we're opening up the possibility for instability for no. money bugs on al jazeera. al-jazeera. and. this is al-jazeera. hello again i'm peter toby you're watching the news hour live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. israel vows to continue the wave of airstrikes on gaza as the u.n.

devastating consequences for both sides if they do not to deescalate the situation the u.n. security council has been hosting a meeting to discuss the ongoing crisis it comes on the 7th straight day of israel's bombardment of the gaza strip airstrikes overnight destroyed at least 3 buildings and killed more than 40 people rescue crews spent most of sunday searching through the rubble but despite calls for an end to the violence israel says it will continue its wave of airstrikes we also heard from both representatives for the palestinians and israel they blamed each other for the escalation israel is killing palestinians in gaza one family at the time israel is trying to uproot palestinians from euro zone and it will continue its wave of airstrikes we also heard from both representatives for the palestinians and israel they blamed each other for the escalation israel is killing palestinians in

gaza one family at the time israel is trying to uproot palestinians from tourism an expanding family is one home one neighborhood at a time israel is pretty kewl tingle our people committing war crimes and crimes against humanity some may not want to use these words war crimes and crimes against humanity but they're in no they are true this is not the 1st time that hamas has indiscriminately fire deadly missiles that israeli civilians while hiding behind a list kenyans to be yes but this time it's different it was completely premeditated but by hamas in order to gain political power it was all a part of their vicious plan while come out thinks the destruction of the state of

israel it's also vying to big big power in the west bank and to replace the palestinian authority. christensen is following the special session she joins us live from the u.n. headquarters building in new york so clearly kristen the starting point for that conversation today with those comments from mr turkish talking about how if this conflict carries on it could engulf a wider region. absolutely . meeting took place virtually all but i am standing outside of the security council chamber in the stakeout area for the media where we are expecting to hear more from the chinese ambassador who holds the presidency of the security council as well as ambassadors from norway in tunisia who have been working together in the

attempt to get the security council to agree to a statement but we heard earlier from not only security council members but as we just heard from israel and palestinian representatives we heard israel attempting to put the focus on the most recent violence the rocket attacks coming out of gaza targeting israeli civilians he accused the palestinians of stockpiling weapons at holy sites and essentially denied that victim palestinians from homes in east jerusalem was reason enough to escalate the situation on the ground there said that israel does what it can to protect civilians but it had to protect its people as well the focus for the palestinians has been on the underlying issues that led to this point and led to this most recent escalation of violence from a very. in east jerusalem that were hanging over the heads of families there to the

lack of a peace process a lack of a way forward for palestinians he said that what the israelis. referred to as self-defense for palestinians is referred to as terrorism and with all that is the backdrop you have you on officials like the secretary general saying we really just need to stop the violence right now all together and that has to be the priority so right now looks like we are about to hear from those ambassadors i'll have to leave it here and come back to you when they're done speaking ok christine thanks very much. gaza's ministry of health told al jazeera that roads leading to the hospitals have been bombed and medical services are being inundated despite global calls for deescalation israel says its military will continue to target gaza laura but money has more on the aftermath of those overnight airstrikes. calling for survivors in

a room flattened by rocket fire. and a sign of life a man calls back in july that. this residential building was struck by israeli rockets in gaza city. is a lawyer for our team talk to him and we'll get him out in a minute we hope that his sister's zainab is alive as well and we can get her out to others didn't survive. if delicate work the rescue team and the board pulling survivors out with their hands ensuring there are no people alive the 4 they inch forward with an excavator the last car stuck to the model the number of people under the rubble is still unknown as we heard from the families and the neighbors it's a large number. from a number of people buried under the rubble it's clear they didn't have enough warning to flee before the residential buildings were destroyed. israeli rockets

and artillery fire in the gaza strip have been the heaviest since the bombardment began a week ago $21.00 members of the same family were killed in one explosion what happened be targeted hours continuous mom boardman launched on one specific neighborhood as it happened and i witnessed 3 whole neighborhoods where bombs were continuous hours and they did not only bomb both residential buildings and people innocent civilians they targeted the roads through this neighborhood. a teacher and mother tell just sara that her children are too scared to close their eyes at night when the bombing is at its heaviest. they're not coping actually they are terrified on the time they're just listening carefully if it's going to be any wanting things they just afraid to close their eyes that the night they don't want to sleep i struggle every single night to put them in their beds it want to go to sleep

because they know once they close their eyes something bad was. during the bombing many families being forced to retrieve the bodies of their loved ones from the snake. and the father devastated by the loss of this child who never got a chance to grow up. nora passionately al-jazeera. ok let's go back to that conversation taking place at the u.n. security council in new york state is going on as we speak the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. today calling for an end to the violence prolonging this current cycle of violence will only make these challenges more complex and difficult to stop and will only a negotiated 2 state solution further out of our reach so the current cycle of violence must end it is critical all parties richard to working in good faith toward the vision of israel and palestinian state living side by side in peace.

