and, and i tell team and asking what you like us to do for you and you feel to be your space for me. and i said to my sister, just keep you updated always doing what's going on with the and then we can take it from the the dead raise the alarm prompting local helpful voice he's to probe, displayed up infections in the community. testing revealed that almost a quarter of primes $250.00 residents were infected. our recruiter is the community spokesperson. he told us people here were caught off guard. this go what he does with a bang. we weren't prepared for it since the last 15 months. we were totally free since march last year when we started here in south africa. and suddenly it would have been. and as i already mentioned here, what we were prepared these kenny price in the heart of the community. but it has

no capacity to provide k for people who are seriously ill. because this hospital is about 200 kilometers away. while most people who tested positive, hardly experienced any simpson, no one wanted to take any chances. i was negative, but my, my gosh, i was born. so i decided i want to do it for you. course if i was positive, then you will do it for me all. so that's why i stay in my house in my room in the same also course, i don't wanna infect some out of peoples of i don't run that has to be infected. that's why i want to my residence. agreed to impose a quarantine on all of the plans to 65 households, to slow displayed in fiction, among the people of this type in the community. every one isolated from each other

and the outside world. however hard might have been, the exercise proved rewarding. most people are now free of the virus and there is the general feeling that the worst is over for the brand. but just as people felt safe to come out again with youngsters resuming part time, places like this game of rugby, fresh, nationwide restrictions mean the newly found freedom will be shortness. well, let's have a look. the way health systems work outside the big cities, dr. ernest doc is a founding partner, a broad reach health care. he's an expert in developing and implementing a large scale public health programs and join us from cape town. welcome to the w. dr. we've just seen that small town hit hard by the pandemic. other ment, likely to be many more like that in south africa. unfortunately at this point, yes, there are. we were always worried about

a 3rd wave based on the fact that we're going into winter. and this was with the previous mary and. and then with the version of the delta variant, that apparently is much more highly transmissible who coinciding with are going into a serious part of winter. i think that's a bit of a been a deadly combination. so unfortunately, i think we can expect more infections and are you expecting rural areas in small communities to be hit harder than perhaps the big surface i wouldn't necessarily say harder or less, i think across the board. i think everybody is going to be quite hard. in particular, if we have more of more aggressive variant and we're talking about us being in winter time and winter in south africa. the bikes of the year, we have temperature is below 10 degrees centigrade in the evenings, and often some of your data 0 in the morning. so people will stay indoors with close windows, and that's going to increase the spread of both in urban and rural areas. so here

we are putting ourselves in a worldwide pandemic. how is the government of south africa doing? is it giving sufficient priority to the, to the folding funding of health care facilities? it is actually already one for the government of south africa. and i think that we see exemplified by the president himself who stands up and personally give these updates is clearly a big priority. however, the country have experienced quite a few big challenges in trying to address the kobe. in particular, we're trying to get the vaccination program up and running. so because he's still been a bit behind, meaning that the new very i have he just at a time when not enough involved have been vaccinated as of yet. and what is, what is keeping that back? is it that same supply? is that the vaccine hasn't been saying what's holding the, the program back at the moment. i think it's primarily been issues related to supply and, and then secondarily,

some issues related to preparedness and planning. but for the most part, the company has struggled with some major issues of supply early on. the chose the astrazeneca vaccine, which was ineffective against the variant that we had to pull the plug on back. and then they moved to the g n. j vaccine. however, that got halted for a while at the study, the, the blood clotting issue. and then it was put on hold due to a contact nation issue. so the 2 main thing that you're got interrupted, which i've nothing to do with the country at all. and the country then has also invested in the 5, maxine which finally arrived. but it's 2 doses, so yeah, they've been quite a few fundamental struggles getting out of the block overall and, and done, i think very good. we can see the progress wrapping up. right. about a 100000 people a day. we need to be at about $350000.00 a day to be on track and i think that would be commitment to get the country there . good talking to you. thank you for spending the time dr. dr. doc. oh,

