said others can not, i was just thrown dear guy by the put, he's on purpose. if i said i'm going, i'm the way that you tell the story is what can make a difference? me, i india as covey. 19 infections rising again. a political leader among bows, testing is after speaking to rally. ah, hello, i'm sammy. this is al jazeera alive from dell ha. also coming up. yelman's who the rebels release video from the seas. them are on the flagship saying it had weapons . the board with the saudi led coalition invested with carrying medicine. on kong leader,

kerry lam denies press freedom is going think they're off for another. independent outlet closes the doors and fall in silicon valley style homes, faces, years in prison, convicted of invest a fraud, and conspiracy. now, in the light countries around the world is seeing its highest curve at 19 infection numbers in month. dallas chief minister is among the latest to test positive a day after speaking at an election rally where few people were seen wearing masks . cases of also been increasing in the tourist tub of goa. a cruise ship bound for the indian state has been prevented from docking off the more than 60 infections with the tech to the board. elsewhere, the u. k. prime minister says it's clear arising infections of putting hospitals on the evermore strain, but he's resisting any new restrictions for now. that far as johnson adults with

other european governments, which are clamping down, we'll talk about that shortly with rory challenges at a london train station as people head back to work off of the holidays there. but 1st, let's go over the path name ital in new delhi, so they tell us of the strain this is putting on the health care system that you know. right now the bright spot in india is that while cases had been sergeant exponentially hospitals have not yet been overwhelmed. but that's good. well, for our taking no chance, josh this morning in your shop and you can show the winter vacation, or if faculty has all to come back to work and prepare for in chunks of patients. that hospital is in delhi where since have gone up 500 times, i'm a for my to go one of the cases this morning is that all chief minutes are vintage . you are who tested positive, but he's getting no sympathy right now. most of daddy are all of jellies on

restrictions. in fact, the government announced that they would be a weekend off you starting this weekend, but he has been speaking at rallies that election rallies, states that i headed for people in the next couple of months. these ronnie's people are not abiding by over 900 protocols. there's no mosse wearing, and there's no social distances. so people are actually calling it out for having double standards and being responsible. monday. he's not the only political leader who's facing come on the fire, even prime minister, and there is a body, has been hosting valleys and continuing with political events, while most of the country is under some form of restriction. and we've also got this unusual situation involving a cruise ship that's been turned back from what's happening to people by now to have been told that the ship is on its way back to one by which is where it actually left from a couple of days ago. about 60 people on that ship tested positive it's the ship is

carrying about 2000 passengers. but all, all of them offer the vaccine aged buck after the reach and go to some people who refused to admit themselves in isolation, affinity. so the entire ship is heading back with people isolating on board. this has the sauce like on the situation and go out, which is one of the top to its destination, especially this time most over the last weekend. there are many videos and photos of people showing caution to the wind parking and bringing in the newer that beach is not wearing. now every 4 lawson in go is tested positive for the virus. the government has announced in night graph you that and schools and colleges have also been shocked. all right, thank have me, let's talk about the situation now on that cruise ship as have ne was explaining their 100 passengers on board that cruise ship in the mediterranean.

like if i'm actually with about another cruise ship. this time we'll talk about one in the mediterranean and a 100 people on board have tested positive. the m. s. c. grandiose arrived at the northwest in italian port of genoa. on monday it's now docked near rome. most of the passengers from italy, those who live in the area have been allowed to bomb the rest of being accommodated in local medical facilities where they'll have to stay until they test negative. get some more news and cove it and europe rolly challenge is that london bridge train station? usually a very busy place. how does it look right now, rory? well this whole back to work thing i think should come with a great big flashing asterisk leading to 3. follow me only caveat snub one of which is should we even be coming back to were given that the government is advising anyone who could work from home to do so. secondly,

