let's look at the international reaction because canada, the e u, the u. k, the u. s. they have all condemned this twitter band, i mean the, the u. s. as it has no place in a democracy. don't you need foreign investments to help build your economy? we need for an investment. we also need for those countries to be mindful of the fact that i pub, and such groups have been engaging lobby firms like mike, you re, public affairs for instance, that it's paying $85000.00 a day to churn out, such negative stuff to, to go and a full court press on us senators and, and prominent people, prominent politicians so that they would create this negative narrative about nigeria and which is far from the truth. and those were on ground know that. and the, for instance, the british high commissioner in the era is aware of that because now she's on the receiving end. she's being threatened by the same april by now because the lead of april, mister ambassador, i'd like to ask you because i mean what, what is clear is that the economic situation in the country is not good. unemployment has m

u. k. u. s. and canada have imposed new sanctions on bella. race to the false diversion of a passenger planned to mince last month among those talk did not close allies of alexander lucas shanker. are accused of fraud during masters election and violence against protested disputing the results he was health ministry has released details of its 2nd so developed covey. 19 vaccines of dollars is a 3 shot vaccine, which it says is 92 percent effective. cuba is facing is, was outbreak since the start of the pandemic with a record number of daily infections. mexico and argentina recalled their basses from nicaragua over president daniel, take his increasing crackdown on opposition. more than a dozen opposition figures have been arrested this month in columbia, there's been fighting between anti government protest as i'm please there. the capital bug, a tall, one protest was killed, daily demonstrations against advising poverty, inequality, and police brutality. in one of those stories on a website that out there a dot com something to the through the day about the more news and half now the next, it's the stream. do stay with talk to al jazeera, we can, the army were attacking ring, and now they're attacking everyone in me. and do you regret words like that? we listen. absolutely. nigeria with a woman present, it would be great. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on 0 news. i am from you. okay to day on the stream. we are featuring 3 stories and one shot in ethiopia will elections be free and fat? how dangerous is the delta cove at $900.00 variant? as part of the world start opening up a rapidly mutating covey very, it has doctors and scientists alarmed and the mysterious has that i syndrome wouldn't be out of place. and a james bond film. it has the medical community puzzled, and it suffers to maintain a former c i. a agent joins us to tell us what he knows. there's a lot to get 3, but we want you to be part of today shows you compose your comments and questions right here and i do to chat. we begin in ethiopia. what is being propagated by the government as a country 1st of free and fair elections is proving to be anything but resorting to repressive tactics to ensure a fixed electoral outcome. utopian federal and regional authorities have imprison thousands of opposition leaders, their supporters and decisions. many of whom have been subsequently tortured or killed. several of the main opposition parties are boycotting the elections, so as not to legitimize them. when the elections in ethiopia mount the 1st electoral test for prime minister abbey ahmed, who came to power in 2018. but there's concern about how free and fair elections will be despite assurances from the prime minister, while millions of ethiopian have already voted photos in take right or not. and voting has also been postponed in other regions due to logistical issues and security challenges that was make sense of everything that's happening. we're joined by that. can i sell a lot of friendship? i know we can handle it that can i, if i saw some video of the prime minister i made earlier today, we will ask him about all these elections free and fair. this is what he said on camera. but we're going to get this year's election in many ways is much better than previous ones. what i want to say is all opposition political parties. what are they lose or when, who are competing in this election by trusting the people and government deserve to be honored? all forces who participate in this election by ignoring noise from outside, deserve honor. the electoral board will determine the results. so we will see the result together, hired or not soccer i. so these elections were touted as being the one the most democratic elections that if you would ever experience or to date your take well, with regards to jokers fledgling democracy. i think the standards of the bar has been set pretty low when you take into consideration that the past 5 elections held in the country were neither deemed free or fair by independent observers. however, this time around there is perhaps the most troubling aspect of it is the fact that there is a dearth of political representation in these elections from the top 10 opposition parties by a number of candidates. fielded, 8 of them are based on his elbow and how their support bases