state's global headlines inside story on al jazeera. you want to help save the world oh, sneeze into your elbow. oh, we see a new corona virus very and is detected in south africa. countries rushed to ban flights of scientists, one it could be more easily spread and resist vaccines even better. ah, a robot this, and this is audra 0 live from doha. also coming up. a senior official from sedans governing council tells al jazeera that october's military takeover had the backing of the prime minister. more protests on the solomon islands against growing chinese

influence. australian peacekeepers have flown in to control the situation. like friday, sales across the world take a hit because of a supply crisis in china, a spike in the cost of raw materials and coven $19.00, and china are being blamed. sanders, a warning, a new corona virus very detected in south africa, could be more transmissible. and better able to evade vaccines, israel's become the latest country to impose tough travel restrictions and southern african countries. it follows the united kingdom announcing travel bounds. we will be suspending all flights from 6 southern african countries and we will add in those countries to the travel read list. those countries are south africa, namibia recessive, s what teeny. and is involved way and for twana. and we will be requiring

anyone that arrives from those countries from foi am on sunday to quarantine in hotels. well, let's go live to farmer miller, who is forest in johannesburg. family, howard, countries in southern africa. reacting to this i think there's a certain amount of shock even from scientists. so one of the most renowned scientists in south africa working on sequencing of the virus has said that it has come as a surprise. there's always been work done to ensure that sequencing continues, new variance mutations are identified. but the concern in this particular case is just the number of mutations of that spike protein. and that's where the issue of transmitter realty comes into play. there are multiple mutations, and scientists are concerned around concerned about just how transmissible this new

variant may be. and of course, how it would affect trans miss ability and then whether or not people having vaccines, if that would be enough of a protection, will even be immunity. with people who have been affected by culver 19 before. now this has affected put swanner and south africa as well as hong kong when, but one of the 4 cases which the government has said is from travelers went into the country. and all 4 of those cases are people who have been fully vaccinated. here in south africa, much of the responses been from the scientific world who really emphasizing their concern around this new mutation, which they say could spread quite rapidly. but also one of the key points is that they're working to understand what's going on far better. and they say they'll be more information available in the coming days. and those of course,

linked to south africa being in a position where we have the lowest, lower a lowest level, excuse me, of covert 19 restrictions. we're also of course, coming into holiday season in many parts of the world, not least southern african countries, people would have booked holidays, they would have been expecting to travel. and this i would imagine is going to throw a lot of those plans into disarray, especially at a time where we've experienced lower cobra, 1900 restrictions in south africa at level one. the curfew is much later in the evening. only one of the major issues is just that people need to wear mosques, and this is what the minister of health has touched on in the last 24 hours around this new very. and that it really is up to people and non pharmaceutical interventions to ensure that they isn't an increase in sprayed. a month ago, there were about $400.00 new cases of covert 19 per week in south africa. but in the last 24 hours have been about 2000. the ministers also said that is certainly

going to push for a review of the restrictions. and this is, of course, how people will be impacted. they hit the holiday season in terms of travel across provinces in south africa, and also cross border in southern africa. so it's certainly a cause for concern, not only for the people trying to understand what exactly the various means, but just people in the country wanting to know what happens next in terms of their personal plan. family, thanks very much. that's found that miller in johannesburg, the deputy head of sedans, governing council, has told to 0. the last one is military takeover was quote, the best option to stop what he called a spiraling crisis. general mohammed hummed on dialogue that they'll also known as committee, says the move was discussed with all parties, including the prime minister della humbug comes in hitting over here. what's happened on october 25th was the ultimate outcome of a long process. since that change started in sudan during such process,

