a debate as well. they should basically reconstruct what we have and continue burning coal, oil, diesel, natural gas, or whether we should be redesigning the system so that we can go towards renewable energies and reach the goal of 100 percent renewable energy by the year 2015 that is the alternative that i personally support so i'm to say they're alarmed off to global meet a levels rose for the 2nd straight in the national oceanic and atmospheric administration. so the increase is the largest since measurements began almost 40 years ago. livestock contributes to a large percentage of emissions. the famous, a 2nd biggest contributor to human made, global warming after carbon dioxide still had here an al jazeera, a vote makes history. the u. s. senate confirmed the 1st black woman to service a supreme court just thousands ordered to leave their homes in australia to have the flooding. some places received

as the vaccines take hold, the stress on the nurses is far from over there. some of our colleagues within the state who's the pdf, the p t s d is so bad that they've had several suicides. so it's affecting all of us differently. unfortunately it comes down to the patients and really when i go into work and i feel like i don't have the resources or the time to take care of the patients in the way that i want to. i just feel distressed, i feel morally distressed that i am put in a situation where ethically i am not able to hold up to the value that i am told that i want to to be out for myself. there are 4400000 registered nurses in the u. s. but data realized by national nurses, united shows that just over 3000000 are actually employed. the state that union

claims that there was a stopping crisis long before colbert and that there is not a nursing shortage. but there's a shortage of jobs in which nurses feel valued. and safe. congresswoman john chicago ski has been working on federal legislation to protect nurses since 2004. you know we hear that sometimes from the hospital. there's this big nursing shortage note. there is only a shortage because there is not the ability of nurses to go back to work safely and to protect their patients as well. it's predominantly nurses who are at the forefront of the vaccination campaign. billions of them still out there working despite an environment that remains far from ideal to many, it's a calling as much as a profession. i really have come to the point where i, i, i don't think that there is any other place that i would want to be ah,

but there are situations and days at work where i think, i don't know if i can keep doing us. statistics indicate the pandemic could be waning, but the scars remain for the millions that have lost family or friends. and for those who have held the hands of the dying, my cana out sierra washington. the u. s. appeals court has reinstated the president's executive order mandating coven 19 vaccinations for federal employees. the 2 to one vote lifted an injunction issued by texas caught in january. nearly a 1000000 people have died from coven related deaths in the united states. more than 80000000 have been infected. latest data from johns hopkins university shows us as administered more than half a 1000000000 vaccine doses so far. but compared to other developed nations, it has more people. we've only had a single job and a larger share. we've had no vaccine at all. let's bring out to julie fisher,

who's an associate research professor and microbiology and immunology at georgetown university joint us of i start from alexandra in virginia. julie, welcome to the program. and i'd like to look at the overall pandemic response. but let's start with the staffing shortage. it seems it at the pandemic. the highlighted a crisis that was already there. indeed, and i think that's what we're seeing now with the increasing fatigue that most of us have felt for some time about code 900 protections. we're seeing with vaccination rates still not reaching the proportion that would be ideal. we're seeing people to return to work. we're seeing lifting of protections and municipalities across the us. and we're seeing a trigger system now that really books to overwhelming the health care system as the criteria for returning to some of those protections. which means we're putting even more stress on the health care workers before we're looking at other measures

of protection. it's not just stuffing in the spotlight of course. what else might we learn from the whole health care experience during coded? i think one of the things we've learned is that we understand how to prevent the spread of infections in health care settings. but that requires preparing, making sure that health co workers have access to personal protective equipment or p, p e that the clothing, the garments and the engineering controls that they can use to protect themselves. and that means we can't invest in those at the time of a search during the current pandemic. or when a new disease emerges, we have to plan for that in peacetime as it were and sustain those investments. so that health care workers can feel safe. of course, you can't run a system at pandemic levels all the time. can you? no, absolutely not. and the, the surge that health care workers have been maintaining now for not just

a few months for more than 2 years is putting a tremendous strain on people. we can replace technologies, we can replace war and equipment. people are the heart of every system and our health care workers on the front lines have been maintaining an incredible pace now for, for i can 2 plus years with different degrees of appreciation response as a, as the public has 1st appreciated their, their willingness to be a part of this essential defense against an emergent bios. and then as people have gone fatigued, almost being an object of blame for those who are frustrated with the fact that we're still facing the pandemic, or who are facing health threats to themselves or their loved ones. if a human infrastructure, if i could put it that way, has really suffered what about the physical infrastructure? how is that coped?

i think we are going to see in the next few months exactly what kind of wear and tear this again, operating at a constant search pace has had on health care systems. but certainly, in addition to the stress on individual health, co workers, healthcare systems have not had time to reflect on the kind of maintenance, the kind of capital improvements you would normally see for those areas outside of the immediate pandemic response. so many resources have had to be diverted for pandemic response that certainly they've been, they've been though some resources have been diverted away from other equally essential programs and will have a lot of catching up to do for their infrastructure. and for other preventive care programs that are in the long run, help maintain the health of societies of households of communities in the u. s. and worldwide agenda for sure. appreciate your expertise and analysis. thanks very much for joining sir. thank you. thank you so much for having a tight while united states is one step closer to have his 1st black woman on the

supreme court. the senate has confirmed content. she brung jackson to serve as justice on the country's top court. i did your customer reports not from capitol hill. this was the moment when american history was made on this vote. the age of 53, the naser 47, and this nomination is confirmed. when the nation's 1st black female vice president announced the confirmation of the 1st black woman to the u. s . supreme court never, never has a black woman held the title of justice. cassandra brown, jackson will be the 1st, and i believe the 1st of more to come. ketani round jackson's confirmation passed by the narrow margin of 53 to 47 with 3 republicans joining all 50 democrats in voting yes. she's was in the major. she's also highly qualified, intelligent people, person, and i wish the very of us,

the remaining senate republicans voted no some voicing concern over jackson's work, representing guantanamo bay detainees when she served as a federal public defender. others accused her of being a tool for the political left. i believe she will prove to be the furthest left of any justice to have ever served on the supreme court. members of this committee, jackson defended against that assertion during her confirmation hearing. i interpret and apply the lot to the facts of the case before me, without fear or favor consistent with my judicial oath, jackson has nearly a decade of experience on the federal bench. she's the daughter of public school teachers, and also served on the federal sentencing commission. she joined president joe biden to watch the confirmation vote from the white house. jackson will replace the moderate liberal justice stephen briar when he retires in july,

leaving the supreme court's conservative super majority unchanged. that's very unlikely that justice jackson will be able to convince a conservative justice to cross party lines and vote with the liberal justice is on the controversial issues. but jackson's confirmation is a symbolic. when for democrats and the biden administration at age 51, she will likely have decades to sit on the u. s. supreme court. and her supporters say, just as importantly, she will serve as a trailblazing role model and inspiration for generations to come. heidi joe castro al jazeera washington. a peru has declared a state of emergency in order to clear highways blocked by truckers protesting against inflation. is thousands, marched in the capital, lima once again. violence looting in recent days have led to the deaths of at least 5 people, protested one the president to resign. he blames upon demick and the crane wolf