in detail about they have very little reach outside of the capital city. so the couple city which holds something like 5 percent of his yoke is 110 or 120000000 people is well represented . but entire regions of had their prominent representatives and political leaders, excluded systematically, rounded up jail to or, and basically forced out of the polls. so while there are some, there still remains a lot to be desired with regards to your democrats process. has their classes on youtube so tad says despite its shortcomings, this is by far the 1st free election, ethiopia ever had at least from what my family and friends experienced and witnessed. so most of the elections as for the current, this current round of elections, most of the voting it's have happened. most of it has happened by now. what are you seeing? what are you hearing this? this is the, the, the best so far that we've had some ethiopian society. well, as i said, the best does not necessarily mean adequate when you may highlight again that the country's 5 previous elections were neither free and fair nor fair. so being the best of, of elections that are, that are sub par, isn't necessarily something to be fitted or celebrated. we do need to take into account that something in just a, just a little bit under 20 percent of the seats that were supposed to be contested today will go uncontested either because of the civil war into gray security situation in different parts of the country or suspected voter irregularities in regions such as the somali region and so voting, there will be to postpone timber. i'm very glad you mentioned that sacrifice because i'm wondering what impact that will have on the overall elections once or the results of being tallied. have a listen to this comment and come right off the back of it. what is particular interest is the election will not be taking place in about one constituencies in the countries about a $1500.00 foot 7. whether it's going to be taking place. so they think differently, the most people a stable regions where somebody read the question in front of us now is will the elections address the legitimacy problem face or the ruling party? well, that's a good question. but for instance, to address or question directly even to some of the region as peaceful as it might be. perhaps one of the most prominent parties that was slated to compete and provide the regional government with the stiffest challenge of the poles. the o n ls itself has something like over a dozen of its members detained and currently incarcerated. so they have been unable to truly express and take part in their own you know, what are the democratic rights rights that are supposed to be enshrined in the constitution? so even if polls were to go on schedule, it's unclear if they would have had any significant impact on what seems to be a projected regional government and ruling party victory their christ. i'm just looking at prime minister omits twitter feed, and he's he mentioned voting. he took pictures of voting, but he's also in the last 12 hours says so post date, images of a new bread factory talking about infrastructure as well. this is, these are all the issues the to other issues are not resonating internationally, but are they important within ethiopia? of course, for the international headlines they to grow, complet is making the news, but elsewhere around the country. what are the issues that people are concerned about when they're voting? what are you hearing? well at this point in time, you feel as facing numerous crisis above all the most dire of them is the the ongoing civil war, which is now in its 7th month in the northern region to gray. and it led to thousands of dying and something like 90 percent of the residents there needing emergency food assistance. however, the topic of to grey, the topic of the war, there has been systemically excluded from not only and the serious representation at the polls, but even from televised electoral debates that took place over the course the past few months. the issue was brought up and as i said, that's the most troubling aspect. because far too many of the more prominent parties are featuring up the elections. do not shy away greatly from the ruling party in terms of ideology and thus there isn't too much in terms of an attempt to really challenge the, the government and handle the security crisis that arise that alarm. thank you for being on the strange day. we appreciate your insight now from you. if you appear to a global covey very that on tried to become the well to most dominant strain. he stopped to go back to a physician in india, showing her concerns for the many for the 70 percent most transmissible. then the 2nd or more severe disease, the pile hospitalisation treats this can open the whole system up until like digital coldly. it does affecting most children as compared to the previous periods . i biggest concern to dissuade is, is that additionally same thing we do is i think division, we need to do the same for every individual at the shop. so i think the cdc needs to revise it all my policies are mostly in, relates to individuals as far as the gradient is concerned. now joining us from geneva. we have daughter maria van cocoa. she is the covered 1900 technical lead at the w h. o, a health emergency program, she is the right person to ask about a cobra 19 variance. i know that you've talked about this