1:01 am

1:03 am
effort from our forces to this very. civil war you know months time and i would like you know a few to the united nations to do something about it because we could see a lot of sanctions coming from the u.k. them the united states and japan and other european countries but they hasn't been any form sanctions coming from that you n o o o many demonstrators now believe an alternative force is the only way to return democracy to me and my several of the country's minority ethnic groups already have armed militias some have denounced the coup saying they will protect their territories and protesters. or earlier we spoke to me and my correspondent dive well asked him if a man really is on the brink of civil war as the u.n. envoy is warning. when you look at how the situation has deteriorated during the
1:04 am
past few weeks the massive uptick in violence the security forces attacks largely on an armed civilians. now you may see more on death and groups potentially getting involved in the fight and different fronts the fact that students in office workers from the main cities have been going to the jungles to get a sense a crash courses in guerrilla warfare all of this just shows you that this really does have the potential to turn into a full blown civil war how quickly we get there is a little difficult to say but as this develops we can something be looking at suit shortages. the public health care system in myanmar which even before the pandemic was greatly under resourced well now it's barely functioning that could get much worse this could absolutely turn into a complete humanitarian disaster in myanmar countries who just a couple years ago people were talking about the potential for well now we have to
1:05 am
wonder if it's going to turn into a failed state ok let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. belgian police have clashed with a large crowd gathered in a brussels pocket for a fight concert was announced on social media as an april fool's day prank police said that 3 officers were hurt and 22 people were arrested large gatherings are banned in belgium due to surging in fiction numbers. in japan authorities in osaka have asked the to cancel its leg of the olympic torch relay the city has recently seen a big surge of corona virus infections the relay is she will to come through osaka in 12 days time. pope francis has begun celebrating the christian holy week of easter by leading a mass insipidus cathedral in bronze but the pontiff skipped the traditional service commemorating jesus' last supper other events over the weekend will be
1:06 am
restricted. holy thursday service has also been held in the trade kit they drove in paris it's the 1st since the building was badly damaged in a 52 years ago scaled down certain money involved a foot bossing ritual symbolizes jesus' willingness to say. well more than 30000000 people in britain have received if this coronavirus shot but not everyone is keen to roll up their sleeve vaccine skepticism is especially prevalent among minorities even though they've been hard hit by the virus the deadly is london correspondent bigot mass reports now on efforts to persuade those who might be reluctant to get vaccinated. the district of brant in north london is one of the poorest in the u.k. and it's one of the areas most affected by covert 19 here it's even more important
1:07 am
that as many people as possible vaccinated longtime resident image johnny is committed to making this happen. we can see that you know people are walking around you know they're not sure who to turn to who told through how in a way that i think helped the pandemic has exposed longstanding health inequalities in the u.k. the government has now allocated 20000000 pounds to tackle this so called community champions are targeting those that are hard to reach with phone help lines well placed programs and just chatting on the streets. johnny has set himself the task of reducing mistrust of the government and the authorities and dispelling myths about vaccination. is just another tool to control people in the private areas maybe some heard about microchips and stuff from people but more. you know. who our what why should
1:08 am
we listen to anybody watching listen to anybody now especially given that no one listened to us before conversations with locals refill their suspicion. i do not one tip. is not going to do me no good rather to kill me and i'm high risk and i'm not having enough i don't want to know they're tested it on human beings and that's not right that's why i'm not taking it . for you ok to me johnny can get some passes by to talk to him but it's difficult to convince those who flat out reject the idea of getting the job british health authorities have launched social media campaigns to combat conspiracy theories and vaccination myths. the language we use the messenger we use and the message and i think out of all of those probably the
1:09 am
messenger may be one of the most important one if it's a trusted community member someone they know someone they can relate to someone who looks like them someone who feels the same language as them. it's more easy to build a rapport and to understand what they're saying all are talking about saying johnny doesn't simply ignore the argument that the vaccine could have side effects he puts it into perspective saying millions of people have had no major complications and the side scientific studies so i can impose my opinion from parkinson help and so i will look into my work for the same place you can go and know you really got your source of information have some opinions are trying to balance be honest to me johnny was at least able to convince his own mother to change her mind. well u.s. president joe biden has convened his 1st cabinet meeting at the white house to promote his new 2 trillion dollar infrastructure plan senate confirmed he spoke of
1:10 am
