to the really to consider the loved ones, even though they may be resistant to comply with total. but they must think of the family members in the loved ones because how they feel like a divided the day to the people. i don't and potentially losing enough to i'm not wearing math in public as a criminal offense in south africa, yet many people don't. but mostly versus last year everything is for the rich people. you know what i mean? because they have so a lot of money, they don't want to die. bullet eating us. it is tiring. it is tara, especially for those who goes to school like kids. now they must go 2 days a week. like, it's all, it's frustrating man. it's frustrating for a lot of people who close to me died because i've already done this 2nd way. so i'm, what are you doing this test belief so far?

the province of how ting around south africa, economic kept your hand book has been hit, particularly hard making up for more than 60 percent. you infection? scientists expect strict lockdown rules soon, but will the 3rd way fits the entire country harder than the 2nd? no, we don't expect to in the, the areas at listing the cost of provinces of south africa to be worse than the 2nd wave. why that is because the 2nd wave was very severe in the cost though, at regions of south africa. and we also know from the science that we have done that the people that got infected with that the variance had released a very high level antibodies. so we expect to see a kind of population immunity around the coast to meditate in cape town, the management team, courage and the elderly, to sign up for what you recall and from war. let's bring in now dr. mary steven,

she is a technical officer at the w h l regional office for africa. thank you so much for your time. and i'd like to begin by asking you about what south africa presidents has been saying, criticizing a lack of access to vaccines, produced in western countries and urging world leaders to end vaccine nationalism. it's estimated that only 2 percent of people on the constant haven't you been vaccinated? how are you staying the situation? look at the nation situation on the continent. so i said today we have, we see about 59400000 view to call us and donations. so far we have a nice touch up with the media and that means you treat the sense of the love seat and how many. so if you look at the comparing to what have been globally

above 2.4, doing this, at least you don't see an up to 2 very so comparing meets with how does the 6400 people in how you come countries about the people in africa well, we have one be 20000000 people that's out for you, but, but that's, that's not a lot when, when you look at a compared to the population and we know that you have been trying to address some of these supply issues. for example, yesterday the w h o announced plans for setting up a vaccine production hub in south africa to reduce the dependence on imports. how quickly can this actually help though, when, when vaccines are needed to urgently yeah, this is needed and very good news. so we've got the holding themselves up because we need to, well,

nobody definitely want to live on the continent. we need many more countries to start to abuse going to be seen by in the meantime, we also get additional but generally for africa is krisha. the content will be told way so we can quickly expand about creation coverage. i'd like to ask you about, you know, the overall situation now and your concerns perhaps going forward because we have seen the more transmissible or what appears to be the more transmissible delta variant, ravishing through india, for example. now rapidly spreading and other areas of the world. how concerned are you about the impact that it could have on the african continent? yes, we are very concerned about the total weight of so many countries now having to be to full countries like media democrats,

of congo. and majority of these countries already have different values values. we have worked in the 5 countries. we have the violins in about $85.00 and then the 2 countries continue and we got the deal. so we know that highly highly music and this is also something up front for when the continent in this direction where people fly peak they are not on the defense must will be very seriously like they used to be full with some of these major does happen to be open be economy. so we use a very good life normal condition for the violence which is trisha new. we're

very close to what, where, but national bridge very, very little. we thank you so much for joining us, dr. mary. steven technical officer at the w h. l regional office for africa to tell us a little bit more about the initiatives that you have on the continents and how the situation is developing. we appreciate your time. thank you. and here's a look at some of the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic. elsewhere. india gave out a record $8300000.00 vaccine doses on monday, under a campaign to inoculate. all adults, italy will lift a requirement that people wear face masks outdoors from june 28th tokyo olympics organizers plan to allow the sale of alcohol according to local media. a decision drawn criticism from resident to face curves on access to bars and pubs, and north korea says that it has tested more than $30000.00 people without finding

a single infection. experts doubt the claim because of the country's poor health infrastructure. turning to colombia now, which has lost over 100000 people to the corona virus pandemic, and has recorded a new 24 hour record of almost 650 deaths president. even do k has pointed his finger squarely at the 10s of thousands of people who have taken to the streets to protest his government in recent weeks. he pointed out in a statement saying that protest has cost tens of thousands of lives. nearly 15000000 jobs delivered and yet still not enough to slow down this new wave of corona, virus infections in columbia, the nation ranks 10 in the world until infection and fatalities. people are worried that some of them would you go look in the more book. sadly, we have read 100000 a day. the truth is that the health system is that

a breaking point, it was all i mean can was for the city, those of us who have lost loved ones. we know how the situation is. the government is returning everything back to normal, but the numbers are too high and i do not agree with this. go to the more i am very sad that we reach that figure in one way or another. people are not fully aware of it because there's so much responsibility in the street or not, and it's partly government negligence. part of the governments is the blameless elsewhere. the health ministry put out a statement describing reason protests where thousands of people took to the streets against tax sykes and corruption as a super spreading events. in crowds are the main breeding grounds for this disease to spread exponentially.

