all that's worth the northeast of namibia, south west of botswana, and really now a huge swath of south africa were seen as so on saturday. i think both for johannesburg and cape town, we will get into the what weather and we may even power up. some thunderstorms for places like durbin, for example, kit towns got a high of 22 on saturday. that's it. see again soon. ah, a mass pro democracy movement, violent crackdowns assassinations, and you imposed sanctions all tactics and the struggle that ensued from the 2020 bella routine presidential elections. that shook the country, self proclaimed dictators. seat of power. and now new tactics, migrants, people empower, investigates, the humanitarian disaster on rivaling on europe's borders and asks what's next and the battle for bella. bruce on a jazz eda ah mother nature's gift of

cold full landscapes. a strong infrastructure governance arising were investments are waiting to flourish. were greeted even supplied by tradition. who were beautiful. both of you are offered. move ah, welcome back here watching the al jazeera usa, 31 minutes past the hour. these are you headlining stories, aaron's chief negotiator has told l 20. well,

powers cannot reject draft proposals. it's submitted. during euclid talks in vienna, in an exclusive interview, oliver gary connie said, all nuclear related sanctions from the u. s. should be removed. lebanon's information minister has announced his resignation in an attempt to resolve a spot with saudi arabia and other gulf states george. but i had said the who c rebels in yemen were put defending themselves. south africa's health ministers as the country has entered its 4th wave of corona virus infections. fueled by the new army kron variance, more than 11 and a half 1000 infections have been confirmed in one day. okay, let's take a closer look now at how the army cron variant has been spreading in south africa. its earliest detection was in co tang province on november the 8th since then. it's been recorded in 5 of the countries, 9 provinces, and as of right now, it spread to 38 different countries, 11 and a half 1000 cubic. 19 cases have been reported in south africa in the past day,

fueled by army kron. that is a significant jump from just over $300.00 cases. the month before. let's bring in harry moultrie. now he's a senior medical epidemiologist at the south african national institute for communicable diseases and one of the researches who publish the reinfection findings about ami kron. he joins us from johannesburg. harry, welcome to the news out. so 3 or 6 months ago, the dominant delta variant begins to get more traction across southern africa. what did the delta variant do? or what was done to it, to change it to army crop? the good question, we don't have a handle on the evolutionary process that led to the emergence of chrome does appear that i may con, was derived from infected beach lineage. so it is either the interesting in

a small hidden population where we haven't had sights of it to have apps, a sub population which doesn't have strong networks into, into the rest of the country or other places. or perhaps it has been evolved within a single or a cup of small number of individuals of a long period of time. and during this time, it is acquired a large number of mutations, both spike mutation spike protein, but also with an other areas of the variance. so it has emerged in how tang quite suddenly that whether, whether it was circulating in other parts of the world before this we don't, we are seeing these reports as well. harry saying that it's maybe mutated in a small subset, you're talking about subsets here. a small subset of people who were h i v positive anyway, for researches who wants to find the silver bullet for omicron is the key thing

there. that we're talking about a subsets of people who only have a drug supported immune system or they have no immune system. anyway. first of all, i think it's important to note that we have no evidence between a connection between the traces individual and the emergence of what we call our that does seem like that. what might of occurred is that the, the b to remain with an individual and was able to continue to replicate for a long period of time and attention to that there was a chevy. we simply, mike well, person with different immunosuppressive condition, in fact, a different sets of events entirely. i didn't think that looking at the a chevy populations of particular interest just now. what we do know is that it's widespread and circulation very rapidly in many countries. and so i think that the

critical issue that we've got to get a handle is we are seeing a signal that the an economy is able to evade the immunity provided by prior infections. we have enough study to take to, to, to, to prevent a substantial increase in rates of re infections. but what we don't know is how severe these reinfection, the individuals who get infected. we also don't, to what extent vaccines are protecting individuals. and to the extent that things will protect people against disease thing was that crystal have to find out, pardon me for interrupting you. that staying with that idea of the severity of cupboard 19. when somebody contracts it and the contract covered 19 and it started off as a micron, are the symptoms more or less worse or better than the delta variant or vintage

corona virus. the original corona virus from 2 years ago. now, there has been a lot of speculation. i love anecdotal reports from clinicians. you've seen patients who have been telling us that they are sitting lists via infections this time around in this way. but i presume, on the contrary, i think the 2 important things to remember that that 1st of all has to be 60 to 70 percent of the population. i've already had covered at some point before. and it's likely that they have a high level of immunity, possibly protection against severe disease. so, you know, it's quite hard at this point to be sure about whether the disease severity profile that we are seeing in south africa would translate into other parts of the world. furthermore, the cases of a really new, rapid, new increase in the last 2 weeks. and there's quite

