village and good stuff. permission going behind the lens as go to missing brings his personal story to life. al jazeera correspondent, my own private bollywood. for we're being punished for detecting the new virus very in the south. african government hits back at travel bonds. and the wave of virus restrictions raises fears, signs of a global economic recovery may take a hit ah hello, i'm running late. this is out. is there a lie from doha? also coming up. the u. s. is calling for urgent negotiations to and the conflicts in ethiopia, while prime minister abby asset is on the front lines. at least 3 people are dead

in the solomon islands, off the days of rotting against government policies. ah, we begin with the corona virus pandemic and the discovery of a new varian, cold army, chrome. it's seen countries around the world, restricting travel to and from southern africa, south africa, botswana, zimbabwe, namibia lesotho as what teeny and mozambique are among those affected by the rules . the news has shaken the world economy just as it was showing signs of her recovery stalks on wall street took a hit on friday before they closed for the weekend. and in south africa itself, the number of confirmed only chron cases are still relatively low. but the speed with which young people are getting sick is causing alarm as cross now to pro

brennan, who's in london for us. poor nice at this very is arriving on the scene in europe, which is already seeing big increases locked downs as a result of the delta variance. how is this news of this extra variant on the scene going to go down with the public? yeah, the serious concern among politicians and the scientists here they are trying to be cautious. they don't want to panic, the public, and they certainly don't want to start talking about re imposing really strenuous locked downs in those countries where they have been resistant to lockdown. so far, there is a question mark about how compliant the public will be if the scientists act quickly and impose locked downs before the evidence suggests those locked down so necessary. we already saw last weekend, for example, in vienna in croatia, in italy. big protests in belgium as well. big protests against the idea of vaccine mandate mandates and, and extra locked downs. that said, as you mentioned,

it's the timing that it's the worst possible timing. we knew that the corona virus, variance would be on the surge again during winter because people in the european continent gather together, it's colder it's wet. people don't tend to spend that much time outside the get together in houses and inside venues. and the delta variant is still in its kind of 4th wave here in europe. so to add a new, potentially more infectious variant is the worst possible timing pull at the this is something you're not going to be aware of on just hearing it. now from my producer, apparently news coming in on the wires that cases linked to this new variance have been discovered now in the u. k. in inc. very wiring indeed. well, it was seen that is news, but i can tell you that it was regarded as inevitable by several of the scientific

experts who've been interviewed on various media outlets here in the u. k. over the past 12 to 24 hours. basically, ever since the dutch netherlands cases were, were known about it was regardless inevitable in today's globalized society, with people flying around and with the gestation period of the corona virus being anything up to 10 days. perhaps even 14 days. that even after you've imposed flight bands on those southern african countries, somebody might be harboring the virus not yet being symptomatic and still arrive in u. k. shaws or in other countries here in europe and bring the virus here. it was. yeah, it was a concern. it was inevitable though, so i don't think that's going to be a massive surprise. the question mark would be now is, what is the response going to be to its arrival? indeed, and at what more can you tell us about this new variance? do we know much more about how quickly it's transmitting?

well, know that and that's one of the difficulties. and it's also one of the reasons why the scientists are being somewhat cautious before they start to say, look, it's more deadly. it's more infectious than not quite sure. yet the studies are ongoing, and what we do know is that these spikes, if you imagine the corona virus itself as a, as a bowl with these spikes, are coming off it, it's the mutations on those spikes and the significant number of extra mutations that this variant has, which makes it very different to the other variance that we've seen before. i think it's more, it's 32 mutations. but this particular very inter corona virus has different to the half a dozen that the other variants have had in the past. and it's the question mark as to whether those variations, those mutations will mean that the new variant is not going to be recognized by the vaccines that have already been put into so many people's arms. will vaccines work against this new variant? the scientists just don't know, i'm, without that knowledge, it's difficult to, to,

to decide as to how deadly it will be and how much more infectious it will be. so much more study needs to be done, but it needs to be done really quickly as the spread clearly is getting out and around the world. that is indeed pull brennan at that for us in london. and just to repeat it, that's nice. coming in just in the last few seconds, the u. k. help minister has fed bet cases linked trace to the southern african nie variance a have been found in the united kingdom. the latest coven 19 very might disrupt the global economy. just as it was starting to show signs of recovery. knees of the oma, calling the very and had an immediate impact on the wall street stalks and treasure yields sank on friday. it led to the biggest oil price drops since the pandemic began. europe's biggest economy, germany was already struggling to recover before a 4th wave hit and grew by just 1.7 percent in july. the global supply chain could