all you well enough to go back to work with the reported 1000000 brittany's either or sick with cove it or self isolating because you know, someone in that household having it, there are many, many people who aren't able to go back to work and can you actually get to work even if you are evil. and what enough that the train system is. i have to say a bit of a mess at the moment with cancellations because of engineering work and because of staff shortages, cobra related stuff, you'll see it all across the system. so many, many parts the system and operating on its own skeletal service. now the government says that it's tar states cabinet ministers with preparing for a worst case scenario of perhaps one in 4 people being off from work. and obviously that is going to hit if it happens services like the n h s a national health service and the transport networks like other countries,

the u. k has tweaked the isolation rules to mean that people come back to work again soon after they have tested negative from cave it. but yes, the situation at the moment, as you can see, there should be rush out one of london's busiest train stations, but it's not looking very roughly at the moment. isn't looking very russia. how's it looking at schools? the supposed to go back to businesses usual all day and the yep. schools back as well today. and there are some tweaks being made to the rules and regs for people's and staff in the schools, high schools, at least one of the few tweaks that bar johnson has actually made to the system, which he calls plan b, that the u. k is under the name of the co regulations, the other parts of the united kingdom, scott, well, northern, on and etc. have title rules, england alone really in the u. k. c, or

a rarity in other parts of europe as well as being very, very light touched. but one of the things part johnson said, was the high school students when they go back to school, they have to now where mar, aiden classrooms. there was already announcement that returning students would have to test 2 or 3 times a week, either on the sites or at home. now, this the teaching staff and teaching giddeons are angry. yes. again, with the government, i have to say they've been angry with the government for its decisions that decisions that a lot of the time at through, through the coven pandemic, the angry with them again, because this announcement about mos in school was made on sunday. and it was brief to the papers and they say, well, hold on 2nd, you should have told us before you actually went to the press with this. they're also saying that there's not enough money being allocated for staff shortages and for improving the ventilation systems in schools. so back to school, not to be happy. all right, thanks so much roy each other. now, yelman's healthy rebel say never all the flagship they seized was carrying military

supplies. the cargo vessel was taken near the empty fort city of data on sunday. the whole thies released video from the ship saying it shows, weapons, and other equipment aboard. the saudi led coalition says the vessel was transporting medical supplies, saudi arabia and its allies have been at war with her for almost 7 years now. i'm in the tub has more from the em. any capital santa we couldn't tell exactly. is telling the truth with the how these military spokesperson during his pressure, has revealed some pictures that he says, show the, the, the you a flag, cargo, cargo ship carrying weaponry, armored vehicles, and also marian boats. but, but we couldn't confirm such pictures that had been revealed by the how the spokesperson also the, the, the other side of the high quality is saying that it was creating medicines or

other civilian stuff. the situation is really developing rapidly. the, during the pressure during the process explained about the operation, how, how they have conducted this operation of the, the cost of data where the have monitor kept to this ship. according to the statement of the how these spokesperson, he says that the have kept monitoring this ship for 4 weeks according to her to, to him and also the, the, via the a kick used it all for carrying alto style activities and the long, the, the red sea and hong kong leader, kerry lamb as rejected claims the territories press freedom, faces extinction. no follows the closure of a 3rd independent news outlet on monday. at atoria, leaders from citizen news said they're worried about the safety of their journal. in october,

the outset was accused of misleading people about the impacts of hong kong, national security law, which was imposed by bay ging. i read news about because of the kosher off um, online medium. uh, press read. i'm in hong kong facing extinction or hong kong, freep free press bases collapse. i just cannot accept that sort of allegations, but nothing is more important than the rule of law in hong kong. and journalists and media organizations like or of us, have to respect and comply with the law if they are fearful for not being able to comply with a lot. and they have to make up their mind and take the necessary positions. brick climate has more now from hong kong citizen, yours is winding up its operations in the building behind me and will now stop updating its website after it said it could no. 1 longer continue sizing the safety of its staff. it's the 3rd media outlet to close after stand use last week. the