a delay between they've been people get infected when they get hospitalized. and then there's another delay before the hospital a day to get to us in order for us to analyze each. so i would say at this point, we need to treat with caution. all analyses of the severity of the con. there many factors which may be a place that nations prior infections, the age profile of the people who infected early in the ways tended to be very young. a lot of them were 15 to 25 age group, and they often don't present to severe disease. so i think really at this point, this quite live uncertainty, and i certainly wouldn't draw any conclusions from the severity profile. and so the action that we had substantial prior infection to, to with my transpire in other parts of the world, harry, can we talk about the practicalities of the push back against the crowns the next minute or so? does this, therefore, in your mind,

strengthen the case for 3 or maybe 4 vaccines for everyone as quickly as we possibly can. because if shoots do multiple vaccines on every one on the planet, literally, i guess that would be the go to the ideal go to situation. you're then eradicating the spread of the ordinary legacy corona virus from 18 months 2 years ago. but you're also eradicating the chance that in, in a parallel timeline, if you will, or me cron, cannot exist or come into being and therefore then survive and infect people, young people, people with underlying health issues. let's be care. we're not going to eradicate re, to it is going to continue to circulate within the population for many years to become eventually move towards the end of mississippi. that process is going to be a bumpy ride and will take us some time. but there's no chance that we're going to be able to eradicate those fires. however them all virus we have in

circulation, the greater the speed with which it can evolve. it has more, more very on symbol opportunity turbo. i think the, the key issue here is that we have a temper response. we would understand that the, the gain now is really to, to avoid severe disease and death. and that trying to prevent translation and contain transmission is no longer terrible. so, so i'll focus really does need to be towards severity. and the way that we're going to achieve that is by we believe vaccinations. so at the moment we do not have any good day with the vaccine effectiveness is against this particular strain or on the phone. but it is like, it is likely that the t so which get stimulated by prior infection or perhaps by

vaccination, will provide some level and perhaps quite good level of protection of severe disease. so certainly, my advice is, is regardless of the effects nation should really be there. and the message is to be that people should get back to void, severe disease and death. and that's really where the game should be going. last point, harry, if we're heading now rapidly, i guess in the scheme of things to a point where this is endemic, it's not a pandemic. it is an endemic disease. does that mean that if one's health care provider be at the g p ospital? and i see you whatever, if they are involved in the process of at least 3 or 4 vaccines per what 1518 months per person. does that mean the other areas of health care are understandably going to be compromised? because people will not be able to get to a g p or a doctor or a specialist because their health system is going to be so absorbed into the fight

against ami kron uncovered 19. that cases of cancer won't be found. they won't be discovered. they won't be diagnosed, people with alzheimer's that will go undiagnosed at the point when they could receive medical help. very briefly, please. because we could, which is not it in the city. yes. i think the thing that's the long term where we will land up it's, you know, as we can see by the kinds resurgence in south africa, we kill you. not that however, i do think that i wouldn't, i'm not overly concerned by the risks of the impact of vaccination programs on, on health care. i think what is far more damaging to health care access is when we have health care work is a sickly stuff. another available to go to work there and i solution that damages health care capacity, i think far more than perhaps

a vaccination program which can be relatively easily implemented scale and ok across the globe. right. okay, we'll have to leave it there, but thank you so much for giving us that information on that clarity on this developing aspect of the current of virus pandemic. harry moultrie. they're talking to us from johannesburg. well, even before the world was talking about the micron barrier seems the pandemic was still impacting economies and growth, the u. s. economy, i did fax you a jobs them as expected. last month, according to the latest figures, only $210000.00 jobs were added in november. monthly job growth has averaged $555000.00 so far this year. still, the unemployment rate has dropped to 4.2 percent. that some good news for professional and business services, transportation and manufacturing, but employment in retail. well, that does continue to slide in the lead up to the holiday shopping season. it is, of course, a hectic period. millions of workers have decided to change jobs. this g a during the so called great resignation, a labor shortage,

high inflation and supply chain issues of cold economic growth. let's talk to patricia sub gum. she's the managing business editor at al jazeera digital. she joins us from new york. patricia, welcome to the news. we've had 18 months of being told the u. s. economy is either flat lining or is just picking up some steam heading in the right direction. how can people afford to lose their jobs or to resign from their current jobs and try and find something else? while americans are just simply resigning their quickening their jobs and record numbers. and that's really underscores the strength that we're seeing in the us labor market. there are a lot of factors that are contributing this and a lot of ideas are being floated out there. one really isn't that we're seeing the scarcity of workers is simply that some people are afraid to go back to work because the coven, i teach. but there's other factors that play as well. a lot of people believe the