my pleasure. thank you so much. what us trailer is also timing of restrictions as new clusters of infections emerge. also linked to the delta, barren coworkers, looking at the elderly man has to be vaccinated. several cities of impose lock downs and mandatory mask wearing authorities fear this latest wave of cases is the most serious so far. sydney's iconic opera house shrouded in silence. it's puzzling streets, deserted decision has responded to an outbreak of the highly contagious corona virus denser variant with the 2 week lockdown. meanwhile, a lockdown in darwin has been extended the realities. we are not out of the woods yet, not by a long way. the risk to the community has grown in the past 24 hours. we are now in an extremely critical period. we must die lockdown while we keep this bar as

trapped. other cities have made mask wearing compulsory and limited social gatherings. australia has recorded relatively few cases. $30000.00 since the pandemic began. but its success in keeping the virus at bay is being threatened by a stuttering vaccination campaign. only around 5 percent of the population is fully vaccinated. we really faced the most serious crisis in the covert pandemic since the early days in february, march, last year. it's made the worse because this was a largely avoidable and foreseeable crisis. but thanks to the very poor procurement and roll out of the vaccines, we don't have that strength to, to respond to the situation that some merging as the virus forces life to a standstill. australians can only hope that the vaccination rollout picks up speed

soon. doctor john campbell is a health analyst placed in england. he joins us from carlyle. welcome to d. w doctor. what is it about this delta van? that means that so many countries are now increasing. pandemic restrictions when they were just emerging from locked down. it's also disappointing. fill isn't the will things we're looking so good to now all of a sudden we've got what is essentially a 3rd wave. this virus basically 1st rose in india. many people traveling from india to the u. k. brought the virus to the u. k. now there was many thousands of people coming from india to the u. k, before we restrict to travel. so we have multiple seating events. so the virus is able to get a foothold in the u. k. from the u. k. a spread on to portugal, for example, as a result of largely as a result of u. k. holidaymakers it's and now spreading throughout europe about 95 percent of the cases in the u. k. on now the delta value and what seems to happen is people

get infected with a smaller nakeila, smaller number viruses and need to get infected and then produce a very high viral load, which means they shared more with the virus. so we've got greatly increased transmission about 64 percent drake. the transmission in households on the previous alpha u. k, can variant. and of course that was about 40 percent more transmissible than the original wild type barrier. and so just to be clear that it's more easily transmissible, but it doesn't seem to be killing more people. well, there is a slight increase in hospitalizations in the u. k. l though that's not dramatic. there's been 15 percent more cases in the past week, and the u. k, but hospitalizations are much less now that's largely because we're protected by the vaccines. but there is some early indications that is making people somewhat sick, not a lot, not dramatically. so this will be consistent with the idea that this virus

generates the higher bible mode in the person making the more infectious, but also potentially making them sick. but more dates to come on, not yet to know reflection and increased depth as of yet. and they said now, consensus on which vaccines all armed effective against this delta variant? yet, yes, we did. we do know that both of the vaccines that we're using primarily in the u. k, which of the 5 when the astrazeneca are effective. so after 2 doses that very effective now after one dose, the effect is really quite small. about 35 to 36 percent after the 1st dose. but after the 2nd dose, that goes up to about 90, about 88 percent efficiency. so going to go from $35.00 to about 88 percent efficiency after the 2nd dose. and this is part of the problem is one of course, because the delta variant, really to protect people against symptomatic disease, is we need 2 doses and 2 weeks after the 2nd dose. so we have this delay effect as well. but both the oxford us on the,

the oxford on the estrogenic vaccine are very effective and keeping people out of hospital. and people that get vaccinated a very likely to be a symptomatic or have one or 2 symptoms as opposed to 5 symptoms that we got before vaccination. and the symptoms are likely to be milder. now what are the height of the summer travel season? some countries have reopened to tourists under certain conditions, and we have thousands of people driving to the euro, 2020 football buddies around europe. i wonder if another case, if another spike in cases is inevitable. is this going to be a super spreader event or receive of super spread or events now with the previous very and even with the the alphabet, the u. k. value. that wouldn't have been the case because it was not as transmissible. and you might remember with the protest in the united states last year, we were worried about outdoor transmission, but that never happened. but this one is so much more transmissible. now outdoor spread is a possibility. and indeed,

