china has been very strategic in the way it's expanding, is reaching the indian ocean. what is it? and we bring you the stories and developments that are rapidly changing the world we live in without being national aid. what do you think is going to happen? the afghani common counting the coast on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm. how am i hidden? this is the news are live from dough harm. coming up in the next 60 minutes, hundreds of migrants and refugees have breathed the called for another night in makeshift camps along the poland bella roost border. while the 1st flight toby,

rocky refugee stuck at the border, prepares to take them home after they failed to cross into europe. the a shop leading effect, unless the i feel my deep blue remainder germany is parliament decides whether to impose new coated 19 restrictions as infections. surgeon, countries across europe. for us, i at least 15 people killed in sudan after security forces, open fire on thousands, protesting against the military takeover and humbled with all the sport, including spain's guy being mcgloid with her has claimed her 1st w t. a final title, 2 time ground sam champion, let beat on it that point of faith that ah

well thousands of refugees and migrants are still living in makeshift camps under freezing conditions on the bellows. poland border. valerie says set up some shelters, but there's no sign of any resolution and it stands off with a pool and serv. well, let's speak with jonah hole. he joins us live from so called caa, which is on poland, side of the border with a bell roofs. you wanna just bring us up to date with what's happening in terms of the humanitarian situation. the situation would perhaps, you know, marginally improved for most of the people on the battery should side of the board . we've seen pictures of them this morning, emerging from that rather squalid looking tented. camp beside the cruise knits aboard a crossing and being given what looked like to the little blue bags of aid supplies by the better original authorities. others spent the night in a converted warehouse with perhaps some protection from the elements, not

a great deal. so module improvements, but still pretty appalling conditions. and for the most part, they will spend yet another day looking out of roles of barbed wire and polish border guards and right police determined to make sure they do not cross over into the you. and as that knowledge sinks in that there is really no way forward. well that of course gives way to desperation. and on tuesday night there was another wednesday night rather another attempt to breach the board of defenses at a point 80 kilometers. also south of here, according to the polish defense ministry, several 100 people launching a sort of coordinated move with a decoy operation on one side, throwing stones to detract at distract the border guards at another point, trying to break through the fence, allegedly, with the help of the better solution border guards will that attempt failed. meanwhile, attempts are ongoing diplomatically to try to resolve this crisis to high level phone calls between chancellor merkel and alexander lucas shank of this week. ostensibly, according to the german side,

to talk about making aid more accessible to these people. but the estonian foreign minister on wednesday night said that alexander lucas shan't go, had any effect made clear his terms for ending this crisis. he said that he wants sanctions stopped and lifted and he wants to be recognised as the legitimate leader of his country. well, sanctions are going ahead as we understand it, and it seems highly unlikely that the european union will change its mind about a 2020 election in bella. luce widely considered a sham follow a brutal crack down the opposition, all of which leaves alex lucas shanker. if you think about it, looking somewhat high and dry, he is a man, according to the european council for foreign relations, who is if effectively still engaged, existential battle for his own political survival. and a man who probably doesn't care what happens to the people trapped on his side of the border now. okay, just wait for one moment. there. joanna,

we cuz we do understand that in the next 15 minutes. so hundreds old rocky migrants and refugees was still trapped. that boys are there to, to leave mince kit, to return home rocks for a ministry is trying to find others in bella reese who wants to leave. so given this, given the fact that there are these efforts to bring some of these a rocking, at least to bring them home, do these repack, creations represent some kind of easing all the crisis? well ok, inevitably it's an easing of sorts that any of these people are really being removed from the situation that they're in. but this is a pretty small percentage. initially we were told 171 that it was 200. now we understand for the validation side that it is 400 people who signed up to be taken