baby boomers took early retirement during the pandemic. because their stock portfolios and the value of their houses have gone up so much because of the federal reserve, low interest rate policies. and also the united states is an incredibly entrepreneurial nation. and indeed, the other theory is that a lot of people have simply decided that they don't want to work for somebody else, that they want to simply open their own business and work for themselves. so all of these factors are contributing to what we are seeing right now is the great resignation. very briefly, patricia, the markets and economies around the world. they liked this wonderful thing called stability. would there be more stability if americans started spending between thanksgiving, which we just had and the holiday christmas season just around the corner? of course, would that be most ability if they started spending, as they used to spend before cove, it hits american consumers are spending up a storm. actually,

they have very high savings rate because of the pandemic. and really, what we've seen is a shift and how they spend. so prior to pandemic, they were spending largely on services. but since the pandemic strokes, they have been spending more on goods and you're right, we are entering the very critical holiday shopping season. and we want to see very strong robust retail sales because consumer spending drives 2 thirds of us economic growth. but there is a lot of uncertainty on the outlook, especially with the emergence of the con. barian. ok, we'll leave it there. thanks so much patricia soccer. they're talking to us from new york. not more than half the refugees living in camps on the greek mainland are in danger of going hungry off the authorities. restricted aid john surplus reports from a refugee camp near child kita. asylum seekers served lunch at it's on a camp. 90 kilometers north of athens. on today's menu. burger's with mashed potatoes or pasta with polonaise sauce. there's a choice of salad, fresh,

tomatoes or beat. some people take the food home. others just take the salads and throw the cooked meals away. but of anna a, mary, an afghan, who's lived this camp for 2 years, explains why they don't want to take the food because they donate it. they don't want it because it is not eligible for most of them and it is getting repeated especially for the children. such food waste seems incomprehensible. especially considering that of the 18000 refugees living in camps on the mainland. 60 percent are in danger of going hungry. that's because state aid is given only to those in the process of applying for asylum. and most camp presidents have already been accepted or rejected. they're now expected to fend for themselves or leave the country. but excluding these people from state aid, say, refugee charities, undermines what the government achieved by putting them in camps in the 1st place. few months ago when people were but not the same, you saw them in the invoice,

and it was the same government with zoning mckesson. and i was the same government was asking them to lead because they need to remember and many here say the government has just made the problem worse. governments have typically taken over tasks, aid groups developed in times of crisis. earlier this year the government took over management of mainland camps from the united nations on october 1st, it further shrank the u. n. 's role, assuming responsibility for cash handouts. these transitions haven't always gone smoothly. the 40 percent of camp presidents eligible for cash hasn't received any for 2 months, starving a fledgling economy inside the camps and leading to hunger crisis. many like the american, emily has been granted asylum, a living off savings. others rely on cash from relatives. this age group say is a manufactured crisis,

resulting from greece is lack of integration policy for refugees. all of them are external. isaiah, a resource for, and they're not that big. just make a real support. and the plan that we look at their needs from reception point to gratian and then that will just be an asset for us. and not the burden greece says it is merely implementing the law supporting those deemed in need of protection and asking everyone else to go away. but they have no where to go. jobs are hopeless at the malika and it's on a refugee camps. still ahead on al jazeera, we've got the smallest news with far ismael. yes, we're here from the new inter manager at manchester, united and tell you about our record score in the n b. and of course we've gone goals from the fif, an era cap ally from our special waterfront studio here in catherine. ah,

with with ah, a whole

hour for well them to algae. there is special coverage of the fee for the tournament, doubling up as a major warm up event for the cats are woke up next year. hello, i'm far. it's now plenty of sport going on this evening and here's what's coming up on the show. apathy for era cub host nation cats are book a spot in the quarter finals away from the aircraft, matches do not in new inter managers, but these are open to keeping the job beyond this season. and, and the, and the, the map is grizzlies record the biggest victory in elite history.

