazeera, thank the head of the roman catholic church, in sure lanka is urging the vatican and all the international bodies to put pressure on the government over the easter sunday bombings. and once more transparency around the official investigation into the attacks 2 years ago,

which killed more than 260 people. now fernandez reports from colombo. the catholic church is scathing in this government's treatment of the east bombing and the inquiry that followed. we heard from the archbishop cardinal malcolm runjun, who basically said the government, the president has blood on his hands that the assembly to power on the blood of the innocent victims of those eastern attacks. they said the failure of this government to prosecute those responsible, those who were involved in positions of authority that either ignored the warnings that did nothing to stop what they say could have been prevented from what the reports indicate has been an absolute tragedy. now, they have been launching sort of campaign from time to time, and they have said that if these don't work, they are ready to go international. not only radical that we are thinking off

thinking of you and the international human rights commission. because it is right off people for justice that should be known, and those who are sponsors shouldn't be identified. we are not, we're not like shylock insisting on the pound of flesh, but we want them to come out because in such matters we will not rise again. again, the catholic church questions, the sort of incomplete investigations. they said there are lots of areas of questions that haven't been pursued the involvement of military intelligence with the so called perpetrators or some of doors involved with the attacks. why those lines of inquiry were not pursued. why? one of the bombers who turned away from the fivestar who was contacted by a military internal operative. and there are many other questions which the church

sees a need on says now target residents have been forced to do a double take when what appeared to be a giant head was bosses in the sky. it's ashley hall, pat balloon park for not project commission for the year, and then pick an paralympic games for 2 as a 7 story building. and it took 3 years to create next looked down on the paralympics, which begins in 11 days a this is al jazeera, these, your top stories. the taliban has swept further through afghanistan over running more cities in an offensive balance gradually and suckling. couple. fighters have now captured police alarm the main city of logan province, which is the capital itala by now controls more than 2 sides of the country. a.
