on out, just a challenge is getting people to engage part of the sample clock that was on good luck. we are the one grappling the extra mile. where are the media don't go, we go there and we give them a chance to tell their story. ah, you don't, is beck at the epicenter or upon the mc that'd be, were one year to go? the world health organization says here appears in the group 12 a significance covered 19 resurgence. ah, hello there i'm, how am i here, dean and this is al jazeera lloyd from doha. also coming up, the european union calls for an immediate cease far and, and go see ations is fighting intensifies in ethiopia. aaron's president,

next year. and 43 countries in already, and we'll face high to extreme stress on hospital bits at some point through the same period, john hall has more from london 78000000 new infections currently recorded across those 53 countries. that number is higher than the cumulative total of southeast asia, east mediterranean, the western pacific, and the whole of africa. and those numbers mr. clue pointed out a going up by around a quarter of a 1000000 infections every single day. and 3600 deaths being recorded every single day and half a 1000000 potentially by february. that's just 4 months from now. why is this happening? well, the w h o pointed to potential causal factors. the 1st he said was the relaxation of public health and social measures. you can take the u. k. as an example of that

were mandatory precautions were lifted in july, much of the population here going about their lives as if the threat has largely passed. and secondly, he said insufficient vaccination coverage now abroad. that's about 2 things that's about people who had their vaccination 6 months or more ago finding that their immunization, their protection is now waning. and also the problem of vaccine hesitancy in some countries. russia is a particular example here with high levels of misinformation on social media and distrust of locally produced vaccines. russia, the worst country on the list, recording over a 1000 deaths every single day, the bypass ministration as an, as the deadline for it's covered 1900 vaccination mandates and heavy fines from january. 4th companies with $100.00 or more employees will be required to ensure saw for either vaccinated or tested weekly firms signed to be in violation of the

mandate could be fines, almost $14000.00. allen fisher joins us now live from capitol hill island. these new measures that president biden wants to bring in our cohens effect on january 4th. we knew they were coming and it was just about when they would come and no renew is going to be 2 weeks from today. interesting that any company with 100 employees or more will have to make sure that everyone is vaccinated. walker so choose not to be vaccinated. we'll have to have a test every week that comes and back negative. that will be their course. the employers don't have to pay for that. so clearly there's an incentive there. and also if you're an vax than you're in the office and you get that negative test, then you have to wear a mask at all times. and companies have to enforce this. or there will be facing $14000.00 for each breach, and that becomes punitive for many companies as well. that won't count though for

health workers, there is no testing for them. they have to be vaccinated. that is coming as a government mandate and that also includes federal workers as well. again, newly way for testing or not being vaccinated, you've got to go ahead and get vaccinated. will there be challenges to this? yeah, absolutely. bit your life there. well, because this is america in 2021 and attorneys general from around the country, it already saying that they are going to take the vitamin ministration to court. they believe that they are using legislation that actually doesn't imply employ here. that it isn't a what police injury and therefore they have no right to do this. the bite administration though very confident that they are on solid legal ground and this will go ahead come january the 4th and allen, you're joining us from the capitol hill. i or what's going on there right now. this is the senate committee hearing on how to take the response to corporate

forward from here and all the mean figures are there including rochelle, valencia of the c, d. c. and antony photo, of course, has become well known throughout the united states, but also a bit of a hate figure on the right. they have been talking up the benefit of vaccinations and also of mandates. the point to the fact that united airlines said to their staff, you have to be vaccinated, or else you lose your job. 99 percent of employees decided to get vaccinated tysons foods. one of the big food manufactures here in the united states said the same to the employees, a 96 percent take up rate. they believe that not only does it scope hospitalizations, but it saves lives as well. and the biden administration says, look, if you go ahead with these mandates, it means that more people will get back into the workforce. it will help with the economy. it will help with unemployment. it could also help with inflation is supply chain issues start to come back. they believe that this is a good thing that are some who say it's not. but at the moment, as far as the bag than ministration is concerned,

