it almost invariably is ultimately going to go essentially all over the issue of blocking tray of a travel from a good and country is to just give us time to assess it better. and despite the on the con variant, having significantly more mutations than previous variants, there is cautious optimism that existing vaccines can be adapted to tackle it. you're not going to see a new vaccine in the next few weeks, or even, you know, the next month or so. but he's going to take longer than that. but it will not take the amount of time that it would normally take to manufacture and deliver that steam. it can be done at speed. now because of the understanding and knowledge that we have. oh, for the biggest i lemme for politicians. and scientists is the question of public compliance, though a violent anti lockdown protests in the netherlands and belgium last weekend and switzerland votes this weekend. and whether to scrap the countries vaccine certificate scheme, despite rising infections,

that with uncertainties around the on the con, variant. me precautionary restrictions will likely meet pushback whole brennan al jazeera and south africa government is complaining about the way it's been treated since identifying omicron part of a foreign ministry statement reads this latest round of travel bands is akin to punishing south africa for its advanced dynamic sequencing and the ability to detect new variance quicker. excellent science should be applauded, not punished for me. the miller, a pause now from johannesburg, while the south african governments urged people not to panic, many or worried, especially as some continue to rush to leave south africa. my family generally as a whole, as dis, ready deflated by the entire situation. disappointed not feeling as though wishing catch a great. we haven't seen each other for 3 years. many have struggled through a slump in the economy because of previous travel bands and locked downs. and the

now uncertain about how the new army cron variant will affect them. some been civil leveling and, and then let's go and get vaccinated. especially people my age so we can protect ourselves. that's all i can say. i know we all have our opinions about the vaccines, but on my side i want to get vaccinated. but there's been a slower than expected vaccination rate in south africa. slightly more than 40 percent of adults have had at least one job. in terms of um, vaccinations. oh to oh it's, it's some of truth with it's a big needle nod whitlow too, too, too much or 2 people to get in. did he did mention a suit at this point because the living in luke avila, excuse gifford. read look right now, is it in 2 different scenarios and as soon as possible, as the holiday season approaches, the tourism industry had expected an increase in visitors,

a recent base just do not work. travel bands, especially when they are performative in this way target a few countries and not others where we already know the variant has already been isolated, like in the u. k are ineffective, but not only that, when done in this way, all they do is perpetuate stigma. and xena phobia against a country in south africa. they did the right thing that after this this, this variance was isolated by dr. sequel lilly. i'm loyal, as in bob, leon, scientist, based in botswana that says nothing about wind is originated. it just means that's where this superior science was done. the ability to use genomic sequencing was done. i mean, this is as a country that has done exactly what they're supposed to do, be transparent, use the superior science to be able to let the world know what's going on. and then

for south africa and 7 other african countries to be targeted to a travel bands with other countries that we know of right now, have the same variance is completely unacceptable to me, right? when we talk about global of vaccine inequity, we always think about this as a supply issue. but mistrust and access are equal parts of this. and do we not understand why mistrust does not perpetuate when we continue to do things like this . this is absolutely unacceptable. from says it's open to discussions about guadalupe running more of its own affairs. there has been a week of protest in the french caribbean island against compulsory cove at 19 vaccinations. and does natasha buckler reports from the territory. the unrest just tapped into other frustration. well, the french government's decision to impose mandatory cove. it vaccines on health workers are in mainland france and across overseas territories is the issue that really sparked these protests and blockades that have lasted nearly 2 weeks now.

now with the adult adopted community, both in korea as well as a broad, as a greater effort to both support unwed mothers as well as changed sort of broader narratives around why children were place for adoption. so when thinking about international adoption at that time period, korean children are the largest export and that was really reliant on sort of the both the reproductive labor of korean women as well as just the economic labor of many of these economically precarious families who really was children during that era. now young people are being offered free vocational training in ne nigeria officials in bono state hope that will reduce unemployment and keep more young men from joining on. groups of criminal gangs offered intra support staff in the state capital. my jewelry. isaac peter, has landed. his 1st job was still in the middle of training program to be a metal fabricate. the 25 year old has already started dreaming big.
