you know, american dream in america, you just feel like your caged animal. things on my child shouldn't go through the program that isn't your eyes, nor kind of, if you, well today on alex ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello i made for you. again, this is are, these are live from 0 coming up in the next 60 minutes. the u. s. threatens more sanctions for all involved in ethiopia as conflicts. if they don't negotiate an end to the violence. the un security council extends its mission and i've got us on the part of the resolution, referring to women and girls, was watered down before the 1st family of a man who died of code at 19 off the contracting of an austrian ski resort sous the

government and russians head to the poles, but many candidates names are missing from the balance. and in sports lazy and cricket is preparing to leave pakistan. after putting out that tor jason security can send a decision of fully supported by the country's prime minister just into all done ah, the united states is threatening more sanctions against the warring sides and a few peer with the goal of ending the fighting. a new executive order opens the door to sanction members of the ethiopian an era tray and governments the to grow people's liberation front. and the hot regional government, the by the administration is trying to pressure them into negotiations. the war which started in northern degree region last november has killed thousands of people and left almost a 1000000 in famine like conditions such as era shall have returns here. washington

says the bible ministration is keen to show that it doesn't just blame the ethiopian government. it's, it's a theme that we've seen from the white house and from congress in the last few months as the crisis intensifies in that range. and that the bike administration, particularly trying to be seen as being, having an even hound and blaming all sides, even whereas the sort of liberal interventionists and the governments amounts of power usa id for example, have been pushing and have been warning off of ethiopian atrocities. but the bite administration has been, has been talking about all sides in the culture of the congressional hearing just a few months ago actually way where you could see that being played out. i mean, even this executive order, it's a lot less than meets the eye and the reasons are fascinating. i'll get get over there in a 2nd. but this, yeah, as you said, it threaten sanctions. it empowers the treasury and the state department to impose sanctions, but it doesn't do sorry, it doesn't name any one and it, and it,

and it has a long list of actions that the u. s. wants to see it. once it cools in, all parties rental facilities to allow for, to play, facilitate unimpeded humanitarian access. accountability for human rights abuses, inclusive dialogue, the, to preserve the unity of the state, but no action yet. and that's been a big disappointment of a liberal intervention, especially in the democratic party. if his prime minister abbey ahmed, has written an open letter to president biden in response to the threatened sanctions. part of it reads, unfortunately, while the entire world has turned its eyes onto a few, appear on the government for all the wrong reasons. it's failed to openly and sternly reprimand the terrorist group in the same manner, but it's been chastising my government. sammy will get you as a journalist from out of a he says, the us as a powerful influence, any few it has invested since the beginning of the conflict has begun to november. it has invest. that was over half

a $1000000000.00 in terms of the conflicts providing aid and basic supports to all the, the 1000000. so we've been seeing from a distance and that's a great region. there is also the issue of trade that has benefit from a trade agreement that was signed by george w bush in 2000, 2000 in 2004. saying that countries like if you should benefit from d t 3 privileges. and there was a period that would be withdrawn and how much success in the us has been in terms of trade, its industrial parks occupied by america, not multinational. it's benefiting from this tax benefit. those introduce 2 decades ago. and there was a fear that would be withdrawn, but that did not happen. and there's a relief and i'd be stub of it. you can, government continues to accuse the american government of supporting the

soldiers gravely. they are cold when a month power, the head of us said was in town. she did not get the audience that she expected from the prime minister. so there was all kinds of complaints from the american side. but i mean, this conflict is still going on. china as president, she's in ping is calling for a smooth transition in afghanistan and assess the new government to follow what he called moderate policies, asian leaders and basing and tajikistan capital shondae to discuss the telephone takeover shanghai co operation organization is the 1st major summit of regional countries since the armed group seized power last month, member states have expressed concern of an influx of refugees and the risk of attacks. the un security council meanwhile, has extended the mandate of its mission in afghanistan for further 6 months. the vote was unanimous. they settled on a temporary extension, given the uncertainty enough galveston since the taliban take by extending the

