this is growing. as cattle always brings your favorite teen to cut off for the fever arab car. 2021. greatness is in the air. lead sorres' one and rich new heights. join us in cut off from november, the 30th to december. the 18th booked your package now at qatar airways dot com. ah ah, book back you're watching out there is news hour with me. so robin a reminder of our top stories. belgium has confirmed europe's 1st case of a highly mutated corona virus variant. first identified in south africa, the world health organization is meeting behind closed doors to assess the ritz. a

growing number of countries and al, suspending air travel to and from southern africa while introducing tougher quarantine rules. they include the u. k, netherlands and hong kong. germany's top howle officials say the new variances added to the urgency for more crow virus restrictions. the netherlands is due to announced tougher measures in the coming hours or the president of the e. u has called for the suspension of all i travel between europe and countries affected by the new variant. it is now important that all of us in europe act very swiftly, decisively and united. the european commission has today proposed to member states to activate the emergency brake on travel from countries in southern african and other countries affected. to limit the spread of the new variant. all air travel to these countries should be suspended. they should be suspended until we have

a clear understanding about the danger posed by this new variant. so how do the beginnings of this new variant look when compared with its pre assess of his command on maria? when more you'll remember we started referring to variance by their geography, but then in may the w h, i renamed of all to try to avoid stigmatizing those countries. so that's now why we have, of course, alpha, beta, gamma, delta, etc. you say on this shot from covariance dot org little confusing way. but if we follow this greek alphabet naming system, then this new variance be 115 to $9.00 would actually be called the new variance and you that is. but when visualizing variance, it's always important to remember, they are constantly evolving in scope and science. now, this is from next strain dot org sound, a little ominous if the global picture of the variance over the course of the pandemic. now all of these ones that you see, i'm gonna circle them here,

the greens and blues here, those are all del, for on. there are inefficiently 3 delta strains easily. it is the most prevalent and, and long lasting. and i'll just get rid of those, and we'll go a little further down and you will see these other blue and purple ones. gamma is there. alpha is there, and beta is there. they sort of piece it out. but then we have 21 k here. this little red dot, which is our new variant. that's the global view. but if we switch to an africa focus, you see here, same red dot a bit bigger. it's growing and as some a saying, it's potentially the worst so far, fine to say it has around 30 different mutations, which is twice as many as the delta variance had. let's go to the more on this now headline to london where joe hollis standing by and jonah the u. k. moving very quickly, i mean the alarm bells ringing back. so very different to that reaction compared to the advice that's being given from the w. h ho well the w h o has edged caution and if a country's not to take hasty measures, i mean it is of its nature,

a cautious body. the w h. o. well aware of the weight of its pronouncements on countries in economies, it has to operate on the basis of evidence on the basis of hard data. and in the, in respect to this new variance, the evidence and hard data simply are there. and we know that in terms of studies into some of those previous periods, beta and, and delta and so on. but it can take weeks to determine the infectiousness to determine the transmissible to figure out just how severe a threat it is. so the actions that these countries are taking the u. k leading and the whole of other countries. now the following with these travel bands is not intended. i think, to try and hold the varied in its tracks. travel restrictions can't do that. we know that it is intended to slow the spread of this period to buy time for the scientists to be able to do their work, to figure out the nature of this threat. so that appropriate counter measures can effectively be taken. and of course, you know, as we had from dominant came,

there is a 5th wave of the virus hitting your right now. and also in the u. k. i mean, the situation is not getting any better across the continent, and this new variant of it does hit europe. is something of a real concern more than likely for, for many countries. absolutely. there's some evidence that the case is plateauing, or just beginning to come out of its 5th way. but the 5th wave plum at the center hit to get the center of the european union. now, reco infection rates in lots of countries as immunity, wayne's, after people were given, the 2nd dose of the vaccine months and months ago. booster programs are not all that effective. some countries in eastern europe have very, very low vaccination rates because of high levels of vaccine hesitancy, some countries protesting against counter measures. and so absolutely right is that covered is not painting a pretty picture across the you now. and that he's why there is such instant alarm as a prospect of

a potentially much worse very and emerging general in london for thanks very much. now if we just bring you up to the stock market board here in the us, you can see that the fears surrounding the very in, to having an instant economic impact. you know, we're just right now there's a lot of those. you can see down 2 and a half percent of the dow jones round about 850 points down on the day. let's bring in the gave us all of these live for us from new jersey to get a reaction out of the us. it is black friday. people should be spending money all day. yeah, that's right. we're here. one of the biggest small in the united states here in east rotherford, new jersey. there's over a 150 different stores here. the door is open at 7 am local time, and it's been busy. but quite frankly, not that busy compared to what we've seen in previous free pandemic years. this is

leading certainly to a lot of worry that maybe that the market or that the numbers buying, if you will, could be soft this year and what have you. and that's potentially what we'll be seeing in the coming days is the numbers start to come out. this is one of the biggest buying days of the year, but there's really 3 major problems that are being faced right now. and that is, of course, the supply chain problems that we've had throughout the world. a shortage of a lot of products. also here in the united states, particularly a shortage of workers within the retail sector. and the u. s. is averaging about $700000.00 retail workers that are quitting their jobs over the last few months. and then of course, inflation in the united states is going up as well. now added to this, what is essentially the new news now with this new variance coming out and the markets now on this friday are in the red. as you said, here in the united states,

that airline, a part of the airline stock, marked down about 5 percent. and the crews industry stocks are down about 10 percent. those are, of course, major travel stock that you will, is worried about this new varian, potentially closing borders, adding to potentially more travel restriction, clearly affecting the markets around the world, particularly here in the united states on this friday, gabriel is onto the for the, in the us thanks very much. now, israel has been travel from most of africa after 8 to confirm the presence of the new variant prime minister of tardy. bennett said the current me on the verge of a state of emergency. israel's travel restrictions now ban entry from all african nations except those in north africa the deputy head of citizens governing council is told on reserve at last month's military takeover was the best option to stop what he calls a spiraling crisis. general mohammed hamden de danco holsen is met. he says the
