a new government is his top priority. i'm natasha bottler in brussels. where 5 bi racial women who say their room doctor from their families, and a belgian colonial rule, suing the state. awe, thanks for joining as much of europe appears to be back where it was at the beginning of the pandemic. their record high infection, numbers locked dance are in place and many governments are struggling to contain a resurgence virus. the world health organization says it's concerned. austria has imposed a full nationwide lockdown. the 1st you country to do so. people are only allowed to leave their home for groceries. doctors visits and exercise in germany. hospitals are running out of intensive care. bet it care unit beds, chance the angler merkel says the restrictions in pace now simply are not enough.

health minister is urging more citizens to get vaccinated if you had them ended jesus been to us probably by the end of this winter. pretty much everyone in germany at some time being said so much simply, what has been vaccinated recovered or have died? it's true with a highly contagious delta variance. this is very, very like the and the netherlands. i've seen a 3rd night of violence against new restrictions. 5 police officers were injured and 40 people arrested across several dutch cities under simmons in vienna, with more on the lockdown in austria ro here the central valley. you can see a lot of people taking a stroll and taking advantage of that clause in the lockdown to exercise and so on . but know there's a real mood of anger in some places that this locked down has happened. so late with the figures of a current of ours infections increasing, hovering around the 14260000 sort of number per day. and this is

increased from the hundreds in the summer and around $3000.00 back in october, which, which really does lend itself to a lot of concern. you'll see that the, the christmas lights are on. but the stores are shots that lead to all this the christmas shopping being canceled. the christmas fan as are also shut down and across the country we're seeing increases in the number of patients in the intensive care units. certainly in salzburg, the situation is really serious. now this will go on for 10 days. minimum people feel it will go to the maximum of 20 days or even more than that because of the situation. furthermore, in february, the government is introducing compulsory vaccinations. this is really the, the, the worst case in europe when the, in the,

in the situation with uptake on the vaccines and simmons in vienna. and domini kane is in berlin, where he says the emphasis is on vaccination health. menissi enchant saying effectively that he believes that at the end of this winter, people will either have caught cove it and, and recovered from it being vaccinated or died from it. pretty dire warnings there . we also know that angle immacule the can take a chancellor has been saying to people in her, in a circle of ministers and colleagues that she just doesn't, she believes that the measures in place right now aren't enough. the problem in a nutshell is that there are around 15000000 adults in germany who have not had the vaccine. now that number will include some who recovered from having cove it and have to wait to have the, the, the jap, the vast majority of that number contains people who until now, despite having the really easy access to a vaccine for effectively,

the last 6 months of chosen not to those of the people that ministers are beseeching almost to get vaccinated and yet they still won't in several states around this country. the uptake of the vaccine is lagging behind the national average in one particular wanted saxony. it's far below the average, the average here, 2 thirds of people have been vaccinated, but it's pretty clear that governments both the can't take a government and the parties who are negotiating each other to replace this government to replace angular michael's government. they're all deeply concerned now and the us public health workers, the quitting their jobs after facing harassment for their role in crone of eyes restrictions. at the same time, more than half of old states are creating laws to reduce measures such as mosque wearing high diesel, castro reports. travis gales was serving as the top health official of montgomery county, maryland,

when the covey 19 pandemic arrived. his mission was simple. in regard to the counties, 1000000 residents keep them all and to come from dive as hospitals across the us filled with patients suffering from koby 19 gales, recommended businesses in schools close and for everyone to wear masks, the policies were restrictive, but worked to keep cases low in the community, in this liberal suburb of washington, d. c, was supportive gail says, but then came signs of impatience while things became more political. the discussion moved from. hi good morning. here's where our cases are. here's what the test positivity rate is and those kinds of things to while things are different, why can't we do this activity and why is this particular thing close and why is this jurisdiction open and why are we open? gail says he also received a threat in e mail. shared with al jazeera guild was called a power hungry loser and an enemy of the people and will be dealt with accordingly