many discussions were made. and many initiatives were proposed by various parties, the prime minister himself proposed to initiated and during our meetings and the transitional partners council or the sovereignty council, with the cabinet of ministers. we made maximum effort, but we couldn't reach a breakthrough. at that point, we were left with 3 options, the best of which was the move we had taken. who was it was completely agreeable to the prime minister himself of the work. we did not make such a move on our own. they said with what more, not interview, let's talk to wrestle, sorta, he's joining us live from the capital cartoon. russell, these are pretty damning conduct comments with regard to the prime minister because of course, this is not going to go down well with the protest. her so right in the streets, which we'll talk about in a moment. who are wanting the military to step down. but if it looks as though he's

been supporting all of this, this does not look good for him. well as quite a bold obligation here, i will say because there hold that people have been asking whether really the prime minister of the law ham duke was aware of the cool or was a part of the cool a dead, the admitted to take over into comfortable not, and when i into waved a mr handbook, i asked that question. were you aware of that? some people said that you were part of it. he very clearly embedded to him and he says that he big not know that the minute to take or what is coming. he could smell some. he was suspicious of that, but definitely it happened. it didn't happen with a consultation with him. but now the deputy chairman of the 70 council of sudan and the head of the rapid support force and strongest division of the army, says that actually they have discussed with the prime minister of the lamb duke as well. and that he knew that the debated the to take over prior to the day that it

took place. so it's is quite a bold one. we'll see what mister, i'm luke is going to say regarding these allegations, but definitely it will have the repercussions, because as i imagined that he was on his heart, as houser, as when they were negotiating at deal. and people ordered the question, his independence. but he said that he's going to be fully independent. and now up there, there's allegation, people are going to question more, his ledge to massey more and that is definitely going to make his job quite tough and also could potentially support the anger among the people who are already will pause in this deal. yeah, and let's talk about those protests because there's really been no let up in terms of the, the opposition to this agreement that has been signed. well, the, the put, the diminutive tape over has drones will down into our political crisis. and that particular crisis is still going on prime minister after lamb to be reinstated,

as part of the agreement with the military to try and bring back did the country to it's part of transition. but many people are still pausing to deal and they want the military completely to be out of the power and also how the countable for the lives lost. you have to have seen that 10000 of people was, were back to the streets competing to the previous mass growth as it was less. busy weight, and however we could see that people still there and insisting on their own their demand. so the 2 main issues are still here and challenging. the company. one of that is the formation of the cabinet. prime minister handbook is back into office by the cabinet is still not there. and we know that there were the negotiations going to gotten the who is going to be representative met cabinet and whether the cabinet is going to be independent one or not. and 2nd, the political prisoners, remember, just more than 1000 people have been detained after the military take war. and some of the figures are out of the prison now, but pens of people,

political prisoners are still detained. so hum, duke needs to form a cabinet as soon as possible and also make sure that they go prisoners are out because the expectations are growing here. so thanks very much indeed. you can see that interview with russell and the general home a $100.00 after this program. and about 20 minutes time police from australia has begun patrolling the suits of hon, yada in the solomon islands. after 2 days of rioting, dozens of peacekeepers was sent after a request from premier. so manase suck our body. protest is accused the government of corruption and letting foreign workers take local jobs. they're also angry about prime ministers. decision to sever diplomatic ties with taiwan and normalize relations with china. m sarah clogs monitoring developments from brisbin. we've had 2 consecutive days of quite violent rot and protests in parts of the capital.

they want him to resign. their anger is focused on the fact they say he's holding back on delivering infrastructure. he's giving big contracts to form firms and not the locals. and of course, the long running anger has been fueled by the government's decision in a 2019 to switch in different medical legions from taiwan and after 36 years to china. so that's triggered. this is what we are expecting. we got the struggling peacekeepers who arrived, but we are hearing that the crowd a gathering for a 3rd day and i should note that the 72 out curfew was lifted this morning. so people are allowed back on the streets. it's whether or not they gather to cause balance and certainly continue the burning of the my infrastructure and government buildings in the capital still had an audi 0 worker's rights track called the foreign owned companies, accused of exploiting minors in democratic republic of congo. ah, dude's real grims, the 3000 year old avenue of sphinxes with
