11:02 am
so thought is believe that given how virulent the on the corner variant is cases where rise and keep rising at a fast pace. now, most of the country has been under some form of restriction for a while now. in fact, authorities, even suspended election rallies after a lot of criticism, was pointed towards that. but there are concerns about the religious gatherings that are taking place across the country. now over the next few days, there are several festivals being celebrated across the country. many states have put a restriction on gatherings, but largely the numbers have been concerning, especially in the state of western gold that is expecting about half a 1000000 devil, jeez. now that state has already become a major hotspot, capital city called cut that has the highest positivity rate in the country about 60 percent. what that means is that 2 out of 3 people testing for the virus are
11:03 am
turning out to be corbett. 19 positive. the other criticism has been towards the government's policies and this mixed messaging. you know, couple of days ago the government said that unless you're a high risk, people who have come in contact with go with 1000 patients don't need to test. one of the top epidemiologists in the country said that, you know, or mac run variant of fueled global 19 is like a common good. not the government has clarified that that's not the case, but there has been some flip flopping and confusion which has encouraged people to lead down their god. i'm having a motel there for us in new delhi. thank you. and neighboring pockets, dawn cases, also setting records. daily infections have had a form of pi of more than 3000. the health system is under strain from the surge caused by the only con variant come on. hot has more from the budget on it in the grape of the 5th wave of the car. oh,
11:04 am
no wires. they have been 3000 cases in the large 24 eyes that i've got. is there dangerous sign? because countries while your dignity date now stand that point dread but said, and according to the world health organization guidelines that mean that they should be more testing, they have been reported cases of people having contracted the only cron radiad. most of them, of course, have stayed home the advisory from the government and that be, but it might not change again. i know reading the mod and also decided died. but people are large and focused on are oblivious to the trait of the 5th grade. despite the government warning, the education minister of the country will also be deciding today, where did it did not have to keep the education institution open. the government had won that the people much dig this very seriously because it and now the looming
11:05 am
threat of their delta kron which had been reported in cyprus. and i had a ministry saying, it was a matter of time before dad grady and also lounge on august on the shore. evolve. health organization says more than 50000000 people contracting coven 19 during the past week. that's high. that at any time during the pandemic, it's not more than 50 percent from the previous 7 days. and the w, i, jo says the number of deaths is also rising. let's be clear. why and me con clothes less severe. this is done. delta. it remains a dangerous virus, particularly for those who aren't unvaccinated. almost $50000.00 a week is $50000.00 does too many tardies are of it is a spokesperson for the w h o. he says the virus still poses danger despite some level of progress made to combat the outbreak. 50000 that week is something that we
11:06 am
can not just accept. so although the, the number of that is not surprising that exponentially is the number of infections . we can see more people needing hospital care and that's another burden to, to health systems around the world. we need really to close the gap in vaccination . 85 percent of people in africa has not been vaccinated. an army is particularly a dangerous will. people who are unable to make it, we need to continue that. then we need to try to reduce risk of infection and try to prevent those issues that we understand very much the, all the difficulties that countries around the world are facing with the increasing number of actions. and we have to be also flexible. we can, for example, reduce the number number of days of, of clarity. if we combined that with testing, we can look into surveillance measures and how we can ease that. but control
11:07 am
measures really have to stay in place. we have to do everything we can to, to try to, to prevent people needing a hospital and people die. and that is basically on individual level, keep the behavior that will reduce the risk and on a country level try to box. and they told those who had not been made to yet, and on a global level, really try to get that. i've seen equity that will bring the scenes to those who have not been offered that primary protection. yes, russian lead forces have started withdrawing from context on the ball out is supposed to take 10 days following the worst unrest and decades. precedents cast them jermarta for chi if announced the move on tuesday took i have also appointed a new governments and i can smile of was nominated as prime minister. more than 160 people were killed and nearly 10000 detained during days. the protest against the government and its course live now to robin foster walker, who's in tbilisi,
11:08 am
georgia. robin. so it seems really like this force hasn't been there that, that long. i mean, does this mean it's over as far as the president is concerned? yes indeed, kim, listen festival. i just have to apologize for the gusty winds around me, which might make the audio sound a little bit funny. but i'll do my best and i think and understanding, but yeah, the c s t i wasn't in, in cars, extensive very long. i mean it will take another 1010 days will say before they will gone. but there were concerns from observance for people in the country about the mandate of the military force, how low they would stay. whether they would themselves have a likely to kill ordinary cause acts. this could have been caught up in difficult situations and because at rest and it's been on the rise in the country in recent years, could a cruise for the president if, if they had out stayed,
11:09 am
they're welcome. but it seems as if it's been a launch. busy the symbolic deployment, the president has said that they played a huge psychological influence in ending the unrest. and that's why they're on their way home. these truths, most of them, russian, in the end, just a couple of thousands deployed because it's time we were expecting 3600 people looking further afield. what this means for the c s t o is a big success for the security talk organization led by moscow. and it could conceivably be used again in other countries that a member of this organization whenever there's an unrest or a challenge to the authorities. civil unrest, the cfo could be deployed. robin, what is the latest and in terms of the security situation and conflicts don't well, the president, yesterday, for the 1st time visited much because it's don's main city, the commercial hub,
11:10 am
the center where everything really kicked off where, where, where most of the violence occurred and where, where most people lost their lives. but that's an indication i think that he feel comfortable that the security situation is now under control. having said that there is still many, many people in detention and from the perspective of the families of those who being detained. a lot of people now want to know who is in detention what has happened to their family members? are they getting access to legal support even where they're being held, what they're being held for? these are the concerns of many who now have to deal with the fact that there's so many people that have been detained on suspicion of involvements in the unrest. it took place last week. robin foster walker. thank you.