ah, we start with the era pop and as mentioned cats are through to the quarter finals following a t one victory over oman. the match was heading for a draw before the home side were gifted an own goal, more than 6 minutes into stoppage time. let's take a look at the late drama, and catchall when it late fees delivers into we'll talk. he's going to close the lord. and here is the incident and is this a growth it's a good song. 7 i will, holmes will opt out of his resort ran from st. louis,

missouri, which is a amazing what us. but we have one more game we want all to play. want to make the people what out of the teamster in today to see the people hobbies runners. but they'll be as we also wanted to bring the we are going to go to final game. so i wanted to put a bird for fordable, gainesville, that's 2 games down on friday earlier and the same grew bahrain and iraq had a scoreless draw that human. it's time it's mauritania versus united arab emirates and syria played tennis. yeah, in the late game earlier today we rejoined here in the studio by far my all new ami, the communications executive director for the counter world cub organizing committee. and she explained to santa hamish, how the faith ara camp is helping preparations for counter 2022. it is really a great opportunity. we always have said that this tournament, it's for the out of broiled and actually having all the out of me, nations to be testing all of our venues for the 1st time. and to actually live the

tournament experience as if it would be like during the world cup, this would be actually a good opportunity for us from a, a to just all of our appropriations. we have all of our students actually ready, one year ahead of the tournament on for us now would was hosting this tournament. it's the opportunity to fine tune all of these plans for one year to the worth of itself. for my read one of your interviews, they're expecting what more than 1000000 fans for the cutter? 20. 22. how do you think? do you think that is going to be ready for that? many people we already we've been ready actually for a quite long time. all of the infrastructure has been completed. all of our stakeholders, like the, there's an upgrade to our express ways. the mature is up and running fully. we have an expansion and international efforts. and also like when it comes to the accommodations we have come up with an innovative solutions and variety. we always have said that this world cup will be an affordable workout for everyone. so they

will be available for $2.00 to $5.00 star hotel. and we also didn't want to leave a white elephant, so we made sure to have an innovative solutions. when it comes to accommodation. we're going to be having to cruise ships like a floating cartels. we're fine actually can stay through art. we also going to be having an experiential accommodation for people who would actually wants to have an experience deserts experience where they can actually located there. and that is actually one of the project that we're testing as well and the cup away from the our cup and ralph rack that says he's open to staying on his mattress united manager. beyond the season, the 63 year old german was in the stands to watch his new team beat arsenal 3 to on thursday. he's been signed up as in term boss until the end of the current campaign is set to take on a 2 year consult of the role with the club after that. the major target for me in the next couple of weeks, days, weeks, is just to, to bring more balance into the team. and if you look at,

look at the total goes number of goals conceded, it's almost to 2 on average to a game. and this is just too much, though with football for me, is to to minimize the coincidence flight factor and to have control and gain control on the game. and this is in football what it's about. and this is my approach. i will try to help this outstanding talented players to, to try and get and keep the way away from their own goal. and there was an incredible result in the end. the a, the manifest grizzlies ain't to oklahoma city founder by a record of 73 points. not shattered the previous biggest margin and 68 point sat by cleveland in 1991. you know, franchise records are obviously great. you know, i'm obviously proud of our guys that they don't think about that. you know, we're just motivated by, you know, what are our standards every single night i was see tonight. there was on pretty full display, you know, both often. so in defensively. but, you know, records or records records are meant to be broken. all those things that people say,

so what motivates us every single day is about just plain our best basketball tonight. not necessarily who we are and i think we've definitely shown that from a competitive standpoint. you know, this isn't this isn't indicative of who our team is. how we've competed all season now from training camp all the way through the games. you know, so it's important, i think keep that in mind internally for us and the controversial former had a world athletics. let me in the act has died at the age of 88. the senegalese was in charge for 16 years until 2015, but was convicted of extorting money from athletes to cover up doping cases. and i wasn't used to taking bribes for an olympic hosting vote. dad died in his home country. so that's all for now. our reminder of our top sports story, house nation cats or had beat no man to reach the quarter finals or the fee for cut all the back in a few hours time for another sports update. at 1845 gmc ah

mm. mm hm. the stage is set and its time for a different approach. one that is going to challenge the way you think from international politics, to the global pandemic, and everything in between. upfront with me, mark lamond hill on out 0 december 4th was c gumby, a vote. and the country's most significant election till date. it's been 5 years since the form on long term leda yard gummies printed to we are writing was brought

on antea. what political divisions remain can become libra on its prost democratic transition, special coverage on i'll just, even if america held up a mirror to itself, what would it see in a sense, race is the story of america. what's working and what's not. a lot of people were only talking about that. it wasn't at the top of the agenda. if america can handle multiple challenges on multiple france, we need to go back to school. the bottom line on al jazeera, a guess ah

ah, ah. the only cranberry drives up cobit 19 casey is in south africa. the health minister says the search can be managed without a strict to locked up. ah, welcome on peach adobe. you're watching l 20. live from our headquarters here. and there are also coming up aaron's chief negotiator says wealth powers can't reject the proposals at put forward during talks to revive the nuclear deal. lebanon's information minister resign.
