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. vaccine 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 her right will guestroom is a strong ah, less people are election aid it and more people get the ill. so you'll 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 as gather to show their anger at the cove. at 19 restrictions, one commentator told al jazeera he's not surprised. at the protests,

citing general skepticism of 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 long down in bavaria in southern germany. it's the last weekend before a local lockdown for the unvaccinated. the countries health minister says a 4th wave of infections is so serious that a national lockdown can't be ruled out. and as police just at 1st click the alice dick it had the politicians organize this more strictly, we would have avoided this worsening situation with intensive care units being isolated. i think it's absolutely writing high time to react manhood with inc and oppression all. and ultimately will no longer free honesty. if you ask me i'm convinced mandatory vaccinations will be introduced while in northern italy. 3 ski slopes have opened up for the 1st time since march 2020 everyone has to show

a journalist with the australian broadcasting corporation and explains what's driving these demonstrations. there are range of things that are being protested about around the country. today is certainly the biggest day that we've seen for protesters around australia. and we had protest in almost every state and territory home 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 stole, 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 loss. which means people who are currently on vaccination won't be able to

continue working. and the other thing that many people are protesting about are locked downs. now. here in australia, melbourne dude. south of the longest lockdown and there have been locked down in other states and territories, including sidney. and there have been much sure to lock downs in brisbin adelaide and perth, and in high bought as well. it's also important to recognize that the pros, 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 protesters. so it's a range of reasons that people are protesting here in australia or b to norman is a professor of security studies at kings college, london, joseph via skype from brussels. and we wanted to focus specifically on the demonstrations that we have seen in europe, particularly in austria, little bit in germany and also the netherlands. how strong is the far right presence at these protests that we are seeing that oppose government measures to to

cov administrations? well, it depends. it differs from country to country. in germany, for example, there was a survey that showed that about 15 percent of the demonstrators can be counted as fall, right? in austria, i think it's been a bit stronger. and i think certainly the far right is trying to dominate, trying to capitalize upon these protest, trying to find a new topic in this. and so they are trying to capture the moment and trying to, to steer and direct this movement. and are they, are they managing to succeed? have we seen the far right gain more supporters as a result of, of coming into contact with more anti corona virus protest as well. they're certainly seeing this as the big new topic after migration has faded in importance in many countries. um,

and it's certainly true that other than the far right. a lot of people at these demonstrations and rallies, at least in europe, are not necessarily traditional far right. supporters, their naturalists, their homeopath, this they are people believing in natural cures. there are people who've never been training demonstration at all. and i think what the far right is trying to do is trying to steer them into their movement and trying to, to instrument lives them in order to support their cause. to what extent they're supporting, to what extent there's succeeding in doing that. we will have to see if i difficult to define isn't it a sort of complex patch? what curve far, right nationalists, anti access libertarians. and then conspiracy theorists who seemed to to all be opposed to these government restrictions to cobb the, the corona virus survey, a managed to find some common ground with each other because it, well, suddenly,

and i think what unites them all is a complete sense of distrust towards the government. so the far right is obviously not believing a word. the government says a lot of the people at the demonstrations obviously don't believe anything the government says. so it's that lack of trust in the government, the lack of trust in institutions that fuel the rise of conspiracy theories. and that the far right is hoping that, that it will convince these people to support them. and ultimately the solution to this is for the government to overcome that lack of trust, but that doesn't seem to be forthcoming at this point in time. why is that lack of trust, perhaps most prevalent? is there a particular profile in terms of i don't know whether it's young man or anyone that is feeling quite alienated by the uncertainty around cove. it in the effect it has on businesses and employment?

