the biggest effects are likely to be in preventing infections, and hopefully there will be smaller effects on preventing severe disease questions . at the same time, the government scientific advisors are recommending people are offered booster jobs just 3 months after their 2nd vaccinations. and the programs being extended to any one age 12 or over. over in portugal, they've identified 13 cases of omicron among team members of the lisbon based professional soccer club balances. only one had recently traveled to south africa as more and more countries place restrictions on people traveling from south africa and the region. the united nations is urged the world not to penalize countries for identifying and sharing crucial science and health information. that's a theme taken up by the world health organization. ami kron demonstrates just why the world needs a new r court on polemics, our current system. this said, this incentivized countries from alerting others to threats that

will inevitably land on their shores. many countries in europe are already worried about the winter. here in milan, people have to wear face coverings outdoors, as well as in doors between 10 in the morning and tenant night. but as nations consider how to protect their own populations, the calls get louder to ensure developing countries can access vaccines. the dean barber al jazeera, the trial of british socialite, galle maxwell has begun in new york. the 59 year old is accused of enabling the crimes of convicted peter found jeffrey epstein, who died 2 years ago while awaiting trial. maxwell insist says she is innocent and denies any one doing talks to resurrect the 2015 nuclear deal have restarted in vienna, representatives from russia, china, germany, france, and the u. k. are sitting down with iranian officials. iran stock negotiators said

with my father had given the address of the adobe in a small town. this is where some of my videos live. it was then by day and room with more than 7 or 8 people living in beth. and every morning i'll get up and go a studio for a studio that was not easy to come up. i didn't have any feed is i didn't have much exposure as well. i learned anything from a small institute in jim j 4 and came here. so it took almost 3 month lease to find a job. we do id just very soon. i started getting good offers and all i,

i started with tv and then moving to phone some big phones like being cited chocolate. you see, my dream was always to become a filmmaker, but i, i wanted to do a property of addition. and last day news, i've been doing documentary films and know i've been very confident to do a future. mm hm. and we're just to look, this is mindy and nea. i see the lead actors and shadow lead actor. what of this study is extremely close to my heart because i come from bending down richard. we used to be a very slow down and now becoming really big down. and so it basically leads to the idea of the fin nighted. this group i was sort viewed the video

like them like them see, i don't think it is his side, but toward i, if you put us image, i let him on for those. ha, ha ha, ha, exactly. this is the car. deal my knees with what and back who's in that he mentioned was not that much. he was doing poorly. feel the car, dan, call you back. all those got it to us in my film already. i nod impressed me and for me it was important to goest actors who need to be famous, as well as have very similar experiences. so they fit in that to lead to the correct office. after the 1st mid morel's more since it is got to let go, you did her once in with her and sang also. and we did very intimate scene

just to check it brought the lead actors, how comfortable they are with each other. and that was great, in fact, they were meeting for them, but both of them sure. how professional they're in the same way we did once in with web g and mung la. within 510 minutes bought the characters prepared and did imaging no delivery. okay. with this is our last meeting from here on, we'll just meet on the safe a a good

fit for you is a small travel village. from there it ended up becoming the largest video. this did open if you see this factories, this used to be a residential combined. it's late on was before the, when the small coming out in the near a really hot in dom shared or because of this pollution in the factories. when we were in college, this is to we are hard to spot. this was our cinema hall. basic any now there is none. thanks to this please. and for me to say it is here. i had access to the best cinema from it on the wood. this the land here is very rich,

will of natural resources and minions. and unfortunately that has been the biggest goods for childhood. almost the entire state is dug up. people very constantly get moved from their own place. somehow, it's already connected to my film as well. almost the same thing is happening in the name of freedom in the name of development in the name of technology. how slowly and slowly we destroy ourselves. with

data men dressed as women is part of part of the festive with. c 7 different yeah, oh my little of them of them. i didn't make a. 6 boys in i was know with, when i came to this village mustang,