elements. if we didn't have large crowds in the last 6 to 7 weeks, more than 10000 deaths could have been prevented as the owners and as much as their minors. but at the same time, restrictions to curb, the spread of virus were lifted and at least 2 of the 4 most contagious current virus variance arrived in columbia. now the intensive care unit of hospitals are filling up. and health workers here is central supplies may run out well wire card. the name stands for the biggest financial scandal in the history of germany ever since the company's collapse and investigator, the committee has been trying to shed light on what happened today. the german parliament debates the final report. a year ago, june 2020 the financial services provider filed for insolvency. previously,

it had become known that 1900000000 euros were missing from wire card balance sheet . within a few days, the company stock plummeted from $100.00 euro's to just one euro, $0.41. that also plunge many private and small investors into financial ruin. how did it happen? they were red flags, but apparently no checks. auditors that ernst and young have been criticized for having given their okay to the balance sheets. but germany's government watchdog boffin also found us get more on all of that. i am joined by the w. me, hey, the cook nor our chief political editor. so mikaela 1st i'd like to ask you about this parliamentary committee report that has come, come out and is being debated as we've heard, what are the major findings while the made the findings are that there was a lot of conspiracy. there is

a lot of disbelief that those signs were that fairly early on that that even was a report by co mat spunk, and which was pushed aside by wire cards, appearance as a financial service provider. and that, that information simply wasn't taken in even leading to angela mac or none other than the chance a her self and trying to lobby essentially for wire card, even at the end of 2019, when all of these facts were on the table. so the over arching finding is that at best the government was naive and it was just, there are signs that it might have been complicit in. what amounts to the biggest financial failure here in germany, since the financial crisis and its cover was blown, there was a lot of criminality involved here. because 1900000000 years simply couldn't be found by ernestine young actually in the end to then refuse to certify that so

quite a juicy scandal indeed. but the report stopped sort of pinning the blame but, but nevertheless, i mean there is a cloud of potential complicity now hanging over the government mikaela. so how is that likely to impact the vote that we have coming up in september and the country has exactly because you mentioned the government, but that's to coalition party. the social democrats and finance, municipal finance minister and neutrons. the candidates left. so it's an i'm going to michael's party is trying to pin a lot of blame on him personally. because after all, he is the over arching figure whose responsibility it is to make. so that, that oversight body, the boffin actually does is still properly. well, clearly it didn't, it's boss was replaced with the social democrat sides saying,

well, hang on a minute. this was the entire government. that was a web of connections right into policy making that allowed this to happen. so in the end, blame was distribution along those party lines. but a lot of lessons to be learned for the future and the newly restricted boss in the financial authority. she's political editor, may hear the cosigner. thank you. and here's a look at some other stories making headlines. the spanish government has approved pardons for 9 capital m separatists, the leaders they were jailed for trying to turn the region of catalonia into an independent state 4 years ago. i minister pedro sanchez described the pardons as a goodwill gesture and a 1st step toward resolving a bitter political conflict. south korean president, noon j n has met with the new us envoy for north korea song. kim kim said, the u. s. hope the north will agree to new talks. this despite

a statement from the powerful sister of north korean leader kim jong and dismissing hope of a meeting, the changing coffee can cut your risk of deadly liver diseases. that's from a study just out from the journal dmc public health. it says people who drink $3.00 to $4.00 cups of regular or decamp coffee are less likely to develop or die from the great barrier reef off of australia's east coast should be put on a list of endangered world heritage sites. according to a un scientists committee, that recommendation has angered the australian government, the reef as a major tourist attraction and australia has been working to keep it off of the endangered list. the when body says the decline in coral is due to climate change and urged australia to take accelerated action. get more. we are joined by rebecca amr. she is a journalist. she is based in sydney, rebecca, australia saying that the recommendation is politically motivated,

that it will challenge it. what's behind the controversy? will is trailyn environment minister susan les, his said she was blindsided by this proposal. and then in fact, the united nations had to show the strategy and government that this kind of recommendation on the race would not be made ahead of the july meeting. the environment minister says that the proposal has partially davey. a. that's in the normal process. and that it has failed to include the latest information on what the strategy and government is doing to mitigate the damage to the rates. so that includes restoration of coral, as well as some water quality management. susan les says that it's julia has been singled out and that she will challenge the proposal. however, marina, but here in australia are saying that a given the damage done to the rape already and the conditions, conditions that continues to face. this proposal does make sense. tell us

a little bit more about that damage, rebecca. i mean, you know, what has it been in recent years and what is being done to counteract it? so in the last 5 years, also a lawyer and there has been 3 major coral bleaching events, an ocean warming water quality pollution, even inappropriate fishing use, as well as the crown of gold star face, which is a major credit at the some types of carl. they have cause significant damage to the race massive carl last some of which can't be undone. you visited the race and understand not long ago. we're about to see you in a, in a video shot actually coming up. what has been your personal impression of the condition of the race and how it is you have seen it evolve over the years. so i went to the race earlier this month a couple of weeks ago, and i went to 3 different sites on the race. and i know my next best time,

