united nations tells ethiopia, it has no legal right to expel 7 limits. officials and former george and president macau soccer really is detained just hours after his return from an atm exit. ah, the united states has surpassed 700000 debts from cobit 19. it remains the world's worst affected country, accounting for around 15 percent of world wide fatalities. globally, more than 4700000 people have died from the disease. around 67 percent of eligible adults in the u. s. are fully vaccinated, but 70000000 americans remain unvaccinated. despite the fact that vaccines are widely available and they're free. what dr. oscar elaine is an epidemiologist and a national public health official. he explained more about how lower vaccination rates are impacting the number of cases and deaths in some areas were seen

significant a pockets of course in the southeast, in the, in the mid west. and definitely in parts of, as we say, southern areas of our, of our country, which justly points to the fact that this of sustain activity, and especially the way it's impacting the unvaccinated, is, is such a concern. especially as we talk about the fact that death rates or death camps that we see are lagging indicators. so by the time individuals are dying, we've already gone through a significant progression these, which will continue to perpetuate in our, in our society of forge the sad part of all this when we think about data and more specifically around the access are, there are certain countries in the world where people still don't have access to vaccines, the vaccines are readily available, especially in attendance to individuals who may not necessarily be able to build

themselves of it. and even so we've seen in this country alone, only about $64.00, roughly 65 percent that have gotten one dose at least one dose. but we look at the only vaccinated that that percentage is roughly about 55 percent. so less than half or a little bit more than half sorry, of our population are fully vaccinated. in the midst of a global pandemic, it's totally mystified. or despite the vaccinations, slow down, california is pushing ahead, becoming the 1st us state to make it compulsory for school children to be vaccinated against coven. 19 the governor gavin newsome says the move could go into effect as early as january. the mandate is pending approval from the us food and drug administration, for 12 to 15 year olds, the f d. a fully approved vaccines for students of 16 and august. and in further signs of the struggles of reopening in the us, the broadway musical aladdin has been forced to cancel, shows only 3 days after reopened. disney says the 10 day break came after several

curb infections were reported among it's cast and crew despite all of them being fully vaccinated. is the 1st corona virus related cancellation of a broadway show. so say, began reopening over the last few weeks and us pharmaceutical company merck says trial show it's experimental kobe 19 pill treatment, reduces hospitalizations and deaths by half. its data has not yet been published, or peer reviewed. merck is seeking emergency use authorization in the us. if approved. it would be the 1st pill for coven 19. dr. zahir shaw is an internist and primary care doctor. he says the pill is a significant development it is a. ready real game changer in our treatment of this global pandemic that has in so many ways, shut down civilization. so it's a very exciting day. it's a good day. but this is a drug that mark has developed. i am. my understanding is that there are other pharmaceutical companies that are also very competitively going to be bringing

their versions of this drug, this anti virus agent to the marketplace. and basically what it does is it inhibits the replication of the virus by causing errors in its genetic code. remember, it's an r n, a virus, so transmit r n a to r and a, and this new medication. quite shockingly, because the conventional wisdom was that we could not come up with an anti viral medication to treat an r n, a virus like co. 19 a lo and behold, science as delivered once again. now, this is all preliminary. now this has been peer reviewed, but i can tell you this. if a phase 3 trials gets shut down early because the data looks good, that's a very promising sign. this is an amazing, i mean this may be actually from a scientific point of view in more startling development than the vaccine itself. some of it is now in the white house in the u. s. president and members of his democratic party had made progress. i tried to rescue job biden's economic agenda

in a ram, move for american presidents biden met with his party members on capitol hill. divisions among democrats threatened his ambitious plans with progressives voting to block a trillion dollar infrastructure bill without launch a social spending, a greater focus on climate change. rosen, jordan has more from washington even though you as president joe biden's trip from the white house to capitol hill was televised on friday afternoon. the democratic leader didn't get what he wanted. members of his party agreeing to vote on 2 key pieces of legislation. a $1.00 trillion dollar infrastructure bill, as well as a $3.00 trillion dollar social services and environmental package. that's because progressives and conservatives in the democratic party are split on just how much money to spend, even though they all say they want the same things. now the members of the progressive wing, the more liberal wing, have been holding things up in the house of representatives. they say they're

members were sent because their voters want to see more spending on things such as health care, education, child care, and a clean environment. and they intend to deliver, they say without a guarantee that that $3.00 trillion dollar bill is going to be passed. they're not going to vote for the $1.00 trillion dollar infrastructure bill, which would improve roads, bridges, internet connections, telecommunications and the nation's power. grid because of this political standing, the president was called in, basically to try to get the more conservative wing of the democratic party and the more liberal wing to find common ground. but even after that closed door entreaty, they didn't really agree on what to do next. this is what the president had to say as he left capitol hill on friday afternoon. doesn't matter whether it's a 6 minute day or 6 week,