well. in part west bank she says palestinians have little interest in the u.s. . we've seen less protests on sunday than the ones we've been seeing over the past few days in different cities in the occupied west bank but palestinians are still laying their loved ones to rest there are 4 funerals that took place in different cities in the occupied west bank and the palestinian health ministry says that 20 palestinians were killed by israeli forces fire since the start of the latest round of us collation on monday last monday and $3000.00 palestinians according to the same source were injured by israeli forces fire if you also palestinians in the street they would tell you that they don't care to pay attention to the united nations security council meeting they point out that this body has released even resolutions that werent implemented the latest of which being the one related to

resolution related to the illegal israeli settlements and its their expansion on palestinian lands and that hasn't been implemented on the contrary palestinians now are saying that they're concerned that more of the attacks are going to be conducted by israeli settlers saying that there is a sense of impunity when it comes to these subtler attacks on the official level we've spoken to a palestinian official who's close to posting in president mahmoud abbas who says that the palestinian authority is still invested in the diplomatic approach of solving and deescalation he the official we've spoken to pointed out to the call that has happened between the palestinian president and the u.s. president president and he said it's important it's a purse to call that happened between the 2 leaders and he says that the palestinian authority is still interested in the escalation despite its differences with hamas he says that the latest round of a skill ation has put the palestinian issue back on the american agenda and that he

expects the u.s. in void the ahmed was been to tel aviv a couple of days ago to make his way to. the u.n. . tarion assistance to a dawes in-depth perrett neat we must act to bring the middle east peace process back to the right track. implement relevant united nations resolutions and. reconfirm more support to the 2 state solution it's obvious without a chast settlement of the palestinian question there will be no true peace in public stand israel that's well as in the wider middle

east region and for. security council president for demands of may try and i will continue to push this occurred a council to take prompt actions and to speak. as more now has pointed out a few minutes early we must take actions and in the current crises and to do especially with the new political dialogue and china will continue to work closely with now we tunisia and other members to seek for the adoption of a statement at the security council and we have announced about that and we will continue to work closely with all the security council members we sincerely hope doubt all members. are efforts for that i think you.

the line myself to the joint statement made on behalf of china tunisia and norway and made by an ambassador muna p.r. of norway and they would like to read a few words about our in my national capacity this open meeting of today comes after 2 clues of consultations which where head this week at the request of china norway and tunisia and with the support of a large number of council members to discuss the ongoing dangerous escalation after 2 asian in the occupied palestinian territory which is facing the most intense

cycle of hostilities in years and our minister of foreign affairs has integrated tunisia's concern and position about this is good and it's steadfast position towards the just palestinian codes as you are aware intense efforts have been undertaken not to have the constant speechless toward the unfolding crisis we continued working along with other council members to convene this open meeting today to allow council members to speak one loud voice that must be heard and to urge an immediate ending of the ongoing escalation and hostilities the occupying power assumes the responsibility of this collation and the deterioration of the situation in the occupied palestinian territories. and the big losses of civilian lives and huge destruction of infrastructures its oppressive policies

aggression against palestinians in east jerusalem and on other parts of applied by the student to retirees its continuing violations of 40 sites and one of the sheriff and palestinian rights and international humanitarian law could pide by the student to retirees its continuing violations of 40 sites and one of machete and palestinian rights and international humanitarian law and its plans of defacto an extension and settlement evictions and force the displacement and the of the main causes of instability in the region and the long suffering of the palestinians we continue to strongly believe that the council cannot remain silent white civilians including children and entire families are being killed houses being destroyed and life is being taken. non-stop that strikes and steady