is fuel speed ahead to january the 4th and kal and fisher, they are joining us ally from capitol hill allen for night. thank you. uganda as president, as calling for east african leaders to meet sand, discuss the worst and conflicts in ethiopia. meanwhile, the u. s. embassy and address above us, allowing some of its staff and the families to leave. if european governments is declared, the state of emergency is to grow and rebels claim to have made advances towards the capital. european union is now among those calling for an immediate cease far priyanka character reports. it's not the 1st call to arms spine. if he'll be a leader, but this time it's against an enemy within a percent prime, mister abbey amad use the 1st anniversary of the conflict antique white to call on its citizens to fight and defeat the tiguan rebels, nebraska until ethiopia is free and peaceful. this is the time every citizen has to

but whose cabinet is controlled by hezbollah and its allies. they have publicly back the minister who has reiterated his refusal to resign. i also need to gave a consensus agreement of his bella movement to political parties as well as the matter of the part, the part of the minister could back us not to design as well. if the design, the diplomatic dispute is aggravating divisions and 11 on which is among the battlefield where event and saudi arabia geopolitical, tug of war, is played out and look at them and help them. and then he, at liberty governments most over a kin frank apology to saudi arabia and the gulf states as total real demo to just controversial issues that includes ending his beloved military intervention in human after. yeah, saudi arabia has long accused, has beloved helping the ran back hootie rebels in yemen,

a charge the group denies. saudi arabia is pressuring lebanon to take a harsher line on has for law. but the lebanese foreign minister has said the kingdom is forcing impossible terms on the government has bala, he says, is a component of lebanese politics. and its arm wing has a regional dimension which can't be resolved by. the authorities here. already cabinet has been deadlocked for weeks after a dispute about the judge investigating last year's blast at b who port and now without support from gulf nations, it will be hard to secure much needed international aid to stop its economic collapse. seneca there elisha's eda, beirut, the comp 26 climate summit to set its sites on the dirtiest fossil fuel coal. britton's government says it's secure to coalition of dozens of countries, pledge and clear commitments to phase out coal power. but there are noticeable

absences. the 3 largest consumers of call india, china and the u. s. have not signed up. still the u. s. climate envoy, john kerry, has told al jazeera his country's green agenda, is setting a global example. we are committed to be carbon fruit in our power sector by 2035 and the president has committed that we will have only electric vehicles by 2035, no more internal combustion engine. so we're moving ahead very, very aggressively. as we mentioned, india has not signed up to the cold deal either. while renewable power generation is triple buried recent years. the cool factor is also expanding elizabeth per on a report, some jock hands, which is home to india's largest coal reserves. these fires have been burning

across the jody. a cold field in india is east and state of johnson for more than 100 years. they've destroyed thousands of homes and made much of jody a town uninhabitable. philip bowery is now a single parent. after his 30 year old wife call jani baby fell into a pit while taking the daughter to use the toilet the ground. he often caves in the cause of the fires to my daughter came running and said mommy has fallen into a bit. i rushed to the fort and i prayed to god that no one has to ever see a site like julia is india's most lucrative caulfield. but also the site of one of its biggest environmental disasters underground fires were 1st detected in 1916 and abandoned mines, which weren't decommissioned properly. more recently, 2 decades of unrestrained open cost mining has brought fires to the surface, but the indian government is pushing ahead the plant,

expand the sector in jargon and beyond. india is developing. it's in your industry alone. it's industrialized. and for that you need power more and more for what is needed for and 70 percent via depend on this. india is already the world's 2nd largest producer consumer and importer of cold jock and is home to the country's largest coal reserves, but also to forests rich and bio diversity. the coal block under these fields. and that forest was auction to one of the is biggest companies nearly a year ago, but no work has started. that's because the state of jack and as challenging the central government's plans and the supreme court on environmental grounds, there are plans to convert these fields and large tracks of forest into mines. displacing tens of thousands of people who often belong to indigenous tribes. politicians and john can say any expansion must take people into consideration of

