so, today we're vanish. am to sunny is the spokeswoman of you and human rights office. she describes the need for a deeper investigation into the situation in ethiopia. access has been severely limited or human rights monitors and also for humanitarian access. particularly in the t grid region, we're seeing, you know, 90 percent of the population in need and unable to receive monetary assistance. we collect information. what we've been in that is for a while we have courses across. busy the country, so we do manage to collect information, but it's becoming more and more difficult to corroborate and verified. we put out a report last month where we need out the kinds of horrible allegations of human rights violations and violations of international humanitarian. both committed by all parties to the complex and the tree and office as well as the degree in forces. do we said that some of the physicians may amount to war crimes,
6:10 pm
crimes against humanity and we did call on the government. so it is not always the state initially to ensure that allegations of such violations are investigated. ringback the government reacted positively and the need to set up a task force to, to carry out investigation. now, it remains to be seen how much progress on this task force will make. in the absence of progress, i domestic mechanisms. we do believe that there is a need for an international as we tend to our top story now on the current situation across the world. with the pandemic, u. s. health officials are recommending americans choose the pfizer or magellan vaccines, instead of johnson and johnsons. mike hanner has been following this story from washington day say, hello there, mike. why has the cdc made this recommendation? now while the cdc was acting on the advice of a panel of experts to have been investigating the effects of the various vaccines.
6:11 pm
and they found that in the case of j and j, as some of 50 women had developed thrombosis bed 9 of them subsequently died. now this is a very small figure, but it was enough to cause the experts to recommend to the c d. c. to recommend that if other vaccines are available not to take the johnson and johnson vaccine to be very clear, they are not saying, do not take the j j vaccine. they are saying, if there are other back scenes available, preferably you take those rather than the j and j, they are not talking about j and j be any less effective. what they are saying is, is a minuscule, greater chance of some kind of complication, a taking the j and j vaccine, which they have not yet found in the other 2 back scenes that are widely available within the united states. and mike, what's the current situation across the u. s. right now in relation to cove at 19
6:12 pm
numbers. it's terribly bleak. her the rate of infection has been increasing substantially in the region of 40 percent over the last month alone. there are some $120000.00 cases being reported each day. now, in terms of the death rate, some $1300.00 americans are dying every single day. so certainly the rate of infection is increasing substantially. health experts saying this is being driven both by the delta barrier as well. now, by the ami kron variant, which is becoming a more widely seen within the united states. and just to add as well, there's another complication, and that's a political one. what research indicates is that those living in republican states have far higher infection rates in those living and democrat ones. this is associated with the lack of desire among republicans in particular to get
6:13 pm
vaccinated. some 40 percent of republicans only according to polls had been vaccinated. so they composed the bulk of those americans who remain and vaccinated, and that's in the region of just over 35 percent. so certainly there's a political connotation to this which highly complicates an issue in which we already seeing a major surge in the rate of infection of the corona virus as the holiday season approaches. they sent me awesome, staggering figures. thank you for that update. my can ally for us in washington dc . an outbreak of corona virus in a prison in southern thailand has provoked riots by inmates around 400 have been involved in the unrest which started on thursday. as fires began and cells were destroyed, prisoners demanded better access to medical care. after some with severe symptoms were sent for treatment. 3 men who tried to climb over the prison wall way,
