ah. ready from austria to australia, thousands protest against times of corona virus restrictions. ah, hello ron, come all santa maria here in doha with the world news from al jazeera, the u. s. secretary, state antony blink and ends his tour of africa with a promise to increase investment across the continent. the saudi than coalitions as it conducted a major operation against the wheaties in yemen. while the hoot these crime attacks on saudi targets, we join in a cause for peer c authorities to provide independent verifiable proof of her whereabouts and that she is safe. and the white house adds to the international calls for offices about chinese tennis stop punctuating,

who hasn't been seen for weeks. ah, corona virus cases are on the rise across europe this saturday. and so as the anger on the street says, countries like austria, germany in the netherlands, tyson there restrictions once again that a barbara has our report gathering in vienna to say things have gone too far as governments around europe try to limit rising cove 19 infection rates. austria is bringing in a 3 week national lockdown from monday and it's making vaccinations, compulsory for everyone from next february, with fines for people who don't comply. 2 thirds of austrians are fully vaccinated . that's one of the lowest rates in western europe. maxine skepticism has been encouraged by the far right freedom party, the 3rd biggest in parliament which organized saturdays protest. you can see

absolutely clear that where there are right or gastro miss are strong. ah, less people are election aid it and more people get the ill. so you see that they have some direct influence on the other, the level of the panoramic situation. benevolence is also now impartial, locked down with bars and restaurants, closing at 8 in the evening. on saturday, they've been demonstrating against the measures in amsterdam on friday night. there was rioting in rotterdam, where hundreds of protest has gathered to show their anger at the cove at 19 restrictions and ban on fireworks on new year's eve, demonstrators threw rocks at police or in some cases burnt vehicles. while police moved in with water cannon, one commentator told al jazeera, he's not surprised at the protests, citing general skepticism after the previous government fell. following a child benefit scandal, people simply don't trust the government and, and that is a cause, a huge,

huge challenge for the dutch government and to overcome it seeks to convince people to have vaccinations when it seeks to convince people of the need for a lot down in bavaria in southern germany, it's the last weekend before a local lockdown for the unvaccinated, the country's health minister says a 4th wave of infections is so serious that a national locked down can't be rolled out, but not polluted at 1st. pick the alice do give had to politicians organize this more strictly. we would have avoided this worsening situation with intensive care units being overloaded. i think i think it's absolutely right in high time to react . yeah, i'm fine with a lockdown as amended care with being put under pressure now and ultimately we're no longer free honesty. if you ask me i'm convinced mandatory vaccinations will be introduced. slovakia is just recorded a record figure for daily cases this week. the country of 5 and a half 1000000 people has tightened restrictions on on vaccinated people. nadine barbara al jazeera protests to in the italian capital where they're reposing

a mandatory coven, 19 green pass, which is now required to access work places. months ago, italy reported another 11000 new corona virus infections in australia. tens of thousands of people held protests against tighter restrictions as well. brownies were held in each state, capital and cleaning sidney emissaries and melbourne, calling for the scrapping of a bill they say will give the state premier too much power more from dana morse, a journalist with the abc and melbourne. there are range of things that are being protested about around the country to die is certainly the biggest die that we've seen for protest is around australia. and we had protesting almost every state and territory held today. the largest of which was here in melbourne. melbourne has enjoyed the longest lockdown in the world. and now there are concerns among parts of the community about some pandemic management legislation that the state

government is currently trying to pass through the upper house of parliament. now that bill has stoved, but people are concerned about the amount of power that the state government will have if the bill passes. now, people are also protesting around the country about vaccine mandates. many industries have now got no job, no job laws, which means people who are currently on vaccinations won't be able to continue working. and the other thing that many people protesting about are locked downs. now here in australia, melbourne did south of the longest lockdown and there have been locked downs in other states and territories including sydney. and there have been much sure to look downs in brisbin, adelaide and perth and in high bought as well. the northern territories currently has parts of this of the state in lockdown as well, which people, ah, is to do with carving, still spreading there. so people are protesting about a number of things. and it's also important to recognize that the purge,