stream of environments in densely populated gaza and violence across palestinian occupied territory have resulted in hundreds of casualties among them more than 50 children and if you would destruction and damage of vital infrastructure these are flagged and violations of international monetary and law and they must be stopped that now tunisia believes that hostilities must stop and cross border to the beach be seated. occupied palestinian territory must be open to put allow much needed humanitarian and medical assistance to an extremely vulnerable population which was before this collision already and the many tarion situation because of the blockade and other oppressive measures. but let's not forget that the council is not supposed to address only the symptoms and consequences of the crisis

but also its root causes in this connection occupation is the major cause of all what is happening of tragic development and the long suffering of palestinians without ending occupations and achieving a just comprehensive and lasting settlement of the palestinian cause peace security and stability can never be restored in the region you need to reiterate its position that it is the responsibility of the international community and the security council to change this and break the stalemate of the peace process. the question of palestine remains the longest standing item on the un adds and that is not part to due to the implementation of un resolution we urge the international community to act now he only responsibly and firmly to bring an end to this great situation to push forward the resumption of peace talks which we believe are out of

the only viable means to achieve the just comprehensive and lasting peace that is that we restore stability and peace in the region i think you. ok. the chinese ambassador and legion is in ambassador not taking any questions there that is what they call at the united nations in new york a stakeout it is you've seen that before of course you have down the years what usually happens is when the members meet in normal times not in covert times they meet face to face inside the chamber through those big wooden double doors to the right of that shot off to the right of where you can see all the relevant flags there about joining the podium where the chinese ambassador and the. there were basically completely on the same page i think we could detect there safe to say

a slightly stronger message from the chin is he an ambassador compared to his other contributing delegates who we carried in our last hour as we went through hearing from the united states we heard from the israeli ambassador we heard from the palestinian representatives as well the united states basically reiterating what joe biden has said the u.s. president over the past what 56 hours now although maybe the u.s. ambassador went a little bit further just a top in our last hour as we went through hearing from the united states we heard from the israeli ambassador we heard from the palestinian representatives as well the united states basically reiterating what. joe biden has said the u.s. president over the past what 56 hours now although may be the u.s. ambassador went a little bit further just a touch a smidge further than the u.s. president had gone but the church mizzy an ambassador there basically saying we must not forget this is about the ongoing occupation of gaza let's talk tomorrow on

bashar al jazeera senior political analyst ma and what's your reading of everything that we're hearing coming out of the u.n. . well there certainly some will on the part of some members or certainly we haven't heard. the kind of consensus that we all wanted to hear from the united nations in the end of the day the united nations is strong as the unity over its members and certainly that's the case for this new u.n. security council unless they move ahead we're going to syria statement if not. a serious who is illusion. and i'm not even saying under chapter 7 but certainly some sort of stronger solution i don't see which going to be affected in ending the escalation and coming to a resolution of this question. perhaps there is a behind the scenes. talks at this point in time because i don't think the u.n.

security council wants to look this week. as it traces this very important question that the us threats the peace and security in the region and elsewhere so what we've been hearing really comes down to a word salad that's not going to go any place no one seems to want to step forward take what we've been hearing today from the u.n. is this really important question that the us threats the peace and security in the region and elsewhere so what we've been hearing really comes down to. a word salad that's not going to go anyplace no one seems to want to step forward take what we've been hearing today from the u.n. and also from capital cities around the world let's not forget other countries are wading into this debate as well and make that coalesce around an input or a mentor him where somebody talks to israel talks to hamas and says no you've gone

too far enough is enough stop it now. yes absolutely and i think in these sorts of situations it's the united states needs to be proactive and once again the united states is expressing certain wishes about certain solution and the escalation but not the kind of language that is needed to end the current war in gaza because in the end of the day. there's lots of talk about causes which is important of course and endgame which is a 2 state solution which is also important but how do you get from the root causes to the 2 state solution get passing this current problem resolving this current escalation that we haven't heard a clear and effective language be something with

a certain. i would say for force ability meaning how do you actually get the 2 parties to accept a cease fire and move beyond that there were something more permanent it is unfortunate when it comes to israel there's always a but the residents here in the part of the united states see objection and certain lack of teeth on the part of the european community notably france and the u.k. but as i said there is some good talk about the end game but no or real serious talk about how to get there to get the feeling there from the those delegates that we've been watching at the u.n. and when we hear from the british prime minister the british foreign secretary the french president we did get a quote on line but 2 days ago we were talking about it on this program from angela merkel the german chancellor that all those people it's almost as if one gets the sensuality that they just want to so when the those delegates that we've been