the last week has described it as the most diverse in u.s. history. or for more i'm joined now by david lee washington correspondent emily go dean emily good to have you with us biden has presented a diverse cabinet with lots of who stands out all that will definitely be dead holland she is the 1st native american member of the cabin that and she is the secretary of the interior under such. a department manager and conserves federal lands and the native community of course is very hopeful that in the future she will push for the protection of native lands and if you look at her background she does have a record all of being an environmental activist and i thought has called for the banning of drilling and fracking on federal lands. so i can be interesting to see
1:11 am
in the future whether she will push for fuel oil pipelines to be built on federal lands and the such on native land. and then emily there is the man with the biggest job perhaps in terms of policy over sought who was also the 1st openly gay cabinet member. indeed that would be paper to he is a member of the l. to be secure community you might remember him also from running in the presidential election of 2020 and as you just said he is at the core of this new 2 trillion dollar transportation plan that was revealed this week by biden by president biden and budgets and self is said to be somewhat of a train enthusiastic so it'll be interesting to see how much he will be pushing for public transportation in the u.s. and from mayor pete really what about from the republican viewpoint republican criticism of baden's choices where has it been focused.
1:12 am
just so recently who has been quite controversial is that have you ever sarah he used to be viewed in general in california and is now the secretary of health he has been criticized for lacking experience in the health care sector and is also meant to support abortion of course automatically put some against the republican party. in the good scene in washington many thanks. thanks to the sport some consider to be the opposite of board surfing it's body surfing in the world coastal regions that pride themselves on big waves often written on 1000 euros surfboards body surf is named next to no equipment and they have no protection. in the early morning light in the bay off of cape town the cool kids our own surf boards. less cool those using little more than
1:13 am
their bodies in wetsuits body surfers. freedom if your freedom is 2 and the 3rd is just a child you know it's nothing serious about it just fun. to destroy the way roger raw diet. drug being just through in the right. they may employ small hand paddles in the water to better navigate a wave and stay stable but that's it for what is likely the oldest water blading sport on earth from what we know you know body surfing as a long history into pre-colonial polynesian culture and even into pre-colonial african culture because the cultures which have documented ship's records and the europeans were coming to their new voyage of discovery and starting to try it along the way skies of africa today it is far removed from the image of board surfing
1:14 am
body surfing is ultra low key i guess i've always liked it because. these people do it so it's not us proud it is easy it. can't get more low key than that or simpler if you have it done it's the shit it's fun. simply surfers without the boards. before we go definite you can always get a deadly news on the go you can just download our app from google play all from the app store itself and that will give you access to pull the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news and if your part of the story can also use that the devil you have to send us photos and videos of what's happening in your neck of the woods. that's all for now think of the news africa is up next with christine one more headlines coming up in 45 minutes time

1:26 am
in south africa the 2nd wave in south africa was stronger than expected because of the 1351 this mutation is thought to be as contagious as the british one but in january the infection rate suddenly dropped and the numbers have remained looking. like you know we have many of. them again. humans are going to. be random opposite. and then me anymore and then maybe we won't. destruction. and you know that the. antibodies studies show that almost 50 percent of cape town's population has already been infected and in some crowded challenge ships the number is higher the excess death rate suggests that nearly 150000 people have died from covert 19 by religious growth gun crimes
1:27 am
a few years that the south african variants could be more resistance to vaccines and previous covert infections similar to the brazilian one. but studies on this us through inconclusive prizes says there is no evidence that the new variant has caused the high mortality rate and he says they are signs of hope district within cape town that they were badly fitted to in the 1st wave seem to be less badly affected during the 2nd wave and that makes one think offers somehow protected some some like a evidence of some protective effect. even of the picture with the previous wide top bar is no it going to be and but would be think is that if you're in fiction with a new variant virus you will be immune to it against any preceding war and that is the good news never the less work on guys it is team are already preparing for the 3rd wave by increasing testing capacities and because many people continue to

number of wolves in germany grows farmers say they pose a serious threat to their livestock imo the livelihoods. this is doing business in berlin welcome to the program u.s. low cost carrier frontier airlines has made its stock market debut the company is banking on early signs of a recovery in passenger demand however it shares fell slightly below expectations during thursday trading spending most of the day just below frontiers $19.00 a share target domestic demand for flights in the u.s. is making a comeback as. virus vaccines continue but international travel is still well below preplanned demick levels. let's cross to our wall street correspondent hans culture and discuss this a little bit further so our lines in the united states over the worst now yet.