these unheard not existing. it's a year and a half i'm talking about. so that's why we had selected this village unit in the other part of it is there is no, none of these things were to happen. and now that most of our location says here, look and we are showing a village to secret. i do the interval and so we have to somehow hired these things. do the enter with like every other body would penance. my for miss also divided into parts by an interval. in the 1st part of the phone, the villages anonymous completely cut off from the rest of the one. and in 2nd part, when would that he says tricker bridge. first time when i came, nobody was speaking to us. it took a roof, steven for it time when we realised that dickens speech in oh

boy, oh, i go with her for august 1 of our i either early music. yeah. i think i love you. ah. yeah. i don't want him to say i. 2 0 wow you huh? you filled with ng is oh, so just well, i could barely. if i have to look so hard for us more, i will quit smoking. these do and got all my books cuz you need you, i just, i guess my just the latest and i you them that that matches up

with the other. i live and my both of them knew me. so this is the, exactly the kind of village i grew up in, which was completely cut off from the rest of the what we had our own sort of economy, which was i said, all of them about a system where everybody did everything for everyone. so entire community will assemble 3 times a day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. but then government res, technology, it is developmental, raised money, wrist. all the characters in my story are that he had characters. i mean, this is exactly the famous story. i've tried to write, which was under the desk. i think government has got the

news of us suiting here. because the only reason i say that this is because it would no more than if you had come. there was no electricity or no food that within the year it has has gone, electricity has gone. so almost now we're playing a chasing game with government. we don't one development for us. and they don't want us to suit not develop village. i won't get to use it as it is. but yeah, when we came for ricky there, exactly. he was gone. has gone. almost the script is playing exactly the scoop is playing out here with so i'm heading towards my bed in space. the village where i grew up

and in last tried to 25 years. i've been away from this village, but perhaps from outside i could really give the difference while people are richer, they have bought money, but something went missing in the process. and that's why it hurts when i see changing it. when i see people not talking, when i see it's growing into a more or less individualistic society. and i think that was the result. i started writing and i ended up writing efficient this school at that should be that that's my that with

so this but a good 3 had huge significance in my life. this was out of school in 5. ology used to sit there and we used to, i finished my family education here, right in the district. this is the place we're 1st am. i was a phil. this is where the magic started seeing. and we thought which in look at the basic, those moments. and i'll go and acting like him for next 6 months. the nearest cinema holds from here wasn't, has anybody was, is almost 50 kilometers away from you and her. i'll bunk my school. i'll do everything. i'll walk. there was no, no bus or no, nothing to go there. so i would walk 15 kilometers almost a day to watch a film and then come back here. and the only thing i wanted to become in my life was fin mega. for last 10 years. i've been making documentary films,

but my religious won't consider me a filmmaker because my documentary doesn't lee in the nearest cinema, which is still 50 killer, we just have a best or so one of the reasons why i want to make a feature film which can play in the nearest city mahash, where i can take my religious and show them look the dream which had a started pretty 5 years ago. is here. miss with a to go

with. i didn't know where to go with it. soon ideal the up here take it that much highly. a 1000000000. peggy leggy mapquest may have a cannot be not quite that i gave when they get a me a it was a limbic now you, i did my case in a neat,

clean kid that they owe you as and colleen got a ga, ga, ga gov. you can get the lab and i can take a look at it. go get on the hadn't gone gone. gone. gone? gone? well obviously the big about is making a big deal. this old lady. she didn't want to leave this host sadie and give it to julia which will get to lake lake, uneasy hidden. i said, oh, this is lake close to what it was. things like them in floating has come. there was also been floating. the biggest thing which hurts me is this whole because i used to run from here to the end. now because that belongs to my,

their invoices and both of these and who have decided to keep a wall. so they don't face this used to be made on this with this character completely. this is where i was jody and i went back 30 years. this place was completely different. but a few ways. everything was, in fact, it was one of the most self reliant village. it had its own economy. everything got produced here. people were happier, there was no religion here. everybody celebrated every system. so there is some very fundamental question we need to us to us have. and that's what i've just sort of to india side by side for people to see and decide which was good

. ah, ah ah, a with

a yeah, my local exhibit. yeah, i don't know if you want to live with you who up with a hard to see that a go ready. ready was with with all the group members an entire cost is here today. i took them through all the locations and said everybody know knows where basically they belong. this is
