you are truly a doctor of humanity and hope to see the world. what was the don't to musical mission, syria, him and, and southern turkey. doctor with hold on now to sierra ah gemini, boss, on vaccinated people from most public places to avert another way of coping 19 infections. when a fight is variance with science and speed, not chaos and confusion. yes, president joe biden unveiled his winter plan to combat than expected search and current virus cases. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this is al jazeera die from dell ha. also coming up the u. s. ones, russia at serious consequences if it invades ukraine. but moscow denies allegations

is planning on attack. and the sky is the limit. china is impressive, tall buildings are expected to dominate the world architecture festival. ah, rising corona, virus infections and the arrival of a new very job pushing several countries to look at strict measures to contain the spread in germany, unvaccinated people will be banned from much of public life. outgoing chancellor angler merkel calls the restrictions an act of national solidarity. germany's parliament is also considering imposing a vaccine mandate under simmons reports on the situation across europe. in less than a week, the only chrome variant has swept the globe with more uncertainty about cove it in many countries, especially in europe, new restrictions were being introduced anyway with the winter surgeon delta variant

infections. germany is the latest to announce new measures. signs like these vaccinate immunized is the way this country and others are now heading the unvaccinated on our bod from access to all but essential businesses such as grocery stores and pharmacies. angler merkel says new stricter measures are essential in a situation she finds depressing. as it was got anything at the internet and to be quite honest, the fact that we are now in the middle of such a strong 4th wave does not make me happy. it depresses me, especially when i look at certain regions in france, where the health services struggling with record numbers of covey infections. the government, scientific advisor believes the amik chrome variant will be dominant within a matter of weeks laverne me. soon as i can brag a regular volume, the real enemy is the 5th wave with the delta variant. there will be some time

before the army con variant establishes itself in france and in europe. in general . we estimated to be at the beginning of 2022 of at the end of january, you do need one in the u. k, where booster jobs will be available to anyone over 18. the arrival of the on the chrome variant has led to a clamor for vaccinations. we're starting to see people who i think probably anxious about the me. very listening come across in class to get people coming for their 1st and 2nd jazz that they couldn't possibly had monsak i, you case prime minister boris johnson himself got his booster on thursday. in germany, the government will also consider compulsory vaccinations and those people put their hopes in jobs. being able to ward off or ma chrome, something that scientists sister unsure about. there's a chilling prediction from the european union's public health agency. it says that within a few months the omicron variant could be causing more than half of covered infections

in the e u. and from the norwegian capital also one of a warning, more than 50 people have been infected with the on the chrome variant at a christmas party in a restaurant. the government says they were all vaccinated. and re, simmons al jazeera south africa has reported more than 11 and a half 1000 new code 19 cases in just 24 hours. that's 5 times the number reported just a week ago. when so african scientist alerted the world about the new variant health experts say on the crohn is driving up infections in the country, but deaths and hospitalization so far arising at a much slower rate, which at least sales is from the university of brazil natal. he says, researchers need more time to understand and evaluate. it's spreading very rapidly through our community again. and i think you know, that it, this bread is time started very much in how tang providence and it's more generalized in that province now. but really what we're seeing across the country

now is, is the exponential rise in cases. and that's when the numbers get scary at each day. you're going up by quite a substantial amount. and, and what we're seeing still is that this piece of research came out today from some colleagues giving us a little another piece of the puzzle, really that, that there clearly is an increased risk of re infection. so that's people who have had corporate before. and now testing positive again, and we have teams who've been tracking that over the course of the pandemic can they can show just in the past few weeks that the, the number of people testing positive again, has gone up quite substantially. and that gives us this clue again, that this, that this baby and had significant kind of immune if asian properties that it can

