Disproportionate with violence against protesters. And hong kong newspaper publisher in beijing critic jimi lie is released on bail after his arrest under a controversial security lol. With grief rage and vows for justice people in beirut of marks one week since a catastrophic explosion shattered that city crowds gathered to near the lebanese Capital Support the site of the blast to hold a vigil. Survivors held a moment of silence for the more than 200. 00 People Killed and read the victims names allowed people also walked through some of beiruts worst hit neighborhoods marching towards the parliament a blast injured thousands of people and left hundreds of thousands homeless. Well anger has spilled out onto the streets as clashes between protesters and Security Forces continue for a 2nd day demonstrators have set fires and holed stones at parliament now a report suggests lebanons leaders had been warned just last month about the explosive materials told to beirut port au lets go live now to aljazeera zaina holder whos of course been following this story in the capital beirut and we have seen a great deal of anger in recent days and of course that is that feeling is still very much that it was tempered today by a more somber atmosphere as well. Yes an emotional ceremony people gathered close to beirut towards these sites of that blast that the damaged and destroyed many neighborhoods in beirut and changed the lives of so many people the Health Ministry updating the death toll saying 171 people were killed and that 30 to 40 people remain missing Search Operations continue at beirut poor but you know the hope of finding survivors or is little hope of finding any survivors this blast destroyed 70000 homes made 300000 people displaced so people are angry it was an emotional ceremony but at the same time they were demanding justice accountability they said enough is enough that we dont want to bury our dead before burying the political elite their message is the resignation of the government the government resigned on monday is just not enough the traditional Political Parties that have been governing this country for decades they should leave office they should be toppled they should be replaced by a new leadership but the people there were under no illusion that theyre up against a lot of challenges. First of all not many really were in the streets a lot of people are quite are still supporters of those in power but people showed resilience and like you mentioned earlier a lot of emotion you just ask anybody everybody has a story to say stories of survival stories of tragedy people will tell you that we will not forget this moment for the rest of our lives. And of course as these reports continue to come through about the government having knowledge of this stockpile being at the warehouse at the ports its just raising more and more questions about whether such a government can be trusted to investigate what has taken place when so far they have rejected an International Independent inquiry into what took place. Yes the government has now handed the file to the judiciary but one of the main demands of the antigovernment protest movement is that there is the need for an independent judiciary at the moment judges are appointed by politicians which means they are loyal to the Political Parties and not to the state so theres little faith in the judiciary theres little faith in politicians who have knowledge themselves that they knew that thousands of tons of Ammonium Nitrate was stored at a warehouse in beirut ports ports located in the middle of a densely populated city the president himself saying that the report reached his desk and hes saying its not my responsibility im not in charge of the ports and that i spoke to the officials at the higher defense counsel and told them to do something about it but people believe that he is the president but hes also the head of the armed forces the commander in chief he should have done something about it its not just the president other officials were aware and thats why people have been demanding an independent investigation they believe thats the only way to know the truth and that there will be no cover up but the message from the authorities has been clear from day one that we will be investigating this case and they are promising what theyre saying a transparent investigation all right thank you very much with all the latest from they would say no farther. It took 6 months for the corona virus to infect 10000000 people after it was 1st detected in china last year its now taken just a little over 6 weeks to double that number will than 20000000 cases have been recorded around the world more than half of those infections are in just 4 countries the u. S. Brazil india and russia the global death toll has crossed 7 and 737000 the race to find a vaccine is very much on now russia is saying that its the 1st in the country in the world to develop that vaccine after less than 2 months of human trials but there are concerns that moscow might be pushing National Pride ahead of science and safety charlie agita reports. Its a race Everyone Wants to win but rushing it could prove fatal president putin says russia has approved a vaccine against covert 19 despite not completing crucial phase 3 Clinical Trials next week im using to sue and you know today in the morning hes the 1st vaccine against the new corona virus infection was registered although i know it works they effectively form stable immunity and i repeat it has gone through all the necessary checks dubbed sputnik 5 after the 1st satellite in space the vaccine has only been tested on 138 people one of them putins daughter based on a proven vaccine against add in a virus the common cold this vaccine allegedly gives immunity against 1000. 