ah, many generations express solidarity with refugees. rejecting offensive statements or actions against them by law beaman was, may be led in. but on saudi, yet they were angry that their government is being accused of racism, but also feel ashamed of the violence and hope the crises were not spoilt in asia or undermine its values. choosing as president says, he plans to restore diplomatic relations with syria tunis cut tires with damascus in 2012 and protests after the civil war began. and we are sent. government cracked down on political opponents soon ambassadors since he was expelled, that same year low. so america, mobile and there is no justification for the non existence of a to new zealand, buster in the syrian arab republic, or the ambassador of the syrian, our republic here and to nicea. the matter of the regime in syria is an issue of concern to the syrians alone. we are dealing with the syrian state and the choices

of legal and social collapse. now, c mecklenburg is an associate fellow at chatham house, specializing in middle east and is rarely politics. he says the protests are growing despite government officials trying to crack down on dissent. this is a lemon sway 11 saturday night that you see hundreds of thousands in the street and he's got those momentum. it's not that sometimes you seen this kind of them installation and paul test. it's a good angel, you fades away. the opposite is happening them all. the government is trying to push the very what they called legislation. judicial reform, which is more than constitution bundle is the market. but in the states and the mo, the police is using force against them all. they actually didn't understand the checks and balances in democracy by the story, but these are government, the less price would be going to be what it, what,

what we see right now is the result still national security on the news already come out and he told the police all that the, the thing is opinion down to soft on the test. so the only thing i think the last few weeks we saw more response, but i think actually this weekend, it seems that all the stuff understand that if that came into the minister, it only lead to a disaster. france has controversial plan to reform the pension system has been to step place into becoming law. if i'm sen approved plans, i will now be sent to a committee to work on a final draft. i've been weeks of protest against the changes, but for the raise the age of a time and i'm 62 to 64. and my new macro claims is plan is a central country's financial help, but it is bracing for more strikes and the national health service next week. but i can say they're under paid and the health system meets urgent investment. and he

bought the reports from london. the any chess is on its knees and its leading to hundreds of people dying needlessly. every week the messages thousands came to defend british national health service. it came ahead of the latest strike in the sector, pushing for better pay and more investment. now this demonstration has been cold by various healthcare unions and campaigning bodies. but behind them lies a huge workforce. and they've been wanting for some time that the whole systems being under funded, leaving them demoralized jordan rivera is an occupational therapist to the public hospital. she's been busy supporting colleagues taking strike action. and before this protest, she told al jazeera, nobody takes the decision lightly at the minute it feels like that's the only way her height for the antitrust actually. and we're not just people who work in the n h,

then the government attacked them to not working hard enough. i'm going staff in a way that the time they get to somebody on an emergency in their home, they'll find a dead body rather than something that they can look after. the massive level of anxiety on the back of it was they gave everything with the nature as a top priority for british voters. the politicians are under pressure to commit to saving it now. and in the long term, the deem barbara al, jazeera london, the british broadcasting corporation, the b, b. c, has apologized for cancelling several sports programs on saturday, due to a boycott. my presenters refuse to work after mats of the day host. gary lenika was suspended for public remarks against the government's new migration policy, public broadcasters, hellenic a breach guidelines after tweets which compared u. k. government language on immigration to that used by nazi germany. they was his director general, tim debbie as he will not resign over the controversy. i think my job is to

lou? ah no, again, you're watching al jazeera, his reminder of our top stories this hour. more than 1300 migrants and refugees have been rescued in the mediterranean sea. italian coast guards says they were crammed into 3 overcrowded boats and have been taken to shore. half 1000000 demonstrators have taken to israel streets to protest against the government's plans severely limit the power of the supreme court. the rallies of the largest since opposition to the bill began 10 weeks ago and a controversial plan to reform the french pension system is one step closer to becoming law up to being approved by the senate. bill will now be sent to a committee to work on a final draft of weeks of protests against the changes villages in the eastern democratic republic of congo,

years since the world health organization declared the coven 19 outbreak. a global pandemic says 2020. the virus is exposed the vulnerabilities of health systems around the world. the total global data from the virus is nearing $7000000.00 people. 61 percent of the global population is fully vaccinated, but it's still killing between $900.00 and a 1000 people every day. in several months, you fund projects, the pandemic will cost the global economy $12.00 trillion dollars. last in america has reported around 15 percent of cases and 25 percent of debts are from coven 19 world wide. in many countries, the virus on the vaccine rollout strained already struggling health care systems. mano rap hello has more from mexico city. early on in the pandemic health experts from around the world were very clear about their warnings. for latin america, the combination of widespread poverty inequality and a lack of

a regional sort of strategy of containment and, and prevention of the virus. all of these things played a key role in the ultimate impact that cove in 1900 would have in the region in nowhere was this more evident than in brazil. president jaytal sonata will, i think history will remember him for not only downplaying the severity of the virus, but also for being a sort of key player in his country in the region for spreading this information about the severity of the disease of coven 19 of ad about the advocacy of the, of the vaccine and for not implementing a strict policy for cove it nationwide for brazil, brazil obviously was not the only country to be affected in latin america, latin america, which accounts for more or less 8 percent of the world's population at one point with accounting for one 3rd of all coven deaths globally, and here in latin america, a lack of testing will probably for ever leave us unsure of the true extent of the

