forming a new group to investigate new f o sightings. now the world health organization is wanting that hundreds of thousands more people will die. as a new wave of the korean of our sweeps across europe, germany is set to mark a 100000 deaths as it hits a new record of more than 66800 cases. the netherlands is also introducing new restrictions. social distance thing is set to become compulsory again there and over in france, 30000 people have tested positive over the past 24 hours. the 1st time since august, the dean baba reports in paris. the festive displays grabbing the eye, but so a french covered 19 rates a month before christmas. it's beginning to look a lot like late august the last time the number of weekly new cases went past 200 per 800000 people are told real van off. they told me go look to day. we're

announcing $30000.00 curved cases of the last 24 hours. is a major increase in infections that shows if it was needed in any way that we are indeed in the midst of a 5th wave of the pandemic. well, for a bit felons urging people to get vaccinated and have booster shots across the european union, 67.7 percent of the population is fully vaccinated, but rates vary widely between countries. and the world health organization says there's growing evidence protection against infection and mild disease is declining . it once a vaccine plus approach. combining vaccinations with measures such as face mask wearing, claiming more than a $160000.00 lives could be saved if mast coverage of 95 percent was achieved. daily covered related death across the you have reached nearly $4200.00, nearly double the level 2 months ago. in germany, the latest 24 hour figure was $335.00 deaths. a new infections are at a record high at nearly 67000. the w h chose warning the by march,

they'll be high or extreme stress in intensive care units in almost all the 53 countries that comprise it. europe region of this hospital may cologne, like in many places, covered patients needing intensive care, a mainly younger unvaccinated people that have it through net men, euro. we have increasingly got younger people in intensive care. the amount of time they're treated is significantly longer and it blocks intensive care pads for longer period when they're not available for the care of other patients. and only some german politicians are now advocating compulsory vaccination at least for specific professions. austria is already announced cove jobs will be compulsory for every one from february of the countries just returned to a full national lockdown. the measures of seen a large increase in demand at the largest vaccination center here in vienna. meanwhile, as cases rise sharply in the netherlands, they've started transferring corona virus patience to germany, to ease pressure on dutch hospitals. nadine barbara al jazeera,

i mean ran protesters and a french overseas territory of guadalupe, have burned cars and set up barricades and a protest there against covered 19 measures anger over restrictions imposed as stud longstanding grievances over poverty and inequality. in the region. vaccination rates remain low with less than half the population inoculated against the corona. virus, french president emanuel micron said the crisis was explosive, but has promised to contain the situation. on south korea, meanwhile, is reporting record highs in the number of new cove at 19 cases and critically ill patients. that's after it started easing restrictions this month. nearly 80 percent of the population has been fully inoculated. frankly has more the south korean government east cove at 19 restrictions less than a month ago. but on wednesday, official say they may consider re imposing some rules. the number of new cases and seriously ill patients is rising across the country. daily infections reached

a record 4100 on tuesday, and nearly 70 percent of beds in intensive care units are now occupied all units and cancel a major factor that has contributed to the increasing number of cases. and that has made the hospital bed utilization rate a bit worse, is the increasing number of infections in the elderly senior citizens were the 1st to be na, collated earlier this year. and health officials say part of the reason infections are rising is because their immunity is waning. the government says it will give them booster shots. what the government is trying to do at this point is to i am the deployment of booster shots, especially among the most vulnerable as quickly as possible. there are increasing testing, especially in congregate resident. so all settings but just a nursing homes and our long term care facilities. officials are also conducting

tests and trace operations. after more than $200.00 people tested positive for cove at 19, at a church in the city of china. a tribute from the wonderful timesheet in the morning, the central disaster and safety countermeasure headquarters reported that around 91.4 percent of the confirmed cases from shannon were unvaccinated under the increase in infection. so soon after restrictions were lift, it will be a blow to many. but although the numbers rising there, some relief that at about 35 a day, the number of deaths remains relatively low. florence louis al jazeera, now moving on and leaders of 3 german political parties have agreed to form a coalition government following 2 months of torques. olaf sholtes is now set to take over as chancellor early next month. this will be the 1st at 3 way coalition government in nearly 70 years and germany dominic heinous. following developments in berlin. we know the broad strokes about what has come out of this,

the policies that each party really cares about what they've trying to achieve. so for the social democrats, while they're gonna have the chancellor, olaf shots in all likelihood within the next 10 days or so is going to be ratified and voted in in parliament. and that will therefore vote out angular michael from her position. so the social democrats will, they get him as chancellor, they get 6 or 7 other cabinet posts, and they get their key pledge that mr. shots referred to in the campaign and afterwards raising the minimum wage in this country. well, that's going to happen. the greens will, they're going to get control of a powerful new ministry, the economy ministry, which will be boosted and become a combatant climate change ministry as well. and the free democrats, the center right party called the liberals here in germany, will they yet the finance ministry and 3 other key ministries in the new cabinet.