the problem yet is we want everyone wants call government one school, we want expansion, but what does it cost? people are paying for it. the truth is that there is an expansion, but people are not getting the view. you want to have a call back. you want to have to call. but what about the people living about the service? like thousands of others visit bodies says he won't leave jody because the government has provided proper accommodation elsewhere. as india's electricity demand grows with its economy, environmentalists say it must prioritize clean energy for any development to be beneficial in the years to come. elizabeth peron of al jazeera jock and eastern india. so as the world works to transition to renewables, there'll be less need for all fossil fuel infrastructure. environments had finished carcass in the scottish highlands were floating oil platforms,

wait for either new contracts, or to be de commissions. chromakey for the kind of barometer of the state of the case oil and gas industry because when there's a down. so it gets pretty crowded in here as unused. rigs are brought in from the north sea and a weight new contracts back in 2019 new case. oil and gas all authority estimated there were between 10 to 20000000 barrels of oil left to be recovered in the north sea. and indeed, as we speak, there's a bit underway to open up the john camber oil field, about 250 kilometers north of here, around the shetland islands. for the truth is, as the move away from fossil fuels gathers momentum fights like this will become more and more common for there is still clearly a very, very long way to go. at the u. n. climate conference in glasgow delegates there are still digesting the news that emissions a nearly back to pre pandemic levels and still increasing. but there is some good

news to on the 1.5 degrees celsius target. remember before the conference, we were heading for 2.7 degrees celsius. now with all the latest national commitments, if nation sticks them were at 1.9 degrees celsius, still some way to go. but as a week left of negotiations, so that gap could narrow politicians from the european parliament have told taiwan leaders. you are not alone. and delegation made the 1st business of its kind to the islands, meeting president, sighing. when in taipei, tensions are already running high with china, which claims taiwan as part of its territory. a nose despite china's government, asking people to stalk foul daily necessities. her sparked panic buying. it falls weeks of supply disruptions caused by covert outbreaks and extreme weather. katrina, you report snow form bridging in recent weeks. shopping at this fading, fresh food market has become more expensive. a true surprise has gone up. we can't

afford it. we had to buy some vegetables from the dealers on the street. the prices of common vegetables such as cucumbers, spinach and broccoli have doubled. some have become more expensive than pork, the staple meat and china. so when on monday, the chinese government issued a notice advising households to stockpile daily necessities. it sparked panic and heated discussion online. some posted about rushing to buy essential goods. others speculated that increasing tension with taiwan were the calls. but analysts say the announcement has been misinterpreted, that the reason that they put that notice out was basically, you know, routine, winter season preparedness for making sure that there's a good supply of fruit and vegetables on the market and normal daily goods. and that some of the reason that language was in there was due to, you know, the, the potential sort of ongoing risk of coven locked downs. the pandemic has led to

a renewed focus on china's food security. regional locked downs have disrupted food supplies to affected areas. and there have been other challenges. last month, crops in china's ne, a major food growing region were destroyed by unusually heavy rains. a nation wide power shortage has pushed up the cost of operating greenhouses. and a shortage of diesel fuel has delayed cross country deliveries, expert, se, tanya's emergency food reserves and mechanisms are generally in good shape. but while there isn't a shortage price hikes and supply disruptions hadn't hurting those who can least afforded laura's in china's lowest income bracket. living in small cities and rural areas, officials have moved to stabilize vegetable prices. also the bomb local governments will be instructed to ensure a market supply and the prize stability for daily necessities in the coming winter . and next spring, we will establish and improve the relevant safeguard and supply him. kennedy,

samson, and release governments, reserves at the appropriate time dating has also issued an action plan to reduce food waste, the restaurant and cater industries. meanwhile, shop is hoping that sky rocketing prices will soon return to normal. katrina, you out is irritating. ah, this is al jazeera, these are the headlines. europe is once again the epicenter of the corona virus pandemic. as the assessments of the world health organization which says recorded infections are higher there than those in asia. and africa combines u. k. regulators have approved marx anti viral pill to treat cove at 19. is the.