watching at the u.n. and when we hear from the british prime minister the british foreign secretary the french president we did get. a quote on line 2 days ago we were talking about it on this program from angela merkel the german chancellor that all those people it's almost as if one gets the sensuality that they just want to circum navigate the current crisis so they can get back to the conversation that's kind of in their comfort zone talking about let's give let's get a peaceful situation on the go and solve the quotes palestinian issue. absolutely and this is this is the part where you would expect the u.n. security council to act rather forcefully because this is where as the security is taking place because we can always talk about mufti words about peace and prosperity and this and that state and software but it is this very specific

escalation that's leading to. death and destruction and that could have regional and international ramifications that needs to be addressed so while they're addressing it in the in the most. implicit the ways they're not really that can get heads on and that's what is needed now that you know you get the sense that they are dancing around the issue i get the feeling of each and every one of them sang their national anthem it would be just as convenient there it would be just as a factor because in the end of the day look you know international press is not an easy thing but in the weeks. you know the week party like the palestinians best best salvation is international law and it is the u.n. security council. that is the guardian of international law so how could the world all over be irrespective of international law and know the u.n. security council when it's not able to withhold its own responsibility and

that is over international law because then because again this is an internal state conflict this is a question of israel and its popular part that authorities this is not an internal issue to israel itself and hence there is a real major or important role for the u.n. security council to play they need to stand up and carry on with their responsibility as guardians of international law and international security but we haven't heard that today i mean i'm still hold fall that they would behind the scene carry on with a conversation that norway to new zealand china will dash forward in order to get some sort of a consensus around some sort of a statement leading to some sort of resolution if they don't of course we're going to see more and more of the serious coalition on the ground no one thank you mo and

bashar the senior analyst here at al-jazeera well the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has taken his message directly to the people of america speaking on american t.v. today he said hamas does not want peace they're doing everything in their power to turn it into a fortified target camp in order to destroy israel and they openly say their goal is to destroy israel they're not interested in any kind of any kind of coexistence of any kind over the kind of peace that for peace treaties that i've lived with arab countries are changing the middle east they're trying everything in their power to avoid the path to peace and reconciliation so i think any any objective observer understands of hamas is out to destroy the state of israel and they're not they're not a partner. of course we are not here now to say we're taking our eye at all of the events in on the ground and in the air over gaza al jazeera suff what is there for us so what was the latest information you have for us. well

people. really are following all these beatings and some of them even when they were listening because they had a chat with some people here in gaza and i have been receiving phone calls and we have been discussing these meetings in the united nations and everywhere and some told me or ask me to speak in arabic meaning that what should i understand is that as going to be a ceasefire or not underground people hear that they measure the indication of the ceasefire by the strength of the fire of the israeli fire that they carry out from time to time and the last 2 hours there were the strength of the fire is list done earlier today let's say on also the palestinian faction group or fighting groups they have fired over there but use the student of their fire also 'd towards israel

but there's no official indication of breaching a ceasefire or 'd of official columns still people are afraid and scared they are all in doors chasing and following every single piece of news coming out from everywhere. fully hoped someone would come out and say they have reached a cease fire they all know that egypt united nations and america are still exerting a force but still they measured the ceasefire or the calmness by the student of the fire as i said we could have some explosions but still the student of the fire is listed on earlier today on the other hand the minister of health said. 197 people killed in the 7 days of escalation including 85 children 42 of the casualties from the last night

exploded. when it was the most intense of israeli raid on a residential area. so thank you very much. correspondent there in gaza. well 6 israeli police officers were injured today after a car ran into a checkpoint in occupied east jerusalem in fact happened in the neighborhood where israel is a 10000 to forcibly expel for palestinian families who live there correspondent gary forsett joins us live here on the news from occupied east jerusalem in that shaikh gerard neighborhood very welcome back to the news i guess this is a reminder that that shake general area was that tinder dry very tense environment going back several weeks now. yes indeed it was one of the real fueling factors in the tension that we saw for so many weeks that erupted in jerusalem and then spread to what we've just been hearing about and what

