i'll just see it up at the white house breaking news and to rocket serving fod into southern israel from gaza. they hit the car far as area. there's be new information about casualties will bring you more on that story. as soon as we get it, zambia founding president kenneth county has died at the age of 97 in the country for nearly 30 years from independence and helped other african nations throw off the shackles of colonialism hard wood. tulsa has more on his own life in politics. it was 1964, zambia gaines independence on britain for many who were there. it was the time for new beginnings. people had high expectations from zambia, the 1st president kenneth calendar. it was an exciting time as one by one liberation movements in africa, gained independence from the colonial master cohen the rules ambia for nearly 3 decades in what was effectively a one party state. as life got tougher for the poor,

many became frustrated and angry. some blame the struggling economy on colon does socialist policies as a puppy. that as he waned zombie and had had enough off the 27 years and power that be as founding father was defeated at the polls. then he did something that's still very rare in africa. he accepted the seat and willingly stepped down. he had been forth from the political arena through the ballot box, but he didn't disappear in the years that followed. he had a trouble relationship with subsequent zambian government. at one point, he was a keys approaching a coo and then had to fight to retain his ambien citizenship. in court. later, he became very much the eldest statesman, engaged in numerous charities, and gradually winning back the trust and affection of me and his ambiance. many se they'll always remember his trade walk white handkerchief, but also the fundamental roles played helping other neighboring countries gained the independence for years than be offered, refuse to african national congress members during a party in south africa, the

a 3rd dose. experts will observe over the course of a year are effective, a boost the job is in protecting both younger and older adults from different variance of the virus will do this by monitoring the level of antibodies and participants blood. the also study any harmful side effect, it's the natural next step to be doing a study where you're looking at the next scene after we've kind of done the initial studies looking at the 1st day says we've got to move forward because we know there are variance that coming through and things like that, and we may need to be people's immunity to be able to protect them against areas. susan porters, one of nearly 3000 participants receiving a booster of one of 8 different vaccines, including a placebo meningitis job as a frontline worker. in charge of a dementia care home, she was one of the 1st people in the u. k to be fully vaccinated. it's been quite difficult to manage everybody's expectations and keep people say and look present. the mental health of my resident impact is massive and it's going to be massive

going forward. and that's to be find a solution. this is the coal face of coven 19 research that they took out a carefully and methodically by these research, as well. eventually informed decision makers around the world the child so sensitive, we cannot film doses being administered in case participants find out which one they've received. while scientists here are considering 3rd doses, millions of people around the world haven't received a single one. the concern is that if boost the jobs prove effective, rich nations may choose to continue hoarding supplies, rather than sharing them with other nations. my hope is that there will be enough to go around and they, by the end of the year in an inter next year, could be koby back things last a lot longer than we think. and some people might not need a booster straight away or so soon. or it could be that because of the variance

virus, we all need much higher immunity than initially had been produced by office 2 doses . the vaccines are being trial, the 18 sites across the u. k. with half doses also being tested. if the pandemic caught the world off guard, this trial is about being as prepared as we possibly can. the ball can, i'll just 0 south hampton a decade out of a disaster, the fukushima nuclear power plant in japan. the threat of radiation is still a big concern. water which was used to cool rat to cause is now set to be released into the ocean. the government promises its been heavily treated. but as robert bride reports from the south, korean island of g u, the reassurance isn't enough. the forties and businesses reliant on the c early morning, a juice, busiest fish market, and the last of the nights catches brought ashore. bidding it the auction inside is brisk. with much of this bass,