. when i would leave the office, i would try to park in different places and i would take different routes home because, you know, quite frankly, i was concerned about someone following me. public health officials all over the country have reported similar experiences or worse, exhausted from long hours of work than targeted by members of their own communities for recommending unpopular. but life saving mandate. a year and a half into the pandemic. hundreds have called it quits and we just can't have people on public surface being threatened for doing their jobs. marilyn state, senator wrong young has proposed me seeking threatening a public health worker a crime. but the trend in most of the country has been the opposite. with lawmakers in 32 states, introducing 100 new laws to restrict public health actions, citing freedom of choice and making it harder to enforce mask and vaccine mandates . happening to a great extent because a politic, i mean,

if we can't trust and believe people that are experts in the field who were bad shape. it's feared the backlash against pandemic restrictions has left the us less prepared for the next pandemic. gales for one is among the public health officers who have resigned. he leaves behind a county that with his early push, now has among the highest vaccination rates in the country. but that still has a name to his replacement. heidi joe castro al jazeera silver spring, maryland and other world news. the president of bella rule says the confrontation with poland over the board of high says could lead to war. alexander lucas shank is waiting for, for an answer from the you on whether the block will accept 2000 stranded refugees and migrants from the bell russian side. though the shank has warned germany to either take in some of the migrants or he will deal with them himself that boston has more on lucas shank as remarks from the village of rosky on the bella roost,

poland or but he's increasing his rhetoric against europe in union saying that he's going to deal with them himself, not knowing what that's going to mean for all these people here in this camera around 2000 people here. and this is sort of seen as a last effort by look, i'm going to put pressure on you to accept the people here in this town because that would be seen as a victory for him in this what you has called an august rates of michael crisis that is, the result of that you put sanctions on him are for he is been accused of falsifying his reelection. but what does it mean for these people to you have called them weapons in the hybrid war, but the people here and increasingly in your condition. so the situation is really running out of fine here, and it seems that look, just putting this brush up one more time to make sure that you're going to accept them. but also on the back door we see that we have evidence of that. people are

also being slowly been removed to meant to go back to iraq soon to come to where they came from. and john hall is falling developments from the polish ton of be stuck. what is very clear that the at least overtly the scale and urgency of the crisis diseased in recent days, that is clear. although public border guards report continued nightly attempts to cross the border by much smaller groups, people wandering up down the borderline, looking for vulnerable points, allegedly acting with the help of the belushi border guard, some repelled, of course some don't get through some a push back controversially, by the polish border guards on the side, others do make it through small numbers perhaps and confined themselves, wondering vast tracts of far forest land for days on end hungry and in freezing, cold temperatures. 11 people we have died. well, the ponies prime minister, mateusz motivated ski, has said that he doesn't believe this crisis is entirely over. in fact,

he fears that all of this in the last few weeks may have been a prelude to something much worse, pointing particularly at the russian military build up on the east and border of ukraine and 55 percent of polls. indeed, believe that things could yet escalate out of control, all of which suggests that poland, heavy handed resistance of its borders pushing back and resisting unarmed migrants and refugees would have played very well with public opinion here. even as the prime minister warned that this could yet go on for months to come. for don, reinstated, prime minister has promised the path to democracy in an exclusive interview with al jazeera adela. hum, don ques, release from house race and he's back in his position after signing a deal with the military hum dock. with out nearly a month ago, when the army chief ceased power and his old, his cabinet explained what the new government will eventually look like. as he spoke exclusively to al jazeera and fickle associate, feel her comin,

read him in the cold concept of the upcoming government is that it will be a technocratic government made up of sudanese, qualified professionals who then about with one and a half years are left out the transitional period, the whole, the upcoming government, according to me, should focus on very specific issues, chiefly the completion of transition into a democracy. and it's related obligations like the convenience of the constitutional conference. i'm holding the elections. you all know that the elections were required. one full year at least, may drag on for one and a half years. i hope we can all agree on an independent government that can crites during the remaining time of the transitional period. where as government would lead the country until the scheduled elections go, when assessing has developed a new party, new cannady. this is a key part of the political agreement. we saw. you said was that the prime minister

should have the power and authority to form an independent technocratic government in absolute liberty and without any pressure. this is what we sign the agreement for and with a concert, if he has a model. and then i'd like to speak, frankly, i don't have any personal ambitions to remain a figurehead or to join a particular party or group or to gain higher popularity. i'm all driven by the responsibility placed on my shoulder. i'm guided only by the ambitions and hopes of the 3rd and his people. therefore, i have made up my mind and science political agreement. although i know that many may disagree objective or rejected simply because the people's ambitions and aspirations were much higher than the moment. however, i signed it and i read to read that i do not have any personal game. otherwise i wouldn't have accepted the office and the 1st blaze with all my challenges over the

