5:02 pm
next year. i'll screen journalist collette schmidt says far right groups that don't believe in corona virus are behind the rallies. this lockdown is really coming too late. we already have hospitals in some parts of the country who cannot take new patients. they are patients with heart disease is or cancer that cannot get proper treatment right now, because intensive care units are full with unvaccinated carpet patients. but these people who are protesting, they're not protesting because it is all coming too late. they are protesting against vaccinations. they can lock down, and some of them even think the virus is not real, even now in this dramatic situation or health care system. so if you take the 10 or even 15000 people and compare them to our 9000000 inhabitants, they're really a small group, but they're very radical. and 1st of them are very violent already a few months ago we saw even well no neil and actually groups meeting with people
5:03 pm
who are just protesting or going back phoenicians and not really themselves very far. right. but then over the summer, the groups got smaller, but more radical there's really a lot of new and organizing projects, but also new groups who found each other because they're all against the corona, not against the virus. they don't believe in the virus. that's the problem. are there been also been protests in the netherlands? these are pictures from the largest city amsterdam 110000 coven. 19 cases were reported in the netherlands last week. country went into a partial lockdown last saturday. on friday night things turned violent in the city of rotterdam. at least 7 people were injured and dozens arrested. police declared emergency and shut down public transport. jeff han lake is an associate professor at the erasmus university in the hague. he says the protests were expected. the
5:04 pm
protests were very much sure predictable, given the state of concern were rather skepticism that people have from the dutch government. since april we've been basically dealing with the caretaker government just not been able to form a coalition partners. i got a permanent government and then from people, even before the pendulum interrupted, very skeptical. the previous government was actually brought down because of the prices of confidence to the child benefits campbell, that is never been resolved. so the crisis we're facing is another to run a crisis. it's really a crisis of confidence in the legitimacy of government. people simply don't trust the government and, and that is, of course, a huge, huge challenge for the dutch government to, to overcome it. seeks to convince people to have vaccinations when it seeks to convince people of the need for a lockdown. the government very quickly rolled back the previous lockdown without
5:05 pm
really step by step measures. so to reintroduce the lockdown measures right now, of course are going to be heavily resisted by people. so it's, it's not surprising but of course it's very, very worrisome, but this kind of products are going to happen elsewhere in the country. in australia, tens of thousands of people have been protesting against coded 19 vaccine orders and pandemic laws. rallies were held in each state capital, including sydney demonstrators in melbourne, calling for the scrapping of a bill they say will give the state the state premier too much power. are you a secretary of state anthony blinking is visiting a covey 19 vaccine manufacturing facility in singles capital dot com. the pastor institute received millions of dollars from foreign partners, including the u. s. to help african nations produce their own jobs. as of now, the continent import 909 percent of all its vaccines. nicholas hawk has more from the car. the vaccination rates,
5:06 pm
it's really 4. i believe. 2 percent of the 2 percent of the population in africa. we're talking about a 1000000000 people have been vaccinated, compare this to what's happening in europe right now. where, where there's discussions both in north america and europe of a 3rd job. people here are not being, are not getting vaccinated, not because they don't want to, but simply because they don't have access to those covert vaccines. despite the fact that early on in jo biden's presidency he had. and she had promised that millions of doses of those vaccines would be delivered to africa that has not happened in as antony blanket explained that early on in his visit in a buddha, he seeking to back african solutions to african problems. and that's why this visit to the french best. so institute a significant will be the 1st time that allowed, based in west africa, will not only produce vaccines against covey, but also export it to neighboring countries. and while there are, depending on which countries you're, you're thinking of, there are
5:07 pm
a rise of cases in south africa. earlier on in the year in tunisia, the, the coven cases brought the health system to, to the brink of collapse. well, here in senegal, it in certain west african countries, we've seen a slow down of, of the rate of infection. so scientists are still trying to figure out why that is, is it because there's a population here that's young and that maybe aren't being infected, but don't show the symptoms of covered or are there as a researchers from zimbabwe have suggested? are there other factors such as the fact that some of the people here are or are facing other infectious diseases or malaria that give them a higher immunity? so there's still a lot of research to be done on probate in that research has to be done here on the african continent. and that will benefit, not just africans, but the world globally of people in lebanon are struggling to pay for medicines after the government cuts subsidies on some drugs, the country's already in

5:17 pm
a terrorist organization. leaders of the group have held an emergency meeting and garza, they say the move is a direct targeting and abuse of the palestinian people. think closer. look at the role of ham as the group took control of garza in 2007 after defeating is political rival factor in elections a year earlier. apart from its political and military wing, hamis also delivers social and welfare programs to the people of gaza. provides aide money, drinking water and housing. but the u. k. terra designation could now complicated and hinder those social welfare programs. that the how much is a hamis official? he believes the british government has been manipulated into taking this decision. i think this is something good and very strange and there was something shook there that the british government that they don't understand the situation very well. they don't understand that from us became part of the political system. habash participated and they have a democratic election. hamas became

a part of the of the of power hearing garza habash participated in dialogue, additional little dialogue participate in the government. so i think that the british government, the reality explored that there are various to be there. they both know anything about the situation here in the policy and territories. i fear also, i think the british government just received a fake and the false id for motion of from day chabarise and they tell him the whole story about i'm us legal. so that is right as enemy, and they will give it a prime minister, which is the pro israel. the support is that i had to put the glass of israel and therefore get the policy, not people. this me is that they forget all the crimes of israel forget the that the sitting with are against the international law, confiscation of law on against the international law. assassination. see john garza and i think default it all the crime sincere establishment of his way in 1948 till
