But they have come back. In south East Asia, covid vaccinations stall as governments struggle to find a way out of the crisis. And italys footballers reach the final of the euros, after beating spain in a dramatic penalty shootout. Hello and welcome to audiences in the uk and around the world. 51 shootings over a single weekend in new York State alone have prompted the governor, andrew cuomo, to declare a � Disaster Emergency�. New york is the first state to take that step, which allows for extra funding to bolster Police Presence in the worst hit cities, and to establish a variety of other programmes in poorer parts of the state. There has been a surge in Gun Violence across the us in the last year. Governor cuomo explained his decision at a news conference. It is so bad that when you look at the recent numbers, more people are dying of Gun Violence than of covid. It is an emergency. And i want the people of the state to understand that and i want them to respond to the emergency for the way it is. So, today, Iam Issuing Emergency for the way it is. So, today, i am issuing the first in the nation Disaster Emergency on Gun Violence. The announcement comes as New York and many other parts of the united states have seen a big rise in Gun Violence. Governor cuomo said more than 50 people had died in shooting incidents in New York over the fourth Ofjuly Weekend alone. Statistics from the Gun Violence archive found at least 150 people across the us were killed by Gun Violence in more than 400 shootings, prompting concerns 2021 is on a trajectory to beat 2020� S Record which was the worst in decades. 14 mass shootings occurred over the bank holiday, that� s when four or more people excluding the shorter are shot or killed, that� s more than any other weekend this year. Well, Jackie Rowe Adams is President And Founder of the campaign against Gun Violence Group Harlem mothers save, which stands for stop another violent end.

The Word And Message that needs to be told and heard by so many, because what i took i was so proud to be there, first of all. I am so proud of governor cuomo. And the message i took from it is enough is enough, and i have been saying it for a long time. We are tired of losing our loved ones. As you know, i lost two kids to Gun Violence and a run an organisation with mothers and fathers who have had a loss. We started with nine and we now have more than 50. To hear this today was like hope, we have hope. 0urtests Today was like hope, we have hope. 0ur tests stuck out. And i say our because we are sick and tired of losing people. Absolutely. I understand that. No one could speak more clearly about this than someone like yourself and your own experience. But where does the pride come . Where does the sense that this is the beginning of something you come from . There is some money to spend on resources, but it is a drop in the bucket . It� s spend on resources, but it is a drop in the bucket . Drop in the bucket . Its a drop in a Bucket Drop in the bucket . Its a drop in a Bucket But Drop in the bucket . Its a drop in a Bucket But Nobody drop in the bucket . Its a drop in a Bucket But Nobody was. In a Bucket But Nobody was talking about it. Everybody was talking about it. Everybody was talking about it. Everybody was talking about police killing us, nobody was talking about us shooting us. And this is where something different is happening, because our organisation, and i� m excited because i have been fighting this a long time. I have been fighting this a long time about gun trafficking. So many guns, i have been seen, so many guns come into this community, and nobody is paying attention. Its nobody is paying attention. It� s like somebody took a truck and dropped all the guns in The Street and said, hey, take a gun. And we here at harlem mothers save have 3000 signatures against this legislation cold Gun Kingpin Legislation cold Gun Kingpin Legislation to stop these illegal guns from coming in and from the south, i 95. Nobody was talking about this but i have been fighting it a long time. The difference is, money or not, Somebody Powerful is really speaking loudly. It or not, Somebody Powerful is really speaking loudly. Really speaking loudly. It has been picked really speaking loudly. It has been picked up. Really speaking loudly. It has been picked up. It really speaking loudly. It has been picked up. It has really speaking loudly. It has been picked up. It has beenl been picked up. It has been picked up as an important political issue. Can i ask you, jackie, some of the money available is also to go to the sort of people who would then take some of the heat away from the police in terms of dealing with difficult situations where perhaps you do not need the police their market of. Ijust wonder, do you have any sense of conflict between those who have called a lot over the last yearfor have called a lot over the last year for the funding of the police, given the tensions around George Floyd and the black Lives Matter Movement and this desire to put more money in the direction of the police tell them serve communities that are . Over the last year for defunding the police. Defunding the police would be a shame. If something happened, the first person you call is the first person you call is the police. And defunding the police with all the crime that is out there, that would be a real disaster. With this drop in the bucket, a drop in a bucket that you are talking about, you could take that money and train some of these police better. You talk about young people and helping them, train the explorers, put the money into the explorer programme. But absolutely do not defund the police. That is a critical Piece Rate there. fix, a critical Piece Rate there. A very clear message. Thank you forjoining me, Jackie Rowe Adams.