mandate of the un assistance mission in afghanistan. today, we demonstrate this body's commitment to the un vital role in supporting the afghan people. by extending unanimous work as assigned in resolution 2543, we are emphasizing the importance of the un continued commitment to human rights. civilian and child protection, humanitarian assistance, coordination, and countless other functions which will be fundamental to the future of a scanner. stan, diplomatic as a james space is at the united nations. he explains the scope of the un mission in afghanistan. it's the un assistance mission for afghanistan, and it's been in place since 2001. but actually the un in some shape or form has been enough galveston since 1947, a range of roles that they've done over the years. some of them i think,

are not going to be ones that can be performing anytime soon. for example, promoting democracy and arranging elections has been part of their role helping the african government with that, clearly, i don't think they're going to be elections anytime soon enough kind of stuff. but there are parts of the mission, which i think you're going to be greatly increased. for example, the humanitarian assistance in afghanistan, real worries about the state of the economy, the not properly functioning. banking system, the idea that literally thousands, maybe millions of people will start a slow and steady exodus from afghanistan across the borders. although it's very difficult to get across those borders because they're closed. that's why the un security council has not done what it normally does, which it extend this mission just as it is every year for another year. they've decided really they need to look at the shape of this and how it's going to work. and that's why they've now agreed to a 6 month excess extension. for now. i think it shows behind the scenes,

even though it hasn't, i think affected the passage of this resolution. that there are tensions among these countries and different views on how to deal with the taliban. and remember that is going to be i think one of the other problems going forward for the un is whether to recognize the taliban. there is not counting. bassett, still in his seat, who represents a government no longer exists to him or to come here, including in democratic republic of congo. the threat from armed groups is making it difficult for people to make ends meet. an ancient treasure tra enough canister the delicate balance between protecting the nations heritage. extracting its middle wealth settings forth find out why i mentioned the city manager was on the defensive. in his latest press conference in the us, food and drug administration is meeting to decide whether to approve booster shots

produced by pfizer bio in tech. a panel of independent vaccine advise this is expected to vote on whether there's a need for additional doses. for people aged 16 and older top health officials of warned that some fully vaccinated people may not have enough immunity to coven 19 talked about. pin county from the university of exeter says that lower income countries shouldn't be neglected. as more developed nations start to handout booster shops with respect to boosting, you may be protecting some people and so the gain is very marginal. on the other hand, we are ignoring countries like africa, south american parts of asia, where the, the infection is uncontrolled and extensive. and with extensive replication of the virus where there is a lot of infections. you can also get the emergence of variance. and if these very and start to bypass vaccines, etc, it would be a step backward. so a better public,

how global intervention would be immunized the rest of the world. my view is really we need robust evidence before we go down the boosting way. and in the meantime, please donate to elect scenes. cuba has expanded its mass vaccination drives, the children as young as to it's the only country in the world to vaccinate children that young. it comes to health officials report a search and delta infections among young people. cuban authorities say the locally produced cobit 19 vaccine is safe for children. austria's government is being taken to court. that's accused of not responding quickly enough to a cobit 19 outbreak at a ski resort. it was one of the earliest super spreader events, resulting at the infection of 6000 people from 45 countries. the civil lawsuit as the 1st of 15 such cases out of here is dominant cain reports hoseley shops takes his place in a v n e courtroom for

a trial brought about in part by the death of his father. hannah's from cove. it, he had been staying in the ski resort of michigan when the virus emerged there in march. 2020 ish good. his noted both for skiing and it's i play ski party venues, which in pre cove at times would normally attract hundreds, if not thousands of people at any one time. it was at one particular venue, the kids where the 1st case in the town was diagnosed in the 1st week of march last year. many hundreds of people spent time in that bar, as well as other venues in the town. at that time. the australian authorities were away cove. it might be spreading in a good back then. after a few days they did initiate the lockdown in the town. but all of the shops loya says it was too little too late. authorized out the puts now untie, stopping people from leaving and arriving in the pulse. now. valley or at least issuing and travel warning. the authorities fail to do that. that resulted in