the mood been witnessing for the last few days what we witnessed witnessing in the last couple of minutes i just while you were hearing from stuff what was another scuffle with a palestinian man and israeli security forces here you can see they were i think they're just down there he was they were taken him away near to where this checkpoint is you may also be able to see that the checkpoint has now been reinforced with large concrete blocks again just in the last few minutes that's because of what took place here this afternoon a car driven at speed into this israeli security forces checkpoint at the top of the road where those 4 families live where these protests have been taking place 2 witnesses who were here at the time of told us that the driver appeared to shout a lot of akbar god is great as he approached 6 israeli security force members were injured we're told 2 of them moderately although again witnesses said that it was looking a lot more serious than that at the time and then police surrounded the vehicle

they shot him while he was inside the car this is a palestinian man from occupied east jerusalem so the violence that has spread so far from here has also been returning here this afternoon. and harry if you don't update for us on the other aspects of the story that you were telling us a little earlier that synagogue bleachers chairs seating standing room only collapse because we think we think we've got a death toll there now. yes the there are reportedly 2 deaths in this incidence it was in a synagogue in the occupied west bank in an illegal settlement of give out zev we're told there were 600 ultra-orthodox worshippers who were on this very steeply raked stand and this is something that you see very often in these synagogues usually young men on these very steeply rate stands bouncing up and down in sort of joyous celebration in time with each other and it seemed that the stress of that

and also reports that core building work that had been in notified earlier may have contributed but a large portion of that stand simply disappeared from view and more than 100 we're told have been injured 2 people have been killed and this is on the heels this is on the outside on the eve of a major jewish religious festival this is within a month of a previous religious festival up in northern israel mark meron where there was a stampede again fatalities there too so there's a wider discussion an argument about the ability the will or lack thereof of both those things the israeli government the state to really intervene into what has in some ways become an autonomy of the docs worship and ritual and indeed daily life which is resistant to intervention from the secular state and again those questions will be asked in terms of the policing the regulations the numbers and the deaths that we've now seen perry thank you very much are

a force of their reporting live from chick. well the diplomacy at the u.n. has gone on of course for several hours e.u. foreign ministers are also shared tool to meet this coming week to try and end the palestine. israel conflict is the coeditor of judge alito that's an independent magazine produced by the arab studies institute he joins us now from the hague rabbani welcome to the news what do you think will come out of this meeting of e.u. foreign ministers. effectively nothing you know the united states always makes an effort to ensure that israel is not subject to excessive scrutiny let alone accountability for its actions and as you know the united states has worked feverish only during the past week or so to repeatedly delay the convening of this meeting and negotiations now are apparently ongoing about

a rather vacuous presidential statement calling for a deescalation and mutual restraint and these usual. terms and i think the united states will quite effectively prevent the security council which has had this issue on its agenda since the 1940 s. from taking meaningful action to address it with. having said that would like to say that it struck me that the u.s. ambassador to the security council refrained from making the usual full throated extremely boulder defense of israel and its conduct and seemed to refrain also from the usual shrill denunciations and condemnations of the ball simians which suggests to me that the biden administration needs this latest crisis manufacture

and barring israeli government backing me in the head. as far as the conflict is concerned many analysts that we've been talking to over the past 7 days is saying this conflict this quote war is unique even compared to the last 3 conflicts in the past 3 and a bit years between israel and gaza israel and hamas but there's another unique there's another u.s.p. isn't that it's the low energy response it's the the sending of an envoy and. the world reaction was well who is people having to google search for the name the low energy response from the french from the germans from the british from the americans high energy response from the chinese from the chin is ian's so there's a kind of a a we had flip going on there can you explain that for us. well i think people fewer of those governments at least that you mentioned feel that israel should be

given the room to achieve its objectives whatever those may be and only once they become a 100 shiva will will they step in and to try to put an end to this you know for them palestinians have no rights when they take up arms there are terrorists one day speak of their anti semites and one day negotiate their intransigence and i thought the palestinian foreign minister today put it quite well when he said that if under these circumstances. you choose to emphasize israel's purported right to self-defense your effectively extending it a license to kill there are calls for a cease fire they started 48 hours ago primarily from the egyptians the jordanians repeating that message as well why is nobody listening. well i think you know that the problem here is that there is for all intents and purposes

a monopoly on anything related to middle east diplomacy and my suspicion is that there is quite a lot more going on behind the scenes than than we're aware of because again i think this is not a crisis that the current us administration is keen to have it's creating growing tensions within his constituency and power base and so on we're seeing one president said opposition to israeli war crimes among democrats in the u.s. congress but i do think that they're playing by the usual playbook of trying to engage with israel privately behind the scenes and i think it won't be long before they realize that if they continue this label they're not going to achieve anything there's also of course the issue of the united states now being

