the people. so he was talking about that. he also talked about investment essentially in a gamut of airs. that the government is looking at a one addressing essentially the energy sector, which is a very real problem at the moment. ah, where we're having sort of power outages, power cuts, also because of the foreign exchange crisis that the government is facing. there's a very limited amount of fuel to run generators at the power plant and the president, outlining a wide series of a sort of projects to bring in solar power to increase the generation of power in the next coming years. or he also talked about the need to increase exports, essentially because obviously in terms of natural resources are oil, that kind of fossil virtual anchor does not have. so he talked about maximizing what areas that the country can offer in terms of bringing in that important

foreign exchange are still ahead on al jazeera, the taliban accused of collective panic punishment for trying to raise women and girls from public life in afghanistan. and why u. s. airline officials, a warning of a catastrophic crisis because of the 5 g. ah, now there's still stormy weather in europe. it's coming in through scandinavia. heading down south is always cloud here, behind it, quite a strong wind. in fact, the whole monday's windy, but that does leave all layers, the rest sitting and nice, very quiet. at the same time equal, which means everything is still fall, could be widespread. tempted at night are low and by day there are any feeding hard and they are because of the sunshine. these are not particularly high temperatures,

but by this time, by tuesday, the winds have dropped where they're quite strong in the baltic. but the cold has been pushed just on the boards. in fact, once again we got kodak come across the black sea, heading towards turkey, enhancing as circulations of big storm system loads of snow and turkey. heavy rain in cyprus, running the turkish syrian border and eventually coming south into northern parts of egypt and then slamming into garza, for example, is cold enough to bring snow to garland heights anyway, slightly above sea level, out of thought in the levant. and the last cold as it come down through the red seas meant ask fun still grow max when he 16 come to about 24. it's just sunny in this part of africa. not true everywhere. in fact, the west is our mauritania, and even parts morocco, showers seem quite likely. ah frank assessments this gracious, i continued to weaken a look. i shall go up,

even though perhaps he believes in the beginning. there they will expect informed opinions, license politicians will now be under incredible pressure from the young people. that is one of the most of the things that come out of these critical debate. do you think it's a you should be facilitated? not sure. okay, it's a great, it's a really simple question. let's give samuel a child swans the inside story on al jazeera lou. ah, ah, you're watching al jazeera life from doha reminder of our top stories. a thick layer of ash on the runway of tongue,

whose main app or destination international deliveries of age. it's expected to take days to fear. after saturday's volcanic eruption in sanaa, me to death have been confirmed so far. 7 protesters insta don, have died during demonstrations against many terry hall on monday. it comes ahead of a visit by us sip of mass. we're calling for tops to end the political life and hundreds of health care workers in pakistan's largest city, karachi of tested positive for the only con, very in just cove 19 in the past week and that's led to staff shortages and he's putting hospitals on depression. yeah, come on, hider has more on this. now, from a vaccination center in islamabad, in the large 24 hours budget on 100, guarded over $5000.00 budget def cases of the omi omi crone ray area. and this is the radio and richard driving. that's the city of karachi now has over 40

percent on your devotee rate. and other days, such a law and law body also standing above 10 percent. the national command and operation center is going to be holding a meeting again. today, they have decided to carry out more testing and educational institutions in order to find out whether did it need to close or the institutions. but the one good thing that happened is that the army crone are ready and not as deadly as other radians, such as the delta that are over 800 critical cases. and the number of hospitalizations is not as high as in the delta radio. enjoy date and emergency situation, given the fact that cut out years focused on they can all make power hard house and the fact that 500 health work day have been confirmed with the new radio. and so indeed, the situation that did alarming the country is likely to import more restrictions

on travel. but for the moment, key decision will have to be taken by the national command and operation center. here in islam abroad. and brazil has begun vaccinating children as young as 5 years old against over 19 that's despite resistance and delays spearheaded by the president. one k active has more after months of political wrangling, mass vaccination of children is finally under way. in brazil, lunar or the veda told us he's relieved. his 5 year old asthmatic son has just been inoculated against covered 19 watchmakers of us now. so the vaccination campaign could have started before delay. brazil was result of the governments in all of the pandemic. and the lack of leadership. health officials expect that most of the 20000000 children between the ages of 5 and 11, will show up to get their shots despite president jade bull sonatas repeated

attempts to discredit the vaccines efficacy and safety. he has announced that his 11 year old daughter will not be inoculated. oh, are you going to fax and that your child against something which someone young can catch and have an almost 0 chance of dying? some 300 children have died in brazil since the pandemic began brazil's health regulatory agency and visa approved the vaccine for children in december. but the president publicly questioned the decision, suggesting there was something shady about it. but we're breaking what's behind this. what are the interests behind it? what are the interests of vaccine maniacs? his remarks were contested by an visa's president until a new battle. his who, like many of both scenarios, advisors, is also military officer. he asked the president to show proof of wrong doing, or to apologize for making unfounded accusations. political analysts sable sonata is trying to maintain the support of his hard core followers. as polls show,

he will probably lose his bid for reelection in october. he has lost nutrition, war, and death situation and there, and there were, there were other, i'd yell at me that showed that he has lots of walking the military on his position about the boxing issue. or why? because the, the military themselves have sad. ag determined no soldier or ops, it should go to work with dog proof of vaccination. meanwhile, the delay and vaccinating brazilians, both adults and children, has had serious effects. i've asked that been why we lost time and could have avoided many hospitalizations and deaths. luckily, brazil as a country where people trust vaccines and show up when there is a national inoculation campaign or beth has cassiano says her family never had any doubts. her 14 year old son has already had 2 shots and her 8 year old daughter will be vaccinated next week. and either somebody may don't remember politics in