11:11 am
phil had on al jazeera inflation in the us. it's like 14 year supply chain disruptions called by the pandemic push up price is the households and thousands upon the destroyed by floods in brazil. and this concern the communities are at risk. ah, ah, look forward to burritos guys. with sponsored by cut on airways. hey there, here's her weather in a minute 15 and we're going to begin in europe to southwest to france. eat regions are under flood warnings and that comes after days of rain. so the rain has stopped for now, but we know it will take time for those water levels to come down as a spot, i think we may see some flooding is norway. few reasons for this. first high temperatures, also a high of 10 degrees. so that's melting the snow rapidly melting that snow than
11:12 am
a steady stream of rain pouring into the country. in fact, over the next 24 hours, we could see a $150.00 millimeters of rain after the eastern med rate. now disturbance, we've got there is thrown rain around cypress center. the vans will see bursts of rain, forbade roots with the high 18 degrees. and look at this in north went through the boss for us. that's putting a cap on temperatures in this symbol. just a high of 2 degrees breezy through the a g n, as well as since we've just got yes for 6 off to italy in the bulk in right now, fairly calm, but still our bore a wind for croatia. we'll look for gus there of a 165 kilometers per hour off to iberia in the clear as well, but a bit more cloud cover hanging around madrid with the hiv 8 degrees round the gulf of guinea. we've got some out of season showers. this is impacting opera, guinea, and average on the ivory coast with a high of 28 degrees on thursday. oh, the weather sponsored by casara always joined the debate. non exempt awards. refugees have come from of common impacted country. the climate emergency is
11:13 am
putting more pressure on systems across the world and amplify your voice. it's not related to treat. now, this is not a lock, concrete is, is completed. we cannot lose hope. we know what to do, and we had the tools and to get the last bill. pay for the stream on al jazeera with ah, you're watching our desert a reminder of our top stories this off. india has reported its highest number of coven 19 cases since may last year, almost 250000, just the last 24 hours. that hospital admissions and debts are lower than previous
11:14 am
waves. russian lead forces have started withdrawing from conflict on following the worst unrest and decades. they set to complete the pull out in the next 10 days, or the 160 people were killed and nearly 10000 detained. 3 days of bonnet, anti government protests delivered on now where public transport workers are on strike as the country struggles with an economic crisis. drivers of doc rhodes, across the capitol, they route they're angry of or increasing fuel prices. the sharp devaluation of the currency, the lebanese pound has lost more than 15 percent of its value since the start of the year. the crisis has been caused by growing national dash and political deadlock said a honda has more from beirut. there's anger, there's desperation. many lebanese are struggling to put food on the table. we are at one of the main intersections in bay, ruth. and as you can see, public transport workers, they're blocking roads,
11:15 am
or they're trying to paralyze the country in the hope that this time around the authorities that will listen and hear their demands. they've carried out general strikes in the past, but nothing really has happened. these drivers tell us that they can no longer make and meet the increase in the global fuel prices is aggravating. lebanon's financial challenges because this is the country in need of dollars to purchase fuel. and the local currency has sharply depreciated in recent days. in fact, it has lost 90 percent of its value since late 2019. but in the past 2 weeks alone, it lost 15 percent of its value. so the official exchange rate was $1500.00. today, it's more than $30000.00 and majority of the lebanese people are earning and the local currency. so inflation is high. people are unable to make ends meet, and they're hoping that protest action like this will pressure the authorities to do something about the crisis. people are not optimistic, the government,
11:16 am
the new government was formed 33 and a half months ago. and it hasn't convene in the past 3 months because of a new political crisis in the country. and the government needs to convene in order to come up with an economic recovery plan. they need to put together a state budget, all these conditions that are required by the international monetary fund in order . 5 for a financial bailout package to be reached because like i mentioned is the need of hard currency. it's in need of dollars and as long as there is no dollars, then the currency will continue its free fall. inflation in the united states is hit levels not seen in 40 years with a 7 percent increase on the previous year. the white house blames global supply chain disruptions due to the pandemic. but other se, stimulus programs are the main reason for the rising prices. my kind of reports from washington d. c. prices for groceries rent another, neither the items continue to saw. busy the onus or floor shops are particularly