1:32 am
it appears that at least the worst might be it but you hind the airline industry we already see a passenger numbers increasing and some airlines like delta for example this week announced they will stop or end a program for those empty middle seats that does not mean that we are anywhere near where we were before the pandemic but at least we are well off the lows and that is that a good sign and you already mentioned all the vaccinations here in the united states and when summer travel begins in about 2 months we will probably see passenger numbers increase even further and business travel on the other side as a whole different story and if you look at these i.p.o. from frontier that well i mean they started trading on the lower end of their plot price range and the stock didn't really move that much here on thursday but still it's a hopeful tuck in that we have an i.p.o. at all from the airline industry so that things continue to get better yes and that
1:33 am
is there an overriding sense of optimism beyond just the airline industry in the united states. definitely rob we see the u.s. economy again in quite some stream just here on thursday we got new figures from factory activity in the united states and that actually reached the highest point since 19 eighties 3 and overall the u.s. economy could grow by about 7 percent this year that would be the fastest growth since 1984 on friday we will get to the official numbers from the labor department for the month of march and probably for the month of march sorry and probably we might even see that's at these what some economists expect up to $1000000.00 new jobs for the past month so that would be pretty much one of the biggest increases in the labor market since the pandemic started so
1:34 am
a left and right there are signs that the economy is improving even if overall specially if you look at the labor market it will take some time before we reach that level before the pandemic but yes the speed of the u.s. economy is quite astonishing nobody probably would have guessed that a couple of months ago. thanks ira as of today. now health officials have warned that india's temporary ban on major coronavirus vaccine exports could be catastrophic for some african countries india have been providing millions of doses to the kovacs initiative which procures jobs for poorer nations but delhi is now moving to protect its own domestic supply as it fights the searching call for 1000 cases. on thursday india reported more than $72000.00 new covered cases the highest spike in 6 months with a total of $12000000.00 active cases india is the 3rd highest in the world experts
1:35 am
say the country must accelerate its vaccination program and stringently follows social distancing to do absolutely important for us to communicate to people that this is not a sharpton affair and it leaves for the next 4 to 6 months we have to remain very strongly. it's a growth this is among the people but also the political decision makers and administrators the moment we sure like city of political will probably discipline the way this gets an opportunity until now india has administered around 65000000 vaccine doses to its own citizens and exported a similar quantity to 76 other countries but political pressure on the serum institute of india the world's largest maker of vaccines to reserve more for domestic use has resulted in delays for up to $90000000.00 doses which were
1:36 am
destined for developing countries under the un backed kovacs program. for a difference of. true crews are going to be worse. from mr senator from media from. contributors. because of the structure the african union had planned to vaccinate 30 to 35 percent of the continent's population by the end of the year in the delay is likely to make that target impossible now to some of the other global business stories making the news here cartel and allied countries say that gradually add back some 2000000 barrels per day of oil production from may to july as the global economy recovers from the current 1000 pandemic the moving creases production that was slashed last year prices as demand sagged during pandemic recession. but