as to some extent have been infiltrated by far right. far, right. political activists who are, you know, staging conspiracy theories as well among the protested. so it's a range of raisins that people are protesting here in australia. now who the rebels and the saudi led coalition fighting in yemen, say they have both launched major military operations, who these are claiming to have hit at bases oil installations in an airports across a number of cities while the saudi led coalition says it has launched attacks on more than a dozen targets in yemen, we spoke to raymond l. hm, danny, about this a researcher at the yemen policy center and arc group. he says, conflicts not escalating these attacks and retaliations show just how both sides are undermining each other's image of power. we've been seeing a lot of escalation on the ground and a lot of frontline changing in yemen. that basically has led to an intensification of airstrikes on to the capital city of santa and as well. and if occasion of

fighting along areas where there shouldn't have been recently, there has been basically violations of a, in the united nations, an agreement to basically allow the city what, what city of, of the data, which days in the western coast. we have an essentially leave that port city alone and allow it to be an access for all foods and goods into yemen. however, recently there have been shifts over those positions and the who these are now fighting western coast, west coast forces that are supported by the united arab emirates. as such, this has basically allowed the kingdom sarabia to help us and the air force is to back these battles over there, but nothing that's so significant. it's going to change the who the position in the north. and i think the so significant that's going to change the conflict. i think, i think there are very, very many requests that are coming out. now that's how you rate it does not want to continue its investment in the conflict in yemen, but rather move its investment to where it's protecting its borders. and so the more the who sees should balance or actually even claim, even though they may not have been attacking all these drones. it sounds good for

them because it makes it look a little weaker and it makes them look like they're in charge of the battle. a such the sad irradiance cannot be quiet when all these drone attacks continue to hit the civilian and non civilian infrastructure and sad to ravia. and so these are straits have done very little in the past to curtail the whole the spread. and i don't think they're going to do much to do so today in ethiopia, the construction of a hydroelectric dam on the blue nile is now more than 80 percent complete. it will be africa's largest hydro electric project when it's finished, but the $5000000000.00 mega project is caused tension with egypt and sudan for the down stream. it's been under construction for 10 years. out of there is a few bureau chief mohammad. the local has been given rare access to the sites and he has this update. they've been going, but if they're to, the north is the borderline with sudan, about 25 kilometers from here. construction and other walks underway as we speak, according to the project manager,

the 1st filling of the damn has yielded 18000000 cubic meters. this represents one quarter of the scheduled filling capacity. we also visited the 2 turbans that were installed within the facility, expect it to be launched next december. this by the tensions and if you work on the project has not been interrupted. as you see behind me. there is the main, damp and behind it, there exists the water health and it's the, this is of what is expected to hold 74000000000 cubic meters within the next 5 to 70. and it's known that the negotiations have come to a standstill and the filling of the damn was completed without the consent of the 2 downstream countries. egypt and sudan. the project manager also told us that 83 percent of the construction of the dams has been completed as of an opposition alliance in pockets on a staging, an anti government rally in the northwest and city of shower, demonstrating against the economic policies of prime minister marin comes

government. the cost of living is going up 35 percent since he took office in 2018 . more without correspondent son ben jeter was at the rally. hello! listen to focus on symmetrical policies in the opposition have gathered in the northern the city of shower. they are continuing their nation wide protests against inflation rise in slices of police commodities and the government. they say that it is the american government, which is responsible for what is happening in pakistan. they say it has failed. the people to focus on according to these leaders, the government is following the agenda and the policies of the international monetary fund and international organizations. rather than the interest of the pakistani people. although it is a coalition of a number of political bodies, but they have not been able to gather more than a few 100 people here. and this is what the government has been saying that these people have tried their hands of power before they fail to focus on the people as well. and it is the american government, which is going to bring about change. the government has launched the $700000000.00