away. whether that's one flight or 2, that's a lot of people. it might be a military transport. we don't know. and we also don't know whether they may be further repatriation flights laid on it, which more people may sign up to be part of cs. it could be part of a trend that represents and easing. but remember that all the people over there an awful lot of them remain extremely determined to find some way to cross into the european union. that's why they're there. that's what they came that to do. and equally remember that it remains extremely uncertain just what alexander lucas shank may be willing to do. ok, joe, and how they're reporting live from the poland beller is forward to thank you very much indeed, jonah, and a little later in the program, we will cross one of 2 correspondents, any rock for more on those repack creations that will be at the bottom of the era now armenia says the russian mediated cease far with as a by sean is mostly holding falling violence there. earlier this week,

europe. once again, it's the epicenter of the croon of ours pandemic. even before winter, fully takes hold. in germany's oldest christmas market interests and traders wonder if the virus was once again steal the festive season and their profits this momentous moment. i think the problem is that the trade is feel a bit abandoned. we didn't know what's going to happen. are we going to open up the rules going to be changed? and yes, on sleepless nights we think about the goods that are ordered. no one gives any information about what is going to happen. and when germany's fault, waive is raging presenting and only emergency for the parties that form the next governing coalition. the outgoing chancellor. should this star wanting to give me the panoramic situation in germany as dramatic. i can't say in any other way than the 4th waivers hitting our country with full force. default wave has tightened its grip on neighboring belgium. in response,

the government is extending the use of face mass and again, making more people work from home. yes, fostering the 1st observation is that the alarm signals are flashing red. we see that we have a very high number of infections in our country. we also see that the number of beds occupied in intensive care has doubled in a week. and we have crossed the red line with 500 beds occupied. in the czech republic, where deline infections are hidden, new records proposed come and restrictions on the unvaccinated, half triggered protests by large, unmasked crowds in prague. did glance at her said that i am at this scar. the situation is truly dramatic. i am again asking every one to get vaccinated. really selfish are these people who don't get vaccinated and end up in hospitals. i endangering healthcare for other citizens of a fear keenly felt in many parts of europe, where people are bracing for another winter of uncertainty. brown got up there. i'll 0 with

a new wave of cove at 19 sweeping across europe. governments are scrambling to responds. germany's parliament is deciding all new measures after fairly infections reached their highest level since the start of the pandemic, around 2 thirds of the country's population still hasn't been vaccinated. i'm in france. president macro has re introduced restrictions including the compulsory wearing of masks for children and elementary schools. and the requirements for covert pass to access public places since they've been extended into next summer. will the netherlands, they've returned to a partial locked in on saturday. restaurants and shops to close early and crowds are banned from sporting events. the country is also running out of coven 19 test. kids will. joining us now from amsterdam to discuss, this is the freeze face science and medical journalists, covering government policies on coven 19 across the you. it's good to have you with

this oneal, just even use. we've got vaccines, which we didn't have at the start of this. we've got treatments which we didn't have at the start of the panoramic, so why our case is still rising. yeah, well. busy i think most governments in across or are they expected and their advisors as well to to the curb. the curves with with vaccinations, but they've been surprised by the extent to which the virus can still spread among the vaccinated in on top of the infection agents. so just that kind of an issue now it is an issue and it is this a dos of options. you're the left for the governments because what do they need to do to tackle this night? there are, of course, the hard measures like lock signs, but people quite right. they feel that they've suffered enough for the great gauge

that the governments are indeed very reluctant to do more than the minimal. but that's their dilemma now as well in the netherlands, and i think it's in most countries across this continent. is there been late in re imposing a stricter general measures just like our partial look down. and a lot of experts are still doubting where that is, will be enough to get the repetition number under one. again to get the curve down . and they're discussing additional measures that we are discussing. now, department has been discussing to g, so people will only get into cinema or a bar, or a museum with a pass showing that you've been vaccinated or recovered and no longer tested. but critics day was dead, only works with a low transmission, and the transmission is very high now. so it won't help us a lot on this short medium term only in the long term and trying to get more people