one caveat here, this has got to be voted on by the respective parties internally, but they are all sounding as if they think that's pretty much a done deal. so we're looking at the possibility of this coalition called the traffic light coalition because of the colors of the parties taking office. perhaps at the start of the week after night. by agreeing this new coalition, they are effectively consigning angular michael's kristian democrats to opposition . and in that metaphorical opposition where they lick their wounds, those conservatives will realize that they are able to really make things difficult for this new traffic like coalition in the other house of parliament. and that matters in germany because this bicameral situation you have here. if they, if this new coalition can't get its way through the other house apartment, that makes real problems politically. oh, easier pin prime minister are the auth. ned says he's heading to the front line to lead his troops and battle as the fighting between the government and rebels

escalates. the 2 grand rebels have pushed into m hora and afar regions, and also down a major road running to the capital, addis ababa to weigh in. forces took control of dessie and culture earlier this month. now can both sits on a supply line linking the landlord nation to the port city of debussy. and then last week, rebels claim to have captured it. show a robot that's just about 200 kilometers from the capital on gymnast samuel gets a true brings us the latest now from out of out of them will look good to lose the spokesperson of the ethiopian government. the header for convocation services, here are the some of our said, the prime ministers in the battle ground, giving leadership, and really fighting for the subway. well, he said of, if you're there are many people that are joining the call for the prime minister following in his footsteps, including a long p n. i like arrested last a successful businessman and id silva. us were last part of the enders who into

mccully at the just before the conflicts begun. seeing if this can be resolved in a more peaceful way. but again, the prime minister is indeed in the birth of the ground. he said that on monday night and i was expected to happen and there he is in the back of the ground fighting what he terms a terrorist organization. that's his tpm, that's mr. arlene is the co founder and chairman of the horn international institute for strategic studies. he wants a more instability across the one of africa region if ethiopia descends into civil war. a kind of similar gambled when child in ben tried in precedent. it was debbie, went to the front lines and he lost his life even when the actually defeated the rebels in china. and so what is risking his life and he's also risky,

the life of those that are going to be alongside him. so, and, but i think the calculation here from obese administration is that because the t or, and then many other groups confiding around he sees it fits as part of psychological operations and to inspire other europeans to join their routes and fight of b, e d, f. to fight this war and to and to push back the t grams. if you're a huge country with a population of 112000001 east. if this country descends into anarchy, then we're going to have a huge problem of stability in the entire host, africa, with so many refugees, really and then usual refugees that we've come to, you know, we'll go to south g, t and other places already. the horn is very unstable. we've done the reason that

i'm still disintegrating on updating ground there. now the last thing that the return wishes to have is a disintegrate. and if you and the west interests are going to really just go up. conflicts of tele had here on out a turkish layer. nosedive is about present on remains defiant in his so called war economic independence to successfully overcome if virus a treat pot strategic can help and opposition lead and exile compassion. russian government to a virus, said ana to call us guy and joins me here live on al jazeera after the bank. ah, ah, look forward to brighter skies. the weather sponsored my cattle

poor air quality in the north of indian napoleon packs and that our new land was just very bad. and unfortunately, i'm at about and by it's been much the same. it's got worse here too. and nothing is going to change very quickly, bit or move to the air down the gulf, a lightly dusty shamal will blow through thursday. oh, with sponsored by casara ways in the country with an abundance of resource rate and walk indonesia, firms borman, we move to grow and fraud. we balance reno economy, who, economy and the digital economy with the new job creation law, indonesia progressively ensure the policy reform to create all the jobs. invest park when the reaches growth and progress in both in the media now. ah

ah, hello there i'm is darcy attainder. hall, let's remind you about top stories here. the sour europe is struggling with the new wave of the corona virus, and germany is set to mock a 100000 deaths while franz from the netherlands are among those reporting record numbers of infections. meanwhile, leaders of the 3 german political parties have agreed to form a coalition government following 2 months of talks are left shelters. now boys to take over from angler marco as chancellor, early next month, ethiopia is prime minister abbey off. mad has now left the capital and is said to be heading to the front line to lead his troops in battle. not comes just hours after the un ordered the made the immediate evacuation of its international staff.

