2:02 pm
evade vaccines than a press conference, a short while ago, the w h o set able take a few weeks to determine exactly how transmissible the new variant is we don't know very much about this yet. what we do know is that this variant has a large number of mutations. i'm in the concern is that when you have so many mutations that can have an impact on how the virus behaves. so right now researchers are getting together ah, to understand where these mutations are in the spike protein and the fear and cleavage site. and what that potentially may mean for our diagnostics are therapeutics and our vaccines. i would say we have concern, but i think you would want us to have concern. ah, and i want the viewers to know that we have people who are on this. we're going to get the latest from london, was george hall shortly. first. let's go straight to johannesburg, south africa, and farmer miller farm it out. what more do we know about this virus?

well, scientists have been really explicit in terms of wanting the public to know what's out there, but also being cautious. the will help organization is having meetings to determine whether or not this is a variance that is, as wiring as scientists make it out to be the concern. really, you know, the, it's the number of mutations, at least to mutations in the spite protein of this particular virus ovarian. and just how transmissible it might be. and now it might also impact the vaccines or just protect the vaccinations might be, as well as how transmissible this particular variance might be. so far, they'd be just over 50 cases detected in south africa for in what swan neighboring south africa and the government. they have also issued a statement saying, all 4 of those people were fully vaccinated, but they also said this isn't a real world impact of the variant hasn't yet been established. so they to want to
2:04 pm
be cautious. i think the main concern for southern african countries, including south africa, really is this rush to bad travel from 6 countries in the region, especially to the u. k. the south african government has issued a statement saying that it respects the decision that's been taken by the united kingdom and understands that precautionary measures should be put in place. but that decision is washed and it's really worried about the economic damage. given that we're heading into a holiday season and there's bound to be a lot of travel back and back and forth between the 2 countries. so really the concern. c from the south african government around one the spread of this variant in south africa, again urging south africa and to take precaution, but also wanting greater clarity on what exactly this new variant will mean for
2:05 pm
south africa and the world. but at the same time, trying to balance an upcoming restrictions with an economy that's already suffered . founded a thanks very much and he does farmer the miller talking to us from johannesburg. let's bring in, jonah hollis. familar was explaining their south africa saying that this decision by the u. k, has been rushed. although it does understand that there should be some sort of protocol put in place. why is it that the u. k. has moved so speedily to take this action? what i think a large part because it came under such criticism for acting much, much more slowly when the delta virus emerged from india and in so doing effectively played no role in slowing the arrival and spread of the delta vars. and failed to by scientists time at that time to figure out what in fact they were dealing with, they've decided to operate very differently. this time this decision has been made
2:06 pm

2:07 pm
no cases identified in europe so far or here in england. although everyone arriving in the last 10 days is hurriedly being tested, as i said, the, the good news or the hope would be that they've bought time for the scientists to analyze the data. look at the very decide just how much of a threat it is. and be able in time to impose the sort of measures that might therefore, ameliorate its effects. the bad news is all the anecdotal evidence suggests it could be much worse than the delta variant. it is out there with it whether anyone likes it or not. and we simply don't know very much about it. i don't know how talking to us from london. jonah, thank you very much indeed. well, the fine timings created a perfect storm of problems is dealing the world's supply chain networks. businesses everywhere dealing with bottlenecks as they try to order goods. countries like the u. s. bracing for the delays to stretch into christmas. couple. alexander reports from hoboken and new jersey.
