a new group to investigate u. f o sighting. now the world health organization is wanting that hundreds of thousands more people will die as a new wave of the current of our sweeps across europe. germany is set to mark a 100000 debts as it hits a new record of more than 66800 cases. meanwhile, the netherlands is also introducing new restrictions, social distancing is set to become compulsory again, there. and in france, 30000 people tested positive just in the past 24 hours. that's the 1st time since august. the dean barbara reports in paris. the festive displays are 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 benefits ultimate car. today we're announcing 30000

cur. the cases of the last 24 hours. it's 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 wants of 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,

there'll be high or extreme stress in intensive care units in almost all the 53 countries that comprise it's europe. region of this hospital may cologne, like in many places, covered patients needing intensive care, a mainly younger on vaccinated people, that it of it soon at man euro. we've increasingly got younger people in intensive care. the amount of time they're treated is significantly longer and it blocks intensive campus for longer period, which they're not available for the care of other patients on it. 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, and the countries just returned to a full national lockdown. the measures have seen a large increase in demand at the lousiest vaccination center here in vienna. meanwhile, as cases rise sharply in the netherlands, they've started transferring corona virus patient to germany,

to ease pressure on dutch hospitals. nadine baba al jazeera while. meanwhile, protesters and the french overseas territory of waterloo, burned cause and set up barricades in a protest against the 1900 measures and restrictions has been stirring, long standing grievances are of poverty and inequality. in the region, vaccination rates remain low with less than half the population. currently, you are not connected against the current of virus. let's bring you some breaking news out of france. police are saying at least 24 migrants have drowned off to the boat, sank of calla while trying to reach britain across the channel. 26 people rescued will bring you more as we get her leaders of 3 german political parties have agreed to form a coalition government following 2 months now of talk. the social democrats are left sholtes is now set to take over as chancellor early next month. he'll lead that coalition with the greens and the free democrats. it will be the 1st 3 way coalition government in germany,

and nearly 70 is dominic kane as following development for us in berlin. we know the broad strokes about what does 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 component posts. and they get their key pledge that mister 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 combating climate change ministry as well. and the free democrats, the center rights 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 to parliament that makes real problems politically. and moving on, an ethiopian prime minister,

i'll be af med, says he is heading to the front line to lead his troops in battle as the fighting between the government and rebels. escalades rebels from t y pushed into the m horror on a far regions and also down a major road running to the capital, addis ababa. they took dessie and compulsory earlier this month. and also there sits on a supply line linking the land of nation to the port city of beauty. and last week the rebels also came to have captured a shower ro, but that's just about 200 kilometers from the capitol. janice, and we'll get it. she brings us the latest now from addis ababa will let go, sir, to the spokesperson of the ethiopian government, the header for convocation services. here are the some of i said, the prime ministers in the battle ground, giving leadership, and really fighting for the survival. 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 loan p n. i like a russian lassie. successful businessman and id sub about us were last part of the

enders who in 2 mckelly at the just before the conflicts begun. see if this can be resolved in a more peaceful way. but again, the prime minister is indeed in the back of the ground. he said that on monday night, and i was expected to happen and there he is in the back of gun fighting what he terms a terrorist organization. that's s t p. and that's all mr. for ali, as the co founder and the chairman of the horn international institute for strategic studies, he ones of more instability across the horn of africa region. if ethiopia descends into civil war, a kind of similar gambled when champion 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, i mean,

i mean is risking is nice and he's also risking the lives of those that are going to be alongside himself. and, but i think the calculation here from obese administration is because the t or, and then many other groups confiding around he sees it fits as part of psychological operations to inspire other europeans to join their routes in fine of b, e n, d f to fight this war and to and to push back the t grams is a huge country with a population of 112 medium one east. if this country descends into anarchy, then we're going to have a huge problem of stability in the entire north africa with so many refugees, really. and then usual refugees that we've come to know will 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 grounds there. now the last thing that the return wishes to have is a disintegrate. and if you're here and the west interests are going to really just go up in flames. now european union representatives have arrived and the besieged casa stress to discuss humanitarian conditions. the contributes to social welfare allowances in gaza, but protest is outside un headquarters say they haven't received any funds during the last 6 months. in science has no for several months now. more than 81000 families in the gaza strip have not receive their social affairs cash allowances. and if their issue fluctuates into the answer to anything up the date of the new pay meant 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 didn't get miniature less. my children are starving president bus obama's and should come to god's on 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 b. 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 authorities but j 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. on stella had here on al jazeera, i'm in a far gravels reintegration camp in southwest columbia,

