a short while ago at china's foreign ministry spokesman said the us will pay a price for that decision. the u. s. a said it will not be attending the event because of but it cause human rights atrocities and genocide yom yvonne, diesel, yonder, ga, the u. s. a. standing opposed to athletes and sports lovers across the world. china deplores this and rejects this and has large, solemn representations and will take resolute counter measures. the u. s. should stop politicizing sports and stop disrupting the beijing winter olympics with words . otherwise, it might harm bilateral dialogue and cooperation in a series of important areas and international regional issues. she ones how continue has one hour from beijing, china's clearly furious. it says that the u. s. will pay, but it hasn't detailed what those counts measures might be. an earlier in his statement, jolly jen, the foreign ministry, spokes person accused the us of political prejudice. ideological bias,

political manipulation, and having sinister intentions. as we hud waging says that the lympics should be yours as a tool for international unity. and that any diplomatic boy runs counter to the spirit of the games, not when addressing the issue of alleged human rights abuses, engine john foreign ministry spokesperson said that these were simply fabricated. now the us of course disagrees. it says that china's treatment of the muslim league of population, that amounts to genocide, many human rights groups say up to 1000000, we get has been in prison. they say that force labor and sterilization are common. now they doing has repeatedly dismiss this, saying that any actions that they've taken into john, have been all about stumping out extremism. now we have other countries who are currently considering diplomatic boycotts as well, including the u. k and canada. and that's certainly going to be a bad look for aging. they were really hoping for positive optics during the

olympic games. so far, we've only had one major world leader confirm that they will attend the games. and that has been russia's, vladimir putin while jewels boy off is a professor at pacific university, oregon, and also an author on the lympics. he says, the us diplomatic boy isn't surprised. the olympics have been political since they were founded in the 18 ninety's by a plucky french aristocrat named baron pierre to cooper time. and they have remained political ever since. after all, in 1936, hitler hosted the olympics in berlin to great political effect for him and his regime every single olympics as political elements to it. and so when somebody tells you that the olympics are not political, typically they tend to be milking the olympic couch with both hands, meaning they make their living off of the olympic gains. and in fact, since the united states has making a diplomatic boycott of their beijing olympics is just further proof. in fact, you might think that this could be the death knell of that fable that the olympics

are not political. ready they are definitely political through through on the zealand also says it won't be attending china's winter olympics at that diplomatic level and says that decision mostly has to do with coven 19 and travel logistics. but still, the deputy prime minister says concerns about human rights still exist and had been raised with beijing. we might very regular statements around our views on human rights issues with respect to charter and the prime minister's race, those directly with prisoners g. i'm where we are already nor attending at diplomatic level as it were. and so it's a hypothetical from apple's we for now 3 political parties and germany had signed a coalition agreement paving the way for the formation of a new government. leaders of the social democratic party green party and the free democrats attended the signing ceremony there in berlin. in the coalition marks and end of the conservative government led by chancellor angland michael. alas, sholtes of the s p

the key people round that cabinet table were campaigning openly against each other? just back in september. lots of changes coming on and that figure of constant c i. e angle immacule retreating now to the sidelines. and police and the gandy. i fired tear gas on mondays, her despair supporters of a presidential candidate. he is refusing to concede defeat. the electoral commission has declared incumbent down the barrier, the winner of saturdays, paul with 53 percent of the vice managers has the latest now from banjo. this is the moment opposition supportive. say police choir t, i guess. as they gathered at the home of acquisition, you deep leader who say to double the test and of happened at dublin hall, just across the street from the united states embassy. in the 2nd bay area. supporters claim their candidate was robbed in saturday's presidential election and

by these incidents. now even the position of opposition leader, we'll say no double regarding the outcome of this election, suffered a setback on monday, one of the candidates who attended a meeting in his house while the results of the elections were rejected. cold and congratulated preston, adam about election. observers from both the african union and european union filed no major problems in the electoral process. or are the candidates like had you for some have already conceded defeat st. gubbins? have spoken. why do we get to libby? wouldn't this not my prerogative to imply that water is their voice? did that which is that it is foster accent and decision. the police of issued a statement by way to deal with troublemakers. i'm some offices you support are saying they would back down. it could be attempts to post election period for the gap. yeah. i'm a decrease al jazeera, but june,

compared with some parts of europe. but they do amount to the, the only tough part really of you k restrictions are going to the rest of them later. but right now has to be testing for 2 days before the leaving on any flights. and also up to 2 days before coming in on arrival. and the really controversial issue is the read list as it's called. there are in fact now 11 countries on that read list, the latest nigeria, all the other countries are african and that's quite controversial. nigeria says this amounts to travel a party, it was in south africa where army, chrome, the 1st cases of chrome actually came from. but nevertheless, even antonio get there is the un secretary general says travel bands are ineffective and unfair. so this is

a really an issue that this gaining ground in terms of controversy. a dominic rob, the deputy prime minister came under pressure and very recently in fact, today, over the issue of the u. k. not being as strict as other european states with restrictions, in fact, they're very light on restrictions. there is a plan be that the government says it will implement if the situation gets more serious, but he says no, dominic, rob said no, that will be no plan b. he is reserving, obviously the situation in terms of whether on the chrome this averted it is, is more dangerous, much more dangerous than the delta variants. but right now he's, he's, he's explicit in saying that the world won't be tougher measures taken before christmas harm. meanwhile, across the channel, france is closing night clubs and imposing strict social distancing rules in response to the only con variant. prime minister john castillo says the country is noun. it's a 5th wave of this pandemic. but he believes high vaccination rates and the re

a health center in downtown to car, were doses of the cove at 19 vaccines are available on wednesday. can the, it's not because we have a vaccine that we are immune. we need to keep protective measures and protect those around us. it's not over at a to date peace and security form held into court on monday, south africa's president sirower posts are accused rich countries of creating health apartheid. i have personally really been disappointed in the approach that the rich countries have taken on the issue of vaccines. firstly, they hoarded vaccines. they ordered war foxes than their populations required. and when we wanted vaccines, they just kept, you know, giving us the crumbs from the table. and the greed that they demonstrated is something that is quite, quite disappointing. indeed,