level of care of contagion here in mexico, for example, at the end of 2021. when the cobra the army kron variant, was spreading across europe. the government here and mexico was touting a low infection rate just ahead of the of the holiday season, where contagious sword, once again in mexico. and we know now 2 years later that that has more to do with the fact that mexico had one of the lowest testing rates in the world. james laughed when president has mocked his 1st year in office, where the 2nd cabinet re shuffle has been a difficult year for gabriel burrage, who was elected on a platform that promised sweeping social reforms the struggle to deliver. alas, in america as to his ear, newman, a port some santiago. just days before marking his 1st year in office, the world's youngest elected president, made light of her gift. one meant to compare him with the cuddly, fictional character, winnie the pool. until a few months ago,

gabrielle body 2 turned 38 last month wasn't laughing as much. his approval ratings had plummeted. inflation and crime rates were escalating and a highly controversial presidential pardon of people connected to the violent protests against inequality in 2019 led to the resignation of his chief of staff and the minister of justice. right, all the overwhelming defeat in a referendum last september of the progressive new constitution dealt a harsh blow and was seen as a rejection of the president himself. i gun book, lay them underneath the constitution was the matrix of his program of the generation that brought borage to power. that might have got to knock out punch for any government but boyish, showed extraordinary resilience and ability to get up and come out fighting again. now i knew perhaps less ambitious draft constitution is in the works. the economy is recovering, inflation is down, investment is up. and so the president's approval ratings,

and what the me all the people valuable young i'm, we've had difficulties, i won't deny you, but i want to tell the whole country that today i am full of hope and optimization . many admire his ability to show flexibility and make concessions when his plans aren't working or it has starting his 2nd year with a cabinet. we shuffle that above all, emphasizes experience this message. the chileans is that the time for making a diagnosis of this country's problems is over and that it's now time to act. and perhaps for that reason as opposed to last year. there are very few millennials left in his cabinet while some more hard line leftists accused, but each of betraying his principles. many people we spoke to rated him highly. as yo, william, i think he's doing a good job. it's not his fault. the conservative congressman refused to approve a tax reform bill meant to finance social programs,

but all of us. and he's the 1st president to roll up his sleeves right away to oversee the dissolved the left by this year's forest fires to put em, it's too soon to judge the work of the government and just one year that takes more time. but in general, i think he's good, i like his style. it's a political style that some people are still trying to come to terms with. but like him or not, the new left president has shown an ability to maintain stability even in these complex and polarized times to see and human al jazeera santiago, a south african ballet dancer, who defied racial segregation to make dance history as being honored on stage cha, home was a, val, was the 1st person of color from his country to dance for london's royal ballet more than 6 decades ago. now his life is being celebrated in a new production. i mean, the miller reports from cape town. ready it was an unlikely success story, a young mixed race dancer from

a partied south africa performing at london's royal ballet. they were put your hamas awful, now retired to 95. it became a reality despite the challenges he endured. was his student at the university of goto. oh, had to stead a right at the back. there was a line, and i did look alls that load. and if a do, paul said line. oh good, good, good to looks from various from the other group of people, laws that promoted racial segregation prevent a jo ha from performing opening. he started dancing a talk is old and was often snapped to theatres to audition for international scoutis. by the 19 sixty's, jo, i had won a place to study in london, was later made a principal soloist at the royal ballet to be fully as

a burnt to just do anything where a one to be the ending of was welcome was. but if room one after school, when i was a student, death for me was the greatest welcome to england. while jo hall was dancing on wolf stages, his home of district 6 in cape town was declared a whites only area to her story. and his life in district 6 is one of several documented at this museum in cape town. it's hope it will help keep the history of that community alive in a country where racial segregation once silence the hopes and dreams of many historians say the forced removals was a deliberate attempt to dismantle what many considered the multicultural soul of cape town was?

25 years to 60000 people. so you can imagine how to make that must have been for people who saw how slowly the community was broken apart. it was an act of genocide, i would say. on his return to south africa, joe hall opened and ran, civil don schools, kit of and roy, who as part of a celebration of joe has career rears his for his role. joe, how watched from the sidelines. he remains an inspiration for a new generation of dances. for me to mila al jazeera cape town. the launch of the walls 1st 3 day printed rocket has been aborted for a 2nd time, on board flight computers halted the count on 45 seconds before the rock. it was due to blast off relativity space which made the rock. it says the grounding was due to low fuel pressure. tanya harrison is a fellow at the outer space institute in seattle,

washington. she says the failure to launch is not unusual. the earlier delay this week was due to an issue with a valve, but they were able to fix civilians happens a lot when it comes to luncheons. so it sounds like the rocket itself is in okay, condition from the latest update on their twitter feed. so it might just be another few days before they get another launch attempts. it's a really big update in the way that we can construct rockets. 3 printing is not entirely new to the space sector. there are other companies that are using 3 d printed parts, but relativity has taken the next step to basically 3 d print about 85 percent of the entire rocket. and so to, to make this advancement, they're able to bring down the costs. they're able to make the rocket, other fewer parts, and the launch itself is also significantly cheaper than launches have been historically. so if they're successful with this launch, it really opens up a whole new realm of the way that we can construct rockets in the future.
