fighting between government and ethnic current forces intensified violence was triggered by a military raid last week. and the asian officials say they will not offer refuge to a group of wrangle on a stranded vote. will be turned away, they will help repair it 1st, the not providing food. it was 1st sponsored by the fisherman on sunday, back to our top story, the new wave of covey, 19 infections. let's bring in simon clark. he's the head of division of biomedical sciences and biomedical engineering at the university of reading joint us via skype life from there. good to have you with us. so 1st of all, it does seem like the year is kind of ending as it began with a search of covey cases. but is it fair to say it's different this time? this is not a repeat of what happened at the beginning of the pandemic. we're in a better place, and all mcclellan is not as deadly as the 1st wife. we

are definitely not in the same place as we were 12 months ago. in the u. k, at least we actually have a much higher number of infections. but it's with a barrier which for some reason it appears to be less fairly, less able to cause disease, at least in younger people. so far the ones who have been infected by a reduction inability because they might be to in some more, in total, incomplete st. paul, to the fact that we've had a large scale vaccination program, and we know that the vaccines reduce your risk of getting seriously ill with other variance and it's perfectly reasonable to see that it's playing paul with chrome as well. so is that probably the main reason why we are in rather the place to, to where we were a year ago. the same time,

many governments seem to be deciding against very harsh, locked down. so that's a good approach. when it's taking into account the, the seemingly low level of hospitalizations and as i said say, fall, the infections in the u. k. at least probably been younger people. and so you would expect a lower level of hospitalisation as about meets an old population. that's not even got infection needs in all the population. so many really talking about people in their forties upwards, not necessarily elderly people in that situation might. and i emphasize in some might change and that's what will have to be watched if it's not changing. if indeed it is relatively low level in terms of pathogen s t in them. great. we can, i think start to lift those restrictions that we already have in place. if not, then we may see the tightening. so it's a gamble when governments decide to do,

do you think that part of that gamble is a calculation of want to put 1st health or, or economics business people being able to eat? i think the government's quite riley has the way to to and it's not necessarily a case of putting wealth before health or weighing the to in the balance and say the moment there is not enough evidence to justify the health benefits or potential health benefits. i should say of further restrictions, and they're probably right in that or i will leave it there. thanks so much. you're welcome. the 8th round of talks to revive iran. 2015 nuclear deal is ongoing. the 8th frowned, resumed in vienna on monday. rons foreign minister once guarantees us sanctions,

will be lifted on a rainy and oil sales force. and jabari is in vienna with more there's certainly a sense that to this could be the most critical round yet. since the european signatories to the nuclear deal triggered the dispute mechanism in january of this year, because the u. s. love to deal and iran with reduced commitment to the nuclear agreements . the russian ambassador to the talk says that this could possibly be the final around the e. u coordinator, who's hosting the talk said that time is of the essence. and of course, they're going to have to be difficult decisions made in teheran and washington for there to be a conclusion to these talk. and of course, the reading delegation, who arrived in vienna on monday morning. and they are saying that they're here because they know that their talks are leading summer, otherwise they wouldn't be here to begin with. i spoke to the deputy foreign minister from iran, who is the head of the negotiating team from the iranian side. and he had the

following to say about where things stand after the 1st they concluded that amount or just that was in my opinion, it's been a good beginning all sides. emphasize the importance of lifting sanctions. and the issue of verification and guarantees should be on the agenda. so based on this, it was a great the 1st issue this going to be on the agenda in this round is the issue of guarantees and verification. and then the working groups will continue their work in the area of lifting sanctions in the banking and financial sexes. the main issues iran has now and they're hoping that that will be one of the main things address this week in the 1st few days of the round is the selling of a raining oil on the international market. since the u. s. imposed sanctions on iran in november of 2018. the radians have only been able to sell their oil to 6 countries, which guy got special waivers from the americans. they haven't been able to be paid for that because their banking sectors are also strict sanctions. and that is one

of the main issues right now before that the iranians were selling nearly $3000000.00 barrels of oil per day. they were opec's, 4th largest producer. one of russia is most prominent and all this human rights groups has been ordered to shut down by the supreme court. prosecutors argued that memorial had broken a law, requiring many rights groups to register as foreign agents. defense lawyers say the case was politically motivated by the smith now over the past 12 months. this is become a familiar scene for human rights groups and activists in russia. this time, the axis colon on an organisation made famous for identifying the millions of victims of stollins purchase. as the judge finished reading the order to liquidate memorial shouts of shane came from a public gallery. ah, that is telling to ours live. russia is moving from the,