vaccinated. it will take like weeks before that helps. so the problem is the and vaccinated people isn't it one part of it. i think it's a combination of investment people and the high transmission so. busy we're all responsible in a way that this the on vaccinated people who end with the greatest of respect to teaching up all the medical resources that are putting the strains on public services. so give it a month, is it not time to start looking? don't the unvaccinated as they're doing, and austria. yeah that's, that's not that much discuss the government. and i think they're rightly are very afraid of even increasing even more increasing tripler zation in the industry and society and. and as i said, it's also been said by the data analysts said, okay, most of the people in the hospitals are, are affectionate. it and,

and relatively it's, it's a lot more, but also quite a lot of vulnerable people that are w vaccinated fully vaccinated are being taken up and out into the hospital. so we're not done. and the particular area within where they like weeks the next. so our mission is what we're started the restrictions last saturday. we'll take 2 or 3 weeks before we see the result in the hospitals will probably get into the red zone in the most hospitals before that. so it won't help us now. maybe for the rest of the winter. it's it, it, we needs more people get fed to get vaccinated. and that's all the difference is also with across europe. like in france or in austin austria front is doing pretty well actually. now the vaccination rates are pretty diverse. in germany is it's lower than in netherlands or in denmark, it's even higher. so that also depends on what you, what measures you're taking,

what are that are proportional sort of against and vaccinated people. so how much of this is done to politics then? because it really seems like the politics of protecting people feelings is impacting on the well being of, of the public that people say we don't, we want to protect our rights and don't want to be getting vaccinated. and that's having an impact on people to you don't think it's time for governments to, to stop worrying about hurting people's feelings and actually take some action that's going to knock this virus on the head was indeed a sentiments very strong here in the netherlands. it has been historically as well . we have a very strong voice of the particular people from the more stricter christian regions they have been against. vaccinations are obliged vaccinations. and now there's a lot of strong like individual right people and they're very focusing on

individual rights. whereas public health is also one of the founding rights of our society. so indeed we should do more and that we should discuss how i don't see. busy a lockdown just perfect native b unvaccinated people coming in in the redlands, but they're still becoming strict trans, stricter and but, and what i think they should become more honest about it because they're really afraid of that sentiment and they're making it more strict and stricter for these and vaccinated people as well saying that they are not so and people that really get take that anymore and more. oh, i'm sorry, i'm sorry to jump and how much if there's just one final question, how much of this a reluctance to get vaccinated would you say is don't see to all the, let's say the drama when the astrazeneca vaccine was roll dates. and there was a lot of criticism from, from top political officials across europe about how effective this

u. k. developed vaccine would be. do you think that a lot of the, the politicking around that has impact seeds, people's willingness to get vaccinated across mainland europe. i think it's part of it. i think it's a combination of all these things that were this. also these stories about the m r n a is experimental. there are, does very vague assumptions and stories about people not being, becoming, being able to get pregnant again. and then on top of that, there were all the strong bose just stories and the way that was handled. i think it's a mix up a lot of people who just don't really care even though they're they don't think the think i might get the sexy later. and that's so sad because people end up and asked about and said i should have taken it. ok. you have to freeze, great to get your thoughts on your analysis there. thank you so much for joining us for months to time. we appreciate it. thank you. so korea has recorded its highest

number of new coven 19 cases in a single day. when 3600 people tested positive on thursday, official say they were expecting to see an increase after most restrictions were lift. it's earlier this month. 78 percent of the population has been vaccinated. a palestinian prisoner has died insides and israeli jail. after reports of the liberal, deliberate medical negligence by the israeli authorities from yellow move was sentenced to 19 years in prison. in 2008, his mother was only able to visit him a few times after his arrest when the mcmahon in law. i wished he was out of prison and got married. i wish i could give him years and years of my life so he could live longer. we were hoping to see him after this, but these were only hopes it was the will of god. i did not see him alive, but i still want to see him even if dead. at least 15 people were killed in sit on