brazil is very polarized in the vaccine ended up being a part of this political way where people are more interested in proving his right . and he's wrong instead of treating this is what it is. a public health issue and a right to life i did that for. a recent poll says 8 out of 10 brazilians are in favor of the coven 19 vaccine, despite their political preferences, and fake hughes monica, you're not give all jazeera. the saudi led coalition has launch airstrikes on yelman's. capital killing doesn't sits in response to a deadly attack by huffy rebels. in the united arab emirates, the rebels say they fired 5 ballistic missiles in some drones at oil facilities, as well as airports in upper darby and dubai. police confirmed 3 people were killed . who these are wanting of more strikes in the u. e. washington has condemned the attack, calling it an act of terror and says it will hold the rebels accountable. mom at

our top has more from yeoman's capital santa cut into the statements of the how these spokesperson the area. he says that the, the carried out this attack against the united arab emirates, in order and retaliation. 2 of the he described its participation and the solid quality and the war. he said that the, this, the problem was that we have, we have made and that they have fulfilled such a promise. we have used according to his statement, 5 weighing the missiles that have attacked according to the oil refinery and so far and also the international thought of dubai. and i will, bobby, he has mentioned also the have a target, the international court of lobby and do a. so the situation is father escalating that the he, he also warned that there isn't some know so far foreign companies in order to,

to avoid becoming a close to, to vital facilities according to his words. so this is not to be target, especially if he said that if the united decided to continue, it's what he described, aggressive escalation against human visit was and as i mentioned is escalating so far with these now extend their targets. he mentioned that he would expand their targets, bags of their targets, in case you decided to continue. it's 5 spacious. well, the u. n. is calling on all sides to exercise maximum restraint and avoid any further escalation. the secretary jo condemns today's attacks on abu dhabi international airport and the nearby industrial area which were poorly called several civilian casualties. and have been claimed by the who t. s. a tax on civilian infrastructure and civilians are prohibited by

international humanitarian law. the secretary journal calls upon all parties to exercise maximum restraint and prevent any escalation against a midst height and tensions in the region. there are no military solutions to the conflict in yemen. the united nation says the taliban is trying to steadily erase women and girls from public life. in afghanistan, a group of rights experts has released a joint statement saying the taliban se policies amount to a collective punishment of women and girls. grounded on gender base bias and harmful practices. they're concerned by what they describe as continuous and systematic efforts to exclude women from the social economic and political says. the experts also warned it's now harder for women to work and make a living. and that's pushing them further into poverty. now we spoke to fallacy. a coffee was a women's rights activists who served as the 1st female,

every speaker of parliament in afghanistan. and she says, women are becoming invisible, this heartbreaking them because of what's been done to the women of a planet, especially under the name of islam is on the contrary. against this on the principles, we all know that the politics of talent is a politics of m, you know, exclusion. and they believe in exclusion on their definition of inclusion is basically establishing a government that is made of talents, different background from an ethnic point of view, from a religious point of view and from also gender points of view. the tell about the fact to power does not represent any of these a benchmarks. it's a government majority for one social, i geology called group, no woman at all. and of course it is no ethnic balance. and it is not really just

a presentation lately. they have become more violent towards, you know, the, the woman who actually protesting the streets of couple, the modeling for their rights. i think the world must get out of this humanitarian crisis business, which is needed. but we have to look ahead and have a vision for political dialogue because this cannot continue to be like that. i mean, the people cannot continue to be, the victim is speak to the woman. several major us airlines are wanting of a possible catastrophic aviation crisis when telecommunications companies roll out their new 5 g service, they can send the 5 g signals will interfere with aviation technology. align chief say it could bring commerce to a halt and leave tens of thousands of passengers stranded overseas, the urging the binding administration to intervene. now martin luther king day in the united states has been marked where the march in the capital to demand greater protection of voting rights present. joe biden has promised to pass a new law,

but lots support in the senate democrats, honky that new legislation is needed, especially for ethnic minorities and low income workers. last week, the president said, he's tired of being quiet about voting rapes. well, we're tired of being picked up since you are 62021. when the insurrection us attacked our capital, 19 legislatures have passed. 34 law of clawing back voting rights for their citizens. and states like my home state, where a new laws i should say of georgia are designed to confuse voter so i don't know where to go on to serious shebra times. he attended the march and spoke to activists. daniel martin luther king junior day parade was cancelled this year in washington d. c. because of the pandemic. but a smaller piece walk is taking place. participants came this year to have their

voices heard at a time when republican state us off the state house across the country, legislation is being introduced specifically to undermine but turned out of african american voters. the rights that as martin luther king referred doctor king's eldest son, sir, said king, bled for what these marches. one is for congress, which are through is controlled by the democratic party to pass federal voting rights legislation to protect the franchise. this march, this year is extremely important. people have literally, therefore such right. and to continue the legacy of doctor king in thank you. the advocacy for voting all rights is extremely important on without it, our democracy is at the rate we see the 3 of our democracy every single day. and if we do not advocate of own rights to one day, our democracy will fall, i think is a sad day in america, because ah biden receive 80000000 volts. trump receive 70000000 volts.

we sent them here as the american people to washington to pass legislation that would be in the best interest of citizens, not if they cannot get anything done beyond emergency packages such as cove that we have a serious problem. the problem is, it's the democratic party that just doesn't seem to have the votes in congress to override congressional rules and overcome republican opposition to pass this legislation. even joe biden last week, seem pretty doubtful that this would be passed under his watch after he some se, belatedly put the full force of the presidency behind the push to get voting rights legislation passed. ironically, if bitin does fail once again to get a major piece of legislation, parcel he promised on the campaign trail, the democratic vote, the democratic turn out of the upcoming mid term elections may be depressed anyway at children suffering in for one of the great south indian classical dance issue,