we know that there's 5 people in denmark who've attended your match. and 5 of those people have become actually positive for the delta variant. and the danish epidemiologists are pretty sure they contract to be at the football match. so previous variance, i wouldn't be worried, but because of this delta variance trans miss ability, i must say the euros are really quite a big gamble that we're taking at the moment. ok, thank you for joining us in explaining that so clearly. how fabulous dr. john campbell, thanks and we'll take a look at some of the other stores making use around the world. now. simple stuff in the u. k. dozens of 55 is passing a large place in central london. if i broke out near the busy elephant and castle transport causing trains to be diverted, there are no reports of injuries and police do not believe the incident is tenant related. the us military has released footage of air strikes against iran, bath militias, along the syrian iraqi border. the pentagon says it targeted operational weapons

storage facilities. president biden is working with international partners to revive the 2015 iran nuclear deal. a swedish prime minister levey has resigned the week after losing a confidence votes in parliament. the speaker will not have to appoint a government. the prime minister decided against calling a snap election because of the pandemic. you are a secretary of state and to be blank and is in rome for talks of syria and dealing with so called islam estate. his appeals for countries to repatriate citizens who joined the militants and prosecute them if necessary. to italy, where there's growing concerned about increasing numbers of migrants arriving on the island of land producer. the island has long been a magnet for people hoping to apply for asylum in europe in recent weeks. have seen hundreds of new arrivals. the you says dangerous c crossings on the increase again after falling to a record low. at the start, the pandemic. the mediterranean sea,

licking the shore of the italian island of la producer. for this fisherman, it represents his whole life. but for those who tried to navigated, the sea can be dangerous. a couple of days ago, these 2 fishermen rescued. a group of refugees in auto wrote to the risk of young. there was never on this side when they heard a noise. when we realized they were climbing some babbled onto our boat. and they were using the rails climbed up and then broke. i was looking at and the head severe i have never seen before, and i was always wild tourists and locals ensure the crystal clear water. just a few meters away, out of sight. are exhausted, rescue cheese were spent hour or day long journeys on small boats. these migrants

are only some of the 1000 to have reached land produce. at this here an island closer to africa, the european continent. we have just witnessed the arrival of about 15 migrants here behind me, among them one child. we are not allowed to go there, but we know that there are and g o, they're also the coast guards and health personnel and that the migrants will now be brought to the hot spot. on the micro center here was designed for 250 people at times that host, many more than the migrants are not allowed to leave. the center for the official reason is fugitive pandemic. we are also not allowed to enter, so we speak with up the slam through defense. he only arrived from denisia a few days ago. we left with 14 people to him and 2 minors. there are no jobs in geneva. if there was work in geneva minus would not come here on their own and pay for it. you know the

mailer daemon ever since 2014, more than 20000 people have died trying to cross the mediterranean. but experts say it's likely to be more these grazed in the cemetery on her, some of them they're being taken care of by the end. she. oh, that cloud you have italy's working for. we meet her at the park at the rope memorial. the gateway to europe, another place to remember those who died at c. italy says you should at least give people the dance to ensure you safely my principality. the main problem is that there are no legal pathways for decently. they have no way to migrate to travel, to just re an emergency type system with an emergency type approach. so let's see on the people who didn't see an emergency type approach. that could be a fisherman,

like in general, putting eco have to rescue dose in distress at c. he says that this small island needs more help. so as soon as we know that they are people they should be treated well. this is something big. many countries are involved, all of europe, they talk to each other, i think they can deal with it better than others that were just celebrated as long as there are no political solutions for those trying to reach europe. supporters parts nika, hopes that those to still the sites to make the dangerous journey will make it a life. excuse me, monsoon flooding along the river, ganges in india as exposed the grace of hundreds of corona, vidas victims most thought to be people who died as cases searched early this year . the discovery is fueling allegations of the government has concealed the true