also face huge setbacks as several countries impose restrictions on lock downs, father disrupting manufacturing and shipping. and there are indications, interest rates could rise in the coming months. julian tang is a clinical the religious on, on the re associate professor at the department of the respiratory sciences at the university of lesta. he says there's an urgent need to increase vaccination, right to prevent more corona's variance from emerging. this is not reaction by these demands to a new threat from a different variance, and it just helps fix the by time to organize the isolation wanting facilities around the thought as well as some business that might be affected by this, this trouble man. i don't if you cases that was the one or 2 reporter for hong kong belgium to be the source, the origin of the parents always where we tend to try and ring fence if you like

those virus getting out of those populations and spreading more widely abroad but we're hoping that people be transparent and helped to care the fires globally, not the same time. so also encourage other nations to vaccines and delayed fax. those most need. so we need to have, as far as the forms and other populations as wow, and it's very early days at the moment, we don't know how much the parcel now back to the protection of the countries as well as 3 more impactful numbers. for example, who are on transplants, who have transparency on. when of alex just example, that was a different kind of demographic about those patients between so so the african states and the war developed western countries the united states says is greatly concerned about the escalate and conflict in ethiopia and has called for negotiations say department statement follows a phone call between the secretary of state and kenya's president. if your prime minister has joined the army on the front lines against grey and rebels from the

a small village from what he called the enemy and they're pushing ahead to be another town. and we'll call another town in the coming days. but again, this conflict is really affecting many, many people in the millions. and the prime minister saying is borrowing to go ahead and had very the enemy or, or one stuff or, and to end the company, they'll be gone a year ago once again. but the cheap enough is also saying they're marching ahead. they're not looking for any kind of negotiation. they're going to use military force to bring the kind of change they want to see. now being wanting to see a region change and a government change. and as you know, the government was elected this summer and the government has said, anyone who is in talks was cause of the government or trying to create any

transitional government will be charged. and the governments that they will be october, that in near of by state of emergency that's not just you know, telling you that they will do something, but they're going they have the power to really push this forward. okay, many thanks for that, samuel get to that for us and others of thank you. the bodies of 3 people have been found in a burned out building in the solomon islands. capital weather has been days of writing more than 100 people have been arrested. sarah clark reports bodies were found in this bird house building in the chinatown district. this area was the flash point for the last 3 days of writing. like a report suggests the remains of looters who trapped inside the store to

ah, welcome back to watching al jazeera, my deaf, our top stories. this our 2 cases of the new on recall and variance have been found in the united kingdom. meanwhile, south africa has been hitting back against the actions taken by countries like the u. s. in brazil to close borders with southern africa. it claims its being punished for detecting the new varied bust b. u. i said it's greatly concerned about the escalating conflict in south africa in ethiopia and has called urgent negotiations. if you have been prime minister abbey added as joined the army on the front lines against 2 grand rebels from the north. the bodies of 3 people have been found in

a burned out building in the solomon islands capital, where they have been days of rising protest. this won't be prime minister money say so very, to resign. french president emanuel macro has accused british prime minister boris johnson of not being serious about migration in the english channel. the french have also disinvite the u. k. from the european crisis meeting. if the latest deterioration in relations between the neighbors days off at least $27.00 refugees and migrant ground of the coast of northern france. molly gave us a lecture at the university of essex who focuses on refugee and immigration policies. she says migrants a, making the crossing because they are living in desperate conditions in france. one of the problems is that you k is not taking efforts to bide rights to asylum seekers were arrived in the u. k. and another problem is that france is also not

protecting rights of refugees. so neither country is really providing the rights that refugees need in france, refugees often can't access basic necessities like housing and shelter, and they end up living on the streets or in calais and so they risk their lives trying to reach the u. k. but they can't reach the u. k. safely, because there are no visas where they can access safe transport to the u. k. and so this leads to the tragedy that we saw now, according to french law. if your and asylum seeker, you should have access to housing and food while you're waiting for your assignment, claim to be processed. but france has intentionally not provided a budget to ensure that refugees aren't homeless. so for example, the french parliament recently agreed to allocate a budget for 4 and a half 1000 homes for refugees. but there are 50000 refugees who have just recently