arrests and raid of a new for and the 4th closure. 1 of apple, daily and june, last year, citizen years described itself as a small boat and for men to sleep rough seas. it's found a chris young said that he hoped it would not deterred young journalists from taking part in the industry. and that there still a role for media here in hong kong. however, it's still unclear whether the remaining outlets, like hong kong free press can survive in this environment. chief executive carry lamb said that it's not about press freedom that it's about upholding the national security law. while hong kong authorities deny there's a crack down here and say they are not targeting the media. the hong kong journalist association says that attacks on the press threatened the status of hong kong as ages world city. hong kong was once known as a thriving hub for media outlets. but since the national security law was introduced in 2020, that change. and now there are big fears over where the independent journalism here

is being crushed. a hong kong caught her sentenced lawyer child hung tongue to 15 months in prison. she was convicted for inciting, an unauthorized gathering. to commemorate the chinaman square massacre, ciao was arrested last year. they before the june anniversary of the 1989 crack down in bay jane. she was convicted on similar charges in december. the sentencing on tuesday means she'll spend 22 months in jail, police of band the annual chinaman video for the past 2 years. fighting current of virus restrictions. tens of thousands of people have fled their homes. there's heavy rain causes flooding in malaysia. the latest rainfall started on sunday, causing rivers to several, in several states to rise to dangerously high levels. at least 50 people have died in flooding since mid december. more than 125000 have been displaced and

torrential rain and indonesia for more than 20000 people out of their homes. several districts in north have been inundated by water authorities, say one child has died, residence waded through 3 salvaging what they could from their properties. documentation shelters have been set out by the regional government, but many say they haven't received any aid. the weather is next, then fighting against a landfill 5 leaves the death of the mexican activists and gone as breeches reopened for the 1st time in almost 2 years. and not everyone. welcome honey. why? the me now it is the rainy season to expect rain throughout se asia and huge amounts of

cloud. it looks again from the forecast is the over water where the heaviest shower will be. what we've seen a lot recently in singapore and quote number. you'll still get showers here, but i think is heavy is as of late in the flood. risk moved a bit further south into bornea and it's still around in pits the southern sumatra, maybe java and any routes bureaus to the east. you also will affect the fall north of australia, but actually the most likely obvious weather is this around walls, tropical soc loan. seth was still putting at the exit. circulating area of low pressure is close the beaches in the gulf coast just south of brisbin because of a huge amount of swell, and that's right, continue for the next day or so. this onshore breeze means shall seem likely further south in melbourne can reset some significant sundry weather recently. this is going to continue, i suspect route thursday in tasmania. but the rest of australia, including perf, looking quite fine, dry and warm to $34.00 in per so the focus of brisbin then not particularly when the bit breezy that huge swell, 30 dying down

a little bit on friday in new zealand. after a warm spell, disappointingly, it's cooling down on thursday. a step beyond the comfort zone, where assumptions a challenge, travel to the ends of the earth, and further experience the unimaginable and the people who live with stream choice. and i've been involved in how quickly things contract award winning documentary, but also a perception witness on a just oh,

a bank. you're watching out of time to recap our headlines. a cruise ship bound for the indian tourist public gala has been prevented from docking optimal than 60 cobra. 1900 infections were detected on board cases are surging worldwide in italy. more than $100.00 passages tested positive on a cruise ship in a mediterranean sea. grandiose arrived at the northwest in italy, in full of geno. monday is now dawn near rome. hong kong leader, kerry lamb is rejecting accusations the territories press freedom faces. extinction becomes officer a 3rd, independent new out prison on the on close. once a young rising star in silicon valley, elizabeth holmes is now a convicted criminal. the 37 year old is found guilty of fraud and conspiracy. she

falsely claimed her now defunct tech company, could test for diseases using a single drop of blood. rob reynolds has more from the sand to do. the story of elizabeth holmes became a cautionary tale about the limits of technology and the boundless notice of greed and gullibility. homes. his start up thera, nos promised devices that would revolutionize medicine by screening patients for a vast variety of illnesses with only a drop of blood. she adopted the attire and manner of silicon valley disruptors like apple founder, steve jobs are actions that will determine this new stereotype around women being the best in science and technology and engineering. and it's that, that are a little girls will see when they start to think about who do they want to be when