program to provide relief to the people that it says that because of various international freshers, it is hard to increase prices. and as this back and forth between politicians continues that people continue to suffer because not has not seen inflation like this for the last 70 years. and the prices of basic commodities have been rising. people have been telling us that they are having to choose whether to send their children to school or put food on the table. the speaker of libby is house of representatives has officially registered as a presidential candidate for the long awaited elections next month. i get a santa led the eastern parliament since 2014. he now joins high profile candidates, including the wall or clay for hafta. and the son of mama qaddafi palestinian factions of condemned the u. k. his recent decision to designate all of hamas as a terrorist organization, leaders of the group of held an emergency meeting in garza calling the move direct

targeting and abuse of the palestinian people. his cause he hammered. i am us official who says he believes the british governments actually been manipulated into this decision. i think this is something very strange and something shook the, but it's government. they don't understand the situation very well. they don't understand that most became part of the political system. how much about the submitted and the democratic election, how much became a part of the day power hearing gaza. how about about this made it and dale organization a little dialogue, participate in the government. so i think that the british government, the reality explored that they are very still did not know anything about the situation here in the policy. and there it is. also i think the british government just received the big and the fall said for motion of from the show back and tell him the whole story about from us. we close to that is right as a new me and it will give this to prime minister,

which is the pro israel disappeared, is that i had to put the glass of israel and therefore get the policy. you know, people, this means that they forget all the crimes of israel, forget the, that the system with our, again this data law, confiscation of lands on against the national law. assistant agency john ga. gov. i think default get all the crime since the establishment of his way in 1948, till now. we'll get all the crimes. all of them are tickled all the violation of israel. i just for just focus on how much i change the british government if they have, when it proved that the hammers committed, any war crime or tourist action, how much just walking again, if your patient, how much just is working for liberation of our homeland, for the interest of our people for the end of the commission. so i think this is the shame and blackest bought in the face of the british government. they should be

shared really visual vision. a check on the world, whether is next. and then the future of sheila young people make their voices heard as the country hence towards its elections. ah hello welcome to look at the international forecast. we got some wet weather and some windy weather in the forecasts for parts of the middle east. northern parts, it has to be said, we are going to see some rather wet weather, just spilling off the mediterranean, pushing into levant, syria, lebanon jordan, all with a chance of seeing some wet weather at rain, making its way to the far north of saudi arabia. could see a spot or 2 of right into our errand, maybe even into queue weight as well. here in dough. harvard is going to set their temperatures here at around 31 degrees celsius, but let the shower was not too far away that will push away across northern parts

going to continue to do what they do and it's going to be more in trade and less in terms of trying to match with this more games mentality. in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on our g 0, lou ah, it with al jazeera, these on the top stories this our anger across europe of a new cove at 19 restrictions in austria's capital vienna members solve the far right freedom party stage to produce big demonstration also happening in the netherlands and in rome, thousands of people are rallying against the mandatory green pulse. that is,

a raft of deals between us companies from motorola to highway building company's infrastructure deals, big infrastructure deals worth a $1000000000.00 this morning. and then he met with women entrepreneurs. and then he, a he, he met with press mikey saw, who is now with next year, going to be the chair of the african union. during a press conference though he has mentioned, he had strong words against the situation into down with, with a cou. they're also calling for the russian private contract or company wagner's and that's in talks with them all in authorities. they're saying that outside actor is being involved in this hell, specifically, this company doesn't bode well for the future of molly. and you have to remember that in a booge, he made the seminal speech calling for the protection of democracy and democratic

institution. and this comes at a time where through, throughout africa we've seen a sweeping amounts of cruise fail cruise, but also successful codes. whether it been molly and giddy, and so there's a sense from the secretary secretary blinking that there needs to, to be more of a fostering of the democratic institution multilateralism. so that speech was made at echo, on the regional ball body for the west african region that has put sanctions on molly and guinea, ticklish of what he had to say about if we continue to push for an immediate and hostilities without pre conditions and humanitarian access for the millions of people in northern, if you're, if you who need life saving aid and we continue to urge americans to avail themselves of commercial flights out of the country. and we're providing assistance to them to do so. with regard to sudan, we deplore the violence that we seen from the security forces in recent days. that has to end the right of the sudanese people to protest peacefully must be protected

