and the government has responded to growing calls for a plan to get back to normal. we cannot asphyxiated people to stay home for ever. so now we need a new playbook to reflect a population protected from covet. the prime minister announced a traffic light system. we'll be introduced with different alert levels to manage outbreaks of the virus using fewer restrictions and no more nation wide loc downs. it signals an end to the elimination strategy and an acknowledgement that ye zealand is will need to learn to live with the virus provided the vaccination rate reaches 90 percent. the arrival of the delta vary into new zealand, changed everything and is proved impossible to eliminate. but it did force the government and the public to speed up vaccinations. 86 percent of now had at least one dose. but getting to that key figure of 90 percent may take some time. the government says it will review the situation at the end of november, which may be too far away for those wanting a quicker end to coven locked downs,

australia 2nd largest city has reopened, despite new infections, continuing to rise, milburn has been accumulated 262 days locked down since the start of the pandemic, more than any other in the world. my brain sort of separated from orator for so long as it's serv, enough to be back to though i'm, it's a sunny day. heavy. it's 6th and probably last lockdown was lifted as the vaccination rate, past 70 percent. wayne, hey, al jazeera toner, new zealand, up to a 180000 health care workers may have died from co with 19, in the 1st 16 months of the pandemic. the world health organization chief blames poorly equipped facilities and lack of vaccines in developing countries. he says more must be done to protect them. essentially,

is getting to the bottom of what exactly happened, who knew what and when the democrats expected to win this vote, they were pleasantly surprised that they managed to get 9 republicans to join them and voting for the contempt charge. 7 of them actually voted for donald trump's impeachment way back in january 2 of them. probably a bit of a surprise, but then in tight districts. and so they probably didn't want to be those people who supported undefended steve band and given that that might need waters in the next couple of elections. so they were very careful about that. thought that a federal has already been sent to the department of justice medic, garland who is the attorney general has said in the last day or so that they will look at the facts and they will look at the evidence and then we will make a decision steep and, and was of course, a very close advisor to donald trump. he fell out with them, but he was still friends with them and helped him up to the election in november

last year. and in january the 5th, the day before the incident on capitol hill on his podcast, he said that all hell is going to break loose to morrow. just that phrase was enough for, for a less cheney a leading republican. and someone who's also on the 6th of january committee to tell congress that and that alone means that the banner has questions to answer. richard, good. stine is a democratic political consultants. he's also a former advisor to bill clinton. she says balanced popularity won't save him from being charged. most of the republicans who voted, and there were only 9 of out of over $200.00 had voted to impeach donald from the 2nd time around. so the really only 2 who actually voted today to proceed with this action against that and who had not voted. so injury,

they were kind of the usual, but back for the most part among the republic would decide whether one goes to jail is whether the prosecutors can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he's committed a crime. and we know here that is totally thumbs. you know, at a lawfully issued subpoena, and that's why the congress is recommending to the u. s. department of justice that they proceed to bring this action criminal action against bad. and so it really doesn't him so much on his popularity among anybody. it has to do with what the facts are, what the law is. i think we know exactly who the band and sees as his audience. it has not, it's not democrat. it's not. people, frankly weren't particularly tuned into politics. he's a rabble rouser among very active trump supporting republicans. they love this. they think somebody there knows a democrat is, is a great time. but that's not how our system work. donald trump felt that way too.

and it came to be that law ultimately took precedence over his feeling that he took precedence over law. and i think bad in we'll see a less, he's able to drag this out in court long enough. that may be the republicans take control of the house of representatives next november and drop this entirely. that's his play. still ahead on al jazeera, i was demanding justice legal students and gonna claim correct of the country's only last school. cleaning up after a volcano will tell you how ashes making a mess of the tourist season on la paloma ah