or the re theory and he didn't system for some kind of post mortem totally theory system in russia, which would be kind over linkage with a soldier for you and you and partly to the stolen. so it's very dangerous. more recently, memorial has spoken out against the discretion of critics under president vladimir putin o. outside court as elsewhere, there's little room for that. in today's russian, prosecutors accused memorial of organizing large scale media campaigns aimed at discrediting the russian authorities. china. what happened today was very sad, although it would be untrue to say we weren't ready for it. it was one of the unfortunately predictable outcomes of the present judicial system. of course, nothing is over with us. we will appeal and the maria will live on with the people

because it's the people behind it's having this great cause. first and foremost, their work will continue the move against memorial caps a year that has seen authorities jail or outlaw individuals or groups. the criticize vladimir putin but the ban against memorial international stands out even in the current climate and would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. bernard smith, al jazeera recent violence committed by far right groups in italy as ignited a national debate on fascist monuments across the country. experts. a few people are questioning whether the statues of those who pushed for racist causes in the past should be demolished. and rainy reports from italy's capital, rome. nearly 80 years after his fall, benito mussolini obelisk still towers into the roman sky. it stands outside the photo italy co, formerly known as the ford, mussolini. it's here,

the dictator built a sports complex to cultivate the new man of his fascist regime. people have mixed feelings about these monuments establish with the present. that's your and seeing all the stadiums in these monuments forces us to face the past every day. by not forgetting the past it, make sure that we won't repeat it a story. so toward i a, this is italian history and architecture and it needs to stay as it is this stadium bill under mussolini direction. is a reminder of the importance of sports for him. he saw as a way to build a national identity. fascist also saw sport as a way to prepare the population for war. and inside the complex of fresco of mussolini still graces the walls. prime ministers have given speeches here in recent years under the gaze of the former dictator who collaborated with hitler and the holocaust. across the country monument to fascism are everywhere.

some pay homage to saline for public works. others glorify the regime for creating an italian empire. experts say that, unlike germany, italy never had a reckoning with its fascist past. decades later, italy also stands apart from a global movement pushing to tear down statues of enslavers and those who fought for racist causes. even one of italy's oldest anti fascist organizations is against demolishing fascist monuments and malta simply she's see go air for it wouldn't be too simplistic to do that in a distraction from the real work we haven't raised any of our history. even bed parts from ancient rome, we have made a point of explaining it. and that's what we should do with fascism historian andrei. ammonia says there seems to be an acceptance of these monuments. there is a sort of normalization or legitimate zation of fascism who will should explain

to people that that was a brutal or a gene that was the tougher ship. and even if we leave monuments, we should the knowledge that that is not them all. chris, if something else a common reframe in italy, is that fascists were brutal, but they did good things too. with that idea in mind, it's likely there monuments will stand for years to come. adam rainy al jazeera rome smalley is suspended, prime minister mohammed the rabble as accused the president of violating the constitution and trying to overthrow the government tensions been rising since president month for module suspended, rob lay on sunday is accused the prime minister of looting public land owned by the somali national army plays refusing to accept to suspension. he says for module is trying to disrupt the country long delayed elections in order to stay in office

is professor emeritus of international law at western sydney university. he's also the director of the international institute of space floor. he says out space is becoming more crowded and countries should take this seriously. beijing did lodge a document with more details with united nations, and so there's no reason to suggest that they're making this up. it's quite unusual the way they have done this, but they have every right on the out of space treaty to talk about what they say, phenomena that risk human life and their claims are there to take notes or we're, we're at risk because of the satellite. so from a legal perspective, they're perfectly within their rights to make this complaint. but as i say, what it does is it highlights that everybody, all the major space faring countries have to take this seriously. i mean, china or itself has said that it wants to send up large constellations of small

satellites, many thousands. and if you think about the numbers of satellites that are being projected to be sent up in the next 5 to 10 years, it was the number that we've been up in the past 60. so you can see the problem only escalating and it really requires all of the space, very nations to sit down and talk about how we going to manage the situation rather than allowing each country to go and regulate their own companies and allow them to send up the satellites or be it that it's their responsibility if something goes wrong. a new commuter rail services begun operating in senegal, official se will help reduce pollution, but many people say it's too expensive for them to use. a setback reports at a cost of $1300000000.00. this new rel project is aimed modernizing, send the goals, transport system,

i'm not going to use it because i'm a business manager, but maybe my employees, those who work for me, who live in the suburbs, will be able to use it and will allow us to have our employees that it takes time to boost production and it's estimated that more than $100000.00 passenger the day will use the trains. and officials say they are designed to protect the environment of the roles in the capital gridlocked with polluting old cars and buses. senegal has one of the fastest growing economies in africa and presidents mackey sell says this is only the start of his plan to strengthen that. with more railways, roads and sports stadiums come, i said, bake. i'll just do companies in chile are turning plastics into products that have the same look and qualities as would the recycling method is so advanced that even uses types of plastic that don't usually get reused. our latin america to lucille newman reports from santiago and he to far fan,