been applying for asylum. and you have situations where refugees not only live without homes, but if they tried to set up a tent on the streets, police will flash the 10, destroy it, and confiscate sleeping bags. so the government is actively trying to course individuals to leave the country. and that's one of the reasons that they risk their life. trying to cross the channel. said alan's prime minister della hum dog has dismissed the police chief and his deputy police have been accused of using live ammunition on protest as opposed to the military takeover. and he's 41, people have been killed and move and 200 injured. let's go to hip morgan who's lying for us and call to him hippa, how is this move like he to go down with the public? presumably the prime minister made it to placate the protesters. well, it could be the reason why the prime minister made that move, but the public have been opposing the fact that he had signed an agreement with the

army in the 1st place. they were demanding accountability. they still are demanding accountability for the 41 protest who were killed in addition to the 200 protesters who have been injured over the past month or so. but they've also been processing something else over the past week. and that is the fact that prime minister had done the dog who was, who was the symbol of civilian rule, up until november 21st. when he finds that agreement with the military. now they think that it's a signature of bad agreement, which they say is a betrayal to the demands of the revolution. they had made it very clear that they wanted no negotiations with the army. they didn't want to give this military takeover and the disability. and they say that with prime minister handbook finding that agreement with the military, that is what he has done. now one of the clauses of that agreement that was signed, it was a 14 clause agreement, one of that, but it clearly states that there will be accountability and there will be investigations into the process the into the death process as well as the violence of that was committed over the past month and now protested,

may not take this easy despite the fact that it could be a step taken by the prime minister to appease the streets and try to use the momentum of the protest is to try to minimize the amount of people taking to the streets, demanding accountability. it's not clear if that would have any impact, especially because the anger is at the agreement more than the anger and more of the agreement. and the fact that prime minister to the lamb took signed an agreement in the 1st place. many thanks by hippa, morgan, their 1st in call to protest as in booking a fast. so a calling for the resignation of president brought cowboy as anger against a worsening violence by groups 3 bochita faster soldiers were killed during an attack on wednesday president, boris promised to end what he called dysfunction within the ministry. nicholas hack has reported extensively from lucky natasha. he joins us now. live from duck on seneca. nick, tell us a bit more about why protest is all so frustrated. they

are so frustrated and angry. in fact, as we speak of, as he security forces are fine, tear gas to try to calm this bound protest, but it's actually spreading from the capital walker to go into other major cities and burkina faso. but would you loss so, but also chaos. and there's a sense of frustration because there's been so much effort, in essence for the last week to, to actually stop the protesters from, from communicating the internet was down for the last week. it has been down to day . and so has this protest that has been banned by the government, a government that protest her se seemed to be so weak in the face of a surge of attacks from arm groups. and the latest one in particular, really shocked, or the public in brick enough. ah, so that was 2 weeks ago when security forces that had gone without food rations for

2 weeks and had to go out to hunt for food while they came under attack. at these 50 people were killed, much of the protest is in support of breaking of us us security forces. but also asking for the president to resign or for a new form of, of, of, of governance to try to, to try to find a way to stop the attacks of armed groups in the country, moline and nick. meanwhile, we hearing reports of escalation in neighboring new jan, where protests is, have attempted to block a french convoy, is that linked to what is going on here? absolutely, i mean what's happening burkina faso manager and molly are all linked and that's because of the rise of attacks by our groups. but also because of the presence of the french military and their operation back. and now, every month there is a convoy that travels from ivory coast through burkina,

faso tunisia. and on to molly, this time around though that convoy was stopped in walk a do go in, but would you la so and kaya, all those towns that i mentioned early on where there are protest going on. and the reason why people have stopped this convoy, is they accused the french of, of, of arming arm groups. in fact, the, the french forces are there to try to neutralize arm groups in the region. and just yesterday, the president of niger mahard presume, said that the french presence, they are grateful or at least the present is grateful for the presence of french military soldiers. because if they were to leave, then the whole region would be unstable. and yet, despite the presence of french soldiers and to regents the attacks, the that you know what, almost 1300000 people have been displaced in bertina faso, a quarter of a 1000000 just in the last few months. and most of the moline are children. so there's a great sense of frustration among people that are protesting today,

and they want to see some form of change in order to see burkina faso going towards more stability. moline, thank you for that. nicholas hack there. sizes of people in malawi are protesting against rising living costs, corruption, and government favoritism. her police fought t gas to break up the demonstration as a protest is march towards the council offices in the capital. the long way it was led by the former politician bond carlindo. he says, a government has backtracked on its promise to create jobs. iranian police say they were arrested 67 protesters during von in protest on friday of a drought social social media video show least some protesters clashing in the city of is for hon. at least 5 t gas. and for protesters with battens,