quite a bit and we're hearing about that quite a bit. this very and how would you describe it to the general public? what is going on? things 1st of all, for having me on the show. this delta variant is a dangerous variance. this could be virus and it's natural form. it's and then it's ancestral form. it's dangerous to begin with. and any variant that has mutations or a constellation of mutation that has increased christmas ability that has the possibility of causing increased rates of hospitalization. we don't yet have any indication of increased severity, but increased transmission means that more people can be infected quicker. and if you have systems that are overwhelmed to begin with and you have more cases that are coming, that are needing a hospital bed, your health care system which is already overburdened, is going to be even further overburden. and that can lead to more death that can lead to many more problems that societies are facing. so this is a dangerous virus to begin with and i'm more transmissible. one makes our control measures that much more challenging. and that's what we're worried about. we're worried about 18 months into a panoramic. the world is exhausted. i'm exhausted, you're exhausting what it's like. we're running a marathon and a full sprint on uneven terrain through a very dark tunnel. and now we have these twists and turns, and it's something that we expect, because the more the virus circulates, the more has a chance to mutate. so this is convergent evolution. this is what is expected. but this makes our job all of us because every single one of us around the world has a role to play that much harder. but we can still do this. we can still in this if it's a delta, right? that means that where for variance that we know of all the others out there, dot maria, that we should be concerned about. you said that this is a natural part of, of a virus. it's going to be more we might even run out to greek that who knows, we will, we will probably run out of the greek alphabet so we will have more letters that will be there. but keep in mind, these are, there are for variance of concern. the alpha beta gamma delta delta varied in the one that's most concerning right now because it has even more, it's more transmissible than the alpha variant that be 117, we have 6 or 7 variance for the interest that we are tracking at the global level some of these variance of interest may become variance of concern, which means they have demonstrated increase the verity or trans disability. but some of them may fall off of our list. we may follow them for some time and they may turn out to be not as i hate to use the word concerning because they're also turning. but we have a global system in place. this is what we want people to know about out there is that as the virus changes, we're working with scientists all over the world. all. and i mean all over the world, not just in high income countries, but high and low income countries to track the variance, to improve genetic sequencing. so that we have better eyes and ears about which mutations are out there. what is out there. and we have a system in place to assess these mutations. not all of them are important. some of them do not, you know, can for any next to the virus. so that it, it transmits more easily and some are quite detrimental to the virus itself. and they die out. now we have a global system in place to track them and then to inform our public health and social measures, our vaccines, our diagnostics, and the good news is our public health and social measures work at individual level measures. our i p. c. measures our diagnostics, work, our vaccines, work against even the delta variance, but we do need the people to get the full dose. and if your vaccine that you are offer gives you 2 doses. get that 2nd dose. but we'd vac and around the world. we do not have vaccines reaching those who are most in need. less than one percent of low income countries have had people vaccinated, and that is just appalling. and so we're working on that through our kovacs partners to be able to increase that. but we need to vaccinate those who are most at risk, people of older age, people with underlying condition. and most importantly, our frontline workers, people who are out there that are carrying for sick individuals, putting themselves on the line. so there's a lot to do those. maria on youtube. one of the questions was, how do you avoid the coverage del delta variant? and is that even possible to avoid it? well, there's a lot that you can do to keep yourself protected to one. if you're offered of axes, get vaccine when it's your turn, take your turn advocate for vaccine acas efficacy vaccine, excuse me, equity around the world. but know what your risk is every day the virus is circulating at an uneven rate around the world. some countries have controlled cobit with public health and social measures, even without vaccination. so know what your risk is every day, and take measures to lower your risk. avoid crowded spaces where a mask make sure it's over your nose and mouth. make sure has good filtration, make sure your hands are clean when you put it on and take it off. make sure you have good ventilation when you're indoors is as simple in some situations as opening a window to have good, clean air. come in and out. take the steps that keep yourself safe, all of that works against the