gave up her job as an executive secretary to become what she calls a transformer. making these mountains of plastic waste disappear is impossible. but at this small factory on the outskirts of santiago, but fan and her partners transform it into wood, except that it only looks like it. we are, but i thought alma mater recyclable plastic is everywhere and its properties are even better than those of food. for example, can you believe that this plastic wood is more resistant? it doesn't chip or bend or allow micro organisms to contaminate her, and it won't swell because this waterproof aspect appears on no one. i believe it out. we tested for shells. we're going to see how strong this stuff is. not a scratch, no marks. the plastic waste is minced into minute particles and then melting before to turn it into these would like slabs every used by

n g o z for rollover boardwalks or furniture. let's see what we've got here. this is a motor oil container, fabric softener chlorine, there's lots of that more and lots of little yogurt, liquid yogurt jars, tons of detergent, shampoo, hair conditioner, the sort of things people use every single day. but the problem is there's no way to make it disappear. i want to sort of confirm for what plastic doesn't disintegrate, not even in hundreds of years. i people can if my, the elephant hemp with whom it is plastic number 7, because it has polyethylene and aluminum. nobody recycled. this. it goes straight to the rubbish dumps or the ocean the river loader foundation produces echo wood out of waste. no one wants. they can picnic tables, desks, flowerpots, while teaching children at schools all over chile, the value of recycling and thought must produce this is more or less what

a single person chose out a week and sylvian by children to put it in the bottles. what press it in and we pick it up at their schools and we transform it into this, which recall eco vote. collection centers are being set up everywhere. but critic said this type of circular economy has a fundamental flaw novel and it doesn't remote, a fundamental change in our consumption happens if we continue generating the same amount of waste without changing the productive model that generates it. we're just kicking the ball forward perhaps. but there's one important advantage to this still fledgling industry made from waste. it should help reduce the need to cut down more trees. yes, another environmental casualty of our times. you see in human al jazeera santiago, mozilla had an al jazeera in school to humiliating day for english cricket fold out

dismissal. 68 fine innings. and 14 runs australia containing their dominance at home over england. not last much in the previous 2 series. they've hosting everything on the plan fills, you know, i think a ball has been fantastic in that. yeah, i haven't even feel it. it's been one session where it's really got away from us. yeah, it's just, it brought drains, a made of everyone in that dresser is good. you know, that's not good enough performance. we all know that we need to put some try back into the badge and, and, and make sure we come away from this tool with, with something. you know, this is as simple as i can't really add any more or less testing. make pretty grammar reading for jerry sighed england. 68. that lowest, tough little strange. for a 117 years. it's been a decade since the last one,

a test over there that was in sydney on the way to quenching the 201011 actually series england of last 9 tests in 2021 by the highest number of defeats in a calendar year. or we've been talking for mainland ball a month, monte pianists are about just what went wrong, the tourists? well, i think england have made some selection errors and also decisions. you know, on the few of your new brisbin they should have both of us brought you to play in the 1st test, much in a wristband and you know, i think you know, e c p for prioritized. why will cricket over red bull? and they're in danger. you know, killing the goose, you know that late english in english crickets, golden egg, which is test cricket is the bread and butter it brings in the big box. and they need to kind of, you know, reset the box and like they did with what will cricket 2015. and now they have to do that with cricket driver. it's been a tremendous want to see he's already 61. i think he's only the 3rd batsman in the

history test. cricket, you know, to school 1700, you know, runs in a calendar year and then the rest of the top 7, i think the average in like 22. so it's a huge reliance for the whole year. you know, on jo reed scoring the runs and that's something that they need to address. we see a lot of young domestic batsman want to play t 20 cricket, you know and earn a living there which is you know, a bow a living and they want to do that then actually going to play test cricket. and that's one area they're going to look into possibly, you know, produce flat to pictures, to encourage you know, some of the young about some to think, right? you know, you can by law and learn how to buy long, and then they can take that full into test cricket. and that's something that needs to be addressed. because at the moment this was a typical so county performance at test level. and we just see too many games, you know, in a domestic level definition, 2 and a half days. and it's just not good enough at the moment. if we wanna prioritize

test cricket, which is you know, which, which is, you know, i think england strength, well not too far away from them. album, cricket grounds, some of the wills top tennis players, including 9 may 2nd have arrived ahead of the australian open. i saw because the defending champion hasn't played since september after taking a break from the sport. the focus on a mental health no sign yet of last year's men's champion of a joke, of which he's still to confirm if he's vaccinated only those who have had covered 19 jobs or have a medical exemption will be allowed to compete. manchester not to manage it. ralph regnant criticized his own theme after a woman drove with new castle in the premier league. addison ca vonny scoring the equalizer rudnick side. it was the 1st game more than 2 weeks following a covert outbreak at the club. you cancel a 2nd from bottom in the table. we didn't play, we didn't play good today. so the 1st half was after having been down one love to 7 minutes. we just had too many unforced errors,