Many parts of south East Asia coped well when covid first hit, in spite of limited resources. More than a Year And Half into the pandemic and several lockdowns later, goodwill among the people is wearing thin. Vaccination programmes have stalled and several countries are struggling to cope. In indonesia, the government has appealed for international help to secure supplies of oxygen, a day after recording its highest numbers of daily covid infections and deaths. 0ur south East Asia correspondent Jonathan Head reports. AS Other businesses flounder, it� s a sign of the dismal times we live in that this one is thriving. This Jakartan Coffin Maker says he� s making three times as many these days after the new outbreak of the delta covid variant. Indonesians may have thought last year was bad enough. This year, though, is much worse covid deaths running at more than 500 a day. Oxygen is in critically short supply. People have to fill up their own cylinders to ensur that hospitalised Family Members get it. Anwar says his best efforts were not enough. His sister died at this hospital on monday morning. Here in thailand, these shuttered bars tell the story of how far the government was willing to sacrifice the all important Tourist Industry to keep covid out which, last year, it did very successfully. This year, though, despite all of this economic pain, infections have surged so fast, they� ve overwhelmed the hospitals and completely outstripped the government� s faltering vaccination programme. This hotel cleaner, now out of a job, was forced to camp on The Street after Testing Positive for covid, but unable to self isolate in her cramped home. An ngo helping Thai Covid victims heard of her plight and eventually found a hospital that could take her. There is growing public anger here over the government� s failure to order vaccines early enough and in sufficient qualities. After a well publicized launch last month, vaccines have run out in many areas. Ministers are also accused of failing to prioritise the elderly, of giving over optimistic predictions, and of not imposing tougher measures quickly enough to curb the new outbreaks. But after a year and a half, many businesses here just can� t survive more lockdowns. This Restaurant Owner is in despair after the government banned on Site Dining last month with no warning. Translation The Voice of little people like me never gets heard at the top. But if we close down, then what will i do . Will i have to give up everything i� ve built and lay off all my staff . Malaysia is well ahead of both of its neighbours in vaccinating its population. The government believes it can inoculate 80 of them by The End of the year. Yet even here in a much wealthier society, that� s a long stretch of continued lockdowns and Travel Restrictions to endure. Without access to more vaccines, governments across this region have run out of answers to give their increasingly frustrated people. Jonathan head, Bbc News, bangkok.

The rain was down on the roof. You can reach me on the roof. You can reach me on twitter bbcdavideades, always good to hear from you and don� t forget the Bbc News website. See you soon. Hello there. We� ve seen yet more rain across many parts of the country in the past 2a hours. And the reason it� s been so wet, really, for so long is because of the position of the jet stream, that� s the upper level winds. And as it� S Diving to the south of the uk, with that sort of pattern, you end up with low pressure sitting close to the uk. And it� s around that low pressure that we see these areas of cloud rotating, keeping some wet weather going into the night and into wednesday, as well. If we look at the story over the next few days, we find some sunshine, yes, but there� s still the threat of some showers which may be heavy, as well. And certainly on tuesday, there was lots of rain at wimbledon. It looks a lot drier though for wednesday can� t rule out 1 2 showers, mind you, and temperatures will be 20 21 celsius. We start the day pretty cloudy, actually, there may well be some further rain around. As It Brightens Up, we get some sunshine which triggers more showers, particularly across england and wales, and some of those could be heavy and thundery. A warmer day, though, than it was on tuesday for Eastern Scotland and the northeast of england. And for many parts of the country, temperatures are a little bit higher on wednesday. A few showers in the london area, those will tend to fade away during the evening, and it� ll probably be dry at wembley for Kick Off with Ideal Temperatures for playing football. As we move into thursday, many places starting dry, some sunshine breaking through. Again, we� ll see some showers developing too. These will be a little more hit and miss, but It Brightens Up in Eastern Scotland, we could get some heavy showers here. The rest of scotland and Northern Ireland looks more cloudy and not as warm, perhaps, but with the sunshine in england and wales, it should feel a bit warmer with Light Winds on thursday. We� ve got slightly higher pressure to end the week the fly in the ointment is this little Weather Front here that keeps more cloud across Northern Ireland, eventually increasing the cloud across wales and the southwest, bringing some rain later on in the day. Ahead of it, some sunshine coming through, still the chance of some showers. These are most likely in Eastern Scotland and across the eastern side of england. But many places on friday will have a dry day. And those temperatures sitting at 22 23 celsius. Now i don� t think those numbers will change a great deal into the weekend. There will still be some sunshine around, but we still have this threat of some showers and the greater risk of showers is likely to be on sunday. This is Bbc News. Iam I Am David Iam David eades.