well, we haven't seen that kind of study yet. it would be really interesting to conduct that kind of survey just looking at the demonstrations and having attended a couple of them. i think it's a real broad mix up the population. i couldn't make out any particular type of person that would be attracted to this. i think it's pretty much normal people and i think a very important role is also played by the internet by the fact that there's a lot of this information out there on the internet that people don't trust traditional sources of information that they say they are doing the research on their own, and they're going on websites, they're going on youtube. they're watching videos all night that are not from credible sources. thank you very much for joining us, peter neu, man, professor of security studies at kings college london. thank you. you with the news, our lie from london still i had for you on the program

o a police station in through dawn is that a light will have the latest on the protest there that are demanding a transition to civilian room. also tell you why a new video missing tennis player pang chalet isn't putting women's 10 associations worries at ease and the world's best tennis player, novak jokers, which is told that he must get vaccinated if he is to defend his title. but the australian open, ah, now you are secretary of say, antony blink and has pledged more development assistance to africa. as he wrapped up his 5 day tour of the continent, lincoln ended his visit in santa galway. he expressed consent for the stability of neighboring marley, which is experienced to cruise in the last 18 months ill to highlight and us

efforts to help senegal manufacture it's uncovered vaccines. and there is nicholas hoc has more on being can visit from the car, best workplace that a secretary lincoln's parting idea before he heads back to washington. d. c is a message to the african continent that the united states remains a partner to african countries. this is a break from the previous administrations where many africans had of states felt that the white house in the previous administration treated them with contempt. on his visit in kenya, he addressed the ethiopian crisis, calling for an immediate cease fire. of the people who suffer are the people and we have to make sure that they are getting the assistance they need and of the fighting ceases. and the, the talking starts in nigeria, he made a seminal speech calling for the defense of democracy and democratic values saying

that africans should not be treated as junior partners, but as equal partners on the global diplomatic playing field. now these are strong words from the secretary of states who's trying to re establish relationships. here in the car, he spoke in french, signed a raft of deals between u. s. companies and the government here infrastructure deals. and whilst he didn't mention china by word, he alluded to chinese investments, ensuring that american investments would not put african countries in debt. here in the presto institute, that blinkin said that the united states will continue to help the manufacturing of covert vaccine. right here on the continent, only 2 percent of people in africa are vaccinated, and that's a concern, not just to people here in senegal or in the african continent. but that's an issue globally. we moved to sit on our police station as court fire during the latest

round of demonstrations there. ah, people are demanding justice for those killed and a handover of power to a civilian government of the army chief took control of the country last month. at least 40 people have been killed since the military take over it, but morgan brings us more from the capital har. tim police have been saying that despite most of the pros has been people some, some of the protests of have been attacking police properties on public properties and it looks like this is one of the scenarios. however, some of the professors from north, where this fully station was burned, those professors who we speak, we have spoken to say that they were not involved in the burning of the station. and that it was the police themselves who said the station on, on fire to lay the blame on processors. now this is the 3rd day that hard to north is witnessing confrontation between the police and professors. they have been

sending the barricades on main roads, many roads. it would been there was an actual neighborhoods, and police have been responding using tear gas and live immunization up to late hours over the past 3 days. now, this is our angry following the death of hello demonstrators. the 17th to me, north, let's not, let's not forget to not is the area that for the most amount of that on, on november 17th, at least 10 people being killed with the others being killed here in the city and undermine. now people are mobilizing for more pros as they're saying that they're going to continue to voice their anger, not just at the military takeover, but the fact that security forces have been using excessive, brutal force to response the processes for a large anom and have been very peaceful. now you got as president to saying those behind tuesday, suicide bombings, income. paula must surrender or be killed. president, your work was 70 address the nation for the 1st time since the attacks left for people dead and 33 injured security forces shot and killed 5 suspects and arrested

. another 21 in connection with the attacks. catherine sawyer has more on the south explosion on tuesday happened. he had an avenue they close to parliament building and other government offices as well. but the big impact with cells and buildings along this route. life is slowly coming back to normal and owner of the properties here, beginning to repair their damage to properties. another attack happened near the central police station, so police hello since this incident, and they have been carrying out increasingly patrols in different neighborhoods in the city center as well. they say they have arrested several people to the miners and have shot down 5 people who are trying to resist the arrest. they accuse a local paragon who are working or affiliated with like democratic forces. this is a rubber based in the democratic republic of congo. thousands of people have been