less mis information related to the coven vaccine, to ensure that people are well informed and feel safe to take those vaccines that will be mountain factored on the african continent. blink. and reiterated, it stands, it sees african countries not as a junior partner, but as an equal partner on the diplomatic global playing field. and that supports in the united states will support any advances towards the african solutions, the african problems, and that's what this pass. so institute in the injection of money towards that manufacturer of cove, it is all about come all nicholas hoc reporting from dot com. thank you. chili's elections this weekend. my dramatically changed the political landscape, new and young vices, a leading the opinion polls and that is energizing. some children's we don't usually bother to vote. a latin america edison, the senior man reports from santiago in district 8,

a working class area of santiago, young men and women, carry their political weapons to my pu plaza to launch their latest campaign for sundays. general elections. these letters spell corrupt the word frequently used to describe all to many chilion politicians and public servants about it. oh, that's the message and says, said label a 29 year old independent congressional candidate rehab. i'm gonna be looking over my main sponsor to young people between 18 and 25. they gathered the $2700.00 signatures and maybe to run for congress as the only independent candidate in the metropolitan area. it was an uphill battle labels allocated time for free television election. publicity was literally undetectable. shorter than a blink of an i will show you again, but young people in chile, especially in working class areas, don't watch mainstream tv. if cassandra,

paloma by laver is young and uses social networks and a style his generation understands migalia but um, hold on what a lot of somebody think of it. oh, my campaign mainly focuses on crop. should mean politics in the last one had to use public funds, make hiv warriors, experiencing phenomena. over the years, disenchantment with chiles. political institutions has prompted millions of young people to stay home on election day anger and frustration, especially among the poorest crew. ah, this boy over into mass protest 2 years ago, went to lance for a more equal society were led by young people. months of demonstrations, recalibrated chili's political landscape, putting social change on everyone's agenda. younger gayona, increasingly more young people are involved in politics. i believe they're the agent of change from i'm political but translating protests into political

participation, especially in low income areas, is still difficult to look into available. if not, that's what we tried to change in my neighborhood. we need them to see involvement as a representative resource for everyone. not just the privilege class of a previous. yeah. earlier this year, an unprecedented number of young people were elected as mares, especially women. and in this sunday's election, one of the 2 leading candidates is only 35 years old. gabrielle bought each a former student leader. if the trend stance people like these will be playing a decisive role in deciding who governs chilly for the next 4 years. the se in human now live in santiago for us to say, i said at the start of that pace that they were new and young faces leading in the opinion, polls. how much do we wanna trust the opinion? polls in chile has a very good idea, a very good question, rather because the opinion polls has been notoriously untrustworthy. however,

we are seeing the enthusiasm for younger candidates in this election, which is a general election, not just a presidential election. we are there or something like for one than $4400.00 candidates in all for the whole new congress that will have to be renewed. 100 percent and 50 percent of the senate. and many, many of those candidates, like the one you just saw in my story, are extremely young. and that's only possible because of the enthusiasm that ordinary people have for changing that generations of, of old politicians, many of whom now will not even be able to run for reelection because of a new law that limits the amount of times that they can keep running over and over again and see how much of a factor is covered in the selection, not just in policies and decisions, but also in the actual act of going to vote. we don't know that for sure yet. and that's because since the last election, which took,

took place in winter here during a very high peak in coven infections there, the infection rate has gone down. the number of vaccinations has increased more than 90 percent of the population. most people over the age of 40 of already received, in fact, a 3rd jab. so that made bring out a lot of elderly people who stayed home last time. they tend to vote also massively in large numbers, and there are very, very large numbers of people over the age of 70 in this country. so that may or could make a big difference in the, in the outcome because there isn't any really established or predictable way to say that they will vote, but it should make a difference. thank you to say in human, in santa younger the united states has calling on china to prove the tennis play upon she. why is actually ok, she hasn't been seen since accusing a high ranking politician of sexually assaulting her amera. chandry has our report . she's china's most successful tennis dollars, a former doubles world, number one,