00 for 2 years but the results of the nima 2 trials have yet to be made public. Coronavirus has ripped through russia it has the 4th highest number of cases in the world the Health Ministry says doctors and teachers will receive the 1st doses before a Mass Vaccination Program starts in january 20 countries have rushed to preorder it red 1000000000 doses according to moscow but the World Health Organization says the vaccine has not got the best and of approval yet we are in a close contact with the russian how her car keys discussions are going to respect a possible government truck requalification of democracy yeah prequalification of money maxine. All right. And the Scientific Community say the speed of development and lack of transparency is causing them concern we have no idea whether even the claims that are being made about the safety and the immune response of this virus are true or not i hope theyre true you know once there is a safe and effective vaccine personally i dont care where it comes from we need to Work Together to get this to everybody around the world one of the things that i worry about is that you know this is really more about you know sort of geopolitics and being able to claim victory it may put pressure on other countries to cut corners on safety and effectiveness as well and that could put us all in danger. Until the w. H. O. Give the vaccine the green light this is not a race russia can claim to have one child there when mexico saying it will conduct 3 late stage Clinical Trials for corona virus vaccines the countrys foreign minister says agreements have been made with johnson and johnson and 2 chinese firms can see biologics and while that biotechnology the trials could start between september and january depending on approval from mexicos food and drug agents see the World Health Organization says 25 vaccine candidates are undergoing human Clinical Trials. Meanwhile new zealand has announced its 1st Community Transmission of the virus in more than 100 days a Prime Minister just into are done as ordered oakland into lockdown after 4 new cases were confirmed at leave or 3 youre asked to stay at home in your bubble other than for essential movements such as going to the supermarket or local recreation if you are in oakland you must work from harm unless you are an essential Service Worker all schools in childcare facilities in oakland are closed as of tomorrow morning except for the children of essential Service Workers and those who are who are involved will remember that it leave all 3 we allow you to x. East schools and do a childhood for a level 3 for a cinch will suit us we use only or public facilities 3 strong same businesses must close by midday to morrow it comes as a retirement village in christchurch has gone into lockdown after some residents showed flu like symptoms the facility told families that 8 residents were affected swabs to test for cove and 19 have now been sent to a tree. Well new developments the World Health Organization is saying there are some worrisome spikes in the virus cases in countries that had initially controlled outbreaks countries like colombia and argentina colombia is close to reaching 400000 cases mayor of the capital ball guitars expected to announce a new lockdown in parts of the city to control the spread there are concerns about rising infections in the Dominican Republic which has more cases than all other caribbean island nations combined lets go live now to allison drum in bogota and so it would seem as though off to some initial progress in containing the pandemic were seeing a sudden spike in cases whats thought to be the cause of this. Well merriam most likely the fact that more people have been out on the streets people than need to work to eat and also the fact that while. Officially the nation nationwide quarantine remains in place there have been a growing number of exceptions that the National Government has put in place for the economy to restart so while during the 1st 3 months the situation seem to be under control weve seen the number just going up for the last couple of months and really picking up the last 2 or 3 weeks and now colombia against the law is the country with the highest number of confirmed cases anywhere in the world and whats most concerning for all these here is the fact that in the last 7 days if you look at the number of confirmed deaths for 1000000 people colombia is among the highest if not the worst affected country anywhere in the world at this at a time when most strict restrictions were supposed to and even in larger cities like here in the capital or in the 2nd city made the u. N. And thats why. They were now expecting the mayor of bogota to announce new restrictions possibly another 14 days of a Strict Lockdown in 3 sectors of the city that would affect the 3 to 4000000 people i guess the Silver Lining here though is the fact that authorities also believe were in a sort of the peak of infections and hopefully we might see these numbers going down in a couple of weeks the problem in colombia but also in all the countries in the region is that many people dont have a safety net to fall back on nor can they afford to stay out of work and thats causing and that is sparking protests isnt it. Mary my match im not hearing you anymore i was just asking you about brewing political tensions in bolivia and peru people are trying to deal with lockdown restrictions while at the same trying to trying to balance that with the the sort of economic harm that its doing. And. Oh apologies for that reporting to us there from columbus and got a sense of the situation i was saying that unfortunately the country is close to reaching 400000. 00 cases a virus it looks as though after a 7 and easing of restrictions that they will probably be further lock down measures in place to try and get a virus under some control but were going to bring you much more on the program after a quick break a coverage of coronavirus and no foreign content without permission and in that tanzania is government cracks down on what journalists can report.