we're going to get it done because members of the health didn't not vote on a full infrastructure bill. the one that's already been passed by the u. s. senate . they instead spent friday evening voting on a short term 30 day funding package to take care of us until transportation industry needs. that means they're going to have to come back and deal with that matter in a months time. in the meantime, members of the house of representatives are going back to their districts across the country for the next 2 weeks. if negotiations turn out any sort of wheel, compromise that members of the entire party are willing to support. they could be called back to washington, but as with every thing here, don't hold your breath. the united nations, as told ethiopia as prime minister, it doesn't accept the countries decision to expel 7 of its senior personnel. ethiopia says the officials are being removed from meddling an internal affairs of the country. denouncement came off of the u. n. z. a chief said

the ethiopian foreign ministry has doubled down, issuing a new statement, giving more details of what it says is the meddling by the 7th staff in internal affairs. it also says that a discussion of the issue by the un security council would be a blatant violation of its national sovereignty. but that discussion has taken place a closed session of the security council coming as it's now october, under the presidency of kenya, a neighbor of ethiopia, that has close relations with the country. i asked kenya's ambassador whether by its actions, ethiopia, now risk becoming a pariah state. the kenyan government and our delegation certainly is, is not considering our questions about perio state or, or what the response of the european government is. we are considering all the statements, including some of the communications are from the foreign ministry by twitter. and we're con to noon, to actively be informed and trying to be responsive to the situation as it

evolves. but we have every hope that it will r got in a positive direction. so what is the next step? i am told ireland is currently circulating the draft of a statement to all the security council members. all of them though, must agree before it is issued. residents in a small colombian towns, an influx of mostly haitian migrants, is pushing them out of housing. the migrants are trying to catch boats on their way north of the u. s, but far fewer people a day can leave than arrived. the u. s. is expected to confirm soon how many refugees it will accept over the next 12 months. president biden wants to increase the re settlement ceiling 282-5000 georgia's. for my president, mikhail soccer really has been detained just hours after riding back in the country for the 1st time in years. earlier, he posted a video on facebook saying he wanted to support the opposition in saturday's election despite the risk of arrest socket. when he left georgia in 2013,

when his 2nd term, as president ended years later, he was sentenced in absentia to 6 years in prison for abuse of power, a charge he called political motivated robin forest walker has more now from the capital to be sure. i understand that he was actually detained here in tbilisi, having somehow escaped or the authorities since posting that video early this morning from by to me, which is on the coastal, which is on the coast here on, on the black sea, he made it to tbilisi and he then said that he said he faced likely arrest. we then had a statement from the prime minister saying that that arrest operation had been carried out. and we've now seen a smiling recall sacristy being taken into prison. we understand that prison is en, route savvy to town, not far from the from to be c itself. i really, that just kept an extraordinary dane george in politics because michael sec s. v. a

has made disappearance on the eve of municipal and merrill elections, which the opposition consider is really important because they hope that george, in public will come out to more and vote decisively against the georgia dream government. so because secretary has picked this moment now finally, after all these years to return and shake up the dude and political c still to come here and al jazeera, including catalogs, 1st legislative elections. we tell you what to expect from the sure council vote and guineas to later sworn into office. we'll look at what it means for the country and the region more in that state. ah, it's another beautiful sunny day at 35000 feet. the weather sponsored by cattle airways, voted will's best air line of 2021. hello,

june 30th regime. that's the regime that was headed by a, from a president all my dad was he'd, many of the process of here came all the way from up by a neighboring river mouthpiece. they say that the flight, the sabotage that was made on the railways, delaying their trips, and making them not join the processes yesterday. they still want to let the civilian component of this transitional government know that they have their support and they want to for the military. that civilians not just in the capitol up to, but other parts of the country. despite political differences in the ruling coalition, the brilliant still have the majority and still have the support of the street and the demonstration of the line. now, the reason we're out here is because of the recent coo and we want the military to hand power to civilian rule. the other reason we came out to protest is because of the discord they're trying to. so between the military and the people of sudan, we have no issue with the military institution, or real problem is with those from the former regime in the military institution, the officers who want to overthrow the government and our revolution game. while

some people say that their issue is not with the whole military institution, but rather individuals, others are calling for complete and to the partnership between the military and the civilians. that them enter the transitional government. but people here say they all agree on one thing. they want to let the military know that despite the political differences between the ruling called attend the political parties, people here pro fair, a civilian rule over a military rule, and that the military, the political policies. i'm a sibling component of this transitional government has their backing and their support. gimme is cooney to accommodate dea, has been sworn in as interim president. he led last month's military takeover that ousted long time lead to african day. in buddha's military government unveiled a transitional chart on monday, and it says will stay of the country back to civilian rule. the regional block, a collage is demanding electrons be held within 6 months, and the coding conduct release. nicholas hawk is following the story from deco in neighboring synagogue wearing sunglasses inside the integration halt. lieutenant