a big surprise to tom yet. what's happening in the mid trade in the black sea is changing the weather in turkey. turkey will dry up for friday, except where the rain comes in again. cross the bathrooms, in particular, wrist and bowl will well end up with a wet night in the start when some time on friday, but it's dried up in cyprus, syria, and lebanon. by this time, in tropical africa disappointedly dry in this short run, he sees particularly in kenya. so a small amount of good news, a hint of some growing showers here and some more in somalia for what was a tropical depression just came across the horn of africa in sudden after particular south africa where it's been dry for a while. was a huge amount, right. and that's why 1st of all, up in malawi, mozambique. but look at this development of widespread thunderstorms in the eastern cape and elsewhere in south africa. ah. in the country with an abundance of results. great. la rewan, indonesia,

his turns booming. we moved pool to grow and fraud. we balance the green economy, blue economy, and the digital economy. with the new job creation law, indonesia is progressively ensuring the policy reform to create quality jobs, investment. let it be part linda. this is broke and progress in indonesia. now, ah, the hello, they want to 0, that's remind you about top stories for europe is struggling with the new wave of the corona virus. germany set to mock 100000 deaths. france and the netherlands are

among those reporting record numbers of infection. police and from to say at least $27.00 my friends have now drowned after their boat sank off. cally they were trying to reach britain, english channel, navy prime minister abbey osmond is said to now have left the capital heading to the front line to need his trip from bethel. not come just hours for the united nations order to be immediate evacuation of its international staff. jury deliberations have in for a 2nd day in the, on the aubrey mad. a trial and the u. s. 3 white men charged with chasing and killing the 25 year old black man in georgia last year. they faced several charges including felony matter, aggravated assault, and false imprisonment charges. well, let's be to, she have returned to he's outside the court house for us in brunswick in georgia. she, we get any signs of how close the jury might be to a very it's always difficult to tell, but we get these,

these signals, i suppose the were all trying to draw lies on tuesday night before they. busy finished for the day, the jury said they were working towards a verdict and then on wednesday morning, just a few hours ago, they also reviewed 2 pieces of evidence. the cellphone and video captures, traverse mac mike, who confronted with albert and i'm shooting him dead. and then the 911 call made by gregory like michael try was his father. and you can look at this in several ways because when without cell phone video, that could be problematic for the prosecution. if you're looking at it from, from vantage point. because that might mean that looking into this issue of self defense and the whole point of the prosecution cases, there is no case of self defense in the killing of aubrey yukon claims. self defense. if you get in, you'll pick up truck with 2 shot guns. a chaser man caught him, confront him, and then he defends himself and call them self defense. if you're the one who

instigated the altercation, this is not the wild west. and the words of the prosecutor having said that they could for only know that the jury is looking at this, wondering about be preferred defendant william bryan, who took that cell phone video because he is claiming his law as a quick claim. and he had nothing to do with the killing, he was just sort of a bystander kind of got involved but didn't really know what was going on. and he could simply get a misdemeanor, a reckless driving so that you know, they could, that different ways to look at. that's what the 911 cool might be good for the prosecution because in that 911 call gregory my michael simply says there's a black man running down the street. that's the emergency. that's what a crime. he doesn't say. i've see the crime happened. get down here, we're going to try to drive and make a citizen's arrest. none of that, just a black man running down the street, at least at least officially. that's not a crime. and america was going to be plenty of reactions to the vatike when it eventually comes. and we've been saying this has been a highly charged trial. can you talk us through what's at stake in

it's once again another test. this is what we've been hearing from the civil rights leaders who have been gathered around us, of where america is when it comes to race relations, the latest, the latest test, and when we're talking about how far the u. s. has come, not just from the days of over a segregation, especially here in the, in the deep south when white people felt they could do what they wanted to black people, assault them, live and be backed up by the states. but even more recently, the case that we keep on here, which has the strongest parallels, is the killing of 17 old treyvon martin just always 10 years ago. in florida, we're in georgia and florida. just just just you're not far away from us. well again, self appointed neighbourhood watch guardian sore, a black 17 year old. this time walking down the street decided that was suspicious in itself, gave chase, and ended up shooting treyvon martin dead. in that case, the jury was jury found defendant zimmerman george zimmerman. not guilty. how we