delta barion. we need to be conscious about what we do every day. and we, and our loved ones, we to take steps to prevent us from getting infected, as well as if we are infected to pass the virus others. so it's surveillance is contact tracing and isolation, it's good, early clinical care. there's no reason why people need to be dying from cobra 19. we have tools right now that can prevent people who are infected from developing severe disease with good oxygen, medical grade oxygen with dex, the met the phone for people who are severe and critical for good clinical carry, good clinical care by trained, protected and respected health workers and so there's a lot that we do what we do for the regular, the ancestral, far as koby to virus, we need to do for the delta variance, and we need to be really vigilant about what we do. it's not over unfortunately, dr. maria, i know you have a lot to do, we really appreciate you taking time off from your for your regular job to talk to the world and to have a stream many. thank you very much. now can you imagine living with a brain injury that causes dizziness ringing in your ears and headaches, but no one believes you. more than 130 people suffer from what has been called the valid syndrome. it was 1st detected, 5 years ago by staff working the u. s. government in cuba based upon the evidence at hand. i think that we can conclusively state that those events that occurred about at 2016 represent an intentional and directed attack against united states personnel. over 2 questions remain. the 1st is what was the interim that was used to incur these effects and 2nd weather. this is now part of a larger program directed not only against united states, governmental personnel, but perhaps against the united states population at large. and later, both of these questions, i think it becomes apparent that what is needed is developing a program that seeks to mitigate these effects develops into preparedness and prevent future attacks of this and to share his experience without mark polymer. a palace is a retired c. i a officer mark, i'm just going to ask a very personal question straight off. what are your injuries, tell us where your head will pay for baby or? i think it's really important that you know, i get a chance to tell my story.

let's look at the international reaction because canada, the e, u, the u. k, the u. s. they have all condemned this twitter band, i mean the, the u. s. as it has no place in a democracy. don't you need foreign investments to help build your economy? we need for an investment. we also need for those countries to be mindful of the fact that i pub, and such groups have been engaging lobby firms like mike, you re, public affairs for instance, that it's paying $85000.00 a day to churn out, such negative stuff to, to go and a full court press on us senators and, and prominent people, prominent politicians so that they would create this negative narrative about nigeria and which is far from the truth. and those were on ground. know that. and the, for instance, the british high commissioner in missouri is aware of that because now she's on the receiving end. she's being threatened by the same. i pulled my number. you can the lead of april and mr. investor, i'd like to ask you because i mean what, what is clear is that the economic situation in the country is not good. unemployme

u. s. if you've been in the u. k. within the last 14 days, but let's just say you're a british national who lives in, i don't know italy, then you can enter the u. s, but you'll need to quarantine for 10 days. if you then go back directly to the okay, from the us. so all of this causes so much confusion that most is true to travel elsewhere or not travel at all brand. and how important is traveled between the 2 nations, as far as for the travel industry, that's actually a huge market. you know, i, pre pandemic, london. europe is one of the busiest international air corridors in the world and just in 2019 nearly 4000000 birds and travel to the u. s. while 4500000 visits were made from the us to the u. k. now in 2020, during the pandemic, there was a 98 percent drop in the travel between the 2 countries. brent and we mentioned at the end of the segment that the 2 leaders from the 2 countries will be meeting on thursday at the g. 7, are they expected to talk about this? a great question. so right now, much to the frustrat

u. s. u k. relations because of course, these 2 countries are historic allies and they are to be signing a so called atlantic charter. and that is in the tradition of churchill andrews world, how they envisioned the post world order when they signed a shot, the 1st in 1941. so it's very much about these relation, these, these relations. however, what goes on really between the leaders, what sort of chemistry? i don't know one kid speculate that might be a little bit nervous because president biden had one had about 2 boys, johnson that he reminds him of, i don't know, trump and a physical and emotional clone even off the on the trump said, maybe just, you know, it's head of tension in the ad that but so both leaders, this g 7 sum it needs to be a success. so one can speculate the will make amends and will be on best behavior. so u. s. u k relations high on the agenda for today. what about buttons priority for the g 7 summit welded priorities for, for president biden, very much to reset the us a