they grow up. accepting the hype, homes was lauded in the media investments poured in from the likes of news. corporations, rupert murdoch, and oracles. larry ellison, former trump education secretary, betsy divorces, family sunk $100000000.00 into the venture to elderly secretaries of state. henry kissinger. and george sholtes were sufficiently beguiled by homes as blandishments to join the company's board of directors. but it was all a fake. the blood testing machines, homes promise never worked. investigative journalists and prosecutors began poking holes in her claims. eventually the whole enterprise toppled like a house of cards. there are nos closed down in 2018. prosecutors argued holes performed sake demonstrations falsified reports and made misleading claims. the 37 year old holmes testified in her own defense,

blaming everything on her ex boyfriend, co, defendant and former thoroughness executive, ramesh bonnie. but in the end, unlike so many before the jury wasn't buying it, homes faces a maximum of 20 years in prison for each count. she is expected to appeal. grub reynolds al jazeera was angeles. are joining us from sidney is david vale. the lead for data protection at the university of new south wales. allen's hub, good to have you with us. do you think this trial is going to impact the way that silicon valley businesses operate the way they sell themselves? it's been very high profile. i know there's a lot of attention there in the startup ecosystem specially in silicon valley. and you know, since it's the pinnacle she was the, the post, the child of the, the cult of disruption that we knew we different, we could come from california and, you know,

done off too many questions. it's just amazing. and when you look behind all of the claims about that, so, but in particular, what the technology actually did, it turned out that it was a sham the fact that they were using other all the technology to actually do some of the test work and her own tests were so inaccurate, the data that people would've got the, you know, the trust a lot of tests would have been wrong. it's just an indication that, you know, having technology that doesn't work doesn't stop you from raising vast amounts of money, then jump in. and if you look at it this way, ok, this may have been an extreme case, but could not be argued that a lot of start top tech companies figure it out as they go along. but in the meantime, they promote themselves endlessly as being the best thing since sliced bread. well that's right. to some extent,

both in terms of the technology and in terms of your market visibility. you've got to do that. you've got to the over promise of bits and in particular, you need to trial your technology and you to right make mistakes. move ahead of the problem here is a sort of almost a mantra of the sort of software focused technology stops where in fact he can throw away only because one day come back next day. and you might have actually damage someone's life in the meantime. but your new stuff will be okay in the real world product when you're actually touching people's lives. when you're getting them to rely on you, you find that, you know, not being able to deliver your promise is a real problem. and then you're starting to rely on lawyers and i understand she spent a mail on lawyers, but in terms of setting up the claims and promises that may but also trying to defend in the end that hasn't worked in one sense is actually the truth,

the work of the investigative journalists, particularly from the water journal, been successful and she got to this point and the, the claims have been endorsed by, by those guilty goodies. i noticed in all of this, it wasn't the claims about all the charges about defrauding the patients. that were, it was the ones about invested, so maybe even they're more focused on the invest has been on the ice and that, that's nicely waste. my next point was looking at what was done and said in the trial then has a clear line been drawn between what is acceptable, shall we call it enthusiastic, promotion of one's belief in one's self and vision. and what is illegal activity looked at. that's a hard one because as we said, you need to try and stir up interest in something that's not quite there yet. and

obviously steve jobs from apple was the, the, the hero here who managed to persuade people of all sorts of things that he had. it was the reality distortion effect stopped people looking too closely and just hoped it would. the future would bring what he was promising. i think it made a little bit simpler here because she did really obvious stupid thing. she apparently cut and pasted the logos of drug firms and other corporate partners or boxes onto documents when they weren't actually there. so that makes it much easier for the prosecutors. not so much. what did she promised? what was reality? you know, how inaccurate was all sorts of technical details which can get very murky. it was so you sent this document out. people trusted it because of the logo on it and that was a role. very simple. so, underlying technology in that sense,