11:17 am
hard hit, as they see their customers beginning to treat what every day purchases as luxuries you can see have the money flows you can seeing when people are not getting the extras when they're getting copy trip coffee instead of capital you can see it, you can see how they pay if they're paying in coins, be increased in prices is now being felt at every gas station. and in every grocery store. i just think for a little more careful, i notice it in almost every product. fruits vegetables, which we buy a lot of jelly products. i can't really see anywhere that the prices have gone down, but they've gone up bottlenecks in the supply chains of distributors or the primary reason. and these, in turn, the direct result of stopping shortages as a panoramic continues to rage worldwide. at the stage though,
11:18 am
the head of the federal reserve and so there's no need for panic that this is a temporary situation. we will use our tools to support the economy and a strong labor market and to prevent higher inflation from becoming entrenched. it's a similar message coming from the white house, which points to a dropping unemployment rate as evidence that economic recovery is underway and is adamant that the supply chain issue will be resolved. we are well positioned to attack the challenges of prices and cos had on a match exactly what the president i and this administration are doing. but republicans continue to blame stimulus measures for overheating the economy. one thing is clear, it's impossible to predict the ongoing economic impact of the ami kron varian surge, which the nation continues to face. i don't believe we've seen that peak yet here in the united states. the rise in price increases reflect to harsh reality that in
11:19 am
the pandemic, it's not just people who get sick, but the economy as well. my cana auto 0 washington, the british prime minister, is facing growing calls to resign despite apologizing for a party at his official residence, during the height of the current of our islov down in 2020. at the time the government had imposed strict measures confining millions of people to their homes . and your similar reports. ah, horace johnson has never been under such pressure from his own party, the opposition of the people who elected him. he set out to try to defend himself. the key question, did he attend a party for around 40 guess in his back garden, that appears to have breached cove? it restrictions 1st to try to address the british people. i want to apologize. i know the rage. they feel with me and with the government i lead.
11:20 am
when they think that in done in street itself, the rules are not being properly followed by the people who make the rules. and when i went into that garden, just after 6 on the 20th of may, 2020, to find groups of stock before going back into my office 25 minutes later to continue working. i believed implicitly that this was a work event. with hindsight, i should have sent everyone back inside off to months of deceit and deception. yeah . so pathetic spectacle of a man who's run out of road his defense, his defense that he didn't realize he was at a party. ah, it is so ridiculous that is actually offensive to the british ha, with the whole country was locked down. he was posting boozy policies in town,
11:21 am
express. se, now going to take a decent thing and resign. johnson didn't say yes or no, i want her. i want to repeat that, i thought it was a, a work event and apologizing again and telling opposition leader care stammer. he should wait for the results of an inquiry into revelations of several porters in downing street and whitehall. i regret very much that we did not do things differently or that evening. stormer, repeatedly rounded on johnson, the party's over prime minister. the only question is, will the british public kick him out, police party kick him out, or will eating the decent thing and resign yet. and johnson's constituency in north west london, many who watched, wouldn't accept his apology. i'm angry. i, i just think he's a man and doesn't tight responsibility for what he's done. civic, who barbara thought, hey sam,
11:22 am
it's to be expected on me. is band to come back with with, with something what, whether or not is true or noise. it's probably not true. this crisis is being called part again by the media. johnson is trying to write it out. much rest though with the outcome of the inquiry into downing street and white all parties, and what the police do about the latest revelation. for with more rest though, on whether the conservative party decides johnson is now a liability and has to go. and through simmons al jazeera, even in mexico, have been forced to keep the care and public hospitals, which are feeling the strain of grown up iris. hospitals are working at full capacity, usually only con variant. impatience are facing delays, excuse me, across all departments. 60 people are confirmed dead falling raids on villages by gun men in northern nigeria. search teams are looking for more bodies. it acts calm after government, air strikes, targeted the hide out of criminal gangs. i'll just there are many interests
