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 got years focused on, they can all make power, heart house and the fact that 500 health work good out there have been confirmed with the new radio. and so indeed that situation that there is alarming the country a 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 abad for sale. meanwhile, has begun vaccinating children as young as 5 years old again discovered 19, and thus despised resistance and delays spearheaded by the president monica in

ocoee of repose. after a month of political wrangling, mass vaccination of children is finally under way. in brazil, luna. body veda told us he's relieved. his 5 year old asthmatic son has just been inoculated against coven 19 oscars 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 jane 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. look with what's behind this. what are the interests behind it? what are the interests of vaccine maniacs? they his remarks were contested by and visit president antonio, bob paul, his who like many of both when i was advisors, is also military officer. he asked the president to show proof of wrongdoing or to apologize for making unfounded accusations. political analysts sable so narrow 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 and death situation on our end there and there were, there were other i'd yell at me that showed that he has lots of watching the military on his position about the vaccine issue. or why?

because the military themselves have said determined that no soldier or opposite should go to work without proof of vaccination. meanwhile, the delay in vaccinating brazilians, both adults and children, has had serious effects. i've asked them 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's a national inoculation campaign or beth as 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. maybe somebody may feel more members. politics in brazil is very polarized, and the vaccine ended up being a part of this political war 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, that a recent poll says 8 out of 10 brazilians are in favor of the coven, 19 vaccine,

to work and make a living, and that's pushing them further into poverty. while we spoke to a fallacy, a coffee, who was the women's rights activists who served as the 1st female deputy speaker of parliament in afghanistan. and she says, women are becoming invisible, this heartbreaking them because of what's been done to the woman of venison, especially under the name of islam is on the contrary. against this tommy principles, we all know that the politics of talent is a politics of m, you know, exclusion. and they believe in exclusion. and their definition of inclusion is basically establishing as a government that is made of taliban different background from an ethnic point of view, from a religious point of view and from also gender points of view the taliban. the fact to power does not represent any of these a benchmarks. it's a government majority for one social and i do want to call group,

no woman at all. and of course it is no ethnic balance. and there is no religious a presentation lately. they have become more violent towards, you know, the, the woman who actually protesting the streets of cobble 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 bit chilly. the woman airline chief executives in the u. s. a warning of potential catastrophe when telecom companies switch on 5 g s c h. safety will be threatened by the new wireless signals interfering with aviation technology. airlines are urging government intervention to delay the 5 g rollout and prevent passengers being stranded and cargo delays.

martin luther king damian, i phase has been marked with a march in the capital to demand greater protection of voting rights present. joe biden has promised to pass a new law but lacks support in the senate. democrats argue that new legislation is needed, especially for ethnic minorities and low income workers. shebra tansy was at the march and spoke to actus daniel martin luther king junior day parade was council this year in washington, dc because of the pandemic. but a smaller piece walk is taking place. participants came this year to have their voices heard of 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 kings, elder sam sir serv, king blood for what these marchers. one is for congress, which are fools, controlled by the democratic party,

to pause federal voting rights legislation to protect the franchise this morning. this is extremely important. people have literally, therefore a so to write in to continue the legacy of doctor king in saying to 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 we do not advocate of own rights to one to our democracy with all i think is a sad day in america, because ah biden receive a 1000000 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. with 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 parsons legislation. even joe biden last week, seem pretty doubtful that this would be passed under his watch after he some se belatedly, but 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, possibly promised on the campaign tro with democratic vote. but democratic turn out of the upcoming mid term elections may be depressed anyway. ah, no, again, i'm fully back to go with the headlines on al jazeera, a thick layer of ash on the runway of tongue as mean air for dis, delaying international deliveries of aid. it's expected to take days to clear after saturdays volcanic eruption and so mommy to death have been confirmed. sar clark has more from breast been in australia. one major runway in the capital of tonga