now european union representatives have arrived in the besieged, gaza strip to disgust humanitarian conditions. the you contribute to social welfare allowances in gaza, but protest is outside un headquarters say they haven't received any funds during the last 6 months. humidifier has more for several months now. more than 81000 families in the gaza strip have not received their social affairs cash allowances, and as their issue fluctuates into the answer to anything up the date of the new payment doesn't have gather theory. the gaza strip in front of the un headquarters in conjunction with a european delegations visit to the gaza strip. i know what i did with the miniature this. my children are starving president our bus or boomers and should come to godsa and see how we live. my husband is sick and can't move and i support 8 members of my family and my kids are young. oh, the delay has caused a great resentment among the families who receive these are allowances for whom

they are from the most vulnerable groups in godsa and depend fully on the allowances for their source of living. while the palestinian authority has attributed the denay that the deficit and the authorities budget and did the retreat in the finance commitment by the european union. whereas the is the cash allowances are supported by 3 parties. the european union, the world bank and the palestinian authorities. now the u. s. department of defense has announced a new u. f o, a task force. the new group comes after the intelligence community admitted there were a series of unexplained aerial phenomena sightings by the military earlier this year when it speak now with alan fisher. he joins us from washington, d. c. allen. the government, as we've been saying, is taking these sightings very seriously. is there potentially a defense component here? all this new group has called the airborne object identification and management.

it's synchronization group is not a catchy title, but i'll do exactly what it says on the turn. it's all about gathering the information in the past. the idea of u. f was, was considered very much a fringe issue. and if you went in and said, i think i saw you have 4, you'd be met with nodding heads and rolling eyes. this acknowledges on behalf of the u. s. government that there is something there to investigate now the commission to report and to the possibility of you air force that was published back in the summer. they had about a $144.00 site. things that were unexplained. many of these made by navy pilots, they couldn't rule out as something like a weather balloon. it could have been something from a foreign entity, perhaps a foreign government with technology that was beyond what the u. s. had. and so the feel this is a need that they have to investigate this every time there's a report, it will no go to this new group. the whole idea of this is that the reporting will become much more streamlined. and in the long term,

this group can make any policy changes or recommendations to legislative changes that needs to be made. what is interesting, of course, is that given that the pentagon and the director of national intelligence is involved in this group, this says that the american government is one taking this very seriously and to seize the possibility of you air force or something out there as a real threat to national security. alan, i know it's thanksgiving eve over there. say capitol hill is quiet. that is is actually something that's come up with lawmakers before right. the been concerned. they have been concerned and said they just can't write this off as well. we don't know what it is and therefore the see if there is something in new ecier space, it must be investigated. solar been a number of legislators who have said, look, we need to get into this much more deeply. that of course, excited all the us can see the view for conspiracy theorists. but clearly those who

are taking this seriously know, think that this is something that has to be investigated and a real official level. and any time there is a report, it will now go to this new group. they will analyze it. and if there's something there that needs to be explained, or perhaps they need to change policy than this group will recommend that they do that. but as i see with the pentagon and the d n, i being involved the shows how seriously the thinking and all of alan faster than at all the latest 1st from washington d. c. thanks i'm at am now, hundreds of st vendors have been protesting in the indian capital new delhi. they want the government to implement laws which regulate their jobs and protect their rights. india correspondent elizabeth problem was that demonstration close to the deli minutes ago or a lead and resident, a 100 and gather to protest. now they're up to 300000. many say most of them don't have the mega ticket that they need in order to job.

they said that because the government isn't implementing some people. the st remembers act 2014, which regulates the presence of public places where they can tell they want. but also could drive what that means without the papers being lost by markets, by resident association, and also by police simply doing their job. hormone brought everything up, up, up to our goods, aren't free. i have no children who can look after me. i work on my own and that's why i have come to protest. i want my rights to be protected. i can earn a living but the police and when the civil community should stop harassing us, i should be allowed to sit an urn at the place where i have been working with the chief minister give us the certificate of render committee, which ravines are eventually address but not the address that i've been doing

business for the last 20 years. i want to as the delhi chief minister, that i've been doing business there for last 20 years. where will my family go? now street? when i say that the deli government hasn't catered non strict vending and then things don't and that because of that. but my point has gone ahead and declared many of the biggest market to be non vending. going to court has said that some of the biggest market, the starting to look like and the interest rate or vendors, but also shots and mark much paper. state resident now have been really bad society. the 1000000 in the country. they sell pretty much everything, but you can think of the base of most people, but especially the poorer in society. they say that they are self sufficient, that they work for themselves and then economy, which doesn't have enough jobs for them. and they ask thing to be allowed to work for themselves. what the protection under the law on turkeys lira has

hit a record logan's, the us dollar a day after president russia typo on defended his policy of sharp interest rate cuts. many critics of called on add ons were a vast course of inflation, so as to nearly 20 percent mac currencies last almost half its value this year. i'm take a look just how we got here. sam consillio has one out from istanbul, service national, curren silly raw has gotten nearly 50 percent off its valley against the american dollar in the last 2 months. that means less purchasing power for the turkey citizens who are already fighting against a high inflation rate. inter kidney inflation is around 20 percent right now, but extra suggests that given the currency crisis that turkey is going through, it can reach about 30 percent in the coming months. the opposition accuses the government of implementing the wrong economic policy is left. the government said there waging a war to protect their economic independence,

