was i was with a short documentary sky african film, make it on the white 9. and the book make it africa direct on al jazeera ah, germany bar, as unvaccinated people from shops and leisure events in a bit to contain a dramatic rise in corona virus cases. ah, you're watching l 0. like for my headquarters in delphi, i'm getting obligated also coming up for us to reaffirm support for ukraine and discussed as possible sanctions against russia. while moscow denies it has plans to invade its neighbor. signs of progress as iran submits to draft proposals to european powers during talks in vienna to revive the 2015 nuclear zeal. warnings of

a worsening humanitarian crisis. the un says one in 29 people will need help in 2022. hello, several countries are stepping up measures to fight a surgeon current of virus infections and the next hour us president joe biden will unveil his winter plan to keep the virus in check. particularly the new army con variance. germany has become the leaders to impose restrictions on unvaccinated people borrowing access to all. but the most essential businesses, dominic cane is in berlin with more on what to expect. what this decision that has been announced here in berlin, in the course of the last few hours, represents, is a calculated targeted measure against the millions of people. millions of adults at least, who are unvaccinated,

and have chosen not to take the vaccine despite its ready availability. and free availability for the lion's share of this calendar year. so very soon, all those people who cannot prove that they have either been vaccinated or of recovered from the virus recently will be denied access to very many public places, public events right across the country. there will be particular measures in parts of the country where the incidence of cov, it is above a particular level. so in places where the influences $350.00 cases per 100000 residents. well there will that particular stringent measures would be in place. the reason for this is clear, because in the course of less than the last 3 weeks, 1000000 new cases of covert have been announced. that matters because in the

course of his calendar year, more than $4000000.00 cases of covert have happened. and in terms of the death rates here, it has more than tripled in the course of this calendar year. that is why in the course of the last few hours, the german government has decided to impose these measures specifically targeting the unvaccinated while in south africa, the 1st country to identify the new variance. the number of reported cases has doubled and a day signed to say the strain was in europe before flight bounds were imposed on countries in southern africa. but the countries vaccination rate is nearly half of the global average with nearly 25 percent from the mother has a latest from johannesburg. they has been a resurgence in numbers in about the last 3 weeks. and while they had concern around the daily rate of infections increasing just a day ago, they were about 4000 new infection. and now they're $8000.00 new in fix in the last 24 hours. while that is the case,

the infections appear to be mild and also what experts pointing out is a comparison between the 3rd and 4th way, which tells africa appears to be entering right now. during the 3rd way, there was an average of about 400 deaths a week. and wild africa is in the early stages of the 4th wave. experts are saying they are seeing an average of perhaps 25 bits the week and that potentially the number of people who are seriously ill become seriously low, could potentially die from coal that could potentially be harmed compared to the 3rd wave, primarily because of vaccines. and so the africa is in a unique position compared to many african countries, we just don't have as much access may not be able to afford those vaccines. there is a certain amount of vaccine hesitancy. and when this information trickles down to people, for example, the new variant with scientists are saying, well, we're not quite sure we know it may be more transmissible. we're still

investigating just how effective vaccines may be. this is the kind of information that adds to vaccine hesitancy. and concerns from people around just what, how effective the vaccines are and what if they were taking or india has identified its 1st cases the new on the crown variance to men in the southern states. karnataka tested positive after returning from abroad india as new travel restrictions for international passengers arriving from at risk countries came into force on wednesday. it includes the u. k. south africa, new zealand, bangladesh, hong kong, and israel. a pockets on his downs that will provide booster shots to health care workers. and people aged over 50 come hider reports from his lama bands so far over 50000000 people in budget don have been fully vaccinated. and that of course, means that just a little over 22 percent of the population. the recognition dr. rich tell on,

and children over grad, up to the age of 18 will also now be getting 5 their shock. but did it concern because of the new radian of go read 19 and that of god has the alarm bell ringing here and focused on according to the planning minister. it is now a question of week if not a month before dish wide a lounge on august on the story. and the budget on medical association had warned that the government much day actually in order to mitigate the face of the new radian and i've got means that there will be strictly controlled on the entry point on the airport. and also, just on these have been a while to come forward if they have not yet received those vaccines. the age of culture travel ban, which didn't play for hong kong and figure out african countries because of the great of the wider spreading from their budget on of golf. now going into action