moved on from that 1010 years later. that's an interesting question. but actually what was also interesting was we were listening to ben crump, who is clearly one of the ways to forward civil rights attorneys now and in the us . he's seen at all. george floyd earlier this year, but he got really, really emotional when he was asked to consider that these, these 3 men might be acquitted before an attorney. i'm a black man, and i have black children. and i said, my guy, if america can come down this, then all parents who have children are karla. we can't protect whatever the outcome had. fremont also face federal hate crimes. and in the past that has been very difficult to make stick. but in this case,

there is a sense that there may be more evidence because it seems that one of the defendants did use racial slurs in the aftermath of killing of an abra. she average hands it with all the lakers for us from outside that courthouse in georgia. thank you. she him was staying in the united states and the man accused of driving his vehicle into a christmas parade. and the u. s. if you walk ashore, has now appeared in court as the death toll or is the 6 and 8 year old child has become the latest victim victim of that incident. more than 16 people also still remain in hospital police. a dental brooks deliberately drove his call into the annual parade. he's been charged with homicide, a land log, paste tracy between the states and fog rebels was signed in columbia 5 years ago now. but the promised peace is yet to be achieved, and the windows for doing so might be closing at asunder. and yet he travelled to the calico region and the country south west to speak with former fighters, struggling to integrate into society. if now new groups fight for control of

territory fuller fight grabel, william would yell is rightly proud of is speak 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 are 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 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 in logo. in a kiddo, as 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 signed it,

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 for field, 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 the fuel, the war, but 5 years later, little has changed him, although he's through joanie's many accused. the conservative government of the van to cab slow walking the deals implementation stud, show that just 4 percent of the promised rule reform measures are complete. cocaine production is at an all time high, and you arm groups in park dissidence, are perpetuating new cycles of violence. many reintegration camps are mostly empty

after former fighters moved away and the threat by armed groups. slight claudia crews with former comrades has been trying to start a fish farm. first, they were forced to leave their camp. then their leader was killed. they all failed . okay. we live in fear, this is worse than during the war. back then we could at least defend ourselves lessons after 5 years i thought we would have a place to live a little land and basically purity. we feel disillusioned yet we endure. but despite their in doing commitment success for them and the country remains elusive and lasting, peace is not guaranteed allison and get the al jazeera cal dawn or coca now cobalt is one of the most sought after minerals in the wild and used in battery. is that how electric cars and mobile phones much event comes from democratic republic of congo? the mining it is dangerous work and the government is now pushing to improve safety

the shift is short. managers say they need more time to make it face point thing out of the work. are there about $200000.00? a little puzzled about a number of people are getting very rich when the coal mining industry. no. okay. sort of the table here. so barely be paid anything for the shore shift if a tool there's no order here. we need order because we have too many. we need to buy the people into the group to work on different days. more appealing for better conditions so we can work properly. none of us have a good position in life. if we weren't here, we'd be stealing things in town to survive. many wondering if any reforms will actually happen and mine as

a test run in case a giant space rock needs to be redirected away from our planet floor above many reports. 3, to run the dance mission could one day save the earth. nasa would deliberately curtis spacecraft into an unsuspecting rock or would i move? the aim to find out what it would take to stop a large asteroid from one day, crushing into the earth and devastated the planet of the. we're going to bump into a desk and off i call. i get off stadium sized like soccer stadium sized asked. right, that, that is in an orbit around a body that is about 5 times larger. so that's what, that's what we're going to do, went and measure really the change of orbit for that secondary body is the 1st time scientists are attempting such an experiment. and this is how they're going to do it. die more, the circles and asteroid, who did miss?

nasa has waited for it to get close to earth. amir, 11000000 kilometers away. the spacecraft will reach speeds of more than 24000 kilometers per hour and head straight towards it. they're hoping the crash would take both objects out of course, even if ever so slightly. and it will all be streamed by video back to earth. and that would tell us love about if you want to deviate completely as more or less thrown from the earth. what type of spacecraft to what speed, what weight? what impact would need to have to deflect an asteroid? sign to say the results of the experiment of fight. so if an asteroid measuring just a few 100 meters collides with our planet, it could have devastating consequences. what they're really targeting our asteroids that could be like regional and destroyers like something that could have a huge impact and say, a certain part of the planet. so it's really important that we have
