gray region of northern ethiopia. the organization accuses government troops of using a high school as a military base. part of this is obviously going to be ensuring accountability for the abuses which these communities have seen happen. as i said, there is a real fear of returning to school because forces that have abused and have destroyed the schools often around fighting beginning t gray 6 months ago. that's when the se open government, backed by its ally era trail, launched a military operation accusing the t great people's liberation front of attacking its federal military bases in the north and the stabilizing the country. the us has been a strong ally of yoke as government for years, but he's growing frustrated with the scale of to fighting and widespread reports of sexual violence. the senate foreign relations committee was told on thursday that an estimated 2000000 people that being forced to flee their homes and 5200000

2:20 am
remember the savage mob calling for the execution of mike pence, the makeshift gallows outside the capital. men with bullet proof vests and zip ties, breaking into the senate gallery and rifling through your desks. police officers crushed between doorways, shame on the republican party for trying to sweep the horrors of that day under the rug because they're afraid of donald trump. the number of smokers around the world has reached an all time high. this is according to study in the land that medical journal. it found that 1100000000 people smoked in 2019 population growth, young people picking up the habit, have outstripped efforts to reduce the overall number. also in 2019 smoking killed almost 8000000 people. 10 countries make up 2 thirds of the wealth, smoking population that includes china, india, and denisia. you know,
2:21 am
it just stays russia and turkey. one in 3 tobacco mochas, or that's about 341000000 people are in china. let's bring in doctor oscar ellen, he's chief of programs and services for the national association of county and city health officials. he joins us from washington, d. c. many thanks to speaking to us on out his era. so we have seen this crack down in recent years from a number of countries binding things like indoor smoking, raising the cost of packets of cigarettes and so on. but as my direct to put it, smoking is just not cool anymore. so it's surprising, isn't it? that the numbers on the rise in some cases, yes and no. yes. in the sense that smoking, the traditional cigarette has kind of fallen out of favor. but we've seen the rise and other tobacco products that we estimate has really taken a turn with why folks really been using more of these tobacco products than
2:22 am
a and then alarm and fashion, whether they be electronic cigarettes, of course, e to gars heated tobacco products. there's so many different aspects of folks. no go to right now for smoking, which unfortunately we're seeing unremarkable right. to really do. just want to be going for that direction. and what was interesting in this report was that it showed that just 10 countries make up to the well smoking population, which includes countries like the us, china, india, russia, and turkey. why it's smoking more prevalent in these countries? it's interesting because we look at the high income nations and countries, we're still seeing a reduction in some cases, but an increase in the adolescent in the team population. but i think another instance point that it's very important to realize just in the us alone,
2:23 am
2019 found about $8200000000.00 that buy back and company to market their products. $8200000000.00, which is roughly about $22500000.00 each day, roughly a $1000000.00 per hour. so imagine the friends of the impact of that marketing campaign on a community is you mention where not much money is being spent to counter these effects. so there are several mitigating factors that we're seeing, especially in high income populations, as we, as you, of articulate, as you say, it is the young who are more vulnerable to picking up this habits according to this report. so how best can not be targeted? really, we have to meet these populations, these demographics, where they're most highly influence and what has been shown from the study. it's really that if you're able to get them before they mid twenties, they're less likely to take up smoking the 1st time. so it's important to both
2:24 am
address parents, winces social media, whatever folks to use. and we really have to really focus our double down those efforts if we're truly going to influence change, as well as the likelihood of getting these products into the hands, the natures, an adolescent, whether it's flavored easter gars or you figure it, you know, all of these items make a really tough time and try to reduce the attractiveness by virtue of how they've been marketed, how the readily available, they are to these population. and dr. is, is there a connection? do you think between this increase of smoking and the coven pandemic? because there is some risk research in some parts of the well this seems to suggest that's why we're seeing a jump in smoking, especially in the young. yeah, that's a very some question. and when you think about things, this data was until 2019. so it hasn't even included what we have experienced from
2:25 am
2020, which was the entire length of breath of the coded pandemic. so within the 2019 data you are seeing that individuals who are younger, lower education below the poverty line, you know, individuals disable. 4 those who have high anxiety, they have a great predilection for smoking or keeping or taking up smoking capacity to others . now you overlay that on the intense pressure of the social isolation and all of the other factors that we have experienced this past year. we've proven we anticipate that number of smoking will actually go up unfortunately, and not the right direction that we want to see. for this particular scenario, dr. oscar at n is really good to talk to you chief of programs and services for the national association of county and city health officials. speaking to us from washington dc . thank you. thank you. the world health organization has criticize the increasingly bitter debate over the origins of the
2:26 am
corona virus. earlier this week, joe biden gave us intelligence agencies 3 months to report back saying they still hadn't reached a consensus. at issue is the theory that the vars leaked from a chinese lab, a scenario found to be unlikely by a joint w h, a china investigation. this whole process is being poisoned by politics and if you expect scientists to do their work, if you expect scientist to collaborate and actually get the answers that you want, actually seek in a non blame environment to find this, the origin of the wires. so we may all learn how to prevent this happening in future. we would ask that this be done in a deeper letter sized environment where science and health is the objective of this and not blame and politics because quite frankly, over the last number of days we've seen more and more and more discourse in the media with it terribly little actual news or evidence or
2:27 am
new material. and this is, this is quite disturbing, quite frankly, the netherlands will once again allow bars and restaurants to serve indoors and museums to open in what the prime minister says is a calculated risk. the decision to further relax restrictions has been made as infections dropped and more people are vaccinated. the government says more rules will be lifted at the end of next month. if infections remain stable. french president, him on your micro has discuss vaccine production in south africa. well, visiting the lead us several rum opposed. he and other states believe south africa can ensure regular supplies for the entire continence or my post once vaccine payton's to be temporarily spend it. hong kong media. hi, karen. jimmy lie has been given another prison sentence to taking part in anti beijing protest back in 2019 the pro democracy activists is already serving