number of cove in 1900 deaths. a single body floats down the ganges. india's sacred river has turned into a graveyard. seasonal flooding has caused the river to swell, revealing hundreds of bodies. they are mostly sought to be victims of india, 2nd wave of coded 19 during a surgeon cases crematorium could not keep up with demand. the mom was thrown into the river and were floating in the water. the local authorities arrange information for them. the apartment. so as the water level in the river is rising, anybody who end up in the water and there's a chance that the river will be contaminated cremation, that families could not afford. and now being carried out on the river banks,

more than a 1000 corpses have washed up here. since may health professionals have accused indian government of fudging its current of virus figures. to hide the true death toll. the official number stands at nearly 400000. the hundreds of corpses emerging from the ganges suggest that number may be far higher. a large part of the united states and canada are experiencing a heat wave in one village in canada as the british columbia attempts to reach nearly 47 degrees celsius the weekend. at 160 degrees fahrenheit, the cooling dip to beat the summer heat. residents to the water assist her mama rose above 40 degrees celsius in seattle for the 1st time ever. yes hi. i mean,

you just stand around like i you can, breeze is so high for me. definitely have to issue. yeah, yeah, the pavement, even gravity. no, thank you. go back inside the heat was too much for this farmer's market. this is very few times that we do close the market early, most of the time of which we've ever had to close the market earliest because i know that because of the heat, i think this is the 1st time we've ever closed early because of where the temperature is like, these are no coincidence. the past decade has been the warmest on record, and the 5 hottest days were all recorded in the last 5 years. the main thing going on is, is highly unusual weather pattern. but that being said, the climate change is real. our temperatures have warmed here, especially summer nighttime temperatures. and so that has just kind of raised the

baseline in made this heat event that much more severe. while some seem to revel in the extreme temperatures, many environmentalists say this heat wave bears all the hallmarks of a climate emergency feeds in brussels, belgium draining, jump in portugal. nice if you want to. 2020 in the round of 16 token is made the difference. we're super long range goal and the 1st car belgium now face a tough match against italy in the quarter finals and sundays all the game, the czech republic to reach the quarter finals after surprise when the netherlands in budapest mathias. the legs red card in the 2nd half turned the game in the cheques favor and they capitalized on their advantage to went to new just a couple of hours by car, from the check border to budapest,

there is no surprise and lots of funds traveled to hungry and later celebrated the team's performance due to the triumphant walk from the stadium, the check invasion, celebrating the sweetest victory. oh, perfect. ah. i think people perfect down very good much. i like these my 1st much in chick or players were just as ecstatic. that's it goes from too much, hollis and puts a chick with the dutch to the sword. then it's good. it's me is unreal. no, it's a dream. but i'm yes and it was the best game of my life. this is the euros and the check national team, though it just came out a lot of funds in the stands and it was a great game. i enjoyed it a little sybil describe us. how does the sense that the dutch struggled after mathias the legs read cards for them?

it was another bitter disappointment and their weight when the 1st major trophy, since you $88.00 was on we were very optimistic, but no, we're ashamed. losing to new to the check, the public shouldn't be possible. funny. it's a shame we didn't play well, i think that we are finally allowed to watch football from the stands again. and then this happens. but the night belong to the checks, complete denmark in the quarter finals, and will know surely fear no one in this week or half of the draw o. one of the highlights of their, of 16 takes place in london tomorrow as old rivals england and germany face off. and if you're struggling to pick a winner, and maybe you need to listen to the elephant oracle humbugs in your soda, has predicted that germany will win the matching wembley stadium. and if you have any doubts about this allison's credentials, you should bear in mind that she's correctly predicted the outcomes of all 3 of