killed. 5 is a group, so police say that now they are recruiting after the young ugandans here. the president has ever been talking about this incident phase that his government has increased the bayman my others for with this to idea it doesn't. yeah. was on a sunday on the 7th themselves was the procedure to do whatever it will do with this. a cat comes off the back of fly this last month, one at a restaurant. and another one about 30 kilometers away all have been claimed by i fell on behalf of its administrative division calls are the central african province, which is also say to have linked with adf. this also comes at

a time when the military is planning to deploy its soldiers to the democratic republic of congo, to help the police forces and the un fight adf. now both for who's the rebels and saudi led coalition fighting, and yemen, say they've launched major military operations. the who sees a timing to hit bases, oil inflations, and an airport, and a number of saudi cities. while the saudi coalition is saying it's launched attacks on more than a dozen and targets inside yemen. double got rid of money, call it very up. we targeted king call it base in re up with for some mud 3 drones . we also share the number of targets within the king abdullah international airport in gender. we also targeted our core refineries and get done with other for some to drones. we also this through the critical military installation at a behind their national airports using once a month, 3 drone. other military targets were sheldon of hi jayson and john using 5 costs of

2 k drones. the total number of drones used in the operation amounted to 14. the many armed forces reiterate their capacity to carry out further offensive against both the saudi and the enemies within the limits of our local rights to defend our people and homeland noble palestinian factions of condemn the case decision to designate all of her mass a terrorist organization leaders of the group of held an emergency meeting and garza, they say the move is a direct targeting and abuse of the palestinian people. the military wing of last is already prescribed by the u. k as a terrorist organization. or how's the, how much is math official and says he believes that british government was manipulated into taking the decision. i think this is something good and very strange and there is something shook there that the british government there don't understand the situation very well. they don't understand that commerce became part of the political system, hamas participated and they have

a democratic election. hamas became a part of the day of power hearing garza habash participated in dialog additional lily dialogue participate in the government. so i think that the british government, the reality explored that there are various to be there did not 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 shall barker. and they tell him the whole story about i'm as we close to that is right as enemy. and they will give a prime minister with she 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 the full you all the crimes of his royal forget the that the system is, are against the international law, confiscation of laws against the international law. assassination. see june garza, i think, default get all the crime sincere establishment of israel. 1948 till now for all

the crimes. all of them are sick of all the violation of israel, and just for just focus on how much i challenge the british government if they have when to prove that hammers committed, any war crime or tourist action. how much just walking against occupation, how much just is working for liberation of our homeland, for interest of our people for end of their completion. so i think this is the shame and blackest boat in the face of the british government. there should be shame, really, there should be sion. now in our stories are falling members of an opposition allies in pakistan of staging an anti government rally in the northwest. that if the shower a demonstrated against the economic policies of iran cons, government and rising inflation. the cost of living in the country has gone up by 35 percent since contact office in 2018 a correspond. it's either in john's 8 was at the rally. hello. listen to focus on

continues that people continue to suffer. microsoft 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're having to choose whether to send their children to school or put food on the table now to lebanon, where people are struggling to pay for medicines after the government cut subsidies on some drugs. country is already in a severe economic crisis if not collapse. and as a honda reports from the capital a route as seems no sign of a way out. i will the how much is a diabetic who needs continuous medical care, but this 75 year old can no longer afford it. lebanon began gradually lifting subsidies on drugs a few months ago, but now they include those for chronic diseases. wagner, marcia, yes, i am state employee, and my pension is not enough to pay for the medicines i need to hug. oh yeah. we

deprived of health care. and the share of those unable to buy medicines has increased to more than half lebanese officials are being criticized for failing to protect the poor. by making essential goods like medicine, more expensive by lifting subsidies, but the state is nearly bankrupt and lacks the foreign currency needed to import drugs. the health ministry says $130000000.00 was being spent on medical supplies a month. and that's now down to 35000000 the international community has been helping with 8, but it's limited. we charter special aircraft earlier this week and flew in 97 metric tons worth of basic supplies to help i'm to shore up the public system. but this will only last so long. we're seeing children dying needlessly from things like a fever. they didn't have the medications or they weren't affordable for them. they