a tourist shift change on the weekend of march, the 7th and 8th. com. thousands of people left the paul's eyes valley unhindered. thousands of people arrived without a clue that they were in danger. the austrian government rejects this suggestion and is contesting the case. and it's back flow of people to and from issue which some believe help cause the virus to spread like wildfire across the continent. many of the people at that event with germans who brought covert back here with them. this country has reported more than 4000000 cases. of the virus since then. and despite mass vaccination programs, even hundreds of new cases are still being reported here in berlin every day when video up to an important to us to start. if we don't dramatically increase vaccination rate, the current for the wave may see massive momentum in autumn already with number ok . the 19 patients requiring hospitalization is increasing intensive care bad

occupancy. by caveat patients has nearly doubled in the last 2 weeks. that commonly more than 1300 patients being treated there. it's not just in austria, that officials are facing questions over their decisions. at the start of the pandemic, the form of french health minister and yes, is now under formal investigation for her handling of coven cases in france early last year. but so far, at least it is only in austria where those officials are having to account for their actions or inactions in court. dominic cane al jazeera berlin, get found costa is a global litigation lawyer, a professor of law at k. you live in university, in belgium, georgia, from the content with this professor. what are the chances you think of this legal action succeeding while you correspond? mentioned, nothing can number of key words in history. pulled the fact that this is one of the early cases. it also that he goes back to the early stages of the panoramic. why

not just asked the citizens, but also many authorities were walking around like atlas chicken. so i suspect that this must manage the chances of success. nevertheless, there is a point that is also being made by the way that you heard that there is common sentence measures which the governments could have taken. and one of the accusations sentence is that in the allegedly, on orderly evacuation of these valley, people were crammed into buses where even with no ordinary flu vaccine or through, you might suspect that people were getting faxes. how do you go about proving that with a court of law that the government did too little too late? i think it is indeed a very difficult. busy burden of proof at the time we didn't know much about the virus, i'm sure all of us remember this. so it is going to be question of somehow showing that with missile information that was going around, that was not the that's the standard of care which the local authorities exceeded. and i suspect that will be part of the will the ones that we put to the court?

of course, this is also a test case. clearly for the claim is concerned, it is a very emotional case. and for them, it's a very real trial. but it also was the serves as a case in which people who time established what sort of proof might have to be bought. and also indeed, whether that might be difference in trying to prove this against public authorities like in this case. and alternatively, against private operators. especially later on in the late stages of the panoramic . so what are the implications for not only the austrian government here, but other governments, and as you say, private organizations, meaning also this will depend on local law and therefore it's difficult to manage all conclusions for other jurisdictions. but it is, it is to be assumed that the law principles in these cases will be very similar. the world over i think it will go down to common sense matches that should have been taken. it will go down to general a standard of care which authorities have in cases of pandemic. so in the just in

cases of local outbreaks of, of local the says which of course have a much more regularly. and in that respect, it might certainly be inspirational, product claimants and all the cases in all the jewish victor. it's really good to talk to you so many. thanks, dave, for being with us. that's a good, fun, tough, further in love and university in belgium. much of the world health organization says that it'll help lebanon find solutions to a health care crisis, close to bankruptcy, lebanon his shores of medical supplies and equipment. the world health organizations, director general, is visiting beirut. a week after the formation of a new government house. here is a harder is that basic services are crumbling with lebanon's health care system, particularly affected by its worsening financial crisis. there is little hard currency to buy medicine and supplies. it's hard to find life saving drugs. before out of 5 people who are now poor, can buy them from abroad,

and the un is paying for the fuel needed to power hospitals. it's not a sustainable solution. according to the world health organization, who is high level team assess the impact of the crisis firsthand, they warned the population's health is at risk. i'm deeply concerned by the impact of the current crisis on the health and well being of live on an people. i don't know if there is any country in such a situation which is really dire and that's why on so the prime minister put it very boldly saying the countries in an emergency situation. but the un can replace the system, the world health organization plans to send a team of experts to assist in preparing a strategic plan for much needed reforms. doctor ted ross and his team told us they felt seriousness and commitment on the part of the new government to make changes. first visit by the world health organization delegation comes at a critical time,

