animals. we are sitting here until the prime minister finds a solution or either he leaves or his cabinet leaves or, or the story n, as you're seeing here, and just slightly removed the 30 years. the rule rule 2 years of rule. another insanity i perform this protest has demands. these demands ought to dissolve the 4 party transitional government. after that government is dissolved, we have to form a new independent government with qualified people. ah, if morgan is in the capital cartoon been sent this update. well, the aim here is not to ask any government, but rather to make sure that civilians have a stronger grip of bout in power. now this all started with the sitting in front of the presidential palace that was organized by the national child. the alliance a dissident group of the forces of freedom and change coalition, demanding that the military dissolved at the government of prime minister abdullah ham dog and installed a new one until elections are held. they say that the current government is not inclusive and does not represent everybody who to parts and the revolution. now,

this called these courts as the people that are taking 2 to 3 today, especially those who we've seen around us here. they say they've, they've responded to the calls of the forces of freedom and chase toilet in the mainstream. not because they support any specific political party, but to show that they prepare a civilian rule over a military one. now the government has made preparations for this day, the interior ministry, and i was that it has already put police around the main vital facilities of the government, including the national legislative assembly which is currently vacated because there is no functioning but legislative assembly as part of the power sharing agreement that's yet to be formed, but nevertheless protested, took to that building to show that they wanted these government to be formed. their reports are not here as being user on processes, but live ammunition as well. hospitals has already have already been listed for injured people to go seek treatment that these european government is carried out

given at least one dose of cobit 19 vaccine to 3 quarters of its 1380000000 population prime minister, nor, and remote. he visited a new daily hospital to celebrate the billionth dose, but only 31 percent of had 2 doses. they did a certain degree of apathy, as well as the feeling, but the worst as fast as that is no for the rest. so many people are not really going in for the 2nd goes straight away. in years, sitting on vaccines stock of a 100000000 doses and has recently started exporting again. it's africa whether needed less than 5 percent of the continents population has been vaccinated. the world health organization says that could mean the pandemic goes on for a year longer than it needs to developing countries should not have to wait for the charity rich nations. because that charity, as we've seen in the last year in a hall, is not happening. we cannot rely on their law, jess, we have to have manufacturing and do that. we have to share the recipe that we're

publicly funded in the 1st place in some eastern european countries. the challenge is persuading enough people to get jumped. latvia is the 1st european nation to go back into lockdown. only 54 percent of latvian adults are vaccinated. you average is 74 percent. bulgaria and romania are also struggling to cope with a surgeon infections. while in russia. corona virus related deaths, i've hit another daily record of more than a 1000. the government is imposing a weeklong workplace shut down from the start of november. it's very clear that in countries that have low vaccine uptake, that's where we're seeing the serious pandemic effects at the moment in terms of deaths and people ending up in hospital. and so at the general population level, i believe that russia sits around that sense where the complete immunization series and that's similar to what we're seeing in other countries like romania and bulgaria. u. k has more cases than france, germany, italy,

and spain combined. and poland is also facing a significant rise and affections now at $5000.00 a day, which may require drastic action just as the continent heads towards winter. bernard smith al jazeera, the u. k, as recorded another 52000 current of ours cases as infections that continue to surge is the 1st time the deli case numbers have talked 50 thousands since july. i'm going to parse johnson says he's watching very carefully, but does not intend to bring in tighter controls at current infection levels. turner hell has more from central london covered 900 making a pretty significant come back here in england, particularly infection numbers have been rising throughout october, hitting in fact 52000 on thursday and they're ologist along with the health secretary have been warning that they could hit a 100000 during the course of this winter death numbers are already where they were in march, but remember then the country was locked down. now,

7 months later old meaningful mitigations have been lifted. for some time people largely going about their lives as if it was all over. well, it's not, of course the protection conferred by the double vaccine jobs is waning, particularly in old age groups. the booster program isn't going all that well. and the 2 main unions representing doctors and medical staff have insisted that the government so called plan be instituted instantly bringing in a new range of mitigation as well. that's not going to happen. prime minister barak johnson said that while numbers were going up, they were going up within the parameters of expectations of set out by the government modelers. he says we're going into this winter vastly better prepared than we went into last. well, this is a government that just a week ago in a parliamentary report was lam basted for a string of failures during the early phase of the pandemic. and once again, from a variety of quarters, it's being accused of not acting swiftly enough of failing to learn the lessons of

the 1st part of the pandemic. authorities in china have cancelled hundreds of flight close schools and wrapped up mass testing in an attempt to contain a new code. 19 outbreak of surgeon cases has been linked to an elderly couple who part of a group of tourists. strict current of our policy has been, had been maintained in the country, with border closures and loc downs, regularly proven to force still to come this off our i think we have to, we dos were extremely disappointed with developments. european union leaders, paula pressure on poland to fall back into line at the summit in brussels, and doing a roaring trade. find out how much big john they, triceratops fetched adoption in paris. ah

a change for the south. there are shares going through the valley. erickson catching is eastern shore of spain. there shall dr. around in italy, on the north and part of the balkans, there will be a slow drop in temperature, i think in the balkans. otherwise these are slow moving stores on their way actually to norden, african shores, leaving sunshine behind. ah, healing the debate, 90 percent of the world's refugees have come from a common impacted country. the climate emergency is putting more pressure on across the world and amplify your voice. it's not really the future. it's now not a completely cannot lose hope. we know what to do, and we have the tools to do this on out there. ah,