but the streets think different, you know, from like stand them. so i wanted to study abroad, but school prices and now too expensive. some of our friends started to say we won't be able to. we're disappointed behind it and what if what you're doing is killing the purchasing power. it doesn't work out. they say exports will serve your costs are also surging. how are you going to sell the products i did purchase economy has been fragile to international diplomatic issues. this fits with inter case and its life. however, the rapid loss and the turkish near raft is due to the interest rates cuts by the turkish central bank, which is highly influenced by turkish present, reject our don't economic question. prisons, our dom blaze. high interest rates are the reason for high inflation. that's why a minimum interest rate must be implemented by the tricky central bank. however, the market and they say different,

but prisons are now believes that the economic models that his government is mounting right now will at the end try the turkish economy. but when it is going to happen, or is this going to happen is so know you some breaking news now out of france, police say at least $24.00. my rents have drowned after the sinking of a boat of cali while trying to reach britain via the channel 26 people rescued will bring you more as we get it home. meanwhile, human rights watch has accused batteries and poland and violating the rights of migrants and asylum seekers. the watchful group says it's documented abuses on both sides of the border. the report says been a russian gods were involved in in humane acts towards migrants on the border and reach the polar security forces are also accused of engaging and violent push backs . at least 13 people have died as a result of harrowing conditions that well x are better ration opposition leaders.

phenomena to kind of guy has called that government a dictatorship. and she says, it must be treated like a virus that could spread to sky was addressing the european parliament earlier on wednesday, she proposed a 3 point plan for europe to isolate, treat, and create so called immunity to president, alexander lucas shank as power. well, we can now speak to settling to kind of scott, she joins us live from strasburg salon. i have to stop by asking you as you've watched what's unfolded over these last few weeks on the border with poland. what's been going through your mind? atlanta just checking that you can hear me there in strasburg, i believe we are having some communication issues. we'll try to sort out that audio and get her back for you very shortly. in the meantime, the moving on and apple is doing the israeli cyber f. m. n a. so

a group of controversial hacking tools. the tech giant says the company's pegasus software tracked and targeted its uses in the united states. the latest in a string of companies and governments to take legal action against the spyware producer. and so for its part has denied any wrong doing. jody westby is the chief executive officer at global cyber risk. she says, this is one of the strongest steps any company has taken so far. it's very significant because the software was developed to target i phones and android mobile phones. so if apple can succeed and get a ban or an injunction, so that the n a so software cannot be used on their phones, it will effectively kill the n s o market for the software. so it's a very big move by apple. one that i'm very glad to see them take, i think it's very important. they're trying to hide their fear mongering and

they're trying to hide behind terrorists and pet files. and the fact is, they aren't trotting out examples of terrorism and head of files and their technology successfully defeating that. what we're seeing is governments that have used this technology to suppress human rights and civil rights and waves that are countered to democratic principles. and certainly in the united states, national security interests. so they are just simply trying to hide behind israeli defense licenses for the technology and also claiming that it can be used to catch bad guys while the bad guys may be in a. so now a landmark peace treaty between the state and font. the rebels was signed in columbia 5 years ago now, but the promise peace is yet to be achieved and the window for doing so might be clothing and the thunder. and yet he travelled to the calico region and the country southwest to speak with former fighters, struggling to integrate into society is new groups now fight for control of that

territory. fuller fight, grab a william would yell is rightly proud of is big farm. it's one of 3 projects. he started with hundreds of other demobilized fighters investing the roughly $2000.00 each. they received this part of their agreement to design. we're selling an average of $160.00 pigs a month, 40 per week of around 100105 kilos. we hope that with the 2 new sites will reach a 10120 a week. william says, reaching this point has been very difficult approval for the project arrived only a year ago, after long fights with bureaucracy says was set up to fail them. then you know, i can deal with this. government has done everything possible to make the deal fail if it wasn't for the united nations and the international cooperation that are guarantors of the process got on. i wonder if i would be here. the government stained the story piece deal with the fact 5 years ago,

bringing to an end the conflict that killed more than 200000 people over more than 5 decades. that many of the hopes of that day or fulfilled, even though most combatants as lay down their arms by addressing poverty and inequality, promising road schools and jobs in many neglected rural areas of the country. the peace deal was supposed to end the root causes dep fuel the war. but 5 years later, little has changed. emily's through she honest at many accused the conservative government of even do care of slow walking the deals implementation. studies show that just 4 percent of the promised rule reform measures are complete. while cocaine production is at an all time high and you, arm groups and fart, dissidence are perpetuating new cycles of violence. many reintegration camps are mostly empty after former fighters move there.