past 2 years. the issue of personal gain does not worry me at all. i believe the decision i made is correct and to the best interests of the people. that's why i went forward and signed the political agreement. and in about 30 minutes or so you can watch a fall interview with food on 3 say the prime minister. hum dock right here on alger there is talk to you here at $1430.00 g m t less part of that deal. several political prisoners have also been released him. morgan has more from carter when the letter took over. happened in october in late october several political figures including senior government officials, were arrested after the agreement signed between prime minister and general hon. all these political figures will be released, but only for so far haven't released including a leading figure in the party. and the head of the niece congress party 2 major opposition. parties that are part of the forces of freedom and change coalition.

then there's also the secretary general of the bass party, as well as the advisor, the political advisor to prime minister dog. there are other senior official figures, however, who have not been released, including the former spokesperson of the sovereignty council, who is also a member of the democratic union party. he is yet to be released, while for many protest seems to take over their demand was very clear. they said that they don't want any negotiations with the military. they also don't want any compromise and they don't want any agreement that would give the military any sorts of legitimacy for many of them, especially those who we spoke to yesterday. and this morning. they say that the idea that prime minister have signed an agreement with the military agreed to return. that's the big betrayal. especially because at least 40 people have been killed and more than 200 people have been injured in the near month period of that take over from many people. the fact that the military is still part of the picture that is anger and them, they're already calling for more protest in the coming days. thing that now it's not just $100.00, they're coming up against, but also prime minister. hum doke. still ahead on al jazeera, i will tell you why

a massive infrastructure project you need administered kashmir is causing controversy. killing fire like candidate horse antonio cast leads the presidential vote, but his face, you run off with a former student leader. ah ah. a lot of rain once again in thailand. now this is the satellite picture of what has happened. it doesn't look particularly extraordinary if you look at the forecast all this orange really from bangkok, science was in southern southern, southern me amount was plenty malaysia suggest more, very heavy, right? a little bit out of season really. so, flooding is quite likely. same is true and a repeat performance in western bonia and more likely in java because not far away from jobs, a tropical depression revolving and the change of seasons taking place very

obviously in east asia, the cold, really flooded through. so if you look at the time she's not in hong kong time. shanghai is happening, beijing about right, a little bit low. so maybe minus 7 in hub in the cold air across the japan mean snow shows for the mountains this to see no, this is new delhi, but it represents anywhere, any city in northern india, nepal, pakistan where quality is low, pool hazardous and remains that way. doesn't stir it up, the reins further south of doing what it's supposed to do. now it's more case, it should be raining insur lanka towel. now do not so much for the note as it has done recently, but that this is the case briefly the gulf states because he a bit of a shamar with a few light shells on tuesday and the small heat blowing ah, in the country with an abundance of results,

that he is the man for the future. even though he still defends the legacy of chills, former military dictatorship law. when a guy can make no mistake, he only candidacy that offers an alternative to recovery piece do away with crime and stop terrorism is mine will recover the country that we've lost. 35 year old left us congressman gabrielle bodies came in a close 2nd, assuring he 2 will go into a 2nd round. he proposes deep structural reforms for more inclusive economic, social, and political system that includes grappling chiles, private pension funds, and raising taxes for the super rich. give you a no call in a long live young people who want to change the world. and our elders who have so much to teach us hope will overcome fear. but each leads a left wing coalition that includes the communist party and many are afraid that means veering too far left. thinking about that either our life depends on

selection bias. if we're going straight towards venezuela, coven marxism, female exit. today we don't have a generic pin attempt to save us. our only hope is cassette we get name of going back. but there are many others, like 33 year old clunker said needed a day who cast his ballad, remembering that he was forced to work at an early age, and that his parents can't survive on their tiny pensions without a huge bug build the killer play the selection will change the destiny of the country, which is why we took to the streets to go for social change to renew our political season once and for all members of yearly body and body. jose antonio got this election could be described as a battle between a revolution, a social revolution represented by and a counter revolution embodied by cast bull, candidates could not have more dramatically opposing visions for till his future. and in the middle of all, this are chillies, traditional political parties,