get right. and some of the protection still most of the spread up till very recently has been in the younger age groups. and so, so a lot of what, what doctors are seeing it's still mild, but we need time for, for the older age groups to be effective to, to start to really see and get a clear picture of the severity of illness. and the world health organization has addressed the spread of the con cases across parts of asia. several countries in the region of band flights, from what they call higher explanations, india, south korea, japan, hong kong and austria of all reported cases of the new covered 1900. very, none of the information we have currently about only wrong suggest we need to change the directions of our response. our experience of the last 2 years, especially in dealing with the variance like build up, provides a guide about what to do now. as well as how to be the future in

a more sustainable way. by rating this one's measure to each country context using 5 key tools in combination. we can avoid the red line and minimize helping back as well as social and economic disruption. tony chang has more on the spread of the variant across asia. the w 2 were inside asked about spike's infections that have been seen in singapore in south korea, countries where there are very wide vaccination programs. those don't appear to be down to the new variance. however, the w h o suggested that was because of increased opening policies and increased social interaction. after the coven measures the been put in place for the last 18 months, they said that was likely, but they didn't nodes the serious infections and death remaining very steady and relatively low at the moment. and they said, that's a sign that current policy is working. we've also seen countries like the

philippines who have had relatively low vaccination rates, trying to push the explanation drives. they were aiming for 9000000 people vaccinated in 3 days. they had managed to get 7.6, but i think it's a sign in this region that in many countries were the omni chrome very and hasn't yet been detected. the acutely aware of the fact that the one thing that's really going to stop this or it, they probably won't be able to stop it at the borders. but the one thing from stuffing is spreading as delta has in this region will be widespread vaccinations and booster programs. that however is going to be a complication because many countries here had problems getting vaccinations they, they were looking for supplies from developed nations. they are getting those 1st supplies now, but boost the supplies will really strain the supply chains. they are trying to increase the vaccination production in this region. but there's going to be a program that takes some time to come through. now the u. s. as reported on

a cron in 5 states, including one person in hawaii who had no history of travel. president biden as announced, tied to restrictions for international travelers, is also appeal to all eligible americans to get booster shots. she have a chance he has more from washington d. c. a president biden had been due to outline a winter plan for dealing with coven, for the discovery of the on the crown variance. but the president appeared hopeful that even those reluctant to get vaccinated were changing their minds. now there's some evidence in one poll, i won't mention it because i'm not positive of the number was told this is i was leaving the white house that there is an expectation that 30 percent of the non vaccine center. no circumstances would i get a vaccination because of the new variant are now saying i'm going to get them activations. vitamins filing an approach based on what he calls, firms and speed and not chaos and confusion. the underlying principle of his winter

plan to make resources available to prevent another lock down. it doesn't include shutdowns or locked downs, but widespread vaccinations and boosters and testing a lot more in order to ensure the 100000000 eligible americans who have yet to get a booster shot do so they will be contacted and availability ensured hundreds of family vaccination clinics will be opened, where all eligible age groups can be vaccinated at the same time. and mobile vaccination clinics will be sent to underserved areas to prevent school pleasures. the centers for disease control will release their findings on whether it's possible to test or students on site. instead of sending them home after a coven case is reported, home testing kits will be covered by health insurance or provided free for those without insurance. the number of surge response teams, medical staff can be deployed into areas where medical resources being strained by the virus will be increased by this pledge to speed up delivery of the vaccines. it has promised to the developing world and travelers to the required to be tested within a day before departure. instead of 3 days,

the mosque mandate on public transportation will be extended into much some scientists and the world health organization about the case for boosters, for the entire adult population. and not just a particularly at risk simply hasn't been made, nor is the evidence as yet the boost is increased protection against on the chrome, the w h. i use it to prevent further variance. the priority should be to get vaccines the developing world i call on all member states to choose to achieve our targets of vaccinating 40 percent of the population of every country. by the end of this year, and 70 percent by middle next year. something button didn't announce was requirements for vaccination for domestic ad travel and measure that some of you will further nudge the us as unvaccinated eligible adults to get the shot. but at a time of nation wide legal wrangling of a vaccination mandates in the workplace, that would clearly be a hard sell for some shape or time. see al jazeera washington,