more judge week, and it will be up to the performance of the government. how it gulps with this new trade of go read 19. radian, you are a secretary of state answering a blanket and says he's concerned about what he called russia as aggressive policy towards ukraine. after earlier, a meeting, ukraine's for minister blinking met his russian counterpart surg. elaborate to discuss moscow's troop filled up along the border of moscow, rejected allegations that it's planning an attack on ukraine. despite a massive russian disinformation campaign, ukraine is in no way posing a threat to russia or seeking a confrontation that would justify a russian military intervention. the only threat is that of renewed russian aggression toward ukraine. in my meeting with farmers for labor off, i made very clear our deep concerns and our resolved to hold russia are responsible

for its actions, including our commitment to work with european allies, to impose severe costs and consequences on russia. if it takes further aggressive action against ukraine, rosalyn jordan has this update from washington dc. essentially, this is a reiteration of the bind administration's view that russia is making a plans to do something nefarious to ukraine. the fear here in washington is that russia's planning, another invasion of ukrainian territory to try to capture what it considers historically russian territory, particularly in the eastern part of ukraine. the message that we heard from actually blinking is that the u. s. is simply not going to stand for it, but he would not answer our reporters questions about whether this would include some sort of military response. that certainly would be a grave escalation because both the us and russia are nuclear power states. and so this is a something that perhaps has not been envisioned in decades,

but certainly the idea that the u. s. would even entertain any such thing, such as a, providing military support in defense of ukraine, which is not a member of nato. is something that does certainly needed to be communicated on both russia and ukraine, have accused each other of ramping up tensions. and recent weeks. ukraine says more than 90000 russian soldiers or near it's border. moscow has dismissed allegations. it's preparing an attack. russia accuses ukraine of plotting to recapture areas in the east held by pro russian rebels. it says ukraine has gathered about a 125000 soldiers near the conflict zone. something he has denied. ukraine is not part of nato. the russian president vladimir putin as warren, that any expansion of the alliance is military infrastructure into ukraine would cross a red line. i have no doubt that the only way out of today's crisis is actually to

seek the balance of interests. and i would like to highlight that we are interested in taking steps to settle the green crisis. and american colleagues have said in numerous occasions that they are ready to help by the time she a dialog channel. i would also be interested in and to his explanation about the remarks he has delivered. by stating of the provision of the mince agreement, the russia has to fulfill. bernard smith has more for moscow on blinking meeting with a live ross. it lasted about an hour, the meeting between a live rovan anthony blink can according to a statement from the us state department and they said the meeting was serious, sober and business like it's the 1st time both diplomats have had to face to face meeting after russia started building up his troops again along the border with ukraine and again onto the blanket. and according to the state department, made clear that the u. s. and how the design of

a conflict with russia and bring blink and said he told us, sees a key to ending the conflict is the implementation of the bins agreement. and the allegations here are that russia and ukraine are not engaging in prisoners swaps. ukraine is not allowing local elections to take place in the area controlled by russian separatist. russia isn't removing heavy armor. lots of things like this should have happened by now. so this is what an exchange in russia will repeated its point about his red lines that he does not want to see nato expanding eastwards, taking in ukraine and ga iran has submitted to draft proposals to european powers, negotiating the revival, the 2015 nuclear deal, the talks are the 7th round to be held in vienna aimed at bringing iran on the u. s . back into the deal. they're meant to limit iran nuclear program and exchange for sanctions relief. on wednesday, the us nuclear watchdog set iran is expanding its uranium enrichment capabilities.

which is obviously something i think we can all support. we don't want rushers from the war. the conflict which continues to rage and not any pressures between different ethnic groups in that it, because identity as an ethiopian is a guarantee of survival and endure. and then any battle for adults with let's all hope another is no good news in that regard. recently, as a result of the action of the government, we've been able to stop moving trucks into, into, to gray from the region to gray at about a couple of 100 trucks overall are getting through with urgent medical supplies and food, which we will distribute the people in need that and of course we're very worried, as i've said elsewhere about the plight. so that's the 1st thing to get the supplies that are in the market as it were to the people. secondly,