but i was surrounded by an abundance of healthy fish and healthy carl. it's important to remember that the great barrier reef is made up about 2 or 3000 individual sites. and there's absolutely no doubt that many of they have been destroyed and completely damaged, in some cases, such preservation and all the restoration other focus of the race at this time. the big question is we've heard how exactly that happens and under what classification internationally as well rebecca am, are filling us in on all the details. they're joining us from sydney. thank you. at euro 2022 groups wrapped up on monday in group. see all 3 of joins the netherlands and qualifying for the last 16. while there was a night of drama in group b and copenhagen, denmark hammered russia for one to secure a surprising 2nd place. finish in front of

a packed stadium with fans and players. clearly emotional after christian erickson's collapse in the 1st group game in saint petersburg, finland held belgium for a long time before an own goal and a rome. lou luca qu strike secured a to know when for one of the tournament favorites organizers of the european football championships have refused a request to meantime to light up munich stadium with rainbow colors when germany play their final group game there on wednesday. but the sports governing body said no because it had to stay politically neutral. pictures of the leon serina from january decked out and rainbow colors in memory of the gay men and women killed in the holocaust. this week unix mayor wrote a letter to you way for asking to use the same color scheme as a statement against toma phobia and transfer via when hungry come to play germany. hungary official response was dismissive for the best bet. i think sporting events

with politics is a bad idea. you look at history shows that and the germans should know all about it . it was going on on the medication or shut up and kick. not any more times have changed from the days when footballers were to be seen but not heard. more and more players are using their platform to speak up about causes they believe in like germany's lay on correct sca it's been about photo and for me, so i'm just glad to see it. i'm happy anytime an example is set by us, it's a great sign that they're creating awareness of diverse ideas of make some of that . but the sports governing body in europe. you wafer said it was declining the request because it would be a political message to protest a new hungarian law. that rights groups have described as anti l g b t discrimination. instead, you way for suggested alternative dates for the rainbow colors in the later rounds

of the tournament. when hungary last place in their group are unlikely to be playing. and i spoke earlier with d, w. sports reporter jonathan crane. he says that you a for may also be trying to protect its relationship with hungary for another reason, aside from politics hungry could come into play because budapest is the only venue allowing for stadiums. now if, for example, london has problems with corona, virus, london is due to host the final that maybe budapest could come to the rescue and step in and host that final instead. but i think what this is also done is highlight a cultural and political divide. in many ways we seem a hungary fan. a lot of the traveling element is made up of a hot core, right. which is great. they've been marching before the game in budapest, re, focal inside the stadiums. you can see them outside death. they're actually being investigated at the moment by you a for the front players complained of hearing monkey chance during the match the we

can say maybe you a for is mindful of this tension. they mindful, they didn't want the inflame thing, but i didn't mix the fact that matter. i know it will be wearing probably his rainbow on bad, which bizarrely you a for does allow some confusingly than trucks. that consent what might happen inside the stadium. but for an organization that kind of talks up it's, it's, and she discrimination program. people will say, well, are they just words being met by actions and talk to does the question? who side you actually on? meantime in the united states and a watershed moment for the l g b, t q, community, there in the country's most popular sport call nothing. a defender with the las vegas raiders has become the 1st active player in the national football league. to come out of gay, he was originally drafted by the cleveland browns. the 3rd round of the 2016 draft . he signed with the raiders ahead of the 2020 season and says that he hopes his

decision will help make the coming out process easier for others. england and scotland preparations for their euro 2020 game tonight have been dealt a blow by news of a positive corona virus test for scotland. billy gilmore, she won't be able to play, his teens must win match against croatia. meantime, to england players been till well and mason mount will miss the game against the czech republic. after contact with gilmore, this votel might look innocent enough, a moment between 3 chelsea teammates after they did battle for different countries . but with scotland belly gilmore testing positive for the corona, virus, scotland and england both now have problems before the final group matches the england pam mason mountain bench. oh wow. have both tested negative, but health and football authorities have decided they must remain in self isolation in a tweets the england team said the prayer would have to isolate up to and including

monday, the 28th of june. adding this decision has been taken in consultation with public health. england's gilmore is scotlands rising star. but due to his positive test, he will definitely miss the crunch game against croatia. jobs as you would expect symptomatic no, no symptoms. so hopefully cell phone hold up. you won't have too many symptoms, and you'll get back to plan as quickly as possible. always go for it. and in terms of the tim jones for someone else scotland, no only a when will see them through to the last 16. they also know they have to get there without one of that best performers. you're watching d. w. news coming up next on d. w. news asia, we will look at how the pandemic is helped them migrant workers in india find a future closer to home and vaccine tourism. we followed the indonesians trying to