very much focused on its negotiations in the direct negotiations with iran about a resumption of of the nuclear agreement and that i think also constrains the effectiveness of any measures that they may wish to discuss with the israelis but essentially what it all comes down to is that you know there's an institutional disregard for palestinian life palestinian lives are indispensable in the surface of broader agendas and broader goals and unless the palestinians find that means as they seem to be doing now throughout the story the sign to sufficiently unsubtle realities on the ground to make people pay attention to them and to take their interests into account unless they continue doing so nothing will change. we must leave at the moment rabbani many thanks for joining us from the hague thank

you. ok let's step away from the events in the middle east just for a couple of moments chileans are voting for a 2nd and final day to elect 155 delegates to rewrite the country's dictatorship iraq constitution voters are also choosing governors mayors and local councils are seen as a test of support for the government had a presidential elections in november latin america editor the c n human with more now from santiago. it's a historic election in more ways than one it's the 1st time chileans will have a say in who will write a new constitution and document that will determine the country's economic political and social roadmap. beddes and her husband believe it's no small feat if he had this will define our future that's why this day is so special

and a quarter of them in order to make the necessary changes the social changes that we've been waiting for for so long that it is chileans are also lifting mayors governors and city council members but the constitutional those is regarded as the most significant the current constitution written 40 years ago under the pinochet dictatorship is regarded by a great many as illegitimate and the source of many of chile's ills for the 1st time anywhere in the world 50 percent of delegates to a constitutional convention will be women 17 of the one $155.00 delegates will also represent choose indigenous people their existence isn't even recognized in the current constitution. and another 1st to prevent long lines because of the pandemic the election is taking place over 2 rather than one day that means these votes won't be counted until sunday the end of the 2nd day in the meantime these

bins will be taped completely covered with seals that according to electoral authorities will break of anybody tries to tamper with the votes and then there will be taken to a special security area and kept under guard by the army even so a lot of people don't trust the system this is a leader that you that's why daniel who works in front of his designated polling station is staying out there now that obama would only have a common way to vote but more of us will go tomorrow because we've seen in many countries that. when they leave the votes overnights someone changes them. while chile doesn't have a reputation for vote tampering it's a reflection of how discredited political institutions and politicians have become in this country where millions are waiting for a new constitution to prioritize the social rights of the majority rather than the privileges of a minority and lucien human joins us live from

a polling station in the chilean capital hi there how long until we have a final result. it's the polls aren't supposed to close for at least another 4 hours depending on how long the lines are but as you can see there are very few people here which rather because a lot of us we it's difficult to understand why there's been such a slow shall i say turnout although they are still another 4 hours left for people to come out but compared to the referendum that enabled the selection to take place which was widely attended by voters this one seems to have brought out a lot less people all across the board but we have been to more conservative areas politically conservative areas where the turnout has been higher and that could certainly define the outcome or it is certainly give an advantage to those conservative candidates who would want to restrict the kind of reforms that many

people had been asking for in a new constitution and how will the country change when the constitution changes. it will depend on the outcome of this election to a great degree should the for example the big question now more and more than how many people in the end will vote is what will be the composition of that constitutional convention you need 2 thirds of the vote to pass any amendment already article rather of that new constitution if the more conservative forces win at least one 3rd of the delegate seats which is what they're counting on then they will be able to modify or control the degree to the extent of the reforms people many people want to have a republican system a parliamentarian system weaken the presidency completely. some are even asking for education to be free and government funded across the

board there's a long long list of wishes the real question is what will be possible then what will that final constitution contain and then it's really too early to say at this point the cea many things they see in human they're reporting live from the chilean capital santiago. britain's health minister says the fast spreading variants of covert 19 1st identified in india is now becoming the dominant strain in parts of the u.k. vaccinations and testing have been scaled up in the northern english towns of bolton and blackburn despite the presence of the variance the number of new cases across the u.k. is steady as around 2000 per day 2 and a hole as one of the vaccination sensors in bolton. well take a look behind me you can see the response locally to news of the indian variant hundreds of people in a queue as they have been all weekend waiting to get vaccinated basically as quickly as they possibly can will swing around and show you the scene this is