you might find that there's a lot of the startups and a lot of the entrepreneurial who i sort of believe in this that the man could behind this my think they can still get away with it. i think the tide is turned because there's been so many examples with disappointments and actually criminal activity, fraudulent activity. oh, or things that will put people's lives at risk going on the, you know, the days when people would be prepared to go along with this, whether it's ordinary uses patients or investors or regulators. i think this will be one of the key cases that names the bait received into the past. all right, good to get your thoughts. thanks for talking to us, david sale my pleasure. activists in the central mexican state of morales. so demanding accountability for the death of environmentalist who had spoken out against the reopening of a landfill site. supporters of rodrigo vasquez, what are they say? he was killed by gangs involved in the waste management industry. minute apollo,

explains trash can be a dirty business anywhere. but in mexico, it can also be deadly. last year grow that he got morales in environmental activist who often criticized the reopening of this land. and the city of gwyn lavaca was shot and killed by an unknown gunman. many people here believed that he was death was a direct result of his activism nor thinking unless it goes fancy as the circumstances of the connection, not clear. but it is evident that this occurs in the context of the reopening of this landfill. of the fact that he has expressed things on social media and made comments, making it clear that rodrigo intended to continue the fight against the landfill. the lo mother may he, a landfill, had been shut down for almost 10 years after studies found the site had contaminated a local aqua. when the landfill reopened, in april of 2021 activist and local residents took to the streets and protest,

like he said, the own elk that a colossal cation here was very violent. residents say that i was even gone, the fire ha local say each time there were protests, there was violence. human rights observers saves rule that he goes, case is not uncommon in mexico, adding that a dangerous intersection exists between waste management and criminal enterprise billing wizard. and he held up what if organized crime because it implies this collision of interests. corruption of officially with those companies that are sometimes frontal conversations on it because they arrive here and they have no experience providing a survey at a recycling center in cuernavaca, friends of rodrigo morales say he was a recycling advocate and an active proponent of sustainability from apple yahoo! he supported me and my mother more than any one i was always calling out. and what did he go? what illegal? but now with who has gone now, what do we do without when we go? the company that operates the low mother, me, he a landfill, did not respond to al jazeera, his request for a comment. but in investigation into the road that he goes dead is underway by

state authorities. rodriguez, it was one of 25 human rights and environmental activists who were killed in mexico in 2021. the united nations human rights office here in mexico city has condemned the violence and has called on the mexican government to do more to guarantee the rights of activists. the mexican government has struggled with waste management policies for years, a growing population and increased garbage imports from the united states almost guarantees. the problem is only becoming more complex. in the case of the loma, they may hear landfill questions over ties to organized crime. remain unanswered and justice and the death of one activist remains elusive. but one thing is, for certain protests and demonstrations against the landfill itself, have not resumed maneuvered up a little al jazeera mexico city. now beaches in gonna have reopened 2 years after being close to the public because of the panoramic. but only people who are

vaccinated will be allowed victoria gates and be reports. oh, the pleasure. beach resulting, gone is capital i cry is once again welcoming visitors. beaches across the country were place to the public in march 2020 because of played with 19 people here were thankful to be back and eager to make up for lost time. don't go out. watch therapy, they're fed the law. i think that very day in that new year we decided to come in have fun year. yeah, by we al devin, every protocol, the strict rules are in place only vaccinated people who are allowed on to the beach and there were plenty of police officers around to ensure compliance. but for those not yet vaccinated all is not lost. a temporary vaccination center is operating just outside the resort. once people have had that jap, they're allowed on to the beach. organizes safety initiative has been a big success, or people don't have to fix the way it gets here directly to us. they don't take,

did he just agree? and then we just thought you'd have us in dogwood one then just to gashodi. gwinnett enjoyed himself despite the optimism, because it numbers and not back to pre pandemic levels. and the extra government restrictions all frustrating for those working in the tourism industry. this long time that he's well schools today because it out. yeah, i can hear about not gonna mess with it, but we will buy deckles our day will come about this and nobody is there no answer . so does that sounded wonderful. god, god, philadelphia, go back home, sancho with you. i've been thinking this all or is greatly a problem this me so you say they're still waiting to receive financial help that was promised by the government. but they're taking comfort from the fact that she has got off to a much better start than the one before victoria gay to be al jazeera.