which seem to have become irrelevant. both contenders need to appeal to those who voted for other candidates, but more importantly to the millions of chileans who didn't bother to vote at all in the 1st round. the only predictable thing now is that the next 4 weeks will harold in a fierce political battle for the heart and soul of this country. i see in human al jazeera santiago fountains, parliament is said to examine crimes committed during the countries colonial era. some mp says it's time to confront atrocities committed in congo. brody and rhonda accord in brussels is considering a lawsuit brought by 5 women who say they were abducted from their families by belgian colonial authorities. natasha butler has a story from brussels. the photo shows les tavares as a child in congo in the 1950s. what it doesn't reveal though, is her suffering and pain layer was born on the belgian colonial rule to a white,

portuguese father and black congolese mother. but mixed race, couples were forbidden, and their children were considered a threat to white supremacy. so one layer was 2 years old. belgian police seized her from her home and placed her in a catholic institution, far away, severing her from her family. and play. can deposit on cassandra mamma on play when we thought about our mothers, we cried all to their want. their mothers found we wanted their mother's warmth on, but she wasn't. there had mom layer is one of 5 by racial women now suing the belgian state for crimes against humanity and seeking compensation says occasion of what we want. the belgians day to do is explain why they abducted us from our families and mistreated us why they took away our rights and cut us off from our roots and the world. so baskets at dinner campaign, a se, tens of thousands of children were torn from their families in belgium's colonies. the span today's, the asi,

rwanda and burundi. some were placed in orphanages. others was shipped to belgium. jacqueline goldberg was 3 when she arrived in belgium and was put up for adoption of to being snatched from her mother's arms. in rwanda, she runs an association for other so called stone and children, they are connected. she says by their loss, trauma and broken identities. celeste, so it is an enormous loneliness in your heart. you don't know who you are. it was racism. it was dividing races to maintain a hierarchy that was not to be challenged us. but in 2019 belgium's government apologized for the systematic segregation and abduction of biracial children. a year later it set up a commission to examine the country's colonial history in the wake of black lives matter protests. richard miller, the commissions goal is to hail a wound. of course our lawyers be a scar, but if we don't treat this wound, it'll lead to more of the racism and discrimination we can see in belgium today. so

in most woocommerce for layer the government's apology isn't enough. she wants answers reparations and for future generations to better understand the abuses of belgium's colonial past. taking the state to court hasn't been easy, but after decades of silence layer hopes for justice. natasha butler. i'll jazeera brussels, is justin from the u. s. and present joe biden has re nominated jerome powell as head of the federal reserve for a 2nd 4 year term. is one of the most important economic policy decisions of biden's presidency. let's bring in our white house correspondent, kimberly hawk it in washington committee. so present biting, choosing continuity. ah, it appears that is exactly what joe biden is looking for for the chair of the federal reserve. and that's why he has nominated for a 2nd term, a 4 year term jerome powell, to lead the federal reserve. he says that in

a statement released by the white house just a few moments ago, that the reason that he wanted to keep him in place was the fact that he helped to steer the american economy during the worst downturn in modern american history. and this will allow the united states to really be on a road to recovery. and so he was impressed not only with his experience, his resume, his credentials, but the fact that it was really able to demonstrate his agility in terms of monetary policy. with respect to the fact that the united states during the pandemic experience one of the worst contractions in its history. so the u. s. president not only impressed with the credentials but also the philosophy philosophy, given the fact that the u. s. prisoners put fighting climate change as a priority of his administration believes that it has an economic link, an impact. and he says that jerome powell shares this view. so now we know that

this is something that the president is moving forward on this ends months. some speculation this will have to be confirmed by the u. s. senate. and what we can also say is that there are going to be a lot of challenges ahead because the united states is dealing with inflationary pressures right now, as well as supply chain issues. and so this appointment is going to be very, very crucial as you, as fries to move forward out of some of those challenges. kimberly, thank you very much for that. kimberly hock at live at the white house in to india now, or the government is building the last of major a for alpha major 4 major tunnels in indian administered kashmir. official sate will be the countries long as pass for vehicles. they'll connect areas that are usually cut off during winter time, but as part of me, me tar reports, a project has proven controversial, highly emiliano. these men are building a tunnel in freezing temperatures. and in some of the worlds toughest to read is very, very challenging. no, the temperature is going out into diggity. i'm got expertise that m brazil goes
