a rise in coated 19 cases and testing writes a low but for the most past pacific island nations have avoided a major health classes during the pandemic the crisis is an economic one with borders shot many people are out of work and truism dependent countries like that awhile too and. that's also recovering from a cycloid that devastated communities from many in the transfer of the children and everything. that's a real crisis. vaccines are being rolled out in the marshall islands and helped by the u.s. government but for the rest some experts say it could take years to back so nice boys to the people countries are initially relying on the global kodak's initiative an alliance of organizations delivering that seems to developing nations exact rollout dates for the pacific conserved but it's hard to tell begin in the coming

nicola gage al-jazeera. the united kingdom has identified its 1st cases of a corona virus variant 1st found in the brazilian city of right alex it's thought it may spread more rapidly and be more resistant to vaccines well for more on this let's speak to rory chalons warry what else do we know about this well it's very it's called the p one variant and as far as we know so far there have been 6 cases in the u.k. 3 detected in scotland and 3 detected in england now the 3 scottish ones all arrived in aberdeen early issued in february and it's believed that they were on a flights that which went from brazil to paris then from paris to london and london to aberdeen all of those cases self isolated the 3 english cases 2

of them are for the same family same household at least in south gloucestershire the the 3rd case is perhaps the most worrying of them all because they haven't been able to trace that person yes they didn't fill out fully their test registration card and so presumably they don't know yet that they tested positive so the author of these health authorities in england there are asking anyone who took a test on the total 13th of february who didn't fill in their test results and contact details to get in touch with them as soon as possible they are also. basically trying to trace and test anyone who was on a flight from zurich to london on friday the 10th because that was where most of these english cases were detected from and rory just last week the prime minister boris johnson outlined a pretty detailed road map to the lifting of the national lockdown that england at

least is still under could this the rail that road map. at the moment the signs are that it was i think the the authorities the health authorities are saying that from what they can detect the risk to the public from this is low but because they are concerned that this virus variant of of the virus can be transmitted more easily and might be more says more immune to. the vaccines more resistant to the vaccines that's the concern of the about this variant so they are doing more testing around the areas where this variances has been detected. but they essentially saying that you know that these new variants you can tweak the vaccines to adapt to them to to beef to be fitted to the new variants that come along and also that essentially all

coded 90 variants are transmitted in the same way so as long as you are doing the precautions that people should be doing anyway then this isn't going to have too much more of a an impact on things but of course you know we saw back in september when the the detector that they detected the strain the virus in kent that was much more transmissible than the earlier one that went on to spread around the u.k. very fast is now going around the world it is indeed rory chalons of the latest there from sussex in southern england warry thank you it's going to the us now it's the final day of the conservative political action conference and the star attraction at the gathering of american right wingers is the former president donald trump it will be his 1st major appearance since he left the presidency and as john hendren reports now from orlando he's expected to make a pitch for a bitterly divided republican party to unite behind him. so thank you feedback

thank you for being here this is not the republican party that party is it war with itself one part the moderates are hoping to move into a post trump era the conservative political action conference is home to the other half proudly pro trump activists and would you vote for president if you're in a heartbeat most people look at president obama and they think i don't like the way he looks i don't like the way he sounds they don't look past that they don't look at the policies and i follow him based on policy moderates need not apply not here former vice president mike pence senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and congresswoman liz cheney all moderates who have disappointed trump i know you think you can turn to the stars of c pac or trump stalwarts like former secretary of state mike pump aoe a potential 2024 presidential contender who sounds like he's running against president joe biden already in the last few months we've been called clowns and

deplorable z. and ignorant rednecks. we call the evil resistance the new york times think i'm the worst secretary of state of all time but i'm proud of our fight and i'm proud of our accomplishments and that we have truly offended the status quo. and then there is house republican leader kevin mccarthy who's made no secret where his allegiance lies in the party's divide it was forgotten man and woman but donald trump listened to the voice that no one else would listen to and we're never going to forget that people those people and that's what we're focused on trump memorably announced his long shot bid for the presidency at the end of an escalator donald trump speech to see packed his 1st major address since leaving the white house is his most into paid since he took that escalator ride into history outside of c. pack the former president's visit his drawn both supporters. are and detractors.

but inside c pac there's little doubt who the attendees favor for the presidency in 2024 john hendren al jazeera orlando. astronauts on board the international space station have ventured outside on a space walk masses kate rubin's and victor glover left the station to install support brackets for 6 new solar panels they're going to give the space station 30 percent more power which nasa says is essential to support more astronauts and the experiments on board. now remind you of the top stories on al-jazeera 18 people have been killed in the bloodiest day of protests in myanmar the u.n. human rights office says at least 30 people were injured and nearly 100 detained at