13 months. so political deadlock. a has worse than the economic crisis. there is now a new government, but it's the same political parties blame for years of corruption and mismanagement . international donors say, assistance is linked to changing past policies. health care services is now out of reach for many 80 percent of health facilities are private and the public sector has long been neglected and underfunded. many rely on agencies. i cannot say that we have filled the gap. we have close to the shortage. it is not enough because the needs are huge and unfortunately it needs, it needs, it needs a hold of government approach. and that may take time for now. international assistance is what is keeping living on on life support. so there is ita bailed. china has accused us in the straits of colluding to smith its reputation,

and the latest fall as on the 2 countries joined britain in a new alliance. many see the new security agreement as part of efforts by the west to contain china's growing influence in the region, particularly of a contested maritime claims. several leaders from the west africa regional block eco was or in guinea, the meeting leaders of the military cou, a day after imposing sanctions and demanding that elections beheld within 6 months . guinea was suspended from echo was last week, after the military removed president out for condo from power. i'll just hear as i'm address is in concrete for many of the top military hierarchy here, it was a surprise. they was not expecting such a short period of transition. one officer was even heard saying that it's impossible to organize that within a short time because of the current economic situation in the country because of corporate 19. and those was some of the things that surprised them. they why

expected, probably another 18 months 24 months, as was the case with molly, which was a little down to 18 months by the way. and of course this house also deliberated on that matter yesterday. now, the military leadership here what expected something much longer than 6 months. so it came as a surprise to them for guinea ends. the expectations were, the fear is actually way such that it can make functions and in by goes would be imposed on this country, which could fight a complicated level. the property of the level of it cannot be caught if people are facing here. and now that of course has met and issued a list of functions not targeting the civilian population, but of course target in the military leadership in cannot create either one. and this was even saying, how much do these military offices up extend to me anyway? so we are waiting to see what will become of that meeting that's currently taking

place between last and what tara, mista not qualified or, and mr. con david post president, we, i, lot of people assume that what's happened in molly last year may repeat itself. yeah. traders in northeastern democratic republic of congo, say that it's becoming increasingly difficult to run their businesses because of armed groups, a state of emergency, it's been declared it to re and north kiva provinces. but many fear the situation isn't improving. i'll just eras, catherine soil reports now from dutempo in north cable. this is one of the busiest trade routes in the eastern democratic republic of congo, merchandise from uganda, canyon and beyond. comes across the border of the town of cas cindy in uganda, and into libya in the congo. most of the goods end up in temple, a business hob, innocuous province, minerals for mining areas are also transported using this route. but rebel groups

in north q and the neighboring 2 provinces have made during business dangerous. poly company veto is a trade union leader and sees a traders enough q and a tory have collectively lost more than half a $1000000000.00 in recent years. because of a tax by armed groups including the r like democrats, forces about it already through this one. the but i'm look, will become pressure mid over the gold coming from mining areas are government needs to delete the cerebral nearly 2 weeks ago, fighters from the army group, almost a convoy and killed. several people keep not thumb and burned dozens of vehicles. this was despite the national army and un peacekeepers being present. catholic of police was in his vehicle when they were attacked, he had to flee and hiding the forest. his car was torched, global reports on the convoy is usually very long and the security escort has

limited. the road is also very bad, so we can't even speed in dangerous areas. sometimes one car can develop a mechanical problem, but the rest of the convoy, including the escort moves on the adf, use gaps in the convoy to separate us. most of the drivers here in with him was saying they're not traveling to bornea in the province anymore because of the security situation. they say that being a talked by on the groups, the vehicle destroyed. and now with a suspension of military convoys along that route. the situation is just getting work for them. after we left, those security escorts resumed in the region. it's been under military rule since may, when the government declared a state of emergency. why that will be fine to me, we have done the 1st phase of the rebel cleanup. we have secured government territories. we have to get somebody that you are not accessible because of the security situation. now we are going into the 2nd phase to get them completely out of civilian areas and then neutralize these drivers back in september and not

optimistic. they say they've lost many of their loved ones in that property and have listened to many government promises for way too long without seeing security improve catherine all the 0 in not evil province in a democratic republic of congo. russians have begun voting in parliamentary elections. they have 3 days to cost that balance for representatives to the duma, that many candidates who are opposed to president vladimir putin have been excluded from the elections. he has been at smith's reports from moscow. the kremlin will be hoping this long line of voters can be relied upon to by united russia. the pro vladimir putin party wants to hold onto the super majority in the state duma, the low house a problem. they face an hours long wait on hold moscow. morning they put voted anytime in the next 3 days, the election commission says the military personnel coming up the night shift,

a russian independent election monitoring group goal offs, pointed out the lack of people in uniform. what through school? well, the thing is that more more russian citizens don't believe in the legitimacy of these elections. it's just to show. nobody actually believed in free elections in the soviet union, just became accepted for the communists to get 99 percent of the vote will boot and wants to create the same status quo that united russia will always have a super majority and people will make peace with that the only entreat now is whether it's only the kremlin that can influence voters or small voting come to the idea of smart or tactical voting came from allies of jailed opposition. activists, alexi, vonny, they've drawn up a list of candidates most likely to defeat united, russia. and so at least deprive the party of its super majority, but not voting up where you enter your voting district. and it tells you who should vote for. now the kremlin has told apple and google this app is illegal,

and both companies are now taking it off their stores. united russia had just 27 percent support and pre election polls should i think there's widespread public dissatisfaction with corruption and whole living standards. but the russian president still enjoys around 60 percent approval. let me put in his isolating after coming into contact with someone who tested positive for cove at 19. he voted online. as you can see, under sanitary constraints and quarantine, i did my civic duty online in electronic format. such voting system is used in many countries of the world and has been used in moscow several times. many falling stations in russia like this for much of friday, quiet opposition groups, so they want their supporters to wait until as late as possible on sunday to vote, to reduce the risk of our pilot being interfered with bonus man al jazeera moscow will get a weather update back here on that. he's been after briggs if you k faces. some of

its most severe food shortages in decades made was by the handling more than just a number. an art installation in washington dc towards attention, pandemic victims and bows left behind. and how about this for an unusual football match and tough conditions? we could all the details a little later and this brought ah hello, they're bright skies and plenty of heat. that's the name of the game across the mere least some of us are above average. so that's kuwait's at $44.00 degrees, will come back to that in a sec. we could have some clouds setting up over cats are on saturdays. so though, if you're indo, look to the sky. you may see some clouds drifting through ok back to q 8. now i will see some hazy conditions, monday and tuesday. that's because we've got a shamal when setting up so that kicks around the sand and does so. we see that

hazy sunshine, but your temperature is still above average. it's staying dry in southern portions of pockets. don karachi, 39, we may see a scattering of showers in the hall with a high of 33 degrees. what whether that was over a turkeys the black sea region, northeast black sea region, still impacting parts of georgia, but otherwise, things are looking good. plenty of sunshine here. lot of what weather for the congo we scooped up 61 millimeters of rain over in camera room to all up more than a 100 millimeters. and we see our big storm set up through e, c o b, kenya. and they move toward the west for their toward the south. plenty of sunshine temperatures, heating up keep town at 24, but windy though. up for the eastern cape. we could see gus here about 70 kilometers per hour. port elizabeth has a height of 70. okay. and not a fan see soon the there is a huge group of people at work behind the screen. and the power they have is that

edge to keep swiping through your twitter feed design. the way we click, i agree to the terms and conditions that's designed, and most of us never even give it a 2nd. and actually that's design is what are the rigs, is how designers are manipulating behavior in the final episodes. all hail the algorithm on a jersey and there is no channel that covers world views like we do. and the roaming correspondent, i am constantly on the go covering topics from politics like environmental issues. the scale of the towns is like nothing you've ever seen access to health care. what we want to know is how did these things affect people? we revisit places day, even when they're no international headlines. they're really invest in that not the privilege, as a journalist. oh,

a again this is that he's from, i'm just here every i'm sitting here and so how the headlines the us is for the thing more sanctions of violence continues in the field is northern to grow region . the bypass administration is looking to put pressure on all warning parties to end the fighting. the un security council unanimously voted to extend the mandates of its mission in galveston for a further 6 months. they settled on a temporary extension, given the uncertainty and i've got a strong sense to put austria government is being taken to court. it's accused of not responding quickly enough to occur at 19 outbreak at a ski resort. more than 6000 people from.
